On the same day that Shao Xun Xianyi arrived at the Yuyuan Pass, Wang Mi's main force set off from Yanshi County in batches.

The 20,000 people of the pioneer Liu Lingbu left one day earlier.

Wang Mibu set out on the second day of the fifth month.

The travel of the army, especially the travel of troops of the quality of Wang Miyi, is more complicated.

The first group set out before dawn, the second group left the camp at dawn, and the third group ......

It wasn't until the afternoon that the chaotic righteous teacher was almost clean - Wang Sang led more than 10,000 people to stay behind to stop the possible pursuers.

However, although the righteous teacher is chaotic, it is much more tidy than when he first broke through Xuchang in April.

Those who disobeyed orders and ran around were attacked head-on by Shao Xun.

The mind is unpredictable, but he just follows the thieves who take advantage of it and escapes halfway.

Sending to death also sent a large part of the cannon fodder.

All this has succeeded in slimming down the righteous teacher, and the whole is more refined.

Actually, that's what the rogues look like.

If you fight him and win a series of big victories, as long as you don't cause serious damage to his main elite, but only drop a few pieces of loose fat from his body, it doesn't hurt, because they will constantly "lose meat" during long marches, whether they have experienced battle or not.

The march into Luoyang was exciting for Wang Mi.

No matter how quiet and capable he was before, how cunning and cruel he was, after all, he was a native of Jin, and he naturally had a sense of awe for the Sons of Heaven in Luoyang. But this awe, when alienated in the heart, is cruel and tyrannical, and there is an urge to destroy it.

At this time, he was riding on the back of a horse, surrounded by the "Harrier Battalion" cavalry composed of more than 1,000 elite old thieves.

The source of the Harrier Battalion is very miscellaneous, more than half of them are from Qingzhou, in addition to the remnants of Jisang who have dispersed, the Xuzhou official army who deserted, some of the Haoqiang in Yanzhou and the elite troops of the Xiaoshi clan, and so on.

The peripheral cannon fodder of the rogue is changed all year round, and even many people are replaced after a battle, but the personnel turnover rate of this elite backbone battalion is not so high, unless it suffers a devastating blow.

Before and after the Harrier Battalion, there were also Taishan, Zhongjian, Trapping, Wuqian and other battalions, each with three or four thousand people.

Of course, there weren't so many people before, but in the last two or three months, the expansion has been a bit fast, which makes Wang Mi feel a little worried - many people come with weapons to vote, and at first glance they have suspicious origins, either routs or bandits, untested, and average loyalty.

But now they need to fight, but they have to be polite, and they will be rectified after Luoyang is defeated.

Sometimes it's not a bad thing to eat too much, as long as you have time to digest it.

The scale of 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry is huge, and the entire marching army column stretches to dozens of miles, vast and boundless.

There are still many people in the counties and townships along the way.

Some scattered hundreds of families lived together and built an earthen enclosure. There is not even a soil fence, a circle is enclosed with a wooden fence, calling itself "dock wall", at this time, someone led the troops to rush over, and what can be taken by a drum is directly snatched up, and Ding Zhuang pulled into the army and became a peripheral soldier.

Some of the earthen enclosures were thicker, and the people were more courageous, and if they could not take a drum, they forced them to pay some money and grain.

As for those dock forts that look larger, don't bother with that. It's not that you can't beat it, it's not worth it. Wait until one day when you become a sitting tiger and then come to clean up, I don't believe they won't surrender.

On the fourth day of the first month of May, the pioneer Liu Lingbu had arrived in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang.

At this time, Shao Xun, Mi Huang, and Chen Yan combined more than 10,000 troops, and they also left Yuyuan Pass and advanced in the direction of Yanshi.

At this time, Luoyang was undergoing the final mobilization before the war.

******

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the second year of Yongjia (308), Wang Mi's people arrived at the city of Luoyang one after another. Because of the large number of people, the whole army has nearly 80,000 people, so it is distributed in the south of the city and the east of the city.

Among them, Wang Mi's camp is set up outside the Jianchun Gate, and there are about 50,000 thieves in the east of the city.

There are seven or eight thousand partial divisions in the north of the city, which are only used for harassment.

On the same day, Liu Ling led more than 20,000 people to move to the south of the city, and his people personally led 500 horsemen and 3,000 foot soldiers to the Jinyang Gate to call for battle.

At this time, Shao Xun had already led his troops to Yanshi.

Wang Sang was a little anxious, because he really didn't have any troops at hand that could fight, and after going out of the city to fight, he was defeated, so he retreated into the city and did not dare to fight.

Shao Xun left thousands of people in Chen Yan's department to monitor the thief army, and took silver guns, long swords, Yamen and other troops and 3,000 soldiers from the Captain Department of the Division to the west and drove to Luoyang.

After Liu Ling called for a battle outside the city, the Jinyang Gate was opened, and the left guard general He Lun, the cavalry general Wang Hu, and the Liangzhou governor Beigong Chunsan led more than 3,000 people out of the city.

Liu Ling climbed on the roof of a house and overlooked the officers and soldiers.

He encountered the same dilemma as the people and horses who had entered Luoyang all over the time, there were too many houses outside the city, most of them were of very good quality, and it was very difficult to demolish, so he could not put too many troops on it, and could only carry out this kind of battle with "thousands" as a unit.

