Until the next morning

The army was pushed forward again, with 100,000 troops and 10,000 cavalry, all over the wilderness, which can be called strong men and horses, and morale like a rainbow. \\。 qВ5、ｃ0m\

"The upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege. ”

All the strategically important cities, are thick and high, ditches and rivers to protect the city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, can win more with less, so with Sun Tzu's use of troops like a god, still to attack the city as a last resort. Although it is said that Emperor Yang of Sui took away most of the elite, although the city is claimed to be 150,000, it is just a new set of peasants, and there is no combat effectiveness, but it is defended by the city, and if the resistance is resolute, it is still not to be underestimated.

"In history, Li Tang attacked Luoyang, and Dou Jiande came to save him, today, can anyone care?" Yang Xuan stared at the city, and when he saw that there was no movement, he sneered.

Dou Jiande is a native of Zhangnan, Suibei Prefecture. He has been farming for generations, once served as the lieutenant chief, Emperor Yang recruited troops to recruit Goryeo, and Jiande served as the commander of 200 people in the army. Resisted the Eastern Crusade, and helped Sun Anzu, a native of the same county, to lead hundreds of people into Gaojibo, the eastern border of southern Zhang, and raised troops to resist the Sui. Later, Dou Jiande's family was killed by the Sui army, and Jiande led 200 people to join the uprising army of Gao Shida, a Qinghe man. In the twelfth year of the great cause, Sui sent Yang Yichen to defeat Zhang Jincheng and Gao Shida. Jiande recruited the resurrection of dispersion, and in the first month of the thirteenth year of the great cause, he called the king of Changle in Leshou County, Hejian.

In this world, although he got up faster than in history, until now, he was only the lord of the five counties, and he had no strength to interfere in this battle of Luoyang.

The daylight moved slowly, and seeing that there was no movement in Luoyang City, Yang Xuanning showed a sneer again, and asked left and right: "How many city breakers have arrived?"

"Back to the king, the volume is magnificent. It was difficult to travel in the snow, and only two cars arrived. The guard bowed his head in response.

"Two cars, that's enough. Push it up and tell the operator to listen. If you can knock down the main building on the city wall in one fell swoop, all of them, regardless of up or down, will be promoted to one level, and the bounty will be a thousand taels!" Yang Xuanning said calmly: "Within three shots." If it doesn't work, it will be dealt with by military law, and all of them will be beheaded for public display!"

This cruel will was immediately transmitted, and suddenly, two locomotives more than ten meters high were pushed out (I didn't want to say it, but those sarcastic couples are really brainless and have to talk about it carefully.) It's a real thing in history.)

This locomotive is framed with large timbers, and the joints are connected with metal parts. The gun carriage has a rotating gun shaft horizontally. The long rod fixed to the shaft is called "slightly". Leverage. The use of a wooden pole is called a single slightly, and the use of multiple wooden poles tied together to make a tip is called a small one. The more you count. The heavier and farther the projectile is made. One end of the gun tip is tied to a leather socket to hold stone projectiles, and the other end is a gun cable. The rope is several feet long. There are several ropes for small cannons, more than 100 for large cannons, and 200 ropes for this trebuchet.

Each artillery cable is pulled by 1-2 people, so that one machine is enough for 400 people to pull, so a group of city breakers, plus maintenance, is enough for 500 people, and it is used exclusively in a team.

In history, this has another name, called Hui Cannon.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shizu attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale, and was stubbornly resisted by the Song army in Xiangyang and Fancheng. The Yuan army besieged the city for 5 years, but it was never able to conquer it, and suffered heavy casualties under the city, so Yuan Shizu had to send an envoy to Persia and transfer back the gunsmiths. Makes a return cannon.

This kind of return cannon, the ordinary type, the bullet stone used weighs 300 kilograms, and it is fired by the machine, which saves force and has a long range, while the large one can reach 800 kilograms at that time, and the firing range is about 200 meters.

Three years later, Yuan Shizu attacked Fancheng with return artillery and won in one fell swoop. Then, the Yuan army moved its artillery to Xiangyang. The first shot hit the Xiangyang Tower, and the entire tower immediately disintegrated and fell into the ground seven feet. Faced with this situation, the generals in the city immediately knew that the general trend had gone, and the Song general Lu Wenhuan knew that he was invincible, so he accepted the city and returned to the Yuan army. The Battle of Xiangfan, which had lasted for five years, ended in an angry roar of the return artillery.

