80,Chapter 13: The Final of Powers (5)
Dou Jiande not only did not anger others who left him to go to other families, but also gave people the money to take refuge, so that their families could have oxen and carts to sit on, have food to eat, and drink wine all the way. What a considerate and good master.
Such a people-oriented monarch, now receiving a distress letter from Wang Shichong, who has the same military power but a gap in character as him, he is a little messy.
Originally, he was sitting at home watching Tang Jun and Wang Shichong tear apart, ready to insert him again when he saw that the situation was in his favor. Now Wang Shichong came to the door to beg him to save his life, and he really wasn't mentally prepared for this. He naturally understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, Wang Shichong is almost beaten by the Tang Army now, Dou Jiande has to plan well for the interests of his side - with his people. Otherwise, Wang Shichong would be completely finished, and Li Tang's threat to him would be huge.
Wang Shichong must be rescued, but he just has to think of a way to save skillfully and maximize his benefits.
Wang Shichong resisted inside, and they attacked outside, and it was easy to defeat the Tang army. However, defeating the Tang army and preserving Wang Shichong is a strategy to maintain a three-point situation for a long time, so after defeating the Tang army, we must take the opportunity to destroy Wang Shichong. Then concentrate his and Wang Shichong's forces, take advantage of the defeat of the Tang army, attack westward, take Chang'an, and have the foundation to pacify the world.
- A good strategy that is hard to find through the ages.
Dou Jiande laughed out loud happily, this is a good idea that is crooked to the extreme.
With a happy mood, Dou Jiande wrote back to Wang Shichong, asking him to rest assured that he would save him.
However, Dou Jiande will not rescue him immediately, he will watch the fire from the other side, and when they are both defeated, he will reap the benefits.
Fortunately, Luoyang's defense ability is extremely strong, and when Dou Jiande has not yet sent troops to rescue, he can still resist it, so as not to be killed by the Tang army in seconds. Among the defense equipment of Luoyang, there were the most powerful weapons at that time, the cannon flying stone and the eight-bow crossbow machine.
What's new about the cannon flying stone? This thing can throw a 50-pound boulder at 200 paces, and it is extremely lethal.
"Arrows are like spokes, clusters are like giant axes, shoot 500 steps", this is the characteristic of the eight-bow crossbow machine, and it is a terrifying weapon.
Moreover, the troops defending the city were basically the Sui Dynasty Praetorian Guards, and the Xiaoguo Army was the team.
The weapons are excellent and the army is excellent, so Li Shimin has to put some effort into capturing Luoyang City.
Although the equipment and soldiers in Luoyang City are very bluffing, but if there is a shortage of food, everyone is hungry, everything will be in vain, and people will have no strength to do anything when they are hungry. Wang Shichong saw that the food in Luoyang City was almost gone, and decided to fight hard before running out of food, so that the miracle of defeating Li Mi last time could appear.
In the fourth year of Wude (621), Wang Shichong officially opened the city gate and fought with Li Shimin, a kid, he confidently hoped that this time Li Shimin would be beaten like Li Mi and fled in a hurry, if he could slaughter him with his own hands, it would be better! Before he wanted to make peace with him, the kid didn't give him any face, and said coquettishly that he wanted to get rid of him, and this time he had to give him some color to see, so that this stinky kid knew how good he was.
This time, Wang Shichong sent the same number of troops as he broke Li Mi back then, 20,000 horses...... Probably he thinks it's his lucky number. It is believed that this number will bring him good luck again.
