After crossing the Yellow River, we are only a few hours away from Luoyang.
Wei Cheng also came to watch the fun this time. The main thing was to restrain everyone and not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
After all, this is all about productivity.
Only after traveling from a country with 1.3 billion people back to an era with a population of only tens of millions did Wei Cheng understand the importance of population.
War can be fought with elite troops and strong generals, but industrial development cannot be done. Without people, nothing can be accomplished.
Building roads, building bridges, and Wei Cheng also wanted to dig the Grand Canal, all of which required the support of a large population.
Woohoo~
The horn sounded, indicating that the army had arrived at its destination, Luoyang City.
Wei Cheng opened the curtain and glanced at the city in the distance. He suddenly felt that it would be good to capture Luoyang.
At the very least, it is big enough to accommodate more people and industries.
"Sir, Governor Xu proposed to set up camp here." Hao Zhao reported on horseback.
Wei Teng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let him not be restrained. Since he has been appointed as the governor, then everything will be based on him."
Hao Zhao responded with clasped fists, turned his horse's head and went to the front army to recover.
Wei Cheng then sat in the carriage and looked at Tian Feng and Jia Xu beside him.
The two of them took the map of Luoyang and were studying strategies to attack the city.
Wei Cheng had no interest in participating, so he had to pick up a military book to relieve his boredom.
"Sir, General Lu would like to see you."
As soon as Wei Cheng opened the book, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the car, and then the driver reported it.
Wei Cheng looked through the gauze curtains and saw that not only Lu Bu was here, but Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Hua Cun and others also gathered there.
Wei Cheng put down his military book and said to Tian Feng and Jia Xu, "Let's go down and walk around."
The two looked at each other and responded with a smile.
Outside the carriage, Lu Bu looked at Xu Huang, raised his head and said: "Gong Ming, I heard that the assassin killed the envoy directly in front of you, and injured two people. Haha, you Longshan Army can't do it either. Put your envoy in danger."
Xu Huang raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Bu, frowned and said, "What does General Lu mean? If he is dissatisfied with our Longshan Army, Xu then said, why bother with the yin and yang."
Lu Bu sneered and was about to speak.
Wei Cheng opened the car curtain and walked out.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly turned over and dismounted, clasped their fists and saluted: "Your Majesty (Master)!"
Wei Cheng held the armrest and said, "You guys are here together, but do you have something to say?"
Lü Bu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Lü Bu is familiar with the Luoyang defenders. Lü Bu has done his duty. In this attack on the city, Lü Bu has invited himself to be the vanguard."
Seeing that Lu Bu had taken the lead, Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I must be the vanguard."
Hua Li also hurriedly stepped forward, "Master Mingjian, our city guards can also be vanguards, they are no weaker than Longshan Hupo."
Wei Cheng looked at Zhang Fei and Hua Cuan angrily, then met Lu Bu's eyes and said, "Has Fengxian already thought of a strategy to attack the city?"
Lu Bu was stunned. What's there to think about? The five thousand tiger soul army could just press forward.
Seeing this, Wei Cheng shook his head and said: "There is no rush to attack the city. Any one of you can easily complete this task. However, what I want is to capture Luoyang at the minimum cost, not violence." means."
Mang Mountain.
The most beautiful place in the north of Luoyang City is also the place where countless emperors returned to their souls.
The Imperial Guards who were originally stationed here have all entered the city, and the vacated campsite is just convenient for Wei Cheng and his party.
Wei Min sat down and whispered to Wei Yan on his side, seeming to be talking about something happy.
Wei Cheng vaguely heard one or two sentences, which seemed to be related to Luoyang Palace. He was probably thinking about which palace he would live in after taking Luoyang.
Virtue~
Wei Cheng shook his head helplessly and looked at the seven burly men on one side.
The unparalleled god of war, Lu Bu.
Blood Hell God of War, Xu Huang.
The mighty God of War, Zhang Fei.
The god of war who shoots the sun, Huang Zhong.
The God of War in Jiaohai, Hua Cun.
The flying general and god of war, Zhao Feng.
There is also the newly promoted Ruiyong God of War, Zhang Liao.
Wei Cheng picked up the folding fan, unfolded it, fanned it twice, and said: "The seven of you go and declare a challenge. Let Yuan Shu select 500 elites to fight with you, or open the city gate and surrender obediently."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, seven versus five hundred?
Is this bullying them too much?
Of course, 'them' refers to Yuan Shu, Han Fu, and Liu Yu.
···
···
"It's ridiculous. Seven people want us to hand over Luoyang. How dare they?"
"Hahaha, this is not a good idea. As long as we can defeat those seven people, the Wei family will retreat. This is a great good thing!"
"Hey, that's right when you say that."
The gates of Luoyang City had long been closed. The soldiers who were speaking at this time were setting up fences outside the city and talking about the letter of war they had received in the morning.
It is said to be a letter of challenge, but in fact it is more like a 'charity' to Luoyang.