Why, because there is no hope of victory at all, although one stone cannot break the city wall, but as long as a few more stones are thrown, there is no point in defending the city. The whole book

Speaking of this, Yang Xuanning couldn't help but think of Guo Jing, the legend of the Condor Heroes, if you also pay attention to some logic, in the end, Xiangyang City was broken, and Guo Jing died on this weapon.

Thousands of pounds of boulders, broken cities and broken walls, a hundred Guo Jing has no way to avoid the fate of the city being broken and people dying, even if the eighteen palms of the dragon descending and the nine yin true scriptures are cultivated to the highest realm, it is useless.

Not to mention Guo Jing, he is the grandmaster of this world, there is only one way to die, maybe only to become a god who truly shatters the void, and he can barely resist!

However, this kind of trebuchet, more than ten meters high, extremely heavy, extremely difficult to move, to pad the wood underneath, thousands of people together to pull the fiber, can move one, in history, only the Mongols in the world to return to the cannon on a large scale on the battlefield. The Mongols conquered the south and the north, and won almost every battle, and in addition to the cavalry, the possession of return artillery was also an important factor.

In fact, the principle of the return cannon is not complicated, it is the principle of the trebuchet, Yang Xuanning once said this idea, but to build such a big, so complicated, Lu Miaozi led the Ministry of Engineering, all efforts to process, up to now, the real large return cannon, there are only ten, the others are small.

The large return cannon, known as the city breaker, can break any city wall, this kind of specially made ten, can throw 1000 catties, the range of 300 meters, has almost reached the limit of the wooden structure, and, basically, every fifty rounds, to fall apart, but this is enough, because even if it is condescending, whether it is a crossbow or a bow in the city, it can only reach a range of 150 meters, in fact, 200 meters away, there is no threat.

Two giant carts pushed forward, and due to the cruel will, all of them were colorless, and experienced sighters desperately measured the distance and rays back and forth.

Yang Xuanning was not in a hurry at this time, a stone breaker, five hundred people can drive, two is a thousand people, a thousand people in front of everyone, cheering and pulling a thousand catties of boulders, ready to eject.

At this moment, in Luoyang City, they also found that it was not good, and dozens of people rose up, struggling to cross the space of nearly seven zhang like a big bird, and rushed straight to the city breaker, at this moment. The next order was given: "Fire!" "Poof!" Countless bows and arrows flew in the air, densely covering the sky, waiting for the arrows to rain down. Most of these dozens of masters who pounced on them have become hedgehogs. There were also a few people, presumably wearing soft armor, and although they had been hit by several arrows, they were still on tiptoe and took off again. Straight to the two city breakers.

At this moment, two hundred-man cavalry in the army rushed out, quickly intercepted, and fought hard.

Yang Xuanning didn't look at them at all, only looked at the city-breaking machine, only to see this city-breaking machine, pulling the cannon rope and sneering, almost at the same time, the two artillery commanders. They all gave orders in unison, and suddenly, two huge stone bullets. Flew out.

The morning sun was shining, and hundreds of thousands of people suddenly stopped watching. Countless hearts jumped with the two stone bullets.

"Boom!" there was almost no loud noise. The two boulders hit the attic on the city wall almost simultaneously, under the attack of the boulders. The stone attic immediately collapsed, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the people nearby only felt that the ground moved, and the soldiers above the attic suddenly all turned into meat foam, and they didn't even snort.

This situation was so amazing that even the soldiers on their own side were stunned for a while, and after a few minutes, hundreds of thousands of people suddenly cheered in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Morale was shaken.

Yang Xuanning ordered to wave the flag again, because he had already been ordered to go down in advance, and after receiving the order, suddenly, hundreds of thousands of people shouted together: "The city is still not down?

The sound was like a huge thunder, urging a sound, and the soldiers defending the city were all colorless and had no will to fight.

After shouting more than a dozen times in a row, the sound immediately stopped, hundreds of thousands, without a voice, this silence was even more oppressive than just now.

Yang Xuan stared at the city, time passed minute by minute, in front of him, there was a standing stalk, once the shadow was cast directly, at noon, it would immediately be an endless siege war.

