Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Xia Houyuan, who was thirty battles away from Wubao, suddenly found a red light flashing in front of his eyes, then his eyes went dark, and then a huge explosion sounded into his ears, and a huge momentum knocked him off his mount...

Chapter 654 Forced to return to the teacher

When Xia Houyuan regained consciousness again, the first thing he saw were the faces of Zhang Yan and the soldiers.Seeing Xia Houyuan wake up, these people breathed a sigh of relief.If the main general Xia Houyuan really has any troubles, according to Wei's military law, they can't get away with it.

Xiahou Yuanteng sat up suddenly, and asked in surprise: "What happened!" Then he looked at the pitch-black night and the torches in the hands of the soldiers, and suddenly remembered that when he lost consciousness, it was not completely dark , The Wei army is storming the collapsed Tengyunwu Fort.He then asked like a cannonball: "Has Tengyun Fort been captured? How is our army now? Where are we?"

Zhang Yan replied embarrassingly: "I would like to report to the commander. Our army attacked Tengyun Fort. In fact, it has become a pile of ruins now, but our army also suffered heavy casualties. Under General Liang's sorcery, we More than [-] people in the army were killed and injured by the thunderstorm. The commander also passed out. Under such circumstances, the general did not dare to advance rashly, so he had to lead his troops back first."

Xia Houyuan's gaze became dull, and he muttered to himself, "Witchcraft? Rolling thunder underground?"

Of course, Liang Jun doesn't know any sorcery.It was really just a violent digester explosion.Like Xiangyang Wubao, Tengyun Fort also built a septic tank, and deliberately left a large space to store biogas, and deliberately left air holes to allow the biogas and air to fully mix.

After a long time, a powerful bomb was formed under the entire Tengyun Fort.On the same day, the soldiers first opened the manhole cover of the septic tank as planned, and planted a red flag as a sign.When the Wei army gathered in and around Tengyun Fort, Huang Zhong used his hundred-step archery to shoot a rocket at the manhole cover of the septic tank.

A huge explosion happened just then. According to Zhang Yan's description to Xia Houyuan, half of the sky was illuminated by bright red light at that time, and the whole earth shook like an earthquake.The bricks and tiles in Tengyun Fort, heads and limbs splashed everywhere.Even the soldiers of the Wei Army who were not in Tengyun Fort flew out of thin air, and even if they were not killed on the spot after landing, they would vomit blood and die in an instant.Even Zhang Yan, who was forty battles away from Wubao, felt a huge force coming towards him. His mount neighed, raised its hooves, and threw him off the horse.Fortunately, he didn't pass out like Xia Houyuan did.

After the big bang, the whole scene was silent.In fact, even those Wei soldiers who survived were mostly deaf in both ears and temporarily blind in both eyes, and were knocked to the ground by the huge shock wave.Everyone fell into a state of incomparable bewilderment.After more than ten breaths of time, someone started to cry, and the scene was immediately covered by crying like a tsunami. Many soldiers of the Wei army were mentally disturbed and started running around and shouting crazily.In this state, how dare Zhang Yan, who is still in shock, continue to let the army follow the plan.I had no choice but to send an order to withdraw all the soldiers and horses to the original point, and counted the big explosion alone, which caused the loss of more than [-] Wei soldiers.

In this era, few people have seen real explosions, so there is no vocabulary to describe explosions.It can only be described as Rolling Thunder.

After listening to Zhang Yan's narration, Xia Houyuan shook his head again and again with an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "For a small dock, let me wait back and forth to lose four or five thousand soldiers and horses. How can this be realized?" Someone's plan to break through Tongguan and threaten Guanzhong. How can someone meet people!"

Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Then, coach, shall we continue to fight according to the previous plan?"

Xia Houyuan asked with a wry smile: "Can we not continue the fight? The general wanted to withdraw the troops, but the emperor's edict is still in his arms. Besides, we have lost so many troops, and we can count as pulling out the Tengyun Fort." It’s a nail, how can you give up halfway?”

