The south gate of Luoyang City.

After retreating from the front line, the soldiers of the Houwei Army stationed the guards were slowly walking towards the city gate.

The battle flag of Zhao's character hangs low, and the pack horse was carrying severely injured soldiers on its back, while many of the other soldiers were also injured. They just briefly bandaged them, and blood was still flowing on the cloth of the wound.

When the people outside the city saw this scene, they all had an unknown premonition. This was clearly a tragic situation after the defeat. The Zhao army has continued to win in recent years and has not suffered any failure for a long time. This time, it was like a defeated battle, which surprised the people outside the city.

Not only the people, but even the Zhao soldiers guarding Luoyang on the side could not believe it. They got off the city and asked about their robes. After hearing that they were indeed defeated by Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, they immediately confirmed the news.

Even the famous general Xu Shiji failed. Is the Tang army Li Xiaogong, and is Li Jing's army really as powerful as legendary? Or is the Zhao army itself made a mistake. In this battle, the Hou Guards and the Hou Guards suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, Yique, the southern gate of Luoyang was lost, and two cities were lost in the three cities of Heyang to the north. The main force of the Zhao army in Youjing had not arrived yet, and Luoyang City was facing a crisis at this moment.

Not only the soldiers, but also the people were moved. The soldiers walked towards the city gate dejectedly.

A soldier from the Tun Guards looked at this scene and suddenly said loudly: "Brothers, I have defeated Dou Jiande, defeated Liu Heita, destroyed Wang Shichong, and defeated Luoyang City for thousands of miles from Youjing. What is the small failure now?"

Listening to the soldiers' words, the soldiers of the three armies raised their heads. Everyone said, "Yes, our guards defeated many powerful enemies. What's the point of losing for a moment!"

"Don't let others underestimate us. Brothers, raise your heads and raise your chests. The men of my guards are bleeding and will never die!"

The blood is gone, and death will never come in! This sentence has always been the battle call of the Tun Guards. Now the Tun Guards soldiers shouted loudly. The Tun Guards soldiers seemed to have all gained strength again, tidied up their clothes, and advanced with their heads raised.

The drummer beside the mules and horses also beat the small drum. The soldiers regained their spirits and entered the Luoyang city gate with high spirits.

Seeing the Tun Wei army cheering up, the soldiers of Hou Wei army beside him were envious.

A soldier from the Tun Guard said: "They Tun Guard was one of the four earliest government troops in our Great Zhao. They have made great achievements in combat. What is it to fail for a moment, but our Marquis Army has lost the first battle since its establishment. I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over in the future."

"Bah, what are you saying despicable? Is this still our eldest son Zhao?" a soldier retorted.

"You're right!" A voice came.

The two soldiers looked like it was Shan Xiongxin. When they saw Shan Xiongxin, they both said in disbelief: "General."

Shan Xiongxin rode his horse into the city and shouted to the soldiers: "Get up on your spirits. A small defeat will make you like this. What's the way it is! The Tun Guards fight more than us. But what's wrong? Now I fight less now, I will win back one by one. Brothers, there is a saying that you know your shame and then be brave. If you lose today, don't let this tone come out sooner or later!"

After hearing Shan Xiongxin's words, the soldiers of Hou Wei's army in front of the city gate wiped their tears with their hands.

"General, we must avenge this revenge!"

"The blood of brothers will not flow in vain!"

Shan Xiongxin looked at the soldiers and clasped his fists and said, "Brothers, please!"

The soldiers of Hou Wei army stepped down heavily, and the dust in front of the city gate rose. This defeated army seemed to be revitalized at this moment, and the soldiers advanced high.

Xu Shiji heard Shan Xiongxin's words from afar and said to his left and right: "Don't be discouraged if you lose, this is the way of generals. Shan Xiongxin is really amazing."

The general on the side heard this and said, "What is the general saying? The mistakes in this battle are all attributed to the Tun Guards. If it weren't for them, how could my Tun Guards suffer this loss."

Xu Shiji shook his head and said, "So what if you fight a defeated battle? Liu Bang met Xiang Yu and never won a single victory, but he was able to reverse the world at Gaixia. As for Xiang Yu, he lost only a few days ago and took his life. Our army had almost never fought a defeat in recent years. It was too smooth. This time, he learned the lesson of this defeat and made everyone understand that they should not underestimate the heroes of the world."

After hearing Xu Shiji's words, all the generals were taught.

A general said: "General, the Tang army's southern army can reach Luoyang City in less than two or three days. If the northern army crosses the Yellow River again and reaches Luoyang City, can it be defended by two rounds of encirclement Luoyang?"

Xu Shiji looked around and saw that the generals were all unconfident, and immediately said, "If you can't defend, you must guard it!"

However, Xu Shiji also understood that if the Tang army on the north road really crossed the Yellow River, then the pressure would be huge for Luoyang.

At this moment, on the bank of the Yellow River, the Tang army built a floating bridge overnight. All the small boats on the north bank had been transferred to the south bank. The Tang army could still come up with various ways to build a floating bridge on the Yellow River. Now this floating bridge connecting the two banks of the Yellow River is about to be built.

