Chapter 1182

When an unrivaled powerhouse appears in one place, a powerhouse capable of unifying the universe, what he attracts is not to be conquered by the whole world, but a group of heroes to join forces and fight together.

Just like the Qin State back then, it fought against the Six Kingdoms alone.

As Great Xia aspired to the supremacy in the Huaxia region, conquered cities and plundered lands overseas, the scenery was unlimited, and the momentum of dominating China was unstoppable, and finally attracted the same fate as Qin.

As early as May, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing, and Zhou, a total of six countries, under the bridge of the Great Zhou, had a faint tendency to unite in order to jointly fight against the rise of the Great Xia.

As the Great Xia draws its salary from the bottom of the Han pot, it will attack the Great Han as soon as the national war is over, completely exposing the Great Xia's ambition to unify China, and finally let the Six Nations take action.

Gaia's cancellation of the summoning of the Forbidden Army gave the dynasties a reassurance.

A loose "Anti-Summer Alliance" was established.

In order to facilitate the alliance of the six nations, Dichen took great pains, and even paid a sky-high price.

Among the six kingdoms, Daqing and Daxia already had rifts with each other, and Dichen won them over without any hassle. The Song and Ming dynasties located in the Great Zhou were the focus of Dichen's courtship.

In order to take over the two countries, Di Chen did not hesitate to promise to cede the Jingchu province where Xiangyang is located to Da Song as a whole, and to cede the Donghai province where Jianye is located to Daming as a whole.

The condition is that the two dynasties must undertake the important task of defending the surrounding area, so that the Great Zhou can free up his hands and take the opportunity to attack the Great Jin when the Great Xia attacks the Great Han.

It was even said that Dichen was planning to make persistent efforts to take down the Dahan after winning the Dajin. Of course, Di Chen would not reveal the slightest bit of this latter thought to his allies before he won the Great Jin.

It's funny to say, Han was originally a member of the Six Nations Alliance, and now his strength was damaged, he was immediately abandoned by Di Chen, and instead became the target of Da Zhou's fish.

I really complied with that sentence, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."

If Di Chen's calculations can be realized, then Da Zhou gave up two provinces, gained two more provinces, and won two allies, the deal is definitely not a loss.

As for the northern Xinjiang province, Di Chen very "generously" promised it to the Qing Dynasty.

The joining of Daqin and Datang was more out of scruples. They had no specific deal with Dazhou, they just agreed not to get involved when Dazhou and Dajin were at war.

The goodness of Qin and Jin disappeared in an instant.

In the face of national interests, the covenant is just a piece of waste paper and does not play any binding role.

Obviously, neither Qin Shihuang nor Tang Taizong wanted the Great Xia to continue to expand in the Huaxia region, squeeze their living space, and raise tigers for trouble in the future.

Fortunately, Qin and Tang still remember Daxia's kindness at the beginning, and only promised not to send troops to reinforce Dajin, but they would never confront Daxia head-on.

As for how to circumvent the restriction that the dynasties were not allowed to take the initiative to use troops against Great Xia, Dichen had his own way.

…………

On July 7th, Han Xin led his troops to the city of Luoyang after taking down two passes in the north of Luoyang one after another. In just one week, he broke through two levels in a row, which shows that Han Xin is the god of soldiers.

The relationship between Han Xin and the big man has disappeared as early as in history.

As a first-class male city in the world, Luoyang's city defenses are solid, and there is no doubt about it. This battle is also the first time that the lord of the Huaxia District has attacked the royal city in a serious manner.

If he wins this battle, Han Xin will be famous all over the world; if he loses, his reputation will be ruined.

In view of this, Han Xin did not dare to neglect at all. He seemed to march all the way in a hurry, but in fact he left strongholds along the way to ensure the safety of the grain road. When the army arrived outside the city, they also built camps step by step.

Before the camp was repaired, Han Xin had no plans to attack the city.

The big man's response was also very rational. As early as when the imperial army was transferred away, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was aware of the crisis, and immediately ordered the general Wei Qing to transfer all the imperial army scattered in the dynasty back to Luoyang.

With a mere 200,000 imperial troops, it is impossible to defend the Nuoda territory of the Central Plains province. Rather than being defeated by the enemy one by one, it is better to join forces and fight to the death, and maybe there will be a turnaround.

On the contrary, as a powerful city in the world, Luoyang not only has a solid city defense, but also has sufficient food and grass. There is no problem at all if you stick to it for more than a month.

Near the end of the national war, seeing that the Great Xia was mobilizing its troops, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even ordered the people of Luoyang to disperse by themselves and seek refuge in surrounding counties to avoid consuming Luoyang's food and grass.

With the nature of the Great Xia Army, it is safer for the common people to go out of the city.

