Chapter 213 Luoyang Fire

A black war eagle hovered over Luoyang, and Luoyang had turned into a sea of ​​fire. The most prosperous city in the Eastern Han District was set on fire by the army of Xiliang, and a large number of people and property were looted by the lords of Guanzhong and Xiliang. The soldiers blocked the road and walked in the direction of Chang'an.

"At least 300,000 people can be driven to Xianyang City this time, and the number of people pouring into the Chang'an area is as many as several million. Chu Zimou, I am the biggest winner. Speed ​​up!"

Jiujiu Lao Qin ordered Li Xin to lead 10,000 infantrymen to rush the looted population back to the Xianyang city he rebuilt.

But all the big lords with a bit of foresight realize that population is more important than wealth. In the future, the war between the big lords can easily last for a few years, and the consumption is all young and strong in the population. With the population and farming, there will be money and food.

"Meng Tian, ​​Meng Wu, you lead the rear of the cavalry, I have a bad feeling..."

Jiujiu Lao Qin felt uneasy when he saw the war eagle hovering in the air.

The lords of Longxi had even greater appetites, robbing 500,000 people at a time, intending to bring them back to enrich Longxi. Longxi's folk customs are fierce and the soldiers are very strong in combat, but the population is small, and people need people to farm and herd.

A group of light cavalry came galloping, Dong Zhuo's scouts stationed behind Hulao Pass.

"The Guandong princes have captured Hulao Pass!"

"The princes of the twenty-five routes are marching towards Luoyang, driving straight in!"

The cavalry scouts brought the news back, and Dong Zhuo and the lords of Dong Zhuo's camp were immediately terrified. Hulao Pass, which was defended by a 50,000-strong army, was captured in this way!

All the lords were busy looting Luoyang, and no one wanted to be the cannon fodder at the rear of the palace, which led to the lords of the Kanto region being able to march aggressively!

The only one who can stop the Guandong princes is Dong Zhuo.

"Xu Rong can't be reused!"

Dong Zhuo was very angry, but he didn't know that Xu Rong had been sold to the Kwantung coalition by Li Jue and Hua Xiong who had escaped ahead of time. At this time, he was reduced to a prisoner.

"Which lords captured Hulao Pass?"

"Chu Zimou, Prime Minister of Langya, Cao Mengde, Governor of Dongjun, Liu Xuande, Prime Minister of Zhongshan..."

"It's Chu Zimou again!" Dong Zhuo was a little scared of being beaten by Chu Tian, ​​and he was afraid of his savior and enemy. "My son is in front of the palace, and stops the gang of thieves in Guandong!"

Lu Bu's Bingzhou army was sent to the rear of the palace by Dong Zhuo to prevent the Guandong princes from pursuing him.

Lu Bu's face was not very good-looking when he received the order from the queen. No matter how high his military strength is, it will not help. The twenty-five princes and a group of alien lords who have entered the Hulao Pass are the lords of different people. Many of the fierce generals are not much different from him in the military force, and the military strength is even more different.

But now Lu Bu, who had nowhere to go to Dong Zhuo, could only bring Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals in command and the rear of the state army.

The foreign lord knew that if he was overtaken by the Kanto princes at this time, all the population and spoils would be lost, so he also dispatched a force to the rear.

Li Jue brought Fei Xiong Jun, Hua Xiong, Xiliang iron cavalry and a large number of light cavalry to Luoyang, and found that Luoyang had been burnt. After a little discussion, he found that he could not go back to see Dong Zhuo like this.

"For the loss of Hulao Pass, the lord must be blamed. It's better to ambush the lords along the way, behead a few, and go back and have an explanation, just say that I will fight hard and be outnumbered, so I retreat."

The two couldn't grab the property, and they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's censure, so they set up an ambush.

Break all the way princes.

Yuan Shu and the general Ji Ling and others led tens of thousands of Nanyang soldiers to pursue Dong Zhuo, and there were people who fled everywhere. Yuan Shu and others could not control the soldiers, and the soldiers plundered among these people.

At this time, the importance of the commander came out. Yuan Shu and others were not capable enough, so they had to let the soldiers loot.

The ground trembled slightly, Yuan Shu thought he heard it wrong, but he soon saw a group of Xiliang light cavalry detour from the flank, intending to cut off his back path!

Under the leadership of Hua Xiong, the Xiliang iron cavalry, wearing a thick and heavy armor, appeared, and hundreds of heavy cavalry launched a charge...

"Yuan Shu's army was defeated by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!"

Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others, who were chasing Dong Zhuo in the rear, were shocked when they heard the news, and they hesitated in fear of the fear of Xiliang's iron cavalry in the plains.

"Keep chasing!"

The ten princes including Chutian knew that the Xiliang army was already at the end of the line, so they bullied Yuan Shu, so the commander-in-chief surpassed Yuan Shao and others, and went to pursue it.

Chu Tian ordered Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan, and Li Guang to lead the light cavalry to capture the prisoners in the front, while Zhou Yafu in the rear counted the prisoners.

