Chapter 717
It turns out that the four lots written by Bu Dugen write the four characters West, East, South, and Emperor, representing the three major urban areas in the west, southeast and southeast respectively. The "Emperor" represents the imperial city and the urban area. In other words, the largest piece of fat is the urban area represented by the "Emperor".
The remaining three people were drawing lots respectively. The Right Xian King caught the "Nan", Qiu Liju caught the "East", and the "Emperor" fell into Ke Bineng's hands. Ke Bineng was very happy and laughed, while Qiu Liju looked disappointed. Bu Dugen said: "Everyone, God's will is like this. I hope that after the city is broken, you will act according to the will of heaven." Everyone nodded.
Ke Bineng said: "Since each of us has captured a lot, tomorrow our four armies will attack Luoyang at the same time according to the directions they have obtained." Everyone nodded.
Early the next morning, the sound of the barbarians' horns broke the silence of the morning. Four barbarian armies advanced to Luoyang City from east, west, south and north, and set off to attack the city.
Chen Gong stood on the west gate tower, looking at the enemy troops gathered outside the city, frowned tightly. At this time, an officer rushed to Chen Gong and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the army is ready! But the enemy is powerful, I'm afraid..." Chen Gong said, "Tell everyone that if you cannot defend the city wall, once the barbarians enter the city, their parents and children will be brutally killed, and their wives and daughters will become all things of barbarians! Today's battle is not for the King of Qin, but for our parents, wives and children!" The officer replied and ran down immediately.
Chen Gong couldn't help but look up into the distance, with a look of hope in his eyes.
Not long after, the Wuwan people first launched an attack, and then the other three barbarian troops launched fierce attacks on the other three sides of Luoyang. The war began. Due to the lack of troops in the city, they are now divided into four defenses, making the troops in each direction very limited. The barbarian army continued to attack the city. Not long after, the moat and the rolling stones could not stop the enemy. More and more enemy troops appeared on the city, with swords and swords flying everywhere on many cities, and the officers and soldiers on both sides were fighting bloody!
Chen Gong frowned and stared at the battlefields everywhere, and his palms holding the hilt had turned white due to excessive force. The officer beside him saw that the battle situation at the city walls was as critical as an ant on a hot pan, and could not help but say to Chen Gong: "Sir..." Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Rise the red flag!" The officer quickly responded and immediately raised a fiery red flag to his subordinates.
When the generals fighting fiercely at the city walls everywhere saw the red flag, they immediately ordered their subordinates to retreat. When the barbarians saw the Qin army retreat, their morale was greatly boosted, and they roared and quickly expanded the gap!
At this moment, many Qin soldiers appeared in front of the barbarians carrying countless bamboo tubes. The barbarians did not take the bamboo tubes seriously, and continued to roar and rush, trying to completely defeat the Qin army on the top of the city. Suddenly, the barbarians saw the many bamboo tubes in front of them making loud noises and sprayed out countless fire dragons! The barbarians were shocked and could not hide, and were swept up by countless fire tortoises. In an instant, countless city heads burned violently, and countless barbarians were screaming by the flames. Many people were panicked and wanted to escape, but fell from the high city wall. The scene was thrilling! Ke Bineng and others only felt inexplicable when they saw the sudden change on the city head!
Countless turret cabinets were used, and in an instant, countless barbarian officers and soldiers who were attacking the city were trapped in the sea of fire. When the turret cabinet was sprayed, the crossbowmen who had been ready to go shot together, shooting countless barbarian officers and soldiers. Then the other officers and soldiers rushed up with long spears and swords, killing the enemy! Screams one after another, and the already chaotic barbarian army could not resist being killed and flesh and blood were flying! The barbarian officers and soldiers were frightened and fled down the city wall. Many people were panicked and fell from a high place to make shrill screams!
The attacks of the barbarian armies were repelled. Ke Bi Neng and others were extremely annoyed and ordered the reorganization of the team to continue the attack. However, at this moment, the Xicheng Gate suddenly opened, and the few defenders in the city actually dared to attack and rushed into the chaotic Bu Dugen army. The officers and soldiers were like tigers coming out of their cages, and they were in a state of unstoppable direction. Bu Dugen army was frightened and was suddenly in chaos by the Qin army. The Qin army officers and soldiers took advantage of the momentum to rush and kill, and the entire Bu Dugen army was killed and retreated quickly. At this moment, the sound of the golden bell on the city gate tower sounded loudly. When the Qin army officers and soldiers who were killing were heard, they immediately stopped their rushing steps and quickly retreated to the city.
The battle outside the Xicheng Gate came to an end. There were only corpses everywhere on the ground, and those who were not dead were crawling hard on the ground. Bu Dugen's army was killed and injured by the unexpected round of the Qin army, and their morale was greatly reduced.
