Chapter 398 Luoyang falls into Xiang Yu and slaughter the city


    Chapter 397: Luoyang falls into Xiang Yu and slaughter the city


    After pondering for a while, Xi Zhicai said slowly: "Using the excuse of opening up the food channels, most of the troops were transferred out of Luoyang, and 30,000 soldiers who were unwilling to evacuate were left behind, so that they could defend Luoyang with the people."


    Everyone present suddenly had a lit eyes, and Qin Wen nodded and said, "Good idea. With Luoyang''s defense, even if there are only 30,000 defenders, they can still break the two teeth of the Yellow Turban. In addition, if the army is small, Luoyang''s grain storage can last longer."


    "The only troublesome thing is the candidate for the left-behind generals..."


    As he said that, Xi Zhicai looked around the princes present, but everyone lowered their heads tacitly and did not look at Xi Zhicai. The scene was silent and no one talked to her.


    Everyone knows the meaning of Xi Zhicai''s words. Those who stay must be abandoned, so who is willing to stay?


    Seeing that none of the present was willing to stay in Luoyang, Qin Wen sighed helplessly. This reaction was normal. After all, no one would want to do the job of abandoning his son.


    Before he had no choice, Qin Wen was unwilling to hand over this task to his subordinates, but now he had to make a decision.


    "Since that''s the case, then Luoyang''s defense will be handed over..."


    "Leave it to me."


    Just as Qin Wen was about to instruct the garrison, Yang Gun strode in.


    Yang Gun, who is nearly 60 years old, not only put on the armor that he had taken off for more than ten years, but also picked up the ancestral golden sword.


    When Yang Ye saw that his father was going to stay, he immediately said, "Dad, you are so old and have been away from the battlefield for so long, so don''t get involved in these matters. Lord, the last general Yang Ye is willing to lead the army to defend Luoyang."


    Seeing that Yang Ye took the initiative to ask for the fight, Qin Wen was very confused. He didn''t want Yang Ye, a general with both civil and military skills, to stay, but if he didn''t leave, no one would want to stay.


    After hearing what Yang Ye said, Yang Gun glared at the tiger''s eyes and said angrily: "I didn''t have you when I was on the battlefield. Why do I have to compete with me now and compete for the position of the defender?"


    Yang Ye was stunned and turned to smile bitterly, "Dad, this is not what the child means, it''s just..."


    "It''s good if it''s not, I''m sorry you don''t dare."


    Yang Gun did not give his son a chance to say more, but walked directly to Qin Wen and knelt down on one knee, asking for his order: "Yang Gun, the former general of Zhenbei, is willing to shed the last drop of blood for the Han Dynasty. I hope the Grand Commander will agree."


    Yang Ye also knelt down and said, "Yang Ye is willing to stay with his father."


    "No, you can''t stay." Yang Gun scolded sternly, "No one in my Yang family is allowed to stay. It''s enough to have an old man in Luoyang."


    Yang Gun knew that staying in Luoyang was an abandoned son, so of course it was impossible for his sons to stay with him. He was already a silly old man, and his sons were still in their prime, which was the hope of the Yang family''s future.


    "If the Grand Governor does not agree, I will kneel down forever." Yang Gun said firmly.


    Qin Wen could only smile bitterly when he saw this, "Old General, why are you doing this?"


    Speaking of this, Qin Wen didn''t know how to persuade him, and from this Qin Wen could see that even if the Han Dynasty was unpopular, there were still many people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.


    The road to restoring the country is a long way to go. Qin Wen said in his heart.


    After the problem of the guard general was solved, the rest were the defenders.


    When the soldiers learned that the Han Dynasty did not want to give up Luoyang, but opened it to ensure the supply of food in Luoyang, the number of defenders who voluntarily left behind was as high as 50,000.


    Qin Wen finally selected 30,000 from it and handed it over to Yang Gun, and then separated from Luoyang with Qin Hao.


    Because of the troops left in Luoyang, Qin Wen took away 220,000 troops, while Qin Hao still had 100,000. Of course, the Yellow Turbans didn’t know this specific number.


    Yang Gun stood on the wall of Luoyang, and felt a sense of peace as he saw the leaving team. Next was the time for him to use his remaining energy for the Han Dynasty. After receiving the news that the Han army left Luoyang on a large scale, the Yellow Turban Army was in a panic and the Han army actually gave up the old capital.


    The prosperity of Luoyang is always tempting the commanders of Qu, and the Han army that "escaped" has become less important.


    All the Qu generals were clamoring to take over Luoyang and establish the kingdom of heaven.


    But when the Yellow Turban Army drove to the city of Luoyang, the veteran general on the city tower refused to open the city gate to surrender. The Yellow Turban Army felt deceived, so naturally he attacked the city with all his might.


    But what the Yellow Turbans did not expect was that even if the main army withdrew, the remaining remaining troops and foolish people in Luoyang were still tenacious, and they actually repelled the Yellow Turbans that were several times more powerful than them.


    The first day was because the Yellow Turbans were not prepared enough, and the second day, facing the Yellow Turbans army with sufficient preparations, the Han army still persisted stubbornly.


    This persistence lasted for ten days, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and corpses were everywhere outside Luoyang City.


    Outside Luoyang City, the Yellow Turban Camp and the Zhangjiao Camp tent.


    "I made a mistake. I didn''t expect that Yang Gun''s old man would be so difficult."


    Zhang Jiao rubbed his temples, looking like a headache.


    "Yes, who would have thought that Yang Gun, a sixty-year-old man who only led 30,000 abandoned troops, could block my 700,000 army for ten days. But this is already the limit." Zhang Liang said lightly.


    "What, have you contacted the city?" Zhang Jiao asked.


    "Yes, Ma Yuanyi still has hundreds of men, so it should be no problem to take down the city gate with internal and external cooperation."


    Ma Yuanyi was originally one of the old 36-party guild coaches of the Yellow Turbans, responsible for the uprising in Luoyang.


    Later, due to the failure of the Tang and Zhou rumor, Zhang Jiao also realized that the uprising in Luoyang was impossible to succeed, so Ma Yuanyi continued to lurk.


    The Luoyang branch has been searched and hunted by the Han Dynasty several times, and now there are only hundreds of remaining forces in the Yellow Turban, and it is indeed not easy for Ma Yuanyi to persevere until now.


    Late at night, hundreds of Taiping believers holding long swords secretly opened the east gate of Luoyang after killing the soldiers guarding the city gate under the leadership of Ma Yuanyi.


    It was too late for Yang Gun to arrive at night. Thousands of Yellow Turban Army soldiers had already entered. However, under the tenacious resistance of Yang Gun''s inner city defenders and the people, the Yellow Turban Army was still blocked at the east gate.


    The war continued until dawn. Faced with the endless Yellow Turban Army, the Han army and the people of Luoyang had already fallen, but they were still stubbornly supporting them until Ximen was captured by Xiang Yu.


    "It''s over, it''s all over, we can''t wait for reinforcements to arrive."


    Ximen''s fall has caused the morale of Luoyang''s military and civilians to fall to the bottom. To this day, they still think there will be reinforcements, but they don''t know that they are abandoning their sons at all.


    The West Gate of Luoyang.


    Since the main forces of the Han army were concentrated at the East Gate, Xiang Yu easily broke through the West Gate.


    Looking at the prosperous Luoyang City in front of her, a bloodthirsty smile flashed across Xiang Yu''s mouth, and the long halberd waved and roared, "Tell me the order, kill everyone in Luoyang."
