Seeing that Li Gu was loyal to his duties before, self-denial and dedication, and did not cause too many losses, Lu Rong did not condemn him, but ordered Li Wenzhao to be reappointed as the capital of the former military camp in Huainan, and Li Gu changed the sentence to Shouzhou Prefecture to be responsible for related matters.

Outside the city of Shouzhou was filled with shouts and killings, and the noisy shouts came and went, and the soldiers shouted loudly to boost their courage and try their best to use their potential. The moat under Shouzhou City has been filled by the people, but Shouzhou has not lost the slightest momentum. The soldiers defending the city of the Southern Tang Dynasty were firmly nailed to the head of the city in an orderly and calm manner, and from time to time there were arrows shot out, shooting the incoming enemy, and there were gold juice stones and rolling logs, beckoning the Wei soldiers who braved the rain of arrows and finally pushed the ladder to attack the city.

The magnificent battlefield, countless people and Wei soldiers, like ants, from all sides of Shouzhou City, rushed up. Black smoke billowed from the battlefield, and the rockets ignited flammable cloth and wooden blocks, and after they were extinguished, there were small pungent black gases. The trebuchet was put into use all the time, and the heavy stones smashed on the city wall that had been thickened by the Southern Tang Army, and under the fierce attack of the Wei army like a tide, Shouzhou City was like a reef in the waves, standing tall!

"Click", several catapults, crunching sounds, but unable to throw the stones, due to the high-intensity operation, the catapults are heavily loaded, have been damaged, and cannot be used for the time being.

Everywhere there were wounded soldiers carrying corpses or seriously wounded soldiers who could not fight, and people were screaming and wailing in pain, as if they had entered hell on earth.

Emperor Lu Rong of Wei pressed his sword and looked around, looking at the city surrounded by water, densely packed with people from all directions or pushing ladders, or pushing rushing carts, and digging tunnels under the city to damage the foundation of the city......

However, there has not been much progress, and Shouzhou is still standing.

At this time, a month has passed, Wei from Songzhou, Haozhou, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, Caizhou and other places successively crossed the Huai River from pontoons, plus the local towns and towns, a total of hundreds of thousands of horses, to Shouzhou siege on all sides, there is no great success, the casualties are not small, but the achievements are very small.

Looking at Shouzhou in the distance, which was shrouded in smoke, at this time, it was like a peerless beast devouring everything in the world, devouring the life of a famous Wei person.

Even if it was such a tragic battle, he could never shake Lu Rong's established plan, his determination was as firm as a rock, he participated in the battle when he was a teenager, and he had experienced many bloody and tragic battles, and he was used to it.

He was not born as a noble prince, his father, Emperor Taizu, who established the Great Wei Dynasty, was just a small soldier in the army when he was young. Lu Rong's family background was not good when he was a child, and his father had not yet developed at that time, so during that time, he also lived a life of poverty and poverty, and later his son inherited his father's business, and also enlisted in the army, knowing how to fight, which is not uncommon in this era.

The poor life in his childhood made him know how to cherish the current rich and respected life, the change of dynasty, and the experience of endless wars, urging him that the crisis is not far away, and the current position is not solid, and there are strong enemies in the Quartet to watch and covet the land of the Central Plains.

Men don't show their ambitions, and they are born with an eight-foot body!

Not only these, but if a man is alive, if he doesn't establish a career, won't he come to this world in vain! In this era of ups and downs, isn't it necessary to have a male lord to end this chaotic world, reorganize the mountains and rivers, and return a peaceful world to China!

It was almost dusk, and the sky was burning red and half of the sky was red.

The soldiers beat the gongs and drums according to the order, and the troops were withdrawn.

The day-long assault gradually eased, and the Wei army retreated towards the outer fortifications as if the tide was receding.

Lu Rong was very unhappy at this time.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have not yet taken Shouzhou City! The defenders of the Southern Tang Dynasty were very sufficient, and various defensive means emerged in an endless stream, and the Wei army had exhausted almost all siege methods, but it had not yet been taken.

If the siege was so easy to fight, there would not be so many people who sent people to surrender first, and then moved troops if they couldn't. Siege warfare is not easy to fight, especially in military towns, and it requires a long and arduous effort, and short humans are really not tempered by the tall and heavy walls.

According to the initial strategic plan of the Wei army: first break through the middle of the Huai River, that is, quickly capture the surrounding areas and clear the surrounding threats; After having Shouzhou as a stronghold, it was used as the source of war, breaking through the Qingliu Pass in the southeast direction, and capturing Chuzhou (now Anhui) and Jiangdufu (now Yangzhou), the eastern capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Breaking through the middle road, dividing the Huaihe Plain into two, capturing Jiangdu, the front of the army pointed directly at the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, losing the center of Jiangdu, and other Tang cities north of the Yangtze River fell into the range of the Wei army's troops, and the Wei army was not allowed to take it.

It's a pity that Shouzhou hasn't been defeated yet, and the original strategic goals have not been completed, which really makes Lu Rong worried. The Wei army surrounded Shouzhou with hundreds of thousands of people, and the daily consumption of grain was extremely huge, if it was not taken, wouldn't it be an empty drain on the treasury, and no benefits were obtained in vain.

The Southern Tang Kingdom was rich, and Shouzhou was an important town in Huainan, and it must have stored a lot of grain, so it was consumed, and the most unfavorable was the Wei State, and it was self-evident who consumed more by hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people.

At this time, all kinds of noises on the battlefield, such as shouts of killing and the sound of stray arrows breaking through the air, had subsided, and were replaced by squirming utensils to make fires and make meals, and puffs of cooking smoke gradually rose from the camp.

Lu Rong is already a little tired at the moment, even if he is an emperor, it is not iron-clad, he is also an ordinary mortal, the Huainan war, the forbidden army of various ministries, and the towns of Jiezhen, like snowflakes into his line, he does it himself, and he does not dare to slack off.

There is an unwavering faith.

This is a dream he has had for many years, but he has been suppressing it and can only recall it in his dreams.

But when he unexpectedly took over the throne, this dream could finally be dignified and not have to be buried in the bottom of his heart!

Since he is an emperor, he must be a first-class emperor, he must complete the great cause of unifying the world like the first emperor of Qin, and let the people of the four directions live and work in peace and contentment, like Emperor Wudi of Han, destroy the northern barbarians who covet China like a wolf, and build a new empire that surpasses the Han and Tang dynasties and is incomparably prosperous, so that thousands of years later, the world will still remember the great achievements and miss the incomparably brilliant prosperous China, and the Chinese of thousands of generations will praise his great cause and thank him for his grace to the next generation!
