The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 811 Luoyang Attack and Defense War

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Qiyuan, it was supposed to be the busiest day in the New Year, but when the king of Yue's army was under pressure, Luoyang was deserted. In the past few days, the dark clouds of the war have never spread over the city. The tension and depressing atmosphere in the city are increasing day by day. Under pressure, various versions of rumors The rumors spread wildly in the city like wildfire, and people's hearts were panicked because of this. Fortunately, the appropriate handling of Luobin King Yin in Luoyang Prefecture, coupled with the full cooperation of "Ming Di", finally forcibly controlled the situation by means of Thunderbolt. Of course, this is just an emergency treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause. If it can't break through the army of the King of Yue. During the siege, the chaos in the city may suddenly break out at some point.

The hearts of the people have always been fickle. Even if Li Xian has given a lot of kindness to the people since he became the crown prince, Luoyang City is really too big. Later, the party and the King of Yue have also operated in Luoyang for too long. It is deeply rooted, and it is really difficult to uproot in a short time. There are so many people spreading rumors in secret. If you want to It is not easy to collect the hearts of the people. Li Xian knows this truth better than anyone else. Therefore, he did not interfere in the rectification action of Luo Binwang at all, but devoted all his energy to combat readiness and tried his best to consolidate the city defense. At the same time, the army of the Yuewang under the city was not idle, although he did not launch a siege war. But the sound of building siege equipment is ringing day and night, and the days have passed in the tense confrontation between the two sides.

There is no war for three days, which seems to be a fortunate thing. After all, every day passes, it means that the Hexi army is one step closer to Luoyang. If it is someone else, I'm afraid that they will be secretly happy because of it, but Li Xian can't be happy. It's nothing else, just because Li Xian knows very clear that the matter of Hexi reinforcements must not be hidden from Li Zhen, so The only difference is that Li Zhen doesn't know the specific arrival time of the Hexi Army, but anyway, Li Zhen dares to spend three days preparing siege equipment under the threat of the Hexi Army, which means one thing - Li Zhen is sure to quickly take Luoyang City after launching the offensive! Where does this confidence come from? This makes Li Xian a little elusive.

In the past three days, the army of the king of Yue has been busy, and Li Xian is also not idle. He not only strengthens the city defense, but also the investigation of the camp of the king of Yue has never stopped. In Li Xian's opinion, the king of Yue has three points, surrounded Luoyang City on three sides, and alone the north of Luoshui. This is the standard siege. It is not very strange. In a clever way, the three camps are very strict, and the light and dark whistles are also arranged quite reasonably, so that Li Xian's side does not dare to launch a night attack easily. However, in addition, it is no longer possible to see how much advantage the Yue Wang side has. At least Li Xian can't understand the confidence in Luoyang in the battle of the king of Yue.

Do you have a military advantage? That's right. The king of Yue's army of more than 120,000 is indeed not small, and its training level is also elite. The problem is that this army has never been in battle. No matter how strong it is, it is very limited. In fact, it is impossible to play 60% of its strength. No matter how you look at it, you can't find the possibility of winning Luoyang in a short time. Sex, if you insist on saying that there is, there is only one - the inside should be combined with the outside! The problem is that Pei Shoude and others have been killed. The power of the King of Yue in the city has already been destroyed. How can he respond to the inside and outside? Otherwise, there is only one answer left - Li Zhen is too arrogant!

Is it possible? It's really a little bit. Thinking of the situation when the king of Yue rebelled against martial arts in his previous life, Li Xian knew that Li Zhen was known as a soldier. In fact, he had never been in battle in his life. What he was good at was just talking about soldiers on paper. There may be a set of training, but in the battle array itself, it was strange. He had a twelve-to-one advantage in his hand, which could not protect this man. I really became blindly confident.

"Report, Your Majesty, Xiangzhou Emergency!"

At three o'clock, Li Xian was silently watching the camp of the King of Yue at the head of the city, but he saw Luo Tong running in a hurry and reported breathlessly.

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard the letter from Xiangzhou, Li Xianxin moved, whispered, reached out to take over the small copper tube handed over by Luo Tong, skillfully twisted the dark buckle on it, took out the secret letter full of words from the inside, and swept it quickly, with a gratifying smile on his face - Xiangzhou City has been Li Boya The army conquered, and the Youzhou army's 45,000 soldiers and horses were killing Tangzhou at high speed, completely cutting off the back road of Li Zhen's troops!

"Wang Fangming!"

After reading the secret letter, although Li Xian was excited, he soon regained his composure and drank indifferently.

"Weichen is there!"

Since the case in Luzhou, Wang Fangming has been appreciated by Li Xian. In the forced palace incident a few days ago, he has made a big comeback. Now he has been transferred to the secretary of Li Xian. He is able to follow Li Xian closely. In the past few days, he has been attentive to serve and always keep an awake mind. At this time, he listens to Li Xian. After calling his own name, he immediately stood out of the crowd and answered loudly.

"I passed on my order to tell the whole city that Xiangzhou has been broken by General Li Boyao, and the back path of Li Zhen's old thief has been broken, and it is already the turtle in the urn! In addition, prepare more quiver bags and list this matter on the silk cloth. I will be of great use!"

