Chapter 591: Sweeping Henan

Li Shimin entered the palace, he had to enter the palace, Li Xin's army had already attacked Luoyang, he believed that Li Yuan must have known the news, 100,000 troops attacked Luoyang, how long can Luoyang be caught off guard, one month, this is the time that Li Shimin deduced, and he thinks that this time may be reduced, how big Wang Shichong's ability is, Li Shimin knows, if it wasn't for Li Xin's rescue, I'm afraid Li Zhao has already occupied Luoyang, how can it be like today.

As for what happened after Li Shimin entered the palace, no one knows, but after leaving the palace, Li Shimin stayed in the mansion for a while, and soon left Taiyuan and went to Hebei.

At the same time, Guo Xiaoke, who was in Nanyang City, was happy, he was wearing armor, and when Li Xin's order came out, he first led the army to kill Ye County, and from today on, he wanted to be the vanguard and sweep the entire Henan.

Under the city of Luoyang, it was already a time when the war was raging, Li Jing did not hesitate to order an attack, all kinds of attack methods have been used, all kinds of fireballs have filled the entire Luoyang city, and Wang Shichong was shocked that these fireballs could not be extinguished at all, on the head of the city, but also exuded a pungent breath, which made people feel sick, where did the soldiers under Wang Shichong withstand this kind of attack, while counterattacking, there was a huge coughing sound, the defense did not have any strength at all, and there were countless casualties.

Under the city, Li Jing is very calm, a huge dirt slope is slowly generating, this is the most conventional means of Li Xin's attack, that is, to use the mound of earth to make him higher than the city wall, on the one hand, you can put arrows on it, use the bow and arrow to control the city gate, suppress the enemy from the air, and the second is to throw soil in the air, not only close to the city wall, so that it is close to the city wall. Finally, it attacked the city wall, and the third was that the stone thrower threw huge stones to suppress Luoyang.

Wang Shichong also found that the mound outside the city was constantly rising, but he didn't have any way, there were very few cavalry on the Central Plains itself, Wang Shichong was based in Luoyang, on the one hand, it was his opportunity, and secondly, Luoyang's solidity, but now it was nothing in front of Li Jing, he did not send soldiers to carry out a brutal siege battle, but a cavalry defense. Archers attack from a distance, crossbows, stone throwers attack, at this time, Li Xin governs Guanzhong, after seizing Bashu and Jingzhou, the huge heritage brought by the huge area is exposed at once, and for two consecutive days, the entire Luoyang city is full of bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows are densely shrouded in the city wall. There was no place to stand on the city wall, and as for the soldiers in Luoyang, there were countless casualties.

Wang Shichong was completely frightened, and in the face of this situation, Wang Shichong had no choice. Attacking, Li Xin's cavalry controlled the positional battle, even if it was defending, it was cautious, and those soldiers didn't dare to stick their heads out at all. They all sat on the walls with shields in their hands, and let the bows and arrows in the air come at them, if they were just archers. The key is also fireballs and flying stones, these are the sharp weapons for killing, Li Jing does not seek the greatest possible killing, but destroys the enemy's morale.

"Shameless, shameless." Wang Shichong was completely angry, he heard that Li Jing was powerful, but what he felt now was Li Jing's shamelessness, using his huge background to deal with himself, Luoyang had an arsenal, and even one of the richest cities in the Yang Guang period, but don't forget that Luoyang is also a place of four wars, since Wang Shichong became the master of Luoyang, Luoyang has never lived a stable life. Yu Wenhua, Li Mi, Li Shimin and Li Xin, the weapons in the arsenal are almost the same, and although Wang Shichong has a hand in war, he is not good at governing the country, especially since he has no time or energy to govern the country.

The best way to deal with Li Xin is to bow and arrow, but there are not many bows and arrows in Luoyang City, and they are all at a disadvantage in siege warfare, at least, unlike Guanzhong, you can use bows and arrows casually.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is not to let Li Jing attack Luoyang, he uses archers to attack Luoyang, in the final analysis, he wants to break through Luoyang's defenses, we will close the Luoyang city gate and seal it with bricks and stones, no matter how powerful Li Jing's soldiers and horses are, it is impossible to break the sealed city." Shan Xiongxin said loudly.

"Yes, seal the city gate, no matter how powerful Li Jing is, can he still destroy the city wall of Luoyang, in the end he can only launch a sea attack, we need to hold on for more time, Li Yuan and Li Shimin will definitely not allow Li Jing to continue to attack us, he will definitely support us." Wang Shichong nodded again and again, he had no way to solve this matter now, he could only drag it out and use the time to consume Li Xin.

"But our food." Duan Da hesitated for a while before speaking. Of course, it can hold on, but Luoyang City is too big, and the city is not a place to produce food, and after a long blockade, there is no food.

