Chapter 785 Burning
There is usually a principle in war, it is best not to play tricks if the national power can be crushed with certainty.

There are countless boats capsized in the gutter.

In the past, Yang Zheng thought that Luoyang was not important, but from the perspective of a traveler.

And Luoyang plays an important role in the minds of people of this era.

Otherwise, Cao Wei would not have moved his capital from Xuchang to Luoyang.

40 Qin troops rushed to Hanoi.

Wang Jun, the Jin general guarding Luoyang, is considered an old opponent.

After the Battle of Hedong the year before last, Yang Zheng's army approached the Yellow River, but was blocked by Shi Bao and Wang Jun.

However, Sima Yan had not moved the capital at that time, and Luoyang had soldiers and food.

The Yellow River roared violently and headed eastward mightily.

Wang Jun set up water camps at Mengjin Pass and Xiaopingjin Pass, and sentry boats sneaked in the river every day to inquire.

After firing several letters of persuasion, there was still no movement on the other side. Wang Jun did not cry when he saw the coffin, and Yang Zheng was not polite. He assembled the thunderbolt car by the river, put on fire and oil, and aimed at the water village on the other side of the Yellow River.

Wang Jun also had a premonition of the crisis, and the navy floated down from the upper reaches, trying to destroy the thunderbolt car in one fell swoop.

However, his navy has only two to three thousand people. In front of the 3000 Qin army, it is like an ant against an elephant.

Seeing the fortifications on the shore, the navy retreated after firing a few waves of arrows.

Since the focus was on attacking the mind, of course it was necessary to intimidate people to the maximum extent. Yang Zheng assembled more than 400 thunderbolt chariots on the north bank, and temporarily built more than 100 trebuchets.

All the fierce fire oil in Guanzhong was transferred.

"Give Wang Jun a meeting gift first!" Yang Zheng wrote lightly.

"Wei!" Pang Qing raised the command flag, and the messenger galloped away on horseback.

Then the battle drums roared.

More than 100 clay pots filled with water were thrown into the sky and flew towards the other side of the Yellow River.

On the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, on the mighty Yellow River, these black stones are too insignificant.

The strength and angle were not adjusted properly. Some artillery stones hit the water directly, while others flew over the enemy's water village and landed on Mengjin Pass.

Only a few of them smashed into the camp and fell apart, causing no substantial damage.

The Nan'an Jin army hid at first, and then jumped out one by one, stretching their necks and pointing, and a burst of ridicule came intermittently.

"What the hell is this? Why don't your subordinates rush over and chop off their dog's heads." Liu Heng spat.

The soldiers of the surrounding Qin army also disagreed and whispered.

"You know what a bird!" Yang Zheng cursed.

Isn't this guy best at playing with birds?There are more concubines in the family than in the palace.

Liu Heng was stunned, it took a while to understand, and he laughed twice.

The first wave was just test firing.

More than 600 thunderbolt cars and trebuchets are constantly adjusting the distance.

After half a stick of incense, Meng Guan came with his horse, "Your Majesty, you have already aimed."

"Don't be stingy with fire oil, as long as it works, no matter the cost, hit me hard!"

"only!"

The war drums sounded again, but this time it was more passionate, resounding on both sides of the Yellow River.

The soldiers on both sides of the strait watched eagerly, with some disapproving.

The command flag on the north bank suddenly fell, the thunderbolt car trembled in unison, and the clay pots whizzed across the sky.

More than 600 clay pots still look insignificant.

However, when the clay pot smashed into the Jin army's water village, it burst suddenly, and flames gushed out, devouring everything around it.

Wood, water, stone, armor, people...

Everything was engulfed in flames.

The Jin army's ridicules quickly turned into screams, and their bodies were also struggling and twisting in the flames...

As long as a little fire oil is applied, the flame will be like maggots on tarsal bones, and it will not be extinguished even if you jump into the water.

Alchemy is also a subject in the Great Qin Taixue, and countless alchemists and alchemists from all over the world poured in to increase the power of fierce fire oil, which is naturally a no-brainer.

The water village of the Jin army was instantly ignited.

