Early the next morning.
The battle begins again.
Li Shimin's army began a fierce attack.
Although the number of troops was larger than that of Li Tang, the progress of the siege was still stagnant.
The quality of the soldiers in Luoyang City was inherently better than that of Li Shimin's army, and with the help of the city wall, it was very difficult to attack them.
Yang You on the city wall frowned and said: "Grandpa Huang! Their determination to attack the city today is more than a generation stronger than yesterday, right?"
Dugufeng nodded and said, "Yes! I don't know what the reason is?"
Wang Ming didn't know the reason either, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Dugu Feng said with a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid the soldiers on the city won't be able to hold on if we go like this!"
Yang You sighed: "Yes! We still have too few people, and we can't withstand their consumption."
Yang You and the others had uncontrollable melancholy on their brows. They looked at the battlefield below and gave up hope of victory.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The reason why today's siege intensity has increased is actually due to Kou Zhong's surrender.
When Kou Zhong and Li Shimin jointly attacked the city before, they were both worried about each other.
So each other is conserving their strength and trying to save as few of their own people from dying.
Fortunately, he will have an advantage in the subsequent battle.
As a result, Kou Zhong raised his troops and surrendered to Li Shimin last night.
Now Li Shimin no longer had a powerful opponent like Kou Zhong, and he annexed Kou Zhong's power without any effort.
Today, Li Shimin's strength has reached unprecedented heights.
So today he didn't divide his troops and started attacking directly from the main entrance.
An onslaught regardless of consumption.
According to his experience, the disparity in strength is so huge that as long as several consecutive fierce attacks are carried out, the will of the soldiers defending the city will collapse.
At this time, the only opponents in front of him were Yang Guang from Luoyang, and Chang'an's own father and eldest brother.
He only needs to deal with the last unconquered force in the world, and then he can lead his troops back to Chang'an.
He forced his father Li Yuan into the palace and passed the throne to him.
Although Li Shimin was on the battlefield in Luoyang City at this time, his heart had already flown to Chang'an.
He doesn't think he will lose!
The disparity in military strength is too great.
As for Yang Guang’s personal force!
This is not Siming Mountain, and his army is not a ragtag group like the Eighteenth Route Rebels.
It is impossible to reverse the situation in front of more than two million troops.
With so many great masters on his side, he didn't give in to him at all.
But after half a day of fighting,
Li Jing said with a gloomy face: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin! The defenders of Luoyang are very tenacious. We organized ten sieges but failed to capture them. We cannot continue like this."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes! If we continue like this, our army will become distracted."
At this time, Li Shimin was also a little worried.
At this time, Li Shimin was confused. He didn't know why the defenders of Luoyang City were so determined to defend the city.
During this period of continuous siege, Li Shimin's casualties were approaching 100,000.
But Li Shimin could still withstand only one-twentieth of the casualties.
But a lot of people died in Luoyang City, with at least 50,000 to 60,000 people killed or injured.
Luoyang's total military strength is only two to three hundred thousand.
The mortality rate is so high, but the morale of the army has not collapsed, and the will to fight is still tenacious.
Li Shimin sighed helplessly: "This army is really amazing. The tenacity of its will is something I have only seen in my military life."
Kou Zhong said solemnly: "Yes! I didn't expect that this Yang Guang was not very good as emperor, and his ability to train troops was so strong."
In fact, Kou Zhong was feeling extremely uncomfortable at this time.
Yesterday I was on an equal footing with Li Shimin, but today I have become Li Shimin's wage earner.
He actually wanted to leave without being tortured in this neither embarrassing nor embarrassing atmosphere.
But he couldn't leave.
Can't leave either.
First of all, his good brother Xu Ziling was unwilling to leave, saying that he wanted to contribute to the welfare of the people in the world.
Then Kou Zhong was worried about those men who surrendered to Li Shimin at this time.
He didn't dare to leave at this time.
He wanted to observe whether Li Shimin would treat his men well.
He was afraid that Li Shimin would use his men as cannon fodder in this siege.
So far in this battle, although his troops have been depleted a lot, Li Shimin's men have also been depleted.
It reassured him a lot.
But seeing the former Young Marshal's men dying one by one still made him feel bad.
Kou Zhong said seriously: "If this continues, I don't know how many people will be raped. It's better for us masters to steal the city!"
