Chapter 1825: The Third Battle of Luoyang (Final)

After Qin Jian encouraged Cheng Cheng a few words, he said to everyone: "Now Li Tang is fierce, and most of the soldiers in Luoyang City are recruits, and the elite is insufficient.

The military advisor has ordered that from now on, all the private soldiers of the major families must join the city defense army and garrison Luoyang.

My children of the Qin family must be an example, all men over the age of 16 must participate in the war to defend Luoyang. ”

"Yes, Fourth Uncle."

All the Qin family disciples shouted in unison, all of them looked excited, only Hu Hai was frightened.

He hadn't even cultivated the first layer of the Ancestral Dragon Technique, so if he went to the battlefield, how could he survive?

The Qin family spared no effort in comparing the cultivation of the children of their own clan, and even took out the ancestral mastery of the "Ancestral Dragon Jue" without reservation and gave it to all the school-age disciples to learn, which was unique before, so the disciples of the Qin family were full of a sense of belonging to the Qin family.

Hu Hai can naturally learn the full version of the Ancestral Dragon Decision, but he doesn't know how to cherish such a precious opportunity, and he is often lazy when practicing, so that now the Ancestral Dragon Technique can break through the first layer.

At this time, Hu Hai regretted it incomparably, when he first practiced, it would be nice if he was working harder.

At the same time as the Qin family was mobilizing, other families in Luoyang City were also mobilizing, and the whole city was preparing for war, which was naturally Jia Xu's order.

The news of the fall of Hanguguan and Li Cunxiao's disappearance has always been suppressed by Jia Xu and not announced, after all, if such a major event is announced, it will definitely cause a riot.

Jia Xu originally wanted to limit the battlefield to the front line of Yewang Yiyang, but he didn't expect that the Tang army would dare to bypass the two cities and march directly to Luoyang without capturing Yewang Yiyang.

In this case, the fall of Hangu Pass will naturally not be hidden, and Jia Xu can only announce that Hangu Pass has fallen.

However, Li Cunxiao's disappearance, Jia Xu still did not announce it, after all, Li Cunxiao's life and death alone will affect the morale of the whole army.

"The military division has been found out, and the number of Tang troops that bypassed the two cities of Yewang and Yiyang is between 60,000 and 70,000." Gai Nie reported in a deep voice.

"So much?"

Jia Xu was suddenly surprised, he also thought that Cheng Chan's statement that 'the Tang army has more than 40,000 troops' was to cover up his statement that he abandoned the city and fled, but he didn't expect that the number of Tang troops was more than what Cheng Chan said.

After Jia Xu ordered Tan Daoji to lead 10,000 troops to support the front line, there were only 5,000 main forces left in Luoyang City at this time, including 4,000 Flying Tiger Army, and the remaining 30,000 troops were all recruits who had just been recruited, and their combat effectiveness and fighting spirit were very limited.

The main force of the 60,000 or 70,000 Tang Army is about to attack, but Luoyang only has 30,000 recruits and 5,000 main forces.

Therefore, Jia Xu ordered to reorganize the private soldiers of the major families and use them to defend the city.

In fact, with the thorough implementation of Qin Hao's policy, there are actually not many private soldiers left in the family under the jurisdiction of the Qin army, after all, once the number is overnumbered, once it is reported, it will be directly defined as a rebellion, and then the family will destroy the ancestors, so of course the family does not dare to expand the private army.

However, although there are no private soldiers in the family, there are still hundreds of guards.

There are all kinds of things, and they really let Jia Xu make up 5,000 family soldiers.

Relying only on these 5,000 private soldiers is definitely not enough, so Jia Xu ordered to open the treasury and temporarily recruit 50,000 strong men to participate in the defense of Luoyang, which made the ministers of the DPRK and China feel at ease, but there are still some people who are not at ease.

These ministers were not worried about the Qin army's ability to defend the city, but they were not worried about the city of Luoyang.

5,000 main forces, 30,000 recruits, 5,000 family soldiers, 50,000 Luoyang strong men, just from the data, as long as you don't deliberately die, or go out to attack, there is no problem at all to defend the fortified city of Luoyang, but the key is that the city of Luoyang is a bit evil.

Don't look at the tall city walls of Luoyang, the arrow tower and other defensive equipment, the variety is complete, and there are many of them, and the appearance of strong defense looks very strong, but in fact it is almost the same as the decoration, and it has not been held a few times so far.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban Army attacked Luoyang, and the Han army defended Luoyang, but Luoyang was lost, and the Han court retreated into Guanzhong.

However, because it was the big man who took the initiative to give up, he naturally couldn't blame Luoyang City this time.

After that, the Han coalition army counterattacked Luoyang, the Ming army defended Luoyang, and the Han coalition army successfully occupied Luoyang.

Later, the Kwantung princes allied forces to fight against Dong, and the Liang army defended Luoyang, but the result was that Luoyang was lost, the Liang army retreated into Guanzhong, and Luoyang fell into the hands of Qin Hao.

Luoyang City seems to have been defended to a curse, and it seems that its defense is very powerful, but the enemy has fallen once and has not been defended once so far.

With so many precedents of losing ground, the ministers of the DPRK and China will naturally be afraid that Luoyang will be broken by the Tang army again.

Many officials proposed to move the capital and let His Majesty the Emperor merge the state, in order to prevent His Majesty from falling into a crisis if Luoyang could not hold it.

The enemy moved the capital before he came, which would only make the situation more chaotic, and in the face of these speculators who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Jia Xu naturally reprimanded them harshly, and silently wrote down their names in the small book in his heart.

Subsequently, Jia Xu announced that Li Tang's army did not bring siege equipment, and it was impossible to attack Luoyang, and he had asked Hebei for reinforcements, as long as he held Luoyang for a month, Hebei's reinforcements would rush back.

These two pieces of news made the Manchu civil and military feel a lot more at ease, but those with ulterior motives jumped up and down even more.

For these people who were hidden before, but now they stand up to do things, one is counted as one, and all of them are recorded in a small book by Jia Xu.

Although the imperial party elements headed by Ma Riyan, Kong Rong, and Yang Jun were bent on muddying the waters and creating opportunities for Li Shimin, they were beaten by Jia Xu's combination punches and did not know how to fight back.

In general, the imminent arrival of the Tang army in Luoyang, as well as the deliberate provocation of the imperial party in the city, did bring a lot of turmoil to Luoyang, but under Jia Xu's various means, Luoyang City was panicked but not chaotic, and everything was going on in an orderly manner on the good side.

Jia Xu has a big plan in his heart, a big plan to wipe out these Han diehards.

These people are hiding too deeply, even if Qin Hao was the king before, they only jumped out of some trash fish that were sent to death, and the real big fish were all lurking, and if they didn't take the initiative to jump out, they didn't know who it was.

If it weren't for the emptiness of Luoyang's troops this time, and Li Shimin's army was coming, I am afraid that these people would still not take the initiative to jump out.

Therefore, Jia Xu is ready to take advantage of the fourth, no, the third Luoyang War, to lure out all the latent imperial parties and kill them all, he wants to leave Qin Hao with a court without any hidden dangers.
