A week after Yang Guang returned to the Dongdu, a huge army drove out from the Dongdu City, descended along the Luoshui River, and reinforced towards Duan Da and Chen Guang's troops. This army consisted of all the Tianxing Army brought back by Yang Guang. In addition, there were 10,000 Sui troops drawn from Luoyang City, totaling nearly 20,000 troops.

Since the last time he wiped out the invading Wagang thieves in Dongdufeng City, Wang Bodang or other Wagang troops have never invaded Dongdu. Even so, after Yang Guang transferred 10,000 defenders from Dongdu, he was still worried that this would have an impact on Dongdu's defense, and that he was worried that the previous Wagang thief army would attack similar to the previous Wagang thief army.

So he issued an edict to mobilize the people of Luoyang, and selected tens of thousands of males, divided into several shifts to go up the city wall to guard the city. Most of the young and strong people in the eastern capital Luoyang had already joined the army, so most of the selected males were old and weak. But Yang Guang only needed them to act as a warning role. The real resistance to the siege of the robbers was the regular Sui army in more than a dozen newly arranged camps along the city wall.

Luo Shixin, who was in the opposite camp, immediately received news that the Sui army had received a large amount of reinforcements, and felt guilty. He planned to withdraw his 100,000 troops to Luokou City, and then make plans after meeting with Li Mi who was besieging Luokou.

Two days later, the Sui army of Luo Shixin's troops successively pulled out the camps and slowly retreated towards Luokou. After all, Luo Shixin had been a general of the Sui army, and he retreated with rules and regulations. He gradually pulled out the camps and retreated in order to make a certain camp be attacked by the Sui army and attacked the Sui army, the Wagang army of other nearby camps could rush out of the camp at any time and snipe the Sui army from behind.

A large group of Wagang Army, with about 20,000 troops, was marching on the main road. They were not too worried that the Sui army would pursue it from the rear, because there was a large camp of Wagang Army more than ten miles behind them.

It was almost noon and not far from Luokou. When the generals were about to order to rest on the spot, a burst of smoke and dust rose from the skyline in the northwest, and then a roar like thunder came. This sound was very familiar to the soldiers who had been on the battlefield. It was the sound of a large number of cavalrymen.

What came was all the Tianxing Army cavalry brought back from Jiangdu, including two thousand royal heavy cavalry and three thousand light armored cavalry. They took a Viking ship and went directly to the rear of Luo Shixin's army to get ashore from the Luoshui army, intercepting several Wagang troops who retreated first.

The generals led by the Wagang Army were shocked. This team, which was almost entirely infantry, was at a disadvantage to the Sui army's cavalry. It was not accidental that they did not have cavalry, but Luo Shixin's retreat plan was specially arranged in this way.

Luo Shixin transferred the cavalry to the camps that had finally evacuated, and almost all infantry retreated first. This practice is easy to understand. The one who ran first "walked slowly" and the one who broke the back "walked fast". This not only facilitated the retreating Wagang army to cover the retreating Wagang army, but also helped the retreating Wagang army to successfully get rid of the opponent's pursuit.

At this time, the generals and leaders of the Wagang Army hurriedly called orders and gave way to the infantry to arrange a formation to defend the cavalry. Amid the drum call, the Wagang Army soldiers lined up in line to intersect and quickly arranged a formation.

The front of the platoon formed the square formation, and spears with cold light shining densely formed a forest of spear blades in front of the formation. The sword and shield soldiers used tiger-headed round shields to form a shield wall to block the flanks of the square formation on all sides of the spears. Behind the formation were a large number of Wagang Army crossbowmen, who were bent their bows and arrows, preparing to shoot.

The Wagang Army had just formed a formation, and the three thousand flying cavalry of the Sui army arrived in a blink of an eye and began to accelerate the attack. The two armies were still more than thirty battles away, and these flying cavalry released their fingers that were tightly pulling the bowstrings. Three thousand arrows were blessed by horse speed and flew towards the Wagang Army formation with a stronger power than hiking shooting. After a few breaths, the arrows shot, and a large number of Sui soldiers, both spearmen and crossbowmen behind, were injured and fell to the ground. Many were hit by arrows and died on the spot. There were also a few slightly injured people who stood and insisted, but they were still bleeding.

The distance of more than thirty battles is precisely the maximum effective range of ordinary military bows and arrows in this era. The bow tools used by these flying cavalry are themselves specially made large bows, and with the support of horse speed, the effective range can be increased by about 20%, and these arrows can be effectively projected into the Wagang military formation.

But on the other hand, if the crossbowmen of the Wagang Army fired arrows at this time, they had just touched the edge of these light cavalry. The general who commanded them was patient and prepared to wait for the other party to rush forward for a few more battles before firing. Therefore, they raised their hands high but did not wave them.

Who knew that at this time, the generals of the Sui army's flying cavalry made a few whistles with bamboo whistles, and the cavalry immediately divided into two strands in front of the formation and rushed to both sides. And while they were speeding, they still bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the front row of the edge of the Wagang Army formation. The crossbowmen, generals and captains of the Wagang Army who were not triggering could no longer bear it and called in order to start shooting.

The dense arrows splashed from the air like heavy rain, but most of them shot in the open space in front of the two armies, and only a small part could be projected into the activity area of ​​the Sui army's flying cavalry. These flying cavalry were galloping wildly and separated to the sides. In the end, this round of shooting did not produce any effect on these light armored flying cavalry.

However, the snitches in the front row of the Wagang Army were constantly being hurt by the powerful arrows of the flying cavalry. Amid the sound of arrows breaking through the air and the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh, the snitches of the Wagang Army were constantly being shot to the ground. The entire military formation immediately became chaotic.

In a moment, the vanguards and soldiers were deployed here. They raised the tiger-headed shields in their hands and formed a shield wall. The arrows of the flying cavalry hit the shields with crackling crackling, but a few shot the legs and faces of these Wagang swords and shield soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the flying cavalry bypassed the two wings of the Wagang Army. At this time, they suddenly put away their main combat weapon-the big bow and pulled out their unique melee weapon-the curved blade spreading a three-foot-long scimitar. Then they roared towards the crossbowmen behind the Wagang Army.

In front of the running war horses, the crossbowmen of the Wagang Army were frightened. Those who could release an arrow were considered good. They all retreated involuntarily and bumped into the chaotic spearmen in the front row. No matter how the generals shouted, they could not reverse the chaos of the military formation. If this continues, the entire army will collapse within a short period of time.