In this way, if the Great Xia cannot capture Luoyang immediately, in terms of food and grass reserves, Luoyang City will be fine if it persists for two or three months. For such a long time, anything can happen.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still underestimated Daxia.

In the following week, the battlefield in Luoyang was calm, and the Great Xia Army had no intention of attacking the city at all. While building camps step by step, they went to the surrounding counties to collect food and grass.

A large amount of food and grass has been continuously transported to the front line to solve the worries of the army.

Han Xin is not a pedantic person. Although he does not hurt the people, he still has to collect food and grass. According to Han Xin's judgment, the battle of Luoyang is bound to be protracted, and food and grass are the lifeblood of the entire army.

With such a vein, naturally it cannot be handed over to Da Jin.

In addition to waiting for food and grass, Han Xin is still waiting for a batch of secret weapons to arrive at the front line. It has been a long time since the P1 artillery came out, and the Industry Department has made new progress and developed a second-generation artillery.

Strictly speaking, the P2 artillery is heavier than the P1 artillery. Correspondingly, the power and range of the artillery are not comparable to the P1 artillery. It is a sharp weapon specially developed by the Industrial Bureau for siege.

It can be described as a heavy weapon of a great country.

In order to promote the industrialization process of the Dajin Dynasty, the Daxia Industrial Bureau also built two arsenals in Dajin, so as to make use of the abundant coal and iron ore resources in Hedong Province nearby.

Unexpectedly, these two arsenals became key players in the Battle of Luoyang.

As early as a month ago, the two arsenals had been producing P2 artillery round the clock, and then they were hoarded for use in the Battle of Luoyang.

After Daxia comprehensively promoted industrialization, the transportation problem of the artillery was basically solved. The steel frame was used as the bone, and with rubber tires, the heavy P2 artillery could be transported across the mountains and to the front line.

What Han Xin is waiting for is this batch of key weapons and equipment.

For a mighty city like Luoyang, if it relies on crowd tactics, no matter how many people there are, it won't be enough to fill it up. It's just death in vain.

The only way is to use artillery to forcibly collapse the city wall and enter the city to fight.

On July 15th, two hundred P2 guns finally arrived at the front line.

Without hesitation, Han Xin led his troops out of the camp the next day and formally launched an attack on Luoyang City. The attack method is very simple, that is, it revolves around the P2 artillery.

Two hundred artillery pieces were pushed to the front line, and under the protection of the army, they attacked the north city wall of Luoyang.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cannonball crossed a beautiful arc, like a meteor, and slammed into the city wall fiercely. As soon as it collided, there was a loud explosion sound. Only one cannonball stirred up pieces of stone debris on the solid city wall.

"it is good!"

Han Xin saw it, with a look of joy on his face.

The P2 artillery is indeed a powerful siege weapon. Even if the Luoyang city wall is tens of meters thick, it cannot withstand repeated bombings. If it is not disturbed, it can destroy a city wall in just two days.

"Be alert!"

Han Xin was not dazzled by the victory. At this time, the most worrying thing is that the Han army took the initiative to go out of the city in order to destroy the artillery. This is the only way for the enemy to crack it.

With Han Xin's experience, how could he not guard against this move.

that's the truth.

On the top of the city, seeing the Great Xia Army, which had been calm for a week, suddenly leave the camp, Wei Qing, who had been staying on the tower, realized something was wrong and ordered the whole army to be on alert.

When the two hundred cannons were pushed out by the enemy, Wei Qing felt a pimple in his heart.

Naturally, the level of science and technology of the Han Dynasty in the wilderness of reality will not always stay at the level of the Han Dynasty in history. In that case, how could it be competitive.

The head of Luoyang City is also densely packed with artillery, but they are all original versions.

What made Wei Qing uneasy was that the enemy artillery stopped one by one and started to reload before they reached the range of the artillery at the top of the city. Obviously, the range of the enemy's artillery far exceeds that of the Dahan's.

When the artillery fired a round of salvos, Wei Qing's expression became even more serious.

As a legendary general with the same reputation as Han Xin, Wei Qing naturally made the same judgment as Han Xin, knowing that if he didn't take immediate action to destroy the enemy's artillery, Luoyang City would definitely not be able to defend.

"Order, let the First Division of the First Legion prepare!"

As soon as he came up, Wei Qing dispatched ace cavalry. With the limited width of the city gate, sending a cavalry division is the limit. No matter how much it takes for the cavalry to pass through the city gate, the enemy may take advantage of the loophole.

If one is not good, the enemy may take the opportunity to occupy the city gate without the enemy smashing down the city wall.

Naturally, Wei Qing would not make such a low-level mistake.

Can Wei Qing's intention be realized with only one cavalry division? No one can tell.
