Chapter 605 Take Luyang 11
Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "In the war, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and once Luoyang is attacked, how important it is for our army, I think we will know it with filial piety."
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yes, the lord's words are. I'm too short-sighted. I'm a little reluctant to see too many soldiers dead and injured."
"It's not just filial piety, but I'm the same. These soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. They died under the city. How miserable it is."
"Why don't the lord organize soldiers to attack the city, open the gate, and welcome the army into the city?" Guo Jia doubted that this was a habitual method since the Xiliang Army sent troops, and it had been tried many times to conquer the two Xiongguan one by one.
"There are more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and Cao Ren, the general, is a famous general. It is impossible not to pay attention to his own safety. According to the news from the spies in the city, Cao Ren ordered the guards to protect the perimeter of the tent. Without his order, no one could approach, and the gate was also strictly guarded. Even the families in the city have contact with Cao Jun and secretly support Cao Ren. Jia Rong said.
"It's really a little timid." Guo Jia said disappointedly, "But the family in the city should not be underestimated."
"Ha ha, if you put such a thing on anyone, you will protect your own safety, and Cao Ren also understands his importance to Luoyang." Jia Rong's eyes suddenly said sharply, "Even if Cao Ren is under strict protection, I also have a way to conquer Luoyang. The soldier's blood will not flow in vain. If you pass the order, you can attack the three walls with all your strength and don't give the defenders any chance to breathe. As for the family, when Luyang is broken, it will be the day they regret it."
At this time, the moat outside Luyang City has been filled in three sides, and the defenders in the city have become a little difficult. After all, the Xiliang army has nearly 100,000 people, and they are only more than 10,000 people. After days of consumption, many soldiers have been seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness has weakened nearly 3,000 people, but the number of soldiers has been less than 10,000. It is a little difficult to protect the three-sided wall. The number of private soldiers in the family is indeed quite large, and it seems that the ability to guard the wall is insufficient, and it is difficult to ensure the implementation of the above orders under the high-intensity attack of the Xiliang Army.
Luoyang is not like a tiger prison. It can block the city gate. Before that point, Cao Ren will definitely not do that. He is waiting for the reinforcements of Cao's army. Once a reinforcements come, open the city gate and come to fight outside. The Xiliang army will be in chaos. Cao's army has no chance to win.
The Xiliang army attacked Luyang day and night, and the number of troops invested at one time reached 10,000. The three walls were attacked at the same time. The Thunderbolt car and the crossbow car poured down the city desperately. The soldiers were brave enough to die. Once they rushed to the wall, it was a fatal blow to the defenders on the city. In terms of weapons and equipment, no People can stand out from the right, and the soldiers are usually well trained. After attacking the city wall, the defenders are in a hurry, and there are private soldiers from the family in the middle, which is even more chaotic.
In just one month, the defenders showed their support. In the face of such a fierce offensive by the Xiliang army, Cao Ren was moved. There were only 5,000 defenders, including wounded soldiers. The Xiliang army paid a bigger price for this. They, who are the first army in the world, are no different from attacking the city wall and ordinary prince soldiers. They were hit by stones. It will still die and howling.
Such a siege consumes a lot of materials for the defenders. The arrows and boulders in the city are only enough for half a month. Without these advantages, the defenders can only meet the short soldiers of the Xiliang Army.
Unlike the Hulao Pass, the city of Luyang is high and the wall is thick. Even if the lone wolf soldiers want to climb the wall, it is impossible. The idea of sending soldiers into the city to attack has been cut off.
The soldiers on both sides gradually became angry. After all, they lost so many robes.
At this time, Cao's army is ready to gather and is rushing in the direction of Luoyang. In less than seven days, it can give support to the defenders in the city. At that time, no matter how strong the Xiliang army is, it is difficult to win Luyang. It can only return to Chang'an in dismay, like a tiger prison and water pass, which is also It will return to the hands of Cao Jun.
The construction of these levels is completely different from the outside. Attacking outside and inside the Hulao Pass is not at the same level at all. Cao Jun can easily capture the Hu Prison from the inside.
The speed of Cao's army made Jia Rong panic. He didn't want a year's gathering to be wasted, and the price of Cao's army was obviously less than that of Xiliang's army. The losses on the defending side and the attacking side were often one to two or even more.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and Jia Rong can't sleep peacefully. The success or failure will be revealed tonight. If this sneak attack is not successful, you can only retreat. Even the Xiliang army can't afford the continuous consumption. A crossbow car is expensive, and the consumption of the Thunderbolt car is also a huge amount. The soldier's armored weapons are not said. A battle is to compete for money and background. Let's see who has more money and is more willing to spend it on it.
