Linyu Pass, built according to the Chongqing water, the Chongqing water originates from the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain, the water is abundant and turbulent, the Great Sui Kaihuang set up a pass here in three years, to prevent the northeast nomadic tribes, Goguryeo from entering an important pass Xiongguan in the pass.

If Yang Xuangan had rebelled back then, he could quickly move his army north, occupy this pass at the time of Yang Guang's war in Liaodong, and block Yang Guang, the minister of civil and military affairs, and millions of male soldiers outside the pass, then he might really be able to succeed in the rebellion.

This kind of city pass, the typical defense outside is not inside the house, if you look at it from the north of Linyu Pass, the Xiongguan is majestic, by the mountains and rivers, stuck between the peaks, the city wall is high and thick, connects the mountains, and there is a Chongqing water horizontally, it is difficult to overcome.

But from the south of Xiongguan, there is only one protective city wall, it is a Xiongguan mountain city, and the direction of the pass, the city wall and defense facilities are not too precipitous.

At this time, Luo Cheng led 20,000 infantry and 10,000 iron cavalry to attack Linyu Pass.

Rows of crossbow cars, foot crossbows, and repeating crossbows are all ready, all of which are elite long-range weapons, and several arsenals mastered by the Luo family have built crossbow machines over the years, tens of thousands, and even set up a separate crossbow machine battalion.

The crossbowmen of the 5,000-person crossbow machine battalion carry large crossbows and small crossbows on their backs, the large crossbow can reach an effective range of 150 steps, and the small crossbow can shoot up to 50 steps, and can fire continuously in bursts, which is a close-range shooting weapon.

In addition to the crossbow operators who fought alone, there were more powerful car crossbows and foot crossbows that required the cooperation of two or three people, and even needed to be pulled by war horses.

At this moment, the Northern Qi army at the head of the wall was lying there, not daring to show its head, and the rows of crossbow arrows under the city poured like a tide on the city, unless they raised their heads without dying, they were directly shot through.

However, in siege operations, the infantry is the absolute main force, no matter how many crossbow arrows are willing to give, it is impossible to capture the city with this, and in the end it is necessary to rely on the infantry to charge into battle and climb the city wall.

Luo Zhaoyun has been in the military for ten years, accumulating a lot of experience, and knows how to let the soldiers raise their spirits and attack again.

Before the war, there was a mobilization meeting, and those who took the lead in going to the city to kill the enemy, the rewards were doubled, and the soldiers who could play an important role, no matter what their status, would be promoted to two levels, such as ordinary soldiers who made great contributions, directly bypassed the captain, and promoted to the captain, if it was the captain, then it might be directly mentioned as a captain.

As the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men, these people are soldiers under Luo Shuai's account, they are all selected elites, with the passion and courage to be proud of one side, when the horn blows, the war drums beat, the soldiers are enthusiastic, the phalanx moves in an instant, scrambling to charge forward, a posture of making great contributions, it is completely not to put the enemy in the eyes, it is like a tiger and wolf army!

The phalanx is a hundred-man team with two ladders, one offensive and one reserved, alternately used to reduce the time interval and form an offensive unit. The infantry is a regiment every 20 squares, with a deputy general commanding and a number of captains and colonels to form an independent phalanx.

The south-facing wall is only 300 meters, the west-facing wall is 200 meters, and the east wall is even shorter, and it is directly connected to the mountain cliffs, so there are only these two walls that can be used to siege the city.

The dense rain of arrows blocked every battlement of the female wall at the head of the city, and the defenders could not raise their heads at all, but with the beginning of the infantry siege, the long-range crossbow machines finally stopped, fearing that they would accidentally injure their own people, at this time, the defenders at the head of the city began to counterattack, shooting arrows at the bottom of the city, still rolling wood and stones.

Luo Zhaoyun held a long sword in his hand, wore a helmet through armor, stood on an earthen platform a stone's throw away from the city wall, and personally commanded the siege battle.

The big flag fluttered, and dozens of cowhide drums were beaten, shaking the sky and the earth, and the sound of killing.

10,000 troops were thrown up, followed by the defenders in full swing, but although the elite was brave and morale was like a rainbow, after all, they did not occupy an advantageous advantage, so casualties were inevitable, and soon, a lot of corpses had been piled up under the city, and blood flowed into a canal.

Puff puff!

The blade cut off the head and cut off the arm, and blood sprayed and stained the walls red.

The soldiers of the Sui army still climbed up desperately, but they were soon shot by random arrows, hit by stones, fell to a height of more than ten meters, and were directly exhausted, and a few were seriously injured.

Luo Zhaoyun looked at this siege scene indifferently, he had experienced too much, his heart was numb, Ci was not in charge of the army, to lead the three armies, he needed a cold heart, decisive killing, and firm will.

There is a temporary lack of generals under his command, and only some young generals, such as Xue Wanqian and Mai Mengcai, can be driven, so that he can rest assured that they are all brand new teams and generals.

At this time, the generals who led the troops to attack the city were Xue Wancheng and Xue Wanbei brothers, and they stormed the city.

An hour later, the city was not conquered, and Luo Zhaoyun ordered the withdrawal of the first wave of the army, rested, and the second wave of 10,000 troops led by Mai Mengcai to attack.

The battle continued, the fighting was fierce, some teams were leading people to kill the city, but unfortunately, they were soon chopped into meat by the defenders of the city, there were many people, spears were like forests, swords and axes were out, and the ordinary soldiers could not be defeated at all.

"Give them a catapult and try their might!" Luo Zhaoyun instructed the accompanying army craftsmen to assemble heavy weapons.

There are several kinds of trebuchets, simple human trebuchets, torsion trebuchets, etc., some of the clever ones have whirlwind cannons, return guns, and horses have created whirlwind cannons during the Three Kingdoms, which resemble windmills, in fact, it is a centrifugal stone thrower, using centrifugal force to throw stones, and the mana is different, in fact, the effect is almost the same.

Luo Zhaoyun studied machinery during his undergraduate years, so he expected that the ancient siege heavy weapons had discussed with the master craftsmen to create the Yuan Dynasty's return cannon, which was heavier and more powerful.

Twenty whirlwind cannons and return cannons came out with war horses, lined up, and aimed at the head of the city.

After Jin Gong collected his troops, Mai Mengcai led the army to withdraw, suffering 2,000 casualties.

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun gave an order, the heavy artillery attacked, dozens of rocker arms suddenly launched, the stone projectiles rose into the air, broke through the air and roared, slammed over, and then the rumbling sound was endless, the ground shook the city, and there was a gap in the wall, not to mention that the defenders in the city were frightened, even the Sui army also exclaimed its power.
