"The general's army is really powerful, I thought that these people were hiding in the mountains and forests, and it was very likely that it would delay our attack, but I didn't expect the general to disappoint us at all."

Advancing from the border line, it is about more than 100 miles, and according to Changsun Ze's original idea, it will take at least five or six days, after all, without the support of the naval division warships, all of them have to rely on us to kill, but Huo Quzhi's men made him impressed.

When Li Xiang returned to the capital before, he had already praised Huo Quai's army alone, saying that his army was the strongest in mountain warfare, and there were still many people who were not convinced, after all, the people in the army were not convinced by each other, but now these people are also honest, under the same circumstances, if they are allowed to attack, I am afraid they will not be able to achieve such results.

"Lord Tougo, don't follow those people to talk nonsense, it took two years to train this army, if I can't kill it at such a speed, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to take my head for drinking."

After Huo Quai's words were finished, these people present also laughed, their training time should be the longest among all the Tang army, but after everyone saw this result today, one by one they were silent, people trained for a long time, and spent a lot of money, but people really do things for you, if there is no such a mountain army, we may have to waste a lot of shells, little by little.

Now when the Vietnamese army rushed into the mountains and forests, our army rushed directly to them and steel knife to steel knife, if they captured their brigade, the artillery outside the mountains and forests immediately supported the inside, in the case of cooperation inside and outside, more than 10,000 soldiers who escaped from the border line did not run a few, more than 5,000 people were captured, and the rest of the people basically died in the mountains and forests.

"In the next siege battle, you can take a little rest, and after we take Luocheng, the sailor warships will basically come, and then you will continue to advance south with your army, and the last fierce battle has just ended, just let everyone take a good rest."

Huo Qubing did not have any refutation of Changsun Ze's statement, after all, siege warfare is not the strong point of his soldiers, if he is going up, it is not that it can't be done, but doing so is tantamount to fighting with his own shortcomings, which is also the most intolerable thing among warlords.

You can do this as a last resort, but now there are other armies watching besides your army, and you are already the first to make a victory, and you have to give the others a little way to live.

After the rest of the generals heard this, everyone's faces also showed smiles, and they were afraid that Huo Quai, this kid, would eat all his military exploits, and when he was fighting in the mountains and forests, many people deliberately went in and followed to see that the combat power of those under him was indeed strong, even if it was not in the mountains and forests, the combat power of individual soldiers outside surpassed the ordinary Tang army.

Everyone followed Changsun Ze to the front of the sand table, the city wall of Luo Cheng was not very high, after all, Vietnam is also a small country, about eight or nine meters, which is equivalent to the height of a three-story building.

This is still the largest city in northern Vietnam, and it used to be the national capital, and later because of the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, they felt that it was too close to the border of the Tang Dynasty, so they moved the national capital to the south, if they encountered an ordinary city, the height was about three or four meters at most, after all, they did not have such a strong national strength to build the city wall.

"There are nearly 80,000 troops around Luo Cheng, but more than 10,000 people have retreated from near the border line, their combat effectiveness is not strong enough, and they have brought the defeat to the past, and the rest of the people are Vietnamese generals, Wu Yuanhao brought from the south, and it is also the most elite army in the whole of Vietnam, and now all of them are huddled in the city, and there is no intention of leaving the city."

When the general saw everyone coming, he hurriedly introduced the situation here and saw how we should fight next, in fact, Wu Yuanhao has already missed the opportunity, you have 80,000 troops under your command and it is okay to put 20,000 or 30,000 outside, there is no need to pull all the people into the city.

This guy originally had plans to arrange a military camp outside the city, but he didn't expect the progress of the Tang army to be so rapid, so this guy felt a little scared, if he couldn't withstand the attack, then he had to bring back all his troops, Vietnam is not only one Luo Cheng, there is still a lot of land to defend in the south.

In fact, you can't have too many worries when you fight, if you have too many concerns, then you can't put all your strength into the battle in front of you, and now Wu Yuanhao has such an idea, before he starts fighting, he has already begun to think about defeat.

"How's the city's supply stockpile?"

It is not the first time that Changsun Ze has led troops to fight, and besieging the city is simply commonplace for them, so the material reserves in the city are very important, and we have a total of more than 70 secret agents in this city, so it is easy to get information about this.

"Two months ago, they began to stock up on supplies, and with a large number of people fleeing, their supplies should be available for 3~4 months, and the southern route is still open, and all kinds of materials are also being transported into the city in large quantities, and their continuous combat effectiveness is still increasing."

The general staff had already understood the surrounding situation clearly, because it was not clear what the situation was in the surrounding mountains, so our men had no way to besiege the entire city, and could only attack the city from the north and northeast alone.

The words of the general also made everyone understand that we have no way to besiege this city, so we can only storm it.

"In that case, then pull our artillery out and send a gift to our southern neighbors first, let them know that we are coming, and say hello!"

The Datang army has basically formed a habit now, when we play against the other side, our artillery will definitely pull out to say hello, on the one hand, to improve our morale, on the other hand, to suppress the other party's morale, but also to let the other side's people know that we are powerful, many people have lost their combat effectiveness in the shelling...
