Chapter 143: Luoyang City Defense

The person with a sad face is the killer in the shadow door, named Death, and is the top forty masters in the door, a few days ago he got the secret note in the door, anyone who kills the monk named Dharma in Songshan can get 10,000 taels of silver, so the reward makes him feel happy, only to find out when he arrives in Songshan, the three great monks are all masters of the Gangqi realm, not to mention 10,000 taels, even 100,000 taels, he doesn't dare to have any ideas, this kind of master can only succeed unless the top three killer kings personally shoot, with him, Far from it.

But he accidentally ran into Liu Yuetian, this reward was released more than a month ago, and the reward was 1,000 taels of silver, which is a lot, but the other party is the king of Tianshui County after all, how can a prince only be worth so much money? At least 5,000 taels! Such as the death of such a master is more than two thousand taels of each task, plus the Tianshui road is really far away, this way of eating and sleeping in the open will suffer a lot, so the death did not take this task, and now it is actually encountered in Henan County, in his opinion, this thousand taels of silver is given to him for nothing, of course he can't miss it.

"However, this Liu Yuetian is not an ordinary person, his palm is a bit interesting!"

Liu Yuetian fought against the master of the Five Poison Sect on Songshan Mountain, and the scene of killing was clearly seen from the side.

Liu Yuetian's last palm can indeed be played by a master of the Gangqi realm, but it can't be said that Liu Yuetian is at the same level as Patriarch Bodhidharma.

Masters such as Bodhidharma and Jueyuan have all reached the realm of Gangqi consummation, as long as their skills run all over their bodies, there are no leaks, even swords cannot be added, but Liu Yuetian is obviously far from this realm, otherwise he would not have fought more than 30 moves with the master of the Five Poison Sect and could not distinguish between high and low, even the last palm was just a retreat from the opponent, and the lethality was not high.

"Killing" as the killer of the noun in the middle row of the Shadow Gate, his kung fu is naturally not low, and his vision is also very vicious, he guesses that maybe this county king has practiced some kind of powerful kung fu, but kung fu has not yet been practiced at home, which is easy to speculate, after all, the other party is just an adult teenager, even if he practices in his mother's womb, it is not as good as the skill of "killing people" for more than 30 years.

Before the "life" came up with Songshan, he did it, but unfortunately the opponent's war horse was too fast, and he ran away without a trace in a flash of smoke, but fortunately he stopped in Luoyang, otherwise the thousand taels of silver would be in the soup again.

"This Liu Yuetian is worthy of being a prince, even the war horses are unusual, killing him is not only a thousand taels of silver, those war horses are more valuable, I am afraid that they will add up to more than 10,000 taels of silver, in short......... I'm making a lot of money in this business. ”

"Death" has already regarded Liu Yuetian as a bag.

"You send someone to follow him, don't do anything in the city, as soon as he leaves the city, I will deal with Liu Yuetian, you deal with others, remember, their war horses are worth more than people, don't get hurt."

"Yes, I'll do it!"

The man turned and walked away.

Early the next morning, Liu Yuetian, accompanied by Zu Ti and Xu Da, climbed to the head of Luoyang City, standing on the tower more than six zhang high and looking into the distance.

"Your Highness, look there!"

Zu Ti pointed ahead, and a big river vaguely appeared in the morning curtain, it was the Luo River, and the fifty miles on the other side of the Luo River was the power of Great Wei.

On the banks of the Luo River, thousands of soldiers were practicing under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the shouts added a sense of killing to the quiet morning.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Chang'an, which is the largest city, and Luoyang City is the second largest city in the 700 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, the Western Regions and Tibet were still wild places, and there was a possibility of threatening the Central Plains at any time, and Luoyang was located in the Central Plains, protected by all parties, once something happened, the princes could rush to the aid in the shortest possible time, but King Wu of Zhou was eloquent and strategic, and he built the capital in Chang'an, just to make the future King of Zhou vigilant at any time, in fact, it was also the case, and later the King of Tibet made a rebellion to attack Chang'an, if it were not for the King of Zhou sitting there, I am afraid that Chang'an City would have become the territory of Tibet.

Although Luoyang has not become the national capital, but the Great Zhou attaches no importance to Luoyang, each generation of Zhou kings is to send the most powerful military to defend here, and in the construction of money to money to soldiers to soldiers, hundreds of years the city has been expanding, to now this big city is no less than Chang'an in scale.

Nearly 100 miles long tall city wall stands on the plain, millions of residents live outside the city, this year's Chang'an Sili drought, but Henan County is nothing, many displaced people have run to Luoyang to live, Zu Taishou has repeatedly opened the warehouse to put grain to build a porridge shed to relieve those displaced people, although this move won the hearts of the people, but undoubtedly increased the burden of Luoyang, plus Zu Ti has refused to increase agricultural taxes, and military salaries can not be in arrears, so Zu Taishou lived a very poor life, and there was little meat in the daily meals.

"This Luohe River is also the only natural danger in Luoyang, if there is no Luohe, the soldiers of Great Wei will be able to attack the city within a day."

Liu Yuetian said softly.

"Yes! The Great Wei soldiers are strong and strong, and the generals under them are like clouds, we only have more than 100,000 soldiers, but the other side has a million troops, and the distance between the two sides is too short, there is no tactical space for a surprise attack, it can only be a hard-fought battle, if you talk about the real combat power, even the two Luoyang cities can not beat the Great Wei, not to mention that there is a Tang snooping in the upper reaches of the Luohe River......... From a tactical point of view, Luoyang City has been surrounded on three sides, if there is a battle, one is to resist hard, and the other is to retreat to Chang'an, but if it retreats, then Chang'an will have no danger to defend on this side, so the pressure on our defense is really huge. ”

Cao Cao of the Great Wei and Li Yuan of the Great Tang Dynasty now have a good relationship with Zu Li on the surface, but this is only a personal relationship, and they are simply like dust in front of power, as long as the war starts, it will be blown away in an instant.

"That's right, no matter how big Luoyang City is, it covers an area of only 100 miles, the other party belongs to thousands of miles, and the strategic depth is far stronger than Henan County, and there is Huan Wen's Anding County in the northwest of Henan County, but Huan Wen is not reliable at all, and it may even be on the hostile side at the beginning of the war, the west of Henan County is Hongnong County, which is the territory of the prince Liu Rong, but Liu Rong is also making his own calculations, plus the number of troops is only tens of thousands, so it can't play a big role."

Liu Yuetian is well aware of the current situation in Henan County.

"Your Highness is wise, it is true!"

Zu Ti Taishou nodded yes.

"By the way, how much pig iron do we have in Henan County?"

Liu Yuetian asked suddenly.
