Start with Blue Silver Grass

Luoyang City East

The setting sun is like blood. Although there is no big battle today, facing the pressure of Daqian's 200,000 troops, just looking at the endless Daqian army camps in the distance is enough to mentally challenge the Luoyang defenders. The army put great pressure on them. This pressure made the Luoyang defenders seem a little helpless when facing the harassment from time to time by the Daqian army.

There is something in "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Planning and Attack"

"The first is to attack the enemy, then the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and then the second is to attack the city. The method of attacking a city is as a last resort."

All strategically important cities have thick walls and high walls, protected by ditches and rivers. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can defeat many with less. Therefore, Sun Tzu's army is like a god, and siege is still the last resort. Of the policy.

The eastern capital of Luoyang, whether it was the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties in Lin Yi's previous life, the city wall was less than ten meters high, or in this magically revised version of the 'Datang World', the city wall is nearly twenty feet high (I changed it , the original version of Ma Dan is thirty feet tall, almost a hundred meters high!), they are all powerful cities in their respective worlds that are difficult to conquer!

Luoyang, the eastern capital, was one of the three major capitals of the old Sui Dynasty. It was the strongest city outside Chang'an and Jiangdu.

Just by looking at the original work, a grassroots team like Li Zitong was still able to rely on the rivers to resist Du Fuwei's elite Jianghuai Army and Shen Faxing's Jiangnan Navy, and we can infer the power of Luoyang.

In fact, Luoyang's defense power is even better than that of Chang'an and Jiangdu. In addition to the natural barriers of the surrounding mountains and rivers, it is also surrounded by long walls. The outer pier city wall is eight feet wide and can accommodate more than ten riders riding side by side. The city towers It is grand, with twelve doors on four sides, and the doors can look after each other, and each door is a gateway.

Not to mention that there are also unique [Mojia] mechanism creations in this world on the city wall.

The 'World of the Tang Dynasty' was truly a treasured place for Lin Yi. In addition to various magic scriptures and talented geniuses, there were also inheritances from hundreds of schools of thought that had not yet been cut off.

Among them, in addition to Lu Miaozi, who was healed by Lin Yi from an old injury and is currently traveling around the world to help Lin Yi find "Jingyan Palace", there is another character who was ignored in the original work.

Sha Tiannan is known as the richest man in Luoyang together with Rong Fengxiang (Bichen, one of the eight masters of the Demon Sect. Nicknamed "Demon Dao"), and he is also the cousin of Dugu Feng, the [Dugu Clan].

The Sha family, headed by Sha Tiannan, started out with mineral deposits and is world-famous for its hardware craftsmanship. It has more than a hundred weapons factories across the country and more than a dozen mines in Guanzhong alone. It can be said that it is a big businessman who controls the lifeblood of the military industry.

Later, under Li Jiancheng, an arms factory was established in Chang'an City.

The city-defending god crossbows designed and supervised by Sha Tiannan for Luoyang: the ‘Big Flying Stone’ and the ‘Eight-bow Crossbow Machine’

The former can throw boulders weighing fifty kilograms and has a range of 200 steps; the latter's arrows are as big as giant axes and can attack enemies within more than 500 steps. Both are super mobile defenders with strong maneuverability and flexible rotation. Tools can be quickly mobilized on the city wall.

One hundred and twenty "big flying stones" and one hundred and fifty "eight-bow crossbows" guarded Luoyang impregnably. Even with the abilities of Xu Shiji, Li Jing, Qin Shubao, and military advisors Shen Luoyan, Xu Xingzhi and others, They attacked the city from all sides day and night for more than ten consecutive days, but still failed to capture Luoyang.

This time, the commander-in-chief Li Jing used the Qingcheng Palace in the northeast of Luoyang as his base camp to increase the total strength of the army to 120,000. If the strength of the troops stationed in the surrounding towns are included, the total number of large-scale troops sent out for this expedition is over 200,000. , it can be said that with the support of Lin Yi, Li Jing tried his best and was determined to win.

Under normal circumstances, Luoyang is a fortified city that cannot be conquered, so Li Jing's strategy was to isolate Luoyang first and cut off all food routes, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city would be short of food and would collapse without attacking.

Now, Lin Yi said that he did not want to wait any longer for more than ten days.

Then, Lin Yi, the ‘Green Emperor’, will take action as an abnormal situation!

After all, after more than ten days of hard work, the food supply in Luoyang City must have almost bottomed out, and morale is in chaos.