Once the city is breached with great sacrifices, even if the city is not slaughtered, all the ten commanders in the city, together with any officials and the emperor's grandson, will not be able to live, and they will be slaughtered in batches until they are all killed.

This is the truth of ancient warfare, and it is also where the art of war lies, even if you want to win the refuge of officials, it will not be this kind of stubborn people, to put it bluntly, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?

Treat those who resist to the death with kindness, but how to deal with those who take refuge in the first place?

Those who resist desperately have no reason to live.

Only in heroic fairy tales, or romances, will there be such things that the more fierce the resistance and the more important it is, or those who have more chips and interests in reality, can change this theorem slightly.

As the minutes passed, the atmosphere in the army became more and more tense. For this siege, all the baggage supplies are even more prepared, and at this time, the movable lookout "nest car" and "building car", which can peep into the city from a high place, or send arrows to assist, are already moving, and one by one they are covering the entire battlefield front.

Generally speaking, large cities have moats, so the first step in siege warfare is to "cross the trench", even if the war has not begun, but 20,000 militia (soldiers who surrender to the county), all with a sack and some carts, are already filled with earth and stones, ready to once the battle starts, regardless of the dead and wounded, carry the earth and stones, push them into the trenches, and fill the moat.

And a large number, hundreds of wooden tanks are also prepared, wooden tanks are four ** cars, with thick soil and soaked quilts, not afraid of bows and arrows, not afraid of stone strikes, and not easy to burn, under which dozens of soldiers can be hidden, which has a miraculous effect in covering the siege.

Although only two large trebuchets were transported, small and medium-sized ones were already mobilized, but this kind of trebuchet had a range of 100 meters, so they were all within the firing range of the city, and once the war started, the losses would be very heavy.

Although the war has not officially begun, the atmosphere of this tragic siege battle has become stronger and stronger.

Even Yang Xuanning no longer has the slightest sense of leisure, although it is said that most of the people in the city are militia, and there are not many elites, although it is said that Emperor Yang of Sui is dead, and the fighting spirit in the city has been weak, although it is said that the first strike is to the people, bombarding the attic, although it is said that there is no food in the city, although it is said that there is an internal response in the city, and when the battle reaches the critical time, Luoyang will be broken sooner or later, but once the war really starts, with the thick land of Luoyang City, even if all the ten city-breaking machines arrive, even if all the conditions are met, to capture the city, at least pay a price of more than 50,000.

Time passed little by little, Yang Xuanning had already taken off his imperial clothes and put on golden armor, he was standing on the high platform, his eyes shining. but the mind is as calm as water.

The time was close to noon, and Yang Xuanning waved his hand, ready to give an order.

That's when it happened. I only heard a bang, and the gate of Luoyang City was opened.

for the first one. Sure enough, it was the imperial grandson Yang, he was no longer wearing the clothes of the imperial grandson, that is, he was white, and he still had a thorn strip on his back, and he was back. It was Sima Dekan and Pei Xing, as well as hundreds of ministers of civil and military affairs, who came over together to see it from afar, Yang Xuanning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but sighed again.

"The king, Yang Yi, thirty-six years of the Sui Dynasty since the death of the king, the king is wise and intelligent, and the martial arts are open-minded. From scratch, within three years, sweep the south. Luoyang today, the world is just around the corner. On the past and present. Only the king is the first, how can the king sigh?" Li Bo took a step forward. said.

Yang Xuanning glanced at it and saw that Du Fuwei, Wei Chi Jingde, Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin and other generals all bowed to the ground and said: "The whole king is wise, and the heavens carry it, so that today's business can be obtained!"

Yang Xuanning was overjoyed, although he also found that some newcomers were demoted and demoted generals to celebrate, but there was also a hint of complicated looks, but the world was easy to reunify, which was normal situation, and he didn't pay attention to it at the moment, saying: "It all depends on the power of the Qingqing to have today, enter Luoyang, no plunder, and the widow will be rewarded later." ”

Suddenly, the heralds announced the matter to the whole army, and for a while, the three armies were overjoyed, the mountains were full of thunder, and the generals and soldiers, regardless of whether they were high or low, all hugged each other and celebrated, raising their arms and shouting. The cheers spread to the inside and outside of Luoyang City.

