The south gate of Luoyang City.

After retreating from the front line, the soldiers of the Hou Wei army were slowly walking towards the city gate.

Zhao Zi's battle flag was lowered, and the pack immediately carried the seriously injured soldiers, and many of the rest of the soldiers were also wounded, but they were simply bandaged, and blood was still dripping from the cloth of the wounds.

The people outside the city watched this scene, and they all had an ominous premonition, which was obviously a tragic situation after suffering the defeat. The Zhao army has not suffered a defeat for a long time since it has won a great victory in recent years, and this time it was a defeat, which surprised the people outside the city.

Not only the people, but even the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao who guarded Luoyang on the side couldn't believe it. They went down to the city to ask about their robes, and when they heard that they were indeed defeated by Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, they immediately confirmed the news.

Even the famous general Xu Shiji also lost, is the Tang Army Li Xiaogong and Li Jingbu really as powerful as the legend? Or did Zhao Jun make his own mistake. In this battle, the Hou Guards suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, the southern gate of Luoyang Yique fell, and the three cities of Heyang in the north lost two cities, and the main force of the Zhao army in Youjing had not yet arrived, and Luoyang City was facing a crisis at this moment.

Not only the soldiers, but also the people's hearts floated. The soldiers walked dejectedly to the city gates.

A soldier of the Tun Guard Army on the side, looking at this scene, suddenly said loudly: "Brothers, I have defeated Dou Jiande, broken Liu Heimin, destroyed Wang Shichong, and defeated Luoyang City from Youjing for thousands of miles, what is a small failure at the moment." ”

Listening to the soldier's words, the officers and soldiers of the three armies all raised their heads. Everyone said: "Yes, how many strong enemies have our Tun Guards defeated. Now it's just a momentary defeat, what is it! ”

"Don't let others look down on us, brethren, raise your heads. Puff up your chest, the blood of the men of my guard army is gone, and death will not spin! ”

The blood is gone, and death does not spin! This sentence has always been the battle cry of the Tun Guard, and now the Tun Guard sergeant shouted loudly. The soldiers of the Tun Guard seemed to have regained their strength, tidied up their clothes, and marched forward.

The drummer next to the mules and horses on the side also beat the small drum. The soldiers regained their spirits and entered the Luoyang City Gate with high spirits.

Seeing the Tun Guards reinvigorate, the Hou Wei soldiers on the side were all envious.

A guard sergeant said: "Their guard army is one of the first four government armies of my Dazhao, and they have great achievements, and they are nothing if they fail for a while, but our Hou Wei army has lost the first battle since it became an army, and I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over in the future." ”

"Phew, what a frustrating thing. Is this still our big Zhao man? One of the soldiers retorted.

"That's right!" A voice came.

The two soldiers looked at Shan Xiongxin, and when they saw Shan Xiongxin, they lost their voices together: "General." ”

Shan Xiongxin rode his horse into the city and shouted to all the soldiers: "Cheer up, a small defeat will make you like this, what is this!" The Tun Guards have fought more than us. But what's the matter if I fight too much, now that I fight less, I have to win it back one by one. Brothers, there is a saying that shame leads to courage, and if you lose today, don't do it. We'll come out sooner or later! ”

After listening to Shan Xiongxin's words, the guards were in front of the city gate. They all wiped their tears with their hands.

"General, we must avenge this revenge!"

"The blood of the brethren will not be shed in vain!"

Shan Xiongxin looked at the soldiers and hugged his fists and said, "Brothers, please!" ”

The soldiers of the Hou Guard stepped down heavily, the dust in front of the city gate was raised, and this defeated army seemed to be rejuvenated at this moment, and the soldiers marched forward proudly.

Xu Shiji on the side heard Shan Xiongxin's words from a distance, and said to the left and right: "Defeat without being discouraged, this is the way to general, Shan Xiongxin is really amazing." ”

The general on the side listened and said: "Where is the general, the loss of this battle is all due to the Tunwei army." If it weren't for them, how could our garrison have suffered such losses. ”

Xu Shiji shook his head and said: "What if you lose the battle, Liu Bang met Xiang Yu, and he didn't taste a victory, but he was able to turn things around." As for Xiang Yu, in his life of seventy-two battles, he only lost for a while, and he was killed. In recent years, our army has hardly lost a battle, it is too smooth, and this time we have learned the lesson of this defeat, so that everyone understands that we should not underestimate the heroes of the world. ”

After listening to Xu Shiji's words, all the generals were taught.

A general said: "General, at present, the Tang Army's South Road army can reach Luoyang City in two or three days, if the North Road Army crosses the Yellow River and reaches Luoyang City, can the two encirclement of Luoyang be able to hold it?" ”

Xu Shiji looked around and saw that all the generals had no confidence, and said at the moment: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" ”

However, Xu Shiji also understood that if the Tang army on the North Road really crossed the Yellow River, then for Luoyang, the pressure would be very huge.

At this moment, on the bank of the Yellow River, the Tang army built pontoon bridges overnight, and all the small boats on the north bank had already been transferred to the south bank, but the Tang army was still able to come up with various ways to get boats to build pontoon bridges on the Yellow River. Now the pontoon bridge connecting the two banks of the Yellow River is almost completed.

