Chapter 834: The Tang Dynasty is a famous marshal
Luoyang City, 200,000 Qin troops surrounded this city, and the Qin army's Changge was like a forest, blocking the sight of the defenders.
Wei Wuji, Pang Juan, Xue Rengui, and Li Ling were responsible for defending Luoyang City.
If you deal with ordinary people, these four generals are enough, but this time they are facing the 200,000 Qin troops led by Lao Qin himself.
In addition to the fierce general Lu Bu, there is also a commander who makes Wei Wuji and Pang Juan jealous.
"The lord told us to beware of Li Tao, it is said that this is a man who is extremely good at the art of war."
Wei Wuji mentions an imperial commander.
Li Tao, Chu Tian in the first national war, that is, the battle of Anshi City, once saw this person under the command of Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
Lao Qin was recruited in the Fourth National War.
Li Jing and Li Tao were the two major commanders under the account of Tang Taizong, among which Li Jing's command ability was stronger, but Li Tao was not weak, and it was Li Tao who finally destroyed the Tang Dynasty commander of Goguryeo.
Li Tao from the Wagang army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, to the Tang Dynasty from the Tang Taizong to conquer the Quartet, Ping Wang Shichong, destroy Dou Jiande, and destroy Liu Heimin, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he participated in the attack on the Eastern Turks, pacified Xue Yantuo, and destroyed Goguryeo, with rich experience.
This is also the commander of the Guanzhong Army, who is on an equal footing with Wang Jian.
In order to capture Luoyang City, Lao Qin pushed the defense line back to the Heluo area, and did not hesitate to use all his hole cards.
Chutian's offensive in western Liaoxi was fierce, storming Guzhu City, and even inviting Huo An, the protector of the Western Regions, to enter the customs, and also hired 30,000 elite soldiers and horses from the Tsarist Russian Empire to participate in the battle, which caused the pressure on Lao Qin's side to be extremely huge.
"Wind, wind, gale!"
The black-armored Qin army slapped its shields, tens of thousands of divine arm bows were angrily opened, and they were thrown at Luoyang City at an oblique angle, and the rain of arrows like black clouds fell into the city one after another, and groups of defenders were killed by crossbow arrows.
Pang Juan braved the rain of arrows, patrolling the city wall, and dozens of arrows hit the big shield of Pang Juan's own soldiers, and the cowhide shield was comparable to a hedgehog.
The huge stone smashed down, and Luoyang City trembled!
"The strength of the opposite side is no less than 100,000!"
Pang Juan could see the black Qin army outside the city from the gap in the cowhide shield.
The number of the Qin army was huge and endless.
Lao Qin, Li Tao, and Wanyan Zonghan's aura of the whole army is superimposed layer by layer, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army has almost reached its peak!
Hundreds of trebuchets and ballistas bombarded Luoyang City one after another, and Luoyang City was likely to be reduced to ruins again.
The Qin army's assault on the city of Luoyang continued, and the bricks on the outer layer of the city walls fell off, revealing the rammed earth inside.
Half of the thick crossbow bolts are submerged in the rammed earth layer, and the rammed earth cracks!
Xue Rengui held Fang Tian's halberd and led a team of white-robed cavalry out of the city to fight against him, and Fang Tian's halberd harvested the Qin army along the way!
Among the Qin army, there were five schools of the Northern Army belonging to the Han Empire.
Huangfu Song died in battle, Zhu Jun told the old man to return to his hometown, and the other two talismans of the Fifth School of the Northern Army fell into the hands of Lao Qin, and the number of the Fifth School of the Northern Army recruited by Lao Qin was twice as many as the 15,000 people recruited by Lu Zhi's talisman in Chutian's hands, totaling 30,000 people!
Xue Rengui found himself facing a familiar opponent.
The longbowmen of the shooting battalion opened their bows and bent their shots, and the white-robed cavalry fell in response.
The Shooting Sound Battalion is a rare high-level longbowman, and under the aura bonus of the whole army of the main general and several commanders, the damage is amazing, enough to shoot the white-robed cavalry commanded by Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui relied on his strength and archery skills to sweep in front of the archery camp, shooting thirteen arrows in a row, shooting thirteen marksmen!
