Zierharang is not stupid, he has fought with the Ming court for many years, and knows that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are timid and afraid of things, as long as they pull out a cannon and bombard Luoyang City together, they are afraid that the officials and generals in these cities will flee from the wind, and Luoyang City is at your fingertips!

"Zu Dashou, give the order, immediately withdraw the siege of Dongcheng, besiege the city on three sides, launch an attack, and leave Dongcheng behind! The forty artillery pieces of the general are all concentrated in Xicheng and Nancheng, launch an artillery bombardment for me, mobilize 10,000 Han Army Eight Banner Infantry, and storm Xicheng! ”

Zilharang shouted in a deep voice.

Zu Kuan on the side was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Lord, what do you mean by this?" Why not be surrounded on all sides? ”

Zu Dashou reprimanded: "What do you know? If it is surrounded on all sides, there is no hope for the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City to escape, and they will naturally resist desperately, the prince let us only surround and attack on three sides, just to let them know that there is still a way to live, and under the onslaught, those officials and generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death will flee in a hurry! The so-called soldiers who go to war and plot, and surrender without a fight, is what it means! ”

Zu Kuan's face turned red, and he hurriedly began to order people to mobilize the infantry and prepare artillery, and one by one the artillery was slowly pushed to the forefront of the position, and began to aim towards the city.

Above the city, Chen Qiyu and Song Qing looked at the artillery under the city, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, this Manchurian Tartar is planning to storm Luoyang City, as long as the artillery sounds, it means that Luoyang City will be a river of blood! Now there is no other choice but to fight to the death!

"Boom, boom!"

More than forty cannons were all slowly pushed forward, the black muzzle pointed directly at the Tai'an city wall, and finally let out a roar, one shell after another flew towards the city, smashed on the city wall, smashed the city wall out of a big pit, bricks and stones splashed, the entire city wall trembled, the ground shook!

The fierce shelling lasted for a whole hour, knowing that the barrel of the cannon was red, it stopped, and in an hour, the Qing army fired thousands of shells towards the west and south of Luoyang City, and a dense pit appeared on the city wall, fortunately, they were all solid bullets, no flowering bullets, if they bloomed again, then the city wall that was not much solid would definitely collapse.

"Order, infantry attack!"

Zilharang gave an order, and the 10,000 infantry of the Eight Banners of the Han Army pushed dozens of siege ladders and constantly advanced towards the city wall!

"Kill ----"

10,000 Qing troops rushed towards them with great momentum, just like the wind and waves above the sea!

"The Qing army has stopped shelling, hurry, hurry up to the city wall to defend the city!"

Luo Yu on the side shouted to Sun Qiyu as soon as the cannon stopped, Chen Qiyu understood in his heart, and hurriedly urged the soldiers to climb the city, just now because the Qing army was only shelling, if the soldiers were directly let stay at the head of the city, the four-shot shells would definitely cause unnecessary casualties, all the soldiers except for the sentry guard, all of them hid behind the female wall, and now that the shelling stopped, they naturally had to rush out to resist!

In the first wave, 2,000 soldiers and strong men boarded the West City, swords rattling, ready for a bloody battle!

Luo Yu leaned behind the battlements, one of his legs and hamstrings was a little inconvenient to move, but the kung fu in this hand was not thrown down, and there were ten pots of feather arrows and four steel knives beside him, all of which were prepared for this battle!

Seeing that the Qing army had entered within a hundred steps, Luo Yu picked up a feather arrow, his arms were strong, and the bow was like a full moon!

"Whew!"

A feather arrow shot out like lightning, straight to the throat of a Qing army, the Qing army's body was stagnant, his eyes flashed with nostalgia for life, and he slowly fell to the ground!

"Woo Woo ......"

Luo Yu fired five arrows in a row, the arrows were not missing, each feather arrow could take the life of a Qing army, the soldiers around him were originally a little frightened, seeing the general around him so brave, five arrows, killing five people, it was really powerful, the morale was high, and they shouted and started to shoot frantically under the city, and at the same time, the artillery above the city also rang out, and one shell after another smashed towards the Qing army!

There are only more than ten artillery pieces on Luoyang City, and they are all old general cannons, rusty, and the power can not be compared with the red-clothed cannons, however, now the Ming army is standing on the head of Luoyang City, condescending, naturally taking a lot of advantage, a shell fell in the Qing army array that was charging, and the Qing army was smashed bitterly, but, after all, the number of artillery is too small, on the west city, there are only five artillery, and it is only a minute to be able to shoot a shell, such a speed, How can the Qing army's advance be stopped? For a time, arrows rained down on the city, bringing an unknown threat to the Qing army.

Feather arrows are dense, like flying locusts, constantly shooting, the Qing army continues to have people hit the arrows, and the mouth issued a terrible howl, of course, the Qing army does not show weakness, Zu Dashou is a generation of famous generals, experienced, how can the Ming army on Luoyang City be so unscrupulous attack?

Zu Dashou gave an order, a team of archers began to rush forward, more than 2,000 archers began to shoot arrows frantically towards the city, used to suppress the counterattack of the Ming army, from time to time there were Ming soldiers or strong arrows, fell from the city to the city, died, extremely tragic.

Even if the Ming army's counterattack is very sharp, however, after all, these soldiers lack adequate training, as for those who are strong, they have not undergone military training, although they have some courage, but they have encountered such a bloody scene, the fear in their hearts is not a word or two to boost morale can be suppressed, one by one the hands holding the bow and arrow are trembling, how can they bring enough damage to the Qing army?

It didn't take long, and the Qing army that rushed to the front pushed more than 20 ladders to the city wall and erected them on the city wall.

The battle has changed from a long-distance attack to a hand-to-hand encounter, which is even more tragic and harsh!

One by one, the Qing army just climbed to the top of the city, and was cut down by the Ming army on the head of the city, screaming and falling into the dust, falling to pieces, after all, the three-zhang high city wall, almost ten meters, the living fell from above, it is definitely nine deaths!

However, the screams one after another, still can not stop the Qing army to climb the city, still can not deter the infantry who continue to attack the city behind, one by one the infantry continued to attack along the ladder, more and more Qing troops climbed up, the steel knife in Luo Yu's hand has already seen the blade, once again changed a steel knife to continue to fight, even if it is lame, it is still not an ordinary Ming soldier and the strong can be compared, both hands dance the steel knife, like a mad tiger, a husband is a pass, ten thousand people do not open!
