"General, An Qingxu has sent someone to welcome us into the city!" A school captain galloped up to Pang Zhong and reported the situation loudly.

"Bring the people in the future!" Pang Zhong, who stopped his mount, gave the order calmly.

The envoy sent by An Qingxu to greet the Tang army was immediately brought to Pang Zhong.

"Report to the general, Your Majesty is in the city... An Lushan's troops are attacking the Dexian Gate guarded by His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Prince's men and horses can no longer hold on. General, please reinforce as soon as possible," the envoy requested breathlessly.

He said: "General, let me take you into the city with this lowly post. If you wait any longer, the city gate may be occupied by An Lushan's troops. General, the three city gates in the north of Luoyang have been opened. General, please enter the city as soon as possible."

Hearing what the other party said, and hearing the loud shouts of killing coming from the direction of the city, Pang Zhong believed what the sergeant dressed like a school captain said, and immediately ordered: "Send orders to all ministries to enter the city immediately!"

As Pang Zhong spoke, he immediately drew his sword and ordered to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, prepare to fight. This is the final battle to put down the rebellion. If you don't make any military merits in this battle, don't think about making military merits again in the future.

,kill!"

Following Pang Zhong's order, the marching soldiers also drew their sabers, shouted to kill, and accelerated their marching speed.

The long queue of torches soon arrived at the gate of Luoyang City.

According to Yang Xi's arrangement, the troops led by Pang Zhong rushed directly to Dexian Gate. Wang Sili's troops later rushed to several other city gates to control the access to the city as soon as possible to facilitate the arrival of subsequent troops.

The city gate of Dexian Gate was wide open. Pang Zhong commanded his troops and rushed in quickly. The rebels guarding the city did not stop them.

Pang Zhong ordered a group of troops to rush to the top of the city, preparing to take over the gate tower, and then ordered the sergeant to pass the order to An Qingxu: "Order An Qingxu. Open the gate of Wengcheng. I will lead my brothers to kill him!"

Thousands of sergeants quickly rushed to the city gate tower and reported Pang Zhong's order. Soon someone conveyed An Qingxu's order. A group of sergeants who received the order hurried over and opened the strong gate of Wengcheng.

The Wengcheng gate opened. Amid the astonishment of countless rebels preparing to attack Dexianmen, the Tang army, led by Pang Zhong with swords raised, quickly rushed over.

"Brothers, kill..." Pang Zhong waved his sword and raised his arms and roared. "Defeat the rebels in front, Luoyang City will be ours, kill!"

Following Pang Zhong's stern orders, the rolling iron cavalry quickly passed through the creaking open Wengcheng gate and rushed into the city.

The rebels Tian Chengsi who was preparing to attack Dexian Gate did not expect that the Tang army had already invaded Luoyang City and came directly from the city gate. They were caught off guard. The sergeants who were about to board the city were suddenly rushed to the ground.

Eight falls.

However, there were only a few thousand Tang troops following Pang Zhong. Tian Chengsi led 20,000 troops. In order to prevent the troops on the city from being killed, his troops were arranged in echelons. Those who were about to climb the city were rushed by Pang Zhong's troops.

Everything was in disarray. However, the nearly ten thousand people led by Tian Chengsi behind them still maintained their fighting formation. Pang Zhong's troops rushed directly through the quickly defeated rebels and ran headfirst into the horses of the people led by Tian Chengsi.

"The prince colluded with the Tang army and plotted evil. Kill him!" Tian Chengsi, whose eyes were red with anger, also drew his sword and ordered the soldiers around him to kill him.

Who understands. Now is the critical moment of life and death. If the Tang army succeeds in attacking and the troops are defeated, then Luoyang City will be captured by the Tang army immediately, and the situation will be over. Only by resisting desperately and driving out the Tang army that has entered the city can we

There may be a slight turning point.

With Tian Chengsi taking the lead, nearly ten thousand people around him also formed an array and attacked Pang Zhong's tribe.

Tens of thousands of horses and horses were fighting fiercely inside the Dexian Gate. The field was not open enough, and the two sides could not form a formation, so the killing was inextricably linked. However, at this time, the defenders on the top of the city continued to shoot down arrows.

The charge by Pang Zhong's troops was also very fierce, and the follow-up troops continued to flow into the city, and the fighting spirit of the rebels slowly collapsed.

Just as more and more Tang troops rushed in from the direction of the city gate, some generals finally couldn't stand the momentum and turned around and ran away. In this case, running away is like a plague. The most infective ones are those who have already been attacked by Pang Zhong's troops.

The rebels of Baluo began to be defeated on a large scale. What happened to Ren Tian Chengsi?

The shouts could not be resisted, and eventually a large-scale escape occurred. Groups of rebel sergeants turned around and fled towards the city of Luoyang, and more and more people fled. "General, the Tang army's offensive is too fierce, we cannot withstand it."

Come on, retreat quickly!" Tian Chengsi's lieutenant shouted anxiously.

Tian Chengsi also knew that an undefendable place could not withstand the combined attack of the Tang Army and the Anqing Xu tribe, which had the superior strength. His troops had been defeated. If he held on for a while, as long as the Tang Army's follow-up reinforcements arrived, his troops would definitely be defeated.

Those who were annihilated could only give the order helplessly: "Retreat the entire army, retreat towards the imperial city!" He ignored them and led his own bodyguards to escape quickly.

The general also ran away, and the remaining troops had no fighting spirit. The rebels who were originally fighting with Pang Zhong's tribe also scrambled to escape.

