Chapter 215: The Battle of Taiyuan Begins
......
When a guest comes to Luoyang, no matter how much Wang Shichong hates it in his heart, as a prince with real power, he has to do enough etiquette to greet him. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info can't pretend not to know, and can't pretend not to know.
When a guest comes, there must first be a place to stay.
Luoyang is not as good as Yangzhou, and there are not so many vacant palaces that can be vacated to receive guests. Such a good place has been robbed and occupied by the powerful, and people from other forces usually arrive, either staying in the best inn in Luoyang, or staying in a post house.
As the host of Luoyang, Wang Shichong was a rebellious minister, but he didn't want to be so obvious, and after receiving the news from Wang Xuanshu, he was not in a hurry to act, and quietly waited for the news from the territory.
A large group of people came to Luoyang, and the Luoyang defenders along the way first discovered the traces, and then reported to Wang Shichong, who received the news and reported to Yang Yu, whom he supported.
In normal times, everything was properly handled by Wang Shichong without going through the emperor of the Yang family, and Wang Shichong thought about this matter again and again and decided to carry it out in the name of the Yang family.
In this way, firstly, he can show his care for the Yang family and dilute others' impression of him as a chaotic minister and thief, and secondly, this troublesome matter can be thrown to the Yang family to do, and he can concentrate on avenging himself.
The news that the Yangzhou mission was coming to Luoyang was first dispersed, and the whole Luoyang people knew about it.
After hearing the news, Luoyang's gang Wulin and the clan first felt incredible, and then quickly analyzed the matter.
No one thinks that Yangzhou is an idle egg who has nothing to do, so he came to Luoyang to play.
In the Luoyang Gang, Shangguan Long, Rong Fengxiang and a group of people with extraordinary identities gathered together, among which there was a daughter who had not seen her for a long time. There was also a charming woman next to her who was no less than Wan Wan, scratching her head and making gestures, throwing flattering eyes at an old man. Rong Fengxiang coughed in his eyes, glared at the wind **, and his arrogance was slightly restrained.
"This is a big deal, and for the Holy Sect, it is necessary to find out the cause carefully. Although the old man was old, there was a trace of evil on his face, and he was not polite at all when he spoke to the famous Luoyang gang leader, posing as a superior person.
"Yes, Elder Bian, don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter. Shangguan Long hurriedly responded.
Through the dialogue, you can roughly guess the surname of the elder who asked Shangguan Long to speak carefully, plus Wan Wan is there again, and it is not difficult to guess the identity, it turns out that it is Bian Buying, who is known as the Demon Hidden in the Yin Kui Sect.
"That couldn't be better. Bian nodded and said, his eyes turned but fell on Wan Wan's face, a faint trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes, and he smiled a little sadly:
"Niece Wanwan is familiar with that person, don't you plan to say anything at this time?"
"Uncle Bian looked down on Wan Wan, Wan Wan had met that person a few times, but he didn't know the details of that person, how to know the medicine in his gourd. Wan Wan said, although she felt disgusted in her heart for this old guy who wanted to call her uncle, she also did not change her face and was respectful.
"If my niece knows something, it's better to say it. Otherwise, I'm afraid my sister will be unhappy. Bian Bu snorted, the obscenity in his eyes suddenly increased, and other meanings spontaneously appeared.
Rong Fengxiang next to him hurriedly came forward to play the round:
"Elder Bian and Wan Wan came from afar, all the way to the dust, it must be very hard, it is better to wash the dust for the two of them. Rest for two days, while waiting for the following news. ”
Shangguan Long hurriedly agreed, and everyone did not refuse.
......
Far outside Taiyuan City, Li Shimin galloped, and finally saw Taiyuan City within the time limit.
As soon as I saw it, I saw that the attack under the city of Taiyuan had been launched, and countless Chinese soldiers rushed towards the city wall, and Taiyuan was in danger.
Li Shimin immediately understood that Huaxia did not eat his foolishness, and his attitude was obvious, and he was determined to take Taiyuan City.
Immediately, his face was a little difficult to look at, it was the first time he had been slapped in the face like this, and all his wisdom seemed to be useless.
The men and horses he brought were less than 5,000, and in order to hurry, he was tired and tired, and the large group of men and horses were still coming slowly behind, and they could not help at this time. With many years of experience, Li Shimin could only wait for Li Shentong in Taiyuan City to lead the defenders to repel the Chinese attack and receive him into the city, so that he could formulate a good strategy to break the enemy.
The general city of Taiyuan City is not much different, the four city gates are separated in all directions, it is the gateway outside the city, the war broke out, the city gate became a must-win place.
Before Huaxia launched an offensive, Li Shentong was standing handsomely on the southern city tower, touching his beard while holding the victory, and carrying out the layout of the defense. Almost half of the troops were concentrated on this south gate, and he did not panic at all in the face of the far more troops under the city than on the city.
Since ancient times, defending and besieging cities has never been a fair war, and the right time and place will often favor the defenders.
Li Shentong understood this truth, even if the strength of the besieging party was about ten times, he thought that he was sure that he could withstand Taiyuan City and wait until the rescue arrived.
The boiling oil, masonry, and rolling wood on the city have all been prepared, just waiting for the enemy under the city to approach, and definitely let the other party taste the pain.
Looking at the Huaxia Army who was getting closer and closer, he seemed to have seen the tragic situation of countless people on the other side rolling in pain in the boiling oil, smashed their heads and bleeding. He couldn't help but get excited when he saw the enemy like this.
But in the next second, he was a little dumbfounded, and countless arrows flew over, and the direction was the part of the city wall where he was.
Is there any mistake?
Can a bow and arrow shoot so far?
He visually measured this distance, and the bows and arrows in the city were difficult to shoot at the Huaxia army at this time, and the other party actually shot the arrows from below, which made him not shocked.
As a veteran, he didn't panic, when a bow and arrow attacked, he immediately asked people to raise a shield to defend.
Naturally, he himself did not use a shield, and with a swing of his sword, he blocked the arrows that were fired at him.
Although 90% of the arrows were blocked, there were still many unlucky people who were shot, wounded, and unable to fight.
If it was just a bow and arrow, the shield would be enough to deal with it, but the Huaxia military would never think that the defenders in the city could be shot to death with a bow and arrow alone, and then they would be able to attack the city.
Bows and arrows were only cover, and the real attack was the city gates.
The siege equipment was quickly pushed to the front, and they began to pound the gates against time.
Riding on the city wall to deal with the rain of swords, the people below hurriedly broke the door.
Huaxia's tactics are the word "fast", to enter the city as quickly as possible, and when you enter the city, you will be at the same level as the defenders in the city in terms of geographical advantages, and will no longer be subject to the obstruction of the city wall.
Seeing Huaxia hitting the city gate, Li Shentong hurriedly asked people to throw the rolling wood, but now no one can free his hand, the dense sword rain is overhead, and it is too late to raise the shield. Hearing Li Shentong's order, someone put down the shield and went to report the rolling wood, but he was instantly shot by an arrow and no longer had the ability to move.