And at this time, Yang Wenzhi, who was slowly walking halfway, wept gloomily and said: "My Great Sui Gaozu, born in Feng Yi Panruo Temple on the ugly night in June of the seventh year of the Great Unification, filled the room with purple gas and divine light, and then, the three let and receive the mandate of heaven, that is, the emperor is located in the Linguang Palace, built the Great Sui, and destroyed the Chen Dynasty, unified the whole country, the sage of the Turkic Khan, the Heavenly Khan, is willing to be a vassal eternal obedience, and thousands of generations for the holy dynasty cattle and horses." Isn't it sad that I have built a system of three provinces and six ministries, and such a glorious cause has not been achieved by me?"

Sima Dekan hurriedly looked at the back, pulled his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't say this again." ”

Yang was startled, and suddenly came to his senses, the minister behind him was still his own courtier just now, but at this time he was no longer so, and he forced himself to surrender by virtue of the group just now, and there was no longer the slightest righteousness of a monarch and a minister, and he heard this language, and he did not immediately report to the new lord to show his loyalty, and if he continued to say it, it would be a disaster of death immediately, and he immediately kept silent.

At this time, Yang Xuanning also said to Li Bo: "Gaozu, beautiful beard, seven feet eight inches long, magnificent appearance, superb martial arts, profound knowledge, general strategy, the opening of the emperor's prosperous era, the magnificent weather, entrepreneurship, chaos and rectification, Jiguo Ning people, the same text and the same track, I didn't think of dying in less than 36 years, it can be seen that the great merit in the world is not the reason for long-term rule." ”

Li Bo replied with a smile: "Although Gaozu is wide, His Majesty has done 17 things, 19 are kings, and now 20 are emperors. In the future, as long as the Han Dynasty is unified, bow and be thrifty, level the endowment, the canglio, the law is carried out, worship God, respect the heavens, be courteous and musical, accept the people's longevity, and drive away the vulgar Fulin, since he is an emperor through the ages, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and not as much as His Majesty, this is really ordered by the sky, as the sun shines on the people, and the true son of heaven is also!"

Indeed, he started from scratch, only twenty, and now he has the foundation, as long as there are no drawbacks, and he will unify the world in the next few years, who can compare with him in terms of founding martial arts?

Even if the second died, through the ages, future generations would have to admit that he was the first in martial arts, and he was even better than the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.

If there is a degree of Zhenguan's governance, and the country is extended for hundreds of years, it will become the peak of the emperor that no one can surpass in later generations.

The first emperor of the ages has already obtained half of it, and the rest can also be reached.

At this moment, Yang had already arrived, swords and guns along the way, and flags covered the field. Yang Jin went to the bottom of the high platform and knelt on the ground, although he did not pass on the jade seal of the country at this time, but in fact, the Son of Heaven had nine treasures, and the other jade seals were naturally held high, and bowed their heads to ask for sin, while the ministers all knelt behind.

Yang Xuanning said to Li Bo with a smile: "Gu Xian does not kill the king of the country, and I can't disobey it." ”

As he spoke, he got off the high platform, received the jade seal, helped Yang, personally untied the thorns in the north, and said: "Although the widow should be the mandate of heaven and is the true son of heaven, he will not forget the grace of the saint that day, the collapse of the saint, and the widow's heart is extremely painful, and he vows to avenge the crime of killing the king of the Li family." ”

He said to the ministers behind him: "Princes, please get up, you are all the pillars of the country, and in the future, the affairs of the world will depend more on your families." ”

As soon as these words came out, it clearly showed the political attitude, and all the ministers of the original Sui Dynasty immediately fell to the ground: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The king drove into the capital. ”

Although Luoyang was obtained, the household registration, grain books, official symbols, and ribbon seals were handed over one by one, and it was not a matter of time and a half.

Tens of thousands of troops in support, into the city, straight open the palace, at this time the original forbidden army all withdrew, let Yang Xuanning occupy, to the Luoyang Palace, only to see the carved fence jade, the corridor of the pavilion, the scale is magnificent, the construction of Seiko. Ambilight, dizzying, thousands of palace maids, all beautiful, dare not slack off, all to the steps below the team to greet, kneeling on the ground, the mountain shouts long live.

Yang Xuanning was silent, and in his dreams, the strangeness of fate can be seen today.
