Fu Zhu led his guards to block desperately, and Wei Yan took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation, killing two people in a row, and tearing a gap. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info then a dozen guards behind him swarmed in.

Frustrated after a long battle, and the guards around him were almost dead, and they were captured by Wei Yansheng.

Under the leadership of Wei Yan, the Northern Xinjiang Army fought for their lives, completely disregarding life and death, and its attacks were fierce and the killing was so tragic that it was extremely terrifying. Under their frantic attacks, the rebel soldiers and improvised civilians retreated one after another, and the defensive position did not last long before it collapsed.

"Kill, kill me, don't kill, don't kill......" Wei Yan and the soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the heads of people flew under the knife, and blood was everywhere.

Lan Yu rushed down with the Northern Frontier Army on the city wall, and they crossed Fu Yan and entered Yongmen Avenue.

"Knock knock......" On the battlefield of Xicheng, the drums shook the sky.

The army conquered Luoyang City.

………………

On Yongmen Avenue, there is a sea of people. The rebels and the people mingled, and the wolves ran wild. The Northern Frontier Army then pursued, killing like thunder.

In the melee, He Mao was shot by a strong crossbow, Han Juzi was killed by a spear, Su You was hacked to death by a soldier in northern Xinjiang, and several rebel generals on the Yongmen battlefield were all killed.

At dusk, the generals Li Yi, Xu Maogong, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Yue Fei, Xu Da and others galloped into Luoyang City.

Huang Zhong stood at the city gate to greet him.

"Where has the assault front army advanced?" Li Yi looked around at the battlefield where the corpses were in disarray, and asked happily, "Can you surround the palace?" ”

"General Lan Yu has commanded a large army to surround Nangong." Huang Zhong bowed down and said, "The letter of persuasion has been shot several times, but there is no news yet. ”

Li Yi nodded lightly, and was about to slap his horse forward, when Huang Zhong suddenly whispered: "Lord, we have caught the frustration." ”

Li Yi was overjoyed, after Tian Feng was grabbed by him early, those strategists under Yuan Shao, Li Yi valued the most frustration, this is a real talent, so before the army attacked the city, he specially told him that he must find a way to capture him when he encounters frustration.

Li Yi was still worried that he was killed in the chaos, but now when he heard Huang Zhong's words, he hurriedly asked, "Where is he?" ”

………………

After the Northern Xinjiang Army broke through the Yongmen, the defenders were defeated in the direction of Xicheng, and the Upper West Gate and Guangyang Gate at the east and west ends of the West City were immediately lost, and the Northern Xinjiang Army roared in from the three city gates and killed the palace in a blink of an eye.

The defenders withdrew into the palace and defended the north and south palaces.

Under the command of Lan Yu, the Northern Frontier Army forcibly broke through the Middle Gate Avenue between the South and North Palaces, completely divided the rebels of the South and North Palaces, and quickly captured the East Gate of the East City. Li Jing and Gao Shun on the battlefield of Dongcheng immediately led their troops into the city, and together with the northern army on the battlefield of Xicheng, they surrounded the south and north palaces from the east and west.

The Northern Xinjiang Army was worried that the rebels would be desperate and burn the south and north palaces on the verge of death, so they did not launch a strong attack after completing the encirclement. The two sides formed a standoff.

………………

At dusk, in the Jiade Hall of Nangong, the ministers of civil and military affairs in Luoyang had a heated dispute.

Yuan Zhong, Wang Qiu, Lu Weikuang, Wei Yuanjin, Gao Xiang and others asked for a breakthrough.

Yuan Zhong said: "At present, although the Northern Xinjiang Army has broken through the east and west cities, the gates of the south and north cities are still under our control, and the double road connecting the south and north palaces is still intact, and the troops in the two palaces can be assembled together at any time. If we break through immediately, we still have a chance to live, and if we hesitate and let the northern army conquer all the gates of the southern and northern cities overnight, we will be unable to fly. ”

Yuan Zhong suggested that the troops holding on to the Xia Gate and Gumen of the North City should immediately withdraw to the South Palace together with the troops who had retreated to the North Palace. In the middle of the night, the army did everything in its power to break through from the direction of the Pingcheng Gate in the southern city.

Yuan Zhong believed that the main forces of the Northern Xinjiang Army had already entered the city from the direction of Xicheng and Dongcheng, and there were definitely not many troops left in the direction of Nancheng and Beicheng at this moment. After the army rushed out of the Pingcheng Gate, it immediately crossed the Luoshui River and withdrew in the direction of Dagu Pass.

The three brothers, Yuan Ba, Yuan Hui and Yuan Min, were resolutely opposed.

Yuan Hui said: "The Northern Xinjiang Army did not take advantage of the situation to enter the south and north palaces, mainly because they were worried that we would burn the palace. It is from this point of view that they have not yet occupied the gates of the north and south cities, and have not cut off the way for us to break through from the north and south cities, and their purpose is to give us the illusion that we still have a chance to live. If we forcibly break through the siege, we will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Northern Xinjiang Army outside the city. ”

"The Northern Frontier Army captured the Middle East Gate Avenue and cut off our connection with the North Palace from the ground, but why didn't they destroy the compound road above the Middle East Gate Avenue? Why do we have to leave a double road connecting the north and south houses? Yuan Hui said excitedly, "Obviously, it is to lure us to break through." ”

"Outside the gate of Pingcheng are Taixue and Sanyong, and the Northern Xinjiang Army will garrison heavy troops to protect them. After the Sanyong Palace, it is the Luoshui River, and when the Northern Xinjiang Army sees that we have broken through the Sanyong Palace, they will immediately let the Northern Xinjiang soldiers on the opposite bank burn the pontoon bridge. How can we cross the river without a bridge? The army will be wiped out by the Luoshui River. ”