Bu Dugen was shocked and angry, and then gathered his troops back to attack the city. At the same time, the barbarian soldiers from the other three directions also launched a fierce attack again. The battle was in full swing, and the barbarian officers and soldiers had previous experience. This time they carried a large number of iron shields and crossbows to attack the city. Their wishful thinking was to use the iron shield to resist the opponent's terrible fire-breathing weapons, and at the same time use the crossbow to shoot the Qin army at a distance as long as possible, and then take the opportunity to defeat them!
The barbarian army rushed to the city with arrows that were constantly shooting down from the city, and raised their shields to climb. At this moment, the rumbling sound from the city was loud and countless objects were thrown down! The barbarian warriors didn't care, thinking that this was just a rolling stone wood thrown by the enemy! Everyone just wanted to climb up as soon as possible to kill those hateful Han people!
However, something unexpected happened again. The objects thrown by the Qin army suddenly emitted a huge roar, like thunder and thunder, and huge fireworks surged out! The barbarian warriors caught off guard were thrown into the air by powerful power! It turned out that the objects thrown by the Qin army this time were not ordinary rolling stone wood at all, but sky-blasting thunder filled with gunpowder and irritation oil. Although these things are far from comparable to the explosive bombs in modern society, they are definitely an unparalleled terrible weapon in this era! The huge roar was like the most terrifying thunder, and the huge fireworks surged overwhelmed the barbarian warriors, and the fierce attack momentum of the barbarian army disappeared!
Ke Bineng and others had never seen such a scene, and they were all shocked!
When the thunder roared and returned to calm, the surging fireworks disappeared without a trace. Under the city wall, there was a tragic scene of corpses everywhere. Many barbarian warriors who had been blown off were screaming and struggling. The scene was very terrifying!
After a while, the order of the barbarian army to stop attacking was conveyed, and the barbarian army stopped its fierce attack on Luoyang and retreated into the camp.
Chen Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. However, Chen Gong did not feel relaxed at all. Because he understood very well that the main reason why the barbarian army was repelled today was because they were unprepared for the endless new weapons that were emerging on their own. In addition, they suddenly felt afraid of those powerful weapons, so they attacked less than half a day and hurriedly retreated. But he didn't think that the barbarians would stop there, and they would definitely attack again. When they launched another fierce attack, it would be a life-and-death battle.
At this moment, Chen Gong heard a noise coming from the city. He was surprised, so he walked towards the sound, walked to the railing, and looked at the city. Concubine Dong, dressed in men's clothing, actually led many palace maids and eunuchs in the same men's clothing, carrying a lot of wine and meat to the city to work on the city!
Chen Gong couldn't help but smile, thinking that this imperial concubine was really unexpected!
Outside the city, there was a depressed and annoying atmosphere in the tent of the barbarian army. Qiu Liju scolded and said, "How come those hateful Han people have so many strange weapons! It's so hateful! They are about to break through the city!"
Bu Dugen said: "Although the enemy's weapons were somewhat unexpected, I think there could never be many powerful weapons! Otherwise, how could anyone have a way out for others? In today's battle, those weapons must have been consumed almost the same! Besides, in today's battle, we can clearly see that the enemy's troops are insufficient! With our strong military strength, we must have captured Luoyang!" Turning his head to look at Ke Bineng and said: "We will attack again tomorrow, and we will definitely break through the city in one fell swoop!" Ke Bineng nodded and said decisively: "Okay! Continue to attack fiercely tomorrow morning!"
Chen Gong got down from the city gate tower and walked to Concubine Dong who was bandaging an injured soldier. He squatted down, took the gauze from Concubine Dong, and smiled and said, "Empress, I'll do it." Concubine Dong was a little ashamed because she was really clumsy in bandaging.
After Chen Gong finished bandaging the wounded soldiers, he asked someone to carry him down to rest. He turned around and clasped his fists at Concubine Dong and said, "Empress, please borrow a step to speak." Concubine Dong nodded. Chen Gong then took Concubine Dong to a secluded place near the city gate tower.
Chen Gong clasped his fists at Concubine Dong and said, "Empress, the situation is tense now. I dared to ask Empress to leave Luoyang tonight and go to Xuchang."
Concubine Dong was surprised and hurriedly said, "In today's battle, the barbarians cried and howled and corpses were everywhere. Why did Lord Chen say such words?"
Chen Gong said: "It's true that the situation is very dangerous to us. The victory of today's battle is actually very lucky. The enemy's momentum is beyond my previous expectations! When the barbarians attack again tomorrow, our army will have no unexpected means, and it will inevitably be a life-and-death battle! I really have no idea whether our army can defend it! The identity of the empress is extraordinary and must not fall into the hands of the enemy! So please leave Luoyang quietly tonight! I will send capable officers and soldiers to protect the empress to Xuchang safely!"
Concubine Dong frowned, then clasped her fists at Chen Gong and said, "My lord, I appreciate my wishes! But how can I escape from danger as a concubine! Don't worry! I will never let myself fall into the hands of a foreigner! If the city is broken, I will end myself first!"
