When Liu Zhong came out of Hua Yan's house, his face was full of haggardness, Liu Zhong thought of a lot of words to comfort Bi Yan, but it didn't seem to be useful at all, Hua Yan was still so sad, but if he could avenge his brother, then Hua Yan would be fine.

But how easy is this revenge? At least for now, he Liu Zhong does not have the ability to mention Huarong for revenge.

Liu Xia's army came over, Liu Zhong began to feel that danger was coming, if he was not prepared at all in the face of Liu Xia's attack, he would definitely be directly disabled by Liu Xia, and maybe this Luoyang achievement would be replaced by a new master in a few days.

Liu Zhong looked at everything in this Fuwang Mansion, his eyes were a little lost, from the day he followed King Li Zicheng to revolt to now surrender to the Qing army, he Liu Zhong has experienced a lot of things, he has seen a lot of deaths, and the wars he has participated in are too many to count, and now Liu Zhong is even more concerned about his life.

The higher a person's status, the more greedy he is for life and fear of death.

Liu Zhong doesn't want to die, there are hundreds of beauties in his harem, which one is not delicate and beautiful? He can go to whichever beautiful woman's bed he wants, how free he is in this life, if he dies, there will be nothing, no money, no more beauty, no power.

"No, I can't die!"

Liu Zhong quickened his pace to the study, where his most loyal subordinates were waiting for him.

When Liu Zhong got the news that the Tiger Prison Pass had been breached, Liu Zhong called his own important subordinates over, but when he heard that Bi Yan had fainted, he interrupted the meeting and hurriedly went to visit Hua Yan.

"Squeak~~"

Liu Zhong opened the door of the study, and the seven or eight people inside were still waiting for Liu Zhong.

---------

At this time, it was already Shen Shi (three o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock in the afternoon), and Liu Dazhuang had been waiting under Yanshi City for more than an hour.

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment had already dismounted and set up camp ten miles away from Yanshi City, and Liu Dazhuang sent more than half of his scouts out to closely monitor the situation in Yanshi City.

Liu Dazhuang and Niu Wei were sitting in the tent of the Chinese army at this time, and the two of them were thinking about how to enter the city with sad faces.

Although there are not many people defending the city in Yanshi City, his Tiger Ben Regiment does not have any siege equipment now, and there are not so many soldiers with siege experience, so how can he Liu Dazhuang attack the city? If it is a strong attack, I am afraid that the Yanshi will not be attacked by then, and his tiger group will be destroyed first.

"There are four gates in Yanshi City, and we don't have many troops, so we can't divide our troops, so we can only concentrate them together."

Liu Dazhuang drank the already cold tea on the table into his stomach in one gulp.

Niu Wei frowned and said: "Our army is currently about 1,000 people, which is about the same as the enemy in Yanshi City, and with the same strength, the loss of attacking the city must be very large." ”

Liu Dazhuang continued with some distress: "This tiger regiment was established by me, and seventy percent of the soldiers in this tiger regiment are new recruits, and most of them have no experience, let them attack the city, alas." ”

"If those veterans are about the same, at least they have fought a lot of battles, and all of them are experienced."

Niu Wei sighed and said: "Most of the veterans have been selected into the pro-guard regiment, but this can't blame the general, the pro-guard regiment is indeed very important, as far as the pro-guard team around us who protects us are not all transferred from the pro-guard regiment?" If these pro-guards are not powerful, how can they protect the generals? ”

"The general still has an elite army of 3,000 people in his hands." Liu Dazhuang said.

Niu Wei said: "You mean the surrender army? ”

Liu Dazhuang nodded and said: "That's right, it's the surrender of the Qing army, although these people are surrendering the army, but the combat effectiveness is good, and all of them are veterans who have survived a lot of battles. ”

Niu Hu pursed his lips and said: "Those are still the surrendered troops of the Qing army, and the loyalty is still uncertain, the general will definitely not dare to let us use it, and we will not dare to use it." By the way, Lao Liu, there seems to be an artillery team under the general. ”

Liu Dazhuang nodded and said: "Yes, there is an artillery team, which seems to be led by a person named Wang Xiaotong, there is a red-coated cannon, and several tiger squat cannons." ”

"Where is the general now? If you send someone to ask the general for the artillery team to come to help, then ......" Niu Wei glanced at Liu Dazhuang, and his meaning was already clear.

Liu Dazhuang's eyes immediately showed excitement, and said, "You mean to let the artillery attack the city?" ”

"That's right, why didn't you think of using artillery, our army rarely used artillery before, so much so that we forgot that there was such a thing as artillery in the battle, if there was the cover of artillery, it would not be a problem to take Yanshi City. Okay, I'll immediately send someone to ask the general for artillery. ”

After saying that, Liu Dazhuang immediately shouted outside the tent: "Someone! ”

I saw a personal guard walk in and said, "I don't know what the regiment commander commands?" ”

Liu Dazhuang said: "You find a few scouts to go to the general immediately, just say that you have encountered some trouble in Yanshi City, and you want to ask the general for artillery to come and help!" ”

"Yes," said the guard, and walked out quickly.

