A black war eagle hovered over Luoyang, and Luoyang had become a sea of fire, the most prosperous city in the Eastern Han Dynasty was set on fire by the Xiliang army, a large number of people and property were looted by the lords of Guanzhong and Xiliang, civilians, chariots, horses, and soldiers blocked the road and went in the direction of Chang'an.

"This time, at least 300,000 people can be driven to Xianyang City, and the population pouring into the Chang'an area is as many as several million, Chu Zimou, I am the biggest winner. Speed up! ”

The old Qin ordered Li Xin to lead 10,000 infantry to drive the plundered population back to the city of Xianyang, which he had rebuilt.

But any great lord with a bit of foresight realized that population was more important than possessions. In the future, wars between the great lords can easily last for several years, and all that is consumed is the youth and strength of the population. Only when there is a population to farm the land can there be money and food.

"Meng Tian, Meng Wu, after you lead the cavalry, I have a bad premonition......

Seeing the war eagle hovering in the sky, Lao Qin felt uneasy.

The lords of Longxi have a greater appetite, and they have taken 500,000 people captive at a time, intending to bring them back to enrich Longxi. The people of Longxi are fierce, and the soldiers are very strong in combat, but the population is not large, and someone needs to farm and graze.

A group of light cavalry galloped in, serving as Dong Zhuo's scouts stationed behind the Tiger Pass.

"The Kwantung princes have captured the Tiger Prison Pass!"

"The princes of the Twenty-fifth Route are marching towards Luoyang, driving straight in!"

The cavalry scout brought the news back, and Dong Zhuo and the lords of Dong Zhuo's camp were immediately panicked. The Tiger Prison Pass, which was defended by an army of 50,000 troops, was thus captured!

All the lords were busy looting Luoyang, and no one wanted the queen to be cannon fodder, causing the Kwantung princes to march aggressively!

The only one who could stop the Kwantung princes was Dong Zhuo.

"Xu Rong is overwhelmed!"

Dong Zhuo was greatly annoyed, but he didn't know that Xu Rong had been sold to the Kwantung Coalition Army by Li Dao and Hua Xiong, who had escaped in advance, and became a prisoner at this time.

"Which way did the princes capture the Tiger Prison Pass?"

"Langya Prime Minister Chu Zimou, Dongjun Taishou Cao Mengde, Zhongshan Prime Minister Liu Xuande ......"

"It's Chu Zimou again!" Dong Zhuo was a little frightened by Chu Tian, and he was afraid of his life-saving benefactor and enemy, "After serving the first palace, I will block the thieves in the Kanto region!" ”

Lü Bu's Bingzhou army was sent by Dong Zhuo to the palace to stop the pursuit of the Kwantung princes.

Lu Bu, who received the order from His Royal Highness, did not look very good. No matter how high his force is, it will not help, but it is the princes of the Twenty-five Roads and a number of alien lords who have entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and many of the fierce generals have the same force as him, and the strength of the troops is much different.

But now Lu Bu, who has taken refuge in Dong Zhuo and has nowhere to go, can only take Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals to command and the state army.

The Inhuman Lord knew that if he was caught up by the Kwantung princes at this time, all the population and spoils of war would be lost, so he also sent a force to the empress.

Li Wei came to Luoyang with the Flying Bear Army, Hua Xiong with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and a large number of light cavalry, and found that Luoyang had been burned.

"If the tiger prison is lost, the lord must be blamed. It's better to ambush the princes all the way, behead a few, and go back to have an explanation, just say that we will wait for the battle, outnumbered, and then retreat. ”

The two of them couldn't grab the property, and they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's blame, so they began to set up an ambush and break the princes all the way.

Yuan Shu and the general Ji Ling and others led tens of thousands of Nanyang soldiers to pursue Dong Zhuo, and there were people fleeing from the desert everywhere, Yuan Shu and others could not control the soldiers, and the soldiers plundered among these people.

At this time, the importance of the commander came out, and Yuan Shu and others lacked ability, so they had to let the soldiers loot.

The ground trembled slightly, and Yuan Shu thought that he had misheard, but he soon saw a Xiliang light cavalry making a detour from the flanks, intending to cut off his rear route!

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, dressed in heavy armor, appeared under the leadership of Hua Xiong, and hundreds of heavy cavalry launched a charge......

"Yuan Shu's army was defeated by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!"

Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others, who were chasing Dong Zhuo in the rear, were shocked when they heard the news, and they were afraid of the horror of Xiliang Tie's riding in the plain area, and hesitated.

"Keep the pursuit!"

The ten princes, including Chu Tian, knew that the Xiliang Legion was already at the end of the strong crossbow, so they bullied Yuan Shu, so they commanded the soldiers and horses to surpass Yuan Shao and others and went to pursue.

Chu Tian ordered Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan, and Li Guang to lead the light cavalry to capture the prisoners in the front, while Zhou Yafu in the rear counted the prisoners.

