CHAPTER 74 - THE FIRST SECOND SECOND SESSION OF WITNEY (FIRST AND FIRST SECTION)

Wang Jun and Shi Le discussed in the dark, letting Wang Jun use the name of sending the wounded to trick the elite troops into the Luoyang City. If it was successful, they could quickly control the west gate of the Luoyang and lure the rest of the troops into the Luoyang. However, no one expected that the guards of the Luoyang would have such a strong will to resist, and that they would have such strong fighting strength. Although Xie Fei had played a role in the battle in the Luoyang, but before Xie Fei even arrived at the battlefield, more than two hours had passed.

Under the lead of his son-in-law, Cheng Song, the twenty thousand men led by Wang Jun, smoothly entered the Luoyang. Shi Le, Wang Mi and his men, along with Wang Jun's seventy thousand men followed closely behind.

Although Zhou Song had already entered the Luoyang City, there was a limited amount of space in the Luoyang City Gate, and over twenty thousand of them could not enter it all, let alone the combined army of Wang Jun and Liu Cong. In order to achieve the desired effect of surprise attack, the combined army of Wang Jun and Wang Jun was still from the light cavalry, they did not even bring the most basic siege escalades. Although (the combined army of Wang Jun, Shi Le, and Liu Cong was called the allied army) was closing in on the Luoyang, surrounding him, but they did not have any siege equipment, and could only watch the city with regret!

It's not that simple to fight in the army! The outcome of a war often did not depend on the number of troops!

Wang Jun was like an ant on a hot pan, restless and restless. He quickly picked up the large blade by his side and stood up, his eyes quickly darting around, his face full of panic and malice. Logically speaking, twenty thousand elite riders charging into the Luoyang should not be a problem. But two hours passed. The situation was unclear, and four hours passed. The situation was still the same. Wang Jun consecutively sent ten squads of scouts to investigate the results of the battle. The results were all the same, and the progress was slow.

Wang Jun, Shi Le and Liu Cong were being followed up by over seventy thousand troops trying to force the Luoyang to enter, how could the space at the main entrance of the Luoyang City be so big? Moreover, the city walls were still in the hands of the Jin Army, so it wasn't impossible for them to cross it. Wang Jun's army did not have any siege machine. Wang Jun could only look at the city and sigh.

On the other side, Shi Le's trusted aides and generals lined up on both sides of the tent.

Wang Jun stood respectfully beside Shi Le, a smile on his face, and a little bit of arrogance. He laughed leisurely: "I didn't expect Wang Jun to bump into an iron plate today, and the army protecting the Luoyang is only around twenty thousand people, and they are split up, with an average of just over five thousand people per city gate. Jin Army's fighting strength is truly shocking, to actually kill and injure Wang Jun's ten thousand men, and actually drag Wang Jun's vanguard of twenty thousand cavalrymen into the city, finding it hard to advance even a single inch."

The scene instantly quietened down, and Shi Le and the rest of the soldiers showed shocked expressions. Shi Le looked at everyone and took in their expressions. Shi Le glanced at Zhang Bin, and said unhappily: "Actually, it's not that Jin Army's fighting strength is strong, it's just that the space in the city is small, the cavalry is specialized in field battles, the street wars are not really the director of the cavalry, the Jin Army are all walking apoplexy, and close combat is their strong point. Although Wang Jun's army was large, it was not wise for them to only attack the enemy briefly.

Seeing Shi Le's angry expression, Zhang Bin heaved a sigh of relief. I respectfully accept with cupped fists, and even flattered him in the end, "General is unparalleled in heroic spirit! Jin Army will also have a hard time contending with the general! "

Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin with an inquiring gaze, of course, Zhang Bin knew what he was trying to do, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Breaking through Luoyang City is actually not difficult, we have the absolute advantage in numbers, as long as we bring out the siege machine, the four pronged assault will wear her down, and cause her to lose the advantage."

Hearing this question, they couldn't help but reveal an expression of interest. A man who looked like a deputy general came out and said impatiently: "General, this general is willing to be the vanguard, attacking into the Luoyang, killing, drinking, and playing with women, how could I not be happy!"

