Chapter 0971 - Breaking the City
Gao Ran braved the rain of arrows to find Lan Yu and said to him: "Zibi, kill it now, and send it to death." The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info immediately told Hansheng and Chonggui to stop the attack and stick to the city wall. ”
Lan Yu squatted behind the female wall, looking into the city through the shooting hole, her sword eyebrows locked. Although the city wall is very high, it can suppress the crossbow platform and Fu Yan in the city. However, the terrain of the attack under the city was too narrow, and the assault troops were blocked in front of the trenches and Fu Yan, and they would become a living target for the rebel archers, and as many as they died.
"Yongmen is our main direction of attack, and it is also the main direction of defense of the rebels, the defense here is too strong, and it will take time for us to break through." Lan Yu turned his head to look at Gao Lan, "Brother Zhengguan, you and Brother Chonggui each take a thousand elite soldiers to the Shangxi Gate and Guangyang Gate. Cooperate with the assault troops that arrived there in advance to capture the city gate, and strive to let the main force of the army enter Luoyang City in the shortest possible time. ”
"Okay." Gao Ran stretched out his hand to pat Lan Yu and said, "Don't worry, we have already captured the city wall, and the defeat of the rebels is imminent, so it is only a matter of time before they enter the city." ”
"I know." Lan Yu smiled gratefully and said, "Avoid heavy casualties as much as possible, there is no need to let the soldiers fall on the city wall now." When you get to the upper west gate, if you break through the difficulty, don't go on the offensive. ”
Gao Ran bowed his hand.
After Yang Ye, who was on the south side of Yongmen, got the news, he rushed to Guangyangmen with a group of people.

After Li Yi read the urgent report from the front, while handing the letter to Yue Fei and Xu Da, he turned his head and asked Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, how many of us have gone up to the city tower?" ”
"There are about 20,000 people, and the exact number is still to be investigated." Xu Shu asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? Why didn't the assault continue to attack the city? ”
"The rebels dug a trench in the city and built a trench to form a defensive layout within a city, and the assault force was blocked on the city wall." Li Yi explained the situation in the city a little, "Lan Yu asked Gao Ran and Yang Ye to go to the Shangxi Gate and Guangyang Gate to command, trying to open the situation from both sides, but I think it is very difficult. Since the rebels knew that the West City Gate was our main direction of attack, they naturally deployed heavy troops on this side. If the assault force attacked in such a narrow place, the casualties must have been staggering. ”
"My lord, pause the attack." Xu Da held the urgent report in his hand, waved his hand and said, "We have captured the western city wall, which means that we have already taken Luoyang City, there is no need to worry, so as not to force the rebels to be cornered and burn Luoyang City." ”
"You can't stop, keep attacking." Yue Fei snorted coldly, interrupted Xu Da's words, and said, "Tell Wei Yan to immediately break through the inner city gate, and attack Lan Yu up and down, and break through Fu Yan." Tonight, we must enter Luoyang City. ”
"General, wait a little longer, if you want to hurry, you won't be able to reach it." Xu Maogong whispered.
Li Yi thought for a moment, then waved his hand resolutely and said, "Attack, continue to attack ......"
Xu Da and Xu Maogong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Tell Lan Yu that the soldiers on the city wall will shout to the city, saying that Yuan Shao is dead, Cao Cao is also dead, Liu Bei is also dead, Yuan Tan is also dead, the rebels are all defeated, and the day of peace in the world is just around the corner." Li Yi sneered, "I don't believe it, I have hit the city wall, and the rebels can continue to hold on." Call me ......."
………………
At noon, Nangong, Mingguang Palace.
Yuan Shao was withered, emaciated, lying on the couch, motionless.
Yuan Shang knelt beside the couch and cried softly. Yuan Ba, Yuan Hui, Yuan Min, Yuan Zhong, Chen Lin and others surrounded them, looking sad.
Suddenly, Yuan Shao snorted lightly and slowly opened his eyes.
The crowd was amazed and delighted, and hurried around them.
"Father......" Yuan Shang gently shook Yuan Shao's arm and shouted softly, "Father, how are you?" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth, he tried his best to open his mouth, and spit out a few words with difficulty: "Xianfu...... Xianfu ......"
Yuan Shang cried with joy and cried repeatedly: "Father, I'm here, I'm here." ”
"Xianfu...... Xianfu ......" Yuan Shao's eyes looked straight up, and he kept calling Yuan Shang, his voice getting smaller and quieter, and gradually became inaudible.
Yuan Shang suddenly found that his father had closed his eyes and no longer had any breath.
"Father......" Yuan Shang exclaimed, hugged Yuan Shao, and cried loudly, "Father ......"
Yuan Hui was in tears and sat down on the ground.
Yuan Ba, Yuan Min, Yuan Zhong, and Chen Lin knelt down and burst into tears.
………………
In the afternoon, Yongmen.
"Boom, boom......"
The crashing sound of the car was continuous. The loud noise terrified the soldiers in the city.
On the city wall, the shouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army came and went. Yuan Shao is dead? Cao Cao is also dead? Liu Bei is also dead? Yuan Tan is also dead? So who will save Luoyang? Where are the reinforcements?
Standing on Yongmen Avenue with a long sword, looking at the dilapidated city towers in the distance, looking at the frightened soldiers around him, looking at the terrified people, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Dahan, who will save Dahan?" ”
"Boom ......"
The inner city gate was finally torn apart under the scorching fire and the continuous impact of the rushing cars.
