Half a month later, the moat of Luoyang City was filled in for a large part.

After the cannon roared for a long time, behind the wall of the Tang army camp, the clothes and armor rattled, and the infantry slowly moved forward and passed through the siege fortifications.

In front of the crowd, a group of cavalry rushed over, and people quickly recognized that the emperor of the Tang State was sitting on a big horse in the middle.

Wang Rong Lema slowed down, looked back at the tall and thick city wall, the bricks of the wall were full of holes, and the female wall above collapsed, but the city wall was still standing. It is impossible to smash through a twenty or thirty meter thick earthen wall with a projectile stone alone. In the end, you have to use people to charge and attack, until you exhaust the fighting spirit of the defenders, and there is no other way.

Wang Rong looked at the men in front of him with some sadness, and looked over their wind-blown faces in turn. He couldn't help but say, "Our ancestors cut down thorns and thorns before we had a place to cultivate. Our fathers and ancestors settled down in this homeland, fighting for survival and face. I hope that the blood of the soldiers can protect the peace of the family and the country and the people!"

The soldiers looked at Wang Rong as if they were gods, and at this time, some people knelt on the ground in emotion, and many people knelt down and shouted long live.

After a while, the big drums on the camp in the rear were beating. One of the generals drew his sword and shouted, "Brothers, for Your Majesty's forerunner, long live my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

For a time, the armor soldiers were surging, pushing the ladder like a tide, carrying the ladder forward.

The army advanced to within a hundred paces of ballistas and stoneballs, and then stopped advancing. On the rear camp, "Coax! Coax! Coax!" The huge cannon fire shook the heavens and the earth.

Rows of boulders flew up. Almost instantly, a second row of trebuchets fired a volley, and the earth shook and was filled with dust.

After a few volleys of trebuchets, the drums beat loudly and the trumpets sounded vigorously. The men and horses in front of them shouted, and countless people rushed forward frantically in the rain of arrows.

Wang Rong turned his head to look to the east, and the city wall in the distance was filled with black smoke, and the ladders and building cars were burning with raging fires, and the arrows that ignited in the air were like meteor showers.

Such a siege will cause a large number of casualties every day. But Wang Rong couldn't stop, he couldn't stop people from dying. Perhaps, compared to the dead and wounded of the defeat, as long as the victory can be won, a large number of soldiers' lives have been saved.

Even his throne and his prestige were forged in this countless bloodshed. The strong live, the weak die, and there is no choice.

The siege on all sides continued until dusk, and the whole city of Luoyang was already miserable. The Tang army retreated to the defensive line, but the matter was not over, a large number of wounded soldiers were carried to the wounded barracks, the sound of groans was faintly heard in the smoke of gunpowder, and hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to lick their wounds in the remnant sun.

A group of generals hurried to the camp of the Chinese army, and the military division will adjust the deployment and continue tomorrow's offensive. :

The proceedings continued into the evening. At this time, Wang Xu, the pro-soldier general beside Wang Rong, suddenly hurriedly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, walked straight to Wang Rong, bent down, took out a note, and said: "The Yuzhou Branch of the Investigation Department has received a secret performance, and Zhang Liang may have to go out of the city for a decisive battle in the early morning of tomorrow."

Decisive battle?! Wang Rong was stunned for a moment, shouldn't he break through, it's quite good. He was happy all of a sudden, Zhang Liang did a good job, it was like a charcoal in the snow.

Wang Rong almost wanted to thank Zhang Liang, he simply went out of the city to have a showdown, and how many Tang soldiers could be killed

At this moment, another military general came in and saluted on one knee: "Holy Lord, Zhang Liang sent the envoy out with a hanging basket to write a battle letter, and he wants to start a decisive battle with the Tang Army!"

There was an immediate uproar in the tent.

There are a lot of candles lit on the side of the big tent of the Chinese army, but the light is still dim, the season has come to summer, Rao is the camp of the Chinese army is very crowded, the insects do not seem to be afraid of people, the insects outside the tent are chirping happily.

A group of people inside the big tent were in high spirits, waiting to enter Luoyang City before they could fight.

