In the fifth year of Yuanhe, on June 22, after being besieged for seven days, a fierce civil war broke out among the rebels besieged in Liucheng.

On June 24, on the third day of the rebel civil war in Liucheng, a fire began in the south of the city and spread all the way to the whole of Liucheng.

Corpses, houses, baggage, wood, everything that could be ignited was ignited in this sudden fire,

After a full day, the entire inner city of Liucheng was almost burned to the ground.

In the early morning of June 25, after a hearty meal, the 3,000 elite rebels, who had been ordered to guard the city gates, had not participated in the bloody battle in the city, walked down the city walls and began to sweep along the central streets.

In fact, if it were possible, Jiang Wenzuo didn't want to go down so soon.

Ordered to guard the city wall and city gate on the south side, Jiang Wenzuo has 3,000 elites, has a strong and tall city wall, has a large number of spare ordnance, armor, and city defense facilities, and has unique defensive conditions.

The defense is very good and perfect, which is Jiang Wenzuo's advantage, so if he does not take the initiative to attack, no one wants to come to him to seek death.

However, Jiang Wenzuo is not invincible, after all, this arrangement is the arrangement before the fifth round has not been completely crazy.

The purpose of the fifth round of readjustment and deployment is only one point, decentralization and checks and balances.

Jiang Wenzuo had elite soldiers, a complete city defense, and enough ordnance, but he had no food.

In order to put a layer of shackles on Jiang Wenzuo, the treasury of Liucheng would send food to Jiang Wenzuo every seven days, and the last time Jiang Wenzuo received supplies was the day before the rebel civil war.

If you don't attack again, it won't take two days at all, let alone attack, these elites on hand will mutini on the spot, even if you don't attack.

Even if you can't push all the rebels in the city in one wave after the attack, you still need to get a certain amount of food for your soldiers and horses, as long as you need to support the Tang army to accept their surrender.

Of course, helplessness is helplessness, and at the same time of helplessness, Jiang Wenzuo also has his own confidence and considerations.

Although Jiang Wenzuo himself did not participate in the battle in the city, he quietly observed the city for four whole days, and he believed that after the bloody battle and fire, the rebels in the city had probably been consumed to the limit.

Although the time for the attack was a little earlier, Jiang Wenzuo's ideas and plans proved to be successful.

In the past three days of bloody fighting, more than 100,000 rebels have been killed and wounded, and the stragglers of all walks of life have been exhausted in the continuous fighting.

There are not many who have the ability to survive, or even those who have the ability to occupy the advantage in the city.

In fact, Jiang Wenzuo knew that these people who could occupy a large territory in the city and occupy key positions such as the treasury, arsenal, and government office in the fierce competition could only be the same as him, with elite soldiers and horses.

However, these are not the real winners.

As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, and in the face of the power of water and fire, the power of people is so narrow.

Although Liucheng has been occupied by rebels, it does not change the fact that it belongs to the Tang Dynasty architectural style.

Like other cities in the Tang Dynasty, the buildings of this era were also mainly made of wood, and a single spark could even set the entire city on fire.

In June, Jiangnan, Jianghuai has already entered the season of the rainy season, the rainy season has already begun to rain continuously, but in Liaodong, here has just entered the summer, although not as hot as the Central Plains, Guanzhong is unbearable, but the weather is dry and dry, but it is Tong Suo is not bullied.

What's even worse is that Liucheng is already near the mountain, and there are only three city gates, two of which have long been sealed by the order of the Fifth Li, and the only south gate that can be used for passage has been closed by Jiang Wenzuo, making Liucheng cut off the possibility of water supply outside the city.

Relying only on the water source in Liucheng City cannot meet the drinking water of more than 100,000 people, and where is there enough water to extinguish the fire in this city.

The fifth-round cronies who have mastered the elite can rely on the elite in their hands to destroy other forces, or the wolves that are bravely beaten by stragglers, but in the face of this monstrous fire, they have no choice.

When a fire fell, in addition to the rammed earth city wall, all the houses and government offices in the city, whether it was the government treasury or the arsenal, were all engulfed by the fire.

The million-stone grain that had been painstakingly collected in the fifth round was also not spared.

