Finally, I no longer have to fight these demons.

Li Jiancheng looked at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were retreating like a tide, and his heart was filled with gloom and gloom.

After fighting outside the city for so long, although Datang's army had an absolute numerical advantage, it was always at an absolute disadvantage on the scene.

Although the Dragon Kingdom only had 100,000 soldiers and horses, there were almost no casualties in the battle just now. Whether it was the 9,000 special troops or the 100,000 ordinary troops, our own soldiers were unable to break through their defenses.

But in contrast, after this short battle, Datang's two million army lost hundreds of thousands of people. This casualty ratio was really terrifying.

If the fight continues like this, I am afraid that all two million soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, or all three million soldiers, will be killed by the Dragon Kingdom.

It seems that we can only place our hope on defending the city. After all, the siege battle will definitely be more tragic than the battle below the city, so there will inevitably be casualties in the Dragon Kingdom.

Even if the casualties of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would definitely far exceed that of the Dragon Kingdom, it would still be better than losing hundreds of thousands of people in vain but not being able to kill a single enemy.

After all, relying on the strength advantage that far exceeded the number of Dragon Kingdom soldiers, Li Tang still had a chance to kill this powerful Dragon Kingdom army in the city defense battle.

However, Long Guo's subsequent reaction was beyond the expectations of Fang Xuanling, Li Jiancheng and others.

After Datang's army hurriedly retreated to Luokou City, Long Ran did not pursue them and launched an siege based on the strong morale at this time. Instead, he set up camp five miles outside the city, as if he was not in a hurry.

Faced with such operations by the Dragon Kingdom soldiers, Li Jiancheng, Xu Maogong and others looked confused, staring closely at the Dragon Kingdom camp not far away, frowning and thinking about what kind of countermeasures the Dragon Emperor would have.

After a while, Li Jiancheng said: Could it be that they didn't attack the city because they knew they were not good at siege warfare, so they wanted to fight a war of attrition with our army and win by consuming our army's food and grass?"

Li Jiancheng's analysis is not unreasonable. After all, the Dragon Kingdom only has an army of 200,000, which is not a large number of troops. However, it has the support of the entire Jiangdong behind it, which can provide them with a steady stream of food and grass support.

But the Tang Dynasty is different. Three hundred The Wan Dajun is definitely a heavy weapon that can easily defeat all opponents in good times, but once the battle reaches a stalemate, the huge force will become a burden.

After all, three million people, that is, three million mouths, and the daily consumption of food and grass is It can be said to be an astronomical figure. In addition to the food and grass carried by soldiers during normal marches and battles, the food and grass transported from Chang'an and Luoyang every day is actually very slow. And once the food road is robbed, where will the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty without the remaining food be? Still have the strength to fight against the Dragon Kingdom?

After listening to Li Jiancheng's judgment, Xu Maogong frowned and said:"The Dragon Kingdom has the advantage at this time, and its morale is strong. It will not be afraid of our army at all, and there is no reason to consume food and grass to fight with us." The army is fighting, and there may be another conspiracy involved."

Suddenly, Fang Xuanling thought of a terrible problem. He hurriedly said to Li Jiancheng and others:"Your Majesty, we seem to have forgotten that there is a vanguard army in the Dragon Kingdom!"

Li Jiancheng heard this and didn't react for a moment. _To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Fei Lu Xiao
