Just completed the deployment of the Dongcheng, the Qing army came fiercely, launched a fierce attack on the Dongcheng, Luo Yu tried his best, only to block the Qing army's attack, however, Xu Shuqing's escape to the morale of the blow is still very big, sudden, so that the casualties of the soldiers defending the Dongcheng are even more heavy, two days, the casualties have exceeded 4,000 people, accounting for half of all the troops, and now Luoyang City has no reserve troops!

The white-haired Chen Qiyu stood at the gate of the yamen and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, there is a cruel Manchurian Tartar outside, you all know its ferocity and cruelty, once the city is broken, then there will be a massacre, instead of being wantonly killed by them, why not pick up the sword and gun and fight to defend the city, as long as we hold on for three days, our reinforcements will arrive!" For the sake of parents, wives and children, for our food and livestock, folks, fight with the Tartars! Order, demolish all the houses for me, move all the bricks and beams to the city, fight to the end, and let the Tartars see the blood of our Han people! ”

The dignified court official, gray-haired, as long as he opens the city and surrenders, he will be reused by the Qing court, and he does not hesitate to die, the people below, which one will be afraid? Fight!

All the young men in the city have climbed to the top of the city, even the women and old people are constantly putting green bricks and wood on the city, as for the gunpowder that has not been used for a long time, it has also been buried under the most seriously damaged city wall, as long as the Qing army blows up the city wall, the cavalry assault, it will be directly detonated.

Another day has passed, after two or three days of artillery fire, the city wall has not been shaped, at most half a day, the city wall will definitely collapse in pieces under the continuous blow of the cannonballs, once the city wall is broken, the fall of Luoyang City is inevitable!

Luo Yu for three days and three nights, almost did not close his eyes, stubbornly guarded the city, with a team of brave and warlike warriors, patrolling back and forth in the three cities, where there is a crisis, he will be put into it to stabilize the situation!

At dawn on the fourth day, the guns of the Qing army were aimed at the head of the city again, and as long as there was another half a day, the city would definitely collapse!

Luo Yu and Chen Qiyu glanced at each other, their hearts were full of bitterness, after all, they still couldn't hold on? The Qing army's attack was too ferocious, tens of thousands of Han troops kept attacking, and they didn't even leave time for the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang City to breathe, and the catastrophe was coming!

Just when the hearts of the soldiers and civilians were surging with despair, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky!

"Boom!"

Heavy rain is coming!

Now it is the season of valley rain, according to the solar terms, at this time, there should be no heavy rain, but the sky is open, and the heavy rain around Luoyang City is pouring!

Haha, haha!

……

Chen Qiyu laughed, "God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes!" Ancestors and ancestors bless, ancestors and ancestors bless, heavy rain, come more violently......"

As he spoke, Chen Qiyu fell to the ground with his back to the sky, for several days, Chen Qiyu had never slept anything, Luo Yu was in the prime of life, he didn't sleep, but he was able to stand up, but Chen Qiyu was over the age of six, so hard, where could he withstand the joy and sorrow, overwork?

"Sir!"

"Pavilion Elder !"

The people around him quickly rushed over and hugged Chen Qiyu in their arms!

"Quick, herald, block the news, no one is allowed to leak the news that the boss fainted, and those who talk without permission will be killed!"

Luo Yu roared at Song Qing on the side.

Song Qing was anxious, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, and ordered to go down, the heavy rain came, and the artillery of the Qing army could not play a role at all in the pouring rain, at least, before the sky cleared, the city wall of Luoyang City was saved.

Outside Luoyang City, Jierharang's eyes were dark, almost fell, and he was almost trembling at the last time, if it weren't for this unexpected heavy rain, ten thousand cannons fired at once, the city wall of Luoyang City collapsed today, and the damn heavy rain disturbed the good things of this king!

The rain was pouring down, and even if there was more artillery, it would not be able to fight, so I had to endure it.

What is not clear to both sides inside and outside Luoyang City is that just more than a hundred miles away in the southeast and southwest, the two armies are rapidly advancing in the direction of Kaifeng, and the two armies don't even know that there are their own friendly troops not far away, and they have only one goal in mind, to go to Luoyang City or Kaifeng Mansion with all their might!

If Luoyang City has not fallen, it is natural to go to Luoyang City, if Luoyang City has been occupied by the Manchurian Tartars, you can only turn around and go eastward and go straight to Kaifeng Mansion, and you must not let the Manchurian Tartars occupy Kaifeng Mansion!

Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen are both marching thousands of miles, they have been marching fast for more than half a month, marching at least sixty miles a day, and if they speed up and march for a long time, even if the two elites are strong, it will be difficult to hold on, and when they are only one hundred and twenty or thirty miles away from Luoyang City, a heavy rain is coming!

The fourth town of the Tianwei Army and the left town of Nanjing were poured into the heart, Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen all jumped to their feet and scolded, the rain was pouring down, where can the speed of this march be fast? Damn, at the most critical time, the heavy rain came out to make trouble!

Just when Shu Xinchen and Li Dingguo were scolding, almost at the same time, the scouts sent out ran back to deliver the letter!

"Lord Qiyu Shu, the brothers sent back information from Luoyang City, the Qing army has been fighting fiercely in Luoyang City for five days, and the battle situation is extremely fierce, fortunately, there is a former military squire in Luoyang City, Lord Chen Qiyu, who presided over the overall situation, and only then did he save the city, but now the city wall is seriously damaged, once the city wall collapses, the Manchurian elite cavalry directly launches a surprise attack, and Luoyang City is definitely afraid that it will not be able to hold out for half a day!"

The scout said urgently to Shu Xinchen on his horse.

Shu Xinchen's heart jumped, he was shocked and anxious, just now he was still scolding this ghost weather, now it seems that fortunately this ghost weather, if it weren't for the pouring rain and the Qing army continued to launch artillery bombardments, I was afraid that Luoyang City would fall before his army arrived!

"Herald!"

Shu Xinchen hurriedly shouted: "Order the cavalry and musketeers of Nanjing Zuozhen to attack with me, all get on the horse, and we must rush to Luoyang City early tomorrow morning!" Du Xu, leading the infantry to follow from behind, the morning after tomorrow, must arrive at the city of Luoyang Mansion and act! ”

At the same time as Shu Xinchen gave the order, Li Dingguo also issued an order for a cavalry assault at the same time, 100,000 urgent, if Luoyang City finally fell, then this battle will be even more difficult to fight, the Qing army has 100,000 people, even if it is a fierce battle for four or five days, the casualties of the Qing army are not small, but it is far better than the fourth town of Nanjing and the Tianwei Army, the two military towns together, the strength is only more than 40,000 or 50,000, the fourth town of the Tianwei Army is the strongest strength of the Tianwei Army, with Li Dingguo's elite of the Western Army as the backbone, with more than 25,000 troops, Even so, it is far inferior to the Qing army!
