Chapter 602: The Siege of the World

Ruzhou was shocked, Yong'an County fell, it can be said that this series of things was completely unexpected, even Xiao Zhiyun doubted that if it was commanded by herself, could it be so perfect? Starting from Ruzhou, one ring after another, until Yong'an County was laid, people found that Wang Qing had unconsciously turned the entire west and south of Luoyang into his own territory, and Luoyang became a lonely city, as long as there was no external force, it was only a matter of time before Wang Qing took Luoyang. On the day of the fall of Yongan County, Zhao Yougong also came to Mianchi, at this time, Dongfang Jin, Xiao Zhiyun, Zheng Biao, Wu Liang, and Qian Lin were all there.

"Your Highness, it seems that this Wang Qing must have someone who wants to help, otherwise with Wang Qing's mind, it would be impossible to come up with this series of clever strategies! The subordinates have heard that Wang Qing cherishes his life very much, and some time ago I heard that he has the intention of going south to Xiangfan to avoid the imperial court, this idea turned so fast, eighty percent is something in Luoyang City that makes Wang Qing tempted. ”

The great official of the East was born in the Mojia Fang Valley, and his specialty is to figure out people's hearts, so Zhao Yougong still attaches great importance to his judgment. Luoyang, although it is the Great Song Dynasty Xijing, the ancient capital of the old times, but today's Luoyang is far less prosperous than the pre-Tang Dynasty, what is there in Luoyang that is worth Wang Qing's painstaking efforts?

"Mr. Dongfang, are you bothering to go to Luoyang, so as to convince Liu Guangshi?" Zhao Yougong glanced at Dongfang Jin badly, and looked at the big officials in his heart, go to Luoyang? It's not an easy task. Although there will be no danger in going to Luoyang at this time. Then Liu Guangshi is no longer obsessed with financial power. I didn't dare to do anything to him Dongfang Jin, but it was a little difficult to persuade Liu Guangshi to let go of the city gate and let the Dingguo army enter the city. Now in Liu Guangshi's eyes, the Dingguo Army is the same as the Huaixi thief soldiers, they are all like a flood of beasts, especially His Royal Highness Zhao, who does not forget to rectify the officialdom wherever he goes, and a copy of the king is the posture of the regent. Not only the officials are afraid, but even Liu Guangshi is also afraid, because Liu Guangshi clearly knows that once His Royal Highness Zhao rectifies Luoyang, the first unlucky person will be him, Liu.

Looking at His Royal Highness Zhao's smiling expression, Dongfang Jin shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "It's okay to go down, but Your Highness can compare what hopes, Liu Guangshi is very deceitful, and he won't let go!" ”

"Huh. Mr. Dongfang is modest, and Mr. has the talent of ghosts and gods. Forgive that Liu Guangshi can't stand your mouth" His Royal Highness Zhao spoke very humorously, Rao is a cheeky person like Dongfang Jin, and he is a little unbearable, His Royal Highness's words are too intriguing, he can't resist his mouth, the two big men talk back, it's cold to think about.

The next day, Dongfang Jin still rode to Luoyang, as for Zhao Yougong, he was not idle, the remnants of Hu Yanqing's troops had retreated to the bank of the Luoshui River, and Du Bai in Yiyang City was eyeing him, if no one helped, let alone retreating to Yongning County, it is estimated that he would not even be able to cross the Luohe River. Less than noon on November 27, Hu Yanqing finally retreated to 20 miles southeast of Luoshui. After a day and a night of rapid marching, the 3,000 remnants of the army were already tired and out of breath, and if Du Yan arrived at this time, the situation would be dangerous. Since the Huaixi soldiers experienced the defeat of Shangluo, they felt more and more that the cavalry was sharp, so Wang Qing looted the people's wealth and spent a lot of money to build more than 3,000 cavalry, and at this time there were 2,000 in Yiyang City.

Sometimes I was afraid of something, and just wanted to rest in place, I saw a cyan cloud floating under the warm sun in the south, it was a group of war horses, and immediately the knight wrapped a green scarf on his head, waving the steel knife in his hand, and made a noise. It's the thief's cavalry, Hu Yanqing's arms trembled, his face was miserable, thinking that he Hu Yanqing was born in a famous family, fought for decades, and when he was old, he was going to die in the hands of the thieves? Hu Yanqing was afraid of death, but he would not escape, and he had imagined how to die, but when he fought in the north and died under the battle array, he was really unwilling to die in the hands of thieves.

This time, the cavalry led the pursuit of Hu Yanqing was Wang Qing's righteous brother, Liu Heihu, a native of Shangdang Qinghe, this Liu Heihu had a steel knife and had few opponents, and he died since Yutai, Liu Heihu became the first fierce general under Du Bao. Liu Heihu's eyes were very sharp, and when the soldiers came, he saw Hu Yanqing standing in front of the battle at a glance, Hu Yanqing was really a good person, with long gray hair and an old face, several old generals of the Great Song Dynasty who led the troops to fight, except for the seed master, only Hu Yanqing remained.

In the face of the Huaixi cavalry, Hu Yanqing calmed himself down, ordered his headquarters to quickly assemble, and set up a square formation to fight to the death with the thief soldiers. Hu Yanqing has led the troops for decades, and the best way to deal with the cavalry is to concentrate his forces and face the hard regrets, of course, the probability of winning in this way is very low, but at least there is hope, if they scatter and escape, I am afraid that the cavalry will wake up with a smile in their dreams.

