Just a few days before Zhang Liao led 30,000 infantry and cavalry through the Yellow River waterway to bypass Hangu Pass and enter Hongnong, Xu Zhu, who besieged Luoyang, launched a fierce attack on Luoyang City again. This time, he held the concept of sharpening his knife and chopping wood. He waited patiently for many days. It took him a long time to build a catapult that was even more powerful and required 100 soldiers to operate at the same time. Those giant building vehicles had been renovated, with thick wooden boards nailed around the building vehicle, and two pairs of wheels were installed on the base of the vehicle.

Hundreds of pounds of huge rocks hit the Luoyang city wall. Whenever they hit the wall, the bricks at the outer wall were smashed into pieces, and the defenders at the top of the city felt that the entire city wall was shaking. Fortunately, there were only more than twenty such giant trenchers, otherwise the city wall would be collapsed in a short time. Twenty giant trenchers were gathered together, and only huge rocks were thrown at one wall, and the other three sides still used traditional siege combat methods.

Just like last time, the Wei army rushed over like a black sea tide, crossing the long-filled trenches, and densely packed ladders on the other three walls, one after another, almost completely covering the three walls. The Wei army began to ants to climb the city. The giant building car began to slowly move towards the three walls.

Some Wei troops began to climb to the city, and the Han army at the city immediately launched a counterattack, with the modao, javelin, spear, ring-headed sword, and crossbow quickly cleared the Wei army that had just emerged. However, many Wei troops successfully climbed the city and fought with the heavy infantry soldiers who were coming. Under the tenacious resistance of the Han army, the Wei army could not expand its advantages, and the Wei soldiers who successfully climbed to the city could not grow.

Xu Zhu did not put his hope on these ways of attacking the city with simple ladders. This is just a means to restrain the Han army's forces. The real thing to break the city is to rely on giant catapults and tower cars.

When the building car was approaching the city wall of Luoyang City, only a distance of more than 100 meters, a huge bullet suddenly flew out from the city wall. Some hit the building car and splashed the wood chips from the wooden guardrail on the car, piercing a big hole. A crossbowman who was ambushed in advance in a certain car warehouse was unfortunately hit, and in an instant, half of his body was beaten into meat paste by a stone cannon and stuck to the inner wall of the guardrail of the car warehouse.

As the distance between the building car and the city wall gets closer, more bullets hit these building car. Some of the building car's key beams and pillars are discounted, and the entire building car collapses and silences. Some of the guard plates outside the car body are lifted off in pieces. More are the holes that are hit by the bullet, and of course some of the "injuries" are not serious.

When these buildings were only more than 30 meters away from the city wall, the crossbows on the city wall began to fire bombs again. At such a close distance, many bombs drilled into holes that had been opened by bombs before, and gas was burning in the cabin.

These car guard panels were fire-proofed, but there were no fire-proof measures inside. Before they could approach the city wall, they were completely burning. The Wei army crossbowman who had been lying in the cabin in advance screamed and jumped off the car several feet high, falling to death.

However, there were still seven or eight chariots basically intact. When they approached the city wall, the crossbowmen on the chariot began to shoot at the top of the city. The Han soldiers at the top of the city also began to counterattack with their crossbows and recurved large bows.

After a while, the chariots leaned on the city wall. The Wei soldiers waiting to climb the city lined up under the city and attacked up along the stairs in the chariot. The crossbowmen on the chariot posed a great threat to the Han soldiers guarding the city, and Han soldiers kept getting caught in arrows and fell to the ground.

What's worse is that this prevented the Han soldiers from letting go of the ants climbing Wei soldiers like before, because they had to be distracted from guarding against the cold arrows shot from above. The Hu Ben Shooter at the top of the city shot arrows at the Wei army crossbowmen on the tower car, but it was not enough to suppress them. Moreover, because the Hu Ben Shooter's target was shifted, the Wei soldiers who were climbing the ladder reduced the pressure, and more and more soldiers climbed the city.

As a horn sounded, the iron guards in black-clothed black armored armored who were preparing for maneuver rushed to the top of the city. They first drew their bows and arrows, and accurately killed the crossbowmen who were rampant on the tower car with archery skills that were not inferior to those of the Tiger Bowmen. Arrows flew into the shooting windows and the platform on the top floor of the tower car like long eyes. The crossbowmen who were hiding downwards fired cold arrows came waving their way. Then the iron guards began to hold large shields and waved their swords, and quickly killed the Wei soldiers fighting against the Han soldiers on the top of the city.

With a few clangs, the suspension bridge of the tower car was lowered, and a large number of Wei soldiers rushed to the top of the city from the springboard of the city. However, they were blocked by the shield walls formed by rows of swords, shields and heavy infantrymen. The crossbows on the city wall were still shooting fire bombs at close range. A hot bomb rushed into the interior of the tower car from the door hole of the springboard of the tower car, smashed into the face of a soldier and fell to the ground and smashed it. A large fire rose in the cabin of the tower car and a shrill scream came. Because it was a close range of crossbows, the kinetic energy was not great, otherwise even the hot bomb could smash the skull.

Then more and more fireballs rushed into the tower cart. The Wei army that had just rushed up was burned into a fireman, which also blocked the Wei soldiers behind. The Wei soldiers who had used the tower cart to rush up the city tower had been killed by heavy infantry soldiers with swords and shields. They were doing tactics at close range in such a narrow place on the city. The fire became bigger and bigger, and finally the entire tower cart was burned. Some of the remaining crossbowmen on the upper floor of the tower cart had nowhere to hide and were forced to jump downstairs.

At this time, there were loud rumbling sounds coming from the west wall of Luoyang City. It turned out that the western wall was finally collapsed by Xu Zhu's giant catapult. Seeing this, Xu Zhu, who was discouraged, immediately became energetic, jumped up and stepped onto the war horse, and led his army to the gap in the city wall. Seeing that the general was leading the way, and the Luoyang City was about to break out, they all rushed to follow Xu Zhu to swarm towards the gap.

Just as Xu Zhu was about to rush into the gap, he was stopped by a hiking general from the Han army. It was Dian Wei. He led two hundred subordinates to block the gap where the city wall collapsed. Xu Zhu recognized Dian Wei and knew that he had surrendered Lu Bu long ago. So without saying a word, he took the Xuanhua Axe to fight with Dian Wei, who was holding a short axe in both hands.

They had just fought for two rounds, and the Han army leader Cheng Lian also rode his horse to join the battle group. Xu Zhu and Dian Wei could barely maintain the battle, but Cheng Lian could not bear it as soon as he joined. At this time, Xu Zhu only hoped that the subsequent army would arrive quickly and cheer him up for another four or five rounds.

Unconsciously, Dian Wei threw a flying axe, and Xu Zhu failed to avoid it. The flying axe cut his shoulders, cut open his shoulder armor, and cut off a large piece of flesh on his shoulders, which immediately made Xu Zhu bare his teeth and crack his mouth in pain.
