Two armies of troops and horses in the eastern capital of Luoyang went out of Beijing to quell the chaos, one entered Hanoi to reinforce Linqing Pass, and the other entered Xingyang to reinforce Hujiao Pass.

Xingyang, Tiger Prison Pass.

The east gate of Luoyang was guarded by Pei Renji, the ambassador of Henan, and Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of Xingyang, the ambassador of Henan.

Cheng Pei Hongce of Henan County led 8,000 soldiers and horses from the eastern capital to help.

"Where's Yang Cheng?"

As soon as Pei Hongce entered the Tiger Prison, he immediately asked.

"A few days ago, the Yang thief could not break through the Linqing Pass, so he turned around and returned to Ji County, crossed the Yellow River in the south and entered Dong County, and now he is coming to the Tiger Prison Pass."

Pei Hongce was not very happy when he heard it.

"Both of them are also famous generals in a hundred battles, and they are both known as tigers, why are they sitting here and watching the Yang thieves wreaking havoc, why don't they lead their troops to suppress them?"

Pei Renji explained, "Yang rebelled against the army and went straight to the eastern capital, so after consulting with Ambassador Zhang, I thought that we could wait here and wait for him to send him to the door." We also took the opportunity to seize the time and recruit soldiers and horses from various counties to gather in Xingyang, and fight a decisive battle with Yang Rebellion, and destroy him in one battle. ”

This was originally a very stable decision, but Pei Hongce, who came from Luoyang, mocked the two for being timid.

Although he is only a county prince, after all, he came on the orders of Yang Tong and Fan Zigai, the kings of Yue who stayed behind in Luoyang, and he is the chief general of the reinforcements in the eastern capital.

"Since the two of you don't dare to fight, then you will guard the Tiger Prison Pass for a certain person, and wait for a certain person to go out of the pass tomorrow to Dongjun to exterminate Yang Rebellion, this thief!"

Zhang Xutuo was belittled by Pei Hongce, but he remained calm.

"General Pei must not underestimate the enemy, Yang Shun's morale is strong, you must be careful."

But Pei Hongce listened to it, he thought that since Yang Xuangan couldn't beat him before Linqingguan, it was not his opponent, after all, Linqingguan's troops were weaker.

After Pei Hongce swaggered out, Pei Renji smiled and said to Zhang Xutuo, "I've never seen such an arrogant person." ”

"After all, Wenchen commands the army, and sometimes he can understand it." Zhang Xutuo sighed, he and Pei Renji were both born in martial arts and started with military merits, and there is still a difference between him and a civilian official like Pei Hongce.

"Then leave him alone?"

"Let him try Yang Xuan's sense of reality or not, our task is still to guard the Tiger Prison, after all, things are in a hurry, and we don't have many soldiers at hand for a while."

If it was an ordinary bandit, Zhang Xutuo would definitely send troops to encircle and suppress him, but after all, the other party was Yang Xuangan, and what Zhang Xutuo was most worried about was not how many people Yang Xuangan had, but how many people would respond to him.

Once Xingyang is lost, this Luoyang will be in danger, no matter what, he Zhang Xutuo can't let Yang Xuangan kill Luoyang City.

To be on the safe side, we can only wait here for the first time.

Early the next morning.

Pei Hongce really led his own 8,000 Dongdu soldiers out of the pass and went to Dongjun.

As soon as the 8,000 Eastern Capital soldiers arrived at the edge of the canal, they met Yang Xuangan's vanguard.

Yang Xuangan's younger brother Yang Xuanting personally led two thousand light horsemen as the forward, although there were only two thousand horsemen, but this was an elite. Not the rabble that was gathered in a hurry.

The two armies met on the edge of Xingze County on the edge of the canal.

The two armies met unexpectedly.

On one side is the eastern capital Luoyang army of 8,000 people, 3,000 elite cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers, well-equipped, and there are many children of the nobles of the eastern capital with the army, while Yang Xuanting on the other side is only 2,000 people.

Their equipment seems to be a bit varied, because these two thousand people come from several systems such as government soldiers, bandits, and county soldiers, so their equipment is not the same.

In this way, the difference between the two armies is very obvious.

Before the station opened, the Eastern Capital soldiers were already mocking Yang Xuanting's tatters.