The generals were all in agreement. The scene turned chaotic at once; it was as if they had seen a hungry wolf in blood.

Shi Le frowned, although he was ready to make a move, he felt a bit of unease in his heart. A strange look flashed in his eyes. Shi Le looked at the excited crowd of soldiers, and his heart started moving.

Zhang Bin said: General, if you are prepared to take down the Luoyang, you should prepare as soon as possible, to the northwest Liu Kun's reinforcements will arrive at the Luoyang in a maximum of two days, if not, once Liu Kun gets close to the Luoyang, he will create a pincer attack on our troops. Although Liu Kun's army is not considered elite, but the situation on the battlefield will change constantly, and there will be changes in the next moment.

Shi Le's heart skipped a beat, he turned around and looked at the soldiers, his brows knitted suddenly, and stood up, "Good! That's what we'll do! "

The soldiers of the Shi Le shouted in excitement, as if all the wealth and talented beauties of the Luoyang City were right in front of them, and they could easily obtain them.

Shi Le's order quickly spread throughout the entire army camp. All of the soldiers were very excited, every one of them rubbing their hands together. On the contrary, they were all extremely excited. Squads of soldiers were shuttling back and forth in the army camp, seeming to be busy.

The Shi Le Barracks was about fifty kilometers away from the Luoyang. Although this distance was nothing to the cavalry, it was like ten thousand kilometers to the siege machines that were about to move. Thousands of Shi Le Army soldiers pushed, pulled, carried, and pulled. After spending nearly six hours, they finally sent the siege machinery to the side of the Luoyang City.

At this time, Chu Song's twenty thousand soldiers in front of him had suffered fifteen thousand casualties, and he was forced to retreat out of the city with a face full of dust.

However, Xie Fei and his men had already wiped out more than half of Wang Jun's twenty thousand soldiers and pushed him out of the city.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Huge sounds rang out in succession, large rocks whistled through the air, the comet crashed into the wall like it was hitting the earth, hundreds of troops were smashed into meat paste, and there were also a lot of huge rocks that didn't hit the wall, but rather the wall. Everyone felt that the wall shook, like an earthquake, stone chips flying everywhere, every time it was smashed, everyone's heart would fiercely beat, they didn't know if the wall would collapse!

Right now, it was only a probing attack before the enemy troops arrived. Looking at the city walls that were smashed to holes and filled with black smoke, Xie Fei's and the other soldiers' hearts sank, their eyebrows tightly knitted together as they looked at the army outside the city.

The expressions of the numerous Jin Army warriors turned deathly pale, and Ning Dan, who was right behind Xie Fei, had never seen such a formation of tens of thousands of enemies before. He was dumbstruck as he stared at the tens of thousands of enemy soldiers with his mouth agape, unable to speak a single word as he faced the stone-throwing machine which was like a locust swarm. Other than praying to the heavens for protection, there was really nothing else he could do.

Xie Fei's heart also sunk down, a soldier of Fly beside him was suddenly struck by a small stone that weighed over 10 jin, and following that, the sound of his footsteps could be heard as he was forced back. A mouthful of blood spurted out from the soldier's mouth, causing him to kneel on the ground weakly, unable to get up anymore.

At this time, there was no hate in the eyes of countless Jin Army, there was only depression and helplessness … It was as if the color of the world had instantly faded from their eyes and returned to darkness. The sky seemed to collapse at that moment. The will that was supporting the Jin Army gradually collapsed. Although they did not surrender their weapons, Xie Fei knew that at this rate, they would lose sooner or later.

The walls of the Luoyang City had been ravaged by the combined attacks of Wang Jun and Liu Cong's army in their first round of attacks. Aside from causing close to half of the defending army's casualties, it had also nearly destroyed their will to resist. At this time, Xie Fei's body was releasing a sharp aura, and his eyes unceasingly flashed with energy and vitality. Ning Dan looked at Xie Fei's gaze and felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Xie Fei shouted, "Disperse, quickly disperse, don't gather together."

However, regardless of whether it was the Imperial Guard Commander Yang Zuocheng or the General who watched over him, Peng Mo would not listen to the orders given to him by a commoner. Luckily, the Fly Zhang Clan managed to obtain Ning Dan's approval, causing their four hundred members to spread out in all directions.

