Chapter 468: Luoyang, I'm here
The news of Huainan soon came, and the tall poet did things neatly and neatly, not only blocking and solving Li Lan's army, but also accompanying Li Lan's suicide in fear of crime.
At this point, Li Heng was completely relieved.
Immediately afterwards, he sent his cronies and eunuchs to the south to welcome the emperor back to Beijing, and at the same time his big driver also set off from Lingwu to return to the palace, but Yang Feng was not interested in staying in Chang'an and waiting to meet him, because the soldiers and civilians of Shaanxi County raised troops to chase the rebels, Guo Ziyi's army had recovered the entire Guanzhong army at this time, Yang Feng followed Li Jiao directly to the east, and in Lantian separated Wang Sili to lead the army to Shangluo Road to relieve the siege of Nanyang.
At this time, Lu Jiong was already very difficult to hold on.
Although it is not as famous as the Battle of Suiyang, in fact, the Battle of Nanyang is also tragic, and it has reached the point of cannibalism, a dead mouse can be sold for 400 Wen, it is said that his opponent is Tian Chenghe, who shot Yang Feng's crossbow, originally in history, he should abandon the city and flee in two months, Wang Sili should be able to save him if he is faster. As for the task of attacking Luoyang by Yang Feng and Guo Ziyi in charge, the battle of Chang'an Wang Sili is also followed by a soy sauce, although before the army Li Heng is afraid of insufficient troops, but because of Yang Feng and the three towns of the Western Regions Army of the violent combat effectiveness, in fact, the current Li Jiao's army has a lot of redundant troops, not only divided Wang Sili, but also divided Li Guangbi and his younger brother Li Guangjin led 20,000 horses north to reinforce Li Guangbi, the latter and the Shangdang Jiedu envoy Cheng Qianli has led the army to conquer Tumen Pass and kill out of Jingcheng.
In short, at this time the Don army switched to a full-scale counteroffensive.
However, to Yang Feng's surprise, An Lushan was not killed by his subordinates.
This is also normal.
After all, in the original history, the Anshi Group maintained its offensive during this time, and even Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Gao Yanxiu, and Niu Tingju's 100,000 troops were still besieging Taiyuan, so An Lushan was not so indispensable to this group, but at this time their situation was very bad, not only Guanzhong was recaptured by the Tang army, but Shi Siming also had to be exhausted under the four-way attack of Li Guangbi and Cheng Qianli in Izujing, Xin Yunjing in Datong, Liu Zhengchen in Pinglu, and Li Gao on the sea, so as to ensure internal unity, so that all departments could watch and help each other. He had to be the supreme commander.
Even if this supreme commander is gone.
At this time, An Lushan basically didn't care about things, he was tormented by poisonous sores and could only rely on alcohol to relieve his pain every day, in fact, everything was handled by An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang and others.
But An Lushan's banner did not fall.
This was important for the rebels at this time.
Compared with this, his increasingly violent and moody temper can only be endured for the time being.
After all, without others, people's hearts will be scattered.
Yang Feng led the iron cavalry in the river to show off his might, escorted Li Jiao all the way east, performed a show in Huayin, this is his hometown, and then drove into Tongguan, went to the Lingbao battlefield to worship his old boss and Ge Shuhan, and by the way, paraded and swore an oath, and then met Guo Ziyi to the east, and the two departments plus a total of 100,000 troops directly under the imperial court, and drove through the Linhan Valley Pass of the Kunshan soldiers......
Hanhan Valley Pass.
There are two Hangu Passes, one is between Shaanxi County and Tongguan, this is the Hangu Pass in the Qin period, and it is also the real Hangu Pass.
But there is also a Hangu Pass in the west of Luoyang, which is one of the eight passes in Luoyang, this is the Hangu Pass since the Han Dynasty, and it is also the west gate of Luoyang, An Lushan has heavy troops here, and the guards of Hangu Pass are his generals Li Huaixian and Ashina Chengqing, and almost all the elites of An Lushan are here, it is obvious that this is also their last effort, if Yang Feng can be blocked in Hangu Pass, it means that they can still control the Guandong, if Hangu Pass can not be guarded, then Luoyang does not need to guard, directly return to Hebei to take a step to see a step.
"Li Huaixian."
Yang Feng sneered.
This is also the origin of Lulong Town, the three towns of Heshuo after the Anshi Rebellion!
Then he immediately picked up the hand cannon, and steadily aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the big flag on the city wall, and at the same time, the bed crossbow giant arrows on the city wall shot intensively, but after these crossbow arrows flew over a distance of four hundred meters, the lethality was no longer enough to pose a threat to him, even if it could hit, it didn't matter, and the armor that penetrated him couldn't penetrate his energy shield, so he didn't even look at it, and directly aimed the crosshair at the flagpole, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The sound of artillery suddenly resounded across the battlefield.
Almost in the blink of an eye, splinters of wood burst from the flagpole, thicker than a human leg, and then fell with a piercing snapping sound amid countless screams.
"I, Yang Feng, who dares to fight with me!"
Yang Feng threw the hand cannon to the side, grabbed a falling crossbow arrow, and shouted arrogantly at the city wall.
