Chapter 458: The Siege of Scarlet Luoyang

East of Luoyang City, Yellow Turban East Road Army Camp.

It was learned that the camp of the former army of the Northern Route Army had been breached. When about 6,000 Yellow Turban troops were killed, and the grain, grass, and siege equipment of the Northern Route Army were also burned, Zhang Yan slammed his palm on the wooden table. This is a dismount, and the first battle of Luoyang brought shame to the Yellow Turban Army.

In fact, Zhang Yan also bears a certain responsibility for this, when the Flying Wing Battalion attacked the front camp of the North Route Army, Zhang Yan thought that with the strength of the North Route Army, it should be easy to deal with a small-scale attack on the camp, and Luoyang's troops were too small. Thinking that the rear battalion of the Northern Route Army would definitely send reinforcements in time, the Eastern Route Army did not send troops to respond, and as for the farther South Route Army, they did not think of sending troops to meet this matter at all. "It's just a tired tactic, Luoyang's troops will soon shrink back."

However, Zilong did not expect the Yellow Turban Army, and the Flying Wing Battalion not only did not accept it when it saw a good situation, but drove the defeated soldiers to attack the large camp of the Yellow Turban North Route Army and launched a confrontation with the Yellow Turban Army. It didn't take much time to defeat the Yellow Turbans in the front battalion, most of the time was spent in a confrontation with the Yellow Turban reinforcements.

When the constant shouting and killing continued for a long time, and Zhang Yan felt that it was not right to send troops to respond, the Flying Wing Battalion had already retreated, and the reinforcements of the Eastern Route Army had to go back to Zhang Yan in a gloomy manner.

After some anger, Zhang Yan quickly calmed down. sent people to send food to the Northern Route Army, ordered the Northern Route Army to rebuild the camp of the former army, and continued to drive the cloud car and Chongchengmu. At most, in half a day, the camp of the Northern Route Army and the equipment for storming the city can be built, but it is obviously impossible to catch up with Yinshi's attack.

"Without the North Route Army, the East Road and the South Road can still beat Luoyang City into a sieve!" The ruthless Zhang Yan did not hesitate at all, and the Yellow Turban Army's offensive was about to begin.

With less than five minutes to go, the Yellow Turbans are making their final preparations.

Except for the range of torch lighting, it was pitch black outside the city, and the hundreds of torches on the eastern city wall of Luoyang were obviously dwarfed by the thousands of torches in the Yellow Turban camp. The soldiers of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City on the city wall looked nervously outside the city, swallowing their saliva with difficulty, the cold at night was not terrible, what was terrible was the enemy outside the city, and beads of sweat had quietly appeared between the foreheads of some soldiers. The shadowy crowd in the Yellow Turban camp, the undulating footsteps and shouts, all indicate that the war is about to begin.

The victory of the Flying Wing Battalion greatly boosted the momentum of the defenders, but such a small victory did not have a decisive impact on the overall situation, the Yellow Turban Army was still almost invincible, and the shape of the defenders was still grim!

Luoyang's military strength was limited, leaving 500 troops in the north, 1,000 defenders on the southern city wall, and the strongest army in the eastern city wall, reaching as many as 15oo men, which was consistent with the pressure on the various places.

Even if there is no trace of the enemy at the West Gate for the time being, Lu Zhi has sent 5oo soldiers to guard it, and no one can guarantee that the Yellow Turban Army will not divide its forces to attack the West Gate, and the Yellow Turban Army has enough troops. Moreover, the area of Luoyang City is too large, and every city wall is reached from the central area cleared out of the city. The infantry needed to run with all their strength for nearly ten minutes, and it would definitely be too late to wait until the enemy soldiers were approaching the city to move troops to defense.

As for the more than 3ooo adventure players in the Dragon Guardian Villa, they were also scattered to various defensive positions, Lu Zhi didn't have too many extravagant expectations for the combat power of these adventure players, but there was one thing that he had to trust these adventure players, and that was the communication!

