Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 400 Sweeping Luoyang
Shi Siming, Shi Chaoyi and his son's face turned green, and their hearts were filled with despair.

Under such circumstances, Shi Siming did not have the courage to continue fighting with Li Fei, and retreated back to Luoyang City with only a hundred thousand or so panic-stricken rebel soldiers, as if relying on the high and thick walls of Luoyang City to stop Li Fei. fly.

To say that this Luoyang City passes through Anlu Mountain, and An Qingxu and his son built it by burning cement crazily. It is twice as tall and thick as before.

When Guo Ziyi regained the two capitals, Li Fei led an Anton army to join the battle. The reason why he failed to hold Luoyang at that time was mainly because Li Fei was exposed to the eyes of the rebels for the first time by blasting the city gate with explosives. The anti-army was too frightened and couldn't think of a way to counter it in a short time, so that time Luoyang City was easily attacked by Li Fei by blowing open the city gate.

This time, Shi Siming, Shi Chaoyi and his son have come to a dead end, and it has been nearly two years since the last Luoyang fiasco. They have come up with a lot of ways to prevent Li Fei from directly blasting the city gate, at least not as easily as the last time. Li Fei blew open the city gate, and the soldiers of Anton's army rushed into Luoyang City through the city gate.

It's a pity that Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi were wrong. The methods they thought of had no effect in the face of Anton's cannons.

Li Fei left nearly 15 Anton troops north of the Yellow River, and only [-] Anton troops crossed the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, Li Fei quickly captured Lingchang, Chenliu, and Xingyang. The forward pointed directly at Hulao Pass. After breaking through Hulao Pass, he could kill Luoyang City.

In order to guard the gateway to Luoyang, Shi Siming left behind [-] rebels and a confidant.

Of course, being a confidant doesn't mean he can sacrifice his life for Shi Siming.Wasn't Shi Siming also An Lushan's confidant at the beginning, and later he killed An Qingxu without blinking an eye.

Shi Siming's confidant who stayed at Hulao Pass only felt that Shi Siming left him at Hulao Pass to resist Peiping Wang Li Fei and An Dong's army, and he wanted him to die.Beiping Wang Li Fei and his Anton Army are so powerful, Shi Siming's situation is over, and he should also think about himself.

When Li Fei sent troops to Hulao Pass, Shi Siming's confidant who stayed at Hulao Pass directly opened the gate of Hulao Pass, and surrendered Li Fei with [-] defenders in the pass.

Hulaoguan surrendered in anticipation of the wind, and when the news reached Luoyang, Shi Siming was terrified and cursed angrily.

As Li Fei arrived at the city of Luoyang, Shi Siming sent people to try to make peace with Li Fei, or simply surrender Li Fei, as long as Li Fei gave him a chance.

Li Fei didn't pay any attention to Shi Siming's summation, and Shi Siming didn't have any capital to sue him.

Li Fei's refusal to seek peace made Shi Siming extremely crazy, which meant that Li Fei refused to give him a way out, and he could only fight Li Fei to the end.

Shi Siming frantically strengthened the defense of Luoyang City, hoping that the solid Luoyang City could withstand Li Fei's attack.

When Li Fei's six artillery battalions and 210 cannons were erected and aimed at the city wall of Luoyang, the hearts of Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi's father and son were raised.

"fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" All the cannons hit and bombarded a section of the city wall.

The bombardment of the cannon is actually not much more powerful than directly suppressing it with the divine arm crossbow, and then directly blasting it with explosives, but the bombardment of the cannon can also continuously damage the morale of the defenders and anti-army soldiers from another aspect.

The cannonball hit the wall of the city wall with a loud sound, and the shattered masonry splashed out, leaving a pit.

210 cannons hit the bombardment, no matter how tall and thick Luoyang's city wall is, it is impossible to stop it, and it will always collapse.

With each round of shelling, the faces of the anti-army soldiers in the city turned paler, and the fear in their eyes increased.

Finally, after more than an hour, the section of Luoyang city wall that was hit and bombarded collapsed.

"Modao formation attack!" Li Fei did not immediately order the iron cavalry to rush into the city, but let a Modao formation advance into the city in a formation.The Modao formation god blocks and kills the gods, and the momentum of the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha can best destroy the morale of the anti-army defenders in the city.

Sure enough, when the Modao army pushed into the city from the huge gap in the collapse, the anti-army defenders in the city collapsed at the touch of a touch.

Originally, the morale of the anti-army defenders in the city was very low. When the artillery of the Anton Army bombarded the city wall of Luoyang, the morale of the anti-army defenders was completely destroyed. , These anti-army defenders collapsed at the touch of a button.

Shi Siming was like a gambler who lost his eyes, his eyes were red and he wanted to scream.

However, Shi Siming is not crazy after all, he still has a chance to live, he will not choose to die.

When the city wall of Luoyang was bombed down, Shi Siming and his eldest son Shi Chaoyi did not hesitate to flee the city with some elite rebels.

Luoyang City is very large. Although Li Fei had nearly 15 troops to attack Luoyang City, he could not besieged in groups. In fact, Li Fei only besieged the east gate and attacked from the east gate. The other three gates only sent some cavalry Cruising, in other words, Li Fei didn't care whether Shi Siming, Shi Chaoyi and other rebels in the city would abandon the city and flee.

It would be better for Shi Siming and his eldest son Shi Chaoyi to abandon the city and flee. Li Fei's many cavalry were chasing and killing them.It is better than completely besieging Shi Siming and his sons in the city and letting them lead the rebels to fight against the trapped beasts, the losses they will suffer are much smaller.

As soon as Shi Siming and his son escaped from the city of Luoyang from Ximen with some rebels, they were intercepted by an Anton cavalry of thousands of people.Shi Siming and his son fled desperately, and more than ten thousand rebels were intercepted and killed.

Shi Siming and his son fled all the way, surrounded by Anton cavalry all the way, and the number of rebel soldiers around Shi Siming and his son became less and less.

When Shi Siming and his son fled to Luoyang, which was more than two hundred miles away, there were only more than 2000 rebels around Shi Siming and his son, which was really miserable.

Shi Siming and his son did not dare to stay, and fled all the way to Nanyang, and finally fled from Nanyang to Jianghuai.

After Li Fei captured Luoyang, the 15 troops were divided into four groups, heading all the way to Yanzhou, Henan Province, all the way to Lingbao, Shanzhou, all the way to Yingchuan, Nanyang, all the way to Jianghuai, preparing to use Luoyang as the dot, Attack on all sides and completely wipe out the rebels.

When Li Fei's Anton army passed by, the rebels in all counties and counties all looked forward to the wind and surrendered.

On September 25, the 3 Anton Army heading for Shanzhou all the way, led by Wu Sheng, arrived at the city of Shanzhou.

What is unexpected is that the city of Shanzhou has been regained by Tang Jun Lu Jiong's troops out of Tongguan, and all the rebels in Shanzhou have surrendered to Lu Jiong.

In other respects, the road to Yanzhou was led by Li Guangbi, who quickly captured Yanzhou, swept away other rebels in Henan Province, and joined forces with the Tang army in Qingzhou.

Led by Lu Xin, those heading towards Yingchuan and Nanyang quickly captured Yingchuan and approached Nanyang.

The Nanyang rebels couldn't bear the pressure. When Lu Xin arrived at the city gate, he opened the city gate and surrendered Lu Xin.

On the contrary, the distance in the Jianghuai direction is relatively far, and with Shi Siming and his sons present, there is more resistance, and it is not so quick to recover.
