Chapter 604 Defeated into Luoyang
The city of Luoyang dominated the Central Plains and was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties.

In the night, the outline of this ancient city looms, majestic and majestic on the land of Zhongzhou.

At this time, the head of Luoyang city was brightly lit, and the city wall was full of soldiers, as well as young and strong men who had been forcibly pulled in. The officials of the third division of the Qing court in Henan also went up to the top of the city, looking like they were facing a big enemy.

As the night wind blew, the torches in the hands of the green battalion soldiers flickered, and under the light of the fire, the faces of the soldiers of the Qing army showed panic.

At this time, the general in the city heard the strange movement outside the city, and suddenly exclaimed, "There is a situation!"

The Qing army on the top of the city panicked for a while, and a large number of Qing troops holding torches hurriedly boarded the top of the city, ready to respond.

The military officer urgently reported to He Mingluan, Governor of Henan Province of the Qing court, "Master Futai, there is a situation outside the city."

Behind He Mingluan, many officials from the Third Department of Henan Province were frightened, and many of them turned pale instantly.

"Sun Zongbing, we must strictly guard against death, let the soldiers string their bows and arrows, and prepare to defend against the enemy!" He Mingluan took a step forward, his face was gloomy, he leaned on the wall with his hands, and looked down the city. Although he heard the movement, he couldn't see anything clearly.

The defenders on the city did not dare to be careless. After receiving the order, the archers nocked their arrows, and the musketeers watched nervously outside the city.

During the day yesterday, He Mingluan received a message from Geng Zhongming, informing that a large number of Wei troops had left Tongguan to make Luoyang ready.

He Mingluan was also thinking about organizing a batch of young men and supplies to be transported to Shanzhou to support Geng Zhongming. He didn't want thousands of defeated troops to flee from Shanzhou as soon as it was dark, claiming that King Huaishun was defeated, and Gao Yihuan rushed to Luoyang.

This frightened He Mingluan very much, and the city of Luoyang was also in a panic.

At this time, everyone was standing at the top of the city, and the noisy sound in the distance became clearer and clearer from far to near. It was already certain that it was a surge of soldiers and horses. What about Luoyang?

Just as everyone in the city was in doubt, a black shadow below the city finally moved quickly. The closed Qing army immediately pulled the bowstring, aimed at the shadow, and waited for an order before releasing an arrow.

The faces of He Mingluan and the others were full of uneasiness, and suddenly there was a clear voice from the city, "Don't shoot arrows, your own people!"

The defenders on the city cheered up, and He Mingluan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows, staring closely at the shadows below the city, watching them move to the city gate.

It was the Qing army, and nearly a thousand defeated Qing troops appeared at the foot of the city, clamoring to enter the city.

It's just that Luoyang is a heavy city, so I dare not open the gate easily. Although the defeated soldiers shouted loudly, He Mingluan didn't let anyone open the city. Said: "Open the city gate, King Huaishun is back!"

He Mingluan felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, so he leaned on the wall and asked, "Who are you?"

"I, Jin Yuhe! He Futai, open the door! Brothers, their lungs are exploding!" The embarrassed Jin Yuhe responded with his head raised.

Jin Yuhe?After hearing this, He Mingluan hurriedly asked someone to open the gate of the city, but only the urn city, not the main gate. After confirming his identity again, he was put into the city again.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the Qing troops from outside crowded into the Wengcheng, as if something terrifying was chasing after it.

Nearly a thousand Qing troops poured into the Wengcheng, and soon someone saw Geng Zhongming surrounded by the defeated army. After his identity was confirmed, the city gate was opened to allow the defeated army to enter the city.

He Mingluan had already gone down to the city, and led a group of officials from the Third Division to stand by the gate. He saw the bannermen in yellow armor running towards the city as if fleeing for their lives. Many wounded Qing soldiers sat paralyzed on both sides of the street as soon as they entered the city. Sideways, panting heavily, or moaning in pain.

When Geng Zhongming entered the city, some soldiers came forward to lead his horse for him, and then helped him get off the horse. Seeing his distressed appearance, He Mingluan almost lost his eyes in shock. The Qing soldiers were defeated so badly.

"My lord, this~" He Mingluan stepped forward and looked at Geng Zhongming, feeling at a loss for a moment.

Geng Zhongming was helped off the horse, and his body staggered as soon as his feet touched the ground. The soldiers hurriedly supported him, but Geng Zhongming sat down on the street without hesitation.

He is the prince, He Mingluan and others saw him sitting on the ground, so they could only squat down beside him.

At this time, Geng Zhongming took a few breaths, drank another pot of water, and said to He Mingluan: "He Futai, ask people to block the street, and transfer the wounded soldiers as soon as possible. No one is allowed to talk about what happened tonight. The impact is minimized. Understand?"

He Mingluan's heart was shocked, and he understood Geng Zhongming's meaning. The Qing Dynasty ruled the world not by favor to the people, but by coercion, so that the common people could see the miserable state of King Huaishun, and where to put the face of King Huaishun. It is also difficult to carry out work.

At that moment, He Mingluan hurriedly called a few people and gave some instructions, and several officials went to do it immediately.

At this time, Geng Zhongming's eyes drifted away for a while, before he regained his spirits, he gasped and said, "Jin Yuhe, send another fast horse to tell the county king about this matter, and say that the king failed to block the attack and was broken by Gao Yihuan's main force. Now he is guarding Luoyang , unable to cover the flanks of the army, Gao Yihuan has an army of nearly ten thousand horses, let the county king deploy troops to prevent Gao Yihuan from outflanking the flanks."

Jin Yuhe got up with difficulty, and went to send a message after receiving the order.

After ordering these two things, Geng Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief, but there were still many scenes in his mind that he couldn't get rid of.

Among them, he has lingering fears about a black servant holding a long-handled hatchet and a red-faced man who wields a knife.

Several generals under him were either cut open by the big ax of the black man, or cut in half by the red-faced man. The bloody scene left a psychological shadow on people like Geng Zhongming.

If it wasn't for Boluo's rescue this time, I'm afraid I would die without a whole body.

Thinking of this, Geng Zhongming couldn't help standing up, and looked around, only to see the soldiers entering the city sitting paralyzed on the street, wailing endlessly.

His 3 horses and more than 1 infantry are all short-legged. It is estimated that all of them will be finished. Most of the more than [-] cavalry may run out, but they are scattered. It will take time to gather them together. I don’t know if they can Take back half.

Among the kings of Sanshun, Kong Youde died, and he was severely injured. Only Shang Kexi was luckier and didn't get beaten much. Gao Yihuan almost beat them all over.

Seeing the miserable state of his subordinates, Geng Zhongming sighed in his heart, and suddenly asked, "Has Boluo come back?"

People around shook their heads. At this moment, there was a commotion at the city gate, and a group of people and horses entered the gate. Boluo tilted his body and fell off the horse.

Everyone was shocked, Geng Zhongming hurried over, he was relieved when he heard the inspecting soldier said that he was still alive, and told them to take good care of him.

At this time, a general next to him suddenly exclaimed: "My lord, it seems that the son has not come back!"

"What?" Geng Zhongming was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that he still had a son, and immediately raised the speaker, glaring angrily, "What did you say?~"
