Chapter 448 The Battle of Luoyang (11)
East Gate? The main attack is at the east gate? As soon as Li Mi's voice fell, not only Xu Shiji, but even Zhai Rang and the others all looked at Li Mi in surprise! How do you get around, isn't the direction of the main attack on Shan Xiongxin's side?
Feeling everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Mi smiled faintly and said, "I never said that the main attack was at the south gate!" The art of war is false, and the truth is false! Later, General Xu can only go out with an army of 50,000! Wait until the siege is halfway, and then attack the east gate with all the troops and horses! Will be able to break through Luoyang! ”
Hearing Li Mi say this, the generals finally understood, and dared Li Mi to deliberately allocate 100,000 horses to Shan Xiongxin, the purpose was to make the Sui army in Luoyang City think that the main force of attack was in Nancheng! When the main force of the Sui army also moved to the south gate, the east gate attacked with all its might, which naturally caught the Sui army by surprise! There are 500,000 troops in this tile gangzhai! After removing the 200,000 soldiers and horses distributed to the other three routes, there are still more than 300,000 troops on the side of the East City Gate! With so many people, even if they fill it with human lives, they should be able to capture Luoyang!
After Li Mi finished explaining, Zhai Rang couldn't help but get excited, patted his thigh again and again, and shouted, "Okay! Good! Mi Gong is really a clever plan! What a clever plan! There is a secret public to help! Why worry about big things? ”
Listening to Zhai Rang's words, Li Mi always had that indifferent smile, as if he had noticed something, and when he looked back, he just saw a person staring at him tightly, this person was none other than Zhai Rang's brother Zhai Hong! After being discovered by Li Mi, Zhai Hong seemed to be a little embarrassed, but Li Mi nodded very generously, turned his head, and said to Zhai Rang: "Big boss!" It was already noon, and after waiting for two hours, the soldiers and horses of the four routes were in place, and the soldiers were fed, and the war could start! ”
"Good!" Now Zhai Rang is full of confidence, he seems to see the golden dragon chair in the Luoyang Palace beckoning to him! Thinking of the wonders, Zhai Rang couldn't help but be overjoyed, waved his arms, and shouted: "As long as Luoyang City is captured, the whole army will be rewarded!" Mi Gong! If you win the world, you and I will share this country! ”
Hearing Zhai Rang's words, although Li Mi still kept a smile and said that he didn't dare to do so, the moment he lowered his head, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes! Of course, no one saw the change at this moment, and after Li Mi raised his head, his face returned to normal. Immediately, Li Mi didn't say anything more, but continued to command the army to arrange the details. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Two hours passed quickly, and then, as the sword in Li Mi's hand was raised high, the huge war drum behind Li Mi was hammered by two stout men, and for a while, this rhythmic war drum sounded in the sky above the entire Luoyang City! Immediately afterwards, the sound of horns came from the other three directions at the same time, and the shouts of killing came one after another! The real battle of Luoyang has begun!
In the west of the city, the 50,000 righteous army led by Meng Rang, Fang Xianbo, Zhang Qingte and Li Shicai began, under the command of Meng Rang, to attack the city gate in front! Meng Rang's four people have only recently taken refuge in Wagangzhai, once upon a time, they were also one of the overlords, especially Meng Rang, when in Hebei, Shandong, that is also a well-known hero, it can be said that in addition to Zhishilang Wang Bo, it belongs to him Meng Rang's name is the highest!
However, the world makes people, although Meng Rang has a high reputation, but he met a bandit nemesis Zhang Xutuo, and was defeated by Zhang Xutuo again and again, and the team that his subordinates finally pulled up was completely disabled by Zhang Xutuo! Now the entire Hebei and Shandong have been divided equally by the two juniors of Dou Jiande and Gao Kaidao! It's just that these two juniors are domineering, and they don't give Meng Rang a way to live at all, there is no way, Meng Rang can only take his subordinates south, but I didn't expect the situation in Henan to be worse, it is actually the Wagangzhai family! Meng Rang had no choice but to devote himself to Wagangzhai and fulfill Zhai Rang and Li Mi!
As for Fang Xianbo and the others, although they are not as miserable as Meng Rang, their experiences are similar, they are all overlords of one side, they are used to being free and free, and now they have become other people's subordinates, and they are somewhat unaccustomed to it! However, they also know that if they want to restore their former status, there is no way, so didn't Li Mi also fall into despair and defect to Wagangzhai at the beginning! Now it's the same anti-customer-oriented? Why can't he do it himself? And the most important thing is to have your own strength! In this battle, that's very important!
