Chapter 541: Attacking Luoyang(2/3)
Even though the defense force in Luoyang City has been weakened to the extreme.
But at this time, the powerful families in the city did not dare to hide their secrets at all.
Now it's time for the retainers they usually support to come into play.
With the addition of these disciples who are generally stronger than ordinary soldiers.
The strength of the Luoyang City defenders greatly increased.
Even in the face of the fierce attack under the command of Xu Shu, there was no flaw.
On the contrary, Xu Shu suffered considerable losses.
Xu Shu felt unwilling.
But he himself knows it very well.
The Yellow Turbans under him are actually just a ragtag group of people until now.
If their previous thoughts were only to have a full meal.
So now, they have slightly more thoughts in their hearts than before.
It's similar to blindly following Qin Yu who has tyrannical strength.
And he wanted to vent all the suffering he had suffered in his chest on the powerful people in Luoyang City.
These are the reasons that support their bravery and fear of death.
But this reason is definitely not the reason why they can persist for a long time.
Once the casualties are too large.
It hurt the momentum of these guys.
Their shortcomings will show up before they are trained as elites.
By that time, even if they are not defeated by this small number of defenders.
It is impossible for them to have such a huge advantage in morale when facing these defenders.
Xu Shu knew it very well.
It's not yet time for the real decisive battle.
If the morale of these people is exhausted before the decisive battle comes.
I'm afraid this result is something Qin Yu absolutely doesn't want to see and absolutely cannot accept.
So, after several days of intense siege, Xu Shu.
Seeing that he could no longer gain any advantage, he directly lowered the intensity of the siege.
Such an obvious change also made everyone in Luoyang City breathe a sigh of relief.
And judging from the statistics after the past few days.
Obviously, the defenders in Luoyang City had a very exaggerated exchange ratio when facing the Yellow Turban Army.
If you continue to fight like this.
I'm afraid it won't take long.
They were able to completely consume the Yellow Turban Army outside the city.
This result plunged the court into endless quarrels.
Someone suggested that troops should be mobilized as soon as possible to wipe out all these Yellow Turbans.
Some people also suggested that they want to withdraw the previous order to mobilize troops from the border counties and only have them stationed near Luoyang City to deter the Yellow Turban Army led by Qin Yu.
Some people simply suggested that they should go out and fight the Yellow Turban Army led by Qin Yu.
That's according to their words.
The reason why Sishui Pass was breached was entirely because the defenders in Sishui Pass were not strong enough.
Coupled with the fact that the number of people is a disadvantage, things like before happened.
As for Qin Yu's strength.
That would be even more nonsense.
Where in the world is there anyone who can ignore the protection of clouds and directly break through the closed door of Sishui Pass by himself?
If you really have this kind of strength.
Then why didn't Qin Yu choose to continue to use his strength to forcefully break through the gate of Luoyang City?
As long as Qin Yu breaks down the city gate from the beginning.
Those 200,000 Yellow Turban troops, even if they charge hard, can turn Luoyang City into ruins!
Qin Yu didn't make such a move, why?
Could it be that he didn't use such a method because it would be too unchallenging?
Or is he doing this for the sake of his dignity as a big man?
No way, Qin Yu, a yellow turban thief, is actually a guy with an accent?
This possibility is strange no matter how you look at it.
That rules out these possibilities.
There is only one possibility left -
Maybe Qin Yu doesn't have this kind of strength at all.
The reason why he was able to do such unexpected things when he was at Sishui Pass.
It is possible that the defenders at Sishui Pass themselves had people bribed by them.
When the inside and outside were combined, it looked like the door had been broken by him.
Another possibility is that these guys at Sishui Gate lied about military information.
In order to shirk responsibility and conceal military information, they deliberately exaggerated Qin Yu's strength.
As a result, it will naturally lead to the current situation.
No matter what the situation is.
Now that it has been proven that Qin Yu's strength is not as tyrannical as they imagined, it will be easy to handle.
As for the other side, Yin Que.
Jian Shuo really wanted to leave.
When Luoyang was in a hurry, his mind was no longer on stopping Zhang Mancheng and others in front of him.
The 70,000 troops stationed at Yinque could only block Zhang Mancheng's group.
But if he could bring these people back to Luoyang City.
With the strength of Luoyang City, the 70,000-strong army could resist for a long time.
There will be no problem if I resist for at least half a year.
Half a year later, the troops of King Qin had already arrived.
With the cooperation of those elites, how difficult is it to defeat all these Yellow Turbans?
But here's the thing.
He wants to leave now, but Zhang Mancheng doesn't want him to go.
As long as he shows the slightest sign of retreating.
What they faced was Zhang Mancheng’s aggressive attack regardless of the cost.
Once or twice forget it.
It happened like this every time, which directly made Jian Shuo angry.
However, after people like Zhang Mancheng knew Jian Shuo's strength, they didn't give him a chance to fight as a general.
Before every war, these guys all pretend to be grandsons.
No matter how much Jian Shuo scolded them, it would not affect them at all.
What stands out is that he is shameless.
Then a wave of armies pressed forward, and the two sides killed each other once. Then they each paid money to withdraw their troops, leaving a similar number of corpses on the ground.
Jian Shuo is just worried now.
If he really turned around and ran towards Luoyang desperately.
Before Zhang Mancheng was solved.
In other words, there are too few people left behind to withstand Zhang Mancheng's attack.
When the time comes, Zhang Mancheng will follow him.