Compared to the Luoyang, Sima Chi was wise. Other than fighting to the death, there was no other way. Now that Wang Jun had rebelled, Sima Chi could only rely on the army of the thorny history s from the other provinces.

At this time, the scouts of the Imperial Guards came to report. "Congratulations your majesty, congratulations your majesty." The's voice sounded very excited.

Seeing that, Sima Chi could not help but be taken aback. Then he asked, "What is the good news?"

Although Sima Chi still had a calm expression, he was actually already very happy in his heart. However, he did not express it out loud, but was happy in the depths of his heart. Sima Chi saw the scene in front of him, and immediately felt that something big was happening, but he did not have much hope for Yang Zuocheng, although he had sent 2,000 guards to support him on the battlefield, but he had no choice, furthermore, Yang Huanghou was the one who was trying to persuade him.

The commander of the scouts replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, not long ago, an urgent report came from the west gate, saying that hundreds of people are fighting shoulder to shoulder with our army to repel Wang Jun's rebel army. We will behead thousands of them and wound countless of them."

Sima Chi was wild with joy. This was the best news he had received since the start of the battle. After finally defeating the bandit army, he passed on his orders: All the officers and soldiers participating in the war will be promoted by one level, and be paid a salary of silver for half a year. "The army of unknown origin must also be rewarded."

"There were urgent reports from the soldiers just now saying that a large number of soldiers had surrounded the city!" The scout Academy Officer's tone was somewhat panicked.

Sima Chi's expression immediately changed. He found it hard to believe that such a thing had happened, and it was difficult for him to endure the change from heaven to hell. At this moment, Sima Chi's expression was extremely rich. Once they were on the city walls, Sima Chi looked out of the city and gasped for breath. It turned out that about five hundred paces from the city wall, there was a huge crowd, with hundreds of stone-throwing machines ready to go.

Everyone looked at Sima Chi, waiting for his wise decision.

Sima Chi frowned and was silent for a moment, then asked: "Has there been any news from the Liu Kun Army?"

The scout Academy Officer immediately shook his head, "No news! I'm afraid they're too far away to quench their thirst. "

The scout Academy Officer opened his mouth, but was speechless. He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, but he was at a loss of what to do. After a long while, he could only speak bitterly, and reluctantly nodded his head: "Yes, but what can we do? Suddenly, he realised that he was facing Jin Huaidi. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, "Your servant deserves to die, your servant deserves to die. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Sima Chi took a deep breath. Only now did he feel the seriousness of the situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "A tiger can't win against a pack of wolves, a real man can't handle a lot of people ah!"

The Academy Officer was afraid that he would anger Sima Chi, so he mustered his courage and spoke passionately: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, our soldiers are all together, we can block them with our own forces. Furthermore, the walls of the Luoyang City are sturdy, although there are many enemies, it is useless against our army!"

Suddenly, Xie Fei felt that something was amiss with the people around him. With a hu la sound, a gap opened up in the northwest corner of the group, and a large group of silver helmets and iron armor crossbow archers entered the stage in an orderly fashion, following closely behind the group of crossbow archers, there were also tens of soldiers dressed in red armor. The Jin Dynasty guards who were guarding the city all kneeled on the ground.

Xie Fei knew that yellow was a taboo that only the ancient people could wear, only the Emperor could wear it, the others wearing it was like a conspiracy, it was a serious crime that could even kill nine clans. In the Luoyang City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was probably no one who dared to wear a gold armor, and looking at the reaction of the crowd, Xie Fei knew that it must be the Jin Wai Di Si Ma.

What made Xie Fei moved was that Sima Chi actually remained calm when facing the siege of over ten thousand soldiers, as if the enemy in front of him had nothing to do with him. That kind of calmness that made others sigh in admiration. It seemed like the emperor still had some guts. At this time, Xie Fei's good impression of him increased.

The entire Zhuge Family was almost exterminated by the entire family. At this time, Ning Dan did her best to restrain her impulse, as she also wanted to kill Sima Chi immediately, but she knew that the meaning of Sima Chi's life was more meaningful than death. Don't underestimate Sima Chi who was protected by more than a hundred layers of elite soldiers.

