After the army settled in Pishan, in order to conquer Luoyang City, Feng Zhou of course had to personally explore the defense of Luoyang City.

This time, he learned his lesson, and did not go back to the same place, and dared to probe the enemy camp with only two subordinates.

On May 1 of the third year of Jianxing, Feng Zhou led all the generals and 500 Beiwei troops to Luoyang City, and he took Wei Yan and Jiang Wei to board a special city viewing car to circle the city for a week, observing the various conditions of Luoyang city defense, so as to formulate siege tactics. But after only half a circle around Luoyang City, Feng Zhou's brows wrinkled into the word 'Sichuan'.

As the capital of the Great Wei, Luoyang was built strongly, and after the Han army occupied Guanzhong, the Wei State sent important ministers to levy and levy troops for safety, and built Luoyang City well, just to resist the attack of Shu Han.

In Feng Zhou's view, the city wall of Luoyang City is very strong, and the four gates all have urn cities, and there are three gates of the main tower, the arrow tower and the gate tower. The gate tower is in the outermost part, and its function is to lift the suspension bridge, and the arrow tower is in the middle, and there are square windows on the front and sides for archery. The main building is in the innermost part and is the main gate of the city. The bluestone city wall is four zhang high, the bottom is six zhang wide, the top is more than four zhang wide, and the city wall has an arrow platform protruding from the city wall every hundred steps - that is to say, if you use a ladder to climb the wall to attack the city, not only will the front head be attacked by the enemy, but the left and right sides may also be warmly entertained by the archers of the city defenders anytime and anywhere!

There were as many as one hundred and twenty garrison towers on the city wall! There were even more powerful moats, more than three zhang wide and nearly two zhang deep—according to detailed reports, the trenches were not only filled with water drawn from Yishui and Luoshui, but also full of pointed wooden stakes more than one zhang high!

Of course, these are not in the eyes of Feng Zhou, because this is what a strong city in the world should look like.

What made Feng Zhou frown was that he found that two or three trebuchets were installed in each arrow tower and Tibetan soldier tower, and he knew that the power was infinite when he looked at the tall and majestic appearance.

After all, the trebuchet was originally invented by Cao Cao, and they also have a group of genius craftsmen led by Ma Jun, so it is natural to build a trebuchet with stronger power and farther attack power.

In general, Luoyang's area is not as good as Chang'an, but the city defense is stronger, the weapons are more complete, and the elite combat effectiveness is more powerful.

Especially the main general of the defenders is Sima Yi, who is even better at defense, and in the face of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's all-out attack, he still managed to do it with ease, and his ability can be seen.

Historically, although he was at a comprehensive disadvantage in the face of Zhuge Liang, he managed to hold on - although he was sitting on the right time, place, and people, he could only shrink his defense when he was ten times the enemy.

Lian Fengzhou has studied with Zhuge Liang for so long, and in the way of leading troops, he still doesn't dare to say that he can match it, and Sima Yi can succeed in shrinking the defense, and he can be regarded as a famous general for a while.

"It is worthy of being a strong city in the world, this city is ten times more difficult to fight than Chang'an! Without running out of time, it will be difficult to capture this important city!" Feng Zhou couldn't help but nod secretly.

Due to the moat, it will lead to the army in the attack, the trebuchet is placed in a very far position, can not effectively suppress the city wall and tower, as for the hollow pottery spontaneous combustion problem, Wei is full of talents, presumably there is a good way to resist.

Even if they can't think of a way to defend themselves, they can hurt each other - according to the detailed work, they have already researched clay pots that can be used for spontaneous combustion.

"I'm underestimating the world. Feng Zhou said with a smile to Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, who were in the car together.

Wei Yan nodded, pursing his lips and saying nothing.

Jiang Wei was younger, his eyesight could reach far, and he said: "Your Majesty, the ministers see that the Wei army in the city has discovered you, and many pseudo-Wei officials have come up to the city and are looking at you. ”

When Feng Zhou heard this, he hurriedly looked at the city, and sure enough, he saw that many people in luxurious clothes and armor had already gone up to the city wall, pointing at him. Feng Zhou smiled coldly and ordered: "The city viewing car stepped forward and spoke within two hundred steps." The soldiers under the car agreed, and Wei Yan and Jiang Wei each lifted the prepared shields and personally raised their shields to protect the boat.