The civilians Chutian could not take away because the food supply was difficult, but the war horses and the Xiliang cavalry were very important to Chutian.

The 20,000 Liaodong cavalry passed by the Chutian Army like a black cloud.

"There are so many cavalry in Liaodong..."

Chutian saw the Liaodong cavalry all over the mountains and plains, with a bit of greed in his eyes.

The lords outside the pass are under a lot of pressure. They have to fight against the lords in the pass, sweep the nomadic tribes, and face the pressure of other civilized areas. But their advantage lies in the fact that a large number of excellent warhorses are produced in the territory every year, and it is far less difficult to form a large-scale cavalry army than the lords of Guannei.

Lü Bu led the Bingzhou army behind the palace and guarded the area around Luoyang, just in time to meet Guan Ming's cavalry, and the Bingzhou cavalry confronted the Liaodong cavalry!

The three Liaodong cavalry generals led the Liaodong cavalry to meet Lu Bu and did not retreat. One of the fierce generals even wanted to fight against Lu Bu!

"The prefect of Liaodong is at war with Lu Bu's Bingzhou army!"

"He was not defeated by Lu Bu, and the two sides are deadlocked!"

"The Lianpo Army is approaching the Bingzhou Army!"

The battle reports from the front came one after another, and Dong Zhuo, under the pressure of the Guandong heroes, ordered Li Jue and Huaxiong Hall to give up defending Hulao Pass, and at the same time sent Guo Si to reinforce Lu Bu.

The two camps are a bit chaotic now, with Luoyang as the center of the melee, while Dong Zhuo and a group of lords are leaving Luoyang with hundreds of officials, people, and livestock. As long as they pass Hangu Pass, the defenders will be unable to catch up for a while.

"The world-famous Lu Fengxian, that's all!"

The general of Mingguan, the Liaodong cavalry, fought against Lü Bu's Bingzhou cavalry several times in succession, but he was not overwhelmed by Lv Bu's Bingzhou cavalry. With the advantage of the number, he went back and forth with Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry, and even annexed the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in one fell swoop. possible!

"Capture Lu Bu alive and escort him to Liaodong!"

Mingguan wanted to get Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf ride to fight the kingdom of Goryeo. Throwing Lu Bu, the hungry wolf, into the Goryeo Kingdom will cause huge damage to the Goryeo Kingdom.

Although the number of generals in Mingguan was not large, they were all cavalry generals, which brought huge bonuses to the Liaodong cavalry. Li Chengliang led some cavalry to hold Zhang Liao, while Zu Dashou held other soldiers and horses.

"My lord, the opponent has a team of heavy infantry, and the general's cavalry suffered heavy losses!"

Just when Mingguan's attention was on Lu Bu, Zu Dashou's personal soldiers came to report to Mingguan.

"Heavy infantry? Could it be a trap?!"

Mingguan thought of Lu Bu's subordinate Gao Shun, a trap camp with a population of seven hundred, known as a thousand people!

In "Lord", the trap camp is high-level heavy infantry, and because of the small number of people, maybe the rank will be very high.

"I'm missing a heavy infantry general for the formation, and I can use Gao Shun to fill the vacancy."

Under the escort of his own soldiers, Mingguan went to the battlefield where Zu Dashou was fighting.

Zu Dashou was given four thousand Liaodong cavalry and was confronting the infantry of the Bingzhou army.

In the middle of the Bingzhou Army's army, there are about several hundred heavy infantry with guns and shields, and there are about 2.5-3 meters of long guns pointing straight ahead.

"This should not be a trap camp, just an ordinary heavy infantry."

Mingguan can easily recognize that the heavy infantry on the opposite side is not a trap camp.

Perhaps even Lu Bu had not had time to recruit Gao Shun for the trap camp, or perhaps the recruiting conditions for the trap camp were too harsh, even Lu Bu did not meet them.

Even so, the heavy infantry with the high Shun bonus is already amazing.

Not long ago, Zu Dashou tried to use the light cavalry to disrupt the opponent's phalanx, but he was unsuccessful. Instead, he was counterattacked by the archers behind the heavy infantry, causing hundreds of casualties.

Behind Gao Shun were Lu Bu's generals Wei Xu, Song Xian and others in command of the light infantry and archers.

The infantry phalanx with the presence of Gao Shun is as solid as a rock, and it is not easy to attack.

"Waiting for the arrival of the other princes, none of them can escape."

Mingguan did not forcibly attack the infantry phalanx formed by Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals. The light cavalry forcibly attacked the phalanx of infantry that was waiting for the battle, but they were only seeking their own death.

Various princes are fighting in the vicinity of Luoyang, and Chutian is also in trouble.

Li Guang, with three hundred Western Han cavalry archers, ran into Li Jue's Flying Bear Army on the way, and was driven back by the Flying Bear Army.

Knowing that Li Jue's Flying Bear Army was nearby, Chu Tian ordered the army to slow down the march and begin to gather in order to prevent them from being attacked by the other side.

