Luoyang battlefield.

From the barren Huizhou, Lu'an went all the way to Luoyang, the heart of the world, and the Luoyang official army only had the ability to parry, but had no power to counterattack, and retreated in Luoyang City, and the morale of hundreds of thousands of Hengshan troops was high at this time, and they were extremely arrogant.

Especially Li Kan, the king of Hengshan, the Luoyang Palace has not yet been touched, the emperor is already full of style, and he has climbed out of bed under the entanglement of the two beauties, and then more than a dozen eunuchs waited for breakfast, put on incomparably complicated, luxurious dragon robes, and then arrived at the front line under the guidance of hundreds of imperial forest troops.

The rebellion lasted for more than three months, Guanzhong did not respond for a long time, almost all the thousands of miles near Luoyang were taken by the Hengshan army, and the Hengshan army, which had a large number of laborers, dug a lot of mixed fortifications under the city of Luoyang, as if building a small city outside Luoyang City, but no matter how the Hengshan army attacked, Qiu Shenji, who had eaten the scales and had an iron heart, defended Luoyang, and the Hengshan army that had attacked the city several times died a lot of people, not to mention, and it has not been pushed further until now.

As soon as he ascended the lookout and looked at the Luoyang City Wall, which had been staring at him for more than three months and was about to look disgusting, Li Kan couldn't help but yawn loudly, and asked impatiently: "Is Qiu Shenzhen still unwilling to surrender?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty." The servant of the Hengshan Guoshang on the side hurriedly nodded and replied: "The envoy sent into the city was entertained by that guy with good wine and meat, but when it comes to the surrenders, this guy is concerned about him, and today he is sending some treasures and beauties, please give your majesty a few more days!" ”

"Grace? Hum! ”

The emperor has not been in office for a few days, Li Kan's temper is so good, his face is full of arrogance when he is already in his early thirties, and he snorts disdainfully: "I have already given too much grace to this slave with three surnames!" I don't have the patience to wait any longer! ”

It doesn't look like he has been dragged by the belongings and beauties sent by Luoyang for more than half a month, Li Kan waved his sleeves awe-inspiringly, and said impassionedly with a worried and worried look: "Now that the western thief is in charge, the country is hanging upside down, and all the people are waiting for me to rescue him, how can he waste time on the Qiu thief?" ”

"Immediately send the order down, and then give the Qiu thief the last three incense sticks, and if he doesn't surrender, I will drive the three armies to attack with all their might, and on the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and he will regret it too late!"

"This ......"

"Don't go yet!"

Li Kan's imperial technique is quite strict, he glared, and the thin little old man-like servant shot Dong Yuan's lonely fart didn't dare to put one more, turned around and ordered.

The loud horn shook the sky, and the Hengshan army, which had been comfortable for two or three days, walked out of the barracks lazily, and formed a formation more than 300 meters away from the east gate of Luoyang, with more than 100,000 people.

It's just that if you look closely, it can't help but make people shake their heads, the Hengshan army is like a fruit seller, the sergeant at the front is quite good-looking, each with a big waist and a round body, and his eyes are fierce, but the back is not good, from the twelve-year-old Huangkou child to the old man who has lost his teeth eighty, and the further back, the armor he wears, the worse the weapons he holds, and when he reaches the fifth row and the sixth row, he is already dressed as a farmer, carrying a pot lid in his left hand and a machete in his right hand.

This is also in line with the law of ancient rebellion, after all, there is a court watching on the head, even if Li Kan is scheming, he can only close and flee from Liaodong behind Li Zhi's nose, and there is nowhere to go to the escape, and then some bandits and robbers who have accumulated years of life, called the green forest heroes, taking advantage of Li Zhi's defeat in the Western Regions, the king of Hengshan brazenly raised troops, but his strength was only seven or eight thousand, and he took the Zhichong Mansion near Huizhou, and then swept the ground in Huizhou for soldiers, so there were 50,000 troops.

If the imperial court sends troops to extinguish it at this time, two or three thousand cavalry or about five thousand infantry will be enough to defeat this rabble.

