Chapter 6: The Attack of the Three Gates (I)

Everyone looked at it and saw Zhao Hengshan's big hand pressed on Zhuo Chong's heavenly spirit cover, ready to go. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It turned out that when he arrived in Luoyang the day before and had secretly met Zhu Yu, the two talked at night, and had learned about Lei Zhen's habits, and he was waiting in the city the next day, and when he saw Luo Tianchu they entered the city, they followed him and patrolled near Hongyun Tower, only to find that the alley behind was full of knives and axes, and the leader was Zhuo Chong. It was difficult for him to enter the hotel to inform him, but he found that a horse gang soldier had run behind a tree to relieve himself, and he secretly broke the man's neck, changed into the man's clothes, and hid behind the tree and did not go out. After a while, Zhuo Chong led people into the hotel, and he blended in the crowd, and no one paid much attention. Seeing the situation on the field, he knew that Luo Tianchu was determined to die on the spot, and he was anxious to think of Lei Zhen's fetish, so he desperately won Zhuo Chong to bet on whether Lei Zhen really cared about him.

Lei Zhen really changed color, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt him! Who is Your Excellency?" Zhao Hengshan felt confident when he saw his reaction, and laughed: "I'm your Grandpa Zhao, kneel down and kowtow." Lei Zhen said: "Zhao Hengshan, hmph, I didn't expect Lord Luobao to have such a move, I was careless." Luo Tianchu said: "Don't talk nonsense, you let Xiao Zhu go, and then let us leave Luoyang, Brother Zhao will also release people." Lei Zhen smiled: "This transaction is not fair. Zhao Hengshan scolded: "Fuck your mother's fairness, believe it or not, Lao Tzu, this will make your little lover's head bloom." Lei Zhen was exposed in public, his face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Zhu Yushi is in my hands, you can try it." Zhao Hengshan said angrily: "Lao Tzu cut off your dog's head and chopped it into mashed meat." Lei Zhen looked at him without hesitation and said, "Each other." Luo Tianchu said: "How do you want to trade, draw out the way!" Lei Zhen was silent, as if he was considering.

Zhuo Chong hurriedly said: "Help the master save me! Help the master save me! You can't abandon me." Lei Zhen looked at him deeply without saying a word, and said: "That's good, I'll let you go, and you will also let people go, one life is exchanged for your fourteen lives, and you also earn it." Luo Tianchu said: "What about Zhu Yushi?" Lei Zhen said: "He stayed." Luo Tianchu shouted: "No." Lei Zhen said: "This is my condition, whether I agree to you or not." Zhuo Chong shouted: "What are you keeping him for! He's heavier than me! Are you taking a fancy to him!" Lei Zhen blushed and shouted angrily: "Shut up, if you weren't in the way, I would have been able to negotiate terms with them!" Feng Yiyuan, Gu Chao, Xiao Hu, these leaders who didn't know the inside story looked at each other, and they couldn't believe that the gang leader had such a habit, and the soldiers also exchanged heads and ears, and the army's heart was shaken. Luo Tianchu said: "Xiao Zhu will go with us, we will return to Guanzhong immediately, and Hangu Pass will also be given to you, I will not fight Luoyang's idea again, how about it?" Lei Zhen smiled: "You and I are both heroes in troubled times, you don't believe me, how can I believe you?" As long as I have Zhu Yushi for a day, you will be honest for a day, and I don't believe in the rest!" Luo Tianchu said: "Okay! We will withdraw our troops from Hangu Pass, and when you come to receive it, take Xiao Zhu with you, and hand over the city with one hand and the people with the other!" Lei Zhen thought for a while and said, "Okay! ”

The gate was reopened, and the three hundred soldiers parted to both sides, and Zhao Hengshan said, "You go first." "Luo Tianchu, Gu Yao, Yan Weifeng and ten soldiers went out of the hotel first, the street had already been cleared, Zhao Hengshan and Zhuo Chong also slowly retreated, Lei Zhen was afraid that there were still people ambushed in the shadows on the other side, so he personally controlled Zhu Yushi and followed. Luo Tianchu untied the reins of the horse from the horse stake and walked out of the city step by step.

After arriving outside the city, Luo Tianchu was no longer afraid of the siege from the opposite side, so he asked Zhao Hengshan to kick Zhuo Chong back, Lei Zhen didn't even look at him, and said: "Don't forget your promise, the castle master, hand over the city with one hand, and hand over the people with the other." Luo Tianchu looked at Zhu Yu and said, "Don't worry, I'll pick you up soon." Zhu Yushi said: "If you dare to exchange Hanguguan for me, I will break off my friendship with you!" Luo Tianchu was shocked: "What?" Zhu Yushi sighed: "I admit that I really want to go home and reunite with my wife and daughter, but you can't ruin the hope and future of your brothers for me alone, you are not my alone castle master, otherwise even if you and I go back, I will be ashamed and embarrassed, I have no face to see people, you understand me, remember me! Leave me alone!" Lei Zhen urged: "Okay, okay, Lord Luobao won't ignore you, go back." As he spoke, he asked the soldiers to escort Zhu Yushi back to Luoyang. Lei Zhen said again: "You don't really care about your good brother's life, do you, does the agreement just now still count?"

