Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 80

Chapter 10: Winning the Central Plains, Section 80

Up and down the city wall of Luoyang, stone bullets are piled up.

Yuan Shang, Feng Ji, Xianbei and others commanded the soldiers of various departments and 200,000 people to clean up the stone bombs on the ring road as quickly as possible. In order to save time, the judges ordered the people to pile up the stone bullets near Fu Yan in order to strengthen and raise Fu Yan. Under the strong armed attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the defensive facilities outside Luoyang City and on the city wall have all been destroyed, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is very likely to take advantage of the situation to climb the city wall. Once the Northern Frontier Army breaks through the city wall, whether the defenders can continue to block it depends on the thickness of this Fu Yan.

The Northern Xinjiang Army filled in the moats outside the city, and the defenders cleaned up the stone bombs inside the city, and everyone did their own things without interfering with each other.

That night, the full moon hung high, and neither side lit a lighted fire, nor did they shoot at each other, but were still busy with their own business. In the dark night, the officers and men of the Northern Xinjiang Army took turns to fight, and the speed of filling the trenches became faster and faster. The defenders of the city climbed the city walls one after another, doing their best to clear the stone bullets from the walls, and striving to restore the most basic defensive conditions in the shortest possible time.

Regardless of the dissuasion of Feng Ji and others, the trial put a lot of manpower in the direction of Yongmen at the risk that the Northern Xinjiang Army might attack at any time. At this moment, if the stone cannons and ballistae of the Northern Xinjiang Army are launched at the same time, the losses on the city wall will be very amazing. But the judge lost his mind, and did not consider the lives of the soldiers and people, and forcibly drove tens of thousands of people to the city wall. Overnight, under the personal supervision of the judge, the stone bullets on the city wall of the Yongmen section were all cleaned up. Six thousand soldiers entered a defensive position in the early morning and launched an attack on the busy Northern Frontier army beneath the city.

In the rising sun, the war drums were like thunder, the arrows were like rain, and the soldiers of the northern Xinjiang who were filling the moats were suppressed under the indignation and repair, and it was difficult to move an inch.

The Northern Frontier Army immediately returned fire.

The 900 stone cannons on the battlefield in front of Yongmen were the first to roar, and then the 2,000 ballistas on the crossbow platform also let out an earth-shattering roar. After just a few breaths, all the stone cannons and ballistas on the battlefield of the West City Gate roared in the golden morning light, shaking the mountains for a while, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

After a day of silence on the battlefield, it boiled again.

Li Hong, Zhang Yan and other ministers accompanied Xiao Tianzi to the front line of the battlefield quickly.

Lu Yi, Yang Feng, Gao Ran and others hurriedly caught up.

"The rebels resumed their attacks so quickly?" Li Hong looked at the battlefield in front of him and said coldly, "It seems that the time for our bombardment is still a little shorter, and we have not been able to destroy their morale." ”

"How long will it take to advance under the city?" Zhang Yan saw that the assault troops under the city were rapidly retreating under the cover of dense arrows and stones, and immediately turned his head and asked Yang Fengdao, "Is it longer than expected?" ”

"We were really surprised that the rebels were able to fight back so quickly." Yang Feng pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said, "According to the original plan, we will fill in the last moat first." Because in order to push the well through it, the moat must be filled and solid, and the thin trench bridge can no longer support the weight of the well block. In addition, the well had to be advanced to a point of 40 feet (about 9 meters) of the city wall, so that the springboard at the top of it could fall to the city wall accurately, so we had to clean up Feng Yuan and all the stone bullets scattered around Feng Yuan. It will take us about five days or so to do this. ”

"In these five days, we will also break through the front wall of the Urn City." Koji Yi pointed to the ruined Urn City in the distance and said, "The front wall of the Urn City has collapsed for the most part, and we plan to use the rushing car to knock the remnants of the wall open, and then clear a passage to attack the main city gate." ”

Zhang Yan frowned slightly, and waved his hand vigorously, "Concentrate your strength, bombard Yongmen, suppress the enemy on the city wall, and minimize the losses of the assault troops in the advance." ”

Ko Yi and Yang Feng looked at Li Hong.

