Chapter 963 Occupying Luoyang (Part 2)
Chapter 961: Occupying Luoyang (Part 2)
Yuan Shao was responsible for attacking the west gate, and the coalition army also had 40,000 troops at the west gate. However, facing the Liang army who tried their best to break through, Yuan Shao chose to preserve his strength.
“Report, Lord, Yang Jian left the city and broke through.”
"The Liang army is powerful and cannot be defeated. If they resist desperately, both sides will suffer losses."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to withdraw the front army, take the initiative to let Yang Jian's army pass, and then the army will follow and pursue.
In addition, send someone to contact the alliance leader quickly and request for additional troops to pursue. "
)
With the troops Yuan Shao had, it was impossible to completely block the Liang army, but it was still possible to block the troops waiting for reinforcements for a while. However, he directly ordered the entire army to retreat, which was obviously intended to let Yang Jian leave to preserve his strength.
If it were anyone else, Qin Hao could directly hold him responsible, but Yuan Shao is a member of the Yuan family after all, and his reasons are indeed very good.
It is really hard to find fault with following and pursuing, after all, the casualties are much smaller than intercepting.
But after the Liang army trapped Long Ruhai, it was not Yuan Shaoneng's final decision. It should be noted that the relationship between the hunter and the prey will change.
North Gate of Luoyang.
Qin Hao picked up the sword that Li Yuanba left on the ground after he fell into the city. After pulling it out, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
It is indeed Longquan, no, it should be Qixing Longyuan.
After all, the only swords that can compete with Qingping Sword for so long without falling behind at all, apart from the top ten famous swords in the world, are only swords like Tianwen, which are second only to the top ten famous swords.
Qin Hao never expected that he did not get Long Yuan from Li Shimin, but actually got it from Li Yuanba.
To obtain the ‘Holy King’, you must collect the five-piece set of the Holy Spirit, but to advance to the ‘Holy King’, you need a jade seal and four of the ten famous swords.
Now Qin Hao has obtained Long Yuan, plus Tai'a and Yuxi in Qin Wen's hands, and Ren Hongchang's generals and Moye.
Qin Hao has completed all the conditions for the 'Holy King' to advance to the 'Holy King'. As long as he gets the last piece of the Holy Spirit suit, the Xuanwu Jade Belt, Qin Hao will directly get the 'Holy King' skill.
However, it is not that easy to get this last piece of equipment. The possibility of getting it from the mall is too low, so Qin Hao can only place his hope on the designated weapon rewarded in the prestige mission 6, "Leave a Name for a Hundred Generations". Summoning cards, it is obviously not easy to complete the 'leaving a name for generations'.
“I don’t know if I can complete the ‘remaining name for a hundred generations’ after the struggle for Dong is over, otherwise I can only rely on proclaiming myself emperor.” Qin Hao thought to himself.
“Report...to the leader of the alliance, the defenders at the two southeastern gates of Luoyang are rapidly shrinking their forces and burning the defense equipment.”
Qin Hao smiled lightly and said to himself: "I want to abandon the city at this time, don't you think it's a bit late?"
“In addition, fires were burning all over the city.”
"What?"
Qin Hao's face became a little ugly. This was a conspiracy. He deliberately used the big city of Luoyang and the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people to delay the advance of the coalition forces, so that the Liang army could escape.
If someone else serves as the leader of the alliance, they may pursue them regardless of the life and death of the people. After all, they are not bordering the forces and Sizhou.
But Qin Hao is different. Jingbei is close to Sizhou, and he is also planning to rule Luoyang for a long time. There is no way he can watch Luoyang turn into a dead city.
Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the wall of fire that was still burning at the west gate. He kept weighing the pros and cons in his heart, but in the end he still favored full rescue. "Immediately pass the order down, and the two generals from the southeast gate will immediately lead their troops into the city to put out the fire. By the way, the priority should be to save people, and then to build."
)
Qin Hao turned his head and looked at Yuan Shu, and said seriously: "Yuan Yuzhou, the Liang army will definitely break out from the west gate, and with the strength of General Benchu, it may not be able to stop the Liang army. You quickly lead the 20,000 Yuzhou army to the west gate to support ”
Yuan Shu asked hesitantly: "But what about the North Gate?"
The north gate was the first city gate to be breached, but Yang Jian built a wall of fire, which hindered the advance of the coalition forces outside the city.
After the fire was extinguished, the coalition forces outside the city could enter the city, but the fire did not go out, which also gave Qin Hao a headache.
"I will mobilize troops from the camp, collect water and sand to extinguish the fire, and then enter the city to extinguish the fire."
Yuan Shu nodded after hearing this, and then led 20,000 Yuzhou troops straight to the west gate. However, he allowed Zhao Kuangyin to lead thousands of troops to stay. Obviously he was not willing to give up the credit for the west gate, and Qin Hao naturally felt this. He won't care either.
As soon as Yuan Shu left, Yuan Shao's envoy arrived. Qin Hao also learned from the envoy that Yuan Shao had let Yang Jian leave. Qin Hao was so angry that he almost cursed.
Yuan Shao, this scheming bitch, is really not easy to worry about.
Qin Hao cursed secretly in his heart and regretted sending Yuan Shao to Ximen, but at this point it was too late to say anything.
“Yuan Shao has already decided on the strategy, so why do you want to come here?” Qin Hao said coldly.
“The state pastor hopes that the alliance leader will send reinforcements to pursue together.”
I’ll send you a hammer!
Qin Hao cursed secretly in his heart, but said calmly on the surface: "Go back and tell Yuan Shao that Yang Jian set fires everywhere in Luoyang before breaking out, and the people in the city are in dire straits.
Our coalition forces are fighting against Dong for the sake of justice. They must not ignore the people of Luoyang. There are currently no extra troops to support him, so let him handle it as he sees fit. "
institutions...
Looking at the envoy's leaving figure, Qin Hao's eyes couldn't help but have a cold light flash in his eyes.
Yuan Shao has already begun to treat him in a positive and negative way, and other princes also have different ideas, and this is not a good sign.
"I'm afraid the day when the coalition forces will fall apart is not far away." Qin Hao sighed.
If that day really comes, it means that Qin Hao will fight alone and fight the world alone, but even so, Qin Hao will not have the slightest fear.
This formation of the Dongdong Alliance has brought many surprises to Qin Hao. Even if the alliance splits, he has gained enough benefits from the princes and has nothing to regret.
Soon, Qin Hao mobilized all the troops of the Kwantung Allied Forces Camp to the North Gate, and at this time, the fire at the North Gate finally came down.
With the fire-fighting efforts of the army, the fire on the North Gate Fire Wall was gradually extinguished. Then hundreds of thousands of troops, led by Qin Hao, entered the city with the North Gate and began to put out fires everywhere in Luoyang City.
At the same time, Han Xin from the east gate and Liu Che from the south gate also entered the city from the southeast gate.
Luoyang, the old capital of the Han Dynasty, was finally completely occupied by the coalition forces.
The next day, after more than 200,000 troops carried out overnight rescue operations, the fire in Luoyang was finally completely extinguished, and the extent of the losses exceeded Qin Hao's imagination.