The civilian Chutian could not take it away, because it was difficult to supply food, but the war horses and the Western Liang cavalry were very important to Chu Tian, and he specially asked the Western Liang cavalry and war horses to be captured, and then tried to use the teleportation array to send them back to Langya Kingdom.

20,000 Liaodong cavalry swept past the Chutian Legion like a black cloud.

"There are really many cavalry in Liaodong......"

Chu Tian saw the Liaodong cavalry all over the mountains, and there was a bit of greed in his eyes.

The lords outside the pass are under a lot of pressure, not only to fight the lords of the pass, but also to sweep away the nomadic tribes, and to face the pressure of other civilized areas. But their advantage is that a large number of excellent war horses are produced in the territory every year, and the difficulty of forming a large-scale cavalry corps is much less than that of the lord of Kannai.

After Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Military Palace, he guarded the area of Luoyang, and happened to meet Guan Ming's cavalry, and the Bingzhou cavalry clashed with the Liaodong cavalry!

The three Liaodong cavalry generals led the Liaodong cavalry to meet Lu Bu, but they did not retreat, and one of the fierce generals even wanted to fight Lu Bu!

"Liaodong Taishou is at war with Lu Bu's Bingzhou army!"

"He was not defeated by Lu Bu, and the two sides were at a stalemate!"

"The Lian Po Legion is approaching the Bingzhou Army!"

The battle reports from the front came one after another, and Dong Zhuo, under the pressure of the Kwantung Qunxiong, ordered Li Dao and Huaxiong to abandon the defense of the Tiger Pass, and at the same time sent Guo Yan to reinforce Lu Bu.

Both camps are now a little chaotic, with Luoyang as the center of the scuffle, while Dong Zhuo and a group of lords drove out of Luoyang with hundreds of officials, population, and livestock, as long as they passed the Hangu Pass, then the defenders would not be able to catch up for a while and a half.

"The world-famous Lu Fengxian, but that's it!"

Mingguan's general Liaodong cavalry fought with Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry several times in a row, but was not overwhelmed by Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and with the numerical advantage of Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry, there was a possibility of annexing the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in one fell swoop!

"Capture Lu Bu alive and escort him to Liaodong!"

Mingguan wanted to get Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf to ride to fight Goryeo. Throwing Lu Bu, a hungry wolf, into Goryeo would cause great damage to Goryeo.

Although the number of generals in Mingguan was not large, they were all cavalry generals, which brought a huge bonus to the Liaodong cavalry, Li Chengliang led part of the cavalry to drag Zhang Liao, and Zu Dashou dragged other soldiers and horses.

"Lord, the other side has a group of heavy infantry, and the general's cavalry has suffered heavy losses!"

Just as Mingguan's attention was on Lu Bu, Zu Dashou's personal soldiers came to report to Mingguan.

"Heavy infantry? Could it be that you are trapped in the camp?! ”

Mingguan thought of Lu Bu's subordinate Gao Shun, a camp with seven hundred people and a thousand people!

In "Lord", the trap camp is a high-level heavy infantry, and because of the scarcity of numbers, maybe the rank will be very high.

"I'm short of a heavy infantry general to use to suppress the formation, and I can just use Gao Shun to fill the vacancy."

Mingguan, under the escort of his own soldiers, went to the battlefield where Zu Dashou was fighting.

Zu Dashou was divided into 4,000 Liaodong cavalry, and he was confronting the infantry of the Bingzhou army.

In the middle of the military formation of the state army, there were about several hundred heavy infantry with guns and shields, and about 2.5-3 meters of spears pointed straight ahead.

"This shouldn't be a trap, just ordinary heavy infantry."

Mingguan easily recognized that the heavy infantry on the opposite side was not trapped.

Maybe even Lu Bu hasn't had time to recruit the trap camp for Gao Shun, or the recruitment conditions for the trap camp are too harsh, even Lu Bu hasn't achieved it.

Even so, the heavy infantry with a high shun bonus is already very impressive.

Not long ago, Zu Dashou tried to use the light cavalry to disrupt the opponent's phalanx, but in vain, he was counterattacked by the crossbowmen behind the heavy infantry, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded.

Behind Gao Shun were Lu Bu's generals Wei Xu, Song Xian and others commanding light infantry and archers.

The infantry phalanx with Gao Shun was as solid as a rock and was not easy to attack.

"Wait for the other princes to arrive, none of them can escape."

Mingguan did not forcibly attack the infantry phalanx composed of Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals. The light cavalry forced the infantry phalanx on the waiting line, but they were only killing themselves.

The princes of all walks of life were fighting near Luoyang, and Chutian was also in trouble.

Li Guang took 300 Western Han archers and cavalry, and on the way, he ran into Li Wei's Flying Bear Army, and was driven back by the Flying Bear Army.

Upon learning that Li Dao's Flying Bear Army had appeared nearby, Chu Tian ordered the army to slow down its march and begin to retract to prevent it from being attacked by the other side.

The previous battle had shown that Li Dao and Hua Xiong might act together, and Chu Tian had to guard against it.

In the plain terrain, it was hit by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Hua Xiong from the flank, and the whole army might collapse.

