At noon, the gate of the Yanshi City was bombed to pieces, and suddenly the city gate was opened, and the city gate could no longer be defended.

In order to prevent these wealthy families in Yanshi City from escaping, Liu Dazhuang sent three brigades of the second battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment to ambush at the other three city gates.

When these soldiers were asked to go, Liu Dazhuang once again solemnly read out the military regulations on one side, especially emphasizing that private possession was not allowed. His Liu Dazhuang's soldiers can't foul, because he Liu Dazhuang can't afford to lose that person!

"Kill! The first brigade of the first battalion of the Tiger Regiment! ”

"The second brigade of the first battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment charged!"

The heroic soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, dressed in black uniforms, rode their horses and charged towards the Yanshi City, which had already opened the gates.

"Kill !!"

"Whoa~~"

Soon, the two brigades of men and horses had rushed into the city, constantly chasing the family members who fled everywhere like headless flies, and then the east gate of the Yanshi City was planted with the banner of the Pingbei Army, and the yellow dragon flag on the black background fluttered in the wind above the city tower.

"Master, the master is not good, the city gate is broken, hurry up and run!" A housekeeper said to the fat old man who was half a hundred years old in a panic.

The old man was horrified and said, "What! The gates are broken! How could it break! How do you keep it! ”

The housekeeper said with a sad face: "The enemy has cannons, the city gate has been blasted open, and the family members are frightened, and they have no combat effectiveness at all. ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately felt cold, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, pack your things, and go through the west gate!" ”

"Yes, sir"

---------

The scout said respectfully: "General, there is news from Mengjin that the lion battalion has broken through Mengjin, and now after leaving a large group of men and horses, they have rushed to Luoyang. ”

Liu Xia said in a deep voice: "Can there be news from Yiyang? ”

"Report!"

"Yiyang Battle Report!"

Liu Xia hurriedly said: "Say it quickly!" ”

The scout who hurriedly ran over said respectfully: "General Hui, Yiyang has been breached, and the wolf roaring camp is left behind with a large group of men, and the rest of the men and horses are rushing to Luoyang!" ”

"Good!" Liu Xia said: "Now there is only Yanshi left, and it is estimated that the battle report of Yanshi will come in a few hours, where are we now?" ”

"Tell the general, this place is called Qingniudu, the front is the Luo River, and the Luo River is not far from Luoyang City!"

Liu Xia said coldly: "Okay, cross the Luo River first, and then set up camp here after crossing the river!" Send scouts to order the lion battalion and the wolf howling battalion, and order them to assemble at Qingniudu as quickly as possible! ”

"Yes!"

"Da Da Da~" There was a sound of horses' hooves, and dozens of scouts galloped in all directions.

"Pass the order, send a large number of scouts, and keep an eye on Luoyang City at all times!"

"Yes"

Luoyang City Fu Wangfu

It is said that after Liu Zhong learned that Liu Xia's army broke through the Tiger Prison Pass, he had been terrified for the past few days, and he was afraid that one day he would come together in the morning, and Liu Xia's army had already attacked the city of Luoyang.

However, Liu Zhong looked at the city wall of Luoyang, and his frightened heart was relieved a little. The city of Luoyang is tall, and it is really difficult for Liu Xia's three or four thousand men and horses to attack it.

"My lord, the enemy army has been found in the east of Luoyang City!" One of the guards hurriedly ran over and said.

Liu Zhong was taken aback, could it be that Liu Xia's army was calling? So he panicked: "Enemy! But what about Liu Xia's army? How many people did they come? ”

The guard took a breath and said: "Back to my lord's words, the enemy army is Liu Xia's army, but there are not many people coming, according to the news from the scouts, there are only less than a thousand soldiers and horses coming. ”

"Less than a thousand?" Liu Zhong was a little stunned.

Could it be that Liu Xia only thought of using less than a thousand soldiers and horses to attack him Luoyang City? This Liu Xia looks down on people so much? Let's not mention that this Luoyang City is high, it is impossible to break through without tens of thousands of people, that is, he Liu Zhong has 3,000 soldiers and horses in this Luoyang City, although there is a gap compared with the combat effectiveness of Liu Xia's army, but it is still no problem to rely on the number of people to hold Luoyang City.

"Liu Xia deceives people too much! A thousand men and horses dare to attack Lao Tzu? I'm going to slaughter you all! ”

"Report!"

It was another guard who ran in in a panic.

Liu Zhong said coldly: "Say! ”

The guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully, "Lord Hui, Meng Jin has fallen." According to the news that came to the city, Mengjin City was occupied by enemy troops last night. ”

"Meng Jin has fallen?" Liu Zhong frowned, although Mengjin City is also a city, but he Liu Zhong didn't care about it, because Mengjin didn't have many people and not many big households, so Liu Zhong never stationed too many people in Mengjin City, and he didn't care about Mengjin City.

"Report!"

Liu Zhong suddenly became anxious, and it seemed that it was bad news again.

Sure enough, the guards who came to him said respectfully: "Tell your lordship, Yiyang has fallen!" ”

"Yiyang has also fallen! First the Tiger Prison Pass fell, then Gongxian fell, and now Mengjin and Yiyang have also fallen, so where is the next one? Liu Xia, which one of these things is this! Capture all the cities around Luoyang City, and then slowly besiege Luoyang? ”

"Report!"

