Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 362

The attack of the Tang Fan Allied Forces was very smooth, and the rebel army retreated steadily in a series of defeats, and they were about to approach the city of Luoyang.

Almost everyone was very excited, Suzong Li Heng, Guangping Wang Liyu, Guo Ziyi, Prince Huihe and so on. It could be seen that their faces were all flushed, which was a sign of excitement in their hearts.

Suzong Liheng and Guangping Wang Liyu and other courts were of course excited, because Luoyang was recovered, and the day when the rebel army was completely wiped out could be seen.

Excited, Suzong Li Heng cast a cold glance at Li Fei who was in the distance.As long as Luoyang is recovered, and the troops from Jiangling, Jianghuai, Henan Province, Jiangnan and other places gather, he will crush Li Fei to death to completely eradicate this trouble.

The Huihe people and Tubo people were much more excited, mainly thinking of the wealth accumulated by the rebels in Luoyang City for several years, as well as a large number of beauties, which were promised to them by Suzong Li Heng at the beginning.

The soldiers approached the city of Luoyang.

"The rebel army actually built the city wall of Luoyang so high, how much effort will it take!" Guo Ziyi gasped.

The other generals of the Tang Army also changed countenance.

Although I had heard in advance that Anlu Mountain had recruited countless people to double the height and thickness of Luoyang's city walls during the past few years when Anlu Mountain occupied Luoyang City, but when I saw it, I still couldn't help being shocked.

It is conceivable that if An Qingxu defended Luoyang to the death, and without Li Fei's help, Datang would not necessarily be able to capture Luoyang even if 30 died, let alone 40. Sleepy, but equally extremely difficult.

"King of Beiping County, I will leave it to you to open the gate of Luoyang." Guo Ziyi came to Li Fei and said to Li Fei.

"It's a trivial matter!" Li Fei nodded and raised his hand.

Immediately, some Anton iron knight soldiers dismounted from their horses, and unloaded many parts from the horseback, and quickly assembled twenty bed crossbows.Giant arrows more than two meters long were taken out and explosives were placed on the arrows.

The explosive fuze was ignited.

"put!"

"Hoo! Shoo! Shoo!" The sound of the giant arrow piercing the air.

As the eastern capital, Luoyang's city gate is as large as Chang'an's city gate, but with a distance of more than 100 meters, the arrows are tied with explosives, and the accuracy of the giant arrows is not very good.

"Nail! Nail—" Under the horrified eyes of the rebel soldiers on the city wall, twelve of the giant arrows were nailed to the city gate, and the remaining eight were nailed to the wall bricks beside the city gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The explosives exploded, almost shaking the entire city wall of Luoyang.

Although the city gate of Luoyang was made thicker than that of Chang'an City, it would definitely not be able to withstand the power of the simultaneous explosion of the explosives carried by the twelve giant arrows.

The city gate was blown into pieces, and a large number of bricks were blown out.

Surprisingly, the city gate was not directly sealed. After the city gate was blown up, the scene inside the city could be seen directly.

It turned out that An Qingxu abandoned the city and fled, leaving only [-] old and weak soldiers to stay in Luoyang. When the Tang and Fan allied forces approached the city, the anti-army generals in the city were already hesitating whether to open the city gate and surrender, so they did not do their best to defend. And An Qingxu didn't tell them that Li Fei in the Tang Fan coalition army had a sharp weapon that could almost ignore the city defense, so the anti army generals in the city watched the city gate being blown open, their eyes widened in disbelief.

It was already mid-December, the weather was cold, the moat had been frozen, and the city gate could be directly smashed into the city by blowing open the city gate.

"Rush!" Li Fei waved his hand, and behind him, Anton's iron cavalry rushed towards the blasted city gate.

"Kill—" the war horse neighed, and before the rebels in the city recovered from the shock, Anton's iron cavalry had already rushed into the city.

"Recover Luoyang, kill!" Guo Ziyi and others also ordered Tang Jun to rush into the city.

Luoyang City, whose walls have been doubled in height and thickness, may be extremely magnificent, but under the charge of nearly 20 Tang Fan coalition forces, it is like a flat boat, crumbling, and the [-] anti-army old and weak soldiers in the city alone cannot resist.

It is completely one-sided suppression and pursuit.

The rebels in the city either threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees, or were beheaded.

"Prince of Beiping, Your Majesty ordered you to lead the army to hunt down and kill the rebel An Qingxu. You must keep him on the south bank of the Yellow River and prevent him from escaping back to Hebei!" Originally, Li Fei was riding on horseback towards the false Yan. The palace rushed, but a messenger suddenly caught up and conveyed Suzong Liheng's order to him.

Li Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Order, the whole army of Anton's iron cavalry will follow this king to hunt down the 'Pseudo-Emperor Yan' An Qingxu!" Li Fei sent someone to pass the order.

Soon Li Fei took An Dong's cavalry out of the city from the east gate of Luoyang, and chased An Qingxu all the way in the direction where he was fleeing.

In fact, Li Fei knew very well that An Qingxu must have already crossed the Yellow River at this time, and even if he pursued him, he would at most intercept some rebel soldiers who were too late to cross the river.

A sneer curled up at the corner of Li Fei's mouth.This is no credit, if he can't catch up with An Qingxu, Suzong Li Heng can just put a hat on his head.It's just that he doesn't care. At this point, everything is based on strength.

Just when Li Fei left Luoyang with An Dong cavalry to hunt down An Qingxu, Suzong Li Heng stepped into the palace of the 'Pseudo-Yan' under the support of the generals of the Tang army.This Luoyang Imperial Palace originally had the foundation left over from the previous Sui Dynasty, and with the large-scale construction of Anlu Mountain for a period of time, it is no less magnificent than the Chang'an City Imperial Palace.

"Finally, Luoyang is also recovered, and the rebel army will be destroyed soon!" Sitting on the dragon chair left by the 'false swallow', Suzong Li Heng was full of excitement. At this moment, he was full of confidence and felt more and more like the lord of the world. , There is a feeling that the world is under control.

He is the emperor, An Lushan is dead, An Qingxu will perish soon, Li Fei's strength is not even as good as An Lushan back then, why dare to fight him!
Suzong Li Heng's eyes showed a fierce look, he had sent an order to Jiangling, Jianghuai, Henan Road, Jiangnan and other troops to gather in Luoyang, and when these troops arrived, he found an excuse to get rid of Li Fei's future troubles.

Suzong Li Heng, who was full of confidence, could not see that in Luoyang City and the area outside the city, Fanbing, mainly Huihe cavalry, was madly plundering the people here, whether it was wealth or beauties, or even children under the age of five. Within the scope of the area, the people who dared to resist were beheaded by them. For a while, the people inside and outside Luoyang City were crying and shouting, and blood flowed like rivers.

Someone reported the situation to Suzong Li Heng who was in the Luoyang Palace, but Suzong Li Heng remained silent and did not make any decision, let alone stop it. After all, this was a promise he promised to Huihe and Tubo, and he could not Breaking the promise is nothing more than some people inside and outside Luoyang. These Luoyang people were the people in the capital of the "false Yan" a moment ago. They "followed" the false Yan and deserved what they deserved!

I don't know how indifferent the mentality made Suzong Liheng have such an idea, maybe he is deceiving himself and others.
