August 15, 1173!

Luoyang City of Song Kingdom!

At this time, all the people in the city did not dare to go out, they hid in their homes and locked the doors, the whole street was deserted, and no merchant dared to come out to sell things, even if they dared to sell, no one dared to come to buy it!

There is no other reason, as early as yesterday afternoon, the 800,000 troops of Great Xia have been encamped outside the city, and there will be a possibility of attacking the city at any time!

In the palace of the Song Kingdom at this time!

"A few heads of the house!"

Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty stood in front of the dragon chair and said aloud to the dozens of heads of the domestic families of the Song Kingdom in front of him: "The Xia thief is really shameful, attacking my family and harming my family, if Luoyang City is broken, then my Great Song Dynasty will be in danger of destroying the country, and then all the major families will be murdered by Li Siqi, the empress of the Xia Kingdom, please follow me through the difficult pass!" ”

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!"

A middle-aged family head dressed in dark blue clothes walked out, bowed to Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty, and then spoke: "I heard that the Empress of Xia is benevolent and righteous, how could she murder us merchants?" ”

"That's right!"

Another head of the family spoke: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty wants to come to us as a sword man!" ”

"You, huh!"

Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty was annoyed and ashamed, his plan was exposed, he was quite slapped in the face, and immediately shouted: "Someone, take this person down, put him in prison, and wait for execution!" ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

The middle-aged head of the family, dressed in dark blue clothes, immediately asked in a deep voice, "Are you really trying to use us as swordsmen?" ”

"There's no way, Master He, the plan now is to keep the Song Kingdom!"

Emperor Song Zhao Wuji looked at the chaos of these family heads in front of him, waved his hand, and decided: "Take all these people into custody for me, and do it according to the original plan!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not good to do this!"

It was an old minister of the Song State who spoke, he was really for the good of the Song Kingdom, even if he resisted the Xia Army this time, then even if it was in the country in the future, these families would definitely not let the royal family go!

"Do as I say, go!"

"No!"

Looking at the appearance of Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty at this time, he couldn't stop it, it seemed that the fall of the Song Kingdom was not far away, the old minister shook his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, I hereby ask Your Majesty to resign, let the old minister tell the old man to return to his hometown!" ”

"If you want to go, hurry up!"

Emperor Song Zhao Wuji roared loudly: "You ungrateful people, now that great calamity has come, you will only be like a turtle!" ”

"Your Majesty, the hussar general Zhang Tianyi, the chariot cavalry general Sun Yu, the general Wei Shiwen, and other generals who can fight have all died in battle, what else can we do!"

"What else? Take your lives to defend the city! ”

The civil and military ministers of the Song State blushed one by one, although how much they hoped that the Song State would be strong before, but at this time, how much they hoped that the Xia army could come in as soon as possible!

Obviously, Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty has already deviated from morality at this moment!

……

The city of Luoyang is covered with dark clouds, and people are panicked!

The death of the eldest prince, the second prince, and the three great generals, and the death or surrender of 500,000 soldiers were almost fatal to the Song Emperor Zhao Wuji. The defenders of Luoyang City have lost all morale, and no matter how the generals of the army are inspired, they can only cry out in vain. The people of the city sergeant clan were completely discouraged and disappointed by the succession of the Song Emperor Zhao Wuji's regime.

The catastrophe is coming, and each one is flying!

After learning that the head of their family was imprisoned by the Song Emperor, many families secretly contacted Li Siqi, expressing their intention to surrender, and secretly ordered the private soldiers in the defending army to act at the opportunity.

……

At noon, the Imperial Palace of the Song Kingdom!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has intercepted no less than seven letters from the big clans in the city who have joined Li Siqi......"

Ouyang Feng, the left prime minister of the Song Kingdom, had a solemn face and said in a deep voice, "Now there is an undercurrent surging in Luoyang City, and it is extremely unstable. Your Majesty, the old minister thought that it was impossible to stick to Luoyang...... For today's plan, it is to retreat west to meet with General Han, and then try to make a good plan! ”

Ouyang Feng is the father of Ouyang Qing, the first guard of Pingjiang Pass, and Li Siqi killed Ouyang Qing, so Ouyang Feng will never surrender to Xia Guo!

And what Ouyang Feng said about General Han was talking about Han Da, the general of the western border of the Song Kingdom!

Emperor Song Zhao Wuji sat in the hall in a daze, as if he couldn't hear what Ouyang Feng said. At this moment, Song Emperor Zhao Wuji's confidence has dropped to the lowest point.

"Your Majesty......"

Seeing that Emperor Song Zhao Wuji looked like he was demented, Ouyang Feng asked anxiously.

"Hehe......"

Emperor Song Zhao Wuji seemed to be much more sober, and smiled miserably: "Breakthrough? Ouyang Feng, do you think Li Siqi will let me leave easily? ”

"This ......"

Ouyang Feng was speechless for a while.

Yes, Li Siqi's 800,000 army surrounded the entire southeast and northwest of Luoyang, will they leave safely? The answer is definitely not!

The Song army, which lost the heart of the army with 100,000 alone, wants to break through, can it escape?

————

Li Siqi went all the way west, met the gods and killed the gods, and the news of the demons and demons had already spread throughout the Xia Kingdom, and Zhou Quan thought that it was enough for Guo Jia, a capable minister in the country, to assist, so he arranged for Zhuge Liang to come to the Song Kingdom to give advice. Zhuge Liang came over all the way to make arrangements, these used to be the city gates of the Song Kingdom, and now they are all the guards of the Xia Kingdom!

……

Outside Luoyang City!