The white-robed cavalry also rode up, using mounted archery to exchange losses with the shooting battalion.
Among the Qin army, Lu Bu's wolf cavalry was always eyeing him.
Once Xue Rengui made a move, Lu Bu immediately led the wolf cavalry to meet Xue Rengui!
"Xue Rengui, let's compete!"
Lu Bu didn't want to admit that he was caught up by Xue Rengui, so he stared at Xue Rengui and brandished Fang Tian's halberd to kill!
And in the rear of Lu Bu, there was also the cavalry cover of Li Dao and Guo Yan.
Xue Rengui went out of the city to fight against the battle, unwilling to entangle too much, so he let the white-robed cavalry retreat into the city first, personally holding Fang Tian's halberd, and retreating in battle!
Weapons collided with a rain of arrows, and dozens of arrows flew in all directions.
Xue Rengui single-handedly blocked the rain of arrows shooting at him.
Lu Bu's red rabbit horse was swift, like a flame, and went straight to Xue Rengui.
The two Fang Tian Painting Halberds collided again, and in an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and the two fierce generals fought again!
Lu Bu used the impact of the red rabbit horse to gain the upper hand for a while!
"It's just the power of the red rabbit horse, otherwise you will be defeated by me."
Xue Rengui deliberately made remarks to provoke Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's forehead was bruised, and he was angered by Xue Rengui, and his attack became more and more ferocious!
Fang Tian painted a halberd dancing wildly, and the strength of each halberd was enough to break the mountain stone!
Xue Rengui's mount was not as good as the Red Rabbit Horse, and it was already a little difficult, and it seemed that he could not withstand the force of the two fierce generals fighting.
The strength of the two fierce generals is extremely strong.
"I will capture you alive today!"
Lu Bu was annoyed and angry, his status as the number one general had been provoked by Xue Rengui many times.
"It's a pity."
Xue Rengui struggled to pick up Lu Bu's blow, and several thick crossbow arrows broke through the air!
Xue Rengui had already retreated to the range of the city defense, and the four Eight Bull crossbows were aimed at Lu Bu!
Lu Bu did not dare to be attacked by the Eight Bull Crossbow, and rode a red rabbit horse to avoid the thick crossbow arrows shot by the Eight Bull Crossbow.
Xue Rengui took this opportunity to return to Luoyang City.
The heavy gates were closed, and the shouts of killing continued outside.
Xue Rengui knew that the crisis in Luoyang City was far from being resolved, and the current Luoyang City was in danger of falling at all times.
The 200,000 Qin army looked like it was inevitable.
When Mingguan was fighting in Chutian, he helped Lao Qin escape the catastrophe, and now, Lao Qin wants to relieve the siege of Liaoxi in Mingguan by attacking Luoyang.
Old Qin stood in the northwest corner of Luoyang City, his face a little pale.
After the loss of Luoyang City, it was difficult to recapture Luoyang City.
The commander of the Tang Dynasty, Li Tao, the commander of the Jin State, Wanyan Zonghan, was around Lao Qin, and Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia.
These generals are all tricky characters.
Lao Qin is bound to take back Luoyang City.
"Wang Jian can still block Wu Qi for a while with the strong city defense of Puban City, otherwise once Wu Qi captures Puban City, Guanzhong will be shaken, and I will have to return to the division."
Lao Qin looked in the direction of Hedong County in the north, and Wang Jian held on under the strong attack of Wu Qi to buy time for Lao Qin.
Once Wu Qi took the time to spare, then it was not Wei Wuji that Lao Qin would have to face, but Wu Qi.
"Capture Luoyang City at all costs...... cough cough cough ......"
Under Lao Qin's order, the attack of 200,000 Qin troops on Luoyang City became more ferocious.
Rows of Qin soldiers stormed Luoyang City, and even set fire to the northwest corner, wanting to burn down the city wall, taking advantage of the weakness.
Luoyang City is full of wolf smoke.
In Yin Mountain, the battle between Yue Fei and Tuoba Xianbei was also quite tragic, and the blood stained Yin Mountain.
