Chapter 434: Sweeping Luoyang

Shi Siming and Shi Chao's adopted father and son all had their faces green and their hearts were filled with despair.

Under such circumstances, Shi Siming did not have the courage to continue fighting with Li Fei. He retreated back to Luoyang City with only a hundred thousand troops left in panic, as if he was hoping to rely on the high and thick walls of Luoyang City to block Li Fei.

If you say that Luoyang City passed through An Lushan, An Qingxu and his son were crazy about firing cement construction, it was twice as taller than before. It would be no exaggeration to say that it is the most magnificent city wall in the world today.

When Guo Ziyi recaptured the two capitals, Li Fei brought an Anton Army to the war. The reason why he failed to defend Luoyang at that time was mainly because Li Fei used explosives to blow up the city gates for the first time was exposed to the eyes of the anti-army. The anti-army was too scared and could not come up with a way to counterattack in a short period of time. So that time, the Luoyang City was easily blasted open the city gates and attacked in by Li Fei.

This time, Shi Siming and Shi Chao adopted a father and son were at a dead end. Nearly two years have passed since the last defeat in Luoyang. They came up with a lot of ways to prevent Li Fei from directly exploding the city gate. At least they would not easily be blown up by Li Fei as easily as last time, and Anton soldiers rushed into Luoyang through the city gate.

Unfortunately, Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi were wrong. The methods they thought had no effect on the Anton Army's cannons.

Li Fei left nearly 20,000 Anton Army north of the Yellow River, and only 150,000 Anton Army crossed the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, Li Fei quickly captured Lingchang, Chenliu, and Xingyang. The vanguard pointed directly at Hulao Pass. After breaking through Hulao Pass, he could kill him to the bottom of Luoyang City.

In order to defend this gateway to Luoyang, Shi Siming left 30,000 anti-army troops and a confidant.

Of course, it is said that he is a confidant, but he may not be able to sacrifice his life for Shi Siming. At that time, Shi Siming was also An Lushan's confidant, but later he still killed An Qingxu without blinking.

The confidant who stayed in Hulao Pass only felt that Shi Siming left him in Hulao Pass to resist Beiping King Li Fei and An Dongjun, and simply wanted him to die. Beiping King Li Fei and An Dongjun were so powerful that Shi Siming had already lost his power, so he should consider it for himself.

When Li Fei was in Hulao Pass, the confidant who stayed in Hulao Pass directly opened the gate of Hulao Pass and surrendered to Li Fei with 30,000 defenders in the pass.

Hulao Pass saw the wind descending, and the news reached Luoyang. Shi Siming was frightened and cursed angrily.

As Li Fei and his troops arrived at the city of Luoyang, Shi Siming sent someone to try to seek peace with Li Fei, or simply surrender to Li Fei, as long as Li Fei leaves him a glimmer of hope.

Li Fei ignored Shi Siming's request for peace, and Shi Siming had no capital to seek peace with him.

Li Fei's refusal to ask for peace made Shi Siming extremely crazy, which shows that Li Fei refused to give him a way out, so he could only stand the severity with Li Fei to the end.

Shi Siming frantically strengthened the defense of Luoyang City, hoping that the solid Luoyang City could block Li Fei's attack.

When Li Fei had six artillery battalions and 210 artillery cannons were set up and aimed at the city walls of Luoyang, the hearts of Shi Siming and Shi Chao's adopted father and son were raised.

"fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" All the cannons hit a section of the city wall.

The bombardment of cannons is actually not much more powerful than directly using explosives to directly blow up after being suppressed by the divine arm crossbow. However, cannon bombardment can also continuously attack the morale of the anti-army soldiers defending the city from another aspect.

The shells hit the walls of the city walls, and a huge sound, and the broken bricks and stones splashed out, leaving a pit.

Two hundred and ten cannons hit and bombarded. No matter how high or thick the city walls in Luoyang were, they could not be blocked. There were always times when they were bombed.