On the south city of Heyang, Su Dingfang was worried, looking at the other side of the Yellow River, and the Tang army camp on the other side stretched into the distance, as if endless. The north bank was illuminated by the lights in the Tang Army barracks, as if it were day, and even the turbid Yellow River was illuminated. The sound of fighting in the camp seems to be able to reach Su Dingfang's ears on the south bank. The main force of nearly 120,000 Tang troops pressed on the north bank, almost making the Zhao army on the south bank breathless.

And near Wangwu Mountain, a battle that could affect the outcome of this Tang and Zhao State War is unfolding.

On the top of the mountain, Ying Hefu led 5,000 grassland horsemen to charge the Tang army at the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing the cavalry on the hill, the civilian servants were trembling.

"Centaurs...... There are a lot of people! The servants stammered.

"The Chen family's father, we are just here to transport grain, and we can't work for his Li family."

The militia members were loose, and a few of them had the idea of oiling the soles of their feet.

At this time, several heads fell to the ground, and it turned out that the soldiers of the Tang Army had already drawn their knives and cut those who wanted to escape.

"Those who flee without permission will be killed!"

The generals and soldiers of the Tang Army were all fierce and vicious, and all the civilian servants did not dare to have any objections, so they bowed their heads together.

"Turn the car sideways and block the mountain road." Listening to the Tang sergeant on the side, he shouted. The minds of the civil servants were blank at this time.

On the hillside, the cavalry of the Fan Army raised their sabers, and all the people present had numb scalps.

The militiamen hurriedly lifted the cart sideways, approached to take out wooden sticks, and shivered and hid down.

However, the cavalry of the Zhao army was not merciless, and the cavalry on the hillside slaughtered down the mountain like an avalanche. The Tang soldiers fired arrows at the oncoming cavalry, but the Tang army could not arrange a favorable defensive position on the narrow road at all.

The arrows could not do much damage to the cavalry of the Zhao army.

"It's coming!"

The militiamen closed their eyes and raised their sticks against the rushing horses, their hands and feet shaking constantly.

Inghefer rode on his horse and watched the enemy soldiers flying in, a sneer on his face. He moved the knife to the sword

The cavalry of the Murde Xi Department was first-class, they rose and fell on horseback, stretched their bows and arrows, and the dense rain of arrows flew down into the Tang army's camp.

The Tang soldiers raised their leather shields to fend off the arrows, and the civilians could only hide behind the chicken bus, but many arrows still hit the miners' heels, thighs, or arms. The screams of pain came and went.

The cavalry of the Fan army shot arrows and stuck them in the grain bags of the chicken carts, and corn like yellow sand poured out of the bags and sprinkled on the ground.

Seeing the military rations on the ground, Ying Hefu couldn't help but be overjoyed, that's right, this is the Tang Army's food team! The leaked military rations were as excited to Inghefer as a hungry wolf was when he saw blood.

Kill!

As if the wolf showed his fangs, the steppe rider put away his longbow and replaced it with a sword, and the sound of the horse's hooves was earth-shattering.

During the charge, the cavalry threw away the burdensome leather jackets on their bodies, revealing the tattoos that were full of tigers and wolves, and the huge earrings on half of the ears were also shocking.

The war horse rushed into the Tang Army's shield array proudly!

There was a thud, and both men and horses were knocked away. Following this gap, the cavalry of the Fan army swung their scimitars and slashed like crazy.

The sharp blade marks an arc like a crescent moon. The thin blade cut through the leather armor on the Tang sergeant's body, and it didn't take much effort at all.

With the help of the momentum of the war horse, the cavalry of the Fan Army scraped the side of the knife at random, and the Tang sergeant in front of him swirled on the spot, holding the wound on his chest, and fell to the ground.

The Tang sergeant picked up his spear and stabbed it at the cavalry, several spear bars were inserted from under the horse's belly, and the war horse threw itself on the ground with a terrible neigh. However, the horseman easily took off his stirrup, jumped off the horse, and threw himself into the Tang army.

The cavalryman fell to the ground, rolled sideways to avoid the blade of the spear, slashed through it, and then a leg in a cowhide boot left his master's body.

"Kill!"

The cavalry shouted excitedly.

"Savage fan!"

Qian Jiulong killed a cavalryman of the Fan Army who was going to assassinate him, and shouted angrily, although he killed one person with his own hands, he saw that the Tang army on his left and right was already defeated under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Fan Army.

On the roads, the infantry of the Don Army, which did not form formations, was not at all an opponent of the steppe rangers. In this way, it has almost become a situation of individual combat, which is exactly the advantage of Fancai. What's more, it is already very hard for his soldiers to trek the mountain road, and the other party is waiting for work, and the advantages of one or the other are even inferior. As for the 20,000 civilian servants, these are not soldiers at all, but a burden.

"The general can't resist it, let's withdraw!" A general was frightened, and cried to Qian Jiulong with snot and tears on his face.

"Withdraw? We withdraw, what will we do with this rations? This is the grain and grass of the 120,000 army, and without this army ration, the brothers of the Heyang camp will be hungry! ”

Qian Jiulong roared angrily.

Watching the scene of the cavalry of the Fan army slashing and killing his own soldiers, Qian Jiulong almost cried and said: "We can't withdraw!" I can't withdraw it! ”
