The night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it cannot be dissolved. It spreads freely on the curtain in the sky. The stars dotted in the night sky are shining, but their light is taken away by the silver-white moonlight.
On March 11, the ninth year of Taiyuan, in the north of Luoyang City, Daxia Gate.
"Colonel Yang, you said that the Qin army is stationed in Jinyong City opposite. Will they attack Luoyang City?" Colonel Chengmen was returning from an inspection. When he passed the city gate, he saw an old Qin soldier who was familiar with him. You Zi stepped forward to talk and asked.
The captain of the city gate had a sad look on his face and said honestly: "It's hard to say! Although the Jin army has withdrawn from the siege, the Jin army in Jinyong City is so close to us. If there is a sneak attack or something, we have no way of guarding against it!"
I heard that the Jin Dynasty's cavalry general Xu Xiao was leading troops outside the city. Xu Xiao was good at fighting and attacking cities. Along the way from Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, there was no city that he could not conquer, and there was no opponent that he could not deal with. Such an enemy is really unfortunate!
"I heard that Xu Xiao is a god in his military skills. I thought that Luoyang City would not be able to stop him no matter what. Besides, the general of the Zhenjun army went to Yanzhou with his elite Chen Liu to attack the Beifu soldiers. Our Luoyang City troops are weak and he can't even defeat him. Withdrawing immediately after the attack, could it be a fraud?" Veteran Youzi tilted his head and said what he said was reasonable.
The captain of the city gate nodded repeatedly. People said that it was indeed quite reasonable. Even a small soldier could guess the enemy's situation. Wouldn't the people above know about it?
In fact, when the news came out that Fu Hui had ceded Jin Yong City to Xu Zongwen, the main war faction in Luoyang City was very opposed to it. They even went to the Prefectural Mufu to see Fu Hui and asked Fu Hui to cancel the dedication of the city and strengthen the city defense to prevent the Jin army from attacking the city. , but were blown away by Fu Hui's order. Fu Hui's operation made the main combat faction of the Luoyang military feel cold and cold, and completely chilled the hearts of the soldiers.
"Who knows? Let's just do our job well. Can we manage so many things?"
"That's right, if the sky falls, there will be a long way to hold on. I'll just be a big soldier and guard the city gate with military pay. Why worry about all this? We are born to be ordinary people, and we don't have the life of a general."
In the distance, Shen Chong led a group of people carrying wine and meat towards Daxia Gate. The captain of the city gate and the veteran Youzi looked up and recognized Shen Chong.
"Captain Yang, thank you for your hard work!"
"Where did Captain Shen Chen come from?"
"After the Lord heard about the defense change and the Jin army stationed in Jinyong City, the brothers of Daxiamen and Chengmingmen have been under great pressure. I have been specially ordered to bring wine and meat to reward you!"
Shen Chong ordered the people to put down the food and wine. The old soldier Youzi touched the hazelnut and called people to come forward and accept it: "You idiot, what are you doing in a daze? Go and help me!"
Hearing this, a few sharp-eyed soldiers led a few recruits to distribute the wine and meat. When the Qin Army sergeants guarding the city saw the wine and meat, they all smiled happily, and soon they started drinking and eating. Everyone in Daxia Clan was in a good mood. A happy atmosphere.
Lieutenant Yang greeted Shen Chong with a smile: "Brother Shen, you are so interesting this time! If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will never be vague..."
"Okay, okay, to tell you the truth, come here," Shen Chong waved to Captain Yang, who stepped forward in response.
"Pfft!"
"Brother Shen, you!"
There was only the sound of the dagger piercing the human body, and then Shen Chong hugged Captain Yang and raised his hand behind him: "Brothers, do it!"
Hearing this, the sergeants accompanying Shen Chong to deliver wine and meat pulled out the steel knives they carried and rushed toward Daxiamen. The eyes of these people were full of perseverance, and their faces were full of murderous intent. They were extraordinary. They looked like they were training at first glance. A well-trained and strong army.
These are the Jin troops who came out of the tunnel leading to Shiweitian from Jinyong City. They followed Xi Jian's orders and followed Shen Chong to seize the Daxia Gate in the name of rewarding the army, and then assisted Zhuge Kan's army outside the city to enter the city!