He struggled with his body that was still in pain, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Pass a certain military order, the whole army should be assembled, and continue to act according to the original plan!"

Soon the horn sounded weakly, and the soldiers of the Wei army who were still in shock pushed and pushed and lined up again.During this period, many people began to flee quietly. They firmly believed that there were mages in the Liang army who could use magic, and they didn't want to die in vain.

Five or six deserters from the Wei Army ran wildly on the ridge east of Tongguan, and two of them were still taking off their uniforms while running.There was a rapid sound of horseshoes behind them, and the faces of several people suddenly turned pale. "Separate and run!" The one in the lead shouted eagerly.As soon as he finished speaking, there was a pop, and a spear blade appeared from his chest.The rest of the people were either knocked down by war horses or pierced by spears.

The tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers of the Sanqi Xiahouyuan came. After they knocked all these deserters to the ground, they cut off their heads with sharp knives and put them on the lances, shouting repeatedly: "The commander has an order. Regardless of rank, deserters Shoot to kill! The coach has an order... ".In the distance, there are also war cavalry carrying heads to threaten deserters.

A crazy Wei Bing appeared in front of the three cavalry. The leading cavalry soldier drew out a long-bladed saber and slashed at the Wei Bing. A bloody head jumped into the air.

In addition to beheading the deserters, they also beheaded the insane and crazy Wei soldiers on the spot.The reason why they did this is also very simple. If these crazy Wei soldiers are not killed, wouldn't there be a loophole to escape the battle by pretending to be crazy.

After half an hour of killing, Xia Houyuan's personal guards finally restrained the trend of desertion.The morale of the army that was on the verge of collapse was basically stabilized.

After finishing the formation, the Wei army continued to divide into two groups. One group was led by Xia Houyuan himself and marched slowly along the bank of the Yellow River, covering the other group that walked on the river beach. The Wei army led by Zhang Yan.When they approached the city of Tongguan, Xiahouyuan's team on the bank was blocked by the city wall of Tongguan and could no longer move forward, but the Wei army on the river beach was still advancing rapidly. They only needed to travel another five or six miles to reach the river bank again, and they would go around to Tongguan. west of.

At this moment, hundreds of arrows shot at Wei Jun.They don't just come from the hundreds of longbowmen on the north wall of Tongguan.Huang Zhong's more than [-] longbow chariots were also placed on the river beach, blocking the hundreds of battles in front of the Wei army.These heavy arrows were not concentrated shots, but precise sniper shots, and the huge Wei army fell down with nearly a hundred people in an instant.This killing effect made Wei Jun, who was already in shock, confused again.

Zhang Yan, who was in charge of the westward advance, tried his best to hold down the ground, and at the same time shouted: "Accelerate forward, and there will not be so many hidden arrows after crossing this pass."

As soon as he finished his words, a cavalry commanding soldier chased up from behind, and hurriedly clasped his fists at Zhang Yan and said: "General, the lord ordered you to lead the troops back quickly!"

Chapter 655 Young Deng Ai

Zhang Yan was taken aback when he heard Ling Bing's words, and asked in confusion: "Why do you want me to wait to go back again? What is this tossing?" Just as Ling Bing was about to answer, Zhang Yan was caught off guard by the hot and humid spray on his face.It turned out that the soldier's head was pierced by a heavy arrow, blood and brains splashed across Zhang Yan's face.

Zhang Yan's courage suddenly froze, and he curled up on the saddle unconsciously, surrounded by several cavalry with tiger-headed shields to guard him.He said in a weng voice: "The order is that the rear army will become the front army, and the front army will become the rear army. Return to the bank of the Yellow River."

Wei Jun was terrified under the random arrows, and when he heard the military order to retreat, he rushed forward like a tide, as if he had been amnesty.During this period, Wei Jun was shot and killed two or 300 people.

