The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"The general's army is indeed powerful. I thought that these people were hiding in the mountains and forests and would probably delay our attack. I didn't expect that the general did not let us down at all."

It's about 100 miles from the border. According to Chang Sunze's original idea, it would take at least five or six days. After all, without the support of naval warships, we would have to rely on us to fight them all. However, Huo Qubing's men asked him to Watch with admiration.

When Li Xiang returned to the capital before, he had already praised Huo Qubing's army alone, saying that his army was the strongest in mountain warfare. At that time, many people were still unconvinced. After all, people in the army were unconvinced by each other, but now These people are also honest. Under the same circumstances, if they are allowed to attack, I am afraid they will not be able to achieve such results.

"Master Protector, please don't follow those people's nonsense. It took me two years to train this army. If we can't kill them at such a speed, Your Highness will probably drink my head." ”

After Huo Qubing said these words, the people present also laughed. Their training time should be the longest among all the Tang armies, but after everyone saw the results today, everyone fell silent. , They train for a long time and spend a lot of money, but they also really do things for you. If there is no such a mountain force, we may have to waste a lot of artillery shells and fight over bit by bit.

Now when the Vietnamese army rushes into the mountain forest, our army rushes directly to fight with them steel knife against steel knife. If their large group of people is captured, the artillery outside the mountain forest will immediately provide support inside, and we will cooperate from inside and outside. Under such circumstances, only a few of the more than 10,000 soldiers who escaped from the border escaped, more than 5,000 were captured, and the rest basically died in the mountains and forests.

"In the next siege battle, you should take a short rest. After we capture Luocheng, the naval warships will basically arrive. At that time, you can continue to advance south with your army. A fierce battle has just ended, and it’s time for everyone to take a good rest.”

Huo Qubing did not have any refutation of Chang Sunze's statement. After all, siege warfare was not the strength of his soldiers. If they had to bite the bullet and go up, that's not to say it was impossible, but doing so would be taking advantage of one's own shortcomings. Going to fight is also the most intolerable thing among warlords.

You can do this as a last resort, but now in addition to your army, there are other armies watching from the side. You have already made the first military exploits, so you have to give other people a way to survive.

After the remaining generals heard this, they all had smiles on their faces. They were afraid that Huo Qubing would lose all their military achievements. When they were fighting in the mountains and forests, many people went in specially to watch. The combat effectiveness of those under his command is indeed strong. Even if they are not in the mountains and forests, their individual combat effectiveness outside is superior to that of the general Tang army.

Everyone followed Chang Sunze to the front of the sand table. The wall of Luocheng was not very high. After all, Vietnam is also a small country. It was about eight or nine meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a three-story building.

This is still the largest city in northern Vietnam, and it once served as the capital. Later, due to the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, they felt that it was too close to the border of the Tang Dynasty, so they moved the capital to the south. If they encounter an ordinary For cities, the height is only about three or four meters at most. After all, they don't have that strong national power to build city walls.

"There are nearly 80,000 troops in total around Luocheng, but more than 10,000 of them retreated from near the border. Their fighting power was not strong enough, and they also brought the mood of defeat with them. The remaining people were Vietnamese generals and military generals. The troops Yuan Hao brought from the south are also the most elite troops in Vietnam. They are all huddled in the city and have no intention of leaving the city."

The staff general saw everyone coming and quickly introduced the situation here to see how we should fight next. In fact, Wu Yuanhao has missed the opportunity. You have a full 80,000 troops outside and put two Thirty thousand is fine, there is no need to bring everyone into the city.

This guy originally had plans to set up military camps outside the city, but he didn't expect the Tang army to advance so quickly, so this guy felt a little scared. If he couldn't withstand the attack, he would have to give up all his troops. Just take it back. There is not only one Luocheng in Vietnam, there is also a lot of land in the south that needs to be defended.

In fact, you can't have too many worries when fighting. If you have too many worries, then you won't be able to devote all your strength to the battle in front of you. Wu Yuanhao has this idea now, and he hasn't started yet. During the war, he had already begun to think about defeat.

"How are the material reserves in the city?"

This is not the first time that Changsun Ze has led troops to fight. Besieging a city is a common occurrence for them, so the material reserves in the city are very important. We have a total of more than 70 spies in this city, so we want to get information in this regard The news is simply a piece of cake.

"We started stocking up on supplies two months ago. With a large number of people escaping, their supplies should be able to be used for 3 to 4 months. Moreover, the routes to the south are still open. Various Supplies are also being transported into the city in large quantities, and their continuous combat capability is still increasing."

The staff general has already understood the surrounding situation clearly. Because it is unclear what the situation is in the surrounding mountains, our people have no way to surround the entire city and can only attack the city from the north and northeast alone.

The words of the staff general also made everyone understand that we have no way to besiege this city, so we can only attack it by force.

"If that's the case, then pull out our artillery and give a gift to our neighbors in the south first, let them know that we are here and say hello!"

The Tang army has basically formed a habit now. When we confront the opponent, our artillery will definitely pull out to say hello. On the one hand, it improves our morale. On the other hand, it suppresses the opponent's morale. At the same time, it also Let the people on the other side know how powerful we are. Many people have already lost their combat effectiveness during the shelling... (End of this chapter)
