A new day, another busy and tiring day. Many generals who were protecting the country and the people outside led their soldiers and horses to gallop across the territory of the Tang Dynasty to catch all the bandits and rebels who would pop up from time to time to cause trouble to the place.
In Luoyang, Zhang Liang sat on the city gate tower and looked at a team coming from the east, his face very gloomy.
Before Zhang Liang could make any arrangements, another soldier came to report.
"General! There is also a team coming from the south." Zhang Liang sighed after hearing this.
"It seems that the two of them have reached some kind of tacit understanding, right?" Although Zhang Liang muttered to himself, he still stood up and looked in the direction of Chang'an, and started giving orders again.
"My fellow soldiers, our Luoyang is the last barrier to Chang'an. Your Majesty is unwell now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is supervising the country. However, the Turkic prince in the north has led his army to the north. Who is there next to Your Majesty? They actually returned to Chang'an on the grounds that the Qing Dynasty is with you? No! It's just for your majesty's position, but such an action is unjust and unjust. I am determined not to let them pass Luoyang. You officers and soldiers have been favored by Tang En in this life, and your majesty treats us so favorably and implements so many benevolent policies. Are you willing? Are you willing to let them go to Luoyang? Let Tang Dynasty fall into war again, and your family will not be safe." As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, there were uniform voices of reluctance above the city.
After these Tang soldiers kept waving their weapons and shouting that they were unwilling, Zhang Liang waved his hand and pointed the enthusiastic Tang soldiers to the front while suppressing the blood in their hearts.
"If you don't want to, then defeat them and let them know that there is no way to survive and win if they want to do such outrageous things at such a good time!" As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, the soldiers even screamed. , looking at Zhang Liang, he wanted to follow Zhang Liang and rush out of the city to chop down all the teams gathered by these aristocratic families to the ground.
Although they were gathered from aristocratic families, not many of them wore uniform armor, and they all wore a variety of armors.
Although there are various types of armor, the armor preserved from the Han Dynasty also provided courage to the soldiers of these noble families. Although the morale on the city was high, they were not discouraged at all. Under the command of the people arranged by the family to lead them, they assembled all kinds of equipment needed to attack the city step by step.
The ladder chariot and the thunder chariot from the Cao and Wei Dynasties. After all the preparations were completed, war drums were beating loudly in the south and east at the same time. The teams of the aristocratic families roared and screamed, and under the leadership of some flags that could not be understood what they meant, they quickly rushed towards Luoyang City. Come.
Luoyang More than ten years ago, Wang Shichong stood firm in Luoyang to resist Li Shimin. The people of Luoyang had just experienced the painful experience of being forced to defend the city.
Now hearing the roar of the mountain and the tsunami-like shouts of killing and the thrilling sound of war drums and horns, the bloody spirit engraved in the bones can't help but be aroused again.
Although more people are afraid, those who are willing to work under such good living conditions and feel that their lives are promising have given up.
"Where did these rebels come from? Your Majesty is so benevolent and has such a benevolent government, why do you still want to cause trouble? I have to contribute my own strength! If not for anything else, just so that I can live a good life!" said a man With that said, he was able to lead several companions around him.
Although Luoyang has trained young people, their morale is not high. The last time Luoyang defended Wang Shichong, they were defeated. This time it was another defense.
They were afraid that they would be liquidated after the city was broken, but after the man told the true situation, they believed that His Majesty would not let them down, and the morale of their team finally increased a little.
Originally they were cautious and cautious in transporting the city defense materials to the top of the city, but this time everyone wanted to get their wings and fly directly to the top of the city to send the city defense materials up to fight against the desperate rebels who dared to attack Luoyang. military.
Although the aristocratic families gathered a lot of people, they rushed towards Luoyang quickly under the call of the little bosses.
However, a moat outside Luoyang City stumped them.
"You should move forward quickly!"
"Don't worry! There is a river!" The person behind pushed the person in front to move forward, but the person in front was indeed standing stupidly by the river.
"We can't go any further. There is no bridge and this is a moat. Do you want us to go down and swim across the moat?" Some soldiers shouted, but the people behind were in chaos and some were joking.
"It's okay to swim over there. Let's see if your level is the same as that of a dog."
"hateful!"
"Hahaha!" They are not from the same family, so it is okay to joke with each other, and this is the only fun between them.
As they stood by the moat without making any move, they just kept waving their weapons at the top of the city, shouting and cursing for the defenders on the top of the city to surrender, so that they could not attack the top of the city and take down the city. took their lives.
However, this lively scene did not last long. Zhang Liang was originally worried that the numerous rebels would suffer heavy casualties, but at this level, they dared to attack Luoyang City?
Then he opened his mouth with a sneer, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"Archers, prepare!" After Zhang Liang's words, the defenders on the city put aside the spears, swords and shields they were preparing to face the enemy. They picked up the bow hanging on their waist and drew a sharp arrow, waiting at any time. Following Zhang Liang's order.
