Chapter 213 Fire in Luoyang(1/2)

A black war eagle hovered over Luoyang, and Luoyang had turned into 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, carriages and horses,

The soldiers blocked the road and headed towards Chang'an.

"This time we can drive at least 300,000 people to Xianyang City, and the number of people pouring into the Chang'an area is as high as several million. Chu Zimou, I am the biggest winner. Speed ​​up the journey!"

Jiujiang Lao Qin ordered Li Xin to lead 10,000 infantry to drive the looted population back to the Xianyang City he rebuilt.

But any big lord with some foresight realizes that population is more important than property. In the future, wars between big lords can easily last for several years, consuming only the young and strong among the population. Only with the population can we have money.

There is food.

"Meng Tian, ​​Meng Wu, you lead the cavalry to the rear, I have a bad feeling..."

Jiujiang Lao Qin felt uneasy when he saw the war eagle circling in the sky.

The lords of Longxi had a greater appetite and plundered half a million people at one time, intending to take them back to enrich Longxi. The people of Longxi were fierce and the soldiers had strong combat effectiveness, but the population was not large and they needed people to farm and herd.

A group of light cavalry galloped over to serve as Dong Zhuo's scouts stationed behind Hulao Pass.

"The princes of Guandong have captured Hulao Pass!"

"Twenty-five princes are marching towards Luoyang, march straight in!"

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

All the lords were busy looting Luoyang, and no one wanted to use the rear as cannon fodder, which allowed the Kwantung princes to march in large numbers!

The only one who can stop the princes of Guandong is Dong Zhuo.

"Xu Rong cannot be reused!"

Dong Zhuo was furious, but he didn't know that Xu Rong had been sold to the Kwantung Allied Forces by Li Jue and Hua Xiong, who had escaped early, and was now a prisoner.

"Which prince captured Hulao Pass?"

"Langya Prime Minister Chu Zimou, Dongjun Prefect 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 savior and enemy, "My son will go first to the rear to stop the thieves from Guandong!"

Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army was sent to the rear by Dong Zhuo to prevent the Kwantung princes from pursuing them.

Lu Bu's face was not very good after receiving the order from the Queen. No matter how powerful he was, it was useless. Those who attacked Hulao Pass were twenty-five princes and a group of alien lords. Many of the fierce generals were not much different from him in terms of military force.

, the military strength is even more different.

But now that he had taken refuge with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, who had nowhere to go, could only bring Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals to the rear of the Bingzhou Army.

Lord Yiren knew that if he was overtaken by the Kanto princes at this time, all the population and loot would be lost, so he also sent an army to the rear.

Li Jue led the Flying Bear Army, and Hua Xiong led the Xiliang cavalry and a large number of light cavalry to Luoyang. They found that Luoyang had been burned. After some discussion, they found that they could not go back to see Dong Zhuo like this.

"The lord must be blamed for the fall of Hulao Pass. It would be better to ambush all the princes and behead a few of them. Then we can have an explanation when we go back. Just say that we fought with all our strength and were outnumbered, so we retreated."

The two men could not grab the property and were afraid of Dong Zhuo's reproach, so they began to set up an ambush to defeat the princes along the way.

Yuan Shu, General Ji Ling and others led tens of thousands of Nanyang soldiers to pursue Dong Zhuo. There were people fleeing everywhere. Yuan Shu and others could not control the soldiers, so the soldiers looted and looted among the people.

At this time, the importance of commander-in-chief came out. Yuan Shu and others were not capable enough, so they had to let the soldiers loot.

The ground shook slightly, and Yuan Shu thought he heard wrongly, but he soon saw a Xiliang light cavalry making a detour from the flank, intending to cut off his retreat!

Xiliang cavalry wearing 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 cavalry!"

Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others who were chasing Dong Zhuo in the rear were shocked when they heard the news. They were afraid of the terror of the Xiliang cavalry in the plains and hesitated to move forward.

"Keep chasing!"

The ten princes, including Chu Tian, ​​knew that the Xiliang army was at the end of its war effort, so they bullied Yuan Shu, so they led their troops to surpass Yuan Shao and others and went to pursue them.

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

Chu Tian could not take away the civilians because food was difficult to supply, but the war horses and Xiliang cavalry were very important to Chu Tian. He specially ordered the Xiliang cavalry and war horses to be captured, and then tried to use the teleportation array to send them back to Langya Kingdom.

Twenty thousand Liaodong cavalry passed by the Chutian Army like black clouds.

