Liu Chengyou suddenly smiled and said, "Good thing, good thing." Did you see anything just now?"

Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun's father and son didn't speak, because they only saw the strength of Youyun's eighteen horsemen, but they couldn't say this in front of Liu Chengyou, and keeping silent was the best choice.

"It's stupid enough. Liu Chengyou said: "The momentum of those wolves can affect the war horse, no matter how well the war horse is trained, it is just a horse, they are not people." Although their eyes are covered, these horses can feel the breath and momentum of the wolf, just like a rabbit sees a tiger, and it is normal for these horses to run away when they feel the presence of the wolf. Now that we have not suffered much loss, we have discovered this matter, so as not to suffer this loss in the future, so isn't this a good thing? When we enter Tongguan, we should stop using cavalry, so that these wolves will have no use. ”

"Your Majesty is wise. ”X3

Murong Yanzhao really admired, and Liu Chengyou once again showed off the lower limit of his IQ. Liu Chengyou's analysis just now was correct, but this kind of thing can be seen by a discerning person, and he still needs to say it?

The cavalry was originally useless during the siege, so there was no need to bring cavalry to attack Tongguan. Liu Chengyou actually brought so many cavalry, looking at the momentum, it was actually useless. The advantage of the cavalry lies in mobility, there is no need for mobility when attacking the city, even if the gate of Tongguan is breached, the cavalry will not produce too good results when rushing into Tongguan, and the cavalry can only exert real power when fighting in the field.

Liu Chengyou actually said that he didn't need cavalry when attacking Tongguan...... This is just nonsense. A person is invincible to this extent and is still complacent, if it weren't for his good birth and his father gave him a piece of the country, otherwise why would such a person become an emperor?

If Guo Wei is allowed to lead 80,000 horses to attack Tongguan, even if he attacks strongly, he will win. Of course, Guo Wei would never bring so many cavalry when he came to Tongguan, but he would bring the most basic shortsword soldiers, and each of them would issue a good shield, which would be more conducive to attacking the city.

Liu Chengyou said: "Murong Yanzhao, in my opinion, Tongguan is not very good, the city tower is not Kaifeng high, and there is no moat, according to your estimates, if Tongguan is stormed, how many casualties will there be, and how much time will it take to break through the Tongguan gate?

It's difficult, if Murong Yanzhao knew how to break through Tongguan, he would have done it a long time ago. There is actually only one reason why Tongguan is strong, that is, Tongguan is too high. Tongguan is not built on flat land, but on a soil slope, around the edge of this nearly three zhang high soil slope to build a city, although the city wall is not high, but plus this soil slope is extraordinary people can reach.

Tongguan does not need a moat at all, and this dirt slope and battlement archers alone can guarantee foolproof. The offensive position is too high, the defensive position is too high, and the power of the bow and arrow is doubled, so how easy is it to capture Tongguan? But how many sacrifices do you have to sacrifice to make a soldier rush to the battlement?

It took a veteran like Guo Wei to break through Tongguan, and although the method he used was stupid, it was feasible, that is, to build a fortress outside Tongguan. Raise the attack position so that you can minimize the damage and force the siege to get twice the result with half the effort.

In the face of a place like Tongguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is necessary to play some tricks and means to break through. If you attack it, you will really be covered with corpses.

"Your Majesty...... According to the minister's estimates, it is better not to storm it. The position is too high, our archers are of little use, and half of the sword soldiers die before they reach the city. It is difficult to break through the city gate when the car is attacked. Nowadays, our only advantage is that Tongguan does not have a moat, but the slope is too high, and Tongguan is strong and no longer needs a moat. ”

"Waste, it's been half a month since I arrived at Tongguan and I haven't attacked the city, don't tell me these truths, I only ask if I attack it, can I capture Tongguan?"

Murong Yanzhao said: "This ...... Yes, but at great cost. ”

"It doesn't matter about sacrifice, I want to capture Tongguan as soon as possible. Liu Chengyou said: "For the time being, I will command the siege of the city, and Murong Yanzhao will assist you." Today a banquet will be held to entertain the three armies, and tomorrow the city will be attacked. The order went down, and the first person to rush into Tongguan was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and sealed ten thousand households. There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and I believe that Tongguan will be captured soon. ”

"The Minister's Decree ......"

Murong Yanzhao gritted his teeth, really afraid that he would kill Liu Chengyou as soon as he was excited. Does this bastard think these soldiers are his? These are all soldiers in the river, all of his own soldiers. If it weren't for Liu Chengyou's words first, he really didn't want to send troops to besiege Tongguan, and now this shameless emperor actually came to an immortal jump, so he took away the military power and forcibly attacked the city, which would be a tragic massacre.

Murong Yanzhao knew very well in his heart that if Liu Chengyou was allowed to make trouble like this, he was afraid that the only troops he had would be ruined on Tongguan. At this time, the holy decree should really be issued, so that the other festival envoys should besiege Tongguan together, and besiege it on all sides with the advantage of troops, which is a good way to capture Tongguan, rather than relying on this alone.

