Vol 2 Chapter 1265: Inspect Luoyang Yan offensive and defensive

Liu Yu said calmly: "Because Wang Zhenjun knows that it is unlikely to send reinforcements elsewhere, even if Zhu Tashi knows ahead of time, it will not help. We came here this time and brought the strategy of the battle. Use flying eagles or other means to prevent the enemy from intercepting them and making mistakes. "
Zhu Xu's eyes lit up: "What's the plan, come and listen."
Liu Yu glanced around and made a stop-talking expression. Zhu Xuxin grasped and stood up: "Liu Zhuangshi, let the old man accompany you around this Luoyang, let's take a look, let's talk while walking."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Whatever you want."
Half an hour later, Luoyang North City, the upper gate of Chunchun Gate.
Liu Yu and Zhu Xu stood side by side. There were only two of them on the city wall. Recently, the guards were dozens of steps away. The people under the city were also cleared. Only the river outside the city was flowing quietly. Going far east, and finally into Luoshui, never return.
Zhu Xu's white eyebrow raised: "Liu Zhuangshi, we also came along and saw our Luoyang city defense. In your opinion, how is the city defense? Can we hold this Luoyang city?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Since the demise of the Western dynasty, Luoyang was captured by the Xiongnu army of the Han and Zhao empire, there is no longer the glory of the old days, the city wall is in disrepair, and it is broken everywhere. More than 10,000 households, these places are overgrown with weeds and desolate, IMHO, with the current situation in the city, it is almost impossible to defend the entire Luoyang City. "
Zhu Xu nodded: "Yes, I have only 5,000 troops, plus your 1,000 strong men, but no more than 6,000 men. It is impossible to defend the walls of the dozen-odd-year circumference. So , I intend to give up this outer city and retreat to Miyagi to defend. "
Liu Yu shook his head and turned back to a huge warehouse in the city and said, "But what if we retreat into Miyagi, this granary, and the arsenal over there? Without grain and grass, how do you defend the city? Without armament, how do you arm the city? Of his men defending uptown? "
Zhu Xu gritted his teeth: "I can now order them to urgently move these grains and arsenals into the inner city. Time is still too late."
Liu Yu sighed: "On the surface, it seems that it is too late, but as a result, everyone in the city is self-defeating, and the people's hearts will first collapse. Besides, Murongyong's many cavalry come and go like me. At that time, people in the city will panic and may collapse first. "
Zhu Xu's brow furrowed: "Do you mean to stay in the outer city and distribute weapons to Ding Zhuang, the people, and let them go to the city to defend?"
Liu Yu's eyes were bright: "Yes, a Miyagi is too small, and more than 20,000 households, plus the granaries and armaments in the arsenal, it is impossible to withdraw all. Massacre, slaughter, many of them fled from Guanzhong, and they hated and feared Xiyan. If the coach would abandon them, they would lose their hearts. If the hearts were broken, then the wall would be strong. It ’s also undefensible. "
Zhu Xu shook his head: "But you also saw that the city wall of Luoyang is too long to defend with the strength of the city. Even if I mobilize another 5,000 civilians, I can't do everything. If the enemy forces concentrate a little bit and force the city to attack, I am afraid it is Undefensible. "
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The strength of the Xiyan Army is that it has a lot of cavalry and strong maneuverability. They will come soon, but the weakness is also here. Because it is fast, it is also a cavalry, which is conducive to field operations and is not conducive to defending the city. It is not easy to attack the city. As long as the civilians go to the city, there are many suspects and grassmen, many flags, and elite soldiers are concentrated in the city. If the enemy forces attack somewhere, they will support them at any time. It is not difficult to keep them. "
Zhu Xu waved his hand: "You can only prevent the cavalry from attacking the city. If their group of infantry arrives, if they have siege equipment, they will attack with all strength, what can you do?"
Liu Yu smiled and pointed to the northwest of the city, about three miles away from the city wall. A sturdy fortress stood quietly on a high post outside the city: "This is the famous Jin Yongcheng, handsome."
Zhu Xu nodded: "Yes, it's Jin Yongcheng. At the time of the Western Dynasties, the fortress built by Empress Jia specifically to imprison the crown prince Sima Yao was finally imprisoned in her own. It can be described as a cocoon. The city is small. But there are all kinds of military installations in it, and there are more than ten crossbow planes that can be defended on the city wall. The radius is not more than a square. It is small and sturdy. I sent three hundred soldiers to be defended there by Yang Guang. , The enemy should not dare to let go of attacking Luoyang City. "
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Three hundred troops, can only defend, can't contain it, commander-in-law, please let my thousand brothers go in and become a horn with Luoyang City."
Zhu Xu's eyes widened: "Are you going to take your people to Jin Yongcheng? No, this is too dangerous. The enemy will inevitably attack Jin Yongcheng first. You are a guest army, and I cannot let you go to such a dangerous front line, otherwise, In case of an accident, I cannot explain to Wang Zhenjun. "
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Marshal, we are the Beifu Army. We came here to fight. We were not protected by others. We were hiding behind. In Fei Shui, you have seen our power and faced Qin. One million soldiers, and our five thousand elite soldiers are also advancing? Not to mention this thousand brothers, the veterans who participated in the war and the recent cutting-edge ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The combat strength is better than that of the Shuishui Heavenly Soldiers. Why can't you defend the city defense? "
Speaking of which, Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "And the way of defending the city lies in the offensive and defensive benefits. From time to time, you need to attack with elite soldiers. You can't just be passively beaten. My thousand brothers, holding Jin Yongcheng, is the thief. Wan, I also want to break the city, but if the thieves only keep thousands of people to watch, but they will attack the Luoyang with soldiers, that ’s what I worry about. Although there are tens of thousands of civilians in the Luoyang city, they need to be defended everywhere. Not accustomed to battle fronts, when confronted with a decisive attack by the enemy, I am afraid that it is difficult to resist. If at this time our army can kill from the rear, break through the obstacles, and attack the side of the siege army, not only can we solve the surroundings of Luoyang, but also have a way Can completely defeat Murongyong's main force in one fell swoop! "
Zhu Xu's eyes lit up: "You mean, you want to defeat Murongyong's main force? Is it your strength?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and nodded confidently: "The soldiers are not expensive and expensive, as long as there are fighters, I think it can be done, but before defending the city, my brothers will go out and turn around, please ask General Zhu to turn The best equipment is left to us first, and I need my team to play the most powerful. "
Zhu Xu haha ​​smiled: "Okay, I will give you the equipment of my guard's Chinese army for you to use. It is also a stainless steel mail armor, a sturdy iron sword, and a forged sword. Luoyang's guard, please come to my brother!"
