Chapter 16: The Destruction of the City

Luoyang City, above the north gate.

Looking at the army of nearly 60,000 gathered outside the north gate, among which there was the shadow of the already famous Blood Wolf Army, Wang Shichong couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"General Yang is really clever," Wang Shichong sincerely praised a veteran general beside him, this person is the pillar of the military boundary of Luoyang City, Yang Gongqing

Luoyang City has been able to resist Li Mi for many years, and Yang Gongqing has made great contributions.

"It's not yet the end, and Lu Bu hasn't appeared yet, so it's not yet known whether our army can inflict heavy losses on this enemy army, so don't be careless." Yang Gongqing shook his head, and glanced at the boundless forest under the city, the entire southern gate periphery of the Lu Bu army, these are half of all the troops brought by Lu Bu this time, once it is hit hard, Lu Bu will not have the ability to continue to besiege Luoyang, and the problem of water sources in the city will be solved.

"General Yang is too worried, then Lu Bu is just a reckless man, how can he see through the general's clever plan." Wang Shichong smiled indifferently.

"Reckless?" Yang Gongqing glanced at Wang Shichong and was silent, a reckless man, can he defeat Li Mi and Li Tang's army in a row? He had learned Li Mi's strength before, and the performance of Lu Bu's army yesterday, although it was just a trial, but it was also offensive and defensive, Yang Gongqing had always wanted to tempt Lu Bu to attack the city with all his might, but he did not achieve the expected goal, is this a reckless man who can do it? If it's luck, it's too lucky.

However, Yang Gongqing didn't say anything in the end, since this matter was finally decided by Wang Shichong, and it had nothing to do with him, if it was him, he would definitely not block the victory or defeat of the normal battle here, it was too hasty. ,

A small group of troops quickly set out from the south gate, around the direction of the southeast gate, and now hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside Luoyang City are facing each other, and the movement of this small army has not aroused the vigilance of the defenders.

According to Lu Bu's troop deployment, most of the large counties are now distributed in the north gate, and only a small part of the other gates are left behind to prevent the defenders from taking the opportunity to sneak out of the city to attack.

Luo Cheng took two thousand blood wolf guards to the southeast gate, if Shen Luoyan's plan is correct, then the southeast gate is the weakest place, with the attack power of the blood wolf guard, although there are only two thousand, but its attack power is more terrifying than the blood wolf army

Time has passed, the battle of the North Gate has been fought in an orderly manner, Lu Bu seems to have recognized the North Gate today, the offensive is extremely fierce, there seems to be a tendency to break through the North Gate, and Wang Shichong has also been prepared, bent on consuming Lu Bu's military strength at the North Gate.

At the beginning of the battle, the remaining one hundred and ninety giant crossbows were moved to the city, and roared at Lu Bu Dajun, the attack power generated by two hundred giant crossbows was very terrifying, each crossbow arrow could penetrate at least three warriors wearing armor, and at the north gate, all the elites in Wang Shichong's hands were gathered, and Lu Bu launched several fierce attacks, but they were repelled by the other party with the cooperation of the giant crossbow.

Although Lu Bu here, there are also catapults to suppress, but compared to the giant crossbow, the catapult is not as powerful as the giant crossbow in terms of accuracy and design speed, yesterday Yang Gongqing deliberately forbeared, the giant crossbow at the south gate is more of a deterrent, today this giant crossbow was launched, but let Lu Bujun suffer.

"Hmph, Wang Shichong's abacus is really loud" Lu Bu looked at those roaring giant crossbows, and couldn't help sneering, if it weren't for Shen Luoyan's reminder, maybe he would have really been calculated, and Wang Shichong would be here to a death.

According to Yang Gongqing's plan, the battle at the north gate will be very crazy, and even moved the north gate overnight last night, and sent people out from time to time to kill, so that Lu Bu could not retreat, and even if Lu Bu wanted to rush up and split the city gate with a halberd, it was unlikely that even if the city gate was split, the rear soldiers would come in and face endless rain of arrows.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, I think it's time for General Luo to do it," Shen Luoyan said with a smile.

Outside the southeast gate, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared, the number was not large, but they carried hundreds of ladders, which immediately attracted the attention of the generals defending the city.

"What do these people want to do?" The guard looked at Luo Cheng and his party, outside the southeast gate, there were only about 5,000 people, with this bit of men, did they still want to attack the city? The guard looked at these people in bewilderment.

Luo Cheng Leng Jun did not have a trace of expression on his face, his cold eyes looked at the defenders at the head of Luoyang City, and a touch of coldness flashed to the bone, today he did not ride a horse, but chose to fight on foot, after all, he did not have the ability of Lu Bu, he could break through the city gate with one move.

"Kill~" The bright cold spear flashed a touch of cold in the wind, Luo Cheng suddenly shouted angrily, and the leaders of the Blood Wolf Guard, who had already known the plan, immediately took their Blood Wolf Guards and followed closely behind Luo Cheng, rushing towards the Luoyang City Gate.