Li Hong smiled and nodded, "Give you ten days." Bombarded during the day and advanced at night to suppress the enemy's counterattack as much as possible. Ten days later, we landed in the city and conquered Luoyang. ”

At the end of March, Chen stayed on the battlefield.

The rebels attacked Yongqiu continuously for more than half a month without the slightest progress. Chen Liu is in the north of Yongqiu City, only more than 80 miles away from Yongqiu, and he can reach it in one day by marching rapidly. But this day's journey, the coalition army just couldn't get through, and what made Cao Cao especially angry was that Jiangdong's 10,000 troops were still stranded in Huating, unwilling to move closer to Yongqiu.

This time to attack Chenliu in the north, the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army blocked the enemy in the front, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army swam between the Langtang Canal and the Suishui River, frequently threatening the rear and grain routes of the coalition army. In order to ensure the safety of the army, after Cao Cao led the army to Yongqiu City, in the case of an unstable foothold, he asked the Jiangdong Army to deploy in the slippery pavilion by the Suishui River, and the first part of the Yuzhou Army was deployed in the Gaoyang Pavilion in the southwest of Yongqiu City.

There were many battles with the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the generals of the various departments were apprehensive about the power of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, and no one dared to be careless. After the army's grain and grass were safely transported to the city, Cao Cao ordered again, asking the troops stationed at Gaoyang Pavilion and Huating to quickly meet north and join forces to attack the city. But at this time, the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry appeared on the flanks of Gaoyang Pavilion and Huating, eyeing the two armies. The two armies were afraid of being attacked by enemy cavalry during the movement, so they held their own troops.

Cao Cao and Yuan Tan fought for two days. They only had 40,000 horses in their hands, and in the face of the iron bucket-like defense of the northern frontier army in the city, they had nothing to do but look at the sky and sigh. Cao Cao and Yuan Tan urged again. Liu Xian of Gaoyang Pavilion and Sun Ben of Huating replied that Lu Bu was staying with the iron horse, and it was estimated that he would be attacked if he moved slightly, so it was better to wait.

LΓΌ Bu and Mustafa each led an iron cavalry to roam the edge of the battlefield, and although they pinned down the enemy army, they could not break the stalemate. Mustafa asked several times to directly attack the enemy's food routes, but LΓΌ Bu did not agree, and he wanted to find a better opportunity to attack.

By mid-March, Cao Cao couldn't wait. Sun Ben was reluctant to lead the army to rendezvous, to put it bluntly, he wanted to preserve his strength, and was unwilling to help Cao Cao and Yuan Tan attack Chen Liu. At the time of the Central Plains War, Jiangdong had already suffered a big loss, and this time he said that he would not repeat the mistakes of the past. As for Liu Xian's reluctance to come, of course it was Yuan Tan's idea. Yuan Tan has such a small number of people in his hands, and one less person dies, since Cao Cao beat Chen Liu for Yanzhou, then there is no need to do his best. Let's leave some strength to turn back and fight Yingchuan.

Cao Cao was helpless and threatened Yuan Tan, if you don't transfer Liu Xian's army to Yongqiu City, Lao Tzu will withdraw and won't play with you. Last time, I negotiated to pay a daughter with Beijiang, but this time I will pay another one. Yuan Tan saw that Cao Cao was furious, and he was a little panicked, and hurriedly asked Liu Xian to lead the army to the meeting. Liu Xian's army left Gaoyang Pavilion, and the horns were broken, and the flanks of Huating lost their protection, exposing them to the attack of the iron cavalry of the northern frontier.

In late March, Cao Cao gathered an army of 50,000 to attack Yongqiu again. A few days later, due to the lack of armament, Cao Cao asked the general Wang Zhong to rush to the slippery pavilion with 3,000 men and horses, nearly 10,000 people and hundreds of baggage vehicles. Since your Jiangdong Army doesn't want to fight, it's useless to leave a lot of ordnance, so lend it to me first, and then allocate some grain and grass by the way.

