Chapter 535

As soon as the audience heard this, they felt like a hornet that had blown up its nest. The study sounded "buzzing..." The sound of the sound.

"Lord," Yang Hong said, "whatever the reason, we must take back Luyang as soon as possible. Otherwise, after a long time, general Jiling's army will collapse without fighting."

"It's true, but Wancheng has only 30000 troops. If you want to recapture Luyang, you need at least 50000 to 80000 troops. In this way, you have to transfer troops from the county towns. In addition, you have to order the cities to recruit more troops. This time, you should not move lightly. It takes time for the troops to gather in each city. Please give an order immediately." Yan Xiang went to the front road;

"the last general is willing to lead the army and take back Luyang for the Lord!" When Zhang Xun saw this, he quickly stepped forward;

the other generals saw that Zhang Xun had already taken the lead. Although they were helpless, they still stood up to fight.

As soon as Yuan Shu saw it, he said happily: "well, all the generals will march forward bravely, and they are afraid that little Lu Yang will not be able to go down. If the order goes on, all the cities in Nanyang will reserve 1000 elite soldiers to guard the city. Within two days, all the other soldiers will be transferred to pheasant county to meet. All the cities can recruit new soldiers to make up 5000 soldiers. After gathering 60000 troops, he ordered Zhang Xun as the main general and Chen Ji as the deputy to lead the troops to Luyang, and recaptured Luyang county within five days. The rest of the soldiers were used to supplement the troops of Wan county. "

"The end will take orders!" Zhang Xun and Chen Ji listen, happy to come forward to receive orders.

The other generals looked at them with envy. In everyone's opinion, the 60000 army's attack on a small county town is just around the corner. Not only the generals, but also Yuan Shu thought that Zhang Xun was captured by hand. However, the fall of Luyang reminded Yuan Shu that there were only 30000 soldiers in Wancheng, which seemed not very safe, so he took the opportunity to transfer all the elite soldiers from the county below. Under the rule of Nanyang, there were 37 cities. In addition to the southernmost counties controlled by mu Liubiao of Jingzhou, 28 other counties were under the control of Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu had drawn two armies in front of them, there were still four to five thousand armies in each city.

In this way, Yuan Shu can dispatch 60000 to 80000 troops from each city. Besides the 60000 troops taken away by Zhang Xun, 20000 troops can be added to Wancheng. In this way, the number of garrison in Wancheng can reach 50000. As long as there is no accident, it will be enough to defend for half a year under the attack of 100000 troops. However, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses distributed in more than 20 cities needed to gather in a day. It was not until Yuan Shu set a deadline that Zhang Xun gathered 50000 troops. But Yuan Shu could not wait. So he ordered Zhang Xun to lead the army first, and the other 30000 troops to Wan City first. If the siege was not good, he would send troops again.

Let's look back at the war in Luoyang. Since Luoyang cavalry sent troops to destroy the siege equipment of Nanyang army, Ji Ling stopped the siege for a day because of the lack of equipment and the exhaustion of soldiers after the siege for many days. The army was resting, but the craftsman camp was stepping up the manufacture of siege equipment. However, because the difficulty of making the catapult is much higher than that of the siege ladder and Jinglan, Ji Ling simply stopped making the catapult. What he didn't expect was that this was exactly what the Luoyang garrison wanted.

That night, Huangfu Chaobo received the results of the battle in Longhua town. The battle in Longhua made everyone very happy. He did not expect that the battle in Longhua was so smooth. After learning that Zhao Yun had taken 6000 horses and 20000 horses to help him in the starry night, everyone was relieved. In this way, Pang Tong's second strategy was perfect. A few days later, Zhang Yang's tens of thousands of troops could no longer be a threat to Luoyang. Immediately, Huangfu Chaobo sent Pang Tong's plan on Luoyang war to Longhua and zhaojiacun, along with the appointment of Zhao Yun as Yingyang Zhongying general. At the same time, that night, Huangfu Chaobo ordered huyandu to lead 4000 Huben cavalry out of the city quietly from the south gate, and then put the cavalry in Gongxian County, waiting to join Zhao Yun's army.

The next day, because Nanyang army didn't attack the city, Hanoi army also took a rest day, the whole Luoyang city fell into a strange quiet.

On the third day, after a day's rest, the two princes attacked the Luoyang City Wall again, only to find that the whole outer city wall was empty. At first, the main general who attacked the city walls thought it was the trick of Luoyang garrison, but after repeated confirmation, he found that Luoyang army had retreated from the inner city. Combined with the Luoyang army's desperate action to destroy the siege equipment of Nanyang army the day before, Ji Ling came to the conclusion that the garrison couldn't last long. Later, Ji Ling spread the news to the army, and the morale of the two princes' soldiers rose nearly ten points.

In the afternoon, the four walls of the outer city of Luoyang fell into the hands of the two princes, and then the army drove into Luoyang, ready to organize troops to attack the inner city. However, as soon as he entered the city, Ji Ling found that it was not as simple as he thought. The whole outer city was still in ruins. Even the main road of the outer city was destroyed by the Luoyang army, and he could not march at all, let alone deliver siege equipment to the city. As a result, several armies entered the city, while sorting out the roads, slowly pushed towards the inner city. As a result, it took two days for Zhou Tai to lead the army to attack Luyang.

High morale after two days to sort out the road, back to the state of Luoyang. It took two days for the two armies to attack the inner city. But when they were ready to fight in the morning, the four gate generals found that there were dozens of wells on both sides of the four gate towers overnight. There were nearly 20 wells on each side with a distance of 50 steps between the two wells. So, it's not surprising that the four walls were covered with wells There are more than 100 wells. This change makes everyone dumbfounded, although helpless, but Ji Ling still issued an attack order. After the sound of a low trumpet, the battle drums of the four walls began to ring one after another. Knowing that the attack behind would not be easy, the two armies of princes launched an attack on the inner city wall without hesitation.Sure enough, in less than half an hour, although the moat in the inner city was not as wide as that in the outer city, the Nanyang army in the western city lost nearly a thousand soldiers just by filling out five siege routes. This shows how fierce the defense at the head of the city is. Even so, after the siege channel was filled out, Ji Ling soon ordered the siege soldiers to attack the city with ants. With a single order, the siege ladder attacked the city under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers. At the same time, the siege vehicles and well rims that were transported into the city these two days also began to drive into the city wall under the protection of the soldiers.
