The soldiers at the head of the city looked at each other, they finally understood, these black greasy oil turned out to be the things that ignited the fire, although the appearance of the city tower of the Tiger Prison Pass was very spectacular, but after decades of ups and downs, the inside had long been rotten, when the fire together, under the help of the fire oil, the raging fire spread rapidly, only a moment of effort, the entire city tower was engulfed in black smoke. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Honglie was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he had already realized that the Sui army must be attacking the city gate, and the city gate was rammed with a huge log, and the city tower was on fire so that the soldiers could not defend above the city gate, and he shouted: "The armies on both sides will gather in Zhongcheng at once!" ”

Since the top of the city gate can not be smashed with boulders, it can only be shot with bows and arrows from both sides, at this time, almost everyone thinks that the Sui army is ready to attack the city gate, but in fact it is not easy to attack the city gate, the city gate is divided into two gates, inside and outside, both of which are made of cast iron, and the large battering ram may not be able to break through the city gate, but in a hurry, Wang Honglie did not think about it so much.

Under his order, more than 2,000 Zheng soldiers defending the north and south directions of the city quickly assembled in Zhongcheng and prepared to defend the city at night.

Just when the city was in chaos, a Sui army team approached Beicheng silently, including four equally huge trebuchets, and the hundreds of soldiers who stayed in Beicheng immediately became nervous, and some soldiers rushed to report to Wang Honglie.

At this time, the drums not far from the city gate were like thunder, the shouting of killing shook the sky, at least tens of thousands of people were ready to attack the city gate, a huge siege ram had appeared two hundred steps away from the city gate, thousands of Sui army bowmen rushed forward, concentrated arrows at the city head, suppressed the Zheng army soldiers at the city head, all kinds of signs indicated that the Sui army was about to launch a large-scale attack on the city gate.

A soldier rushed over and reported to Wang Honglieyu: "Your Highness, four large trebuchets have also appeared outside the city in the north, please make a decision!" ”

Wang Honglie was taken aback, he thought for a while and asked, "Besides the trebuchet, how many soldiers are there?" ”

"Probably a few hundred people."

Wang Honglie's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, there were only a few hundred people, there was no need to worry, he should still focus on the defense at the city gate, he immediately ordered: "Continue to monitor the enemy army, and report to me again if there is intelligence!" ”

The soldiers had no choice but to go back, at this time, the four trebuchets in the north of the city had been positioned, because all the bed crossbows were going to deal with the central Sui army that was about to attack the city, there were no defensive weapons in this area of the north of the city, only more than 500 Zheng soldiers opened their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle.

Two miles behind the trebuchet, a place that the defenders could not see, the 6,000 Sui troops under the leadership of the main general Wei Wentong were in order, and they were patiently waiting for the results of the trebuchet to appear.

Although the Sui army made a great deal of noise at the city gate, the 6,000 troops here were the real siege army.

Wei Wentong was a little nervous, he began to plan this siege a year ago, in order to understand the situation in the city, he did not hesitate to let his subordinates pretend to be merchants, and spent a lot of money to open a tavern in the city, although there was a lot of time, only three months were closed, but in this precious three months, his subordinates have already figured out the structure of the Tiger Prison, and the Tiger Prison he guarded before is exactly the same, nothing has changed.

Then he believed that under the continuous blows of the giant trebuchet, the effect of the city collapse could occur with a maximum of three rounds of heavy blows from the boulder, which was the result of Wei Wentong's repeated experiments, but what would happen to the actual situation, Wei Wentong was not too sure, and he was really a little uneasy in his heart.

At this time, a pro-soldier next to him whispered: "General, it's started!" ”

Wei Wentong nodded slowly, he had seen the trebuchet's throwing rod bounce up, and four large stones flew towards the city wall.

The attack of the Sui army's trebuchets has begun, four big stones are rising in the air, drawing four arcs, accurately hitting the tall and upright city wall, only to hear a series of muffled sounds, the huge impact force actually made the city wall shake for a while, and frightened the soldiers on the head of the city to lie down, this is a situation they have never experienced, the city wall actually shook.

When the first round of boulder impact was over, several brave soldiers went out to look, only to see two large black holes in the city wall, and the soldiers immediately exclaimed, "The city wall has been smashed through!" ”

The soldiers trembled, and a few boulders could smash through the city wall, is this still a tiger prison? What is the difference between it and a private house?

