Liu Da has been with him for so long, except for seeing him in the morning for unremitting morning exercises, this is the first time he has seen him fight with people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the same is true, I only heard Cheng Yanjin talk about his heroic appearance on the battlefield before, but I didn't expect to finally see the so-called master today, I don't know how these two people compare to Qin Qiong Luo Shixin.

raised his hand and knocked on Fugui's sturdy chest, Fugui showed his trademark smirk: "Brother Liu is too powerful, I am not an opponent." ”

Liu Da shook his head: "Look at the rich brother's toes buckled, he must be a good rider, I have been a soldier for more than ten years, I have always been a foot soldier, and I must not be your opponent on the horse." ”

Hearing this, Wang Mai hurriedly looked at Fugui's toes, and sure enough, as Liu Da said, Fugui's two toes were slightly inward, although it was not very obvious, but it was still very different from ordinary people. It turns out that there are so many things to say here, and Liu Da's heart is fine enough, and he can guess it.

When I was having breakfast, I finally saw Rou Niang come out, Liu Ning'er next to her tilted her head and refused to look at Wang Mai, Bacheng was still angry, it was really a child's temper.

"Hello two sisters." Fugui greeted the two.

"What sister, call sister-in-law." Wang Mai gave him a blank look.

"Huh?" Now Fugui is really stupid, I don't understand why the name changed overnight, scratching his head and standing in place.

Rou Niang hid her face and went out shyly, and she didn't even bother to eat breakfast. Wang Mai shook his head, he was more unrestrained than himself last night, and his skin became thinner in front of people, he really didn't understand women.

After breakfast, the two chatted in the hall, discussing how to cooperate with the military operations of the Tang Army.

"As soon as a month, the army will be launched." Fugui whispered. Wang Shichong's power is no different from Li Mi at the beginning, looking at the large territory, but most of the counties below are attached to him, plus this person likes nepotism, which leads to Zheng Guo's cohesion is very poor, and it can even be said that it is scattered, and the loyalty of many of his subordinates is basically zero.

Since the beginning of this year, countless counties and counties have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Shichong has just increased the punishment for defection, and the soldiers went out on the expedition, and the family members had to be guarded as hostages. Fortunately, the old monk Huicheng rescued himself from the cell, otherwise he might have enjoyed this treatment.

After Zheng Guo fought a few beautiful battles last year, the days ahead are getting worse and worse, and it is conceivable that once the Tang army really attacks, Zheng Guo's power is basically invincible. Wang Mai remembered that it took less than ten years for the Tang Dynasty to complete the reunification in history, and Wang Shichong estimated that it would not last long.

The only difficult thing to do is Luoyang City, here is Wang Shichong's lair, when Emperor Yang of Sui built it, it was built according to the scale of the world's first strong city, it is a hard bone harder than stone. At the earliest, Yang Xuangan raised troops against the Sui, did not listen to Li Mi's advice on advancing into Guanzhong, and spent several months in Luoyang City, which directly led to defeat. Not to mention the Wagang army, Wang Mai personally experienced this war, Li Mi was defeated in a battle, and Wagang disappeared.

Luoyang City is a real city high pool, Sun Tzu's art of war has clouds, on the army to fight, then to fight, then to fight, then to attack the city; The siege of the city is a last resort. Especially in this era of lack of long-range heavy weapons, the siege is basically filled by human lives, and those siege equipment such as building cars are afraid that even the high city towers in Luoyang cannot reach them.

Remembering the most famous Battle of Stalingrad in World War II, the two sides invested more than 10 million troops and caused more than 2 million casualties. In this battle, the Germans had long-range heavy weapons, various heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, and finally still failed. Even though there are various reasons for this, the most important point is that siege warfare is extremely disadvantageous for the attacking side, and once it gets into a war of attrition, there will be logistical problems. Especially now is the era of cold weapons, grain and grass are basically transported by manpower and animal power, and 100,000 people are dispatched to fight thousands of miles away, and the logistics personnel have to be several times or even more than ten times that of the exhibitors.

However, one of the biggest drawbacks of Luoyang City is that there is no big granary in the city, and the big warehouses such as Xingluo Cang and Luocang are all outside the city, which is not conducive to defense. As a layman, he can think of this, presumably Li Shimin, the commander, already has a plan for the battle, and he has a cloud of strategists under him, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xu Shiji, etc., and even Wei Zheng who was moved by his own words, so there is no need to worry that his strategy will go wrong.

On their own side, once the Tang army began to besiege the city, Luoyang was the core of the war. Fighting a war is not fun at all, especially the tragic siege war, when the time comes, there will definitely be a river of blood, once Luoyang City is besieged, there will inevitably be a shortage of food in the city, and now you should hoard some food, now the family is big, and there are more than a dozen servants under your hands to eat with you, in case the war really becomes a protracted war, don't help the Tang Army at that time, not to mention, but also starve yourself to death.

