Yuan Shao looked dazed and hesitant. Standing on the city gate tower, looking at the palace pavilions in the distance, Yuan Shao felt like a dream.

Seeing that Yuan Shao had not made up his mind for a long time, Xin Ping was very anxious, "Lord, please escape from the city quickly!" Xin Ping knelt down and begged,

Yuan Shao came back to his senses, looked at Xin Ping, and asked with a hope that he would be intent: "Is it possible for us to drive the Northern Army who invaded the city out of the city?" Yuan Shao really couldn't let go of the prosperous and gorgeous Luoyang City.

Xin Ping was shocked and quickly advised: "Lord, the Zhengbei Army has controlled many key points, and our army has only one trapped in the North City Gate. Moreover, the soldiers are already in a state of turmoil. It is impossible for us to drive the Zhengbei Army out of the city. If we do not escape from the Northern City Gate as soon as possible, it is a small matter to fall into the hands of the Zhengbei Army, but if the lord falls into the hands of the Zhengbei Army, everything will be over!"

Yuan Shao hesitated, feeling that what Xin Ping said was reasonable, but he was also unwilling to accept it. Xin Ping was anxious as if he was an ant on a hot pan.

Just as Yuan Shao was hesitating, the sound of war drums sounded on the North Street, knocking heavily on the hearts of all Yuan Shao's soldiers. Then the North Army, with distinctive armor and strict fronts, appeared in front of everyone, and slowly pressed down along the North Street along the North Street toward the North City Gate. Another North Army unit joined the attack on the North City Gate.

Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically. At this moment, he completely lost the confidence to regain control of Luoyang.

"Lord, go quickly! I will take people to guard the North City Gate!" Xin Ping said anxiously. Xin Ping planned to fight for the opportunity and time for Yuan Shao to escape.

Yuan Shao hesitated again. At this time, he was worried about whether there would be an ambush outside the north city gate.

The sound of the war drums of the Zhengbei Army on the North Street suddenly stopped, and all the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army were in a state of great joy. Yuan Shao turned his head and looked. At this time, the Zhengbei Army was about 150 steps away from the North City Gate.

The army formations of the North Zheng Army separated, and dozens of portable catapults were pushed to the front. Then a scene that scared all the soldiers of the First Shao Army. The catapults of the North Zheng Army placed the black ball that had caused great losses to Yuan Shao Army on the catapult. The frightened soldiers of the Yuan Shao army immediately became chaotic. The orange flames and the screams of their comrades were deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. Yuan Shao's face was pale and his whole body was trembling. Xin Ping, who was unknown, looked at everyone's reaction for no reason, and he was very puzzled. Although the catapults were very scared, there was no need to be scared like this! But after a while, I believe Xin Ping would not have such thoughts!

A "tough" sounded, and the black ball was thrown into the air and flew straight towards the north city gate. Yuan Shaojun, who was already a little confused, was in anger, and almost all the soldiers were running around.

When Xin Ping was about to scold her, a huge explosion seemed to be heard in her ears. Then Xin Ping felt that she was pushed down by a force and fell to the ground. Her head seemed to be stuffed with a sledgehammer, and it was buzzing. Fortunately, Xin Ping was just overturned by the explosion's air waves, and it was nothing serious.

Explosions sounded one after another, and orange flames rose from the North City Gate Tower. The screams were accompanied by the explosions. From time to time, people were lifted off the city wall by the explosion waves. The scene seemed very miserable.

"Zhongzhi, how are you doing?" Yuan Shao helped Xin Ping up and asked anxiously. At this time, the first wave of bomb attacks of the North Army had just ended. Xin Ping shook his dizzy head and sat up, looked around, and asked in horror: "What happened just now, why did I feel like I was struck by lightning!"

Seeing that Xin Ping was fine, Yuan Shao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, pulled Xin Ping and said anxiously: "Now is not the time to talk about these things! We have to escape from the city quickly!" Yu Luo, and then he held Xin Ping to escape down the city gate tower in a panic. At this moment, Yuan Shao has no old habits!

The BMW led by his subordinates rushed out of the city in panic, and thousands of cavalry followed Yuan Shao. At this time, the terrifying explosion sounded again and a gunpowder bomb fell right at the door hole. The orange flames rose up in the earth-shaking explosion, filling the entire city gate hole, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were terrified...

The terrifying wave of flames overturned and fell heavily to the ground. Everyone had obvious burning marks on their bodies, and they could not survive.

Now that Yuan Shao had escaped, Yuan Shao's army's fighting will collapse immediately.

Dian Wei discovered the changes in Yuan Shao's army and immediately ordered the catapult troops to stop attacking and ordered the infantry to assault.

The sword and shield soldiers roared and rushed towards the already chaotic North City Gate with a rigorous front at the speed of trotting. At the same time, the infantry of the North Army attacking along the city wall launched another attack. However, the cavalry that came along the way did not join the attack, because the cavalry was not suitable for fighting in this situation. Moreover, under the current situation, it was enough for the two infantry of the North Army to solve the Yuan Shao army at the North City Gate.

The sword and shield soldiers who launched an attack along North Street advanced to about fifty steps away from the North City Gate. Some Yuan Shaojun, who were ruthless due to fear, came to them like crazy.

The sword and shield soldier roared and rushed forward with a rapid speed. The shield was pushed to the front as the collision point.