The tens of thousands of soldiers lined up behind him shouted in unison, and the sound of weapons hitting the ground was like thunder, in the midst of this drum noise, Yang Feng picked up the mace and shield on the side, and the next moment all the war drums behind him sounded at the same time, Li Li even personally held a drumstick to hit one of the sides, in this war drum Yang Feng roared, holding the shield and dragging the mace and began to run wildly.
Running wild alone.
The soldiers behind him didn't move, they just clamoured like crazy there.
The defenders on the city wall watched this scene in amazement, watching the figure that dragged the dust carried by the mace like a raging rhinoceros, and ran wildly on the narrow ancient road in front of the pass.
The distance of 400 meters passed in the blink of an eye.
Across the ditch in front of the city, Yang Feng jumped and stood under the city gate in an instant, accompanied by the screams of a general, the soldiers on the city wall reacted, all the bows and crossbows in their hands were aimed at Yang Feng, and the dense sharp arrows were like dark clouds, and the sound of heavy rain was like a torrential rain on his shield, and it was even mixed with heavy stones. In this attack that almost overwhelmed him, Yang Feng leaned on his shield and jumped towards the city with a roar, and the dense sharp arrows on the top instantly crossed the arrow stack, and the heavy shield slammed into the general, who immediately flew out with a scream. Immediately after Yang Feng's mace in his hand swept around quickly, there was no living person within three meters around, and the next moment he threw the shield to the right side, and then took the mace into the air, and suddenly reached a ten-meter-high mid-air, he raised the mace with both hands in mid-air, and with a long roar, even the person with the mace whistled and fell, and the mace smashed on the top of the city tower.
Just like the big cannibal warship that he smashed at the beginning, under the volley of the eight-hundred-pound mace, the city tower instantly splashed countless pieces of wood and rubble, and then the entire city tower broke off from the middle and collapsed directly.
Yang Feng fell heavily on the city wall.
The entire tower in front of him collapsed.
"Those who descend will not die!"
He carried his mace and shouted with a majestic gaze in the flying dust.
The rebel soldiers with weapons on both sides of him trembled one by one, looking at him with fearful eyes, and suddenly one of the soldiers screamed, threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, and then screamed, desperately rushed down the steps of the city, the other soldiers looked at each other, and then everyone screamed and rushed to the steps, and this scene was like a plague, quickly spread along the city wall to both sides, all the rebels defending the city began to rush to the nearest step, poured down the city wall to the east to open the gate and fled, Several generals tried to stop it, but in the blink of an eye, they were swept down and trampled on countless big feet.
"Huh?"
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment.
In fact, he is just here to pretend to be a force, and he is not ready to really attack the city.
Hangu Pass is not easy to attack, this famous dangerous checkpoint is at the entrance of a canyon, one side is the Jianhe River and the other side is the mountain, the east-west road crosses the pass, the whole Hangu Pass takes the Guanlou as the core, and is divided into two inner and outer cities, of which the outer city wall extends and connects with the city wall on the north and south sides of the mountain, completely blocking the entire canyon, of course, this is not the point, the point is that the army can not be deployed, the reason why Yang Feng is arrayed four hundred meters away is because he can not let him play so majestic again.
There's not enough room to go any further.
If you attack, you can either add oil and hard, and then prepare a large number of casualties, or simply smash dozens of trebuchets in the front row of the pass, the advantage is that this pass is not large, and the range of the counterweight trebuchet can cover almost the entire pass.
But trebuchets take time to make.
Although Yang Feng built a lot of them in Chang'an before, it was impossible for that thing to push over the Kunshan Mountain, even if it was disassembled, many of those ancient mountain roads were still wooden plank roads, how could it be possible to carry tons of large wood through, so they could only build new ones.
And this time he was purely prestigious, scaring the defenders and destroying their morale, he didn't really want to attack the city, the real siege would take at least another month, when the first batch of trebuchets was built, it would start, but this was too faceless, tens of thousands of elites actually scared him away like this? Is this still the elite of Fan Yang who is rampant in the world? Is this still the Anshi army that collapsed the Tang Dynasty overnight?
"Alas, why can't you let people pretend to be a good force!"
Yang Feng stood on the empty city wall, looking at the Guancheng that was being emptied under his feet, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Suddenly, a shrill whistling sounded.
His left hand suddenly stretched out to the side, and a huge arrow shot from a bed crossbow was immediately caught in his hand, the arrow was not even a foot away from his head, he turned his head with a sneer, and looked at a general lying on the bed crossbow dozens of meters away on the left, who was also looking at him with an unbelievable gaze, and the next moment Yang Feng suddenly jumped out, and instantly arrived at them like a bolt of lightning.
"What's your name?"
He looked at the general from a distance of almost less than half a meter and said.
"An, An Wuchen!"
The latter said tremblingly.
"An Lushan clan, the sin is unforgivable!"
Yang Feng said.
After saying that, the mace in his hand whistled and fell, and blood and scraps of flesh burst out in all directions.
Yang Feng raised his mace, regardless of the blood on it, directly on his shoulder, and then looked to the east.
"Luoyang, I'm here!"
He suddenly yelled.
Behind him, countless soldiers rushed in.
