In the eyes of the soldiers of Zheng Jun, the city wall on the east side of Hui'an Gate collapsed for no reason, and it fell neatly and confusedly, but they knew how much they paid in order to put these two cannons in order to fight the Sui army, and only the Sui soldiers themselves knew.

Even if there is a pointed wooden donkey that can prevent arrows and stones, but in order to dig a suitable gunpowder blasting cave on the city wall, more than 60 Sui soldiers who are responsible for digging the city wall are still stoned to death by the big stones falling from the city, and are burned alive by the swallowtail torch thrown in a concentrated manner. The soldiers of the Sui army carrying the powder box also killed two people on the spot, and the other two powder boxes were successfully stuffed into the cave and ignited and detonated. However, at the same time as the city wall collapsed, more than a dozen Sui soldiers who could not escape were buried alive, and almost at the cost of hundreds of sacrifices before and after, two openings of more than two zhang and three zhang long were blown up in the city wall of the eastern capital, opening the way into the city.

But fortunately, this loss is still within the bearability of the Yining Sui army, and it also reduces more casualties among the soldiers of the Sui army. In the cheers, the soldiers of the Sui army risked the risk that the rammed earth wall may continue to collapse, stepping on the collapsed earth wall and shouting into the city, the Sui army Luo Shixin, who had been waiting impatiently on the other side of the moat, immediately launched a charge with the reserves, and Kan Liang, another fierce general in the Sui army, also immediately took the follow-up army out of the battle, and the Sui soldiers who were familiar with the terrain in the eastern capital also prepared sulfur gunpowder and other fire-igniting things early, led by Qiu Xinggong to go out of the battle, just waiting for Chen Fuliang's order, he rushed into the city and smashed the Tianjin Bridge, Cut off the connection between the north and south cities of Luoyang.

The front army of the Sui army led by Luo Shixin was very competitive, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Zheng soldiers who were caught off guard because of the sudden collapse of the city wall, they rushed into the city first, and quickly dispersed the Zheng army reserves behind the city wall, and did not give the Zheng army any chance to temporarily block the gap with the Saimen knife car, and then Luo Shixin, who was also familiar with the terrain, led the army into the city, and without saying a word, he rushed directly to the Xuanren Gate, the east gate of the imperial city, which was due south. Kan Liang and Qiu Xinggong respectively led the army into the city, Chen Fuliang's Kan Liang, who was the best at fighting tough battles, went to seize the open space outside the Chengfu Gate, seized the favorable terrain outside the Chengfu Gate, and blocked the Zheng soldiers from Chengfu, Zuoye and Minghui The three gates of the inevitable road to escape into the imperial city, Qiu Xinggong went straight to the Tianjin Bridge, and the defenders of the outer city of Luoyang and the imperial city desperately released arrows on the city, but they still couldn't stop the Sui soldiers from swarming into the outer city and quickly seized the key throat in the city.

At this time, Qu Tutong, the commander of the Sui army in Shangchunmen, heard the sound of explosion in the direction of Hui'anmen, and immediately ordered the front army to attack fiercely, and Feng Li, the new general of the Sui army who led the front army, personally boarded the flying ladder ant attached to the siege in order to please the new master, and was once smashed down by the sheep's head stone The flying ladder was covered with blood, and after quickly getting up, Feng Li didn't care about checking the injuries on his body, and rushed back to the flying ladder without saying a word, and successfully killed the wall, which greatly boosted the morale of the former army. The soldiers of the Sui army, who were hiding under the pointed wooden donkeys, also desperately dug the city wall as if they were crazy, quickly dug out several caves suitable for blasting, and quickly transported gunpowder across the river to ignite and detonate.

