After a battle, Li Shimin fully understood Wang Shichong's strength, that is, although weaker than the Tang Army, but absolutely not to be underestimated, Wang Shichong's mistakes are mainly focused on his use of people, but in pure military means, Wang Shichong is worthy of being the opponent who has defeated Li Mi, and if you want to completely defeat this tough opponent, it is unrealistic to fight quickly, Li Shimin can only use the strategy of approaching step by step, steady and steady, in order to be able to step by step The opponent is like a desperate situation, but such a tactic, But it takes a lot of time.

Li Shimin's heart clearly knows that the battle of Luoyang, at this time, has completely become a wrestling battle between the warring sides to compete patiently, who can hold on longer, who can win, originally, for the Tang army in an advantageous position, this aspect is not a problem at all, Li Shimin has enough confidence to last longer than Wang Shichong, however, Li Shimin clearly knows that when the endurance of the competition reaches the last moment, by that time, the warring sides are exhausted, and the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, Dou Jiande, who had been waiting for a long time in Hebei, would definitely intervene, so that the already exhausted Tang army would have to face the Dou Jiande army, which had just been put into the battlefield and had high morale, and the shape of the Tang army would be very bad.

But so what? Thinking of the crisis that will be encountered at that time, Li Shimin's heart actually gave birth to a sense of joy, the vicissitudes of the sea, Fang showed the true character of a hero, there is no strong opponent and a difficult desperate situation, how can he show his Li Shimin's heroic spirit, if Dou Jiande does not come, it will be fine, originally he and Li Shimin did not have any hatred, however, if he does not know how to lift, stupidly led the army to come and try to pick up the cheap, Li Shimin does not mind beating the grass and rabbits while beating Wang Shichong. Dou Jiande will be cleaned up, and it will also save the trouble of going on an expedition to Hebei in the future!! Li Shimin thought of it with pride in his heart.

Therefore, in the following days, Li Shimin did not take the risk to reconnoitre, and his army continued to maintain its original speed, approaching the eastern capital Luoyang step by step. During this period, although the Tang army still had to carry out various offensive operations in the process of advancing, however, the surrender of Wang Shichong's troops is still not uncommon, after all. Wang Shichong's intention to shrink his forces at this time was already extremely obvious, and his generals also saw it clearly, Wang Shichong clearly regarded them as outcasts, and these people were naturally unwilling to sit still, so as soon as the Tang army arrived, they immediately took refuge, so that the Tang army's advance speed was very smooth, and finally. In February of the following year, Li Shimin personally led the vanguard of the Tang Army. Arrived at the periphery of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and began to encircle Luoyang.

At this time, there was already a shortage of materials in Luoyang City, and after the Tang army arrived at Luoyang City, this situation would be even more severe, after all, with the Tang army pressing forward step by step. Originally, Luoyang's communication with the outside world was cut off by the Tang army one by one, and because it was not far from the time when Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi in the big battle, Luoyang was far from recovering from the trauma of Li Mi's siege, and the reserves of materials were not abundant, and with the arrival of the Tang army. This problem will become more severe, Li Shimin concluded, Wang Shichong will be desperate to go out of the city, while the Tang army is not stable when the decisive attack on the Tang army, after all, this is also his only last chance, once the Tang army is surrounded by Luoyang, Luoyang will really become a lonely city, at that time, Wang Shichong, who is isolated from inside and outside, in addition to counting on Dou Jiande in Hebei to send troops to rescue Luoyang, can only stick to a way to go, and for Wang Shichong, it is tantamount to sitting still. Therefore, as long as Wang Shichong still has a hint of a gambler's mentality in his heart, he will inevitably go out of the city to fight!

Then the development of things, as Li Shimin expected, just when he led the army to the periphery of Luoyang City, ready to set up camp and go down, the tall gate of the eastern capital Luoyang suddenly opened, Wang Shichong's army, with a decisive momentum walked out, and suddenly pounced on the Tang army formation that had just arrived, and was slightly chaotic, Wang Shichong wanted to take advantage of the Tang army's unstable foothold to hit the Tang army by surprise, however, how could Li Shimin, who had been prepared for this, be defenseless, with the order of King Qin, The Tang army's formation quickly changed into an offensive form, and then, facing the swooping Wang Shichong army, they rushed back - the best defense is to attack, attack, attack......!!!!

The armies of the two sides collided together like two huge waves, and then they were stirred together, Wang Shichong's army was a strong army that had defeated the world's first anti-king Li Mi, and the Tang army led by Li Shimin was a proud soldier who came from a series of major battles in West Qin and Hedong, so the momentum of both sides was extremely strong, even if the countless comrades-in-arms around him had turned into corpses and fell down in an instant, the remaining soldiers still went forward one after another desperately forward, knives and blood, shields and flesh, screams and roars instantly filled the entire battlefield, It has become the main theme of this Shura field.

Li Shimin had already led the Xuanjia cavalry team to rush forward as early as when the two armies met, and after rushing into the front line that the opposing army had become chaotic because of the short hand, he did not retreat at all because of the stubborn resistance of the enemy, on the contrary, he was ruthless, desperately charging forward, at this time in front of him, Wei Chigong, who had saved Li Shimin's life not long ago, was holding a steel whip and struggling to open the way for Li Shimin. In front of Wei Chigong, there were still countless soldiers of the Wang Army who rushed forward to launch a decisive charge against him, so even such a fierce general with the courage of ten thousand men was already deep in the enemy formation at this time, and he could not be killed for a while.