Although it has not yet reached the optimal time mentioned by Li Jing and others, with Lin Yi's 'Unparalleled Dance', the difference is not big.

Near noon the next day, a death squad composed of thousands of criminals with the most heinous crimes swarmed up. On the tower, Wang Xuanshu frowned and shouted loudly: "Kill!" As soon as the word fell, thousands of arrows shot out like meteors, and they immediately rushed to the front row. The kamikaze soldier was hit by an arrow and fell down struggling.

Wang Xuanshu, the second son of Wang Shichong, was different from Wang Xuanying, the eldest son of Wang Shichong, who was weak and incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death. At the moment when the life and death of the Wang family in Luoyang was at stake, Wang Shichong sent him to the most critical city wall, facing the main force of the army.

Under the rain of arrows, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the dead soldiers in the rear, and they instinctively wanted to hide back. However, thousands of dead soldiers came like a tidal wave. How could they turn back? In an instant, the bodies that fell to the ground were buried in the flood. In the black flow of people, the crowd couldn't help but rush towards the city gate.

The arrows on the city top are like locusts, and the dead soldiers under the city wall are like ants.

A hail of arrows rained down, and hundreds of people struggled and fell to the ground, unwilling to give up, and were immediately crushed into dust. The entire city of Luoyang was like a Shura slaughterhouse, and Lin Yi, who was watching the battle from a high platform alongside Li Jing and others, had no expression on his face.

"Zengguang Xianwen" says: Compassion does not lead to military affairs, emotion does not establish affairs, justice does not manage finances, kindness does not serve as an official!

War is not a child’s play!

What's more, Lin Yi's men are actually an army of benevolence and righteousness, but they only use some scum who commit adultery, robbery, and commit heinous crimes as death squads.

Instead of driving away the mob like most forces, the people consumed the arrows, rolling logs and other materials from the defenders.

Most of the current sources of thousands of death squads come from the members of the "Four Bandits" who were captured by Lin Yi (Li Qinglian) when he was at Pegasus Ranch.

As for the famous "Four Bandits", Xiang Batian, "Not even an inch of grass can grow", "Fang Jian Ding", "No chicken or dog left", Mao Zao, "A Thousand Miles of Scorched Earth", and the "Ghost Crying God" who is known as the disciple of "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan No. Cao Yinglong, after making outstanding contributions to some of Lin Yi's experiments, they also made the blue silver grass in the backyard of the Xingyang Military Commander's Mansion more lush~

After a while, the dead soldiers rushed to the moat, but the suspension bridge had already been pulled up. These dead soldiers had no equipment to cross the river. The hundreds of people at the head could not stop and were pushed by the tide of people behind and fell into the river. Two arrows When it rained, the ten-foot-wide moat was filled with dead men who had fallen into the water, struggling like drowning ants, and gradually sank, losing their life.

On the high platform in the military formation of the Daqian Army, Lin Yi sighed when he saw the hellish scene of Shura. Xu Shiji, Shen Luoyan and others around him thought that Lin Yi couldn't bear it.

Then, before Shen Luoyan, the beautiful military advisor next to him, could open his mouth to express his condolences, Lin Yi said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that there are too few villains like these 'Four Bandits', with a total of only more than 50,000 people. In the past two years, they have continued to consumption, it is estimated that after this wave, all of them will be dead..."

Li Jing, who was standing on the other side of Lin Yi, twitched the corner of his mouth. Just now, others thought that Lin Yi was soft-hearted and sighed. Back then, he personally watched the Commander Lin next to him, finding all the Golden Wolf Army soldiers one by one, and following Zai Xiao. Like chickens, all buried in the soil~

In the words of Lord Qingdi: "Can't bear it? It doesn't exist. I'm just purifying the environment!"

Seeing that Xu Shiji and others didn't know how to respond to the military commander's words, Li Jing, who was the first to follow, quickly followed up and said: "The military commander said that if the three bandits Xiang, Fang, and Mao could be like Cao Yinglong, With more than 30,000 bandits, we can probably destroy the city of Luoyang now~"

Lin Yi glanced at Li Jing, who was smiling, and thought to himself: "You have a good sense of consciousness! No wonder you can be included in the Tang Dynasty's 'Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion' in any world's history. Not only do you have a unified With his ability as a soldier, he later became the prime minister~"

Looking at the battlefield ahead, the moat that was tens of feet wide and several feet deep was instantly filled with thousands of dead men who fell into the water. More than ten thousand elite soldiers following behind, led by Qin Shubao, held up their shields and marched past thousands of people. , swarmed under the city wall.

