No matter how cruel and bloody the siege war is, but generally speaking, there is a relatively boring process, and most of the battles described by later generations with words such as magnificent waves and ups and downs have nothing to do with siege warfare.

In other words, the gains and losses of one city and one place may affect the overall situation of the war, but for future generations who already know the results, they must not be concerned about how much blood was shed in the siege war and what kind of process it has, but what kind of significance this war has for the overall war.

Their interests are also more willing to focus on the competition for the collapse of the world, and the process is better to be dramatic, such as putting up an empty city plan, making a counter-plan or something.

In fact, most sieges were less fancy, and most of the fruits of victory were red with blood.

Just like Yang Xuangan, Li Mi's attack on Luoyang was not as varied as Yang Guang's play under Liaodong City, although the result was the same.

Li Po is much stronger than them, killing Luo Yi, breaking Li Yuanji, defeating Li Shentong, every battle avoided the fortress of Jiancheng, a series of battles, on the whole, it is what later people are more willing to talk about.

And when he attacked Kasaka, he returned to the ordinary rhythm of war, and attacked strongly, and the outstanding thing is that the battle by the Pujin Bridge.

When Li Tang retreated to Guanxi, Li Po became honest, because he felt that he had led the army for many years and felt that there were fewer and fewer opportunities to create miracles.

Of course, for Li Tang, who has strong troops, the tactics are very right, just like after Li Po fell to Jinyang, Li Shimin's suggestion to Li Yuan was to use the strong city to consume Li Po's troops.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Li Shimin's tactics are undoubtedly very far-sighted, if that is the case, even if Li Tang loses, he will never allow Li Po to sweep through Jindi and threaten Kansai in such a short period of time.

And Wang Shichong bumped into the conservative Li Jiancheng, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would neither ride a horse and use himself as a scout, nor would he pick up a knife to appear at the juncture, so according to the laws of war, there would not be too many "interesting" accidents.

However, Zheng Jun, who was closed, was likely to have some accidents......

The boring and bloody siege battle began, and the Henan soldiers, who claimed to be able to fight, began to go all out in the midst of the emperor's severe reprimand.

A dense rain of arrows continued to rise above the city walls, stones thrown from cannons flew in the sky, and thick javelins shot from bed crossbows swept rampant under the city with a sharp roar.

At this time, the continuous screams were the theme song of the war, and the blood of the Henan soldiers flowed wantonly under the Tongguan, and soon spread to the city wall, and the rough city wall was smeared over and over again.

A day passed, Tongguan stood still, and the defenders easily thwarted the Zheng army's wave of offensives, and the Zheng army was like a tide hitting a strong embankment, and every contact was shattered, but it could not shake the embankment in the slightest.

At sunset, Zheng Jun finally reined in his soldiers, Hao Xiaode and Wu Heimin sent people to count the casualties, and in the case of reservations, the casualties were still large and frightened them, and nearly 5,000 soldiers lay on the battle formation, never to stand up again.

Their banners are rapidly dimming, and that's not all, the emperor's roar keeps coming from the Chinese army, and they are a little numb to words like incompetence.

Looking at the mottled Tongguan City under the sunset, the despair in the hearts of the two people became a little thicker, this is the first day......

After returning to the camp, the two got together and muttered in the simple camp tent, they didn't dare to go to the Chinese army to see the emperor, that irascible guy seemed to be a little more terrible than Yang Guang and Li Mi back then.

The emperor's tent was already full of heads, so that everyone who walked there felt that they were passing through the ghost gate, and who would be willing to go there if they were fucking full.

Wang Shichong's "understanding" did not summon them over, but only ordered someone to send them an order to pacify the soldiers and prepare for the next day's battle.

At the same time, the tired and resentful gazes of the generals and soldiers made the two of them sit on pins and needles, and their henchmen were muttering in their ears, if this continues, everyone will have no way to live.

What if there is no way to live? According to the way people think these days, it's anti-fucking......

Can the two armies be in front of the formation...... Both of them are people who have been in battle for a long time, and they both understand that doing so is tantamount to killing themselves, and it is not such a way to throw themselves into the enemy before the battle.

First of all, you have to be able to win the trust of people, in front of such a huge army, even if Li Jiancheng is willing to surrender and rebel, he will not open the door to them, put yourself in their shoes, what kind of generous (stupid) person can do it?

In fact, the two of them are not as smart as Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, and they can't even compare to Niu Jinda, and they have long lost the opportunity to choose.

Although they didn't go to the Chinese army, the news of the Chinese army could still reach their ears, no way, Wang Shichong turned his face and did a lot of ruthless things, if the subordinates couldn't find one or two people around the emperor to listen to the news, it would be extremely irresponsible for their own lives.

