Zhu Yaoshi and Song Huafu climbed up to the Bell and Drum Towers to have a drink. Zhu Yaoshi pointed to the big bell and said, "Old Song, do you know that when I invaded Jinling, it was on the Bell and Drum Towers that I witnessed the death of Emperor Ming!"

"Your Majesty's life is legendary and will be remembered in the history books in the future. Thinking about it this way, what's the regret? Haha, come on, I'm just a teacher. It's not bad that I can die as a minister in the end!"

"I gained the Central Plains by myself, but lost it by my own hands! Well, this ending is not bad! Come on, Old Song, I respect you!"

The monarch and his ministers were facing each other while drinking, waiting for the enemy troops to come in. However, several people ran from a distance and shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! King Qin's reinforcements have arrived!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Your Majesty! Where are you? This slave is back!"

Zhu Yaoshi and Song Huafu looked down and saw that Huai En had brought a few people back.

"Wynn! Why are you back again! Have you done what I asked you to do?"

"Your Majesty! My servant and Mr. Qiu have brought reinforcements! Your Majesty, please receive them!" Wynn continued to shout below.

Song Huafu whispered, "Could it be that he was the traitor seeking glory, luring His Majesty so that he could capture His Majesty and give it to the enemy as a greeting gift?"

Pharmacist Zhu was very calm, "No, Mr. Qiu is not that kind of person. You see, Mr. Qiu is still there on crutches! Besides, he doesn't need to go to such trouble if he wants the seller to seek glory. He can just bring someone up to catch him!"

The monarch and his ministers descended from the Bell and Drum Tower, and several people around Huaien quickly kowtowed and shouted long live under Huaien's guidance.

People moving things not far away also stopped. Those who knelt down and shouted long live were wearing armor and helmets.

The emperor still has soldiers! The eunuchs, maids, and servants who were carrying supplies in the palace all stopped immediately, and a few bold ones hurriedly ran along the wall.

"The last general Yang Hua has met the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou Fan, pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Excuse me, no, I am not a general. Mengzhou civilian Yang Chunfu pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yaoshi smiled and stretched out his hand to signal: "You are loyal, please rise quickly. At this time of national crisis, you are showing your loyalty and talents! Well, Yang Hua, you immediately take over the defense of the capital and lead the troops as the right general.

Ximen resists the enemy! Zhou Fan, I appoint you as Jing Zhaoyin, leading my troops and the people to put out the fire in the capital. Yang Chunfu, I appoint you as the governor of Mengzhou, leading my troops to assist General Yang in defending the capital!"

The three people kneeling on the ground didn't react for a moment. Wynn quickly shouted, "Thank you quickly! Thank you Lord for your kindness!"

The three of them came back to their senses and thanked them. Yang Chunfu kowtowed and asked, "Your Majesty, common people and ordinary brothers want to seek status!"

Huaien hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the more than a thousand people brought by Yang Chunfu are all refugees. He wants to become a soldier of the Wei Dynasty and have a status!"

Pharmacist Zhu laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, here you go! Yang Chunfu, I hope you are my lucky general, so I will give you the name of Fuziying!"

Qiu Xingzhi urged from behind, "You three, hurry up and take your troops to meet the enemy and defend the city. Marshal Wang's army is coming soon!"

The three people quickly stood up and led their troops to meet the enemy. At this time, the fire had spread to the roots of Lihuang City and was about to reach the Suzaku Gate.

Yang Hua, Zhou Fan, Yang Chunfu and others led the people out of Zhuque Gate without hesitation. Those who put out fires put out fires, those who rescued people rescued people. The remaining capable people went to the roof and prepared for defense.

After the three men led the troops and left, Zhu Yaoshi asked Huaien and Qiu Xingzhi what was going on. Huaien knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"I recognized dozens of godsons outside the palace. These three are the most invisible. I didn't expect them to lead troops to the king!"

"General Manager, it's incredible. I don't have a son yet, but you, a eunuch, already have dozens of sons. Well, not bad, you have made a contribution this time! In addition to these three

What about the rest of them?"

Wynn replied with a tearful tone, "Your Majesty, this servant is blind. Those people usually flatter and give gifts, but in times of crisis, no one has disappeared!"

"Then why did these three people come to rescue you with their troops? I'm very curious now!"

"I didn't know it at first, but after I met them, I suddenly realized it. Not long after I moved the capital, I once went out to work for the emperor. I encountered these three people being bullied by a black shop. I saved them and they kowtowed to recognize me.

As godfather, the slave took them in, gave them some money and goods, and then let them

They left. After that, the three of them came to see me every year carrying a pot of wine, a piece of meat, and a piece of cloth. I didn't care. All I sent them were hundreds of coins! The slave didn't take it seriously, but these three

But you thought this was a great kindness, and this time they learned that the capital was in trouble, so they spent all their wealth and brought people to help the king!"

Pharmacist Zhu sighed, "These three people repay their kindness! It's rare! By the way, Mr. Qiu, I still can't bear it when you lied to them that Marshal Wang's army is coming. I think we should break out tonight!"

Qiu Xingzhi coughed twice, "Ahem, our army only has a few thousand infantrymen. Most of them are men who usually farm. They can still rely on roofs and walls to defend themselves in the city. If they leave the city, a few

Time is running out! The enemy’s cavalry is not a vegetarian! Besides, Marshal Wang’s reinforcements will arrive in the next few days!”

"Then the mantis is chasing the cicada, and the oriole is behind! Well, I will stay here to be the cicada that lures the enemy!"

Song Huafu remained silent. After hearing this, he knew that there was still hope to defend Luoyang, and he felt much more at ease.

Wang Tiezhu's army was indeed not far from Luoyang City. The spies sent out reported that half of Luoyang had been lost. Wang Tiezhu's first reaction was to mobilize the entire army to enter the city for rescue.