Zhang Yan came to Xia Houyuan holding his breath in his heart, clasped his fists and said, "Commander, why did you recall the last general?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan said more impatiently than him: "Hurry up to report from the rear. A Liang army appeared from nowhere and appeared in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River. It is approaching Luoyang. There are no defenders in Luoyang now. It will definitely be captured by the Liang army." Take advantage of the situation. We must return to Luoyang immediately, otherwise you and I will not be able to bear the crime."

Zhang Yan said "Ah..." tongue-tied.

……

The Liang army that suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River was not the main force of the Liang army from Fangcheng.At this time, Fangcheng had just been breached, and the main force of the Liang army was taking a short rest in Fangcheng, and the news had not even reached Yecheng.

The Liang army that came was exactly the Liang army that assembled in Shangluo.It is mainly composed of two thousand ostrich infantry from the Dianwei Army and Wei Feng, as well as the longbow chariot originally belonging to the Zhang Liao Army.Like Wei Feng's army, Dianwei's army mainly fought on foot.The difference is that the Dianwei Legion made good use of Viking warships to conduct assaults along the inland river.

The southeast of Shangluo is the upper reaches of the Luoshui River, which is not suitable for navigation.But Viking ships have the ability to travel in mountain rivers with shallow rapids.Moreover, Liang Guo has been operating in Shangluo for many years, and embankments with ship locks have been built on many river sections to make it easier for ships to navigate.

The vast majority of people in the world are naturally not clear about this, but Feng Yu, who is the emperor of Liang, knows it all.Therefore, he planned to send a surprise army from the Luoshui waterway to attack Luoyang. Even if Luoyang failed to conquer in the end, he could restrain the Wei army who attacked Tongguan.

Dian Wei led thousands of Liang troops to set off from Shangluo on hundreds of large and small Viking ships. First, they easily captured Lushi County, which was guarded by only a thousand soldiers and three thousand reclamation soldiers, and then continued down the river.After a day and a night of sailing, the Luoshui waterway became smoother, and they had entered the boundary of Hongnong.

The banks of the Luoshui River are already shaded by willow trees, and the Viking ships on the river are covered with flags and flags.Dian Wei, Wei Feng and several other Liang Jun generals were on the same boat, talking and discussing.

"Yiyang is ahead, and Luoyang is thirty or forty miles after passing Yiyang. From this point of view, we can enter Luoyang before sunset today. Luoyang is the nominal capital of Wei State. As the first attack Liang Jun who entered Luoyang, this is our great honor." A general said with joy.

Wei Feng said indifferently: "Don't be too confident, arrogant soldiers are easy to lose. After all, Luoyang is also the nominal capital of Wei State. Even if the garrison force is small, it can resist our army for a while with its strong defense."

Seeing that it was Wei Feng, the uncle of the country, the general immediately said seriously: "What General Wei said is true, the general will not be educated."

Dian Wei yelled at the side: "Leave Luoyang alone, let's take down this Yiyang next to Luoshui first." At this time, the outline of Yiyang City in the distance had already appeared in their field of vision.

……

In the barracks of the Wei Army in Yiyang City, a young general who was only in his twenties and had an immature face was drawing a map at his desk.

A commanding soldier suddenly broke into the tent and reported: "I want to report to the captain, more than [-] large and small warships of Liang Jun are sailing towards the county town along the Luoshui waterway, and they are now less than ten miles away from the county town."

The young general didn't raise his head, he said calmly: "Understood, you go to pass the order, close the four gates, gather the soldiers, and prepare for the battle!"

His surname is Deng and his name is Ai. He is only 19 years old at the moment.The vast majority of people in the world would not have thought that Liang Jun would attack Luoyang from the Luoshui waterway, but Deng Ai was one of the very few people who could think of it.

