Chapter 33: Lure into the city

"Dashuai, it's not okay to attack like this!" Li Zicheng, who was in Nanyang, was not worried about the battle in Luoyang, and after arranging everything in Nanyang, he hurried to Luoyang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The tragedy of the battle of Luoyang greatly exceeded Li Zicheng's expectations, although Li Zicheng had long been prepared for a difficult battle, but he did not expect that this Luoyang City would be so difficult to fight, and the two-day attack did not achieve any effect, if it was replaced by other cities, it would have been taken long ago.

"Hongji, you're finally here!" Now Gao Yingxiang is also a headache, Zhang Xianzhong's troops have already captured the city, but suddenly all of them withdrew, which makes Gao Yingxiang also regretful, although he would prefer to see his troops be the first to enter Luoyang City, but if Zhang Xianzhong can enter Luoyang, it will also be a great encouragement to the righteous army.

"Dashuai, give me some more men, and I'll take the brothers to rush again!" Liu Zongmin was supported by his lieutenant general, and said breathlessly.

"Liu Zongmin, are you guilty?" Gao Yingxiang certainly understood that the reason why Zhang Xianzhong's troops all retreated was nothing more than Liu Zongmin's hand.

"The last general is also for our Gao family's army, so he made this decision!" Liu Zongmin understood what Gao Yingxiang was referring to.

"Dashuai, spare General Liu, spare him!" The generals behind him knelt down and pleaded for Liu Zongmin.

Gao Yingxiang didn't really want to hold Liu Zongmin accountable, of course he wouldn't talk about it, and besides, Liu Zongmin's starting point was also for the entire Gao family's army, thinking of this, Gao Yingxiang's tone also became more easy-going, "Go down and recuperate!"

"Dashuai!" Liu Zongmin wanted to fight again, but was quickly pulled down by the lieutenants on both sides.

"Report, big marshal! Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's troops have withdrawn from Luoyang and are heading southwest!" Gao Yingxiang's sentry rode quickly.

"Hey, Zong Min!" Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but sigh. Although Liu Zongmin's move is for Gao Jiajun, if this matter is publicized, it will definitely be a big stain on him Gao Yingxiang. Zhang Xianzhong said goodbye without saying goodbye this time, obviously knowing. I'm afraid that seeing this Zhang Zhongzhong in the future can only be the time when the two armies face off on the battlefield.

"Dashuai, don't be angry, the top priority is to quickly capture this Luoyang City! Although this Zhang Xianzhong has withdrawn, we still have nearly 200,000 men and horses, and we still have the advantage!" Li Zicheng certainly understood the status of this Liu Zongmin in Gao Yingxiang's heart, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Yes, Hongji, do you have any good ideas?" Gao Yingxiang cheered up and looked at Luoyang City not far away.

"Attack inside and outside!" Li Zicheng sketched on his hand.

Luoyang City, the battle that has already started has made the city a mess, the artillery of the rogue is constantly roaring, the streets of the city are full of traces left by artillery, and from time to time there will be a raging flame somewhere.

"Remember, wait until it gets dark to move on to welcome the army into the city. "Dozens of men in a ruined temple are planning something.

These people are the meticulous work that Li Zicheng sent into the city early, and they have been carefully lurking in the city, and when the time comes, they will immediately take Luoyang City. Today, they finally received Li Zicheng's order, and as soon as it was dark, they would immediately open the city gate to welcome the army into the city. And what they didn't know was that their every move in the city was already under the watchful eye of the eagle.

"Bang!" Just as the mole was discussing something, the door of the broken temple was kicked open from the outside.

"Who is it?" As soon as the leading man stood up, he was shot into a hedgehog by a sudden arrow. The rest of the people saw that they were not good, and quickly scattered to block the incoming arrows.

"Shoot them for me!" Outside the temple, the commander of an officer and army kept scolding his soldiers, and hundreds of rockets were fired at the broken temple with the commander's order.

"The brothers rushed out to fight with the officers and soldiers!" Seeing that the officers and soldiers used rockets, the remaining rogues rushed out desperately waving the long knives in their hands, but before they could get out of the broken temple, they were all knocked down by the arrows of the officers and soldiers.

"Give me a closer look to see if there's a living mouth!" the commander carefully examined each corpse, for fear that there would be a living mouth.

"Your Excellency, everything is done!" Lu Weiqi's sedan chair had just fallen, and the commander quickly ran to report.

"Got it!"

"Ignorance, understood!"

Outside Luoyang City, the hundreds of thousands of troops under Yang Sichang were all waiting for the day, just waiting for Wang Feng's order to send troops to Luoyang City.

"Young Marshal, Master Lu replied, the matter has been done!" Dahu took out Lu Weiqi's handwritten letter from his belt.

"Got it, tell everyone to get ready! Transfer to Luoyang tonight!" Wang Feng picked up the letter and swept it casually, the excitement on his face could not be concealed.

"Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" Liu Zongmin, who had been hiding under the city tower since evening, kept staring at the East Gate Tower, for fear of missing something. But after three hours, apart from the incessant roar of our own artillery, the east gate has not changed at all.

"General, do you look at the torch?" Just when Liu Zongmin was impatient, a torch that kept swinging appeared in the east gate building, which kept shaking, and the city gate tower, which had been closed, suddenly opened.

"the mother, finally succeeded, inform the brothers to rush into the city to eat meat!"

"Rush!" The rogues, who were waiting impatiently like Liu Zongmin, rushed as soon as they got the order, and ran towards the city gate.

"General, we are General Li's people, now the city gate has been controlled by us, we will show you the way!" More than a dozen black-clothed people at the city gate were already holding torches and blades, Liu Zongmin had just entered the city, and a leading man stepped forward with a token and said.

"Okay! Sure enough, it's General Li's person, leading the way to Fuwangfu!" Liu Zongmin had already understood clearly before entering the city, the most valuable place in Luoyang City was Fuwangfu, and legend has it that the silver of Fuwangfu was piled up into a mountain. Now that he has entered the city, how could Liu Zongmin let go of such a God of Wealth.

"Also, you go and inform the marshal and the other brothers, and let them hurry into the city to meet us!" Liu Zongmin instructed his lieutenant general to go and report the news.

On the other side, Gao Yingxiang's men were waiting for Liu Zongmin's news early on.

General Liu asked the last general to tell the commander that the east gate had been controlled by our army, and he hoped that the commander would respond quickly. The adjutant sent by Liu Zongmin to report the news immediately said respectfully.

"Okay! Pass my order, and all the troops will enter the city at once!" Gao Yingxiang didn't expect this victory to come so quickly, and he excitedly turned his horse into the city.

"Dashuai!" Li Zicheng grabbed the reins of Gao Yingxiang's horse, "Dashuai, the situation in the city is unknown now, you still wait for news in the rear!"

Gao Yingxiang decisively rejected Li Zicheng's suggestion, raised the horsewhip and whipped the horse's belly fiercely, and the painful horse ran away, leaving only a puff of gray smoke behind him.