"Hahaha, Brother Niu, if you hadn't reminded me, I really forgot that there was an artillery stubble, if Yanshi City was attacked, then this merit would definitely be Brother Niu's!"

Niu Hu hurriedly got up and said: "Brother Liu, don't say that, the last general just thought a little more, this skill belongs to the soldiers, and the siege of the city in the future will depend on the soldiers' desperateness." ”

Liu Dazhuang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's the soldiers."

-------

Liu Xia is now about to reach the Tiger Prison Pass, it only takes an hour to enter the Pass, at this time those people are resting in Bishui County, now Luoyang City is not decided, these people can not enter the Tiger Prison Pass, if Liu Zhonggou jumps over the wall and slaughters the people madly, it will be bad. And leaving these people in Bishui County, Liu Zhong can't reach these people, because there are tiger prisons in the way, so he doesn't have to worry about the safety of these people. Although it is outside the customs, there is no need to worry about the Qing army coming, and the Qing army will not be able to come for a while.

Besides, Bishui County and Tiger Prison Pass are next to each other, if there is any pole or something here, the generals of Tiger Prison Pass can come directly and quickly.

After arranging those people, Liu Xia left the new barracks now with 5,000 people, 3,000 surrendered troops, and 2,000 newly recruited recruits. took the personal guard regiment, the wolf howling camp, the lion camp and so on to the tiger prison pass.

At this time, there was only one of the weakest battalions of the Tiger Regiment, and the battalion commander was named Li Qiang. After he learned of Liu Xia's arrival, he immediately opened the city gate to welcome Liu Xia into Guanzhong.

Liu Xia asked Li Qiang, "What progress has the Tiger Ben Regiment made now?" ”

Li Qiang, the commander of the third battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment, said respectfully: "Tell the general, now that the Tiger Ben Regiment has arrived at the city of Yanshi, it will capture Yanshi on the same day, and then it will continue to attack Luoyang in the west." ”

Just as Liu Xia was about to speak, suddenly a piercing sound of horses' hooves sounded.

I saw that two scouts were rushing towards them, and the soldiers got out of the way, because they all knew that this scout must be someone from the front line, and the military order could not be delayed.

The two scouts stopped more than ten meters away from Liu Xia, then turned over and dismounted and walked quickly towards Liu Xia.

The two of them bowed respectfully to Liu Xia and said, "Tell the general, the news from the front." ”

Liu Xia said indifferently: "Say!" ”

The scout said: "The head of the Tiger Regiment, Liu Dazhuang Yang Yongxiao, asked the general for instructions and transferred the artillery team under the general to help. ”

Liu Xia asked, "How is Liu Dazhuang doing now?" ”

The scout said: "General Huiyu, at this time, the regiment commander and the deputy regiment commander are stationed ten miles away from Yanshi City, and a large number of scouts have been scattered around Yanshi City, and now Yanshi City is even a mosquito that can't get out." ”

"It's just that the Yanshi City is well defended and it is not easy to attack it, so the regiment commander and the deputy regiment commander discussed it and borrowed artillery from the general."

Chen Liudao, who was next to him: "General, most of the Tiger Ben Regiment are new recruits, and they have no experience in attacking the city at all, and now they don't have siege equipment, and it is a little difficult to attack the city in a well-defended Yanshi." Moreover, this artillery has not been used many times when it has been formed for a long time, and it has shelled Kong Youde's army once when Kong Youde attacked, and it has been rarely used. ”

Why didn't Liu Xia know the power of artillery? In the future, the world will be full of muskets and artillery, but the artillery at this time is very heavy, and it is a little difficult to move, and most of today's artillery is erected on the city wall to defend against the enemy, rather than the kind of cannon like the later two wheels running behind the armored car.

At this time, Wang Xiaotong, the captain of the artillery brigade not far away, immediately stepped forward and said, "General, my subordinates please go and help Commander Liu!" ”

This is the first time Wang Xiaotong has asked for his life, and he has never had it before, and at this time he is worried in his heart, and he doesn't know how Liu Xia thinks of him. However, for the sake of the brothers in the artillery team, he had to face the head, and the brothers in the artillery team were shouting for meritorious service, and he, as the captain, should have come to ask for the lives of the soldiers.

Liu Xia glanced at Wang Xiaotong, and immediately made Wang Xiaotong's body tighten, and then Liu Xia smiled: "Well, yes, in that case, Wang Xiaotong, you will take the artillery brigade to pull the cannon and quickly go to Yanshi City!" ”

That Wang Xiaotong immediately said to Liu Xia seriously: "Yes!" Absolutely complete the task! After that, Wang Xiaotong left in a hurry and began to prepare to go to Yanshi.

After a while, Liu Xia and those generals arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Xia said as he walked: "According to the plan, the wolf howling battalion will go to Yiyang, and the lion battalion will go to Mengjin, there are not many guards in these two counties, and your battalion of soldiers and horses is enough." After taking it, stay behind a brigade, and then quickly advance to Luoyang, and then Luoyang will join the army! ”

"Yes! The task will be completed in the end."

"Yes! The task will be completed in the end."
