Chapter 1035: The Raid on Gyeonggi
Dong Min sent eight batches of Pegasus in one go, and finally got in touch with Dong Zhuo on the basis of losing a large number of scouts.
The tiger prison is safe and sound, and even the victory is in hand. As for how Shang Ji's 100,000 iron horsemen (only 100,000 who temporarily appeared) crossed the mountains and ran to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was also confused.
Hearing that Dong Zhuo was safe and sound, Dong Min's heart was finally put down, as long as the backbone of the main heart was fine, everything would not suffer.
Just looking at Shang Ji who was showing off his might outside the city, Dong Min also had a headache.
Don't look at Dong Min's hand, there are one million Xiliang iron horsemen and three million Xiliang demon soldiers, it seems that there are many people. But Dong Min needs to control Nuoda Luoyang City, and the main task of the three million demon soldiers is to suppress the city, and they must not be used until the last moment. In other words, Dong Min's real free dispatch of troops is only one million Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Dong Min roughly estimated that if he wanted to eat Shang Ji's 100,000 elite horses, even under normal conditions, he would have to move at least five times more than the Xiliang Iron Horse to have a chance of winning.
And now it is still in the special state of [Dragon and Tiger Fighting], the Shang Ji army is like a cloud, and he will inevitably take the initiative to fight generals, although Dong Min is arrogant, but his IQ is still there, and he knows that even after demonization, he is not the opponent of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.
Once the fighting will fail, the 500,000-strong army will have to stage a drama of "rumors".
Moreover, Shang Ji had already staged a good show to show the enemy's weakness before, and the Xiliang Army also folded Zhang Fang and Niu Le, two demon generals, Dong Min didn't dare to bet that the Shang Ji Army really only had this bit of strength, so he directly ordered to guard the city gate, no matter how the Shang Army provoked, he should not attack without authorization.
To be honest, Shang Ji was still a little disappointed in Dong Min's caution, if Dong Min directly became angry and raised troops and led the main army of Luoyang City out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Shang, Shang Ji would really dare to try to raid Luoyang.
is also the Xiliang Demon Cavalry, the difference in combat effectiveness is still quite large, just like the newly trained Meng Xin Black Armor Xuanqi and the pro-guards around Shang Ji who have survived a hundred battles, although both are called Black Armor Xuanqi, but their combat effectiveness can be several times or even more than ten times worse.
The Xiliang Demon Cavalry left behind in Luoyang City belongs to this kind of budding newcomer, and the real elites were basically taken by Dong Zhuo to the Tiger Prison Pass to confront the main force of the coalition army.
If Dong Min dared to come out of the nest and lead a million Xiliang Demon Cavalry out of the city to encircle and suppress the Shang army, Shang Ji would dare to raise a large army and have a main battle with Dong Min, and have a very high degree of certainty to defeat Dong Min's army.
It's a pity that Dong Min was cautious and didn't fall for it at all, which disappointed Shang Ji's expectations.
After provoking in every possible way outside the city and determining that Dong Min really did not have the courage to go out of the city for a decisive battle, Shang Ji handed over the command of the 100,000 elite army to Zhao Yun and asked him to lead the troops to keep an eye on Luoyang City, and the rest of the army was divided into more than ten units and raged around Luoyang.
With 100,000 troops, it may sound like a joke at first glance to see a super city with 4 million defenders, but Dong Min, as the supreme commander of Luoyang, can't laugh at all.
In fact, even in real history, there is a great difference in the strength of such troops, but the phenomenon of winning more with less or even more with less is not uncommon.
Not to mention the well-known Battle of Julu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Weishui, the battle of Li Shimin's Tiger Prison, which is a little less well-known, and the battle of Wanyan Agu's battle to protect the step Dagang are all mythical achievements.
And Dong Min is unfortunate and is on the road to becoming a famous general.
Although the theoretical strength of the enemy army is forty times that of his own, Zhao Yun is not intimidated at all, and he generally goes to work every day to provoke and shout, Dong Min was so angry that he didn't dare to fight, and could only watch Zhao Yun shouting outside the city.
On the other hand, Shang Ji was not idle.
He really couldn't capture Luoyang, even if Dong Min refused to fight every day, causing the combat effectiveness of the Luoyang defenders to plummet, but as long as Luoyang City was there, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army would drop by half, and it would be impossible for Shang Ji to break through Luoyang City.
This is the domineering spirit of the first city in the world - as long as there is no internal chaos, Luoyang City is an iron-clad city!
If Dong Zhuo is determined to defend Luoyang, under the condition that Luoyang has enough food, the coalition army will have to gather the strength of the whole world, and it will have to grind for a year or two, and it will cost a lot of materials to attack Luoyang from the front.
There is no need to say much about the Xiongcheng of Luoyang, but it is impossible for any city to have such a perverted defense as Luoyang, right? As the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, there are countless satellite cities and satellite towns around Luoyang, and as the imperial capital and at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the wealth of the city here is far from being comparable to the secluded and peaceful counties in the bitter cold land.
It is no exaggeration to say that the wealth of any small city may exceed that of Pingzhou's middle city or even a big city.
Moreover, the singing and dancing in the region of Luoyang has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the soldiers and the people have not heard the voice of the soldiers for a long time, and the combat effectiveness is quite low, and it is a soft persimmon through and through.
The Shang army was divided into nine routes, and under the command of the generals of all walks of life, it was killed all over the surrounding areas, and many places were directly taken without blood, and even after seeing the Shang army in some areas, they mistakenly thought that Dong Zhuo had completely burped, and happily killed a small number of garrisoned Xiliang troops, and took the initiative to surrender the city.
As for these defective wall grasses, knowing that Shang Ji was just going deep alone, what kind of expression Dong Zhuo's army would have after he was still alive, it was none of Shang Ji's business.
The Shang Ji army is extremely efficient, sometimes it can even do a few grams a day, except for a few important military towns with heavy guards, Shang Ji gnawed and could not move, the satellite cities outside the city of Luoyang were lost one after another, and Shang Ji also took the opportunity to make a lot of money.
It's not just about money, it's about making a lot of money, it's the land of, where Wenhua flourishes, and top talents from all walks of life gather here.
In Pingzhou, the intelligence value and internal affairs value of seventy can already be called a talent, and only the willingness, whether it is in the army (transferred to a legal profession) or politics, will be treated with extremely high courtesy.
But here, a brick thrown out can hit two talented people with an intelligence value of more than seventy.
As for the smelting, medicine, construction, casting, agriculture, collection, education and other industries of talent is gathered in large numbers, many rare experts and masters in remote areas have appeared.
There are countless props and strange things with various characteristics, which make Shang Ji a little dazzled. There are still a large number of special buildings in the cities near Luoyang, and Shang Ji secretly pondered that he would not be able to enter Luoyang in a short period of time, so he demolished these special buildings, brought back the drawings obtained from the dismantling, and took root in Pingzhou.
In addition to the military is not outstanding (compared to Pingzhou), is far superior to Pingzhou in all other aspects, to put it mildly, the average appearance of female dependents in the region is much higher than Pingzhou.
Like a barbarian who broke into a girl's boudoir, Shang Ji went on a rampage and plundered all the valuable items.
Of course, Shang Ji did not forget the matter, under his control, the grain route of the Xiliang army was basically cut off, and after the rebellion of Gongsun Zhan, the coalition army and Dong Zhuo magically returned to the same level.
