Although Zhou's army suffered heavy casualties, Yuwen Shenju's face did not change at all. He had long known the strength of Qi's army. Moreover, the siege battle was brutal, and every victory was made of flesh and blood.

Standing on the chariot, Yuwen Shenju gave orders calmly and skillfully. The attacking Zhou army constantly changed its formation and rhythm to reduce losses and approach Luoyang City faster.

Because the Yellow River broke its embankment a few days ago, all the outside of Luoyang City became Zeguo, so the moat surrounding Luoyang City was also filled with sludge, and most of it was filled up. The time was too short, and the Qi army was busy with disaster relief, so it was not cleaned up. This made the Zhou army's attack much easier, and siege equipment such as city-charging carts and ladders leaned against the city wall of Luoyang without spending much money.

Even so, the defending Qi army was backed by the city, and still had a huge advantage. Rolling trees and beating stones, swords, light and arrows rained continuously on the Zhou army, taking away fresh lives and dyeing the earth brown.

From early morning to sunset, the attack of the Zhou army did not stop for a moment. The deafening shouts made people's ears ringing. The soldiers on both sides of the battle were also hungry and tired, but they did not dare to relax at all, because what they lost in a moment of slack was life.

The ancient city of Luoyang has many more scars, mottled and dilapidated. Although Zhou Jun's chariots hit the city again and again, trembling slightly, it still stands tall. people flinch.

Under the setting sun, Yuwen Shenju's face was a little gloomy. For a whole day, he invested [-] soldiers and horses, and nearly [-] people were killed or injured. In order for Zhong Du to persevere, the hundreds of Zhou army soldiers were beheaded by the Qi army, and their bodies fell to the ground, bloody and bloody.

Rao Yuwen Shenju had been prepared for a long time, and the strength of the Qi army was beyond his imagination. Compared with Luoyang City, Dongyongzhou may be more suitable for breakthrough, but Zhou Jun was defeated there twice, and Dongyongzhou may still be difficult to deal with. If you want to break through and invade the hinterland of Qi, there is no good way except for a strong attack.

"Send another 2 people to attack,"

"Advance the catapult a hundred paces,"

Following Yuwen Shenju's order, [-] Zhou troops roared and charged towards Luoyang City, and the hundreds of catapults that were destroyed by the Qi army in front of the Zhou army also quickly approached Luoyang City in the dusk .

Amidst the sharp whistling sound, a huge rock crossed over a hundred meters and slammed into the head of the city, causing a lot of damage immediately, causing a commotion in the Qi army, and the defense became a little relaxed. The Zhou army below the city shouted in unison, taking advantage of the situation They frantically launched an attack on Luoyang City, and soon hundreds of people climbed to the top of the city and fought with the Qi army.

Fu Fu's face was serious, his eyes flickering coldly. He thought that Yuwen Shenju would withdraw his troops to rest and fight again in the future, but he didn't expect that he would send more troops again, and launched an attack regardless of his soldiers being hit by the catapult .

"Cannon ready,"

After seeing the last ray of sunlight dissipate, Fu Fu's eyes flashed an inexplicable look, which seemed to be excited and expected.

Following his order, one of the dozen or so arrow towers on the west wall of Luoyang City protruded from each of the dozens of arrow towers surrounded by a person. With a startling chill.

Far away, Yuwen Shenju didn't notice the changes in Luoyang City, even if he found out, he wouldn't understand what it was, not to mention Yuwen Shenju, even in the whole country of Qi, who knew about it There are only a few people.

This is artillery, the most powerful weapon of Xing Xing. It has been developed since X X X established a foothold in Shandong, and it was not until today that it was put on the battlefield for the first time.

With the addition of [-] fresh troops, nearly [-] Zhou troops gathered under Luoyang City, densely covering almost the entire west wall of Luoyang City, which doubled the pressure on the defenders on the city, and more and more Zhou troops attacked the city. , The Qi army was forced to retreat steadily.

Yuwen Shenju's eyes flashed brightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After fighting for a day, he paid a heavy price, and finally it was time to reap.

Standing up, Yuwen Shenju suddenly raised his saber high, and shouted: "The collapse of Luoyang City is just around the corner. Soldiers, it's time to repay the emperor's favor and make contributions. The whole army attacks, attacks, "

"kill,"

The [-] Zhou army around Yuwen Shenju immediately burst into thunderous roars when they heard the words, brandishing their weapons one after another, rushing towards Luoyang City like a tide, and the soaring evil spirit seemed to be able to completely submerge Luoyang City.

"Target Yuwen Shenju, fire the cannon,"

Just when Yuwen Shenju was approaching Luoyang City with Zhou Jun, Fu Fu on the city suddenly raised his arms and shouted, his voice was like thunder, shaking the whole field.

"Bang bang bang,"

While Zhou Jun on the city was surprised, the nozzles of the artillery protruding from the arrow tower suddenly burst into dazzling flames. Just when Yuwen Shenju was in doubt, he saw dozens of fireballs, dragging their brilliant tails. Yan, like a meteor falling from the sky, fell into the Zhou army with lightning speed, and one of them was not far away from him.