‘Bang bang bang’, muffled sounds sounded one after another, and Yuan Shao’s soldiers were knocked to the ground one after another. Then the sword and shield soldiers waved their swords mercilessly to kill the fallen Yuan Shao’s soldiers. This repeated, almost one-sided massacre.

After fighting for a while, the courage born from fear disappeared without a trace and replaced by greater fear. Faced with the approaching Zhengbei Army, Yuan Shao's army continued to retreat. At the same time, Yuan Shao's army on the city gate tower had been cleared by the Zhengbei Army. Yuan Shao's army was fleeing down the city gate tower in panic, and the Zhengbei Army was constantly squeezing Yuan Shao's army along the city wall ladder.

Yuan Shao's army gathered together and squeezed into the small area under the city gate. There were probably tens of thousands of people. At this moment, all the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army were filled with fear, and they looked around in a daze with no face. The Northern Army surrounded the periphery, and the sword shone with a biting cold light in the warm sunlight, and the crossbowman on the city wall was ready to go.

Dian Wei came to Yuan Shao's army with an iron halberd, scanned the lambs to be slaughtered in front of him, and sang in a unique rough voice: "Those who put down their weapons will not kill!" The surrounding North Army immediately shouted, "Those who put down their weapons will not kill!"

The soldiers of Yuan Shao's army, who were already desperate, became even more chaotic. In the end, who put down his weapons first, all the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army put down their weapons and knelt down and begged for mercy.

Dian Wei ordered his subordinates to take the prisoners down, and then, as Chen Gong's prior instructions, ordered the army to close the four gates immediately and send out multiple patrols to stabilize the situation in the city and suppress possible riots.

At this point, the battle of Luoyang is over. In this dramatic offensive and defensive battle, Luoyang, which has 130,000 defenders, was actually captured by the 50,000 Northern Army in one day! The Northern Army lost less than 5,000 people in this battle, while Yuan Shao's army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, more than 70,000 were captured, and only a few thousand escaped! This battle is brilliant!

...

Chen Gong hurriedly entered Luoyang. When he found Dian Wei, Dian Wei was collecting prisoners under the command of the Prime Minister's Office. "But he captured Yuan Shao," Chen Gong asked anxiously. Chen Gong was very concerned about whether he had captured Yuan Shao, because if he caught Yuan Shao, then this battle of the Southern Expedition to Luoyang could be said to have been completely won.

However, Chen Gong did not receive good news again. Dian Wei cursed carelessly: "Yuan Shao was simply a rabbit! He escaped from the North City Gate while our army was blocked in the North City Gate!"

"General Dian Wei can send troops to pursue him," Chen Gong asked again.

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "The hands on my hands are too nervous! There are no extra hands to chase!"

Chen Gong nodded, Dian Wei's approach was not wrong. After thinking for a moment, he suggested: "You can send three thousand light cavalry to pursue you! I believe that there must be not many people around Yuan Shao!"

Dian Wei nodded, "Okay! But I have to wait a moment, the manpower cannot be transferred for the time being! All the cavalry went outside the North City Gate to escort the prisoners they had caught before!"

Chen Gong frowned slightly. Although he was anxious, he knew that this matter was urgent...

Don't come.

Tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's soldiers who were captured by the Northern Expedition Army had pulled their heads and entered the city from the North City Gate. Everyone was filled with frustration. Seeing the mottled blood on the north city wall, everyone felt a little glimmer of gratitude. No matter what, they were at least alive.

On the city wall, the crossbowmen of the Northern Army were ready to go, and there were soldiers of the Northern Army with swords unsheathed on both sides of the captive team. Outside the city gate, nearly ten thousand Northern Army light cavalry were on guard.

About half an hour later, all the prisoners were safely taken to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Dian Wei immediately sent three thousand light cavalry to pursue Yuan Shao according to Chen Gong's suggestion.

In the evening of that day, the Northern Expedition Army caught up with the thousands of Yuan Shao cavalry fleeing west when approaching Shengchi County. After a melee, a part of Yuan Shao's army was annihilated and most of them were captured. However, the "Yuan Shao" in golden armor among the prisoners was not Yuan Shao! After asking the prisoners, he learned that the real Yuan Shao had already left the brigade with hundreds of followers! Where was Yuan Shao's near at this moment?

...

From the crack of the door, I saw the black-clad soldiers who had appeared on the streets of Luoyang again. The people ran to the streets to cheer. Most of these people were ordinary civilians and merchants without noble status. They had suffered enough under Yuan Shao's rule in the past. They had long been hoping that the Northern Expedition Army that had controlled Luoyang that had defeated Yuan Shao and re-controlled Luoyang.

The people gathered around the streets and cheered, looking very excited.

However, not all civilians welcomed the Northern Army, and many of them were skeptical. Most of these civilians were the people who responded to Wang Yun's call.

"Brother, let's go out and have a look!" In a house next to the street, a young man in his twenties couldn't help but be eager to try it out when he heard the noisy cheers on the street.

A man about thirty years old next to him glared at the young man and shouted: "Master Situ said that the Northern Army is a rebellious army! How can our great men and people be rebellious!"

"You are in charge, what you said is wrong! The general is trying to conquer the barbarians outside and support the Emperor of Han inside! Why is it just a rebellion? I want me to say that Yuan Shao and Wang Yun are rebellious!" A woman in her thirties interjected, and it could be seen that she had a good impression of the Northern Army, but she disagreed with Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and others.

The man glared with his eyes and said angrily: "What do you know about going back!" The family was disappointed and did not dare to object. Although the man said it very resolutely, he also had questions in his heart.
