Murong Zhong's words left the people around him speechless. Soon, two parts of the city were divided into two parts of soldiers and horses, one part of which was advancing along Luoshui to the west, preparing to attack the rear road of the Tang army from the south of Henan County, after crossing the river. The other part, after coming out of the south gate, rushed directly across the bridge to the Huangfu Zhen barracks to help them extinguish the fire.

In Luoyang City, there were originally 8,000 troops. When I went to rescue Henan County, I lost more than 1,000 people, and after transferring 5,000 people at this time, there were less than 2,000 people left to defend the city.

Luoyang City is dilapidated and unrepaired, and the area is very large, it is really not easy to completely defend it with this amount of troops.

Not long after the Yan army in the city left the city, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the west, and then, in the night, only a cavalry galloped from afar. It didn't take long for him to reach the city.

Murong Zhong was standing on top of the city, originally looking at the fire on the other side of the river, but when he suddenly saw this army, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When he looked down at the firelight, he was even more horrified in his heart, because it was Tang Jun who came.

However, what reassured him a little was that the number of this Tang army was not large, only more than a thousand people. However, there seemed to be something strange about what they were wearing, because apart from the extra neatness, it seemed that the armor on each of them shimmered with a cold light.

"Order all the troops to be on alert in case the enemy army attacks the city!" Seeing these people, Murong Zhong immediately shouted.

However, he seemed to be overthinking, because these people had only been under the city for a short time. The leader of the generals, after looking up at the city, rushed directly to the bridge to the south of the city.

Soon, this group of cavalry rushed through Luoshui and entered the rear camp of Huangfu Zhen.

Between the raging flames, these Tang soldiers passed through it, and the spears in their hands kept stabbing out, harvesting the lives of those Yan soldiers who were panicking beside them one by one.

Although after the Yan generals found out, they had already gathered their soldiers with all their strength to resist, but in the face of these Tang soldiers who only seemed to know how to kill, they were as fragile as a straw.

There was only the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the screams and cries of the Yan soldiers, and the three thousand soldiers and horses sent by Murong Zhongxin were driven all the way from the rear camp to the front camp by the thousand Tang army cavalry. There were countless corpses along the way, and no one could stop them.

Soon, all the soldiers and horses were gathered together. At this time, Huangfu Zhen already knew that there was a group of Tang Army cavalry rushing behind him. Under this situation, his situation suddenly became difficult.

There is a strong enemy in front and a chasing army in the rear, which seems to be the situation at this time. The army under his command was already falling apart at this time. Look at the people around you, there are fewer and fewer people who can wield knives and guns, and the rest of the people are either killed in battle, or they are already fleeing for their lives.

"General, you can't stop it, the enemy army is too powerful. Especially the Tang cavalry behind, it is like killing gods, and no one can stop it! Let's get out of here! The general who commanded the troops and horses in the barracks had just fled to him, and he hurriedly persuaded him at this time.

"Yes! Let's go to a safe place first, gather our troops and horses for another battle! It is best to be able to join the army of King Wu, so that you may be able to defeat the Tang army! The other generals also persuaded one after another.

At this time, the situation was already obvious, under such a sandwich attack by the two armies, facing the Tang army with cavalry assistance, it was impossible for him to win the battle at all!

"That's it, the army should immediately withdraw to Gushi County!" When Huang Fu really saw the surrounding scene, he knew that if he continued to fight, he would only increase casualties and give his life in vain. So, in the end, the order to retreat was given.

After receiving this order, everyone didn't care much, and hurriedly broke through to the north. It is easier for these generals to have their own soldiers to protect them, but for other soldiers, it is not so easy.

Therefore, as soon as they knew that they were going to retreat, many soldiers did not think about it, so they simply jumped directly into the river on both sides, and then desperately swam towards the opposite bank.

The battle lasted until dawn, the fire gradually went out, and the battlefield gradually returned to peace.

After Zhao Ji and Chen Kang explained the matter, they walked towards the north, and it didn't take long for them to meet the cavalry.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Deng! Otherwise, last night's battle really won! Zhao Ji said to the general.

The general took off his helmet, and it was Deng Qiang, after hearing this, he smiled and said: "Where does General Zhao say, we are all at the behest of His Highness~ things, why do you have to work hard!" Now that the real army of Huangfu has been defeated, it can be regarded as living up to His Royal Highness's explanation! ”

"Now that Huangfu Zhen's army has retreated, we should take advantage of the situation to forge ahead, if we can take the opportunity to take down the whole county of Henan, it would be great! I wonder what General Deng plans to do next? Chen Kang said.

