Chapter 297: A New Style of Siege
Feng Zhou returned to the camp all the way, only to feel strong and reprimanded Chief Fang. Just shocked the Wei army in Luoyang, but began to inspect the Bishan military camp again. At this time, he set up a full set of guards of honor for the Son of Heaven, opening the way with Huang Yue, followed by the Red Dragon Banner, Qingyou Banner, Taichang Banner and other emperor's marching flags, and the rest of the Huanglu, Yue, Qi, axe, knife, spear and other blade-holding guards guarded both sides.
Feng Zhou changed into regular clothes, wearing a dragon robe, red socks, wearing a winged crown, covered with gold armor, riding on a white horse, everywhere he passed was the sound of the mountain calling long live, 100,000 Han troops were extremely excited, roaring loudly, it was really a sound into the clouds, and the four fields were shocked.
The Han army camp was suddenly full of joy, Feng Zhou has always been simple, rarely engage in this scene, but his divine power is carried out in the heart of every Han soldier, he left for four or five days, but he has captured the king of the city of Great Wei Rencheng, and crushed the opponent's 50,000 strong army, which is really majestic.
Among the Han army, the invincible commander of Feng Zhou was in reverence, although he was still trapped in a lonely city at this time, but because of the emperor's patrol camp and morale, many veterans were full of joy, to the recruits to say and point, explain the prestige of Feng Zhou, words can not help but exaggerate a little, bluffing the recruits dumbfounded, amazed. 、
After Fengzhou ordered, today's camp will add food and wine, and the battalions will be even more joyful, and the voices of long live will be endless. In contrast, the city is gloomy and miserable, and the morale is a big setback, although Sima Yi is eloquent and strategic, he can only appease in every way, but the general trend is like this, but he can only cry out in vain.
It can be said that Feng Zhou showed off his might under Luoyang City and did not attack the city, but the army in Luoyang City was in turmoil.
Some time ago, the general Sima Yi said that the Emperor of Shu Han only brought 1,000 soldiers and horses to the Tiger Prison Pass, and there must be no return. Who would have thought that 50,000 enemies would be destroyed in one battle, and almost all the troops in Hebei would be wiped out.
Cao Cao has only unified the north for more than 20 years, and even if Hebei, You, Qing and other places work hard to develop, how many people can there be, there are only two or three million, and how many young and strong people can these people withdraw
It can be said that at present, except for Luoyang, Yecheng and Wancheng, Great Wei has almost no soldiers to fight.
Therefore, the appearance of Fengzhou was just an appearance, which greatly demoralized the Wei army, and let the Wei generals see the strength of the Han army.
Besides, the Shu Han people are already occupying Jingyi Yongliang, and the momentum is flourishing, even if there are 100,000 Han troops here, but there are still more than 100,000 horses in the rear, and the same is true for Jingzhou. And the Wei army has already used all its strength, but with the help of Jiancheng, this is only able to drag one-third of the strength of others.
And the Han Dynasty ruled the world for 400 years, the orthodox concept of the Han family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the Shu Han Emperor Liu Chanzi inherited his father's business, and Emperor Guangwu is the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing.
Not only that, Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu Han, was even more powerful and unmatched.
In the future, who will the world belong to, how can the generals in Luoyang not know that the Wei army, which is still sticking to the city on the surface, is in turmoil, and many generals have the intention of preserving their strength and surrendering at any time.
Seeing that the Wei Dynasty, which was established less than a few years ago, was just like the new dynasty of the year, and the building was about to collapse, it was inevitable that the middle and low-level generals would have all kinds of changes.
......
Although Feng Zhou has some understanding of the changes in the center of Luoyang City, he will not rashly use the surrenderers to attack the city.
After all, the opponent's guard is Sima Yi.
Who knows if it's a real surrender or a trick, Feng Zhou is ready to attack the city in his own way.
This method is very immoral.
In the past, he didn't have too many prisoners in his hands, and he was reluctant to harm ordinary people, but now he has 30,000 Wei army prisoners in his hands, all of whom are young and strong, of course, he can't let them eat and drink for nothing.
Three days later, Sima Yi was in the city thinking hard about how to break the enemy, and suddenly sent a message to the soldiers to report that the Han army was preparing to attack the city.
