It was near dawn. On the open field, the night wind was especially chilly, the elite soldiers of the dragon army of close to twenty thousand were lurking outside the Luoyang City, after the soldiers had had had enough sleep, they pulled themselves together and prepared to attack at dawn.

Qin Army was ordered to light fires outside the city and light torches to prevent the Dragon Army from ambushing them during the night. Unexpectedly, the night passed peacefully and by the time dawn arrived, Qin Soldier had already gradually relaxed, thinking that the rebel army would not come to attack the city tonight.

The bonfire outside the city was burnt to ashes, piles of charcoal and black and red were mixed with each other. The cold wind caused sparks to fly, and the smoke was mixed with the morning frost; the fog was hazy.

The thirty thousand soldiers of the garrison were guarding the fortress due to the advantage of occupying the ground, but since both the front and back sides were threatened by the dragon army, it frightened many soldiers so much that they didn't have the will or the confidence to fight. The soldiers of the garrison were secretly talking about the change in expression of the tiger, and most of the patrolling soldiers who were supposed to stand guard the night watch had not gone on patrol because once the rebel army attacked the city, the soldiers who had to die first would definitely be the soldiers on the front line.

It was already dawn. Seeing that there were no movements on the outskirts of the city, the city guard and vanguard general both breathed a sigh of relief. They decided that the Dragon Army would not attack the city for the time being and began to let their guard down.

Guan Ying stood at the dark slope outside the city, seeing that the morning mist was dense and the Qin Army was tired and lacking the will to fight, the time to attack the city finally came, she turned around and ordered the messenger: "Quickly send the order, the vanguard will be preparing to attack."

After the order was sent out, Lv Ze and Yuan Ying immediately ordered the troops to attack the city. The thousand elite soldiers of the field army split into three groups and went ahead, using the morning smoke as a cover, they quietly crawled towards the moat.

Yuan Ying crawled past the second wave, and was only a few meters away from the first wave. It seemed that if he wanted to ambush, he would have to rush past the moat, and if the target was exposed, the sneak attack would be impossible, and the only plan would be to shoot the guards at the top of the city wall with powerful crossbows, and use the opportunity provided by a few rounds of crossbow bolts to quickly climb to the top of the city wall, seizing the initiative and advantage in terms of height.

After he made his plans, just as he was about to pass this strategy on to Lv Ze, the city gate suddenly opened. A pair of patrolling guards with around thirty people walked out, carrying firewood in their arms as they left the city to continue burning.

This was a chance, and also a crisis. Once the bonfire is ignited again, the first two rows of elites will be discovered by the guards at the top of the city gates, and in such a dangerous situation, Yuan Ying immediately made his decision, he quickly crawled for more than six meters, and then ordered in a low voice: "Once the people in front aimed at the guards at the city gates, they would immediately rush towards the city gate. The people behind cannot protect Qin Soldier, and should not let the Qin Soldier have the chance to close the city gates.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The elite soldiers in the front row aimed at the hundred or so guards at the entrance of the city gate. Immediately, miserable shrieks could be heard and over a hundred elite soldiers quickly swam into the river, the first wave of the remaining two hundred elite soldiers madly shot their crossbows towards the city gate.

After hearing the scream, the guards were alarmed. First, the guards near the city gate were instantly shot down by dozens of people, and the guards at the back quickly ordered shield-hand to block them from the front, in order to protect them from entering the city gates. And at this time, the one hundred elite guards had already climbed up from the other side of the river and pulled out their swords to attack the city gate.

At the same time, the guards at the top of the city wall also noticed it immediately, shouting and nocking their arrows. Just as they were about to launch a barrage of arrows at the soldiers who were climbing over the moat, they were shot down by the hidden crossbow bolts. Those who were hit by the arrows fell down the city wall like rotten grapes after they had matured.

"The Dragon Army is attacking the city. The Dragon Army is attacking the city!" The guards at the city gate shouted, wanting to warn their comrades to come over, but once they shouted, the Qin Soldier in the city became even more nervous. Some of them grabbed their weapons to reinforce the city gate, while others fled while hugging their heads.

