Chapter 751: Wang Shichong and Cheng Biting Jin
Looking at the strong shield soldiers, Wang Shichong gritted his teeth, and accompanied by his nephew Wang Renze, climbed the stone steps to the tall city wall of Luoyang City.
Because of the murderous reputation of Tang Pawn, there are many guards on the city wall at this time! Shan Xiongxin basically sent all the soldiers to the city wall!
Now, these people were all huddled together one by one, looking nervously at the Tang camp opposite, and they didn't even know that their own emperor had come here.
Originally, as an insider who guarded Wang Shichong on the city wall.
Wang Ren should raise his arms and shout at this time.
so that everyone may know that their king is now fighting alongside them!
After all, this is of great benefit to both the morale of the army and the establishment of Wang Shichong's prestige!
However, when Wang Ren saw Wang Shichong lying behind the shield, there was no imperial majesty at all.
The words that had already reached his lips were swallowed again.
He just looked at Wang Shichong coldly, watching him look out from the gaps in several shields like a frightened yellow sheep.
As I said before, the walls of Luoyang are extremely tall!
Therefore, the troop transport passage located at the head of the city is even wider, and it is estimated that it is not a problem to even run two four-wheeled carriages side by side.
Wang Shichong climbed up the wall, surrounded by four shieldmen, walked through the wide road of transporting troops, and finally came to the outer female wall, and began to climb the city wall to look out.
At this time, the offensive and defensive sides of the battlefield had died down, so all Wang Shichong saw were scattered stones, broken trebuchets, and a few places of wolf smoke on fire.
Since dawn, this sudden siege has lasted for almost an hour.
However, in terms of intensity, it can only be said to be average, even mild.
Until now, at least, both sides had been greeting with trebuchets and bed crossbows. Except for some particularly unfortunate ones, there were no casualties at all.
Tang Ju
It had now retreated to a clearing a mile away.
At this distance, not only can you see the guard force at the head of Luoyang City, but it is also stuck outside the maximum range of the trebuchet, so that it will not be smashed in the head by someone with a trebuchet halfway through the rest.
"Luo, Cheng, Qin, Li!"
Lying on the head of the city, looking at the few big flags fluttering among the Tang people in the distance, Wang Shichong was almost crazy and almost wanted to bite off a mouthful of white teeth!
For him, Li Shimin came to attack him, and he had nothing to say!
After all, the two sides are enemies who will never die, and they can't fight too much!
But Cheng Biting Jin, Luo Shixin, and Qin Shubao.
They were all their own men!
At the beginning, even if he didn't treat these people like guests, at least he was courteous!
Now, these white-eyed wolves actually bite themselves in turn, how can they not let his eyes crack?!
"Are you...... Emperor... Emperor? ”
Just when Wang Shichong was eager to eat his flesh raw, someone on the city wall finally recognized his emperor!
Frightened, he quickly knelt on the ground and shouted long live!
Wang Shichong was brought back to his senses by this "long live", and most of the originally burning anger suddenly dissipated! He is not stupid, he knows that it is useless to be angry, and now he can only plan other things if he defends the city first!
With a light cough, Wang Shichong stretched out his hand to straighten out his scattered hair, and his expression returned to the appearance of the king of a country.
Standing up straight with his back to the female wall, Wang Shichong held his hands weakly against the soldiers who had already knelt down, and said with emotion: "Sons, please get up quickly!" I have just seen your heroic battle, and my heart is already very happy! These mundane rituals, don't talk about them at this time!
As long as you move forward bravely, you will have the greatest respect for me! In the same way, I must be there for you, cheering you on! When we win this battle, I will be rewarded! ”
It's inspiring! This is probably something that every emperor does.
Even if Wang Shichong was afraid that the Tang pawn behind him would attack again, he still finished these words in the most sincere voice.
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
As soon as Wang Shichong's words fell, on the head of Luoyang, a mountain shouted long live!
The movement was so great that it spread far away to the Tang camp opposite.
Under the banner of the Li character, the stout Cheng Yanjin pinched his ears and looked at the Luoyang City in the distance suspiciously.
"Huh? What's going on there, what's the ghost calling? ”
The dog was on the side of the flag, wiping its precious rhubarb crossbow seriously, and when he heard Cheng Biting Jin's question, he also listened attentively.
Coincidentally, just when the dog was listening, a gust of wind blew from Luoyang City, and the words "long live" were really heard by him!
Shouting "Hurray"? It shouldn't be that Wang Shichong's old turtle came out! The dog smacked his lips and said uncertainly.
"You said that Wang Shichong is at the head of the city? Then why don't you hurry up and show Lao Tzu where he is?! ”
When Cheng Yanjin heard the dog's words, he was stunned at first, and when he reacted, he immediately screamed, hurriedly took out a cloth bag from his chest, and took out a monocular from the cloth bag and put it on his eyes!
"Huh? Why can't you see anything? Bah! How to take it down! ”
Through his baby "clairvoyance", Cheng Biting Jin looked forward vigorously, but the more he looked, the farther away Luoyang City became! When he took the telescope down strangely and looked at it, he realized that he was too excited just now, and he actually took the head and tail of the telescope upside down.
Hurriedly turning the telescope over, Cheng Yanjin immediately looked at Luoyang City again!
In the round field of view of the telescope, the head of the castle, which could only be seen vaguely, has become very clear.
However, although the head of the city became clear, the people who defended the city were still vague, and could only barely distinguish whether it was a person, but as for the appearance, they could not distinguish it at all.
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, Xiao Han's hand-polished simple telescope is still quite different from the military high-definition telescopes of later generations.
"Damn, such a long wall, so many people! Where can Wang Shichong be? If he knew his location, Lao Cheng would have smashed him a few times with the new trebuchet that Xiao Han had made! Let's see if we can get a head! ”
Cheng Yanjin stared at a pair of eyes bigger than a bull's eye, until his eyes were sour, and then he put down the telescope in vain.
His idea is good, alas, such an opportunity is only once.
couldn't figure out Wang Shichong's location, and he preferred not to expose the few fueled trebuchets.
Rubbing his eyes, Cheng Yanjin looked to the east again, where it was as calm as ever, and he couldn't see anything unusual at all.
"Hey, I don't know what happened to King Qin? Did Luokoucang come down in the end! Let me Lao Cheng feint here, isn't it embarrassing for me Lao Cheng?! ”