Sima Yi had to lead the crowd to the north gate, and couldn't help but gasp.
On the position of the Han army outside the north gate, 30,000 prisoners of the army were driven to the outside of the Xia Gate by the Han army wielding a leather whip, and each of the Wei prisoners had a sack or a piece of hemp cloth in their hands. The cries of 30,000 captives shook the sky, but the shouting and scolding of the Han army and the sound of leather whips never stopped.
Although they are all Han Chinese, but at this time the military affairs, avoid benevolence and righteousness, the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not financial management, and conquering Luoyang is the first priority, so it is natural to make good use of this group of Wei army prisoners.
"This is to drive the Wei people to attack the city" The generals of the Wei army at the head of the city were all dumbfounded. I was a little caught off guard for a while. Nervous, a general hurriedly asked Sima Yi: "General, what should I do if the Shu people drive my Wei people to fill the siege city, we can't release arrows?"
"Release the arrows!" Sima Yi didn't blink his eyes, and shouted: "If we don't release the arrows with soft hands, then Luoyang City will be finished!"
"But...... But that's my Great Wei people, and I want to come here to be relatives and friends who should be guarded in the city!"
Aribu General said.
What he said is very reasonable, the population of the Great Wei Dynasty is now at most five or six million, and the army inside and outside Luoyang City alone accounts for 1230,000, accounting for one-fifty or sixty-tenth of the total population.
Sima Yi said angrily: "They are our people, but once Luoyang City is broken, not only us and the army and people in the city will be ruined! None of them will be able to escape! Liu Chan said how to deal with everyone, don't you know?"
Liu Chan said that he would not let go of your Sima family, and he did not say that he would not let us go.
Many generals thought in their hearts.
But of course, they didn't dare to say it, so they had to make promises and didn't dare to say more.
Sima Yi ordered loudly: "Order the whole army, prepare the trebuchet, prepare the bow and arrow, and once someone in the city rushes within the range of the trebuchet at three hundred paces, throw it immediately! If it hits within the range of one hundred and twenty steps, immediately release the arrow!"
The generals of the Wei army agreed together, and quickly organized the army to prepare bows and arrows, prepare trebuchets, and prepare rolling wood and stones.
In front of everyone's eyes, 30,000 Wei prisoners were driven by the Han army's leather whips, knives and guns, and slowly walked towards Luoyang City crying......
"Stop!" Just when these prisoners were about to despair, the first Wei prisoner walked to a position three hundred and fifty steps away from Luoyang City with an earthen bag, and the Han generals who were waiting here immediately stopped him from continuing his advance, pointed to the ground and shouted: "Pour the soil here, go back and refill the soil!"
"Just pour the soil here" The Wei prisoners were like being amnestied, they could hardly believe their ears, and quickly poured the soil in the sack under their feet, and happily ran back to reload the soil, and the other Wei prisoners did the same, all of them carried the soil to 350 steps away from the city wall, and then poured out the soil, and then turned back to reload the soil to carry, and no one was forced to walk into the trebuchet range of 300 steps away from the city wall, to be shot to death by the defenders of Luoyang City.
Seeing this scene, the prisoners who thought they were dead were naturally thunderous, thinking that they had escaped, and struggled to carry the soil in order to please the Han army, while Sima Yi and the generals of the Wei army were at a loss on the city wall, and they really didn't know what the Han army was doing.
"Liu Chan is going to build a dirt mountain and attack us condescendingly!" Sima Yi suddenly realized, and he already knew it in his heart.
The generals have been fighting for many years, and they also have the knowledge of leading troops to fight and conquering cities and conquering cities in their hearts, and they quickly understood it at this time.
The Han army is determined to attack from the north side.
At this time, the generals at all levels of the Han army also understood the emperor's tactics, and after deeply admiring the eloquence and strategy of the Han Emperor, everyone performed their duties and worked more energetically.
Three days later, the mountain seemed to be three feet shorter, and outside the Xia Gate of Luoyang's north city gate, there was a three-mile-long earth mountain, and it was already higher than the Luoyang city wall.
Before the Tushan was completely completed, the Han army's trebuchets and Xiliang crossbowmen had already climbed the Tushan, ready to attack Luoyang from a high position.