Tang Sixin stopped Wang Tiezhu again and said, "Marshal Wang, only half of the city has been captured, which means there are still troops resisting in the city. Our entry into the city at this time is just a tactic to add fuel to the fire, which is not good for our army! It is better to go straight to the enemy's rear and cut off the enemy's army."

Liangdao, only in this way can we truly rescue the siege!"

Marshal Wang is still very worried about the safety of Luoyang. "It's not that I don't know what the military advisor said, but if we don't rescue him first, we have to go around Luoyang. If there is any accident, how can we go to see the emperor!"

"That's right, we need to rescue you too! Marshal Wang took away all the cavalry, and I led the infantry to the west of the city with great fanfare, so as to buy you time. The most important thing is to let the people in the city know that outside

Reinforcements are coming!”

Wang Tiezhu looked at the thin old man in front of him and hesitated: "Military advisor, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops on the west side of the city. Aren't you going to die with more than 3,000 infantry? Don't take this risk. You should enter the city and the city through the east gate."

Let’s defend the city together with the defenders!”

"Without a bait to keep them off guard, your surprise attack will be difficult to achieve! The enemy is not a fool either! Don't worry, I won't fight them head-on! Go quickly, the sooner the better!"

Wang Tiezhu mounted his horse and led more than a thousand cavalry around Luoyang City to the west. Tang Sixin gathered the remaining soldiers and told them clearly that they might all die in the west of the city in this battle.

Many people hesitated, "My mother and son are still in the city, can't we just take a look?"

"Commander, let's go home and take a look before we leave the city to retreat from the enemy. You must let us see our families before we die!"

"Military advisor, let's go back to the city and take a look!"

What Tang Sixin was waiting for was their words, and he hesitated for a while deliberately: "It's not that I'm cruel, but I don't want to make you sad. If you don't see it, there is still hope. If you see it, it may not be what you want! If you want to go to the city, just

Enter the city from the east gate and go up the city wall to see what Luoyang City looks like now!"

More than 3,000 soldiers entered the city from the east gate of Luoyang. The few dozen remaining defenders at the east gate were all very happy. When they saw the elite Wei troops coming in, they all rushed to hug them.

"Brothers, I've been waiting for you!"

"Why are you here? Yesterday, the thieves from Tuyuhun tried to break in through the east gate and tried to cooperate inside and outside, but we repelled them!"

"Er Zhuzi, all your family members were killed by thieves!"

"Fourth brother, your house was burned down, and my sister-in-law and the others don't know where they are!"

The Wei army who had just entered the city suddenly lost the joy of returning home. Some of the other people climbed onto the city wall and saw that the place where their homes were was already a pile of rubble.

Some people asked and found out that their family members had escaped and breathed a sigh of relief. Others reported that their houses were burned down and their families were missing.

At first, I still thought about it, and even thought about escaping with my family, but now I only have one thought left.

revenge!

"Let's go to Ximen to seek revenge on those beasts!"

"Kill my whole family, a blood feud. I swear I won't be a human unless I avenge this!"

Suddenly the crowd was furious and all rushed in front of Tang Sixin.

Tang Sixin knew that this was the time when morale was at its highest, so if he didn't take advantage of this moment to kill Ximen, how would he wait?

"Brothers, take revenge, you must take revenge! Which brothers who are not afraid of death dare to fight all the way from the city wall to the west gate? This journey is crucial!"

"What are you talking about, military advisor? Are there any people in our Tiger Army who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"The military advisor looks down on us so much? We all fought through the city wall!"

Tang Sixin stretched out his hands to silence everyone, and several commanders also spoke: "The military advisor must have a good idea, let's all listen to what the military advisor has to say!"

Tang Sixin looked solemn, "This time, we have to face an enemy force that is ten times more numerous than us, and many of them are cavalry! From this way on the city wall, we must take down the west gate tower in one go, and control the city gate from a high position.

Beat the drums of the West Gate! Put up our flag! This way the enemy will concentrate all their efforts to seize the West Gate. The brothers outside the city attack the enemy in three directions, and the target is also the West Gate. They must stick to the enemy's infantry.

Come together and let them be trapped at the city gate!"

Lieutenant General Zhang Zhao took off his helmet and threw it on the ground. "Brothers, I understand what the military advisor said. We must use our flesh and blood to separate the enemy forces inside and outside the city, and close the city gates again to defend the capital!"

The soldiers raised their fists to the sky and said, "I will defend the capital to the death! Avenge my relatives!"

Tang Sixin originally wanted to take command outside the city, but Zhang Zhao asked him to stay at the east gate. "It is the military advisor's business to plan strategies, and it is our business to go into battle to kill the enemy! If Marshal Wang comes back and does not see the military advisor, how can we explain to him?"

Tang Sixin could not defeat the five powerful and three rough soldiers, so he had to stay.

On this day, Ximen Wei's army descended from the sky like a magic weapon, and Tuyuhun's army refused to spit out the meat in their mouths.

The city gate was filled with corpses from both sides, and there was only one Wei army flag dyed maroon on the wall.

Five spears were inserted into Zhang Zhao's back. The five spears supported his body. His right hand held the flag of the Wei army, and the long knife in his left hand was stuck on the ground.

The three troops of Yang Hua, Zhou Fan and Yang Chunfu were about to be broken through by the Ghost Sheep Cavalry, but the Wei army who appeared at the west gate saved them.

When the three men led the men and horses to the city wall, only Zhang Zhao was left standing on the city wall with his eyes wide open.

The three of them led the crowd to kneel down, but they couldn't break Zhang Zhao's hand when they went to get the military flag. In the end, they had no choice but to carry the flag down with them.
