Chapter 460: The Last Counterattack

There is no doubt that Gongsun Changming is seizing all opportunities and leading Li Ke on the road of no return.

At this time, Li Ke was undoubtedly the time when his outlook on life and the world was taking shape. Unlike the prince of the Tang Dynasty who lived in peace in the past, Li Ke jumped from the rice jar to the bran jar. There was a big gap in his heart, and he would have a hatred attitude towards everything.

Even though Xue Ping tried every means to suppress Li Ke's mental state and teach him how to disguise and hide, he was an eight-year-old doll after all, how could he not show it in front of Li Ze at all?

In fact, Li Ze didn't care what the royal family was doing. All those who were tricking must first have capital. Without strength, everything was just a mirror and water. The people the emperor could rely on now did seem to have some strength, but in the face of the general trend, like the morning dew under the sun, at most it would roll a few times on the leaves and flash twice.

Li Ze will follow his established steps step by step.

He hopes that the process will be peaceful and natural, rather than the swelling of heads and blood.

Gongsun Changming is guiding Li Ke to make mistakes.

First plant a poisonous seed in Li Ke's heart, then slowly water it to take root and sprout and break out of the ground. In this process, Li Ke will inevitably make mistakes. Even if he does not make mistakes, someone will deliberately guide him to make mistakes. Under Li Ze's nose, these mistakes have nowhere to follow.

Li Ze could imagine Gongsun Changming's next move. Li Ke, who made a mistake, would make his subjects slowly dislike him and alienate him, thinking that he was a person who was not successful and had more than enough trouble, and it would be wrong to put his hope on him.

This is a vicious cycle. When Li Ke realizes this, he will only think that he is doing something bad. He will definitely speed up his pace and make more mistakes. In the end, he can only go alone and then lose in a mess.

To be honest, Gongsun Changming's design is good.

But Li Ze felt a little unbearable.

Because he saw himself in Li Ke.

He is really pitiful to Li Ke.

If possible, he really wants this person who has cared too much hope since childhood to have a good end.

So, he tried to influence him from another direction.

I hope he can listen.

There was nowhere to hear the deafening sound of golden drums and shouts, and Li Ke stood up and looked in that direction.

"Taifu, the enemy is attacking."

"Yeah!" Li Ze nodded: "If you are anxious, you still have to jump over the wall. Can we not allow the enemy to kick their legs a few times before dying? If your Highness is interested, let's take a look?"

"I'm interested." Li Ke said excitedly. He had never seen the real battlefield with his own eyes, nor had he seen the desperate battle between the enemy and us. In his heart, he was naturally full of passion.

"Okay." Li Ze called Li Mi to the horse loudly.

When Li Mi recruited his personal guard Yicong and prepared the horses, Xue Ping, who was originally reviewing official documents in the central army's tent, ran out happily and wanted to go with him.

Li Ze just smiled faintly at Xue Ping's attentiveness.

The troops directly under Tian Yue in Luzhou City were sweeping up to counterattack. When Li Ze and Li Luo and his group climbed onto a built high platform behind the rammed earth wall, they happened to see another wave of attacks coming.

Looking around, waves of enemies gushing out from Luzhou City rushed towards the rammed earth wall like a tide. The distance between the two sides was only a few distances. At first glance, it seemed that the two walls were filled with dense crowds.

Under the rammed earth wall, Wuwei soldiers lined up tight military formations, with large shields as walls and spears as forests. On the rammed earth wall, rows of crossbow archers held crossbows and aimed at the distance. Beside them, there was a soldier sitting cross-legged, with two crossbows placed in front of them. These people were responsible for posing strings and were responsible for raising the crossbows after an accident. After the rammed earth wall, more reserve troops sat cross-legged and ready to launch a counterattack at any time.

Li Ze's arrival did not affect the preparations for war ahead at all. This is also the tradition of Wuwei. Once the commander-in-chief of the front line is appointed, the commander-in-chief will be fully responsible for the battle, and no one else shall interfere in the command of the war, even Li Ze will not do it.

Now the commander-in-chief of the front line is You Yong. At this moment, You Yong is standing on another platform not far away. When he saw Li Ze and his group, he just bowed slightly and turned all his attention back to the battlefield.

On the platform, a large flag was waving, and countless catapults behind the rammed earth wall heard the sound of collapse. The long throwing arms were raised, and the large ones were more than a hundred kilograms and the small ones were more than ten kilograms of stones flew up to the sky like raindrops. After flying to the highest point, they turned their heads and smashed them down.

Accompanied by the trembling sound of the ground, the dense attacking team immediately appeared in large blank spaces.

