The soldiers are fast, to put it in layman's terms, slowly, and they can't catch up with a mouthful of hot.

And the eldest brother has always done things quickly...... When he came to Luoyang like a whirlwind of Liangzhou's private soldiers, Li Ran always felt that this guy was not hanging.

Forced to march every day but maintain combat effectiveness, born a military god, a proper son of the plane.

The elite division of 8,000 people made his morale rise to the peak in an instant.

The overwhelming cheers had already reached the city, and Wu Sansi hid on the city wall, looking at this armed force with a killing spirit overflowing, his face could pinch bitter water.

He regretted it a little, he had known that Li Xian's counterattack was so fast, he should have cut through the chaos quickly and forced the ministers to recognize him as emperor.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and after a short break, the siege is once again on the agenda.

This time, it's real.

Li Ran generously relinquished the command of the army, and when it comes to fighting, the eldest brother is a professional.

"Dad, Lord Zhang, Brother Ran, the garrison in the city is about 40,000 people, and we are less than 10,000, and we don't occupy the geographical advantage, so it is very unfavorable to forcibly attack."

At the military council, Li Chongrun carefully analyzed the pros and cons of both sides.

Fighting is certain, but how to fight must be carefully discussed, and his style of employing soldiers is cautious and bold, and there is nothing to find fault with.

"Therefore, when attacking the city, the main thing is to hit the morale of the rebels, they are not right, and the fighting spirit is not high, once the battle situation is unfavorable, there is no possibility of turning the tables, they will only surrender or disperse...... What do you think, Brother Ran? ”

Li Chongrun looked around at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Ran's face.

"Feel free for you, I'm okay with that."

Li Ran smiled and shook his head.

He knew that his eldest brother didn't need a staff officer, but he was just in charge of the military for the first time, and it was difficult to convince the public.

And you are the best help.

“…… Well, let me say two words, we don't need to completely wipe out these rebels, they are caught by King Liang, the rebellion is not the original intention, while fighting, you can try to surrender, maybe you can solve most of the battles without blood. ”

Of course, he trusts his eldest brother, which does not mean that Zhang Cambodia and other ministers also obey unconditionally, seeing that these old people have to let themselves give advice, he smiled helplessly and added two sentences.

"Yes, what Brother Ran said is right."

Li Chongrun smiled, accepted it all, and looked around at everyone again, "If you have no other opinions, in two hours, I will lead the team to attack the city." ”

Wear a strong and stubborn leader.

Young people are strong in blood, or in other words, Li Chongrun must lead by example...... If he commanded in the rear, could he still expect his men to fight to the death in the face of enemies several times his size and tall walls?

Therefore, even Li Xian did not stop his son from rushing to the front line.

This siege battle will also be the battle of the eldest brother's Liwei...... He has been out of the courtiers' sight for a long time, and it's time to turn into a popular fried chicken.

"Da Lang, my brother won't be in danger, right?"

Xian Hui'er watched the charging team line up, so worried that her lips turned white, and she grabbed Li Ran's arm tightly, "Let's go help together." ”

“…… No, you don't. ”

Li Ran smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.

"He needs credit, he needs the approval of the courtiers, if I go to help, Zhang Cambodia will take it for granted that most of the credit will be attributed to me, the immortal master, which is not fair to the eldest brother."

The subtext is very clear, prestige is built up little by little with practical actions, if Li Ran does not have the record of playing King Liang five times, how can he gain the unconditional trust of Zhang Cambodia and others?

Li Chongrun not only wants to replicate his brilliant record, but also has to win.

After all, he will be the prince of the iron plate in the future, and he will be the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with such a prominent future, how can he do it without a little pressure.

Xian Hui'er was stunned, the man's world was much more complicated than she imagined.

The trumpet sounded, and the besieging army, which had long been ready to go, poured into the city walls like a tidal wave.

Li Chongrun's command ability is really professional enough.

He narrowed the distance between his soldiers, neutralized the advantage of the dense fire of the bed crossbow, and lined up the solid wooden shields side by side, forming a solid barrier.

At the same time, the flintlock pistols took the lead, so that the defenders on the city wall did not dare to take the lead.

The only drawback to the impeccable tactics is that only the minimum number of ladders were prepared in a hurry...... Raw materials are too scarce, and it is useless to have an advanced automatic processing workshop.

The two sides quickly faced each other, and the screams and fighting shook the entire Luoyang City.

After a full day of fighting from early morning to evening, Li Chongrun finally chose to withdraw his troops.

It is not defeat, but the preservation of vitality.

With fewer strikes and more strikes, he has always maintained the upper hand, and there is nothing to say about the level of command and combat effectiveness.

However, there are always some keyboard warriors who feel that it is a failure to take the city in one go...... Gradually, the complaints reached the ears of the higher-ups.

"Uncle, don't pay attention to those gossip."

Li Chongrun, who was patrolling at night, had a somewhat unsightly face, and Li Ran knew what he was saying, so he specially prepared a pot of good wine in the tent and invited him to have a drink.

“…… Well, I know it in my heart. ”

After the liquor was drunk, Li Chongrun's mood improved, and he smiled bitterly, "Brother Ran, you are still powerful, and King Liang has no temper at all." ”

"Anyway, I'm taking advantage of it, and I can't let that fight move the bones, if you really want to achieve a decisive result, you still have to be hard, this is your strength."

Li Ran shook his head, not humble, but telling the truth.

"Alas, I don't know the truth, but it's just ......"

"You want to win a beautiful battle."

Li Ran helped him add the unfinished words, and said with a smile, "Then wait for two more days, the reinforcements from the direction of Luling are almost here." ”

Li Chongrun's eyebrows suddenly became happy, and he shook his head again and said, "The strength of the Luling side is not enough to change the situation of the battle. ”

"It's not the troops, it's my engineering team."

Li Ran smiled mysteriously and decided to tell his eldest brother what is the art of war, and the key point for the engineering army to determine the battle situation.

In Luoyang City, there is a lot of uneasiness and suspicion.

Wu Sansi held back an evil fire, and it was not pleasing to anyone, and he had already slaughtered two domestic servants who had followed him for many years.

Obviously he has the advantage, why do those ministers who don't open their eyes, even the low-level officers of the Praetorian Guard, think that he is going to lose?

Leader temperament is really metaphysics.

No, you have to take the throne in your hands immediately, and then cook the raw rice to the finished rice.

Wu Sansi couldn't wait, since the hundred officials who used the text didn't accept the recruitment, then they would come hard and forcibly ascend the throne.

Early tomorrow morning, enter the palace to force Wu Zetian to let in!

After making up his mind, he slowly put on the dragon robe that had been prepared for a long time, and his mood gradually rose, fantasizing about the scenery of holding the jade seal.

Until a rush of footsteps broke the dream.

"Lord Wang, no, it's not good."

"What's the situation!"

Wu Sansi was so angry that his teeth itched, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.

"Li Xian's army outside the city is about to attack the city again."