At Lu Zhi's request, in each defense area, there are core players of Dragon Guardian Villa personally selected by Jin Ge Iron Horse, who take turns to inform the "Headquarters" of the real-time changes in the area. During the special period, Jin Ge Iron Horse decisively controlled the Legion Channel, except for himself and a few designated core members, or an extremely special emergency, any member was told to ban the Legion Channel. In fact, this is also the usual method used by many adventurous gangs in wartime, and without such control, a gang of thousands or tens of thousands of people, the Legion channel is absolutely chaotic.

In order to avoid the situation of waiting for communication, the players of each city wall will report to a different person, and finally the Jin Ge Iron Horse will tell Sù Lu Zhi. This also means that Lu Zhi can get the most direct and timely information on the battle situation in the first time!

There are also 5oo warriors, who are the reserves of Luoyang City, the only reserves!

When the time comes, the siege begins!

The strength of the Yellow Turban Army is dozens of times that of the Luoyang defenders, and the strength has an absolute advantage, therefore, the Yellow Turban Army did not think of using a more tortuous and obscure method at the beginning, in their opinion, "To deal with such an enemy, there is no need for any skills at all, and the best strategy is to break the party!" ”

The Yellow Turbans did not hide their target of attack, that is, the absolute superiority of Tongguò in terms of troops, and attacked the city from the east and south! Originally, it was supposed to join the troops from the north, but now the attack power from the north is paralyzed, and there are no ladders. The walls of more than ten meters high are impassable.

After the impassioned drums, the Yellow Turban Army in the east and south of the city let out an earth-shattering shout, and the attacking troops rushed towards Luoyang City like a tide. The formation of the Yellow Turban troops is not strict, but the chaotic footsteps of tens of thousands of people also have a moving power, and every step is like stepping on the hearts of the defenders!

Even the soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion who had fought several battles had never experienced such a terrifying scene, let alone the troops of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City, and the tension was spreading.

"Swear to break Luoyang, don't leave chickens and dogs!"

With such a slogan, the Yellow Turban Army expressed its bitter hatred for the Luoyang Army, and its momentum shook the sky. But Lu Zhi laughed instead, "Stupid enemy, isn't this forcing the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang to defend desperately?" ”

The soldiers and civilians of Luoyang have no way to retreat, and if the city is broken, they will die, and they can only fight against the water! The defenders at the head of the city gradually recovered from the horror, and clenched the weapons in their hands, and at the moment of life and death, any hesitation and hesitation was fatal.

Lu Zhi's standing tall figure, tall back, and incomparably calm face gave the defenders standing near him a certain confidence. Lu Zhi didn't have any armor - in fact, when he left Luoyang, he didn't take the armor with him at all, and under the white Confucian robe was a former imperial court official who had commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and won a glorious victory!

The Yellow Turban Army approached the city wall like a tide and ants, a large number of ladders were carried by the attacking troops, and the columns were not tightly organized, but they quickly occupied the open space outside the city like a plague, and the Yellow Turbans, which marked their identity, were very conspicuous in the light of the torches.

The siege troops in Dongcheng and Nancheng came from eight different Yellow Turban forces, and Zhang Yan and He Yi coincidentally "in order to give the brother troops a chance first", they did not fight for the first round of offensive rights, but gave the opportunity to those Yellow Turban forces who thought that Luoyang was within reach and were willing to work hard for the leadership position.

The Yellow Turban troops who went out to fight only had one chance, and if they couldn't capture Luoyang, then the next wave of troops would not have their names. Each force gritted its teeth and threw out all the elite troops in its hands. Hoping to be the only lucky ones, the troops simply divided the attack areas according to their respective affiliations to avoid unnecessary confusion in the battle.

This also means that the battle will be fiercer than ever!

Footsteps from far and near.

1ooo meters.

8oo meters.

5oo meters.

3oo meters!