The fifth round took a lot of effort and effort to build, and the filled treasury after treasury was also engulfed by the merciless fire, and it was even more dazzling and brilliant in the middle of the night.

After burning for a whole day and night, the fire slowly began to extinguish after almost all the combustibles in the entire city were burned.

A part of the rebels, who had managed to gain the upper hand in the continuous bloody battles, suffered heavy losses in the face of the fire, and pieces of men and horses were swallowed up in the fire.

A few guys who were lucky enough and flexible enough escaped the catastrophe, but they also lost more than ninety percent of their combat effectiveness in this fire.

As for those who were not lucky enough, the corpses had already been burned into powder in this fire, and with the wind and the waves of air brought by the fire, they flew away on the Liucheng and the land of Liaodong and Liaoxi.

With Jiang Wenzuo's order, the elite rebels who defended, watched the battle, and watched the fire on the city wall took action.

Immediately, a large number of elite rebels wearing armor and holding various blades in their hands began to advance in strides through the city.

These in the hands of the text are the elite, and they are recuperating, and they are watching the fire from the other side, and they are full of food before the attack, whether it is morale, strength, state, and equipment, they have reached a relatively peak state.

The other rebels in the city, who had fought fiercely for three days and struggled in the fire for a whole day, had already entered a low point from any angle.

already has the advantage of combat effectiveness, coupled with the gap caused by the elimination of one and the other, the combat effectiveness of the remaining rebels is almost vulnerable in front of Jiang Wenzuo's troops.

As a result, the elites of Jiang Wenzuo's department who attacked were like gods descending to earth, gods blocking and killing gods, Buddhas blocking and destroying Buddhas, and ghosts blocking ghosts, in such a city that was almost reduced to ruins, advancing frantically all the way.

From early morning to noon, in just half a day, most of Liucheng was already under Jiang Wenzuo's control.

From noon, the elite rebels under Jiang Wenzuo no longer rushed forward, but mainly focused on clearing the remnants of the enemy, and by the way, they searched for materials that were not destroyed by the fire.

In the face of the living rebels, those who obey will be accepted, and those who rebel will be punished when they see it.

Although it is no longer mainly about advancement, with the addition of scattered rebels, the number of Jiang Wenzuo's troops has increased, and when the time comes to dusk, Jiang Wenzuo has already taken eighty percent of the entire Liucheng.

At this moment, there are only three parts that are not under Jiang Wenzuo's control.

The first part is outside the southern wall of Jiang Wenzuo's main defense, and the rebels in charge of the eastern, western, and northern city walls are in control of this rebel army.

In the second part, the winners of the three-day fierce battle, they not only occupy the inner city, but also hold the only human life ticket in Liucheng - the fifth round that has been completely crazy.

As for the third part, it was the more than 1,000 rebels who occupied the only lucky granary in the city that escaped the fire.

After three days of fierce battles and one day of fire, these three forces, together with Jiang Wenzuo, constituted all the established forces in Liucheng.

In terms of strength, the strongest person is undoubtedly LYB Jiang Wenzuo, who has been lying on his back from the beginning and taking advantage of the fisherman.

Not to mention the largest area occupied, it has the most weapons in its possession, and its number has expanded to nearly 10,000 people after continuously absorbing the scattered rebel forces in the city, and it has also controlled the main passage connecting inside and outside the city.

However, the problem of this guy is also very obvious, and that is food.

You must know that the lack of food is the real reason why Jiang Wenzuo took the risk of attacking in advance, but it was too smooth after the attack.

And Jiang Wenzuo is not a pedantic person, so he naturally will not give up the advantages at his fingertips, but after the surge in troops, this problem has not been solved, but has intensified.

Secondly, there were the rebels who occupied the eastern, northern, and western walls.

This Jiang Wenzuo's former robe is the same idea as Jiang Wenzuo: the fisherman profits.

It's just that because of the larger defensive area, this guy has more troops in his hands than Jiang Wenzuo.

However, this guy is unlucky at this point.

Relatively sufficient manpower and relatively strong combat effectiveness made him unable to wait until the end like Jiang Wenzuo.

As soon as the battle in the city entered the third day, he attacked with his soldiers and horses, and although he failed to take the inner city, he also won a lot of territory in the inner city.

