Chapter 195: Breaking the City
"General Zhang, it's time for us to go!" Luo Shixin and the others looked at the scene in front of them, holding back the surging blood in their hearts, he still had an important task on his side. Yang Jian arranged for him to follow Zhang Xutuo to capture the south gate, because although they were cavalry and their combat power was extraordinary, once they succeeded in capturing the gate, they would immediately become foot soldiers, and their weaknesses would be exposed, so his existence was to calm the scene.
"Let's go!" Zhang Xutuo also took his heart back, and it will be their turn to appear later.
Fifteen thousand riders quietly departed when everyone's attention was attracted by the scene, and they had to retreat beyond Luoyang's vision and then make a detour to the south gate.
"Hold on! Death to those who retreat! "In the face of the powerful offensive of the Qingzhou army, the morale of the defenders of Luoyang was weakening.
"Boom!"
Stones and explosives bags continue to fall on the city, taking away fresh lives. However, because the Qingzhou soldiers had begun to climb the city wall, the trebuchet had to take these into account, so it had to calculate accurately and not injure its own people by mistake, so the speed of the projection was greatly slowed down.
"There are not many equipment to defend the city, save a little, aim and throw it again!" After two days of consumption, the equipment is already insufficient, don't look at Luoyang City, but the logistics are not good, the logistics can't keep up, and they have long been replenished, but there is no movement for a long time, but the soldiers are still throwing around, so Chen Zhiluo scolded.
"Lord Yuan, the enemy army is attacking in unison. The offensive is fierce and the soldiers have suffered heavy losses, why don't we meet Your Majesty face to face and ask Your Majesty to send a forbidden army to help? On the one hand, Wang Shichong saw that his own men and horses had suffered a large loss, so he paid attention to Yang Tong's head, and instigated Yuan Wendu to go together.
"What Lord Wang said is reasonable." Yuan Wendu also wants to preserve his strength.
"Your Majesty, the war outside the city is tight, and the soldiers are tired, please send troops to help!" Duan Da said to Yang Tong, Wang Shichong and Yuan Wendu, people who regard themselves as their identities disdain to speak on their own.
"I heard that Uncle Wang is looking for someone to raise troops to attack, why doesn't King Zheng hand over the people, call off their troops, and shake hands and make peace?" Yang Tong is not stupid, his tens of thousands of forbidden troops completely belong to him, if he hands it over, then can he still sit on the throne? Since he ascended the throne, what he said was not as good as what Wang Shichong and Yuan Wen both said, and if he didn't understand his situation, he would be a waste, so he wouldn't hand over the life-saving things easily.
"Your Majesty......"
"Needless to say, this king is tired, you Aiqing kneel down."
"Humph! His wings hardened, and he forgot how he got his throne! Out of the palace, Yuan Wen was furious.
"Lord Yuan doesn't have to be like this, does he think that he will be better off if the city is broken? It's really naïve, we don't have to care, the problem now is to block Yang Jin's men and horses, it's getting dark this day, they have attacked for a day, and they should retreat. Wang Shichong's anger was not vented like Yuan Wendu, there was no hope, it seems that they still have to rely on themselves to defend the city.
"Lord Wang, the enemy's offensive is still fierce, and there is no sign of retreat! The soldiers can't stand it anymore! Requesting support? After dark, Chen Zhiluo sent someone to report the situation.
"What?! How so? "Wang Shichong is also stupid, does he Yang Jian want to capture Luoyang today?
"Go, take the king's warrant to go to the south gate to transfer half of the troops to the east gate, and bring the man in prison to the east gate!" There are not many people in the south gate, and now if half of them are transferred, the defense will be even weaker, but Wang Shichong has no choice. Of course, bringing Han Shige with him may still be a trump card, and it can be seen that Yang Jun can use this person as an excuse to attack him wantonly, and it is estimated that this person must be a more important person.
"General, the situation has been revealed, some of the defenders of the south gate have already gone to support, and now there are only a few thousand people left." A soldier who had gone to inquire about the news came to report.
"Only thousands? Okay, it's up to you masters to wait! "It's going to be dark this day, and about half of the troops at the south gate have been transferred, which is just right for the attack.
"Don't worry, we'll cut down the drawbridge, you wait for news." Tan Zong signaled to Zhang Xutuo and then set off.
The east gate of Luoyang, at this time and already a river of blood, has also reached the most critical moment.
"Follow me! The enemy is almost unable to hold on! After a day of fighting, the soldiers were tired, but the enemy was even more tired, and the firepower from the city was getting thinner and thinner.
Suddenly, there was a great light on the city, and a crowd of people poured out.
"Ding, ding, ding!" At this time, Mingjin's voice came from the rear, and all the soldiers wondered, didn't they say that they took Luoyang in one go, and it was almost over, how to save Mingjin's handle?
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Cheng Yanjin and Jin Yu and other generals were very unwilling to lead the people to retreat, and at this time, Yang Xuan also happened to lead the men and horses from the camp to this side.
"Wang Shichong, hurry up and release the person to me, this king can spare you from death!" Yang Jian gritted his teeth and shouted at the city. It turned out that Yang Yong had been watching the battlefield situation, and after seeing the bright light in the city, a wounded person was carried out, although it was far away, but Yang Yong could recognize that person was Han Shige.
"Put? You said just put it?! If you let him go, will you really keep me alive? Don't treat everyone as fools, if you withdraw from the Luoyang realm, I will hand over the people to you, otherwise everyone will be burned! Wang Shichong roared at Yang Jun in the city, he knew that he had made the right bet, Yang Jun was really nervous about this person.
"Fart! Let Lao Han go, otherwise I will level you in Luoyang! When Cheng Yanjin saw that Wang Shichong used Han Shige to threaten them to withdraw from the army, he was extremely angry.
"Lord Wang, leave me alone, attack! Don't let the blood of your brothers be shed in vain! Although Han Shige was already quite weak, he still tried his best to shout out the words in his heart.
"Nope! This king will not leave you alone......"
"Lord Wang, Shifu should have died in battle, being captured is already a discredit to the Qingzhou Army, Wang Ye doesn't have to care about me!" Han Shige interrupted Yang Jun's words and continued.
At this time, there was a shout of killing in the direction of the south gate. When everyone's attention was drawn to him, Han Shige broke away from his grabber and ran towards the edge of the city wall.
"Don't!!" Yang watched Han Shige jump from the city, but there was nothing he could do to stop him.
"Farewell, my brother Qingzhou! Farewell, Lord! Be your guard again in the next life! I didn't disgrace the Qingzhou Army, I didn't disgrace the prince, and I didn't disgrace the Han family! At the end of his consciousness, some thoughts flashed through Han Shige's mind.
"Kill!"
"Kill!!" Every soldier's eyes were red, and the rage of hatred had taken over all their consciousness!
"Withdraw! Evacuate! Wang Shichong didn't expect the scene to suddenly get out of control, knowing that the last trump card was lost, Luoyang couldn't stay any longer.
"Rush! Attack it! Seeing that the drawbridge was cut down, Zhang Xutuo waved his long sword, and ten thousand horsemen rushed in. Luoyang City was finally broken!
