Chapter 299 Attacking Luo County
Guanghan, Luo County!
Mianzhu is an important town that Liu Yan has been running for many years. Luo County was the county seat of Guanghan a long time ago, and it was also the last barrier in the north of Chengdu, Shu County.

After taking down Mianzhu, Li Yao led his army straight to Luo County.

Not long ago, Dong Fu put forward three conditions, and he would surrender in Kaesong only if they agreed to all of them.

Li Yao agreed to his three conditions as he wished, so Dong Fu opened the city gate and led all the officials in the city, and the soldiers and civilians surrendered without a fight.

As for what to do with Dong Fu, Li Yao already knew what to do. He thought that he could avoid the final liquidation by creating an image of a loyal minister and gaining the support of all the officials in the county and the army and people in the city.

Perhaps the person who came forward was always Liu Yu, and it was a big mistake to give him a wrong message and make him make a wrong judgment, thinking that Liu Yu had a lot of power to speak.

Since you are loyal to the imperial court and the emperor, you might as well go to Chang'an to serve as a servant to assist His Majesty. It doesn't matter if you are older, it is safer to be a veteran.

However, the road to Shu is so steep, if something unexpected happens, it is actually quite normal.

Li Yao has already planned his ending...

Speaking of which, it is just under this Luo County city!
Liu Yu stepped forward again, saying one after another that he would surrender to the city and avoid a big battle. Liu Yu was deeply relieved by this. Facing Luo County, he also planned to try his best:
"Who is the guard at the head of the city?"

Right at the head of Luoxian County, Wu Yi was under a lot of pressure when he saw the continuous army formation with no end in sight. Hearing these words, he was relieved:

"Taiwei, you don't have to persuade me to surrender, I, Wu Yi, will never open the city and surrender!"

"Wu Yi?!"

When Liu Yu heard this name, he thought about it after a little thought:

"I know you. You are Wu Kuang's nephew. Wu Kuang used to be an officer of the great general. Later... and later... various things happened one after another. Wu Kuang's whereabouts have been unknown since then. Now that the imperial army has arrived, why should you waste your life, and even waste the lives of the whole city? If Kaesong surrenders, you can save yourself, and all the officials, soldiers and civilians. Isn't that good?"

Of course very good!

But Wu Yi could not surrender. He was different from Dong Fu. His younger sister married Liu Yan’s son, and he and Liu Yan were related by marriage. As the core figure of the Dongzhou faction, his family members were all in Chengdu and by Liu Yan’s side. Once he surrendered, Liu Yan would never let his family members go.

Wu Yi gritted his teeth, looked towards the city and shouted loudly:
"Taiwei Xiu wants to persuade again, otherwise don't blame me for shooting arrows. I have a strong city and tens of thousands of soldiers. Behind me is Chengdu. Reinforcements, food and grass will continue to be sent. What can you do to me?!"

Having said that, Wu Yi looked at the people on the left and right, and most of them still had expressions of fear on their faces. He knew that not only he was afraid, but everyone else was also afraid. He took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted:
"When my Duke Ming gathers an elite army of tens of thousands from Shu County, Ba County, and Nanzhong, he will march northward to fight against the rebels and rescue His Majesty. Now, no one knows that His Majesty is trapped by the rebels. The Taiwei is a family member of the Han Dynasty and an important minister of the country. How can he help the rebels instead of Liu!"

How can there be an elite army of tens of thousands, those tyrants in Nanzhong, the barbarian chiefs, and the barbarian chiefs may not dare to lead troops to come, and those families in Ba, Shu, and those aristocratic families may not be willing to help.

But as soon as these words came out, Wu Yi looked at the people around him, at least his confidence and courage were ignited, and his face was no longer so scared.

On the contrary, Liu Yu at the bottom of the city was ashamed when he heard this. Although he tried his best to avoid fighting along the way, he did not try to persuade Liu Yan and help Li Yao. He just sighed heavily, and finally looked at the top of the city and shouted:
"Then take care, I will try my best to persuade them not to massacre the city, not to kill innocent people, and not to hurt the people..."

Having said that, Liu Yu had no choice but to leave lonely.

But everyone at the top of the city, including Wu Yi, all changed their faces when they heard this. The two words "slaughter the city" meant that blood flowed like a river.

In the army formation outside the city, Beigong Boyu was not only not disappointed when he failed to persuade him to surrender, but was even very happy, laughing loudly:

"If you don't want to surrender, then go to war. I haven't been on the battlefield in person for a long time. If I lead an army over here, how can I return without success!"

Li Yao heard the words and looked over, he just sent a letter, Beigong Boyu personally led the army to come, this is what gave him an absolute advantage in strength.

Now that Beigong Boyu wanted to fight a battle, Li Yao decided not to use tricks and tricks. It is unknown whether Beigong Boyu will be able to fight again after this battle. If so, let's fight!
He said to Beigong Boyu:

"This Wu Yi doesn't know how to praise, so break his city and cut off his head. Let's retreat and set up camp today. After building the siege equipment, we will formally attack Luo County!"

Beigong Boyu nodded. The road to Shu is steep and he is quite tired after the journey, so he should rest and build siege equipment before officially attacking Luo County, saying:
"Yes, this Wu Yi, I must break his city and cut off his head!"

Then Li Yao directly ordered:

"retreat!"

This time the persuasion to surrender did not go well, so the only option was to set up camp and attack the city, but after Luo County, it was Shu County, which was Chengdu.

I heard Dong Fu and others who surrendered said that Liu Yan moved south in a hurry mainly because he fell ill, which was very serious and life-threatening.

Don't let them take down Luoxian County and die of illness before they hit Chengdu.

At this time, the army had begun to retreat slowly, and everyone at the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief, but they still held their breath in the end, because there were still cavalry outside the city, and a large number of cavalry were cruising.

The central part of Yizhou is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains, and there is no large area of ​​grassland. Where have I seen so many cavalry? Just looking at them, Wu Yi did not dare to lead the army out of the city.

After walking out of the Shu Road, the cavalry could finally show their power, and relying on their terrifying deterrence, they could suppress the defenders in the city.

Since this day, those cavalrymen have come every day, constantly inviting battles, and constantly mocking. Even if the morale of the defenders began to decline, Wu Yi always chose to defend the city.

Wu Yi didn't dare to take off his armor or leave the city easily. After staying like this for seven days, the enemy came.

If you don't come, it's nothing, if you come, it's scary, directly send troops to attack from three sides, leaving only a way out in the south, encircling the three ques and one, putting pressure on the enemy, but not really pushing the enemy to a desperate situation, and reducing the defender's heart to fight to the death.

Ladders, well rails, siege vehicles, catapults... There are many kinds of court craftsmen, as long as some of them are brought with the army, there will be no shortage of siege equipment.

The thundering shouts of killing were like this every day from morning to noon, and every time they attacked from three sides, the superiority of troops was manifested at this moment. Wu Yi claimed to have tens of thousands of soldiers, but how could there be so many people? After being beaten for only ten days, he showed signs of decline, morale was low, and people panicked.

The city is about to break...
