Chapter 903 Attacking Luoyang Central

Luoyang City has high walls and thick walls, and the city is huge. If the defensive force is sufficient, it will be difficult for more than [-] people to attack.

This time the Wei army sent [-] troops to take Luoyang, and the troops to besiege the city were insufficient. Fortunately, there were not many Qing troops in the city, only about [-].

Now, the Wei army has been under the city of Luoyang for half a month, and several tentative attacks have been repelled by the defenders.

In a war, the upper ranks attack the plan, the second attack the diplomatic relations, the second attack the soldiers, and the lower attack the city.

At this time, Luoyang is already an isolated city, and the Wei army occupies the northern part of Henan, so it can completely consume it until the city's food is exhausted.

However, Nanming's actions made Gao Yihuan a little worried after all, so Jin Shenghuan hurried down to Luoyang.

On November 28, the [-] Wei army, except for the army guarding the camp, began to leave the camp after a full meal.

In this battle, do not play tricks, use real swords and guns, and seize the city with your life in exchange for your life.

In the early morning, under the city of Luoyang, the cavalry of the Wei army roared to and fro to occupy the battlefield. People in the camps shouted horses, and the sound of trumpets and drums continued.

The soldiers of the Qing army on the city wall were waiting in formation. They shouted loudly and directed some civilian men to carry earth, rocks and wood. The red barbarian cannons on the city wall roared and attacked the artillery formation of the Wei army.

In the urn city, groups of riprap planes were distributed along the back of the wall, ready to bombard the Wei army approaching the city.

Outside the city, considering the lack of strength of the Qing army, the Wei army divided into several groups and attacked a city gate respectively.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan rode his horse through each formation to boost morale, and then returned to the central army.

Today's siege, the Wei army mainly attacked, east, south, and west of the city, leaving the north unattacked, in order to hope that the defenders would abandon the city, and then the cavalry assembled in the central army would chase and kill the fleeing Qing army.

At this time Jin Shenghuan returned to the central army, behind him were horse troops drawn from various battalions, in front of him was the Jianrui battalion attacking Ximen, banners were flying in the ranks, ladders, shield chariots and other equipment stood up.

"Let's start!" Jin Shenghuan waved his hand and ordered.

A horn sounded in the army, monitoring the city gate to prevent the cavalry in the city from raiding the Wei army and the rangers of the Wei army in the mortar array, and retreated one after another.

At this time, in the artillery formation of the Wei Army, a Hongyi cannon suddenly retreated, and a black shell flashed through the air, hitting the city wall, and ice slag splashed everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, two miles in front of the Hongyi artillery array, there was the same roar from the Wei Jun mortar artillery array, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose, and a flowering bomb drew a parabola in the air and landed on the top of the city. Suddenly there was a loud "boom", a red light burst out, and a cloud of black smoke rose.

The artillery of the Wei army began to test fire, and the Qing army on the city was thrown away by the air waves. The loud screams of the Qing army and the miserable howls of the wounded soldiers came from the top of the city.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Jianrui battalion who were in charge of attacking Ximen were mobilizing before the battle, and the general Dang Shousu was assigning tasks to his officers. With the city.

"Don't look, just listen to the general's greeting!" Dang Shousu said loudly.

When the military academies of various bureaus and divisions heard the news, they could only turn their heads reluctantly. Wei Junjiu bombarded the city, but it was not a common thing.

When the cannon hit and exploded at the top of the city, the soldiers of the Wei army were extremely excited and felt particularly motivated, which was easier than any pre-war mobilization.

Dang Shousu went on to say: "According to the previous test, the Tartars arranged stone throwing machines in the urn city. The urn city is a protrusion. If they attack the two sides of the urn city and the walls on both sides, they will suffer from the inside of the city and the urn city. Trebuchets, bows and arrows, firecrackers, and cannons attack. Therefore, when attacking, the three divisions A, B, and C mainly attack from the front of the urn. Divide left and right along the urn city to rush towards the city gate and open the city gate. The rest of the divisions attack the city wall to contain the Tartars~"

The battalions of the Wei Army were mobilizing and assigning tasks, but the artillery of the Wei Army did not stop.

