The town army of the four towns and eight states arrived one after another, and the Tang army and the Japanese drama outside the city of Shouchun were also expanding day by day.

In Li Congjing's prediction, the four towns and eight prefectures will mobilize about 30,000 soldiers and about 100,000 people, the former is naturally tasked with fighting on the front line of Shouchun, and the latter will not only ensure the logistics supply of the Shouchun army, but also take on the responsibility of some auxiliary troops. At some point, it is not impossible to choose the young men of the elect to go to war.

The crowd tactic is still relevant at some point now.

The Tang army's assault on Shouchun City resumed.

Li Congjing is still in the battle camp every day, and he does not directly command the battle - Li Yanchao is in charge, but only plays the role of supervising the war and boosting morale. As the autumn days deepened and the weather continued to get cooler, he no longer stood on the boxcar to blow the wind, but sat on the Hu bed in the middle of the army, which seemed a little relaxed.

After Meng Ping defeated Liu Xin's troops in Tushan, more than 10,000 were captured, most of which were sent to Shouchun. Of course, Li Congjing will not be stingy with this batch of prisoners. In any case, the attack on Shouchun Castle was a matter of great casualties, and it was necessary to drive the prisoners to charge ahead.

Li Congjing didn't care about the casualties of these captives, there were always dead people in war, and it was better to die for the captives than to sacrifice their own troops. Of course, if there are captives who fight bravely and make war exploits, Li Congjing will not be stingy to incorporate them, and it is not impossible to reuse them.

As for the headquarters of the Hundred Battles Army, with the momentum of Tushan's great victory, he led a part of the Wu army to surrender and go east along the river to attack Haozhou. Guo Tingwei led the rout to retreat to Haozhou, it was when morale was low, and it was time to chase and fight, and Li Congjing would not let go of such an opportunity.

Huaishui East Line Weihao, Chu two prefectures, most of the troops were transferred by Liu Xin, now the defense is not very tight, although there are Zhongli, Xuyi, Shanyang three towns, but its military strength can not be compared with Shouchun, there is no such figures as Gao Xiansi to strengthen the city defense, refine the soldiers, it is much easier to attack than Shouchun.

If the four towns of Huaishui are like Shouchun, then Hao and Chu will not need to fight.

In order to enrich the combat strength of the Hundred Battles Army and accelerate the process of attacking Hao and Chu Prefectures, Li Congjing sent 5,000 guards to the east to support Meng Ping.

It's just that at the moment, the war in Shouchun City is still progressing slowly.

"Huainan is the Jiangbei defense line with the barrier, focusing on the four towns of Shouchun, Zhongli, Xuyi and Shanyang. In order to give full play to the defensive role of these four towns, it is necessary to have reinforcements from the north of the Great River, echo with each other, and use the Jianghuai waterway and the city to connect the Jiangbei defense line into a surface by the line to form a strong defense network. Dingyuan Li Decheng and the previous Tushan Liu Xin are doing this kind of thing. ”

Li Congjing's bed stopped on a wooden platform that was nine feet high and three feet long and wide, and there was a small case beside him, Mo Li sat behind the small case, and said loudly at this time: "In this spider web, the city is the node, the river and the official road are the network lines, and the soldiers and horses are spiders. One static and one movement, the combination of movement and static, can show the power of the Jianghuai defense line. Speaking of unbreakable or indestructible, this is all light, and more importantly, this cobweb is full of elasticity, and all parties are dependent on each other, because of the convenience of the waterway, the support echoes are in the middle of the day. Once the intruder behaves carelessly and falls into the cobweb, he will be tied hand and foot, left and right, and then he will be eaten and strangled by this large web. ”

"If our army wants to crack the defensive web of Huainan, we must first hunt and kill the spiders in the spider web, so that this big web will lose its vitality; Then attack the node, break the support of all sides in the spider web, every time our army captures a node, it can restrain several parties, and every time our army loses a node, it will be surrounded by enemies; After the first two have achieved a certain level, our army will be able to compete with Huainan for the dominance of this cobweb. But in any case, the cobwebs still exist and will not be destroyed, only the ownership of the nodes and who the spiders walking on the webs are. ”

From this point of view, the four towns of Huaishui are just the edge nodes that prevent our army from entering this cobweb. If we capture the four towns of Huaishui, our army will be able to enter this cobweb, but if we can't capture the four towns of Huaishui, our army will not even be qualified to enter this cobweb. And if you ignore the four towns of Huaishui and crash into this cobweb, the Huainan lord is treacherous, the soldiers are weak and the generals are cowardly, if not, there are 100,000 troops, and under the premise that our army is not familiar with waterways and has no water division, it will eventually be beaten to pieces by Huainan in this cobweb, and in the end I am afraid that there is no way to retreat. ”

The battle in front was fierce, the sound of killing shook the sky, on the Shouchun city and the siege ladder, from time to time there were soldiers falling under the city like dumplings, and countless streams of blood were spilled at every moment.