At this moment, the second round of boulder attacks came, and I saw four boulders hovering in the air, whistling and smashing towards the city wall, 'bang-bang-' continuous dull sound, this time not only the shaking was more violent, but the inside of the city wall emitted a series of breaking sounds, the sound was from far and near, and it was extremely terrifying.

Suddenly, some soldiers screamed loudly, and the original city began to crack, and the soldiers lying on the city began to crack, and the soldiers lying on the city got up one after another, and quickly leaned towards the inner female wall, looking at the cracks that were getting bigger and bigger, and soon they were no longer cracks, but a kind of fault, and the top and bottom began to stagger up.

At this time, not only the head of the city was broken, but also a crack of more than 30 zhang long appeared in the middle and lower part of the city wall, the crack was expanding rapidly, and the city wall began to gradually bulge outward, and the soldiers on the city head were terrified and desperately ran to the city, they all realized that the city wall was about to collapse.

Before all the soldiers at the head of the city had run away, a loud noise was heard, 'Boom! The walls collapsed inward, dusty, decades of ash filled the sky, and dozens of soldiers on the city could not escape, and fell with them, buried in endless darkness by the collapsed bricks.

The defenders on the Tiger Prison Pass were stunned, looking to the north together, the dust disappeared slightly, a section of the city wall that was a mile long collapsed, and the city wall of dozens of zhang collapsed on both sides together, there was a huge gap in the Tiger Prison Pass, and no one in the city defenders knew what happened, the city wall collapsed inexplicably, but one thing they knew very well was that the Tiger Prison Pass could not be saved.

Wei Wentong was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that the city wall would collapse after only two rounds of trebuchet attacks, which was completely unexpected by him, he pulled out his war knife and roared, "Attack!" ”

'Woo-'

The muffled sound of trumpets blew suddenly, followed by the earth-shattering rumbling of war drums, which were offensive and trumpets and drums.

"Kill!"

Outside the city, the Sui army roared like thunder, and together they went to cover the collapsed gap.

More than 1,000 Sui troops quickly cleaned up the collapsed city bricks, and a one-zhang wide passage appeared, Wei Wentong took the lead in killing with a big knife in his hand, he mentioned the war horse, the war horse jumped away, jumped over the ruins of two zhang wide, and rushed into the city, and thousands of soldiers followed him and swarmed into the city.

Zheng Jun at the head of the city had already panicked, and they didn't need the order of the main general, they ran to the city one after another, who didn't want to flee for their lives at this time?

'Boom! There was a loud bang on the top of the city, and the burning tower finally collapsed, and the terrifying momentum frightened Wang Honglie so that his legs weakened, and dozens of personal soldiers supported him to run towards the city.

"Your Highness, get on the horse!"

Wang Honglie's legs were weak, and he didn't step on the stirrup twice, and several pro-soldiers were anxious, and directly pushed him onto the war horse, at this moment, Wei Wentong came to kill the horse, and he had stared at Wang Honglie who was riding on the war horse.

Wang Honglie's war horse is Wang Shichong's reward, it was originally the Sui Emperor Yang Guang gave his grandson Yang Dong five Dawan horses, after Wang Shichong got it, rewarded to his own nephew, although Wei Wentong did not know Wang Honglie, but he knew that the enemy general riding on this majestic horse was by no means an ordinary person.

"The enemy will die!"

Wei Wentong shouted, his war horse rushed like a wind, the sound of the knife arrived, a cold light lightning slashed towards Wang Honglie, although Wang Honglie's martial arts are good, but how can he compare with Wei Wentong, the ninth ranked sword in the world, Wei Wentong's knife is famous for being fast.

Without waiting for Wang Honglie to raise the knife to block, Wang Honglie only felt a sharp pain in his neck, he didn't know anything, a big head flew up, blood spurted out, Wei Wentong's war horse jumped over, the tail of the knife was lightly picked, and the head flew out more than ten zhang away, and was picked up by the soldiers who followed behind.

Dozens of Wang Honglie's personal guards were so frightened that they shouted, and ran in all directions, Wei Wentong waved his big knife and coldly ordered: "Kill me!" ”

As tens of thousands of Sui troops rushed into the Tiger Prison Pass, the desperate Zheng soldiers surrendered on their knees, and the complete loss of the Tiger Prison Pass meant that the east gate of Luoyang was open to the Sui army. (To be continued.) )
