Taking a step back, even if Lu Kang had a way to hold back the Han army in Xingyang and Luonan, did he really think that he could take Luoyang City, which was guarded by 70,000 people, in ten days? Did he really think that the 70,000 troops of the Han army were made of paper?

In fact, in the battle of Tiger Pass, Huang Chong led the five armies of the Han army to create a lot of trouble for the Wu army, and the Wu army spent a lot of effort to take the Tiger Pass, and if it wasn't for the Han army deliberately releasing water, Lu Kang would probably still be blocked out of the Tiger Pass. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Yin's original intention was to attack Xingyang and cut off the grain route of the Wu army, Lu Kang would retreat with interest, but he didn't expect that Lu Kang would not retreat and advance, and he would fight desperately to fight to the death, which was beyond Liu Yin's expectations, but the soldiers would block, and the water would cover up, Liu Yin did not mess up because of Lu Kang's abnormal behavior.

In view of the ferocity of the Wu army, Liu Yin ordered the Han army to abandon the outer defense, and all of them retreated to the city of Luoyang, relying on the city walls of Luoyang to carry out defensive operations.

Liu Yin clearly ordered that all acts of going to war were forbidden, such as the phenomenon of Zhang Le taking the initiative to attack during the Battle of Tiger Pass, all prohibited, and all generals, no matter who they were, who acted without authorization, would be engaged in military law and would not be forgiven.

When the enemy is strong and I am weak, the rash attack like Zhang Le is a great risk, once caught in the enemy's encirclement, the consequences are unimaginable, the time of the Tiger Pass, if it is not for Zhao Zhuo's timely response, Zhang Le is likely to fold in the chaos. After returning to Luoyang, Liu Yin reprimanded Zhang Le fiercely, when Shu Han was in danger, he really needed the courage of a desperate San Lang for the general, and put him to death and survive, but now the situation is different, Ji Han is in charge of the world, and he has an advantage militarily, so there is no need to work too hard to fight, in case there is any mistake, it is too late to regret it.

Zhang Le didn't dare to be stubborn this time, honestly listened to Liu Yin's reprimand, humbly accepted it, and promised to obey the command in all actions in the future, and never dare to act without permission.

Even the biggest thorn Zhang Le relented this time, and none of the other generals dared to disobey the military order, so Liu Yin's order, all armies and departments acted strictly according to the order, and no one dared to fight without authorization.

When Sun Xin and Sun Kai attacked Luoyang City, they traveled unhindered along the way, Sun Xin was very proud, and said to Sun Kai: "It is said that Liu Yin is like a god with soldiers, and the Shu army is very powerful. ”

Sun Kai was more cautious than Sun Xin, and said: "Brother Xin, Liu Yin is famous all over the world, and even Sima Jin has been destroyed, we can't be careless." ”

Sun Xin said proudly: "Destroying Sima Jin is just Liu Yin's temporary luck, if it weren't for the chaos and the decline of the Jin Kingdom, Liu Yin might still be in the ravine of Liangzhou at this time, just with their dirt buns, they are also worthy of occupying Luoyang, today's battle, they have to taste the power of our Sun Wu." ”

Sun Xin immediately stood in front of the battle and shouted loudly: "Sons and daughters of Jiangdong, today you stand under the city of Luoyang, you have created a new history of Wu Guo, and after capturing Luoyang, your name will be remembered forever by the descendants of Wu State!" Jiangdong sons, today is a good time for you to make meritorious contributions, the first to attack the head of Luoyang City, reward a thousand taels of gold, knighted a thousand households, the first to attack the Luoyang Palace, reward ten thousand taels of gold, knighted ten thousand households, go forward! ”

The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, a thousand taels of gold and a thousand households, ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand households, as an ordinary soldier, it is definitely a dream of being rich overnight, the opportunity is in front of them, how not to make them excited, so the Wu soldiers screamed, and rushed towards the city of Luoyang frantically.

Although the city wall of Luoyang is towering and towering, far more tall than the general city wall, in the eyes of many Wu soldiers, it is golden gold, it is a high-ranking official, so Wu Bing, who wants to be promoted and make a fortune, did not feel how difficult it was to take the city wall of Luoyang, and rushed up in a swarm, one by one, lest others take the lead.

Fifty thousand troops acted together, thousands of troops and horses, and the momentum was also majestic, but the Luoyang city wall, which was as wide as nine miles, was enough to accommodate so many people and horses, and the wide moat in front of the Wu army was the first problem they encountered.

The moat of Luoyang is connected with Luoshui in the south of the city, and forms a circular water system with Luoshui, surrounding Luoyang. If it was just a simple moat, then it would not be too difficult for Wu Bing, who was familiar with the nature of water, to cross the river.

However, the distance of the moat was within the range of bows and arrows on the city wall, and as soon as the Wu soldiers approached the moat, they were immediately attacked by the arrows of the Han army.

Fu Yi personally supervised the battle on the east city wall and was responsible for commanding the battle in the east, and it was Zhang Le's Wudang Fei Army and Gao Yuan's Hubu Army who defended the east city wall, with more than 20,000 men and horses.

Compared with the Tiger Pass, Luoyang's defense is obviously much more difficult, because the Tiger Pass is a pass, only one face to the enemy, the Han army can concentrate most of its forces on the east city wall, strictly defend, even if the Wu army of more than 200,000 people intensively attacked, it is difficult to easily shake the city defense of the Tiger Pass.

The perimeter of the Luoyang city wall reached thirty miles, and more than 70,000 defenders were assigned to the thirty miles of defense line, and the defensive density must have dropped greatly, which invisibly increased the difficulty of defense.

Fu He ordered the Han army to strike effectively at the Wu army that tried to cross the moat, and once the Wu army approached the moat, the archers immediately attacked, and they must not be allowed to cross the moat easily.

The Wu army braved the rain of arrows with a shield and built several pontoon bridges on the moat to facilitate the Wu army to cross the moat, but in the process of building the moat, the Wu soldiers also lost a lot of people, and the floating corpses that fell in the moat were hundreds.

Of course, Sun Xin was indifferent to this loss, or even disagreed, his purpose was to attack the city of Luoyang as quickly as possible to break through the gate of Luoyang, and get the first merit of capturing Luoyang, after the pontoon bridge was completed, the offensive momentum of the Wu army rose again, countless ladders were erected on the city wall, and the Wu soldiers began a crazy siege operation.