Lu Bu seized the opportunity. Due to the tight schedule, he was unable to inform Mustafa's main army, and only launched the attack with eight hundred horsemen.

Yongqiu was only thirty miles away from Huating, which was too close, and Wang Zhong and his subordinates were a little careless, and they were attacked by Lu Bu on the way back to the camp. The Xuzhou army was caught off guard and swept by the iron cavalry of northern Xinjiang, with all the dead and wounded. Wang Zhong fled in the wilderness, unfortunately met Lu Bu, was pierced by Lu Bu's halberd, and died on his horse.

Lu Bu roared away with eight hundred people, and he didn't even burn the grain, grass and ordnance.

Sun Ben of the Slippery Pavilion was taken aback when he got the news. The place where the accident happened was only ten miles away from the slippery pavilion, and he had to send troops to take a look at it anyway, make a show, and transport the grain, grass and ordnance back by the way, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Cao Cao. Everyone is a relative, so we can't be too ruthless.

Sun Ben asked Cheng Pu to guard the camp, and he and Sun Fu set off with 3,000 men. When he arrived at the place of the accident, the people had already run away without a trace. Sun Ben ordered 3,000 soldiers to immediately drive back to the camp with the baggage cart, and he took a team of guards to ride around the battlefield. Wang Zhong's body was found, but his head was gone. When Sun Ben was lamenting that people have good fortune and misfortune, there was a sudden chaos ahead, and Lu Bu's eight hundred horsemen suddenly came out of the beach of the Suishui River. The Jiangdong army's soul was scattered, and he ran away, but where could two legs run more than four legs, and flesh and blood flew in a blink of an eye. Sun Fu ran the fastest, but Lu Bu's arrows were faster, one bow and three arrows, and the three arrows shot into Sun Fu's back in unison. Sun Fu fell from his horse and died on the spot.

Sun Ben held his brother's corpse and looked up to the sky and howled, he seemed to be crazy, and chased all the way with his personal guards, but Lu Bu and his eight hundred soldiers were like the wind, and they had long since disappeared.

This time, when the cavalry of Northern Xinjiang left the battlefield, they did not forget to ignite the grain and grass.

Cheng Pu, who stayed in the Huating camp, was shocked when he heard the news, and hurried out of the camp with 3,000 men and horses to respond. Cheng Pu rushed to the battlefield and saw Sun Ben holding his brother's corpse, staring blankly at the burning grain and grass, bursting into tears and pain. But more painful blows followed, his large battalion was attacked by the iron cavalry of the Changshui Battalion in northern Xinjiang, and the battlefield of Huating was littered with corpses.

Ever since Liu Xian's army left Gaoyang Pavilion, the Jiangdong Army of Huating has become the prey of Mustafa's thoughts. He wandered along the Suishui River with his army, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

The news that Sun Ben and Cheng Pu had led their troops to leave the barracks quickly reached Mustafa's ears, and Mustafa did not hesitate and killed the slippery pavilion with four thousand iron horsemen. There were also 4,000 Jiangdong soldiers in the camp of the Slippery Pavilion, and they were looking at the smoke in the distance with trepidation, who knew that bad luck was quietly coming. The roar of the rushing iron cavalry army made the Jiangdong army collapse instantly, and the four thousand fugitives were ruthlessly crushed into powder like grass mustard under the pursuit of the four thousand iron cavalry.

Sun Ben and Cheng Pu fled to Yongqiu with the remaining more than 4,000 people.

Cao Cao was extremely shocked. Most of the Jiangdong army was destroyed within half a day, Sun Fu was killed, his general Wang Zhong and 3,000 soldiers were killed, a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance were burned, and this battle was lost before entering the **.

"Lu Bu, I swear to you that I will not be separated." Cao Cao smashed his fist on the case, and shouted angrily, "Fight, give me a siege, siege ......"

In the second half of March, the Yingchuan battlefield.

General Li Feng Jiang Wu fought for a long time in the southwest battlefield of Yingchuan without success.