In this way, Feng Zhou stood on the city viewing car, appearing in front of the five hundred backing troops, which was very eye-catching.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Wei army had never seen Feng Zhou, and most of them followed those generals to look down. Feng Zhou shouted: "Listen to the people of the city in the middle of the city, I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Chan, born with martial arts and wisdom, beheaded Xu Huang and Zhang He, Ke Shang broke Chang'an, occupied Guanzhong, caused by the soldiers, invincible, and now inherit the will of Emperor Zhaolie, lead the division of 100,000 tigers, and attack Luoyang in the eastern part of the country, in order to revive the Han Dynasty. ”

His voice was not so loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the city, and everyone was stunned, and all their faces changed color.

Ordinary soldiers just think that Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty is very good, and he can shout so clearly, but those who have been on the battlefield for a long time are in their hearts: "Everyone says that Emperor Shu Han has great merit, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!"

Sima Yi was holding a military meeting in the Tibetan military tower in the city at this time, and when he heard that the Han Emperor Liu Chan had arrived at the city, he hurriedly led the generals to the city.

At this time, when he heard Feng Zhou's clear drink, he knew that Feng Zhou was disturbing the heart of the Luoyang army, so he took a step forward and shouted: "Liu Adou, my Great Wei is here from the mandate of heaven, and the former Han Emperor Liu Xie knew that his virtue was not worthy, so he imitated the actions of the ancient sage Yao Shun, and Zen gave way to the first emperor, and he was crowned the Duke of Shanyang. If you are really loyal to the Han family, you should obey the wish of the Duke of Shanyang, and surrender to my Great Wei!

The generals of the Wei army were overjoyed and said: "Well said, if the Shu Kingdom is not right, I am afraid of the Duke of Shanyang!"

"Hahaha!" Feng Zhou laughed when he heard this: "It turns out that Sima Yi has already arrived at the city, didn't you run very fast, I galloped at the gate of your camp that day, you didn't dare to fight, and retreated directly to the city, this kind of decisiveness also shows that you are a character." If you abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and sacrifice the city, I will not only reward you with the position of marquis, but also entrust you with the important task of leading a large army to the north to conquer Liaodong and the south to Pingdong and Eastern Wu, how"

"My Great Wei is rising like the sun, how can my Great Wei soldiers be confused by you, you don't want to argue with clever words, my Sima Yi is deeply trusted by the emperor, and I am about to serve the country and expel foreign thieves, if you surrender to Great Wei, my Sima Yi, the position of the general, is to give up, and I am willing. ”

"What a clever Sima Yi. Feng Zhou laughed: "I set out this time to attack Luoyang, and I am fighting with the intention of recovering the Central Plains! But the Han family has risen three times, and it must be broken and established, and I will never force or force anyone to surrender! Because it is much easier for me to kill you than to surrender you!"

It's easier to kill them than to bring them down

It's so insulting!

Feng Zhou's words of contempt made the Wei generals all have bruises on their foreheads.

"Adou Xiaoer, you have such a big breath!"

Yulin Zhonglang, who was in his twenties, walked Xiahou Xuan out of the crowd, holding the battlements with one hand, and pointing at the sealing boat with the other and shouted: "Adou Xiaoer, this general Xiahou Xuan is standing here, kill!

"Very good, it's you who want to kill you!" Feng Zhou laughed, and instantly took off the iron-fisted strong bow, bent the bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow, only to hear a miserable scream, Rao is Xiahou Xuan was wearing leather armor, and the sharp arrow still penetrated his chest, and his body flew backwards, hitting the wall of the city tower behind him and falling to the ground, and the city wall was suddenly in chaos.

Feng Zhou laughed and said: "Sima Yi, and other Wei generals, you can also see and hear clearly, it is this guy named Xiahou Xuan who begged me to kill him." It was the first time I had heard such a strange request, but it didn't matter, I gave him a grant. ”
