Chapter 944: Luo Chaocheng
Zhou Di
In general, the most important thing about the capital of Zhou is Luoyang. Although this place is no longer as prosperous as before, its geographical location is extremely important. If the Zhou area is lost, Qin can go north and attack Yiyang on both sides. In March, the entire territory within the east of Han will be lost in the hands of Wei and Qin, which can be said to have strangled Han Yi's throat.
Luochao City is a new city. It is a checkpoint set up by Lan Yu in front of Luoyang Pass based on geography and built on the mountain to control the advantage of Qin's military strength. There is no plain here and the terrain is steep. If you want to pass by it, you must die for a lifetime. The trees at the bottom of the mountain! The edge of the mountain is like a sword inserted upside down on the ground. Looking down, it is creepy.
If the Qin soldiers did not attack this city, the food routes of the Qin soldiers would be in great danger. The city walls were small and could not accommodate a large number of soldiers. If they were attacked for forcibly, they would either die or be injured. This pass was the same as Hangu Pass. If a man wanted to advance east, he would either fight from here or take a detour from Shangyong and go from south to north, but the journey was long and time-consuming.
The Qin State had already divided its troops into two groups. One was led by Bai Qi to attack Shangdang head-on, and threatening Yue Fei's troops were just to restrain Yue Fei's troops and create opportunities for Wang Jian below.
Wang Jian had 150,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. His men and horses were no ordinary people who dared to fight.
Half a month later
Wang Jian stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at Luochao City. The more he looked, the more embarrassed he looked. He pressed the sword in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, but his expression was simple.
"Father!" Wang Ben, standing behind Wang Jian! Wang Yanzhang! Wang Yantong and the other two walked up to the city wall and looked at Wang Jian who was frowning with a look of confusion. In their eyes, Wang Jian has always been a general who is invincible and invincible. When will it be so difficult?
Wang Jian looked at the three people behind him and said for a while: "But there is news from the city!"
"Yes! There are 30,000 people stored in this city! The guard is former Zheng's last general Zhang Liao! and Lu general Zhang He! There is also an unknown Xu Huang!" Wang Ben handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Wang Jian and said with a serious expression.
"Yeah!" Wang Jian looked shocked, picked up the bamboo slips in his hand, took the main slips in Wang Ben's hand, glanced up and down, stroked his beard, as if thinking.
"Father, I will build another one! Attack first! Try their defense! If not, find another way!" Wang Yanzhang also knew the importance of this city. No matter how difficult it is, let's try it first.
Wang Jian looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, closed his hands for a while and said, "Well, they are just some unknown people! I am still afraid that he will not succeed! I will tell you that Zhou Dewei, Che Ying, Li Mi, and Wang Bo will be the five of them as pioneers. Let's test it for the time being!"
"promise!"
"Gather the troops! Hurry! Gather the troops! Ha... Hurry!" Wang Yanzhang agreed to Wang Jian, and he became excited.
The mobilization of tens of thousands of people was quite loud. Zhou Dewei, who was sitting in the big tent and putting on armor, stroked his beard, and read the bamboo slips carefully with the military books, as if he was not attentive to his own affairs, and was calm and composed.
"General! Under the order of the general, the general ordered the general to send troops to attack the city." A young general came with a conscription.
Zhou Dewei took a sip of tea, then put down the bamboo slips in his hand, threw them aside, rubbed his wrists, took the order and put them on his waist and said, "I understand!"
"I'll leave at the end!"
Zhou Dewei clapped his hands, walked towards the weapon stand, took the weapon away, and said for a while: "What a baby! Look at me, I'll take you back to my hometown!"
Under Luochao City, the danger of this city is that the city wall has three sides, guarding the entire road, like a giant, spreading his hands, sitting on both sides, his chest pressing forward, and holding tightly against the front. The corners of the city on both sides are covered with strong bows and crossbows! If you attack the city without heavy losses! This time there is a ghost.
And whether you can go up is a question. If you want to pass through this city, the only passage is the stone staircase below, and when you go down, you will be a cliff. If you go to the direction, you will inevitably be broken into pieces.
Zhou Dewei's face changed when he looked at the terrain. This was not a big tent. It was just a life-threatening thing. He didn't know that there was such a city this week.
Zhou Dewei said embarrassedly: "Charge! Those who climb the city first! Bounty of three hundred! Official promotion is three levels"
"Kill!" The soldiers under their command didn't think much about it, and they just thought of getting rid of chicken blood. They held the weapons in their hands and pushed them up.
Li Mi and Wang Bodang, who were standing beside him, rode slowly on war horses, looked at the layout of the city, and his face changed: "How can this be a siege? This is completely filled with life!"
Li Mi narrowed her eyes, didn't know what she was thinking, and said for a while: "Since that's the case! Then attack!"
Li Mi didn't care. These were not direct troops, and they didn't have much to do with him after death. Anyway, he didn't feel sorry for him, but he could still gain a reputation as a hero and good at fighting.
On the city wall, Zhang Liao's tiger eyes stared at the bottom, his face as deep as water, but he was still calm. The tiger eyes looked down at the bottom and snorted coldly: "Arrow ready!"
"drink!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers were all lit their bows and arrows, aiming at the soldiers under the city. Thousands of people ran up and walked into the flat ground. Although they didn't know why these people didn't shoot arrows, for the sake of the credit, they all rushed towards the city gate like crazy dogs.
"Let me go!" Zhang Liao sneered.
"Swish...swish...swish...swish!" The bows and arrows on three sides shot out at the same time, and arrows fell like rain.
One of the young players changed their faces and quickly raised the shield in their hands, only to hear: "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
All the arrows in front were blocked by him, and he immediately laughed and said, "But that's it!"
But in just three seconds, soldiers radiated one after another on the female wall, waiting for one arrow! This guy could not die anymore.
Che Ying was the first to climb the city wall at this moment, his face changed, and he shouted: "Hurry! Make a round shield and defend!"
"Ha!" I saw dozens of people in groups, taking out shields, uniting them together, and protecting them tightly.
"Ding Ding Ding Dangdang..." several times, all of them were defended, with little effect.
Zhang Liao supported the city wall with both hands, carefully watched the changes of these Qin soldiers, and stopped and said, "Stop! Prepare for the Rolling Stones and Raywood!"
"No! Drink!"
Che Ying hid under the four cities, with an embarrassing face. Such bows and arrows shot at the angles have no blind spots. If you continue to fight, it will only increase casualties. Che Ying said with embarrassing face: "The whole army obeys the order! Retreat!"
"Retreat!" The group slowly retreated backwards this time and disappeared at the corner of the city!"
Chapter completed!
