Chapter 85: The Luoyang Rebellion (3)
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, I, Wang Shichong, have always been loyal to the court, and I have never had the slightest complaint, but why do you want to listen to slander and want to harm me? Why? ”
Wang Shichong stepped forward and shouted loudly at Yang Tong and Pei Renji on the city wall: "Your Highness, I believe that you must have been deceived by a traitor to make such a decision, I implore Your Highness to kill Pei Renji, a traitor, as long as Your Highness kills him, I, Wang Shichong, guarantee that not only Your Highness himself will be unharmed, but also the people in the city will not commit any crimes, and the relationship between our monarch and ministers can be reconciled as before, I will treat it as if this never happened, Your Highness, what do you think?" ”
Yang Tong looked a little moved, the safety of the people in the city and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, Wang Shichong's condition was indeed very attractive, but he also saw Wang Shichong's conspiracy, that is, he wanted to kill Pei Renji and destroy the Great Wall, so that he could control the government, and he was just a chess piece in his hand, a puppet!
"General Wang, please don't be obsessed anymore, if it weren't for General Pei to mention something, this king wouldn't know that you actually have such great ambitions, the Great Sui soldiers listened to the order, Wang Shichong intended to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, the soldiers don't listen to Wang Shichong's demagoguery, don't kill each other, listen to the king's orders, withdraw from Luoyang City, and wait for the arrival of the imperial army!"
Pei Renji was very surprised in his heart, since he came to Luoyang City, he has not found that King Yue still has such a decisive side, which makes him feel very pleased, it seems that the emperor's vision is really good, Yang Tong is indeed meritorious, if in time, he can grow up, it is not a good prince who can support a piece of the world.

There was a commotion in the Sui army outside the imperial city, most of them were members of the two armies of Zhichong and Guoyi, and they had been stationed in Luoyang City for a long time, so they had always been very obedient to the orders of the king of Yue, but since Yang Tong handed over the transfer of troops to Wang Shichong, they were already Wang Shichong's army, but if the king of Yue said the truth and intended to rebel, no one would not consider it carefully.
"The Zhichong army listens to my orders and withdraws from Luoyang City!"
The commander of the Zhichong army gave an order to withdraw from Luoyang, Yang Tong did not order them to attack Wang Shichong, this is his cleverness, if he really gave this order, I am afraid that no one will obey his order, and simply let them withdraw from the city, it is equivalent to pulling themselves out of the whirlpool of this battle, which is equivalent to protecting themselves, so they are very willing to do it, whether Wang Shichong is rebelling or not, as long as they can take the imperial city with their own strength, Then it is not impossible for his side to continue to follow him, and if the King of Yue wins, then their side will also be able to continue to serve the imperial court, after all, the order to withdraw from Luoyang was issued by the King of Yue himself.
The Zhichong army was just about to move, Wang Shichong gave a few of his subordinates a look, his brother Wang Shiyun quietly touched it, and cut off the head of the main general of the Zhichong army with a knife, and the Zhichong army was suddenly in chaos, and the soldiers around the main general just wanted to resist, but they were quickly hacked to death by several times the other soldiers raising their knives, Wang Shichong showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, he spent a lot of time controlling the two armies of Zhichong and Guoyi, Yang Tong really thought that his words would have an effect? These two armies are no longer the armies of their Yang family, they are both surnamed Wang!
"Wang Shichong, you are so bold, you dare to kill the court generals, you..."
Yang Tong was angry, pointing at Wang Shichong but couldn't speak, his face was already flushed.
"The army is ready to attack the city, let those cowards in the city know what combat effectiveness is, after the city is broken, the large and small items in the palace, the soldiers will take them at will, and the three thousand beauties are all yours!"
Wang Shichong drew his sword and made an encouraging declaration, isn't fighting for money and women? And these two things, there is everything in this palace, as long as they can take the imperial city, they have what they want!
Sui soldiers you look at me, I look at you, although I don't want to rebel in my heart, but in the face of the huge temptation of interests, they can no longer hold on, and at this time, Wang Shichong personally beat the war drums, the twelve cowhide drums were beaten to the sky, in ancient times, the drum marched, Ming Jin collected the troops, the drum is the easiest to arouse the soldiers' desire to fight and morale of a tool, and at this time, the morale of the Sui soldiers has been thoroughly inspired, in their eyes, there are no princes and nobles, there is no tall city wall, There are only countless beauties and treasures in the imperial city!
"Kill!"
Wang Shiyun shouted, rushed to the imperial city with the soldiers, tens of thousands of Sui soldiers shouted, and rushed up together, countless soldiers against the bows and arrows shot down from the city, dodging the attack of pieces of rubble, carrying the engineering ladder, and quickly leaning towards the city.
Wang Shichong's main attack was assured that the end gate and Yingtian gate were facing Yingtian Street.
The height of the imperial city in Luoyang City is three feet and eight feet, this height is higher than the outer city wall, when Yang Su presided over the construction of this imperial city, the terrain was specially higher, and the bricks and stones of the imperial city are large blocks of masonry, even if you use a heavy trebuchet, with hundreds of pounds of boulders, it is difficult to smash the city wall, so, if you want to take the imperial city, there are only two ways, one is to break through the city wall, use the ladder and the siege ladder to kill into the city, there is no trebuchet on the queen city, Therefore, the tower car with a strong siege ability can also play a huge role, and another way is to break through the city gate, but whether it is the city gate of the end gate or the city gate of Yingtianmen, it is a city gate with a thickness of more than 50,000 catties of pure iron, and it is very difficult for such a city gate to be directly knocked open.
Wang Shichong is the main general of Luoyang City, in charge of Luoyang soldiers and horses, so he is very familiar with the structure of the imperial city, so he gave up the hard attack on the city gate, and chose to gnaw down the difficult city wall, although there are more than 10,000 Yulin troops in the city, but these troops are delicate noble soldiers, have not fought, have not seen the tragedy on the battlefield, as long as he increases the offensive, the hearts of these soldiers will collapse without a fight, and the walls of the imperial city are more than nine miles long, there are four city gates to defend, they do not have so many troops, And he has an army of 100,000 in his hands, which direction is the main attack!
