The five days passed very quickly, almost in a blink of an eye.
In the past few days, the entire Cijian City has been thoroughly searched by police, from the rafters to the floor, not a single suspicious location was missed.
The meticulous scouts even poked every inch of the ground with their spears, hoping to poke out a few assassins and provide more explanation for this strange retreat.
It's a pity that what's disappointing is that they put in so much effort, only to poke out a few jars of wine in the ground, but nothing was gained.
No ambush, no tricks!
Wang Shichong retreated cleanly, leaving behind only one city that could not be taken away, as if to tell them that they no longer want this place, you can just play with it...
The army garrisoned in on the sixth day. This empty city was suitable for them to garrison now. Although it was a bit crowded, it was much better than just building a few leaky shabby houses in the wilderness!
Those jars of wine dug out of the ground were completely burned by fire before they could ferment into Nuerhong or Zhuangyuanhong!
As for the guy who took a few sips first, Xiao Han immediately found a room and locked him up. Now he is probably squatting in the corner counting ants...
There was no way, Xiao Han said, he had to stay in this house for fifteen days to make sure there were no viruses in his body before he could come out!
What viruses can a good person like myself carry?
The scout did not understand Xiao Han's words, but this did not affect his obedience!
After all, no one in the army doubts what is said from Xiao Han's mouth!
If so, this person's team is guaranteed to use a whip to help him change his inappropriate thoughts...
From May to June, Guanzhong is the hottest time!
I just came out of the cold spring, and before I even had time to wash and put away the heavy clothes, I plunged into the hot summer. The sudden sweltering feeling can drive people crazy!
Of course, the heat is just uncomfortable, and it will pass if you endure it!
What really makes people talk about it are all kinds of diseases!
Experienced veterans all know that at this time of year, those demons will awaken with the hot sun and shroud their terror over everyone's head!
And these armies that have gathered tens of thousands of people are exactly what these demons like the most!
In the past years, if there were not a few plagues in any army, it would be like living in a dream!
However, this year is different!
They have Xiao Han, Sun Simiao, and Old Man Hua in their army!
From diet, to hygiene, to prevention and treatment!
After such a complete process, the army has reached the present moment safely, and it seems that this stability will last for a long time!
Xiao Lizi is a very good leader! After listening to Xiao Han say a lot of terms that he did not understand, he decisively gave Xiao Han all the power in epidemic prevention and control!
Of course, the facts proved that there was nothing wrong with his decision!
Non-combat attrition, which was unavoidable in the past, has been completely eliminated now. Everyone is alive and kicking, and no one seems to be sick at all!
In this regard, the military record officer had completely sorted out what Xiao Han had done, and after asking them to correct it carefully, he sent it back to Chang'an urgently.
I heard from Xiao Lizi that from now on, other troops in the Tang Dynasty will also strictly follow this policy!
The first ray of light in the morning fell, and before the diligent roosters even woke up, a large group of people had already gathered at the top of Cijian City.
When the sky finally brightened up, everyone in the army who could speak up, starting from Xiao Lizi, basically stood here.
"Hey, what a good turtle!"
Xiao Han, who was woken up from his sleep, yawned and was trying his best to look far away in the direction of Luoyang.
Through the thin layer of mist in the early morning, the towering city wall of Luoyang City stood there like a big mountain! At the same time, it also suppressed everyone's hearts!
This is a strong city, a city far stronger than Chang'an! A city that is said to never be breached!
The seven-foot-high city wall would have been replaced by a building in later generations that would be five stories high! Like a long dragon, it stretches into the distance.
Not to mention anything else, this solid city wall alone is enough to make anyone who has fantasies about this city completely despair!
Not to mention, there are naturally formed moats such as Luoshui, Yishui and Gushui under the city.
Xiao Han believes that as long as the people in Luoyang raise the suspension bridge, even if they are given a tank regiment, they will never be able to break into this fortified city!
Many people were called over to watch the city early in the morning. Several telescopes were passed around in the hands of these generals, but strangely no one spoke. Several people in the crowd were even shaking involuntarily!
If Xiao Han just felt that it was difficult to capture Luoyang, then Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, and Li Ji!
These people who had already suffered great losses under this city were left with nothing but despair in their hearts.
Just because we have attacked and defended!
So they know the strength of this city better than anyone else! With an army of less than 100,000 people today, trying to capture this city is nothing more than an idiot’s dream!
There is a saying in the art of war: if you are ten, you are to surround it, if you are five, you are to attack it, and if you are twice as many, you are to fight!
They want to attack the city, but now there are a hundred thousand soldiers in Luoyang City! There are even more people than them!
"How about we dig out water and flood the city?"
A familiar voice sounded next to him, and Xiao Han knew without turning his head that it belonged to Yuchi Jingde. His low voice, like a lion's roar, was so recognizable that after hearing it once, it was impossible to forget it again.
"Dig for water? Dig for which water? Unless you, Heitan Tou, dig up the Yellow River, it is possible to flood Luoyang! I really think Luoyang was not considered when it was built?"
Cheng Yaojin sneered at Yuchi Jingde's idea and opened his mouth to attack him.
This unpopular guy, after listening to a story told by Xiao Han, remembered Guan Yu's feat of flooding seven armies! He didn't even look at the rough Han River, which was comparable to the slow-flowing Luo River and Yishui River in front of him.
?
Even if dams are built to block the water, with the low banks of these rivers, the water will overflow to other places without much storage, and it is impossible to pose any threat to Luoyang.
After being refuted, Yuchi Jingde looked gloomy and stopped talking.
He is having a miserable time in the army. Except for Xiao Lizi and Xiao Han, no one is even willing to say a word to him!
People say that this guy's return was too short and his loyalty is questionable.
However, Xiao Han believes that this is because Yuchi Jingde dealt with these people so badly on the battlefield!
Not to mention anything else, Liu Hongji will gnash his teeth every time he sees him!
If he hadn't been in the army and couldn't defeat Yuchi Jingde, he would have complained and taken revenge by now!
