Dai Zong was worthy of being a divine Taibao. After being separated from Yue Fei and others, it only took him a day and a half to arrive at Xingyang County, where he met with Yang Gao and told the story.
After listening to Dai Zong's report, Yang Gao suddenly realized: "I said how could Yue Fei fight with Li Wenzhong? This is what happened!"
Yang Gao had also led troops for many years and quickly realized what would happen if Luoyang was captured by the Xia army. Immediately ordered the generals to beat drums and gather in the royal tent to discuss matters.
Fang Xuanling, Liu Bowen, Li Jing, Xue Rengui, Wang Shichong, Chang Yuchun and other generals entered the imperial tent one after another, saluted Yang Gao respectfully and said: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"
"My lords, you don't need to be too polite. You can live without courtesy!"
The situation in Luoyang was urgent, and Yang Gao did not want to pay attention to the red tape. He waved his hand and immediately asked Dai Zong who was standing aside to recount the situation in Luoyang.
After listening to Dai Zong's narration, everyone in the tent took a breath of air-conditioning and was filled with fear. Liu Bowen patted his forehead with a fan thankfully: "God bless Your Majesty, if Dou Jiande succeeds in his sneak attack on Luoyang, the situation in the Central Plains is likely to change drastically!"
Yang Gao nodded and said, "Yes, but it's a pity that their whereabouts have been exposed. Now they are in the light and we are in the dark. As long as we plan properly, we can completely annihilate this Xia army and give Dou Jiande a hard blow."
Wang Shichong immediately came out and asked for battle: "Your Majesty, Luoyang has always been guarded by my ministers. I am incompetent and I am willing to lead my troops to Luoyang to annihilate this partial division of the Xia army."
Yang Gao shook his head slightly and said: "Although Duke Zheng is well versed in the art of war, I would be relieved to have you come forward. But if Dou Jiande in the city finds out that Duke Zheng is not here, he will most likely guess that Duke Zheng has led his army back to Luoyang. A message will be sent to the general of the partial division, so that our plan to completely annihilate the partial division of the Xia army will come to nothing."
Although what Yang Gao said seemed to make sense, it was actually just a shirk. Whoever led the troops should cease their activities and leave the flag to bluff in the camp.
As for not letting Wang Shichong go, in the final analysis, it was Yang Gao's distrust of Wang Shichong. He would not let Wang Shichong lead the army alone until the end of the war in the Central Plains, in case he had other small thoughts and watched from the other side.
Wang Shichong heard the shirk in Yang Gao's words and retreated sadly. He secretly thought that Yang Gao, a kid, was much more scheming than his father, Yang Guang, and no matter how much he put on a show, he would never let go of his vigilance against him.
Liu Bowen shook his feather fan twice, cupped his hands and said, "If Your Majesty is worried that Dou Jiande will warn the troops in the direction of Luoyang when Dou Jiande sees the mysterious disappearance of our general, I would like to recommend someone to you."
Yang Gao asked tentatively: "Could it be that Yue Fei was recommended by Liu Qing?"
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise. After listening to Guard Dai's account, I feel that Yue Fei is brave and resourceful and can indeed be of great use!"
Yang Gao nodded and said, "What Liu Qing said is very agreeable to me. Zhou Dewei, Yang Zaixing, and Zhang Dingbian, the three of you led 40,000 fine cavalry out of the camp at night, sneaked day and night and rushed to Luoyang to assist the former General Zuo Wuwei." Yue Fei annihilated the Xia army."
Three generals, Zhou Dewei, Yang Zaixing, and Zhang Dingbian, came out together, raised their hands and said, "I will obey your orders!"
. . . . . . . . . .
More than ten days later, thirty thousand Xia troops who had been wandering in the mountains and forests for a long time finally came out. Looking up, the towering walls of Luoyang City came into view.
"Luoyang City has finally arrived!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Luoyang City in the distance and secretly said to himself: "One day, I will make it my capital, Zhu Yuanzhang!"
The nephew Li Wenzhong on the side excitedly waved the sword in his hand, his eyes full of high fighting spirit: "Uncle, Luoyang City is very close at hand, and the order is about to be issued. My nephew can't wait to see this great Sui Dynasty. The imperial capital!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Wenzhong, smiled slightly, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "My sons in Hebei, now is the time for us to make contributions. Let me take Luoyang City in one go. The first one to enter the city will be rewarded." Ten thousand taels of gold.”
"Kill!"
Thirty thousand Xia army cavalry roared into action. Stimulated by ten thousand taels of gold, they all turned into mad beasts and charged towards Luoyang City with great force.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked coldly at the Xia army that was charging toward Luoyang City like a tide. His pockmarked face was filled with arrogance and confidence: "Dou Jiande, Zhao Kuangyin, Li Yuan, Yang Gao, Wang Shichong, who are you, you dare to aspire to the world! This is There is only one master in the world, and that is me—Zhu Yuanzhang! None of you are qualified!"
On the top of Luoyang City, Yue Fei, who was dressed in armor, stood high on the city wall holding a Liquan gun. Facing the Xia army who were coming with overwhelming killing sounds, not only did he not show any fear on his face, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the Xia army under the city had already approached within 200 steps of Luoyang City. Yue Fei raised the Liquan gun in his hand and shouted loudly: "All troops, fire arrows!"
Yue Fei gave an order, and the eight thousand crossbowmen who had been hiding under the city wall for a long time quickly appeared and fired their bows and arrows at the bottom of the city.
Arrows rained down, and the sharp arrows flew in the sky, forming a huge arrow net, covering tens of thousands of Xia troops who were charging madly.
Puff puff! ! !
The sound of sharp arrows entering the body was endless, and screams came one after another. Countless Xia soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows, and their blood soon dyed the land in front of Luoyang City red.
"The whole army is only allowed to advance, not to retreat. Keep moving forward and fight into Luoyang City!"
Li Wenzhong waved his sword to block the incoming arrows and shouted loudly.
"Get out of the way and let me, Xiong Kuohai, come and clear the way for you!"
With a loud shout, the tall Xiongkuohai rushed to the front on foot, with a cooked copper stick dancing like an airtight seal, and he rushed straight to the head of Luoyang City as if there was no one else around.
Under Li Wenzhong's fierce urging, and under the influence of Xiongkuo Hai's first charge, tens of thousands of Xia troops shouted slogans, braved the rain of arrows from the city, quickly filled in the trenches, and rushed to the bottom of the city wall. Soon there were hundreds of ladders set up on the parapet.
"Come on, the first one to enter Luoyang City will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold!"
All Xia's soldiers roared and climbed up the ladder bravely, hoping to be the first to rush to the top of the city and make the first contribution.
"Let go of the rolling wood and rocks! Smash these arrogant bandits to death!"
Yue Fei scolded, and rolling logs and boulders fell down like raindrops in an instant. Countless Xia soldiers were hit and fell to the bottom of the city, turning into a ball of flesh.
"Damn it, get out of my way!"
Xiong Kuohai saw that his soldiers were hit with heavy casualties. He couldn't help but feel angry. He roared and climbed up with a cooked copper stick in one hand. He struggled to pick up all the rolling logs and rocks that hit him. open.
"This big man is so brave!"
Yue Fei saw Xiong Kuo Hai climbing up unstoppably at the top of the city. He couldn't help but gasped. He immediately picked up his eight-stone bow and shot towards Xiong Kuo Hai.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Yue Fei has entered the sharpshooting state, the force is +8, the base force is 97, and the current force has increased to 105."
