    In response to the thunderbolt chariots attacking the city, the soldiers of the Han army already had a way. On the top of the city, a layer of weeds was spread on the surface of the thick wooden planks, which could slow down the impact of the stones. The wooden planks were also inclined to push the stones away.  The power of the attack was released a little more, but when it hit it, it no longer had much power, and it could hardly cause much damage to the defenders on the top of the city.

    But the Thunderbolt Chariot also had its effect. The powerful momentum boosted the morale of the Wei soldiers and emboldened the siege soldiers.

    After all the stones were fired, the real siege began.  The arrow tower slowly advanced, and dense arrows flew towards the city.

    "Kill!" The soldiers of the Wei army shouted loudly, holding a shield in one hand and a ladder in the other, and rushed towards the city.

    "Fire the arrow!" Liu Min shouted.

    The arrows of the Han army poured over like a heavy rain, and the Wei soldiers on the arrow tower fell one after another.  The soldiers who were charging forward were shot and killed one by one and fell to the ground, screaming in agony.  Even some army commanders, commanders, and centurions who were commanding from behind thought that their positions were safe, but they did not expect that they would be shot into the heart by big iron arrows, and some of them were even penetrated by men and horses.

    Xu Yi, who was commanding, was shocked and felt a chill in his heart. How could the Han army's arrows be so powerful.

    How did he know that on top of the city, in addition to ordinary strong bows and hard crossbows, there were also Wei army crossbowmen holding repeating crossbows on the arrow towers, and the targets of the gale crossbows were the thousands of men who were commanding in the distance.  Sima of Changhe Army.

    Before they could reach the city, a large number of people were killed and injured, which made the Wei soldiers afraid and did not dare to rush forward.

    "Come over, those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy!" Xu Yi yelled through gritted teeth.

    The last time he fought, he suffered a loss, and it affected the morale of the army, and he was almost executed by the coach Xu Huang.  This time, the military order was invited to serve with guilt, so how could we just go back?

    "Kill!" Upon hearing this, the Wei soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to charge forward.

    The sound of war drums, shouts of death, and screams were intertwined and lasted for nearly two hours before slowly stopping.

    The soldiers of the Wei army never rushed to the top of the city because the Han army's defensive equipment was too powerful and there were many soldiers on the top of the city.  After paying the lives of more than 3,000 soldiers, Dianman and Xu Yi finally led their troops back.  With more than half of them dead or injured, they will definitely be unable to continue the attack.

    Starting from a place more than ten feet away from the city wall, the corpses of Wei Jun were densely packed and piled up to the bottom of the city.  Many ladders were still leaning against the city wall and were stained red with blood. There were corpses of some Wei soldiers hanging on them in twos and threes.

    The five or six destroyed arrow towers were even more miserable.  Because at the last moment, the Han army used flying thunder, and the mutilated corpses were scattered here and there.

    The effect of the entire siege was not good, and the Han army suffered only a few hundred casualties.

    Xu Huang did not blame Dianman and Xu Yi, because siege battles are like this. A strong city like this is heavily guarded. It may take a month or even several months to truly break through. How can it be successful in one go?

    For two days in a row, he sent a large army to continue to attack the city, but the effect was still the same. The Wei army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, while the Han army suffered less than 2,000 casualties.

    Finally, after three consecutive days of attacking, it stopped. Both sides needed to repair themselves.

    In Luoyang, people are still coming and going on the streets in good order.

    Although the Wei and Wu Allied armies sent troops from five directions and the war almost burned all around Luoyang, the officials, people, and merchants in the city did not worry at all.  Because they believed in the Han army and even more so in the King of Han.

    The Han army was extremely brave and invincible in the world.  The king of Han was resourceful and never failed.

    Liu Sheng, the eldest son of the King of Han, is now seven years old. He has completely inherited the advantages of the King of Han. He is smart and studious, kind and courageous, and very filial.  At a young age, he can show his love and care for his younger siblings.

    Of course, all of this is inseparable from his mother, Cai Yu, the royal concubine of the Han Dynasty, and also from Cai Xi, the head of the Cai family.

    Liu Cong, the king of Han, was a hero in troubled times, but he had a heart of fraternity. He was not only filial to his mother, but also took good care of every member of his family.  The smart Cai Xi naturally knew that if he wanted to secure his position as the crown prince, he must become a philanthropic person.

    In the back garden of the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince Liu Sheng, who had just returned from school, was taking the exam from his mother Cai Yu.

    Liu Sheng was able to answer his mother's school exams fluently, which made Cai Yu very satisfied.

    "Sheng'er is good, but you still need to work hard and not let your father down."your expectations.  "

    "Mother and concubine, the child remembers it!" Liu Sheng smiled very obediently, "The child must do what the father said, establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"

    "My mother is very pleased that Sheng'er has such an ambition" Cai Yuzheng said, and suddenly the smile on her face froze, and then turned into extreme horror.

    And Liu Sheng, who was only seven years old, also felt a cold air coming from behind.

    "Sheng'er, be careful" Cai Yu exclaimed and subconsciously threw herself on her son Liu Sheng.

    The next moment, an assassin in black was seen flying over at lightning speed. A long sword in his hand, shining with cold light, stabbed Liu Sheng in the back of the heart.

    And at this critical moment, Caiyu had already blocked his son with his own body.

    There was a "pop" sound, and the tip of the sword penetrated Cai Yu's back.

    "Ah Sheng'er hurry someone is here" Cai Yu clenched her teeth and shouted loudly, "There is an assassin!"

    Seeing that he had failed, the assassin in black quickly drew his sword and prepared to stab him again.

    Although all this happened very quickly, the guards of the Prince's Mansion also reacted very quickly. Seven or eight figures had already rushed over from all directions, each holding a long sword and surrounding the black-clothed assassin.

    "Quick, protect the prince and the princess, and take down the assassin!" Liu Wu, the guard commander, shouted loudly.

    "Seeking death!" The black-clothed assassin squeezed out two words through his teeth, which was extremely cold. At the same time, he shook the sword in his hand and stabbed a guard.

    All the guards shot out arrows almost at the same time, stabbing the assassin in black.  But the black-clothed assassin's body was extremely agile, and his sword skills were fast and ruthless. The long sword pierced the guard's heart, and cleverly avoided the swords thrust by others.

    Liu Wu was shocked when he saw it. He knew that this assassin was extraordinary and a master of swordsmanship.  These guards in the palace were all taught by Shi A, and their sword skills were very good. Ordinary rangers were no match for them.  But in just a blink of an eye, the opponent defused the attack and killed one person. How powerful this person was!

    "You two, protect the princess and the prince and retreat, the others will follow me to kill the assassin!" Liu Wu shouted loudly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
