Chapter 3 The setting sun is like blood (1)
"Okay! Ambition!" I gave Kou Zhong a thumbs up and praised: "This is my good brother. A man should have this kind of courage to stand tall!"
A confident smile climbed onto Kou Zhong's cheek. He stared at the barracks stationed by Li Mi's army in the distance and whispered: "Li Mi is indeed a handsome man. Under such circumstances in the morning, he could calm the soldiers' morale in time and decisively ordered him to retreat five miles."
I nodded and continued Kou Zhong's topic: "Well, Li Mi's move is very exquisite in using retreat as an advance. The wonderful thing is that it lies in these five miles. If you retreat too much, your morale will be disrupted and your army will lose the deterrence power of the 300,000 army to Luoyang. If you retreat less, not only will you not be able to avoid our edge, but you will not be able to achieve the role of carrying our army's morale."
Kou Zhong smiled coldly and said, "After the first time he took power, he launched a large-scale war repeatedly, losing the time; the iron army attacked danger in danger, losing the right place; the bloodthirsty seized power, and the people were panicked, losing the right people. He had no right time, place, and people like three things, so why would he fight me!"
He looked at him with praise, but he didn't expect Kou Zhong's thinking was so quick and he was quite like a general. He nodded and said, "Xiao Zhong, do you remember how we deal with the cavalry who attacked the Pegasus Ranch?"
Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Of course I remember, I think I want to use the same method to deal with Li Mi's army today, right?" Seeing me nodding, Kou Zhong continued, "Don't worry, brother, how could I forget such a good way to defend the city? I have already ordered the troops to mobilize almost all the people of Luoyang City and bought a large amount of raw oil and porcelain jars from them. I discussed with Boss Dong again. Anyway, almost all the brothels in Luoyang City have been closed, so I simply borrowed some silver from Boss Dong and bought most of the oil reserved by other brothels. The modified catapults arranged below are specially used to throw these oil jars. This time, Li Mi will definitely burn it!"
He nodded with satisfaction, smiled loudly and said with relief: "It's done well, haha, I can finally feel at ease now. It's still a bit early now. I'll go back and see your sister-in-law and report their safety to them. It's probably not long before Li Mi will make a comeback. He is more anxious than us now." After that, he turned around and walked down the city wall.
When they came to the Dong family restaurant, they greeted Wei Zhenzhen and the girls. They felt relieved when they saw that we were fine. They checked Zhu Yuyan's condition. Not only did the meridians in her body not suffer any damage, but now they are much wider and tougher than before, but there is still no sign of awakening.
In the evening, I heard the sound of deafening war drums sounded again at the south gate. Knowing that Li Mi led his army back, he hurriedly said goodbye to the girls and hurriedly drove out of the house. When I came to the city wall, Kou Zhong, Yang Gongqing and other generals had already stood here. Everyone greeted me one after another, then turned their heads and observed carefully.
There were more than ten high platforms standing side by side among the Wagang army outside the city. Each platform was almost level with the head of Luoyang, about 150 steps away from the Luoyang city gate. There were man-made lurking and pulling in front and man-powered pushing behind, so these giants could move slowly. Nearly a thousand archers were evenly distributed on more than a dozen high platforms, which obviously posed the greatest threat to our defenders. In addition to these dozen behemoths, Li Mi also used thirty catapults and countless ladders floating bridges this time.
Kou Zhong cursed with a serious expression: "Damn it, what a big formation! It seems that the old boy Li Mi decided to burn his boats." Teams of soldiers ran up the city wall in an orderly manner, and bundles of bows and arrows were divided into four points. A special transportation team handed over to the archers' hands. All the rolling wood and thunder stones were transported to the wall, and even the oil pan was set up, and the boiling oil rolled in the pan. Every time the fully armed soldiers walked, the armor on their bodies would make a crisp sound of "Karakla".
The silver-armored cavalry in the morning also set up a long snake formation, bent their bows and arrows, and pointed the arrows directly at the defenders on the city wall. Behind them were dense soldiers, holding a long wooden floating bridge in their hands, and holding the shield firmly with their arms straight above their heads, forming a barrier. Behind the floating bridge were rows of ladders, and then soldiers with ferocious faces were soldiers.
Suddenly, a drum beat was beating in the Wagang army, and the drum beats became faster and faster. At the moment they reached the peak, all the Wagang soldiers under the city burst into anger, and they moved! The dense crowd rushed towards Luoyang like a tide, and the siege began!
At this time, the generals behind Kou Zhong had already left, and each rushed back to his own camp and stick to his post.
The first to launch the attack were the silver armored cavalry. Each time, 20,000 people fired volleys at the same time. In the blink of an eye, 20,000 sharp arrows crossed a distance of 200 steps. When they flew to the city wall, they were still swaying. The shield hand, who was waiting for the battleside, quickly flashed to the chassis, covering the archers behind him, and reacted very quickly. Even so, more than a dozen archers were still injured under the archers, and the enemy's arrows came too fast!
The first round of volleys had not yet completely landed, and the second round of volleys of the Silver Armored Cavalry followed one after another, and the archers and shields on the city wall were unable to defend. The archers on the platform in front of these cavalry also launched attacks, launching volleys on Luoyang one after another. The flying bows and arrows in the sky were intertwined into a continuous and airtight network, which did not give the defenders on the Luoyang city wall a chance to fight back. The sharp arrows rushed over and most of them hit the city wall, while the others were defenders.
