Chapter 350: Upheaval in the city

Since there are cities in the world, countless cases of failures in siege have begun to appear. As long as the defenders in the city see the banner of reinforcements outside the city, the weak defenders will explode endless warriors in that moment. The army with a rainbow of morale will instantly explode with powerful combat power. The siege army will be greatly depressed at this moment. Therefore, the attack and defense will be defeated with one blow. At least once the two sides meet, the difficulty of siege will increase exponentially.

The most successful siege of the city was when Li Shimin attacked Luoyang Li Shi militia trapped Luoyang City and sent troops to defend all important passes around Luoyang. Li Yuan divided and disintegrated the princes in the rear, and minimized the troops to assist Luoyang Wang Shichong as much as possible. When Dou Jiande personally led a large army to rescue Luoyang, Li Shimin waited for work at Hulao Pass. Defeated the reinforcements and carried the defeated flags of the reinforcements to the city of Luoyang. The defenders in the city immediately collapsed. Once the army was dispersed, it was difficult for the gods to recover immediately. Failure was inevitable.

Tian Lingzi also knew that Shouchun could not defeat it. Although Shouchun City was even stronger than he expected, he decided at the beginning to defeat the rescuers of other vassal states who returned to the rescue. The situation in Shouchun was very different from that of geography and Luoyang where Wang Shichen guarded. However, the method used by Tian Lingzi was similar to Li Shimin.

Li Yuan lured all kinds of anti-kings and made them give up their rescue to Wang Shichong. Tian Lingzi asked his central army to attack Shouchun City. Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong wiped out the troops who came to rescue on the periphery. The effect was the same. They both weakened the strength of reinforcements as much as possible.

Li Shimin defended dangerous passes outside Luoyang City and prevented reinforcements from merging with defenders. There was no such geography around Shouchun City. However, his troops were far more abundant than Xu Wen. He could use his camp to create insurmountable fortresses around Shouchun City.

Dou Jiande led a 100,000 army with great momentum and mighty momentum. As a result, he was defeated in front of the Hulao Pass, where a man was unable to open, and he was still on the outside. An Renyi, the general who came to rescue Shouchun, was more alert than Dou Jiande. An Renyi did not directly set up a formation to fight Tian Lingzi and Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong who guarded Tian Lingzi, made him succeed in one battle. But he could find a way to detour along the Huai River to the south gate of Shouchun City. Tian Lingzi adopted the tactic of three in a circumference and one in a shortage. Therefore, the defense force of the south gate was the weakest. This allowed his 20,000 army to enter Shouchun City smoothly. However, he received Yang Xingmi's orders not to aid Xu Wen, but to wait for an opportunity to kill Xu Wen after entering the city. Finally, he took over the city defense.

Zhang Hao, who was imprisoned in Chang'an, sent a secret report to Yang Xingmi. Xu Wen had already had a rebellion. Yang Xingmi learned from his mistakes and then issued a killing order. An Renyi repeatedly thought about his plan, and there was no flaw.

The plan went smoothly. The army rushed into the south gate with lightning speed. Xu Wen respectfully invited An Renyi into his mansion. An Renyi did finally order to take action. But he could not see the sun the next day. Xu Wen and his son not only did not die, but killed him. It was not until the moment he died that he suddenly realized that Xu Wen was not an easy person. His means were far superior to him. He surrounded the lobby with hundreds of people. How could he not have noticed it at all?

Xu Wenwang and Shouchun City had a heavy expression on his face.

A young general hurriedly walked to his side. The young general was originally very handsome. However, his military uniform had been scraped into silk threads in the dense forest, and he had not washed it for many days. His hair was unkempt. If it weren't for the sword around his waist, he would have looked like a beggar.

"Dad. Today they have already attacked the head of Shouchun City. If we don't fight out, we may not be able to defend Shouchun City. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the city have already received the orders from Jishuai. They refuse to obey their orders and are now searching for us everywhere. But just those mediocre talents, how can we defend Shouchun..." This beggar is Xu Jing. Although they killed An Renyi and successfully escaped. But An Renyi died. And An Renyi's deputy general and his brother. An Renping. An Renping learned that his brother was dead. He quickly mobilized 20,000 troops to control the city defense. After he really controlled the entire Shouchun City, the Xu family's father and son had already escaped. The two of them escaped. The dog of the family was alone and could not roar. What could he make waves? But the most deadly thing was that Xu Wen and his son were also 5,000 troops. This was very difficult.

It is said that Xu Wen betrayed Lord Yang. Will he let this army lurking in the dark open the city gate and surrender to the Tang army? An Renping was very worried. But Xu Wen did not have this intention. He said with concern: "Lord Yang listened to slander and wanted to kill us. Our family in Yangzhou has also been killed. From now on, we should not use it to serve him. This is also considered to be the ultimate righteousness. But thousands of years later, future generations will still think that I, Xu Wen, is a shameless person who sells his owners and seeks honor. Tonight, I will prove to the people of the world that I, Xu Wen, have not yet surrendered to the enemy. It is him, Yang Xingmi, who was blinded by the dog."

"Dad. Are we going to attack Tian Lingzi's central army camp?"

"No. Not only Tian Lingzi, but also Duan Mingyu and Yang Fugong." Xu Wen said slowly.

"What, Dad. Then we have no way to live..."

Xu Wen glared at him suddenly. "Jing'er. Yang Xingmi can look at us like this. But we can't let the people of Jianghuai look at us with this idea."

Xu Jing hurriedly said: "Yes."

He was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Dad. The soldiers have been hiding on this mountain for more than ten days. They eat cold food and drink cold water every day. Many soldiers are already sick. If they continue to waste like this, they may not be able to wait for Tian Lingzi to break the city. We... we have lost 30% of our combat power."

Xu Wen of course understood what it means to lose 30% of his combat power to an army. It is by no means a simple loss of combat power that can be divided into calculating. The loss of 30% of his combat power in an army is enough to defeat the entire army on the battlefield. Its depletion of morale and fighting spirit has brought to the entire army with ties. The impact of combat power reaches at least 70%.

Xu Wen looked up and looked at the sky still didn't say anything.

Xu Jing said again: "The people who are guarding the city are all mediocre talents. After the war over the past ten days, even if the territory is good, the casualties will never be small. If we delay further, even if we successfully attack the people in Shouchun City will destroy the families of many people in Shouchun. What's the point of doing this..."
