Chapter 1180: Counting Together

When a strong man appears in one place, a strong man who is strong enough to dominate the world, it is not the four seas that are subdued, but the heroes who rise up together and join forces to fight it.

Just like the Qin State back then, it resisted the Six Kingdoms alone.

With the supremacy of Great Xia in the Huaxia District, the overseas siege of cities and land, the scenery is unlimited, and the momentum of dominating Huaxia is unstoppable, and finally attracts the same fate as the Qin State.

As early as May, the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing, and Zhou, a total of six kingdoms, were faintly united under the matchmaking of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so as to jointly fight against the rise of Great Xia.

With the Great Xia drawing salaries from the Han Cauldron at the bottom, it was even more important to destroy the Great Han as soon as the national war ended, completely exposing the ambition of Great Xia to unify China, and finally let the Six Kingdoms take action.

Gaia's cancellation of the call for the forbidden army gave the dynasties a reassurance.

A loose "anti-Xia coalition" was formed.

In order to promote the alliance of the six countries, Emperor Chen took great pains and did not hesitate to offer a sky-high price.

Among the Six Kingdoms, the Qing Dynasty and the Great Xia already had mutual dislikes, and Emperor Chen didn't bother to win them over. The two dynasties of the Song and Ming dynasties located in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty were the focus of Emperor Chen's wooing.

In order to win the two countries, Emperor Chen did not hesitate to promise to cede Jingchu Province, where Xiangyang is located, to the Great Song Dynasty as a whole; The East China Sea Province, where Jianye is located, was ceded to Daming as a whole.

The condition is that the two major dynasties should bear the heavy responsibility of defending the periphery, so that the Great Zhou can free up their hands and take the opportunity to destroy the Great Jin when the Great Xia attacks the Great Han.

It is even said that Di Chen is still ready to make persistent efforts to win the Han in one fell swoop after winning the Great Jin. Of course, this latter thought, before taking the Great Jin, Emperor Chen will not leak anything to his allies.

It's funny to say, Han Ben was a member of the Six Nations Alliance, and now that his strength was damaged, he was immediately abandoned by Emperor Chen, and instead became the target of the Great Zhou fish.

really responded to that sentence, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." ”

If Emperor Chen's calculations can be realized, then Da Zhou will cede two provinces, gain two more provinces, and win over two allies, and this deal will definitely not be a loss.

As for the northern Xinjiang province, Emperor Chen promised to the Qing Dynasty very "generously".

The joining of Daqin and Datang was more out of scruples, they had no specific deal with Da Zhou, and only promised not to intervene in Da Zhou's war with Da Jin.

Qin Jin's goodness turned into nothing in an instant.

In the face of national interests, the covenant is just a piece of waste paper and does not play any binding role.

Obviously, neither Qin Shi Huang nor Tang Taizong wanted Great Xia to continue to expand in the Huaxia region, constantly squeezing their living space, and raising tigers in the future.

Fortunately, Qin and Tang still remembered the kindness of Great Xia at the beginning, and only promised not to send troops to reinforce Great Jin, but they would never confront Great Xia head-on.

As for how to circumvent the restrictions on the use of troops by the dynasties on the initiative of the dynasties, Emperor Chen had his own way.

…………

On July 7, Han Xin led his troops, and after successively taking two passes north of Luoyang, he successfully approached the city of Luoyang. In just one week, two levels have been broken in a row, which shows the god of Han Xin's soldiers.

The love between Han Xin and the Han has disappeared in history.

As the world's first-class male city, Luoyang City's defense is strong, naturally there is no doubt, this battle, is also the first time that the lord of Huaxia District attacked the royal city.

If this battle is won, Han Xin will be famous all over the world; If defeated, it will be discredited.

In view of this, Han Xin did not dare to slack off at all, and it seemed that he was marching all the way, but in fact, he left strongholds along the way, and he must maintain the safety of the grain route. When the army arrived outside the city, it also set up camp in order.

Before the camp was repaired, Han Xin had no plans to attack the city.

As early as when the forbidden army was transferred, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty realized the crisis and immediately ordered the general Wei Qing to transfer all the forbidden troops scattered in the territory of the dynasty back to Luoyang.

With only 200,000 forbidden troops, it is impossible to hold the territory of Nuoda in the Central Plains Province, and instead of being broken by the enemy, it is better to join forces and fight to the death, and maybe there will be a turnaround.

On the contrary, as a strong city in the world, Luoyang not only has a stable city defense, but also has sufficient grain and grass, and there is no problem at all if it holds on for more than a month.

Approaching the end of the national war, seeing that the Great Xia was fierce, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even ordered the people of Luoyang to disperse on their own and take refuge in the surrounding counties and counties, so as not to consume Luoyang's grain and grass.