And without giving Yuan Shu and others a reason to refuse, they directly posted the letter of war on the city gate, and sent people to shout outside the city gate for an hour.
By this time, the whole city was aware of the commotion.
They range from princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns.
Everyone knew that the Wei family would only send seven people to attack the city this time, while Luoyang randomly selected 500 elite warriors.
If the Wei family wins, Liu Yu will abdicate and give way to Luoyang.
If Luoyang wins, the Wei family will immediately retreat.
This is clearly a step up. In fact, the Wei family doesn't want to go to war!
It's not just the people below who think so.
Even Yuan Shu and others were confused at this time, and they felt that Wei was just giving them a step down.
Seven against five hundred is impossible no matter how you think about it.
But the Wei family just proposed such a fight that seemed very unfavorable to them, which only meant that the Wei family didn't want to fight.
Yuan Shu's mood suddenly improved.
Even Liu Yu, who was still talking about abdicating yesterday, now straightened up his back.
"Hahaha, it seems that Wei Zhongdao is quite aware of the current affairs. Not to mention the 500 elites who are chosen at will, even if he randomly calls 500 civilians, he can win against seven people. This battle will be worry-free." Han Fu smiled. road.
Liu Yu also nodded repeatedly. No matter how powerful the seven people of the Wei family were, they would still be unable to defeat four people with two fists. What's more, the difference in numbers was still a hundred times. They could win in any fight.
Only Yuan Shu did not dare to be careless.
Unlike Liu Yu and Han Fu, he was someone who had personally seen the power of the Wei family.
The armor of the Longshan Army is almost invulnerable. If you want to defeat Xu Huang and others wearing Longshan Armor, you must select 500 strong warriors who can handle blunt weapons and long swords.
Blunt weapons are mainly used for attacking, while the long sword can be used both offensively and defensively. It can also control people at critical moments. As long as it is restrained by five or six long swords, even a beautiful tiger will not be able to move, let alone a person.
Therefore, Yuan Shu did not send his capable general Ji Ling. After all, this was not a battle in front of the battle, but a real battle on the battlefield.
Legions are definitely more advantageous than solo ones.
In just half a day, Yuan Shu selected 500 men from the army with an average height of over 185cm.
There are many tall and strong people in this era, especially in the military. Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, there have been height requirements for the selection of sergeants.
People who are tall and strong are naturally recruited by aristocratic families and royal families. After several generations, those who are taller and stronger become stronger.
Looking at the five hundred elites in front of him, Yuan Shu felt that he was sure of victory.
He even had the urge to imitate Wei's method of cultivating the Longshan Army. Based on these five hundred people, he would continue to absorb such tall and strong men. As long as there were five thousand, he might be able to follow suit. The Longshan Army gave it a try.
Dong Dong Dong~
Outside the city gate, war drums beat.
The royal nobles in Luoyang City have already boarded the city gate tower early. Since they don't have to defend the city, they can watch the show.
"Hey, there are really only seven people!"
"Great, it seems like we can't fight anymore, hahaha."
"It's just seven of them against five hundred elites. That's not a gift. This Wei Zhongdao is really an interesting person."
"Should I say it, the armor on them is so angry, it looks quite intimidating."
"The three sets on the left are Dragon Mountain Armor. They should be Blood Prison Xu Huang, Fighting Zhang Fei, and Flying General Zhao Feng."
"I don't know about the two on the right. The one in the middle is the Dragon Scale Armor of the Dragon Breath Guard. That person should be Sunshot Huang Zhong, who belongs to Nanyang like me."
"The man next to Huang Zhong is Jiao Haihua Silver Carp. It is said that this man is a water bandit and is best at water fighting."
"One of the two people on the right seems to be Lu Fengxian, but the armor he wears is the first time I've seen him."
"You haven't seen the latest issue of the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List". It's a tiger soul armor, and its defensive power is comparable to that of a dragon mountain armor."
"So, among these seven people, except the one next to Lu Fengxian, the other six are all the gods of war from the Temple of War!"
"This...it seems that we still don't know who will win and who will lose..."
Dong Dong Dong~
The war drums at the top of Luoyang City also started beating.
As the war drum beat, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and five hundred carefully selected strong men rode out on tall horses.
Facing the enemy army with only seven people, they all looked relaxed.
Although the equipment of Lu Bu, Xu Huang and others looked very intimidating, the number of people there really posed no threat to them.
"Brothers, don't be careless. These seven people are all from the Temple of War."
"Brother Sun, what's the origin of this War Temple, why are you so scared?"
The man who spoke had thick eyebrows and frowned, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He said in a deep voice: "Anyway, you should be careful. Try to use long swords against the enemy. Don't rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat. That will only kill you faster."
This person is none other than Sun Ce who defected to Yuan Shu.
Others didn't know how powerful the Wei family was, so how could he not know that, but the situation was stronger than others. In order to gain Yuan Shu's trust, he had no choice but to wear armor and go into battle.