Deng Ai made such a judgment not because he had additional information, but because he loved to observe mountains and rivers and terrain, and inquire about military affairs in the world.He knew that Liang Jun had a kind of boat that could sail in the shoals and torrents, and he personally went to Lushi County to check the mountains and rivers bordering Liangjing in the southwest of Hongnong, as well as the Luoshui River in it, and decided that when the time was right, Liang Jun They will definitely enter Luoyang from Luoshui.

It's just that he is just a county lieutenant led by the rank of captain, he is soft-spoken, and he can't upload to heaven to listen to his repeated admonitions.Even to Xia Houyuan, who was in charge of Hongnong's military and political affairs, Zhang Yan's letter was like a stone cow sinking into the sea, without any reply.

So he could only secretly prepare for Liang Jun who might attack from Luoshui.Deng Ai can only use [-] soldiers and [-] local auxiliary soldiers, so he can only rely on various traps in the water and on land to deal with the delayed Liang army's attack.

……

"Bang, crackling!" After a strange loud noise, there were several consecutive exclamations, and Dian Wei, Wei Feng and others stood up from the bottom of the cabin in shock, and looked into the distance.I saw the hull of the most front Viking ship shaking violently, the soldiers on board were in a mess, shouting, and the draft of the hull seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.

Dian Wei just asked, "What's going on?" There was another loud noise that was almost the same. Accompanied by this sound, another boat tilted violently, and several soldiers fell into the water.This time Dian Wei heard the soldiers shouting clearly: "It's not good! We've hit a rock, and we've entered the water!"

Wei Feng wondered to himself, "How can there be hidden reefs in such a section of the river? Besides, even ordinary hidden reefs can be crossed by Viking ships with a rather shallow draft."

At this time, the same situation happened to three or four ships one after another.Some commanding soldiers paddled their rafts to report: "General Qi, there are artificially hidden reefs in the river ahead, and there are also river-blocking ropes ahead."

Dian Wei exclaimed: "Could it be that the Wei army knew in advance that our army would enter Luoyang through the Luoshui waterway! So set up an ambush here?" He looked nervously at the woods on both sides of the river as he spoke, but there was no movement at all.

Wei Feng was the first to order: "Quickly order the entire army to abandon their ships and land, and organize a defensive formation immediately after landing."

The densely packed Viking ships then approached the shore.Centaurs, ostriches, crossbows, luggage, and various weapons and equipment were unloaded onto the land one after another. The spear and shield soldiers formed an army formation early, and the war cavalry began to patrol the shore.Dozens of scouts and eagle dogs rushed into the woods on both sides of the bank...

Chapter 656

Dian Wei and Wei Feng waited quietly by the river bank, thousands of infantry formed a defensive formation around them.Three shield walls and a river surrounded a huge open space.On the open space, the luggage unloaded from the ship was piled up, and horses and ostriches were parked.Some supply soldiers are assembling the unloaded parts of the longbow chariot.

There was the sound of dogs barking and two or three screams in the distant woods, and then everything returned to calm.After a few quarters of an hour, a few riders emerged from the sparse willow forest, and they were the scouts that Dian Wei had sent out.

"General Qi, we did not find any traces of a large number of enemy ambushes, but we found two secret agents of the Wei army hiding in the forest. We wanted to capture these two men, but they resisted desperately and killed our hunting dog. I can only shoot them first." The leader of the scouts said as he presented two bloody heads in front of Dian Wei.At this time, the scouts on the other side of the river also returned to report that Wei Jun was not found in the forest on the opposite bank of the river.

Dian Wei was puzzled and said to himself: "Why do you set up hidden reefs in the river and block the river, but don't set up ambushes on the shore?"

Wei Feng also shook his head in puzzlement. According to common sense, since the Wei army had guessed and prepared for the two armies to attack from the Luoshui waterway, and set up hidden reefs and even set up scouts to monitor it, how could it be possible not to set up ambushes?Of course they didn't know, they expected that they would attack from Luoshui, and General Wei who did these things was just a little captain.