There was not a sound at the head of the city, it was dead silent, and some of the Yellow Turbans in the frenzy even had the illusion that it was an empty city.

Two hundred meters!

The defenders with sensitive hearing could even faintly hear the wheezing of the Yellow Turban Army, and this wave of nearly 20,000 siege troops, after running for a few hundred meters, there were already people panting like bellows.

Lu Zhi still didn't give the order to release the arrows, and many of the warriors of Maple Leaf and Huoyun City became uneasy, and secretly turned their heads to stare at Lu Zhi, "Isn't Lord Taishou stupid?" Or have you already run away from the city? When they saw that Lu Zhi was still very calm, they relaxed a little.

2oo meters!

15o meters!

Lu Zhi finally spoke, "Shoot!" ”

Almost at the same time, the defenders at the head of the city fired the first round of arrows, and then clumsily continued to draw their bows and arrows with trembling hands, but as the second and third arrows were fired one after the other, the defenders' movements gradually coordinated. As soon as the battle began, the tension of these rookie soldiers gradually faded.

15o meters, is the more effective shooting limit distance of the defenders on the city wall, Lu Zhi knows that the most lacking in the city in addition to the soldiers, is the arrows, arrows should be used sparingly, each one can not be wasted!

The dense formation of the Yellow Turban Army made it impossible for the defenders' archers to aim too much at all, as long as they shot towards the crowd, there was almost no possibility of missing! The constant screams of the Yellow Turban Army under the city made the confidence of the defenders gradually rise, and arrows rained down. In an area of more than 100 meters below the city, thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers with arrows fell to the ground, and the red blood flowed quietly, infiltrating the land below the city. The Yellow Turbans screamed and rolled, the battle had just begun, and no one cared about their lives or deaths.

The soldiers carrying the ladder only knew how to run desperately, rushing to the city as much as possible, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were constantly falling from arrows, and there were constantly soldiers taking over the heavy responsibility of carrying the ladder for their fallen comrades and brothers, and behind each ladder, there were a different number of soldiers who were ready to climb the city wall for hand-to-hand combat!

The Yellow Turban Army that participated in the war had never had the experience of attacking a city like Luoyang, but the troops attacking Luoyang this time were all elite troops from all walks of life, with a brave style and fighting spirit, facing the dense arrows like raindrops on the city wall. No one flinched, and there was no chance of retreating. Long before the attack, they saw the law enforcement team, and as the siege force attacked, the law enforcement team gradually moved forward, and the cold broadsword and the arrows shining with cold light were behind the siege force, retreating and dying!

The besieging force will pay a considerable price at this distance close to the city wall, and this price is unavoidable, and the condescending defending force will have a corresponding bonus in terms of shooting distance and the breaking power of the arrows.

A minute later, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army finally reached the city wall, and ladders were erected, and many of the warriors who served as the first task in the Yellow Turban Army rushed up, and some even held the Pak knife in their mouths in order to get a faster ascent to the city!

At the same time, the archers of the Yellow Turban Army arrived at the attack position one after another, facing the rain of arrows pouring down, and launched a confrontation with the defenders at the head of the city, desperately suppressing the defenders' firepower and creating opportunities for the troops to climb the city!

The defenders could rely on the battlements to dodge the arrows fired from the city, but the disparity in military strength greatly weakened this advantage, especially after some Yellow Turban Sword and Shield soldiers used their shields to provide temporary cover for the archers, and the defenders who could have safely released their arrows quickly suffered casualties. In this way, the pressure on the city has increased greatly!

The screams, the wheezing, the sound of the arrow leaving the bowstring, rang out one after another.

Faced with ladders, the defending troops tried their best to destroy them, and one of the more effective equipment was the pole. The top of the pole over five meters long has a fork, the soldiers of the city use the pole to resist the ladder, and push it to the outside of the city wall, while the Yellow Turban Army under the city wall tries their best to stop it, except for speeding up the climb, most of the rest of the people desperately protect the ladder, including putting their bodies on the side of the ladder against the wall. Use your own weight to make it more difficult for the defenders to destroy.

