The firelight in the city danced all night, and when you looked down from the hillside at night, the whole Zheng County was reddened by the firelight, until the sky was overcast and bright, and the firelight gradually dimmed.

Standing on the bluestone on the top of the mountain, Liu Wei stared at Zheng County, which was gradually extinguished by the firelight and gradually became clear under the morning sun.

When the sun completely jumped out of the horizon, Liu Wei saw that some Xiliang soldiers wearing black armor suddenly appeared at the gate of Zhengxian County.

There were quite a few of these Xiliang troops, and they poured out of the city gate, like a big nest of ants, and quickly rushed towards the west of the city, wanting to take advantage of the fact that it was still early to quickly leave the city that had been completely thrown into chaos and had long lost its defense.

Seeing the Xiliang army rushing out of the city, Liu Wei raised his arm, pressed it violently, and shouted loudly: "Cavalry attack!" ”

With his shout, the two soldiers standing on the top of the mountain, each holding a huge battle flag in both hands, hurriedly waved the flag vigorously.

At the same time as the banner was flying, several musicians holding the basket also brought it to their mouths and puffed up their cheeks to blow.

Tai Shici, who had been waiting for the order to attack the mountain the night before, ordered all the cavalry to mount their horses early in the morning.

"General, look!" Riding on horseback, seeing many Xiliang troops pouring out of the gate of Zhengxian County, Tai Shi Ci was anxious for a while, just looking forward to getting the order soon, and quickly rushed up to annihilate those Xiliang troops who ran out of the city in one fell swoop, at this moment he heard a cavalry shout behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, two black battle flags were waving back and forth, and as the battle flags fluttered, the sound of a sign of a charge reached the ears of Tai Shi Ci and his 10,000 heavy cavalry.

The voice was low and mournful, like countless resentful spirits who had died on the battlefield, wandering back and forth around the hills.

"Soldiers, kill!" Seeing the battle flag flying and hearing the bursts of the war, Tai Shici stretched out his hand and pulled out two halberds from his back, raised one arm, pointed in the direction of Zheng County with the tip of the halberd, and shouted at the 10,000 cavalry who couldn't wait to rush out: "Three thousand people are chasing and killing the Xiliang army outside the city, don't let one go!" The others followed Ben into the city! ”

"Kill!" With an earth-shattering roar, the galloping hooves of the war horses sounded like thunder, and 10,000 cavalry rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky and rushed towards the gate of Zheng County.

Due to the rebellion led by Dong Xian, the city was full of Xiliang troops fighting each other, and there were no soldiers responsible for defending the city on the wall of Zheng County, Tai Shici led the cavalry of the Luoyang Army to rush to a place only more than fifty steps away from the city wall, and even a single arrow was not shot on the city.

When the cavalry of the Luoyang Army charged, the roar of the horse's hooves came into the ears of the Xiliang Army who had run out of the city gate, and many of the Xiliang Army hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction where the loud noise came, and when they saw the figure of countless Luoyang Army cavalry appearing in the smoke and dust, they suddenly made a mess, and many people were frightened, while screaming strangely, they scattered in all directions, and the queue that was barely maintained when they left the city dispersed in an instant.

The Xiliang army outside the city scattered and fled, but they didn't run far before they were swept into the tide-like Luoyang cavalry.

Countless war horses crashed into this group of Xiliang troops who were trying to escape with a huge impact force, and with a terrible howl, many Xiliang officers and soldiers were knocked up by the war horses, fell to the ground, and broke their bones.

Breaking up this group of Xiliang troops, Tai Shici did not stop the war horse, he brandished his halberd, while slashing at the Xiliang army in front of him, while riding his horse towards the city gate.

The heavy cavalry of the Luoyang Army, which was like a tide, collided with the Xiliang Army in one place, and immediately divided into two groups, one of which followed Tai Shici and rushed to Zheng County, while a small part of the heavy cavalry, reined in their horses, chopped and chased those Xiliang troops who had escaped from the city.