Deng Yi and Pang Ji defended tightly and did not give Jiang Wu any chance to sneak attack at all. Although the Jingzhou army was exhausted under the frequent harassment of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry was also exhausted because they traveled through the mountains and forests day and night.

Mid-March. Kuai Yue launched another attack in the direction of Luyang.

At this time, Yan Liang received the news of the battlefield of Chenliu, and Lu Bu told him that because the rebels had an obvious advantage in strength and were impeccable in attack and defense, he would not be able to find the flaws of the rebels in the short term, and he might not be able to hold Yongqiu, and asked him to strengthen the defense in the direction of Yanling and Xuchang as much as possible, so as not to flank the rebels from east to west.

Yan Liang hurriedly told Guangcheng Pass, ordered Guangwu Zhonglang to lead Zheng Bao to lead 5,000 men and horses to sit in the pass, and ordered Yang Wei general Ji Ling to lead 5,000 men and horses to support Xuchang. Ji Ling led the army to Xiangcheng in a hurry, and when he was about to enter Xuchang in the east, Yan Liang came to give an urgent order again, asking him to rush to Yecheng immediately. Zhenwei General Xiao Lei was seriously wounded in the fierce battle, and the defense of Kunyang and Yecheng was in jeopardy.

Ji Ling rushed to Yecheng overnight to command the battle. Jiang Wu explained the battle situation in detail. The attack and defense of the Jingzhou army were not leaky, Deng Yi defended the camp, Pang Ji attacked, the two cooperated tacitly, and the Northern Xinjiang Army was at a loss and could only fight to the death.

The situation in the southwest battlefield of Yingchuan is directly related to the Luyang battlefield, if the Jingzhou army breaks through Yecheng and Kunyang and kills the Rushui River, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Luyang battlefield. On the contrary, if this rebel army is defeated, the unfavorable situation on the Yingchuan battlefield will be completely reversed. Ji Ling thought about it for a long time and decided to abandon Yecheng and lure the rebels to Kunyang to encircle and annihilate them.

"Kunyang is the blessed land of the Han Dynasty. In that year, Emperor Guangwu led 10,000 reinforcements and defeated Wang Mang's 420,000 rebels under Kunyang City, laying the cornerstone of Zhongxing's great cause in one fell swoop. Ji Ling said with a smile, "Although we can't make great feats with fewer victories like Emperor Guangwu, at least we can defeat the Jingzhou army with more victories, stabilize the Yingchuan battle situation, and help the general conquer Luoyang." ”

Ji Ling's strategy of encirclement and annihilation was agreed by Yan Liang, and Ji Ling was authorized to requisition troops.

In the second half of March, Jiang Wu's 5,000 iron cavalry, Ji Ling's 5,000 reinforcements, Lu Mian and Liu Pi's 10,000 troops, Kunyang Xiang Tao's 5,000 men and horses, and Yingyang Zhao Hu's 5,000 troops, a total of 30,000 cavalry troops, entered the south bank of Kunshui and set up an ambush.

Ji Ling withdrew from Yecheng and led 5,000 men and horses to retreat to Kunyang.

The Jingzhou army was stationed in Yecheng. Deng Yi defended the city, and Pang Ji led 10,000 forward troops to continue to advance.

Yecheng is about fifty miles away from Kunyang, but there are two rivers in between, there is Lishui out of Yecheng, and there is Kunshui in Kunyang. When Pang Ji led his army to the Kunshui River, he fell into a siege, and an army of 30,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 iron cavalry launched a fierce attack on him.

Pang Ji commanded the army with its back to the Kunshui River, swore to block it to the death, and asked Deng Yi for help. Deng Yi was shocked and led 15,000 men and horses out of the city to rescue, but Jiang Wu led 2,000 iron horsemen to seize the Lishui Bridge and burned the pontoon bridge.

Pang Ji led the army to hold out until dusk. The Northern Xinjiang Army attacked overnight, and the Jingzhou Army saw that there was no hope for rescue and collapsed in the middle of the night. Pang Ji was killed in battle, Jingzhou generals Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were killed in battle, thousands of soldiers drowned, and the Jingzhou army was annihilated.