Even many officers are familiar with Yang Xuanting, after all, they used to be the children of top nobles, and they openly ridiculed Yang Xuanting.

But Yang Xuanting let them ridicule him, but he didn't respond.

"Ready!"

Yang Xuanting shouted coldly and took the lead in waving his horse lance.

There is no trick at all, and meeting is tough.

Yang Xuanting rode his horse in front, riding a thousand.

The 2,000 seemingly chaotic rebel cavalry also followed.

The two armies faced each other and fought hard.

Less than half an hour into the battle, the unthinkable happened.

The 8,000 Luoyang soldiers were outnumbered and gradually collapsed.

First the infantry was defeated, then the cavalry followed and became chaotic, and finally it became a pot of porridge.

These 8,000 Luoyang soldiers, although they are led by Pei Hongce, most of the officers below are the sons and daughters of those nobles, and they are all awesome and roaring, and when they start a war, they don't listen to orders at all, they just fight themselves.

As a result, 8,000 people had no command, let alone tacit understanding, but Yang Xuanting's 2,000 people obeyed his command.

Pei Hongce was defeated.

Retreat into the county seat of Yingze.

After sitting down and drinking a few cups of tea, he finally quenched his thirst, and Pei Hongce was very unwilling to fail.

After summing up the experience of failure, he thought that it was the bad things of those Xun Qi's children, and then summoned these people to scold them bitterly, and then ordered to reorganize and go out of the city to fight again.

This time he ordered, without his order, no one should mess around, he wanted to defeat Yang Xuanting in a dignified manner.

Pei Hongce led the defeated army, which was still a little flustered, out of the city again, and assembled outside the city.

At this time, Yang Xuanting had already led the army.

It's just that after seeing Pei Hongce's military formation, Yang Xuanting didn't attack immediately this time, but instead ordered to sit down and rest.

Nearly two thousand light horsemen dismounted and sat down on the ground.

"What?"

Pei Hongce couldn't understand it, and neither did those officers.

Just suffered a defeat, Pei Hongce didn't dare to take it big, and he didn't dare to attack if he couldn't understand it.

So, Yang Xuanting led the army to dismount and sit on the ground to rest.

And Pei Hongce, with thousands of men and horses, stood in a neat military formation and watched from a distance.

I watched this for most of the day.

After a long time, even Pei Hongce was a little impatient.

"It seems that these thieves are really tired."

"Why don't we kill it?" A Xun Qi disciple asked.

Pei Hongce frowned, feeling that he didn't have much confidence to take the initiative to attack, "Forget it, let's set up a formation with our backs to the city and wait for them to attack." ”

But after waiting for half a day, the rebels still did not attack, and still sat there to rest.

Now the Eastern Capital soldiers are not happy, his mother's rebels are sitting there quite comfortable, although it is early summer, but the army formation on the big day is still wearing armor and holding weapons for a long time, and the mouth is also dry.

Gradually, many Eastern Capital soldiers also relaxed their vigilance, and some even began to take off their iron helmets and armor.

In the end, even Pei Hongce himself untied his armor and wanted to breathe.

Yang Xuanting over there had been observing the Dongdu soldiers here, and seeing that they had been facing each other for nearly two hours, the Dongdu soldiers had completely relaxed, and he smiled.

Although they have been dismounting and resting, they have not removed their armor, nor have their spears in their hands, nor have they left their horses.

"Get on the horse, kill!"

Yang Xuanting shouted, suddenly jumped on the war horse, and then took the lead and led the troops to kill the official army.

The rebel light cavalry, which had rested enough, rushed into the panicked Dongdu soldiers like wolves and tigers, and a side-down massacre began.

After two battles, only Pei Hongce fled to Xingyang Tiger Prison Pass with hundreds of horses, and more soldiers even failed to escape into Xingze City behind him, because the officials in Xingze City saw the defeat of the officers and soldiers, and did not open the city gate to let them in, so many Dongdu soldiers had to turn around and surrender to Yang Xuanting.

Under the gaze of the officials and people of Xingze City, Yang Xuanting calmly disarmed thousands of Dongdu soldiers, who first put themselves in sophisticated equipment, and finally incorporated these defeated soldiers under his command.
