Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 635
Shi Siming looked at the majestic Luoyang City, the eastern capital of the empire was like a pearl, and it was what he longed for most at this time.

Shi Siming once followed Anlu Mountain and knocked open the gate of Luoyang city, but at that time he was only the deputy general of Hedong Jiedushi, but now behind him are 20 Hedong soldiers listening to his orders, and the mere Luoyang city can be broken within a day.

When people are old, it is easy to be inexplicably sentimental. Shi Siming looked at his energetic son, and felt a sense of time urgency.

Shi Siming is a veteran general, he knows very well what is the most important thing in siege.

For a strong city like Luoyang City, it is very difficult to break through from the outside, and it often takes a huge price.

But in fact, most of the fortified cities were not conquered from the outside, and the fortresses often collapsed from the inside.

The siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top.

Luoyang is a big city, which is not conducive to the opponent Zhang Xun.

Shi Siming has studied Zhang Xun's record. He once defended Suiyang to the death of Dayan's East Route Army, which can be said to be the No. 1 defender of the Tang Dynasty.

But Shi Siming still has confidence, because Suiyang is a small city with a united heart, and Luoyang is a big city with a mixed heart.

Shi Siming was furious immediately, there were actually resisting Tang troops outside the city?Haven't all the cities near Luoyang been occupied?

But the next day, when it was still raining, Shi Siming sent cavalry out of the camp again. This time, the soldiers who went out of the city were much more careful. They would send out scouts every time they passed a place that was easy to be ambushed.

This is the longest time calculated under the strict ration of a little rice for people like Zhang Xun who stay behind in the Eastern Capital and only drink porridge twice a day.

Glancing at the calendar hanging on the wall, this is the new calendar just promulgated by the court this year. Today happens to be Xiaoman in mid-April. Zhang Xun raised his head and looked at the raindrops floating in the sky. It was raining.

When the east cavalry passed through a forest, there was a sudden sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air!
"Enemy attack!"

Shi Siming's camp is very organized, definitely not comparable to a refugee army like An Qingxu.

Soldiers cannot afford less food, they cannot fight without food, and lack of food in the army will also lead to mutiny.

They would even be driven to the city of Luoyang and become human ladders for the army to attack the city.

At this moment, there was a noise behind him.

But how does Luoyang defend?
Zhang Xun has already raised food as much as possible, but the food in Luoyang City is only enough for Luoyang soldiers and civilians for a month.

When the team returned to the camp outside Luoyang, Shi Siming received a report that all the cavalry he had left the city to raid were ambushed, and more than half were killed or injured.

Shi Siming once again ordered Shi Chaoqing to lead five thousand elite cavalry to sweep up the vicinity of Luoyang City and pull out all the strongholds around Luoyang.

All the camps are not near or far from the river, so soldiers can fetch water conveniently, and if the camp encounters a fire, they can quickly put out the fire.

"Get out of the woods!"

This time, half of the soldiers fell off their horses again, and now the cavalry general was terrified, and he didn't care about the fact that Brother Paoze was behind him, so he rode his horse and escaped out of the forest.

Soldiers in the southeast region were going to defend Pengcheng. The southeast region was the tax center of the Tang Dynasty and the economic center of the Tang Dynasty. It must not fall into the hands of An Qingxu.

From this point of view, Luoyang has become an isolated city, and it can only be defended by itself.

Now that Shi Siming has blocked the water and land passages into Luoyang, the last time Guo Mu led elite cavalry to escort food into the city will never happen again.

Zhang Xun was half-bright and woke up by the shake of the old housekeeper. He looked at the rising sun outside the house, and then put on his clothes and prepared to inspect the city defense.

But the village was empty, and the smoke rising from the village was nothing but hot water boiled by the players.

The only good thing is that Shi Siming's military rations are sufficient, and he also wants to ascend the throne in the future, and he will not treat the people like pigs like those ogres in the late Tang Dynasty.

His favorite general, Nan Jiyun, is fighting for Jiaodong with Shi Chaoyi in Qingzhou. The imperial court has added Nan Jiyun as the governor of the four states, ordering him to guard Jiaodong.

In the east of Luoyang City, the road became very muddy due to the light rain, but a cavalry from the east of the river galloped on the official road, and the muddy water from the horseshoes opened up one after another.

The leader of the cavalry was also a little scared. He immediately sent someone to contact the nearby friendly army, and planned to attack the village with several cavalry.

Shi Siming looked at Luoyang City, and Zhang Xun in Luoyang City also looked at the dark camp outside the city.

In addition to being attacked by the army that went out to sweep the camp, some soldiers who were fetching water by the river were attacked by underwater enemies, and some people touched the edge of the camp and set fire to it at night.

Now the soldiers go out of the camp to fetch water, and they dare not go alone.The cavalry who went out to catch the coolies worked for two days, but all of them returned without success.

Shi Chaoqing looked at the guard's fingers, and he also stood there in a daze!