"Do you really want to attack the city?" The guard showed an unbelievable glow, and then said sharply: "Giant crossbow, prepare"

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

Fifty giant crossbows roared almost at the same time, and the specially made thick arrows roared towards the blood wolf guard under the city, and the guard could almost think of the scene of the giant arrow entering his body and blood bursting out, but the next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Two thousand soldiers, almost at the same time, suddenly dispersed, and the distance between the two soldiers was at least three or four meters, and in such a formation, the effect of crossbow arrows was limited to a minimum.

What's even more terrifying is that the two of them rushed over with a ten-zhang ladder, and the speed was faster than the average soldier who ran without anything

"Good speed" The guard also found that these people were running too fast, and the giant crossbow only shot a round, and the other party was already about to rush to the city

"Puffy puff~"

Almost at the moment when the guards were stunned, dozens of ladders had been firmly erected on the city wall, and a section of the ladder was a hook made of solid steel, hooked on the city wall, and the defenders could not move it away for a while.

"Quick, throw the stone down" Seeing that he couldn't knock down the ladder for a while, the guard hurriedly commanded his soldiers to move up the stone that had been prepared by the city wall, and didn't look closely, and threw it directly down the ladder.

A blood wolf guard was climbing, and suddenly felt a gust of wind surging overhead, and the steel knife that bit his mouth instantly grabbed it in his hand, and picked it up, and the huge stone was directly picked open by him, but five or six stones were smashed down in succession, even if it was the blood wolf guard's skill, he began to struggle, and the arrows shot around, one accidentally, an arrow was inserted into his arm, the arm couldn't help but tremble, and his head was directly smashed open by a stone.

The Blood Wolf Guard below indifferently pushed the corpse in front of him away, and continued to climb rapidly, as the most elite unit under Lu Bu's command, every Blood Wolf Guard not only has a good cultivation, but also is accustomed to seeing life and death, and has become numb to death.

Although the guards fiercely used all means to attack the Blood Wolf Guard, the Blood Wolf Guard's advance speed did not slow down in the slightest, looking at the Blood Wolf Guard who was about to climb the top of the city, the guard was horrified: What kind of people are these

"Whew~"

Suddenly it was dark in front of him, and a figure had risen from outside the city wall, and landed steadily at the head of the city.

"Death" Luo Cheng's cold voice made the guard's heart fall to the bottom in an instant, and suddenly shouted angrily, swinging the knife at Luo Cheng, a flash of silver light flashed in front of him, and the throat was numb, the guard suddenly found in horror that his breathing became difficult, and the strength of his whole body continued to swell to his throat, and then dissipated without a trace.

His eyes widened in horror, and a burst of "hoho~" notes came out of his throat, but he couldn't spit out half a word.

"Puff~" The corpse of the guard fell to the ground weakly, but the surrounding defenders did not flinch, and rushed towards Luo Cheng frantically, Luo Cheng sneered, and the silver spear rolled up, and countless blood flowers rolled up in an instant.

There were constantly blood wolf guards rushing to the city, joining the battle, and soon occupied a section of the city wall under the leadership of Luo Cheng, and the defenders fought back frantically, trying to drive them down, but the blood wolf guards not only did not decrease, but more and more, gradually, the defenders could not resist and began to rout.

"Huh~" A ringing arrow rose in Luo Cheng's hand and exploded in the air, lighting up with a burst of brilliant brilliance.

"Kill~"

In the two sections of the southeast gate, the 10,000 blood wolf army and the 20,000 army that had been prepared suddenly rushed out, and a cloud ladder was placed on the unguarded city wall, and the blood wolf army quickly controlled the entire southeast gate.

"Quick, move these things away" Luo Cheng quickly commanded the blood wolf army to clean up the sandbags and some debris blocked at the city gate, open the city gate, and let more Lu Bu's army enter the city, and the swarming army quickly occupied the city walls, Luo Cheng handed over the matter here to the deputy general, and rushed to the north gate with the blood wolf guard and 10,000 blood wolf army.

"Newspaper~"

A Luoyang defender crawled to the north gate in embarrassment, and said miserably to Wang Shichong: "My lord, the big thing is not good, Luo Cheng suddenly led a group of men and horses to rush in, and now he is fighting with our army on the city wall, our army is already in danger, please send troops to support as soon as possible."

The poignant voice made everyone's faces, including Wang Shichong, change greatly, Yang Gongqing sighed, the last thing that happened still happened, Wang Shichong did not hesitate to mobilize most of the defenders of Luoyang in order to consume Lu Bu's army in one fell swoop, and the other gates were guarded, except for the south gate, were relatively empty.

From the southeast gate to the north gate, at the speed of these ordinary soldiers, it would take a quarter of an hour to say the least, and this time was enough for many things to happen.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wang Shichong, now that Luoyang has been cut off from the water source, one more day of delay, one more day of danger, so Wang Shichong can't wait to put down the war as soon as possible, but in this way, it is easier to leave flaws, Lu Bu does not need to be in a hurry at all, even if Lu Bu can't think of it, the strategists around him are not fuel-efficient lamps, how can he not be reminded.
