When Taihangxing was in chaos, the Shangdang soldiers and horses stationed in front of Baixing also started to move.
"Drag out all the artillery carts!" Sun Jiao ordered loudly while standing under the commander's flag.
Following the military order, hundreds of horses lined up. After every four horses, there is a gun cart in tow. These thunderbolts are much smaller than those used for siege, but with the wheels under them and the horses pulling them, it's as easy as the palm of your hand.
This movement naturally caused a commotion in the enemy camp. Sun Jiao didn't take it to heart, but looked at the horse team in front of him with satisfaction. It seems that it is easier to have horses. I wonder if you can pry some horses from the cavalry? If there is enough animal power, his artillery array is probably unmatched.
The horsepower is far superior to that of manpower, but in a matter of seconds, dozens of artillery carts were pulled to the place three hundred paces in front of the enemy camp. The horses were led down, and the artillerymen swiftly pulled down the baffles and loaded stone bullets. At this time, the enemy camp was already shocked, and wanted to organize soldiers to rush out of the camp and destroy the artillery cart.
However, before they left the camp, they found that more enemies appeared in the gap between the artillery carriages, armed with crossbows and waiting in full force. This artillery array is mainly for long-distance attack, but close-range killing is also not to be underestimated.
Looking at the helpless enemy, a sneer appeared on Sun Jiao's lips.
Divide troops to lure the enemy? joke. As long as there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in hand, Shangdang County soldiers can defeat more than twice as many enemies! The division of troops this time is not to lure the enemy with reality, but to attack from both sides! It's just that General Yi's side was responsible for attracting cavalry, and the Thunder Battalion he led was responsible for annihilating the enemy camp where Baixing was stationed.
Now the artillery carts brought by the horse team have been assembled, and the enemy cavalry has also been led away.
"Prepare, fire!" Sun Jiao shouted loudly.
With the shouting, the drum sounded. The drum is pounding, the momentum is pressing. Soon, however, another louder and more terrifying screeching sound suppressed the drumming. More than a dozen stone bullets roared out with the throwing pole, and their momentum was comparable to a landslide!
With just one throw, the enemy camp collapsed. Such a salvo, not to mention a tent, even the city wall, has made a gap. What's more, the stone bullets were round and fell into the camp, either tumbling and tearing apart a row of tents, or smashing into countless sharp flying stones, causing all the surrounding soldiers to fall down.
Sun Focus nodded: "The order goes on, the striker advances!"
Without the defense, the formation of an organization is impossible. Such an enemy is just a slaughter. They have to go to Luoyang for rescue, these enemy soldiers must not stay!
In just one day, the puppet Han troops and horses in Taihangxing and Baixing were defeated. There are 20,000 enemies killed, and the enemy will be given the head. After finally escaping a dead soldier, he fled in a hurry. The road to Luoyang was completely opened up.
However, such good news did not make Liang Feng show the slightest joy. Sitting in front of the case, he looked at the letter just sent, his face ashen. The Xiongnu army had already passed through the Qilijian, which belonged to Waiguo City Defense, and captured Qingming Gate and Kaiyang Gate. The defenders are retreating, and further in, is the palace!
Now that the troops are dispatched, is there still time to save Luoyang? There are still many enemy troops surrounding the exits of the two roads, and trying to break out will cost an unknown amount of human life and time. Even if they rushed out, this amount of troops would not be enough to defeat the coveted Xiongnu elite cavalry and save the people.
What should I do
Liang Feng stood up and said, "General Chuanlinghu!"
※
Sima Tan was shaking all over. The chill had soaked through his limbs, leaving his mind blank.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This place is too dangerous! Please move your Majesty!"
Someone was shouting loudly, but Sima Tan felt that he couldn't even lift his feet. In front of him, there is chaos, and countless soldiers are swarming towards the city. Every ladder, every rush, is like a huge wave beating against the city wall. Luoyang City has twelve gates, each of which is more than ten feet wide. This should be the strongest fortified city in the world, but under the frantic attack, it was crumbling, as if it would collapse in the next moment.
