Chapter 931: Luoyang is stained with blood again (Part 2)
"Report... General Qi, the rebel family soldiers, and some Luoyang mobs, divided into three groups and went to the east gate to kill."
"It is indeed the east gate."
Yang Jian, who was observing everything secretly, heard the news, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and he asked coldly: "Approximately how many people are there in the rebel family soldiers and mobs?"
"Preliminary statistics show that there are 30,000 people, and the number is still increasing gradually."
"What?"
Yang Jian frowned. Ten thousand more people was not a small number, so he asked in surprise: "How come so many people are participating?"
Dugu Jialuo, who was standing beside him, sneered: "The Luoyang family knows that it is far different in strength compared to our army, so it deliberately instigates the people's dissatisfaction with our army and uses the people as cannon fodder to gain opportunities for them! Recently, all the people in Luoyang City have
It is a public opinion that is unfavorable to our army. I think this is also the layout of the Luoyang Family!"
"Hey, why are these people so ignorant? They used to praise Dong Gong's achievements when dividing the land, but now they are risking their lives to cause trouble because of a little provocation..."
Yang Jian looked complicated and disappointed. After all, as a Sizhou pastor, he had worked hard to win over the people of Sizhou, and he thought the effect was pretty good.
Yang Jian originally thought that even if the people of Luoyang would not be a help, they would never hold him back. However, he did not expect that the fortress he thought was strong would be so easily dismantled by the aristocratic family.
Seeing this, Dugu Jialuo immediately comforted him and said: "Husband, after all, the people who caused trouble are only a minority, and most of them are criminals and thieves. The vast majority of the people have not been bewitched by the aristocratic family. This is enough to prove your governance of Luoyang, husband."
, and it will be recognized by the people, so there is no need to blame yourself for this."
Yang Jian smiled indifferently and said: "Madam, you underestimate your husband. How can such a trivial matter affect your husband? The ability to fight is only for our soldiers, but the family has involved the common people. No matter what, I will hurt my husband today."
I will never let them go."
After saying this, a cold look flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and he said coldly: "Send an order to set up an ambush army at the east gate. Once the rebels enter the ambush circle, they will immediately start sniping to block the enemy. We must not let the rebels reach the east gate.
In addition, we sent an order to ambush the troops on the three routes of southwest, north and south, and immediately encircle the east gate. This group of rebels was going to be wiped out in one fell swoop."
"promise."
In Yang Jian's view, the rebels in the city are just a mob, so the main focus is on defending against the coalition forces. The number of troops used to counter the rebellion is only 40,000, but they are divided into four to set up ambushes on all sides and the east gate.
In fact, only ten thousand.
Although they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, they are a regular army of 10,000 Liang troops, and there is no pressure at all to deal with a ragtag group of 30,000 people.
More than 20,000 family soldiers joined forces with more than 10,000 Luoyang mobs. Just as they were about to cross the East Street, large groups of archers suddenly appeared on the rooftops on both sides.
Shi Wansui also appeared on the roof at this time, looking at the long queue of torches below, his eyes were full of coldness and he shouted coldly: "Fire the arrow."
Following Shi Wansui's order, arrows rained down on the streets of Luoyang, and people were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
"Ah, I got an arrow in my leg."
"No, I don't want to die!"
The torch that was originally used to illuminate the darkness now became a target for the rebels to expose themselves, and for a while screams resounded through the streets of Luoyang.
Although the team composed of soldiers from the aristocratic family and the mob was undoubtedly a mob, there were still some capable people among the generals of the aristocratic family. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately ordered everyone to extinguish the torches and directed everyone to kill the Liang army in the light of the fire.
go.
The family originally wanted to catch Liang Jun off guard, but now the action was not only exposed, but Liang Jun also set up an ambush in advance.
At this time, the only way for the family to survive is to break through the siege and open the east gate to let the coalition troops in, otherwise they will only end up dead.
Understanding this, the heads of each family issued orders to their generals to open the east gate at all costs, and asked their servants to continue to confuse the surrounding people. Although the effect was not very good, it also added numbers to the team.
Thousands of chaotic people.
Although the rebels have little fighting power, they can still be strong
A strong momentum, and when the momentum reaches a certain level, can also crush an army, but elites like the Liang Army are obviously not included in this category.
"General, there are too many traitors from the family and they cannot be defeated in a short time. However, more and more people are being lured here. If this continues, our army may be overwhelmed by the people."
Yang Jian clenched his fists and took a deep breath, with a look of struggle in his eyes, and then asked: "How long will it take for the reinforcements from the south, west, and north to arrive?"
"At least half an hour."
Yang Jian did not want to massacre civilians, but relying on an army of 10,000 to fight against tens of thousands of rebels could not cover everything, so he could only make a ruthless order: "Anyone who participates in the rebellion will be killed without mercy."
Yang Jian knew that with this order, he would completely lose the hearts of the people of Luoyang, but in order to guard the east gate and delay the completion of the siege, he had no other choice.
The Liang army originally did not kill the common people, but only targeted the soldiers of the famous families, but they could not tell the difference between the dark and the blind, so naturally they were restrained in their actions.
But after receiving Yang Jian's order, Liang Jun, who had suppressed his anger, naturally didn't care so much.
Regardless of whether you are a noble family or a commoner, if you dare to participate in rebellion, you will be killed.
If the soldiers of the aristocratic family still have a certain fighting strength, then the rebels are just like the fifth scum of the war. Against the regular army, it is a one-sided massacre. Even if ten rebels are killed, they may not be able to kill a single Liang army soldier.
Most of the people who participated in the rebellion were ignorant and held the mentality that the law should not be blamed. They thought that the Liang army did not dare to kill civilians, but they did not expect that the Liang army not only did it, but also did it so cruelly.
Relatives, friends and neighbors participated in the butchering, which also angered more people to participate in the riots, but it had no effect at all, and what they got in exchange was an even more brutal massacre.
The shrill screams resounded throughout the entire east city of Luoyang, with broken limbs and arms everywhere, as well as dead bodies.
Yang Jian couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation in front of him anymore, and immediately asked Li Xiuning beside him: "Have the Jin Yiwei people shown up?"
Li Xiuning's eyes narrowed and she said in a deep voice: "It hasn't appeared yet, but our people are watching. Once the Jin Yiwei appears, we will capture it immediately."
"Um."
Yang Jian nodded with satisfaction.

Outside Luoyang City, the coalition camp.
"Report, there are fires in Luoyang City again, it is suspected that there is civil strife."
This news soon spread to the ears of the major princes, and Qin Hao also took advantage of this to hold a meeting of the princes overnight.
Cao Cao stood up with excitement on his face and said: "Alliance leader, the fire in Luoyang City must be a riot among the people of the aristocratic families in the city. This is the best time to capture Luoyang."
