    Luoyang, Hanjiacang City, Commander's Mansion. Since the city defense battle, this Hanjiacang City located on the outside has become Wang Shichong's headquarters. He set up the commander's tent here to show everyone that he  He is always fighting and commanding on the front line, and all his relatives, including his own harem and clan, are concentrated in the palace, and are jointly managed by Wang Shiwei, the great clan leader, and his queen, Chen Xuan'er. As for the family members of the civil and military officials,  Yang Wang is under unified management in the temporary camp in the palace city. He is not only a hostage, but also allows the soldiers at the front to have no worries, because half of the food in Hanjiacang City is transported into the palace city. At least the people there do not have to deal with other people every day.  People gnaw the dirt together and get rid of the crumbs of the pie.  Wang Shichong has a calm expression and is wearing a general's robe and armor. Since guarding the city, he will only put on this commander's equipment when he returns to the commander's mansion. When commanding on the front line, he often wears the leather armor of a small soldier.  Commanding from a place with a wide view, without even the flag being around, this trick has been learned by the chief generals in each city. Therefore, in the more than 20 days of guarding the city, no major general has been attacked by the enemy.  Belemnite damage.  The generals standing in two rows in the hall all looked calm. They had been defending the city for more than twenty days. Their faces were full of fatigue and their eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. The Tang army relied on its large number of people to attack from the first day.  When the city failed, soldiers from various states and counties in the Central Plains were used, as well as lowered soldiers as cannon fodder and human shields. Wang Shichong also used militiamen as the main force to defend the city. In this way, they fought for more than 20 times.  God, it was very lively. There were fifty or sixty thousand corpses of the Tang army under the city, but the Eastern Capital City remained unmoved. This also made the generals who were a little unsure at the beginning become more and more confident as they fought.  .  Fei Qingnu's saliva flew everywhere, and he said with excitement: "Today Tang Gou mobilized 30,000 people from the West City to attack. Hey, we didn't use cannons to fly rocks. We just used eight-bow crossbows for a few rounds, and then they threw them away."  More than a thousand corpses escaped. Huh, I think these Tang soldiers are all cowards and are getting more and more frustrated. On the first day of the siege, they still fought hard, and now they are even connected to the city wall.  I can't even touch it." Lai Zheng said with a smile: "Isn't Lao Fei unhappy because we didn't kill anyone?" Fei Qingnu laughed: "Liu Lang, you understand me, my two.  This big ax is almost rusty. If there is no more blood, I'm afraid it will have to be remade." The generals all burst out laughing. Wang Shichong curled his lips and looked at Shen Guang, saying: "  General Shen, how is the situation in Nancheng now?" Shen Guang put away his smile and said seriously: "The Tang army in Nancheng seems to be more powerful than elsewhere. It is probably because they are afraid that Li Jing from Jingzhou will go north, so they keep a lot of troops in Nancheng.  The Tang Army's Guanzhong Prefecture soldiers, but these days, sieges still basically rely on state and county militia. A while ago, 20,000 people from Tian Zan's troops in the four eastern counties of Han Dynasty arrived in Nancheng. As a result, they attacked the city for three days and lost five people.  After thousands of troops, they refused to dispatch. I think the morale of the Tang army has dropped. Should we go out of the city to fight them? " Wang Shichong frowned slightly: "Is Tian Zan dispatching now? Or is it the general of the Tang army in Nancheng?  Li Shimin?" Shen Guang shook his head: "No, it seems that Li Shimin only directed the siege on the first day and then returned to Beicheng. These days, Li Shiji has been in charge of the siege in Nancheng.  There are a lot of them, including small-footed wooden donkeys, throwing poles, siege towers, and earthen mountains. It can be said that they have exhausted all five elements of warfare, but they still can't move my Nancheng at all. " Wang Shiman nodded with satisfaction.  : "Very good, General Shen. It seems that you are very promising. Li Shiji is also a famous general. He is well versed in the art of war, and you have perfectly defended the city with all possible siege methods. Then I, Luoyang, seem to be safe." Shen Guangxiao  Said: "Commander, if we only defend but not attack, are we a bit conservative? The soldiers are now very high-spirited and have a strong fighting spirit. They all want to go out of the city to fight. I think the morale of the Tang army is declining now. As long as we open the Nancheng  If we attack the city and concentrate our forces, we can recapture Zheng Guocang City. As long as Zheng Guocang City is in our hands, the siege of Luoyang will be broken." Wang Shichong glanced at Wei Zheng standing aside and smiled at each other.  Waved his hands: "Everyone, due to the need of military aircraft a while ago, I did not tell you our strategy for this battle. Now the time is almost here. I can tell everyone that our purpose in this city defense battle is not to  Defend Luoyang, but to annihilate the Tang army!" Everyone opened their eyes in surprise, Shan Xiongxin shook his head in disbelief: "What, annihilate the Tang army?  Possible? We are defending the city now. They have many cavalry and can retreat back to Guanzhong at any time. We have no guarantee of victory in the field battle, so how can we possibly destroy them all?  " Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with green light: "We have never tried our best in field battles, and Jingzhou Li Jing??Lianghuai Yang Xuangan has always been my loyal subordinate. Now they are deliberately pretending to want to be independent in order to confuse the Tang army. The Tang army has suffered so much losses and so many people have died. If it were ordinary people, I'm afraid  I will retreat, but I know Li Shimin's character well. He is the kind of person who becomes more courageous the more frustrated he is. Moreover, he now also believes that he has the protection of destiny and will be able to conquer Luoyang. Therefore, what we need to do is to add the last fire.  , let him hold on just a little longer.  " Everyone said in unison, eagerly saying: "How to add this last fire?  "Wang Shichong smiled and said: "Starting tomorrow, the civilians in Dongcheng who have been eating the crumbled cakes in the city for a month will be allowed to go to the city. I will let the Tang army see the weakness and lack of food in the city, and let them feel that they can conquer the city.  Luoyang, just one breath away.  " Wei Zheng lost his voice and said: "What, let the common people who eat dirt and dregs of cake go to the city?  Isn't this too dangerous? If the Tang army really wants to attack in an all-out way, I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to wait for reinforcements to reach the city.  "Wang Shichong sneered: "I can't bear to let the children trap the wolf. If we don't let the general of the Tang army see hope, how can we let them stay here?  The Tang army now knows very well that they may not be able to defeat us with a strong attack, but if they are besieged, they can also trap us to death. Therefore, we must now let them know that Luoyang City is short of food and has become unsustainable. Only in this way will they die.  Stay here and won't take a step back!  " Shen Guang curled his lips: "Then what if the Tang army attacks the city with all its strength?  "Wang Shichong smiled and said: "Don't worry, if we defend the city with old, weak and hungry men, the Tang army will not dare to attack at first, and Li Shimin will not really think that we can capture Luoyang. All he needs is an excuse to stay.  "At this point, Wang Shichong curled up his lips and said, "Besides, I think our old friend Dou Jiande can hardly sit still at this moment.  ". a
