Chapter 3 Siege

At dawn, a sharp trumpet sounded, which was a sign of the gathering of troops and generals in the Han Dynasty.

Luo Shixin held the iron spear tightly, his palms and backs were covered with cold sweat, his ears were filled with huge horn sounds. Wherever he saw, the Handong Army lined up in a row, lined up outside the city, ladders, collision cars and other simple siege equipment were ready, and it was only a matter of time before he ordered the siege.

The real battle is about to begin.

Han Eastern Army Camp!

Liu Heita led his generals to look at the shaking Mingshui town in the strong wind. Thinking of the current situation, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Liu Heita went through many great storms in his life: turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and heroes emerged, but the four powerful lords who were truly capable of winning the world were Li Mi, Emperor Tang Li Yuan, Emperor Zheng Shichong, and King Xia Dou Jiande. In addition to Li Yuan, Liu Heita had all been under their hands, and he was doing well. He was a resourceful general with many battles.

After the uprising under the banner of avenging Dou Jiande, Liu Heita first defeated the governor of Beizhou Dai Yuanxiang and the governor of Weizhou. He then defeated the Li Shentong, the King of Huai'an, and the General Manager of Youzhou Luo Yi, captured the brothers of Xue Wanjun alive, and then expelled the famous general Li Shiji, killing him and wiped out all his army and was wiped out only for his own life. Even the Jie Li Khan of the Turks sent the Turkic chief Song Xianna to help him. In just half a year, Li Tang, who was almost invincible, and recovered all the land of Dou Jiande. It was truly awesome. His military victory made the world shake.

But as strong as him, now he has to admit that he has met his nemesis.

Faced with Liu Heita's rise, Li Yuan had to use the first thug who planned to refrigerate... King Li Shimin of Qin.

As Li Shimin pointed out, the scale of victory gradually fell, and Liu Heita was under extremely huge pressure and suffered consecutive defeats. While Li Shimin sent his general Wang Junkuo, Luo Shixin was like a nail to penetrate Mingshui City, the hinterland of the Eastern Han Army, and killed his main army with a partial army. At the same time, he joined forces with Luo Yi to re-occupy the prefectures and counties in Hebei, and had completed the north-south attack on the Eastern Han Army.

How could Liu Heita not know the tactics Li Shimin used after many battles?

But so what if you understand, Li Shimin has always been upright in his military service, dares to fight and kill, and uses open conspiracy as the basis, and conquered the heroes in the world. Even if he is as powerful as Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, he will be captured in one battle?

Li Shimin clearly planned to erode his territory, surround the Han Eastern Army, slowly shrink the encirclement, and finally strangle him to death on the land of Mingzhou.

The key to this tactic is precisely the small city of Mingshui. The small city of Mingshui is located on the north bank of Mingshui, not far from Mingzhou City, located on the east side of Mingzhou, and the terrain is relatively dangerous. Occupying the small city of Mingshui means occupying the beachhead position on the north bank of Mingshui will help the future attack of the Tang army, and at the same time it can further attack the periphery and logistics of the Han East Army. It is a crucial strategic location at that time.

When he learned that Li Shimin and Luo Yi were divided into troops, Liu Heita used the tactic of defeating Luo Yi first and then attacking Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin took action too ruthlessly and quickly, and he immediately took down the small city of Mingshui and forced Liu Heita to return to the army to fight, losing all the initiative.

Li Shimin used his own tactics to be the best, but it seemed that human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. This tactical plan had a small mistake due to unpredictable climate problems. The sudden heavy snow in mid-spring made the small city of Mingshui, east of Mingzhou, become an isolated city.

Liu Heita also seized this opportunity and knew that as long as he could conquer the small city of Mingshui, Li Shimin's strategy would not be achieved. Only by pulling out the nail in his heart could he find the possibility of victory in this disadvantage. He thought that heavy snow fell from the sky and was God helping him, but he never expected that the guard Luo Shixin was as brave as a servant. With hundreds of soldiers facing more than twenty times of their strength, he defended for seven days and seven nights, completely blocking his army outside Mingshui City.

Liu Heita received the latest information yesterday. Luo Yi from the north had already met with Li Shimin. If he didn't take over Mingshui City today, his situation would be even more dangerous.

"Wang Xiaohu, today you are supervising the formation yourself. I don't believe in this evil. This Mingshui City with a big butt can't attack him." Liu Heita issued a loud order to die.

A strong and burly warrior came out, Wang Xiaohu's name was not very good, and he was tall and thin, ordinary, and he could fight and kill, and he fought and fought. He defeated Luo Yi a few years ago, and he ranked first in his achievements. The brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were captured by him. At that time, he was the most powerful general of the Eastern Han Army.

Wang Xiaohu has rich combat experience and organized the city-climbing dead soldiers in a short period of time and launched the first wave of offensives.

The sound of war drums shook the sky.

The small Mingshui city was originally surrounded by water, but long before Luo Shixin accepted Mingshui City, the Han East Army had built two floating bridges. The dead soldiers climbed the city skillfully protected the wooden shield on their upper body, and stepped on the floating bridge and rushed towards the shaking Mingshui City.

Seeing that the Han East Army had reached a distance of about 100 meters, Luo Shixin thought that he had entered the range. He endured the tension in his heart and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

The sparse arrow feathers shot out, taking away six or seven living lives.

The only eighty-six soldiers left beside Luo Shixin were all traumatized, and only about fifty soldiers still had the strength to shoot arrows.

Bows and arrows are powerful weapons to defend the city, but the arrow formation formed by more than 50 people is really pitiful when facing the damage caused by the death warriors who hold wooden shields in the city with about 1,000 people.

After the sparse rain, more than a thousand Han Eastern Army rushed to the front.

In an instant, nearly 60 Han Eastern Army fell to the ground inexplicably, and the rest frequently became unstable in the center of gravity, disrupting the neat and orderly formation of death soldiers climbing the city.

Because they wanted to avoid arrow feathers, they sprinted very quickly, thus neglecting the underground.

Luo Shixin wet the land under the city. Under the influence of the climate, the wetland was covered with a thin layer of frost, which was extremely slippery. The dead men climbed the city and ran on it casually, and there was no reason not to fall or slip.

Luo Shixin was playful and ignorant when he was a child. When he encountered heavy snow, he often poured water at the door of other people's houses to make pranks. When he thought about it by chance, it turned out to be effective.

The Tang army was well-trained and did not need to instruct the archer to take the opportunity to open the bow and arrow, and the bow strings trembled.

The opponent's formation was chaotic, and this round of powerful shooting became much more powerful, and more than 20 people were shot down.