Afterwards, a surging army moved out dozens of siege ladders, hundreds of people climbed beams and flew hooks, and ran towards the city wall with a roar.

The soldiers ran to the bottom of the city on the corpses, and clamored to climb up the ladder. Hundreds of well-trained warriors from the army swung their flying hooks and threw them up to the top of the city, clinging firmly to the bluestone of the city wall. The sergeant drew his sword and swung it, but the flying hook rope was designed by Lu Miaozi and made of the 'Jinxing·Lanyincao' cultivated by Lin Yi. He kept cutting it with several blows.

At this time, the archers who entered the "Feiyu Camp" behind the city held long bows and began to shoot back at the top of the city. Arrows from both sides exchanged for a while, harvesting the heads. In just a moment, the "Rock" guarding the "Feiyu Camp" under the city wall The wooden shield wrapped in cowhide in the hands of the battalion sergeant was studded with arrows.

As the city wall that Daqian Army mainly attacked, there were sixty "big flying stones" and eighty "eight-bow crossbows" to defend against the enemy. In just a moment, under these heavy firepower, corpses were piled up under the city wall. It was piled several feet thick.

That is to say, the death squads consumed a lot of arrows and stones before. In addition, the pressure of the army and the lack of food and grass these days have greatly weakened the combat power of the soldiers. From time to time, soldiers on the city fell to the bottom of the city. The arrow's momentum was actually suppressed.

Wang Xuanshu was supervising the battle. He saw arrows like locusts flying down the city. It was like a rain of arrows. There were many people injured by arrows on the city. Wang Xuanshu was so excited that he grabbed the stone pillars of the city tower tightly. His hands were so strong that his veins were broken. skyrocketing.

Occasionally, a ladder was set up next to him. Wang Xuanshu slashed with the sword in his hand, and the ladder that was higher than the top of the wall was broken. The Ganjun who had not climbed half way down howled and fell, and was instantly wiped out by the crowd.

However, there were hundreds of flying hooks on the ladders, and the "Feiyu Camp" of the cadres under the city shot arrows like rain, and the "Pojun Camp" like a forest of spears, attacked the soldiers on the city in chaos. Although the soldiers on the city were prepared, there were no soldiers. The fighting spirit, under the overwhelming offensive of the Qian army, was temporarily unable to withstand it.

At this moment, Qin Shubao, as the vanguard general, made a killing and jumped up onto the city wall. He did not use his special maces and waved left and right with a horse pole in both hands, sweeping a three-foot gap around him.

Then he shouted: "Zhijie!"

"I'm here, Old Cheng!" A roar came in response, but at the edge of the city wall where Qin Shubao had swept away the gap, a burly figure turned over, holding a long Xuanhua ax in each hand.

After coming up, Wa Ya De and Qin Shu Bao each went in one direction, trying their best to maintain this vacancy.

Gradually, three or five, a dozen, twenty or thirty... the cadres here began to form a large scale, and eventually reached hundreds of cadres, completely occupying this section of the city wall and taking root.

"Damn it!" Wang Xuanshu, who was nearly thirty feet away on the city wall, saw this and his eyes were about to burst.

In front of the military formation in the distance, Li Jing, who was paying attention to this place, bowed his hands to Lin Yi beside him and saluted: "The time has come, please ask the military commander to take action!"

Lin Yi nodded, tapped his foot lightly, and instantly shot towards the gate of Luoyang City like an arrow from a string.

In an instant, they arrived about ten meters away from the city gate. Before the defenders on the city wall could react, they stretched out their hands, and a pair of enlarged versions of the 'Drum Urn and Golden Hammer' made by the clone Lu Sheng appeared in their hands.

Compared with Li Yuanba, the "first hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in "Shuo Tang", who holds a pair of hammers weighing a total of 800 kilograms, the enlarged version in Lin Yi's hand has a single volume of about 0.5 cubic meters (don't ask me if I don't). How to calculate the volume of a regular spherical shape? Put it in water!), ordinary iron can weigh three or four tons, which is about seven or eight thousand kilograms, but one made of refined iron by Lin Yi weighs almost ten thousand kilograms!

Each hand held a 'Golden Hammer' with a book value comparable to the 'Ruyi Golden Cudgel'. After a run-up of more than ten meters, a pair of giant hammers blasted towards the tall and thick gate of Luoyang City with a violent whistling sound. ~~~