"Taking a step back, even if the Northern Xinjiang Army was caught off guard and let us rush through Luoshui and break through Dagu Pass, how can Guangcheng Pass break through? The Northern Frontier Army on the Yingchuan battlefield will do its best to intercept it, and we will not be able to move an inch. Even if we break through the Guangcheng Pass, is Luyang City still in Liu Biao's hands? If Luyang is in the hands of the Northern Xinjiang Army, we will be surrounded and annihilated at the foot of Huoyang Mountain in the end. ”

Yuan Hui hit the map on the case again and again, and said angrily: "Break through, break through, where is there a chance to break through now?" If you want to die, die yourself, and don't let tens of thousands of soldiers bury you in vain. ”

"Everyone, please calm down. Now, the vitality is gone, and there is no possibility of breaking through. Yuan Ba persuaded bitterly, "No matter how well Liu Biao and Yuan Tan's middle lane containment is fought, and whether Cao Cao and Liu Bei's attacks on the east and west battlefields are smooth, the fall of Luoyang is already a fact." The Northern Xinjiang Army captured Luoyang so early, which was equivalent to grasping the initiative of the entire battle situation, Li Yi could immediately divide his troops to support Guanzhong, Yingchuan and Yanzhou, and Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao would soon be defeated and retreat. We have lost all hope, and a breakthrough is bound to be a dead end. ”

However, the persuasion of the three brothers, Yuan Ba, Yuan Hui and Yuan Min, had no effect.

Yuan Zhong, as Yuan Shao's cousin, has a high prestige in Luoyang's civil and military affairs, and many civil and military ministers are his protégés. Even if some people know that breaking through is a dead end, at this moment, staying is surrender and betrayal. No one wants to betray the Lord at this moment.

Yuan Shang was completely desperate, but when he heard that there was still a glimmer of life in the breakthrough, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and chose to break through without hesitation, he said: "Take my father's body, we will break through, break through immediately." ”

The three brothers of Yuan Hui had no choice but to accept their fate.

But Yuan Zhong no longer trusts them, although the three brothers of Yuan Hui are also surnamed Yuan, they are not from the same family as Yuan Zhong, they are from the Chen State, and their uncle is Yuan Peng, and Yuan Peng is now serving in the Jicheng Imperial Court. At this sensitive time, they naturally couldn't get a new appointment from Yuan Zhong and others.

Yuan Zhong said to Yuan Hui and the others: "You take 5,000 people to stay and drag the Northern Frontier Army in the palace." ”

Yuan Zhong looked at them, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We brothers have lived and died together for decades, no matter what choice you make, I will not blame you, but for the sake of the original face, please stick to it for three days." Whatever method you use, stick to it for three days. In three days, if we haven't fought our way out......"

Yuan Zhong's eyes were slightly red, he looked up to the sky and sighed, turned around and left.

………………

Night quickly enveloped Luoyang City.

The rebels withdrew from Xiamen and Gumen. Sima Yi and Tai Shici on the battlefield of Beicheng immediately led their troops to kill.

On the Middle East Gate Avenue, Xu Maogong, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Yue Fei, Xu Da, Xie Xuan, Li Guangbi and others surrounded Li Yi and rushed to a place about 200 steps away from the compound road.

The double road spans the north and south palaces, like a "sky corridor", and at this moment the double road is brightly lit inside and outside, and it looks extremely magnificent.

"My lord, the rebels in the North Palace are evacuating towards the South Palace." Li Jing came on horseback, pointed to the dense figure that was faintly visible in the compound road and said, "Do you want to cut off the compound road and prevent the two rebels from meeting?" ”

"Let them rendezvous." Li Yi shook his hand and said, "If you can keep Beigong, it will be considered a blessing." ”

"I wonder if the enemy will break through?" Yue Fei said with a smile, "If Yuan Shao is in the city, I estimate that the rebels will break through soon." With Yuan Shao's character, he would rather die in battle than surrender. He still has this backbone. ”

"The status of Frustration, Trial and Feng Ji in Luoyang is very high, the three of them were captured one after another, and the rebels can continue to retreat to the palace to hold on, and they have not all collapsed, which means that Yuan Shao must be here." Xu Da waved the horsewhip in his hand a little excitedly, and said loudly, "If Yuan Shao can be killed in this battle, then the time for the world to calm down is just around the corner." ”

"I hope so, I hope so." Li Yi smiled, "Yuan Shao is our strongest opponent and the pillar of the rebels. Yuan Shao has fallen, and how many rebels can confront us head-on? ”

………………

Late at night, Yuan Shang and Yuan Zhong gathered more than 20,000 people, suddenly rushed out of Nangong, and rushed along Pingchengmen Avenue towards Pingchengmen.

After the Northern Xinjiang Army broke through the east and west cities, the Northern Xinjiang Army that entered from Guangyangmen in the west was blocked at the intersection of Xiaoyuanmen Avenue and Guangyangmen Avenue, and the Northern Xinjiang Army that entered from Dongcheng's East Gate Avenue was also blocked at the intersection of Kaiyangmen Avenue and Shumen Avenue, so Pingchengmen Avenue in the middle of the southern city was still under the control of the rebels at the moment.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Zhong rushed to the Pingcheng Gate with a large army unimpeded.

Pingcheng Gate is the main gate of Luoyang City, and the defense is extremely strong. At the beginning of the siege, the Northern Xinjiang Army gave up the assault on the Pingcheng Gate, and instead chose the easternmost Kaiyang Gate among the four gates in the south as the target of attack. Zhang Fei is now commanding the army to continue the attack outside the Kaiyang Gate.