Li Congjing's eyes were calm, "The world says that the world is like a chessboard, and with Mo Ge'er's words, isn't the world also a big net built by cities, mountains and rivers?" It's just that the situation is not as obvious as Huaisi. ”

Mo Li nodded and continued: "Meng Ping Tushan attacked Liu Xin, and King Lu Ding fought Li Decheng far away, the former has already won a big victory, and is attacking Hao and Chu Erzhou, in order to capture the four towns of Huaishui in one fell swoop, and the latter is a decisive battle with the largest enemy spider in this spider web, the former is related to the way of our army's advance and retreat, and the latter is related to whether our army can occupy the initiative to seize this spider web, both of which are extremely important, and neither can afford to lose. ”

"Huainan has been operating the Jiangbei defense line for many years, and its foundation is solid, although it is a passive defense, in fact, the situation is favorable to it. Jinling talents gather, like the stars in the night sky, as long as they breathe down, with Xu Zhihe, this round of bright moon is the first to brighten, who knows what kind of dazzling light will be emitted? ”

"In the past, Zhu Wen coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the power in the Central Plains was great, and the heroes bowed their heads and the Quartet were attached, how indispensable! But after the defeat in the battle with Yang Xingmi, he and his descendants for two generations throughout his life did not dare to use a single soldier against Huainan, did he not care? It's that they know what they can't do! ”

"Now, our army marches into Huainan, to seize Jiangbei, the first emphasis on the word 'fast' in the method of military use, only fast, can not give the Jiangbei states and counties the opportunity to calmly arrange, can not give Jinling characters the opportunity to shine, can not give Huainan the opportunity to transfer troops and send generals, can let our army avoid being bound by this big net and falling into the quagmire."

In the end, Mo Li said in a deep voice: "Shouchun is not ke, Hao and Chu are not peaceful, and King Lu is in Dingyuan County, and Li Decheng has fought three battles, but all three battles have been drawn, which is not good news." ”

Li Congjing was silent. In Dingyuan County, Li Congke fought Li Decheng three times, with a record of two draws and one win, because the victory was only a small victory, so Mo Li said that he had drawn all three battles, which is understandable.

"The new formation of the guards and the pro-army, although the combat power is there, after the integration, it has not been a big war, and it cannot be called elite; Li Decheng is known as half of the Great Wall in Huainan, and Zhou Ben is called Huainan Double Wall, and the soldiers he brings are also Huainan elite soldiers, although the three battles and three draws are quite unacceptable, but it is also reasonable to think about it. ”

Li Congjing said this, his attitude was noncommittal, and he added: "Train troops with war." Li Congke first had two draws, and then there were small victories, which shows that the guards are growing, and over time, they may not be comparable to the army in front of the palace. ”

For the time being, the guards and pro-army cannot be compared with the ordinary palace front army, let alone the hundred battle army; Li Congke's talent is superior to Li Decheng, and it is difficult to say for a while. But Li Congjing did not hesitate to suspend the Shouchun war, and also gave Li Congke a total of troops equivalent to Li Decheng, of course, he would not just hope that he would draw with Li Decheng.

After the reorganization, 60,000 guards and pro-army, 20,000 stayed in Luoyang, sat in the center when the Tang Dynasty cut the domain, and had the effect of fixing the sea god needle, 40,000 went to Shouchun, Li Congke pulled 30,000, supported Meng Ping 5,000, and divided the army to Shengtang, and the rest in front of him was enough to be a firefighter outside Shouchun City. At this time, Li Congke was invincible in Dingyuan County, which was extremely unfavorable to the overall situation, and Li Congjing had no troops to support - he couldn't transfer the town army in four towns and eight prefectures, less was useless, and more affected the Shouchun war.

But Li Congjing is not without mobile soldiers and horses.

Three thousand gentlemen.

But don't move lightly.

Mo Li looked at the fierce battle of Shouchun City, and sighed: "Gao Xiansi is really a good general, Tu Shan prisoner, is still the armor of the Wu army, our army drove the siege of the city, so that it and the Shouchun Wu army cannibalism, at such a time, the Wu army in the city has not collapsed, it is really rare." ”

Originally, these Tushan Wu troops were going to come to help the Shouchun Wu army, kill the enemy side by side with them, and fight against the Tang army. I never thought that in the blink of an eye, I became an enemy, and I came to the city to fight with my life and death. Both sides are Wu army armor, fighting to the death in the city, this kind of gap and psychological impact is enough to collapse, and the Shouchun Wu army is still capable of fighting.

The same robe, the same robe, the same robe.

Li Congjing suddenly raised his head.

He heard the cries, mixed with the shouts of the Wu soldiers.

The Wu army at the head of Shouchun City sent the sharp blades in their hands into the bodies of their comrades, and then pushed them down the city to Huangquan, such a battle was enough to make some people tear up their eyes and cry out.

Is it guilt, sadness, or anger?

Who can tell the difference between crying and killing?

A Shouchun army at the head of the city forced the "Wu army" who jumped on the head of the city to the female wall, and the horizontal knife swept through the throat of the other party, and the warm blood splashed on his face, dispelling two lines of tears of grief and indignation, and when pushing the other party's body from the city, he shouted to the acquaintance in a dumb throat: "Wu Lang, let's go!" ”

There was also a wounded Shou Chunjun, after his companion was cut down by the "Wu army" who rushed up, he screamed and rushed to the other party, and fell out of the city with the man in his arms, "The national thief is killed!" ”

Li Congjing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up with his hands in his hands, facing the human purgatory in front of him.

A tragic melody sounded in his heart.

How can he say that he has no clothes, and is with his son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son.

How can it be said that there is no clothes, and he is the same as the son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son.

Do you say that you have no clothes, and are clothed with your son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with his son.

"What is war? It's just a matter of killing humanity. He Li Congjing was behind him, and I don't know who underestimated him.

In the world of great controversy, the same room fights. Fratricidal fratricide, ritual collapse.
