Gunpowder is extremely useful for siege.
Before the invention of gunpowder, a stone thrower was often used to throw stones and grease fireballs to destroy the enemy by sieging and defending cities.
After the invention of gunpowder, a stone thrower was used to throw gunpowder bags to replace stones and grease fireballs.

Since gunpowder was used in military affairs by Li 9 Prefecture, it has had an extremely profound impact on the outcome of the war.
Although the Shi Siming rebels in Luoyang City are powerful, their combat power is not weaker than the one led by An Lushan before. In addition, the Luoyang City is strong, it will be difficult to capture if it is normal.
The rebels were probably scared by this water battle. After seeing the power of the Shuofang Army, they lost more than half of their energy when they fought in Luoyang.
This summer came a little late, but it was hotter than usual.
After the residents in Luoyang City get up in the morning, they will feel that their bodies are covered with sweat residues with extremely high concentrations. After washing up, they will feel that their bodies are extremely sticky.
It's thick, it's so uncomfortable.
The cicadas were yelling loudly on the branches, screaming at the top of their lungs as they were the last sorrow of life, rising and falling among the green trees inside and outside Luoyang City, disturbing people's sleepiness and mocking people's embarrassment.
People in the entire Luoyang City knew that the Tang Dynasty's army had already captured Luoyang City.
Unlike before, the rebels chased the Tang army and killed them. This time it was the rebels' turn to retreat into the city and dared not leave. The streets and alleys began to get restless. Everyone was looking forward to this moment for a long time. I can't wait to see the long-lost Tang army entering the city.
.
The rebel soldiers who were standing on the top of the city were vigorously motivated in the heat, raised their vigilance, and looked at all the 100 feet under their feet with suspicious eyes.
The defensive forces of the entire Luoyang were now concentrated on the top of the city.

No one dared to relax at all. He led Shi Siming to strongly intimidate everyone's unfaithful intentions.
The people in Luoyang City were not as nervous as the rebels. In such hot weather, the people of the Tang Dynasty could no longer sit still. Some people were even secretly discussing how to cooperate with the Tang army outside the city to deal with the rebels in the city.
.
Of course, private discussions are discussed, and few people dare to say this in public, but there are always people who dare to talk about something behind their backs. Overall, people's hearts are still on the side of the Tang Dynasty.
An Lushan, Shi Siming and others, was just a group of clowns who rebelled.
Suddenly, a strong wind rose from the vast streets of Kyoto and dense houses without warning, passing through and passing by! The wind came too suddenly, and the crowds on the street showed their dull eyes.
Then they saw that it was a blue sky, and suddenly it was covered with black clouds. A wave of haze was shrouded above the entire Luoyang.
"How is the battle outside the city?" Shi Siming walked out and looked at the direction of the city gate and asked.
The people next to him couldn't tell clearly, and couldn't see clearly what happened on that side. They only vaguely felt a noise and the panic of the soldiers.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the sound was rapid.
A rebel came to Shi Siming in panic and helplessly and reported the war: "I can't hold on anymore!"

Shi Siming's face was pale and murmured, "I'll go and have a look."
Standing at the head of Luoyang City, Shi Siming took a breath. Faced with powerful weapons and combat power, the Shuofang Army quickly gained the advantage. Luoyang was broken into pieces, and all these were just a few.
It's an hour's matter.
In fact, this matter is not difficult to explain. The Shuofang Army shouted loudly on the Yellow River, and its morale was high. One rush to attack Luoyang. After the battle of the Yellow River, the rebels were already stunned and even scared. They looked at the group under the city.
The Shuofang Army seemed to be out of a cage of beasts, and was even more afraid of fighting with it.
If the morale of the army is called "fear", it will be not far from failure. Even if there are solid city walls and even if there are still an advantage in number, the rebels can no longer withstand the offensive of the Shuofang Army.
Shi Siming's heart was a little cold, and he knew that he could not defend Luoyang anymore. He sighed and said, "It seems that he has to retreat quickly."
After saying this, the generals beside him were stunned. After a while, they woke up and hurried down the city and arranged for retreat.
Shi Siming said to himself and said sadly: "I didn't expect that Li 9zhou and his Shuofang army were so powerful. I really underestimated them before. With this army here, it seems that it is not that easy to capture the entire Tang Dynasty.
.”
His hands were a little cold, and deep inside his heart was even colder. Before this war, he had always been invincible. He never thought that he would be forced to defend the city here, and even lost his first since the rebellion.
1 city.
Of course, he was not the first rebels to defeat the war, and An Lushan was the first to defeat the war.
The two of them have one thing in common, both of which were defeated by Li 9zhou.

After being stunned for a long time, Shi Siming realized that he had to run away quickly. Then he panicked and disappeared into the chaos silently.
The offensive of Shuofang Army was getting more and more urgent. Before a while, dozens of soldiers took the lead in climbing the city of Luoyang and slashed at the rebels on the city. Immediately afterwards, one wave after another of the soldiers of Shuofang Army came on.
Going to the city wall.
The rebels guarding the city were wiped out 35 times. The rebels' flags at the head of Luoyang City fell down with a squeak, and the Tang Dynasty flag was erected.
The army entered the city and encountered no resistance.
Shi Siming ran away in panic because the Tang army broke the city so quickly that he didn't have time to take anything. He only brought his own personal soldiers and rushed to the east, leaving behind the rebels who had not had time to escape.
After a little resistance, they were killed by the Shuofang army, and most of them surrendered.
When the common people in Luoyang City saw the Shuofang army entering the city and saw the Tang army that they had not been missing for a long time, they were so excited that they burst into tears and all of them welcomed the Tang army.
They have been bullied by rebels and have endured the pain of losing their country for a long time.
Li 9zhou rode on a tall horse, which was so majestic and enjoyed people's praise and welcome.
The soldiers of Shuofang Army behind him were all red, not because of the weather or because of the bloody battle just now, but because of this sense of pride and honor.
It just slowed down a little, and after a moment of pride, Li 9zhou accelerated the horse's hooves. Although this scene was very exciting and motivating, he could not stay here for a long time.

We have to seize the time to pursue the fleeing rebels, and it is best to catch Shi Siming.
At this time, the rebels ran away because of panic, and most of the troops left the city shortly after. Now they can catch up with the victory, and the rebels dare not make too much resistance.
