Chapter 932: Guarding the outside and suppressing the inside
Chapter 932: Outside and Inside
Cao Cao's offensive remarks were not recognized by the princes, after all, the war has suffered more than 200,000 casualties so far, and the tragic casualties have made some princes retreat, but because of the prestige of the alliance leader Qin Hao, he did not propose to withdraw the army, so he was naturally unwilling to increase the casualties.
"What kind of time is this?"
Yuan Shu stood up with a sneer at this time, and said with a disdainful expression: "The Liang army has a very abundant force in the city, and it can completely take into account the rapid suppression of the riot while defending the city, even if it is forced to attack the city at night, it may not be able to capture it." ”
Cao Cao frowned slightly when he saw this, and said in a deep voice: "Highway, do you mean to ignore it and give up such a great opportunity to scold?" ”
"I didn't mean that, and besides, it doesn't matter if I said it, let's let our alliance leader have an idea." Yuan Shu said in a strange tone.
Qin Hao glanced at Yuan Shu coldly, and said in his heart: This talk is really like a toad crawling on the feet, not biting, and responding to people.
Yuan Shu also sensed Qin Hao's cold gaze, and when he thought of being so miserable by Qin Hao before, he immediately looked away with a weak heart, pretending to look around.
Qin Hao's eyes flashed a trace of speechlessness, and then he said to the princes: "Caozhou Mu is reasonable, such a good opportunity must not be missed, even if you can't capture Luoyang, you can also take advantage of this to strike at the Liang army, in order to break Luoyang as soon as possible." ”
The princes nodded unconsciously, and Qin Hao immediately said when he saw this: "Han Fu, I now order you to lead the army of Jizhou to attack the east gate;
Yuan Shao, you lead the Qingzhou army to attack the West Gate;
Yuan Shu, you lead the army of Yuzhou to attack the north gate;
Gongsun Zhan, you lead the army of Youzhou to attack the south gate. ”
"No!" Han Fu and the other three shouted in unison, while Yuan Shu was a little reluctant, but he still expressed his willingness to comply.
Qin Hao had ordered the whole army to repair for three days, and the fourth day was to officially attack the city, and tonight was the last day, so the whole army was ready to attack tomorrow.
And with Qin Hao's order, the four major state pastors each led 40,000 troops, and the four roads were 160,000 troops, and they rushed towards Luoyang with great momentum.
The coalition army did not make the slightest movement for several days, but this move dispatched 160,000 troops, and attacked the four gates at the same time, and this kind of power also frightened the guards of each gate.
Yang Jian had long been prepared to prepare for the night attack of the coalition forces, and only 40,000 troops were mobilized to suppress the rebellion, and the remaining 80,000 were used to guard against the coalition forces outside the city.
Therefore, even if it is divided, there are 20,000 defenders at the four gates of Luoyang, and the troops are still very sufficient, and it is no problem to block the enemy army twice as large as themselves with the help of the city wall.
Yang Su, who was guarding the east gate of Luoyang, saw that the coalition army was really attacking at this time, and immediately calmly commanded the army to defend the city, and Han Fu, who was responsible for attacking the east gate, sent his son Han Xin to command the siege.
Looking at the majestic Luoyang City, a trace of solemnity flashed in Han Xin's eyes, although he was not optimistic about this night attack, he still tried his best to command the army to attack.
The West Gate was responsible for the defense of Li Keyong, and Yuan Shao sent the general Ju Yi to command the siege.
The defender of the north gate was Zhang Xutuo, who was extremely capable of commanding troops, while Yuan Shu sent Zhao Kuangyinyuan to command the siege.
As for Yin Kaishan, the defender of the south gate, his opponent Gongsun Zhan sent Gongsun Xuanyuan to command the siege.
The coalition army directly attacked the four gates, and the rebels in the city naturally felt such a big movement.
"Folks, the coalition army has come to meet us, everyone is working hard, just open the east gate, and the Liang army will lose."
Some of the families will also use this to encourage morale, and this is also to stimulate the morale of the rebels, but even this will not break through the 10,000 Liang army.
The gap in the average combat strength of the two sides was too large, and Yang Jian's command did not have any flaws, and the rebels did not have any chance, and at this moment, the other three ambushes also arrived and surrounded and killed them from three directions.
"Report ...... General Qiyu, the southwest, north and south armies have arrived. ”
"Okay."
Yang Jian's eyes were full of joy, and he shouted: "Pass the order, immediately start the siege, and never let go of any rebel." ”
There were only more than 20,000 soldiers who participated in the rebellion, but later they were bewitched by the world, and the mob that participated in it was as many as 20,000 or 30,000.
The 10,000 Liang troops at the entrance of Dongdajie simply blocked the rebels who were several times their size, and repelled the rebels nearly ten times to break through, without letting a single rebel enter the East Gate.
The morale of the rebels was not high, and they were repeatedly pushed back, and their morale fell to the bottom.
When it was found that there were three Liang armies coming together, the rebels completely lost their determination to resist, and they all scattered and began to flee, but there were Liang troops in all directions, where could they run?
The encirclement arranged by nearly 40,000 Liang troops is shrinking smaller and smaller, and the screams of the rebels are getting more and more, even if they surrender, they will be beheaded by the coalition forces, and despair begins to spread rapidly among the rebels.
Outside the encirclement, Yang Jian saw that the rebels had completely lost their threat, and immediately ordered the left and right to counter: "Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed." ”
"Put down your weapons, and those who descend will not kill ......"
The Liang troops in all directions shouted, and the rebels saw that the Liang army finally accepted the surrender for some reason, and they dared to resist again, so they hurriedly put down their weapons and begged to surrender.
Some of the patriarchs of the family wanted to stop it, but the rebels were no longer afraid of being killed by the Liang army, and they couldn't resist at all.
Seeing this, some of the patriarchs collapsed to the ground with a desperate face, muttering to themselves: "It's over, it's completely over." ”
Soon the remnants of the rebels were all captured, and with the exception of a few sporadic resistances, the rebellion was largely put down.
"Report, General Qiyu, the rebels have been completely suppressed, our army has roughly killed 32,000 enemies, captured nearly 20,000, and suffered less than 3,000 casualties, and the specific casualties are still being counted."
The Liang army only paid a slight price to completely eliminate all the rebellions in the city, and this rebellion, which involved all the families in Luoyang and numbered nearly 60,000, came to a complete end.
Of course, Yang Jian's task is not over yet, and the next thing is the time to raid the house.
"Crush all these rebels into prisoner-of-war camps."
Yang Jian said coldly, then looked at the generals around him, and said in a deep voice: "All the families involved in this rebellion, their entire clan has been arrested and brought to justice, and all their family property has been confiscated. ”
"No."
All the generals shouted excitedly, after all, raiding the house is a beautiful trip, even if they can only drink some soup, they can still get a lot of benefits.
Yang Jian sent 5,000 soldiers to guard the prisoners of war, and sent another 20,000 troops to raid the major families.
The clan soldiers of the major families were either killed or captured, where is there still the strength to resist.
Overnight, nearly ninety percent of the families in Luoyang were all arrested by Yang Jian, and the Luoyang family was wiped out again, and all the wealth accumulated by the Liang army became the military resources of the Liang army against the coalition army.