The hundred elite soldiers rushed towards the city gate, but they were still several zhang away from it, the shield-hand inside had already rushed through the door and blocked the arrow attack, while the other thirty odd men outside the city were extremely anxious, once the city gate was closed, they would be shot to pieces by the arrows, and immediately rush out and smash into the city gate that was about to close, shouting, "Let them in, the guards inside are also panicking and unable to block it, the two forces are not able to stop each other."

In that short moment, for the hundred elite warriors, it was already a matter of time before they won. They madly rushed forward, and the dozens of people at the front slashed and rammed together, smashing fiercely into the Qin Soldier in front of the door. With a loud bang, a hole the width of a person was revealed by the crack in the door.

Seeing that, Chen Ying immediately ordered for the soldiers to shoot far away from the city gate. As a cover for the thousand wild army soldiers, Lv Ze and Yuan Ying led their troops past the moat, and over a thousand of them shot arrows towards the city gate.

As the two gates faced off against the Qin Wei, a gap was opened between the two gates. Under the clash of short soldiers, the corpses that had died in the battle were stepped on under their feet, and some of the corpses that had been blocked by the door were stuck in the gap, blocking the door. If the Qin Army wanted to close the gate, they had to move away the corpses or squeeze them into meat pancakes, while the rebel soldiers outside the city bravely rushed forward and used their halberds to block the door.

As the confrontation lasted for a very short period of time, the elite soldiers of the allied army led by Lv Ze and his, as well as the thousand or so guard s in the city, also arrived at almost the same time. They squeezed in and out of the city using all their strength, but suddenly, with a "crack" sound, the shaft of the iron fan at the city gate was forced to repeatedly be broken.

As a result, the crater of the city suddenly opened wide, and the allied forces and the Qin Soldier engaged in a chaotic battle, determined to snatch the key point. Both sides fiercely fought with red eyes, and roared as if they were fighting a wild beast, but in reality, they were much fiercer, and the lethality of their attacks could not be ignored, because the wild beasts did not know how to forge weapons.

Guan Ying's face was filled with joy, the destruction of the city gate was tantamount to opening up a door for a battle, the Qin Army did not have the advantage in terms of location, the dragon army however had unstoppable momentum, and immediately shouted: "Soldiers, listen up, go all out and attack!"

The long horn roared, the battle drum was like a clap of thunder at the back, the tens of thousands of horses galloped straight towards the Luoyang City's Lake.

"Kill …" The cheers were deafening, the Armour s were clanging, and the sound of the iron hooves trampling on the ground made people's blood boil. At this moment, the soldiers of the rebel army were rushing forward fearlessly.

The Qin Soldier at the top of the city wall heard the countless of soldiers and horses galloping towards them, and she even lost her will to fight. She scared many guards and made them flee down the stone steps.

On the other hand, Yuan Ying and Lv Ze commanded their elite soldiers to retreat and retreat. They forced Qin Soldier to retreat through the city gates, and scattered in all directions, some of the elites setting down the suspension bridge, while Guan Ying and Fan Kuai led their troops and followed behind, rushing into the city.

Even Cheng Shuo herself was stabbed down by Fan Kuai's snake halberd, dying on the spot. Without the command of a general, the Qin Army did not have the heart to defend, and most of the enemies had abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Because of the leniency and discipline of the Dragon Army, a scene of chaos occurred after entering the city, but instead, there was not much fighting going on.

Lv Ze, Yuan Ying and their troops rushed into the main hall of the Luoyang City, tied up the injured Dong Yi, and subdued more than a thousand of the Qin Wei, while Guan Ying and Fan Kuai led their troops and rushed towards the other three doors.

Chen Ying sent people back to the camp to inform the talented daughter Wan'er and strategist Zhang Liang, please allow Yu Clan to enter the city to rest and take control of the city. At the moment, Pure feather Wan'er and Zhang Liang were in the tent waiting for news, and upon hearing it, the two were overjoyed.

Being in a good mood, Yu Wan'er smiled sweetly as she thought about how she would be able to meet Long Lang again soon after removing the Luoyang's barrier. "Pass down the order, the entire army will enter the Luoyang.