The previous battle showed that Li Jue and Hua Xiong might act together, and Chutian had to guard against it.

In the plain terrain, the Xiliang iron cavalry led by Hua Xiong collided from the flank, and the whole army might collapse.

Li Jue appeared with the Flying Bear Army, and Zhou Yafu set aside the Xiliu Battalion, Shesheng Battalion, and low-level infantry archers to confront Li Jue.

"The Flying Bear Army should be a high-level light cavalry that pays attention to speed, plus the Xiliang iron cavalry as a high-level heavy cavalry... If anyone can capture Li Jue and Hua Xiong at the same time, the cooperation of the two people's arms can cause damage to the enemy. No small trouble."

Chu Tian wanted to capture Li Jue alive.

However, Li Jue saw that there was no chance and left with the Flying Bear Army.

Chutian continued to advance.

He is now very close to Luoyang, and he can see the billowing black smoke. Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang, and the largest and most prosperous city in the Eastern Han district was destroyed.

Luoyang has a large number of top-level buildings, so it is a pity to be burned down like this.

Now the largest city in the Eastern Han District has become Chang'an.

When Chutian's troops arrived, there were more and more princes around. Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Tongque and other princes arrived one after another. They saw Luoyang City, which was full of fire.

Hundreds of thousands of troops could not save the fire that swept the whole city, because it was difficult to transport water.

All the princes who witnessed the fire in Luoyang realized that the order of the Eastern Han court had been destroyed, and the next era was the era of separatism.

The princes who join forces at the scene may become enemies.

The war between the princes in the future may be even more tragic than the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

"It's just a dream to help the Han room."

Liu Bei's eyes reflected the raging fire, and the prosperous Luoyang City was turned into ashes in the raging fire, like a dream. The huge dynasty was set on fire and the capital was set on fire, how to save it?

The Son of Heaven was supposed to be high above the ground, acting as herdsmen, but in troubled times, he was powerless to protect himself.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian also had their own ideas, their enthusiasm for saving the court was extinguished, and their eyes were a little tired. Especially Sun Jian, who suppressed the Yellow Turban Army and the Xiliang rebels for the Han court, saw Luoyang being burned for several days and fell into contemplation.

Mingguan was at war with Lu Bu. Seeing that more and more princes appeared, Lu Bu slowly withdrew his troops.

"Now is not the time to be shocked by the burning of Luoyang City! Dong Zhuo's army is ahead, carrying people and belongings. The daily marching speed is slow. Lu Bu is defeated. It is the time to pursue him!"

After Mingguan killed Lu Bu, there were only more than ten thousand Liaodong cavalry left. He found that his strength was not enough to destroy Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, so he encouraged other princes to pursue him with him.

"Yes, immediately chase down Dong Zhuo! Save the emperor!"

Liu Bei was the first to respond.

Since Chu Tian and other powerful princes have already reached Luoyang, it is better to pursue and kill Dong Zhuo all the way.

"The cavalry goes first, pursues day and night, and the infantry follows."

In order to catch up with Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, Chutian used light cavalry.

The rest of the princes are also arranged in the same way.

Only the light cavalry has enough mobility to carry out the attack.

Dong Zhuo and the other lords of Guanzhong were carrying the population and baggage, so the marching speed would not be very fast.

Light cavalry is a class that can perform miracles!

"Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, and Hua Mulan, go and pursue them. The war horses, generals, gold and silver can all be captured, and the population will be ignored."

Chutian considered that he had no food in Luoyang, and saving the people of Luoyang would only make them starve to death, so he did not consider accepting the population of Luoyang.

When there is enough food, the population is a resource, and when the army is on the march, the population is a burden.

All the light cavalry were sent out to pursue Dong Zhuo, and Chu Tian followed Zhou Yafu and Fang Xuanling.

If it weren't for the lack of warhorses, Chutian even planned to equip every infantry and archer with a warhorse to increase their mobility.

Compared with Chutian, who was marching in the rear, Prince Yan, Huo An and other lords personally led Western Liaoning cavalry and Western cavalry to pursue them. They were used to fighting on horseback.

"When my force can reach eighty or ninety, I dare to rush to the front myself."

Chutian noticed that almost all the lords whose territory was at the border would follow the cavalry in person. In contrast, the lords in Guannei generally hide in the middle or rear army.

Mingguan saw that the number of light cavalry sent by various princes was at least 50,000 or 60,000, and they were planning to go to chase with other cavalry. A team of cavalry from Chenliu County found Mingguan: "Lord Lord, the lord of Goryeo attacked Xiangping. County, the military division is trying to resist, the enemy is huge, please return to Liaodong!"

"The lords of Koryo, it would be good if I didn't take the initiative to crusade them. I didn't expect that they would dare to attack Liaodong. Fortunately, I left a military advisor..."

Mingguan weighed the pros and cons and said to the generals under his command: "Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, and Zu Dashou, we give up the pursuit and return to Liaodong to fight the Koreans!"
