Chapter 963 Occupy Luoyang (Part 2)
Chapter 961: Occupy Luoyang (Part 2)
Yuan Shao was responsible for attacking Ximen, and the coalition forces also had 40,000 troops in Ximen, but facing the Liang army that had done everything they could to make breakthroughs, Yuan Shao chose to preserve his strength.
"Report, report to the lord, Yang Jian has made a breakthrough after leaving the city."
"The Liang army is powerful and cannot be defeated. If you fight to the death, both will definitely suffer losses."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao''s eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order, withdraw the front army, take the initiative to let Yang Jian''s army go, and then the army follows and pursues.
In addition, people were sent to contact the leader quickly and requested additional troops to pursue. ”
"No."
With Yuan Shao''s troops, it is impossible to completely block the Liang army, but it is still possible to stop waiting for reinforcements for a while. However, he directly ordered the entire army to retreat, which was obviously intended to let Yang Jian leave to preserve his strength.
If this is someone else, Qin Hao can directly hold him accountable, but Yuan Shao is from the Yuan family after all, and his reasons are indeed very good.
Following and chasing does not make people find fault, after all, the casualties are much smaller than the interception.
But after the Liang army trapped Long Ruhai, it was not the final say of Yuan Shao. It should be noted that the relationship between the hunter and the prey would change.
North Gate of Luoyang.
Qin Hao picked up the sword left on the ground after Li Yuanba fell to the city. He pulled it out and smiled immediately after seeing it.
It’s indeed Longquan, no, it should be the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss.
After all, the sword that can fight against Qingping Sword for so long but has not fallen at all. In addition to the top ten famous swords, there are only swords like Tianwen, second only to the top ten famous swords.
Qin Hao never expected that he had not obtained Long Yuan from Li Shimin, but actually got it from Li Yuanba.
To obtain the "Saint King", you must collect all the five-piece sets of the Holy Spirit, while to advance to the "Saint Emperor" requires four of the jade seal and the ten famous swords.
Now Qin Hao has obtained Long Yuan, plus the Tai Ah and Jade Seal in Qin Wen''s hands, Ren Hongchang''s Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.
Qin Hao has completed all the conditions for the "Saint King" to advance to the "Saint Emperor". Next, as long as you get the last piece of the Holy Spirit suit, the Xuanwu Jade Belt, then Qin Hao will directly obtain the "Saint Emperor" skill.
However, it is not so easy to get this final piece of equipment. The possibility of getting it from the mall is too low, so Qin Hao can only hope that the designated weapon summoning card rewarded in the six "Hundred Times of Leave Names" of the reputation mission is obviously not easy to complete the "Hundred Times of Leave Names".
"I don''t know if I can complete the ''Leave a Famous for a Hundred Ages'' after the bidding for Director, otherwise I can only rely on becoming the emperor." Qin Hao said in his heart.
"Report to the leader of the alliance, the defenders of the two southeastern gates of Luoyang were quickly shrinking their troops and burning the defending equipment."
Qin Hao smiled indifferently and said to himself, "I just wanted to abandon the city at this time, don''t you think it''s a bit too late!"
"In addition, fires were lit everywhere in the city."
"What?"
Qin Hao''s face became a little ugly. This was an open conspiracy. He deliberately used the life and death of this big city of Luoyang and the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people to hold back the pace of the coalition army so that the Liang army could take advantage of this.
If others are the leader of the alliance, they may pursue the people regardless of their lives. After all, they are not bound by the forces and Sizhou.
But Qin Hao is different. Jingbei is next to Sizhou, and he is also preparing to rule Luoyang for a long time. It is impossible to watch Luoyang turn into a dead city.
Qin Hao raised his head, looked at the burning fire wall at the west gate, and kept weighing the pros and cons in his heart, but in the end he turned to full rescue. "Immediately send the order down, and the commanders of the two southeast sects will immediately lead the army into the city to put out the fire. By the way, we must focus on saving people, and then the construction."
"No."
Qin Hao turned his head and looked at Yuan Shu and said seriously: "Yuan Yuzhou, the Liang army will definitely break through from Ximen. With the troops in General Benchu''s hand, it may not be able to stop the Liang army. You can quickly lead 20,000 Yuzhou troops to Ximen to support it."
Yuan Shu asked hesitantly, "But what should I do here at the Beimen?"
The North Gate was the first city gate to be broken, but Yang Jian built a fire wall, which hindered the advance of the allied forces outside the city.
After the fire is extinguished, the coalition forces outside the city can enter the city, but the fire has been delayed, which also makes Qin Hao feel a lot of scalp pain.
"I will dispatch troops from the camp and collect water and sand to put out the fire, and then enter the city to put out the fire."
Yuan Shu nodded after hearing this, and then led 20,000 Yuzhou troops straight to Ximen, but Zhao Kuangyin led thousands of troops to stay. He was obviously unwilling to give up the contributions from Ximen, and Qin Hao naturally would not care about this.
As soon as Yuan Shu left, Yuan Shao''s envoy arrived. Qin Hao also learned from the envoy that Yuan Shao had let Yang Jian go, which was so angry that Qin Hao almost swears.
Yuan Shao is such a scheming bitch, really makes people worry-free.
Qin Hao cursed in his heart, and he regretted sending Yuan Shao to Ximen, but it was too late to say anything at this point.
"Since Yuan Shao has set a strategy, why do you come here?" Qin Hao said coldly.
"The state governor hopes that the leader will send reinforcements to pursue them."
I''ll send you a hammer!
Qin Hao cursed in his heart, but said calmly on the surface: "Go back and tell Yuan Shao that before Yang Jian broke through, he set fire everywhere in Luoyang, and the people in the city were in dire straits.
Our coalition forces are defying Dong for justice and must not ignore the people of Luoyang. At present, there is no extra force to support him. Let him deal with it at his own discretion. ”
"This...promise."
Looking at the messenger''s departure, a cold light flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes.
Yuan Shao has begun to disobey him, and the other princes have different thoughts, which is not a good sign.
"The day when the coalition forces collapse is probably not far away." Qin Hao sighed.
If that day really comes, it means that Qin Hao will fight alone and fight the world alone, but even so, Qin Hao will not be afraid at all.
The establishment of the Dong-Dong Alliance has brought too many surprises to Qin Hao. Even if the alliance is divided, he has gained enough benefits from the princes, and there is nothing to regret.
Soon, all the troops of the Kanto Allied Forces camp were mobilized to the North Gate by Qin Hao, and the fire at the North Gate finally dropped.
Under the firefighting of the army, the fire at the North Gate fire wall was gradually extinguished. Then, more than 100,000 troops entered the city with the North Gate under the leadership of Qin Hao and began to put out fires everywhere in Luoyang City.
At the same time, Han Xin from the east gate and Liu Che from the south gate also entered the city from the second gate of the southeast.
Luoyang, this old capital of the Han Dynasty, was finally completely occupied by the coalition forces.
The next day, after more than 200,000 troops overnight rescue, the fire in Luoyang was finally completely extinguished, and the heavy losses exceeded Qin Hao''s imagination.