However, at this time, it was just in time for Li Jie to enter Chang'an, and when the political situation was in chaos, Li Kan was given enough time to develop his power in the densely populated Zhongzhou, Henan.

Qiu Shenji's Shenwu army guarding Luoyang is actually a good thing, mostly composed of some noble sons and street scoundrels, walking in formation on weekdays, and giving the emperor a guard of honor, but if they are really swords and guns, they will be thrown out a few streets, if it weren't for the high pool of Luoyang City, Qiu Shenshu would have been beaten down a long time ago.

Wearing a neat full set of armor, the Beijing army was beaten by their own mud legs and couldn't raise their heads, although several major battles did not defeat Luoyang, but the Hengshan army was still high morale, and gradually gathered into a military formation, more than 100,000 rebels shouted overwhelmingly against the city.

Swords and guns were like a forest, axes, hooks, forks, and ping-pong shooks and pong shooks, and the Shenwu army on the shocked city didn't even have the courage to show their heads, and they all shrank their heads behind the battlements.

In such a situation where morale is available, Dong Yuanlian, a servant from a small county order, also took the ultimatum of Emperor Zhao Li Kan and rode to Luoyang City with great courage, and that courage was almost the same as the eldest grandson Wuji, who was appointed as the inspection ambassador of Henan Province back then.

However, without waiting for Dong Yuan to walk to the upper east gate of Luoyang in a reserved manner, the upper east gate, which had been confined for more than a month, suddenly opened the ground, and on the wide moat surrounded by Luoshui, the drawbridge slammed on the ground, and in the sound of military drums, the cavalry of the Shenwu Army, who had not gone out of the city for three months in the offensive and defensive battle of Luoyang, rushed out of the city gate like ants moving.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Dong Yuan walked over the horse's head and ran towards the loop.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the end, it is a team that exists as a janissaries, although it is brave and does not dare to compliment, but the speed of the formation is very fast, a pillar of incense, with its back to the Luoshui moat, five hundred cavalry on both wings swept the formation, and a conical formation of up to 10,000 people in the Chinese army was quickly revealed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" In a panic, there was no longer the courage of the eldest grandson who had gone to the Dead Sea to retire, Dong Yuanlian changed back to the county order, and ran to the observation deck tremblingly, and he didn't care about any courtesies from the monarchs and ministers, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "The official army has attacked!" ”

"I know!"

Li Kan's eyes were shining brightly at this time.

can plan a rebellion, naturally not a stupid person, Li Kan is not unaware of the importance of Luoyang, this is the eastern capital, the center of the world, when Yang Xuan rebelled, he just crashed into here, attacked but not overcome, and finally Emperor Yang of Sui returned from Goguryeo, defeated Guanzhong, and finally died in defeat.

On the one hand, he was greedy for pleasure, and on the other hand, Li Kan was stuck in Luoyang City for three months, and he really didn't beat it, so he had to put pressure on Qiu Shenji, but now, this cool official who was later famous in the Wu Zhou Dynasty was dizzy, and led the Luoyang defenders to go out of the city to fight against the Hengshan army, which was ten times as large, didn't this send Luoyang to him?

Laughing, Li Kan threw out the order flag violently, and roared with a high spirit: "The generals will attack in turn, kill Qiu Shenxuan, and seal the marquis!" ”

Just when the rebels of Hengshan Kingdom were shouting excitedly, Qiu Shenji, who had a head worth a marquis, also carried a big knife and personally went to the tip of the cone formation.

can be a cool official, Qiu Shenjun is not a person without courage, but he also knows exactly what these goods look like behind him, if he is not forced to be in a hurry, Qiu Shenjun will not risk going out of the city to fight, looking at the chaotic Hengshan Army in front of him is not afraid, listening to the teeth of his own subordinates behind him is terrifying, Qiu Shenjun sadly returned to his height and raised the big knife, and shouted viciously at the uncompetitive command.

"The reinforcements have been out of Tongguan, and they are about to arrive soon, killing thieves and breaking the enemy is today, you are all the descendants of General Xungui, and you should stand up to serve the country, don't lose the face of your ancestors?"

