A few days later, Cheng Zhijie went back to move the troops, and Mai Ji brought 20,000 horses and horses to a mountain col seven or eight miles outside the Tiger Prison Pass, waiting for news.

Wang Junkuo and Niu Jinda have rebelled against their generals these days, and nearly eighty percent of the generals and soldiers are willing to join Dahua and no longer be Wagang soldiers.

Because these soldiers are not the Wagang army in the past, they are all nearby farmers, strong men, because of wars, disasters, etc., there is not enough to eat at home, so they have come to join the army, their feelings for Wei and Wagang are not deep, and they do not know what kind of vassal state Li Mi wants to establish, and there are no laws and policies promulgated, so the people's sense of belonging is not strong.

Wang Junkuo let go of several generals who were unwilling to join, and some soldiers who didn't plan to be soldiers anymore, and they all left, leaving 25,000 soldiers and horses to take them out of the Tiger Prison.

After Cheng Zhijie learned the news, he came with 20,000 elite soldiers to change the guard, control the tiger prison, and take it down without blood.

Mai Jicai looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "The three of them were all fierce generals and heroes of Wagangjun, and now that they have joined Dahua and joined forces again, they will definitely be able to make meritorious achievements, and it will not be a problem to be crowned generals in the future!" ”

"I borrowed General Mai's auspicious words." When Wang Junkuo saw that this young Dahua general did not underestimate and despise them in the slightest, he immediately felt secretly happy in his heart, feeling that the quality of the Dahua general was higher than that of all the princes.

The three of them all understand that although Mai Jicai is only twenty-five or sixteen, he was born in a real general, and his father Mai Tiecane is a general of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he followed the Dahua Emperor Luo Cheng to fight in the south and the north when he was eighteen or nineteen, and he is considered a trusted general, so he did not dare to despise him, and he was polite to each other, and the conversation was just right.

"The marshal has an order before leaving, please ask the three generals to rush to Luoyang with soldiers and horses, where there may be a place to use, the tiger prison is here, and it will be handed over to the general to guard, lest you see the Wagang army coming to attack again, and you will be in a dilemma!"

"Well, we're not going to stay here." Wang Junkuo and Niu Jinda felt that Luoyang was in a fierce battle, and if they could go to Luoyang, they could directly enter the battle.

Next, Wang Junkuo, Niu Jinda, and Cheng Zhijie rushed to Luoyang with 25,000 troops.

……….

The battle of Luoyang is in full swing!

Outside the Upper East Gate of the East City, there was also a large army attacking the city, led by Pei Renji and his son!

In the city, Wang Ren led the troops to resist, the arrows rained down, the artillery fire was fierce, although the morale of the city head was suppressed, but when climbing the city wall, Zheng Jun showed his head and continued to use thunder stones to roll wood, and the hot oil was hot to resist stubbornly.

It became a battlefield of blood and fire, fighting and shaking the sky, the city was full of soldiers who charged into battle, and the city was constantly resisting defenders, no matter the head of the city, everywhere there were dead bodies lying in pools of blood and never able to get up again.

Except for Dongcheng, the entire Luoshui was dyed red, because the Dahua army continued to force crossing, and on the other side of Luoshui was the Zheng army's defense line, a high-walled fortress, condescendingly, shooting the Dahua soldiers who crossed the river.

Here, the young generals Xue Wancheng, Luo Shixin, and Bing Yuanzhen commanded the army to attack the opposite bank.

The corpses were floating, bamboo rafts and boats were scattered everywhere, and the scene was tragic.

The city is like an isolated island, under onslaught, looking down from the top of the mountain, thousands of soldiers, like a group of ants, Li Jing sighed a little, once upon a time, he was also a member of the ants, if he didn't get acquainted with Luo Cheng, he was exceptionally recommended and promoted, he would not have achieved the position of marshal.

In order to repay the favor, Li Jing was bound to take Luoyang, but he also saw the strength of the Luoyang fortress, relying on the current weapons and soldiers and horses, it would take a while to continue the fierce battle.

In order to alleviate the casualties, Li Jingdu only ordered to attack for half a day, rest the rest of the time, and rest for three days.

At this time, Cheng Zhijie, Wang Junkuo, Niu Jinda and others arrived and met Marshal Li Jing.

"This time, you can listen to General Cheng's persuasion, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and also dedicate the sincerity of the tiger prison, which is commendable, Dahua will not treat you badly, temporarily serve as a partial general in the army, and when you take Luoyang City, you will report it according to your merits and be rewarded!"

"Yes!" Wang Junkuo and Niu Jinda were happy when they heard the marshal's words speak politely and sincerely.

When Cheng Zhijie came, he saw the battle situation outside Dongcheng and said: "Marshal, Luoyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after Wang Shichong's repeated reinforcement and casting, it is now very difficult to overcome. ”

Li Jing said: "Yes, Luoyang North City, it is indeed difficult, however, our army is not in a hurry, we must conquer it immediately, because Wang Shichong in the city belongs to the turtle in the urn, there is no chance to turn over, at most it will perish in a year, now the most important thing is to see the reaction of other princes, use this as bait, besiege the city and send reinforcements!" ”

After listening to this, several people understood what the marshal meant, if Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei brought the army over, it would be just to block and weaken their strength.

"Marshal, do we have a mission now?"

"Give you ten days to reorganize the army according to Dahua's establishment, and then memorize military discipline and orders, and then half a month later, prepare to attack the city!"

"Yes!" The three of them clasped their fists and received the order.

Li Jing was a little happy that the Tiger Prison Pass was obtained by the soldiers without blood, so that the East Gate would be safe, Dou Jiande went south, and the Tiger Prison Pass was the most direct way, with the Tiger Prison in hand, he could block Dou Jiande's army, and wait for the Hebei Army to move, and His Majesty should drive the expedition in person.

This is the second plan formulated at the beginning, if you can't take Luoyang in one go, you will use this as a bait to lure the Hebei army south, and Dou Jiande will also be cleaned up.