At the same time that the rammed earth city wall on this side of Shangchun Gate was finally blown down by the Sui army soldiers with gunpowder blasting tactics, the comprehensive general attack of the Sui army brigade was immediately launched, Wang Fubao, Shi Wanbao, Qiu Shili and Liu Shishan and other Sui army generals led the army to attack in turn, and the tide rushed to Shangchun Gate, and the front army of the Sui army also quickly seized the gap, and tried to use the Saimen knife car to establish temporary fortifications of the Zheng army soldiers bloody battle, protect the road into the city to buy time for the follow-up friendly forces. The already fierce battle of Shangchunmen has also completely entered the white heat, the soldiers of the two armies sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives, fiercely brandished swords and guns just to fight for their lives, and in the fierce battle, knives and guns pierced each other's chests and bodies, hugged each other and rolled down the city wall to die together.

The Zheng army reserve stationed in Luoyang North City also reacted quickly, in fact, the Zheng army reserve led by Duan Da, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyun and other generals immediately sent 8,000 troops to reinforce Hui'anmen after receiving the news of the emergency of Hui'anmen, and after receiving the news that the city wall of Shangchunmen was also broken by the Sui army, Duan Da and other generals were taken aback, but they still hurriedly led all the reserves to rush to the main battlefield of Shangchunmen to reinforce and do the final dying struggle.

It's a pity that although the Zheng army reserve reacted quickly, but what they were facing was the momentum of the Sui army vanguard warriors who were full of murderous spirit, and the Sui army soldiers who were ordered to annihilate the enemy in the outer city as much as possible were all vying for the first, all of them were brave, and the Zheng army reserves were killed with fewer blows and more than one inch, and then when Wang Fubao and Shi Wanbao and other Sui army brave generals led the army into the city, the Zheng army reserve was far from having the opportunity to re-plug the gap. The shouting and killing sound reached as far as the south bank of Luoshui, and the surging flow of people directly collapsed the walls of many sections of the Jiaoye Workshop.

At this time, Wang Shichong's order to retreat was finally sent to the front line, although it was clear that retreating at this time was equivalent to kicking the Sui army, but in order to preserve the fighting strength, Duan Da and Shan Xiongxin still hurriedly sounded the golden gong, and retreated to the imperial city with a reserve of more than 20,000 people. The various units of the Sui army took the opportunity to enter the city in a big way, shouting the slogan of surrender and not killing, desperately covering up the killing, slashing and capturing the enemy outside the city who could cause great trouble for their own army once they fled into the imperial city.

The critical moment that will determine the future direction of the war is coming, if the Zheng army's reserves of more than 30,000 and the total of more than 16,000 Jiumen defenders can successfully withdraw to the imperial city, then the puppet Zheng court not only has sufficient troops to defend the city, but also can appropriately attack and launch a counterattack, but if these more than 40,000 troops are hit hard in the outer city, then the puppet Zheng court will basically only have the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back.

But it's still a pity that the tactical goal of the main force of the Sui army in this big battle is to severely damage the vitality of the Zheng army in the outer city, so when Duan Da and the other generals hurriedly withdrew along the open avenue with the Zheng army's reserves to the vicinity of Xuanren Gate, they were immediately stunned to see that Luo Shixin, the number one god-killing little monster under Chen Fuliang, had already lined up outside the Xuanren Gate, blocking their way back to the city. In order to preserve their strength, Duan Da and Shan Xiongxin and other generals were forced to order the whole army to assault and charge, but Luo Shixin, who was standing in front of the formation with two knives in his hand, licked the blade of the knife with his tongue and smiled fiercely, and disdained the Zheng army team rushing like a dog jumping over the wall to the extreme.

Facing the dense rain of arrows and shouts of the Sui army soldiers, they paid a lot of price to kill in front of the Sui army, and another tragic battle was immediately launched, the little monster Luo Shixin double-knife like the wind, cut down and kill the enemy when he saw people, and everywhere the double knives destroyed by the brutal divine power, the generals and soldiers of the Zheng army either broke their hands and stomachs, or their heads flew straight into the air, and the soldiers of the Sui army who were damaged by Luo Shixin were also smiling with a cruel face, wielding knives and guns to desperately stab the enemy in front of them, and the blood-stained Luo Shixin and many Sui soldiers were still laughing wildly on the battlefield, Laughing wildly, he stabbed the enemy like a madman, and killed the Zheng army that was forced to charge until people turned on their backs, ghosts cried wolves, and countless people were killed and wounded.