With the temperament of the Great Xia army, it is safer for the people to go out of the city.

In this way, if Great Xia can't capture Luoyang immediately, just in terms of grain and grass reserves, Luoyang City will have no problem holding out for two or three months. For such a long time, anything can happen.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still underestimated Great Xia.

In the following week, the battlefield in Luoyang was calm, and the Great Xia army had no intention of attacking the city.

A large amount of grain and grass was continuously transported to the front line to solve the worries of the army.

Han Xin is not a pedantic person, although he does not hurt the people, but grain and grass must also be collected. According to Han Xin's judgment, the battle of Luoyang is bound to be protracted, and grain and grass are the lifeblood of the whole army.

With such a vein, naturally it can't all be handed over to Dajin.

In addition to waiting for food and grass, Han Xin is also waiting for a batch of secret weapons to arrive at the front line. It has been a long time since the P1 gun was introduced, and the Industrial Development Department has made new progress and developed the second generation of artillery.

Compared with the P1 artillery, strictly speaking, the P2 gun is more cumbersome, and correspondingly, the power and range of the gun are not comparable to the P1 artillery, which is a sharp weapon specially developed by the Industry Department for siege of the city.

It can be described as a great power.

In order to promote the industrialization process of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Xia Industrial Administration also built two arsenals in the Great Jin Dynasty in order to make use of the abundant coal and iron ore resources of Hedong Province nearby.

Unexpectedly, these two arsenals became a key role in the Battle of Luoyang.

As early as a month ago, the two arsenals were working around the clock to produce P2 guns, which were then hoarded for use in the Battle of Luoyang.

After the all-round promotion of industrialization in Daxia, the problem of artillery transportation was basically solved, and the steel frame was the bone, coupled with rubber tires, which could make the heavy P2 artillery cross the mountains and reach the front line.

Han Xin and others are these key weapons and equipment.

A heroic city like Luoyang, if it relies on crowd tactics, I am afraid that no matter how many people can't fill it, it will just be sent to death in vain.

The only way is to use artillery to forcibly collapse the city walls and fight inside the city.

On 15 July, 200 P2 guns finally arrived at the front.

Han Xin did not hesitate, and the next day he led his troops out of the camp and officially launched an attack on Luoyang City. The attack was simple, that is, around the P2 gun.

Two hundred artillery pieces were pushed to the front line and, under the protection of the army, launched an attack on the northern wall of Luoyang.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The cannonball cut through the graceful arc, like a meteor, and smashed into the city wall, and as soon as it collided, it made an earth-shattering explosion, and a single cannonball stirred up pieces of stone chips on the solid city wall.

"Good!"

Han Xin saw this, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The P2 artillery is really a siege weapon, even if the Luoyang city wall is dozens of meters thick, it can't withstand repeated bombardment, if it is not disturbed, it can collapse a city wall in just two days.

"Be on guard!"

Han Xin was not carried away by the victory, at this time, the most worried thing was that the Han army took the initiative to go out of the city, in order to destroy the artillery, which was also the only way for the enemy to crack it.

With Han Xin's experience, how could he not guard against this hand.

And that's exactly what happened.

At the head of the city, seeing that the Great Xia Army, which had been calm for a week, suddenly came out of the camp, Wei Qing, who had been staying in the city tower, realized that something was wrong and ordered the whole army to be on alert.

When the two hundred artillery pieces were pushed out by the enemy, Wei Qing was even more pimpled in his heart.

The Han Dynasty in the wilderness of reality, its scientific and technological level will naturally not stay in the Han Dynasty in history, in that case, how can it be competitive.

Luoyang City is also densely arranged with artillery, but it is the original version.

What made Wei Qing uneasy was that the enemy artillery had not yet reached the range of the artillery at the head of the city, so they stopped one by one and began to reload. Obviously, the range of enemy artillery far exceeds that of large Han artillery.

Waiting for the artillery to fire a salvo, Wei Qing's face was even more solemn.

As a god general on the same level as Han Xin, Wei Qing naturally made the same judgment as Han Xin, knowing that if he didn't take immediate action to destroy the enemy's artillery, Luoyang City would definitely not be able to hold it.

"Order, let the First Division of the First Army prepare!"

As soon as he came up, Wei Qing sent ace cavalry. With the limited width of the city gates, sending a cavalry division is already the limit, and any more, just the time for the cavalry to pass through the city gates may allow the enemy to take advantage of the loopholes.

One is not good, without the enemy to knock down the city walls, it is possible to take the opportunity to occupy the city gates.

Wei Qing naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.

Just with just one cavalry division, can Wei Qing's intentions be realized? No one can say well.