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

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

The lords outside the pass are under a lot of pressure. They have to fight the lords inside the pass, wipe out the nomadic tribes, and face pressure from other civilized areas. But their advantage is that a large number of excellent war horses are produced in the territory every year, and large-scale cavalry regiments are formed.

The difficulty is much less than that of the lord in the pass.

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Army to the rear and guarded the Luoyang area. They happened to meet Guan Ming's cavalry, and the Bingzhou cavalry clashed with the Liaodong cavalry!

Three Liaodong cavalry generals led the Liaodong cavalry to attack Lu Bu without retreating. One of the fierce generals even wanted to fight Lu Bu!

"The governor of Liaodong is at war with Lu Bu's Bingzhou army!"

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

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

Battle reports from the front came one after another. Under the pressure of the heroes in the Kanto region, Dong Zhuo ordered Li Jue to abandon the defense of Hulao Pass and Hua Xiong to rear. At the same time, he sent Guo Si to reinforce Lu Bu.

The two camps are now in some confusion, with Luoyang as the center. Dong Zhuo and a group of lords are driving officials, people, and livestock to leave Luoyang. As long as they pass Hangu Pass, the defenders will not be able to catch up for a while.

"The world-famous Lu Fengxian is nothing more than this!"

Mingguan's general Zong Liaodong Cavalry fought against Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry several times, but was not overwhelmed by Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. With their numerical advantage, they fought back and forth with Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and even annexed Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in one fell swoop.

possible!

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

Mingguan wanted to get Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Rider to attack the Koryo Kingdom. Throwing Lu Bu's hungry wolf into the Koryo Kingdom would cause huge damage to the Koryo Kingdom.

Although the number of generals at Mingguan was not large, they were all cavalry generals, which brought a huge bonus to the Liaodong cavalry. Li Chengliang led some cavalry to hold back Zhang Liao, while Zu Dashou held back other soldiers and horses.

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

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

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

Ming Guan thought of Lu Bu's general Gao Shun, who numbered seven hundred and was said to be trapped in a camp of a thousand men!

In "Lords", the trapped camp is a high-level heavy infantry, and because the number is small, the level may be very high.

"I am lacking a heavy infantry general to hold down the formation, and I can fill the gap with Gao Shun."

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

Zu Dashou was assigned four thousand Liaodong cavalry and was confronting the infantry of the Bingzhou Army.

In the middle of the Bingzhou Army's formation, there were about a few hundred heavy infantrymen holding guns and shields, and about 2.5-3 meters long spears pointing straight ahead.

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

Mingguan could easily tell that the heavy infantry on the opposite side was not trapped in the camp.

Maybe even Lu Bu hasn't had time to recruit Gao Shun into the trapped camp, or maybe the recruiting conditions for the trapped camp are too harsh, and even Lu Bu hasn't met them.

Even so, heavy infantry with a high Shun bonus is already amazing.

Not long ago, Zu Dashou tried to use light cavalry to disrupt the opponent's phalanx, but failed. Instead, he was counterattacked by the heavy infantry rear crossbowmen, resulting in hundreds of casualties.

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

The infantry phalanx with Gao Shun's presence is as solid as a rock and difficult to attack.

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

Mingguan did not forcefully attack the infantry phalanx composed of Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals. The light cavalry forcefully attacked the infantry phalanx that was waiting for them, but they were just asking for death.

Various princes are fighting near Luoyang, and Chutian is also in trouble.

Li Guang led 300 horse archers of the Western Han Dynasty. They encountered Li Jue's Flying Bear Army on the way and were driven back by the Flying Bear Army.

Knowing that Li Jue's Flying Bear Army appeared nearby, Chu Tian ordered the army to slow down its march and begin to gather in order to prevent being attacked by the opponent.

Previous battles showed that Li Jue and Hua Xiong might act together, and Chu Tian had to guard against them.

Being hit from the flank by the Xiliang cavalry led by Hua Xiong on the plain terrain, the whole army might collapse.

Li Jue appeared with the Flying Bear Army, and Zhou Yafu moved away the Xiliu Camp, Shesheng Camp, and low-level infantry archers to confront Li Jue.

"The Flying Bear Army should be high-level light cavalry that pays attention to speed, plus the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is a high-level heavy cavalry... If anyone can catch Li Jue and Hua Xiong at the same time, the cooperation of the two people's arms can cause damage to the enemy.

It’s quite a trouble.”

Chu Tian wanted to capture Li Jue alive.

However, Li Jue saw that there was no chance and left with the Fei Xiong Army.

Chutian continued to advance.

He was now very close to Luoyang and could see billowing black smoke. As expected, Dong Zhuo 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, so it would be a pity that they were burned down like this.

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