After the army stationed in Mang Mountain, in order to attack Luoyang City, Feng Zhou had to personally investigate the defenses of Luoyang City.
This time, he learned his lesson. He didn't dare to explore the enemy's camp with only two subordinates like he did before.
On May 1, the third year of Jianxing, Feng Zhou led his generals and 500 Beiwei troops to the gates of Luoyang City. He took two generals, Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, to board a specially made city viewing vehicle and circle the city for observation.
Various situations of Luoyang City's defense in order to formulate siege tactics. But after only half a circle around Luoyang City, Feng Zhou frowned into the word "Chuan".
As the capital of the Wei Dynasty, Luoyang was already solidly built. After the Han army occupied Guanzhong, for the sake of safety, the Wei state sent its ministers to recruit corvees and built the city of Luoyang well, just to resist the attack of the Shu Han.
.
In Feng Zhou's opinion, the city wall of Luoyang City is very solid. There are barbicans on all four gates, including three gates: the main tower, the watchtower, and the gate tower. The gate tower is at the outermost, and its function is to lift the suspension bridge, and the arrow tower is in the middle.
There are square windows on the front and both sides for archery. The main building is at the end and is the main entrance of the city. The bluestone city wall is four feet high, six feet wide at the bottom and more than four feet wide at the top. There is a protruding wall every one hundred steps.
This means that if you use a ladder to climb the wall to attack the city, you will not only be attacked by the enemy from the front, but you may also be warmly entertained by the archers of the city defenders on the left and right sides at any time and at any time!
There are actually as many as 120 garrison towers on the city wall! There is also an even more powerful moat, which is more than three feet wide and nearly two feet deep. According to details, the moat contains not only water drawn from Yishui and Luoshui, but also water from Yishui and Luoshui.
It was also buried with pointed wooden piles more than one foot high!
Of course, these are not in Feng Zhou's eyes, because this is what a strong city in the world should look like.
What made Feng Zhou frown was that he found that two or three trebuchets were installed in each archery tower and Tibetan Army Tower. Looking at the tall and majestic appearance, he knew that they were extremely powerful.
After all, the trebuchet was originally invented by Cao Cao, and they had a group of talented craftsmen headed by Ma Jun. It was natural for them to build a more powerful trebuchet with longer attack power.
In general, Luoyang is not as large as Chang'an, but its city defenses are stronger, its weapons are more complete, and its elite combat capabilities are more powerful.
In particular, the leader of the defenders was Sima Yi, who was even better at defense. When he faced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's all-out attack, he still managed to do so with ease, which shows his ability.
Historically, although he was completely at a disadvantage when facing Zhuge Liang, he managed to hold on even though he had the right time, place and people, and could only shrink his defense when he was ten times outnumbered by the enemy.
Even though Fengzhou had been studying with Zhuge Liang for so long, he still didn't dare to say that he could compare to him in the way of leading troops. Sima Yi could be regarded as a famous general if he could successfully defend in a huddled position.
"As expected of a fortified city in the world, this city is ten times harder to defeat than Chang'an! It's difficult to capture this important city without running out of time!" Feng Zhou couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Due to the moat, when the army attacks, the trebuchets will be placed very far away, making it impossible to effectively suppress the city walls and towers. As for the problem of spontaneous combustion of hollow pottery, the Wei State has a lot of talents and must have a good strategy to combat it.
.
At this point, even if they can't think of a way to resist, they can still hurt each other. According to details, they have developed a clay pot that can be used for spontaneous combustion.
"I'm a little underestimating the world." Feng Zhou smiled and said to Wei Yan and Jiang Wei who were riding in the car together.
Wei Yan nodded, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Jiang Wei, who was younger and could see far, said, "Your Majesty, I see that the Wei army in the city has discovered you. Many fake Wei officials have come to the top of the city and are looking at you."
Hearing this, Feng Zhou quickly looked towards the top of the city. Sure enough, he saw that many people in rich armor had climbed up to the city wall and were pointing towards him. Feng Zhou smiled coldly and ordered: "Come forward on the city viewing car.
Come and speak within two hundred steps." The officers under the chariot agreed, and Wei Yan and Jiang Wei each picked up their prepared shields and personally raised their shields to protect Feng Zhou.
