Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the city gate of Shangchun Gate, the corpses of Zhao Jun and Zheng Jun are intertwined.
Zhao Jun, who was entering the city, stepped forward and dragged Zheng Jun's corpse by the feet with both hands, dragging it all the way to the door. The corpses in the city gate road were dragged away by the soldiers of Zhao and cleared a way. Immediately, someone stepped forward and sprinkled the road with clean water to wash away the blood.
A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Li Chongjiu, Zhang Xuansu, Xue Wanshu and others rode horses, surrounded by Zhao soldiers, and slowly entered the Shangchun Gate. Li Chongjiu didn't think that he would enter Luoyang for the second time, but in this way.
The fighting in Luoyang City continued.
The heavy rain a few days ago caused the Luoshui flowing through Luoyang City to swell, and Luoshui divided Luoyang City in two. The Zhao army fleet went straight up along the Luoshui, and where it entered the city, the towering palaces on both sides of the Luoshui still stood on both sides.
The high-rise buildings stood against each other, and the Luoshui under the high-rise buildings had long been gone, and the Zhao army fleet broke the barrage iron lock and went straight into Luoyang City. More than 30 warships, each carrying dozens to 100 soldiers, followed the Luo River into the heart of Luoyang City.
The soldier Zhao on the bow of the boat threw stones and arrows along the river at the Zheng soldier who was still resisting. The battleship marched along the river, and the soldiers of Zhao continued to get off the boat from the boat, and occupied the important place of Luoyang City along the Luoshui.
Li Chongjiu climbed the triple bell tower next to the Spring Gate, climbed high and looked at the battle situation of the entire city at a glance.
Luoshui was on the south bank of Shangchun Gate, and the Zhao warships followed Luoshui and attacked the Zheng army in the northern city of Luoyang. Compared with the south city of Luoyang, the resistance of the north city is very fierce, and the twenty-eight squares of Luoyang North City and the palace city of Luoyang are located here. The remnants of Zheng Jun are still unwilling to give up.
Although Wang Shichong was captured. But the Jianghuai army under his command is worthy of being the elite of a hundred battles. At the moment, the city is still firmly defended. There were even hundreds of soldiers blocking the main road of the Zhao army approaching the palace city of Luoyang. However, these people were rushed to the cavalry of the Zhao army. Chop down directly on the street.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Shichong was captured, the battle was still so fierce.
"Tell Your Majesty that the southern city of Luoyang has been captured, and the defenders of the southern city, Zheng Guoqi, Wang Shiyun, Luoyang defenders, Wang Deren, and Zhao Yaqing have all been captured."
Li Chongjiu nodded, Luoyang is in the south city and north of Luoshui. Wang Shichong's troops were all in the northern city, so he captured the southern city so quickly. That's to be expected. In the south of the city, it is only a matter of time before the north city of Luoyang and the palace city of Luoyang are captured.
"Majesty!"
Li Chongjiu heard a familiar voice, turned his head and saw Shan Xiongxin standing on his side, about to kneel down to pay a salute.
Li Chongjiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Shan Xiongxin up and said, "Brother Shan, you and I are poor friends, so you don't need to make this big gift." ”
As soon as Li Chongjiu finished speaking, Ji Chuan on the side coughed violently and said to himself: "The climate in Luoyang is really changing three times a day!" ”
Shan Xiongxin laughed and said, "Thank you for valuing the deceased so much." I think that when His Majesty came to Erxian Zhuang to vote for me Shan, who would have expected that today's storm will meet and His Majesty will become the lord of one party, Shan is really pleased, but His Majesty is already the king of a country today. How can you abolish the number of rites because of a single person......"
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh that when he was in Qiqianzhai, there was only Wang Junkuo. Shan Xiongxin and the two met together with themselves in Hanwei, but the relationship between poor and lowly friends is the deepest. It is not easy to be rich and wife, expensive is not easy to befriend, and it is not grateful. When clothing, you can be a little arrogant. And now when you have the will, you must know how to put down the shelf, and after reaching it, you must repay the little grace of the past.
After speaking, Shan Xiongxin bowed down again and saluted solemnly.
Li Chongjiu thought of the kindness of Shan Xiongxin after the 7,000 villages were burned that year, so he held Shan Xiongxin's hands and said, "Second Brother Shan, you will help me again in the future." ”
"Shan Xiongxin, you traitor to glory, I, Wang Shichong, will not let you go."
But seeing Wang Shichong, who was wearing a military uniform, being escorted to the bell tower, Li Chongjiu took a closer look at this famous overlord of the party, who was now being held by four Zhao sergeants, and was still struggling.
Li Chongjiu looked at Wang Shichong and said, "King Zheng, they are all prisoners, what are you struggling for?" ”
Wang Shichong raised his head, looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "You are Li Chongjiu, the king of Zhao?" ”
Li Chongjiu nodded.
Wang Shichong said: "King Zhao, Luoyang is two thousand miles away from Youjing, and according to Chang'an, it is only a few hundred miles, you treacherously captured Luoyang, this move hinders your reputation, and you will be recaptured by Li Yuan in the future." I, no, Wang is willing to surrender to you, guard Luoyang for you, and resist Li Yuandong's exit from the customs, so it's not a good thing. ”
Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Shichong's words: "Wang Shichong, are you really a three-year-old child?" and I will believe you. ”
Wang Shichong listened to Li Chongjiu's refusal to show a desperate look, but he was still unwilling to say: "King Zhao, Wang has never offended you in his life, and he has always been respectful to Zhao Guo, but please can you spare my life, like Dou Jiande?" ”
Li Chongjiu shook his head and said: "Yes, you have not offended me, but you have long been angry and resentful, and today I want to borrow your head to become my reputation and appease the people who died in vain near Luoyang." ”
"Li Chongjiu is too desperate!" Wang Shichong couldn't help roaring, he was furious at first, and at this time, Wang Xuanying, the eldest grandson An Shi, Du Yan and others were also escorted to the bell tower. When Wang Shichong saw Wang Xuanying, he immediately couldn't help but lose his temper, and the father and son cried relatively loudly.