At this time, Liu Zhong's most annoying word was 'newspaper', and it was only a while before he heard three or four newspapers, each newspaper was bad news, and Liu Zhong wanted to go crazy.

So Liu Zhong roared angrily: "Say, where did you fall this time!" ”

Liu Zhong's attitude made the guard who came to deliver the news tremble, and said tremblingly: "Lord Hui, yes, it was the Yanshi who sent the news, and the Yanshi fell. ”

"What! Yanshi has also fallen, aren't there many big families there? There must be a lot of family members they have gathered! How lost! Liu Zhong said in astonishment.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Hui, it is said that Yanshi City was opened by cannons, and the big families inside were arrested, and many of them were killed. ”

At this time, several of Liu Zhong's staff members came over, and Liu Zhong said in a deep voice: "Do you all know? ”

The staff members said respectfully: "I know it, so we all hurried over." ”

"Let's go, let's go into the house, and you guys go get the map." Liu Zhong said coldly.

When they arrived in the study, Liu Zhong and the three staff members walked to the side of the map that had already been placed.

The map is a fine map of Henan Province, and the place names on it are marked in great detail.

One of the staff members with beautiful hair said: "My lord, according to the news that came, now Yanshi City, Yiyang City, and Mengjin City have all been taken by Liu Xia's army, and now another army has been found not far from Luoyang City, which shows that Liu Xia is surrounded by troops in four ways to Luoyang." ”

"Soldiers in four ways?" Liu Zhong muttered.

"Yes, the soldiers are divided into four routes, all the way to Yanshi. All the way to Mengjin, and all the way to Yiyang, the last way to be the army found not far from Luoyang, a total of four armies. Now we don't know the specific number of Liu Xia's army, but it can be roughly determined that Liu Xia's army is definitely not more than 5,000, these 5,000 men and horses have no siege equipment, it is very difficult to break through this tall Luoyang City, as long as we don't get out of the city, it is not easy for him Liu Xia to enter Luoyang City. ”

Liu Zhong said happily: "Well said, if it weren't for Huarong's carelessness to lose the Tiger Prison Pass, this official would directly hold the Tiger Prison Pass and directly keep Liu Xia's army outside the Pass, where would Liu Xia appear on the territory of Henan Mansion, and let Liu Xia capture Mengjin, Yanshi, Yiyang and other places." ”

"The order went down, strictly guarded the city, and the gates of Luoyang were all closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Violators will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

Yanshi

Liu Dazhuang has completely occupied Yanshi City at this time, none of the big households in this Yanshi City have run away, all the food wealth of all the big households has been sealed, except for a few big households who were slaughtered because of resistance, most of the big households are honestly tied up, and now they and their families together have two or three hundred people, all of them are imprisoned in one place, if these big families did not resist before, Liu Dazhuang may have let them go after copying their family property, but they chose to resist, then they can't help it, In this battle, some of the recruits of the Tiger Ben Regiment died, and they had to bury the dead soldiers.

After Liu Dazhuang and Niu Wei finished sorting out the things in Yanshi City, they gathered the soldiers.

"The third brigade of the second battalion of the Tiger Ben Regiment stayed to defend the city and take care of those big households, and the rest of the men and horses went to Luoyang with General Ben, and the artillery brigade also followed!"

"Yes!"

On the 27th, there were three o'clock in the afternoon (five o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the afternoon, and now the three o'clock in the afternoon represents six o'clock in the afternoon), and the four armies had gathered under Luoyang City at this time.

More than 3,000 people from the Guards Regiment, the Tiger Regiment, the Wolf Howling Battalion, and the Lion Battalion were encamped ten miles east of Luoyang City, and more than half of the scouts of the two regiments and two battalions were active around Luoyang City, always checking the latest news of Luoyang City.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp, Liu Xia, Chen Liu, Wang Shishi, Liu Dazhuang, Niu Wei, Zhang Yuan, Ma Peng, etc. gathered here and began to discuss how to attack Luoyang.

These generals didn't know that there was Yu Mingjun in Luoyang City at this time, and Wang Xiaotong didn't know that at this time, Wang Xiaotong had just used artillery to defeat Yanshi City, and now he was still excited, so he stood up and said happily: "General, my subordinates are willing to lead the artillery brigade to bomb Luoyang City, and they will definitely complete the mission!" ”

Chen Liu fanned his fan and looked at the map not far away with a smile.

Liu Xia waved his hand and said, "You sit down first, now we don't need artillery for the time being." ”

Wang Xiaotong thought that with the victory of capturing Yanshi, Liu Xia would definitely use artillery to attack Luoyang, he was ready, so he was ready for Liu Xia to give an order, and then go to make meritorious service, but he didn't expect Liu Xia to disagree, which made Wang Xiaotong a little unwilling.

So Wang Xiaotong said: "General! General, the artillery will definitely complete the task successfully! ”

Liu Xia said: "General Ben knows the importance of artillery, the credit of your artillery team will not be missing to you, as for why you don't use artillery, General Ben also has his own reasons, General Ben knows that you want to make meritorious service to fight, this is a good thing, and General Ben also encourages it, but this time your artillery team will take a rest first." ”
