Chapter 369

When the cavalry was about to kill the mountain bandits, Dugu Tian's soldiers had reached the distance of 100 steps in front of the mountain bandits. Seeing that the crossbow soldiers had reached the shooting distance, Dugu Tian did not hesitate. He ordered the sword and shield soldiers to go forward to protect the front and sides of the crossbow soldiers, while the long spearmen were ready to attack after ten rounds of continuous firing. At the command of the commander of the crossbow soldiers, one thousand crossbow soldiers were divided into three columns and attacked according to the usual training method of three-stage attack, while the sword and shield soldiers went out long ago to protect the three directions of the crossbow soldiers. Although the mountain bandits at this time had no ability to attack the soldiers coming out of Luoyang, Huang Zhonglian's soldiers had asked the general and soldiers to strictly implement the battlefield regulations.

With a single command, the formation was completed, and the soldiers kept a neat formation and moved towards the mountain bandits. The neat marching sound of thousands of soldiers finally startled the mountain bandits outside. The attack distance of Yishi Dahuang crossbow is 80 steps, but the enemy on the opposite side has no strong attack ability. In order to give full play to the attack ability of the crossbow soldiers, Dugu Tian only ordered the crossbow soldiers to attack when it was only 60 steps away. For a moment, the dense crossbows and arrows, like flying locusts, rushed towards the mountain bandits like a black cloud.

"Buzz..."

"Puchi, Puchi..."

After ten rounds of crossbows and arrows in a row, the formation of mountain bandits facing the direction of Luoyang City was like being cut by a knife. 30000 crossbows and arrows took thousands of lives of mountain bandits. The fierce attack makes the mountain bandits behind a mess. No more mountain bandits listen to the command from the head. They all retreat back like ghosts. No matter whether there is someone behind them or not, or even worse, they turn their heads and cut at the mountain bandits in front of them. After killing the mountain bandits in front of them, they scream without turning back Rush.

Seeing this, Dugu Tian immediately ordered the long spearmen to attack, while the sword and shield soldiers were still escorting the crossbow soldiers. They divided into two teams and prepared to encircle and annihilate the mountain bandits from both sides. At this time, Huyan had already led the cavalry to kill the mountain bandits, and gathered cavalry directly behind them. Seeing that Dugu Tian's soldiers had gone to battle, Huyan divided the cavalry into two teams, surrounded all the mountain bandits in the north gate from both sides. According to the news from Chihou, after the mountain bandits in the north gate occupied Luobei Town, the only one who really went to fight was Huyan More than 20000 bandits, and more than 20000 others are old and weak women and Confucians. Now they are all settled in Luobei town.

In this way, the biggest gap in Luoyang is the population. Now that the mountain bandits have sent tens of thousands of people, if they don't want it, it will really make people angry. So Huangfu Chaobo ordered Zaozhi and Huyan to defeat these mountain bandits as much as possible and then drive them all to Luobei town. At that time, as long as one thousand cavalry were sent to surround Luobei Town, these people would be the captives of Huangfu Chaobo after the biggest rebel army in the West was solved. At that time, the population of Luoyang would increase by tens of thousands. As planned, more than 20000 mountain bandits attacked the city at the north gate, plus thousands of rebels driven from the east gate, with a total of nearly 30000 people. 5000 people were lost under the city wall, and more than 3000 people were destroyed by cavalry. Then more than 3000 people were destroyed by the crossbow soldiers of Dugu Tian who left the city. Finally, more than 15000 people were driven to Luobei town.

After driving all these mountain bandits into Luobei Town, it was getting dark. Huyan ordered thousands of soldiers to surround the four gates of Luobei town. Then they lit a huge bonfire every other distance around the town, and arranged three thousand cavalry to patrol the night in turn. In this way, more than 30000 mountain bandits in Luobei town became mountain bandits Huangfu has gone over the dishes in the bowl. Both the east gate and the south gate have cleaned up the battlefield, so all the captured goods have been transported to the temporary designated place in the inner city for storage. As for the prisoners, they have all been put together. All these will be sorted out in detail after the war. Now there is still a big problem to be solved.

When the other gates opened, Ximen's rebel attack was also in an orderly way.

From the beginning of filling the moat in the morning, the leader of the rebel army showed good military accomplishment. Well, according to Huang Zhong, he should be the general of the other side and also the person who knows the soldiers. It took the rebels nearly half a day to fill the moat with several siege channels under the protection of the cannon fodder and the shield soldiers. However, facing the defenders with the same attack strength, the price paid was only half of that of the north gate. After the siege passage was ready, the rebel generals did not immediately arrange soldiers to attack the city. Instead, the soldiers made a slight adjustment and divided into two parts. One part escorted two well aprons and several other siege equipment to slowly approach the city, while the other part ate on the spot. Looking at the actions of the rebels outside the city, Huang Zhong said with a smile: "it seems that the other side really knows the soldiers, but that's it!" Then he ordered half of the bowmen to harass the rebels who were escorting Jinglan outside the city, while other soldiers and horses arranged to eat. By this time, it was almost noon, and the civilians in the city had already prepared lunch. Since the rebels were not in a hurry to attack, it was better to let the soldiers eat first.

Sure enough, the rebel attack was not strong enough. When the Jinglan, who was escorted by 5000 soldiers, arrived at the attack area, he did not advance any more, but shot at the defenders on the city wall. Jinglan had a high advantage, while the city wall had a number advantage. No one on either side could do anything. Only after all the troops in the camp had finished their lunch did the rebels prepare for their first real attack. Huang Zhong on the wall of the city is ready for defense."Dong Dong"

After hearing the sound of drums, about ten thousand rebel soldiers came out of the camp, made a formation at the gate of the camp, and then marched towards the wall. These players who helped to guard the city on the wall seemed to be in order. These rebels can be said to be elite soldiers. Huang Zhong didn't know what these rebel generals were thinking and what they were relying on to attack Luoyang. Although Luoyang had less than 30000 troops, there were 5000 Xiliang iron cavalry here. Even if there were no matched Xiliang generals, there were no special arms Those who are better than the intermediate arms, plus the other 20000 soldiers who have gone through several battles, and Huang Zhong's training in the past two months, are twice as strong as the junior soldiers of the rebels.