What made the two of them smile bitterly was that the emperor was discussing with his close ministers who would be the next unlucky ghost......

"It can't go on like this, can the virtuous brother deal with it?" Hao Xiaode drank wine and asked bitterly.

Wu Heimin is not much stronger than him, of course he wouldn't have a heart-to-heart with someone like Hao Xiaode on weekdays, but now, it's said again, it seems that the two of them have become grasshoppers on the same line, so they can only live and die together.

"What can I do? The Emperor wants us to die...... Hmph, if you personally lead the troops to attack the city tomorrow and die at the pass, it will be better for the sons and daughters to have a way to live. ”

Hao Xiaode was happy, raised his glass and said: "Then I want to give a glass to Brother Xian, a hero like Brother Xian is becoming less and less now." ”

Wu Heimin knew that what he said was the opposite, but he didn't want to be more serious, so he raised his glass and drank it all, and he came back with a full circle.

"I'm afraid that if I am willing to die, I will not be able to protect the lives of my sons, so I want to say...... I didn't offend the emperor or anything, why did I ......"

Hao Xiaode poured wine and said with a wry smile: "Don't guess the virtuous brother, you see that General Shan is still very important, and after a defeat, do you dare to come back to see the emperor?" We are all from Shandong, and if the emperor can trust us, then he will be called a ghost. ”

Wu Heimin thought about it, felt that what Hao Xiaode said was reasonable, and under the disgust in his heart, he said coldly: "In this way, the emperor was born in Guanxi, how many can he trust?" ”

Hao Xiaode slapped the table and said: "That's it, you see that the emperor is from Guanxi, and when he raised his army, he was in Jiangdu, and we Shandong, Hebei, and Henan are not bordered, but the big guys are all from these places, and today, if you don't send us to death, who can you send?" People are almost dead, maybe they can save some food and grass. ”

Chatting here, between the words of the two people, they became more and more unscrupulous, and they lost any awe of Wang Shichong.

After Hao Xiaode finished speaking, the two looked at each other, almost unanimously, and a chill rose in their hearts, because they both felt that they had found the key, the army was short of food and grass, and the more people died, the more the offensive of the army might last......

Well, although they think badly, it is not unreasonable.

Consciously found the key, then the idea of the two people immediately came, and the solution they came up with was very similar.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Heimin straightened his body, "If you want to say that, then attack the city...... Let's not be slippery, right? ”

Hao Xiaode understood in his heart, don't look at the casualties in today's siege, but most of them are recruits from all over the city, and the strength of the two people is actually very intact.

Wu Heimin's meaning Hao Xiaode is very clear, since the emperor wants to consume everyone's strength, then consume it to him, and wait until it's almost over, if you can make some contributions, that's the best, even if you can't, there is no way, we tried our best, find a few people to intercede in front of the emperor, this catastrophe may be avoided.

It's not enough to let the two of them die in the battle, in that case, hum, others are not stupid, which one dares to attack the city with all their might?

Maybe there is someone who is bold and daring, and he dares to turn around and bite back...... In fact, if it weren't for the integrity of the army, everyone had different thoughts, and no leader could convince the people, otherwise, the two of them might dare to turn back and confront the Chinese army now.

Hao Xiaode nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll leave the siege tomorrow to me, so that people can also see that our Shandong heroes are not incompetent." ”

The so-called Ci Bu is in charge of the army, which is particularly specific at this time, Wu Heimin's generosity and heroism before turned his head and was thrown behind by him, and now it shows an authentic warlord style.

After listening to what Hao Xiaode said, Wu Heimin immediately said treacherously in his heart, whoever goes all out first will naturally speak better in front of the emperor later, but Wu Heimin will not be too lazy to compete with Hao Xiaode.

Just like what they said before the battle formation, it doesn't make much sense to fight for this anymore, after this battle, no matter whether they win or lose, the two of them are tigers with more than half of their teeth pulled out, and it would be good to go back with one life saved.

On the contrary, Wu Heimin now sees Hao Xiaode as more and more pleasing to the eye, this Shandong Dakou has a lot of eyes, and he can also be ruthless, and he has to make friends like this.

If you say something crookedly for the sake of your subordinates, then it is called a different way and not conspiring with each other......

Hao Xiaode is also average, I feel that if this person in front of him can really do what he says, then he might as well make a deep friendship after that, everyone is seriously injured, and they should invoke each other, thinking that this person will not be like before, with an official and military shelf, and his eyes only look at the sky, right?