When Sima Chi appeared, all of the soldiers on the city wall knelt down, but there was something unexpected, Ning Dan, Xie Fei and the four hundred Fly s were all standing straight, everyone secretly cursed in their hearts, and couldn't help but raise their heads to look. Xie Fei's expression did not look good, all the generals of the Fly glared, and sensing that the atmosphere was abnormal, Xiao Shun Zi scolded sternly: "Insolent servant, why did you not kneel when you saw the emperor?"

Little Shun Zi wanted to say something, but at this moment, "Hong! Hong!" The city gate was not as tough as the city wall. The Luoyang City gate was made of iron, and it was made from hard wood, so the huge rocks that weighed more than ten kilograms flew out like an earthquake. Only under the bombardment of a dozen or so huge rocks, the huge Luoyang City gate started to deform seriously.

Although Little Shun Zi was showing his fangs and brandishing his claws, he was actually more timid than anyone else. When had he ever seen this kind of formation before?

Everyone was silent and the atmosphere was heavy.

"Sigh!"

Sima Chi suddenly let out a heavy sigh! That heavy sigh was filled with his helplessness and anger, and it actually made him want to cry! "Although he is now the emperor, the city gate has already been destroyed. No one in the city is as miserable as he himself is." "It's a bit unexpected." Looking at the colossus that was wreaking havoc outside, Sima Chi said to himself with a heavy heart.

Sima Chi's sigh was nothing serious, but when the soldiers saw Sima Chi's helplessness, they also became dispirited, not daring to imagine how they could defeat him. In that moment, everyone was speechless.

In front of absolute strength!

All schemes and tricks were useless. These were military strategies that had been passed down for thousands of years, such as Sun Tzu's Military Strategy, the Thirty-six Stratagems, and so on. The news had already spread throughout the world! A plan flashed across Xie Fei's mind, but he could not think of an effective plan.

"If worst comes to worst, I will just serve the nation. If worst comes to worst, I will be a good man in 18 years, and will still be able to ravage those Huns!" Xie Fei, whose heart was already heavy, suddenly erupted like a volcano as he shouted sternly. After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Life is only a few decades, who is afraid of who! Speaking till the end, Xie Fei was even more heroic, his aura soaring to the skies!

Suddenly, a loud and clear sound of a bugle horn could be heard from afar.

"Howl."

whoosh whoosh whoosh * Bright arrows covered the sky as they flew towards him. Accompanied by bursts of miserable cries and howls of agony, they were shot out in all directions.

The heavy footsteps sounded like rolling thunder. The allied army formed a dozen or so offensive formations with every five thousand people, and advanced towards the Luoyang City at the same time. Under such a hopeless situation, it was extremely possible for them to erupt with a kind of morale.

As the saying goes, there is no limit to one's words. The allied army this time around had no less than seventy thousand people, so the war horn sounded. The army that covered the entire mountain and field, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, started to attack the Luoyang City from the east, west and south at the same time like a swarm of ants. Countless soldiers carrying the Sky Stairway ran to the city wall at the same time, and countless dense and neat rows of cavalrymen lined up outside the city. In front of them were countless archers, crossbow archers, and elite crossbow soldiers. The rain of arrows was like clouds as they rained down on the city wall, welcoming the same rain of arrows. In front of them was an axe-wielding axe soldier, a greatsword in one hand, and a giant shield infantryman.

Two hundred steps, a hundred and fifty steps, a hundred steps,

As soon as the enemy troops drew near, they entered the effective range of the crossbow arrows guarded by the Luoyang. Countless archers, strong crossbow hands, and arrows shot out from the walls of the Luoyang City. The rain of arrows had covered every nook and cranny, and after the first round, countless troops had fallen. Very big, the Luoyang City was also filled with shouts of slaughter and screams.

The siege wars were brutal and bloody. They were fought with the bodies of men and women! Like an ant, the infantry rushed towards the tall city walls like a torrent of steel, quickly smashing them into pieces. However, they still continued to attack ferociously without a care in the world.

