Chapter 1226 Prince Li Tai couldn't enter the city, Muchuan surrounded Li Tai and ordered an attack
Chapter 1226 Prince Li Tai was unable to enter the city, so Muchuan surrounded Li Tai and ordered an attack
"Poof!"
"Bang!"
Muchuan's cavalry kept slashing and harvesting lives.
"Ah..." screams sounded out one after another, and people kept dying.
The ground was dyed red with blood, and people kept falling from their horses. After falling to the ground, they struggled for a few times and died completely.
Muchuan's cavalry was too fierce, and the troops led by Li Tai could not stop their charge.
"Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!"
Li Tai kept roaring angrily.
Li Tai's troops had lost five to six hundred men, and they could no longer resist.
Moreover, Li Tai has discovered that his army is slowly collapsing.
Now, the only option is to retreat.
Li Tai fled with the remaining troops.
However, Muchuan led his troops in hot pursuit.
"Li Tai, you can't run away!"
Muchuan's troops were in hot pursuit, and Li Tai led his troops to flee north without daring to look back.
However, Muchuan did not pursue him. He led his troops in pursuit for a certain distance and then stopped.
"Pass my order to keep them away from Luoyang City Gate!"
Muchuan said coldly.
Muchuan was not stupid. He knew that his troops had just chased Li Tai's troops far away and were now exhausted.
If we attack Luoyang City Gate now, we may encounter a defensive counterattack from Luoyang City.
After all, Luoyang City can't figure out what's going on outside now.
Even if Muchuan led more than 20,000 people to attack the city, he would have to pay a heavy price.
Moreover, it is almost noon now.
Once you miss noon, it will be dark and windy at night.
That would be a huge trouble for Muchuan's army.
Therefore, Muchuan planned to first besiege Li Tai's camp outside Luoyang City.
"Kill!"
Soon, Muchuan's troops launched an offensive outside Li Tai's camp.
"No, Muchuan is catching up!"
The soldiers in Li Tai's camp were in a panic.
"Kill!"
Muchuan led his troops to attack crazily and soon occupied the outside of Li Tai's camp.
"Kill, kill in!"
Muchuan gave the order and led the cavalry to attack Li Tai's camp madly.
"Quick, hurry up and protect His Highness from the encirclement!"
"Protect Your Highness to break through!"
"Help, help!"
Prince Li Tai, who was among the soldiers, looked pale and frightened.
The guards around him constantly protected him from breaking through.
At this time, Yang Gongren in Luoyang City was very conflicted.
He had already seen that one army belonged to Prince Li Tai and the other belonged to Muchuan.
The previous order he received was that Prince Li Tai went to suppress the bandits and that Governor Yang Gongren was responsible for the defense of Luoyang City.
Unexpectedly, such a complicated situation would arise in less than a day.
He didn't know who to help for a moment?
If he helps Li Tai, if Muchuan finally annihilates Li Tai, Muchuan will definitely report himself to the emperor and accuse him of treason.
If he helps Muchuan, then the other party is Li Tai, the prince of Tang Dynasty. If Li Tai really wins by then, how can he still survive?
Yang Gongren was extremely troubled and hesitant.
Finally, Yang Gongren ordered: "Close the city gate."
"Boom!"
The city gate slowly closed, isolating the entire battlefield from the outside.
Li Tai and his troops were trapped outside Luoyang City, and they could only hear the screams of people outside.
Muchuan led the cavalry in continuous sprints, crushing the enemy troops outside the camp.
Li Tai's troops had been dispersed, with less than a thousand men left, unable to stop Muchuan's attack.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Pfft..."
Soldiers kept falling.
"Kill!"
Muchuan kept waving the sword in his hand.
Many soldiers were killed or injured by him.
Li Tai's troops had no power to resist Muchuan's troops and were retreating steadily.
"puff!"
A personal guard of Prince Li Tai was beheaded and his neck was slashed with a sword.
"Protect Your Highness to break through!"
the guard shouted.
"Protect Your Highness to break through!"
Many guards shouted.
Li Tai's cronies tried their best to escort Li Tai out to the gate of Luoyang.
Li Tai's troops totaled only more than 4,000 people.
Now many more have died, leaving only more than 2,000 people.
"Your Highness, please leave quickly, I will cover your breakout!"
The guard commander shouted to Li Tai.
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Yang Gongren, he dares to close the city gate to prevent me from entering the city. Does he want to die?"
Li Tai was extremely angry.
He knew that Yang Gongren, a coward, was unwilling to help him and might even take advantage of him.
However, Yang Gongren actually closed the city gate and refused to let him in. This was simply asking for death!
Although Li Tai is a loser, he also has a sense of arrogance. How could he watch himself being surrounded?
"Kill! Follow me and rush into Luoyang City."
Li Tai shouted angrily.
"kill!"
Li Tai's troops continued to rush towards the gate of Luoyang.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
"Hurry up and open the door, I am His Highness Li Tai!"
"Yang Gongren, if you don't open the door, I won't be able to spare you!"
Li Tai kept roaring angrily.
However, no matter how much he shouted, Luoyang City did not respond at all.
"Yang Gongren, you dare to close the gate of Luoyang City, you thief, have you forgotten my kindness to you?"
Li Tai was distraught and angry.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a huge stone flew over and hit Li Tai, almost knocking Li Tai to the ground.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Several of Li Tai's guards panicked and hurriedly helped him up.
Li Tai stood up and said fiercely: "Yang Gongren, you dare to plot against me, you will not die well."
Yang Gongren did not show his head on the city wall at all.
Pretend you don't know all this.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Li Tai's other guards asked.
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately send someone to inform my father that Muchuan has rebelled!"
"Your Highness, this is not possible, it is too dangerous.
Your Majesty definitely doesn’t believe what you say!”
The guard dissuaded.
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think Muchuan's army can escape this time?
The number of defenders in Luoyang now exceeds 50,000, and another 80,000 or 90,000 defenders are heading here for reinforcements.
If we don't tell His Majesty now, we will be annihilated by Muchuan by then.
Our only hope now is that the military can be mobilized early."
"I humbly obey my orders!"
The guard hurriedly rode away.
"Your Highness, don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely mobilize troops to support us. Let's hold on now."
Li Tai's personal guards continued to boost morale, allowing the soldiers to survive strong and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
But at this time, Muchuan's troops had already surrounded him.
"If you surrender, you will not be killed. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Muchuan's soldiers kept shouting.
On the hillside in the distance, Muchuan watched this scene indifferently.
