Xu Huang shook his head desperately, suspecting that he was too tired to hallucinate, but the soldier quickly handed him the reins of the fire, and then the big axe. It turned out that this personal soldier was originally to replace Xu Huang to command the archers outside the city to suppress the defenders, and seeing Zheng Teng, Yang Ling and others scrambling, they also knew that the thieves couldn't stand it, so they thought about following behind to cut down a few thieves. But seeing Xu Huang's war horse and big axe, he was worried, and he saw Du Peng assembling the cavalry team, obviously preparing to enter the city, and sure enough, the city gate was soon knocked open, Du Peng and others rushed directly into the city, thinking that Xu Huang's usual might was horse warfare, and at this moment the pursuit of thieves was naturally indispensable to war horses and big axes, so he had an idea, abandoned the archers, and rode into the city with a big axe to find Xu Huang.

Seeing that his own military marquis was being blocked by thieves, the soldier was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and shouted: "Marquis, get on the horse, the leader of Zibing is going to run!" ”

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about praising the pro-soldier for turning over the prairie fire, and took the big axe and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the big axe was opened in the thieves and soldiers everywhere, and a bloody road was opened at once.

The soldier looked at the other companions who followed Xu Huang to the wall first, and patted Parma's ass very proudly to follow Xu Huang, obviously he had the opportunity to kill all sides later.

Du Peng and other three hundred cavalry entered the city and directly cut off the road for the thieves to return directly to the county government and the barracks, Han Lian mixed in the group of thieves and soldiers also wanted to take a detour, and was soon found by Xu Huang, Xu Huang had been staring at him before, and at this moment he didn't know that his identity might be exposed.

When Han Lian saw Xu Huang coming over with one horse and one horse, he suddenly became bold, and commanded his own soldiers to go up and trap Xu Huang, but where could those pro-soldiers stop Xu Huang in a panic, it was basically an axe! There are several big axes to sweep around.

Although the thieves around who didn't have war horses also knew that Xu Huang was targeting Han Lian, but seeing that Xu Huang was so fierce, where to catch up and help, they only hated that there were too many people around him and couldn't run away. Fortunately, Xu Huang's target is only Han Lian, so they are safe for the time being, Xu Huang sneered and looked at Han Lian with a panicked face, pulling the reins in his left hand, and slashing several people in his right hand before coming to Han Lian, Han Lian couldn't hide anymore, since this was the case, he would fight for a few rounds first and then look for an opportunity to escape, so he waved the spear in his hand and stabbed Xu Huang.

Xu Huang sneered in his heart when he saw that Han Lian didn't run, and easily flashed the big axe in the spearman's hand and cut off the neck of Han Lian's war horse, Han Lian barely supported himself with the spear and didn't fall directly to the ground, but he also lost the opportunity, and soon Xu Huang's big axe arrived, directly slashing at his shoulder blades, and the right shoulder and the small half of his body were directly split by the big axe.

Han Lian wanted to barely support his body, but it was no longer possible.

Xu Huangzheng didn't know who this armored thief general was, but he heard the surrounding thief soldiers exclaiming: "General Han is dead!" ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, cut off Han Lian's head with a big axe, and raised it with an axe and shouted at the thief soldiers: "Han Lian has already waited for Fal, do you still want to resist?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Huang suddenly fell to his knees in large places.

Li Le took the lead in escaping, Han Lian followed, and Hu Cai was forced to retreat by Du Chong, especially after Yang Ling and others rushed to the city wall, the city wall was occupied by officers and soldiers at once, and it was impossible for the thieves to even climb the city wall from the city, plus the city gate was broken, Li Le and Han Lian fled successively, Hu Cai was not a loyal man, and seeing that the general trend had gone, he had to take his soldiers to detour from the north gate and go directly out of the city.

However, it was said that Du Peng was fighting as a cavalry marquis for the first time, and after entering the city, he was ordered to go to the county office, although there were many county government thieves at the moment, but seeing Du Peng leading the cavalry to come, he scattered and fled after a little resistance. Du Peng did not stay in the county government for a long time, leaving fifty people to watch the county office, and he took the rest of the cavalry to kill the grain depot, which Wei Xuan had explained, and he must not let the thieves take advantage of the chaos to set fire to the grain depot.

The grain depot is under the care of Han Lian's subordinates, and there are as many as 1,000 people, but at this moment, the city is in chaos, and Xu Huang and Du Chong's two troops have successfully entered the city and are chasing and killing thieves everywhere. Zheng Teng and Yang Ling led the troops along the city wall to the north and south gates, and some people in the city were shouting everywhere: "General Han has been killed!" ”

Therefore, the henchmen of more than 1,000 Han Lian were also beating drums in their hearts, and when they saw Du Peng leading the cavalry to arrive, they knew that the general trend had gone, and they scattered after a little resistance.

Xue Li didn't forget that there was Wei Xuan outside the city, he asked Guo Ye to lead people to pursue the thieves, and he returned to the watchtower with his own people, and then surrounded Wei Xuan and entered the city.

It had been two hours since Wei Xuan sat in the lobby of Hazawa.

Because he had the intention of retreating, Li Le was the first to escape from Haoze, and his subordinates also had at least 3,000 people fleeing from Haoze, although Hu Cai ran last, but his more than 7,000 people were all in the West City Gate, so when he led people out of the North Gate, there were still more than 4,000 people under his command. However, after Li Le and Hu Cai left the city, they faced the pursuit of Du Peng's cavalry.

