After Wang Shichong got Dou Jiande's reply, but seeing that the paper was full of perfunctory prevarications, he understood that this was a plan by Dou Jiande and the clam to fight for each other, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

But when he saw that Dou Jiande agreed to send troops, he still ignited the flame of hope. So he sent messengers to Dou Jiande for help five times and three times, after all, looking at the whole world, only Dou Jiande had the ability to save him.

Li Shimin knows very well that although Wang Shichong is trapped, his strength is still there. Once Dou Jiande sent troops to Luoyang, Wang Shichong would also desperately break through. At that time, the previous achievements will be lost, and the war will be far away.

Therefore, before Dou Jiande sent troops, he must take Luoyang City first!

After several attempts to persuade him to surrender to no avail, Li Shimin decided to attack the city again.

For a few days. The Tang army rushed to the city like ants, they drove the ladder, pushed the crash car, and stormed Luoyang City.

Li Shimin sat at the north gate and personally beat the drums to supervise the formation. The sound of drums shook the heavens and the earth.

The sword light and sword shadow, the fire and the wind were fierce, and the blood was splashed on the city, and the corpses were everywhere.

The remnants that fell in the corner of the wall have long been unable to distinguish between you and me. Tang Jun is earnest for his meritorious service and regards death as home; Zheng Jun resisted desperately and did not give an inch.

What a bad fight!

At the head of Luoyang City, rolling wood, stones, and arrows are raining down; The flying crossbows, flying stones, and artillery in front of the Tang army were as dense as flying locusts. Both sides were red-eyed and refused to give in.

In Luoyang City, there were flying stones and crossbows launched by the Tang Army everywhere. Vast swaths of houses were destroyed, streets were in tatters, and civilians and soldiers were hiding in Tibet, fearing that they would be killed by flying objects that didn't have long eyes.

After more than ten days of siege, both sides suffered damage. Piles of dead corpses emitted a disgusting stench from the midsummer heat, and mosquitoes and flies buzzed in, laying white maggots.

At night, herds of wild dogs come to the wilderness to gnaw on the remains of soldiers......

When the soldiers on both sides saw the bones of the robe in such a tragic state, they couldn't help but feel sad and had no intention of fighting.

Seeing this situation, the commanders of the two sides agreed to a two-day truce, clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses.

At night, Li Shimin raised his tent and convened the generals to discuss the war.

Du Ruhui, who joined the army in the record room, was the first to speak, and he said eagerly: "Your Highness, such a fierce attack is not a good strategy. Our army only needs to besiege the city, and when Luoyang City is completely out of food, it will not be attacked at that time! ”

Fang Xuanling, who joined the army in the recording room, echoed: "Your Highness, according to the minister's estimate, Luoyang City will run out of food in less than a month!" ”

Li Shimin was silent, his eyes glanced at the military generals' train, hoping that they would be able to speak.

The forward general Li Shiyun said: "Your Highness, Du Senjun and Fang Senjun are talking about the strategy of attacking the city. However, the last general believed that the morale of our army was strong, and it was afraid that only besieging and not attacking would hurt everyone's heart to make meritorious contributions. The last general suggested that our army is outnumbered, and the enemy is outnumbered. Our army can attack in three shifts, day and night. In this way, the enemy army will be exhausted, and the combat strength will be greatly damaged! ”

Li Shimin patted the case and said, "Good strategy! That's it......"

The generals also applauded this policy in unison.

In this way, not only can the casualties be reduced, but also the enemy can be consumed to the greatest extent.

A few days later, the defenders of Luoyang City gradually became unable to parry, and the destruction of the city seemed to be close at hand.

Wang Shichong had no choice but to transfer his last garrison army, the Jianghuai elite, to the city.

They brought 500 strong crossbow machines, the range was extremely long, and within 20 zhang, the Tang army could not get close at all. The Tang sergeant who rushed forward was shot to death by Wang Shichong's crossbow machine.

Li Shimin couldn't help but gasp. It seems that Wang Shichong is hiding his strength.

Li Shimin had to order a moratorium on the siege. The two sides entered a brief truce.
