Luoyang, the eastern capital, the eastern city wall.

On the east city wall that reached into the sky, countless Sui troops overlooked the many black holes on the ground at the foot of the wall, and there were many discussions, speculating whether the enemy army could dig tunnels to attack the city, guessing what the underground battle situation was, guessing the various tactics that the enemy army outside the city would use, and so on.

Many veterans took the opportunity to show their old qualifications and rich experience, talked loudly, and opened their minds.

Anyway, ordinary soldiers won't participate in the underground battle, so you can say anything!

"Knock, knock, knock......"

Suddenly, the drums beat loudly, and a thousand drums rang out in unison, which shocked the Qingming and warm world.

The anti-army camp outside the city, which had not moved, was boiling.

Countless siege equipment was pushed out of the barracks, ranging from tens of meters in size to hundreds of meters in size, as large as a hill, and thousands of meters in size.

Countless anti-armies, like ant colonies pouring out of the barracks, cavalry, infantry, alien beasts, bee swarms, insect swarms, etc., all kinds of groups, people are dazzling, anyway, there is a large area of black pressure.

"When, when, when......"

When the war drums sounded in unison, the police gong of the east city wall of Luoyang sounded high. On the occasion of the tension between the two sides, it is natural to announce that the enemy army outside the city is about to attack the city!

The Sui army on the east city wall, the Sui army on the west, south, and north city walls that were bored, the many reserve troops training in the city, and the many Sui troops patrolling in the city, etc., were all alarmed, and all kinds of shouts, shouts, scolding, and roaring sounds, etc., rose one after another.

The barracks urgently summoned their soldiers, and the armies kept leaving the barracks......

The people in Luoyang City began to be chaotic.

The originally bustling and noisy streets, after a burst of boiling, quickly calmed down, and most of them returned to their residences.

In general, wars do not affect the civilian population. However, the enemy army outside the city is portrayed as inhumane thieves. The brute who eats meat and does not spit out bones, of course it is scary!

The vast and vast Luoyang City, the whole city shook, and even the palace city in the northwest corner was nervous!

The first thing is that it was already strictly forbidden to pass, and Luoshui, which crosses the eastern capital of Luoyang, is strictly forbidden for boats to pass, and any ships are strictly inspected!

Immediately afterwards, dozens of large and small urban districts in Luoyang City, and the city gates of each urban area were closed. It is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, mainly to prevent the enemy army and spies from taking the opportunity to cause chaos and disturb the eastern capital.

Luoyang Palace.

Wu Guogong asked for help, and decisively sent Li Gonggong and other nine Lotus Shadow Guards to support, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Yang Wang, the wine of the country, gathered together and were also alarmed.

"What's the situation?!Didn't you say that the enemy army would not attack the city in the next few days?"

Yang Tong, who was bored and waiting, couldn't help but look at Fan Zigai in surprise as soon as he got the report of the enemy's siege.

Fan Zigai said it himself. The enemy forces on all sides have not yet been encircled, and even various situations have not been prepared, and it is still a matter of whether the most important siege equipment has been manufactured.

There are no top-of-the-line siege machines. Naturally, it is impossible to capture the eastern capital Luoyang, and no one can defend it and cannot climb the city wall, which is a well-known common sense!

What is the situation now?!Is it civil strife again?

Fan Zigai's face was embarrassed, and he replied stubbornly: "Theoretically...... The enemy will not attack the city in the next few days! That will only increase casualties!"

Yang Wang sneered and reminded: "Theoretically...... Now is the reality. If Lord Shangshu could anticipate everything, there would be no war in the world!"

"Huh?" Fan Zigai's face sank, and he looked at Yang Wang angrily.

As the king of Yue, Yang Tong, two close ministers. The two have a long-standing grudge and don't like each other. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Yang Wang, the son of the country, dared to demolish his platform, villain!

However, Fan Zigai couldn't refute it, and he had to admit that what Yang Wang said was the truth.

