Chapter 526 Occupy Luoyang
At the beginning of October in the fourth year of Xingping, the autumn harvest ended, and Gao Shun sent Zhou Kai to Xiangyang City to contact the imperial court to pay taxes; This is a senior civil official in the system, and he has followed the trial and assignment many times, and is extremely familiar with Luoyang.
Gao Shun disguised himself as the envoy's bodyguard, and followed the other nine-life cavalry south; Before leaving, Gao Shun ordered Li Qiang to come out in five days, and at the same time left a letter to Feng Yong, the Taishou of Hanoi, ordering the messenger to send it to Hanoi in ten days.
Gao Shun and his entourage passed through Hanoi County, and did not alarm Taishou, but quickly passed the ferry south to Luoyang.
Due to the official duties of the General's Mansion, Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers had seen Zhou Kai many times, and there were only ten guards, and the officers and soldiers who defended the ferry and Luoyang City had no dissent, and the road was unimpeded; In mid-October, Zhou Kai and the others successfully lived in the Zuixian Pavilion in Luoyang City, which was still the contact point of Gaoshun's forces.
Looking at the tall city walls of Luoyang City, Gao Shun felt that in order to prevent Luoyang from being burned to ruins, it was worth losing trust to Dong Zhuo and the world.
As a result of the agreement with Dong Zhuo, the Gaoshun forces sent 500 civil and military officials and craftsmen to take care of the palace and the collection of books in Dongguan; These people are all system personnel, and their food and drink are provided by the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Su Shuang, the former person in charge of the Zuixian Pavilion, has withdrawn to Jizhou, and now the people in the Zuixian Pavilion are all system personnel.
All of this provided convenience for Gao Shun's sneak attack on Luoyang.
After arranging accommodation, Gao Shun asked the intelligence officers to be invited first.
These system people all know Gao Shun and are absolutely loyal to Gao Shun, saving the trouble of explanation.
When he came, Li Qiang had introduced to Gao Shun in detail the garrison in Luoyang City and Luoyang Baguan, Gao Shun was not at ease, and called the intelligence personnel to come and verify it carefully.
"Meet the Lord!"
"Sit down, let's talk about the defense of Luoyang City first!" Gao Shun asked straight to the point.
"Yes, my lord! There are only officers and soldiers in Luoyang City, each gate has three tuns, and they are on duty in turn, and they are mainly responsible for guarding the city gate to avoid being attacked by the lord. ”
Gao Shun asked again: "What about the palace and the east view?" ”
"Back to the lord, there is a division of officers and soldiers who keep an eye on our people during the day, and after work at night, the craftsmen and others withdraw to the Zuixian Pavilion to live, and they only arrange a tun of officers and soldiers to monitor us opposite the Zuixian Pavilion."
......
Gao Shun has a full understanding of the Luoyang city defense and the garrisons of the surrounding eight passes, Henan Yin and Hongnong County are no longer inhabited, all the defensive points are Luoyang City and the southern passes, Hangu Pass, Tiger Prison Pass and other passes are not strictly defended.
Gao Shun said secretly, Dong Zhuo is still too careless, how can he defend such a big Luoyang City with such a small number of people?
What Gao Shun didn't know was that the goal of the 2,500 cavalry in Luoyang City was not to defend Luoyang, Dong Zhuo confessed that if Gao Shun's forces attacked, they only needed to burn Luoyang by fire and retreat south.
In fact, Dong Zhuo was even more vicious, feeling that if he took Gao Shun's seven inches, Gao Shun would definitely throw a mouse trap, and he would not dare to attack Luoyang City, otherwise Gao Shun would not only not get Luoyang City, but also lose a million stone grain in vain*** Gao Shun would never do such a stupid thing.
What Dong Zhuo didn't know was that Gao Shun had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with him, and he could directly enter Luoyang City and attack from the inside.
The difference between the actual situation and Li Qiang's report is not big, but it is more detailed, Gao Shun has already planned, in order not to leak the news that Gao Shun's forces are attacking from within, none of these people can be let go.