When Shen Chong let go of his hand and revealed the blood-stained dagger, and when Colonel Yang fell in front of the Qin army with his eyes open, all the Daxiamen defenders who were eating wine and eating meat were stunned!
When the Jin army's charge came in front of them, the defenders of Daxia Gate were about to fight back, but found that they were completely weak and felt a numbness in their arms. Captain Yang felt dizzy and could not regain his energy, so he could only faint. On the ground, let the Jin army pretending to be the Qin army to reward the army stepped forward to kill him!
"Brothers, open the city gate and welcome Sima into the city!" Pei Qing broke out from the crowd and ordered the Jin army to open the Daxia Gate with his sword.
Shen Chong led the Jin army who entered the city from the tunnel and his own troops and rushed to the city tower to deal with the defenders at the top of the city. When the Daxia gate opened, the earth began to shake. The long-awaited Jin army elites gathered outside the city and rode on Zhuge Kan's Under the command, a group of people poured into the Daxia Gate and killed all the few remaining Qin troops!
As soon as the veteran guarding the city, Youzi, fled into the city, he was shot dead on the spot by a Jin army crossbow on the street...
"Charge!" Zhuge Kan waved his steel sword and commanded the Jin army to charge from the flanks, aiming directly at Fu Hui's Zhou Mu Fu.
There were constant shouts of killing in the city. The people closed their homes tightly and did not dare to take any action. They were all waiting and watching. No one knew what was happening in Luoyang City.
By the time Fu Hui got the news that Zhuge Kan had entered the city from Daxia Gate, Zhuge Kan's forwards had already surrounded the Prefectural Mufu from three floors to the outside!
"It's a disaster! It's a disaster!" Fu Hui hugged the pillar and beat it with his hands, not daring to use all his strength for fear of getting hurt.
"My Lord, break out of the encirclement!" The guards knelt on the ground and begged for orders. All the civil and military officials in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion had already disappeared, leaving only a few Di people with strong martial arts skills and loyalty given to Fu Hui by King Fu Jian of Qin. Guard.
Outside the Zhou Mu Mansion, Zhuge Kan led his army to defeat the Qin army guarding the gate, and led the Jin army into the Zhou Mu Mansion. When Fu Hui was hesitant, Zhuge Kan's soldiers had surrounded him. Fu Hui was surrounded by enemies on all sides and could not escape. He had no choice but to be captured. Several Di guards fought desperately and died of exhaustion.
Zhuge Kan ordered people to take away the dull-eyed Fu Hui, capture everyone in the Prefectural Mufu, and detain them on the spot, waiting for Xu Zongwen to deal with them personally.
Outside the south city of Luoyang City, Xu Zongwen led his army to attack the south city. So far, Luoyang City was besieged and was captured by Xu Zongwen within three days, and Luoyang City announced that it had changed hands.
"My subordinates have fulfilled their mission and captured Luoyang as scheduled. I'm here to come back!" Zhuge Kan strode forward and saluted Xu Zongwen with a beaming face.
Xu Zongwen nodded slightly and raised his hands, "Zhuge Sima was the first to take the lead in this battle. From now on, all our elite cavalry will be under your command. I will also report to the envoy to recommend you as General Yingyang. I hope you can do it well and stay safe." Make military exploits."
Xu Zongwen looked like a fifth-grade general with no titles as soon as he spoke. It cannot be said that the reward was not heavy!
You must know that Pei Qing of the entire Xu army is second only to Xu Zongwen, but he is only the captain of the East China Sea, the general of Yamen, and the fifth rank of his official position. Shen Yu, Zheng Lue, Tian Luo, and Zhang Gui were just captains, actual captains, and had no actual rank. They were considered to be seventh rank at most.
Zhuge Kan was ranked lower than Xu Zongwen and Pei Qing just by conquering Luoyang, and his rank jumped higher than all the generals. The sudden happiness made Zhuge Kan dizzy, until Pei Qing kept poking his arm. , he only realized it later.
"Thank you, brother!"
Among the six sworn brothers in Pengcheng, Zhuge Kan ranked first because of his age, but Xu Zongwen was the leader, and he was willing to relegate himself to being the second eldest brother. Now it seems that this choice is extremely wise!
