Chapter seven hundred and ninety-fifth heart-pounding good news
After hearing the news, others saw that one or two soldiers were not killed by eating a little bit badly, and they did not die of poison or twitch their limbs, and they also quietly moved to the dungeon to get food.
And the general who was patrolling the night was my dear Brother Acer. This guy turned a blind eye to this scene, and he didn't know how happy he was.
When the next day, news that the food outside the city was not only not poisonous but also very fragrant began to spread in the army. Wang Shichong was shocked and angry and wanted to send troops to cut off the soldiers who dared to secretly leave the city to steal food, but was stopped by Wang Shiyun.
Because at this time, the total number of soldiers who went out of the city to steal food was not a thousand or hundreds. If they were cut all, it would definitely arouse the anger of the soldiers who were already very dissatisfied with the distribution of food. By then, Wang Shichong's butcher's knife had just swung his butcher's knife, and the mutiny had already begun.
In the end, Wang Shichong had to give up the idea of losing the hundreds of soldiers who stole food. However, he repeatedly ordered not to sneak out of the city to steal food, but it did not have much effect. In particular, many generals just wanted to get some food for their hungry and hungry subordinates. If he was too strict, he might be tied up by his soldiers and his mouth was stuffed with smelly and rotten steamed buns.
The common people also secretly colluded with their brothers or uncles who were in the army and secretly took the night to steal food. When things got worse, almost all the people in the city hoped to get a bite of food that could fill their stomachs.
In desperation, Wang Shichong could only send some soldiers to act as porters, but these soldiers could only go out of the city to get food through the hanging basket every time.
During this period, the propaganda force of the Chinese Empire held a big copper trumpet outside the city every day and shouted to Luoyang City, telling Luoyang's military and civilians that Wang Shichong is not a good bird, only my Chinese Empire is a great man.
Every day, Zheng Jun's morale is falling at the speed of a stock market collapse. Wang Shichong has no good way to solve the current dilemma except staying in the palace all day long and scolding.
Nowadays, he can only hope that Dou Jiande can help him, and hope that Dou Jiande's hundreds of thousands of troops can really defeat the powerful Revival Army of the Chinese Empire to break the siege of Luoyang.
Of course, this can only be considered his delusion. My wife, who is victorious in every battle, took action personally. Not to mention Dou Jiande, even if he calls Dou Shengli, it is not my wife's meal.
However, before the war ended, no one could predict the result. He besieged Luoyang City and watched the changes in the Luoyang City civilian army's people's hearts, while nervously waiting for news from Huzhu.
This time, Dou Jiande used nearly 500,000 troops in one breath, and was known as a million troops to the outside world. This young master has always tried to exaggerate the practice of the ancients' fictional reporting of the number of troops.
After all, this may only occur in ancient times when the intelligence system was not yet fully established and developed. After this young master strengthened his intelligence work, now, although it is impossible to say that even what underwear Dou Jiande is wearing, at least he can know who he summoned and what orders he issued every day.
It is already quite good to be able to achieve this. Nowadays, let alone Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Mi and others, even the Lord Jie Li Khan, there are also detailed ambushings we sent to the past.
However, they are located in the desert and are too far from Chang'an, and they are alone among the enemy groups, so intelligence is usually transmitted for several months or once a year to reduce their chances of being discovered.
The reason why we can know that Jie Li Khan intends to invade is due to the timely transmission of intelligence personnel.
In three days, a 500,000 army that was enough for Dou Jiande to move to the vicinity of Hulao Pass. At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of Xia troops, who were ambitious and full of morale, immediately launched a strong attack after arriving at Hulao. Unfortunately, they were not facing ordinary troops, but professional soldiers from Yishui.
The brave and powerful, with a heinous experience in combat, the Chinese Revival Army, supported the city wall and firmly blocked the Xia army outside the Hulao Pass. After two days of attack, they threw down tens of thousands of corpses, but they had never even climbed the city.
Dou Jiande, who was still loyal at the beginning, couldn't help but feel a little worried and anxious. He brought hundreds of thousands of troops, but now he is blocked by the Hulao Pass. He has long heard that there is a very powerful long-range weapon in the army of the Chinese Empire. Both Liang Shishi, Liu Wuzhou and even the Turks have suffered from such weapons. If it is stopped by this kind of thing, it would be reasonable.
But now, there is no such artillery as rumored in the rumor. But there is a black iron bump that makes people numb to their scalp. According to the words of the Chinese Revival Army, this thing is called a grenade. It is this fearful grenade that has caused countless heroic soldiers of the Xia army to fall into a pool of blood without even going up the city wall, making it difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops to advance.
