Chapter 293 Attack the City
When he left Wei County, Feng Congwen had only more than 5,000 people under his command, but when he arrived outside Luoyang City, he actually had tens of thousands of people under his command.
The people added along the way are not stragglers, but private soldiers who are well-trained and brave at first sight.
Luoyang is a key area where wealthy families are entrenched. Compared with Chang'an, the political center, which is more tightly controlled by the court, Luoyang, an economic powerhouse, has much looser supervision.
Because if you want this economic center to operate smoothly, you cannot do without those businessmen, and behind these businessmen, without exception, stand wealthy families.
This is the reason why Kou Zhong had to leave Chang'an and come to Luoyang in person to take charge.
It’s just that now the building is about to collapse. People who used to tremble when they heard Kou Zhong’s name now have the courage to follow others and wave their claws at Kou Zhong.
If you want to eat meat and drink soup, you must show something. Otherwise, when the profits are divided afterwards, those who did not join in will naturally have to stand aside and watch.
If I don’t liquidate you, it will be a favor to you. Do you still want to get benefits?
So when things have reached this point, everyone must make a choice.
Should we stand on the side of the imperial court, or should we stand on the opposite side of the imperial court?
When He Zudao was killing people in Hedong and Hexi, no one made a choice.
When He Zudao was fighting everywhere and wreaking havoc, no one made a choice.
But when He Zudao marched towards Luoyang, and when Yang Jian of the legendary Hongnong Yang family appeared in He Zudao's army,
these people finally made a choice.
They completely abandoned the court and went to the other side.
The so-called wall that everyone pushes down is nothing more than that.
Feng Congwen's offense is simple yet domineering.
Without flanking, without detours, without demonstrations, without any unnecessary actions, he led his troops directly outside Yingtian Gate.
The Yingtian Gate, also known as the Wufeng Tower, located directly in the south, can be called the first gate in Luoyang. Its status and importance are evident from this.
The huge building complex, which consists of the gate tower, the multi-purpose tower, and the east and west towers, is more than 100 meters long and more than 30 meters high. It is not wrong to say that it is impregnable.
After Kou Zhong arrived in Luoyang, Luoyang began to formally prepare for war. Other places were desperately strengthening the city walls and reorganizing their armaments. But here, there was no need to prepare anything, because it was the strongest and most powerful. location.
No one expected that the breakthrough point Feng Congwen chose to attack Luoyang would be Yingtianmen.
Even Li Dachui in the army had to give Feng Congwen a thumbs up.
Sometimes the strongest place may be the easiest place to break through.
Kou Zhong will never tolerate any mistakes in Yingtianmen, because any failure of Yingtianmen will be infinitely magnified. In such a situation, if one person affects the whole body, it will eventually lead to the collapse of dominoes.
Although his family had innate masters before, they were used as strategic weapons for deterrence. Li Dachui had never seen an innate master appear on the battlefield.
In the imperial city of the Yuan Kingdom, Duanmu Miaomiao made a move, and heard Zhou Yi talk about it afterwards. But even though Zhou Yi had a lotus-like tongue and spoke vividly, after all, he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, so it was difficult to see it. That personal experience.
So today Li Dachui opened his eyes wide and wanted to see how much role the innate master could play in the war.
The army is not afraid of a simple innate master.
When the manpower is finally exhausted, under the successive attacks of the army, the innate masters can do nothing.
But after the innate master cooperates with the army and becomes a blade, how much power can he exert?
Think about the past outside the Pass, Xiao Changche was just a ninth-grade Xuanyuan, and the cavalry with her as the edge was almost invincible and invincible.
Feng Congwen wanted to conquer the Wufeng Tower in a single battle, giving a huge shock to the enemies inside the city, and also giving huge support to those outside the city.
Of course, he also has his own selfish motives.
That is to let Yang Jian and Kou Zhong fight.
With Feng Congwen's current strength only being at the seventh level of Xuanyuan, he is afraid that he will not be able to take revenge until Mr. Kou Zhong dies.
In today's battle, if Kou Zhong did not go out to fight against Yang Jian, then he could easily win Luoyang City.
Based on emotion and reason, Kou Zhong would not let such a thing happen.
"Mr. Yang, please!" Under the banner of the Chinese army, Feng Congwen paid homage.
Yang Jian waved his hand and said, "Today we are going to have a fight with Kou Zhong. Just do your thing and Kou Zhong will leave it to me!"
After saying this, he was still dressed as a Confucian scholar. Yang Jian walked slowly towards Luoyang City not far away, with his hands behind his back, towards the majestic Five Phoenix Tower.
Feng Congwen turned around with a smile and looked at the hundreds of martial arts masters behind him.
This naturally includes Li Dachui and Fang Xiaomao.
These were all gathered by Feng Congwen during the march.
"Everyone, with Mr. Yang as the vanguard, everyone's pressure is almost gone. It's all up to you to attack the Wufeng Tower and open an avenue for the army to attack!" "I will definitely live up to the general's trust!" A bunch of martial arts guys were shouting in all directions.
