What's more, the Wu army's attack on Luoyang this time was originally to take advantage of the gap, just to seize the opportunity of Luoyang's civil strife, so in the preparation of the attack, the Wu army was extremely hasty, and all kinds of siege equipment were particularly scarce. directly adopted the method of ant-attached siege to the city, wanting to use the tactics of the sea of people to take Luoyang in one fell swoop.

50,000 people pressed on the whole line, and the entire Luoyang east city wall is nine miles long, not like the narrow area of the Tiger Pass, there is enough room to exert here, just the first wave of attack, the Wu army has invested tens of thousands of people, the scene is huge, it is magnificent, I saw Luoyang City, the crowd of people, such as locusts and ants, under the cover of the crossbowmen, swarming towards the head of Luoyang City.

Fu He is calm and calm, like this scene, he doesn't know how many times he has experienced it in his life, although it is the first time for him to guard a big city like Luoyang, but for many years of his career as a horse, he has long developed a character that is as stable as Mount Tai in shock, and in the face of the Wu army that surged up like a tide, Fu He calmly gave the order to fight back.

Although Luoyang City has not encountered such siege operations for many years (when the Han army entered Luoyang, Yang Jun opened the city and surrendered early, and the Han army took Luoyang without firing a single shot), but the defense facilities of Luoyang City can be said to be the most complete in the world, with a large number of arrow towers.

The tower protrudes from the level wall, allowing defenders in the tower to shoot in the direction the wall is facing. The arrows at the corner of the city allow the defenders to expand the direction of their attacks and shoot at different angles.

In addition to the arrow tower, on the city defense, there are also a large number of rolling wood stones, boiling water and oil, bed crossbow arrows, and all the equipment of the imperial city, all of which are complete.

Wudang Fei Army and Hubu Army are the elite divisions in the infantry battle, good at fighting tough battles, more difficult than this battle has also been fought, in the face of the attack of the Wu army, naturally there is no fear, each performing its own duties, each in its place, not in a hurry, heavy response.

The battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate from the beginning, although the Wu army had an advantage in strength, but the siege battle, for example, is not won by a large number of people, the degree of fastening of the city, the degree of perfection of the city defense is, is the key to determine the success or failure of the siege war. The Wu army relied on the tactics of the sea of people to launch an ant-attached offensive, on the surface, the momentum was violent, overwhelming, but the Han army could rely on a solid defense to resist the attack of the Wu army, and the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the Wu army was always difficult to cross the thunder pool half a step.

The arrows on the city are like rain, the wood and stone are like forests, the casualties of the Wu army are quite large, Sun Kai said a little anxiously: "The strong attack is not effective, it only increases the casualties, it is better to think of another strategy." ”

Sun Xin is the pioneer of Zhengyin, and the siege battle has always been commanded by him, now the situation can't be opened, Sun Xin is also irritable, hearing Sun Kai on the side, he can't help but be angry, and said angrily: "You have a good way, then you can command it, I want to see how you take Luoyang City!" ”

Sun Kai only felt that the cost of casualties in the ant-attached siege was quite large, and it was not advisable, seeing that Sun Xin's face was unhappy, he hurriedly said: "Brother Xin, I don't mean that, I think it is difficult to take Luoyang with the ant-attached siege alone, if you use some complementary means, you may be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Sun Xin also became angry because he couldn't fight for a long time, and after hearing Sun Kai's words, he also calmed down and said, "Could it be that Brother Kai has any good plans that can't be achieved?" ”

Sun Kai said: "The method of attacking the city, not only the ant attached to a way, water attack, fire attack, flying stones, Lou Lu, Yi Yuan, etc. can be used for the siege of the city, the younger brother thinks, Luoyang City defense is strong, strong attack is not easy to do, it is better to dig tunnels, take advantage of the Shu people are not prepared, send elite soldiers from the tunnel into the city at night, the inside should be combined with the outside, or can be a battle. ”

Sun Xin frowned slightly and said: "Our army is short of food and grass, and the advantage is to fight quickly, Da Sima has an order, and Luoyang must be taken within ten days, although digging tunnels is good, but how much time does it take." ”

Sun Kai said: "The little brother saw that the soil under Luoyang City was soft, and if he sent people to dig in turn day and night, he would definitely be able to dig into Luoyang City in less than ten days." Brother Xin is not as good as this, you continue to lead the troops to besiege Luoyang, digging tunnels, and leave it to the younger brother to do, one can confuse the Shu army in the city, the two are not wrong, if Brother Xin can take Luoyang earlier, it is the best, if not, the tunnel is a success, and you can also use the tunnel to break the city. ”

When Sun Xin heard it, this idea was good, and even if he agreed to Sun Kai's suggestion, he handed over the excavation of the tunnel to Sun Kai with full responsibility.

In order not to let the Han army in the city notice, Sun Kai set up some tents far away from the city, disguised as the resting place of the Wu army, and sent soldiers to dig tunnels in the tents, and the earthwork dug out was transported away at night, and the beams and pillars and timber needed for the tunnels were also transported at night.

After Sun Xin launched an offensive in the east, Chen Yu led the Yuzhou soldiers to attack the south of the city, Sun Shuo led the Huainan soldiers to attack the west of the city, and Ma Xian led the Qingzhou soldiers to attack the north of the city.

Chen Yu, Sun Shuo and Ma Xian each led a force ranging from 30,000 to 40,000, which was less than Sun Xin and Sun Kai's 50,000 troops, and naturally they were weaker than the Wu army in terms of offensive, but as the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty, in terms of land warfare, their strength was still stronger than the Wu army after all, so their threat to Luoyang City was not worse than the Wu army at all.

Lu Kang also did his best, in addition to leaving one percent of the troops to guard the camp, ninety percent of the men and horses were almost put into the attack, and even the reserves were not prepared, and now the situation of the Wu army does not allow him to keep any land, as time goes by, the more difficult the Wu army will be, the problem of grain and grass has been like a stalk in the throat, one day if it is not solved, one day will trouble the Wu army, and Lu Kang knows that the only solution is to bring it to Luoyang City.
