The Zhuque Gate of the North Palace is facing the Xuanwu Gate of the South Palace. In the tower, the pursuers and soldiers were in a small environment, using short soldiers to stab each other. From time to time, some people screamed and fell down. Although the complex road was wide, it was not
Hundreds of people could not be allowed to pass in a short time. The soldiers fought to death without interruption, retreated from the top of the city to the tower, and then retreated from the tower to the return road.
The blood of the soldiers from both sides who died in the battle spilled into the sky, and their corpses fell from the air. Several soldiers were injured but were not dead yet, so they were squeezed down. They fell from a height of more than ten meters in the air, letting out terrifying howls, and then "pop"
"The ground was smashed into pieces. If they hadn't been wearing armor, they might have had a chance to survive.
The soldiers who were isolated on the top of the city were quickly slaughtered, and those who set foot on the restoration road fought bloody battles and retreated. Chen Cheng stood on the city tower, opened the "Sunset Bow", and faced the crowd of people.
Fudao shot an arrow. The arrow penetrated into the chest of one of the pursuers. The sharp arrows penetrated his armor and tied him to his comrades behind him.
The soldier in front of him was stunned for a moment, then he raised his sword and slashed the enemy on the opposite side on the neck. The blade cut through the connection between the helmet and the armor, and due to excessive force, the head was cut off directly. Six
Yang Kuai flew up and then fell to the ground. The headless strong body was still holding the weapon, but it no longer had the surging driving force, and slowly knelt down.
The soldiers had retreated to the center of the complex road. After retreating dozens of steps, the crossbows from the Xuanwu Gate fired in unison and shot down more than a dozen of the pursuers. The pursuers' companions who stayed on the tower immediately fired back.
, but the distance was too far, and the arrows were exhausted in the air and fell to the ground. They immediately changed the target of the attack, pouring arrows on the soldiers who were retreating while fighting. Because the distance was too far, other crossbows could not reach too far.
Of great effect, only the shooting of the big yellow crossbow is still strong and powerful.
Bows and crossbows fired continuously from both sides, and corpses were soon strewn across the road. More than forty soldiers retreated to the Xuanwu Gate, and almost everyone was injured. The pursuers were hit by a continuous barrage of arrows, so that the corpses were piled up.
, did not dare to continue to step forward, and retreated to the other side of the complex path in embarrassment.
Chen Cheng zoomed in and could clearly see the city on the opposite side. A general was shouting loudly, as if he wanted to pull the soldiers over to launch an assault. He stretched out his left thumb and gestured, and found that
The distance was already more than 150 steps, so I had to put down the sunset bow angrily.
At such a long distance, the difficulty of shooting is estimated to be more than fifteen. Unless it is a big yellow crossbow, other crossbows will not be able to shoot down anything on the opposite side.
The killings, looting and rape in the North Palace continued. The eunuchs and soldiers who had not yet had time to evacuate to the South Palace were hit by metal sand, and the screams of the women could be clearly heard on the top of the city. The soldiers who retreated were on the Xuanwu Gate.
He burst into tears and cursed angrily to the north. When other people saw him, they couldn't help but feel sad.
Originally, many people thought of resisting for a while and then surrendering. Now that they saw the tragic situation in Beigong, they immediately gave up the idea of surrendering. According to the style of those people, if they put down the swords and guns in their hands,
I'm just afraid that I will die faster.
After He Jin heard that the Beigong had been breached, he immediately changed the direction of the attack and mobilized a large number of infantry and archers into the Beigong. These new troops did not participate in the robbery and quickly gathered near the Zhuque Gate and marched along the city.
The head and city gate were unfolded. A large number of soldiers were mobilized back and forth in Luoyang City. As long as the deployment was completed, a thunderous strike would be issued.
In the West Garden outside the city, several military camps are scattered on the ground. One of the military camps is where Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Shao is stationed. When he heard that the general's flag was raised in the city, the whole
Everyone was stunned, and after a while they let out a long breath.
He looked at Cao Cao, whose smile was distorted, suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, stood up, walked outside the tent, and whispered to his confidants: "Immediately send an order to Yan Liang, telling him not to enter the city and lead his troops to the west."
Come over here to the garden."
After returning to the tent, Yuan Shao sat back down and asked, "Jian Shuo can't hold on, what can Meng De do?"
Cao Cao pondered for a while and said: "Our army is large and the enemy's army is small. Surround us on three sides and attack together."
Yuan Shao was silent for a while and said, "That's all we can do."
Now that the two of them have spoken, the most important thing is that since Yuan Shao has made up his mind, the others have no choice but to obey. Whether it is the left and right captains Xia Mou and Chun Yuqiong, or the assistant left and right captains Zhao Rong and Feng Fang, they have always been
They all followed Yuan Shao's lead.
Several people had made a plan and returned to their camps. They surrounded Jian Shuo's camp with their soldiers and horses, and attacked in turns. However, Jian Shuo was the marshal of the Xiyuan Army and also the captain of the military school. He had the most soldiers and horses in his hands, and the camp was repaired.
It was the strongest and had the most strong bows and crossbows in the camp. Chunyu Qiong was fond of wine and bloodthirsty, so he forced the soldiers to come forward, but hundreds of them were shot and killed. He himself was hit by an arrow and escaped back to the formation with injuries.
middle.
With the example in front of him, the others no longer thought about fighting hard. When it was their turn to go into battle, they were just following the story. Cao Cao wanted to deal with Jian Shuo as soon as possible, but he didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands.
