This is not because the Northern Zhou soldiers were cowardly, but because facing firearms, they really had no need to continue fighting. Unless at this time they could have thousands of cavalry, and they were in the wilderness at a very close distance.
A sudden attack would be impossible, otherwise it would be impossible to deal with firearms.
Historically, even the powerful Mongolian cavalry was defeated by the firearms of the Ming army. Unfortunately, the Jurchens, who had higher armor coverage, finally took advantage of the limited power of black powder firearms and the inexorable internal strife in the Ming Dynasty, and entered the border in one fell swoop.
The current Xianbei cavalry does not have such conditions at all, and Li Xingchen will not give them such conditions. Therefore, after the city is broken, facing the Han army's firearms, they will hit the rocks with eggs.
When the Han army rushed into the city, the Northern Zhou army had already begun to surrender one after another. With the city gate as a support, they still had the courage to fight, but now facing the Han army so close at hand, they seemed to have no choice but to surrender.
No choice.
The city gates and walls were gradually submerged by the red tide, and the flags of the Han army were planted in every corner of the city wall.
It's just showing off, it's showing off one's power!
Li Xingchen showed a smile: "Let's go into the city!"
At this time, Luoyang City no longer had any cover in front of Li Xingchen.
Luoyang City belongs to the Han Dynasty!
Yang Su and others stood guard beside Li Xinchen and walked down the city wall.
The city gate has been opened, and the Han soldiers are passing through in an orderly manner. However, Li Xingchen has no intention of going through the city gate. He rides his horse directly to the gap in the city wall. It was from here that the Han soldiers first entered the city and completed the task.
A breakthrough.
Outside the gap in the city wall, corpses were everywhere. In order to be able to climb the city and break through this gap, the Han army still paid a heavy price. After all, this was the last barrier in the hearts of the Northern Zhou army. It was not that easy to really tear this barrier apart.
.
The corpses of many Zhou soldiers and Han soldiers were hugged together. Even at the last moment of their lives, they were fighting with their fists and glaring at the enemy with sharp eyes.
The wounds on their bodies may no longer allow them to stand up and fight, but even so, they must try their best to hold back even an enemy, hugging him with their own hands, and hitting him hard with their fists.
, leaving him with no way to stop his brother Pao Ze.
Li Xingchen dismounted, and the surrounding soldiers stood in awe.
Li Xingchen gave them a military salute.
"Long live the great man!" Many soldiers shouted in unison.
Li Xingchen, however, did not mount his horse and move forward, but walked through this section of the city wall that had completely collapsed. Because it blocked the road, many corpses had been restrained, but they were still piled up and made it difficult to get down. This shows that the close combat just now had some
It was so tragic, but most of the corpses on the ground belonged to Northern Zhou soldiers. Firstly, the Han army soldiers would definitely not give them priority to bury them. Secondly, the casualties of the Northern Zhou army were indeed greater, especially because they were anxious to stop the Han army at the beginning.
Basically, the group of Zhou people fell under the covering fire of Han army's muskets.
Nothing gives muskets more advantage than a dense formation.
Li Xingchen reached out and patted the city walls on both sides that had not yet collapsed. The traces of rammed earth layer by layer could be clearly seen on the city wall. Li Xingchen visited some sections of old city walls in later generations, so he naturally knew that the colors and even the thickness of the soil were different.
The different layering of city walls means that the city has been destroyed again and again and repaired again and again. These layers of rammed earth are leftover from the construction of city walls in different periods, which means that this city wall has been destroyed again and again.
Once it collapsed, almost nothing was left, but it was rebuilt again and again.
There are definitely many places like this in the entire city of Luoyang. After all, this is a city that has been devastated by wars time and time again. Ever since the leader Zhang raised the banner in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the wars surrounding this city and this land have been going on.
Can't even count them.
This time, the big man's car just happened to hit a section of the city wall that had been damaged a lot. Although the city wall had been repaired, its original foundation was no longer so stable. It was not strange for it to be destroyed by a car.
, after all, this city wall is like a wounded soldier after hundreds of battles, and this is its wound. Even if it has healed, it will still hurt if you press it.
When Li Xingchen crossed the city wall, he felt a chill.
One drop, two drops, and in a blink of an eye, the rain came.
The drizzle of rain fell from the sky.
The rain that had been hanging over everyone's heads on the battlefield for more than half a day finally came. The rain became heavier and heavier, washing away the battlefield full of gunpowder smoke and the smell of blood. It flowed vertically and horizontally in the ravines. The flags on the city wall were covered with water.
The rain was wet, and the Han soldiers above and below the city looked up at the rain that might disrupt their siege operations. The artillerymen outside the city hurriedly set up sheds or fired some gunpowder placed in the open air at the Tibetan soldiers outside the city.
Transport in the cave.
This rain came at the perfect time.
God bless you.
Li Xingchen opened his hands and the rain washed over him.
God bless me, a great man, and my country will last forever!
He had already captured Luoyang, and this rain was just enough to wash away the dust of many days of fighting and the bloody smell that filled the air, giving the city of Luoyang a new look.
"God bless the man!" Yang Su shouted, his body was trembling, he didn't know whether it was excitement or emotion.
"God bless the man!" Countless soldiers raised their arms and shouted.
What could be better than this to prove that God was protecting them? When they fought bloody battles, the sky was cloudy and not raining, allowing artillery and muskets to be used calmly. After they successfully broke through, the rain seemed to be God's mourning for those who died in the battle.
Soldiers.
At the same time, it is also announced that a new era belonging to this city and even the entire world is about to begin.
Li Xingchen took a breath, turned to Yang Su and asked, "Where is Yuchi Jiong?"
The next step is to deal with the old guy Yuchi Jiong. Li Xingchen is no longer inclined to capture Yuchi Jiong alive. If Yuchi Jiong wanted to surrender, he had the opportunity to surrender at any previous time period, but he did not
By doing so, he was either planning to continue to resist stubbornly, or he was planning to commit suicide and die for his country. No matter which way, he probably wouldn't survive.
Li Xingchen, Yu Chishun and others were all mentally prepared for this.
But until that moment comes, everyone still doesn't hope that Yuchijiong will reach that point.
"I didn't see it on the city wall before. According to the prisoners, Yuchi Jiong had already gone to the city when the city was broken, and he took his guards with him. The same should be true for Wang Qian, because he had already broken into the palace from the north, and there was no
Find Wang Qian." Zhang Xutuo said hurriedly. The fast horses coming from all directions gathered the battle situation of the entire Luoyang City at his place, making him a little confused for a moment.