Liu Heihu was very excited because he could kill Hu Yanqing. For Xijing Luoyang, Hu Yanqing is a legend, he is not only a person, but also the spiritual pillar of the Liangjing Forbidden Army, he is supported by others, full of prestige, killing him, better than killing thousands of enemies. A great credit is in front of him, so Liu Heihu is careless. But it's no wonder that Liu Heihu, he himself was born poor, he has not received any formal education, how can he know what marching formation, whether it is cavalry combat or ground confrontation, just one word, rush.

Liu Heihu rushed quickly, like the wind and clouds, unstoppable, but, suddenly, the earth trembled even more, a silver light rushed from the north, like a sparkling tide, at the same time, Liu Heihu found that there was a shadow on the ground, and then the sound continued, and many Huaixi disciples fell from the war horse before they could figure out what was going on. It is the cavalry of the Dingguo Army, they are skilled in bows and horses, even if they are on the march, they can still scatter wantonly like the Khitans, under the rain of arrows, the offensive of the Huaixi soldiers is blocked, just in such a little time, a large number of cavalry of the Dingguo Army have rushed to the front, and a black-armored man beat his horse forward and arched his hand towards Huyanqing, "General Huyan, Qian is late, let you suffer." ”

How could it be too late for Hu Yanqing, now that he was alive and in sight, he laughed happily, "General Qian, you came at the right time, how can there be a late statement, just right, just haha, Your Highness is here?" ”

"His Royal Highness is in the pond, the old general can go by himself, and hand it over to Qian here!" Qian Lin pointed in the direction of the Luohe River, Hu Yanqing was not hypocritical, and he ordered to retreat in the direction of the Luohe River quickly, and it could not be said that Hu Yanqing was not righteous, and he really couldn't help if he stayed.

As soon as Hu Yanqing left, Qian Lin gave an order, and more than 2,000 light cavalry of the Dingguo Army scattered in small groups of soldiers and horses, and fought for a while, and within half an hour, Liu Heihu's troops were tossed enough. Although there were cavalry in Huaixi, they were not allowed to train them, and until now these so-called cavalry were limited to being able to swing and slash along their horses, and as for how to mount and shoot, how to cooperate, how to march, and how to form a formation, they did not know at all, let alone change their tactics anytime and anywhere like the Dingguo Army. They are all cavalry, but they are worlds apart, not infantry can become cavalry on horseback, cavalry pays attention to the coordination of military formations, advance and retreat in a certain degree, attack like a storm and lightning, retreat to be decisive. The cavalry of the Dingguo Army is brave and extraordinary, but everyone has seen their unstoppable side, but they have not seen the hardships they usually endure during training, especially this iron chain horse, which cavalry was not scratched several times when they began training, and even some people were trained because of different paces, but the war horses were facing forward or backward, and people also fell off the horses and were trampled to death by the war horses that came later. It can be said that every action and every cooperation of the cavalry of the Dingguo Army is mixed with blood and sweat on weekdays, but the Huaixi cavalry, where has they suffered this kind of suffering, so this battle on the bank of the Luoshui River is also fair.

In the end, Liu Heihu was defeated, he found that no matter how hard his brothers worked, they couldn't hurt the Dingguo Army, but their own people fell one by one, and they fled when they were defeated. Liu Heihu fled fast, but he couldn't resist the speed of the arrows, and was stabbed in the back by two wolf tooth arrows without checking, penetrating through his body, and with a muffled snort, he fell off his horse, and a cavalry of the Dingguo Army came from behind and cut off Liu Heihu's head with a knife.

In the battle on the banks of the Luoshui River, the cavalry that Wang Qing had built up with a huge amount of money went to two-thirds at once, but unfortunately, Wang Qing could only feel distressed, because he was still in a hurry to attack Luoyang. Although Yong'an and Yingyang are in their own hands, the Guanzhong Dingguo Army is still an unstable factor, and the person also said that he must rush to Luoyang before Zhao Yougong, if Zhao Yougong is allowed to enter Luoyang City, things will be in trouble.

On November 28, more than 60,000 soldiers and horses from Wang Qing, Du Bai, Shangguan Yi, and Fang Han besieged Luoyang, and the great officials of the East who came to Luoyang to try to persuade Liu Guangshi were also trapped in the city. Zhao Yougong is not worried about Dongfang Jin's safety, there are already people from the secret hall and the intelligence department in Luoyang City, and Dongfang Jin is not the commander of the light pole, what he is worried about now is how to repel Wang Qing, and he still has a large number of treasures hidden in Luoyang. Suddenly, his brows jumped, as if he thought of something, could it be that the reason why Wang Qing was so focused on Luoyang was also because of those treasures?

Back then, Wang Qing tossed Luoyang, and took the opportunity to rob the Luoyang treasury, and now all the wealth of those treasury is hidden under the Yang family compound, if Luoyang has something to attract Wang Qing, in addition to Luoyang is the ancient capital of the old times, and the status is lofty, I am afraid that only this batch of wealth is left, but how did Wang Qing know? Although he was not sure, Zhao Yougong did not dare to relax, in case Wang Qing really came for these wealth, then the situation would not be good.

His Royal Highness Zhao panicked, but not all bad news, in late November, Muzhou finally made progress, Niu Gao let people block the various intersections in the east of the Gangyuan Cave, and transferred troops to seal the west, after a long time, the grain and grass were exhausted, and many soldiers in the Fang La Department were hungry, and on November 23, finally more than a dozen thieves escaped from the Gangyuan Cave. Under the leadership of these thieves and traitors, the officers and soldiers found the entrance to Zitong Cave, although the terrain in the cave is complicated, but the thieves have been hungry for so long, most of them have no fighting spirit, and they were captured by the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop.