Then, Wang Fubao led the Sui army chasers also killed the back of the Zheng army's reserves, Wang Fubao, who is good at assault tactics, let the soldiers form an arrow formation in the run, and let the tip of the arrow pierce into the back of the Zheng army, a horizontal knife straight chopping obliquely, chopping melons and vegetables generally cut down and chopping the enemy in front of them one after another, invincible, the Sui soldiers took the opportunity to stride forward, and the open arrow gradually cut the Zheng army's rear team into two, and the Zheng soldiers and soldiers fled because they were too frightened. Xu Shiyun, who was appointed to the palace, roared again and again, desperately urging the army to resist the Sui army's offensive, but he still couldn't resist Wang Fubao's step-by-step advance.

At the same time, the Shi Wanbao division of the Sui army had also arrived at the battlefield, detoured north to the street between Sigongfang and Qinghuafang, and launched an assault on the Zheng army's reserves from the flank. - Shi Wanbao, who originally had a general understanding of the situation in Luoyang City, planned to make a detour to the south, to the street between Guiyifang and Lidefang to block the road for Zheng Jun's southern escape to Chengfu Sanmen, but the guide had no choice but to tell Shi Wanbao that the south was a Caoqu waterway, which was not suitable for the army to march at all, and Shi Wanbao, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, had no choice, so he had to retreat and make a detour to the north.

The war has already spread to the entire outer city of Luoyang, after quickly killing the defenders of the Tianjin Bridge, although the Sui army led by Qiu Xinggong burned the bridge immediately, although the Tianjin Bridge was immediately ignited, there were many Zheng Army Nancheng soldiers who took advantage of the opportunity that the bridge was not completely destroyed and rushed onto the bridge deck, fighting with the Sui army while extinguishing the fire, Qiu Xinggong resolutely faced the battle in order to ensure the destruction of this most important bridge, the two soldiers fought with knives and guns on the narrow bridge with smoke and flames, and the fight was inextricable, and the bridge deck was quickly covered with dead bodies, There were countless soldiers of the two armies who scuffled together and fell into Luoshui.

In addition to the Tianjin Bridge, there are two strong wooden bridges on the east side of Luoshui that can allow the Zheng soldiers in the south to cross the river and escape, but what is very fatal for the Zheng soldiers is that even if they cross the river from these two bridges, if they want to escape back to the imperial city, they must pass through the defense area of the Sui army Kan Liang, Chen Fuliang's command of Kan Liang, who is not afraid of fighting a tough battle, commanded the army to calmly meet the battle, first shot the enemy fleeing from the lower reaches of Luoshui with a bow and crossbow, and then hit the Zheng army head-on with a big Mo knife, which also killed the corpses of Zheng soldiers all over the ground, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere. At the same time, because of the hasty retreat, the Zheng soldiers, who were in a very chaotic queue, scattered and attacked, and not a single soldier could rush through the position of the Kan Liang army.

Seeing that the situation was not good on the tower of Xuanren Gate, Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and had a heart, so he could only quickly send his baby nephew Wang Renze to lead the army out of the city from Xuanren Gate, and Duan Da flanked the Sui army Luo Shixin before and after, in a vain attempt to kill and disperse Luo Shixin's army to meet the defeated troops into the city, and also relied on the advantage of being outnumbered and powerful, and once had the upper hand. But when Chen Fuliang gritted his teeth and only left the **** as a bodyguard, and sent Wei Chi Jingde to lead the rear army into the city to reinforce, Wang Ren Zejun quickly couldn't parry, and it was rare to be able to go into battle and kill once Wei Chi Jingde risked being shot by the enemy in the city with a bow and arrow at any time, and the first soldier was like a god descending from heaven, killing more than 20 enemies in a row in one breath in the chaotic army, and killing Zheng Sergeant was screaming again and again, and retreated one after another, Wang Ren heard that it was Wei Chi Jingde, who could overturn Shan Xiongxin with empty hands, and killed. Frightened, he didn't even dare to meet with Yu Chi Jingde, but on the contrary, he hurriedly retreated to Xuanren Gate, so as not to be taken by Yu Chi Jingde, a fierce tiger, to kill people in the imperial city.

