Xin'an City, after Li Hu'er's military order was frightened, the Xia army soldiers began to assemble to the school field in the midst of complaints, and Li Hu'er was waiting on the school platform at this time, although the Xia army soldiers were complaining, but the Xia army's assembly speed was not satisfied at all, because the Xia army's military regulations stipulate that those who are late to assemble the army will be killed.
Li Hu'er said loudly in the face of more than 100,000 soldiers: "Brothers, I know that you are tired, I am more tired than you, but now there is an excellent fighter plane in front of us, there is a Song army more than 30 miles east of Xin'an City, with a strength of 50,000 people, which is the elite of the Western Army of the Song Army, they are the soldiers and horses guarding Luoyang City, and the leader of the troops is the straw bale son of the master Dao Chongxi; If we can eat these 50,000 elites of the Western Army, Luoyang City will be unguarded, brothers, do you say this battle will be fought?"
"War, War, War" "Expedition" Li Hu'er gave an order, more than 100,000 Xia army elite cavalry poured out of the city, and there was no Xia army soldier in the entire Xin'an City, although the combat power of the Xia army soldiers under Li Hu'er had been greatly reduced, but in the face of the Song army's elite Western army troops were still like hungry wolves; At this time, Chongxi led 50,000 soldiers of the Western Army and was rushing all the way to the east; Originally, Chongxi encountered a large army of the Song army after passing through the city, and Chongxi, who had been frightened, immediately ordered to evacuate to the east after taking over the whole army.
This can be said to be a failure of Chongxi, in Li Huer's eyes, Chongxi is an idiot, the more in this kind of defeat, the more you can't retreat rashly, not to mention that the Song army is mainly foot soldiers, how can it be compared to the cavalry of the Shangxia army, and Chongxi retreated rashly and did not leave any soldiers and horses to block the Xia army, so the elite of the 50,000 Xia army fled eastward in a daze, and the Xia cavalry behind the Song army was getting closer and closer.
"Long, Long, Long" With the sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry of the Xia army had already caught up with the Song army, and after catching up with the Song army, Li Hu'er, who took the lead, suddenly pulled the reins: "Huh" "Why did the general stop," one of the generals asked Li Hu'er.
Li Hu'er said: "Lao Tzu chased for a long time and saw Song Jun's buttocks, can't you turn around and fight with the general?"
"General, isn't this a good thing, hurry up and chase after it, and if you don't chase Song Jun, you'll run away."
"It's not a fun fight."
Li Hu'er complained.
As soon as the two armies fought, the Song army could collapse, it was originally a pursuit war, and this time it became a massacre, 50,000 Song troops became the meat of more than 100,000 Xia army cavalry, although the combat effectiveness of the Xia army has declined, but it is also stronger than the Song army, and now the strength is two to one, and the terrain is very flat and very conducive to the Xia army cavalry to fight, the entire Song army has become a lamb under the Xia army's scimitar, and the 50,000 Song army elites have either become the Xia army's soul under the knife or become prisoners.
Li Hu'er left 10,000 troops to guard the prisoners, and he led the rest of the soldiers and horses to Luoyang to advance, at this time Luoyang only had thousands of old and weak guards, and was unable to resist the attack of the Xia army, and Chongxi did not dare to enter Luoyang at all, and walked around the city directly, just in case the Xia army did not rest and galloped for a day and a night in a row, and finally arrived at Luoyang City in the early morning of the next day, looking at the endless Xia army iron cavalry, the Luoyang defenders who defended the city directly opened the city and surrendered.
A cavalry in the east of Luoyang City is rapidly marching westward, leading this cavalry to the west is the Seed Master Road, when the Seed Master Road led the army to Luoyang City, it was found that the city was already fluttering the banner of the Great Xia Empire, and the entire Luoyang City fell intact into the hands of the Xia Army, this result was never expected by the Seed Master Dao, Luoyang was lost in the expectation of the Seed Master Road, but the Seed Master Road did not expect that the materials in Luoyang City also fell into the hands of the Xia Army.