Zhang Liang raised his sword, pointed in one direction and shouted to release arrows. Countless sharp arrows were shot from the top of Luoyang City.
Although there is a moat outside Luoyang City, the width of the moat is not too wide, and the sharp arrows quickly cross the moat and hit the people standing next to the moat.
"ah!"
"Help!"
"I don't want to die!" A group of rebel soldiers standing next to the moat were shot on the spot without even reacting. Their bodies fell into the moat, dyeing the clear river water with a touch of red.
However, more rebels began to run around at the scene. Have they ever been targets for others? As the losers of a wealthy family, they show off their power every day. When have they ever been bullied like this?
But before they could run back, those behind them also started to get into chaos, some running forward and some running backward, just to get a way to survive.
It was such a chaotic team. Without Zhang Liang's attack, it would have turned into this after a wave of arrows. Zhang Liang held his beard and laughed.
"A mob with nothing but wine and food!" The expressions on the faces of the generals from the aristocratic families in the rear were quite ugly.
"Hateful! I have calculated everything wrong, these people who have never been on the battlefield are so useless." A person who looked like a general said this, and the others hurriedly said
"It's better to retreat the soldiers. Fortunately, we only arranged a few thousand soldiers to attack the city this time. If the whole army were to attack the city, we might not suffer heavy losses." The people of this wealthy family had no choice but to wave their hands. The thousands of soldiers who were attacking the city were asked to retreat, and now the teams of the aristocratic families who had had a chance to breathe rushed back.
They were still very excited and full of momentum, thinking that they could reach the top of Luoyang City in one breath. The leading troops of the aristocratic families who had captured Luoyang City ran back in a swarm.
Behind them was the original team of tens of thousands of aristocratic families. These people who had returned, in order to seek safety, rushed towards the military formation regardless of their concerns.
At this moment, even the generals of the aristocratic family did not expect it, and they hurriedly waved the weapons in their hands and shouted.
"Don't attack the formation, go from the two wings." It's just that his shouting voice was not decisive enough, and his speaking voice was not that loud. Even the generals from other aristocratic families who accompanied him heard it and did not react. The results of proper handling are very unexpected.
Thousands of people rushed into the formation of tens of thousands of people, but they suddenly dispersed. The ranks of tens of thousands of aristocratic families were in chaos. Seeing such a scene, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh.
The morale on the city was originally very high, but a wave of arrows threw the rebels below into chaos.
However, Zhang Liang's sudden sigh also made his soldiers very curious.
"Why are the generals sighing? We seem to have defeated them." But as soon as the deputy general asked Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang shook his head.
"I'm really sad that our Tang Army actually has such soldiers. It's really a disgrace to our Tang Army." Although Zhang Liang was telling the truth, the soldier did look at General Zhang Liang and said.
"General, you are the serious general who commands the king's army and is invincible, and they are just a bunch of rabble. Even if they were originally some elites, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of this rabble." The soldier couldn't help it. He said that the team assembled by the aristocratic families in front of him was not elite, and they could not be considered elite and could not stand on the stage, but Zhang Liang looked at them with a heavy expression.
"Although they are a temporary team put together by ordinary people, they have been deceived. For me to attack them is like waving the butcher knife in my hand at sheep. I can't bear it." Zhang Liang said. Said, the deputy general hurriedly agreed with Zhang Liang.
"What the general said is true, so why don't you stick here and take the initiative to arrange for some intelligence personnel to send them some letters and ask them to surrender or disperse?"
"This is a good idea." Zhang Liang, who was struggling not to raise the butcher's knife against them, suddenly heard his lieutenant say this and pat him on the shoulder.
"Okay, you have a good idea, then I will leave this matter to you." The lieutenant general was overjoyed.
"Don't worry, General. I will definitely do this properly. Even if I can't recruit them, I will still let them cause chaos." In this way, there were no accidents in Luoyang City, and this wealthy family The generals also discovered that although they had a lot of manpower, it was impossible to deploy them like an arm and a hand, so they had to take a rest and train after besieging Luoyang.
So another bizarre scene occurred. The defenders at the top of Luoyang City were waiting for danger, and the teams in the two military camps below Luoyang City were constantly training there.
Suddenly Zhang Liang also discovered the problem
"The troops in this military camp can actually mobilize each other. It seems that the two princes are just their cover." With this thought, Zhang Liang couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
"Should we send someone to rescue the two princes from their military camp? Under such circumstances, the aristocratic family has no brand name, and everyone in the world can punish those who are rebellious officials and traitors." The more Zhang Liang thought about this, the more he got more and more. Thinking that this plan was feasible, he called the deputy general who was responsible for delivering the message and arranged a new task.