Wang Shichong's face changed, but Duan Da's words hit his pain point, there are still a lot of things that Luoyang lacks, but more importantly, food, in this metropolis of hundreds of thousands of people, if there is no food, God knows what will happen? If there is no food in the city, the morale of the army will be unstable, and even the common people will rebel.

"Don't worry, Li Shimin will definitely come to our aid in time." Wang Shichong's face was gloomy, but he still said seriously. He has no choice but to put all his hopes on Li Shimin, and said: "Give up the defense of the Tiger Prison Pass, let people pass the message to the past, if Li Shimin's army comes, there is no need to resist, we just want to use Li Shimin's army to help us resist Li Xin." ”

Duan Da and the others nodded, but there was a sigh in their hearts, this is the sad thing about a weak country, if it weren't for Li Xin being too strong and Wang Shichong being too weak, how could such a thing happen, where do you still need Li Shimin to rescue, Li Xin also came to the rescue before, and finally Wang Shichong betrayed Li Xin, and now Li Shimin comes to the rescue, will he betray Li Shimin in the future. When is this kind of day a head.

Wang Shichong doesn't care, in his opinion, he just doesn't have time, no chance, now the two are competing, in the end, it must be a lose-lose, at that time, it is the time when he Wang Shichong rises, although he is a little humiliated now, but for the final victory, what is this humiliation!

It's just that what he doesn't know is that this time the army is not only Li Jing, but also Li Xin has personally led the army to march, Li Xin after Princess Yuerong gave birth to her son Li Chengxiao, led the army again, and the soldiers pointed directly at the land of Henan, but his marching direction was from Nanyang, through Guo Xiaoke's marching direction, through Ye County, inserted into Xu County, the forward Guo Xiaoke has already entered the territory of Dongjun, the whole Henan is in a wolf smoke, Li Xin's army is not comparable to the local army, these armies are not Li Xin's opponents at all, As soon as some cities saw Li Xin leading a large army to kill, they did not hesitate to order Li Xin to surrender. For a time, the land of Henan was full of wolf smoke, and urgent documents were sent to Luoyang.

"Damn Li Xin, he really made a move." Wang Shichong has aged a lot in the past two days, in just three days, the emergency documents from all over the country fell into his hands, the whole of Henan is like this, Li Xin's army is coming, there are tens of thousands of people, all this is nothing, the key is that in order to defend Li Jing, most of the army of Zheng Guo was collected in Luoyang, and the defense of Luoyang was increased, and because of this, the defense of various places was much empty, giving Li Xin an opportunity, most of the territory was captured by Li Xin, and Guo Xiaoke, whose striker Guo Xiaoke was like a wolf, As long as there is a loophole in any place, it will pounce on it, bite it hard, if it can't be eaten, Li Xin behind him will pounce on it, facing tens of thousands of troops, plus Li Xin's personal arrival, the whole Henan has no resistance at all. Starting from Nanyang, within three days, Li Xin captured nine large and small cities, and then went down, Li Xin's soldiers and horses were about to be killed under the city of Dongjun, that is, there was not much road from the Yellow River.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is back." At this time, an attendant outside whispered. Recently, these chamberlains have also been cautious, according to statistics, in the past few days, there have been six chamberlains who have been beaten to death by Wang Shichong because of poor service.

"Prince? He's back? How did he get back? Wang Shichong's face was stunned, he stood up suddenly, and was about to leave the palace, but just when he came out of the main hall, he saw Wang Xuanying break in.

"Father." Wang Xuanying saw Wang Shichong, he couldn't help crying bitterly, it can be said that he has experienced a lot of things in the past few days, from a high-ranking prince to a prisoner, all of this is the cold plum drunk that was dedicated to Li Xin at the beginning, until now he doesn't know why the guard wants to assassinate Li Xin.

"Say, what the hell is going on? Why did your people assassinate Li Xin? Wang Shichong said with an annoyed face.

"Father, father, didn't you order it?" Wang Xuanying looked at Wang Shichong with wide eyes, he didn't expect Wang Shichong to ask him about it.

"Damn, hateful, shameless, Li Xin, you are really shameless." Wang Shichong knew at this time that everything was made up by Li Xin himself, just to have an excuse to attack himself, the funny thing is that he thought Li Xin was stupid and couldn't even see his fake surrender, in fact, it was not that he couldn't see it, but the time was not ripe to turn his face with himself, so he agreed to surrender, and also asked Wang Xuanying to be a proton, all in order to confuse himself.

"Father, Nizi?" Wang Xuanying thought that his woman was still in Chang'an City, and he was immediately worried.

"Stupid, this is a game, don't you fail to see it? I can't figure it out that as soon as you walk on your front foot, you will accept the woman on your back foot. These big families are really not a good thing. Wang Shichong said viciously: "Li Xin, if you want to defeat me, it's not so easy, there is Li Shimin behind me." Wang Shichong's face was gloomy.
