Yan Ling turned his attention to the battlefield again and realized that the battlefield had unknowingly entered a heated stage. The two arrow towers placed behind the trenches by Li Shimin were both knocked down by the Luoyang defenders using catapults. The arrow towers that fell to the ground were knocked down by
The army led by Qu Tutong smashed people's backs and turned them into chaos.
Qu Tutong was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty. He was defeated by Li Shimin and surrendered to Li Shimin. Now he is an officer under Li Shimin. He led the army that went to stop Kou Zhong from breaking out.
Qu Tutong strictly implemented Li Shimin's plan, focusing on repelling Kou Zhong and never fighting too hard. It was a great achievement to entangle Kou Zhong and prevent him from successfully breaking out of the encirclement.
But Kou Zhong took the initiative to attack and was fully prepared. The trebuchets behind him threw boulders wildly. In addition, there were thirty crossbow machines that fired ruthlessly, which caused great trouble to Qu Tutong. If not for the people outside Luoyang City ordered by Li Shimin
With the dug trenches and trenches, I'm afraid that Kou Zhong has already broken through and left!
Fortunately, at this time, General Xue Wanche of Li Yuanji's line led an army of 50,000 from the left to join them. The mighty army spread out its military formations on the vast plains and suppressed Kou Zhong's breakthrough with more than ten times the force.
Kou Zhong was once again in danger. Both Xue Wanche and Qu Tutong were experienced generals in leading troops. With their overwhelming strength and the maneuverability of the light cavalry, the stones and crossbows behind Kou Zhong lost their deterrent effect, forcing Kou once again.
Zhong retreated, not daring to fight head-on.
At this critical moment, before Kou Zhong could come up with a plan to break the situation, Li Yuanji, who had left Yan Ling, came back with an army of 30,000 to attack, making Kou Zhong's situation even worse!
The sound of horse hooves shook the sky, and the roar of war drums hit the heart. The situation was extremely critical.
However, Kou Zhong was worthy of being a natural-born general. As the battlefield situation became more dangerous, his spiritual will became more profound and unpredictable. Suddenly, Kou Zhong pulled out his sword, Jing Zhongyue, and before Li Yuanji closed the encirclement, he shouted: "All the troops
Breakout!"
Thirty crossbow machines operated alternately in accordance with Kou Zhong's orders, and rows of crossbow arrows were shot out without any gaps. Li Yuanji's charging cavalry was shot into a chaotic posture of flying flesh and blood, and the invincible charge was no longer possible!
Kou Zhong took the lead, wielding the moon sword in his hand. Li Yuanji's army did not dare to compete with him, so he forced Kou Zhong to fight his way out. At the same time, the cavalry of the Luoyang garrison followed him, divided into three groups, and followed Kou Zhong all the way.
The figures were lined up on the left and right, becoming the wings of Kou Zhong's breakout army. The army pushed forward, forcing Li Yuanji to retreat continuously!
"Who in the world can stop me?"
On the battlefield, crossbows flew, cavalry charged, and war drums roared, but no one could cover up the brilliance of Kou Zhong. He shouted with great pride and majesty!
At the same time, Ba Fenghan appeared behind Li Yuanji's army and used his powerful martial arts to wreak havoc on the army's formation, causing Li Yuanji's army to panic. Koo Zhong took the opportunity to break through the encirclement and led the remaining Luoyang troops to break out.
"Just let him go like this?" Yan Ling looked at Li Shimin who came to him at some unknown time and said calmly.
Li Shimin did not answer, but Ying Ting said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect Kou Zhong to be so powerful on the battlefield. Even my third brother could not defeat him even with several times his strength. He is a fierce general!"
Yan Ling looked surprised. He knew that Li Shimin was eager for talents, but he wouldn't praise the local coach like this on the battlefield, right? So Yan Ling asked, "Do you need me to take action?"
"No!" Li Shimin refused: "I will lead people to besiege them. Your mission now is to capture Luoyang City. Is that okay?"
Yan Ling glanced at him and said, "Does King Qin look down on my Lingyun Army?"