The battle flag of the Yue family army hunted, and Yue Fei's red cloak was shattered.
Among Tuoba Xianbei was an archer with amazing arm strength, and the armor-piercing arrows he shot tore Yue Fei's cloak and almost seriously injured Yue Fei.
However, the Yuejia army still defeated Tuoba Xianbei and expelled him to Helan Mountain.
The fierce general Yang Zaixing held a red tassel gun, reined in with the gun, and pursued all the way to Helan Mountain, which stopped.
"Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, how many soldiers and horses have you lost?"
Yue Fei asked two important generals.
"Lost 5,000 elites and more than 10,000 low-level subordinates."
"Lost 4,000 elites and more than 10,000 cavalry."
"The cavalry of the Beiwei Army also has a lot of losses."
Yue Fei counted the losses of the various units of the Yue family's army.
At present, there are three divisions of the Yuejia army, and when fighting with the Northern Wei tiger-patterned cavalry and the iron eagle scouts, it is inevitable to suffer losses.
Tuoba Tao of the Xianbei tribe of the Northern Wei Dynasty is himself an emperor-level cavalry general, and Er Zhurong, a general who is also good at using cavalry, is more elite than Zhang Xian and Niu Gao's cavalry.
However, the Yue family army still relied on Yue Fei's terrible bonus to the Yue family army to defeat Tuoba Tao and protect the territory of the Chutian forces in the Hetao and Yinshan areas.
Zhang Xian asked Yue Fei, "General, where should we go next?" Attack Helan Mountain, or go to support Luoyang, or stay behind Yinshan? ”
Yue Fei looked at the Yue family's army, which had lost nearly half of it: "The lord has no intention of dispatching soldiers and horses on the west road, and may think that the soldiers and horses on the east road are enough." We put pressure on the Guanzhong Army on the western road so that they can enter the Guanzhong in the future. ”
"That means continuing to attack Helan Mountain?"
"Not bad. Offense is the best defense. ”
Yue Fei commanded the state army and continued the attack.
Yang Ye's invincible legion, starting from Yanmen County, directly crossed the Yellow River to attack Yuzhong.
Yue Fei and Yang Ye, together with Wu Qi and Wei Wuji, could actually put pressure on the Guanzhong region from three sides, intending to annex Guanzhong.
In the area of Helan Mountain, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao returned to this place and was allowed to enter Yinzhou City to garrison.
Er Zhurong, the cavalry general under Tuoba Tao's tent, Xi Kangsheng, the bow general, and others were more or less wounded.
The Northern Wei Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry, half of which was killed, while the Tiger Striped Iron Cavalry, with more than half of the losses, was consumed in the battle with the Beiwei Army.
Tuoba Tao's cavalry was only half a level lower than Yue Fei, so the battle was still stalemate, but Tuoba Tao was still defeated, which made Tuoba Tao quite unwilling.
Zhou Bo, a military general of the Western Han Dynasty, was ordered to come to Yinzhou City and stop Yue Fei's advance with Tuobatao.
Zhou Bo had to join forces with Tuoba Tao: "Yue Fei's legion, the battle with you in Yinshan lasted for several months. Although you were defeated in the end, Yue Fei's legion losses were definitely not small, so even if Yue Fei wanted to attack Yinzhou City, we only needed to defend this city, and if he couldn't attack it for a long time, he would retreat. ”
"I heard that the King of Qin is attacking Luoyang City, if the King of Qin can take Luoyang City as soon as possible, the crisis in Yinzhou City can be resolved. Otherwise, Yinzhou City was captured, and Guanzhong and Xiliang were threatened at the same time. ”
Tuoba Tao is also aware of the surrounding situation.
Lao Qin attacked Luoyang City, and Chutian attacked Guzhu City, it depends on who can take the lead.
Fangcheng Xia Dao between Yuzhou and Jingzhou, commanders such as Le Yi, Cao Ren, and Feng Yi, fought against the Nanyang Army of Tang.
said that Tang sent Xu Chu out, and the tiger idiot Xu Chu was naked, carrying a knife in and out of Cao Ren's army, and beheading 300 people.