Dian Wei finally threw the two pebbles in his hand to the ground and said: "No matter how many there are, we will continue to march into Yiyang. Send the order and the whole army will move out. In addition, send more scouts to explore the way ahead."

Liang Jun quickly lined up in a marching formation, and continued along the zigzag river bank towards Yiyang City, which was already in sight. Since many infantry were walking forward and carrying luggage, the speed was very slow.After walking less than three miles, they heard the scream of arrows piercing through the air, which was a warning from the scouts ahead.Wei Feng first exclaimed: "There is an ambush", and Dian Wei hurriedly stopped the whole army.

After a long time, a Liang Jun scout with an arrow on his shoulder and a bloody face came to report: "General, there are Wei Jun crossbowmen lying in ambush ahead. The number is unknown. Two of our brothers have already died." Under their arrows."

Dian Wei waved his hand and said, "The Qingqi Battalion is out and going to kill the enemy army lying in ambush ahead."

Soon, nearly five hundred Qingqi Feiyu rushed forward under the leadership of the scouts.But when they arrived at the scene, they found nothing except two Liang Jun scouts who were shot like hedgehogs.

When Dian Wei heard the reward, he screamed angrily and jumped into a rage.Wei Feng said to him: "Liang Jun repeatedly harassed us, but they still didn't ambush us with heavy troops. It means that they are probably short of troops. Why don't they lead a team of light cavalry to open the way ahead." Dian Wei nodded.

Wei Feng and five hundred Qingqi galloped on the path less than five feet wide, and the outline of Yiyang City became more and more clear.At this moment, Wei Feng's vigilant ears heard the sound of an arrow piercing through the air, he hastily lowered his head and shouted loudly: "There is an enemy in ambush!" An arrow flew past his head.Of course, it wasn't just this one arrow that flew towards Liang Jun Qingqi, but dozens or hundreds of them. A dozen of Qingqi were hit by arrows in an instant, and amidst the howling and neighing of the horses, either people were injured or the horses died.

However, Liang Jun had judged the direction of the incoming arrows at the first time, and they drew their bows and released arrows one after another. Hundreds of arrows were densely and uninterruptedly shot towards the grass where the opponent's crossbowman was hiding.Those enemy archers hiding in the grass obviously underestimated the enemy, and they shot at Liang Jun in spite of themselves.This made Qingqi Feiyu more sure of their target position.The arrows fired by nearly five hundred bows became more intensive, and there were screams one after another in the grass in the distance.

At this moment, Wei Feng had judged that the opponent's troops were not many, he shouted: "Rush forward, try to catch some alive." Immediately, five hundred Qingqi galloped out while unleashing bows and arrows.The shooting of the enemy crossbowmen in the grass stopped abruptly, but there were seven or eight neighing sounds from Liang Jun's own side, and several Liang Jun riders were immediately knocked off by the horses with their hooves raised high.Someone has already shouted: "There is a trap! It's barbed wire!"

All the riders were forced to stop galloping, dismounted, and while bowing and shooting arrows continued to shoot wildly, they slowly approached the opponent's possible hiding place.In the end, they found more than [-] corpses strewn about in the grass, but the other party obviously didn't just warm you up so much, and the rest should have been evacuated safely.

A Liang Jun suddenly exclaimed: "There is still a living." Immediately, several Liang soldiers dragged a soldier with two arrows stuck in his body out of the chaotic grass.Dian Wei snorted coldly: "Bandage him, don't die. Then wake him up!" Liang Jun's military attendant immediately bandaged the captured Wei Bing and gave him two sips of water. Let him come to his senses.

Dian Wei and Wei Feng interrogated the prisoner, and they got a clear picture of the situation in Yiyang City.When Dian Wei knew that he was only a small captain who had blocked him for so long and lost so many soldiers and horses, he was very angry.Cursing in his mouth: "Deng Ai, Deng Ai, wait for someone to grab you, and I can't see that you have cramped your tendons and peeled off your skin."

