Chapter 1318: We All Misestimated Each Other

The meeting ended briefly, in fact, Sun Daiyin just wanted to understand everyone's thoughts, no matter what the final result was, Sun Daiyin couldn't decide what was here.

When the meeting was over, Zhao Wu walked behind Sun Daiyin and said, "General Sun, I think we need to talk. ”

Sun Daiyin nodded, the basic ones who can make decisions here are him and Zhao Wu, and as long as they make a decision, the others will most likely choose with them.

The situation is stronger than the person, isn't it?

Everyone else left, and Zhao Wu looked at Sun Daiyin and said, "General Sun, in fact, I can probably guess what you think, you have always been a good official who loves the people like a son." ”

Sun Daiyin's character Zhao Wu They must have investigated, although this person's combat ability is good, but he is a little timid, what he says is cautious, and what he says is difficult is timid.

So when he asked them what they thought today, he was undoubtedly just testing them, and Zhao Wu knew very well that if Liaodong City could be solved quickly, it would be of great help to the Tang Dynasty to take Goguryeo.

"You have never let the soldiers make fearless sacrifices, so, General Sun, I want to ask you, do you think we can win this battle?" Zhao Wu looked at him and asked.

Sun Daiyin pondered for a moment, he didn't know what Zhao Wu meant, but he still said in a low voice: "Whether we can win or not will we talk later, but according to General Yuan's meaning, we must hold on until the arrival of reinforcements." ”

"No matter how long the siege of Datang takes, we must hold on for at least a few months, and when Datang's logistics cannot support it, we will naturally win."

Zhao Wu smiled, Datang logistics can't support it? The premise that Datang logistics cannot support is that Datang does not have enough food in China, and then the grain and grass transported cannot feed a huge number of people at the bottom of the logistics because of a large amount of consumption on the road.

If Datang has enough food, all the people who help Datang deliver food can not only eat enough, but also have money to take, do you believe that the people of Datang can move all the food of Datang here?

What's more, Zhao Wu actually knew more, and the Datang Intelligence Department revealed some of Datang's strength to them, so that they could be more confident.

Take the transportation of grain and grass as an example, the former Sui transported grain and grass to attack Goguryeo, and transported thousands of miles or even thousands of miles of grain from the interior to Youzhou through horse-drawn carriages and other means.

Because there is not much food, the people who deliver the food can only eat a small amount of rations, and even so, the consumption on the road is almost 50%, and even the distance is a little longer than 70%.

And how is Datang transported now? Land transportation is too slow, and a single delivery is too small, Datang is directly through the current Datang powerful shipping, directly from the mainland loading, along the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, or directly from Lingnan Road, Nanyang and other places directly through the sea ships to transport grain to Jinzhou in the Bohai Sea.

In Jinzhou, it is transported by land, how far is Jinzhou from Liaodong City? More than 300 miles only! And if the army of the Tang Dynasty is strong enough to control the entire Liao River, then the Tang ships can even go directly up the Liao River and send grain to the city of Liaodong!

The consumption of transporting food by ship is too small, not fifty or seventy, not even ten percent. And the speed of delivery is faster than land transportation!

So, are you counting on Datang to run out of food now?

"General Sun, if you can't do anything, you make the right decision, it's not what you and I want to let the soldiers of Goguryeo die in vain, as for General Yuan's side, I will speak for you." Zhao Wu was not too vague, but spoke directly.

Zhao Wu's words made Sun Daiyin's eyes light up, and he immediately understood what Zhao Wu meant, and the implication of Zhao Wu's words was that he could choose to surrender.

"I'll make a decision based on the situation." Sun Daiyin said decisively.

Surrender can surrender, but not directly surrender, if he surrenders directly, then he is almost useless to Datang. So why don't you have to defend for a few days.

"General Li, do you think they will surrender?" Wei Chi Jingde is also asking here.

"Of course not, at least I won't surrender tomorrow, I'm just giving them a deterrent, so that they are afraid of Datang in their hearts, this Sun Daiyin is a timid person who is afraid of death, or it can't be said that he is timid, everyone is afraid of death, to be precise, he is a person who knows the times very well. If he doesn't want to struggle uselessly, he will inevitably be ready to surrender, but he must show his worth. ”

"So he's going to defend us for at least a few days before he surrenders."

"And once he had the idea of surrendering, the deterrence we had against him today would inevitably circulate among the defenders, and he would not have prevented these rumors from circulating among the defenders and even among the common people. For it is only when these rumors spread that the whole city is more inclined to surrender, so that he will have the least responsibility and take himself out. Li Shiji said with a smile.

"Uh...... Is that the case? But what's the use of that? "Wei Chi Jingde is a little confused, if you fight, you will fight, what are these twists and turns for?

"It must be like this, and we have to do it tomorrow!" Li Shiji said with a smile.

Just like Li Shiji guessed, since he was going to surrender, Sun Daiyin had to find a way to make everyone have the same idea as him, so he didn't stop the rumors on the city wall, but instead of organizing, Sun Daiyin even secretly sent two or three henchmen to directly exaggerate the rumors.

For example, Datang's bed crossbow can even shoot through the city wall! Originally, it was exaggerated enough that this crossbow could shoot through the female wall, and it shot through the city wall...... It's almost an artifact, and Sun Daiyin has added a little mythology, what kind of gods and goddesses have descended from the Tang Dynasty, and the weapons and armor are all used by heavenly soldiers and generals.

Female wall

So, Zhao Wu originally wanted to arrange someone to publicize these, but before he could do it, he found that rumors were already flying in this Liaodong City.

In just one night, everyone seemed to know how powerful Datang's bed crossbow was. There was a kind of desperate news in the entire Liaodong City.

Until the next day, when the Tang army lined up in front of Liaodong City again, Li Shiji did not shout, because the other party had already sent people out if he really wanted to surrender, and it was impossible not to have any ideas at all.

So with the earth-shattering sound of snare drums and horns in the Tang army, the archers of the Tang Dynasty showed for the first time a range far beyond the Goguryeo archers! It's not a longbowman, but it can be projectile as long as it reaches range!

At the same time as the projectile, two special carriages were quickly withdrawn from the formation by the shield soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the carriages were welded with an iron frame, and the iron frame was covered with a large wooden shield covered with steel plates.

There were still two or three people on both sides to carry the big shield, and the soldiers held a shield covered with steel plates, blocking the sky from all the angles of arrows, and rushed straight to Liaodong City.

Defending for more than ten days? Li Shiji looked at Liaodong City, which did not even have a moat in front of him, this city-breaking thunder developed by His Royal Highness, I am afraid that the power will be beyond the imagination of all of you! Li Shiji has personally tested it in Youzhou!