The Xiliang army, which had not yet left the city, saw countless Luoyang cavalry rushing towards the city gate, hurriedly stopped the momentum of rushing out of the city, and retreated into the city, and did not care that those Tongze who had already left the city were still chased and cut by the Luoyang army cavalry, and hundreds of people crowded in the front pushed the city gate in a panic, wanting to close the city gate.

"Kill!" But their reaction was a little slower after all, and when the city gate was about to close, and there was only enough gap left for one person and one horse to rush through, Tai Shici, who was wielding a double halberd, let out a loud shout and rushed into the city.

The huge collision force of the war horse knocked the two Xiliang soldiers in front of him out of the air. After entering the city, the double halberd in Tai Shici's hand flew over, constantly slashing at the Xiliang army who was intending to close the door, but in an instant, there were more than a dozen corpses, splashed with blood, and fell to the ground.

was slashing the surrounding Xiliang army, Tai Shi Ci heard a loud bang behind him, and then dozens of people from the Xiliang army surrounded at the city gate were knocked out of the city by a powerful force.

The city gate, which had not yet been completely closed, was smashed open by a huge impact, and countless Luoyang army cavalry poured into the city, brandishing Pu Dao, and following Tai Shici all the way to slash the Xiliang army that was blocking in front of them.

The cavalry of the Luoyang army rushed into the city, and many of the Xiliang troops who were running along the street to the city gate saw this, and hurriedly turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Just when the Xiliang army outside the city was chased and cut down by the cavalry of the Luoyang army, and there was chaos in the city, thousands of officers and soldiers wearing black Xiliang army armor rushed down from the hillside.

These people rushed down from the hillside, and while running towards the gate of Zheng County, they kept shouting: "Brothers in the city, serve His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang, and you can eat meat!" ”

The thousands of Xiliang soldiers who poured down on the hillside, the closer they got to Zheng County, the harder they shouted, and many Xiliang soldiers who were jumping around in the city heard their shouts, because they didn't see who was shouting, and they didn't dare to surrender easily, just dragged their weapons one by one, ran desperately on the streets, and avoided the pursuit of the heavy cavalry of the Luoyang Army.

The Xiliang army near the gate of the city was completely desperate under the charge of the Luoyang cavalry, many people heard the shouts outside the city, and in the face of the swords that the Luoyang army cavalry kept chopping, they threw away their weapons, knelt on the side with their heads in their hands, and trembled all over.

The Luoyang army that rushed into the city really didn't slash their swords at these Xiliang soldiers who knelt on the ground, and the Xiliang officers and soldiers who knelt on the ground only saw pieces of horses' hooves passing by, and occasionally a few former Tongze who did not kneel down were splashed with blood and fell in front of them.

Tai Shi Ci led the cavalry to rush into the city, and the soldiers of the Xiliang army who shouted loudly and asked the Xiliang army in the city to put down their swords also arrived at the city gate and poured into the city one after another, some of them gathered the Xiliang officers and soldiers who were kneeling on the ground in one place, waiting for Liu Wei to lead the main force into the city and then make a move.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the scattered corpses scattered in the field under the hillside, and listening to the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the city, Liu Wei beckoned behind him and shouted to the officers and soldiers on the hillside: "Enter the city!" ”

The infantry of the Luoyang Army, who had already lined up the formation and was only waiting for Liu Wei's order, strode forward and drove down the hillside after receiving Liu Wei's order.

Riding on horseback, on the way to the gate of Zheng County, Liu Wei turned his head and looked around.

Looking at the battlefield where the cavalry had just carried out a massacre, Liu Wei looked around and saw the corpses of the Xiliang army wearing black armor everywhere in the open space between the foot of the mountain and the city gate.

Countless corpses lay on their stomachs in the not-so-deep grass, like black stones, silently dormant, making this flat land connecting the hill and the city look strange and gloomy.

The sun climbed higher and higher, and the shouts of killing in the city gradually became quieter.

The 20,000-strong infantry of the Luoyang Army, lined up in a neat formation, followed Liu Wei and entered Zheng County.