There were screams all around, and everything seemed to fall into a sea of fire, giving off a pungent stench. Just before his eyes, a Xiongnu soldier suddenly ran up the wall and rushed towards the direction Sima Tan was standing. Four or five long spears were stabbed at the same time, tying him into a blood gourd. But the expression on the man's face was still so hideous that even death could not erase it.
Sima Tan took a step back and bumped into someone. Someone grabbed his arm, ignoring his struggles, dragged him hard, and ran down the city.
"Your Majesty! The city gate can't be defended anymore, you are here, you will make the city gate fall faster! Hurry up! Hurry up and hide in the palace..."
Being forcibly pulled and stuffed into the carriage, the horse galloped up. The slightly trembling car just woke up the little emperor like a dream. Cold sweat brushed down. He really was wrong!
Sima Tan has seen great battles. When Emperor Hui was still alive, he was the crown prince. He has personally experienced the chaos of the kings and the series of wars it has caused. He even led Tingwei to drive away the remnants of Sima Yi who occupied Luoyang. He thought he knew what a big battle was and what a soldier was. Who would have expected to be on the battlefield in person would be so terrifying!
Those soldiers and horses were not the personal soldiers of the county king or the officers and soldiers of the state government that he saw back then. They won't shy away from the emperor because of the emperor's driving, but regard him as the best prey and reward. No one will be in awe of his identity, some are just, except for the greed and hatred!
And he actually let such a dangerous enemy entrenched on the side of the royal city! How many days is the journey from Pingyang to Luoyang? Those Huns are no longer the herdsmen who lived by water and grass in the past. They built a country and captured most of Sizhou and Guanzhong Woye! How many cities have surrendered without a fight, and how many aristocratic families have come under their control? Compared with the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Liu Yuan's hands, what do you have? Is there this empty Luoyang city? !
He shouldn't stay in Luoyang... He must move the capital, move out of this dangerous land! Hide as far away as possible! Although it is important to revitalize the great cause, first of all, he has to live!
"Go to Jinyongcheng!" The little emperor shouted loudly, grabbing the driver. The gate can't be held! He must hide in a safer place! We must gather all the troops and horses in Jin Yongcheng and hold out until the reinforcements arrive!
The car turned around and headed towards the small town of Jin Yongcheng in the west of the city!
That night, the Xiongnu rushed into the inner city, burning and killing them all the way, and even Guozixue and Taixue fell into a sea of fire!

"Ming Gong is going to attack Lishi!" Linghu Sheng received the message and rushed to the Governor's Mansion. He was shocked when he heard such an order as soon as he was seated.
Aren't the Huns fighting Luoyang now? Why didn't they send troops to help Luoyang, but instead attacked Lishi? Isn't this disregarding the Son of Heaven
Knowing what Linghusheng was thinking, Liang Feng handed the letter he just received to the veteran in front of him: "Luoyang City can't be held anymore, the Qingming Gate and Kaiyang Gate are broken, and the Ximing Gate is also in danger. , I'm afraid I won't be able to save anyone. Now the only plan is to surround Wei and save Zhao!"
Linghu Sheng took the letter and glanced at it, his face became tense: "What does Duke Ming mean to send troops to attack Pingyang?"
"Not bad." Liang Feng said flatly, "Pingyang is the capital of the pseudo-Han state, and it is also the hiding place of Liu Yuan's old thief. As long as troops are sent to attack, the Huns will inevitably withdraw their troops. Only in this way can the siege of Luoyang be solved!"
It's a good idea, but it's extremely dangerous! All the Xiongnu brought were elite cavalry. Once they returned to the aid, the speed was astonishingly fast. Can the soldiers who penetrated deep into the territory of Pingyang be able to withdraw safely? What's more important is that now the emperor has sent a message and ordered the king of Qin, but Liang Shijun ignored Luoyang and counterattacked Pingyang. If it falls into the mouth of someone who has a heart, will it make the emperor reborn to be afraid
However, he was full of thought, and the moment he raised his head, he was all pushed back into his stomach. On that handsome face, Linghu Sheng saw nervousness, awe, and no turning back. It was definitely not a fake! He really wanted to save Luoyang, and he was willing to fight for it!
