Luoyang City has thick walls and huge walls, and if the defensive forces are enough, it is difficult for more than 100,000 people to attack.

This time, the Wei army sent 50,000 troops to take Luoyang, and the troops besieging the city were insufficient, but fortunately, there were not many Qing troops in the city, only more than 7,000 people.

Now, the Wei army has been under Luoyang City for half a month, and several tentative attacks have been repelled by the defenders.

In war, the first army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.

At this time, Luoyang was already an isolated city, and the Wei army occupied northern Henan, which was completely able to consume it, and wait for the city to run out of food and surrender.

It's just that Nan Ming's actions made Gao Yihuan a little uneasy after all, so he ordered Jin Shenghuan to go to Luoyang quickly.

On November 28, the 50,000 Ming troops, in addition to the large army guarding the camp, began to march out of the camp after a full meal.

In this battle, you don't need to play what you need, you can seize the city with real swords and guns, and you will seize the city with your life for your life.

Early in the morning, under the city of Luoyang, the cavalry of the Wei army roared back and forth to occupy the battlefield, the people in each camp shouted horses and neighed, the sound of trumpets and drums was endless, and a large number of soldiers pushed siege equipment to the outside of the camp, and set up a formation.

The Qing soldiers on the city wall were waiting for them, they shouted loudly, commanded some people to carry earth, stone and wood, and the Hongyi cannons on the city wall roared and attacked the Wei army's artillery array.

Inside the city, groups of stone-throwing machines were distributed behind the wall, ready to bombard the Wei army close to the city.

Outside the city, the Wei army, considering the lack of Qing troops, divided into several units and attacked a city gate each.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan rode around the formations to boost morale, and then returned to the Chinese army.

Today's siege, the Wei army mainly attacked, east, south, and west of the city, leaving the north unattacked, in order to defend the city and abandon the city, and then the cavalry assembled in the Chinese army pursued and killed the fleeing Qing army.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan returned to the Chinese army, behind him was the horse army drawn from various battalions, and in front of him was the Jianrui battalion attacking the West Gate.

"Let's get started!" Jin Shenghuan waved his hand and ordered.

A horn sounded in the army, monitoring the city gate to prevent the cavalry in the city from raiding the Wei army and the Wei army rangers in the mortar artillery array, and retreated one after another.

At this time, in the Wei army's artillery array, a Hongyi cannon suddenly retreated, and a black cannonball flashed in the air, smashing on the city wall, and ice slag splashed everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, two miles in front of the Hongyi artillery array, there was the same roar in the Wei army's mortar artillery array, raising a cloud of gunsmoke, and then I saw a flowering bomb, drawing a parabola in the air, and falling on the city, and the city suddenly "boomed" with a loud bang, and the red light burst out, raising a cloud of black smoke.

The Wei artillery began to be set up on a trial basis, and the Qing army in the city was thrown away by the air waves, and the loud screams of the Qing army came from the city, as well as the miserable howls of the wounded soldiers.

At this time, the soldiers of the Jianrui battalion, who was responsible for attacking the West Gate, were originally mobilizing before the war, and the general Dang Shousu was assigning tasks to his subordinate officers.

"Don't look at it, listen to Ben's greeting!" Dang Shousu said loudly.

When the military academies of various bureaus and divisions heard the sound, they had to reluctantly turn their heads, and the Wei army bombarded the city, but it was not a common thing.

This cannon smashed past and exploded at the head of the city, and the officers and men of the Wei army were extremely excited, and they felt particularly uplifted, which was better than any pre-war mobilization.

Dang Shousu continued: "According to the previous temptation, the Tartars arranged a stone throwing machine in the urn city, and the urn city is a bulge, and if you attack the two sides and the city walls on both sides of the urn city, you will be attacked by the stone throwers, bows and arrows, fire guns, and cannons inside the city and the urn city. Therefore, when attacking, the three divisions of A, B and C mainly attacked from the front of the urn city, and after attacking the urn city, the first division destroyed the stone throwing machine in the urn city, and the two divisions B and C broke through the urn city to the city gate and opened the city gate. The rest of the divisions attacked the city wall and pinned down the Tartars~"

The battalions of the Wei army were mobilizing and assigning tasks, but the artillery of the Wei army did not stop.