The Northern Xinjiang Army was non-stop, and under the command of Ji Ling, they rushed to Yecheng.

Deng Yi saw that the Northern Xinjiang army was overwhelmingly slaughtered to the Lishui River, and knew that Pang Ji had been defeated, so he led the army to withdraw to Wancheng in a panic.

In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty (202 AD), April.

On April, Luoyang.

The Northern Frontier Army spent ten nights removing all obstacles from the city wall forty feet away from the base of the city in a three-mile stretch centered on Yongmen. The front wall of the urn city outside the Yongmen and the stone bullets inside the city were also piled up on both sides of the urn city, and the passage to attack the city gate was unimpeded.

The rebels in the city already sensed that the danger was getting closer, and although they were willing to prevent the Northern Army from clearing the obstacles under the wall, they had lost all the defenses that attacked the dead corners of the wall. They could only stay behind Fu Yan, enduring the torment of fear and pain. And every night, they have to brave the dense arrows of the Northern Xinjiang Army to climb the city tower to clean up the stone bullets smashed by the stone cannons of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the city wall during the day, leaving the last bloody place for the Northern Xinjiang Army to block the Northern Army.

Day after day, the defenders and civilians of the city became more and more desperate and depressed, more and more restless in the face of the looming death, and some even began to storm and loot the palace.

Yuan Shao's condition is getting worse and worse, and now he is in a coma basically every day, and his life is leaving this once dominant figure little by little.

The young Yuan Shang grew up under his father's wings, and his endurance was very fragile, and as his father's life gradually passed, and as the hope of Luoyang City's survival gradually faded, he could not bear it. His body became thinner and thinner, his face became paler, his eyes became more and more dull, and his mood became more and more depressed. On several occasions he had lost control of the deliberations of the civil and military officials, nervously helpless, and yelled in despair.

People's eyes were no longer fanatical, no longer confident, no longer hopeful, and everyone was very indifferent, looking at everything in Luoyang City sadly, as if all this had nothing to do with them anymore. Many generals and subordinates have given up. They indulge themselves wantonly, soak themselves in wine jars, and throw their lives away from God.

One day, the judge, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. I received news that the armies of Cao Cao, Yuan Tan and Sun Quan had conquered Chenliu and Xingyang and were attacking Tiger Pass. Liu Biao's army has conquered Yingchuan and is attacking Otani and Yique Pass. Liu Bei's army had conquered Chencang and was besieging Chang'an. The Northern Xinjiang Army was attacked on all sides, it was difficult to support, and it was soon to retreat.

The eyes of the people were extremely cold, even with a hint of bitterness and pity.

Yuan Shang jumped up in surprise, his voice trembled, and he asked loudly, "Where did this news come from?" Who sent it in? Is it my brother? ”

The judge took out a crumpled white silk stained with maroon blood from his arms, "It was sent by your second brother, and he is now leading the army to attack Yique Pass." We'll be able to defeat the Northern Frontier Army in no time. ”

Yuan Shang snatched the white silk, looked at the familiar font on it, and cried with joy. Suddenly, he held up the white silk and shouted hoarsely, "Reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming......"

Yuan Shang rushed out, crying and screaming like a madman, "Reinforcements have arrived......"

The guards in the palace cheered, then the soldiers and people on the long street cheered, and then Luoyang City cheered.

"Dong Dong Dong ......" The excited and excited drum body shook the sky, Luoyang boiled, Luoyang people cheered, Luoyang people saw the hope of survival, and saw the victory flag flying high in the blue sky.

Yuan Wei gently stroked his gray beard, sighed lowly, and tears quietly rolled down.

Xin Ping walked to the window and listened to the cheers in the city, and his heart trembled. Suddenly, he walked up to the judge, glared at him fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "Why do you want so many people to be buried with you?" They have parents, wives and children, and hope to live, so why would you kill them? ”

The judge closed his eyes in pain. Xin Ping's hand slammed into the hilt of the sword. More than 20 civil and military officials in the lobby looked at the trial together, their eyes were extremely complicated, but no one spoke.

