Chapter 255: The Yin Sect's Intent
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ...”
The sound of earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded on all sides of Luoyang at the same time, and the coalition forces launched an attack almost at the same time, and countless coalition soldiers rushed to the city wall under the urging of war drums.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The defenders on the city wall shot arrows under the command of the officers and rained down, and the dense coalition troops instantly overturned a large area on their horses, but more soldiers rushed to the city wall across the corpses of their comrades, many soldiers carried ladders dozens of meters long to rush to the city wall, and the ladders were erected on the city wall, and immediately some soldiers quickly climbed up with their teeth and swords with their hands.
"Put the wood, pour the gold juice!"
Thick wooden pillars were thrown down from the city wall, and as long as they hit it, there was a scream, and a long ladder was crawling with soldiers, and they were all smashed down by the wood, just like a meat skewer all down.
Pots of foul-smelling dung water poured down from the city walls, and the Allied soldiers below were in agony, and the unpleasant stench permeated below.
The biggest injury of fecal water is not to hurt people, nor to disgusting people, but to be drenched by fecal water, as long as there is a little wound on the body, it will immediately become tetanus inflamed.
It is easier to defend the city than to attack the city, and someone on the city wall has already prepared a hook to hook the top of the ladder to support it, and push the ladder backwards, one by one the ladders are pushed backwards, and a string of soldiers who climbed on it also falls.
Ye Chen stood on top of the city tower, expressionless as he watched the boundless army below flock to Luoyang City like a tide, and Luoyang City was like a reef that had not changed for thousands of years to smash the waves that came in, although the battle was fierce, but Luoyang City was still as stable as a rock, as long as the morale of the defenders in the city could be stabilized, it was purely a dream for the coalition forces to capture Luoyang City, and it was impossible to capture it in at least two or three months.
Until the end of the first wave of sieges, the coalition forces did not even touch the city.
After eating in the afternoon, the second wave of siege continued, until in the evening, when a large pile of bonfires burned under the city, and the coalition army actually began the third wave of siege in the evening.
It's just that the result is not the same, and it is not captured, although occasionally soldiers attack the city, but they are immediately pressed down.
Then the coalition forces began a continuous siege of the city, relying on the large number of soldiers to divide the troops into two parts, and the onslaught continued day and night.
Ye Chen also adjusted his tactical target, dividing the defenders into several parts and taking turns to defend. It is easier to defend the city than to attack the city, there are eighty or ninety thousand defenders in Luoyang City, if you add the private army of the ministers and the family can organize tens of thousands, and at the same time, when Luoyang City was besieged, Yang Guang began to organize the young and strong in the city, and has initially organized fifty or sixty thousand, and the total number of defenders adds up to more than 150,000, which is enough to hold on.
On the second day, the third day, and until the sixth day, the coalition forces failed to break through Luoyang City, and at most they reached the head of the city, but in the end they were still suppressed.
Six days of siege, Luoyang City defenders killed and wounded nearly 10,000, but the coalition army suffered even more damage, more than 30,000 soldiers died in the city, huge losses even the coalition army can not bear, soon they changed their plan, began to use a variety of tactics, such as digging a hole from outside the city to dig a hole into the city.
It's a pity that these are still recognized, Ye Chen has experienced no less than a hundred siege battles in the Condor World, and he has never seen any tactics, so he has already placed many large vats filled with water at the edge of the city wall to listen to the movement underground, and once he senses that someone is digging a tunnel, he will immediately respond.
The siege battle lasted until the thirteenth day, Ye Chen was standing at the head of the city, and from time to time an arrow hit him and was bounced away, this scene made the soldiers defending the city see that their morale was even stronger.
Suddenly, a herald came from inside the city, got down on one knee behind him, and said loudly:
"Report to the general, General Duguba in the south of the city died in battle."
"Hmm!"
Ye Chen turned his head, the killing intent accumulated by countless killings couldn't help but lower his head and didn't dare to look directly, he frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
The herald swallowed to calm himself and said......
An hour ago, on the southern city wall of Luoyang City, Dugu Ba was supervising the battle as usual as the commander of the southern city wall, this position is the embodiment of Dugu's influence, originally the commander of this city wall was not him at the beginning, but with Yang Guang being killed, the commander was replaced by him through a series of operations, and the original commander became the deputy commander.
Such a situation is not only here, but reflected in all aspects of Luoyang City, Dugu Feng immediately contacted a large number of ministers and generals in Luoyang City after receiving the support of Old Taijun You, and at the same time passed the news out of Luoyang City through special methods in the valve.
It's just that Dugu Ba had some doubts in his heart at this time, because they found that in addition to Dugu Valve in Luoyang City, there was also a powerful force competing with Dugu Valve.
Yes, when contacting other ministers and generals, they found that there was still a powerful force in Luoyang City, which had already attracted a considerable number of ministers and generals, although it was not as strong as the Dugu Valve, but it was also a big threat.
At first, they suspected that Ye Chen was doing it, and they were really flustered at the time, but later they found out that it was not, but... It seems to be a force from the Yin Sect of the Western Sect of the Demon Gate.
The Demon Gate Xizong led by the Yin Sect has always supported the Dugu Valve of the Sui Dynasty, but they have always been very low-key, so that the Dugu Valve does not know their specific strength, and it is not clear how many people they have attracted now, only that there are quite a few people.
So Dugu Valve immediately listed the Demon Gate Xizong as the biggest competitor, and accelerated the attraction of the remaining ministers and generals in the court, especially Ye Chen, if it wasn't for the fierce battle situation now, the old lady would have talked to him a long time ago.
Dugu Ba is not too worried, although the Demon Gate is strong, but their power has always been in the rivers and lakes, in the court and the army is not comparable to Dugu Valve at all, now it is certain that the strength has an absolute advantage over Dugu Valve, just wait for the repulsion of the coalition army Luoyang City crisis to be lifted, and then get Ye Chen's support, they can immediately force back the Demon Gate, and replace the Yang family as the new master of the court in one fell swoop.
Today's siege battle is the same as in the past, Luoyang City, as the ancient capital of several dynasties, has always been a strong city, and it is not easy to capture it, so even if the coalition forces attack the city again this time, he is not a little worried, and snatches the thick drum hammer from the hands of the drum wrestlers on the side of the city tower and beats the drum vigorously to boost the morale of his soldiers.
Wave after wave of coalition troops attacked the city along the ladder and tore apart the defenders, and the coalition forces were driven down the city under the absolute numerical superiority of the defenders.
Soon another wave of coalition troops attacked the city, and four or five coalition soldiers came to kill him, Dugu Ba laughed and shoved the drum into the hands of the wrestlers on the side, and slashed it with a choked knife.