If everything is expected by him, there will be no war in the world, and he will not be the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

Yang Tong ignored the thoughts of the two of them, and asked nervously: "Hasn't there been any news from my father-in-law? What about Duke Wu?

"Your Highness, Duke Wu is unharmed, and he is leading the crowd to hunt down and kill Xuangan thieves and barbarians...... The leader of the barbarian tribe has been basically annihilated, and only the last dozen or so people are on the run. If you can kill the Xuangan thief, the overall situation will be decided!"

Fan Zigai comforted with confidence, which made Yang Tong breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes showed expectation, but he looked at Fan Zigai with some displeasure, obviously knowing the "bad habit" of the courtiers to report good news and not bad news!

Fan Zigai has served Yang Tong for a long time, so he naturally knew Yang Dong's thoughts, hesitated, and replied stubbornly: "In addition, Gonggong Kang was unfortunately killed!"

"What?" Xiao Yang Tong stood up, his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

In Yang Tong's heart, the Lotus Shadow Guard is almost a symbol of invincibility. Since he was sensible, he had never heard of the death of the Lotus Shadow Guard, and even the great assassination that shook the Eastern Capital and shocked the world a few days ago, no one dared to assassinate him, naturally because of the Lotus Shadow Guard.

Now, Gonggong Kang has died in battle, how fierce is the battle?!

Fan Zigai stubbornly comforted: "This ...... After all, there is a fierce battle with the anti-thief Xuangan, barbarian leaders, and other subversions, and there will inevitably be casualties!"

"No wonder the rebels hastily attacked the city! I see...... It is estimated that Wu Guogong, Tang Guogong, General Cai Yan and others are pinned down underground and cannot command the battle situation!"

Xiao Yang Tong reacted quickly, and muttered calmly and wisely.

For Wu Guogong and Fan Zigai, Yang Tong still trusts him, not only in terms of loyalty, but also in terms of ability!

"Your Highness is wise, that's exactly the case!" Fan Zigai said with admiration on his face.

With Yang Tong's age, it is indeed extremely rare to be able to react so quickly, thinking of this, and it is quite precocious.

At a young age, he was often sent by Yang Guang, the Holy Emperor of Civil and Military Affairs, as the representative of the town guard, which was naturally extraordinary!

"No, let's go to the walls and see ......."

Yang Tong was not secretly happy because of Fan Zigai's praise, and said with a sad face.

"Huh?!"

Fan Zigai, Yang Wang and the others were shocked, and Yang Wang hurriedly advised: "Your Highness thinks twice, now that your father-in-law and other peak cultivators have entered the underground ruins, the enemy army will take the opportunity to attack and kill, Your Highness must not be in danger, so as not to shake the heart of the army!"

Yang Tong's small eyebrows were furrowed, he wanted to make a tough decision, but he was a little jealous, and he also agreed with Yang Wang's words.

Fan Zigai said in a worded manner: "Your Highness's daughter's body is related to the Eastern Capital, and you must not take risks! Why don't you let the old minister represent Your Highness and go to check the battle situation, and spread the meaning of Your Highness?"

Yang Tong nodded. Urged: "It's okay! Then Shangshu will go immediately, and if there is any situation, report it immediately!"

......

On the hundreds of zhang high city walls, which were like cutting off heaven and earth, the Sui army kept pouring up the city walls, carrying rolling logs, stones, arrows and other objects to prepare for resistance.

Outside the city, the layers of dark clouds were stacked, and the boundless counter-army rushed to the city wall at full speed.

From a high point of view, the enemy army is as slow as a snail. It's just that the iron-blooded evil qi covers a range of more than 100 miles, which is quite amazing!

More than half an hour later, the rebels arrived a few miles outside the eastern city wall.

Such a rapid build-up and marching speed shows that the rebels have long been prepared and well-trained.

The Sui army on the city wall, watching the rebels approaching like a tide, no one attacked, not even a sharp arrow was fired, and powerful equipment such as catapults and giant ballistas did not take the opportunity to exert their might.

