Chapter 605: Defeated into Luoyang

Luoyang City is based on the Central Plains, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

In the night, the outline of this ancient city, like a shadow, is located majestically on the land of Zhongzhou.

At this time, the head of Luoyang City was brightly lit, the city wall was full of soldiers, and the young men who were forcibly pulled, and the officials of the three divisions of the Qing court in Henan also went up to the city, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

The night breeze blew, and the torches in the hands of the green battalion soldiers flickered, and the faces of the Qing soldiers showed panic in the firelight.

At this time, the generals of the city heard the movement outside the city, and immediately exclaimed, "There is a situation!" ”

The Qing army at the head of the city panicked, and a large number of Qing troops holding torches hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, ready to respond.

The officer urgently reported to He Mingluan, the governor of Henan in the Qing court, "Lord Futai, there is a situation outside the city." ”

Behind He Mingluan, many officials of the Third Division of Henan were frightened, and many people's faces turned pale instantly.

"General Soldier Sun, we must strictly guard against death, let the soldiers wind their bows and arrows, and prepare to defend against the enemy!" He Mingluan took a step forward, his face was gloomy, he held on to the wall battlement, looking at the city, although he heard the movement, he couldn't see anything clearly.

The defenders of the city did not dare to be careless, and after receiving the order, the archers wound their arrows, and the musketeers watched nervously outside the city.

During the day yesterday, He Mingluan received a message from Geng Zhongming, informing a large number of Wei troops to leave Tongguan and let Luoyang get ready.

He Mingluan also thought about preparing to organize a group of young men and materials to be transported to Shaanzhou to support Geng Zhongming, but he didn't want thousands of defeated troops to flee from Shaanzhou as soon as it was dark, claiming that King Huaishun was defeated and Gao Yihuan rushed to Luoyang.

This frightened He Mingluan a lot, and Luoyang City was also in a panic.

At this time, everyone stood at the head of the city, and the noisy sound in the distance became clearer and clearer from far and near, and it was already certain that it was the surging soldiers and horses, and the Qing army on the gate couldn't help but wipe their sweat one after another, could it be that the Wei army really killed Luoyang in one go?

Just when everyone in the city was in doubt, a black shadow under the city finally moved quickly, and the Qing army on the gate immediately pulled the bowstring round, aimed at the black shadow, and just waited for an order to release the arrow.

He Mingluan and the others all had an uneasy look on their faces, and suddenly a clear voice finally came from under the city, "Don't let go of the arrows, your own people!" ”

The defenders of the city were in high spirits, and He Mingluan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows, and stared at the black shadows under the city, watching them move to the city gate.

It was the Qing army, and nearly a thousand Qing troops were defeated, appearing under the city, shouting to enter the city.

It's just that Luoyang is a heavy city, but don't dare to open the door easily, although the defeated army shouted fiercely, but He Mingluan did not let people open the city, the defeated army under the city gathered more and more, and finally someone pulled out the horse, separated the defeated army to the city gate, and shouted upward: "Open the city gate, King Huaishun is back!" ”

He Mingluan felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, so he leaned against the wall and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I, Jin Yuhe! He Futai, open the door! The brethren have blown up their lungs! The embarrassed Jin Yuhe raised his head in response.

Jin Yuhe? He Mingluan listened to it, and hurriedly asked people to open the city gate, but only opened the urn city, not the main gate, and then put it into the city after the identity was confirmed again.

As soon as the city gate opened, the Qing army outside crowded into the urn city, as if something terrifying was chasing behind them.

Nearly a thousand Qing troops poured into the city, and soon someone saw Geng Zhongming surrounded by the defeated army, and after the identity was confirmed, the city gate was opened, and the defeated army was allowed to enter the city.

He Mingluan had already gone down to the city, leading a group of officials of the three divisions to stand next to the doorway, and saw the bannermen of Huangjia rushing to the city as if fleeing for their lives, and many wounded Qing soldiers sat on both sides of the street as soon as they entered the city, gasping for breath or groaning in pain.

Geng Zhongming entered the city, and a soldier had already come forward to lead the horse for him, and then helped him to dismount, He Mingluan saw his embarrassed appearance, and his eyes almost fell off, the Qing soldiers were defeated so badly.

"Lord Wang, this~" He Mingluan stepped forward and looked at Geng Zhongming, at a loss for a while.

Geng Zhongming was helped off the horse, his feet just touched the ground, his body was staggering, and the soldiers hurriedly supported him, but Geng Zhongming sat on the street without any scruples about his image.

He was the prince, and when He Mingluan and the others saw him sitting on the ground, they could only squat down beside him.

At this time, Geng Zhongming took a few breaths and drank another pot of water before saying to He Mingluan: "He Futai, let people block the streets, transfer the wounded soldiers as soon as possible, and no one is allowed to talk about tonight's affairs, so as to minimize the impact of the matter." Do you understand? ”

He Mingluan's heart was shocked, and he understood what Geng Zhongming meant, the Qing Dynasty ruled the world, not by favor to the people, but by coercion, so that the common people could see the miserable appearance of King Huaishun, and where to put King Huaishun's face, it would be difficult for the government to carry out work in the future.

At that moment, He Mingluan hurriedly called a few people and gave a few orders, and several officials immediately went to do it.

At this time, Geng Zhongming's eyes wandered away for a while, before he recovered his spirits and gasped: "Jin Yuhe, you send fast horses again and tell the county king about this matter, just say that this king failed to block and was broken through by Gao Yihuan's main force, and now he is holding Luoyang tightly, unable to cover the flank of the army, Gao Yihuan has nearly 10,000 horse troops, let the county king transfer troops to guard against Gao Yihuan outflanking." ”

Jin Yuhe got up with difficulty, and after receiving the order, he went to find someone to deliver the message.

After ordering these two things, Geng Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief, but there were still many scenes lingering in his mind.

Among them, a black guy holding a long-handled plate axe and a red-faced man who made a knife were even more apprehensive.

Several of his generals were either opened by the big axe of the black guy, or they were cut in half by the red-faced man, and the bloody picture left a psychological shadow on people like Geng Zhongming.

If Bolo hadn't come to the rescue this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have died.

Thinking of this, Geng Zhongming couldn't help but stand up, looked around, and saw the soldiers who had entered the city sitting paralyzed on the street, wailing endlessly.

His 30,000 horses and more than 10,000 infantry troops are all small and short-legged, and it is estimated that all of them will be finished, and most of the remaining 10,000 cavalry may have run out, but they have run away, and it will take time to gather them, and I don't know if they can recover half of them.

Among the three Shun kings, Kong Youde died, and he was hit hard, only Shang Kexi was lucky, and he didn't get beaten much, Gao Yihuan almost beat them all over.

Geng Zhongming looked at the miserable appearance of his subordinates, sighed in his heart, and suddenly asked, "Has Bolo come back?" ””

The people around shook their heads, and at this moment there was a commotion at the city gate, and a group of men and horses entered the pass, and Bolo fell from his horse as soon as he turned his body.

Everyone was shocked, Geng Zhongming hurriedly walked over, and when he heard the soldiers who checked it say that he was still angry, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and ordered people to take good care of him.

At this time, a general next to him suddenly exclaimed: "Lord Wang, the prince doesn't seem to have come back!" ”

"What?" Geng Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he still had a son, and suddenly lifted the person who spoke, glaring angrily, "What did you say?" ~”
