In the end, the Qing army threw down a corpse again, had to disappear into the vast night, and another attack failed, and the attack for a day and a half was in vain, with heavy casualties.

has been delayed in Luoyang City for three days, originally thought that Luoyang City could be taken in one day, Jierharang was in a hurry, these people are really hard enough, such a crazy attack, these soldiers and civilians are still fighting to the death, and they have not encountered such huge resistance when facing Sun Zhixiu's Qin army!

"The order, the army retreats for repair, and the artillery continues to attack the city! In one night, I must be given 2,000 shells, and the king does not believe that their walls can hold so strong! ”

Jierharang's heart was ruthless, dozens of cannons continued to launch a fierce attack on the city wall of Xicheng, as long as the city wall of Luoyang City was broken, without the protection of the city wall, the cavalry swarmed in, and it was difficult for Luoyang City not to fall!

The cannon rumbled, and the shells kept falling on the city wall, and the damage to the city wall became more and more severe.

"General Luo, can we only be beaten so passively?"

Chen Qiyu asked.

Luo Yu replied in a deep voice: "My lord, in a hurry, we don't have any good way, there are 100,000 elite Qing troops concentrated outside the city, even if we want to sneak attack, there is no return, and there is no artillery on the city head to fight, fortunately, our current city wall can hold out for a while, as long as the city wall does not collapse, the Qing army can not help us, now, we can only hope that the reinforcements will arrive in time!" ”

"Mr. Chen, the lower officials really can't see it, let's withdraw first, you see, there has been no Qing army in Dongcheng now, we can take this opportunity to escape......"

Tongzhi Nie Wenhuai snorted.

"Confused!"

Chen Qiyu shouted angrily, "We retreat now, where are the 100,000 people of Luoyang City?" Could it be that they watched them suffer the next massacre by the Qing army? The old man would rather die in Luoyang City than leave behind the rich people in the city! ”

"Master Chen, if you don't leave, please don't stop us from leaving! The artillery fire of the Qing army is too fierce, even if it can't smash the walls of Luoyang City tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Now the green bricks of the city wall have been smashed open, and it won't take two or three days for the city wall to collapse. ”

Nie Wenhuai saw Chen Qiyu angrily scolding him, and he was also a little anxious, no matter what, now that you are a servant, you are no longer a soldier in the imperial court, why do you still listen to you? Lao Tzu is the same governor of Henan Mansion, even if it is the prefect, he has to let himself three points!

As soon as Nie Wenhuai's words came out, the people around him were shaken one by one, yes, in less than a day and a half, the casualties of the Ming army had already reached two thousand, and if it was fought for a day or two, not to mention anything else, the remaining soldiers in the city would even have a problem defending the city! There is no doubt that it will be defeated, and now the Qing army does not surround the eastern city, it is obvious that they want the soldiers in the city to give up Luoyang City, why do they have to fight to the end?

Chen Qiyu's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Come on, take Nie Wenhuai down for the old man!" ”

Nie Wenhuai roared angrily: "Chen Qiyu, you are just a famous man who has retired to Linquan, this official looks down on you to give you face, why do you take me ......"

Burst!

Chen Qiyu spoke politely, Luo Yu was unceremonious, and stabbed him directly, straight from the back of the heart to the front of the chest, and even the tip of the knife was exposed!

Forehead......

Nie Wenhuai's mouth was surging with blood, and he looked at Luo Yu behind him with a frightened face.

Luo Yu's face was cold, and he shouted coldly: "Dog officer! Lao Tzu said that no matter who dares to abandon the city and flee, there is no mercy for killing! You're not the first, and you definitely won't be the last! ”

As he spoke, Luo Yu kicked Nie Wenhua over and shouted, "If any of you want to abandon the city and flee, just stand up!" ”

Don't look at Luo Yu's lame leg, his combat power is also not comparable to these civilian officials in front of him, as soon as these people heard the sound of cannons, their bodies were already half crisp, not to mention that they had the courage to fight against Luo Yu, even if they looked at Luo Yu, they didn't dare!

The cannon outside the city sounded intermittently overnight, the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City were sleepless all night, always vigilant that the Qing army attacked the city by night, dawn just arrived, the Qing army stopped a new offensive here, Zu Dashou's Han army pulled down, but Jierharang mobilized the two white flags of Shi Tingzhu's Han army and launched a fierce attack again!

Chen Qiyu and Luo Yu constantly commanded the army and civilians to fill the loopholes in the defense of the West City, and at the same time took into account the defense of the South City, the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, at this time, there was an accident in the East City, and when Chen Qiyu was commanding the battle, a soldier Pegasus ran over and said urgently: "Lord Qiqi, the commander of the East City and the commander responsible for defending the East City, Xu Shuqing, suddenly let go of the city gate, abandoned the city and fled, and there were two or three hundred soldiers in the battalion who went out of the city together!" ”

Burst!

Chen Qiyu is already in his sixties, in his last years, the preparations and battles in the past few days have exhausted his energy, and at this time, he suddenly heard that Xu Shuqing led the crowd to abandon the city and leave, how could he withstand such a huge blow, and spit out a mouthful of blood!

Song Qing on the side hurriedly hugged Chen Qiyu and helped Chen Qiyu to sit down, Luo Yu on the side shouted: "Lord Song, you hold on here for an hour, I will come when I go, Xu Shuqing abandoned the city and left, if you don't urgently deploy defenses, I am afraid that the Qing army will storm Dongcheng, and when the time comes, under the shaking of the army's heart, Dongcheng will be broken!" ”

As he spoke, Luo Yu rushed towards Dongcheng and came to Dongcheng, the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city were all depressed, they didn't know what to do, and even the commander ran away, how can this battle be fought? Even less confident!

"What are you doing? All cheer up Lao Tzu, isn't it just Xu Shuqing, run away, that day Lao Tzu saw that he must have broken his body into ten thousand pieces, and now they all occupy their respective positions, the Qing army is about to attack Dongcheng, think about it, it is your parents, your wives and children, brothers and sisters, fighting for your relatives, do you still have any room to retreat? It's a big man, so I'll straighten my back for Lao Tzu, let the Manchurian Tartars see, we Han people are not short of blood and backbone! ”

Luo Yu roared loudly, everyone's hearts were cold, standing behind them were their fathers, mothers, wives and brothers and sisters, no matter who it was, there was no way out, unless you let the Manchurian Tatars unscrupulously spoil your own family, is it tolerable or unbearable, you can't protect your parents, wives and children, what's the meaning of living?

War!