"Your Majesty...... The minister thought that Tongguan was strong, and if it was attacked, he was afraid that the chances of victory were not high. It is best to issue a holy decree and let Hexi Jiedu make Zhe Jiashi send troops to attack from both sides, and the odds of victory are higher. ”

How could Liu Chengyou not know? The holy decree had already been issued, but he refused to send troops because he refused to send troops. The emperor is sometimes helpless, if his decree does not work, it is just a blank slate. Moreover, Zhe Jiashi was very sophisticated, and he did not say that he would not send troops, but only said that the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, so he asked Liu Chengyou to give him sufficient food and pay him to prepare grain and grass, as long as the grain and grass were enough, he would immediately send troops.

The correspondence between the two sides was a few days, and Zhe Jiashi deliberately played Tai Chi without mentioning the key points, and he might not be able to send troops for a year if he said it like this. But Zhe Jiashi did not resist the order, but the preparation was not sufficient.

Murong Yanzhao and Liu Chengyou had a word in advance, and Liu Chengyou asked Murong Yanzhao to serve as the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, on the condition that he would send troops at any time. As for the others, they are all old fritters, and they don't want to waste troops for Liu Chengyou, so how easy is it for them to send troops?

Liu Chengyou himself also knows that now the emperor's power is reduced by these festivals, and if they don't send troops, the emperor doesn't have much military power. Liu Chengyou only brought a few thousand cavalry to Tongguan this time, and only left more than 10,000 city guards in Kaifeng.

The reason why Liu Chengyou wants to come to Tongguan is to let the people of the world take a look, he Liu Chengyou can also fight, and those who are disobedient and temperate will cut off their military power if they continue like this, and whoever is not satisfied will send troops to fight whom. Now the situation can only be like this, Liu Chengyou must appear strong.

Murong Yanzhao said: "Your Majesty, you are very clear about your difficulties. However, Your Majesty actually has a way to go, and now there are two princes in Dahan, they are both your own uncles, so it is better to make a holy decree to King Yan and ask him to move troops to save him. King Yan Murong Yan's super martial arts are world-famous, maybe not as good as Guo Wei but it will not be too different, the strength in the hands of this person is far superior to all the envoys, as long as King Yan gives an order, there will be hundreds of thousands of troops to kill, and he is not afraid that Tongguan will not be broken when the time comes. ”

Murong Yanzhao suddenly mentioned King Yan, this is indeed a good path. Murong Yanchao is Liu Zhiyuan's half-brother, although this person has excellent martial arts, he is only content with pleasure, he has hardly done serious things, and he is gathering power together. But Jingzongxin mentioned that his heart changed greatly, and he has been running around for the Han Dynasty.

But Liu Chengyou didn't know these things, he thought that the third uncle was an incompetent gentleman. And this third uncle is different from the second uncle Liu Chong, the second uncle Liu Chong and the first emperor are the same father and mother, but this third uncle is the same mother...... I always feel that there is a certain estrangement, and this person may not listen to his own words.

Liu Chengyou did not contact the third uncle Murong Yanchao, but contacted the second uncle Liu Chong. It's just that the second uncle's words are very ugly, and he has been accusing himself of killing loyal ministers, showing that he is very disappointed in himself. Liu Chengyou knew that the second uncle would never send troops. Whether it is a reason or an excuse, the second uncle has already made his position clear, and he doesn't want to help himself.

At this time, Liu Chengyou really didn't know that Guo Wei had already rebelled in Chang'an, nor did he know that his second uncle Liu Chong was the biggest instigator, let alone that Guo Wei was preparing to send troops to Kaifeng under the name of 'Qingjun'. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew about this matter but did not mention it, and Liu Chengyou still kept thinking that Guo Wei might be hiding in Tongguan and did not dare to come out.

"Forget it, after all, he and my father are not the same father and mother, and they usually only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and they haven't done anything serious. Although his subordinates are very obedient, they are a wine bag and rice bag, and even if they look for him, there will be no results. ”

Liu Chengyou's words surprised Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun's father and son, how far does it take for a person to say such a thing? He couldn't even see the situation in the world clearly, and no one had mentioned to him about his own uncle's drastic change in heart? Now only King Yan was his savior, and he didn't even know?

Murong Yanzhao said, "Eh...... Your Majesty, as far as I saw just now, those wolves rushed out and bit the war horses and dragged them into Tongguan, it seemed that they were extremely hungry. There is not enough food in Tongguan, and we can only besiege the city to defeat it. Why waste the lives of soldiers?"

"In the woman's opinion, although these wolves seem to be hungry, the soldiers are full of energy," Liu Chengyou said...... "According to my estimates, there is a lot of rice and grain hoarded in Tongguan, which is enough for them to live for a while. It's also strange that I didn't explain clearly to Fengxiang Jie Du at the beginning, and sent too much rice and grain to Li Shouzhen, but what you said is also right, I believe that now Tongguan has run out of food, if they can besiege the city for a period of time, they will definitely die. It's just that...... I want to immediately break through Tongguan to prove to the people of the world that I am also a person who can lead troops to fight, so that those festival envoys can be obedient. ”

Murong Yanzhao was about to cry, this emperor himself has no ability, and he still doesn't listen to his advice? Although his idea is correct, if he develops like this, it will not be effective, but will reduce the number of troops defending the city in the future. When Guo Wei's army arrives, he must leave some troops to confront Guo Wei.

And these are all his own soldiers, Liu Chengyou doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, does he think these soldiers are all for nothing? They also have their own parents, wives and children, let them die for the sake of your own anger...... Wouldn't Liu Chengyou think differently? If he were one of these soldiers, what would he think?
