The city wall of the new city is three feet high. If you fall from the city wall, you will definitely suffer broken muscles and fractures. If you don't die, you will be left crippled. Such a young general jumped off the city wall as soon as they met, looking like he was about to commit suicide. It was quite a scene. It was scary, but Bei Gongchun seemed to have gotten used to it, and said to Li Rui calmly: "Don't worry, that kid won't die."

Before he finished speaking, Li Rui saw that the young general named Da Xiyan fell heavily to the ground, then climbed up and ran towards this side using both hands and feet. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration in his heart: This guy is really thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Jumping from such a height would be okay. It would be a shame not to practice parkour.

Bei Gongchun explained: "This boy is a Xianbei slave. When I went to buy the slave, I saw that he had very good muscles and bones, so I bought it back and trained him. He did not disappoint me. He developed an extraordinary body at a young age. He is proficient in martial arts, riding and archery, and is good at flying over roofs and walls. Sometimes I even think that he is not suitable to lead an army, and is more suitable to be a snitch."

Li Rui smiled and said, "It's indeed quite suitable."

Before he finished speaking, Da Xiyan pounced on Bei Gongchun's horse money, knelt on the ground with a thump and cried loudly: "General, we were looking forward to the stars and the moon, but we have longed for you back! Go quickly Save the Major General, he is in danger now, if you don’t save him, he will die!”

Bei Gongchun's face suddenly changed, he turned over and jumped off the horse, picked up Da Xiyan with one hand, and roared: "How is Jing'er doing now? Tell me quickly!"

Da Xiyan grinned and cried very sadly: "The Major General was injured when he was guarding Yiyang. He was seriously injured and was unconscious for several days! That bastard Liu Yao took advantage of the Major General's serious injury. They were unconscious and stormed Yiyang. Their strength was more than ten times that of the Yiyang defenders. Without the personal command of the Major General, Yiyang could not be defended at all. The city wall was quickly breached. Everyone had no choice but to protect the Major General. General, retreat to Luoyang!"

Li Rui couldn't help but ask: "Are you just going to watch the barbarians besiege the young general and not go to support him?"

Da Xiyan cried even more sadly: "I went to support! But the troops I had on hand were too few, and there was no way I could kill through the encirclement of the Lakers. They were knocked back halfway! The Major General also sent people over to let I don't care about him, just defend the new city! He said that the Yishui River Valley is our only hope now. If the general wants to go north to support Luoyang, he will definitely pass through here. If I defend the new city, I will defend it for the general. The passage to Luoyang! I can't disobey his order. In addition, that bastard Shi Le is attacking Yingyang again. Once Yingyang is lost, the Yishui River Valley will be cut off. I really have no choice but to stay here and wait. General, come quickly..."

Bei Gongchun loosened his collar, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, stop crying, am I here? Tell me, how many troops do you have on hand?"

Da Xiyan said: "There are only one thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry!"

Bei Gongchun frowned: "Just a few people?"

Da Xiyan said: "We originally had 1,300 infantry and 300 cavalry, but we lost a lot when we went to rescue the major general, and only this is left!" After thinking about it, he added: "That's right. Li Lie still has some soldiers on hand. Now that Shi Le has retreated and Yingyang is safe, why not call him back and let everyone concentrate on going to rescue Luoyang?"

Li Rui frowned. He remembered that when he went south, Bei Gongjing had nearly 30,000 troops at hand, but now, such an important city as Xincheng can only squeeze out a thousand people to defend it.

This shows how stretched his troops are!

He worriedly said to Bei Gongchun: "These few soldiers are not enough!"

Bei Gongchun said: "I never have enough troops, and there is never a time when I don't have enough. Da Xiyan, give me your three hundred cavalry!"

Da Xiyan was full of energy: "Is the general going to save Luoyang? Three hundred cavalry are not enough. I have five hundred people to defend the city. General, you can also take the remaining five hundred infantry with you!"

Bei Gongchun said: "Five hundred people can't defend such a big city... Are there any spare war horses in the city?"

Da Xiyan said: "There are some. There are four thousand war horses in the city. They were all snatched from the hands of the Hu people by the Major General. They are fostered here. Let me find an opportunity to send them to Nanyang..."

Li Rui felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Before Luoyang was surrounded, he had always exchanged letters with Bei Gongjing. He complained more than once that there were too few war horses in Nanyang, let alone three horses per person. It was difficult to even equip each cavalry with one war horse and one rogue horse.

He just complained, nothing

He thought about asking Bei Gongjing to help solve the problem, but Bei Gongjing quietly sent thousands of fine war horses that he had snatched from the barbarians in bloody battles to the new city, preparing to send them to him... This

Major General, you really plan to give him all your belongings!

Bei Gongchun said: "Choose the two thousand horses with the strongest physical strength and the bravest for me, and use them urgently!"

He wanted to change horses because in order to speed up the march and reduce the supply pressure along the way, the two thousand cavalrymen only brought one horse and no war horses. This was something that could not be helped. There were no supply points along the Wanluo Ancient Road, and the war horses were there.