On the south city of Heyang, Su Dingfang was worried and looked at the other side of the Yellow River. The Tang army camp on the other side stretched out to the distance, as if endless. The north bank was shining brightly by the lights in the Tang army camp, as if it was daylight, and even the turbid Yellow River water was illuminated. The sound of fighting in the camp seemed to be able to reach Su Dingfang's ears on the south bank. Nearly 120,000 main forces of the Tang army were pressing on the north bank, almost making the Zhao army on the south bank breathless.

Near Wangwu Mountain, a battle that can affect the battle situation of the Tang and Zhao Kingdom is underway.

On the top of the mountain, Ying Hefu led five thousand grassland cavalry to charge towards the Tang army at the foot of the mountain with a rush of mountains and seas.

When they saw the French cavalry on the mountain, the civil servants were trembling.

"There are so many people and horses!" The civil servants stuttered.

"His father of the Chen family, we are just here to transport grain, so we don't have to work hard for him, the Li family."

The civil servants were loose, and a few of them were trying to apply oil to the soles of their feet.

At this time, several heads fell to the ground, and it turned out that the soldiers of the Tang army had already drawn their swords to cut off those who were about to escape.

"Those who flee without permission will be killed without mercy!"

The generals and soldiers of the Tang army were all fierce and evil. The people did not dare to have any objections and bowed their heads together.

"Come over and block the mountain road." Hearing the Tang soldiers shouted, the civil servants were blank at this time.

The cavalry of the foreign army raised their sabers on the hillside, and everyone present was numb. Can this be blocked by a car?

The civil servants were in a hurry and raised their cars, took out wooden sticks and so on, tremblingly hid and took them down.

However, the Zhao army's cavalry was not ruthless, and the cavalry on the hillside rushed to the bottom of the mountain like an avalanche. The Tang army soldiers fired arrows at the oncoming French cavalry, but the Tang army could not arrange a favorable defensive formation on the narrow road.

Arrows do not cause much damage to the Zhao army's cavalry.

"Here you come!"

The civil servants closed their eyes and raised their wooden sticks to face the war horses, their hands and feet were constantly shaking.

Yinghefu rode his horse and looked at the enemy soldiers who were coming quickly, and sneered on his face. He waved his knife, and the cavalry on both sides raised their bows and arrows and shot them down the mountain.

Shidexi's cavalry and shooting were first-class. They were rising and falling on the horse's backs, placing bows and arrows, and dense rain of arrows flew into the Tang army camp.

The Tang soldiers raised their leather shields to block the arrows, and the civil servants could only hide behind the rooster bus, but many arrows still hit the civil servants' heels, thighs or arms. The pain screams came one after another.

The cavalry of the French army shot arrows and inserted them into the food bags of the chicken bus. The corn like yellow sand was poured out of the bags and sprinkled on the ground.

Seeing the military rations on the ground, Ying Hefu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Yes, this was the Tang army's food team! The leaked military rations were like a hungry wolf who saw blood, and were extremely excited.

kill!

It seemed as if the evil wolf showed his fangs, the grassland cavalry put away his longbow and replaced it with swords. The sound of horse hooves was earth-shaking.

During the charge, the cavalry of the foreign army threw away the fur coats on their bodies, revealing the tattoos that were as big as tigers and wolfs. The huge earrings on half of the ears were also shocking.

The war horses rushed into the Tang army's shield formation with high ambition!

With a loud bang, the people and horses were knocked away. Following the gap, the cavalry of the French army waved their scimitars and slashed desperately like crazy.

The sharp blade draws an arc trajectory like a crescent moon. The thin blade cuts the leather armor of the Tang soldiers without much effort.

With the help of the horse's momentum, the cavalry of the French army slashed by a casual knife. The Tang soldiers in front of them were spinning on the spot, holding the wound on their chests and fell to the ground.

The Tang soldiers picked up their spears and stabbed them at the cavalry of the foreign army. Several gun bars were inserted from under the horse's belly. The war horse made a brutal neigh and rushed to the ground. However, the French cavalry on the horse easily took off the stirrups, jumped off the horse's back, and rushed into the Tang army.

The cavalry of the French army went into the ground, rolled sideways to avoid the gun blade, and then cut through it, and then a leg wearing cowhide boots left the owner's body.

"kill!"

The cavalry of the French army screamed in excitement.

"Brutal One!"

Qian Jiulong killed a French cavalry who wanted to assassinate him and shouted furiously, although he killed one person with his own hands, he looked at the Tang army on his side, and was defeated by the French cavalry.

On the road, the Tang army infantry without formations were no match for the grassland cavalry at all. To meet the enemy in such a scattered manner almost became a situation of single-soldier combat, which was exactly the advantage of the cavalry. What's more, it was very hard for their own soldiers to trek through the mountain road, and the other party was waiting for their labor, which was even worse than the other. As for the 20,000 civil servants, these were not soldiers at all, but burdens.

"The general can't resist it anymore, let's retreat!" A general was scared and cried to Qian Jiulong with tears on his face.

"Retreat? We withdraw, what should we do if the military rations are there? This is the food and grass of the 120,000 army. Without this military ration, the brothers in the Heyang camp will go hungry!"

Qian Jiulong roared angrily.
