Chapter 109 Siege of Luoyang 1 [Please collect]

When Liu Zhong came out of Huayan's house, his face was full of haggardness. Liu Zhong thought a lot of words to comfort Bi Yan, but it seemed to be useless at all. Huayan was still so sad, but if he could avenge his brother, Huayan would be better.

But how easy is this revenge? At least at present, Liu Zhong does not have the ability to avenge Hua Rong.

Liu Xia's army came over, and Liu Zhong began to feel the constant danger. In the face of Liu Xia's attack, if he was not prepared at all, he would definitely be directly disabled by Liu Xia. Maybe Luoyang's achievement will not be replaced by a new master in a few days.

Liu Zhong looked at everything in the Fuwang Mansion and was a little disappointed in his eyes. From the day he followed Li Zicheng's uprising to the surrender to the Qing army, Liu Zhong has experienced a lot of things. He has seen a lot of deaths and the wars he has participated in can't be counted. Now Liu Zhong is more concerned about his life. Tight.

The higher the status of people, the more greedy they are and afraid of death.

Liu Zhong doesn't want to die. There are hundreds of beautiful women in his harem. Which one is not delicate and beautiful? He can go to any beautiful woman's bed if he wants. How free he lives. If he dies, there will be nothing left, no money, no beauty, and no power.

"No, I can't die!"

Liu Zhong accelerated his pace to the study, where his most loyal subordinates were waiting for him.

When Liu Zhong received the news that the Hu Prison Pass had been broken, Liu Zhong called his own important men over, but when he heard that Bi Yan had fainted halfway, he interrupted the meeting and hurriedly went to visit Huayan.

"Squeak~~"

Liu Zhong opened the door of the study, and the seven or eight people inside were still waiting for Liu Zhong.

----

At this time, it is Shen time (from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.), and Liu Dazhuang has been waiting under Yanshi City for more than an hour.

The soldiers of the Hu Ben Regiment have got off their horses and camped ten miles away from Yanshi City, and Liu Dazhuang sent out more than half of his scouts to closely monitor the situation of Yanshi City.

Liu Dazhuang and Niu Yu were sitting in the Chinese army tent at this time, and they were thinking about how to enter the city with sad faces.

Although there are not many people defending the city in Yanshi City, his Tiger Corps now does not have any siege equipment and so many soldiers with siege experience. How did Liu Dazhuang attack the city? If it was a strong attack, I'm afraid that he would not have knocked down the division by then, and his tiger regiment would have been destroyed first.

"There are four gates in Yanshi City. If we don't have many troops, we can't divide our troops. We can only concentrate together."

Liu Dazhuang took a sip of the already cold tea on the table into his stomach.

Niu Yu frowned and said, "We have only about 1,000 troops at present, which is similar to the enemy in Yanshi City. With the same strength, we must lose a lot if we want to attack the city."

Liu Dazhuang answered with some distress and said, "I set up this Hu Ben regiment, and 70% of the soldiers in this Hu Ben regiment are new recruits, and most of them have no experience. Let them go to attack the city, alas."

"If those veterans are almost the same, at least they have fought a lot of battles, and they are all experienced."

Niu Yu sighed and said, "Most of the veterans have been selected into the Guards, but this can't blame the general. The Guards are indeed very important. Aren't these Guards around us who protect us all transferred from the Guards? If these guards are not strong, how can they protect the generals?

"There is also a 3,000 elite in the general's hand." Liu Dazhuang said.

Niu Yu said, "You mean the surrender?"

Liu Dazhuang nodded and said, "Yes, it is the surrender of the Qing army. Although these people are surrendered troops, their combat effectiveness is good, and they are all veterans who have survived a lot of battles. If these veterans come over, isn't it very easy to attack this Yanshi City?"

Niu Yu curled his lips and said, "Those are still surrendered by the Qing army, and the loyalty is still uncertain. The general will not dare to let us use it, and we dare not use it. By the way, Lao Liu, it seems that there is also an artillery team under the general.

Liu Dazhuang nodded and said, "Yes, there is an artillery team, which seems to be led by a man named Wang Xiaotong. There is a cannon in red and several tiger squatting cannons."

"Where is the general now? If you send someone to ask the general for help from the artillery, then..." Niu Yu took a look at Liu Dazhuang, and his intention had been revealed.

Liu Dazhuang immediately showed excitement in his eyes and said, "You mean to let the artillery attack the city?"

"Yes, why didn't you think of using artillery? Our army rarely used artillery before, so that we forgot that there were artillery in the battle. If there is the cover of artillery, it is not a problem to take Yanshi City. OK, I'll send someone to ask the general for artillery immediately.

After saying that, Liu Dazhuang immediately shouted outside the tent, "Come on!"

A personal guard came in and said, "I don't know what the regimental commander has ordered?"

Liu Dazhuang said, "You find a few scouts to find the general immediately, saying that you have encountered some trouble in Yanshicheng and want to ask the general for artillery for help!"

After saying "Yes", the personal guard quickly walked out.