Talking about his thoughts and Fugui, I didn't expect Fugui to think the same way: "When I entered the city yesterday, I felt that Luoyang was not easy to fight, and the highest ladder in the army was afraid that it could not reach the city wall, so it could only be lengthened, and I was afraid that I would not be able to attack the city without a million troops." "Good guy, this kid has been in the army for less than two years, and a million troops have come with his mouth, and now the country has only a population of tens of millions, where are the millions of troops.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty used a million troops in his first two expeditions to Goguryeo, but now the corpses are afraid that they are all rotten, and it is impossible for Li Yuan not to learn from this experience, at most two or three hundred thousand people are remarkable.

"It is impossible to storm by force, Li Shimin wants to take Luoyang, and there is only one way to besiege the city." Wang Mai said.

"There is another way," Fugui thought for a while and said, "If you can take a city gate down, then directly open the city gate and bring troops into the city, and Luoyang can be taken in a battle." ”

"You think too simply, the eight city gates of Luoyang are the top priority, and the guards are all Wang Shichong's cronies, so it is impossible to persuade them to surrender. If we attack by force, do we have soldiers? Wang Mai knocked the table "thump".

"Yes, yes," Fugui patted his thick upper arm, "I can fight ten by myself, plus your guard, Brother Liu, the two of us will have no problem beating twenty together." ”

"Get out!" Wang Mai said angrily, "You are now in the Tang Army, and you are sacrificing your life for the country when you die, Liu Dake is my person, why should you work for the Tang Dynasty." Besides, there are thousands of troops guarding the city gate, and the troops on the surrounding city walls will be reinforced at any time, you are the reincarnation of the overlord Xiang Yu, and you can't make much waves. ”

"Hehe......" Fugui smiled slyly, "I'm teasing you, I've been a soldier for almost two years, so I naturally know that things are not so simple." ”

"Alas......" Wang Mai sighed, for today's plan, let's take one step at a time, Tang Jun has not come yet, and it is a little early to think about this. It is imperative to stock up on some food in case of emergency.

took Fugui and Liu Da to the winery, and Fugui began to stir his nose: "It's so fragrant, what kind of wine is this." ”

"Immortal Brew." Liu Da explained to him on the side.

After listening to this, Fugui looked at Wang Mai with adoration: "Brother Mai, you are so powerful, you can make such a good wine." ”

"You stupid boy," Wang Mai became angry when he said it, "with my brother's ability, it will not be a problem for you to feed a hundred, but I like to go to the barracks to mess around, I am really blessed and will not enjoy it." ”

Entering the winery, Lao Huang was very happy to see Wang Mai, and kept saying flattering words with his mouth open, this old boy is now dressed in silk and satin, and his hair is combed cleanly, and he is no longer sloppy as he was at the beginning. Listening to Liu Da, Lao Huang now has a monthly income of five yuan after being the manager of the wine shop, and he married a wife in one go, and after more than a year, he already has two daughters, and now the third child's belly is also big, so he is looking forward to having a son.

It's really money that makes people grovel, Wang Mai looked at Lao Huang who was running the train with his mouth full of anger, or the sloppy man who looked pleasing to the eye, this person's current expression is no different from the little foreman who flattered himself on the construction site at the beginning.

Lao Huang pulled Liu Da aside and asked wonderingly, "Why is Childe unhappy today?" ”

Liu Da has long looked at him unpleasantly, and there are five or six people all day long, and he treats himself as a big man. Ah Lang is so capable, and he is very frugal in life, but he is very generous to his friends, that Yan Qinli ran home now that he had no money, and he took almost a few hundred yuan back and forth. and Zheng Ting's newly built library building in Luoyang, not to mention the money, he also gave away his own printing workshop.

Seeing that Liu Da didn't like to take care of himself, Lao Huang was even more puzzled, so he had to follow behind Wang Mai and the three without speaking.

"Lao Huang." Wang Mai finally spoke to him for the first time.

"Hey......" Lao Huang hurriedly agreed.

"Load a cart of wine, I want the best, and today I want to thank those friends who helped me before."

"Okay."

"Wait," Wang Mai called to him, "I'm still frizzy at such an old age, I haven't finished yet." ”

"Although the son commanded, I Lao Huang will not hesitate to go to the knife mountain and go down the oil pot, even if it is ......"

"Okay, okay......" Wang Mai hurriedly interrupted him, "If you say these nonsensical things in front of me again, I will replace you as a steward, my brother, don't you sound disgusting?" ”

"Yes, yes, Childe said yes." Lao Huang sweated in his head, and then he knew that Wang Mai didn't like the sycophancy he said.

The stick straightened...... That's right. Wang Mai looked at Lao Huang, "In the future, the winery will purchase more grain, but less wine." ”

"Why is that?"

"You don't have to worry about it, the extra food is delivered to me and Song Laosanfu every day, don't tell outsiders about this matter, understand?"

"Got it."

Shaking his head and walking out of the wine shop, looking at Liu Da with a smile on his face next to him, Wang Mai was angry: "Look at Lao Huang, the child, why are you so unlucky, I haven't even married a lady in the more than half a year since I was away." ”

Liu Da still smiled and didn't speak, Wang Mai was angry, and glared at Fugui again, this kid kept glancing at the wine jar in the car, it was just a wine barrel and rice barrel, and he couldn't walk when he saw delicious food and drink, who were the people around him.