But he was not worried about anything. He told everyone not to be careless, but in his heart he also felt that if five hundred against seven, he would win.
At this time, the drumming stopped suddenly.
A scene that shocked everyone suddenly appeared.
I saw that the seven people from the Wei family had actually scattered. Under everyone's confused gaze, these seven people actually 'surrounded' five hundred elites!
Originally, if the seven people were together, they could still take care of each other. If the seven people were back to back and supported each other, there might still be a slight possibility of victory...
But now that they are spread out like this, it means that each of them has to face the siege of more than 70 people alone.
And it is very likely that he will be attacked from both sides, and there is no one around him who can take care of him. What is the difference between this and dying?
"Hahaha……"
Upstairs at the city gate, Yuan Shu burst out laughing.
Not just him, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Sun Ce who was in the military formation.
Originally, if there were five hundred against seven people, victory would be certain. Now that these seven people are spread out, there really is no suspense.
Yuan Shu immediately asked the messenger to wave the signal. Seeing this, Sun Ce and others immediately divided the general formation into seven equal parts. There were sixty or seventy people in each direction to face Lu Bu, Xu Huang and others respectively.
At this time, Lu Bu suddenly said: "Everyone, we have agreed, the person who kills the least will be invited to drink when he returns."
Xu Huang, who was dozens of meters away, responded calmly: "That must not be Xu."
Zhao Feng, who was dozens of meters away, was still not used to the feeling of having headphones inserted into his ears, so he said sarcastically: "Zhao doesn't have money to treat guests."
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Senior Brother Zhao is rarely self-aware. It's okay. I'll lend you some money later, which will be enough for your treat, haha."
Zhang Fei went over again, but Zhang Liao didn't say anything, just stroking the hooked sickle he just got, his eyes under the mask were full of high-spirited fighting spirit.
Zhang Liao then walked over to Hua Cun and said with a smile: "It's nothing to treat me to a drink. If you have the guts, I'll also bet my bonus at the end of the year."
Huang Zhong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this my victory?"
The scene finally returned to Lu Bu. When he heard Huang Zhong's words, he couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Han spoke too soon."
Huang Zhong raised his right hand indifferently, took out a long tube from the saddle bag, slowly assembled it on his arm armor, and said in a leisurely tone: "To be honest, Young Master just now specifically told Huang to let Huang Only three shots can be fired.”
⊙＿⊙?
Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhao Feng, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, and Hua Cun all asked at the same time: "What do you mean?"
boom!
Before anyone could react, Huang Zhong fired directly at the five hundred elites and said with a smile: "That's what I mean!"
Flying sand and flying rocks!
Flesh and blood flying everywhere!
Limbs everywhere!
Dragon Breath Guard is basically a dimensionality reduction strike on the cold weapon battlefield.
Huang Zhong killed at least fifty or sixty people with this shot, more than twenty died on the spot, and the rest were either injured or affected by the shock.
Lu Bu reacted and cursed angrily: "Mother Xipi, Uncle Han, you can only fire one shot."
Zhang Liao exclaimed: "What kind of power is this?"
Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others were also shocked, not because they were surprised by the power of Tiangang Divine Soldier Thunder Dragon Cannon, but because if they didn't take action, their heads would be killed by Huang Zhong alone.
"kill!"
"Kill, Zihu, don't hold back, the Longshan Army is never at the bottom."
"Wenyuan, don't hold back. If you are at the bottom, you will lose the face of our Tiger Soul Army."
Lu Bu and Xu Huang looked at each other from a distance, and there seemed to be sparks flickering between them. With a cold snort, they waved the earth evil weapon in their hands and charged directly into the siege.
Wherever Lu Bu Fangtian drew his halberd, heads flew out with hot blood, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
Xu Huang's Pangu ax is even more terrifying. As long as it touches a little, it will be either dead or injured. Ordinary Changge can't resist it and will be broken if it touches it.
Several other directions.
Zhang Fei's eight-foot-long snake spear was much longer than Chang Ge's. The opponent Chang Ge couldn't touch him and was killed by his thrust.
Zhao Feng danced the gentian and bright silver spear, and used the spear technique of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix. He was the best at taking the heads of people among thousands of troops.
Zhang Liao and Hua Kun are not to be outdone...
Boom!
Zhang Liao looked at the fallen man with a stunned look on his face, and saw that this man had a bloody hole between his eyebrows for some reason.
Hua Cun turned around and roared: "Uncle Han, just be a human being!"
Huang Zhong galloped on his horse to avoid Chang Ge's pursuit. The wind dragon fire gun in his hand spit out tongues of fire from time to time, and he accurately snatched heads from a long distance.
Hearing Hua Cun's unwilling roar, Huang Zhong reluctantly stopped shooting.
Slowly you took out the Thunder Dragon Cannon and sighed: "Then I will fire one last cannon, and I will leave the rest to you."
Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhao Feng, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Hua Li: "No!"
