Chapter 738: Bombardment of Luoyang (2)

Tian Chengsi, the pseudo-Yan general, hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the power of Kong Sheng's mysterious siege weapon is really irresistible to manpower, in order to avoid any eventuality, the lord still temporarily retreats from the city tower, and this matter of defending the city is still handed over to the end of the world!" ”

Tian Chengsi's words reminded many people that they hated to flee the city tower quickly, lest they be reduced to pieces of flesh and blood in the new round of artillery bombardment.

These magnates of the puppet Yan Dynasty immediately persuaded Shi Chaoyi to flee, and some even proposed to open the city gate immediately, lead the army to flee to Hedong, and abandon Luoyang!

Shi Chaoyi's face was ugly, and he roared angrily: "Retreat? Where did you let me retreat? Where can I escape from the catastrophe with that mysterious weapon? Flee from the city? Do you think that Kong Sheng's 50,000 troops are eyeing the city outside, and he can let us abandon the city and flee? There may be a city defense in the city, and once we are outside the city, won't my 100,000-strong army become caged cattle and sheep to be slaughtered? ”

A trace of complicated brilliance flashed in Tian Chengsi's eyes.

At this point...... He is a person who makes a decision on the spot, if Kong Sheng masters this mysterious weapon, it won't take long for Luoyang City to be in ruins, and the 100,000 Fan Yang military horses trapped in the city will also die without a place to be buried!

Tian Chenghe's expression was gloomy and he looked at the angry Shi Chaoyi.

Outside the city.

Kong Sheng did not rush to order a second round of shelling. One is that the artillery needs to be cooled down before it can continue to fire, and the other is that he wants to make the impact and deterrence of the artillery siege produce the greatest penetration in the Fan Yang army in Luoyang City.

In Kong Sheng's plan, he would launch three to five rounds of artillery bombardment of Luoyang, concentrating artillery fire on the Changqing Gate and the city wall. He knew that this would at least make Shi Chaoyi and others in the city infighting, and make Fan Yang's army lose the courage to fight, and no accident or the most ideal outcome was that Shi Chaoyi led the army to flee from the De'anmen behind him in embarrassment, giving up Luoyang, Kong Sheng did not score to pursue Shi Chaoyi, and Shi Chaoyi's 100,000 Fan Yang iron cavalry fought to the death, what he wanted was to recover Luoyang City without blood.

Kong Sheng looked up at the sky, saw that dusk was approaching, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Pass the order and continue to bombard Luoyang!" ”

Luo Yong personally commanded the artillerymen to reload and calibrate and ignite the fuse, and more than a dozen fire dragons were shot out of the muzzle of the black hole Dong Sensen, rising into the sky and flying towards the Changqing Gate of Luoyang City.

Boom Boom!

The sound of explosions was heard continuously, and the earth was faintly shaking. The Fan Yang army in the city was not guarded, and it was impossible to care about any military orders, so they fled down the city tower with their heads in their arms. Shi Chaoyi's face was also pale, and when the sound of artillery gradually stopped, he went down the city tower in embarrassment under the protection of his own guards.

The Changqing Gate and the city walls on the left and right collapsed in a large area, and most of the city towers in this section were flattened by a new round of artillery explosions, and the shrenchnel of the shells flew everywhere, and many of the Fan Yang army group were wounded and fell to the ground by crying wolves.

After the second round of artillery fire, Kong Sheng suddenly ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. This made many people feel surprised, just to capture Luoyang City while the iron was hot, why did he stop shelling Luoyang halfway?

No one knew that Kong Sheng's hoarding of shells was actually small and prohibitively expensive. Every time a shot was fired, it was equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars being consumed, and when Kong Sheng found that these two rounds of bombardment had achieved his expected goal of deterring Fan Yangjun, he naturally stopped using them.

Although Kong Sheng collected his troops and returned to the camp, Luoyang City was in chaos.

The thoughts of all Fan Yang's soldiers fleeing from Luoyang are getting heavier and heavier, and the military spirit is not floating but chaotic. And Shi Chaoyi was besieged in the palace by his military ministers, and many people even exceeded the rules, asking Shi Chaoyi to immediately lead the army to flee Hedong and abandon Luoyang.

Shi Chaoyi's face was ugly.

He sat on the throne of the emperor who had just sat down, and more than 100 puppet Yan ministers and generals under Danqi did not have any order and etiquette, and they were persuading him to give up Luoyang.

In fact, Shi Chaoyi himself also wanted to escape from Luoyang. But he was unwilling to fail, and besides, hundreds of people including his family and concubines were all in Luoyang, how could he give up these people and flee alone?

Moreover, he was even more worried that once he abandoned Luoyang and fled out of the city, if Kong Sheng used this mysterious weapon to chase him down, his 100,000 military horses would probably suffer heavy casualties.

Tian Chengsi saw through Shi Chaoyi's thoughts, stepped forward and said loudly: "King, the matter is urgent, and Luoyang is obviously difficult to hold." The last general suggested that the king leave Luoyang overnight, lead an army of 50,000 to Xiangzhou in the north, join the soldiers and horses in the east of our river, and then attack Henan. ”

"As for the last general, he is willing to lead 50,000 troops to defend Luoyang and win time for the king to evacuate Luoyang. Please rest assured, the last general will be crushed to pieces, and he will defend Luoyang to the death, and swear to live and die with my Dayan Kingdom! Tian Chengsi said impassionedly and righteously.

Shi Chaoyi stared at Tian Chengsi deeply, in fact, he was not moved at all, but he had to pretend to be very moved, and hesitated to agree to lead a group of people to flee Luoyang overnight, and hand over his family and concubines to Tian Chenghe.

He could see that if he didn't agree to flee Luoyang, his subordinates would definitely mutiny, and he knew better than anyone how fragile his hastily established Fanyang regime was, and his subordinates had no sense of loyalty and belonging.

……

Tens of thousands of people fled Luoyang, by the De'an Gate on the back side of Luoyang. Although Shi Chaoyi and these people have tried their best to silence themselves, how can tens of thousands of actions keep secrets, and the chickens and dogs jumping and people shouting and neighing in the middle of the night can't hide it.

But there was no movement in Kong Sheng's camp, and the pursuit of Kong Sheng expected by Shi Chaoyi and others did not appear, which made him a little suspicious. But at this point, he had no way to retreat, so he had to be wrapped up by the generals and soldiers and retreat to Mozhou.

On top of the ruined city tower in Luoyang, Tian Chengsi led his subordinates to stand on top of the city tower, looking at the calm Kong Sheng camp in the night, and his brows were furrowed.

His son Tian Hua said softly: "Father, Kong Sheng didn't send troops to chase and kill, it's strange......"

Tian Chengsi was silent.

Tian Hua said again: "Father, do you really want to surrender to the Li Tang court?" ”

"Wu'er, this Kong Sheng's ability is rare in ancient and modern times, and now he has such an artifact, infinitely powerful, shaking the heavens and the earth, how can our army's flesh and blood resist? This Luoyang can't be defended, and the two-way army of Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi is marching into Luoyang, and once Shi Chaoyi loses Henan, he will return to Hedong and will not be able to hold on for long. ”

"Sooner or later, the historian will be defeated, and the general trend has gone. You and my father and son might as well take advantage of the situation and return to the Li Tang court, and they can also exchange for the title of high-ranking official and protect the soldiers and horses of the department. Wu'er, do you dare to go out of the city to meet that Kong Sheng? Tian Chengsi said in a deep voice.
