The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 113 Siege of Luoyang 5 [Please collect]

At noon, the gate of Yanshi City was bombed into pieces. Suddenly, the gate opened, and the gate could no longer be defended. The family on the tower retreated timidly to the city.

In order to prevent these rich and oil-rich people in Yanshicheng from escaping, Liu Dazhuang went to ambush the three brigades of the second battalion of the Humin Regiment at the other three gates. If anyone goes out of the city, he will go up to arrest them. If he dares to resist the killing!

When letting these soldiers go, Liu Dazhuang solemnly read the military regulations again, with special emphasis on not allowing private hiding. His Liu Dazhuang's soldiers can't foul, because he can't afford to lose that man!

"Kill! The first brigade of the first battalion of the Hu Ben Regiment charged!"

"The second team of the first battalion of the Tiger Corps charge!"

The heroic soldiers of the Tiger Regiment in black military uniforms rode their horses and charged towards the Yanshi City, which had already opened the gate.

"Kill!!!"

"Oh~~"

Soon, the people and horses of the two brigades rushed into the city and kept chasing the keepers who fled around like headless flies. Then the flag of the Pingbei Army was inserted on the east gate of Yanshi City, and the black yellow dragon flag fluttered in the wind on the tower.

"Sir, my lord is not good. The gate is broken. Run quickly!" A housekeeper said to the fat old man who had been eating for half a hundred years with a pale face.

The old man said in horror, "What! The gate is broken! How can it be broken! How did you keep it!"

The housekeeper said with a sad face, "The enemy has cannons, the gate is blown open, and the family are scared. They have no combat effectiveness at all."

The old man was cold all over when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Come on, pack up and go from the west gate!"

"Yes, sir"

----

The waiter said respectfully, "General, the news came from Meng Jin that the Lion Camp has broken through Meng Jin, and now he has rushed to Luoyang after leaving a large team of people."

Liu Xia said in a low voice, "Can news come from Yiyang?"

"Report!"

"Yiyang War Report!"

Liu Xia hurriedly said, "Say it!"

The scout who hurriedly came over said respectfully, "Replied to the general, Yiyang has been broken. A large team of people in the Wolf Xiao Camp is left behind, and the rest of the people are rushing to Luoyang!"

"Good!" Liu Xia said, "Now there is only Yan Shi left. In a few hours, I guess Yan Shi's war report will also come. Where are we now?"

"Try to the general, this place is called Qingniudu. In front of it is the Luo River, and not far from the Luo River is Luoyang City!"

Liu Xia said coldly, "Okay, cross the Luo River first, and then camp here after crossing the river!" Send scouts to order the lion camp and the wolf roaring camp, and order them to gather at Qingniudu as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Dad Da Da~" There was a sound of horses' hoofs, and dozens of scouts rushed around.

"Go on the order and send a large number of scouts to monitor Luoyang City at all times!"

"Yes"

Luoyang City Fuwang Mansion

After Liu Zhong learned that Liu Xia's army had broken through the tiger prison, he had been frightened these days. I'm afraid that one day when he came together in the morning, Liu Xia's army had attacked the bottom of Luoyang City.

However, when Liu Zhong looked at the city wall of Luoyang, he was a little relieved in panic. It is really difficult for Liu Xia's three or four thousand people to attack and enter the tall city building in Luoyang.

"Your Excellency, the enemy was found in the east of Luoyang City!" A personal guard hurried over and said.

Liu Zhong was shocked. Did Liu Xia's army come? So he panicked and said, "Enemy! But did Liu Xia's army come? How many people did they come?"

The guard took a breath and said, "To my lord, the enemy is Liu Xia's army, but there are not many people coming. According to the news from the scouts, there are only a thousand soldiers and horses coming."

"less than a thousand people?" Liu Zhong was a little stunned.

Does it mean that Liu Xia just wants to attack Luoyang City with less than a thousand soldiers? Is Liu Xia so mean to people? Not to mention the height of Luoyang City, it is impossible to break through without tens of thousands of people, that is, Liu Zhong has 3,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang City. Although there is a gap with the combat effectiveness of Liu Xia's army, it is still no problem to defend Luoyang City by the number of people.

"Liu Xia bullies people too much! Do a thousand people dare to attack me? I'm going to slaughter you all!"

"Report!"

This is another guard who ran in in a panic.

Liu Zhong said coldly, "Told!"

The personal guard wiped the sweat on his forehead and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Meng Jin has fallen. According to the news, Mengjin City was occupied by the enemy last night.

"Is Meng Jin lost?" Liu Zhong frowned. Although Mengjin City is also a city, Liu Zhong did not care, because Mengjin did not have many people or large households for a long time, so Liu Zhong has not stationed too many people in Mengjin City, nor did he care about Mengjin City.

"Report!"

Liu Zhong immediately became anxious, and it seemed to be bad news.

Sure enough, the incoming guard said respectfully, "Told my lord, Yiyang has fallen!"

"Yiyang is also lost! First, the Hu prison pass was lost, and then Gong County was lost. Now Mengjin and Yiyang are also lost. What's the next one? What on earth did Liu Xia get out of this? Take down all the cities around Luoyang City, and then slowly surround Luoyang?

