A black Warhawk circled over Luoyang, which had turned into a sea of fire. The most prosperous city in the Eastern Han Dynasty was set on fire by the Xiliang army. A large number of people and property were looted by the Lords of Guanzhong and Xiliang. Civilians, horses and soldiers blocked the road and headed for Chang'an.
"This time, we can drive at least 300000 people to Xianyang City, and the number of people pouring into Chang'an area is even more than several million. Chu Zimu, I am the biggest winner. Speed up
Valiant old Qin ordered Li Xin to lead 10000 infantry to return to his rebuilt Xianyang city.
But any great Lord with a little foresight realizes that population is more important than property. In the future, wars between great lords will often last for several years, which will consume the youth of the population. Only when the population cultivates the land can we have money and food.
"Meng Tian, Meng Wu, I have a bad feeling when you lead the cavalry behind the palace..."
When he saw the Warhawk hovering in the air, he felt uneasy.
Longxi Lords have a bigger appetite. They plunder half a million people at a time and intend to take them back to enrich Longxi. The people in Longxi are fierce, and the soldiers have a strong fighting capacity, but the population is not large, so people need to farm and graze.
A group of light cavalry came at a gallop for Dong Zhuo's scouts stationed behind Hulao pass.
"The Lords of Kanto have captured Hulao pass!"
"The twenty fifth route princes are marching forward to Luoyang, driving straight in!"
The cavalry scouts brought the news back, and Dong Zhuo and the Lord of Dong Zhuo's camp were immediately frightened. The Hulao pass, which was defended by 50000 troops, was captured like this!
All the lords were busy looting Luoyang. No one wanted to be cannon fodder for the rear of the palace, which led to the wantonly marching of the princes in Guandong!
Dong Zhuo was the only one who could stop the princes in Kanto.
"Xu Rong can't be reused!"
At this time, Dong Zhuo hung, who had been sold to the lower part of the army, had already been reduced to Li Huajie.
"Which way did the princes capture Hulao pass?"
"Langya Xiang Chu Zimu, Dongjun prefect Cao mengde, Zhongshan Prime Minister Liu Xuande..."
"It's Chu zimou again!" Some of Dong Zhuo was afraid of being beaten by Chu Tian, and he was afraid of his Savior and enemy. "My son is in charge of the Imperial Palace first and then, blocking the bandits in Kanto!"
Lu Bu's Bingzhou army was sent by Dong Zhuo to stop the princes from pursuing.
Lv Bu, who received the order from the empress, did not look very good. No matter how high his force was, it was the Lords of the 25th route and a number of alien lords who broke into the Hulao pass. The force of many of the fierce generals was not much different from that of him, and the strength was much different.
But now Lv Bu, who had no place to go, could only take the commander of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to the rear of Bingzhou army.
The alien Lord knew that if he was overtaken by the princes of Kanto, all the population and booty would be lost, so he also sent a troop to rear.
Li Zhen came to Luoyang with Feixiong army, Huaxiong with Xiliang iron cavalry and a large number of light cavalry. He found that Luoyang had been burned. After a little discussion, he found that he could not go back to see Dong Zhuo in this way.
"If the tiger prison is not kept, my Lord must blame him. It's better to ambush all the princes along the way, behead a number of them, or go back and have an account, saying that we are fighting hard and outnumbered, and then we will retreat. "
Unable to seize the property, they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's reproach, so they began to ambush and destroy the princes along the way.
Yuan Shu and general Ji Ling led tens of thousands of Nanyang soldiers in pursuit of Dong Zhuo. Everywhere, people fled. Yuan Shu and others could not control the soldiers, and soldiers looted among them.
At this time, the importance of commander-in-chief came out. Yuan Shu and others were not competent enough, so they had to let the soldiers plunder them.
The ground trembled slightly, and Yuan Shu thought that he had heard it wrong, but he soon saw a light cavalry from the flank to make a detour, intending to cut off his back road!
Under the leadership of Hua Xiong, the Xiliang cavalry with heavy armor appeared, and hundreds of heavy cavalry launched a charge
"Yuan Shu's army was defeated by Xiliang cavalry!"
Yuan Shao and Han Fu, who were pursuing Dong Zhuo in the rear, were shocked and hesitated because of the terrible situation of Xiliang iron riding in the plain area.
"Keep chasing!"
Ten princes including Chu Tian knew that the Xiliang army was at the end of its tether, so they bullied Yuan Shu, so the commander-in-chief overtook Yuan Shao and others and went to pursue him.
Chu ordered Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan and Li Guang to lead light cavalry to capture the prisoners in front of them, while Zhou Yafu in the rear counted the prisoners.
Chu Tian, a civilian, could not take it away because food was difficult to supply. However, the horses and cavalry were very important to Chu Tian. He specially captured Xiliang cavalry and horses, and then tried to send them back to Langya by using the transmission array.
