This battle is not easy to fight!

Looking at the army that was unhurriedly approaching Luoyang City, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but sink a little, not for anything else, just because although it was far away, Li Xian had already seen the strength of the Yue Wang's army - Li Xian himself led the troops all the year round, and he knew that it was not easy to march in the snow, and now the rhythm of the Yue Wang's march was excellent, and the march at this speed could keep the queue neat and save physical strength, there was no doubt that he was a well-trained teacher, which was naturally not a very good thing for Li Xian who wanted to defend the lonely city, of course, fear was fear, Li Xian didn't care very much, after all, how many vicious battles have been fought, and at the moment there is such a danger, Li Xian can't believe it.

"Stop, line-up!"

Compared with Li Xian's coldness at the head of the city, Li Zhen, who rode a horse in the middle army, was complacent, looking at the tall city walls of Luoyang City that was gradually approaching, the eagerness in his eyes was almost undisguised, as if he had already entered the general, of course, fantasy is fantasy, Li Zhen was not so proud that he got carried away, and waited for the army to come two miles away from the city, but when he saw that he raised his hand, he gave the order to line up under the city.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

Li Zhen gave an order, and the herald who followed him sounded the horn vigorously, and the army that was marching quickly stopped, and quickly set up a secondary attack formation under the city, but when he saw that the flag was waving, the murderous aura rose into the air, and it was extremely pressing!

"Father, please be the first to attack, and I beg my father to grant permission!"

The army had just lined up the formation, Li Chong couldn't hold it back, and led a few guards to rush to the Chinese army with a proud force, and dismounted from the saddle, bowed his body with a bow, and shouted for battle.

"My son is not in a hurry, the battle has to be fought by you, our army is rebelled by the edict of the first emperor, and it must finally be announced to the world, this is the way to salute first and then soldier."

Li Zhen also wants to take Luoyang in one go, not only to avenge the revenge of being chased a few days ago, but also to want to ascend the throne as soon as possible in order to seize the name of righteousness, but his mind is not dizzy because of this, he knows that the siege battle is not a child's play, and when he has not yet prepared the siege equipment, he will launch blindly, and nine times out of ten he will hit the wall and return, in case it hurts the morale of the army, it will be a big trouble, of course, Li Zhen is not in a hurry to attack the city There are other factors, that is, he already knows that Luoyang is a lonely city, Even if Li Xian issued an edict to the king of Qin, the armies of the states did not want to gather together in three or two months, and the accurate news that the avalanche of the mountain had been closed, the most feared Hexi army was difficult to rush to Luoyang City in a short time, he could deal with it calmly, launch a strong attack in the best state, and conquer Luoyang City in a battle!

"Father Shengming!"

Although Li Chong is bent on defeating Li Xian, he has shown his ability, but he also knows that this time is not the best time to attack the city, and the reason why he is in a hurry to ask for battle is just a gesture, not for the war itself, but to please Li Zhen.

"Well, come, go, and tell the thieves in the city to the thieves!"

Li Zhen was obviously very satisfied with Li Chong's humility and courage to ask for battle, nodded with satisfaction, and then raised his voice to break his throat, and a civil official with a loud voice suddenly responded to the promise, leading several armor soldiers to rush to the city.

"The people in the city listen, the traitor Li Xian killed his father and imprisoned his mother, and he was rebellious, my prince was edicted by the first emperor and came to beg for the thief. If there is stubborn resistance, our army will be released, and you will be buried for the traitor, leaving a stench for 10,000 years......"

The civil official sent by Li Zhen had a very loud voice, his voice was extremely loud, and his arrogant appearance was really hateful to the extreme, and before he could finish speaking, the guards of the East Palace at the head of the city were already scolded.

"Fetch the bow!"

Li Xian has never been a good match, this time the civil official was full of firewood, he was too lazy to listen to it anymore, as soon as he raised his hand, he said coldly, and the guards who were waiting around him handed Li Xian's customary iron tire bow up.

"Whoosh!"

Since returning from Hexi, Li Xian has not been in battle for many years, but his martial arts have not been put down, and his archery skills are the same, but seeing that Li Xian only used force, he had already pulled the iron tire bow of the eight stones round, aiming at the subordinate official of the Yue Wangfu who was one hundred and fifty steps away from the city is an arrow, but after listening to the sound of a string, the eagle feather arrow had pierced the sky like a flying flying from the sky, and roared into the throat of the subordinate official of the Yue Wangfu. When even if he could no longer die, the soldiers who followed him next to him were so frightened that they didn't even bother to clean up the corpses of civil officials, and they beat their horses in panic and fled back to their own formation.

"Your Majesty Kamui!"

"Hooray!"

"Shoot well, thief nonsense, deserve to kill!"

……

Seeing that the armor soldiers were embarrassed, the guards of the East Palace at the head of the city all cheered in unison, pointing at the army under the city, laughing and scolding, and for a while, the momentum of the defenders at the head of the city suddenly rose.

"Wang Fangming!"