At this time, the Zheng army reserves that were attacked by the Sui army in three directions, east and west, and finally couldn't parry, Duan Da personally took the lead, and the Zheng army reserves fled south together, and the Cao Qu that crossed the north city of Luoyang in the south effectively protected the Zheng army reserves from the enemy in the south, but at this moment it became a nightmare for the Zheng army soldiers on the way to escape, the narrow bridge was crowded with Zheng army defeated soldiers for a while, you push me, there are countless people who fall into the Cao Canal, trample on each other, as long as you accidentally fall, you will never have a chance to get up, Immediately they will be trampled into meat sauce by the defeated soldiers of the self-army, and the corpses on several bridges in Caoqu are stacked on top of each other, piled up more than half a person high.

Seeing that a large number of his own defeated soldiers were forced to flee south, Wang Shichong sighed for a long time, and had no choice but to order the Xuande Gate to be closed quickly, pinning all his hopes on the Chengfu Three Gates in the southwest corner of the imperial city. Yu Chi Jingde really wanted to take the opportunity to enter the imperial city, but unfortunately Xuanren's men were shot with random arrows, and Yu Chi Jingde, who had been shot by stray arrows twice in the fierce battle, couldn't parry, so he had no choice but to retreat and turn around to find other defeated soldiers of Zheng Jun. Luo Shixin, who was ordered to block Xuanren Gate, wanted to propose to exchange tasks with Wei Chi Jingde with a flattering face, but of course Wei Chi Jingde pretended not to hear it, and ran faster than a rabbit with his subordinates, leaving Luo Shixin to scold Wei Chi Jingde outside Xuanren Gate for not being righteous.

With the Zheng army reserve fleeing south, most of the pressure of this big battle was concentrated on Kan Liang's army, even if the Zheng army reserve was no longer in a queue during the escape, and the establishment was completely chaotic, but in the face of the endless stream of Zheng army's defeated troops, Kan Liang's army quickly fell into a bitter battle, and was forced to form a square circle to meet the enemies who jumped over the wall in a hurry, Wang Shichong also ordered the defenders of the imperial city to go out of the city to respond, and also ordered the archers in the city to shoot the fighting teams under the city indiscriminately, The soldiers of both armies suffered huge casualties, and treacherous people such as Duan Da and Shan Xiongxin also took the opportunity to flee into the imperial city and survived their lives.

Fortunately, before the war, the generals of the Sui army, who knew that Kan Liang must be under the greatest pressure, also rushed to Chengfu Gate to reinforce with all their might, and Qiu Xinggong, who successfully burned the Tianjin Bridge, first returned to the army to help Kan Liang, blocking the road for the defeated army to escape into the imperial city from the right gate, and then Wei Chi Jingde also rushed to Chengfu Gate with rain of arrows, and fought hard to block the enemy's way into the city from Chengfu Gate. The number of defeated soldiers of the Zheng army is still very large, only one Minghui Gate can enter the city, in order to survive, you fight for each other, trample on each other, swords and spears against each other, kill each other and trample on each other to the dead countless, the open ground outside the Chengfu Gate is full of people, the soldiers of the two armies are intertwined, the Zheng soldiers cry and shout to shake the sky, and there are countless people who flee for their lives and surrender on their knees.

There are still quite a lot of Zheng soldiers who fled into the Minghui Gate, but as Chen Fuliang expected before the war, in the dark night, the Sui army soldiers who were afraid of the chaos to kill into the imperial city, and the Sui army that the reinforcements continued to arrive had just gained the upper hand outside the Chengfu Gate, and the ruthless Wang Shichong immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and many Zheng soldiers who did not enter the city cried and begged outside the city, but Wang Shichong ignored it, these Zheng soldiers were forced to be helpless, and they had to run to the Sui army to kneel and surrender, the corpses outside the Chengfu Gate were like a mountain, the blood flooded the instep, and the blood flowed into Luoshui, dyeing the Luoshui that runs through the outer city of Luoyang into a piece of pink, and the smell of blood has not dispersed to the Sui army camp ten miles downstream.