Cao Ren tried to attack Xu Chu, but he still couldn't stop Xu Chu, but was injured by Xu Chu, and there was blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Tiger idiot Xu Chu has a strange power no less than Dian Wei, and when he charges into battle, he bursts out with powerful combat power.
said that Tang took Guo Ziyi as the commander and sent Xu Chu and Qin Qiong to take turns to charge into battle and attack Cao Ren's army, wanting to use Cao Ren as a breakthrough.
Le Yi and Le Jin served as the middle army, Cao Ren and Man Zhong served as the left army, and Feng Yi, Zhang He, and Ju Yi served as the right army.
Compared with Le Yi and Feng Yi's legions, Cao Ren's legions lacked special troops, and it seemed that it was easier to break through.
Therefore, it is said that Tang chose to assault Cao Ren's left army.
But Cao Ren was not so easy to break through, and was attacked back and forth by Xu Chu and Qin Qiong three times, and the army had a tendency to collapse.
Le Yi dispatched Zhang He's commander Euphorbia to support Cao Ren.
Three thousand halberds armed with large shields and halberds lined up in a dense defensive formation, and when Xu Chu attacked Cao Ren's army for the fourth time, he was blocked by a dense number of halberds.
Xu Chu didn't think much about it, he raised his knife and cut down a halberd, the shield was cut in two, and the halberd who was behind the shield was killed by Xu Chu with a knife!
The halberd warrior was not frightened away by Xu Chu, but strode forward, and more than a dozen halberds stabbed at Xu Chu almost at the same time.
Xu Chu cut off two halberds, but there were still halberds, and the sharp halberd blades pecked, leaving scratches on Xu Chu's chest!
Zhang He's halberd warriors are different from ordinary pikemen, the halberd warriors have stronger combat effectiveness, and the phalanx composed of three thousand halberd warriors can be defeated by their own strength unless they are saint-level fierce generals.
Xu Chu killed dozens of halberders, did not dare to go deeper, and finally retreated.
"That's the intelligence, Zhang He's Euphorbia?"
It is said that Tang saw the army of euphorbia soldiers arranged in an iron wall not far away.
This is Zhang He's elite army.
"Chen Dao, do you have the confidence to defeat the Euphorbia?"
said that Tang looked at Chen Dao, the local military general of the Three Kingdoms.
Shu Han's Wudang Flying Army is in the hands of Mu Ke, and Bai Yu is talking about Tang here.
Chen Zhi watched the performance of Zhang He's Euphorbia, and then made a judgment based on the situation of his own Bai Yu soldiers: "Bai Yu soldiers and Euphorbia soldiers, among the best, have their own strengths. ”
"Should I devote all my elites to help Lao Qin?"
said that Tang weighed in his heart whether he should go all out.
Nanyang County is a large county with a population of millions, so it is not a big problem to recruit an army of 100,000. However, from a population of several million, the number of elite troops who have selected a suitable source of troops and transferred to become a small number of elite troops.
The consumption of Bai Yu soldiers is also quite painful for Tang.
"Since you have already stood in the camp, let the Bai Yu soldiers forcibly break the formation."
It is said that Tang pressed Chen Zhi's Bai Yu soldiers and forcibly attacked Zhang He's halberd army!
An elite foot soldier with a white feather in his helmet went into battle, aiming directly at Zhang He's halberd!
Zhang He's Euphorbia Legion met his opponent.
When Cao Ren was said to be targeted by Tang, Le Yi ordered Feng Yi and Ju Yi's right army to attack and share the pressure of the left army.
It is said that Tang put the main elite in the left army, and the right army was empty because of this, and it was not easy to be attacked by Feng Yi.
All directions of Chutian's forces were attacked, and Hefei City was relatively calm. This time, Sun Jian did not attack again.
At the same time, the Legion of Fubo was in a stalemate.
The Fubo Army under the command of Yu Yunwen, Chung Ji-ryong, Yi Sun-sin, and Seo Sun-sung was wandering around Ganghwa Island in Goryeo, hesitating whether to go ashore to attack the royal city of Goryeo, Kaegyeong.
The governor of Goryeo, Yi Sung-gye, stationed 200,000 troops and confronted the Fubo army.
