Chapter 22: The Attack

Wang Shichong didn't know the scene outside Luoyang City, but he could see it outside the city by arresting people and digging ditches. Standing on the tall city wall of Luoyang, you can see that there are migrant workers digging everywhere. Seeing that the trench was widening day by day, and the excavated soil was becoming more and more day by day, Wang Shichong felt hopeless.

Fucking others dig trenches, and the soil is piled up on both sides. The Tang army dug a ditch and threw all the soil aside. This is going to be my own life, and I am afraid that I will have to give wings to the cavalry after digging for two more days.

"Once the ditch is dug, we will be trapped in Luoyang City and will never be able to get out again." Yuan Wendu was about to cry, and now he decided that he had climbed Wang Shichong to kill Yang Tong to stand on his own, which was an out-and-out stupid idea.

"Afraid of what? We have an army of 60,000. Even if there are more than 10,000 cavalry, what is the difficulty of breaking through the blockade of the Tang army. Wang Shichong reprimanded his close old comrade-in-arms, and his rich life ruined his bravery. But it also fueled his ambitions, and it was a big deal. Wealth is in danger, even if he dies, he will lose Li Tang's two teeth.

I don't believe that Li Tang really dares to fight to the death with himself, and the elite soldiers and good generals have all been defeated with him. What to deal with Dou Jiande, the current Dou Jiande is strong and strong, with 100,000 people under his command. The story of the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch in the back, he Li Yuan should not know.

"Son-in-law, can you take someone to rush?" Wang Shichong looked at Shan Xiongxin. Luo Cheng is still ill, and now the only one who can provoke the beam is Shan Xiongxin.

"No!" Shan Xiongxin agreed without hesitation. There was no other way, and he also understood that the fate of being blocked in the city was to starve to death. The Tang army could be supplied from Guanzhong in a steady stream. But Da Zheng can't do it, he is trapped in Luoyang City, and the food is one grain less than one grain. What should I do if I run out of food? Could it be cannibalism? You have to go out of the city to fight, even if you die in battle, it is better than starving to death.

"Good! I march for the soldiers who set out on the expedition! When the time comes, I will see for myself how the soldiers broke the Tang army. Meritorious soldiers, all officers are promoted to the third level and rewarded with thousands of gold. Wang Shichong knows that if you want people to work hard, you have to spend some money. The boss who picks the door will not have the loyalty of the younger brother. Li Mi is a lesson from the past.

Qu Tutong galloped across the vast field, and Luoyang City was too big. Although there are many troops of more than 100,000, they can be scattered around the blockade, and the strength is still overstretched.

"General Qu Tu, when do you say that such a trap will be a head. I heard that the food in the city is enough to eat for a year, so won't we be able to go back to Chang'an for a year? Emperor Zan's Dou Liang asked loudly. He just recently got a concubine, and it was time to have fun. Unexpectedly, he was brought to the front of the army by an edict. As a relative, he is already very content to be able to get the title of Duke of the Kingdom.

Earning credit and earning the family business still has to be left to the juniors. In this life, it is good to eat and wait for death to live the remaining years, and people in their fifties should also live for the rest of their lives. Now what Dou Liang is thinking about is how to go back to Chang'an, and the most uncomfortable person about the anxiety of the war may be him.

"That's not all! If Wang Shichong was smart enough, they would have rationed food from now on. The soldiers can eat their stomachs, and he doesn't care if the people live or die. That's enough food for a year, and you can eat for about two years. Although he didn't want to think about it, Qu Tutong still had a scene of bones in his mind. In sieges, food is usually given priority to the army, and the first to die must be the civilians.

"Two years?" Qu Tutong's words were heard in Dou Liang's ears, and it was standard bad news. People in their fifties, time is short. If you really stay here for two years, you can say whether it is good or not when you return to Chang'an.

"Don't think too much about it, you are the royal family, and you are old. Your Majesty won't let you stay in the army for too long! Qu Tutong reluctantly enlightened Dou Rail, and he was two years older than Dou Rail in terms of age. The sinus orbit can be left, but the flexion process cannot be left. He is a general, and when he wants to save his family business for his children and grandchildren, he doesn't dare to go back to Chang'an to live a quiet life.

"Brother, our old arms and legs are useless. Now my back hurts so badly that I've seen if I can ride a horse in a few years. Don't work too hard, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let the children earn their own achievements! After fighting for a lifetime, it's time to rest! ”

"After a while I passed the camp and went to my camp. I got two bottles of medicinal wine from Hou Yunhao in Lintong, and it is said that the treatment of bruises is miraculous. Let the military doctor rub it for you twice, I've tried it absolutely true. Qu Tutong decided not to continue to discuss this topic with Dou Rail, out of the queen of the Dou family, in the foreseeable future, the Dou family will not be defeated. My own family can't compare with others!

"Thank you so much, brother, Yun Hao, this kid didn't say to give me some. When he returned to Chang'an, the old man wanted to go to Lintong to beat him and not respect the old man. "Dou Liang is definitely qualified to rely on the old and sell the old in front of Yun Hao, who made Yun Hao only nineteen this year.

"Hahaha! That kid is slippery, you have to be careful! ”

The two were talking, and the team had reached the edge of a wood. It's September, summer is coming to an end, and autumn hasn't come yet. The vegetation was dense, the woods were lush, and the sunlight was obscured by the trees, making it dark inside.

"On this hot day, let's go to the forest to rest ......!" Before Dou Rail's words were finished, Qu Tutong's eyes stood up.

The horizontal knife in his hand was unsheathed and shouted: "Formation!" ”

Dou Liang was still confused, and suddenly countless cavalry rushed out of the forest. Dou Rail's face turned white with fright, and he wanted to barge the horse and leave. The reins were pulled by Qu Tutong!

"Brother, it's a little late to run. It's not too far from the camp, someone went back to report the news, let's form a formation to protect ourselves, and there is still a way to survive waiting for rescue. If we run away like this, we will not be able to go back to the two thousand people who are being chased after us. Even if you are lucky enough to escape, can His Royal Highness King Qin's military law spare you? We don't give credit to the juniors, and we can't lose when we are old. "Qu Tutong is really anxious, a matter of life and death. This old bastard ran away, and the military spirit would be scattered all of a sudden. Then this battle is a fart!

"Can you really withstand it?" Dou Liang's two legs trembled, he was just a scholar, and he had never been on the battlefield. Seeing the shock of the cavalry charge, he was already frightened.

"Don't worry, there is an old man who will definitely not let your brother have anything to do with you." Qu Tutong deserved to be a famous general of the Great Sui, and quickly commanded the soldiers to form a formation. While sending people back to report to Li Er, he ordered people to scatter triangular nails as if they didn't want money. Whether or not you can withstand the first wave of charges depends on whether this thing works or not.