Feng Ji stood up and pushed Xin Ping away hard. He was worried that Xin Ping would lose control, so he drew his sword in a rage and killed the judge.

"Why?" Xin Ping raised his hands and shouted in mourning, "We have no way out, why do you want to let more than 200,000 innocent people bury us with us, why?" ”

Xin Ping couldn't control it anymore, and tears poured out.

"Ah......" Xin Ping was like a wounded beast, suddenly howling miserably, hugging his face and crying bitterly.

The judge opened his eyes and slowly stood up, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone's faces one by one.

"Does anyone want to surrender?" The tone of the interrogator was extremely cold and chilling, and then he suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly in a hoarse voice, "Who wants to surrender? ”

"There are the tombs of the emperor outside Luoyang City, and there is the heartbeat of Lord Yuan in Luoyang City, who can surrender?"

The judge waved his arms and slashed down like a sharp sword, "The Han has been overturned, Sheji has been defeated, we can't fight for the Han in life, we should defend the undead for the Han in death, and fight to the end......"

The civil and military officials in the hall were provoked by the roar of the trial, and at the same time stood up, raised their arms and shouted, "Fight to the death......

On the third day of the fourth month, 5,000 stone cannons and 20,000 ballistae of the Northern Xinjiang Army launched a frantic attack on Luoyang City at the same time.

The general ordered to requisition 20,000 elites of the Northern Army to rush to the Xicheng battlefield to participate in the offensive operation.

The general ordered that two hundred giant wells and five giant carts should be transported to the Xicheng battlefield immediately.

The general ordered 6,000 of the strongest soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army to put on the best armor, put on the best battle helmets, take the sharpest weapons, and prepare to fight in the city.

The general ordered to shoot the book in the city and persuade him to surrender for the last time.

On the night of the third day of the first month of April, the Northern Xinjiang Army continued to attack, burning flint bullets filled the sky, and flames rolled over Luoyang.

The judge took the letter of persuasion handed over by Zhu Ling, and was about to throw it into the fire. Feng Ji stretched out his hand to block it, "The Northern Xinjiang Army is about to enter the city, this should be Li Hong's last letter of persuasion to surrender, see what he wrote." ”

The judge sneered and threw the letter to Feng Ji. Feng Ji took a rough glance, and his face changed suddenly. Then he threw the letter out of Fu Yan as fast as he could. The letter swirled in the air and fell into the flaming trench.

The judge kept his mouth shut tightly and said nothing. Zhu Ling glanced at Feng Ji, who was panting violently, and turned around to leave.

"Zhengnan, you're wrong." Feng Ji smiled bitterly, "All the reinforcements failed. ”

The judge looked up at the gorgeous "Star Dou" on the black screen, and suddenly smiled: "Yuan Tu, we can see such a beautiful night scene before we die, it's worth this life." ”

Feng Ji looked up at the sky and smiled, "It's a pity that adults can't see ......" Feng Ji's words didn't fall, and tears rolled out in an instant, "Adults' lives are like these burning meteors, falling, extinguishing, disappearing......"

"Everyone is going to die, so why care if it has ever burned fiercely." The judge shook his hand, and walked away without looking back, "Let's sleep well tonight and fight tomorrow." ”

On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the morning sun is rising, and the sun is shining.

The stone artillery and ballista of the Northern Xinjiang Army continued to bombard.

On the battlefield of Xicheng, one hundred and twenty huge wells stand majestically and magnificently. In front of the battlefield facing Yongmen, a huge rushing car was like a behemoth beast ready to attack, lying on the ground, looking coldly at the prey in front of it.

Underneath the wells and chariots were sections of logs, one at every ten feet, that were laid down to the base of the city wall and the city gate.

Behind the wells and the rushing cars stood a team of heavily armed soldiers. New armor and sharp weapons shone brightly in the glow of the sun.

Behind them was a huge earthen platform, and the stone cannons on the earthen platform and the ballista on the ballista platform were making the final cover for the attack.

Behind the earthen platform, more than 100,000 troops lined up in turn, and the flags fluttered, which was magnificent.

