Chapter 945 Burning Luoyang (Part 1)
Chapter 943: Burning Luoyang (Part 1)
The duel between Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba was the most dazzling presence in the North City, but compared with the siege battle involving tens of thousands of people on the moving axis, they occupied only one city tower and would not have much impact on the entire battle. .
“Archers, three-stage shooting preparation, target, the sixth area of the northern city wall.
The shield bearer stepped forward to cover the archers and the echelon team, and the siege team immediately climbed up the stairs.
The entire catapult convoy focused fire on the fifth area to prevent the defenders from supporting the sixth area..."
With such a fiercely shocking war on the city, Bai Qi didn't even look at it, but instead commanded the soldiers to siege the city calmly.
Under Bai Qi's methodical command, the coalition forces finally occupied most of the city tower, and their strength gradually overtook the Liang army on the city tower.
The Liang army on the city tower fought hard for several hours, but failed to completely drive away the weak coalition forces. Now that the enemy's and our forces are reversed, it is even more impossible to defend the city wall.
The north gate city wall began to be quickly occupied by the coalition forces, and all this was seen by Qin Hao.
“Li Shimin’s attention was so focused on the city gate that he failed to recapture the city gate. Now the city wall has completely fallen. If he had no backup plan, the battle on the north side of the city would be over in an hour or two.”
Qin Hao couldn't help but flash a glint in his eyes, and thought to himself: "Should you give up Luoyang and retain your strength, or continue to fight to the death? Li Shimin, what would you choose?"
Li Shimin in the city was extremely anxious at this time.
Since he arrived with the reinforcements, he has successively killed nearly 10,000 enemy troops. However, the coalition forces continued to come in through the city gate and could not kill them all.
Of course, Li Shimin also wanted to recapture the city gates first, and then surround and kill the enemy forces in the city. However, Shi Wansui, who had high hopes, could not be reused and could not get rid of the entanglement of the enemy generals for a long time, thus closing the gates that were opened.
In fact, Shi Wansui cannot be blamed. Lian Po, Ji Ling and Wang Bodang were all defeated by him together. He had tried his best, but he only met a stronger opponent.
Wang Bo was really the "true successor" of Hou Yi. He was obviously good at bows and arrows, but he insisted on fighting Shi Wansui in close combat. In the end, after only three rounds, Shi Wansui smashed his weapon with a halberd, and he vomited blood and ran away.
Ji Ling didn't last long. After fifteen rounds, he was hit hard by Shi Wansui. He was so shocked that he vomited blood and ran away, leaving Lianpo alone to hold on.
Lian Po was still quite brave in his prime, but compared with top generals such as Shi Wansui, the gap was still too big. He was defeated in less than ten rounds alone.
If Shi Wansui hadn't been eager to close the city gate and didn't pay too much attention to Lian Po who was running for his life, I'm afraid Lian Po would have been killed by Shi Wansui.
Three against one is to bully the minority, but he was defeated by the opponent alone. This made Lian Po feel humiliated and determined to avenge his previous humiliation.
Shi Wansui first defeated the combined forces of brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, and then defeated the siege of three generals: Lian Po, Ji Ling and Wang Bodang. Although he failed to kill the general, it was already a very rare achievement.
Following successive battles and victories, Shi Wansui was also full of pride, and then he set his sights on the city gate.
Shi Wansui led a team of elites and headed straight for the city gate. The ordinary soldiers were naturally unable to stop them, and Shi Wansui closed two auxiliary gates in succession.
But just when Shi Wansui was about to close the largest main door, Qin Wu, the general of the Qin army, committed suicide and entered.
Qin Hao didn't want to send Qin Wu in, but Qin Wu insisted on asking for a fight. It seemed that he was following Bai Qi instead of fighting.
It was detected through the system. Qin Hao knew that except for Shi Wansui, there were no other generals of the Liang Army in Beicheng, so he nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.
As a veteran general, Shi Wansui is naturally much stronger than Qin Wu, but his consecutive defeats of five coalition generals also took a huge toll on Shi Wansui, so much so that he was beaten by Qin Wu, a junior.
[Ding dong, Qin’s martial arts skill ‘King of Swords’ has officially advanced to ‘God of Swords’. The God of Sword activates force +4, base force is 101, White Tiger Sirius Sword +1, Zilu +1, current force has increased to 107. 】
“Swansui Shi, have you not eaten?”
Qin Wu violently suppressed Shi Wansui with a sword and laughed: "Liangzhou's famous general is nothing more than this." [Ding dong, Qin Wu's skill 'Tiger Roar' is activated. This skill has been strengthened after Qin Wu merged with the soul of King Qin Wu. .
Tiger Roar (one enhancement): The Tiger King is angry, the clouds thunder, the Tiger King roars, and all beasts are frightened.
Effect 1, after this skill is activated, the force +3.
Effect 2, activated during a battle between generals, reducing the enemy general's strength by 1 to 5 points in a single fight, and reducing the strength of all opponents by 1 to 3 points in a group battle.
Effect 3, activated during legion combat, the overall combat strength of the enemy's entire army is partially reduced. 】
[Ding dong, Qin’s martial arts skill ‘Tiger Roar’ effects 1, 2, and 3 are activated one after another. The current force has increased to 110, and Shi Wansui has been reduced by 3 points of force. The overall combat strength of the Beicheng Allied Forces has been partially reduced. 】
Qin Wu's contemptuous words made Shi Wansui blow his nose and stare in anger, but no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do.
Shi Wansui has just experienced two battles, which consume a lot of internal energy and physical strength, and it takes time to buffer the skills before they are activated again after cooling down, so it is very difficult to remain undefeated, let alone close other city gates.
Seeing this, Li Shimin wished he could go out to fight himself, but his injury had not yet fully recovered, so he had to mobilize other generals. At this time, news came that the other three gates were also attacked by the coalition forces.
“Report, Jiang Song, Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui, Huang Zhong... appeared at the east gate.”
“Reported, Ran Min, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei… appeared at the south gate.”
"Retribution, Yin Shou, Er Lai, Pei Yuanqing... appeared at Ximen."
At one time, all four gates of Luoyang were attacked. Of course, the other three gates were not seriously affected for the time being. The most dangerous one was the north gate that had been breached.
As soon as he heard about the personnel transfer of the coalition forces, Li Shimin knew that Qin Hao wanted to divide the strength of the Liang army so that he would not dare to concentrate his efforts to pacify the North Gate.
Qin Hao's conspiracy was successful, and Li Shimin really didn't dare to gamble anymore.
Lü Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Jia Fu, Hou Yi and other top generals were responsible for guarding the other three gates and had great responsibilities.
Although Li Shimin cannot mobilize them, he can still mobilize lower-level generals, such as Wu Yunzhao!
Li Shimin was just about to order the transfer of generals, but the biggest bad news came: the city wall could not be defended!
"Report, the coalition's offensive is too fierce, and the brothers on the wall will not be able to withstand it."
“What? How come it’s so fast?”
Li Shimin's eyes widened, and then he asked sharply: "Who is directing the attack?"
“This is Qin general Bai Qi (Bai Qi).”
"It's him."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart. He knew that since he was white, Qin Hao must have been outside the city, which also meant that he had little choice.
Li Shimin closed his eyes. In just a short moment, he thought about many things in his mind.
The next second, Li Shimin opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to all the defenders on the city wall to withdraw from the north wall immediately."
"What?"
