Li Po was still mobilizing troops to the river, and his determination to cross the river was becoming more and more firm.

In other words, once the river is crossed, all actions require firm determination and will, which is what Li Po requires of the generals who are preparing to cross the river, or even himself.

Just like when Li Shimin led his troops to rescue Pusaka, he almost spared no effort when he stormed the beachhead, which was not stupid, but an inevitable choice to fight in a narrow place.

And resolute does not mean a certain victory, when defeated, the more determined the person loses, but if you don't take such a risk, how can you reap the gratifying fruits?

So in the next few days, when Li Po discussed the military with the generals, the final resolution was full of offensive spirit.

All kinds of accidents are inevitable, such as Niu Jinda and Shen Qingnu making mistakes, or the two of them are fraudulently surrendering, etc., because after all, they are different from Zhang Shigui, and these must be taken into account.

Once the army begins to cross the river, it will not stop easily, and when it encounters setbacks, it must move forward bravely and open the way for the follow-up army until the whole army converges on the south bank of the Yellow River, and at that time, the army will also have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army.

Everyone calculated, it will take about a day to two days for the whole army to cross the river, because it is very difficult for war horses to cross the river, and the Yellow River is still in the rising period at this time, so it is very difficult to estimate this time.

If you count the grain and grass, then the time will be long, and the grain and grass of tens of thousands of people will not be able to survive in ten days and a half months.

For such a long time, if the Tang army came to attack, it would only be able to fight with the Tang army.

Speaking of which, the generals were a little dizzy when they looked at the Yellow River passing by, but they said that there was no problem with fighting with the Tang Army, obviously they had confidence in fighting the Tang Army, which is a good thing, in today's words, that is, morale is available.

There is no doubt that the most reliable is the cavalry, the strategic goal is to suppress the Tang army in Tongguan, not to attack the Tongguan fortress, so it is still to take the field first, and the cavalry is a sharp weapon in the field, especially the Daizhou cavalry.

Moreover, the Fengling Ferry is too close to Tongguan, so it will be a very bad situation to consider that the Tang army in Tongguan is marching step by step and forcing their army to fight a decisive battle at Fengling Ferry.

If that's the case, after Wang Shichong, it will be Li Po's turn to be the boss of the injustice, the two families are fighting, everyone is watching, regardless of victory or defeat, just in terms of strategy, the Jindi army is also at a disadvantage.

Li Po felt that this possibility was not very likely, Wang Shichong should be able to survive for a while, if he wanted to come to Liang Shidu, Li Liang should also make a move, the northwest war is together, and the defenders of Tongguan still dare to go out of the customs to fight?

In terms of Li Jiancheng's current character, leading characteristics, and even strategic literacy, it means that it is unlikely that the Tang Army will get entangled with himself when he goes out.

And as long as he is given plenty of time, then he can completely hold on to Hongnong and the Tang army in Tongguan, instead of holding on to the Fengling Ferry.

Of course, these are all speculations, and this time there are many more things to consider than previous strategic deployments, and the situation is very complicated......

Li Po finally realized at this time that this was an opportunity for him to get out of Jindi, and he had been in Jindi for more than ten years, and it was finally time for him to step out, so difficulties were inevitable.

But war is like this, no war is completely sure in advance, and forward-looking speculation about the war is also an indispensable part of war.

If you guess wrong, you will have to pay a certain price, but you can't lose the fighter because of this, and the more complicated the situation, the more it can reflect the ability and luck of the person who commands the troops.

Li Po consciously ...... It's okay......

Even if the worst happens, there is nothing to say, it's just a battle, maybe he can lead his troops to rush into Tongguan in one fell swoop.

That way, it's a lot of fun......

…………………………

Of course, now the biggest fun is Wang Shichong, the Henan army has undoubtedly been a tiger riding a difficult trend, after killing the left Wuwei general Guo Ju in front of the battle, Wang Shichong's emperor frame never left the front of the battle.

After a calm day, Wang Shichong once again urged the generals to attack the city.

Most of the Henan army, which lacked food and clothing, still maintained the true character of the righteous army, and Wang Shichong and his subordinates did not have the effort to reorganize the army, so except for those troops that were transformed from the official army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the others were all messy.

Everyone knows that such a military team sheds the most blood in wartime, and it also bleeds the fastest, but their blood is the same as that of others, it is bright red and dazzling.

The horn of the attack sounded, and a group of ragged soldiers rushed to the Tongguan wall in despair like cattle and sheep being driven, and then became a strangely shaped corpse lying there, letting their blood flow out.

The scorching sun was scorching, the corpses were like mountains, and the pungent smell of blood became stronger and stronger as the battlefield rose into the sky and never stopped shouting and killing.