Guo Jia and other important generals in the army were also quietly waiting for something in Jia Rong's tent.
For a long time, Zhao Yun broke the silence and said, "Lord, can you really succeed?" Zhao Yun has some doubts about the strategy proposed by Jia Rong. Although he has developed an extremely trusting attitude towards Jia Rong over the years, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of soldiers and the victory or defeat of attacking Luyang. Cao's army is only one day's journey from Luyang, and the vanguard troops may be able to arrive in the morning. Just like the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao is also They attach great importance to the development of cavalry. Therefore, there are many cavalry in the army. The equipment of the two sides is almost the same. In the face of such a situation, the Xiliang cavalry wandering on the battlefield can only constantly harass.
"I am confident that I can take down Luyang in World War I. Are General Lu and General Ma ready?" Jia Rong turned his eyes to Zhao Yun.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the gate of Luyang to be opened." Zhao Yundao said, I'm afraid that Cao Ren never dreamed that he wanted to wait for the arrival of the reinforcements and open the gate to welcome the army to enter the city, but he gave the Xiliang Army a chance to seize Luoyang. This was also the temporary decision Cao Ren made after knowing that Cao's vanguard army could arrive at dawn. Previously, the Xiliang Army The fierce offensive made Cao Ren completely block the city gate for a time, and then he lifted it himself.
It was already late at night. There was silence in Cao Jun's camp. Cao Ren was fully armored and sat on the handsome chair. Except for today, the rest of the time, the Xiliang Army was attacking fiercely. Such a high-intensity battle could not be neglected.
In the Xianlian Pavilion, Su Shuang's eyes suddenly sharpened and said to the servant beside him, "Take me to the secret room."
In the secret room, 300 people in black have already gathered. These people were secretly trained by Su Shuang at the sign of Jia Rong when he was in Luoyang, just to be useful one day. This time, Cao Ren exercised strict control over Xianlian Pavilion, but with the stalemate of the war, he gradually relaxed a lot, mainly Su Shuangtai. To be honest, the Cao soldiers who broke into the Xianlian Pavilion searched casually. Even if they took away a little thing, they would not argue. After a long time, Cao Ren had lost his original vigilance against him. He thought that Su Shuang was just a businessman planted by the Xiliang Army in Luyang. His existence is estimated to create more benefits for the Xiliang Army. Run, Cao Ren even thought that through Su Shuang, he could figure out the production method of Xianlian.
"Are you ready? The Lord's army will immediately enter the city, creating chaos in the city at all costs to prepare for the Lord's entry into the city. Su Shuangdao.
Three hundred people in black all claimed that their voices were low and echoed in the dark room.
Su Shuang trusts 300 people in black, because these people are all orphans adopted by Su Shuang over the years. They are loyal. Even if Su Shuang orders them to commit suicide collectively, they will not hesitate.
On the mountain not far from Luoyang, there are 500 soldiers waiting. They have no armor on their bodies and wear ring knives. These ring knives are all made of refined steel. They are absolutely hot things in the army, but now they are all hands.
"It's time, let's go." Jia Rong ordered.
The rumble of war drums sounded in the Xiliang army. On the three sides of the wall of Luyang, there were dense soldiers. With the sound of war drums, they launched an offensive against Luyang. After many days of attack, the soldiers seemed to have been used to such a life. Looking at the former companions falling down one by one, their hearts had already been filled with anger. The city wall is to kill one more enemy. At this time of war, few people care about life and death.
Such a war is a huge meat grinder for the soldiers and officers at the bottom. The low-level officers who can survive the war will be the lowest in the company commander and battalion commander in the future. It is also a temporary figure in the Xiliang Army. War is not only a test of the training results of military officers and soldiers, but also a person with aspirations. I want to take a shortcut to a high position.
"Warriors, are you ready? This is the last battle of the Xiliang Army. If we can't capture Luoyang, we can only go back to Chang'an and make the world laugh. Zhao Yun roared loudly.
"Kill, kill, kill." Thousands of soldiers roared in unison, and the voices kept echoing in the sky for a long time.
"King Liang is paying attention to you in the back. Usually, you claim to be the elite in the army, the tigers on the battlefield, the last battle, take out all your courage and take down the city." Zhao Yun roared.
Cao Ren has long known about the movement outside the city that he still has more than 8,000 soldiers in his hands. Although there are more soldiers from a family, it is more than enough to support the arrival of Cao's army.
"The last battle? Humph, everyone pull up the bow and arrow and let Xi Liangjun see it. Cao Jun is not easy to bully, and you are also warriors. Cao Rendao.