Li Dao appeared with the Flying Bear Army, and Zhou Yafu set aside the fine willow battalion, the shooting sound battalion, and the low-level infantry archers to confront Li Dao.

"The Flying Bear Army should be a high-level light cavalry that focuses on speed, plus the Xiliang Iron Cavalry as a high-level heavy cavalry...... If anyone can catch Li Dao and Hua Xiong at the same time, the cooperation of the two people's arms can cause a lot of trouble to the enemy. ”

Chu Tian wanted to capture Li Dao alive.

However, Li Dao saw that there was no chance, so he left with the Flying Bear Army.

Chutian continued to march.

He was now very close to Luoyang, and he could see billowing black smoke. Dong Zhuo really set fire to Luoyang, and the largest and most prosperous city in the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed.

Luoyang has a large number of top-notch buildings, and it is a pity that they were burned down like this.

Now the largest city in the Eastern Han District has become Chang'an.

When Chutian's soldiers and horses arrived, there were more and more princes around, and Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Tongque and other princes arrived one after another, and they saw Luoyang City in flames, and they couldn't do anything.

The fire that swept the whole city could not be saved by hundreds of thousands of troops, because it was difficult to carry water.

All the princes who witnessed the fire of Luoyang realized that the order of the Eastern Han court had been destroyed, and the next time was the era of division of the powers.

The princes who join forces are likely to become enemies.

In the future, the war between the princes may be even more tragic than the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

"Kuang Fu Han Room is just a dream."

Liu Bei's eyes reflected the blazing firelight, and the prosperous Luoyang City turned into ashes in the raging fire, like a dream. The great dynasty was set on fire to the national capital, how to save it?

The Son of Heaven should have been high up and represented the herdsmen of heaven, but in troubled times, he was powerless to protect himself.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian also had their own ideas, and their enthusiasm for saving the court was extinguished, and their eyes were a little tired. In particular, Sun Jian, who suppressed the Yellow Turban Army and the Xiliang Rebels for the Han Dynasty, saw the fire burning Luoyang for several days and fell into contemplation.

Mingguan was originally at war with Lu Bu. Lü Bu saw more and more princes appearing, so he slowly withdrew his troops.

"Now is not the time to be shocked by the burning of Luoyang City! Dong Zhuo's army was in front, carrying people and property, the daily march was slow, and Lu Bu was defeated and retreated, it was the right time to pursue him! ”

After Ming Guan killed Lü Bu, there were only more than 10,000 Liaodong cavalry left around him, and he found that his strength was not enough to destroy Lü Bu's Bingzhou army, so he instigated other princes to pursue with him.

"That's right, hunt down Dong Zhuo immediately! Save the Son of Heaven! ”

Liu Bei took the lead in responding to the peace.

Since Chu Tian and other powerful princes have already reached Luoyang, it is better to take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Dong Zhuo all the way.

"The cavalry goes first, pursues day and night, and the infantry is behind."

In order to catch up with Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, Chu Tian used light cavalry.

The rest of the princes did the same.

Only the light cavalry can have enough mobility to run.

Dong Zhuo and the Guanzhong lords brought the population and baggage, presumably the marching speed would not be very fast.

Hussars are a class that can do wonders!

"Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, Hua Mulan, you go to pursue, the war horses, generals, gold and silver, you can take all the captives, and the population will be counted."

Chu Tian considered that he had no food in Luoyang, and saving the people of Luoyang would only make them starve to death, so he did not consider accepting the population of Luoyang.

When there is enough food, the population is a resource, and when the army is marching and fighting, the population is a burden.

All the light cavalry was sent out to pursue Dong Zhuo, and Chu Tian followed Zhou Yafu and Fang Xuanling to respond.

If it weren't for the lack of war horses, Chu Tian even planned to equip every infantry and archer with a war horse to increase their mobility.

Compared with Chu Tian, who was marching in the rear, Prince Yan, Huo An and other lords personally led the cavalry of Western Liaoxi and the cavalry of the Western Regions to pursue. They have become accustomed to fighting on horseback.

"When my force can have eighty or ninety, I dare to rush to the front in person."

Chu Tian noticed that the lords of the territory at the border pass would almost always follow the cavalry in person. In contrast, the lords of the Kannai generally hid in the middle or rear army.

Mingguan saw that the number of light cavalry sent by the princes of various roads was at least fifty or sixty thousand, and he was about to pursue it with other cavalry, and a group of cavalry arriving from Chenliu County found Mingguan: "Lord Lord, the lord of Goryeo is attacking Xiangping County, and the army division is trying to resist, the enemy is huge, please return to Liaodong!" ”

"The group of lords of the Goryeo Kingdom, it's not bad if I don't take the initiative to crusade against them, I didn't expect them to dare to attack Liaodong. Fortunately, I left the military advisor ......."

Mingguan weighed the pros and cons, and said to the generals under his command: "Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, Zu Dashou, we give up the pursuit and return to Liaodong to fight the Koreans!" ”
