Chapter 55: Battle of Luoyang

"It's no wonder that Yun Hao is crazy, and the heirs of the Yun family are difficult. finally has such a son, and the whole family is like a baby like an eyeball. Not only the Yun family baby, but even the father and mother also liked that child very much. If something really happens, the fourth brother's family will not be able to take some life. Li Er listened to Hou Junji's account of what happened in Chang'an.

"That Yang Yuanfang and Yang Mu's father and son, they just came from Shuzhong and didn't know anything. caused such a big disaster in Chang'an, if it weren't for Princess Qi's pregnancy, she would almost be stripped of her title. In this way, Brother Hao was stunned and let people break Yang Mu's leg. It is said that it is difficult to recover in this life, and people in their teens become lame, and this matter is forgotten.

But the one named Ding Yanping didn't know how to run away. His Majesty has already gone to the sea to catch the papers, as long as he does not escape from the pass, I am afraid that if he is caught, he will die. Hou Junji bowed down and introduced the most explosive news in Chang'an to Li Er.

"That guy is kind of funny, we know the skills of the mighty sea. actually brutally injured the vast sea, even if it was a sneak attack. How can a person like the mighty sea be easy to sneak attack? Among our brothers, I think Black Tantou and Second Brother Qin can do it. Cheng Biting Jin chewed Hou Junji's words, he was very interested in that Ding Yanping. In fact, he is interested in anyone who is strong in martial arts.

"Tie Niu is right, this guy can defeat the mighty sea, and his ability must be extraordinary. If our brothers meet, we must keep an eye on it. Niu Jinda echoed on the side.

"Don't talk about that matter, now King Qi is in the army. Lone is ready to take the army and the Xuanjia army to the Tiger Prison Pass to face Dou Jiande, Yin Kaishan, you assist the King of Qi to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to watch Luoyang. We dug three deep ditches, and it was even more difficult for Wang Shichong to come up with them. Li Er said confidently.

Li Er's confidence came from a secret letter in his arms, which was a letter from Wen Daya to him. The incendiary bombs had already been made, and the academy used the fastest speed to produce ten trebuchets. The newly researched incendiary bombs, also loaded with 1,000 bombs, are being escorted to the Luoyang Army under the escort of Sheng Yanshi.

According to Wen Daya, this thing just needs to be thrown out and exploded. It is a lot of erosion, and no matter people, animals, or even stones, they will suffer from the burning of their bodies.

Li Er is looking forward to this kind of magic weapon, in fact, as long as it is something that Yun Hao has come up with, Li Er is very confident. What's more, there is also the veteran Qu Tutong who has seen it with his own eyes. When Qu Tutong told him, Li Er was full of yearning for this thing. Now that all the problems have been solved, as long as you go to the battlefield, it will definitely work wonders.

After explaining the military situation to Li Yuanji, Li Er went to Tiger Prison Pass to meet Dou Jiande. In fact, there is no need to explain military affairs or anything, and all small matters in the army are handled by Yin Kaishan. Event...... The big thing is reported to His Royal Highness King Qi, but the fool knows it. As long as Li Er leaves the barracks, nothing big will happen in the barracks.

Li Yuanji is self-aware, and this time it is not so much about serving before the army. It is better to say that it is a punitive distribution, and Li Yuanji feels a little innocent. But there is no way, who let his father-in-law and brother-in-law who are not long-eyed get into trouble. I only hope that Li Er will win this battle and go back with some military merits.

Thinking about his father's disposition, Li Yuanji was a little chilled. He really wanted to find out if he was born to his father and mother. If it weren't for the eldest brother's intercession this time, the consequences would probably be even more serious. This favor of the eldest brother has to be received! After I go back, I have to give my eldest brother a generous gift.

Li Er's army marched quickly, and quickly reorganized the fortifications after arriving at the Tiger Pass. Five days later, Sheng Yanshi arrived with a thousand incendiary bombs.

There are two types of incendiary bombs, large and small, and the large incendiary bombs are served in sheepskin. It weighs 35 pounds, and the projectile distance is about 300 to 400 steps. The small incendiary bombs were made of rabbit skin and weighed about six to eight pounds. This incendiary bomb could be thrown with a trebuchet at a distance of 800 to 900 paces. If it's downwind, a thousand steps is possible.

If the military situation is urgent, the soldiers can also throw it with their hands. However, Sheng Yanshi solemnly warned Li Er. The guy who chooses to throw small incendiary bombs must have excellent arm strength. Because as long as this thing is thrown out, it will affect within a radius of ten steps. Don't the enemy didn't burn, but burned himself.

Since only 1,000 were very precious, Li Er only selected a large incendiary bomb and a small incendiary bomb for testing. The effect made Li Er very satisfied, if this thing was set on fire. There will be hundreds of casualties as a direct result. The main thing is that when this thing is burned, it will cause great damage to the morale of the enemy.

Hebei is the land of Yan Zhao, and since ancient times, there have been rumors that the world's elite soldiers are all from Zhao. Today, I want to see if the elite soldiers in the world are powerful or the flames are rolling.

After being arranged in the Tiger Prison Pass for half a month, the scout came to report that Dou Jiande had led an army of 100,000 to leave Handan. rushed straight to Luoyang, and Li Er immediately beat the drum and raised the tent to prepare for the battle.

Wang Shichong's mood has obviously improved a lot in the past few days, when he inspected the barracks. continued to spread the news of Dou Jiande's upcoming aid, and the morale of the soldiers also improved somewhat.

Since Li Tang attacked Luoyang, the defeats have been one after another. The cavalry unit that had been built up with great difficulty was almost completely wiped out in just one round. The remnants were cowered in the city due to a lack of fodder. The horses starved to death, and were killed by the soldiers. All of his men, except for a few generals, have become foot soldiers.

The generals who finally got it from Wagang were one except for his son-in-law Shan Xiongxin. Without exception, they all became a member of Li Tang's army, and every time they saw Qin, Cheng, and Niu in the Tang army's camp...... waited for the banner of others, Wang Shichong felt that his heart was blocked. In the end, what is worse than Li Yuan? Why did they all go to Li Tang one by one, and his Wang Shichong's Dazheng was so bad?

The most hateful is Luo Cheng, during his own recuperation. He visits almost every day, and even this can't stop Luo Cheng from defecting to Li Tang.

"Your Majesty! The number of Tang troops on the opposite side seems to have decreased somewhat, and you can see that the number of soldiers patrolling them has not decreased. But it is clear that there are much fewer military stoves that catch fire every day. The minister wondered, is Li Tang going to retire? "Shan Xiongxin observed the outside not for a day or two, but for three or five days. He found that there was a lot less cooking smoke from the military stoves in the Tang army's camp, could it be that Li Tang wanted to withdraw his troops because he was afraid of being attacked from both sides?

"The virtuous son-in-law means ......!"