But Qin Jun's thunderbolt chariot still didn't stop, and waves of fierce fire oil were thrown to the south bank, and even Mengjin Pass was ignited.

It seemed as though the whole south bank was ablaze.

The fire was overwhelming and spread to the Yellow River, and then the Yellow River was also ignited.

The flames soared into the air, and the black smoke billowed.

Qin Jun's thunderbolt chariots and catapults still kept on, throwing furious flames to the opposite bank frantically.

All the Qin soldiers held their breaths and concentrated, the impact of the fierce fire was too great for them.

Qianghu, Jidi, Yicong of the tribes in Mobei, etc. all opened their eyes wide.

Attack on the heart.

It is not only the hearts of the Jin army that are attacked, but also theirs.

Yang Zheng didn't mind showing Daqin's strongest and strongest side.

"Hooray! Hooray!"

Soon, the astonishment turned into cheers, first roared from the mouths of the Han army, followed by the Qiang people, and Di...

The entire North Shore followed suit.

Some people from Qiang, Jian, Ba, Xianbei and other tribes knelt by the Yellow River and bowed to the burning flames on the south bank.

Yang Zheng's desired effect has been achieved.

The fire burned for nearly two hours before it was slowly extinguished, and there were only twisted and charred corpses left on the south bank, with black ashes everywhere, and Mengjin Pass was also abandoned.

How can Wang Jun's defense line against the Yellow River withstand such sharp weapons as thunderbolt chariots and fierce kerosene?
The army crossed the river smoothly and marched towards Luoyang.

"How much fuel is left?" Yang Zheng asked quietly.

"Less than a thousand..." Meng Guan also responded in a low voice.

"What? Didn't I get more than 1 of them, and they disappeared in just two hours?"

It is quite troublesome to make, store and transport fierce fire oil.

In three or four months, less than [-] pieces were obtained, and more than half of them went out after World War I, and some were not dispatched from the rear.

"Your Majesty said that as long as the effect is effective, regardless of the cost, the minister, the minister will confiscate and stop...?" Meng Guan hesitated.

Yang Zheng was in pain for a while, but it would definitely take some price to create such a big momentum just now.

But Luoyang has to rely on human life to pile up.

Wang Jun is notoriously tough, and the only general in the Sima family who can show his strength, and he is greatly favored by Sima Zhao.

If he failed to surrender after persuading him so many times, he would rather die than surrender like Tang Bin.

Of course, whether Wang Jun surrenders or not will not change Luoyang's plight.

Luoyang is actually an isolated city.

Since Sima Yan moved his capital to Yecheng, he would never fight the Qin army here.

The 40 army slowly wound around Luoyang like a giant snake.

With [-] defenders under Wang Jun's command, it must be a bloody battle.

Since it is a battle to destroy the country, bloody and bitter battles must be indispensable.

Yang Zheng didn't want to take shortcuts.

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Liu Heng took the lead to ask for the battle as usual.

But someone was more anxious than him, Gou Xi knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Zheng, "This subordinate is willing to be a forward."

The younger you are, the more ambitious you are.

"Okay." Yang Zheng is willing to train young people, "For the purpose of beating the drums, if I can break the city, I will promote you to be the superintendent of the tent!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gou Xi blushed, and the surrounding generals looked envious.

The thunderbolt chariot was reassembled under the city. Although there was not much fuel for the fire, there were many stones near Luoyang, which could also attack the defenders in the city.

Rows of soldiers shine brightly in the summer.

"Breaking the city! Breaking the city!" Gou Xi slapped the shield with his sword around his head, making a booming sound.

A thousand elites behind him followed suit, "Breaking the city! Breaking the city!"

Looking at Luoyang under the scorching sun, Yang Zheng beat the first war drum.

"Kill!" Gou Xi yelled like a wild wolf, with her hair on her temples turned upside down.

However, before taking any steps, the gate of Luoyang's urn creaked open.

Wang Jun led a group of generals and schoolmen out naked...

With a "bang", Gou Xi's sword and shield were thrown on the ground, "Spineless!"