"Hahaha, Brother Niu, if you hadn't reminded me, I really forgot that there was an artilleryman. If Yanshi City was attacked, then this achievement must be Brother Niu's!"

Niu Yu quickly got up and said, "Brother Liu can't say this. The last general just thought a little more. This skill is for the soldiers. In the future, we have to rely on the soldiers to attack the city desperately."

Liu Dazhuang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's the soldiers.

Liu Xia is about to reach the Hu prison pass. It only takes an hour to enter the pass. At this time, the people are resting in Fenshui County. Now Luoyang City has not been determined. These people can't enter the Hu prison pass. If Liu Zhonggou jumps over the wall and slaughters the people crazily at that time, it will be bad. And leaving these people in Fenshui County, Liu Zhong can't get in touch with these people, because there is a tiger prison, so he doesn't have to worry about the safety of these people. Although it is outside the customs, you don't have to worry about the Qing army coming. At this time, the Qing army can't pass.

What's more, Fenshui County is next to Hu'ao Pass. If there are any poles or something here, the generals of Hu'o Pass can come directly and quickly.

After arranging those people, Liu Xia left the new barracks with 5,000 people, 3,000 surrendered troops, and 2,000 newly recruited recruits. He took the Guard Corps, the Wolf Roar Camp and the Lion Camp to the Tiger Prison.

At this time, there is only one weakest battalion of the Tiger Corps guarding in the Hu Prison Pass, and the battalion commander's name is Li Qiang. After knowing Liu Xia's arrival, he immediately opened the gate to welcome Liu Xia into Guanzhong.

Liu Xia asked Li Qiang, "What's the progress of the Hu Bentuan now?"

Li Qianggong, the commander of the third battalion of the Tiger Corps, said respectfully, "Try to the general that now that the Tiger Regiment has reached the city of Yanshi, it will attack Yanshi immediately, and then it will continue to attack Luoyang in the west."

Just as Liu Xia was about to speak, a harsh horseshoe sound suddenly sounded.

It was two scouts rushing, and the soldiers made way one after another, because they all knew that the scout must be the people from the front line, and the military order could not be delayed.

The two scouts stopped more than ten meters away from Liu Xia, and then turned over and got off the horse and quickly walked towards Liu Xia.

The two bowed to Liu Xia respectfully and said, "Told the general, front-line news."

Liu Xia said indifferently, "Say!"

The scout said, "Liu Dazhuang, the commander of the Hu Ben Regiment, asked the general for instructions to transfer the general's artillery team to help. At this time, the city is strictly defended, and it is difficult to easily attack the city."

Liu Xia asked, "How is Liu Dazhuang now?"

The scout said, "General, at this time, the regimental commander and deputy regimental commander are stationed ten miles away from Yanshi City, and a large number of scouts are scattered around Yanshi City. Now even a mosquito can't get out of Yanshi City."

"It's just that it's not easy for the division city to attack in the strict defense, so the regiment commander and the deputy commander discussed it and borrowed artillery from the general."

Chen Liu next to him said, "General, most of the Hufen Regiment are new recruits. They have no experience in attacking the city at all, and now they do not have siege equipment. It is difficult to attack the city in a well-defended division. Moreover, this artillery has not been used many times for a long time, and it has shelled Kong Youde's army once when Kong Youde attacked. It has been rarely used. The general should let the artillery flourish and can't hide it.

Why didn't Liu Xia know how powerful the artillery is? In the future, the world will be full of muskets and cannons, but at this time, the artillery is very bulky, and it is a little difficult to move. Today's artillery is built on the wall to defend the enemy, instead of the two wheels of cannons pulling behind the armored car like the future.

At this time, Wang Xiaotong, the captain of the artillery brigade not far away, immediately stepped forward and said, "General, please help Captain Liu!"

This is Wang Xiaotong's first time to ask for orders. He has never had it before. At this time, he was worried and didn't know what Liu Xia thought of him. However, for the sake of the brothers of the artillery, he had to face the scalp. The brothers in the artillery were shouting about the war and meritorious service. As the captain, he should come to beg for the soldiers.

Liu Xia glanced at Wang Xiaotong and immediately tightened Wang Xiaotong's body. Then Liu Xia smiled and said, "Well, that's right. In this case, Wang Xiaotong, you take the artillery brigade to quickly take the artillery to Yanshicheng!"

Wang Xiaotong immediately said seriously to Liu Xia, "Yes! Absolutely complete the task!" After saying that, Wang Xiaotong left in a hurry and began to prepare to go to Yanshi.

For a moment, Liu Xia and the generals went to the Tiger Prison Pass. Liu Xia said as he walked, "According to the plan, the Wolf Xiao Battalion went to Yiyang and the Lion Battalion went to Mengjin. There were not many generals in these two counties. Your battalion of soldiers and horses were enough. After taking it, leave a brigade, and then quickly move forward to Luoyang. At that time, Luoyang will join forces!"

"Yes! The task will definitely be completed in the end"
