Li Yuan nodded and said, "What Xiao Gong said makes sense, if you do this, it is the foundation of the Qin State to unify the world." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info That's it, filial piety obeys! ”

Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and knelt down to salute: "Weichen listens to the order." ”

"I will appoint you as the governor of Xinzhou, take my handwritten letter to the south of Bashu Jiejiabao, and negotiate the situation of Bashu with Jiehui."

"Yes!"

After Li Xiaogong sat down again, Li Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "Yuan Ji, your task is to guard Tongguan well, and at the same time try not to conflict with the east, what we lack at present is time!" When there is enough time, then break Ye Ke! ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again and said: "My Li valve is one of the four major valves today, and now there is no successor to the Dugu valve, Yuwen valve is about to be attacked by Luoyang and Li Mi and decline, and Song valve is trapped in Lingnan, and now only I Li valve is in the sky." ”

"But I never expected that this Ye Ke would be so good, everyone gritted their teeth, endured it for the time being, and did not conflict with Ye Ke to avoid causing damage!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed down in unison and said sadly.

At this time, Li Valve was very sober, knowing that under the current situation, he must not have a head-on conflict with Ye Ke, and even if he encounters grievances in the future, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it himself, otherwise, how to face Ye Ke's iron fist and the edge of Xia Jun's elite horse? The world has always respected the strong, and knowing that they are not as good as others for the time being, they can only lie on their salaries and taste their courage and endure humiliation.

…………

Under the city of Luoyang, the camp of the Xia army.

"Xia Gong, now my Xia army has 30,000 iron cavalry, and 70,000 infantry have been in Luoyang City for seven days" General Li Jing said to Ye Ke: "The soldiers have been corrected, and the fighting spirit is high, whether it is grain and grass or siege equipment, it has been continuously transported to the city with the canal, the so-called everything is ready, just wait for Xia Gong's order, we can attack the city." ”

Liu Heimin, the commander of the Su Guards, said: "My lord, in the past few days, the monastery outside Luoyang City, which has had a close relationship with the Jingnian Monastery, has been cleaned up by our army, beheaded 7,000 people, and obtained countless military resources. ”

Xu Shiji stepped forward and said: "According to the intelligence, Li Mi and Yu Wenhua are both standing still, waiting for the situation to change, and our army will attack the city, and there is no worries. ”

Gao Shiqi, who was in charge of leading the way, also said: "The last general will be stationed in Yanshi, and he will not dare to take it lightly, and ensure that Li Mi and Yu Wenhua will be firmly targeted." ”

Ye Ke nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then according to the requirements of the drill code, five thousand trebuchets will be installed densely, and I still don't believe that Luoyang City will be smashed!" ”

On the second day, one by one the trebuchets were transported to the prepared position, densely packed, but there were neatly arranged there, from a high place, it was really magnificent.

"Thousands of trebuchets firing stones together?" On the city wall, Wang Shichong was inexplicably frightened, and his eyes were round. "I heard that Ye Ke attacked Youzhou like this, and smashed the city wall alive, won't he come back to this set?"

"My subordinates don't look like it." Yang Gongqing shook his head, "With the strength of the Xia army, it is not difficult to assemble thousands of trebuchets, but more than a thousand trebuchets launch the required stones together, which is definitely a number that can make people's scalps tingle just thinking about it." ”

"The time it takes for a trebuchet to launch once is about twenty to thirty breaths, that is, a trebuchet can launch nearly a thousand stones in a day and a night, and a thousand is a million.

Luoyang is located in the plains, where to find so many stones? I'm afraid it's not enough to hollow out the entire Beibi Mountain! ”

Wang Shichong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good!" ”

But he was still uneasy in his heart, you must know that he had been fighting with Li Mi for a long time, in fact, his strength had become the end of the crossbow, and the territory he Wang Shichong had mastered was almost a lonely city in Luoyang.

If Ye Ke really captured Luoyang in a battle, then he would die without a place to be buried.

The summer army camp, Ye Ke's commander's big tent.

There are only a few people in it, except for Ye Ke, they are Li Jing, Liu Heimin and Xu Shiji, and the three of them are the most confidant forces under Ye Ke.

At this time, the three of them sat in groups, watching Ye Ke draw a siege diagram on paper.

After Ye Ke introduced them, he continued: "Generals, we have already determined the location of the trebuchet, and it is in the northeast corner of the city, what questions do you have?" ”

Li Jing stared at the picture and muttered for a long time: "Xia Gong, the last general wants to ask, how to ensure that the trebuchet behind can also throw stones on the city wall?" ”

Ye Ke smiled, it is true, five thousand trebuchets set up a formation, it is a large area, even after his careful arrangement, the attack position is arranged in the northeast corner of the city, making full use of the terrain, attacking a corner from three sides, but the farthest trebuchet is nearly eight hundred steps away from the siege, and ordinary trebuchets can fight so far.

"The pharmacist can rest assured, this is the trebuchet designed by the craftsmen of Leshou City, and it is not a stone block, but a hollow pottery, which is equipped with a fire starter, which is light in weight and can hit far." Ye Ke took a fist-sized clay pot from the side and sent it to Li Jing: "This kind of pottery will shatter after it lands, and the enemy can no longer use it, and the ignition in it can spontaneously combust." ”

"Well, good stuff, good stuff." Li Jing was overjoyed in his heart and patted his thigh: "Lord, with such a sharp weapon, the last general will guarantee that within three days, Luoyang will be Keluo!" ”

Ye Ke laughed: "With you General Li in command, Commander Xu is full of wit, and Commander Liu has been on the battlefield for a long time, what else do I have to worry about?" So I just need to do your logistics, make sure you eat and sleep well, and when the time comes, when the army is attacking the city and fighting, I will come forward! ”

Li Jing hurriedly said: "Duke Xia, you are the lord, in case you ......"

Ye Ke waved his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Pharmacist, if the two armies clash in front of the formation, no one in the world can stop me!" ”

He spoke with a strong sense of confidence, and everyone admired him when he saw it.

Wang Shichong of Luoyang City did not think that the Xia army could launch 5,000 trebuchets at the same time, first, so many trebuchets were placed on a limited position, and the trebuchets behind were too far away from the city wall, and they might exceed the range, and the fundamental method would hit the city wall; The second is that so many trebuchets need a large number of stones, and in just a few days, Xia Jun can't get so many stones.

But the truth was beyond his cognition, Ye Ke used thousands of wise craftsmen behind him to solve these two problems very well, that is, to replace solid stones with hollow clay pots. It was easily thrown into Wancheng from four or five hundred steps away, but the ignition inside could play a role in incineration, burning the protective measures prepared by the defenders of Luoyang.

And the more than 1,000 trebuchets under Youzhou City can't be compared with the battle scene of 5,000 trebuchets, it's just a small thing, the scene is absolutely thrilling, and anyone present will never forget.

Therefore, when Ye Ke gave the order to siege the city, stones and clay pots poured into the city like hail, and after those clay pots were broken, they suddenly burst into flames, which completely stunned the defenders of Luoyang and broke Wang Shichong's confidence.

Three days later, Huangtai, Wang Shichong, Duan Da, Yuan Wendu and others tied their hands and surrendered to Ye Ke.

Luoyang City is in the hands of Ye Ke.

The heroes of all parties who received the news lost their voices in an instant.

Ye Ke's strength once again shocked the whole world.