The setting sun was as red as blood. The wind was blowing hard.

The sky was filled with flying arrows. The cold light brought about blooming flowers of blood as they were swung around by sharp blades. The rays of light carried waves of blood; corpses piled up like mountains as blood flowed into rivers. Even the city walls were dyed red.

Just at this moment, "Reporting to His Majesty!" "The east gate is in a hurry." A guard hurried over to report.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Sima Chi did not expect the east gate to be so easily broken. Just as Sima Chi was about to lose all hope, he realized that there was a tall and sturdy man dressed in a strange black outfit. That calm state of his caused his narrow and long single phoenix eyes to shine, especially the blade scar that ran across his face.

The gaze Sima Chi looked at Xie Fei with instantly changed. His gaze was like an old virgin looking at a peerless beauty, burning hot to the bone. Xie Fei was not a Burmese person, but he was also a little uncomfortable when Sima Chi saw him.

No matter how strong they were, they were forced to retreat by the endless number of enemies. If this continued, Xie Fei would not be able to do anything as he looked at the intense battle and fell into deep thought. He thought about how he would soon reach Xie Fei's side.

"How can I retreat when I thank my beloved official!" Sima Chi and Xie Fei were standing on the city wall side by side, looking down.

"At this rate, it's hard to say if we can hold on for another day."

Xie Fei said without turning his head. Hearing his calm tone, Sima Chi was furious, the slaughter outside was extremely cruel, yet Xie Fei said those words as if they had nothing to do with him. Sima Chi immediately felt very disappointed.

At this time, Xie Fei revealed a faint, devilish smile, and said indifferently: "It's not that there's no solution!"

Sima Chi was overjoyed upon hearing this, and shouted out: "Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Now, I suggest that we stop blocking at the city gates, and just let them enter the city, and then send an army to attack their base camp from the back." Now, I suggest we stop blocking at the city gates, and just let them enter the city, and then send an army to attack their base camp from the back. Xie Fei smiled and said confidently.

"Let them enter the city? We can't even rely on the city walls, so letting them enter the city won't be any worse. The enemy force is almost four times stronger than us, and their fighting capabilities are not something we can compare with. " Sima Chi said with a little exasperation and confusion.

Xie Fei said seriously: "I am not saying that we should give up the city gates completely. Rather, since the city gates have been lost, rather than fighting them head on at the city gates, it would be better to let a part of the troops into the city and then block the city gates. This is because, first, we have towers in the city to assist in our attacks, and secondly, we can make better use of our strengths! I don't know about the other armies, but I can see that the enemy forces are most adept at fighting with force, and there is no Formation in the army! If we fight head on, it will be very disadvantageous for us, but we can use the terrain to consume more enemy troops. "I don't know, but since we can't defend any longer, we might as well make the best use of the time we have. It would be better if we could consume more of the enemy."

Although Sima Chi didn't think that this was a good idea, he really couldn't think of any other way.

Sima Chi seemed to have understood something, and asked: "But we have a limited number of troops now, the best way to attack from behind are the cavalry, but the number of cavalry in Luoyang City is less than one thousand, how can we shake the enemy's close to seventy thousand cavalry?"

"I have cavalry soldiers, the cavalry soldiers started their journey two hours ago, and in fifteen minutes' time, they will be close to Luoyang. I have no time to care about the battles at the city gates. Xie Fei said confidently.

He had no other choice. Under normal circumstances, one who was attacking the city would suffer a lot more casualties than one who was defending the city, but because of the alliance's strong numbers and the large number of siege equipment, the morale of the troops of the Luoyang would drop before the battle.

At this time, in the western part of Luoyang City, there were over ten thousand elite black armored cavalry soldiers.

Beigong Chun spurred his horse to the front of the formation, one hand wielding his spear, one hand raised up into the air, while the other hand held up his fist, he shouted: "When the black robes attack, you are invincible!"

Over ten thousand Black Shirt Army s simultaneously roared out like wild beasts: "If the black shirt attacks, I will be invincible!" It was like a thunderclap on a sunny day. The morale was boosted.

The Black Shirt Army split into three groups and headed towards their respective targets.