"Boom boom boom,"

A roar that shook the heavens came out, and in an instant it completely drowned out Zhou Jun's shouts of killing. In the sky-high flames, Yuwen Shenju only felt a threatening heat wave rushing towards him with a surging air wave, directly killing him. The chariot under him was torn apart, and he himself was thrown high into the air. The severe pain instantly overwhelmed his sanity.

As the ground trembled violently, countless Zhou soldiers were directly torn apart, and the stumped limbs and broken arms were mixed with smoke and dust all over the sky, and more Zhou soldiers were directly impacted so that their blood surged, their bones were broken, and their tendons were broken, screaming in horror Suddenly, the shrill screams resounded through the sky.

Unknown fear and shock immediately filled Zhou Jun's heart. Even Zhou Jun in Luoyang City was shocked and slowed down his offensive. Not to mention Zhou Jun, even Qi Jun's eyes widened in surprise. , The back is full of cold sweat.

Fu Fu could barely maintain his composure, but from his rapid breathing and extremely bright eyes, it could be seen that his mood was also agitated. He finally understood why he could talk and laugh freely in the face of a million-strong army, and why Wei Xiaokuan and others like him Famous generals who are not born in the world will also lower their noble heads, all because of this artillery.

No matter in terms of range or power, the artillery can't compare with the catapult. Fu Fu couldn't imagine that he had the courage to fight against such a sharp weapon.

"Boom boom boom,"

After a brief pause, the violent roar sounded again, and countless Zhou Jun was buried in the flames, which made Zhou Jun, who was already in a daze, even more panicked and at a loss, the field was full of roars and cries, Extreme chaos.

"Yuwen Shenju is dead, Daqi soldiers, counterattack," Fu Fu took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and then roared loudly.

One word awakened the dreamer, the spirit of the Qi army at the head of the city was greatly lifted, and they immediately roared and killed the soldiers of the Zhou army. The momentum was like a rainbow, and it took only a short time to drive all the Zhou soldiers who were shaking their hearts from the head of Luoyang city. .

After ten consecutive rounds of shelling, the morale of the Zhou army was exhausted, and their formation was completely destroyed by the Qi army, especially the death of Yuwen Shenju made them lose their fighting spirit.

The heavy city gate opened, and Cheng Yaojin took the lead, leading the Qi army who had already been ready to go out of the city.

"Yuwen Shenju is dead, and the Zhou army will be defeated. Daqi's soldiers, join me in killing the Zhou army to the brim, kill!"

"kill,,,"

The morale of the Qi army was high. At this time, their faces were flushed, their eyes were bright, and they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin, like a tiger descending a mountain, they rushed madly towards the already frightened Zhou army.

Yang Su was originally cultivating in the camp, but he was suddenly awakened by the earth-shattering noise, and suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.

"what is that,"

Staring at the direction of Luoyang City, looking at the flames that erupted from time to time, with a serious face, he muttered to himself. Suddenly, Yang Su's face changed drastically, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that General Yuwen was really killed?" No, no, definitely not," although he kept emphasizing in his mouth, the haze and anxiety in Yang Su's heart became more and more intense.

Not long after, Yang Su heard the loud shouts of killing coming from the city of Luoyang, and the originally mighty Zhou Jun fled here in panic like a bereaved dog.

"Defeated, unexpectedly defeated,"

Yang Su staggered, with an unbelievable expression on his face. The 15 army was defeated so suddenly, so inexplicably, and so quickly, which caught him off guard.

"General Yang, the Qi army is chasing us, what should we do?"

Thousands of Zhou troops staying in the battalion also noticed the situation on the front line and looked at Yang Sudao in panic.

"Show the flag, the whole army retreats,"

Yang Su's face became serious, he calmed down, and ordered decisively, now Zhou Jun has no fighting spirit at all, and the battle formation is completely empty, while Qi Jun's morale is high, fighting against each other is not a good strategy, we can only temporarily avoid it.

Following Yang Su's order, the panicked Zhou Jun immediately seemed to see a guiding light in the dark, and no longer fled aimlessly, but gathered in the direction where Yang Su was evacuating.

It wasn't until dawn that Cheng Yaojin stopped his pursuit. At this time, he was nearly a hundred miles away from Luoyang City. Of the 15 Zhou army, only 10 escaped. Nearly [-] people were captured by the Qi army. His Yuwen divine move was killed in the city of Luoyang.

The Qi army seemed to win this battle easily, but in fact it was not. There were not only Fu Fu's calculations, but also luck.

If it weren't for Fu Fu's deliberate disregard, Yuwen Shenju let down his vigilance and unfortunately died, and Zhou Jun was also disrupted by the artillery, his fighting spirit disappeared, and the Qi army took advantage of the situation to counterattack and won in one fell swoop.

Cannons are powerful, but the manufacturing process is extremely difficult for the current society. Otherwise, how could Fu Fu have endured until now, and even with happy financial resources, the number of cannons is very limited, and the limitation of craftsmanship also makes the cannons It is impossible to fight for a long time, otherwise there will be a danger of bombing.

If Yuwen Shenju knew the flaws of the artillery and had prepared early, even though there would be a lot of losses, he would not be defeated like this.