The officers and soldiers dispatched 3,000 infantry, 3,400 cavalry, and—hey, this group of foot soldiers who came out first is so strange!

Liu Ling looked intently, and saw that more than 100 soldiers were extremely tall and powerful, even if they were wearing two layers of armor, holding large shields and halberds, their pace was still not slow.

Looking at their formation, it is even more bizarre.

The non-traditional Central Plains infantry formation—in fact, more than a hundred people can't form any formation—faintly in groups of several people, the one holding the big shield has the best strength, the shield is simply one person high, which will be very rare here, and the shield hand is not a ring-head sword, but a sword.

Behind the shield hand, one person held a halberd, and it seemed to be powerful.

One man was armed with a spear and appeared to have a short spear on his back.

What kind of play is this? Liu Ling couldn't understand it.

Well, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't think much about it, so he gives the order directly: five hundred cavalry rush.

After the order was given, the five hundred horsemen went out of the formation, first running in small steps, then slowly speeding up, and then relying on the fact that there were many people on their own side and few people on the other side, they actually rushed forward directly.

It was a replica of the battle of Jieqiao that year, Gongsun Zan used more than 10,000 cavalry to bully Yuan Shao's 800 foot soldiers, and he directly scolded-coincidentally, Yuan Shao's 800 foot soldiers are also inseparable from Liangzhou, "(Koji) Yijiu is in Liangzhou, Xiao Xi Qiang fights, and the soldiers are all sharp."

Five hundred horsemen rushed in, directly breaking away the formation of more than 100 foot soldiers.

Liu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't be happy for long, but found that the more than 100 people were scattered but not chaotic, and they didn't form a formation to fight with the cavalry.

They worked in groups of three, one of whom stuck his shield on the ground, with feet behind it, to face the cavalry charge.

One of them was not afraid, brandishing a heavy halberd to smash the cavalry on horseback, or simply hooking the horse's legs, looking at their faces full of hideous roars, as if they had made up their minds to exchange their lives for their lives, fierce and murderous.

The other person directly held the throwing spear and threw one with a "whoosh", which was accurate and ruthless, and the middle one was killed instantly, screaming and falling off the horse.

They would sometimes stand firm on the ground, stab at the cavalry with their spears, and their eyes widened angrily - you stab me, I will stab you, whoever blinks first is a coward, dare to fight for their lives?

Not surprisingly, the 500 horsemen only rushed in for a short period of time before people flipped on their backs, and countless people fell to the ground.

The subsequent cavalry was attacked by spears and fell one by one, which was spectacular.

"Kill the thief!" Some halberders charged forward, and struck at the horsemen who had lost their speed and were turning their horses.

Or stabbing or chopping or smashing, brave and fierce.

Led by them, shieldmen, pikemen, and spearmen also rushed forward and charged against the cavalry.

Some of the enemy horsemen went around to the flanks and took out their horned bows and shot arrows.

But the Liangzhou infantry quickly reacted, the sword and shield infantry blocked it with a big shield, and the spear thrower went up again, throwing them one by one, as if they had been practicing for many years, throwing spears and hitting wherever they wanted, and they were extremely accurate.

After shooting the opponent on his back, the sword and shield infantry stepped forward, took the shield and smashed it directly on the enemy rider who staggered after falling off the horse, and then quickly stabbed out a sword, killing the thief on the spot.

A mere hundred people, facing the siege of 500 cavalry, did not see a trace of panic, and fought in an orderly manner, as if they had faced this kind of scene countless times in their past military careers.

The enemy cavalry quickly retreated, and it can even be said that they fled in all directions.

More than 100 Liangzhou heavy infantry killed their temperament and chased after the cavalry and rushed fiercely.

While chasing, they roared angrily, and after casually killing the more than ten thief horsemen who fell behind, they directly crashed into the large array of thieves' foot soldiers.

"Kill!" The indomitable Liangzhou warriors knocked the thieves in the front row to pieces.

"Knock knock knock ......" The drum beats, and He Lun, the general of the Left Guard, grabbed the fighter plane and pressed the forbidden army foot soldiers.

"Kill!" The three thousand foot soldiers watched for a long time, and their morale was already greatly boosted, and their blood was boiling, and they would line up in a neat queue, following the footsteps of more than a hundred Liangzhou warriors, and rushed towards the already panicked thief soldiers.

Even the elite infantry carefully cultivated by Liu Ling, even if many of them were fugitive soldiers and had combat experience, even if they had 3,000 people, they were still in a hurry in the face of the unreasonable fighting style of more than 100 Liangzhou heavy armored infantry, and gradually showed a tendency to collapse.

And when the left guard of the forbidden army followed, there was no suspense about the outcome of the victory.

In this battle, Beigong Chun selected more than 100 warriors to break through the formation, first break the enemy cavalry, and then rush the infantry, almost no one can stop them.

Wang Mi's thieves, who had been passing through Henan for more than a month, suffered a humiliating rout at Jinyangmen.

Liangzhou 鸱苕 (chi tiáo), 寇thief elimination.

Dancing and terrifying.

I don't know how Wang Mi will feel when the results of the battle of Jinyangmen reach Jianchunmen.
