Chapter 953 Cao Cao is driving, and the soldiers are under the city
The earth trembled slightly, the horses galloped wildly, the flying arrows blocked the sky and the sun, and the smoke from the gunpowder bags on the trebuchets continued to attack Luoyang City across the void.
"call out!"
"call out!"
Like locust arrows falling from the sky, the Northern Wei Dynasty's defenders also launched a fierce counterattack.
at this time.
Generals Chen Qingzhi, Fan Kuai, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houyuan have arrived at the city. They all looked solemn as they looked at the army approaching from outside the city with whips and horses.
"Chu soldiers are not the only ones outside the city. The left wing attacking the city is Dongwu soldiers. We have fought before."
Fan Kuai spoke, and Chen Qingzhi looked around, looked back, and said: "The enemy soldiers attacking the city are not the elite of the Chu army. It seems that they want to sneak attack Luoyang City."
"Although their troops are stronger than ours, it is absolutely impossible for them to invade the city. Do you know why Luoyang City has experienced countless baptisms of war and still stands strong?"
"All the officers and soldiers listened to the order, prepared crossbows, trebuchets, and crossbow beds to defeat the charge of the enemy soldiers outside the city."
Chen Qingzhi did not look at the reasons why Luoyang City remained standing, but ordered the soldiers of the three armies to activate the defense equipment and launch a fierce attack on the Chu army and Soochow soldiers.
Rolling rocks were like waterfalls and flying arrows were like locusts, blocking out the sky and the sun. The two armies rushed forward. Under the counterattack of the enemy soldiers in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they fell back and quickly retreated.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two violent explosions sounded under the city. The Chu army's trebuchets were unable to throw the gunpowder packets onto Luoyang City. The explosion exploded under the city wall, but it had no impact on the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However.
The defenders of the Northern Wei Dynasty were condescending and equipped with sophisticated defensive equipment. Under the constant ravages of crossbows and trebuchets, rolling stones rumbled on the battlefield, and spears and arrows were everywhere.
In an attack on the city, the Chu army and Soochow soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties and seriously injured ten thousand people. The road ahead was full of thorns, and it was impossible to attack by force.
Smoke filled the air, war broke out, and the siege army retreated after heavy losses. At this time, the thick night had fallen. Bai Qi looked back and discussed with Sun Ce, and decided to withdraw his troops and set up camp ten miles away. At the same time, Bai Qi ordered all the passages from Luoyang City to Ruzhou City
All were blocked to prevent enemy soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty from leaving the city to ask for help.
Bai Qi remembered all the circumstances of the first siege in his mind. There was an open space outside Luoyang City. The city towered into the clouds. The siege equipment could not be effective. Soldiers appeared under the city. It was a flat river with no cover and was completely exposed to the city.
Under the defensive equipment, the powerful repeating crossbows, bed crossbows, and trebuchets are simply fatal to the siege soldiers.
After the failure of the first battle and the arrival of night, the army retreated in a mighty manner. Generals Xiahou Yuan and Cao Xiu watched the Chu army retreat from the city, and all their eyes were focused on Chen Qingzhi.
"General Chen, the Chu army has temporarily withdrawn, but it will definitely come back tomorrow. What is the general's plan?"
"If we remain unchanged in response to all changes, it is impossible for the Chu army to attack the city. There is something that needs to trouble you generals in the past few days."
Chen Qingzhi was full of confidence and looked like he was strategizing. He raised his hand and whispered in the ears of the generals. Everyone looked up to the sky and laughed with admiration on their faces.
"Generals, go down and prepare. In two days, the Chu army and Soochow soldiers will lose their patience. If they withdraw and join the Chu army, then our deployment will be in vain."
"So the generals must speed up. As long as the army outside the city is killed at the gate of Luoyang City, not only will it be a great achievement, but the generals can also wash away their previous shame and feel proud."
Chen Qingzhi's powerful voice sounded, and everyone quickly left the city and walked towards Luoyang City.
The night slowly swallowed up the sky and the earth, and the sound of the retreating horses' hooves of the Chu army disappeared between the sky and the earth, leaving only the torches and dead lanterns on Luoyang City swaying in the night wind.
After Chen Qingzhi made precise arrangements, he turned around and left the city. Under the dark night, outside Luoyang City, corpses lay everywhere, broken guns and broken arrows were everywhere, battle shields and flags were soaked in blood. The evening wind carried a strong smell of blood, and in the distance
On the top of the ancient tree, the vulture made a shrill scream, flapped its wings, and might attack the corpse on the ground at any time.
.............
Two days passed and the city of Luoyang was in vain. Sun Ce's army did not attack rashly and launched an attack on Luoyang City. In two days in a row, Sun Ce and the generals discussed how to break the city, but they racked their brains and could not think of a good way.
.
Bai Qi was thinking alone in the tent. He flipped through the topographic map outside Luoyang City. He recalled the battle in Luoyang City two days ago in his mind. He sighed and murmured to himself.
"If my emperor were here, he would definitely have a good strategy to capture the city!"
However.
At this time, the situation of Emperor Chu was even more tense. Cao Cao's army was approaching the city of Ruzhou, and the two generals were already calling for battle below the city. They were arrogant and domineering, completely ignoring the Chu army.
"Your Majesty, the people calling for battle below the city are the generals of the Yuanfeng Empire, the Sharp Spear King Xia Luqi and the Golden Hammer General Gong Sun Yang. These two are famous in the fourth-level empire. They have been on the battlefield for many years without ever losing."
Yang Lin reminded him. Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes slightly. The system in his mind had already transferred the information about the two people. He glanced sideways at Yang Lin and asked.
"General Yang, how does Golden Hammer General Gongsun Yang compare with my King Zhao of Xifu? Yuanba listens to the order. You will go out of the city later and hammer Gongsun Yang to me."
When Li Yuanba heard this, his face was full of jest, and he looked at Gongsun Yang in the city with contempt, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Yuanba will definitely hammer him to death under the horse!"
The words fell.
Li Yuanba picked up his hammers and strode towards the bottom of the city. Yang Lin glanced at his leaving figure, and couldn't help but recall the scene of the battle between him and Li Yuanba in the past, and his cheeks twitched slightly.
"Your Majesty, if the giant hammer in Yuanba's hand is the second in the world, who dares to claim to be the first? Yuanba will win this battle!"
"It's just that Sharpshooter King Xia Luqi is not that easy to deal with!"
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go and challenge Xia Ruqi. I hope your Majesty will agree!"
Ding Yanping held two guns in his hands, his face was resolute, and his firm voice sounded. Emperor Chu looked straight ahead and chuckled.
"General Ding, don't be anxious. Xia Luqi calls himself the King of Spears. There are many generals in Chu who are good at using spears. I can send one person to defeat him completely."
"General Ding and General Yang are our army's hidden trump cards. I will not let them take action unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Zilong, I'll leave it to you to fight Xia Luqi. Behead him. I will reward you heavily!"
Ding Yanping, Yang Lin's current strength is indeed higher than that of other generals, because their cultivation base is strong. Compared with Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, Yue Fei, and Ran Min, although they are not as strong as the two generals at the moment, it won't be long before their cultivation base breaks through.
They can be defeated easily.
Zhao Yun was ordered to grab the loot and leave. Emperor Chu glanced sideways at Lu Bu and Yue Fei and said, "Yue Fei, please go out of the city to plunder the formation for the two generals. Don't let them fall into the enemy's plot." (To be completed.)