Wei Feng said from the side: "Since this is the case, let's stop wasting time and hurry up to Yicheng city!"

Now that he knew the opponent's hole cards, Liang Jun was no longer afraid to act. Cavalry, ostrich infantry, and chariots marched towards Yiyang at high speed, intending to block Deng Ai and his small group of Wei troops in the city as soon as possible.The heavy soldiers and a group of heavy cavalry walked slowly behind the food and grass vehicles.

During the rest of the journey, a small group of Wei Jun still harassed Liang Jun.But this time, Liang Jun was no longer the same as before, but immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation, beheading dozens of Wei Jun soldiers.After that, until Liang Junbing arrived at the foot of Yicheng City, Wei Jun never dared to attack Liang Jun again.

When Dian Wei and Wei Feng saw that the four gates of Yiyang City were closed, they issued an order.War cavalry and chariots came out everywhere, and all the gates of Yiyang were tightly sealed in an instant.Only then did Dian Wei let his soldiers come forward and shout, asking the officers and soldiers of the Wei army in the city to leave the city and surrender.Unexpectedly, after shouting for a long time, there was no response at all.

Dian Wei snorted coldly, stepped forward and stationed himself at the foot of the horse city, and shouted loudly to the city wall: "This is General Dian Wei, General Fuhu of the Great Liang, so ask your captain, Deng Ai, to come out and speak!"

Unexpectedly, Wei Jun had a response this time, and a voice came from the top of the city: "A certain is Deng Ai, if you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have to fart, let it go!"

Chapter 657

Deng Ai's words made Dian Wei's nose crooked in anger.Dian Wei shouted again: "Show your face and talk to someone, why hide your head and tail."

Deng Ai's voice replied: "I'm not stupid. I know that you are good archers. If you show your head, you will be shot and killed on the spot. What should I do?"

Dian Wei hehe sneered and said: "I have never used this method to kill an enemy general, you can rest assured." But in fact, under Wei Feng's secret command, several longbowmen have already bent their bows and set their arrows, and they just waited. When Deng Ai showed his head, he shot him.

But the other party was not fooled, still refused to show his face, but responded: "Speak up if you have something to say, why do you need to show your face?" There are still hundreds of thousands of troops coming, you quickly open the city gate and surrender to our beam, otherwise when the city is broken, you will be smashed to pieces."

But Deng Ai laughed loudly and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to break this city. Listen to a certain advice, lead the troops back the same way as soon as possible, don't ask yourself to be humiliated." After saying this, the city fell into silence. Let Dianwei shout and drink, but he doesn't answer.

Seeing this, Dian Wei could only attack by force.In the sound of the horn, thousands of soldiers patrolled and formed an army formation to attack the city.Immediately, Liang Jun's several shield walls advanced towards the city of Yiyang amidst the sound of rumbling drums.The two captains of archers lined up in the rear, bowed their bows and set their arrows, and closely monitored the city.The two heads quietly poked out from behind the battlements to look out, and then a dozen heavy arrows were shot out in unison.The two Wei soldiers fell heavily to the ground without even making a sound, each with several arrows stuck in their heads.After that, no one at the top of the city dared to show their heads rashly.

Liang Jun, who had reached the city wall less than fifty steps, set up a row of portable crossbows and began to throw explosive bombs at the top of the city.A fireball flew away.But what surprised Liang Jun was that some hot bombs should have landed on the top of the city, but the expected soaring flames did not appear, that is, the hot bombs did not detonate.It turned out that Deng Ai had done a lot of research on Liang Jun's hot bombs, although it was impossible for him to come up with the formula for the hot bombs.But he figured out the principle of the deflagration of the hot bomb on the ground.That is, Liang Jun's explosive bomb must be shattered after it hits the ground, allowing the fuel to overflow from it, and then be ignited by the pre-ignited fire outside.