People who didn’t have much courage at first became extremely courageous with the support of innate masters.
"Let's go!" A local expert at the top of the eighth rank waved the spear in his hand and followed Yang Jian passionately towards Luoyang City.
Behind them, Feng Congwen waved his order flag, and the soldiers pushed siege engines and carried ladders to follow closely.
Yang Jian resisted Kou Zhong,
martial arts masters opened the gap,
ordinary soldiers rushed forward.
Simple, violent, direct and effective!
If the city does not have enough strength to deal with this violent aesthetic, then the city will be destroyed in an instant.
Kou Zhong stepped onto the Five Phoenix Tower and looked down at Yang Jian below.
We are all top masters from wealthy families, but compared to the Hongnong Yang family that has survived for thousands of years, the Pengcheng Kou family has only jumped to the top wealthy family in the past few decades.
The big gamble thirty years ago made the Pengcheng Kou family rise to the top. If the Kou family wins again this time, then the Kou family may become a top family like the Hongnong Yang family. Emperor, more than a hundred years are enough for them to operate.
Of course, the rise of the new top wealthy families will definitely erode the interests of the old top wealthy families. Therefore, in the view of the Yang family, the Kou family has been fattened enough and they should destroy them and take away these things from them. The wealth accumulated over the years.
You are not qualified to be a family like ours.
Seeing Kou Zhong upstairs, Yang Jian smiled softly and tapped his feet lightly on the ground. The ground suddenly started to tremble. The entire Yingtianmen seemed to be shaking. He soared into the sky and went straight up to Jiuxiao. The next moment, his head and feet were all trembling. , coming by the wind.
Kou Zhong laughed contemptuously, stretched out a finger, and poked it upward.
“Holy shit!” Li Dachui, who had already run under the city wall, looked at this scene and cursed lightly.
Everyone on the battlefield looked at this scene in stunned silence.
Yang Jian was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, striking down with a majestic palm.
Kou Zhong seemed to be the mainstay, holding the opponent in the air with just a finger.
Li Dachui calmly pulled Fang Xiaomao and moved him a distance of more than ten feet.
At this time, hundreds of martial arts masters were spreading out and running towards the city wall. The weapons on the city wall that could pose a threat to them were weapons such as crossbows. Everyone dispersed and used their respective martial arts skills to With cultivation, these crossbows lose their power. As for ordinary feather arrows, they are just scratching the surface.
So when Li Dachui and Fang Xiaomao moved laterally, no one was moving.
It was as loud as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder.
The next moment, the violent infuriating energy spread out with Kou Zhong and Yang Jian as the center. On the upper floor of Wufeng Tower, the huge stone animal head was shattered into powder. The wooden tower collapsed, bricks and gravel flew, and the walls were shattered. The soldiers on top flew into the air like kites, and below the city, the martial arts masters who had just ran here and happened to be within the range of the infuriating energy leakage had almost no room for resistance. Those on the side were directly attacked. The unlucky ones in the center tried their best to resist, but they only ended up bleeding from their orifices and dying with their internal organs shattered.
Fang Mao Mao saw that the guy who had been impassioned and dedicated himself in front of Feng Congwen before, now he was really begging for mercy.
This dear friend is very unlucky. It is at the center point where the true energy of the two innate masters leaks out. When the two innate masters are pinched from both sides, this man is directly broken into Momo.
If the young master hadn’t pulled me up, even though I was not in the center just now, looking at the power, if I were to be hit, I would have to break my muscles and bones even if I didn’t hang on the spot.
“Go to the side and hit him!” Li Dachui pushed him and whispered: “I’ll go take a look at these two!”
The true energy overflowed and the roof collapsed. The two of them stood in a stalemate in the air for a moment, and then slowly sank downwards, straight into the tower.
While the smoke and dust were everywhere and it was impossible to see the situation clearly outside, Li Dachui flew up to the city wall like a ghost.
A defender who had just climbed up from the broken bricks and tiles saw Li Dachui in a daze and slashed at Li Dachui without thinking.
This guy has good martial arts skills and very fast reactions, but his luck is really bad.
If he encounters not Li Dachui but any other enemy, he can fight back and forth for several rounds.
But what he met was the innate master Li Dachui,
so when he swung the knife, the knife broke and the person flew away.
The soldiers who were attacking the city were shocked to see a guy flying over their heads with a snap as if it had grown wings. Even a peregrine falcon would have to beat him at such a speed.
But judging from the way that guy was stabbing his hands and feet and screaming incessantly, I was afraid he might not survive.
Li Dachui silently descended along the damaged roof to the inside.
Invisible and qualityless energy flowed back and forth in the room. Two people who were rivals in chess were intertwined in life and death. No one dared to have the slightest reservation. If anyone else stepped into this space at this time, they would probably be cut into pieces, but Li Dachui walked among them. , but acted as if nothing had happened.
Concentrating his breath and quietly hiding aside, Li Dachui admired this fight between dragons and tigers.
