    Mai Tiezhang led a thousand men to gallop to help. The sudden appearance of this thousand-man Huainan infantry also surprised the Guanzhong cavalry who were immersed in the killing.  ∈↗They galloped along the way and arrived here with lightning speed, catching the city defenders off guard. Unexpectedly, they were also caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Huainan Army.  Heading toward the city, the magistrate reached for his quiver, but found nothing.  Although I tried my best to save arrows, I still ran out of arrows.  "Mingfu, reinforcements, reinforcements are here!" The county captain wearing iron armor ran over excitedly. After a long day of fierce fighting, this tough and brave county captain was wounded in many places. The white cloth wrapped around the wound on his left arm had already been dyed.  Dark red.  There was even a scratch on his face, but at this time, his face was full of excited smiles, "The reinforcements have arrived, they are our reinforcements." County Magistrate Liu Hongji looked along his hand and saw a flag at the far corner of the street.  Piao Yang, and then a large group of Huainan infantry came in formation with shields and guns.  "Damn it, reinforcements are coming." Liu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief, and he was almost ready to order surrender.  "It's true that lucky people have their own destiny. If you survive today's disaster, you will be lucky in the future." The county captain laughed.  The Guanzhong cavalry in the city had already discovered the arrival of the Huainan soldiers at this time. They gave up continuing to clear out the rebels in the city and turned around to start gathering, preparing to turn back and defeat the newly arrived reinforcements.  Liu Hongji raised his sword and shouted, "Everyone who is not dead yet screams, come out and fight the rebels!" There are not many cavalry in Guanzhong, and there are even fewer defenders in the city. The cavalry in Guanzhong rely on surprise.  Attack the city.  But with the persistence of the county magistrate Liu Hongji and the county lieutenant, they still kept guard for so long.  At this time, reinforcements arrived.  Liu Hongji and others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sullen as they had been being hunted everywhere just now.  Now I can finally spit it out.  Liu Hongji had already seen clearly that the people coming were all infantry, but at this time the Guanzhong cavalry were all in the neighborhoods in the city. The neighborhoods in the city were not a good place for cavalry to fight. Now they were blocked in the city by reinforcements. They were taking advantage of this momentum.  When defeating the rebel cavalry.  He did not hesitate, he raised his sword first and rushed down. The county captain behind him also rushed up with the rest of the people.  "Kill!" Mai Tiezhang had already dismounted, standing at the front with a big knife in his hand, advancing step by step.  Several horses came galloping.  Mai Tiezhang was not afraid. He raised the sword in his hand high and slashed forward with fierce force.  He raised his hand and dropped his sword. Before the knight who was in front stepped down from his spear and stabbed him with his spear, his horse's head had been completely chopped off by the wheat iron staff. He lost his head and his horse suddenly fell to the ground.  Sliding forward under the huge inertia, the knight was caught off guard and had been pierced by several spears.  Liu Hongji and his men also attacked the back of the Guanzhong cavalry.  A street fight in the city began. The fighting was extremely brutal, and people kept falling.  But more people filled the vacancies.  "Fire the arrow!" Qian Shixiong shouted.  Behind the spearmen and shield soldiers were three rows of crossbowmen.  At this time, the two armies were fighting in close combat.  The pikemen blocked the cavalry, and the crossbowmen behind got a chance to show off their skills.  If it is a battlefield hedging outside the city.  The archers could only fire three shots before the battle, but now, these Guanzhong cavalry are trapped in the narrow streets of the city, and they have no advantage of the cavalry at all. The archers are behind, and they can safely shoot as many arrows as they want.  Mai Tiezhang held a broadsword in his hand and led his formation to move forward. Under their feet were the corpses of the rebels one after another.  The setting sun reflected on the spear tips of the Huainan Army, with dots of blood and splashes of blood. In front of the formations of the two armies, there were desperate roars everywhere.  Dengzhou, Neixiang County.  The county seat had already been captured. Yang Xiu's army left Wuguan. Not counting the civilians and craftsmen who were surrendered, there were also 180,000 Han and Tibetan infantry, 70,000 cavalry, and 110,000 infantry.  Yang Xiu brought almost all the troops from the capital. Except for the troops stationed at Tongguan, Pujinguan, and Xiaoguan, which were not moved, Yang Xiu mobilized all the other available troops to personally control the troops and leave.  After leaving Wuguan and entering Dengzhou, the first city they encountered, Neixiang City, refused to surrender. Yang Xiu directly ordered the city to be besieged on all sides. How could the small Neixiang County city with less than a thousand soldiers withstand such a fierce attack?  In less than an hour, the inner city and the countryside had completely fallen. In response to the resistance of the inner city and the countryside, Yang Xiu's reply was to kill all the officials and defenders in the city, leaving no one behind. He only spared the lives of ordinary people. However, the death penalty was exempted, but the living penalty was not.  It was so difficult that all the gold, silver, money and even food in the city, whether it was official warehouses or private houses, were plundered, and then the people were driven to the military camps one after another to transport food and equipment for the army.  "Hasn't there been any news from the forward army?" Yang Xiu, dressed in gold armor, asked the guards.  "Reply to Your Majesty, not yet." "They are all a bunch of trash, 30,000 forward cavalry, let them raid a Nanyang, but so far there is no result." Yuan Heng, the Minister of War, said on the side, "Please calm down and be patient. I believe that the forward army is sweeping through Dengzhou at this time. Nanyang, Xiangcheng, and Luyang Pass must have been captured, and the messenger of victory will arrive soon.  " "Nanyang only has five thousand garrison troops, and the leader is only Guo Yan's son. If their thirty thousand cavalry can't even defeat the little brats of the Guo family, then they really want to come to see me.  Yang Xiu snorted coldly, "Quickly clean the battlefield and send some troops to stay behind. Most of the troops will set off immediately. Let's go to Nanyang first."  " "Don't you go directly to Xiangyang?  Yuan Heng asked. "Although Xiangyang is important, it is not urgent for the time being."  First capture Nanyang, and then seize Luyang Pass. We will clear the perimeter of Xiangyang and block Yang Lin's way south.  Then we will attack Xiangyang calmly. Even if Yang Lin takes a detour to Xiangyang, Xiangyang and Nanyang will be in our hands, and Yang Lin will be too late.  At that time, we will rely on the strong city of Xiangyang to fight Yang Lin and destroy him in one fell swoop.  " Yang Xiu held the Dingjian and thought to himself that Yang Lin must have never imagined that he would send out a large number of troops this time. Not only did he use all the troops in Guanzhong to fight for Jingxiang, but he also left Wuguan so quickly. Now Yang Lin might still be able to  He had just left Luoyang and was walking slowly on the road. When he arrived at Luyang Pass, he suddenly found that the pass was already marked with the flag of Guanzhong. Well, Yang Lin would be surprised when he knew that he had captured Nanyang.  , after capturing Dengzhou, I'm afraid he will be even more surprised. The guards brought Yang Xiu's horse, and Yang Xiu rode on the guard's back, high-spirited. It's still unclear who will die. "Retribution!"  " "Your Majesty, urgent report from the front.  "    "speak.  " "When our forward army attacked Luyang Pass, the Luoyang rebel cavalry arrived and suddenly rushed out with fierce force. Our army was defeated and thousands of cavalry were wiped out.  In addition, the 800 forward cavalry who attacked Xiangcheng had already captured Xiangcheng, but a thousand infantry reinforcements from Nanyang arrived. Currently, all 800 cavalry are gone!  Yang Xiu gritted his teeth, held the hilt of the sword tightly with his hand, took a long and deep breath, and uttered a few words through his teeth, "Where is Nanyang City, have you taken it?"  " "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Nanyang defenders are on tight guard and have not been able to deceive the city gate. They have now surrounded Nanyang City and launched an attack, but there is no result yet.  " "Trash, get out!  "Yang Xiu yelled angrily, and the guard who reported the report rolled away and retreated. Yuan Heng carefully looked at Yang Xiu and asked, "Your Majesty, shall we continue to move towards Nanyang City now?  " "No, change the route and divide the troops into two groups.  Immediately dispatch 50,000 soldiers and horses to seize Luyang Pass, and I will lead the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses to surround Nanyang City.  Yuan Heng, you personally lead those 50,000 soldiers and horses. No matter what, you must capture Luyang Pass for me. Do you understand?  " Yuan Heng swallowed and did not want to accept this task. But looking at the emperor's gloomy face, he did not dare to refuse. In the end, he had to bite the bullet and accept the order. Ruzhou, Jiacheng. After Yi Feng got up, he beat him first as usual.  After doing boxing, sword dancing, bow shooting, and finally taking the horse for a walk, I was already sweating profusely when I came back. There was no need to prepare hot water for a bath, I just jumped into the Ru water and swam for a good time before returning to camp.  As soon as I changed my clothes after returning to camp, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and there was a guard outside reporting, "Master Li Chang wants to see you.  "    "Come in.  " Li Mi came in with a smile on his face. Yi Feng immediately knew that there must be good news. "What good news makes you so impatient to come and tell me.  " "It is indeed good news. The two generals Qin Qiong and Lai Zheng arrived at Luyang Pass in time yesterday. They held a battle and annihilated five thousand captured Guanzhong rebels. Luyang Pass has been stabilized.  In addition, the rebels besieged Xiangcheng and Nanyang yesterday. Xiangcheng was defrauded of the city gate and almost fell. Fortunately, the county magistrate Liu Hongji and the county lieutenant organized the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend it desperately. At the critical moment, Nanyang sent troops north to Luyang Pass to assist in the defense.  A thousand Huainan troops happened to pass by and reinforced in time, finally annihilating the 800 rebel cavalry.  Yesterday, 20,000 rebels besieged Nanyang. The Nanyang defenders were united and did not give the rebels any opportunity to take advantage.  " Hearing that Luyang Pass was under control, Yi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "It is indeed great news. The first battle is a great victory.  Since Luyang Pass has been stabilized and Xiangcheng has not been lost, we must move south quickly to prevent Nanyang from being lost.  " "There is another news. After Yang Xiu learned that the raid on Luyang Pass failed, he was furious and sent Yuan Heng to lead 50,000 troops northward. He wanted to seize the pass again. He himself led 100,000 Han and Tibetan troops to go  Nanyang City is surrounded.  " "Since Qin Qiong and Laizheng have arrived at Luyang Pass, there is nothing to worry about.  Yang Xiu wanted to divide his troops at this time, but it was of no use.  But remember to send a letter to Guo Yan in Xiangyang, telling him to stay in Xiangyang and wait for our army to arrive.  As for General Guo in Nanyang City, let??Don't worry, we will rush to the rescue immediately.  Let him guard Xiangyang, and don't fall into Yang Xiu's trick, giving him an opportunity to lose Xiangyang.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
