I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 213 Attacking and defending Luoyang
Chapter 213 Attacking and defending Luoyang
And when they came up, the four gates attacked at the same time, which did not give Li Shimin a chance to breathe.The thunderbolt car hit the artillery fire and shelled the south gate violently, as if trying to open the gap from the south gate.
Since he tasted the sweetness in Hulaoguan, Cao Cao wanted to repeat the same trick in Luoyang.
Naturally, Li Shimin would not let the same mistakes at Hulao Pass repeat this time. As soon as the enemy dispatched the thunder chariot, Li Shimin immediately let his catapult start to counterattack, and fiercely bombarded the enemy's thunder chariot.
Soon Cao Jun's thunderbolt car failed to fire, and Li Shimin's projectile car naturally suffered a lot of losses, and they also withdrew from the battlefield. As a result, the long-range firepower of both sides stopped attacking.
Without long-range bombardment, it can only be head-to-head.
The wide moat is a natural moat, which makes Cao Cao's attack extremely difficult. Across the moat, the clouds can't build on the city wall at all, so the places to attack are very limited. Even if there are many troops, it is difficult to give full play to their advantages.
There is only one way to storm the city gate, but the enemy's firepower at the city gate is concentrated, bed crossbows and crossbow bolts fly down like they don't need money, rolling wood and thunder stones are also various greetings, and Cao Cao's strong attacks are easily repelled several times .
After discussing with Huang Fusong, Guo Jia and others, Cao Cao decided to adopt an offensive strategy of four positives and twelve odds, so that the Bingzhou Army could take care of one thing and lose another.
Cao Cao divided the army into four, corresponding to the four sides of Luoyang City. Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahouyuan, and Xiahoudun each led more than [-] troops and were responsible for attacking the area.
Each general is responsible for storming the corresponding city gate.
There are twelve gates in Luoyang City, of which there are 3 gates on the east and west sides, 2 gates on the north side, and 4 gates on the south side, followed by: Xiamen, Gumen; Shangdongmen, Zhongdongmen, Yanmen; Kaiyangmen , Pingcheng Gate (Pingmen), Xiaoyuanmen, Jinmen, Guangyangmen, Shangximen and Yongmen.
The city gate is the most vulnerable place to be attacked by the enemy, and the success or failure of the city gate is directly related to the success or failure of the city defense battle.Therefore, facing Luoyang, which has strong city defenses, Cao Cao decided to focus on attacking these twelve city gates.
Under the strict protection of thousands of shield soldiers, one after another rushed to the twelve city gates without hesitation against the sharp rain of arrows from the enemy.
At the same time, Cao Jun also carried out long-range cover. Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the crossbowmen walked a hundred meters forward, stretched their bows and set arrows, and the dense rain of arrows, with endless killing spirit, shot towards the city from all directions and hit the defenders. .
The defenders on the city counterattacked immediately, using arrows against arrows, and fired all arrows at the enemy below the city. Both sides came and went, causing mutual casualties.However, Cao Jun had a shield, and the Bingzhou Army had a city wall to cover them, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Under the mutual long-range attacks of the two sides, under the tight protection of the shield soldiers, a car rushed towards the city gate aggressively.
Seeing this, the city gate guard hurriedly mobilized the bed crossbow to focus on attacking the rushing chariot.
"Ding ding ding..." The powerful crossbow arrows fired by the bed crossbow hit the enemy's shield, but were bounced off, not piercing the enemy's iron shield.
It turned out that the shield soldiers of Cao Jun had changed into heavy armor. Although Cao Jun was seriously injured by the huge crossbow and vomited blood, but fortunately he saved his life, and he was still brave and fearless, and rushed to the city gate.
Seeing that the enemy was about to rush towards the city gate, the captain guarding the gate didn't seem to panic at all, and shouted: "Come on, bring the things here, this time I will make Cao Jun unable to eat and walk around."
The defenders braved the enemy's arrow rain and carefully carried them. More than a dozen black jars were transported to the top of the city. !"
A group of soldiers threw more than a dozen jars from the top of the city, "clang..." In an instant, there was a clear and crisp sound of porcelain shattering.
The enemy soldiers under the city were very puzzled. The things thrown down did not seem to be giants like rolling trees and thunder stones, so they were easily blocked.
Soon bursts of strong wine fragrance wafted out, and it turned out that what was thrown down was a jar of strong wine.
At the beginning, Cao Jun was still a little confused, so he smelled the strange smell of wine curiously, and soon some soldiers who had seen the world shouted: "It's wine, run away."
Before most of the siege team had time to react, they saw a few burning torches thrown down from the top of the city. When they met alcohol, a raging fire ignited and quickly spread to Cao Jun, and even the rushing cars were caught. Burning, puffs of black smoke rose.
"Ah, help." Cao Jun fled in all directions due to the intense pain of the fire, howling terribly. Those who couldn't bear it simply jumped into the river, and many Cao Jun who couldn't swim were drowned in the river.
The burning fire was staged at the four gates at the same time, not only completely burned the Chong chariot, but also lost more than [-] soldiers with the besieging soldiers.
Cao Cao, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, tightly held the sword in his hand, and shouted unwillingly: "Ming Jin retreats!"
"My lord has an order, Ming Jin withdraws troops."
"My lord has an order, Ming Jin withdraws troops."
Cao Cao's commanding cavalry yelled on the battlefield, and the other generals in charge of the main attack naturally also rang the golden bell to make their generals withdraw.
…………
General Cao Cao's generals, counselors and others have all been invited to discuss countermeasures. The headache now is not only the attack on Luoyang, but also the main force of Guan Yu who is about to rush to Sili.
The continuous strong attack for several days not only failed to take Luoyang, but even the city was captured, and more than [-] people were lost, which made Cao Cao's heart bleed.
While storming Luoyang, Cao Cao still received bad news.
The spies lurking in Jizhou have sent information that Jizhou has been captured by Li Shimin's general Guan Yu, Yan Liang was killed, and Yuan Shao's life and death are unknown.
After receiving the news, Cao Cao was extremely anxious, and kept cursing Yuan Shao for being incompetent, and he was defeated so quickly.After venting for a while, knowing that the moment of life and death has come, he must quickly come up with countermeasures, otherwise the consequences of this battle will be unpredictable.
If he can't take Luoyang quickly, capture Li Shimin alive, and grasp this trump card, he may not only return in vain in this battle, but also be outflanked, and the result waiting for him is not good.
A dignified atmosphere spread in the big tent, and everyone felt very aggrieved after hearing the news.Since the army attacked Sili, it has lost at least 8 or [-] horses. The tiger general Xu Chu was seriously injured and has not recovered yet. The loss is not insignificant.
Only then did they reach Luoyang, is it really going to return without success?But if he persisted, it would be really bad if he was really taken by Bingzhou Guan Yu.At that time, the loss will not be so small.
Cao Cao asked with a gloomy face: "Everyone, the situation is turning rapidly. Our army's strong attack has failed, but the enemy's reinforcements have already killed them. What good strategy do you have?"