"Report!"

At this time, Liu Zhong's most annoying word is 'report'. After a long time, he heard three or four newspapers. Each newspaper was bad news. Liu Zhong wanted to go crazy.

So Liu Zhong roared, "Say, where is it this time!"

Liu Zhong's attitude made the personal guard who came to deliver the message tremble and said tremblingly, "Your Excellency, yes, it's the news from Yanshi who fell."

"What! Yanshi is also lost. Aren't there many big families there? There should be a lot of family members gathered by them! Why did you fall into it!" Liu Zhong was stunned.

The Qinwei was relieved and said, "Your Excellency, it is said that Yanshi City was bombarded by a cannon. The big people inside were arrested, and many of them were killed."

At this time, several of Liu Zhong's staff came over. Liu Zhong said in a low voice, "Do you all know?"

The staff said respectfully, "We all know, so we all came here quickly."

"Let's go, go into the house, you guys go and get the map." Liu Zhong said coldly.

When they arrived at the study, Liu Zhong and the three staff walked to the side of the map that had already been set up.

The map is a fine map of Henan Province, and the place names on it are very detailed.

One of the staff with beautiful faces said, "Your Excellency, according to the news, Yanshi City, Yiyang City and Mengjin City have been taken down by Liu Xia's army, and now another army has been found not far from Luoyang City, which means that Liu Xia is surrounded by Luoyang in four ways."

"The soldiers are divided into four ways?" Liu Zhong muttered.

"Yes, the soldiers are divided into four routes and go all the way to Yanshi. All the way to Mengjin, and all the way to Yiyang, the last way is the army found not far from Luoyang, with a total of four armies. Nowadays, we don't know the specific number of Liu Xia's army, but it is roughly certain that Liu Xia's army will not exceed 5,000. These 5,000 people have no equipment to attack the city. It is very difficult to break through this tall Luoyang City. As long as we can't get out of the city, it is not easy for Liu Xia to enter Luoyang City.

Liu Zhong said happily, "Well said, if it hadn't been for Huarong's carelessness to lose the tiger prison, I could directly guard the tiger prison and directly keep Liu Xia's army away from the customs. How could Liu Xia appear in the territory of Henan Prefecture, and let Liu Xia occupy Mengjin, Yanshi, Yiyang and other places?"

"Go on the order, strictly guard the city, all the gates of Luoyang are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Master

Liu Dazhuang has completely occupied Yanshi City at this time. None of the big families in Yanshi City have run away, and all the food wealth of all the big families has been sealed. Except for a few large families who were slaughtered because of their resistance, most of the big families are honestly captured. Now there are two or three hundred people together with them and their families. All of them were imprisoned in one place. If these big families did not resist before, Liu Dazhuang may have let them go after copying their family property. However, they chose to resist, so it was not up to them. In this battle, some of the recruits of the Hu Ben Regiment died, and they were going to bury these dead soldiers.

After Liu Dazhuang and Niu Yu finished sorting out the things in Yanshi City, they gathered the soldiers together.

"The third brigade of the second battalion of the Huben Regiment stayed to guard the city and take care of those large households. The rest of the people and the troops went to Luoyang with the general, and the artillery brigade also followed!"

"Yes!"

At three o'clock on the twenty-seventh day (from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., now the three-quarters represent 6:00 p.m.), the four armies have gathered under Luoyang City at this time.

More than 3,000 people from the Qinwei Group, Hu Ben Group, Lang Xiao Camp and Lion Camp camped ten miles east of Luoyang City. At the same time, more than half of the scouts of the two regiments and two battalions are around Luoyang City, constantly checking the latest news of Luoyang City.

In the camp, Liu Xia, Chen Liu, Wang Shitou, Liu Dazhuang, Niu Yu, Zhang Yuan, Ma Peng and others gathered here and began to discuss how to attack Luoyang.

These generals did not know that there was an inner response of Mingjun in Luoyang City at this time, and Wang Xiaotong did not know that at this time, Wang Xiaotong had just hit Yanshi City with artillery, and now he was still excited, so he stood up and said happily, "General, I would like to lead the artillery brigade to bomb Luoyang City. It will definitely be completed. Mission!"

Chen Liu fanned the fan and looked at the map not far away with a smile.

Liu Xia waved her hand and said, "Sit down first. Now we don't need artillery for the time being."

Wang Xiaotong thought that with the victory of capturing Yanshi, Liu Xia would definitely use artillery to attack Luoyang. He was ready, so he was ready for Liu Xia to give an order, and then go forward to make contributions. He didn't expect that Liu Xia would not agree, which made Wang Xiaotong a little unwilling.

So Wang Xiaotong said, "General! General, the artillery will definitely complete the task successfully!"

Liu Xia said, "I know the importance of artillery. The merit of your artillery team will not be without you. As for why I don't use artillery, I also have my own reasons. I know that you want to make contributions to war, which is a good thing, and I also encourage you, but this time your artillery team will take a rest first. A moment."