"Shoot, shoot......" Gao Rou jumped up, raised his gun and shouted wildly, "Block the Northern Frontier Army, block them." ”
"Ignition, ignition......" Feng Ji rushed to the top of Fu Yan and smashed the torch in his hand into the trench. The trench was covered with firewood and grass, sprinkled with fire oil, and the flames rose to the sky in an instant, and the billowing smoke enveloped the entire Yongmen in a blink of an eye, and nothing could be seen except the roaring arrows and the earth-shattering sound of killing.
The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang in the door hole were choked by the smoke and fell backwards again and again, at a loss.
Wei Yan was so angry that he scolded, and he was anxious to go back and forth under the city gate.
The thick smoke in the city rose suddenly, causing Li Yi, Yue Fei, Xu Da and others to change color, and they rushed down the handsome platform one after another, beating their horses and galloping down the city.
Yue Fei took the lead, rushed to the city gate first, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" Was it the enemy who set fire to the city? ”
"No, the enemy lit the firewood and grass in the trench to prevent us from attacking." Wei Yan and Ma Zhong hurriedly caught up and explained to Li Yi and the others, "We can't rush in, there is no way at all." ”
Li Yi took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, turned over and jumped under the horse.
"Lord, let's take it easy." Xu Da persuaded again, "If you push the enemy into a hurry, anything can happen." Once Luoyang is burned, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"Lord, persuade to surrender, immediately persuade to surrender." Xu Maogong, Zhuge Liang and others hurriedly surrounded them, and they persuaded again and again.
Li Yi thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, okay, persuade to surrender immediately." Quickly, give the order, and shoot the letter of persuasion to the city again. Let the soldiers shout loudly, those who descend will not die, and those who descend will not die. ”
Yue Fei covered his nose and stood near the doorway and looked into the city. He wanted to take a closer look at the terrain, but the smoke was so great that he choked on him and coughed violently, so he had to retreat angrily under Wei Yan's persuasion.
"Hit, give me a hard beat......" Yue Fei waved his horsewhip and roared loudly, "Give me an immediate kill." ”
"General Yue, there are trenches and Fu Yan in the city, and you can't kill them for a while." Wei Yan had a cold face and said murderously, "The general will extend the time a little, even if I fill it with dead corpses, I will kill it in the middle of the night." ”
"What kind of corpse to fill in? You don't have a brain, do you? Yue Fei glared at a pair of eyes, pointed to the giant rushing car under the city gate and said, "Unload the ramming hammer and push the base of this rushing car over, this is the bridge, you will step on this bridge and kill it." ”
Wei Yan turned his head to look at the giant rushing car, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The base of the giant truck is about 100 feet long, which can not only go all the way over the trench to Fu Yan, but also because the center of gravity is behind, its front end will not fall into the trench. This base is about ten feet high, which is not much different from the height of Fu Yan, and the soldiers can jump up and rush directly to Fu Yan. This base was about twenty feet wide, and it could be pushed through the doorway, and this width could also ensure that the attacking troops had enough troops to quickly enter Fu Yan and advance quickly into the city.
"Brothers, cut the slings for me and unload the ramshells." Wei Yan turned around excitedly and ran, "Ma Zhong, gather people, carry some logs to the doorway, ...... quickly"
Li Yi did not stop Wei Yan's attack. Persuasion to surrender is persuasion, but in order to succeed in persuasion, the last hope of the enemy must be completely shattered.
He gave three orders in a row: "Tell Huang Zhong to shoot intensively and suppress the enemy army." ”
"Tell Lan Yu, gather elite troops, and prepare for the attack."
"Urgently transfer the reserves, and once the breakthrough is successful, then cover up."
The besieging soldiers pushed the base of the giant chariot through the doorway.
The elite soldiers of the northern frontier on the city walls shot wildly, doing everything they could to suppress the archers of the rebels.
"Brothers, push it......" Wei Yan opened his eyes angrily and raised his head and shouted wildly.
Hundreds of elite soldiers in northern Xinjiang shouted in unison, exerting all their strength to push the base of the car to move on the log.
The speed of the base of the car is getting faster and faster. It rushed out of the doorway, whistling all the way, and slammed into Fu Yan.
Wei Yan raised his shield aloft, and was the first to jump on the base of the rushing car, shouting: "Brothers, kill, kill the past......"
The Northern Xinjiang army roared like thunder, followed closely behind Wei Yan, and rushed wildly.
"Killing ......" The Northern Xinjiang Army, like a roaring lion, rushed out of the flames, rushed out of the thick fog, and killed the panicked rebels head-on.
Gao Rou was shocked, and as soon as he wanted to encourage his subordinates to fight bravely to kill the enemy, Wei Yan's burly body fell from the sky, and the whistling sword chopped him upside down. Several guards around Gao Rou rushed up, but in the blink of an eye, two were stoned to death by the shield, one was beheaded by a war knife, and the other was kicked into the air by Wei Yan.
"Kill, kill me......" Wei Yan raised his bloody sword and roared like a god, "Kill without mercy......"
The officers and men of the Northern Xinjiang Army who attacked were inspired by the fearlessness and courage of the main general, and shouted hoarsely one by one, and went straight to the enemy formation.
Ma Zhong's spear flickered, and the enemy soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and there was no room for resistance.
Feng Ji was shocked and retreated in a panic, but Ma Zhong's speed was too fast, and before Feng Ji could turn around, he rushed over and lifted him up like a chicken by the collar.