Passages were opened between the phalanx, and the people were driving their wagons and transporting all kinds of ordnance to and fro.

In the middle of the army is Shuaitai. At the highest point of the handsome platform, the little Tianzi wore a helmet and armor, holding the command flag, standing proudly.

On the handsome platform, the general Li Hong, the left guard general Li Yi, the right guard bridge army Zhang Yan, the rear general Yushi, the right general Yang Feng, the guard general Jia Xu and other civil and military ministers stood side by side, looking at the battlefield ahead with a solemn expression.

"That's it." Zhang Yan looked up at the rising sun, and arched his hand at Li Hong, "General, give the order." ”

Li Hong waved his hand vigorously and shouted loudly: "Order, assault troops go upstairs." ”

"Knock knock ......" The war drums of a hundred faces beat at the same time, and the drums thundered in an instant, shocking the earth.

The green dragon ordered the flag to rise into the air, and the green dragon with teeth and claws churned violently in the air, as if it was about to ride away from the clouds.

Long Xiang General Zhao Yun adjusted his armor, and then smiled at the energetic soldiers, "Brothers, follow me...... Upper Castle Tower......"

Zhao Yun was the first to rush up the spiral ladder and quickly climbed towards the shack at the top.

Fifty thugs followed, roaring upward.

Wuwei General Wen Chou stood on the platform at the bottom of the well, raised his arms, and shouted wildly: "Brothers, pick up arms and follow me into Luoyang City......"

The "killing ......" soldiers roared like thunder, and one by one they walked like a fly, rushing up the well.

General Wu Yi Gao Ran walked up to Xiao Hei and tied the silk rope under his battle helmet for him.

"Are you all ready?" Gao Ran asked calmly.

"I am willing to follow the lord to fight to the death...... Huang Tong excitedly raised his sword, turned around and shouted at his brothers, "Take out your eggs and kill our prestige......"

"No Death, No Return ......"

"Let's go......" Gao ran his hands behind his shoulders and strode towards the well.

Xu Huang, the general of the conquest, stood on the edge of the upper shack of the well, looked at the dense crowd below, and let out a long breath.

The old man leaned crookedly on the edge of the shack, and stretched out half of his head tremblingly. "My lord, this is so high, if this falls, it is estimated that it will be a piece of meatloaf."

"I'm ......" Lao Song spat at him fiercely, "What are you saying frustrating words, cursing us to death?"

The thugs in the shack suddenly scolded.

The old crooked eyebrows were upside down, and he raised his hand and roared loudly, "Who dares to scold?" Who dares to scold? scolded Lao Tzu again and threw him down. ”

Xu Huang laughed and slammed the door of the shack hard, "Brothers, let's kill people and ......"

The thugs of the salt cavalry battalion gathered around the rushing cart.

Qin Yi, the general of the Yue cavalry, jumped on the rushing car with all his might, and shouted wildly at the sky: "Brothers, push hard, use the strength of the milk, push it......"

The dumb man and nearly a hundred thugs roared wildly, but no one helped.

Zhonglang stood Chen Wei in the back and laughed and scolded. "The order to attack hasn't been given yet, if anyone dares to push, it is estimated that he will not even have the strength to feed."

Qin Yi's screams stopped abruptly, and he glared at his subordinates around him in extreme annoyance, as if he was going to eat them alive, "Wait a minute, if anyone doesn't make a effort, Lao Tzu will chop him up and eat them raw." ”

The stone artillery and ballista of the Northern Xinjiang Army stopped firing.

"Rush up, rush up...... "The judge pointed his sword forward, hoarse. Remove the stone bullets, remove the stone bullets immediately, the enemy is going to attack, ...... quickly"

The war drums sounded, and thousands of soldiers rushed to rush over Fu Yan and quickly climbed the city wall.

Tens of thousands of people followed, lined up in long lines, ready to transport the stone bullets on the city wall to Fu Yan in the shortest possible time.

The soldiers who rushed to the city wall were stunned, and there was a dead silence on the city wall for a moment.

"Hurry, hurry, what are you waiting for?" Feng Ji panted away from the crowd and stretched out his head to look out of the wall.