After the test firing, the Hongyi Pao Array and the Mortar Pao Array began to bombard Luoyang violently.

For a moment, the two artillery arrays were filled with gunpowder smoke, and deafening gunfire erupted from the positions. Thick white smoke covered the long front line. The iron bullets of each artillery retreated and rushed out of the muzzles and hit the city wall. Slag and gravel splashed, shaking the city and the mountains.

The flowering bullets fired by the mortar array were thrown into the city, and thick smoke billowed from the city walls and the city pool. The scene was spectacular, and even the Wei soldiers themselves were shocked.

The roar of the artillery array filled the city of Luoyang with gunpowder smoke, and the soldiers of the Wei army who lined up under the city felt the shaking of the city being bombed, and their hearts jumped wildly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

With this kind of bombardment, when the city is attacked later, there will probably be no one in the city.

At this time, the flames of the Wei army's cannons flickered, and the sound of bricks and stones collapsing from the Luoyang city head continued, as well as the screams and exclamations of the soldiers at the head of the city.

The Wei Army artillery fired three rounds in a row, and the artillery array outside the west city alone poured 150 solid bullets and [-] flowering bullets into the city.

At this time, Luoyang City was in a mess, with smoke and dust billowing in the city, blurred vision, screams for help everywhere, and the collapsed Qing army crouched behind the wall, covered their ears, and screamed in despair .

The soldiers of the Qing army who were hiding behind the city wall were leaning against the wall, holding weapons in their hands, with nervous expressions, and did not dare to move.

He Tuo heard the gunfire outside the city cease, and immediately ordered, "Ma Ning, go up and have a look!"

A team of the Han army with the white flag hurriedly rushed into the smoky city wall, and then dragged the injured soldiers down the city.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Wei army's artillery array roared again, and the flames flickered on the two artillery arrays, concentrating their fire on the Urn City.

The solid bullets fired by the Hongyi Cannon hit the city wall, causing the entire city to vibrate violently. The splashed ice slag and gravel fell from mid-air, clanging and hitting the running soldiers, which made people feel abnormal. fear.

At the top of the city, the gunners of the Qing army were manipulating the artillery to shoot at each other. A flowering bomb fell on the enemy platform, and the red light burst out. The explosion sent him flying, his body hit the wall stack, his head tilted, and the seven holes that were shocked bled to death.

At the same time as the shelling, outside the city gates, the drums of the Wei army's battalions were beating. Outside the west gate, a thousand Wei army musketeers were pushing the shield cart forward, and two thousand Wei army infantry were hugging the siege tower and carrying Yunti followed closely behind and began to attack the west city.

At this time, the soldiers of the Wei army came in the wild, and when He Tuo learned that the infantry of the Wei army had begun to attack the city, he immediately ordered, "Bomb with catapults!"

Behind the city wall, the soldiers of the Qing army urged the civilians to pull down the throwing rod and ignite the fuse of the thunder, and then the throwing rod bounced off, and the thunders were thrown out one after another.

Boom boom boom!The explosion sounded above and around the heads and sides of the soldiers of the Wei army, and the bodies of the advancing soldiers of the Wei army were immediately thrown away by the explosion.

Seeing this, Dang Shousu immediately drew his sword and pointed angrily, "Kill! Rush over!"

The trebuchet is placed behind the city wall and can avoid the bombardment of the Wei army, but it also has a disadvantage. Because it is projectile, it can only bombard a certain distance. Once the Wei army approaches the city wall, it will enter the dead end of the trebuchet. Don't worry about being attacked by it. bombardment.

Seeing black objects jumping up in the city, Wei Jun in the wilderness screamed loudly and started running wildly, rushing down the city.

At the same time, He Tuo roared, "Go to the city to meet the enemy!"

The soldiers of the Qing army on the back of the city wall suddenly crowded up the city from the climbing steps~~~~~~
