Chapter 222: Reinforcements

Zhu Yaoshi and Song Huafu climbed to the bell and drum tower to drink, Zhu Yaoshi pointed to the big bell, "Old Song, do you know that when I invaded Jinling, it was on the bell and drum tower that I witnessed the death of Emperor Ming!" ”

"Your Majesty's life is legendary, and there will be a lot of color in the history books in the future, so think about it, what regrets? Haha, come, the minister is just a teacher, and it would be good to die as Shang Shuling in the end! ”

"The Central Plains gained by itself, and lost by the hand of the self! Well, this ending, not bad! Come, old Song, I respect you! ”

The two monarchs and ministers were drinking and waiting for the enemy army to come in, but a few people ran in the distance and shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! King Qin's reinforcements have arrived! ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Reinforcements have arrived! ”

"Your Majesty! Where are you, the minions are back! ”

Pharmacist Zhu and Song Huafu looked down, and it was Huai En who had brought a few people back.

"Wynne! How did you come back again! Have you done what I entrusted you? ”

"Your Majesty! The minions and Mr. Qiu brought reinforcements! Please also ask Your Majesty to receive them! Wynne continued to shout below

Song Huafu whispered: "Could it be that he betrayed his lord to seek glory and lured His Majesty so that he could capture His Majesty and give a greeting gift to the enemy!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu was very calm, "No, Mr. Qiu is not such a person, you see that Mr. Qiu is still there on crutches!" What's more, he doesn't need to be so troublesome if he wants to sell his lord for glory, just bring someone up to catch him! ”

The two of them got off the bell and drum tower, and several people around Huai En hurriedly kowtowed and shouted long live under the guidance of Huai En.

The people who were carrying things not far away also stopped, and these few kneeling and shouting long live were wearing armor and helmets.

The emperor still has soldiers! The eunuchs and palace maids who were still carrying the materials in the palace immediately stopped, and a few bold ones hurriedly ran along the wall.

"The last general, Yang Hua, has seen the emperor!"

"Xiaguan Zhou Fan greets Your Majesty!"

"Next, no, the end is not a general, Yang Chunfu, a grass man in Mengzhou, greets Your Majesty!"

Pharmacist Zhu smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "You are loyal, please get up quickly, at this moment of national crisis, you are showing your loyalty and talent!" Well, Yang Hua, you immediately take over the defense of the capital, and lead the headquarters to go to the West Gate to resist the enemy as the right general! Zhou Fan, I appointed you as Jing Zhaoyin, led the people of the headquarters to bring the people to fight the fire in the capital, Yang Chunfu, I named you the governor of Mengzhou, and led the people of the headquarters to assist General Yang in defending the capital! ”

The three kneeling on the ground didn't react for a while, and Wynne hurriedly shouted, "Thank you!" Thank you, Lord Longne! ”

The three of them came back to their senses and thanked him, and Yang Chunfu kowtowed and thanked him while asking, "Your Majesty, the grass people still have ordinary brothers, and they want to ask for a name!" ”

Huai En hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the more than 1,000 people brought by Yang Chunfu are all exiles, what he means is that he wants to become a soldier of Great Wei, and he has a name!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu laughed, "Okay, good, give!" Yang Chunfu, I hope you are my blessed general, so I will give you the name of the blessing camp! ”

Qiu Xingzhi urged behind him, "Three, hurry up and take your headquarters to meet the enemy and defend the city, Marshal Wang's army is almost here!" ”

The three of them hurriedly got up and led their troops to meet the enemy, and at this time, the fire had spread to the root of the Imperial City, and it was about to burn to the Suzaku Gate.

Yang Hua, Zhou Fan, and Yang Chunfu led people out of the Suzaku Gate without hesitation, fighting the fire, saving people, and the rest of the capable people went to the roof to prepare for defense.

After the three of them led the troops away, Zhu Yaoshi asked Huai En and Qiu Xingzhi what was going on, and Huai En knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"The minions recognized dozens of godsons outside the palace, and these three are the ones who usually have the least eyesight, and the minions didn't expect that they would bring troops to King Qin!"