In this way, Feng Zhou stood on the city watch car, standing in front of the five hundred Wei troops, which was very eye-catching.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the Wei army had never seen Feng Zhou, and most of them followed the generals and looked down. Feng Zhou shouted loudly: "The people of Zhongnan on the top of the city, listen, I am the Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty. I am born with bravery and wisdom.
Killing Xu Huang and Zhang, conquering Chang'an, occupying Guanzhong, and being invincible due to the military front, now inheriting the legacy of Emperor Zhaolie, leading an army of 100,000 tigers and soldiers, sent troops out of Guandong to attack Luoyang in order to revive the Han Dynasty.
If you abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, surrender the city, and surrender to my great Han, I will reward you without hesitation according to your merits."
His voice was not that loud, but it reached the ears of everyone on the city wall clearly. Everyone was stunned, and their faces all changed color.
Ordinary soldiers just thought that Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty was very impressive, and he could shout so clearly, but those who had been on the battlefield for a long time were shocked in their hearts: "Everyone said that the Emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty was very good at mystical skills. When I saw him today, he was really extraordinary."
!”
At this time, Sima Yi was holding a military meeting in the military building above the city. When he heard that Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty had arrived at the city, he quickly led his generals to the top of the city.
At this time, when he heard Feng Zhou's clear shouts and knew that Feng Zhou was messing with the morale of the Luoyang army, he stepped forward and shouted sternly: "Liu Adou, I, the great Wei Dynasty, came here in accordance with the destiny. The former Han Emperor Liu Xie knew that he was not worthy of the position due to his virtue.
Imitating the actions of the ancient sages Yao and Shun, you abdicated to the late emperor and have been granted the title of Duke of Shanyang. If you are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty, you should abide by the wishes of Duke Shanyang, stop your troops and return to the Wei Dynasty! You will not lose the reward of being a prince, if you are
If you don't know the right time and attack the city by force, this is where your bones will be buried!"
The generals of the Wei army were overjoyed and said: "Well said, Shu will be afraid of Duke Shan Yang if it is not right to win the country!"
"Hahaha!" Feng Zhou laughed loudly when he heard this: "It turns out that Sima Yi has already arrived at the top of the city. Aren't you very fast? I was galloping at the gate of your camp that day, but you didn't dare to fight and just retreated.
In the city, this kind of decisiveness also shows that you are a character. If you abandon the dark side and surrender the city, I will forget the blame. Not only will you be rewarded with the position of marquis, but I will also entrust you with important tasks, letting you lead the army to conquer Liaodong in the north and pacify Dongwu in the south.
,how?"
"We, the Wei Dynasty, have risen so high. How can we, the generals of the Wei Dynasty, be deceived by you? Don't try to use clever arguments. I, Sima Yi, am deeply trusted by the emperor. I am about to serve the country and expel foreigners. If you surrender,
In the Wei Dynasty, I, Sima Yi, am willing to give up my position as the general."
"What a eloquent Sima Yi." Feng Zhou laughed loudly: "This time I set out to attack Luoyang with the intention of regaining the Central Plains! Of course I welcome you, Sima Yi, if you are willing to surrender to our Han Dynasty. But there are three incidents of the Han Dynasty.
, must be defeated and established, I will never force or force anyone to surrender! Because for me, it is much easier to kill you than to recruit you!"
Is it easier to kill them than to surrender them?
This is so insulting!
Feng Zhou's contemptuous words made all the Wei generals have veins twitching on their foreheads.
"My dear Adou, you have such a loud voice!"
General Xia Houxuan, a general in his twenties, Yulin Zhonglang, stepped out of the crowd, supported the battlements with one hand, pointed at Feng Zhou with the other and shouted: "My dear, my general Xia Houxuan is standing here, kill! Come and kill!"
Do you have the ability to kill me, General?"
"Very good, you want me to kill you!" Feng Zhou laughed loudly. In an instant, he took off his iron-fisted strong bow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out an arrow. He only heard a scream, even though Xia Houxuan was wearing leather armor.
, the sharp arrow still penetrated his chest, and flew his body backwards, hitting the wall of the city tower behind him and falling to the ground. There was a sudden chaos on the city wall.
Feng Zhou laughed and said: "Sima Yi and other generals of the Wei army, you have seen and heard clearly that this guy named Xia Houxuan begged me to kill him. Although this is the first time I have heard such a strange request,
