    In Nancheng, under a general's flag, an inconspicuous-looking general wearing a full body of mail and a mask was riding on a flaming red war horse. His deep eyes were shining with light, and he looked coldly.  Looking at the tall Luoyang South City Wall a mile away.  Hou Junji was surrounded by several subordinates. He gritted his teeth and retreated. The long arrow on his shoulder was still shaking, and blood was flowing everywhere, but his face was full of shame. He said softly: "  I'm sorry, Commander, the general is incompetent and failed to suppress the bows and arrows at the top of the city." The general riding a Persian sweat-blooded horse named Shiwachi opened his face and saw Li Shimin's handsome and handsome face.  , suddenly revealed, he smiled slightly and waved his hand: "It's okay, you have done your best. General Hou, go and pull out the arrow to heal the injury first, so as not to suffer any sequelae." Hou Junji nodded, and several people wearing coats  The medical officers rushed forward and helped him retreat. Li Shimin's eyes flashed coldly: "Send the order, the trebuchets bombarded the city wall, the archers reorganized their team, and continued to move forward a hundred steps away from the city wall to start suppressing it. Twenty  After the wheeled arrow attack, the calamus carts were dispatched to storm the enemy's south gate wall. "Wang Shichong sat at the head of the south city, looking coldly at more than a hundred caldera carts the size of carts, covered with wet raw materials.  The cowhide top, which was more than ten feet high, was pushed by four to six sergeants, mixed in with a large number of sergeants carrying ladders, and rushed towards the city wall. Behind these cars, there were a large number of sergeants wearing leather armor.  , unlike ordinary soldiers, what they hold in their hands is not long swords, but various shovels, shovels and the like. They don't look like soldiers, but more like auxiliary soldiers.  Wei Zheng laughed and said, "My lord, it seems that the Tang army does not have enough troops. They even have auxiliary soldiers. But, can't they issue weapons to these auxiliary soldiers? How can they go into battle with these shovels?" Wang Shichong shook his head,  Said: "Xuancheng, these Tang troops attacking the city, those with ladders are all fake, only those with shovels and shovels are the real killing moves." Wei Zheng opened his eyes wide and looked carefully.  The auxiliary soldiers who came towards the city wall leisurely looked left and right and shook their heads: "No, how could they use their killing move? How can they attack the city with shovels and shovels? Is it possible that they can still do it?"  Digging tunnels and breaking down the city wall?" At this point, Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he lost his voice: "Yes, break down the wall. They can use these shovels and shovels to attack the city wall under this kind of car.  , This move is so powerful, why didn¡¯t I expect it? " Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuancheng, you are not very proficient in battle formations. This is not your strong point, I don¡¯t blame you. In fact, as long as you see Ren Noi.  As soon as the chariots were dispatched, I knew what Li Shimin was going to do. With the order, eight bows, arrows, crossbows, cannons and flying stones were fired at me, and I severely attacked their siege formation. I could knock out as many of those chariots as they could, and when they got close to the city wall  , It¡¯s going to be difficult!¡± As Wang Shichong¡¯s order was conveyed by the horn, more than 20 heavy ballistae were suddenly launched from various archery towers and sentry towers. This was the terrifying weapon of Luoyang City.  ¡ª¡ªEight bows and crossbows, cannons and flying rocks!  There was a sound of a sledgehammer hitting the mechanism, and a shrill whistle sounded in the air. Hundreds of crossbows flew out from the top of Luoyang City and flew towards the formation of the Tang army that was rushing towards the city wall like a tide.  .  Screams were heard one after another, blood flowed all over the battlefield, and corpses were everywhere. A large number of Tang army infantry gave these crossbows a string of three, four, four or five corpses, and the whole body was nailed to the spot. The corpses were even  Unable to fall, if it is an ordinary army, only this round of blows will cause morale to collapse. Only these Guanzhong soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. Although their faces are pale, Ming Jin behind them did not hear the sound of war drums.  As the sound continued to ring through the sky, they could only grit their teeth and ignore the corpses of their companions behind them. They carried the ladder and trotted faster to attack the city wall.  Li Shimin's eyes flashed coldly, and he said calmly: "Adjust the catapult for me to hit the enemy's ballista position and suppress the enemy's long-range weapons at the top of the city." Luo Shixin, carrying the giant vajra pestle, and Monk Jueyuan  Both of them stood on either side of Li Shimin, his brows furrowed tightly: "Commander, isn't it too tragic to kill people like this? Back then, Li Mi attacked Luoyang out of anger like this. In addition to heavy casualties, there were also no casualties.  The city wall has not been captured. How about we retreat first and let the catapults destroy their eight-bow crossbows?" Li Shimin shook his head and said expressionlessly: "No, as soon as we retreat, Wang Renze (Li Shimin)  I didn¡¯t know that Wang Shichong was personally directing the defense battle here) and he would also push back the eight-bow and crossbow arrows. Their city wall must be protected by a roof. Once they retreat, we won¡¯t be able to bombard them with stones.  So now we have to sacrifice some people to prevent these eight bows and crossbows from retreating, so that we can hit them, send orders, sound the drums, and let the soldiersAdvance quickly. As long as you rush to the city, these ballistas will be useless. The brave man will move forward!  " In the Tang army's formation, more than 30,000 soldiers began to roar in unison, while more than a hundred steps away, archers poured a large number of bows and arrows desperately onto the city wall. The arrow shafts at the top of the city were already inserted.  It was so densely packed that almost every crenel was shot with at least fifteen long arrows, and most of the archers at the top of the city also had a lot of arrows set up on their bodies, like arrow targets, pushing out of the fortifications to reach the parapet.  The eight crossbow arrows on the left and right were pointed upward at an angle of 45 degrees. The auxiliary soldiers and sledgehammer warriors behind kept stepping forward to insert new ax guns, and then used the hinges to pull the crossbow strings, and then the sledgehammer warriors fired it with one hammer.  , with the screams of crossbows flying all over the sky, the screams outside the city were endless, like Shura Hell, "Boom", "Wow", a flying stone weighing more than ten kilograms fell from the sky in a long arc.  , hit an eight-bow crossbow with the sound of arrows. This sturdy crossbow machine immediately fell apart under the bombardment of this stone. The bow string broke into three pieces, and several crossbows on the crossbow arm  The guns were all scattered on the ground. After the stone destroyed the ballista, it still had some force. It bounced and knocked the two sergeants standing behind to the ground, pressing on their leg bones.  Above, these two poor guys didn't have time to scream before they fainted. Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with green light: "You Li Shimin, you really don't care about the life and death of the siege troops, just hit them like this.  After passing the order, the wooden shield bearer stepped forward, propped up the top cover to protect the eight crossbow arrows, and launched the catapult in the city!  "