"What should we do now, Dashuai?"
asked one of the generals to the planter.
Seed Master Dao looked at Luoyang City with resentment in his eyes and ordered: "The herald will shoot a round of rockets into the city, and then the army will withdraw immediately." ” "Obey the orders of the commander" The Seed Master Dao himself also understood that a round of rockets could not cause any losses to the Xia Army at all, and the Seed Master Dao did this just to disgust the Xia Army in the city; "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" thousands of rockets composed of a dense rain of arrows were shot into the city of Luoyang, the cavalry of the Song army turned around and ran, a fire burned in the east of Luoyang City, but it was quickly extinguished, the cavalry of the Xia army of course would not let the cavalry of the Song army leave, and under the leadership of the Xia general, five thousand elite cavalry went out of the city to pursue dozens of miles and returned to the city.
After Xia Jiangcheng, he came to the mansion of the former Song army marshal, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Hu'er and pleaded guilty to Li Hu'er: "The last general pleads guilty to the general." ” "Get up and speak."
Li Huer said.
"The last general led the army out of the city to pursue the Song army, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by the Song army and lost nearly a thousand soldiers, please punish the general."
Xia will continue to kneel on the ground and ask Li Hu'er for his life.
Li Hu'er said with a heavy face: "Go and get thirty military sticks yourself, who led the Song army that ambushed you, and under what banner." ” "General Yu, the Song army is waving the seed flag."
General Xia said to Li Hu'er.
"It's a kind of flag again, it seems that this time it's not a river, is it his old son who planted the teacher's way."
Li Hu'er muttered; After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xia Jiang and said; "You go down first" "Yes, the last will retire" Xia Jun rested in Luoyang City for three days, and used these three days to take stock of the baggage hoarded by the Song Army in Luoyang City, including 500,000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver in the city, more than 3 million stones of grain and grass stored, more than 200,000 sets of weapons and armor, and more than 3,000 crossbows, more than 3,000 catapults, more than 20,000 thunderbolts, and 50,000 catties of gunpowder; The rest also have a large amount of baggage such as bedding, medicinal herbs, shoes, salt, tea, etc.; These burdens are enough for the more than 100,000 Xia troops for a year.
In the mansion of the marshal of Luoyang City.
A messenger came here, and the person who came represented Li Liangzuo, and Li Hu'er was respectful to him; Qin Cha said to Li Hu'er: "Your Majesty is deeply gratified that the little prince has made this great contribution to His Majesty, and he specially ordered the official to pass the decree to the little prince, and the little prince is ready to accept the decree."
"Adult, please" Standing in front of the incense case, the messenger read aloud: "Li Hu'er takes the decree." ” "The Last Will Be Ordered" "Li Hu'er, the son of the king of Chu, was ordered by me to go out of Tongguan to fight Hangu and fall into Luoyang, and made great achievements for the Great Xia Empire; Today, Li Huer was specially added to Luoyang to stay behind, and General Huben admired this.
The herald Chin Cha read it aloud.
"The last general's decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live" "Little Prince, before coming, His Majesty ordered to pass a message to the little prince, now that the Song army is empty around Luoyang, the little prince should not rush eastward, he should first consolidate the rear and gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains."
The messenger said to Li Hu'er.
Li Hu'er said to the messenger: "The last general understands, please tell Your Majesty, and the last general will obey the Holy Ming."
In just over ten days, the Xia Army's Northern Route Army crossed the Yellow River and occupied the Xia Army in Mengzhou and Hedong, and the Southern Route Army went south to attack Yingyang and Dengfeng; The main force of the Eastern Route Army arrived under the Yanshi City under the leadership of Li Hu'er, and now the Seed Master Dao is garrisoning the Yanshi City, and the defenders in the city are less than 20,000
