lazy tang

Chapter 365
The biggest attack on Hulao Pass in a month has failed.Dou Jiande's Great Xia army found nothing except corpses everywhere and wailing wounded patients.

Holding a letter from Dou Jiande in Li's second hand, he kept turning it around in the big tent.Then he handed the letter to Li Shentong, who had the highest status, and Yun Hao, who was sitting next to Li Shentong, peeked at it, and his eyes straightened immediately.

It seems that Dou Jiande is really at his wit's end, and after being unable to attack for a long time, the solution he came up with is... an appointment to fight!
"I heard that the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty was a fierce tiger in the Tang Dynasty. When I saw him today, he was nothing more than a civet cat. He huddled behind a high wall and showed his bravery. My Lord of the Great Xia is willing to fight the King of Qin at the foot of Guangwu Mountain. Dare...!"

Yun Hao curled his lips, scolding people without any innovation.As for Li Er, whose mind is as firm as a rock, are you sure it is useful to scold him like this?Everyone knows what happened to the so-called Great Xia Army.A group of bandits who turned positive, plus a group of farmers who were coerced.

In theory, Dou Jiande is powerful, because he can recruit those refugees in Henan who can't survive without restriction.Judging from today's battle, he doesn't care about the lives of those people at all.Maybe he just wanted to let this group of people die, and one would lose one to eat.Food is far more valuable than these human lives.

Wang Shichong in Luoyang City couldn't hold on any longer, Yin Kaishan reported back yesterday.A large-scale breakout was carried out in Luoyang city yesterday, and the Dazheng army who rushed into the battle was fearless of death.They even broke through two trenches at one point, but the third trench made them shed their last drop of blood.

This should be the last counterattack of Dazheng's army. Yin Kaishan said that there were a small number of cavalry in the counterattack team.Wang Shichong is finished, and the last essence is lost in this counterattack.Now, he can only wait for Dou Jiande's rescue.He no longer has the ability to thump, if it weren't for the Tang army's strength.If you attack Luoyang now, you will definitely win it easily.

"What is King Qin's plan?" Li Shentong put down the letter in his hand.He is Li Er's clan uncle, even if Li Er saw him, he had to lower his figure and call him Uncle Wang.

"Nephew is ready to fight!" Li Er turned back to his seat and said while knocking on the table.

"Well! Boy, what do you think?" Li Shentong turned his head and asked Yun Hao.It's strange, Yunhao is the youngest in the whole tent in terms of age.But everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with asking Yunhao for his opinion.

"For a month, Dou Jiande suffered heavy losses in front of the Hulao Pass and did not move forward. The morale of the army has long been unstable. If he hadn't kept filling it with the lives of those civilians, he might have collapsed!

If King Qin goes to battle at this time, we only need to smash Dou Jiande's army.His 10,000+ army will collapse like a flood.Most of the Great Xia Army is infantry, as long as they break through their formation.Two legs must not be able to run on four legs, and the so-called one hundred thousand troops will no longer exist. "Shen Yunhao was talking.

"Yun Hou said carefully, how can a 10,000+ army be destroyed in one battle?" Everyone didn't speak, thinking that Yun Hao took it for granted.The current breeding situation is actually very good, and it is stuck at the Hulao Pass.Let the Great Xia Army not move forward, Luoyang will fall soon, just wait for Luoyang to fall.Datang can free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with Dou Jiande.A decisive battle at that time is much better than a hasty fight now.

Duan Zhixuan was the first to stand up, if his Xuanjia army charged forward, it would be the vanguard of the whole army.Everyone knows how risky it will be to attack an army formation composed of 10,000+ people.If one fails to get stuck, it may end in the destruction of the entire army.How could Duan Zhixuan not be in a hurry!
"General Duan, don't be so anxious. This time the battle will be very different from the past. The first one to fight is not your Xuanjia army, but Yun's artillery army. Just set up a trebuchet in our army formation , Yun is [-]% sure. Before you charge, let Dou Jiande collapse first." With gunpowder bombs and incendiary bombs, Yun Hao is very confident that he can tear a big hole in the Great Xia army formation.

"It shouldn't be difficult to set up a trebuchet to cover Yunhou. Xia Jun is eager for our army to go out of the city to fight. He will definitely wait for our army to set up a formation before launching a charge. Dou Jiande must be crazy to fight His Highness King Qin." Qu Tutong Twirling his beard and laughing.

He had seen the power of gunpowder bombs and incendiary bombs, and he absolutely believed Yun Hao's words.After Yun Hao finished speaking, he was the first to jump out to express his agreement.

"I hope it is as the old general said!" Qu Tutong was highly respected, and he was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty in the former Sui Dynasty.He was well-known in the army, Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to show some face when he spoke.

The generals of the Wagang faction naturally trusted Yunhao, and even Yuchi Jingde would not make a sound.The members of the Yuanmou Medal Academy are naturally the only ones to look forward to.Seeing that the generals did not have any comments, Li Er spread out the letter paper and wrote back to Dou Jiande domineeringly.

Early the next morning, Tang Jun started the battle meal early.Hundreds of cauldrons lined up, half filled with white rice.The other half was filled with red braised pork, and each had a bowl of spirits.They are all high-quality Yunjia spirits, which are worth thousands of gold in Chang'an City, which is not something these Qiu Ba can afford on weekdays.

The fat cook worked hard to fill everyone's rice bowls, and there was a thick layer of braised pork on top of the white rice.Everyone eats deliciously, and today we are going to do the business of licking blood.Perhaps, this is the last meal in this life.

Li Er silently took the copper basin from the cook, and Yu Chigong held the huge rice bucket.Cheng Yaojin filled a giant spoonful of rice, and Li Er spread a layer of braised pork on top.After the soldiers saluted, they silently took the rice bowl and ate happily.In this life, the prince can serve the meal himself, which is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

They are all used to leading soldiers, how can the way of nature let the soldiers relieve the tension before the battle.

In contrast, Yunhao's camp seemed a bit chaotic.They ate buns stuffed with pork and green onions for breakfast, six buns the size of a fist, and a big bowl of hot millet porridge. Yun Hao felt that he could beat a tiger to death.

Master Sheng Yan was instructing the soldiers to disassemble the trebuchet into parts and put them on the bullock cart properly.The point is those bullock carts filled with gunpowder and kerosene. One guy thought it was dark, and Master Sheng Yan kicked him somersault as soon as the lantern was lit.Just as that guy was about to open his mouth to shout and curse, a burly man rushed up and beat him until he didn't even recognize his mother.

When Yunhao passed by, he didn't seem to hear Wei Ting's voice calling for help.The backbone of the impeachment of Yunhao was dispatched by Li Yuan to serve before the army.With a smirk in his heart, Du Ruhui stuffed him into Yunhao's camp.