Although it is not a big deal to shoot a civil official who shouts, it may hit the arrogance of the Yue Wang's army, but it is not bad, of course, Li Xian did not intend to stop there, and after throwing the iron tire bow to the guards around him, he drank calmly.

"Wechen is here!"

Wang Fangming waited on the side, and when he heard Li Xian's name, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and answered.

"Decree!"

Li Xian didn't look back, but just ordered indifferently.

"No!"

Wang Fangming responded respectfully, strode to the city saucer, leaned out, looked at the hundreds of thousands of troops under the city as nothing, stretched out his hand and took out a yellow silk masked holy decree from the wide sleeves, spread it out, carried enough energy, and preached loudly: "The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: The traitor Li Zhen, as an important minister of the society, does not want to serve the former emperor Longen, but is in the company of traitors, ravages the court first, rebels against the society and Ji last, his crime should be punished, and you and others are disobedient to evil, and it is also a heinous crime. Those who take Li Zhen's head will be forgiven for their original sins, rewarded with ten thousand dollars, sealed ten thousand households, and those who take their rebellion against the sons will be rewarded with money......"

"Yan Wanshan, take your people up and shoot that bastard to death for Lone!"

Li Zhen came with troops this time, it can be said that he was full of ambition, but first he was shot by Li Xian to kill the messenger who passed the message, as if he had been slapped in the face, and then he heard Wang Fangming sell himself at a real price like this, and the anger in his heart "poofed", thinking that he had a strong army, he refused to be pressed by Li Xian in vain, so he roared and gave an order.

"No!"

Yan Wanshan was originally a giant bandit in the rivers and lakes, and then voted for Li Zhen, and has been responsible for doing some shady deeds by his side, and there are many brave people who dare to die, this time he was appointed by Li Zhen as the deputy general of the Chinese army, and he is very high-spirited, this time he listened to Li Zhen's order, and after answering a voice, he led five hundred cavalry to rush out of the formation like thunder, and galloped towards the city like a meteor.

Look for death!

The siege battle, the first is morale, this point, Li Xian knows better than anyone else, whether it is to shoot the subordinate official of the Yue Wangfu before, or to let Wang Fangming announce the decree, there is only one fundamental purpose, that is, to provoke Li Zhen, the best result is to make him attack the city without sufficient preparation, in order to hit his morale, even if he has not, it is good to kill and injure some of his soldiers and horses first, because of this, seeing Yan Wanshan leading his troops to rush over, Li Xian was not angry but happy, sneered, raised his hand, and ordered loudly: "Prepare the bow and crossbow!" ”

"Raise your bow!"

Yan Wanshan has been in the Beijing division for many years, and he has not seen Li Xian's strength, so he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness, and he had already made up his mind not to fight with Li Xian for a long time when he galloped on his horse, and after preparing a round of cavalry shooting, he withdrew immediately, and because of this, when he was still a full three hundred steps away from the city, he had already roared and gave the order.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot!"

The galloping cavalry team soon rushed to a distance of less than eighty paces from the city, Li Xian in the city and Yan Wanshan under the city gave the order to shoot almost at the same time, and in an instant, the dark cloud composed of two steel arrows flew up almost simultaneously, staggered, and rushed towards their respective targets.

The firing range of the Datang standard riding bow is shorter than the step bow, and the effective firing range is only about forty-five steps, but Yan Wanshan uses a special strong bow with a range of sixty steps, and with the help of the horse's momentum, the effective firing range has been expanded to seventy steps, speaking of which is already the elite division of the Tang elite, this rain of arrows attack is not trivial, but unfortunately the defenders of the city have already prepared, a huge shield covered with raw cowhide suddenly stands, and an indestructible shield wall has appeared at the head of the city. Let the arrow rain snort non-stop, but it is difficult to hurt the defenders in the slightest, on the other hand, Yan Wanshan's department is miserable - the range of the chain crossbow in the hands of the guards of the East Palace is already higher than that of ordinary bows and crossbows, and the flat shooting has an effective range of sixty steps, which is condescending at this time, and the effective range is as far as eighty steps, as soon as such a powerful arrow rain falls, although the unobstructed Yan Wanshan department raised the cavalry round shield in time, but how much area can a small round shield cover, how can it block the looting of steel arrows in the sky, In an instant, nearly thirty people fell from their horses with a miserable howl.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Wanshan dared to be beaten in the same place again, roared, and led his troops to flee back to the main formation, and the embarrassment suddenly provoked the ridicule of the defenders at the head of the city for a while.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the prince."

Not to mention that the impact was fruitless, and some of the soldiers and horses were broken, Yan Wanshan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and after the horse returned to the main formation, he asked himself to come with a red face.

"General Yan doesn't have to be like this, he is careless. Order, retreat a mile, and set up camp! ”

Under the unfavorable surprise attack, Li Zhen calmed down, knowing that he had fallen for Li Xian's radical strategy, which had damaged his morale, and he refused to fight like this again......
