Chapter 591: Siege of Luoyang City

It was not the Zuo Tiance Army that led to the Xuanwu Army in conjunction with the Shenji Battalion, but Li Cunxiao's Zuo Shenwei Army, and it was the Zuo Shenwei Army that naturally appeared on the battlefield.

Li Cunxiao was very surprised to see the Xuanwu Army that had been beaten by the Shenji Battalion and fled, he thought it would be good for the Shenji Battalion to hold on, but he didn't expect that not only did it hold on, but on the contrary, it relied on its own strength to defeat the 30,000 Xuanwu army.

Even if Li Cunxiao is more arrogant, he does not dare to guarantee that the Xuanwu Army will be defeated in such a short period of time.

Surprise is surprise, but Li Cunxiao didn't forget the fleeing Xuanwu army, "Pass the order, pursue the whole line, no matter what the result is, assemble here in half an hour!" ”

"Yes!"

For Ding Hui, Li Cunxiao has a better understanding, this is a general, if he doesn't take advantage of this time to kill him, and wait for the other party to escape back to Luoyang City, it will be difficult to fight.

Although the walls of Luoyang City were not very strong under the attack of Tiance Cannon, Shenji Cannon, Shence General Cannon, etc., if Ding Hui commanded the army to fight fiercely with the imperial army in the city, even if the imperial army could defeat the Xuanwu army, it would suffer heavy casualties.

That kind of melee combat with a small space is a bit of a disadvantage for the forbidden army with strong field combat capabilities.

On the other hand, if they can defeat, or even kill or capture Xuanwu generals such as Ding Hui outside the city, the Heyang army in Luoyang City will not pose much threat to the forbidden army, that is, there is nothing to fear.

Seeing the cavalry of the Zuo Shenwei Army coming, the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion also began to go out, hunting the defeated Xuanwu Army everywhere. If it hadn't been for Fu Cunxian's order to stop it, perhaps the musketeers would have run out.

These musketeers are the treasures of Fu Cunju, they are simply melee killing gods, and if there is damage in such a battle situation where the victory is decided, he will have to die of distress.

The Xuanwu Army is not without cavalry, but the Xuanwu cavalry is not comparable to the cavalry of the forbidden army, and the geographical location of Xuanwu determines that the Xuanwu cavalry will not be strong.

The imperial court will not let good war horses flow to Xuanwu, Xuanwu's war horses can only be purchased through the feudal towns in Heshuo and other places, although the quantity is large, but the quality is uneven, and there will be a lot of impact on the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Maybe the cavalry can still run away with their speed, but the Xuanwu infantry army is really 'no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground', and behind them is a forbidden army with a horizontal sword or a long lance.

Under the green plains, there is bright red blood, and a touch of blood is splashed on the green grass, and the red is extraordinarily bright.

With corpses and blood everywhere, the vegetation here may be particularly lush in the coming year, but now it seems that it is no different from hell, except that this hell is on earth. Recommended reading tv//

Ding Hui, who had fled not far from the moat of Luoyang City, saw the hell on earth behind him, and his eyes suddenly turned black, and the whole population vomited blood. Unexpectedly, he calculated everything, but he still fell into the plan of the imperial court, and in this battle, the 30,000 Xuanwu army was almost wiped out.

The loss of 30,000 troops may not be a big deal in peacetime, but at this time, it is very deadly.

In the entire Henan Mansion, there are 40,000 Xuanwu troops.

As for the main forces of the Xuanwu Army, in Yunzhou and Yanzhou, it is possible to add Yili now. Because Pang Shigu was ordered that he would lead an army of 100,000 to defend the Yellow River defense line, stop the northern imperial army on the north bank of the Yellow River and defeat the northern imperial army.

The destruction of his 30,000 army means that there are only 10,000 Xuanwu troops in Luoyang City.

Whether these 10,000 troops alone can deter Zhang Yan's Heyang army is still one thing, if Zhang Yan turns to the imperial court at this time, it will be very passive for Xuanwu.

