    ??

    Pei Renji and Meng Rang successfully conquered Luocang, which greatly aroused their ambitions.

    Originally, the mission of the two men was to occupy Huiluocang and defend it. However, seeing that the Sui army was unprepared and their combat power was not very good, they decided to take the opportunity to attack Luoyang City.  Even if it can't be defeated, it can severely damage the morale of the Sui army.  If they succeed by luck, the two of them will take the first place.

    Pei Renji is a master who "sees small profits and forgets his fate", while Meng Rang is also a bold master. The two hit it off and decided to attack Luoyang City.

    Pei Xingyan has some doubts. After all, Luoyang City has many soldiers and generals. Although it does not seem to have strong combat power, relying on the strong city, it is more than enough to resist their tens of thousands of troops.  Attacking Luoyang City at this time is really risky.

    Pei Renji boasted: "With my father here, who can be defeated in Luoyang City? Huangfu Wuyi is a child with a yellow mouth; Duan Da relies on the emperor's cronies and has always been incompetent; Liu Changgong is a pig, not worth mentioning. As for the  Yang Wei, Gao Bi and others are all mediocre people, not worth mentioning."

    Pei Renji, like making wine and discussing heroes, belittled the generals in Luoyang City.  It seems that only he can be considered a famous general.

    "The small court is blind if it doesn't use him."  His good birds choose trees to roost, and they feel confident.

    Pei Xingyan wanted to say something again, but Pei Renji said with some displeasure: "Luoyang City is in chaos, and they fear me like a tiger. If we don't take this opportunity to defeat the enemy and stabilize the position in Luoyang City, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy again."

    ??Shou Jing, as a general, must know how to adapt and adapt to the circumstances.  "

    Pei Xingyan saw that his father was a little angry and did not dare to say anything.

    Although Pei Renji's words were a bit derogatory and boastful, he was right about one thing, that is, the city of Luoyang was indeed in chaos at this time.

    For the same reason, the power in Luoyang City is dispersed, no one can make the decision, and they are in conflict with each other. Even 10% of the power cannot be exerted.  Although the deputy governor Yuan Wendu was ranked first, he was not even a minister. His prestige was really insufficient. He had not commanded the army and had little influence on the army.  The only Youwuwei general with a military rank, Huangfu Wuyi, was not a veteran general. He had a military rank and was still doing the work of a civil servant.

    Everyone has their own thoughts on how such a combination can stabilize the situation.

    After a dangerous situation occurred back in Luocang, everyone was panicked and didn't know how to deal with it.  By the time several auxiliary ministers sat together and discussed the countermeasures, they found that Luocang had already been captured by the rebels.

    After Pei Renji and Meng Rang decided to attack Luoyang City, they did not go directly to Luoyang City.  Although the two of them were gambling, there were many soldiers and horses in Luoyang City and the city was well-defended. They could still hold on if they couldn't defeat it. If they attacked the city without any siege equipment, they could only break their heads and bleed.

    Although Pei Renji has an average character, his abilities are indeed good.

    Pei Renji was often in Luoyang, and he knew very well that this city was built by Duke Wei. The city was high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It could not be captured by just 30,000 troops.

    But the magnificent city of Luoyang is not without its flaws.

    Luoyang City was built on both sides of the Luoshui River, with the Luoshui River running across it.  For various reasons, the Sui Dynasty did not fortify the Luoshui River, but built three pontoon bridges on it to connect the north and south banks.

    Luoyang Imperial City is located in the northwest corner of Luoyang City. It has several layers of city walls for defense and is self-contained.  From the imperial city to the south is Luoshui. This is the widest part of Luoshui, with a length of 130 steps.  Duke Wei built a bridge on it to connect the Imperial City and Tianjie, which was called the Tianjin Bridge.

    Historically, in the Tang Dynasty, the Luohe River in the Tianjin Bridge area was divided into three branches, with three bridges. The Tianjin Bridge was in the middle, with the Huangdao Bridge to the north and the Xingjin Bridge to the south.

    Attacking the city from all parts of Luoyang City has to pass through the inner squares and city gates everywhere. Only from the upper reaches of Luoshui River to the west can you directly reach the Tianjin Bridge and reach Duanmen.

    If this attack goes well, the Wei army can even directly enter the imperial city, and it is also possible to capture the Yue King in Luoyang City.

    Seeing that their gains were huge and regardless of the risks, the two decided to raid the imperial city.

    Pei Renji and Meng Rang left a small number of troops behind, leaving them to Zuo Sima Yang Defang to stay behind and return to Luocang, and then led their main force to the west.  He thought that the Sui army did not dare to take the initiative to attack, so he focused all his troops on raiding Luoyang and returned to Luocang City, leaving few people at all.

    Soon the Sui army discovered that the bandits were advancing westward, but no one dared to pursue them.  Pei Meng's troops successfully reached the west side of Luoyang City.

    There are nearly 30,000 people in Pei Meng's army. This crossing of the river requires hundreds of ships. Under normal circumstances, it will not go smoothly.  Fortunately, it is early February, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the solid ice has not yet melted, so everyone can walk on the ice.

      Everyone stepped on the solid ice, unexpectedly appeared in Luoyang City, and occupied Tianjin Bridge.

    Looking north from the Tianjin Bridge, Duanmen is right in front of you.

    At this time, what is needed is a quick word, to break the city before the Sui army reacts.  Pei Renji ordered his son Pei Xingyan to be the vanguard and lead his troops to attack Duanmen.

    Pei Xingyan also followed his father to the imperial city to meet the emperor. In the past, this place was inviolable in his heart.  But today, I want to lead my troops to attack here, which is really embarrassing.

    But Pei Xingyan is determined and will not act like a child for the sake of his family.

    Pei Renji's troops were originally the surrendered Sui army, so except for the flag, they were almost the same as the Sui army.  Everyone rushed straight to Duanmen, but the Duanmen defenders did not react.  Seeing a large group of troops on the city wall, they loudly scolded the other party's identity.

    Pei Xingyan did not get entangled with the opponent. He rode on the galloping horse, picked up the iron bow behind the horse, stretched the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the guard on the top of the city.  The guard at the head of the city was caught off guard and was hit in the forehead by an arrow. He fell to the ground and died.

    Pei Xingyan shouted loudly: "Yuan Wendu colluded with Wagang and betrayed the Sui Dynasty. I am General Pei Renji, the general of Hu Benlang in Hulao Pass. On the order of the King of Yue, I entered the imperial city to protect him. Those who are loyal to the Sui Dynasty must surrender quickly."

    Pei Xingyan¡¯s voice directly frightened the defenders on top of the city.

    Many people instantly understood that this was a mutiny, but the specific circumstances were unknown, and it was even harder to know who to support.  Many people were hesitant, and some even thought that what Pei Xingyan said was true. They chanted the slogan "Loyal to the Sui Dynasty" and even took the lead in responding.

    Pei Xingyan never thought that his voice would have such an effect.  But this situation is precisely the most beneficial to Pei Xingyan.

    So Pei Xingyan waved his long spear and led his people into Duanmen. Anyone who dared to stop him was immediately killed.

    Pei Xingyan appeared too suddenly, and the leader of Duanmen was shot dead by Pei Xingyan again. There was no one to give orders, and no one closed the Duanmen, which allowed Pei Xingyan to enter so smoothly.

    After entering Duanmen, Pei Xingyan ordered people to control the city gate and informed his father, and he led his elite troops to kill Ziwei City (Miyagi City).  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