Luo Tianchu didn't answer, took a deep breath, looked up at the towering and majestic Luoyang City, flew on his horse without saying a word, and galloped away. Along the way, Luo Tianchu was silent, Zhao Hengshan and others knew the contradiction in his heart, and they didn't dare to disturb him, until he returned to Hangu Pass at dawn, Luo Tianchu sat in the handsome tent, and still didn't open his mouth. Lu Fei and the others all knew what had happened, and they all understood how important his next decision was, and they all waited with bated breath for him to speak.

After another long time, the sun rose in the east, the sky broke, and Luo Tianchu suddenly said softly: "Whole the army." Lu Fei got up and said, "Yes, I don't know where the whole army is going?" Luo Tianchu Huo Ran got up, faced the first rays of the morning sun shining in, and said firmly and calmly: "Luoyang! We will attack Luoyang!" He finally made a decision, and everyone felt a deep pain in their hearts, but they all knew that the most painful thing was Luo Tianchu, no one asked Zhu Yu what to do, no longer had to ask, just silently took the order and went to prepare. When Luo Tianchu was the only one in the tent, he sat down slowly, and the two lines of tears flowed down so involuntarily, his face was expressionless, and his fists were clenched.

Half an hour later, when Luo Tianchu walked out of the handsome tent, the soldiers who were ready to go were all bright, only to see him dressed in military uniform, majestic, wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, hanging a Xichuan red brocade and hundred flowers robe, wearing a beast face swallowing head chain armor, waist armor exquisite brute lion belt, and a red cloak behind him, as if the sky was going down to earth, everyone secretly cheered. This set of armor was tailor-made for him by Chang'an craftsmen according to Lu Bu's armor style, and this is the first time to wear it, which shows the importance he attaches to this battle and his respect for Zhu Yushi. Luo Tianchufei was covered in black lightning, and shouted: "Go on the expedition!" The city gate opened, and the 100,000 army left Hangu Pass like a long snake.

That night, the army set up camp ten miles away from Luoyang, of course, such a big movement of the march could not hide from Lei Zhen, Lei Zhen sent a messenger to question, Luo Tian did not see it at first sight and sent away, after eating Hu Bai's decoction and sleeping in clothes, he needed enough sleep to deal with tomorrow's war. As soon as the day dawned, the army of the Blood Knife Fort had been assembled outside Luoyang City, and the dew of the night before was still condensed on the soldiers' weapons, and the cool morning breeze blew the fire of war in the hearts of the soldiers.

Luo Tianchu came to the front of the army neatly, looked at the dense human figures and lights on Luoyang City, pulled out the lone sword, and pointed to the city from afar: "Attack!" The drums were beating, the horns were whining, and the soldiers in five large teams were holding shields, carrying long ladders, and approaching the city with the arrow tower car and the collision car. The arrows on the city tower are like rain, the locusts cover the sky and fall, but most of the arrows are blocked by the shield, jingle and scatter all over the ground, the soldiers under the collision car also have a baffle to avoid arrows, it is difficult to injure, the soldiers on the arrow tower car squatted under the wooden board to avoid a round, began to shoot arrows to fight back, the height of the arrow tower car is equal to the city wall, after a round of salvo, many horse gang soldiers fell to the ground in the arrow, but soon the second round of arrows of the horse gang was shot, and there were also soldiers injured in the arrow tower car, the wounded were carried down from the sealed three stairs, transported out of the back door, and other soldiers filled the position.

When they reached the moat, the infantry formed an arrow shield to cover the river filling troops, sandbags, and boulders fell into the water, and the arrows on the city shot down wildly, killing and wounding many people. Fortunately, 30,000 people filled the river at the same time, and the moat was filled in a quarter of an hour, and the soldiers shouted in unison, stepped across the moat and began to attack the city. The infantrymen attached ladders with grappling hooks to the walls, and climbed with one hand with shields. Basins of boiling hot water poured from the city, and many soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, being carried to the rear by the paramedics on stretchers.

The grappling hook of the ladder was tightly hooked to the city wall, pushing and pulling could not move, and the soldiers of the horse gang cut the grappling hook with a big knife while splashing water, pushing down the ladder, and rows of soldiers fell to the ground, screaming endlessly. There were also losses on the part of the defenders. Suddenly, a "boom" sounded, a boulder was ejected from the trebuchet on the city wall, and the top of an arrow tower car close to the city wall was smashed, and the soldiers hiding inside were all stoned to death, and the sealed wooden planks were also smashed open, and the soldiers in the car suddenly became live targets, some were shot to death, and some jumped out of the car. The three crashing cars attacked the west three gates at the same time, and the wooden stakes were repeatedly hit by "boom and rumble", and the cars had thick iron plates and baffles made of cowhide, which were not afraid of smashing or burning, and there was no loss for the time being. After a wave of strong attacks, only a small number of soldiers managed to climb the walls, but they were quickly eliminated by the defenders with heavy losses.

Such a situation was expected by Luo Tianchu as early as Luo Tianchu, and if he wanted to storm a big city like Luoyang, he would have to pay a huge price, and the first wave of soldiers was actually a meat shield, covering for the continuous attacks behind, but watching the soldiers die tragically, his heart was faintly painful. At that moment, he commanded the second wave of attacks unhurriedly, and said: "Master, Lao Zhao led 20,000 people to continue to storm the West Gate, Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng led 10,000 people to attack the North Gate, Xiao Zhonglou, Lu Ning, and Hu Boss led 10,000 people to attack the South Gate, and Li Xiao led a thousand cavalry archers to the East Gate to set fire to the East Gate to attract the defenders to pass, but not to attack." The generals took orders in unison and led the troops away. (To be continued.) )
