906 - On Fire
When Kong Xiao went to the city, he saw Liu Zheng chasing and killing the soldiers, and immediately roared, danced the mace, and took Liu Zheng directly.
The latter saw that Kong Xiao was in a hurry, and raised his big knife to meet him between gritting his teeth.
This one, the mace is solved in a thousand ways, and that one, the phoenix-beaked knife is full of tigers.
The two of you went back and forth, fighting in the city for more than 80 rounds, Kong Xiao saw the opportunity and knocked on Liu Zheng's heart guard with a stick.
This time, Liu Zheng was beaten upside down and fell to the ground, spitting blood.
If it weren't for his lieutenant's desperate rescue, I'm afraid he would have died under Kong Xiao's mace.
With Liu Zheng's defeat, the morale of the defenders in the city was repeatedly low, so much so that the eastern city wall was already in danger as soon as the battle reached the evening.
In the end, Liu Zheng had no choice, so he prepared hot oil and sulfur to set fire to the city, forcing the siege army back.
When night fell, the two sides stopped fighting.
When Kong Xiao returned to the camp, he kept muttering and complaining: "This Liu Zhengxin is really ruthless, and there are still a lot of his own people in the city." He even said that if he set it on fire, he would set it on fire, damn it. ”
Yao Yu had a smile on his face: "So what, after this battle, it can be clearly seen that the morale of the defenders in the city has fallen to the bottom. If you want to break the city, it's only two or three days. Ladies and gentlemen, have a good rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, give me a break through Luoyang. ”
When the generals heard this, they were all excited: "Yes, Your Highness!" ”
After everyone went, Zhuge Yu, Sun Yi and the others hadn't left, Yao Yu saw it and asked what was wrong.
Several strategists had a sad look on their faces, and when they saw Yao Yu asking, they replied frankly: "Your Highness, Shi Le has commanded the army for twelve years, and even if his soldiers are new soldiers, it will not be so bad that their morale will drop so much, we are worried that Luoyang City is not so easy to take." ”
Yao Yu snorted: "Indeed, it can be seen from Liu Zheng's reaction today. As a general under Shi Le, he doesn't need to say anything about his mind or loyalty. He will definitely defend Luoyang. And, after today's battle, he will definitely find a way to boost morale tonight. Suppress the people of the city who responded to us. Tomorrow, we will most likely face a fortified city with renewed morale and no reinforcements to support. ”
The strategists sighed, and said with embarrassment on their faces: "In that case, wouldn't we use our flesh and blood to smash Luoyang City?" The ten-day period is now only eight days, and if Shile reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to take Luoyang again. ”
Yao Yu thought about it and shook his head: "No, you are wrong. Shile's reinforcements arrived. It's not that it's difficult for us to take Luoyang, it's definitely that we can't take it. Therefore, we must take Luoyang before the reinforcements arrive. In other words, in these eight days, we must stand at the head of Luoyang City. Of course, after deducting the time to repair and arm after taking Luoyang, we will be left with a maximum of five days. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were miserable, five days, this is not enough at all, okay?
Yao Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw everyone like this: "What are you doing, you think five days is a bit too much?" Well, take Luoyang in three days, three days. ”
Wen Xuxin said that you are kidding, if you are like this every day and today, it will not be a problem to take Luoyang in three days.
In case Liu Zheng pulls up his morale, let alone three days, he can't take it for thirty days.
But Yao Yu had a confident expression on his face, and he didn't dare to say anything else.
There is no choice but to believe in Yao Yu and hope to take Luoyang within three days.
Thinking like this, the strategists sighed and went down to rest.
The strategists went, but Yao Yuke didn't have any intention of resting, he called Yang En, E, Xi Dawu and others, and said after explaining in his ear: "Three days later, can you raise fire in the city and take Luoyang in one fell swoop?" ”
In the past few years of living in Jiangdong, Ezhi has been able to communicate in Chinese completely, and when he heard Yao Yu's words, he grinned: "Your Highness, rest assured, within three days, Luoyang will definitely be taken." ”
Yao Yu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for your good news." ”
"Yes!"
After a few people left, Yao Yu was thinking about the follow-up matters after taking Luoyang City with his hands behind his back, and was thinking about it, when suddenly, he felt a tumbling in his chest, his Adam's apple surging, and a fishy smell rushed to the tip of his nose.
Yao Yu sighed and forcibly endured, but blood still flowed from between his teeth.
It's broken, Ziyang Zhenren's spell has been fulfilled.
Lu Bihexiong noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord (lord), what's wrong with you?" ”
Yao Yu waved his hand, and after forcibly swallowing the blood in his throat, he wiped the blood from the tip of his nose with his sleeve: "It's okay, it's on fire." ”
After saying that, Yao Yu took a deep breath, tried to stand firm and not faint, and said to the two: "It's not early, you guys should also go and rest." ”
The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel that Yao Yu is wrong, no, after hesitating for a moment, he hugged his fists and left, saying that he was leaving, but the two of them did not stay away from the Zhongjun tent half a step.
After the two of them went, Yao Yu couldn't hold on any longer, sat on the ground, gasping for breath, retching for a while, pulled over the spittoon, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
It was blood-red and black, and it smelled terrible.
After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Yao Yu felt much better.
This curse of Ziyang Zhenren is really powerful.
However, even if he fights back, he still wants to take Luoyang City. If there is no support from this merit, he will be crowned emperor, and his name will not be right.
Thinking of this, Yao Yu clenched his fists hard, then stood up, staggered back to the bed, and fell headlong, unconscious.
When Yao Yu woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day. Lu Bi squatted on the side of the bed, shaking his arms gently, one by one.
"Lord, wake up, wake up."
Yao Yu opened his eyes blankly, after a night of repairing last night, he is in much better condition now, but his face is a little pale.
"Ah, it's so late, what time is it?"
"Back to the lord, it's time now."
Yao Yu was stunned when he heard this: "It's so late? Did you start the siege? ”
"No, everyone is waiting for your orders."
When Yao Yu heard this, he didn't care much, turned over and sat up, came to the house barefoot, and ordered the generals to start attacking the city.
Everyone was very puzzled when they saw Yao Yu like this, because under normal circumstances, Yao Yu had never gotten up so late.
What's going on here.
I couldn't figure it out, so everyone put aside their doubts and began to attack the city.
Just like Yao Yu said yesterday, Liu Zheng went back last night, moved out all the gold and silver in the city, and promised to boost the morale of the soldiers with heavy profits.
One night, all the soldiers screamed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Even Wang Xuance led the death squad, but he failed to take a step to the top of the city.
After all, Luoyang City is not an ordinary county seat.