Although he only has the rank of general, he is much worse than Zhao Ji and Deng Qiang. But because he won Li Xin's trust, and he was an old man from the Huashan Army, there was not so much hierarchy when everyone talked together

"When I came, His Royal Highness explained, and after I came out this time, I was asked to obey General Zhao's orders, and first solve the matter of Henan County before going back!" Deng Qiang said to the two.

"General Deng is higher than me, how can I order you! In short, the three of us just talk to each other! Originally, we felt that we did not have enough troops, and that we might have dragged on the war. Now with three thousand Dragoons to support, that's great! Zhao Ji hurriedly said.

Deng Qiang came this time with Li Xin's secret order. Moreover, what he brought with him was not an ordinary soldier and horse, but a well-trained Wyvern.

Of the 3,000 men, 1,200 went after the 2,000 Yan troops who had left the city. The remaining 1,800 people were led by Deng Qiang himself and attacked the emperor's real rear army.

The two pro-armies of the Flying Dragoon and the Unbroken Army have been trained for several years, although they are all selected by veterans~. But after all, he hasn't been on the battlefield for a few years, and the combat method of the Flying Dragon Rider has not yet been tested on the battlefield.

Therefore, this time Li Xin sent them out to test the effect first. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry, he was afraid that he would miss the real battle between Zhao Ji and Huangfu, I am afraid that he would not be able to send out an army.

After all, there are many siege battles in Henan County, and it is more suitable to send an army without breaking it.

"In that case, let's decide on our next move as soon as possible!" Deng Qiang knew that this was Zhao Ji's respect for himself, so he didn't say anything.

After discussing it together, the three of them immediately came up with a plan.

First of all, Huangfu Zhen and they have already fled, but this does not mean that they will give up the entire Henan County. After all, there are still a lot of places in their hands now, and Murong Chui's side may arrive at any time.

When the other party gathers another large army, it will not be so easy to destroy the other party. Especially if the other party can't hold out and wait for reinforcements, it will be even more detrimental to the Tang army.

Therefore, the three of them immediately decided that Deng Qiang and Chen Kang would lead all the cavalry and immediately march east to chase Huangfu Zhen and them. At the same time, some important passes along the line will be taken down as much as possible.

Especially the Dagu and Yuyuan Pass in the north of Yangcheng County, this is the key place to prevent Murong Chui's army from taking a shortcut to the north, and it is best to be able to take it first.

And Zhao Ji himself led the rest of the army to go north to take Luoyang and other places first. Then, if the two armies go well, they should meet at the Tiger Prison Pass in Chenggao County.

After the three of them had discussed it, they immediately divided their troops and set off.

Deng Qiang and the others marched quickly, and they disappeared after a short time. And Zhao Ji led the army to kill the city of Luoyang, ready to attack the city.

Murong Zhong in the city saw the defeat of Huangfu Zhen's army with his own eyes, and the two soldiers and horses he sent out had also been destroyed. Under the circumstances at this time, there were not many soldiers and horses in his hands, but even so, he was still tough, and he was determined to defend Luoyang City and wait for reinforcements.

Zhao Ji persuaded him to surrender once, and after seeing that the other party ignored him, he didn't bother to say anything more. He did not rush to attack, but first sent people back to Xin'an County, and fetched many siege equipment from there that had been prepared for a long time, and then began to attack Luoyang City in a big way.

In the past, Xin'an County, as the county seat closest to Henan County of the Tang Army, was considered a frontier place. Since Chen Kang was stationed here, although there was no war, it did not mean that he was idle every day.

In addition to the normal daily training, he stayed with the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry and made all kinds of military equipment.

And the reason why the Ministry of Industry will send craftsmen here is naturally because of Li Xin's request. After all, he has always been talking about these places in Henan County.

And if you want to attack these big cities in the Central Plains, it is impossible to transport equipment and equipment from Guanzhong!

In that case, not to mention the huge amount of manpower and material resources consumed, it is also very easy to put the enemy on guard in advance. Therefore, it is more appropriate to build it locally in Xin'an County. Not only the ordnance materials, but also the military rations were accumulated there.

Now, with the start of the Great War, these preparations have finally come in handy. In fact, not only Xin'an County, but as long as it is located in a key place and close to the battlefield, basically Li Xin has a certain plan in advance.

The Yan army, which had weak defensive forces, was under the fierce attack of Zhao Ji, and it lasted less than two days before it was lost, and Luoyang City fell into the hands of the Tang army.

Then, Zhao Ji immediately divided his troops and marched to Heyin County, preparing to capture it, and then rush to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet Deng Qiang and Chen Kang.
