Chapter 934: Outside defending and internal suppression
Chapter 932: Defend outside and suppress the inside
Cao Cao''s offensive remarks were not recognized by the princes. After all, more than 200,000 troops were killed and killed in the war. The tragic casualties have made some princes retreat. It was only because of the prestige of the leader Qin Hao that he did not propose to withdraw his troops, so he naturally did not want to increase casualties.
"What a good time?"
Yuan Shu stood up with a sneer at this time and said with disdain: "The Liang army has a lot of troops in the city. It can completely take care of defending the city and quickly suppress the riots. Even if you forcefully attack the city at night, you may not be able to conquer it."
Seeing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Highway, is your intention to ignore it and give up such a great opportunity to scold me?"
"I don''t have this intention, and I didn''t count if I said it. Let our leader make the decision." Yuan Shu said sarcastically.
Qin Hao glanced at Yuan Shu coldly and thought to himself: This is a toad that crawls on his feet, and does not bite people, which is all disgusting.
Yuan Shu also sensed Qin Hao''s cold gaze. When he thought of being so miserable by Qin Hao before, he immediately turned his gaze away guiltily and pretended to be looking around.
Qin Hao''s eyes flashed with silence, and he immediately said to the princes: "What the governor of Caozhou is right. You must not miss this opportunity. Even if you cannot conquer Luoyang, you can take this to attack the Liang army in order to capture Luoyang as soon as possible."
The princes nodded unconsciously, and Qin Hao immediately said, "Han Fu, now order you to lead the troops in Jizhou to attack the East Gate;
Yuan Shao, you lead the Qingzhou army to attack Ximen;
Yuan Shu, you lead the troops in Yuzhou to attack the North Gate;
Gongsun Zan, you lead the troops of Youzhou to attack the South Gate. ”
"No!" Han Fu and the other three shouted in unison, while Yuan Shu was a little reluctant, but still expressed his willingness to comply.
Qin Hao ordered the entire army to rectify for three days, and the fourth day was the official siege of the city, and tonight was the last day, so the entire army was ready to attack tomorrow.
With Qin Hao''s order, the four prefectures led 40,000 troops, and four armies, which were 160,000 troops, rushed towards Luoyang with great momentum.
The coalition forces did not move for several days, but this movement sent out an army of 160,000, and they attacked the four gates at the same time. This power also scared the defenders of each gate.
Yang Jian had already prepared to guard against the coalition forces'' night attacks, and only mobilized 40,000 troops to quell the rebellion, and the remaining 80,000 were used to guard against the coalition forces outside the city.
So even if it is divided equally, the four gates of Luoyang have 20,000 defenders, and their troops are still very sufficient. It is no problem to use the benefits of the city wall to block the enemy army that is twice as good as one.
Yang Su, who was guarding the East Gate of Luoyang, saw that the coalition forces were indeed attacking at this time, immediately calmly commanded the army to defend the city, while Han Fu, who was responsible for attacking the East Gate, sent his son Han Xin to command the attack.
Looking at the towering Luoyang City, a trace of solemnity flashed in Han Xin''s eyes. Although he was not optimistic about this night attack, he still tried his best to command the army''s attack.
The person in charge of Ximen''s defense was Li Keyong, while Yuan Shao sent general Ju Yi to command the attack.
The garrison of the North Gate was Zhang Xutuo, who had a strong ability to command troops, while Yuan Shu sent Zhao Kuangyinyuan to command the attack.
As for the southern gate commander Yin Kaishan, his opponent Gongsun Zan sent Gongsun Xuanyuan to command the attack.
The coalition forces directly attacked four gates. The rebels in the city naturally felt such a big noise.
"Friends, the coalition forces are here to pick us up. Everyone works harder. Just open the east gate and the Liang army will definitely lose."
Some aristocratic families will use this to encourage morale, which has also stimulated the morale of the rebels, but even so, they cannot break through the Wanliang Army.
The difference in average combat power between the two sides was too big, and Yang Jian''s command had no flaws. The rebels had no chance. At this time, three other ambushes also arrived and surrounded and killed from three directions. "Report to the general, the three armies of the north and southwest, north and south have arrived."
"good."
Yang Jian''s eyes were filled with joy and shouted, "Send the order and start siege immediately, and never let anyone go."
There were only more than 20,000 soldiers involved in the rebellious family, but later they were bewitched by the world, and there were as many as 20,000 to 30,000 mobs involved one after another.
The ten thousand Liang troops at the intersection of Dongda Street blocked the rebels several times their own, and repelled the rebels nearly ten times, without letting a single rebel enter the East Gate.
The morale of the rebels was not high at all, and they were chased back one after another, and their morale fell to the bottom.
When they found that three Liang troops were surrounding them, the rebels completely lost their determination to resist and all scattered and began to flee. However, there were Liang troops everywhere, where could they run?
The encirclement arranged by nearly 40,000 Liang troops was shrinking and smaller, and the rebels screamed more and more. Even if they surrendered, they would still be beheaded by the coalition forces, and despair began to spread rapidly among the rebels.
Outside the encirclement, Yang Jian saw that the rebels had completely lost the threat, and immediately ordered the left and right to rebel: "Put down the weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed."
"Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not kill..."
The Liang army from all directions shouted, and when the rebels saw that the Liang army finally accepted the surrender, they did not dare to resist in a single moment, so they quickly put down their weapons and beg for surrender.
The patriarchs of some aristocratic families wanted to stop them, but the rebels were no longer afraid of the Liang army and could not have any desire to resist.
Seeing this, some of the patriarchs collapsed to the ground with a look of despair and muttered to themselves: "It''s over, it''s completely over."
Soon the remaining rebels were captured, and there were sporadic resistances in addition to some places. This rebellion was basically completely quelled.
"Report to the general, the rebels have been completely suppressed. Our army killed approximately 32,000 enemies, captured nearly 20,000 prisoners, and suffered less than 3,000 casualties. The specific casualties are still under statistics."
The Liang army paid a slight price to completely eliminate all rebellions in the city. This riot involving all the aristocratic families in Luoyang, with a population of nearly 60,000, came to an end.
Of course, Yang Jian’s mission is not over yet, and the next time is the time to search the house.
"Press all these rebels into prisoners of war camp."
Yang Jian said coldly, then looked at the generals around him and said in a deep voice: "All families involved in this rebellion will be arrested and all their property will be confiscated."
"No."
All the generals shouted excitedly, after all, the search of the house was a good place. Even if they could only drink some soup, they could still get a lot of benefits.
Yang Jian divided five thousand soldiers to guard the prisoners of war, and sent another 20,000 troops to investigate the major families.
The soldiers of various major families were either killed or captured, and there was no force to resist.
Overnight, nearly 90% of the families in Luoyang were arrested by Yang Jian, and the Luoyang family was destroyed again. The Liang army, whose wealth accumulated was cheap, became the military capital of the Liang army to fight against the coalition forces.