Some of the soldiers defending the city risked being shot by the opponent's archers, and threw the boulders stored on the city wall downward, and the boulders that fell from a height of more than ten meters had terrifying power in the battle to defend the city, and many Yellow Turban soldiers burst out of their brains! The Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the ladder, many of them died before they even had time to scream!

According to the principles of mechanics, the effect of the defenders on the city wall on the ladder is obviously far greater than that of the attackers under the city. When four or five defenders on the city wall pushed the pole hard at the same time, several ladders had to be in close contact with the earth, and the Yellow Turban Army on the ladder fell, and the soldiers near the top of the ladder fell down and were seriously injured!

However, the Yellow Turban Army has too many troops, and there are enough ladders that even those ladders that have been desperately crossed down by the defenders will quickly be re-erected and put into battle again!

The defenders tried again and again, killing and repelling many attacks, but more would soon come in waves. Gradually, the Yellow Turbans climbed up, but before they could jump onto the wall, they screamed and fell.

-- Under the battlements behind each ladder, there are several defender soldiers with long and short weapons waiting for them, as long as the enemy attacking the city enters their sight, the fierce assassination and slashing will come out at the same time, and the Yellow Turban Army in mid-air has almost no chance of being spared!

Although the defenders poured oil on the ladder and set it on fire—and the princes sent a lot of oil, it was not so easy to give up after killing the red-eyed Yellow Turbans, and some of them climbed up at the risk of being burned. Six minutes after the siege force reached the city wall, one of the Yellow Turbans finally climbed the eastern city wall.

Although the Yellow Turbans were soon killed by the sword, this did not make the defenders feel any lighter, and more and more Yellow Turbans climbed to the top of the city!

Hand-to-hand combat on the city walls, begun!

********

Qingzhou, Fengxiang City.

As early as not long after Fengxiang's reinforcements came out one after another, a certain city lord was exchanging views with Pang Tong on the Luoyang crisis in the city lord's office, and when he began to make a decision, Ah Niu did not ask Pang Tong what the so-called "opportunity" was, and directly sent the troops out first. There are some aspects of the problem that are not suitable for discussion in front of the generals.

"My lord, we must seek the help of the princes' forces, otherwise we have little chance."

"I also understand, but it's not easy for them to make a move, the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang City is not tens of thousands, but more than ten thousand! Hell it if those princes are willing to send troops! ”

"What we need is time, the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Luoyang cannot be protracted, and morally speaking, neither the princes nor Dong Zhuo can sit idly by and watch such an action of the Yellow Turban Army. Even if they don't want to wade into this troubled water, and hope to pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait for the matter to pass, as long as we hold out long enough, the more likely it is that other forces will send troops to break the siege! ”

Pang Tong's words are undoubtedly correct, whether it is Dong Zhuo or the princes, they are still Hanchen in name, and they are on the same page as the Yellow Turban Army. And Luoyang is the former capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to sit back and watch it fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban, if Aniu is one of the princes, in the face of this situation, the smartest thing to do is nothing more than to pretend not to know, drag it until the dust settles and then jump out and shout a few words.

Even Cao Cao, who has a close relationship with Feng Xiang, may not be willing to help, it seems that the benefits that Feng Xiang brought to Cao Gong are not enough for Cao Cao to help a city lord desperately.

For such a situation, a certain city lord was quite helpless, but Pang Tong obviously had Zhizhu in his hands, and said with a faint smile: "Lord, they want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, we don't give them a chance to be lazy!" If we spread this matter out in the form of a national proclamation, calling on the heroes of the world to help each other, can the princes still pretend not to know? ”

Ah Niu's eyes suddenly lit up!

(There is also a chapter in the evening, and in addition, the reservation point is the monthly pass for the next month...... (To be continued)