At that time, the imperial army will reach the city of Zhengzhou.

So even if Ding will flee back to Bianzhou at this time, whether Zhu Wen can forgive him is one thing.

Zhu Zhen followed Zhu Wen for a long time, and in the end, she was not forced by Zhu Wen to go out of Xuanwu. Mobile One second to remember 『→m.\b\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful \ novels to read.

This means that he not only failed the trust of King Liang, but also possibly was executed by King Liang, thinking of the possible ending, Ding Hui couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.

I endured it for so long, why didn't I endure it in the end.

He didn't expect that the imperial court had that kind of weapon that could spew sparks and smoke and fire small round bullets, so powerful, it was simply the nemesis of the dense infantry phalanx.

Knowing this, he should have charged with cavalry in the first place.

No matter how strong the opponent's weapons are, they are not numerous, and if they charge with dense cavalry, they may be able to break through.

But when he thought that the Divine Machine Camp in front of him was already a trapped beast, he was careless.

I didn't expect this carelessness to bring such heavy consequences!

"General, are you alright?"

"General, let's enter the city quickly, the enemy army is about to be killed, and we will be safe when we enter the city!"

Is it safe to enter the city?

Ding Hui didn't think that this seemingly peaceful Luoyang City might be the most dangerous place, but he had to enter the city at this time, because there were still 10,000 Xuanwu troops in the city.

Seeing the court cavalry chasing after him, Ding Hui still shook his head, turned his horse's head, and ordered, "Enter the city!" ”

With Ding Hui's order, the soldiers defending the city immediately lowered the drawbridge, and after Ding Hui and hundreds of his own soldiers entered the city, they raised the drawbridge and closed the city gate.

As for the Xuanwu army outside the city that had not yet entered the city, it meant that it was abandoned.

On one side is a wide moat, and on the other side is the already red-eyed imperial army. Some Xuanwu soldiers chose to jump into the moat and swim towards the city wall; Some took up arms and fought back under the leadership of some unwilling young generals; More often than not, lay down arms and surrender.

After the first battle, the 30,000 Xuanwu army, except for the hundreds of personal soldiers led by Ding Hui fled into Luoyang City, and the remaining army, with 17,000 people killed, the remaining more than 10,000 people gave up their weapons and surrendered.

Including Liu Zhijun, a former subordinate of Shi Pu, fainted because he fell off his horse, and when he woke up, he was already in the prisoner of war camp of the Shenji Battalion.

Although the final pursuit was mainly completed by the Zuo Shenwei Army, when the soldiers of the Zuo Shenwei Army came to the battlefield where the Shenji Battalion first fought with the Xuanwu Army, they couldn't help but vomit when they saw the corpses, stumps and broken arms and the remains of human and horse flesh and organs everywhere.

Many of Zuo Shenwei's troops were Shatuo people who followed Li Cunxiao to defect to the imperial court, even these Shatuo people who had been through a hundred battles, not to mention other Han soldiers.

At first, Li Cunxiao didn't believe that the musket of the Shenji Battalion was so powerful, but when Fu Cunxiao let people test it in front of him, he saw that the heavy armor had been deeply dented, and Li Cunxiao also shut up.

With such thick armor, wouldn't it be even more irresistible for those soldiers in ordinary armor or even leather armor.

No wonder the Shenji Battalion can rely on its own strength to regret the 30,000 Xuanwu Army, but the confidence that I didn't expect was this thing called a musket.

Although the corpses and remains everywhere made the soldiers of the Zuo Shenwei Army a little unbearable, in order not to cause the plague, they still dug a lot of big pits and buried these soldiers who died in battle.

As for Luoyang City, Zheng Congyan did not order Li Hong to take the opportunity to attack, this is the eastern capital, and it will cost a lot of money and grain to rebuild it.

Therefore, Zheng Congyan ordered the left and right Tiance army, Zuo Shenwei army, and Shenji battalion to be stationed outside Luoyang, and then sent people to persuade Zhang Yan to surrender.