In order to be foolproof, Gao Shun prepared to use 1,200 trapping camps, 2,500 high-level cavalry, 6,000 junior cavalry, 2,500 high-level infantry and 3,000 junior infantry, totaling more than 12,000 horses.
In order to reduce resistance, Gao Shun ordered Feng Kai to feast the officers stationed in Luoyang City in the name of the envoy, first kill them all, and send a large amount of wine and meat to the army to reduce their defensive psychology.
Everything was carried out according to Gao Shun's arrangement, those officers were not suspicious, the military marquis and the above officers all came to the banquet, and the officers and soldiers in the barracks also drank heartily.
By the time the banquet was about to end, it was already the second watch.
The moon hangs high, illuminating the land, just right for night action.
Gao Shun first released the officers and soldiers of the Situn Trap camp and beheaded several drunken officers, and then, under the leadership of Jun Sima, they went straight to Dong Zhuobing, who was monitoring the Drunken Immortal Pavilion on the opposite side; That group of soldiers had already drunk a little high, and they rushed to meet the battle, which was the opponent who was trapped in the camp? And they were not outnumbered, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they were cleared.
During this period, Gao Shun first released 2,500 senior cavalry and 3,000 junior cavalry, under the leadership of eight senior generals, and went to various city gates and garrison points.
Subsequently, Gao Shun released 800 officers and soldiers from the camp, and with the cooperation of the primary infantry, they guarded the South Palace and the North Palace.
In the end, 2,500 high-ranking cavalry were released to support the battle between the city gate and the barracks, and after the city gate was taken, the infantry took over the city gate, and the cavalry went to support other places.
Recently, the east gate was taken first.
Gao Shun went out of the city, released 3,000 junior cavalry, and under the leadership of six middle-level military attachés, patrolled the surroundings of Luoyang to avoid anyone slipping through the net.
There were huge horses' hooves and shouts everywhere inside and outside the city, which shocked Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers even more, they didn't know how many enemies had come and how many enemies had entered the city.
The officers were killed, and most of the officers and men had been drunk, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack.
And the officers and soldiers that Gao Shun suddenly sent from the city caught Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers off guard, even if there were sober people who wanted to set fire to Luoyang City, it was too late, and they were all surrounded separately.
Under the panic, Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers were unable to resist and were all executed.
The battle had ended in less than an hour, and Gao Shun was excited, and he felt that this was the most fulfilling thing he had ever done in this world.
Dong Zhuo's officers and soldiers all did a lot of evil, and they all deserved to kill them, at this time, Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Xiangyang City, did not know that Luoyang City had been occupied by Gao Shun.
Gao Shun was still not at ease, and used the system map function to search for Luoyang City, but there were really fish that slipped through the net, so Gao Shun led people to arrest them one by one.
Now Gaoshun's system map can show the situation within a radius of sixteen kilometers, and Luoyang City is within the display range, and no enemy can hide.
Subsequently, Gao Shun strictly guarded the gate of Luoyang City, and he personally led a piece of high-strength cavalry to patrol around Luoyang City for a week, and there were no red dots, so he returned with confidence.
Two thousand five hundred junior infantry patrolling outside also entered the city to repair.
Gao Shun was overjoyed, so easily took Luoyang City, kept the palace, and kept the valuable information in Dongguan; It's really a help from heaven, if there is no powerful function of the system, it will be too difficult to completely occupy Luoyang.
It felt very exciting at first, but the process was very simple, fortunately Li Qiang was not allowed to follow, otherwise he would be disappointed.
Gao Shun ordered all the tribes to kill the sheep and eat, rest well, and have more important tasks to do tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Gao Shun sent 1,000 senior cavalry and 3,000 junior cavalry, led by a senior general, to the Tiger Prison Pass to flank the defenders of the Tiger Pass with Li Qiang's army; He also sent the same number of officers and soldiers to Hangu Pass to try to persuade him to surrender first, but if he did not comply, he could stabilize the enemy and wait for reinforcements.
He also sent a senior cavalry of a division and an officer and an officer of the trapped camp to Mengjin and Xiaopingjin in the north to eliminate the few local defenders and welcome the army led by Feng Yong, the Taishou of Hanoi.