Twenty thousand Liaodong cavalry passed by the Chu army like a black cloud.
"There are so many cavalry in Liaodong..."
Chu Tian saw Liaodong cavalry all over the mountains and fields, with a bit of greed in his eyes.
There was a lot of pressure on the Lords outside the pass. They not only had to fight with the Lords inside the pass, but also had to wipe out the nomadic tribes and face the pressure from other civilized areas. However, their advantage lies in the fact that a large number of excellent horses are produced in the territory every year, and the difficulty in forming a large-scale cavalry Corps is far less than that of the Lords in the pass.Lu Bu led the rear of the Bingzhou army palace, guarding the area of Luoyang, just met the cavalry of Guan Ming, and the cavalry of Bingzhou fought with the cavalry of Liaodong!
Three Liaodong cavalry generals led by Liaodong cavalry did not retreat. One of them even wanted to fight with Lv Bu!
"The governor of Liaodong is at war with Lu Bu's Bingzhou army!"
"He was not defeated by L ü B, and the two sides were in a stalemate."
"The Lianpo army is approaching the Bingzhou army!"
The battle reports from the front came one after another. Under the pressure of all the heroes in Kanto, Dong Zhuo ordered him to give up the defense of Li and Hua Xiong in Hulao pass, and at the same time sent Guo Si to reinforce Lv Bu.
The two camps are now in chaos. They are fighting with Luoyang as the center, while Dong Zhuo and a group of Lords leave Luoyang with their officials, population and livestock. As long as they pass Hangu pass, the defenders will not be able to catch up with them for a while.
"The world-famous Lu Fengxian, but so!"
The general zongliaodong cavalry of mingguan fought with Lvbu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry several times in a row, but they were not defeated by Lvbu's Bingzhou wolf riding. Relying on the number advantage, they have come back and forth with Lvbu's Bingzhou wolf riding, and there is also the possibility of annexing Bingzhou wolf riding in one fell swoop!
"Capture Lv Bu alive and take him to Liaodong!"
Mingguan wants to get Lv Bu's Bingzhou wolf to ride to fight Gaoli. To throw Lv Bu, a hungry wolf, to Gaoli will cause great damage to Gaoli.
Although there were not many generals in the Ming Dynasty, they were all riding generals, which brought a huge bonus to the cavalry of Liaodong. Li Chengliang led some of the cavalry to hold Zhang Liao, while Zu dashou dragged the others.
"My Lord, there is a heavy infantry team on the other side, and the general's cavalry has suffered heavy losses!"
Just as the Ming Guan's attention was focused on Lv Bu, Zu dashou's personal soldiers came to report to mingguan.
"Heavy infantry? Are you trapped in the camp? "
Mingguan thought of Lu Bu's Ministry of Gao Shun, 700 people, known as a thousand people trapped in the camp!
In the Lord, the trapped camp is a high-level heavy infantry, and because of the small number of people, maybe the rank will be very high.
"I am short of a heavy infantry general to crush the array. I can fill the vacancy with Gao Shun."
Under the guard of his own soldiers, mingguan went to the battlefield where Zu dashou was fighting.
Zu dashou got 4000 cavalry from Liaodong, and was confronting the soldiers of Bingzhou army.
In the middle of the Bingzhou army, there are about hundreds of heavy infantry armed with guns and shields. There are about 2.5-3 meters long guns pointing straight ahead.
"This should not be trapped in the camp, just ordinary heavy infantry."
Mingguan easily recognized that the heavy infantry on the opposite side was not trapped in the camp.
Perhaps even Lv Bu has not had time to recruit the trapped camp for gaoshun, or the recruitment conditions of the trapped camp are too harsh, even Lv Bu has not reached the goal.
Even so, the heavy infantry with a high Shun bonus is amazing.
Not long ago, Zu dashou tried to use light cavalry to disturb the opponent's square array, but failed. Instead, he was attacked by the rear Archer of heavy infantry, killing and injuring hundreds of people.
After Gao Shun, there were Lu Bu's generals Wei Xu, Song Xian and other commanders of light infantry and archers.
The infantry square array with Gao Shun is as hard as a rock and hard to attack.
"No one else will run away."
The Ming pass did not forcibly attack the infantry array composed of generals such as Gao Shun, Wei Xu and Song Xian. The light cavalry's forced assault on the long-standing infantry formation was just a suicide attempt.
All the princes were fighting in the vicinity of Luoyang, and Chu Tian was in trouble.
Li Guang, with three hundred archers of the Western Han Dynasty, ran into Li's flying bear army on the way, and was driven back by the flying bear army.
Learning that Li's flying bear army appeared nearby, Chu Tian ordered the army to slow down the March and start to close down to prevent being attacked by the other side.