In the northeast, sensing that the battle in the outer city of Luoyang was not good, Wang Deren, the general of the Zheng army who guarded Jinyong City, once went out of the city to help, but was attacked by the Sui army Liu Heimin? After fighting for a long time, he failed to break through Liu Heimin's blockade, so he had to flee back to the city again, and left more than 800 corpses and more than 200 soldiers on the battlefield.

After successfully blocking the road back to the city of the defeated army of the Zheng army, the battle in the outer city of Luoyang was not over, Qu Tutong personally led the army to cross the river from the bridge in the east, and killed the remnants of the enemy in the south of Luoyang, and the Sui army in the north also searched and captured the remnants of the Zheng army from square to square, and as a result, in addition to eliminating and capturing many Zheng soldiers who fled into the people's square to hide, they also caught two big fish unexpectedly - the Zheng army generals Xu Shiyun and Mulan led a considerable part of the remnants of the defeated generals, fled into the Yuji Fang closed the square to defend themselves, not only refused to surrender, He also once killed the soldiers of the Sui army who tried to attack the fang.

When the news spread, the Sui army from all walks of life immediately rushed to Yujifang like chicken blood, Liu Shishan, Shi Wanbao, Qiu Shili and Wang Fubao first surrounded Yujifang, and then agreed to attack together, to see who had the best ability to get Xu Shiyun and Mulan, the two heads that were registered in front of Chen Fuliang. However, at this time, Chen Fuliang, who received the news, suddenly came to the outside of Yuji Fang with a newspaper, first drank that the generals were not allowed to attack, and then sent people to play a white flag outside the door to ask Xu Shiyun to come out and answer.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Shiyun climbed the wall of the workshop and shouted loudly to Chen Fuliang, who was surrounded by torches: "Thief Chen, don't waste your strength, I know you want to surrender, but I don't share your hatred, I want me to surrender, dream!" If you want my head, even if you call your accomplice lackeys to attack the workshop, I want to see how many people you have to die to take my head!" ”

"General Xu, what you said is a little strange." Chen Fuliang said loudly with a smile: "What kind of grudge does this king have with you? Back then, on the Tongji Canal, if you hadn't been deceived by this king, this king's head would have been cut off by Lu Xingxing, and seriously speaking, you can be regarded as half of the king's life-saving benefactor. It's too late for this king to thank you, so why should I hold a grudge against you? ”

"That's because of that!" Xu Shiyun yelled: "You have made me a laughing stock in the world!" That's why I don't share it with you! ”

"If you fall for this king's clever plan once, what do you have to be ridiculed?" Chen Fuliang smiled and said: "There are more people who have fallen for this king's clever plan, as early as you?" There are Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, and then there are Du Fuwei, Wang Shichong, Li Yuan, Xue Ju and the Li family brothers, these heroes of the world, there are many people who have fallen into this king's clever plan more than once, you can compare with them, and you can let this king personally use tricks on you, what do you have to laugh at? ”

Xu Shiyun was silent, and Chen Fuliang said loudly: "General Xu, you are a talent, no less talented than Liu Heimin and Wang Fubao, the two famous generals, this king has already planned to surrender you, but there has never been this opportunity, today this opportunity is coming, this king does not want to miss it." Surrender, under the command of this king, you have the opportunity to show your strength, show your ambitions, and you can't afford to bury Wang Shichong, that old man is perverse, he doesn't know people, and he abandons pearls and jade like rubble, and you are buried with him, it's a pity. ”

Xu Shiyun was silent, Chen Fuliang saw his hesitation, and said loudly: "This king knows that it is difficult for you to make this decision, this king will give you a pillar of incense time, and after a pillar of incense time, this king will order an attack." ”

