The cannon fire outside the city never stopped, and the whole city was trembling. There was no one on the street, and the huge city seemed to have become a dead city. Only the army is moving in groups in a hurry from time to time.

The city was full of smoke and smoke, and the walls had collapsed a lot, and it was a mess. In the air, a pigeon swooped down into the city in panic.

Mutter! Mutter! Mutter!

A soldier with a haircut put his hand into the pigeon cage, grabbed out the gray pigeon that had just flown in, saw that there was something tied to his leg, hurriedly and carefully untied it, turned back and ordered, "Hey, I will go to report the news."

Zhang Liang was standing on a pavilion, looking at the stones rolling down to the city wall in mid-air in the distance. On the left and right stood Li De, Pang Xun and other civil and military officials of the Yu army, and a group of foot cavalry below guarded the pavilion.

A Yu scout dressed in cloth rode over on horseback, muttered a few words below, and a military general led him up a narrow wooden staircase to climb the platform.

Zhang Liang took the thing and looked at it, and said, "The main cavalry of the Tang army has all gone south, and the infantry on the periphery of Luoyang has also withdrawn in large numbers to the south."

Li De said, "It seems that Ling Hu Yi has made a move in the south, and our threat has suddenly become much smaller."

Zhang Liang nodded silently.

The principle of carrier pigeons to pass the news is that they will fly home, Zhang Liang has been prepared, in order to pass the news when the city is besieged, he arranged for people to feed the carrier pigeons mainly in two places, Luoyang City and Liang County. Needless to say, Liang County is also a critical place, because it controls the south gate of Luoyang City.

Now that the city of Luoyang is besieged, the scouts of the Yu army outside can still pass the news back through carrier pigeons. Zhang Liang can also spread the news to Liang County. But you can't send the news directly to Ling Huyi from the air, after all, carrier pigeons are not airplanes.

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said: "Use the pigeons of Liang County to send a letter to the past, write a letter to report the revolving gate, and say that the main force of the Tang army is advancing south."

The man who had just come upstairs bowed and said, "Yes!"

Li De suggested: "The Tang army has transferred a large number of infantry and cavalry from Luoyang, and there is a large gap in the besieged city in the east, so that our cavalry can go out from Luoyang to respond to Linghu Yi."

Pang Xun said coldly: "There are not many defenders in Luoyang City, Ling Hu Yi looks like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and he calls himself the first tiger general in Jing Kingdom, how powerful he is. Do you need us to deal with it?"

Zhang Liang glanced at Pang Xun and said lightly, "We must focus on the overall situation."

After the main cavalry of the Tang Army was transferred, the Luoyang Army was indeed not much of a threat when it came out of the city from the east. But Ling Huyi suddenly dispatched in the early hours of this morning, and the time was too short. Zhang Liang has not yet figured out the specific situation of Jing Jun and Tang Jun. rushed out of the city, and didn't know how to deal with Ling Huyi.

"Ling Hu Yi became famous at a young age, and he was arrogant, but he did have real skills in using soldiers. A certain still believes in him very much, and it is not easy for Tang Jun to deal with him." Zhang Liang exhaled and continued, "But since you have the opportunity, you can order the cavalry to attack from the east gate and harass the Tang army's besieging men."

Pang Xun agreed, "The most important thing for us is to defend Luoyang City."

Zhang Liang was noncommittal.

After Wang Rong heard that Ling Huyi went north, he returned to Xuanwei City yesterday and was no longer outside Luoyang City.

This place is located in the north of Caoqu, west of Luoyang, which is the middle. But at this time, it was very quiet, and the sound of cannons in Luoyang could not be heard, nor could the sound of horses' hooves fighting near Caoqu.

In the tranquility, Wang Rong looked at the air, but he could imagine that there was fighting and bloodsheding on all sides.

In the signing room, there are more than 20 drawings in a row, some maps are very detailed, and a small hillside on it, a forest, and a village are marked. In addition, there are two sets of upper and lower structure charts of the intelligence system, and an organizational chart of the transmission of military orders.

The room was not large, standing or sitting dozens of people. Some people were writing in the rustle, and some people were silently facing Wang Rong's side.

Outside, in the courtyard, two or three hundred heralds and officials of the camp stood in a procession, and the emperor was inside, and they were all very quiet; Everyone is always ready, once there is a military order, the order in the small signing room can be transmitted to the front in the most rigorous way, the fastest speed, and it can be as specific as a hundred people.

In the silence, the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

At this moment, an official bent down and walked into the signing room, bowed to the upper position, and walked next to Zhang Yunshu and whispered a few words.

Zhang Yunshu immediately stood up and bowed, "Holy Lord, all the people and horses of Ling Huyi are still in the narrow area south of Yushui and north of Caoqu."

Wang Rong said in a deep voice, "Very good."

Zhang Yunshu said: "Ling Huyi must think that the cavalry of our Tang Army is on the side of Liang County, and the two places in the south are mounted infantry. Now he is still in the dark, becoming a monkey. Just hide it from him for a day, and you can drink a pot of it."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little warmer, and everyone said, "The Holy Lord is like a god, congratulations to the Holy One!"

Wang Rong said quietly, "It's still early to celebrate the crown. Linghu Yi has 30,000 cavalry, and the cavalry of the surprise army is not vegetarian. Even if more than 50,000 cavalry from the Uluo tribe set up a decisive battle with him, he is not 100% sure that he will be able to win a complete victory, so just wait."

Wang Rong's bright eyes were full of nervousness, but there was no joy or anger on his face, and he only paced slowly in place, thoughtful.

Now, Wang Rong doesn't have to do anything, only wait, but this kind of waiting is really difficult.

Wang Rong wanted to go back and be quiet, but he was reluctant to leave, because he wanted to hear the results in the front yard as soon as possible.

After a long time, Wang Rong breathed a long sigh of relief and explained to himself, "The worst outcome is to let Ling Huyi go."

Originally, today's big battle was not in the strategy, but Ling Hu Yi fought very arrogantly, and the troops made dangerous moves, and unexpected fighters appeared.

The original strategy was that the main force of the Jing army did not go north, so it kept attacking Luoyang to exert pressure; When the main force of the Jing army went north, the Tang army retreated to two lines of defense and continued to consume until the Yu army could not afford to consume it.

It is impossible for the people of Ling Huyi to cut off the supply line of the Tang Army's grain route, and at most they will cause some losses. Even if the rear does not transport grain for two or three months, the short-distance supply line from Xuanwei City to Luoyang alone can guarantee the frontline siege.

The only way that Ling Hu Yi could substantially relieve Zhang Liang's pressure was to attack and harass the besieging army. But it was not easy, the cavalry of the Tang Army was enough to protect the surroundings; Even if he was occasionally succeeded in a sneak attack by Ling Huyi, he would not be able to deal a substantial blow to the army.

Wang Rong said in his heart: "In this battle, I am fortunate to have won and lost my life. That's it."

Wang Rong suddenly smiled, looked back and said, "What we are doing now will be praised for thousands of years in the future, and I can complete this great event with you, and I will never forget it."

Everyone said: "The ministers know that this matter is very important, and it is fortunate to be able to be under the command of Your Majesty and share the same hatred for the country."