Li Xianxu raised his hand and motioned Wang Fangming to be exempted from etiquette, and then he ordered awe-inspiringly.

"No, Weichen obeys the order!"

As soon as he heard that Xiangzhou was broken, Wang Fangming was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic. He answered quickly and hurriedly ran down the gate tower to arrange the relevant matters without mentioning it.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."

Wang Fangming just left. Before Li Xian could turn around, there was a sad sound of horn behind him. Immediately, there was another rumbling sound of war drums. The closed door of the Yue King's Army opened, and a team of soldiers lined up neatly lined up from the gate of the camp, and many people shouted. The trumpet pushed dozens of tall siege ladders, catapults, large crossbow carts and other siege equipment out of the camp gate. At the same time, the two battalions in the west and south of the Yue army also began to march, and the war that had been delayed for several days was about to begin!

"Your Majesty, the war is about to start. The soldiers here are in danger. Please avoid it for the time being. The general will definitely defend the city to the death!"

Zhang Mingwu is a general in a hundred battles, and defending the city is his specialty. Seeing that the army of the King of Yue is so fierce, he immediately made it clear that the army of the King of Yue is going to launch a general attack today. He couldn't help but worry that Li Xian would be in danger at the head of the city. He quickly grabbed it from the side and admonished loudly.

"Your Majesty, what General Zhang said is very true. Please avoid it for the time being. The last general is willing to defend the city to the death!"

"Your Majesty, the last general will fight for his life, and he will never let the thief go to the city for half a step. Please come back temporarily."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will fight to the death!"

......

The people present are all the troops led by the East Palace Guard. They have been following Li Xiandu for many years. They are all loyal people. No one wants to see Li Xian hurt. Hearing Zhang Mingwu's words, everyone has made a statement.

"You don't have to say any more, the city is here, and I am here!"

Li Xian has never doubted about the loyalty of the guards, but he can't retreat. It's just because of the battle of defending the city and morale first. If he wants to withstand the strong attack of the King of Vietnam with weak forces, as the commander of the whole army, Li Xian must set an example. Of course, in terms of Li Xian's martial arts practice, except for fire In addition to the weapon, there are very few weapons that can threaten his life, and you don't have to worry too much about your own safety.

"People are in the city, and they fight to the end!"

Seeing Li Xian's words, the guards of the East Palace were all excited. A few years ago, the heroic spirit of crossing the plateau under Li Xian's command suddenly burst out, and the whole army roared in unison. Soon, the people who went up to the city to defend were also infected, and then roared like thunder, straight out of the sky!

"Well, he is really an actor. He can't cry without seeing the coffin! Pass the order of the orphan, speed up, and array!"

As soon as she heard the thunderous shouting in the city, Li Zhen's face suddenly looked a little uncomfortable. She curled her mouth and ridiculed coldly. After that, she suddenly raised her tone and issued the order to set the array.

With Li Zhen's order, the sound of drums suddenly burst out. In the drum corner competition, the army of the King of Yue, who had been advancing forward in an orderly manner, suddenly began to accelerate. In a short time, it had arrived at a place away from the city and put on a strong offensive formation. However, he saw a catapult and a large crossbow car arranged in unevenly, and dozens of tall clouds. The ladder stands towering, and in the front is more than 300 river-filling trucks. This array is divided into five square arrays: front, left and right, middle and back. There are many knives and guns, and the killing spirit rises. The formation is extremely strict, showing strong combat effectiveness.

"Who dares to take the lead in taking the city?"

Looking at such a heroic position on his side, Li Zhen, who stood in the Central Army, was extraordinarily complaous. Of course, he also had enough reasons to be complabased. For the current day, he has been preparing for 20 years and painstakingly played the strategy of hiding more than once, exhausting almost all the floating wealth. Finally, he has trained a strong soldier who can be proud of the world, at least in his opinion. Now, it's finally time to harvest the fruits of victory. How can Li Zhen not be complacent? She looked around at the generals in front of him and shouted loudly.

"Father, I'm willing to fight!"

"The last general, please attack!"

"The last general is willing to go!"

......

Li Zhen has made a lot of effort in this army. All the generals in the army are Li Zhen's confidant. When he asked, not only Li Chong stood up, but also the generals beside him were not willing to show weakness. The voice of the war immediately sounded.

"Well, okay, Gan Zhuangwu, Gu Linger leads 8,000 steps of the headquarters as the vanguard, Li Su, your department as a cover, and the rest of the generals follow Gu Guan array and are ready to respond at any time!"

Although Li Zhen has never been in the battle, after all, she has read a lot of military books. She knows the tragedy of the siege and definitely refuses to let her parents and children take this risk. Regardless of Li Chong's face, she made a heroic appearance and rushed to the air. With a wave of her hand, she issued an order to attack loudly.

"No! The last general is waiting for the order!"

Gan Zhuangwu was the first tough general under Li Zhen's command, and Li Su ranked second. Both of them were warlike. Hearing that Li Zhen handed over the heavy responsibility to him, there was no unhappy reason. He responded to the promise in unison and ran back to this array. In a moment, the sound of horns and command, the two Yue royal armies began. In the front pressure, an offensive and defensive battle began...