"Chief Ouchi, it's a shame, I don't have a son yet, you are a eunuch, and you have dozens of sons. Well, yes, this time it's a meritorious service! Except for these three

What about the rest of the people? ”

Wynne replied with a crying voice, "Your Majesty, the slaves have no eyes, those people usually flatter and give gifts, but at this time of crisis, the figures are gone!" ”

"Then these three people, why did they bring troops to the rescue, I am very curious now!"

The minions didn't know at first, but after meeting them, the minions suddenly realized. Soon after the capital was moved, the slaves once went out of the palace to do things for the emperor, and when they encountered these three people being bullied by a black shop, the slaves saved them, and they kowtowed to me as a godfather, and the slaves accepted them, sent them a little money and goods to them and let them go. After that, the three of them came to see me every year with a pot of wine, a piece of meat, and a piece of cloth, and I didn't care, I sent them hundreds of dollars! The minions didn't take it seriously, but these three felt that this was a great favor, and this time they learned that the capital was in trouble, so they scattered all their wealth and brought people to King Qin! ”

Pharmacist Zhu sighed: "These three people are grateful for their kindness!" Rare! By the way, Mr. Qiu, you deceived them that Marshal Wang's army was coming, I still can't bear it, I think we should break through tonight! ”

Qiu Xingzhi coughed twice, "Ahem, our army has only a few thousand infantry, most of them are men who usually farm, and they can still rely on the roof and the city wall to defend in the city, if they go out of the city, they will be gone in a few hours!" The enemy cavalry is not vegetarian! What's more, Marshal Wang's reinforcements have arrived in the next few days! ”

"Isn't that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind! Okay, I'll stay here to be the cicada that lures the enemy! ”

Song Huafu has been silent, and when he heard this, he also knew that there was still hope for defending Luoyang, and his heart was much more steady.

Wang Tiezhu's army was indeed not far from Luoyang City, and the spies sent out reported that Luoyang had fallen halfway, and Wang Tiezhu's first reaction was to urge the whole army to enter the city to rescue.

Tang Sixin stopped Wang Tiezhu again, "Marshal Wang, only half of the city has fallen, which means that there are still troops in the city resisting, and our entry into the city at this time is just a tactic to add oil, which is not good for our army!" It's better to go straight to the rear of the enemy army and cut off the enemy's food route, so that the siege can be truly lifted! ”

Marshal Wang is still very worried about the safety of Luoyang, "It's not that I don't know what the military advisor said, but if you don't go to the rescue first, you have to bypass Luoyang, in case of any accidents, what face do we have to see the emperor!" ”

"That's right, save the driver! Marshal Wang took all the cavalry away, and I led the infantry to the west of the city with great fanfare, so as to buy you time. Most importantly, let the people in the city know that reinforcements are coming from outside! ”

Wang Tiezhu looked at the thin old man in front of him and hesitated a little: "Military division, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops on the west side of the city, aren't you sending more than 3,000 infantry troops to death?" Don't take this risk, you might as well enter the city through the east gate and defend the city with the defenders in the city! ”

"Without bait to let them take precautions, your surprise attack will hardly work! The enemy army is not a fool either! Don't worry, I won't fight with them! Go ahead, the sooner the better! ”

Wang Tiezhu got on his horse and led more than 1,000 cavalry around Luoyang City to the west, and Tang Sixin gathered the remaining soldiers and told them plainly that they might all die in the west of the city in this battle.

Many people hesitated, "My mother and son are still in the city, can't they let us take a look?" ”

"Strategist, let's go home and take a look before we go out of the city to retreat from the enemy, we have to see our family before we die!"

"Strategist, let's go back to the city and have a look!"