The defenders of Luoyang City have two main backbones. One of them, Kou Zhong, has abandoned Luoyang City and chosen to lead the breakout. The other, Xu Ziling, is unknown. At this time, the defenders who stayed in Luoyang City are all old, weak, sick and disabled in Yan Ling's eyes.
, if Luoyang City cannot be captured even with this, then Lingyun Army might as well disband!
"Haha!" Li Shimin laughed and said, "I didn't mean that!"
Then the two of them watched the battle together, watching Kou Zhong forcefully break away from Li Yuanji's siege, join Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling, and drive back Li Yuanji's pursuit.
Then Li Shimin said to Yan Ling: "Okay, it's time for me to mobilize my troops and fight with this young commander. I'll leave Luoyang to you!"
Yan Ling stared at Li Shimin's back, thinking thoughtfully in his heart. Li Shimin must have felt Li Yuan's pressure on him now, so he did not want Yan Ling to take action and stopped Kou Zhong.
Because once Kou Zhong is left in Luoyang, there will be no force in the world that can compete with Li Tang. At that time, Li Shimin will have no excuse to continue to control military power. Without military power, what can Li Shimin use to compete with Prince Li Jiancheng for the throne?
After all, it is still a problem with the ancient system. The existence of the eldest son inheritance system makes it difficult for Li Shimin to get what he wants. And the better Li Shimin's performance, the more Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are afraid of Li Shimin. Unless Li Shimin is not willing to compete for the throne, otherwise this is a
Unsolvable situation!
"Li Jing!"
Yan Ling gathered his thoughts and shouted loudly.
"The end is here!"
Li Jing rode out on horseback!
Yan Ling stared at the top of Luoyang City and said in a deep voice: "Gather the army, let's attack Luoyang!"
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
The horn sounded, and Lingyun's army galloped forward with amazing momentum!
The sound of iron hoofs, the sound of horns, the sound of war drums and shouts were intertwined with each other, and the sound was so powerful that even the friendly troops who went to hunt down Kou Zhong couldn't help but look sideways, shocked by the soaring power of Ling Yun's army!
The usual training methods of the Lingyun Army include methods such as horse steps and big spear shaking, etc. to control the strength of the whole body. Now the elite in the army can not only control their own strength, but also understand the power of galloping war horses. Their riding skills are not inferior to those of the Turkic cavalry.
The boulders and crossbow arrows fired from Luoyang City could not do anything to Lingyun's elite.
Several miles passed in the blink of an eye. Yan Ling led three hundred soldiers straight to the Luoyang city wall. Yan Ling's body rose into the air on horseback, stepped on the city wall to use his strength, and climbed to the top of the city, while his soldiers used the help of Luoyang City Wall.
Li Shimin's ladders and other siege equipment left behind during his previous siege also quickly arrived at the head of Luoyang City.
At this time, all the masters in Luoyang City had followed Kou Zhong to break through. No one could stop Yan Ling and his soldiers. They were like a group of hungry wolves rushing into a group of sheep. They had no power to fight back. The light of their guns flashed, blood spattered, and their lives were lost.
Pass.
This is a cold weapon war with martial arts masters. If an army does not have corresponding masters, it can only watch the enemy masters do whatever they want, without any solution!
And then Li Jing also brought Ling Yun's army to Luoyang City. They abandoned their horses and took to the air, climbed to the top of Luoyang City, and started killing like crazy!
War is so brutal. People who have never met before meet on the battlefield will have to decide whether they are alive or dead. There is no room for mercy. Only by holding on to the idea of life and death can you survive to the end!
With the flags of the Tang Dynasty planted on the top of the city of Luoyang, it was announced that Luoyang had officially fallen under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and it also marked that there was no longer a force in the north of the Central Plains that could prevent the unification of the Tang Dynasty!
Yan Ling stood at the top of Luoyang City, looking at the corpses left everywhere on the battlefield below, and sighed in his heart. The last time he entered Luoyang, he was cautious, but this time the road to the Tang Dynasty's rule of Luoyang was paved with blood.
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"
War drums and horns sounded in unison, and the Tang army celebrated this victory in a unique way. The shouts shook the sky, and the military morale was unprecedentedly united at this time! (To be continued)