Therefore, Deng Ai asked the soldiers to put a grid made of wood and bamboo on the top of the city early, then spread linen on the grid, and finally piled a thick layer of fine sand on the linen.In this way, a thick buffer layer was formed at the head of the city.After Liang Jun's explosive bomb fell on the top of the city, the clay pot could not be shattered, and naturally the scene of deflagration could not occur.Due to the absence of the flame guidance of the previous deflagration bombs, the hot bombs fired later could not correct their positions, and even the hit rate dropped a lot.

Under the city, Dian Wei also found that there were almost no flames rising from the top of the city, which was very different from the scene he had seen before when the explosive bombs bombarded the top of the city.So he asked the general in charge of the ballista, "Why didn't a single explosive bomb hit the city?"

"General Qi, for some reason, the hot bomb should have landed on the top of the city, but it just didn't work. Maybe... maybe the clay pot of the hot bomb was made too thick."

Dian Wei had no choice but to order the pawns to attack in advance.Following a series of booming sounds, dozens of hooks were thrown out by the portable ballista that arrived at the bottom of the city, and there were rope ladders hanging behind them.Dian Wei's attack this time was a quick assault, so he only brought enough food and grass for the entire army, horses and ostriches for more than ten days, and some simple siege equipment such as ladders.Because the waterway was blocked, those ladders and other objects could not be brought in, so the only way to attack the city was with claws and ladders.

Nearly a hundred of the first climbed dead soldiers carefully selected from Liang Jun's infantry jumped out of the shield wall and climbed up the soft ladder, followed by a large number of infantry behind them.At this time, the city of Yiyang was still unresponsive.

Until the first batch of dead men climbed to less than a few feet away from the top of the city.Hundreds of Wei soldiers armed with sharp axes and rattan shields rushed out suddenly, and the sharp axes clanged on the ropes of the ladder, cutting off the ladder with a few blows.Several Liang Bing clinging to the ladder fell down to the city amidst screams.

Almost at the same time, Commander Liang's archers and arrows flew towards the swordsmen, but most of them were blocked by the rattan shields in their hands.Only a few or a dozen people were shot down at the top of the wall because they couldn't dodge it.Just because these dozen people were shot down by arrows, and there were still more than a dozen soft ladders that were not cut off, the Liang Junxian ascended the dead men on the top to take this opportunity to jump to the top of Yiyang city.

But what appeared in their sight was a dense forest of spears and spears. Hundreds of auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army squatted behind a scull shield along the inner edge of the city wall. The Wei army's auxiliary soldiers closed their eyes, gritted their teeth, and thrust forward with all their spears without looking at the target.The dense spears immediately smashed all the Liang soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the city into a sieve, and fell down from the crenel screaming.Liang Jun in the rear continued to charge upwards, still falling down the city in the bloody wind.

Dian Wei saw that the siege had entered the mode of giving away heads, so he had no choice but to order: "Retract the troops!".With the sound of gongs, Liang Jun's army retreated from Yiyang City like an ebb tide, and stopped outside the hundred battles.The remaining dozen or so soft ladders were also cut off by Wei Jun.

Dian Wei and Wei Feng squatted on the ground, pondered for a long time, but couldn't find a better way to break the city.Dian Wei spun around anxiously like ants on a hot pot, but Wei Feng squatted on the ground with his head bowed in silence.In the end, Wei Feng finally raised his head and said to Dian Wei: "The objective of the mission given to us by the Holy Majesty is mainly to attract and restrain the main force of the Wei army from attacking Tongguan by attacking Luoyang. We don't have to take Luoyang!"

Dian Wei spread his arms and said, "Even if we don't intend to capture Luoyang, but just pretend to attack, Yiyang must be captured. Otherwise, our retreat may be cut off by the Wei army, and we will become a lone army and be followed The main force of the Wei army surrounded them."