The enemy who couldn't get out had no choice but to let the soldiers charge with their shields for a while. They also suffered casualties, but gained nothing.
Among the eight lieutenants in Xiyuan, except for Jian Shuo and Yuan Shao, among the remaining six, Cao Cao is resourceful and Chunyu Qiongxiao fights bravely. These two are not good, let alone the others. Anyway, they have enough troops, so they are not afraid.
Jian Shuo came out and killed him.
Yuan Shao looked back to the east, and saw the sound of killings in the city. He was worried in his heart, wondering if Wen Chou had escaped overnight as planned after he failed to succeed. He whispered to the soldiers around him to prepare secretly. If something went wrong, then
I had no choice but to resort to the Thirty-Six Strategy.
Now the soldiers are procrastinating and refusing to fight to the death, which is also the result of his indulgence. He doesn't want to go to the general's palace to meet He Jin, so he has to find an excuse. If Jian Shuo is destroyed, what excuse does he have?
They took turns attacking Chichi, and the soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties, but with no results. While they were still dilly-dallying, a group of cavalry came galloping towards them, and it was the garrison battalion led by Feng Shu, the garrison captain. Feng
When Shu came with his troops, Yuan Shao was terrified and did not dare to send troops to stop him. When he heard that Feng Shu had come to supervise the army on the orders of the general, the panic in his heart not only did not disappear, but became more intense.
It's said to be a military governor, who knows if it has any other purpose? For example, to take Yuan Benchu's head?
It wasn't until Yan Liang came over with his troops and had an absolutely reliable army in hand that Yuan Shao felt relieved. However, Feng Shu summoned the generals and read out the order of General He Jin. He had no regard for Yuan Shao and others.
He said politely: "The general has an order. Jian Shuo's camp must be breached before sunset! If not, all generals above the captain's rank will be killed!"
Feng Shu is the general of the Northern Army, but the Xiyuan Army was set up to suppress the Northern Army. There has been a bad blood between the two sides for a long time. Now he comes with the order of the general and is ordered to control the Xiyuan Army.
Proud. What the hell, the Xiyuan Army, isn’t it going to lie at the feet of the Northern Army in the end?
He was so proud of himself, but the generals who were scolded by him dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out.
Yes, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were led by the general He Jin to fight against the eunuch group, but they were not He Jin's subordinates, but only cooperative relations and political allies. What qualifications did He Jin have to appoint outsiders to lead them out of thin air?
Xiyuan Army? Are they willing to die or are they from the enemy Northern Army?
The generals made promises loudly, but when they lowered their heads, they winked at each other.
Feng Shuzhi arranged the order of the battle with great satisfaction, and naturally regarded the four thousand troops he brought with him as the supervising team.
Yuan Shao walked out of the Chinese army tent that had been occupied by Jiu. Xia Mou and others gathered around him and asked in a low voice: "General Zhonglang, what should we do? Are we going to let him, a member of the Northern Army, dictate to us?"
"
Yuan Shao didn't answer at first, but turned to look at Cao Cao and asked, "What do Meng De think?"
Cao Cao said: "The overall situation is more important, let's defeat Jian Shuo's troops first!"
He said sincerely: "At first, I know that you are not angry, but now the most important thing is to kill the eunuchs. Even if we have any dissatisfaction, we can only tell the general after we kill Jian Shuo!"
Yuan Shao was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "What Meng De said is true! Guys, we can't let those guys in the Northern Army look down on us! Meng De, your troops are the most organized, so please take the lead!"
Cao Cao graciously agreed to his promise, bid farewell to everyone, and returned to the army to reorganize his troops and prepare for another battle.
Seeing Cao Cao walking away, Chunyu Qiong said anxiously: "Benchu, we can't just let it go!"
Yuan Shao looked around and saw that they were all among his own people, so he whispered: "When the fight breaks out, everyone will be like this, and like this."
Even though everyone present was a bold and reckless person, they couldn't help but look at each other in shock at Yuan Shao's words.
"Isn't this bad?" Feng Fang said hesitantly: "What if the general is blamed?"
Yuan Shao said solemnly: "Although the general is noble, the court has its own laws! Now that the emperor is in power, major affairs in the court should be discussed by the ministers and then implemented. How can we let the general do whatever he wants? He is just a general, not the emperor.
!”
Yuan Benchu spoke loudly and contagiously, and what he said was very reasonable, and all the generals bowed to him.
"Then why not break up with Cao Mengde?"
Yuan Shao said: "Ah Man has loyalty in his heart, and he will do it when we fulfill him."
In Luoyang City, on the wide street between the North Palace and the South Palace, the endless stream of trust in the past has disappeared, replaced by countless armored soldiers and knights. After capturing the North Palace, He Jin dispatched troops and horses along the
Expand it along the southern city wall and city head.
Soldiers from the infantry battalion and the Shesheng battalion were moved to the front, preparing to capture Nangong in one go.
When both sides were mobilizing their troops, Chen Cheng stood on the Xuanwu Gate and shouted to the opposite side: "The Queen Mother and the Empress are both in the palace, and the emperor's coffin is also here. You dare to lead troops to attack. Aren't you afraid of being attacked?"
To kill the nine tribes?"
His voice was loud and clear, even from a distance of one or two miles. After hearing this, the soldiers of the Infantry Battalion and Shesheng Battalion couldn't help but become a little commotion, and cast their eyes on their respective generals.
