Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The next day, the Long army and the Shu army joined forces to attack Luoyang again, this day's offensive can be much stronger than yesterday, mainly because the large siege weapons of the Long army have all been transported, among which the stone thrower is particularly threatening to the city defenders.

When the Long army began to use trebuchets to attack the defense of Luoyang City from a distance, part of the Han army ran under the wall, and part of the Han army hid behind the arrow battlements.

Listening to the roar of stones smashing against the city wall, people's hearts trembled.

Li Chi and Li Chunyue, brother and sister, came to Xicheng on purpose, but before his brother and sister came closer, they were stopped by the soldiers.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Li Chi hurriedly bowed his hand, pointed to the servant carrying the bucket, and said, "Now that the weather is cold, my little sister and I boiled some hot soup at home and sent it to Your Majesty and the soldiers guarding the city!" ”

A team leader stepped forward, opened the lid of the bucket, and looked inside, the steaming soup was fragrant, mixed with a strong smell of meat.

The team leader couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and now he has two meals a day, and to be honest, his stomach has always been empty and nagging, and there is no oil and water. He was surprised: "This ...... It's broth! ”

Li Chi smiled and said, "It's broth, there is an ice storage in the house, and a lot of ingredients are stored!" After a pause, he immediately said, "If this big brother drinks it, you can drink a bowl first." ”

"This ...... This is really ......" Team leader rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and said with a thick old face: "Then let's have a bowl first!" ”

A servant from the Li Mansion brought a bowl of soup and handed it to the team leader, who thanked him and took it, took a sip, and felt that the whole person was about to float, and a warm current emanated from the outside out.

Next, he drank a large bowl of broth in two or three sips, wiped his mouth, and exclaimed, "It's so hot!" It's been a day since I've drunk such a delicious broth! ”

Li Chi said: "I plan to send it to Your Majesty and the soldiers at the head of the city!" ”

The team leader nodded and said, "Give us the soup, and we'll deliver it for you!" As he spoke, he looked back and said, "Today, the thief army used a stone thrower, and it is too dangerous for you to go up to the city wall!" ”

Li Chi hurriedly said: "This big brother, I'm not afraid of danger!" ”

The team rate is not a fool, people boiled so much broth, the purpose is to show it in front of His Majesty, and they will send it over on their behalf, so what's going on!

He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll lead you over, remember, everything is under my command, don't run around, don't act without permission!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's really troublesome for this big brother! ”

The team leader waved his hand disappreciatively, and took Li Chi, Li Chunyue, brothers and sisters, and a few domestic servants carrying wooden barrels, and went straight to the side of the city wall. There is still some distance from the city wall, you can see rows of stone throwers, there are Han soldiers guarding around, go further, thirty steps away from the city wall, here is the hard-hit area, look at the ground, you can see scattered big stones everywhere, some houses

, has been smashed by falling rocks and only the ruins remain.

Continuing to walk forward, I saw a large number of Han troops hiding under the city wall, holding their shields high one by one. The team leader bent his waist and turned around and shouted: "Follow me, don't fall behind!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he yelled urgently, "Get out of the way!" As he spoke, he moved sideways to the right, and Li Chi and the others who followed behind also hurriedly moved to the right.

Boom –

A falling rock fell from the sky and hit the ground on their sides, and people felt a shock under their feet. Under the leadership of the team, Li Chi and his party finally climbed the city wall without danger.

When they arrived at the city wall, there were more falling rocks here, and the rumbling sound was endless, and people felt that the city wall under their feet was almost in a violent tremor all the time.

Li Chunyue was a girl after all, and her face turned pale with fright at this time, holding her brother's hand tightly. The team led them, and ran all the way to the city gate tower, and reported to the guards that Li Chi wanted to see His Majesty.

It didn't take long for the guards to get out of the way, and the Li Chi brothers and sisters walked into the city gate tower. After entering here, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, went upstairs down the stairs, and came to the second floor, where they finally saw Liu Xiu.

At this time, Liu Xiu was standing in front of the window of the city gate tower, looking at the enemy phalanx outside the city, with an indifferent expression and no nervousness.

He had already experienced too many such scenes, and he really couldn't arouse his nervousness.

"Your Majesty!" Li Chi and Li Chunyue, brother and sister, both went to Liu Xiu Shili.

Liu Xiu turned his head, looked at the two of them, and asked with a smile, "I heard that your brother and sister are here to deliver broth?" ”

Li Chi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the weather is already cold, and the grass people and the housemate feel that they should send some broth over to warm up their bodies with Your Majesty and the soldiers." ”

Choshi on the side frowned, Li Chi and Li Chunyue were just ordinary people, could they let the Son of Heaven eat their food casually?

Before Choshi could speak, Liu Xiu smiled nonchalantly, stretched out his hand and said, "Hold a bowl and let me taste it!" ”

Li Chi's brother and sister looked happy, hurriedly filled a large bowl of broth, and handed it to Liu Xiu. Luo You took it and was about to take a sip to test it first, when Liu Xiu took the soup bowl from her hand and took a sip without care.

When the soup was in the stomach, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised with a smile: "It's really good!" ”

As he spoke, he took another big sip, feeling that his body was warm, comfortable and transparent, he carefully looked at the remaining soup in the bowl, and saw the whiskers of ginseng, he smiled and asked, "There is also old ginseng in this scald?" ”

Li Chi owed Liu Xiu and said, "When the soup was boiled, the grass people added a plant of eight taels of ginseng!" ”

These eight taels of ginseng can be said, as the so-called seven taels for ginseng, eight taels for treasure. Ginseng is eight taels, that is, treasure, when it is really life and death, it can be used to hang your life.