Feng Ji suddenly stopped, and even the expression on his face froze at this moment, his eyes slowly widened, his eyes became more and more terrifying, and suddenly, a terrible cry shot out from his open mouth, "Enemy, the enemy is attacking the city......"

There was no reaction from the busy crowd under the city. The enemy is attacking the city every day, what is there to be afraid of? Reinforcements will arrive soon, and this kind of hard life will not last for a few days.

More and greater cries of terror rang out everywhere, and the soldiers who were extremely frightened rushed behind the female wall on the other side, shouting at the city in a continuous manner, "The enemy is attacking the city, attacking the city......

One of the soldiers beside Feng Ji suddenly seemed to go crazy, screaming and jumping, completely losing his mind. Feng Ji kicked him, "What's it called?" Quick, move the stone bullets away, vacate the wall, fight to the death, fight to the death......"

The drums beat rapidly, and the soldiers on the city wall seemed to be all awake, and rushed to the stone bullets piled up on the top of the city wall with incredible speed. Some didn't have time to pass it, so they simply threw the stone bullets outside or inside the city, and for a while, the city walls were full of crazy roaring crowds.

Yuan Shang, Xianping, Xin Ping, Gao Rou, Zhu Ling and others rushed to the city tower one after another. After everyone saw the behemoths lined up on the battlefield, they were all shocked, gasped, and trembled.

"What should I do?" Feng Ji put his head in the shooting hole of the women's wall, looked at the giant well and the giant rushing car outside the city, and shouted angrily, "What should we do? ”

The Northern Army's giant wells were obviously higher than the city walls, and once these wells were connected to the top of the city walls, the Northern Army could kill them directly from the shacks at the top of the walls. Subsequently, the Northern Xinjiang Army will use the well as a ladder to continuously send more soldiers to the top of the city wall, and the Northern Xinjiang Army will not be able to stop it by relying on people.

"Gather reinforcements and fill them with people." The judge didn't think about it, and said in a cold voice, "Immediately recruit elite strong men from the people and equip them with weapons." We swear to the death to stop the enemy, there is no choice. ”

"Zhengnan ......" Xin Ping grabbed him, "You calm down." No matter how many of us there are, no matter how many dead bodies we fill with, we can't stop their attacks. ”

"So what do you say?" The long sword in the judge's hand stabbed Xin Ping's throat, "You'd better not force me to kill you." ”

Xin Ping sighed and gently pushed away the long sword of the trial, "I will take Lord Yuan to retreat to the palace. Then he grabbed Yuan Shang, "I want to take him with me, I can't let him die here." ”

The judge looked at Yuan Shang, who was colorless, his heart softened, and the sword in his hand hung down to the ground, "You promise me that you can't give up until the last moment." ”

Xin Ping let go of Yuan Shang and looked at the trial angrily, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

"Xianrong is still in prison, please take him to the palace with you."

Xin Ping felt a pain in his heart, and nodded vigorously, "Zhengnan, Yuantu, you take care." ”

The general Li Hong turned to face Xiao Tianzi and bowed to salute, "Your Majesty, please give the order, you can attack." ”

Xiao Tianzi's excited face turned red, he raised the order flag high with both hands, shook it vigorously three times in the air, and then waved it down, "Kill ......"

"Knock knock knock ......" The war drums under the handsome stage beat again.

"Knock knock ......" more than 100,000 troops, nearly a thousand war drums instantly beat at the same time, and the huge war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Kill ......" More than 100,000 soldiers shouted at the same time, and the roar was like a landslide and the ground cracked, rumbling and shaking the earth.

Luoyang City trembled violently under the deafening roar of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"Kill...... Ah......" A group of soldiers from northern Xinjiang rushed to the well like a tide.

The huge well began to kick in and began to move slowly in the direction of the city.

"Brothers...... Push...... Push ......" Qin Yi's shout had long been drowned out by the roar on the battlefield, but he was still screaming and roaring unwillingly.

The car roared, and it got faster and faster, gradually soaring into the air with its hooves, and whistling away towards its prey. Jump to
