Xu Maogong and Cheng Yanjin were both shocked, Li Shimin actually had this certainty?

Until now, not to mention Cheng Biting Jin, even Xu Maogong didn't see Li Shimin's real plan, his own soldiers were sent to death, how could Xiao Wenlong's army be buried with him?

Li Shimin didn't say it, Xu Maogong and Cheng Biting Jin walked away in disgrace, thinking in their hearts, let's wait until the day after tomorrow to see the situation, if it is really as Li Shimin said, then the blood of these soldiers is really not in vain.

With doubts and expectations, everyone spent the night.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin gave another order, asking Luo Tong to lead the army to attack the city again, and send the last 5,000 people to the guillotine.

To avoid Xiao Wenlong's suspicions, Li Shimin decided that the rest of the 130,000 troops would also go to cheer together, although they would not attack the city, but their role was not small.

Of course Luo Tong was unwilling, he was still hesitating how to persuade Li Shimin yesterday, but he didn't expect that now the order came again, which had reached the limit of what he could bear.

"Big brother, if you listen to me, you should take the order."

In the lobby, there were only Luo Yi and Luo Tong, as well as the soldiers who came to give orders.

Luo Daodao: "But this is too much. Isn't it enough that fifteen thousand people have died? ”

Luo Yi said: "Big brother, if you don't say that you are confused, why can't you see that the 20,000 people who are dying now are precisely to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiao Wenlong City, as I expected, within three days, Xiao Wenlong will be defeated." ”

"You mean, this is a ploy by the emperor?"

"yes."

Luo Daodao: "But the price is too great, 20,000 people, alas.... ”

Luo Yi persuaded: "Then why don't you want to think about it, if you send elite soldiers to attack the city normally, at the cost of sacrificing 20,000 people, you can attack Black Rock City, not counting the soldiers who have to fight with Xiao Wenlong after attacking the city, and you have to die a lot." ”

"And the emperor's plan will only kill 20,000 people, and it is a weak brigade, so he can completely wipe out Xiao Wenlong."

Luo Tong fell silent and wondered: "What kind of strategy is that, the third brother has already seen through it?" ”

"Sort of."

Luo Yi said: "Big brother, don't ask, listen to me, lead the troops to Black Rock City again..." ”

"Okay, then I'll trust you once."

didn't ask Luo Yi again, he still trusted Luo Yi, if he could really destroy Xiao Wenlong's army at the cost of 20,000 people, it would be worth it, as Luo Yi said, even if he didn't do this, tens of thousands of people would die in the siege, maybe more. Anyway, it's all about death, and you should focus on the overall situation.

After receiving the order, Luo Tong led the army to Black Rock City again.

The soldiers approached the city, Luo Tong took a closer look at the battlefield, outside the Black Rock City, there were already corpses all over the field, blood flowed like a river, people were heavy, and the accumulation was very high.

Oh my God, so many corpses...

In such an environment, how can we attack the city?

Luo Tong smiled bitterly, Xiao Wenlong didn't know how to clean up the battlefield, if he had to attack for a few more days, people would stink.

"General, do you really want to attack the city?"

"Your Majesty has a will, what can I do..."

Luo Daodao: "Pass the order, beat the drum challenge, and after the three-way drum, attack the city." ”

"Yes."

The lieutenant general answered, turned to give the order.

On the tower of the city, Xiao Wenlong said in surprise: "This Li Shimin is crazy, he came to attack the city again early in the morning, and he was not annoyed, until he couldn't beat it and came to die." ”

The brute bull laughed and said: "Marshal, this is not good, when they can't fight, let's go out again, by then, hehe... I won't leave any of them, I want to arrest Li Shimin back with my own hands, as well as Luo Tong and Cheng Yanjin. ”

Thinking of what happened in the valley a few days ago, the brute cow hated his teeth, and he didn't take revenge, and he swore not to be a man.

Xiao Wenlong said: "But I don't understand, this is not like the combat style of Li Shimin and Luo Tong, one loves the people like a son, and the other loves the soldiers like a son, but let the soldiers die like this one by one, besides, the Tang army is not so weak, it has been attacking for a whole day, and it has not even touched the edge of the city wall." ”

"Big brother, what do you want to do so much, it's not good to give away people's heads."

Xiao Wenlong didn't think about it anymore, the city had already begun to attack the city, and five thousand soldiers carried the ladder and rushed towards the city tower.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

The siege battle was quite tragic, and it was not much the same as yesterday, anyway, it was sent to death, and people kept rushing up, and people kept falling, and it didn't take long to climb up the ladder, and they would be killed by stones, bows and arrows.

Luo Tong watched from below and sighed constantly, such a fight was really boring and aggrieved.

Da Da...

At this time, cavalry appeared behind, and a small group of men and horses ran here, Luo Tong turned around and said, "It must be that the emperor has sent someone to deliver the decree again." ”

Luo Yi said: "Big brother, don't worry, the emperor didn't come over a mile away, which means that he won't invest his troops to attack the city anymore, so I guess he came to ask you to withdraw his troops." ”

"Really?"

"Hehe... Won't you find out later? ”

Not long after, that team came, and the leader turned out to be Cheng Liang.

Coming to Luo Tong, Cheng Liang said: "Brother Luo, the emperor asked me to deliver the decree, and after two hours, retreat with the army." ”

"Got it."

Luo Tong was secretly happy, finally he didn't have to kill people indirectly, and he still killed his own people. His nature is the same as Luo Yi, he can kill all the enemies, but he can't do anything to his own people.

After the decree, Cheng Liang left with the cavalry.

Luo Tong and Luo Yi were waiting under the city, with less than five hundred light horsemen behind them, seeing that the battle in front of them was getting more and more fierce and there were fewer and fewer people, Luo Tongdao: "When this battle is over, I will definitely bury the bodies of these brothers in person, and then ask the emperor for an order to give an explanation to their families." ”

.....................................

Two hours later.

The battle was over, five thousand soldiers were lost, and only a few hundred fled backwards.

Luo Tong waved his hand, took the five hundred cavalry behind him, and Luo Yi beside him, and quickly retreated.

After catching up with Li Shimin, Luo Tong went to report: "Your Majesty, Luo Tong is fortunate to have completed the task. ”

"Okay."

Li Shimin said loudly: "Spread the decree, the army will retreat fifty miles to rest and recuperate, and return to Chang'an in three days." ”

"What?"

Li Shimin said: "Our army has suffered heavy losses, it is not suitable to fight again, and Chang'an is in danger, I have just received a distress letter from Chang'an, so I have to go to the teacher, go and give orders." ”

Luo Tong: "This..." ”

Luo Tong was puzzled.

Not only Luo Tong, but also Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Liang, etc. don't understand.

Of course, except for Luo Yi and Xu Maogong, Xu Maogong has already guessed Li Shimin's intentions at this moment, and he is also full of confidence in this plan.
