In the second year of Chengtian, August 20th.
Yang Xuangan, who had an army of nearly 150,000, forced Luoyang on the third day.
Wu Fan, who also led an army of about 35,000, was on the third day of guarding Luoyang.
The actions of the two sides of the confrontation are incomprehensible.
First of all.
Yang Xuangan, who has an absolute advantage in strength, as the attacking party, seems too honest, except for taking Wang Bodang to challenge for a while...... Gone! Nothing else!
It seems that Yang Xuangan is not here to fight the imperial capital, but just to play and see the scenery, and he is not in a hurry at all.
Secondly.
Wu Fan, who occupies an absolute disadvantage in troops, as the defensive side, according to the size of the city and the allocation of troops, all he can do is to attack instead of defend and take the initiative to attack. As a result, in addition to taking Huang Zhong and Lu Junyi to beat Wang Bodang...... It's gone! There are no other initiatives!
Looking at Wu Fan's graceful appearance, it seems that he is not facing an enemy who is several times more than him, but a group of sheep in the sheepfold, which can go over and take out one at any time and burst the chrysanthemum.
Finally.
The surface is the surface, and the back is the back.
Yang Xuangan did not move, he was waiting for the manufacture of siege equipment.
Wu Fan did not move, on the one hand, he used the reinforcements of the king of the backer to constantly use the guise to confuse the enemy and his own people, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the "siege equipment" to be ready.
In a word.
At least for now, both sides. It's still a quiet and quiet situation.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Early yesterday morning, 5,000 cavalry under the banner of the king of the backer entered from Luoyang Xicheng Pass. Then he retreated to the royal gardens. Then, more than 8,000 cavalry with the banner of the king of the backer entered from Luoyang Xicheng Pass, and about 2,000 unknown sailors entered from Luoyang Nancheng Pass by boat. Or stationed in the royal garden......", Yang Xuangan frowned and muttered: "The royal garden has now been transformed into a military camp by Wu Fan, which is heavily guarded, and it is not allowed to enter in detail, but it is determined through the consumption of grain, forage, etc. β
Yang Xuangan snapped his fingers and muttered, "Yang Kuan went north and took most of the people in the four guards in Luoyang, leaving behind about 33,000 or so." Wu Fan went south to quell the rebellion and took away 10,000 horsemen. and his own more than 4,000 troops, consumption is inevitable, and he comes back with 10,000 ...... Counting around, there are ...... soldiers and horses in Luoyang City There was ......"
Yang Xuan was blindsided.
"Forty-five thousand!" , it was Pan Qiaoyun who answered, and she and Yang Xuangan were alone in the camp tent of the accommodation: "What if...... That's all the assistance of the backer king. β
Yang Xuan was taken aback.
Even though the numbers are icy, it's intuitive.
Three days ago, Yang Xuangan's soldiers and horses were seven times the strength of Luoyang City.
Two days ago. Because of Wu Fan's arrival, Yang Xuangan's soldiers and horses were reduced to five times the strength of Luoyang City.
As of today, with the help of the king of the backer, Yang Xuangan's soldiers and horses are no more than three times the strength of Luoyang City!
This value. It is really unimaginable for Yang Xuangan, he feels that the gap between his strength and Luoyang City is gradually decreasing, not that there is the old saying in the art of war, "ten times the enemy attacking the city". Siege is one of the most brutal forms of warfare, and the closer the forces are, the more difficult it is for one side to win...... What suddenly abrupt to him was definitely a crisis.
Yang Xuangan to his own army. There is a certain understanding, and it is not too much to say that it is patchwork. Therefore, he did not include the 200,000 people, the homeless, etc...... That's not a thing.
"No way!"
"Can't wait!"
Yang Xuangan jumped up from the bed and ran out in a hurry.
Pan Qiaoyun looked at Yang Xuangan's movements, thought it was funny, and covered his mouth and chuckled.
At this timeβ
"Mrs. Pan!"
A faint call rang out from the doorway.
Pan Qiaoyun turned her head and saw clearly that it was her maid, but ...... She sensed something unusual in the tone of the title.
The maid walked past the guard at the door, carrying a tray, step by step, entering, lowering, standing upright, and staring.
Pan Qiaoyun restrained his smile.
The maid took out a token from her sleeve and whispered slowly: "Lord, there is an order!" β
Pan Qiaoyun was stunned, surprised, confused and other emotions intertwined, and finally bowed his head.
The maid said without emotion: "Early the day after tomorrow, I killed Yang Xuangan." β
Pan Qiaoyun shuddered and raised his head blankly.
The maid took out a small bottle from her arms, handed it to Pan Qiaoyun, and said, "You know how you got to Yang Xuangan's side, you have no choice...... Don't forget who saved you and gave you life. β
Pan Qiaoyun stroked her hair, concealed her panic, took the small bottle, and said, "I know what to do." β
The maid smiled with satisfaction, and went to lay down the tray as usual, and withdrew from the tent.
Pan Qiaoyun looked at the small bottle in his hand, his delicate face was white, and there was no trace of blood.
The stunned sculpture froze, and Pan Qiaoyun's heart surged...... Yang Xuangan felt good to herself, and the kindness of the lord's side, she couldn't stop measuring.
"Dada...... Da Da ....... β
The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and Yang Xuangan broke in from outside.
"Goo-dong...... Knock ....... β
I poured a lot of water.
Yang Xuan felt "hey" and said unhappily: "Procrastinating, it's not like it!" β
It's obvious.
When Yang Xuangan went to ask how the siege equipment was built, the results he got were not good.
Pan Qiaoyun came back to her senses, stuffed the small bottle onto the belt behind her, and tried her best to make her expression normal.
Yang Xuangan didn't notice it.

Wu Fan's return to Luoyang brought a stable impact on the city, or he himself was a deterrent, which made many ghosts and ghosts Xiaoxiao not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and cautiously clamped their tails.
Even so, Jia Xu, together with the Yellow Gate Guards and the Eagle Yang Guard, who acted alone, also captured a lot of meticulous work to listen to the situation of the soldiers and horses camp in the past few days.
Yang Xuangan thought that the king of the backer had reinforcements to come to Luoyang, but in fact, it was a strategy made out of nothing by Guo Fengxiao to Wu Fan, and Luoyang's troops had been constant at a gap of four or five times less than him.
In order to make the plan smooth and not go wrong, Wu Fan had to rearrange it.
The 1,800 sailors led by Gan Ning arrived in Luoyang from Shunluoshui in Xingyang, entered through Nanchengguan, and sailed into the city along with several warships.
The 1,800 people in Gan Ning were pretended to be by Wu Fan...... Well, thirteen thousand...... No, it's the confidence of more than 15,000 people.
Wu Fan tuned out the tune of the private army that had been invested in the royal garden, and asked Gan Ning to fill it in, and practice it every other hour.
Of course, Wu Fan's kind of fuss is easy to make the newly formed sailors complain, and he has given a lot of preferential treatment in the supply of grain and grass.
Wu Fan counted the time and patiently waited for the moment when the change came