Hearing the signal from the east, Meng Rang and the four of them glanced at each other, and Meng Rang said first: "Three! This fight is very important to me and to all three! So, I hope you can put aside other concerns and fight this battle wholeheartedly! How is it? "Meng Rang was also scared by Li Deqian and Wei Liu'er last time, if he encounters such a fool again, Meng Rang will really cry out for injustice!
Fortunately, Fang Xianbo and the three of them were not as stupid as Li Deqian and Wei Liu'er, and they all understood what the current situation was, so as soon as Meng Rang finished speaking, Fang Xianbo and the three of them all nodded at the same time in agreement. The tallest Fang Xianbo clasped his fists and shouted at Meng Rang: "Meng Gong! You are a rebel senior! Deal with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court a lot! My Fang Xianbo is a brute force! How to fight, I listen to you! ”
Fang Xianbo took the lead, and the other two also expressed the same attitude, although Zhang Qingte was a little thin, but the weight of the big knife in his hand was not light, which showed that Zhang Qingte's ability was not small, as for Li Wencai, although his height was not as high as Fang Xianbo, the muscles on his body were better than Fang Xianbo! Obviously, all three of them are good at charging into battle! Meng Rang looked at these three people, but his heart was full of thoughts, obviously Li Mi's division of troops was not acting indiscriminately! Immediately, Meng Rang nodded and said, "Okay!" Let's start the siege now! First of all, we must fill the moat outside the city! General Lee! I'll leave it to you! I'll give you 10,000 people to carry sacks to fill the river, and you must fill the moat in the shortest possible time! And judging from the situation when Xu Shiji attacked the city just now, the catapults and arrows of the Sui army were very powerful! General Zhang, you lead 3,000 archers to come forward to cover, and you must suppress the archers of the Sui army! As for General Fang, after the moat is filled, he will set up a ladder to attack the city! That's up to you! As soon as the moat is filled, you must rush forward with the rest of your soldiers! ”
There is nothing magical about Meng Rang's command, but it is clear at a glance, and it is precisely by relying on the soldiers and horses of the righteous army that far surpass the Sui army, and the tricks that can be broken by force, and this tactic is the most suitable for now! For Meng Rang's command, Fang Xianbo and the three of them had no opinion, and immediately, the 50,000 army began to act according to Meng Rang's command!
Li Wencai commanded the 10,000 horses assigned to him, carrying the sack and launching an attack forward! And just like the previous situation of Xu Shiji's siege of the city, dozens of boulders were quickly thrown from the head of the city and fell towards the outside of the city! A scream rang out, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded under these boulders! And Li Wencai, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, also twitched the corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Leave it alone!" Rush! When we get under the walls, the stones won't hurt us! Rush! Rush! ”
Although Li Wencai is stout, his mind is very cautious, and he immediately saw the weakness of the catapult, that is, it can only attack enemies at a distance, and when it comes to close range, it can't exert any power! Listening to Li Wencai's words, although the soldiers were terrified of the boulders falling from the sky, they were not overwhelmed! Bite the bullet and carry the sack is to rush forward! Soon, the rebel soldiers who rushed to the front rushed through the range of the catapult and began to rush forward desperately. And at this time, a lot of archers appeared at the head of the city, shooting at the soldiers under the city wall! Yes, catapults can't attack enemies in close proximity, but there's more to the castle than just catapults!
"! Archer! General Zhang! "Seeing that as soon as the archers came out, a round of arrows fell, and seven or eight hundred soldiers were shot and killed. Although he felt that something was not right, he didn't think much about it, but shouted directly at the top of his voice: "General Zhang! What about your archers? ”
"It's coming! Archer! Attack! Before Li Wencai's words fell, Zhang Qingte's voice rang out, and with Zhang Qingte's order, the archers who were mixed in the middle of the soldiers carrying sacks came out one after another, quickly bent their bows and arrows, and shot arrows towards the city! As those arrows flew up to the city, hundreds of screams suddenly sounded from the city, and many corpses fell directly from the city and fell under the city walls and moats, and the Sui army finally suffered casualties!
With the suppression of these archers, the archers of the Sui army at the head of the city finally could not shoot arrows unscrupulously, and taking advantage of this opportunity, those soldiers carrying sacks finally rushed to the moat, risking the arrows shot from the city head, throwing the sacks on their bodies into the moat!
This moat leads directly to Luoshui, so it is a living water river, and the flow of the river is also very turbulent. But these sacks were filled with heavy dirt and stones, and after being thrown into the moat, they splashed and sank directly to the bottom of the river! And many soldiers finally rushed to the front of the moat, but they were shot by the arrows falling from the city, gritted their teeth, fought with the last bit of strength, and jumped into the moat with sacks! As for the soldiers who were fine, after throwing the sacks, they also turned around immediately, God knows how deep this moat is, they have to go back and continue to carry the sacks to fill the river!