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "That's inappropriate! Yang Guang's martial arts is very strong. If the Grand Master steals the city, he will be in danger."
Ba Fenghan said: "They also have a lot of high numbers. I also met Dugu Feng yesterday. Judging from her aura, she has also entered the level of a grand master."
Xu Ziling hesitated and said: "It is not impossible for the Grand Master to forcefully climb the city wall and then open the city gate to welcome the army in."
Everyone looked at Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling said slowly: "There are only four Grand Masters in Luoyang, so we have an absolute advantage in numbers."
Shi Feixuan nodded and said, "Zi Ling is right."
Venerable Emperor Xin said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, the four men of Lao Na attacked the city and were blocked by Yang Guang's grandson Yang You. He was able to defeat four enemies with one, which is really extraordinary."
Master Wisdom also spoke: "His true energy is so powerful that the four of us were prevented from losing any of our true energy."
Venerable Huayan said with a serious face: "Yang You's martial arts has a bit of the [Immortal Seal] of Evil King Shi Zhixuan, and he is not afraid of group battles."
Lord Emperor Xin nodded and said: "Yes, he has the ability to draw and deflect our attacks."
Dao Xin sighed and said: "This Yang Guang can make the world angry when he becomes emperor, but his ability to teach martial arts is really extraordinary. He actually taught two great masters, Yang You and Dugu Feng."
None of the people present who knew martial arts nodded.
It’s actually not easy to break through the Grand Master.
There are many great masters in this world, but although most of them have good talents, they still depend on time, such as Fan Qinghui.
There are very few younger generations.
Xu Ziling said: "The level of this cultist can only be compared to that of Shi Zhixuan."
Everyone glanced at Hou Xibai and thought of Yang Xuyan yesterday and couldn't help but nod.
Although this Hou Xibai is a bit of an expert, his strength is indeed that of a great master.
Kou Zhong saw that the topic was going further and further, so he immediately said: "Leave this Yang Guang to me, Zi Ling and Fei Xuan! No matter how good Yang Guang's martial arts is, the three of us should be enough to entangle him."
Xu Ziling also nodded in agreement and said: "That's right! The rest will be left to you. As long as one of Yang You, Dugu Feng and the others is defeated, you can open the city gate."
Li Jing thought deeply: "I will let the soldiers launch a full-scale attack so that the Luoyang defenders cannot interfere with your battle."
After that, several people continued to discuss it for a while, and found that there were no shortcomings.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The sky was dark, and dark clouds were slowly drifting in the sky.
Under Luoyang City,
The war drums beat, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and dense soldiers rushed toward Luoyang City.
They held shields and pushed giant siege engines and battering rams.
Prepare to launch a new round of siege on Luoyang.
The defenders on the city also looked pale.
The disparity in military strength is too great. Although they are all strictly trained soldiers, they are also a little desperate at this time.
If these soldiers hadn't all repaired the [Iron Cloth Shirt] passed down by Wang Ming, they would have been unable to bear it long ago.
There is no problem for these soldiers to fight one against three, and it is not impossible for a few powerful soldiers to fight against ten.
But numbers are always fatal.
In terms of combat power, one of them can be used as three people, but they are still one person after all.
Their physical strength, energy, and spirit all have their limits.
They will also get tired and tired.
Li Shimin and the others used a continuous sea of people tactics and did not give them any time to rest.
Want to bring down these determined soldiers.
This time the siege was stronger than before, and the defenders were almost breathless.
But these soldiers endured it and were not overwhelmed by this despair.
In other words, it’s not that I wasn’t overwhelmed by the despair of losing.
They are desperate.
Knowing that they were completely unable to defeat this battle.
Three hundred thousand versus two million, there is no hope at all.
So they were really desperate.
But they are absolutely unwilling to surrender!
Even more unwilling to admit defeat.
They would rather die in this battle than admit defeat.
Give up?
So what if you admit defeat?
So what if you survive?
land? They ordinary people are not worthy of owning their own, so they can only sell their family and become sharecroppers.
Knowledge? They are not qualified.
future? They don't have an ancestor who was a high official to give them filial piety and integrity.
They don't want to live.
Wang Ming had shown them so much that they didn't care and were willing to go back to a world ruled by aristocratic families and their policies of obscuring the people.
Be a slave! Be a servant!
They don't want to!
They are willing to fight and die.
Die in this battle today!
Fall in this battle!