There was a heat in his chest, as if he wanted to set the old bones on fire. Linghu Sheng took a deep breath: "The last general leads the order!"
Seeing Linghu Sheng receiving the order, Liang Feng felt relieved, and immediately said: "General Linghu can lead Li Jun and Tian Xun together to send troops to attack Lishi. General Yi will attack Pingyang County from Shangdang, and since From south to north, go through Pingyang all the way, and return from Lishi. Lishi is the only way to survive, please keep it firmly with General Linghu!"
The same is to attack Li Shi, but the purpose of the person in front of him is completely different from that of Pei Dun back then. This is for the sake of a country, fighting to the death, not for the sake of private interests, killing others! Linghu Sheng did not hesitate, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Duke Ming, the last will be for Duke Ming to take down the Li Shi!"
Two years away from Shi Dahuang, he has defected from many other ministries, and has become a half-abandoned city. If Liang Feng didn't want to use this place as a buffer zone for the war, he would have eaten it long ago. However, in order to guard against Bingzhou soldiers and horses, many soldiers and horses were stationed on the border of Lishi and Pingyang. Once Linghusheng leads the army to attack, he can immediately put the defenders on alert. And when Li Shi came, everyone's eyes would turn to this ancient capital of the Xiongnu, and the strange soldiers that cut into Pingyang from Shangdang would be able to exert the greatest effect.
How many soldiers did the Huns have? With all the elites out this time, Pingyang's defenders are probably less than 20,000. Although this strategy is dangerous, it is not a bad idea!
In order to close Luoyang City, he must give it a try!

"Where's the reinforcements? Why aren't the reinforcements here yet!" Sima Tan quickly walked around the room, like a tiger cub trapped in a cage.
Jin Yongcheng is not very big, and now it is full of ministers who have come to take refuge. Some are not so lucky, and are still fighting in the streets outside, in order to defend this crumbling royal city.
Without those fun things, Wang Yan's expression also deteriorated a little, and he still insisted: "Your Majesty, it has only been six days since the Huns attacked the city, and I am afraid that reinforcements will take a few days..."
As if being whipped, the little emperor stopped and said viciously: "It's been six days! How many days will it take to send troops from Shangdang?! Is Liang Feng thinking the opposite?!"
Wang Yan closed his mouth. This is not because they are walking too slowly, but because Luoyang City is defeated too fast. If it wasn't for the little emperor who went to supervise the battle against all the public opinions, and was in stage fright, how could he have been in such a situation? What's more, whether or not to save the emperor is not a matter of the governors and prefects of the states.
However, Wang Yan didn't want to go out to the city to fight, and naturally he wouldn't say things that would annoy the emperor.
Seeing that all the officials below the steps were speechless, the little emperor could no longer attack, so he had to start again. If you are really sloppy, you can know the loyal ministers. Those who are still in the city to defend against the enemy are the pillars of his great Jin. Others are just for the sake of their own interests, the villains who steal their lives!
Once he left Luoyang, he would have to take them to justice... No, no, he had to leave them to fight the Xiongnu to the death. Two thoughts, like entangled vines, can't be solved. Sima Tan clenched his fists again, exhaling and breathing hard. He has survived so many wars and chaos, this time, he must be blessed...
However, no matter what happened in Luoyang City. An army of 30,000 rushed out of Jinyang and attacked Lishi in a mighty manner. Startled by this action, the Li Shi defender immediately reported to Pingyang. The soldiers and horses stationed in Pingyang began to move in the direction of Lishi. At the same time, another light cavalry crossed the line of defense at Huize and attacked the capital of the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms all the way!