"Generals, now Zhao Wuji and his remnants are all cowering in Luoyang City!"

Outside Luoyang City, in the military camp of the Xia Kingdom, Li Siqi gathered all the generals and said: "According to the news of the spies, Han Da in the west of the Song Kingdom is ready to come to the rescue, although General Zhao Yun led the three legions of Bai Ma Yi from the light cavalry to surround and kill, but the short is ten days, the long is half a month, Han Da will inevitably arrive, this is still in the case that General Zhao Yun can grasp the fighter." On the battlefield, everything can happen in an instant, so we must break through Luoyang in a short time and before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, capture Zhao Wuji alive, and nip all possibilities in the bud! ”

"Your Majesty, if Han Da wants to come to Luoyang City, I'm afraid it will be difficult, with the courage of General Zhao Yun, even if Han Da wants to get out, he will have to pay a heavy price, when the time comes, he can come to the aid of Luoyang, and how many soldiers and horses can he have?" Yue Fei carefully analyzed.

Li Siqi said in a deep voice: "What the hussar general said, I naturally thought about it, but I don't want to take this risk. Even if there are few reinforcements, there are many variables, at least, it will make it more difficult for our army to take Luoyang. Therefore, we must find a way to take Luoyang in the shortest possible time, that is, within seven days! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled at this time: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister has a strategy to break the enemy!" ”

Li Siqi was immediately overjoyed after hearing this, and asked urgently: "Strategist, let's try to say it!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said calmly: "Damage its foundation!" ”

"Damaging its foundations?"

Everyone in the tent was stunned, not knowing what Zhuge Liang was referring to, Li Siqi also frowned and asked, "Strategist, please speak clearly!" ”

"Your Majesty, everyone, listen to Liang slowly!"

Zhuge Liang explained unhurriedly: "When the minister came, he found on the road that there was a problem with the foundations of most of the cities in the Song Kingdom. Although Zhao Wuji has been sending people to strengthen these cities over the years, especially such as Luoyang City and Anping City, such large cities and important places, but the city foundation is broken, it does not mean that it can be repaired. Therefore, it is not difficult to break Luoyang City. The minister thought that His Majesty should send soldiers to dig tunnels to the city, and there was no need to dig into the city, but only to hollow out the place under the city. Due to the damage to the city foundation of Luoyang City, it should not take too long to hollow out these places. At that time, His Majesty will attack the city with catapults, bombarding the soil layer of Luoyang City from the surface, and the city will be hollowed out and then attacked, and the Luoyang city wall will inevitably collapse. The city wall is not there, how can the enemy army defending the city with only 100,000 people stop the footsteps of His Majesty's army? ”

"Destroy its walls? Zhuge Liang, it's a shame that you can figure it out! ”

Li Siqi laughed and said, "Uncle sent you over this time to really help me a lot, hahahaha!" ”

"Hehe, in fact, it's nothing, the minister also knows a little bit along the way, but it makes you laugh." Zhuge Liang was not surprised or pleased, and said in a flat voice.

Li Siqi heard it, but he looked at Zhuge Liang with his eyes, and when he saw the latter nodding, he also felt that it was very feasible, so he ordered: "Zhang Liao, you are responsible for digging tunnels!" ”

"No!"

After Zhang Liao responded, he immediately left the camp tent and began to make preparations.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Your Majesty, during the period when our army is digging tunnels, General Lu Bu and others can go to the city every day to fight, and if necessary, they can launch some small-scale attacks. When the tunnel is completed, it is when Luoyang City is broken. ”

"What the military advisor said is reasonable, this time, if Luoyang can be successfully captured, the military advisor should be the first to take credit!"

Li Siqi was overjoyed, he could fully imagine what kind of situation Luoyang would fall into as soon as this yang plot came out, Li Siqi suddenly ordered: "Generals......"

Li Siqi's arrangement did have an effect, first of all, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui (Lu Bu was embarrassed to do such a thing), picking up women's clothes every day to provoke under the city. The angry Song army in the city wanted to open the city gate several times, but they were all forced down by the Song army generals. When Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty and everyone inspected, they found that the soldiers of Li Siqi's army would bring a large number of stones every day, and at the same time, one after another catapults appeared under the city, looking like they were going to attack the city.

Five days later, Luoyang City!

Ouyang Feng said worriedly to Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty: "Your Majesty, now that the Xia army is wantonly building hoarding stones and catapults, if the Xia army is ready, our army will suffer a loss in the siege battle!" ”

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty said calmly: "It doesn't matter, although the Xia army has transported a large number of catapults, but Luoyang City is high, and there are more than 100,000 troops stationed here, even if Li Siqi is assisted by siege equipment, it is not easy to take it." And the purpose of our army is only to delay time, and Li Siqi took a long time to do this, which is exactly what our army wants! ”

Ouyang Feng listened, thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said ......"

However, before Ouyang Feng could say the word "very", Song Emperor Zhao Wuji jumped up and said in a lost voice: "It's not good, it's a trick!" ”

Ouyang Feng had never seen Emperor Song Zhao Wuji lose his temper like this, so he hurriedly asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

"The Xia army brought catapults, not to storm Luoyang, but to dig tunnels and hollow out the city foundation! And then bombard with catapults! ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Song Dynasty said to Lu Su again: "Quick, quickly send someone to dig up from under the city, and see if a large amount of soil can be dug up under the city wall!" ”

[PS] (Don't ask why Li Siqi didn't break the city gate with a sword at this time, because Fengyue wants to write more Braille and also wants to write better, it has always been so monotonous and not very good, so I hope that readers here will not be too entangled, thank you!) ）