Wang Rong was also very moved, and said on it: "If Zhang Liang wants to go out of the city, then dare to be kind."

In the city of Luoyang, the elite of the Yu army can fight in the field with a maximum of 20,000 or 30,000 people; At this time, the field battle, the Yu army really had nothing to fight. In Wang Rong's hands, there are now more than 100,000 elite infantry and cavalry soldiers in the Tang Army alone, and I am afraid that there is no need to exhaust the elite soldiers, and only send the armed guards to defeat the Luoyang Army.

The defenders of Luoyang

Once the defeat out of the city, the Tang army can immediately occupy Luoyang. In this situation, the Yu army in the entire Henan County area had almost no resistance power, and the surrounding states and cities had to surrender without fighting, and most of Henan County could be recovered by hand. Everyone's eyes sparkled.

Those eyes were like the expression of a man who had been hungry for three months and saw a table of wine and food.

Zhang Yunshu took a hissed breath in front of a group of people: "The minister feels strange, what kind of medicine does this Zhang Liang sell?"

Wang Rong suddenly looked at Zhang Yunshu, Zhang Yunshu's words really hit the heart, and it was really too strange.

But at this time, there is no talk of underestimating the enemy and risk, as long as the main force of the Henan army does not advance westward, there is no risk for the Tang army to fight so many people in Henan County.

Wang Rong said quietly: "If you can get Luoyang without attacking the city, you can avoid many soldiers from losing their lives on the battlefield."

This is what Wang Rong is most concerned about.

Zhang Yunshu pointed to the topographic map of Luoyang on the side and said, "The decisive battle is in the open field in the east of the city. There are two speculations among the ministers, one is that Zhang Liang wanted to lure our army to gather in the east of the city, and he led his men and horses to abandon the city from the north and east of the city to escape to save his life; Second, there is no hope for reinforcements, Zhang Liang knows that it is impossible to escape defeat, lose the city and lose the land, break the jar, and look for death."

Wang Rong was silent.

He pondered that Zhang Liang, the county guard of Henan, still had a way to live. In addition to surrendering, he may be able to survive and steal his life, but he should also be a death anyway. Luoyang is also very important to the Yu Kingdom, and if he loses the defender of Luoyang City, what reason is there for him not to die?

If Zhang Liang doesn't kneel down to me and beg for mercy, he can still live, Wang Bian really admires this person so much.

Moreover, what method did Zhang Liang use to survive?

Since you must die, what else is there to break through?

At this time, Zhang Yunshu's voice said: "The minister thinks that tomorrow on the fifth watch, the elite infantry of the Wuwei Army will line up in the east of the city, and the elite cavalry of the rest of the counties will be transferred east to the city of Luoyang, and the two wings of the large array will be divided. As soon as the Yuyang army left the city, the central infantry immediately attacked; The cavalry on both flanks quickly broke through to the back of the abdomen, looking for an opportunity to seize the east gate of Luoyang. If the city gate is closed, the army outside the city will be encircled and annihilated by the Luoyang army, and the city of Luoyang will still be at your fingertips."

"Sima Zhang has a sentence that is reasonable" Wang Rong's eyes were sharp, his speech was fast, but his speech was very clear, "As long as the Yu army goes out of the city, taking Luoyang will be like probing for things. Our primary goal is Luoyang. As long as the Yu army is willing to go out of the city, they can do whatever they want."

In Wang Rong's view, Zhang Liang is indeed going to die, but now this sign is afraid that he is greedy for life, and he really wants to fight the east and west, and the desire to survive is one of the greatest desires of people.

Wang Rong's thinking was clear, and he said, "In order to prevent mistakes, the cavalry battalion in the north was mobilized to the east of the city to set up a formation. Give Zhang Liang the greatest hope to avoid him hesitating and hesitating. When all the Yu troops left the camp and the two armies engaged, Chu Luxu's hussars quickly moved north, preparing to guard against Zhang Liang's breakthrough!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Servants obey!"

That night, Wang Rong actually had a little insomnia. Tonight's insomnia is not because of worry, but when it comes to this, I really can't think of any reason to worry; He was excited, excited, and anticipatory.