Everyone knows that the normal siege plot. The Eastern Capital is by no means a short period of time. Any besieging party has to fill in the lives of a large number of soldiers before it can touch the wall, which is also the absolute confidence and recognition of the city wall of the eastern capital.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

Thousands of drums rang out in unison, and the war drums outside the city still shook the heavens and the earth. The noise made the creatures inside and outside the city unable to calm down.

Sanli ......

One mile ......

300 meters......

100 meters......

Countless soldiers, surrounded by countless siege equipment as small as 100 meters and as high as 1,000 meters, approached the city. The Sui army on the eastern city wall kept converging. But there was still no big move.

The sparse sharp arrows shot down from the wall and slashed through a height of more than 300 zhang. Like the end of a strong crossbow, the power is pitifully small. Unless a blind cat touches a dead mouse, it is difficult to hurt people.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Sui army has not made any major movements and has watched the counter-army approaching.

"All ballistas, catapults, aim for the equipment outside the city!"

A military order was transmitted, and countless city defense equipment on the dense city wall were aimed at the target.

Commanders such as Wu Guogong, Li Shimin, and General Cai Yan were not there, but there was no shortage of capable people in the Sui army, who knew what to do and what was most suitable.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Hundreds of ladder trucks touched the wall, and there was a dull sound.

Nearly one-tenth of the ladder truck touches the wall, five-tenths of the top is still 10 meters to 100 meters away from the wall, and the top of the three-fourth ladder truck is more than 100 meters away from the wall!

This situation caused a burst of laughter from the Sui army at the head of the wall, and the enemy army was obviously attacking the city in a hurry, and they couldn't even reach the wall!

More than 100 meters in the vertical direction, it is impossible to climb the average quality of the anti-army soldiers!

This is the pride, self-confidence and glory of being the defender of the Eastern Capital!

Laughing and laughing, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of ladder trucks, there are about more than 200 top-level ladder trucks, which were quickly smashed by the Sui army or pushed off the wall. Ignore the rest, wait for the enemy army to climb, and take the opportunity to kill more enemy troops!

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The drums of war were still the same, and the rebels all over the mountains began to move, and two or three thousand people flowed up along the ladder car.

The majestic iron-blooded aura like the top of the dark cloud slowly pressed towards the wall, making the Sui army at the head of the wall cold and depressed for a while, and put away some jokes.

A quarter of an hour later, under the urging of fierce war drums, countless anti-army soldiers climbed to the top of the ladder car, nearly half of them were colorless, and even before the Sui army attacked, more than 100 people fell down and fell to pieces.

Fear of heights is a relatively common psychology.

With a height of more than 300 zhang, the psychological quality is poor, and I really can't stand it.

The vast majority of the rest of the anti-army soldiers climbed to the top of the ladder and could only look up in despair and weakness.

The anti-army is basically ordinary people, nearly half of them have been forcibly recruited or have no choice but to join, and they can't climb at all.

Even if you are a master of body refining, it is difficult to climb a vertical smooth wall with a height of more than 100 meters.

"Shoot!"

The despair and helplessness of the anti-army soldiers did not get the sympathy of the Sui army, and soon countless arrows rained down, completely practicing arrows as a live target, and constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy!

A pillar of incense time later.

Two or three thousand ladder trucks, estimated to have killed more than 100,000 rebels, the blood stained the city wall red, and the corpses were piled up at the foot of the wall.

With such heavy casualties, the huge catapults, ballistas, and don carts behind the ladder cart have not even approached, and they are still moving slowly!

Is the commander of the rebel army an idiot? Without escort or interference with the siege equipment, they are in a hurry to send troops to their deaths, and when the high-level officials of the Eastern Capital are not there, there will be no one to defend the city?

It's all for nothing!

This is the common idea of the soldiers on both sides.

Suddenly, many figures who were "dressed in ordinary clothes, like ordinary rebels" flew up the wall and moved like apes climbing up......

There are also countless birds, insect swarms, etc., swept up from the anti-army camp and flew to the eastern capital!
