Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The meeting ended briefly. In fact, Sun Daiyin just wanted to know everyone's thoughts. No matter what the final result was, Sun Daiyin couldn't decide what to do here.

When the meeting ended, Zhao Wu walked up behind Sun Daiyin and said, "General Sun, I think we need to talk."

Sun Daiyin nodded. Basically, he and Zhao Wu are the ones who can make decisions. Others will most likely choose with them as long as they make a decision.

Situations are stronger than people, aren't they?

Everyone else left, but Zhao Wu looked at Sun Daiyin and said, "General Sun, I can probably guess what you are thinking. You have always been a good official who loves the people like a son."

Zhao Wu and the others must have investigated Sun Daiyin's character. Although this man's combat ability is good, he is a little timid.

So when he asked them what they thought today, he was undoubtedly testing them. Zhao Wu knew very well that if Liaodong City could be solved quickly, it would be of great help to Datang in winning Goguryeo.

"You never let the soldiers make fearless sacrifices, so, General Sun, I want to ask you, do you think we can win this battle?" Zhao Wu asked while looking at him.

Sun Daiyin pondered for a while. He didn't know what Zhao Wu meant, but he still said in a low voice, "Whether we can win or not will be discussed later, but according to General Yuan's intention, we must stick to it until reinforcements arrive."

"No matter how long Datang's siege will take, we must hold on for at least a few months. When Datang's logistics can no longer support us, we will naturally win."

Zhao Wu laughed, Datang logistics can't support it?The premise that Datang’s logistics cannot support is that there is not enough food in Datang’s country, and the food and grass transported are unable to feed a large number of low-level logistics people due to the large amount of consumption on the road.

If it is said that Datang has sufficient food, all the people who help Datang to deliver food can not only eat enough, but also have money to take. Do you believe that the people of Datang can move all the food in Datang here? Come?

What's more, Zhao Wu actually knew more, and the Datang Intelligence Department revealed some of Datang's strength to them, so that they could have more confidence.

Take the transportation of grain and grass as an example. In the former Sui Dynasty, when transporting grain and grass to attack Goguryeo, they transported grain and grass from the inland for thousands of miles or even thousands of miles to Youzhou. .gonЬ

Because there is not much food, the people who deliver the food can only eat a small amount of rations. Even so, the consumption on the road is almost [-]%, and even the distance is as high as [-]%.

And how is Datang transported now?Land transportation is too slow, and there are too few single shipments. Datang directly ships through the powerful sea transportation of Datang, directly from the inland, along the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, or directly from Lingnan Road, Nanyang and other places to direct sea-going ships The food was transported to Jinzhou in the Bohai Sea.

How far is it from Jinzhou to Liaodong City? Just over 300 miles!Moreover, if Datang's army is strong enough to control the entire Liaohe River, then Datang ships can even go directly upstream along the Liaohe River to deliver food to the city of Liaodong!

The consumption of transporting food by boat is too little, let alone [-]% or [-]%, not even [-]%.And the delivery speed is faster than land transportation!

So, you are counting on Datang to be short of food now?

"General Sun, if something cannot be done, you should make the right decision. It is not what you and I want to let the soldiers of Goguryeo die in vain. As for General Yuan, I will speak well for you." Zhao Wu was not too cryptic , but directly opened the mouth.

Zhao Wu's words made Sun Daiyin's eyes light up, and he immediately understood what Zhao Wu meant. The implication of Zhao Wu's words was that he could choose to surrender.

"I will make a decision according to the situation." Sundai Yinguo said.

You can surrender, but you can't surrender directly. If you surrender directly, then he is almost useless to Datang.So how to defend for a few days.

"General Li, do you think they will surrender?" Yuchi Jingde also asked.

"Of course not, at least I won't surrender tomorrow. I'm just giving them a deterrent to make them fear Tang. Everyone is afraid of death, and to be precise, he is a very sensible person. If he doesn't want to make unnecessary struggles, he will definitely be ready to surrender, but he must show his value."

"So he's going to defend our offense for at least a few days before surrendering."

"And once he has the idea of ​​surrender, the deterrence we have created against him today will inevitably spread among the defenders, so he will not stop these rumors from spreading among the defenders, or even among the people. Because only these rumors spread , the talents in the whole city are more inclined to surrender, so that his responsibility will be the least, and he will be picked out." Li Shiji said with a smile.

"Eh... is that so? But what's the use of it?" Yuchi Jingde was a little confused, he fights when he fights, what are these twists and turns for?

"It must be like this, and we will make a contribution tomorrow!" Li Shiji said with a smile.

Just as Li Shiji guessed, since he wanted to surrender, Sun Daiyin had to find a way to make everyone think the same as him, and he didn't stop the rumors on the city wall. Not only was there no organization, Sun Daiyin even secretly sent two or three A confidant, directly exaggerating the rumors.

For example, Datang's bed crossbow can even shoot through city walls!Originally, it was exaggerated enough that this bed crossbow could shoot through the female wall, and it could shoot through the city wall...it is almost a magical weapon, and Sun Daiyin also added some mythological color, such as the fact that there are immortals in the Tang Dynasty, and the weapons and armor are all used by heavenly soldiers and generals past or something.

Therefore, Zhao Wu originally wanted to arrange for people to publicize these things, but before he could do anything, he found that rumors were already flying in the Liaodong City.

In just one night, everyone seemed to know how powerful Datang's bed crossbow was.There is a desperate message in the entire Liaodong City.

Until the next day, when the Datang army lined up in front of Liaodong City again, Li Shiji didn't say anything, because the other party had already sent someone out if they really wanted to surrender, so it was impossible that they had no idea at all.

So with the thundering drums and horns in the Tang army, the archers of the Tang Dynasty showed for the first time a range far beyond the archers of Goguryeo!Although it is not a longbowman, but as long as the shooting range is reached, it can also be thrown!

At the same time as the throwing, the two special carriages were quickly retreated from the formation by Datang's shield soldiers. The carriages were welded with iron frames, and the iron frames were large wooden shields covered with steel plates.

There are two or three people on both sides who can carry the large shields. The soldiers held up the shields covered with steel plates, covering the sky above, blocking all arrow shooting angles, and rushed straight to Liaodong City.

Defense for ten days?Li Shiji looked at Liaodong City, which didn't even have a moat in front of him. The city-breaking mine developed by His Highness may be more powerful than all of you can imagine!Li Shiji personally tested it in Youzhou!
