Human corpses, horse corpses, and the layers upon layers of brave and death-defying Xiaoguo elite soldiers caused Meng Rang's assaulting heavy cavalry to suddenly lose speed.
Once these iron cavalry lose their speed, their advantage over infantry is reduced by 90%, and even sitting high on the saddle becomes their disadvantage.
Seeing that his cavalry could not penetrate the Sui army's formation, Meng Rang could only hope that the infantry following behind would cover him up and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Sui army that had been disrupted.
But what surprised him was why the infantry hadn't rushed up for so long.
He turned around and was shocked.
Fifty battles away in the rear, his own infantry were being massacred by the Xiaoguo cavalry.
These six hundred Xiaoguo cavalry suddenly drove in from the side and behind when the Wagang Army infantry was charging and running.
In this case, the infantry was defenseless against these armored cavalry.
The Xiaoguo cavalry galloped forward, swung their fine steel sabers fiercely, split open bodies and cut off heads one after another.
The Wagang infantry were like dominoes being pushed, falling apart as soon as they rushed.
Meng Rang's heart sank.
He realized that he had been defeated, and defeated miserably.
It was very likely that his entire army would be annihilated.
At this time, he felt that his body was sinking, and a big hand was grabbing his right arm and dragging him under the horse.
The person holding him was Shen Guang.
Meng Rang hurriedly moved his arms to break away from the opponent's grasp, but the opponent seemed to be extremely strong.
His own arm seemed to be caught in a trap and he could not break free at all.
When Meng Rang landed, he saw a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and blood covered one of his eyes.
Then he felt a void all over his body, and then he was floating in the air again.
The battlefield scene in front of him was shaking randomly.
I only heard a voice shouting: "The enemy's leader is here."
At the end, his eyes darkened and he knew nothing.
Shen Guang was holding Meng Rang's head and still roaring loudly: "I won't kill anyone who surrenders."
Those Wagang Army cavalry who were still fighting scattered their horses and fled.
But soon they encountered the four hundred scouts who were rushing back from the front, and killed many of them.
The Wagang infantry who were being slaughtered by the Xiaoguo cavalry could not escape.
The vast majority were killed or ambushed, and only a few were able to escape the battlefield.
Shen Guang chased for a while and then gathered his troops.
On a dirt road, several Wagang defeated soldiers galloped on their horses, raising dust along the way.
Suddenly, banners covered the sky in front of them, and people gathered in front of them.
A large group of soldiers and horses blocked their way.
These defeated soldiers saw the opponent's flag clearly and rushed forward.
They jumped off their horses and respectfully reported their encounter to the leading general.
This unit is the main force of a nearby Wagang Army camp, led by Luo Shixin.
After hearing the information reported by Meng Rang's department, he came with 30,000 troops to support.
After hearing the reports of these defeated soldiers, Luo Shixin determined that the main force of the Sui army was nearby.
He immediately sent out hundreds of cavalry scouts to conduct reconnaissance.
Under the leadership of the defeated troops, he met Shen Guang's forward, and at the same time, he collected the escaped cavalry of Meng Rang's troops.
The actions of Luo Shixin's troops were naturally completely exposed to the eyes of the reconnaissance cavalry scouts sent by Shen Guang.
Before Luo Shixin could get closer, they stayed far away.
But he didn't go far, he just kept his distance from Luo Shixin.
Luo Shixin's reconnaissance cavalry naturally also discovered Shen Guang's department, but Luo Shixin was more concerned about the main force of the Sui army behind Shen Guang, so when he saw the other party chasing him, he did not pursue Shen Guang's department with all his strength.
In fact, a team of tens of thousands of people chased two to three thousand people.
It's impossible to catch up.
In the evening, both sides set up temporary camps.

Not long after it got dark, tens of thousands of the main force of the Sui army arrived.
They set up several camps next to Shen Guang overnight, dug deep trenches and built high fortifications.
The two sides started a standoff west of Luokou.
Seeing that Luo Shixin had already targeted the main force of the Sui army, he was not in a hurry.
According to Li Mi's strategy, he just sent a message to other Wagang army camps, hoping to wait for several armies to gather and besiege the main force of the Sui army.
The Yellow River, which is yellow and carries silt, is rolling eastward.
On the river bank is walking a two-mile-long army carrying the flag of the Wagang Army.
This is a Wagang army that took the initiative to harass the rear of the Sui army and near the eastern capital.
Led by Shan Xiongxin.
On the south side of the marching army, a dock has been reduced to ruins.
But the owner of this Wubao had already sent a quick horse to inform the nearest city county government in advance.
Early the next morning, Yang Guang was woken up by a young eunuch while he was still sleeping.
This news did not go as Yang Guang expected.
The terrain in Heluo area is open.
There is no choke point, and the base camps of both sides are so close.
For both sides, it is a place where "the enemy can go, and I can go too."
Defense can only rely on mobile defense methods such as reconnaissance and cavalry scouts to detect the opponent's movements in advance and then send troops to intercept them.
Yang Guang put his hands behind his back and looked at the huge map hanging on the wall.
But he was thinking about the situation of the battle over and over in his mind.
Today, the huge city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, has gathered 170,000 Sui troops recruited from Henan, Ruzhou, Qiaojun, Jiyin and other nearby counties.
Now, in addition to the 50,000 elite troops sent to attack Luokou, there are also 120,000 troops in the city and surrounding satellite cities.
These 120,000 people seemed to be a huge number, but what they had to guard was a huge city covering an area of more than 100,000 acres.
This does not include surrounding satellite cities like Jinyong City.
It was impossible to assemble them all to intercept an army of twenty or thirty thousand men.
What's more, these Wagang troops are probably not just this one, but there are several.
Therefore, he could only mobilize elites to carry out mobile operations.
Yang Guang, who was thinking, didn't notice that many people had entered the hall one after another.
These are the ministers and generals he summoned to discuss military matters.
He only reacted when the Changqiu Supervisor next to him reminded him: "Your Majesty, everyone is here."
Yang Guang ordered the palace officials to lay out the map on the table and began to analyze the military situation with the generals.
"Your Majesty, according to the reported military information, the Wagang Army has as many as 400,000 troops gathered along the line from Xingyang to Luokou, but our total strength is only 170,000.
This disparity in strength is too great.
Now Li Mi is using his strength again Advantages are everywhere, except for frontal and In addition to the confrontation between our Eastern Expedition troops, we sent several large armies to attack our rear, and our remaining 120,000 people can barely survive in the eastern capital.
Therefore, I think it is appropriate to send troops to the Jiangdu Governor's Office to support the Heluo battlefield.
"Wang Shichong broke the silence first.
Yang Guang said flatly: "No.
The southern battlefield has now reached a critical moment.
Xia Yue from Jiangdu, Xiao Xian from Jingzhou, Shen Faxing from Jiangdong, and Wang Hua from Lingnan have formed an encirclement against Lin Shihong.
Now the army has gathered on the outside of the river, waiting for the last moment.
One battle.
So now I can’t divert Xia Yue’s troops and let him fail.”
There was sudden silence in the hall.
After a few seconds of silence, Yang Guang broke the silence and said: "Although we have a small number of troops, we have a lot of elite soldiers.
We can gather these elite soldiers for mobile operations.
Although the territory we want to guard is large, it is different in severity.

It doesn’t matter if part of Luoyang falls