Liu Xiu showed a look of surprise, looked at the soup bowl in his hand, and drank all the soup in it. Then, he returned the soup bowl to Li Chi and said, "Li Chi, this time, I made your brother and sister break the bank!" ”

Li Chi shook his head, and said with a straight face: "There are still a lot of old ginseng in the family, if the city is broken, it is useless to keep these old ginseng!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Li Chi deeply and said, "Li Chi, don't worry, since I said that I would greet your brother and sister, I will definitely be able to protect your brother and sister!" ”

Li Chi hurriedly bowed his hand and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Luo You, Long Yuan and the others, and said, "Distribute these buckets of hot water, so that the soldiers can also warm up." The thieves came out early in the morning to toss, and it is estimated that the soldiers are also hungry! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Luo You, Long Yuan and the others agreed, called the guards, and went downstairs with the barrel.

Seeing Li Chi and Li Chunyue looking nervously outside the city, Liu Xiu smiled indifferently, waved his hand to the two of them, and said, "Since you are here, you don't have to leave in a hurry, you can sit down and rest." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Chi gave a salute again and again. However, Li Chunyue on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Ah-"

With her voice, everyone in the gate tower grabbed their swords and looked at her.

I saw Li Chunyue looking at the stairs with a pale face, and her body trembled. People followed her line of sight, and it turned out that it was black hair who had come up the stairs. Seeing this, the hands holding the swords were put down one after another, and at the same time glared at Li Chunyue dissatisfied. Liu Xiu smiled at her and said, "Miss Li, don't be afraid, this is the leopard I raised, its name is Heimao, it is quite humane, and it will not hurt people at will." ”

As he spoke, he crouched down and touched the top of the black fur that had come closer. Seeing this vicious black leopard so quietly let Liu Xiu caress him, Li Chunyue's eyes were straight, and Li Chi also swallowed his saliva vigorously, admiring Liu Xiu even more, and couldn't help blurting out: "Son of Heaven, all souls surrender."

！ ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "This sounds familiar! ”

Li Chi's old face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the grass people are motivated by feelings!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand, and without further words, he straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and continued to look out of the city.

Bang! Bang! Boom –

The sound of falling rocks became more and more common, and after a while, the sound of smashing all stopped. Liu Xiu said with a deep gaze: "The enemy's attack is about to begin, pass the order, all the soldiers of the army, prepare to fight!" ”

"Whoa!" The herald on the side answered, and ran down the city gate tower with a sneer.

It didn't take long for the Han soldiers who were originally hiding under the city wall to run to the city wall, and the archers, one by one, twisted their bows and arrows, and the crossbowmen installed crossbow arrows in the crossbow machine.

The people crouched behind the stacks of arrows, ready to fight back.

"Positioning Arrow—"

With a shout, an archer stood up at the head of the city, drew his bow to the full, and shot an arrow into the air. The arrow, tied with red silk, drew an arc in the air, snapped, and nailed to the ground outside the city.

The arrows stand on the ground, and the red silk dances in the wind, which is very eye-catching.

This arrow is exactly a hundred steps away from Luoyang City. When the enemy phalanx advanced to this arrow, it was equivalent to the enemy army advancing within a hundred paces of Luoyang, which was within the range of the defenders' archers.

Looking into the distance, the Long army formation and the Shu army formation advanced one left and one right. Soon, the phalanx crossed the positioning arrows. The generals at the head of the city shouted: "Archers, prepare to release arrows!" ”

"One hundred steps! Arrow-" "Arrow-"

In this shouting and shouting, a group of arrows flew out, followed by another group, and the whistling sound of the arrow array piercing the sky rose one after another.

Smack, smack, smack-

The array of arrows that flew down smashed into the phalanx, with a crisp sound, and most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, but some of the arrows still penetrated the gaps in the shield and shot into the crowd.

The advancing soldiers, and the arrows kept falling to the ground.

The phalanx continued to advance against the Han army's arrow array, and at the same time, one after another arrow towers were pushed onto the battlefield.

At the top of the arrow tower, the archers of the Long army and the archers of the Shu army were standing full, twisting their bows and arrows one by one, and the arrows were aimed at the defenders on the head of the city.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu turned his head sideways and said, "Let the stone thrower in the city prepare!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the herald immediately conveyed the general, and the stone throwers arranged in the city were pushed forward one after another, and after they were fixed, they loaded the stones upward.

The enemy phalanx is getting closer and closer, and the arrow tower is getting closer and closer to the city wall, at this time, the archers on the arrow tower are also shooting arrows, and the Han army on the head of the city is either hiding behind the arrow stacks, or raising their shields to block the arrows.

The archers on both sides began to shoot back and forth. Seeing that the arrow tower was only thirty steps away from the city wall, Liu Xiu waved his hand forward and said, "The stone thrower is attacking!" ”

Buzz, buzz, buzz! Pieces of earth stones flew out of the city, crossed the city walls, and smashed outside the city with a roar.

In the crowd where the stones fell into the phalanx, there was a scream, the stones fell on the arrow tower, and there was a loud sound, and the thin and tall arrow tower collapsed with a bang.

As the phalanx advanced to the front of the city wall, the Long and Shu armies set up ladders and climbed to the top of the city, but they were greeted by arrows, rolling logs, stones, and hot oil emitting green smoke.

The city defense of Lüyang is too complete, there are hundreds of stone throwers in the city as an auxiliary to defend the city, and a large number of arrows, rolling wood, stones, fire oil and other city defense weapons are hoarded.

These things have now dealt a heavy blow to the attacker.

In this siege, the Long army and the Shu army did not reserve, and they both used all their strength. It's just that the most terrible thing is that even if they used all their strength, the defense of the city of Luoyang was still impregnable, and the soldiers of the two armies stormed all morning, but they did not climb to the top of the city to kill a single soldier.
