Chapter 155: Human Purgatory Shura Field

"Oh? According to you, how can this king save himself? ”

Li Ruxian took a step forward and wanted to get closer to speak, but he had barely taken two steps before six cold blades landed on his neck. scared him so much that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and he collapsed on the ground.

Zhu Yousong got up and laughed loudly, and said: "Even if Yang He wants to persuade this king to surrender, can't he find a decent one, is this king so unbearable in his eyes?" ”

He picked up a pen and wrote a letter on paper, asked the guards to stuff it into Li Ruxian's hand, and said, "Get out, remember to give this letter to Yang He when you go back." ”

Li Ruxian, who was neatly dressed, was thrown down the city with an embarrassed face, but fortunately, he was also tied with a hemp rope so that he would not break his arms and legs. Ignoring the pain, he limped back to his base camp.

Yang He had already ordered his troops and horses, and did not have the slightest hope for him, just waiting for him to come back, and gave up the unrealistic thoughts of the prison army, so he attacked the city on a large scale.

The soldiers beside him handed the envelope held high by Li Ruxian to him and unfolded it:

Such inferior goods are not lobbyists, and Governor Yang should come to Luoyang in person, or he may be able to persuade this king to repent.

Yang He snorted coldly, tore up the letter in his hand and threw it on the ground. Hua Qiu had already learned the result from Li Ruxian, and she was full of shame, embarrassed to come out to meet people, and hid in her own tent.

Yang He waved his hand, and the pro-soldiers next to him waved the handsome flag, and the army began to move in an instant.

The change of dynasty has developed to the Ming Dynasty, and the siege equipment has been varied, and it can be said that the variety is staggering.

Zhu Yousong climbed the lookout, and in the gap of the watchtower, he was really startled to see all kinds of giant siege vehicles under the city, and the officers and soldiers under the black pressure.

The commander of this battle to defend the city was Zhao Hong on the upper floor of Xicheng, and he himself only played a role in inspiring the morale of the army.

The place where Zhao Hong became famous back then was Liaodong. It was in the battles of defending the city again and again to resist the construction of slaves that he grew up. The siege equipment and means under the city are naturally much better than those of Jiannu, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is much inferior.

Looking at the loose formation of the Ming army under the city, Zhao Hong sneered, knowing that they were afraid of their own red-coated cannons. But Zhao Hong himself knew that although the little prince had taken a lot of cannons, he did not have his own arsenal, and the cannonballs were one less shot.

He stood on the tower of the city and did not move until the monster-like wooden ox carts and carts under the city escorted the soldiers to the city.

These huge siege vehicles were rectangular or ridge-shaped wooden houses built on rectangular seats, covered in cowhide, and equipped with four wheels underneath, in the form of movable bunkers.

The sturdy soldiers pushed it under the city of Luoyang, and many vehicles were connected to form a ground passage, covering the soldiers to approach the city wall and begin to attack the city.

In addition, there are thick bamboo canopies, half-cut boats, wooden stands, bamboo stands, wooden curtains, leather curtains, etc., which are light and dexterous, and can cover four or five soldiers or individual soldiers to approach the city wall and carry out siege operations.

Luoyang City Tou simply used a stone thrower to smash out a few large stones to symbolically resist.

Yang He in the distance was secretly on guard, with a hint of foreboding in his heart, if Xiaofu Wang was resisting before dying, then why did he keep the cannon and not hit a single shell, did he still have a backhand?

Finally, the Ming army crossed the moat, as well as the trench dug by the defenders of Luoyang, and came to the city.

Zhao Hong waved his hand slightly, and a fire-fighting iron box suddenly appeared on the city tower, and the iron fire bed hidden in the city wall poured the molten iron into the fire-fighting iron box, and threw it onto the giant wooden ox cart and cart near the city. The high temperature of molten iron not only made the Ming army lose its ability to attack, but also caused the fireproof raw cowhide and other materials on these terrifying siege equipment to burn.

The Ming troops fled from under the cars one after another, most of them on fire. Even the Luoyang soldiers in the city asked about the smell of burning in the air, and some people vomited.

Zhao Hong's face changed slightly, after all, some of these people are new soldiers and have not been baptized by war. He raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "Throw stones!" ”

The heralds immediately ran on top of the city tower, and the defenders of Luoyang lifted the sassal wood and boulders under their feet and threw them down the city. The city has become a purgatory on earth, with severed limbs and stumps, and the sound of wails and cries is endless.

Zhao Hong glanced around and found that many of his soldiers had unbearable expressions on their faces, and he shouted loudly: "Let them attack the city, and we are the ones who cry and suffer!" Luoyang is our home, our family is in the city at the moment, their life and death depend on you! ”

His voice really had a bit of an effect, and the Luoyang soldiers continued to lift the sassage wood and smashed it towards the Ming army that was constantly pressing over.

Yang He stood on the high ground in the distance, secretly frightened, he turned back to the deputy general and said: "I didn't expect Luoyang to have prepared the tools and equipment to defend the city, these things are difficult to complete in a hurry, it seems that Your Majesty's vision is still accurate, and King Xiaofu has long been opposed!" ”

"Commander, our people rushing over like this is tantamount to sending them to death." It was Liu Tinghe of Huaiqing Mansion who spoke, and he and Xiaofu Wang still had a friendship with him to recover Kaifeng. But now Yang He is the governor of the three provinces, and he is desperate in front. They are all soldiers from Henan, Liu Tinghe fell down like watching the soldiers cut wheat, he was so anxious that he couldn't help shouting.

Yang He's face sank, and he reprimanded sharply: "Ci is not in charge of the army, how can there be immortals in the war, Luoyang is not a big city after all, I don't believe how much molten wood and iron can be used in the city." ”

The faces of the generals present showed anger, and the scholars became ruthless, and there was something about the martial arts. He is going to exchange his life for Luoyang's fortification materials, and he is ready to consume King Fu.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and the Ming army in the back saw the same scene as the Shura field in front, and they were already frightened.

These big-headed soldiers had no salary to pay, and most of their military land was occupied by wealthy nobles. As for the pitiful salary of the marching army, it was not enough to exploit the layers of exploitation, and when I came to Luoyang hungry, I really expected to knock on the city gate immediately and fill my stomach.

Everyone knows that there is a Fuwang who is the richest man in the world in Luoyang, but he didn't think that this Fuwangfu was not a soft persimmon, but they became the target of others' slaughter.

These big-headed soldiers hesitated and refused to advance, and were whipped by the commander, and did not dare to go to the city again.

Yang He was furious when he saw that there was a fault in the soldiers and horses, and asked: "The rear army is stagnant and the fighters are delayed, where is the supervising army?" ”

In the middle of the Chinese army, a group of soldiers and horses wearing armor and carrying large swords walked out under the leadership of a malevolent general.

"If you hesitate and don't respect the generals, you will be beheaded on the spot and killed!"

"Yes!"