And Li Shimin has fallen into a crisis, due to the deep encirclement, Li Shimin's mount has been killed due to heavy losses at this time, Li Shimin has been forced to fight on foot to meet the enemy, and the Xuanjia cavalry originally gathered around him have already been dispersed by Wang Shichong's army, fortunately, although Li Shimin was wearing armor when he rushed into battle, he was the same as the general Xuanjia cavalry, so after being dispersed, Wang Shichong's soldiers did not recognize him as the commander of the entire Tang Army. Therefore, it was not focused on, and Li Shimin was also brave, so although he was deeply trapped in the enemy formation and forced to fight on foot, it was not difficult to deal with the general small soldiers, so although he was in the enemy formation, there was no danger for a while.

The Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang Army, which was scattered, were all crazy. These cavalry frantically rushed the surrounding enemy, hoping to find their commander, a general named Qiu Xinggong was lucky to see Li Shimin, immediately shouted and rushed up, killed the enemy who was besieging Li Shimin, and then gave his mount to Li Shimin, dismounted and fought on foot, Li Shimin was able to break out of the encirclement and return to his own position.

The charge failed. Li Shimin had a clearer understanding of the combat strength of Wang Shichong's troops, he did not have the slightest rest, and immediately climbed the nearby high ground, condescendingly looking for loopholes in Wang Shichong's army, on the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides are still desperate, however, as time goes by. The two warring sides still involuntarily gradually showed fatigue!

Li Shimin keenly discovered. The opportunity to charge again came, so this time, he still did not hesitate at all, leading the Xuanjia cavalry reserve force left behind him, and Li Shimin once again rushed into the enemy formation. And this time, no one could stop him. This time. Li Shimin finally fought hard and successfully killed Wang Shichong's army.

Wang Shichong's army is worthy of being the most elite army in the world, and after being torn apart by the cavalry led by Li Shimin, there was no collapse of the military formation, but they desperately gathered towards the center. Vainly trying to restore the torn military formation as before, and now the elite army, Li Shimin's heart is also greatly admired, and then, he turned the horse's head, and once again pounced fiercely, Li Shimin has always believed that in order to show respect for the powerful opponent, the best way is to go all out and never leave a hand. Therefore, he did not hesitate to tear apart the opponent's military formation again......

The fierce battle was killed from early morning to afternoon, Wang Shichong's army was finally unable to resist Li Shimin's fierce offensive, and began to retreat towards the city of Luoyang, Li Shimin bit the other party's tail to the death, not letting the opponent's army all enter the city, and finally, the captured Wang Shichong's army reached as many as 5,000 people, and Wang Shichong was also greatly injured after this battle, and never dared to go out of the city again, but could only sit in the lonely city, waiting for the rescue of Dou Jiande in Hebei.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, stopped the assault on this fortified city after the defeat in the first siege battle, and then, Li Shimin mobilized a large army to besiege the entire eastern capital Luoyang, and carried out earthwork and built tight fortifications to prevent Wang Shichong in Luoyang City from leading his army to break through. Li Shimin clearly knew that from then on, the battle of Luoyang entered a new situation, although Luoyang Jiancheng was eager to take over, but Wang Shichong in Yangcheng was no longer worried, and a new powerful enemy was on the way.

So, just two years after Li Mi's siege of Luoyang was lifted, Li Shimin once again besieged Luoyang, and at this time, Wang Shichong, who had defeated Li Mi in the past, was at the end of his rope, and naturally, he could no longer bring miracles to the city. As a result, the darkest night belonging to the bustling city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, came.

As early as when Li Mi's soldiers besieged Luoyang, Luoyang's supplies had been scarce to an extremely strict point, and it is recorded that at the most difficult time, the city "burned silk for wages!" "Silk is silk, it is a precious cloth, and at that time it played an important role as a general equivalent, a symbol of wealth, and the city had to burn silk to keep warm, which undoubtedly shows that the city was extremely scarce at that time.

And now, the Tang army has once again besieged the city, and the city, which is far from recovering its vitality, has once again suffered heavy losses, and even caused a tragedy, far beyond the time when Li Mi besieged Luoyang!

As the commander of the Tang Army, Li Shimin of course knew that due to the blockade policy that the Tang Army had been implementing, as early as when the Tang Army had not yet implemented a comprehensive blockade of Luoyang, the city of Luoyang had fallen into a situation of lack of materials as if it had been besieged by Li Mi in the past.

In this regard, Li Shimin also has no way, because if he does not completely surround Luoyang, it means that he will open up to Wang Shichong's army, and at this critical moment when the new enemy is coming, the mercy to the enemy is cruelty to himself, Li Shimin may be unbearable, however, for the sake of the lives of the soldiers under his command, he must also be ruthless to sacrifice the lives of those innocent residents in the city.

Countless heroes and heroes gathered under Li Shimin's command, they admired Li Shimin, and vowed to follow him forever, because he had made a promise to sweep away the universe and restore the world to its original peace, and for this purpose, countless people fought bloody battles with Li Shimin, many of them even sacrificed their lives, but their dedication to that wish has never changed. In fact, although Li Shimin had already won a phased victory in attacking Luoyang at this time, he clearly knew that in fact, he, like Wang Shichong, had no way to retreat in this war.

After all, he, Li Shimin, is just a mortal, and he can't save everyone, but can only save himself.

Three months later, when Li Shimin brought a great victory over the Xia army and captured the power of the enemy commander Xia King Dou Jiande, and then took advantage of the victory to come to Luoyang City, and successfully forced Wang Shichong to surrender, the Tang army drove into Luoyang and counted the population, only to finally find that the original 30,000 households in the city were only 3,000 at this time, and the other residents were all dying of hunger and freezing during this period of siege!! (To be continued......)