Tang Sixin was waiting for their words, and deliberately hesitated for a while, "It's not that I'm ruthless, but I don't want you to be sad, there is hope if you don't see it, and if you do, it may not be what you want!" If you want to enter the city, enter the city from the east gate and go up to the city wall to see the current Luoyang City! ”

More than 3,000 soldiers entered the city from the east gate of Luoyang, and the dozens of remaining defenders at the east gate were all overjoyed, and when they saw the elite of the Wei army coming in, they all rushed up to hug them

"Brothers, I hope you're here!"

"Why are you here? Yesterday, the thieves of Tuyuhun still wanted to break in from the east gate, and they came to meet the inside and outside, but we repelled them! ”

"Erzhuzi, all your family members were killed by thieves!"

"Fourth brother, your house was burned, and your sister-in-law doesn't know where they went!"

The Wei army, who had just entered the city, suddenly lost the joy of going home, and some of the others climbed the city wall and saw that the place where they were located was already a pile of rubble.

Some people were relieved to find out that their families had fled, while many more said that their houses had been burned and their families were nowhere to be found.

Originally, there was still a thought, and even the idea of running away with his family, but at this moment there was only one thought left.

Avenge!

"Let's go, go to Simon to find those animals to get revenge!"

"Kill my whole family, the sea of blood is deep, I don't take revenge and swear not to be a person!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was furious, and they all rushed to Tang Sixin.

Tang Sixin knew that this was the time when morale was at its highest, so if he didn't take advantage of this time to kill Ximen, let alone when!

"Brothers, revenge, revenge! What brothers who are not afraid of death dare to kill all the way from the city wall to the west gate? It's a crucial journey! ”

"What are these words? Where are the people in our Tiger Ben Army who are greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"The military advisor looks down on us so much? We're all going to kill them all from the walls! ”

Tang Sixin stretched out his hands to silence everyone, and several commanders also spoke, "The military advisor must have a good idea, let's all listen to what the military advisor has to say!" ”

Tang Sixin's face was solemn, "This time, we are facing an enemy army ten times more numerous than us, and many of them are cavalry!" From this way on the city wall, you must take the West Gate Tower with one blow, control the city gate condescendingly, and beat the war drums of the West Gate! Put up our flags! In this way, the enemy will concentrate all their efforts to capture the west gate. The brothers outside the city attacked the enemy army in three ways, and the target was also the West Gate, so they must stick to the enemy infantry and let them be trapped at the city gate! ”

Deputy General Zhang Zhao took off his helmet and threw it on the ground, "Brothers, I understand what the military advisor said, that is, to use our flesh and blood to separate the enemy troops inside and outside the city, and re-close the city gate to defend the capital!" ”

The soldiers raised their fists to the sky, "I am willing to defend the capital to the death!" Avenge your relatives! ”

Tang Sixin originally wanted to command outside the city, but Zhang Zhao asked him to stay at the east gate, "Strategizing is the business of the military division, and it is our business to go into battle to kill the enemy!" If Marshal Wang can't see the military advisor when he comes back, how can we explain to him! ”

Tang Sixin couldn't resist the five big and three rough soldiers, so he had to stay.

On this day, the Ximen Wei army descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and Tuyuhun's army refused to spit out the meat that reached its mouth.

The city gates were filled with corpses from both sides, and a large banner of the Wei army dyed red remained on the city wall.

Zhang Zhao was stuck with five spears in his back, five spears supported his body, his right hand held the banner of the Wei army, and the long knife in his left hand was stuck in the ground.

Yang Hua, Zhou Fan, Yang Chunfu, and the three people were about to be broken through by the ghost sheep horse, but the Wei army that appeared at the West Gate rescued them.

When the three of them led the men and horses to catch up with the city wall, only Zhang Zhao was left standing on the city with his eyes open.

The three of them led everyone to kneel, and everyone went to get the military flag, but they couldn't break Zhang Zhao's hand, and finally they had to carry the flag down.

Under the setting sun, smoke rose in the distance, and the Tuyuhun army, which was about to attack Ximen again, suddenly rushed to the west.