Above the tower, the unique whistling sound of the powerful crossbows resounded throughout the battlefield. Every few dozen meters, there was a rammed earth tower, which was more than a meter higher than the earth wall. One or two powerful crossbows were placed on each tower.

The blank that appeared was quickly filled up again. It seemed that the number of attackers did not decrease due to the continuous blows. Countless crossbows were fired on the rammed earth wall at this moment.

The dense crossbow arrows instantly filled everyone's vision.

At this time, the attacking side was already very close to them. If the barrier of the rammed earth wall was not counted, the straight line distance would not exceed one hundred steps at most.

The cruel side of war was truly presented to Li Ke for the first time.

Some people were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground without saying a word. Some people were caught in arrows in front of them, rolling all over the ground with their faces covering their faces, wailing, but then disappeared into the crowd. Some people were torn to pieces by a crossbow, and their powerful force even flew in the air with their remaining limbs leaving their bodies, and blood was sprinkled all the way down.

There was nothing on the ground just now, and in a blink of an eye, a layer of corpses were covered with.

But the attackers continued.

Li Ke saw that they were poked holes after the shield, saw that they were picked up one by one, and also saw that the defender's shield was smashed, the spear was cut off, and the iron bones were seen. The attacker threw the sledgehammer into the dense lineup. He saw that the brains of Wuwei soldiers burst and fell to the ground and died.

Under the rammed earth wall, it instantly became the Shura hell.

The attack lasted for half an hour and finally ended with the lack of successors of the army in Luzhou City. The team with high spirits retreated in a mess at this time, while the catapult and powerful crossbows followed their pace and harvested the last wave of results.

As the last huge stone bomb fell from the air, bounced a few shots on the ground and then remained silent, the battle finally came to an end. On the battlefield, there were only countless injured people crying out in sorrow.

Teams of Wuwei soldiers rushed out and carried the injured back.

Li Ke was surprised to see some injured Wei Bo soldiers crawling towards Luzhou City on the ground, but were soon caught up by the Wuwei army. He thought that these wounded soldiers would die, and the wounded soldiers were also waving their swords and guns to prepare for a final fight, but they were all knocked out immediately and were carried back together with the injured Wuwei army.

The wounded soldiers were constantly carried by Luoyi and passed by the high platform. Looking at the injured, who were bleeding, missing arms and legs, and hissing, Li Ke's face was pale and hissing and trembling slightly.

What shocked him even more was that the Wuwei soldiers who died in battle were now not far from him, and were neatly placed on the flat ground one by one, with soldiers squatting on the ground, registering something one by one.

In just half an hour, there were not many injured people, and there were as many as four or five hundred dead people alone.

"This is war." Li Ze looked at Li Ke and said. "Death and blood are the main themes of war. Your Highness, if you want to win with dominance and kingship, then such scenes will appear again and again."

"Tao Fu, domineering, is the kingly way useless?"

"Of course not." Li Ze said: "They can be auxiliary or intimidating. Only when the fist is not shot out is the most threatening. Once it is shot out, they will know each other's bottom line."

You Yong hurried over and bowed to Li Ze and Li Ke with his fists.

"Thank you for your hard work, General You." Li Ze nodded.

"Fortunately, Jishuai was prepared for his success in deceived the enemy and built this rammed earth wall to support him. Otherwise, it would be difficult for our soldiers to withstand such intensity of attack." You Yong's face flushed, and it was obvious that he was also very nervous.

"Maybe there are still one or two more times, but that's it." Li Ze said: "Weizhou has almost been completed. Good news may come soon."

You Yong had a happy look on his face: "That's great, but I'm a little worried about the Hedong Soldiers. Zhu Youzhen's Xuanwu Army is much more powerful than Wei Bo Soldiers at this moment."

"Of course, except for Tian Yue's troops, many of the rest of Wei Bobing were already indifferent, but Xuan Wu had no way out. They would definitely fight to the death. But Qianniu Guards had passed, just in case."

In the direction of Changzhi, Zhu Youzhen wiped the mixture of blood and sweat from his face and let out a long breath. He finally broke through Li Cunzhong's defense line and tore a big hole in the encirclement.

"I inform Tian Yue that I have opened a hole here and asked him to mobilize the troops immediately and then follow, completely defeat the Hedong Army, break the encirclement, and then echo the troops of Cao Shuai of Luzhou." Zhu Youzhen said excitedly.

"General, look!" Before Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he saw a force in the distance quickly coming towards them. The sound of drums rumbled, and the fleeing Hedong Army gathered from both wings towards the rear of the troops.
