Chapter 426 Difficult Choice(1/3)
June 6, the fourteenth year of the rise of the Han Dynasty (AD 253).
Luoyang City, east, north and west gates.
Outside each city gate, 70,000 to 80,000 Han troops were already in formation, with countless flags fluttering in the wind. At the front of the troops, 20 Hanwang cannons were neatly placed.
The Hanwang Cannon is less than 600 steps away from the Luoyang City Gate.
Next to each Hanwang cannon,
There were several artillerymen standing, and beside them, several boxes of special artillery shells were neatly stacked.
They were just waiting for an order, and they would shoot all these cannonballs at Luoyang City, the capital of Cao Wei, not far away.
In addition to the three northeastern and west gates, at the south gate of Luoyang City, the Han army assembled more than 100,000 horse infantry, and there were more than 50 Hanwang cannons with more than 3,000 shells.
Behind the artillery is the central army of the Han army.
In the middle, on a special carriage, sat an old man with silver hair. He waved his feather fan very leisurely. This man was Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang is in a very happy mood today, and he is also a little excited.
I saw him looking slightly towards the sky, muttering silently in his heart... Late Emperor, your unfulfilled wish in life, we will complete it for you today.
...
Liang still remembers that it was the summer of the twelfth year of Jian'an (AD 207). You and the two generals Guan and Zhang visited Chen's thatched cottage, and then Liang followed the late emperor to conquer the north and south.
Abandon Xinye, go to Xiakou, and unite with Soochow to launch the Battle of Chibi.
Entering Yizhou and fighting in Hanzhong, we finally achieved a three-legged confrontation.
Then Yiling was defeated, and Yongan was left alone.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little sad. These past few decades have been really difficult.
Fortunately, the emperor is wise,
Only a strong man can continue to rise.
Today——
June 6, the fourteenth year of the rise of the Han Dynasty (AD 253).
The Han Dynasty gathered nearly 400,000 troops,
Chen Bing Cao was at the foot of Luoyang City, the capital of Wei State.
There are also more than a hundred advanced Hanwang cannons.
Reviving the Han Dynasty,
The world is unified today.
On the right side of Zhuge Liang, there is a young and majestic general. He is the eldest son of the Han Emperor, King Qin Liu Tan.
When Liu Tan was fifteen or sixteen years old, he followed his father to conquer the Western Regions, and then went south to conquer Soochow. In more than ten years, Liu Tan participated in more than a hundred battles.
Today is the most exciting day for him.
Destroy Wei——
Destroy Wei!
Liu Tan dreamed of leading an army with his father to rush to Luoyang.
Today, his dream came true.
Between Liu Tan and Zhuge Liang, there was a middle-aged man riding a sweaty horse and wearing a golden battle armor. He looked towards the Luoyang City ahead.
‘Three Kingdoms, Three Kingdoms, Three Kingdoms will eventually return to Han!’
Suddenly——
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Father,"
Give the order!"
Zhuge Liang heard the sound and promised: "Old minister, take the order!"
That's right,
This middle-aged man is officially the Emperor of the Han Dynasty - Liu Chan.
Then Zhuge Liang looked at Fei Yi on the other side. Fei Yi was very smart. He knew what the prime minister meant. Zhuge Liang had already explained it to him before going into battle today.
Fei Yi waved his riding whip lightly and immediately rushed out of the battle formation, heading straight for the gate of Luoyang City.
Luoyang City Head.
"Prime Minister!"
A middle-aged general said weakly: "Do you want to attack?"
They saw a horse in the Han army formation, rushing towards the city gate.
"Don't act rashly!" Chen Tai said: "The Han army has not launched an attack. This person must be here to negotiate terms. You must first listen to what he has to say."
"No!"
The middle-aged general responded.
At this time, the South Gate of Luoyang was already well prepared, with three-bow crossbows, thunder cannons, and rocket launchers ready, waiting to fire outside the city at any time.
The city walls are stamped, and the archers' bows and arrows are already full.
Fei Yi walked closer and closer, so close that he could clearly see the sharp arrows, but he didn't feel timid at all.
One hundred steps.
Eighty steps.
Fifty steps.
Thirty steps.
...
Not long after, Fei Yi rode his horse to the moat.
Luoyang is the capital of Cao Wei. Compared with other cities, Luoyang's moat is much wider, about fifty steps or so.
Fei Yi stopped by the moat, then looked up towards the city head.
"Wei Jun in the city, listen!"
"I am Fei Yi, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty." Fei Yi shouted loudly: "In accordance with the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I am here to inform you."
Wait——
As soon as Fei Yi said these words, Chen Tai and all the Wei army generals on the city were stunned.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?
Has the Han Dynasty changed its emperor?
Fei Yi ignored them and continued to shout: "Go and notify Cao Fang quickly, and he will surrender within one stick of incense." After saying that, Fei Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly raised a hand, and continued
He shouted: "If you dare to resist stubbornly, this will be your fate."
Boom!
As soon as Fei Yi finished speaking, the tall archery tower behind Chen Tai immediately made a violent explosion.
A Hanwang cannon accurately hit the roof of the archery tower, blowing a big hole in the roof.
Chen Tai and others had heard of Hanwang Cannon.
However, this violent explosion still frightened all the Wei army generals, and they instinctively hid under the wall.
Just——
After this explosion, the Han army did not attack again, but Fei Yi's voice sounded again. He said: "This is just an appetizer. After one stick of incense, if Cao Fang has not opened the city to surrender, our army will bombard him."
Luoyang City."
Damn... everyone was shocked.
The last time I issued an ultimatum, I was given three days.
It's better this time, I only give you time to burn incense.
Chen Tai only felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Prime Minister!"
"What to do now?"
The surrounding generals asked collectively.
It seems that the Han army is going to take action today. Hanwang cannons are prepared outside the four city gates. If the Han army bombards Luoyang from four directions at the same time.
The consequences are very serious.
"You guys hold on to the city!" Chen Tai said: "Before the Han army launches an attack, you must not take the initiative to attack the Han army."
To be continued...