Dou Jiande tried all his tricks, but he couldn't attack the city. Every day, just receiving the soldiers who were disabled or half-disabled by grenades made them dizzy.
Looking at the solid and tall Hulao Pass, Dou Jiande had a few hundred thousand troops, but he could not come up with an effective attack method.
After three days, I could only fill in my life bit by bit every day as if I was playing the tactic of adding fuel to it.
In the end, Dou Jiande, who had no choice but to do anything, decided to lure the enemy into the depth. Well, it is not bad to lure the enemy into the depth, but the problem lies in who the person who used this strategy.
Dou Jiande evacuated Hulao Pass and stationed troops in Sishui. He acted as if I couldn't defeat Hulao and I would stay here and not leave.
The Yaoguang girl ignored Han Shiyan, Li Shimin and others' dissuasion and ordered her troops to go out of Hulao Pass to advance towards Sishui. Dou Jiande almost jumped up when he received the news.
It was originally because the positional battle could not challenge the Chinese Revival Army retreated to Sishui in disappointment. What was the result? Just after retreating to Sishui, Lady Li San actually rushed over to challenge. How could this not surprise and joy? Dou Jiande sent Liu Heita to lead 80,000 elite cavalry to fight for the general, but the two sides did not decide the outcome.
In the next few days, Dou Jiande sent troops to attack the camps of the Chinese Empire several times, but there was no way. After many twists and turns, Dou Jiande, who felt increasingly bored, knew that he could not make any profit, so he decided to withdraw his troops. However, at this moment, Lady Li San attacked.
Li Sanniang personally led 10,000 elite iron cavalry to launch an assault, rushing left and right in Dou Jiande's military formation, stirring Dou Jiande's army into a pot, and Li Shimin, Han Shiyan and other generals also led elite assaults.
In the end, the Xia army could not hold on and finally began to defeat. Dou Jiande's central army was the first to collapse because of the repeated attacks of Li Sanniangzi, and Dou Jiande was almost captured by Li Sanniangzi. His army was defeated to Niukouzhu. At a terrifying moment, the cavalry of the Chinese Revival Army pursued him again.
The Xia army, which was gathering, could no longer bear such pressure, and the Xia army soldiers began to flee in scattered areas. Dou Jiande tried to organize his troops to resist, but was eventually captured by our army.
This prisoner of war exceeded 100,000, and many important generals of the Xia army, including Luo Yi, Liu Heita, and many other Xia army generals, also fell into the hands of our Chinese Empire. Far from Luoyang, I received news when the Xia army was defeated for the first time. In a happy moment, I received news that all the Xia army bosses such as Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, and Liu Heita were captured.
This young man almost got very happy. His grandmother was so happy. Yes, this time, the Heluo land was almost peacefully accepted, and there was almost no decent battle.
And the only battle was to fight Dou Jiande who came to help. What was the result? After this battle, it not only allowed the Heluo Land to resist without any remaining strength, but it was also possible to accept it in the hand of Shandong and Hebei Land.
At this moment, a large number of bronze horns continued to ring outside Luoyang City, sending the news of Dou Jiande's defeat and captured into Luoyang City. Although Wang Shichong tried his best to suppress it, he kept telling his subordinates that the Chinese Empire must be bragging, and never believe them. Dou Jiande can lead hundreds of thousands of troops here, so how can he be defeated so easily?
The Chinese Empire military may just be a trick that has been delayed by the war for a long time.
Although Wang Shichong cannot be believed, he is at most half-believing and half-doubting. The soldiers have no idea of fighting, but are more waiting, waiting for the real result of the battle at Hulao Pass.
But what they didn't expect was that the roars were the truth. But it didn't matter. Anyway, when the prisoners of war were escorted, the truth would be revealed to the world. At that time, the soldiers in Luoyang City, let alone morale, would probably even have their courage to become negative.
Even if Wang Shichong grows a thousand mouths and is so sensible, there will definitely not be more than one hundred soldiers willing to work hard for him.
Just after receiving the information, I quickly ordered the letter to Guanzhong. Late on the third night, a security division that came to reinforce had arrived outside Luoyang City. In addition, a military military recruited continued to go east without stopping. The most important thing was to cooperate with the remaining troops to clear out the Xia army who was unwilling to surrender.
And we continued to stay under Luoyang City and waited. At the same time, I was already considering the issue of moving the capital. I have to say that Chang'an is indeed a good place, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the land is fertile.
But the problem is that compared to Luoyang, it is still too remote and is not the best imperial capital place I ideally want. Luoyang is located on the edge of the Yellow River, and the river transportation is more convenient than Chang'an. The canal is nearby. In addition, it is located on a plain and well-connected. If it develops, it will definitely not be inferior to Chang'an.