In guarding,
their human rights,
their freedom,
Their eyes are closed forever in this battle of dignity.
Fall into eternal sleep.
They don't want to see the cold and depressing world after failure.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Dugufeng and the others are also busy now.
A large number of experts began to try to climb over the city wall and open the city gate from the inside.
Several people had to come out to organize.
You Chuhong held the cane in her hand, which was completely transparent, made of jasper, about five feet long, and shaped like a bamboo branch.
Fan Qinghui and Monk Kong fought back easily after being suppressed.
You Chuhong's movement is so fast that it can make any young, strong and agile boy stunned.
"Touch! Touch!"
Fan Qinghui's long sword was deflected by the cane, and he quickly hit Fan Qinghui's body with another blow.
Liao Kong was extremely shocked. Although You Chuhong's weapon was a jasper staff that seemed to be only for people to enjoy, a hit from Fan Qinghui would definitely result in sudden death.
"when!"
At the critical moment, Liao Kong used his Zen staff to help Fan Qinghui block the fatal blow.
You Chuhong's thick white hair was blowing in the wind, her eyes shot out with arrow-like sharpness, her shape was extremely weird, her whole body was full of energy, and her figure suddenly rushed towards the two people opposite.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly. What frightened Fan Qinghui the most was that every time You Chuhong swung his staff, he produced body-cutting energy like a sharp blade, making it difficult for people to block him.
For a while, the sound of "chichi" kept coming out.
No soldier dared to come close within two feet of You Chuhong. The sound of the wind caused by her jade staff was extremely frightening, making people like them without true Qi feel pain in their ears before they even got close, so they dared to go there.
Liao Kong exclaimed: "[Cloak and Staff Technique] really deserves its reputation."
Fan Qinghui was also extremely horrified at this time. She had previously thought that she and You Chuhong were in the same Grand Master realm, and Liao Kong and her could definitely easily deal with You Chuhong, an old woman.
After I handed it over, it turned out to be nothing like that.
She was completely suppressed. If it weren't for Liao Kong's cooperation, she would have fallen under the jasper staff in thirty moves at most.
In fact, this is also normal.
Although the martial arts that Fan Qinghui has practiced is said to be one of the four great wonders in the world [Cihang Sword Codex], she is not good at it at all.
They are not in the realm of "Sword Heart Transparent", and there is no way to take advantage of You Chuhong.
Although Liao Kong succeeded in becoming a Grand Master after these years of training, his state of mind was no longer perfect after all, and his strength could no longer reach the most powerful level.
You Chuhong is much older than Fan Qinghui, and her skills are not comparable to Fan Qinghui's.
Moreover, Fan Qinghui’s thoughts were mostly focused on the conflicts in the world, so her achievements in the [Cihang Sword Code] were far behind those of her apprentice, Shi Fei Xuan.
You Chuhong was a master of swordsmanship in his early years. Later, he abandoned the sword and used a staff, and even created his own "Cloak Staff Technique".
Although You Chuhong was attacked by Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui together, it would not have any impact on her.
You Chuhong's [Cloak Staff Technique] is not afraid of group battles. The more opponents there are, the more effective it can be in attacking enemies with strength. Coupled with her mysterious footwork, even if she faces more opponents than her, it will still be like fighting alone, and there will be no problem that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands.
Fan Qinghui looked at You Chuhong, who already had terrifying fighting power, and thought to herself: "She has such terrifying fighting power, why is she so famous in the world and so hostile?"
actually,
This was mainly because something went wrong during You Chuhong's creation, causing her lungs to suffer serious hidden injuries.
She has been plagued by an asthma-like problem that prevents her from displaying her true strength.
In the original work, after she was treated by Kou Zhong, her combat power was average, mainly because she was too old and her body functions had declined in all aspects.
Over the years, Wang Ming would from time to time inject her with infuriating energy that contained very powerful health-preserving effects.
As she gets older, not only does her physical function not decline, but it actually gets better.
The wrinkles on her face have gradually disappeared, and outsiders would think she was only forty or fifty years old.
It is also for this reason that You Chuhong is absolutely loyal to Wang Mingshi. For people of this age, life span is something they care about very much.
Besides, the Dugu clan and Yang Guang are really tied up. If they abandon Yang Guang, their status will definitely plummet, and their vitality will be severely damaged.
So she had to work hard to stop Kong and Fan Qinghui here.
