Before dawn the next day, Wang Rong got up, he didn't sleep well all night, and the whole person was a little groggy. Wang Wei asked Wang Xu to bring in a basin of cold water, buried his face in the basin and sobered up, then put on clothes and armor, and hung his sword on his waist.

He drank a bowl of porridge and rode around. In the camp of the armies, the fire has not yet been extinguished, but it is already lively and noisy. In the distance, a military general shouted, "Eat half full, don't eat too much, or you will lose your strength!"

This is Wang Rong's order when he led the troops before, he has set some small rules, he is indeed a person who pays attention to details. Because when you are full, the blood is concentrated in the intestines for digestion, which will cause a lack of energy, and it is easier to take the folk saying: "Lazy, hungry, and panicked."

All the troops were ready, and they went out of camp in groups and set up camp in the east. Each battalion had a large flag, but the light of the torches was insufficient, and it was not clear to see, and many heralds shuttled between the various formations to communicate the direction of the numbers of each department.

Wang Rong also came to the battlefield with the army, and the large array of tens of thousands of people was already a very huge scene.

It was just dawn, the sun was far from rising, the air was moist, and a mist hung over the air. Wang Rong looked eastward, and could already see the shadow of the tall tower in Luoyang City. In this hazy mist, the tower looks even taller and more majestic, or gives the illusion of standing in the clouds.

The military formation was still far away from Luoyang City, leaving enough space for the Yu army to go out of the city and line up. The armies waited as they set up.

After a long time, I suddenly saw a fire in the distance bursting out of the stars. Immediately, someone reported: "The Yu army is out of the city!"

Wang Rong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what tricks Zhang Liang had, what he wanted was Luoyang, Henan County.

There were more and more fires in the distance, and a large number of Yu army infantry and cavalry poured out of the city in groups, and the Yu army really wanted to fight a decisive battle?! Wang Rong sat on his horse and calmly watched the scene ahead.

After a long time, suddenly a scout galloped from the south and went straight to the tallest square yellow banner of the Tang army. The scout jumped off his horse and said hurriedly, "Qi Qi Sheng, the south gate of Luoyang is wide open, and the cavalry of the Yu army has rushed out of the city!"

Wang Rong was slightly stunned when he heard this, this matter was expected, and it seemed to be unexpected.

Zhang Liang really wants to break through!

At the south gate of Luoyang City, the cavalry of the Yu army swarmed out, and the sound of horses' hooves roared, completely breaking the tranquility of the early morning, and a large number of men and horses rushed diagonally to the southeast.

Zhang Liang galloped out of the city on horseback, watching the scene in the wilderness, the Tang army's siege fortifications were more than half a mile from the city wall; Because it's too close, it's going to be attacked by the heavy weapons of the city. The circumference is longer than the circumference of Luoyang City, and it is estimated that it is sixty miles. The Tang army was surrounded on three sides on a 60-mile front, and even if there were hundreds of thousands of troops, they could not deploy heavy troops everywhere

And his elite troops gathered outside the west gate of Luoyang City, Zhang Liang believed that the concentration of the elite cavalry of the Yu army to break through a defensive line would almost certainly succeed. As long as the speed is fast enough and not surrounded by the cavalry of the Tang Army, it is still possible to run away.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Yu army rode their horses and rushed forward. The Yuyang army was trapped in the lonely city, and knew that there was no hope for reinforcements, and their morale was extremely low. However, once it was time to break through, morale was high, after all, everyone was here to survive.

Zhang Liang shouted: "Luoyang City is no longer defensible, our army will attack in two ways and fight to the death with the Tang army!"

The generals only care about rushing, what is the decisive battle? As long as they break out of the encirclement, everyone clearly understands in their stomachs, and they can only hold the three leaders of Henan County hostage and run south.

The exciting iron horse, the roaring and galloping charge, the blood of the battlefield is ignited again.

But Zhang Liang was not happy, he looked at the hazy road ahead, first of all, the siege fortifications of the Tang army, and then the encirclement and interception of the cavalry, and the farther plain was also full of danger. The thorny road ahead makes people's hearts very heavy.

He looked back at Luoyang, this ancient city, leaving too many family members who couldn't take it away, and the national prestige of the Yu State that he couldn't take away.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the night sky, the sound of strings sounded intensively, and faintly, the rain of arrows was flying. Groups of Yu cavalry galloped and fired arrows in front of earthen walls and wooden fences. The fire shone brightly in all directions, and shouts erupted.

A group of Yu cavalry dismounted and carried away heavily in front of a walled gate

of the rejection of horses. Behind the wooden wall of the gate, rows of archers took turns firing arrows. There is a walled gate in the next section of fortifications, and the Tang army repaired this fortification mainly not for defense, but for attack, and there must be a convenient place to enter and exit.

Inside the walled gate, there is also a tall wooden arrow tower. As soon as Zhang Liang looked up, he really saw two archers pedaling on their horses, desperately opening their bows and releasing arrows downward.

The cavalry of the Yu army braved the rain of arrows and desperately rushed to the gate of the village, and people continued to fall off their horses with arrows, and the horses neighed and knelt on the ground, which was miserable. But the cavalry of the Yu army went forward one after another, rushed to the walled gate, some put arrows inside, and some held iron bones and screamed and smashed the walled gate.

Another soldier climbed to the top of the gate, and suddenly there was a scream, he was stabbed in the abdomen, fell from above, and curled up on the ground and shouted for his mother.

Zhang Liang looked back to the left and right, and the earthen wall was full of people crawling everywhere.

At this moment, a horse galloped over and shouted, "Du Shuai, there is a gate in the east that has been captured by us, Du Shuai will go first!"

Zhang Liang listened to the pat of the horse and left, Li De beside him loyally carried the ring head knife and followed him one step without leaving, and even Pang Xun, the guard of Luoyang Town, put on his armor and followed Zhang Liang to the east like a fire pit.

Zhang Liang galloped to the gap, and sure enough, he saw the gate of the village open. The cavalry of the Yu army was swarming in, and a group of Tang infantry rushed up in a mess without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and were immediately divided and scattered by the cavalry, and the iron sword and spear were condescending, and the screams of killing were everywhere.

The Tang army on duty in the second line of defense was even thinner, and they failed to gather men and horses in a hurry. Even if they gather, the Yu army can also evade it with maneuver.

Zhang Liang led a large force of cavalry to rush forward, unstoppable. Before and after the cavalry, the cavalry crackled, and the living creatures that approached the cavalry were all shot into a sieve by the cavalry rushing by.

But to break through the defensive line, you have to maneuver with the Tang cavalry on the vast plains to the south. Only after passing the Yuyuan (Y) pass, Zhang Liang can be regarded as passing the first ghost gate.

He looked back again, and it was many times before. The city was surrounded by the vast firelight, and perhaps this was the last time he saw the city.