However, before this guy could be happy, Jiang Wenzuo lit a fire, so that the unlucky boy could only give up what he had taken and retreat honestly.

In fact, compared to other forces in the city, this unlucky boy was lucky, at least he still had a safe place to hide, and he still retained about 4,000 combat strength.

The one who occupied the inner city was the final victor after three days of fierce fighting, but the price of victory was really not small, and only about 2,000 men remained.

The last one is the real lucky one in the city.

Jiang Wenzuo lit a fire in the city, but there was a granary that happened to avoid the fire, and it was occupied by this force of more than 1,000 people in the chaos caused by the fire.

Although there are few people, they have mastered the only surviving granary of this one, and other forces, if they want to obtain food, must pass through them, and with the granary, they are also lucky to survive.

The four forces maintain a dynamic balance in this way.

………………………………

In fact, after such a chaos, there are no fools who can live until now, and those who also know this include Guo Rong outside the city.

You must know that there were scouts of the forbidden army in Liucheng, and when the hundred ghosts were released back to Liucheng, Guo Rong secretly sent a few veterans of the reconnaissance battalion.

When the melee was going on inside the city, the main force of the Tang army outside the city was not idle.

Guo Rong's actions in Liucheng matched Li Yu's layout very well, and it was determined that after the main force of the Tang Army besieged Liucheng, the army of the Bohai State also began to besiege Xiangping.

As the soldiers and horses of the Bohai State entered the pit, Guo Rong temporarily transferred all the cavalry and even all the war horses to three cavalry regiments, led by Dong Jia, and went east to support Li Yu, who was preparing to kill the Bohai State.

As for the city of Liucheng, after no longer need to disguise and camouflage, the 100,000 elite Tang army began to attack, taking advantage of the melee in the city, and began to attack the fifth round of the well-constructed defense system outside Liucheng.

Strictly speaking, for this whole defensive system, the fifth round is indeed very attentive.

Because of the lurking scouts, Guo Rong, He Mang and others knew from the beginning the terrible defense system built in the fifth round, and they never relaxed their vigilance from the beginning, and the staff officers also drew up a plan for a strong attack.

However, after actually arriving in Liucheng and carefully studying the entire defense system of the fifth round, everyone from Guo Rong to staff officers and engineers was silent.

First of all, all the camps on the periphery themselves, from the trenches to the traps, from the camp walls to the watchtowers, are well defended, and each camp can be seen as a small fortress.

Between the camps, at intervals of more than 100 paces, small dock forts or forts will be set up separately to reinforce each other and maintain contact.

This kind of camp set camp, dock fort set dock fort mode, not only convenient for reinforcements, but also convenient for transportation, can also be smoothly withdrawn when it is impossible to hold on.

Moreover, this just right spacing makes it difficult for the attacking side to encircle a single camp.

Even so, the fifth round dug tunnels between important camps, which is outrageous and outrageous.

You know, the fifth round of building the defense system around Liucheng was in winter.

The cold winter in eastern and western Liaoning is not an adjective, even if the wind and snow are combined, the land is also frozen hard.

Even the civil engineering boss of the Changying Army Engineer Battalion, who claimed to be able to travel freely in Guanzhong and Heluo, and touched He Mang, who was born in the Jin family, didn't know how the fifth round was

This cold time makes such a huge tunnel.

In fact, He Mangdu admitted that the defensive system built in the fifth round was indeed on the verge of reaching its peak, and although the sappers of the Changying Army did not have the same ideas as the fifth round, the effect achieved could not be stronger than that of Liucheng in the fifth round.

Why did Guo Rong and Li Yu have to transfer out the fifth round of soldiers and horses, and why did Guo Rong still choose to attack the heart when he had an absolute advantage, first driving the fifth round crazy, and then using counter-tactics against Liucheng, isn't it because of Liucheng's outrageously perfect defense system.

If the fifth round can still maintain sanity and tightly clear a series of camps on the periphery, I am afraid that it will consume countless people.

However, the fifth round has gone crazy, and Liucheng has become a pot of porridge, and after losing the support of the inner city and the overall coordination of the fifth round, the defense system that the fifth round of painstaking management is only an empty shell.