After returning to the camp, the leader knew that almost all the cavalry who left the city had encountered the same ambush.

In a short period of time, Guo Ziyi cannot be expected to support, because guarding Tongguan is the most important thing for the Tang court today.

It is said that it is to catch coolies, but it is basically cannon fodder.

Shi Siming immediately ordered his son Shi Chaoqing to lead five thousand elites to search for the Tang army along the place where they were ambushed.

After the capital Shi Chaoqing swept around the place where he was in the middle of the ambush before, he didn't even find a single Tang army. Shi Chaoqing could only set fire to the forest in anger, and returned to the camp empty-handed.

This time, they were not so lucky. During the second round of salvo, most of the cavalry stayed in place. This kind of live target standing in place was already dead to players who were proficient in archery.

Shi Chaoqing was about to yell loudly, but the guards around him came up and shouted: "Young commander, heaven!"

shouted the cavalry general, and just as he finished speaking, the second salvo arrived.

Although Zhang Xun evacuated the people of Luoyang out of the city, some people still felt that it was difficult to leave their homeland and gathered in villages near Luoyang, thinking that they could escape the military disaster by luck.

The captured coolies need to work in the barracks day and night, and they don't even have food, because for Shi Siming, they are just consumables.

As long as Guo Ziyi dares to go out of Tongguan to save Luoyang, Shi Siming will dare to fight Tongguan!
The last time An Lushan took advantage of Ge Shuhan's decisive battle in Tongguan, won the first battle and occupied Tongguan, and then directly defeated Guanzhong to occupy Chang'an.

And there is some distance between each camp, even if there is a fire attack, the whole camp will not be set ablaze.

There are quite a few in the army, and the people will starve to death in a month. Although Zhang Xun himself has made sacrifices for the people, how innocent are the people who stayed behind?
Before I knew it, another night passed.

But this is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

The barracks are well-organized, and once encountering a night attack, soldiers can quickly leave the camp to fight.

Naturally, Tang Jun's morale is like a rainbow now, but how long can such morale last?
Luoyang City has been surrounded, and not even a grain of grain can be transported in. When the grain in Luoyang City is gone, what support will the army in the city use?
This time, Shi Siming brought the food and grass accumulated in Hedong for many years, and he was determined to fight a protracted war.

In fact, Shi Siming lost less than a hundred people in the past two days, but such an attack was too disgusting, and it seriously affected the morale of the army.

The leader of the cavalry felt that he had been tricked, so he personally led people to sweep the village, but in the end he didn't even find a grain of food.

But when the friendly forces were assembled and the cavalry leader ordered to rush into the village again, he did not encounter any resistance.

Shi Chaoqing gladly accepted the order, and early in the morning of the third day, Shi Chaoqing assembled his troops and rushed out of the camp.

The food and grass are placed in the middle of the camp, separated by large open spaces.

Shi Siming didn't care much about Guo Ziyi who was hiding in Tongguan.

He knew the situation of Datang. Guo Ziyi's trip to Tongguan was also the result of discussions with Zhang Xun.

The cavalry general shouted immediately, and he immediately lay on his horse's back and dodged two arrows.

Suddenly, the top of his head darkened, and Shi Chaoqing slowed down, preparing to take a break under the cloud.

These are hardly a loss to the 20 army, and it is not even as good as the number of people who die of illness in the army every day.

But his men were not so lucky. The opponent's bows and arrows were extremely accurate, and they were ambushing very close. This round of bows and arrows hit nearly [-]% of the cavalry.

This time, they did not encounter an ambush on the way. Just as the cavalry gradually relaxed their vigilance, they finally saw a village with little smoke.

In order not to make the soldiers around him despair, Zhang Xun kept his face expressionless, but when he returned to the residence, Zhang Xun let out a long sigh.

Shi Chaoqing led the cavalry out of the camp. At the same time, the player hunting team ambushing in the woods got the news and quickly began to retreat to the designated location.

Shi Siming's cavalry rushed towards the village frantically, preparing to plunder here, but before they rushed into the village, they were attacked by a rain of arrows.

It finally cleared up today, Shi Chaoqing galloped in the early morning sun, and it was considered early summer after Xiaoman passed.

This time the rain of arrows was accurate and dense. The cavalry who rushed towards the village were unprepared, and several knights were shot and fell off their horses. The scene was very chaotic.

Zhang Xun looked at the city wall for a long time, but couldn't find any flaws.

The target of this group of Hedong cavalry is the villages near Luoyang. Although Shi Siming brought a lot of food and grass, the work of building siege equipment requires people to do it. They went to the big camp to do coolies.

It turned out that there was no cloud covering the sun at all!It's an oval flying object!

　Two things happened yesterday.

　　One is to watch The Wandering Earth 2, which is really good. I didn't look at my phone the whole time, and some plots were quite moving.

　　The second is that Blizzard stopped serving, and once again sighed goodbye to youth.
