On the high platform in the center of the Qingzhou Army's position, General Guan Hai finally waved the command flag in his hand, and the big flags on both sides of the high platform also danced.

The 2,000 cavalry, who had hastily arrived on the east and west sides of the city, under the leadership of their respective lieutenants, quickly crossed the temporary wooden bridge over the trench, and rushed murderously towards the north gate where the remnants of the White Polish Army had rushed in.

"General, the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Brigade rushed into the city gate, we won! Most of Li Le's 3,000 elite cavalry were killed and wounded, and the enemy in the city was either old and weak, or the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who were scattered, and they absolutely could not stop the two battalions of cavalry and thousands of foot soldiers of our army, and there was no change in this battle! ”

The young people around Guan Hai were excited to join the army.

Guan Hai nodded silently, looked at the battlefield in front of him with the sound of smoke and dust, and sighed with feeling: "If it weren't for the fact that the Lord and the Lord were not able to override the public opinion, make bold changes according to the situation of the enemy and us, and plan to lure the enemy, I am afraid that there would be no victory in front of me with almost no casualties......

"I never imagined that this victory would come so easily."

The young soldier laughed and said: "The White Polish Army does not understand the power of our army's new equipment and the way of coordinated operations, and thinks that it can break through the formation with the high-speed impact of 3,000 cavalry as before. ”

Guan Hai showed a proud smile: "Not only the Baibo Army, but also the surrounding princes probably don't know the details of our army. ”

"Okay, the order goes down, and orders the eight battalions on standby outside the gates of the east and west cities to abandon their positions and set off immediately, and follow me to the ferry port to the north. Temporary reserve. Plus, you go for yourself. Let's see if Li Le and Hu Jie are alive, and if they are alive, they will be brought into the city to settle down! ”

"If you die...... Just take care of them for me, and then deal with them after this battle, it's been six years since I parted, how can I say that it's also an old man! ”

"Understood, my subordinates will do it!"

The young soldier saluted and strode down the platform.

######

The ferry port in the north of the city is already full of troops at this moment. At swords' points.

The Qingzhou Army took the initiative to abandon the three-mile-long arc blocking position above the wharf, shrink the formation, and regroup in the second fortification built two miles to the south.

Han Xian's more than 30,000 reinforcements were able to land quickly, and the 3,000 elite cavalry who were the first to disembark continued to gallop between the enemy and us, probing the arrangement of the Qingzhou army, and passing on all kinds of news. Prepare for battle.

Han Xian's banner has been moved from the building ship to the front of the tent temporarily erected in the center of the pier, at this moment. Han Xian is discussing nervously with his generals based on the information that has been constantly fed back.

Until this moment, Han Xian and his generals did not know that the Qingzhou army had broken the city, and the Li Le unit they came to rescue had been annihilated, the main general Li Le died in the chaos, and the deputy general Hu Jie, who fled back to the city with several arrows, had been captured by the Qingzhou army.

"There's no news from Li Le's side yet?"

On the main seat, Han Xian looked around at the more than ten sweating generals on the left and right, and asked loudly angrily.

The generals shook their heads helplessly, and the deputy marshal Hu Cai stood up: "The Qingzhou cavalry blocked the various intersections leading to Shaanxi County on the east and west sides, and our army's scout team and two teams of elite cavalry launched three attacks, and more than 160 people were killed and wounded in the end. ”

"If you want to avoid the enemy's resistance and send scouts to bypass from upstream or downstream, you need to cross the thorny mountains, and go back for at least four hours, and you won't have time to do it!"

"Judging from the many movements of the Qingzhou Army, the subordinates judged that the Qingzhou Army may be caused by insufficient troops."

When the generals heard this, their spirits were greatly lifted, and Han Xiao, the captain of the cavalry, asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the previous judgment was wrong, and the Qingzhou army we are facing does not have 60,000 people?" ”

Hu Cai nodded slightly: "As we all know, the total number of Qingzhou troops occupying Luoyang does not exceed 70,000 at most, and it is impossible for these 70,000 foot cavalry to come to the nest, they have to leave troops to guard Luoyang, which is a big construction, and guard the Tiger Prison Pass in the east and Taigu Pass in the south......"

"In order to prevent Yuan Shao's sneak attack, we have to station troops in Pingjindu, north of Luoyang, so even if the Qingzhou army we face this time is as many as 60,000, it will not all be full pawns, at least 30,000 auxiliaries will make up the number!"

"At present, there are about 30,000 infantry cavalry troops of the Qingzhou Army assembled in front of our army, of which more than 10,000 people we have seen, are completely auxiliary soldiers or farmers who dig trenches in an attempt to block the attack of our army, although Liu Cun and Liu Zijian's handsome banner appears on the high post behind his formation, but I am convinced that the Qingzhou Army will definitely not be able to break through the Shaanxi city guarded by General Li Le within three or five days!"

"In this way, they have to send at least 20,000 troops to block the city gates on all sides, so as to prevent General Li Le from leading thousands of elites under his command to fight out and join forces with the main force of our army."

All the generals agreed with Hu Cai's analysis, and Han Xian pondered for a moment and nodded again and again: "Now it seems that the reason why the Qingzhou Army is blocking the passage between us and Li Le is probably to have a decisive battle with us, and then turn around and attack Shaancheng......"

"Humph! Liu Zijian seems to be very confident...... Send the order down, get ready within half an hour, and in addition, collect firewood and grass as soon as possible to light the fire and wolf smoke, I want to let Li Le and the 5,000 brothers in Shaanxi City know clearly that our 40,000-strong army is about to fight to the death with the Qingzhou army! ”

"Yes!"

The generals hugged their fists and saluted, and went their separate ways.

Hu Cai pondered for a while, and leaned slightly towards Han Xian: "Dashuai, what does Yang Feng say over there?" ”

Han Xian laughed: "That guy accepted our gift, and then led two thousand cavalry back to Hangu Pass, leaving only the cavalry captain Xu Huang to lead two thousand foot soldiers to guard the Heyang Ferry, taking care of the more than 100 large and small ships looted from everywhere, and putting on a posture of not helping each other." ”

"It can be seen that Yang Feng not only does not dare to offend us, but also does not dare to offend Liu Zijian, the general of the cavalry, he just wants to make a profit at both ends of the first mouse, haha!"

Hu Cai sighed reassuringly: "That's enough...... Next, it's up to us, as long as we can break through the resistance of the Qingzhou army and kill the city to join Li Lebu, we will win this battle. ”

Han Xian nodded and stood up suddenly: "You must win!" Even if it is worth paying the price of more than half of the dead and wounded, there is no other thing in this world, and people have not? ”

"When we go back after the battle, we can recruit another 50,000 people, even if this battle is only a tie with the Qingzhou Army, which is the champion of the world, I dare to say that it will shake the world, I want to use this battle to achieve the prestige of my Baibo Army!"

Hu Cai followed Han Xian, who was full of confidence, strode out of the camp, where did he think that the tens of thousands of elite cavalry of the Qingzhou army were constantly rushing through the south of Shaanxi County, and under the leadership of the generals Xu Sheng, Luoyang Linggongsun Fang and other civil and military forces, they rushed to Heyangdu in the west non-stop.

And Yang Feng, who reassured Han Xian, left Hangu Pass again and returned to Heyangdu, ten miles to the east, to join Gongsun Fang, who had been secretly in contact for a long time. (To be continued......)
