When the soldiers are in the city, it is absolutely impossible to make the other party compromise with a few words.

The reason why the two sides still have to quarrel is that they are completely fighting for a breath, this tone is related to momentum, and they can't lose, even if they lose, they can't lose too badly.

In the face of Empress Tang, Ximen Zhensen didn't have a very good way, a six-month-old mother personally went to the city to lead the people to defend the city, and she had occupied the commanding heights of Hande and could not be surpassed.

"Use the people to defend the city, hahahahaha, thanks to her Cao Fa, she can figure it out, line up eight branches, and surround me with the eight gates of Luoyang." Simon Mainsen returned to the tent and issued military orders.

"And when are we going to attack the city?" Simon Lang asked.

"There's no hurry." Ximen Zhensen said: "The Tiger Ben Army has been running all the way, and has not yet rested, it is really tired, and it is not too late to take a day off today, and it is not too late to fight tomorrow." I am sure that no one in the city will dare to break out and die. ”

Hearing this, Ximen Kun suddenly said: "Father, in my opinion, we shouldn't block all eight city gates, it's better to leave one or two openings for him to run, now Ximen Kuo has gone to block Tongguan, and they can't run out." Let's expand the encirclement to be more beneficial to the battle. If we completely blockade the city, it will be easy to force the military and people in the city to become united, and taking the initiative to make a hole is actually venting the anger of the soldiers and people in the city. ”

Hearing this, Ximen Zhensen said: "Of course I understand the truth of your words, but you seem to have forgotten that there is a special passage out of the city in the inner city of the palace in the northwest corner, and I deliberately let go there, which is enough." If the people in the city are in a hurry and force their way out of the imperial city, guess what kind of scene it is? ”

Ximen Kun said: "I'm afraid that ordinary people don't know this road." ”

Simon Mamori laughed and said, "I have already laid a hundred dead soldiers in the city, and they know that my soldiers are coming to the city, and they will inevitably stir up the people and make a way for the people. She will use the people, but I, Simon Zhensen, will not use it? The difference between fighting Luoyang and fighting other cities is that there are too many people here, and the so-called people who win the hearts of the people are under it, in fact, it is just a pretended moral law, in my opinion, who will use the people, who can get it. It's just that these words can't be said directly to those stupid people, hahahahaha! Set up good laws and morals for them to obey. ”

The old thief of Ximen laughed wildly, pulled 100,000 troops away, and besieged Luoyang City.

At this time, he never expected that Ximen Kuo, who was sent to Tongguan, was suddenly attacked by a group of strange soldiers.

Tang Yuan hid in the mountains west of Luoyang City, and when he saw Ximen Kuo leading his troops westward, he knew that his goal must be Tongguan.

Tongguan must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise Ximen Kuo will guard Tongguan, and Tang Xiao and Lin Chongyang will not be able to pass even if they have great ability.

The Tongguan Pass was so strong that it was like an iron bucket, and 20,000 people were determined to defend the city, and it was impossible to take it without the 100,000 army attacking in turn for more than ten days.

"Simon must not be allowed to succeed." Tang Yuan pointed his spear: "Intercept and kill Ximen Kuo!" ”

You can't let the battlefield be too close to Luoyang, if it is too close, the news will quickly reach the ears of Ximen Zhensen, and it will be a big trouble.

Now that Luoyang Baguan has no soldiers, it has become a burden, and the whole Luoyang seems to have become a big king Ba, being held back in the Baguan, Tang Yuan can't be defeated, otherwise there is no way to retreat at all. If you are surrounded by Simon Masen, there is only one way to die.

Therefore, the battlefield to kill Ximen Kuo must be located west of Hongnong City, and the closer to Tongguan, the better.

The two teams were one after the other, just after Hongnong, Tang Yuan personally led three thousand cavalry to catch up with Ximen Kuo's rear team, and a battle of 12,000 against 20,000 Rao started in an instant.

——

On the battlefield of Jingzhou, the battle situation is still hot.

Anxiously entangled, neither side wants to withdraw troops.

Even if the handsome Tang Xiao is anxious.

You must know that at this time, the Tang family is always in Luoyang, if it is taken by Ximen Zhensen, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Pass my commander's order, order Zhang Pan, Li Liang, and Ni Ding to join forces and besiege Nanyang, we must speed up the progress!"

The main battlefield of Jingzhou has been fought from Jingbei to Nanyang City, but the enemy of Xiangcheng in Jingbei has not been cleared, and now Zhang Zhikui, Wan Lin, and Huang Ying are still blocking the crusade army grain road in the north, and it is Xiao Han of the Mozhou army who guards the grain road at this time.

Tang Xiao was anxious, and suddenly ordered the troops to advance to the south as a whole, he wanted to have a beheading operation, capture the thief and capture the king first, at this time Meng Zong had already fled to Xiangyang City, and let Hong Mingshan defend Nanyang.

Seeing Tang Xiao's anxious appearance, Director Jun Min Yue waved his hand: "Don't mess up Zilu." I know that you are concerned about Luoyang, and hope to finish the battle in Jingzhou as soon as possible and retreat back to Beijing, but you can also see clearly the arrangement of the enemy army, Meng Zong is now deliberately entangled at both ends, just to drag us down with this method of torn pants and legs. He knew that once Simon Mason won, his hope would come. And you have to remember that we can't afford to lose. If we win, this army will be retained, and Simon Mason will definitely be afraid of it, so he will not kill the royal family and the Tang family, and we will still have a chance to negotiate in the future. My Min Yue family is also in Luoyang, and I can't wait to go back, but we can't do that. Now that we have stretched the battle line too long, and the enemy army has adopted the strategic policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, even if we win the battle, we will not be able to capture the grain, and once the grain route is blocked, the whole army will inevitably be defeated. Now Ma Bufang is contacting the national festival envoys and making every effort to serve the emperor, we must believe that the prestige of the emperor is still there, and the qi of the Great Liang Dynasty is still there. Zhang Panxin reorganized the Second Division, and his combat strength was still too weak, so don't let him fight Nanyang, it is better to go north to help Xiao Han and solve the dilemma on the battlefield in Xiangcheng as soon as possible. This also made Xiao Han feel that we also cared about him very much, otherwise there would be suspicion of disgust, which would be detrimental to the morale of the army. ”

"If Zhang Pan doesn't go, then with only Li Liang and Ni Ding's 20,000 people, there is no hope of fighting Nanjun." Tang Xiao frowned.

Min Yue smiled: "I see that your heart is already a little messy, why don't you hand over Shuai Yin Fuhu to me temporarily, and you will personally lead the troops to attack Nanyang, how about it?" ”

handed over the troops to Min Yue, Tang Xiao was still relieved.

Everyone, the overseers in the army are here to make trouble for the marshal, such as Huo Zizhen and Zhao Guangda during the Northern Expedition, the two of them often quarrel with red faces, but this incident has never happened in the war against thieves.

Tang Xiao respects the old supervisor Min very much, and the old marshal also supports the Tang marshal who has just been established.

Min Yue is different from Zhao Guangda, Zhao Guangda is a typical representative of the imperial power faction, with great power, but his ability is really average, he attaches great importance to the rules and regulations, and is not flexible enough, but the old handsome Min Yue has been in battle for a long time, and has been in the Western Regions for forty years, which is a great figure.

Tang Xiao smiled, "I have this intention, then I will bother the old man to sit in the Chinese army." ”
