The drums shook the sky, the horns roared, and the battle on Longju Island was blown.

In an instant, countless flying stones flew towards Longju Island like meteors.

It either hit the thick ice wall and exploded, or flew into the city.

Tang Zu, who was unlucky, hit a flying stone weighing dozens of pounds, and died before he could even say anything.

I have to say that Dazha Lugong is indeed skilled in military use, with a mature look, and does not look like a rising star at all.

He completely saw through the weakness of the Tang army's lack of heavy city defense equipment, and used the brainless bombing of heavy city siege tools to force the Tang army to dare not show up.

But the plateau's ice-like climate is so suitable for defense. Once you find that the city wall smashes cracks on the cannon stones, you pour it with hot water and immediately become like a renovated one.

This city wall with infinite self-repair greatly reduced the power of Tubo's heavy siege equipment.

Dazhalugong had already gotten command from Bugexi at this moment. Faced with Wang Zhongsi's move, he could only choose to command himself and do his best.

"Bugexi, you lead the team to press forward! I will pull the stone throwing cart into you to help you. We will work hard together from far to near, and we must take down this Longju Island."

With his order!

Tubo soldiers on the ice layer above Qinghai Lake, as dense as an ant colony, shouted loudly and rushed towards the ice-cast city wall.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With a loud shout.

Arrows fall like rain.

The Tubo soldiers running at the front protected their bodies with their shields and rushed forward desperately.

The sharp whistling sound of the arrow stone cut through the world. The powerful crossbows and arrows penetrated the soldiers as their chests, and some of them shot their entire body to the ground without exertion.

The blood remained on the ice and gradually freezes, forming a terrible blood ice.

Wang Zhongsi stood on the city wall and directed the defense himself.

This is not his first idea to repair the ice city wall with sand and soil.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao conquered Ma Chao, and was attacked by the Western Liang cavalry and was unable to set up camps.

Staff member Lou Gui gave Cao Cao a plan to use sand to make an ice city with the severe cold of winter, and the results were excellent.

Wang Zhongsi liked to study military stories since he was a child, and was criticized by his mother for this. Until he received the support of Pei Min, the Queen Mother did not say anything else.

The method of casting an ice city by sand and soil is the story I read at that time.

When he learned that Dazha Lugong summoned the people of the entire Qinghai Lake to build siege equipment, Wang Zhongsi was thinking of how to resist.

Suddenly I thought of this allusion in my memory and tried it. It turned out that the effect was much better than recorded in history.

Historically, the place where Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought decisively was in Weinan, south of the Wei River in Guanzhong, located below the plateau. Even in the cold winter, the temperature was limited, and there was no way to compare with Qinghai Lake.

The temperature here is not an exaggeration to say that water turns into ice. If you take out a basin of ice water, you can watch the water freezes into ice with your naked eyes.

The ice city built here is more solid than the ice city in the Central Plains.

This is where the wall surrounding the entire Longju Island...

With the Ice City in it, Wang Zhongsi believed that he would be able to survive this winter and then blow the horn of counterattack.

************

Chang'an, Xingqing Palace.

Yang Shenjin and Wang Hui received a special invitation from Li Longji and entered the palace together.

Both of them were planning a matter with the Taifuqing and walked into the palace together.

Wang Hui tactfully gave the eunuch a small sum of money" to the eunuch leading the way, and smiled and said, "Do you know that your majesty summoned someone and others, what's the matter?"

The eunuch who led the way was Yang Ba, who was one of the confidants in Li Longji's palace.

Yang Shenjin and Wang Hui led Yang Ba to lead the way, which also shows their current status as bare hands.

This is also Li Longji's temperament. Whoever can help him will be close to him.

Nepotism is Li Longji's consistent employment standard.

Yang Ba naturally accepted it.

Now, except for Pei Min's money, there is no one else whom they dare not ask for intimate eunuchs like them.

Hiding the coins in his sleeve, Yang Baxiao said, "No big deal, Wang Shaofu doesn't have to be too careful. Your Majesty is in a good mood recently, so he specially called Liyuan to perform a dance in the palace and invite the two of them to the palace to have fun together."

"I see!"

Wang Hui looked happy.

Yang Shenjin looked worried and pulled Wang Hui and whispered: "Wang Hui, the war on the front line is tense. I heard that Duke Pei fought in the Western Regions in a particularly tragic battle. The damage to the war alone was nearly 8,000. The subsequent serious injuries were incurred, and more than 10,000 soldiers died in total. Two other military commanders were killed, and many generals were seriously injured. As the commander of the three armies, the Duke even went on the battle himself, and the war was tragic..."

"The Duke of Pei is invincible and predicts things like a god. How could he have suffered such losses? It shows that the situation in the Western Regions is not easy. It is really inappropriate for His Majesty to indulge in singing and dancing in Chang'an."

When Wang Hui heard Yang Shenjin calling him his name, he felt a little displeasure.

Yang Shenjin shouted for half his life, but Wang Hui didn't feel anything.

However, as his status improved, Wang Hui felt more and more that his friend was disrespectful to him.

He was very disgusted with his own name, but he just didn't say it.

Frowning slightly, Wang Hui said softly: "It's not that serious. Before, the situation in Nanzhao, Tubo and Arab countries was turbulent, and our court felt like a storm. Now the Jiedushi Geshuhan has pacified Nanzhao, and Wang Zhongsi's deputy Jiedushi captured Longju Island and built Yinglong City, taking the initiative. The Duke Pei defeated the Lion King, who claimed to be unbeaten in the West, and the situation was very good. Your Majesty is in a happy mood, so what can you do to sing and dance? Combining work and rest, how can you not understand it? Your Majesty is in a good mood, don't wipe out your Majesty's happiness."

Yang Shenjin remained silent.

The two of them entered the hall through the summons.

When Li Longji saw his two generals enter, he laughed and asked them to take their seats. He said with great interest: "The two dear friends are here at the right time. Next is the most exciting peacock dance, which is the best dancer in the Pear Garden. Xie Aman's specialty."

Li Longji is very artistic and is definitely an artist who delays the emperor.

He praised Xie Aman so much, and it was obvious that Xie Aman's excellent dancing skills had already conquered him.

Yang Shenjin looked at the singing and dancing in front of him unhappily.

Wang Hui was very excited. When he saw Xie Aman's baby face, a pair of mountains that were about to break out of his body, and the thin waist of the willow, his eyes were about to glar.

Seeing that Yang Shenjin's expression was a little solemn, Li Longji was not happy in his heart, and he only focused on discussing with Wang Hui, who knew how to appreciate it, and had a great conversation.

Yang Shenjin really couldn't stand it, so he took his leave first.

Li Longji didn't refuse, and continued to chat happily with Wang Hui about various topics.

It was not until night fell that Li Longji asked Yang Ba to send Wang Hui back with unfulfilled wish.

Wang Hui talked enthusiastically to Yang Ba along the way, talking about Li Longji's preferences.

This time there was no one around, and he stuffed some treasures over.

Yang Ba said softly: "Don't look at His Majesty's smile, in fact, he still thinks of Concubine Wu Jie in his heart."

Wang Hui said incredibly surprised: "Your Majesty's love and nature are really shameful. It's just sad that your body is hurt. Your Majesty is in the world, why not find a beautiful woman to accompany you? I think Xie Aman is very good..."

Yang Ba said: "Hao Master has said it a long time ago, but His Majesty's preferences are a little different. He seems to prefer plump and charming, and has no interest in the little girl."