Previous battles have shown that Li Li and Hua Xiong may act together, and Chu Tian has to defend himself.
In the plain terrain, he was hit by the Xiliang cavalry led by Hua Xiong from the flank, and the whole army might collapse.
Li Zhen appeared with the flying bear army. Zhou Yafu set aside the Xiliu camp, the shooting sound camp and the low-level archers to confront Li.
"The flying bear army should be a high-level light cavalry who pays attention to speed, plus Xiliang iron cavalry as a high-level heavy cavalry If anyone can catch Li Li and Hua Xiong at the same time, the cooperation of the two arms will cause great trouble to the enemy. "
Chu Tian wants to capture Li Xuan alive.
However, Li Zhen saw that there was no chance and left with the flying bear army.
Chutian continues to March.
He is now very close to Luoyang, you can see the rolling black smoke. As expected, Dong Zhuo set Luoyang on fire, destroying the largest and most prosperous city in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Luoyang has a large number of top-level buildings, so it is a pity to be burned down.
Now the largest city in the Eastern Han Dynasty has become Chang'an.
When Chu's troops arrived, there were more and more princes around. Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Tongque and other princes arrived one after another. They could not help seeing the burning Luoyang City.
Hundreds of thousands of troops could not save the fire that swept through the city because it was difficult to transport water.All the princes who witnessed the fire in Luoyang realized that the order of the court in the Eastern Han Dynasty had been destroyed, and the era of separatism was coming.
All the princes who joined forces at the scene could become enemies.
In the future, the war among the princes would be even worse than the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
"It's just a dream to help Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei's eyes reflected the fire, and the prosperous Luoyang City turned into fly ash in the raging fire, just like a dream. How to save such a big Dynasty when it was set ablaze?
The son of heaven should have been superior to the herdsmen, but he could not even protect himself in troubled times.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian also had their own ideas. Their enthusiasm for saving the imperial court was extinguished, and their eyes were a little tired. In particular, Sun Jian, who suppressed the Yellow turban army and the Xiliang rebel army for the Han Dynasty, saw the burning of Luoyang for several days and was lost in thought.
Ming Guan was at war with Lu Bu. Seeing that more and more princes appeared, Lu Bu withdrew his troops slowly.
"This is not the time to be shocked by the burning of Luoyang City! Dong Zhuo's army is in front, carrying people and property. The daily march is slow. Lv Bu is defeated. It is the time to pursue him! "
After Ming Guan killed and retreated Lu Bu, there were only more than ten thousand cavalry in Liaodong. He found that his strength was not enough to destroy the army of merging states of Lu Bu, so he encouraged other princes to pursue with him.
"Yes, chase Dong Zhuo immediately! Save the son of heaven
Liu Bei took the lead in answering the question.
Since the powerful princes such as Chu Tian have already attacked Luoyang, it is better to pursue Dong Zhuo all the way while winning the victory.
"The cavalry goes first, pursues day and night, and the infantry rear."
In order to catch up with Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, Chu Tian uses light cavalry.
The rest of the princes were arranged in the same way.
Light cavalry can have enough power to attack.
Dong Zhuo and a group of Lords in Guanzhong, with their population and supplies, must not march very fast.
Light cavalry is a force that can create miracles!
"Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, Hua Mulan, go and pursue them. All the horses, generals, gold and silver that can be captured will be captured, and the population will be ignored."
Considering that he had no food in Luoyang and saved the people of Luoyang, he would only let them starve to death, so he did not consider accepting the population of Luoyang.
When there is enough food, population is a resource, while when marching and fighting, population is a burden.
All the light cavalry were sent out to pursue Dong Zhuo, and Chu Tian followed Zhou Yafu and Fang Xuanling.
If it was not for the lack of horses, Chutian even planned to provide each infantry and archer with a fighting horse to increase their mobility.
Compared with Chu Tian, who marched in the rear, Prince Yan, huo'an and other lords personally led western Liaoning cavalry and western region cavalry to pursue. They are used to fighting on horseback.
"When my force can reach 80-90, I dare to be at the forefront myself."
Chu Tian noticed that almost all the Lords of the territory at the border would follow the cavalry in person. In contrast, the Lords in the pass usually hide in the central army or the rear army.
Seeing that there were at least 50000 or 60000 light cavalry sent by the princes in the Ming Dynasty, they were planning to pursue with other cavalry. A group of cavalry from Chenliu county came to mingguan: "Lord, the Lord of Gaoli attacked Xiangping county. The military division is trying to resist. The enemy is powerful. Please return to Liaodong!"
"It's good if I don't take the initiative to attack the Lords of Gaoli. I didn't expect that they would dare to attack Liaodong. Fortunately, I have left the military adviser... "
After weighing the pros and cons, mingguan said to his generals: "Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, Zu dashou, we give up pursuing and return to Liaodong to fight Koryo people!"