And Han Lian's department has always regarded Haize as a base, even if the city gate was broken and Han Lian was killed, there were still many people who took advantage of the location to resist stubbornly.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Wei Xuan couldn't help but sigh that the reason why this battle went so smoothly was because Yang Feng helped a lot. Of course, Han Lian is stubborn and self-righteous, and self-righteousness is also the main reason.

There were originally 17,800 defenders in the city, but about 7,000 escaped, more than 3,000 or 4,000 were killed in the battle, and the remaining 7,000 were all taken prisoner.

Wei Xuan's one-day siege of the city, coupled with the street fighting after entering the city, also lost nearly 1,000 casualties. When Du Peng and the others came back, they learned that at least a few hundred people had been killed on the road, but after the thieves fled into the mountains and forests, Du Peng also withdrew his troops.

The county magistrate, county Cheng and others in the city were killed as early as when Guo Tai broke the city, and Wei Xuan had no choice but to write to Taishou Yinde and ask him to send someone to guard the county magistrate as soon as possible.

The battle was fierce, the losses were heavy, and the harvest was also quite rich, this was the second base camp of Guo Tai and others, where Han Lian gathered all the grain, grass and money. According to a rough estimate, there are nearly 50,000 stone of grain, and as many as 300 million gold, silver and copper coins.

Wei Xuan was also not ambiguous, in addition to letting the soldiers eat three meals a day, each soldier who participated in the battle was rewarded with 2,000 yuan, and the generals at all levels gradually accumulated, and nearly 30 million were spent at this time, and those who were injured received 10,000 yuan, and the bereaved family members who died were 20,000 yuan.

Of course, the money and property accounts of the casualties should be counted on the head of the Taishou Mansion, plus the spare money of 30 million grain and 10,000 stone as the seizure preparation to deal with the Taishou Mansion, and the rest is naturally private money. For the 7,000 captives in the city, Wei Xuan was ready to screen them one by one, but all those who belonged to the coerced people in the city or the children of various wealthy clans, Wei Xuan promised that they would help defend the city first, and then they could return home after the war was over.

However, Wei Xuan did not plan to return the money and children directly to the local wealthy families like in Xiangling, and it would be good if Wei Xuan could restrain his subordinates from casually entering these people's homes.

After confirming that there are about 2,000 people who belong to the local area of Haoze, it is normal to think about it, they are originally from Huize, and the officers and soldiers have no will to fight, and it is wise to choose to surrender immediately when they see that the city gate is broken.

The remaining 5,000 prisoners, Wei Xuan does not plan to recruit them all, firstly, these people have been thieves for a long time, and secondly, they are just another Sima and not a captain or general, and now the thieves are only left in a lonely city, and if they continue to expand Luoyang, they will also have ideas.

So he asked people to continue to choose among the captives, and selected more than 1,000 people belonging to the children of various wealthy clans in Xiangling City and sent them to Xiangling to hand over to Lin Yi, anyway, he also needed people there.

Han Lian was killed, Li Le and Hu Cai must have gone to the Yi clan to join Yang Feng, and the three of them joined forces, and the strength should still be 17,800 people.

Just when Wei Xuan was discussing how to deal with Yang Feng, he received a letter from Yang Feng on the fourth day after the Battle of Haoze.

Yang Feng's letter posture was very low, saying that he had no grudges with the imperial court and the Wei family, and that he had joined Taiping Dao only to avenge his family. As for killing officials and rebelling, it was completely the intention of Mrs. Guo, Han Lian and others. He occupied Xiangling and Yishi successively, but he did not touch a single county official.

Wei Xuan believes in the last point, because Cheng Linyi of Xiangling County is leading the young and strong defense against thieves in Xiangling.

For Yang Feng's request and Wei Xuan, he can't ask for it, because time is on his side, and now Yang Feng only has a city of Yi in his hands, and if he wants to go north, he must break through Xiangling, as long as he is stuck in Xiangling and Huze, he can only be trapped in the lonely city or plunge into Wangwu Mountain.

He has enough money and food to constantly expand his troops and constantly strengthen the training of his soldiers. Now if these eight or nine thousand people are trained for another month or two, it is absolutely no problem to pull out the thieves to fight one against two or even one team of three, although Zhao Yun is gone, but Xu Huang is brave, Du Peng, Du Chong, Bai Shu and others are all from light heroes, and under Xu Huang's infection, they are now all fighting bravely. He still has 300 cavalry, and in the future, there will be a steady stream of supporting equipment and weapons from the entire Hedong, and Yang Feng will definitely sit on the empty mountain.

Regardless of Yang Feng's purpose, the eagerness to seek peace came from Yang Feng's sincerity, in addition to facing external difficulties, he also needed time to integrate Li Le and Hu Cai's subordinates, so that he had absolute leadership over the Bai Bo Army, and only in this way could he exert his combat power.

Wei Xuan passed Yang Feng's letter to all the military marquis, and most of them were silent, because they were the first to get a glimpse of the way to fight, and they were definitely not afraid of those rabble under Wei Xuan's unified command. But when it comes to strategy, one by one would rather go around the city and run in circles. In the end, Yang Ling stood up and said: "Sima, Ling has two strategies, I don't know if to talk about it or not?" ”