Pang Zhong, who was eager to kill, saw that the rebels were completely defeated. He immediately waved his sword and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the rebels have been defeated. Follow me and kill!"

Following Pang Zhong's order, the sergeants around him also shouted loudly, shouting for kill. For a moment, deafening shouts of kill were heard everywhere in Luoyang City.

While Pang Zhong was fighting with Tian Chengsi's troops, Wang Sili's troops had also arrived at Luoyang City. He was attacking the other two city gates in the north, Hui'an Gate and Anxi Gate. When he arrived with his army

, the city gate has been opened wide, and the Tang army directly entered the city.

There were no rebels attacking the city gate from the direction of Anximen. Wang Sili's tens of thousands of Tang troops entered the city at an extremely fast speed.

The attack pattern of Wang Sili's and Pang Zhong's troops when they entered the city was also the same, that is, when the general himself led his troops directly into the city, he ordered an army of about 5,000 people to board the city gate tower and prepare to take over the city gate. However, other

Like Pang Zhong's tribe, they encountered the non-cooperation of the rebel Yin Ziqi's tribe. Yin Ziqi's troops did not allow the Tang army to take over the city gate, and conflicts broke out between the two.

When Pang Zhong rushed to the city gate tower and prepared to take over the city gate, Tian Qianzhen's men were also uncooperative. They were unwilling to hand over control of the city gate tower. There was friction between the two sides, but as more and more people came to

The Tang army rushed into the city, and An Qingxu was helpless in the end.

An order was issued underground for the Tang army to take over the guarding of Defu Gate. However, Yin Ziqi was still relatively tough and was unwilling to give up guarding the two city gates under his control, Hui'an Gate and Anxi Gate.

The confrontation eventually broke out.

But the conflict was only small-scale. As several grenades exploded in the rebel formation, the conflict stopped under the orders of Yin Ziqi and a lieutenant general who led the Tang army. Here, follow-up troops of the Tang army have been pouring in.

When Yin Ziqi came to the city and saw this situation, he had no choice but to agree to the Tang army's request and give up control of the two city gates.

More and more Tang troops entered the city and headed deeper into the city, preparing to capture other city gates.

---------------

Yang Xi also led his army to Defu Gate at dawn and climbed onto the city gate tower.

The fighting in Luoyang City is still going on here and is very fierce.

The Tang army has captured several city gates, but the imperial city and those south of Luoshui River, as well as several city gates north of Luoyang and east of Luoyang City, are still controlled by the rebels. The rebels have already conquered Tianjin by the Luoyang River.

The bridge and several other bridges were destroyed, and the Tang army rushed to Luoshui. They were unable to rush over and were trying to build a pontoon bridge. A large number of troops had already gathered near the imperial city, preparing to attack the imperial city.

After receiving the news that the Tang army was attacking the city, An Lushan had already reduced his defense line and retreated most of his troops to the imperial city, hoping to use the tall walls of the imperial city to confront the Tang army.

After daybreak, the battle will become more intense.

Yang Xi, who had received detailed reports from various ministries, had already put down most of his worries. He believed that it would only be a matter of time before nearly 100,000 people attacked Luoyang City and Luoyang was completely captured.

Firearms did not play a big role when attacking the city. Next, when attacking the imperial city, it is time for firearms to play a role.

When Yang Xi stepped onto the Defumen Gate Tower, An Qingxu, Tian Qianzhen, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang and others all came out to welcome him.

"The guilty minister An Qingxu has met Marshal Yang!" An Qingxu stepped forward to salute Yang Xi in embarrassment.

Solemn and noble, Tian Qianzhen also murmured and saluted Yang Xi, who was dressed in military uniform.

Yang Xi also returned the gift politely, and carefully looked at these important figures under An Lushan. When the other party was even more embarrassed, he said: "A few of them can abandon the dark side and surrender to the Tang Dynasty at the critical moment. I am the commander-in-chief."

I am very happy. The righteous actions of several people have saved Luoyang City from the ashes of the war. After the war subsides, I will definitely report your deeds to the court, and I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will be generously rewarded."

"Marshal Yang used his troops like a god, and the criminals admired him very much..." An Qingxu murmured, not knowing what to say. The main reason was that Yang Xi was too young, so he was embarrassed to say some words.

At this time, Tian Qianzhen stepped forward and saluted Yang Xi respectfully: "Marshal Yang, the last general was defeated by the marshal several times. I was not convinced at first, but after seeing the strength of the army you led today, I can't help it either."

No respect. The general should have surrendered to the marshal long ago, instead of putting up a fearless resistance."

What Tian Qianzhen said was a bit explicit, and he didn't know how to describe it so solemnly and noblely, which made it even more embarrassing.

But at this time Yang Xi spoke: "Everyone, you are welcome. Since you have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty again, we will be colleagues working together in the same palace from now on. I don't need to say many polite words. The war is not over yet. I want to hear what you have to say."

Tell me how to capture the imperial city!"

But before Yang Xi finished speaking, a loud shout came from outside.

A sergeant hurried in after getting permission and loudly reported that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops had already reached the east of Luoyang City and were preparing to attack the gates in the east of the city. Yang Xi immediately stood up and attacked An Qingxu, Tian Qianzhen and Yan Yan.

Zhuang, Gao Shang and others clasped their fists and saluted: "Everyone, please wait a moment until I go to meet the two military envoys Guo and Li, and then I will listen to your stories!"

"Marshal, I would like to go with you to greet Marshal Guo and General Li!" Tian Qianzhen stood up unexpectedly and requested.
