Chapter 167: The Fall of Luoyang (I)

Luoyang City was in chaos, with shouts of killing everywhere and fire everywhere. The originally neat and clean road was already messy, and the ground was stained with blood.

"kill!"

Whether it is civil officials or military generals, they all carry the power they can gather and shout and rush to the imperial city. At this time, either you die or I die. Apart from fighting to death, they have no other choice.

Everyone knew very well that if the emperor was gone and the great man was gone, they would be doomed. Without the great man, they could be the ministers of whom, the royal relatives of whom, and the third princes of whom!

Whether it is a prince or a minister, they fully realized at this moment that they had already been closely linked with the Han Dynasty! One day the emperor and one day the ministers! They had no choice!

The enemy is facing a great enemy, the country is in danger, and the crowd is excited!

Everyone abandoned the grievances of the past and gathered together. They only had one thought in their hearts to save the emperor!

There were panicked crowds everywhere in Luoyang City, and the Imperial Guards who fled everywhere and the city guards, they were all running around like a group of headless flies.

After seeing the princes and ministers running to the imperial city with their followers, these people also followed and joined them.

The team that rushed to the Imperial City was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and its momentum was getting higher and higher. With the leadership of these princes and ministers, these scattered soldiers and wandering warriors had condensed into a considerable combat power.

Inspired by these princes and ministers, this temporary army formed retreated with great force and soon appeared at the foot of the imperial city.

The ministers of the Han Dynasty were familiar with the open space in front of the imperial city. The carriages they went to court every day were placed here. Taiwei Yang Ci, Situ Yuan Wei, Taichang Liu Yan, Henan Yin He Jin, four powerful ministers with the highest official positions in the Han Dynasty were gathering on this open space for emergency consultations.

The towering imperial city is like a majestic giant beast, crawling in the darkness, staring at the entire capital.

The huge gilded gate was closed, and torches were clear on the top of the city, and there were Yellow Turban troops holding swords and guns. The palace courtyard was still fighting fiercely, and the shouts of killing were clearly heard outside the city.

Seeing all this, all the ministers under the city were in a slump and their faces were solemn.

The situation has far exceeded everyone's imagination, and the solid imperial city failed like this, which made them unable to accept it!

The life and death of the Emperor of Han was uncertain, which made them unacceptable! No one expected that such a drastic change would occur overnight.

The ministers who suffered heavy blows were silent and looked at the Taiwei Yang Ci, Situ Yuan Wei, Taichang Liu Yan, Henan Yin He Jin, hoping that they could make decisions as soon as possible.

Whether it is a war or a retreat, it depends on their decision! The longer the time is, the more dangerous their situation will be. When the Yellow Turban Army controls the situation in the city, they will become turtles in the jar, and it will be difficult to withdraw!

Yang Ci was the Grand Marshal of the dynasty and the leader of the three dukes. He was in charge of military affairs and had the most say. At this time, he didn't speak, and it was difficult for others to speak.

Looking at the towering imperial city in the dark, Yang Ci was in a heavy mood and said in a deep voice: "There is still a fight in the imperial city, which means that although the imperial city has been lost, the palace has not been broken yet, and the emperor's safety is not a problem. It is not a solution for us to waste here like this. I think everyone should take their own responsibility and act separately."

Yang Ci looked at everyone and saw that no one raised any objections, he continued: "The most important thing for us now is to rescue the emperor. As long as the emperor is in his place, it doesn't matter if the capital is lost! Where the emperor is in his place can be used to fighting, stay here with me, be responsible for siegeing the city and rescue the emperor!"

Although Yang Ci was in power, he was only a false title and had never fought any war. Although there were many military generals among the ministers, Huangfu Song was the one who had fought the war. Although he was defeated, he lost the city and lost his territory.

Everyone looked at Huangfu Song together, full of hope, hoping that he could turn the crazy waves and resolve the priests in the water and fire.

These people are playing with conspiracies and tricks, but they are really making things difficult for them to attack cities and plunder land. Besides, Huangfu Song is also a famous general and has practical experience. I think it's not that bad, so he is the best candidate.

"My nephew! Just take the order in the face of danger! The safety of the great man is all about you."

Yang Ci, Yuan Wei, Liu Yan, He Jin and others all bowed to Huangfu Song, and then knocked a huge hat on his head. In this way, the fate of saving the great man and the emperor fell into Huangfu Song's hands.

"I thank you for your unyielding lords, and I will never refuse to die!" Huangfu Song was not Huangfu Jian, the Han Dynasty was orthodox, and the emperor still had a high status in his mind, so after a little thought, he agreed.

Huangfu Song first thought of his nephew Huangfu Jian. Huangfu Jian, who was young, dared to face the 10,000 cavalry of the Xianbei people with three thousand iron cavalry. Although there were many dangers in front of him, there was not a chance. Maybe he could take this opportunity to make a comeback and show his glory again.

Seeing Huangfu Song agreeing, Yang Ci nodded slightly and said intermittently: "Mr. Situ, you lead the Yuan brothers to gather the scattered soldiers in the city, gather them together, and support them in the middle to prepare for emergencies!"

"Your Madam should also pay attention to safety. I will take Shaoer and Shuer away." Situ Yuan Wei saw that this opponent on weekdays left the most difficult task to him, so there was nothing to say! He greeted him and took Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu brothers and a group of retainers to leave.

"Mr. He led Cao Cao and others to see if the city gate was lost. No matter what, they must guard a city gate. If things go wrong, leave a way out for everyone!" Yang Ci looked at Henan Yin He Jin again and said in a deep voice.

Yang Ci is worthy of being the Grand Marshal. His overall view is still there, and at this time he still thinks of a way out!

He Jin also agreed and left with Cao Cao and others.

Just as Yang Ci ordered everyone, Huangfu Song also began to mobilize troops and remain the generals.

In a panic, everyone had no siege equipment except for some of their own weapons. Facing the imperial city with high and thick walls, if they only rely on the swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, they would have to die in the siege.

Fortunately, the most in the capital is weapons and equipment, and there are several arsenals.

Huangfu Song is worthy of being a talented general. He quickly calmed down in the cold night with a long spear in his hand. He divided the more than 10,000 riots under the city into two parts. One monitored the city to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from counterattacking. The other went to the arsenal, controlled the arsenal, and transported various siege equipment over.

Although the Yellow Turban Army achieved initial victory, it was far from reaching the level of controlling Luoyang.

Not long after, batches of siege equipment were transported over. Huangfu Song felt much more relaxed when he saw the equipment all over the ground. With these equipment, as long as he was given enough time, he was still confident of capturing the imperial city.

"Assiege!" Time is life. Huangfu Song did not dare to delay it. He rode on his horse, pointed his spear at the imperial city, and shouted suddenly.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Rockets roared at the top of the city.

"Puff, puff, puff..." The sound kept ringing, and the Yellow Turban Army on the top of the city caught off guard and fell down a group of people in an instant.

Screams kept ringing, and Huangfu Song, with anger, ordered people to launch a crazy counterattack against the Yellow Turban Army!