The city wall of Zheng County is just like what Liu Wei saw on the top of the mountain earlier, it is not very tall, and compared with many cities that Liu Wei has visited in the past, the city wall of this county town can even be regarded as low.

The bluestone city wall, mottled and full of weathered traces, has been for many years, but it is rare to see traces of arrow scratches on the city wall, which shows that it has not experienced too many baptisms of war.

Entering the city, Liu Wei saw that many Xiliang soldiers were busy cleaning up the dead bodies on the road, while the Xiliang officers and soldiers who had killed each other in the city at night had their weapons confiscated and squatted with their heads under the supervision of a group of their former Tongze.

In the distance on the streets, from time to time, groups of Xiliang troops who had just been captured and tied up like grasshoppers with hemp rope would be driven by groups of heavy cavalry and walk towards the open space where they were guarding Tongze.

Seeing Liu Wei enter the city, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, who were busy carrying the dead bodies, all stopped their movements, clasped their fists with both hands, maintained a bowing posture, and looked at Liu Bian.

Those Xiliang soldiers who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands saw that their former Tongze was so respectful to Liu Bian, and their faces were dazed, and they didn't know how Liu Bian managed to make these Xiliang soldiers die in less than a day.

Following Liu Wei into Zheng County, a team of Pu Dao soldiers ran out from behind the team and occupied both sides of the street, and soon the streets in the entire Zheng County were full of Luoyang soldiers wearing red armor.

As he was leading the army along the street towards the hinterland of the county seat, Liu Wei saw a group of cavalry appear in front of him, and the leader was Tai Shici, who was carrying a double halberd behind him.

Riding on horseback, Tai Shici also carried a person in his hand, because the distance was quite far, Liu Wei didn't see who that person was, and could only vaguely distinguish that it was a general of the Xiliang Army.

Seeing Liu Wei coming head-on, Tai Shici hurriedly clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, rode his horse to Liu Bian's approach, and threw the person he was carrying to the ground, first glanced at the person lying on the ground, and then clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Royal Highness, Hu Chi'er and several Xiliang generals killed Niu Fu, robbed his treasure, and tried to escape from the city, but they were blocked by the last general!" Everyone else has been ambushed, but this Hu Chi'er, the last general will not dare to be specialized, and he specially captured him, and asked His Highness to drop it! ”

"Nope! No! As soon as Tai Shici's words fell, he was thrown on the ground and lying on his stomach, his cheeks slammed on the bluestone pavement, rubbing a piece of skin, and Hu Chi'er, who was still bleeding, hurriedly knelt up, looked up with a look full of panic and shouted two steps forward, wanting to get closer to Liu Wei.

He just moved forward twice on his knees, and two Pu Dao soldiers immediately rushed out behind Liu Wei.

The two Pu Dao soldiers rushed in front of Hu Chi'er, and one by one put the Pu Dao on his neck, stopping him from continuing to approach Liu Wei.

With a Pu knife on his neck, Hu Chi'er's body was shocked, she raised her eyes to look at Liu Bian, and shouted to Liu Bian with a panicked face: "Your Highness Mingjian!" The last general killed Niu Fu and his family, and plundered his family property, all to pay tribute to His Royal Highness......"

"You're not a general anymore!" Looking down at Hu Chi'er, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of murder flashed in his eyes, and he said to Hu Chi'er: "Although this king has never met Niu Fu, he knows that you have always been regarded as a confidant by him, and I don't want him to end up in your hands!" Killing Niu Fu will be over, even his family will not let go, the wolf's ambition is so vicious! ”

With murderous intent flashing in his eyes, Liu Wei stared at Hu Chi'er who was kneeling in front of him, waved his hand at the two soldiers who were holding Hu Chi'er's neck with a simple knife, and said to them: "And take this thief down, and wait for this king to appease the soldiers and civilians in the city before he falls!" ”

"Your Highness! I was wronged! Liu Wei said that he was no longer a general, and Hu Chi'er no longer dared to call himself the "last general", and was dragged by the two soldiers, struggling to kneel on the ground again, while shouting that he was wronged.