The Hongyi artillery array and the mortar artillery array, after the test firing reception, began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment on Luoyang.

For a time, the smoke of the two artillery arrays was filled, and a deafening sound of artillery broke out on the position, and the thick white smoke covered the long line.

The flowering shells fired by the mortar artillery array were thrown into the city, and thick smoke rose from the city walls and city pools, and the scene was spectacular, and even the Wei soldiers themselves were shocked.

The roar of the artillery array filled Luoyang City with gunsmoke, and the Wei soldiers under the city felt that the city was shaken, and their hearts were beating wildly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

With such a bombardment, when the city is attacked later, I am afraid that there will be no one in the city.

At this time, the Wei army's artillery array flickered, and the sound of bricks and stones collapsing from the head of Luoyang City continued to be heard, as well as the screams and exclamations of the soldiers at the head of the city.

The Wei artillery fired three rounds in a row, and the artillery array outside the west city alone poured 150 solid shells and 30 flowering shells into the city.

At this time, the head of Luoyang City was already a mess, the smoke and dust were billowing on the city, the vision was not clear, there were screams for help everywhere, and the Qing army with a nervous breakdown squatted behind the wall battlements, covered their ears, and let out a desperate roar from their mouths.

The Qing soldiers hiding behind the city wall, their bodies against the wall, their hands holding their weapons, their expressions nervous, and they didn't dare to move.

Hearing the sound of artillery outside the city, Hezhen immediately ordered, "Ma Ning, go up and have a look!" ”

A group of Han soldiers with white flags hurriedly rushed into the smoke-filled city walls, and then dragged the wounded soldiers down the city.

Half an hour later, the Wei artillery array roared again, and the cannon flames on the two artillery arrays flickered, and the fire was concentrated to bombard the urn city.

The solid bullets fired by the Hongyi cannon smashed on the city wall, and the entire city shook violently, and the splashed ice slag and gravel fell from the air, clanging on the running soldiers, making people feel extremely terrifying.

At the head of the city, the gunners of the Qing army, controlled the artillery to shoot, a flowering bullet fell on the enemy platform, the red light burst out, the Qing gunners were swept off the city by the air wave, and the two Qing soldiers carrying the wounded were also blown away by the explosion, their bodies hit the wall battlements, their heads were crooked, and they bled to death by the seven holes of the shock.

At the same time of the shelling, outside the city gates, the drums of the Wei army were beating in the camps, outside the west gate, 1,000 Wei army musketeers, pushing the shield cart forward, 2,000 Wei army foot soldiers, hugging the siege tower, carrying the ladder to follow, began to attack the west city.

At this time, the Wei soldiers came from all over the field, and when he learned that the Wei army's infantry army had begun to attack the city, he immediately ordered, "Bombardment by stone throwers!" ”

Behind the city wall, the Qing soldiers urged the people, pulled down the throwing rod, ignited the lead of the earth-shaking thunder, and then saw the throwing rod bounce up, and one by one the earth-shaking thunder was thrown.

Boom Boom! The explosion sounded above and around the heads of the Wei soldiers, and the bodies of the advancing Wei soldiers were immediately thrown away by the explosion.

Seeing this, Dang Shousu immediately drew his knife and pointed angrily, "Kill!" Rush over! ”

The trebuchet is placed behind the city wall, which can dodge the shelling of the Wei army, but there is also a disadvantage, because it is a projectile, so he can only bombard a certain distance, once the Wei army approaches the city wall, it will enter the dead end of the stone thrower's attack, and there is no need to worry about being bombarded by it.

Seeing black objects rising in the city, the Wei army in the wilderness suddenly roared loudly and began to run wildly, rushing towards the city.

At the same time, he roared angrily, "Go to the city to meet the enemy!" ”

The Qing soldiers on the back of the city wall suddenly crowded the ~~~~~~ from the steps of the city to the city