With each round of artillery attacks, the anti-army soldiers in the city looked pale and the fear in their eyes became more.

Finally, more than an hour later, the Luoyang city wall that was hit and bombarded collapsed.

"Attack of the Modao Formation!" Li Fei did not order the cavalry to rush into the city immediately, but instead let a Modao Formation advance into the city in a formation form. The Modao Formation God blocked the Killing God, and the momentum of the Buddha blocked the Killing Buddha was the best way to destroy the morale of the anti-army defenders in the city.

Sure enough, when the Modao Army advanced from the huge collapsed gap into the city, the anti-army defenders in the city were about to collapse.

Originally, the morale of the anti-army defenders in the city was very low. When the Anton Army's cannons bombarded the Luoyang city wall, it completely destroyed the morale of the anti-army defenders. Therefore, when the Anton Army's Modao Formation entered the city, these anti-army defenders were about to collapse.

Shi Siming was like a gambler who had lost his eyes, his eyes were red and he wanted to roar.

However, Shi Siming was not crazy after all, and he still had a chance to survive, so he would not choose to die.

When the Luoyang city wall was knocked down, Shi Siming and his eldest son Shi Chaoyi without hesitation and abandoned the city and fled without hesitation.

Luoyang City is very big. Although Li Fei had nearly 150,000 troops to the Luoyang City, he could not be surrounded. In fact, Li Fei only besieged the East Gate and attacked from the East Gate. The other three gates only sent some iron cavalry to cruise. Or Li Fei didn't care whether the anti-army such as Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi in the city would abandon the city and flee.

It would be better for Shi Siming and his eldest son Shi Chaoyi to abandon the city and flee. Li Fei's many cavalrymen were just in time to chase and kill. It would be much smaller than the complete encirclement of Shi Siming and his son in the city and let them lead the anti-army to fight to trap beasts.

As soon as Shi Siming and his son fled out of Luoyang City with some anti-army from Ximen, they were intercepted by an Andong cavalry of thousands of people. Shi Siming and his son fled desperately, and more than 10,000 anti-army were intercepted and killed.

Shi Siming and his son fled all the way, and Andong cavalry surrounded him, and the number of anti-army soldiers around Shi Siming and his son was getting smaller and smaller.

When Shi Siming and his son fled to Luoyang more than two hundred miles away, there were only more than two thousand anti-army left by Shi Siming and his son, which was really miserable.

Shi Siming and his son did not dare to stay, so they fled all the way to Nanyang, and finally fled from Nanyang to Jianghuai.

After Li Fei captured Luoyang, the 150,000 troops were divided into four groups, fighting to Yanzhou, Henan Road, Lingbao, Shaanxi Province, Yingchuan, Nanyang, and rushed straight to Jianghuai, preparing to use Luoyang as a dot, attack from all sides, and completely clear out the anti-army.

Wherever Li Fei and Andong's army passed, all the anti-army troops in various prefectures and counties surrendered in a hurry.

On September 25, 30,000 Andong troops heading to Shanzhou were commanded by Wu Sheng and arrived at the city of Shanzhou.

Unexpectedly, Shanzhou City had been recovered by the Tang army's troops leaving Tongguan, and all the anti-army troops in Shanzhou had surrendered to Lu Jing.

In other aspects, the route to Yanzhou was led by Li Guangbi, and soon captured Yanzhou and swept across other anti-army troops in Henan Road to meet with the Tang army in Qingzhou.

Heading towards Yingchuan, led by Lu Xin in the direction of Nanyang, he soon captured Yingchuan and headed straight to Nanyang.

The Nanyang anti-army could not bear the pressure. When Lu Xin arrived at the city, he directly opened the city gate and surrendered to Lu Xin.

However, the distance between Jianghuai and Huai River is relatively long, and with Shi Siming and his son, they resist more and are not recovered so quickly.