Xu Shixian's figure disappeared from the workshop, and after about half a pillar of incense time, the four doors of the Yuji Fang were opened together, under the leadership of Xu Shixian, Zheng soldiers threw their weapons out of the door, and successively came to Chen Fuliang's kneeling and surrendering, Chen Fuliang was overjoyed, and ordered Liu Shishan to pick up Xu Shiyun instead of himself, and comforted him with good words, and then Chen Fuliang looked around at the sergeant again, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What about General Mulan?" Didn't you hear that she was here too? ”

"He's still in the workshop." Xu Shiyun replied: "He has been sitting by the campfire and not speaking, we thought he didn't want to surrender, so we ignored him." ”

"It's still the same as before." Chen Fuliang sighed, and hurriedly patted his horse into the workshop, and the generals of the Sui army were shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the front to crowd Chen Fuliang into the workshop, and Xu Shiyun also followed.

Entering the Yuji Workshop, there was indeed a bonfire at the intersection in the workshop, and Mulan's familiar figure was indeed sitting next to the bonfire, still looking at the bonfire in a daze, not knowing what to think. Chen Fuliang smiled, turned over and dismounted, pushed away the guards and walked to Mulan's side, and said softly: "General Mulan, I'm here to pick you up, you can come back." ”

The generals of the Sui army and Xu Shiyun listened to the great surprise, and Mulan raised her head and glanced at Chen Fuliang, did not speak, just stood up calmly, and walked to Xu Shiyun who had disarmed himself expressionlessly, and suddenly pulled out a piece of the handle of the knife on his waist, Chen Fuliang saw that something was wrong, hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Mulan's right hand, and said quickly: "Mulan, the person who killed Zhang Dashuai was Li Mi, and it has nothing to do with Xu Shichang!" ”

"He's an accomplice." Mulan finally spoke and said coldly.

Hearing this, Xu Shiyun came to his senses, and suddenly cold sweat rolled on his forehead, his hands and feet trembled, but the generals of the Sui army who also woke up next to him were quick and immediately held Xu Shiyun down together. Chen Fuliang pressed Mulan's hand tightly, and said: "It's true that he is an accomplice, but in the original battle of Dahai Temple, everyone who participated in the battle was an accomplice, do you want to kill them all?" Kill Shan Xiongxin and Shan Yingying too? The first evil is Li Mi, I promise you, I will definitely give you the opportunity to execute Li Mi with your own hands to avenge Zhang Dashuai, and you will let Xu Shichang go once. ”

With a heavy snort, Mulan put the waist knife back into the sheath, and said coldly to Xu Shiyun: "You are lucky this time, Deputy Envoy Chen intercedes for you, I will spare your life, if you dare to have any different intentions in the future, I will be the first to kill you!" ”

Sweat swayed with the movements, Xu Shiyun hurriedly nodded again and again, and swore to be loyal to Chen Fuliang. Mulan still refused to look at Chen Fuliang, but silently walked back to pack up her war horse weapons, and did not look at Chen Fuliang from beginning to end.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Sui army inevitably looked at each other, and Wei Chi Jingde also whispered in confusion beside him: "Your Highness, this Mulan general is too arrogant, right?" Even if he has worked hard in the enemy camp for many years, he shouldn't put such a big shelf in front of you, right? ”

"Whoever told me to owe her a little too much, let her put on a shelf." Chen Fuliang smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice, patted Wei Chi Jingde's shoulder again, and laughed in a low voice: "Jingde, haven't you been complaining that you don't have much chance to charge?" Not in the future, I will arrange Mulan for you to be your deputy, and when you go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, let her protect me closely. ”

"Really?" Wei Chi Jingde's joy was not trivial, and his resentment towards Mulan was suddenly swept away.

"Of course it's true." Chen Fuliang smiled and nodded, and said in a big way: "Also, you can sleep at night in the future, you are on duty during the day, and she is on duty at night, so you can all relax." ”