When traveling a long way, it is impossible to replenish energy by just chewing turf and leaves. The more horses you bring, the more supplies you need to bring, and the more supplies you need to bring, the faster you will march. In order to gain time, you can also

All we have to do is fight hard.

This did indeed greatly increase the marching speed, but the price paid was that after leaving the mountainous area, the horses lost weight and lost weight... Of course, even if the cavalry did not lose weight, it would not be possible to ride it onto the battlefield, Beigong

Chun's idea was to change horses when he got to the new city. He seemed to know in advance that there were a large number of war horses in the new city.

A good general never fights an uncertain battle.

Two thousand cavalry immediately went to the racecourse to change horses.

The war horses that Bei Gongjing sent to the new city are all rare and good horses. Each one is more than fifteen hands high at the shoulder. They are fat and strong, with strong muscles and bones. Their hair is shiny all over their bodies. They have obviously been well cared for.

These Mali have

These horses were carefully bred after the introduction of excellent horse breeds from the Western Regions during the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. They once accompanied Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Dou Xian across the desert wilderness, sealed the wolf in Xu, and Leshi Yanran; they once crossed the Pamir High with Li Guangli

It turned out that the Han army's military power reached Central Asia. This horse was originally a famous horse in the royal horse farm, specially used for Changshui, Tunqi and other heavy cavalry. However, it was snatched away by the barbarians, and Bei Gongjing took it from them.

I snatched it back from my hand. But there were more

They are war horses produced outside the Great Wall, such as the Liaodong horses of the Xianbei people, the Jiehu and the Xiongnu curly-eared horses. Anyway, the breeds are quite mixed. However, Bei Gongchun and Li Rui don't care, they only select the good ones in one go.

Two thousand horses.

After choosing the horses, it was getting late. Everyone rested in Xincheng and let the horses, who were tired from the journey, have a good meal and regain some strength. They will have to work hard tomorrow - from Xincheng to Luoyang Zu.

There are more than thirty miles to go, so you can't ride a war horse there, right? If you really ride a war horse, how much strength will the horse still have when you get to Luoyang?

We can only continue to work hard for those fools.

It's a good thing that she didn't bring Yangxiu here, otherwise she would have been so anxious when she saw the army stopping to rest so close to Luoyang. Bei Gongjing is under heavy siege in Luoyang, are you still in the mood to rest? Why don't you rest?

, hurry up and save people!

Bei Gongjing's current situation is indeed very dangerous.

In other words, the situation in Luoyang as a whole is very dangerous now.

Liu Cong became ruthless this time and had to take Luoyang. Under his command, more than 200,000 troops built mountains, built ladders and dug tunnels, and stormed Luoyang day and night. The armies from all walks of life took turns to fight, and they were beaten back all the way.

Along the way, Luoyang was not given any chance to breathe. Bei Gongjing, Xiao Yu, Yang Jun and other generals commanded their respective troops to resist desperately. Even the Changshui Army used long swords and spears as infantry and threw in

They went to the terrifying Shura battlefield on the city wall to fight hand to hand with the Hu people, and fought until their eyes were red. When Bei Gongchun and Li Rui arrived in the new city, it was raining heavily in Luoyang, but even the heavy rain could not stop the Hu people's offensive.

In this blinding rain curtain, wild beasts look like crazy beasts, panting with red eyes, howling and rushing towards each other, killing each other without any mercy or need to find any reason.

There was even more chaos in Luoyang City.

In fact, as early as when the hundreds of thousands of troops were slaughtered in Ningping City, everyone knew that Luoyang could not be defended, and they all asked to move the capital. Gou Xi also wrote a letter saying that Luoyang was definitely undefeatable, so it was better to take advantage of the fact that the Hu people had not yet launched an attack.

, run away quickly! And five hundred guards sent a thousand husks of grain and dozens of ships, preparing to escort the emperor to Cangyuan and escape from the terrible hell of Luoyang. However, it was already time, Luoyang

The civil and military officials still couldn't reach an agreement on the matter of moving the capital. They were either greedy for their treasures and fertile land and beautiful houses in Luoyang and refused to leave, or they were worried that if they were in Gou Xi's territory, everything would depend on Gou Xi's face, and they would no longer have any power.

In short, he refused to agree, so the emperor never made the trip. When Huyanyan's troops came to the city, everyone finally got scared, packed some luggage in a hurry, and prepared to leave!

However, it's too late!

When they were about to set off, they discovered that in order to resist the fierce offensive of the barbarians, most of the pitiful guards in the Forbidden Palace had gone to the battlefield. They could not find a few guards to protect their car.

The fleeing team was attacked by robbers not far from the palace. The pitifully few guards in the Forbidden City could not resist. The big guys had no choice but to flee back again, and all their cars and everything were stolen by the robbers.

What was even more unfortunate was that when Hu Yanyan retreated from Dongyang Gate, he took advantage of it and burned the boats parked on the pier that the emperor was planning to use to escape. Following closely, Liu Yao, Liu Jing, and Wang Mi

These armies arrived and completely surrounded Luoyang!