Wang Shichong cried so much that he poured out his heart and lungs, and Wang Xuanying was also average, the father and son of the Wang family were high in the past, but today they are like lost dogs.
Li Chongjiu said: "The day you kill the king and usurp the throne, you should think that today, no matter who you are, in the position of me, you must be killed." You are also a generation of heroes, when you are dying, why follow the woman's state. ”
At that moment, Li Chongjiu said: "Escort Wang Shichong and his son to Luoyang Palace, and tell Zheng Jun to open the city and surrender immediately!" ”
"No!" Shan Xiongxin clenched his fists and agreed.
When Wang Shichong was about to be detained, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Luoyang is the land of the king, and my Wang Shichong is blessed and can't keep it!" ”
Everyone ignored and pushed Wang Shichong off the bell tower. At this time, Li Chongjiu saw that the Zhao army had crossed the river from the south of the city and attacked directly along the Tianjie to the north of the city, while the Zhao soldiers were guarding the Tianjin Bridge. The two sergeants were across the Tianjin Bridge, shooting at each other with bows and crossbows, and at this time, the battleships of the Zhao army were already approaching the Tianjin Bridge, and countless stones and arrows were thrown towards the Zheng army like raindrops!
Zheng Jun couldn't bear it, so he gave up the Tianjin Bridge at the moment and retreated to the end gate of the imperial city.
At the same time, in the north of Luoyang City, there was also a rumbling drum, it turned out that Xu Shiji, Wang Mahan broke through Heyang, and left the sailors to garrison the three cities of Heyang. The two led 20,000 Zhao troops to cross the Yellow River from the Heyang pontoon bridge to attack the north gate of Luoyang.
Xu Shiji, Wang Ma Han and the two men and horses were displayed under the round wall city, and the wings of the people and horses were far away.
For a while, Luoyang Palace City was attacked on three sides! More than 100,000 Zhao soldiers came to the city, and Luoyang was already crumbling.
At this time, Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanying's father and son were escorted by Shan Xiongxin to the Xuanren Gate in the east city of Luoyang Palace, and called Zheng Jun on the city wall. Wang Shichong's father and son hung their heads and looked like they were being slaughtered. The soldiers of Zhao under the city gathered and rubbed their hands.
In the distance, above the Luoshui River, the Zhao warship 6 continued to sail in, and the Zhao soldiers and soldiers could not wait to jump off the ship from the bow deck and land to join the siege of Luoyang City. The stones on the battleship began to throw stone projectiles at Luoyang City, and with each bullet, the left and right Zhao soldiers cheered together.
The Zhao army under the city lined up in formation, the army gathered, and the morale of the Zhao army was extremely high, and they shouted to the head of the city: "Surrender!" ”
"Drop!"
"Drop!"
The people of Luoyang in Luoyang City were frightened, and some even thought that the Tang Army had broken through Luoyang City.
Many people went out to cut the door of the house, there were several pieces of wood, the ladies all plastered their faces with plaster, and the last little grain left in the house was carefully buried in the cellar. Looting, even Li Mi, who has always regarded himself as a reputation, has done it, Luoyang is the first capital in the world, who doesn't care, but what is left in Luoyang City now.
Many well-dressed people in the city poked their heads out, and in their own high-walled courtyards, they looked tremblingly in the direction of the Luoyang Palace wall, only to hear Zhao Jun's voice wave after wave.
In a mansion in Luoyang City, an old crane said to several students: "Ten years ago, Yang Xuangan first came, a few years later came Li Mi, and this year it was Li Yuan, I didn't expect this to walk around like a ......." ”
"Wang Shichong, it's over! Zheng Guo, it's over! ”
"People in the world are chasing deer, what is the crime of deer, we are trembling and waiting, this day is finally going to change!"
After hesitating for a while, the defenders of the Zheng army on the palace city of Luoyang finally made a decision, and the banner of the Zheng character slowly fell from the city.
The six-zhang tall vermilion lacquer gate of Xuanren Gate slowly opens to both sides! From Shangchun Gate to Xuanren Gate, and then to Luoyang Palace City, the avenue has been opened!
"The city is broken!"
"The city is broken!"
The Zhao army under the city shouted together, and immediately rushed to the city gate, and the soldiers raised their guns and trotted all the way into the city. Luoyang City, the first capital in the world, has been captured by the Zhao army!
"Your Majesty, we have captured Luoyang!" Ji Chuan was overjoyed and congratulated Li Chongjiu.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Zhang Xuansu and Xue Wanshu congratulated Li Chongjiu together. All the generals were overjoyed.
Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, when Yang Xuangan rebelled, the main forces of the Great Sui were in Liaodong, and Luoyang was empty, but he couldn't enter Luoyang. When Li Mi raised his army, he gathered 300,000 people, and he had the hope of the world, but he could not break Luoyang, and finally the general trend was gone. Li Yuan and Guan Longzhirao, according to the emperor's business, there is one third of the world, but after attacking Luoyang for half a year, they were almost put in the palm of their hands but failed.
Zhao Guo almost effortlessly went down to Luoyang, is it not providence. Now Li Chongjiu has done what Yang Xuangan, Li Mi, and Li Yuan can't do, isn't it the master of the world.
Facing the courtiers' congratulations, Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "The capture of Luoyang is just the beginning, and my great cause has only taken the first step!" ”
