Chapter Twenty-Three: The Two Kings Battle Luoyang City
The land of China has once again ushered in the dawn of a new day. The dazzling light of the sun slowly illuminated the heart of Shenzhou, Luoyang City. At this moment, on all sides of Luoyang City, the Jingzhou army continued to set up a continuous camp along the moat, surrounding the three layers of Luoyang City.
In the tent of the Jingzhou camp outside the Xiyang Gate of Luoyang City, Sima Fan, who was just sleeping in a simple clothes, slowly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up from the couch, lifted the futon covered by his body, and slowly walked out of the big tent, looking at Luoyang City with thirteen gates closed in the distance.
A glimmer of dawn shot out from the Luoyang City Tower, reflecting the golden light of the corner tower on the city wall, which was extraordinarily magnificent. Sima Fan's eyes were slightly fascinated, flashing with a fanatical light: "Luoyang City!" You'll be lonely in no time! ”
A general wearing the armor of the Jingzhou army strode to Sima Fan's side and saluted: "Good morning, King Xiangyang." ”
Sima Fan withdrew his gaze from Luoyang City, looked at the person who came, showed a smile on his face, and said softly: "It's victory." How are preparations for the siege? ”
The coming general is Zhao Desheng. This Zhao Desheng was not only born with strong martial arts, excellent martial arts, brave and invincible, but also familiar with the art of war, and was one of the strongest generals in Jingzhou. is also the same age as Sima Fan, the two have similar interests since childhood, and they are Sima Fan's confidants.
Zhao Desheng pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Wang." Because we are besieging the city too quickly. Many of the large siege engines were not yet in place. ”
Sima Fan frowned and said, "Then when will it be able to attack the city?" ”
Zhao Desheng thought for a while and replied: "The siege equipment will arrive in about ten days, and with the assembly, it will take about half a month to attack the city!" ”
Sima Fan was dissatisfied: "Half a month? ”
Zhao Desheng glanced at Sima Fan's slightly ugly face, but still nodded, "Yes." This is a conservative estimate. ”
Sima Fan looked at Luoyang City in the distance, and the fanatical feeling in his heart became even stronger, and he couldn't wait to break through the gate of Luoyang City today and see the splendid palace! Half a month? It's been too long!
Sima Fan's face sank and said, "I can't wait for half a month." Siege the city today! ”
Zhao Desheng hurriedly said: "Lord Wang." Although the strength of the forbidden army is far inferior to our army, but the city of Luoyang is high and the river is wide, and our army is in a hurry to attack, but it is not good! ”
Sima Fan glanced at Zhao Desheng lightly, and said slowly: "Don't you also think that the forbidden army is inferior to our army?" In the past month or so, you have also seen that the group of wastes of the forbidden army has no power to fight back in front of our army. Could it be that just by virtue of Luoyang City, you want to stop us?! Dream! Determination has been made, and in an hour, the siege of the city! Those who enter Luoyang City first will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, and will be given to the marquis! ”
Zhao Desheng looked at Sima Fan's resolute eyes, knowing that Sima Fan was determined to attack the city, so he had to sigh secretly and leave with his head.
In the palace of King Zhao in Luoyang City, Zhao Wanglun was on a high position, and Sun Xiu, Gao Lishi, Guo Xiang, Hong Ren and Wei Qi were all standing at the bottom of the steps.
Sun Xiu arched his hand towards Zhao Wanglun and said, "Lord Wang, the Jingzhou army has moved, and it seems that it is preparing to storm Luoyang City." ”
Zhao Wanglun snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Sima Fan, that yellow-haired boy, is really arrogant. I just hurriedly besieged Luoyang City yesterday, and today I can't wait to attack the city? Hehe, he's underestimating us a little bit, right?! ”
Sun Xiu said with a smile: "Sima Fan is just self-serving, isn't it just beneficial to us?" However, having said that, the combat strength of the Jingzhou army is too amazing, and I am afraid that only two soldiers of the forbidden army will not be able to defeat one. With Luoyang City, he can barely compete with the Jingzhou army. Well...... Rajah. The subordinates have a request, and they ask the prince to agree. ”
Zhao Wanglun nodded and said, "Say it." ”
Sun Xiu glanced at Guo Xiang, Hong Ren and Gao Lishi, and said, "Lord Wang." The subordinates hope that Guo Daochang, Master Hongren and Gao Gonggong can help defend the city together. ”
Hong Ren's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said unhappily: "General Sun, does he want Lao Qu to be a master of the Transformation Realm to fight with those ordinary people who don't have the slightest internal strength?" ”
Sun Xiu smiled: "Hong Ren don't be angry. I'm helpless! Qing Xuanzong suffered heavy losses this time, and a large number of masters in the sect were plotted to death by Sima Ting. Now there are only a few masters in Luoyang City who are present. But there are also many masters in the Jingzhou army, but I am afraid of ......"
When Zhao Wanglun heard Sun Xiu mention this, he was furious, took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice: "Needless to say. Guo Xiang, Hong Ren, Gao Lishi, the three of you can't let go of your body. Sima Fan is menacing, if we accidentally let the Jingzhou army enter Luoyang City, our years of hard work will be in vain. ”
As soon as Zhao Wanglun said this, Guo Xiang, Hongren and Gao Lishi didn't dare to complain anymore, and they all leaned over and nodded yes.
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering killing cry outside the hall, and Zhao Wanglun's face gradually became cold, and he said, "It's here." Hum. Guo Xiang, you go to guard the east, Hong Ren guards the north, and Gao Lishi goes to help Wei Qi guard the south. Lone went to the west with General Sun. Today, not only must Luoyang City be defended well, but Sima Fan also knows that the Jingzhou army is not invincible in the world! Let him know that provoking our Qing Xuanzong is the biggest misfortune in his life! ”
Guo Xiang and the others all shouted murderously.
Outside Luoyang City, the Jingzhou army strode bravely, holding blades, holding ladders, and roaring towards the city walls of Luoyang City. However, the forbidden army was nervously bending their bows and arrows, staring at the Jingzhou army that was getting closer and closer.
When the Jingzhou army rushed to the moat, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the forbidden army, and thousands of arrows were fired in the city, and the two sides were about to fight!
Sima Fan stood on the watchtower at the gate of the camp with his hands in his hands, watching the Jingzhou army attack Luoyang City wave after wave, but he was desperately repelled by the forbidden army on the city wall again and again. The moat of Luoyang City was gradually filled with dead bodies......
On the city wall, Zhao Wanglun's vertical and horizontal figure left a deep impression on him. Many times the Jingzhou army has already climbed the city wall, but it was slaughtered by Zhao Wanglun alone! The figure of the frantic battle...... Overwhelming! It's as if you can defend the entire wall by yourself!
Sima Fan looked at the figure of Zhao Wanglun in Luoyang City from a distance, sighed secretly, waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and said silently: "Retreat." ”