In everyone's sight, it seemed that they were gradually turning red, and a crazy and stupid war of attrition completely turned Tongguan into a flesh slaughterhouse.

Here, the high and low are distinct, and the layers are clear, but as long as you lie down, then everyone will be equal, and those who want to lead troops to cut off the head of the king of Hades must be completely killed.

Every evening, there will be thick black smoke up and down Tongguan, the pungent smell, permeating the left and near Tongguan, stinking and burning, and the scene of flesh and blood flying, disgusting and terrifying.

In the past two years, such wars have become less and less common.

Wang Shichong struck a blow with all his might, and gradually exhausted his few vitality under Tongguan, and the Tang army guarding the pass was actually complaining at this time.

Li Jiancheng, the crown prince sitting in Guanzhong, listened to the casualty figures counted by his subordinates every day, and gradually began to be frightened, and he was secretly glad in his heart, with a fortified fortress like Tongguan, the casualties were still so large, if he fought with Wang Shichong in the field......

Well, there is nothing to say about such a blessing, it is more like finding a good reason for your own decision, field warfare and defending the city are two completely different strategies.

Generally speaking, the field competition is the courage and courage of the commanders, as well as the morale of the soldiers, whether they are elite or not, etc., and there are also many advantages and disadvantages to defend the city, but the most important thing is the problem of patience and endurance.

Of course, these are of no longer meaningful to Li Jiancheng, he chose to stick to the fortified city, so in front of Wang Shichong's more than 200,000 troops, he has temporarily lost the initiative in this war.

And the Tongguan fortress also ensured that the Tang army could preserve its strength to the greatest extent and kill a large number of enemies, if you change the opponent, it is possible that the casualties of the Tang army will not be too large.

But now that Wang Shichong has gone crazy, then he has also become the most terrible opponent of the Tang army now, and Wang Shichong does not care about how many casualties he has inflicted on the defenders of Tongguan.

In half a month, Wang Shichong has created a miracle that is not small, and has been continuously maintaining a high-intensity offensive against Tongguan, with nearly 50,000 casualties under Tongguan.

Thick smoke billowed out, enveloping Tongguan in the entirety, during which there were two light rains, which did not make this place more refreshing, but really reflected the scene of a river of blood.

The rain was red with blood, flowing wantonly under Tongguan, and after the ground dried up the next day, the entire Tongguan city and the city wall were a light red color, looking like a layer of dye.

The Henan army suffered heavy casualties, and the Tang army, which had been confident before, was also exhausted, with nearly 10,000 casualties, which not only made the defenders gradually frightened, but also made the solid Tongguan begin to shake slightly.

If the Henan army is united, it is likely that Tongguan will open its doors to them at some point in the future......

But there is no such thing as a war and no army can withstand nearly a quarter of the casualties and still maintain morale, let alone a patchwork army like Wang Shichong.

The right Tunwei general, Guanglu doctor Meng Rang was killed in the battle by his nephew, in a fit of rage, the overseer attacked Tongguan and died of an arrow, the right Yiwei general Zhang Sheng was seriously injured and returned, and Zheng Qianxiang, the general of the Standing Palace, was killed by Wang Shichong because of the unfavorable siege of the city......

Under Tongguan, Li Mi's old department quickly withered away, and the survivors were panicked.

And Wang Shichong was still looking around with unfinished thoughts, and the blood-red blade that had been dyed was still not sheathed, which made people frightened.

At this time, what is even more terrifying is that the army is gradually running out of food and grass......

The last straw that broke the camel's back came from above Tongguan, Li Jiancheng, who had begun to be unable to bear the casualties, appeared at the juncture with the newly descended Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong, and the two particularly thick-skinned rebels shouted at the juncture, letting everyone descend early.

As a result, the offensive of the Henan army came to an abrupt end, and it was strangely calm for more than an hour, just like pouring boiling oil into cold water, and with a bang, the army exploded.

It's a dramatic scene that no one can imagine without witnessing it.

The chaos began with Wu Heimin and Hao Xiaode, who had already prepared, united Yang Defang, Chen Shou and others, and waved their troops to attack Wang Shichong's car.

Wang Shichong, under the desperate protection of Chen Guogong Duan Da and others, rushed out of the chaotic army, returned to the overwhelmed rear army, and then ordered all units of the rear army to attack the front army, wanting to come to the front to quell the rebellion.

At this time, this war seems to have come to the high (anti-harmony) tide, under Tongguan, boiling against Yingtian, the various departments of the Henan army are fighting each other, compared to the previous attack on Tongguan Jiancheng is much more enthusiastic, and the whole Tang army that was still fighting to the death and shedding countless blood was thrown aside.

The contradictory Henan army finally collapsed at a critical moment, and the generals of the Tang Army who closed the gates, from the crown prince Li Jiancheng onwards, were all dumbfounded...... nt
