The plague became a problem for the Tang generals, who were much less sick than the Tang soldiers.

The entire 120,000 Tang troops have been reduced to 80,000, more than 15,000 Tang troops have died in battle, and the remaining Tang troops have either died of illness or disease, and they have already lost their combat effectiveness, and it is very difficult to walk.

The Nanban tribe sent a total of 50,000 troops, but their situation was much better than that of the Tang army, after all, the environment here was only slightly worse than that of Yunguichuan, but it was still within the range of their adaptation.

Li Yuan blamed himself a little, he thought that he could be invincible and invincible if he drove the expedition himself, but he thought too much, how could war be so easy.

Defeat yourself not by overestimating the combat power of the enemy, but by a terrible plague.

There are dead people in colds, not to mention plagues.

Although he has the secret recipe in his hand, what can he do? It's just a downward downward adjustment in the mortality rate.

On the thirtieth day of the siege and occupation of the city, Li Yuan decided to overcome it in one fell swoop.

It was not that the city could not be defeated before, but it was just to consume the enemy's living force and carry out siege reinforcements.

Tens of thousands of Linyi army and Zhenla reinforcements were wiped out.

But patience is limited, and Champa is only a small nail in the coffin for the Indochina Peninsula.

80,000 Tang troops poured out of the nest, mighty and mighty, covering the sky and the sun. The giant shield in front of the road, the rushing car and the ladder followed, and there was a bomb throwing team composed of hundreds of strong men, while in the Chinese army, the dragon flag was fluttering, and the huge dragon chair looked very swaggering in the golden row.

Under the cover of Luo umbrella, Li Yuan quietly looked at the ruins and broken walls of the city, besieged the city for a month, the area of the city was reduced by more than half, their will to resist was very strong, the original city wall has been turned into gravel and dissipated, the new city wall is the wall of the house, the messy sandbags and stones are piled up at will, so that people can see the fragility of the city at a glance.

But in fact, it is difficult to conquer the city with one heart.

"Spread my will, take the head of the king of Linyi Kingdom, reward a thousand gold, and promote three grades in a row!" Li Yuan lightly promised.

Before the battle, the promise of a reward is enough for the soldier to fight the enemy.

Benefit without paying!

"Your Majesty has a will, whoever gets the head of the king of Linyi will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be promoted to three grades in a row!" The eunuch's shrill voice read.

The atmosphere of the entire Tang Army was invigorated, and the previous soft lying appearance became powerful again, and the words of the Emperor Taishang were fiercely taken as slogans and shouted back and forth.

They understand that this reward will most likely not come to their turn.

But there is another important reason.

After being promised, the knife will be sealed for three days after entering the city!

All the treasures, beauties, and slaves in the city will be theirs, and they will be robbed as many as they want.

As the saying goes: a thief is like a comb, and a soldier is like a grate!

It means that the thieves and the plunderers are like combing with a comb, and there are survivors after that; Officers and soldiers plundered the people as if they were using bamboo grates, and then looted them.

How can thieves have officers and soldiers!

In ancient times, although fighting a war was a desperate job, as long as he won, he jumped directly from a poor middle peasant to a small landlord after entering the city.

The slogan of fake big empty who cares about you is the real benefit.

The human heart has never been ancient!

The shield soldiers resisted the rain of arrows, and then split several gaps, exposing the ladder and hanging hooks on the city wall, and the Tang soldiers rushed up one by one like hungry wolves.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom who occupy the city are no longer the same as before, they are all yellow and thin, and they are living a miserable life.

After a month of siege, the 300,000 people who occupied the city consumed too much food, and the granary could not support it at all.

A careful Tang army will find that many of the soldiers of Linyi have become strong women, or gray-haired old men, or children who are not more than shoulders.

But the Tang army did not have the slightest mercy, and killed those who should be killed directly, leaving women and children, and suddenly there was a river of blood on the city wall.

The hungry soldiers of Lin Yiguo were like lambs, how could they resist the killing from the Tang army.

In the face of all this, it seems to be an inhumane "massacre". Li Yuan didn't stop it, "Fusion must mean sacrifice, all the soldiers of Linyi Country may not deserve to die, maybe they are good people, they have defended their hometown, maybe they are heroes."

But for the aggressor, being a hero often means difficult.

"Prince, run away, take advantage of the current Tang army process, flee to Zhenla country, and then take the opportunity to restore the country." The guard pleaded.

Abe also looked at his father and mother, and sorrow came from it, "Damn Tang thief, destroy my home, I, Abe will always be inseparable from Tang thief!" ”

"Wang'er, the widow can't go, although the Tang army conquered the city, but it will never be able to conquer the people of the city, my royal family has been gracious to the people for several generations, how can the Tang army be subverted?

The Tang army is so arrogant, there will be a day of failure, and Wang'er, after you leave the Linyi Kingdom, you will use the soldiers of the Zhenla Kingdom to fight against the Tang thieves, and gradually recover the land of our country, but be careful of the ....... of the Zhenla Kingdom" The king of the Linyi Kingdom sighed.

The entire army of the Champa Linyi State was defeated, and was directly captured by the Tang army and pressed in the prisoner of war camp, and in the city of Zhancheng, the other side of the Tang army was revealed.

A group of Tang troops were assigned to the territory, and then went door to door to search for hidden soldiers, and when they met a beautiful woman, they were directly robbed by soldiers, and there was a feeling of being a lady of the village.

This is their concubine on the march, but this privilege is only available to the brigade commander who is in charge of a hundred men.

Of course, this is not bad, some Tang Jun who were born as rangers directly used knives to kill people for money, and robbed other people's wives and daughters, which was extremely vicious.

But the Tang army turned a blind eye to this and didn't care.

Tang Jun really needs to vent, they have been away from home for more than three months, and they have experienced the gradual death of their comrades-in-arms.

Into the night, in the big tent.

Li Yuan cut a piece of cooked mutton with a knife, dipped it in the seasoning, chewed it and swallowed it slowly for a while, and then said: "Xiaogong, this Zhancheng has finally been defeated, I really said that after you beat it, Zhancheng can be your fief, but the fief is smaller than the prince and princess."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Li Xiaogong's eyebrows were full of joy.

That's a Ripper Knight!

As the capital of Linyi State, there are more than 300,000 people in Zhancheng, second only to Chang'an, Luoyang, Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yizhou and other cities in the Central Plains.

And his fief is not just a place to occupy the city, according to what the Emperor Taishang said, at least he will be given a general territory.

"You're welcome, filial piety has been fighting with me for many years, and I have the merit of the dragon, this knighthood is just a small meaning, and occupying the city is just the first step in sealing the land, I said, half of the Linyi country is yours!

But before that, you have to conquer the entire territory of Linyi first!

Can you do it? Li Yuan smiled slightly.

The kings of Linyi have fallen, and it is only a matter of time before the rest of the lands are located!