Wei Feng immediately said: "It's not that I don't care about Yiyang and take Luoyang directly. It's just that we divide our troops and stay behind to surround Yiyang, and a certain one leads the other division to take only a few days' worth of dry food and quickly raid Luoyang. Zao Meizao hit it with a pole first. It can be considered that we have done our best to complete the confession of the Holy Majesty."

Dian Wei thought for a moment and said: "It's feasible, anyway, we don't have any better way now. But as long as the main force of the Wei army comes, you must come back in time to meet with someone, so as not to fall into the siege of the Wei army. Otherwise, your country I, Lao Dian, can't afford to take care of uncle's troubles."

Half an hour later, more than two thousand ostrich infantry, plus two teams of light and heavy cavalry, bypassed Yiyang and galloped towards Luoyang.

Chapter 658 Cao Pi was furious

Under the city of Yiyang, Dian Wei led the remaining Liang army to continue to block the city from all sides.Deng Ai in the city did not panic at all, because he believed that the grain and grass brought by Liang Jun was only enough for a few days, while the granary in Yiyang City had accumulated enough grain and grass for Wei Jun in the city to use for several months.

It took Wei Feng only half a day to arrive at Luoyang City. At this time, under Cao Wei's governance for nearly 20 years, Luoyang City had basically recovered its luxuriance as the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it had also been built in the outer city without city walls. A low earth wall.When the soldiers and civilians in the city saw this Liang army falling from the sky, they were all panicked, and hurriedly pulled up all the suspension bridges at the exits, and closed the city gates.Soldiers and civilian husbands patrol and guard the city day and night.

It's just that Luoyang City is too big, and the current Luoyang defenders only have about [-] soldiers and about [-] auxiliary soldiers.It is no problem for these troops to guard the inner city with tall walls and a short defense line.However, it is impossible to keep the outer city protected by a moat and low earth walls with a circumference of more than [-] miles.

Especially for Wei Feng's fast-moving troops, it was like a sieve.

In the evening of the same day, a group numbering thousands, consisting of war cavalry, ostrich cavalry and longbow chariots, galloped around the outer city of Luoyang.The guards of the Wei Army on the soil wall of Luoyang Outer City spotted them immediately, but they didn't know where they would attack, so they could only look at them eagerly.When Wei Feng reached the south gate of the outer city, he suddenly rushed towards the city wall.Dozens of Wei soldiers sparsely distributed at the top of the city were knocked down by the longbowmen on the longbow chariot one after another. Then, those tall warriders easily crossed the five or six-foot-deep moat and attacked the city with flying claws.

A 2000-strong reserve infantry that Wei Jun had already deployed in the middle of Luoyang City immediately drove away to support.Unexpectedly, just as they rushed to the south gate, another Liang army suddenly appeared outside the north gate, attacking the outer city of Luoyang with the same tactics.These Liang troops at the south gate also stopped attacking, and continued to drive horses and birds to the north gate.Only then did Wei Jun know that he had been fooled, but when they passed through the city panting, they rushed to the north gate a few miles away.Liang Jun's heavy cavalry had also entered the city tower, opened the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge, and hundreds of Liang Jun poured into the city.

By this time, Wei Jun, who was in a panic, did not dare to start street fighting with Liang Jun in the outer city, so he had to retreat into the inner city to hold on.Liang Jun war cavalry and ostriches galloped around the streets and alleys in the outer city, clearing the future and the Wei soldiers who retreated into the inner city... However, compared with the more than 2000 Liang soldiers in the outer city of Luoyang, which has a population of tens of thousands and a circumference of more than [-] miles, Too massive to actually control.So Wei Feng's move was just to create momentum, he harassed the city and then retreated.

At the same moment when Wei Feng invaded the outer city of Luoyang, in the Wei court in Yecheng, the monarchs and ministers were like ants on a hot pot.They had just received the news that Fangcheng had been captured by Liang Jun and Xu Huang Sima Fu was missing.