But without saying a word, he moved these gentlemen a little, Qiu Shenzhen simply shouted in annoyance: "Follow Lao Tzu, rush forward, when will Lao Tzu die, you will not be too late to run, go out to the army!" ”

The snare drum beat even more shockingly, following the military laws of various generations, the military law of the Tang Army is also that the commander dies and the whole army is fine, and the whole army should be beheaded! Seeing that Qiu Shenshu rushed out against the rebels first, those noble children in the back had to follow despite being afraid, scolding Qiu Shenxuan's mother while rushing towards the strict rebel army.

"Attack!"

The Hengshan rebel general swung his sword forward, and in the roar of the ghost's scream, countless Hengshan rebels also rushed to the Shenwu army who went out of the city to fight with the greed of the feudal marquis. Charging at the forefront of the whole army, Qiu Shenxuan really had the demeanor of a general, and shouted that a Changmo knife was round, and as soon as he clashed, the blade that was slashed down was stunned and cut into the chest of the enemy general in his right hand, and immediately cut off the thighs and calves of the enemy on the left.

In the midst of two screams, after receiving a circle, Qiu Shenxuan Tiger roared into the rebels, followed by him, and the vanguard of the Shenwu Army, who was inspired by the brave martial arts of the main general, finally looked like a little man, and also roared and rushed into the gap, killing and slashing.

Standing on the city wall and looking down, he saw that the Xuanxi Shenwu Army was like a nail and plunged into the huge cyan Hengshan rebels.

However, the cone formation does not only require the assault of the Chinese army to be sharp, but also requires a strong two wings, the shoulders of the Shenwu army are obviously not strong enough, the Chinese army did not penetrate half of it, and the more than 500 cavalry as a cover have collapsed, screaming and fleeing into the city, and then, the Hengshan rebels who suffered losses in the Chinese army smashed into the waist of the Shenwu army like a hammer.

One wave of impact, two waves of impact, when the third wave of Hengshan troops with hoes and axes rushed up, holding sharp steel knives. The waist of the Shenwu Army, dressed in full iron armor, collapsed!

The more than 6,000 Shenwu troops who failed to succeed in the assault were simply trapped on the bank of the Luoshui River, relying on the huge number of troops, the Hengshan rebels were like a grinding plate, crushing wave after wave towards the Luoyang defenders who were struggling to defend the riverbank, seeing that in less than half a morning, Qiu Shenji, who had been against him, was pressed on the bank of the river and struggled to support, and could be driven down Luoshui at any time to feed Wang Ba, Li Kan also seemed to see Luoyang Palace thinking about beckoning to himself, shouting excitedly.

The victory was carried away, but Li Kan forgot a common sense, if there was not enough support, how could Qiu Shenji, who had been shrinking for more than three months, take this group of old soldiers to fight easily?

Just when the shouting and killing sound next to Luoshui was earth-shattering, a gray cavalry suddenly came around from the north of Luoyang City, and silently ran to the back of the Hengshan rebels who were fighting with the Shenwu Army.

"Your Majesty! Northern! Northern! Here comes a cavalry of the official army! Dong Yuanshan was the first to scream nervously, and Emperor Li Kan of Zhao, who was listening, hurriedly looked back, but immediately snorted disdainfully.

There are too few cavalrymen coming! It is only less than 3,000, and the extremely tight formation makes this army a little smaller, and tens of thousands of Shenwu troops have been defeated, and now they are dying on the riverbank, how can Li Kan, who already feels that the world is within reach, put such an inconspicuous small army in his eyes?

"Order Li Chong, the general of the Leopard Guard, to lead 5,000 infantry to stop this cavalry."

In the chaotic footsteps, a reserve infantry hurriedly pulled out of the main force, and hurriedly lined up in the north against the officers and cavalry who were trotting slowly, and the rebel general Li Chong was still shaking his spear fiercely.

Looking at everything in front of him, the general of the Heluo Road march, the general of the Chang'an Left Leading Army, Gao Kan, smiled lightly and put down his mask with his hand............
