The one responsible for attacking the west gate was Yuan Shao, and the coalition army also had 40,000 troops at the west gate. However, facing the Liang army who tried their best to break through, Yuan Shao chose to preserve his strength.
"Report, my lord, Yang Jian left the city and broke through."
"The Liang army is powerful and cannot be defeated. If we resist desperately, both sides will suffer losses."
After hearing this, a strange look flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to withdraw the front army, take the initiative to let Yang Jian's army pass, and then the army will follow and pursue.
In addition, send someone to contact the alliance leader quickly and request for additional troops to pursue."
"promise."
With the troops Yuan Shao had, it was impossible to completely block the Liang army, but it was still possible to block the troops waiting for reinforcements for a while. However, he directly ordered the entire army to retreat, which was obviously intended to let Yang Jian leave to preserve his strength.
If it had been anyone else, Qin Hao could directly hold him responsible, but Yuan Shao was a member of the Yuan family after all, and his reasons were indeed very good.
There is really no fault in following and pursuing, after all, the casualties are much smaller than intercepting.
But after the Liang army trapped Long Ruhai, it was no longer Yuan Shaoneng's decision. It should be noted that the relationship between the hunter and the prey will change.
Luoyang North Gate.
Qin Hao picked up the sword that Li Yuanba left on the ground after he fell into the city. After pulling it out, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
It is indeed Longquan, no, it should be Qixing Longyuan.
After all, apart from the top ten famous swords in the world, there are only swords like Tianwen that can compete with Qingping Sword for so long without falling behind at all. They are second only to the top ten famous swords.
Qin Hao never expected that he did not get Long Yuan from Li Shimin, but actually got it from Li Yuanba.
To obtain the 'Holy King', you must collect the five-piece set of the Holy Spirit, but to advance to the 'Holy King', you need the Jade Seal, four of the ten famous swords.
Now Qin Hao has obtained Long Yuan, plus Tai'a and Yuxi in Qin Wen's hands, and Mo Xie, the general in Ren Hongchang's hands.
Qin Hao has already completed all the conditions for the 'Holy King' to advance to the 'Holy King'. As long as he obtains the last piece of the Holy Spirit suit, the Xuanwu Jade Belt, Qin Hao will directly obtain the 'Holy King' skill.
However, it is not that easy to get this last piece of equipment. The possibility of getting it from the mall is too low, so Qin Hao can only place his hope on the designated weapon rewarded in the prestige mission 6, "Leave a Name for a Hundred Generations".
Summoning cards, it is obviously not easy to complete "leaving a name for generations".
"I don't know if I can complete the 'remaining name for a hundred generations' after the struggle for Dong is over, otherwise I can only rely on proclaiming myself emperor." Qin Hao thought to himself.
"Reporting... to the alliance leader, the defenders at the two southeastern gates of Luoyang are rapidly shrinking their forces and burning the defense equipment."
Qin Hao smiled lightly and said to himself: "I want to abandon the city at this time, don't you think it's a bit late!"
"In addition, fires broke out everywhere in the city."
"What?"
Qin Hao's face became a little ugly. This was a conspiracy. He deliberately used the big city of Luoyang and the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people to delay the advance of the coalition forces, so that the Liang army could take advantage of this to escape.
If someone else were to serve as the leader of the alliance, they might pursue them regardless of the life and death of the people. After all, they are not bordering the forces and Sizhou.
But Qin Hao was different. Jingbei was right next to Sizhou, and he was planning to rule Luoyang for a long time. There was no way he could watch Luoyang turn into a dead city.
Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the wall of fire that was still burning at the west gate. He was constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, but in the end he preferred all-out rescue.
"Immediately pass the order. The two generals from the southeast gate will immediately lead their troops into the city to put out the fire. By the way, the priority should be to save people, and then construction."
"promise."
Qin Hao turned his head and looked at Yuan Shu, and said seriously: "Yuan Yuzhou, the Liang army will definitely break out from the west gate, and with the strength of General Benchu, it may not be able to stop the Liang army. You quickly lead the 20,000 Yuzhou army to the west gate to support
.”
Yuan Shu asked hesitantly: "But what should we do here at the North Gate?"
The north gate was the first city gate to be breached, but Yang Jian built a wall of fire, which hindered the advance of the allied forces outside the city.
After the fire was extinguished, the coalition forces outside the city could enter the city. However, the fire did not go out, which also gave Qin Hao a headache.
"I will mobilize troops from the camp, collect water and sand to put out the fire, and then go into the city to put out the fire."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded, and then led 20,000 Yuzhou troops straight to the west gate, but he allowed Zhao Kuangyin to lead thousands of troops to stay. Obviously he was not willing to give up the credit of the west gate, and Qin Hao naturally felt this
He won't care either.
As soon as Yuan Shu left, Yuan Shao's envoy arrived. Qin Hao also learned from the envoy that Yuan Shao had let Yang Jian leave. Qin Hao was so angry that he almost cursed.
Yuan Shao, this scheming bitch, really doesn't make people worry.
Qin Hao cursed secretly in his heart and regretted sending Yuan Shao to Ximen, but at this point it was too late to say anything.
"Yuan Shao has already decided on a strategy, so why do you want to come here?" Qin Hao said coldly.
"The state pastor hopes that the alliance leader will send reinforcements to pursue together."
I'll send you a hammer!
Qin Hao cursed secretly in his heart, but said calmly on the surface: "Go back and tell Yuan Shao that Yang Jian set fires everywhere in Luoyang before breaking out, and the people in the city are in dire straits.
Our coalition forces are fighting against Dong for the sake of justice, and we must not ignore the people of Luoyang. We currently have no extra troops to support him, so let him handle it as he sees fit."
"This...No."
Looking at the envoy's leaving figure, a cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.
Yuan Shao has already begun to treat him in both positive and negative ways, and the other princes also have different ideas, and this is not a good sign.
"I'm afraid the day when the coalition forces will fall apart is not far away." Qin Hao sighed.
If that day comes, it means that Qin Hao will fight alone and fight the world alone, but even so, Qin Hao will not be afraid at all.
The establishment of the Dongdong Alliance this time has brought many surprises to Qin Hao. Even if the alliance splits, he has gained enough benefits from the princes and has nothing to regret.
Soon, Qin Hao mobilized all the troops of the Kwantung Allied Forces Camp to the North Gate, and at this time, the fire at the North Gate finally came down.
Under the fire-fighting efforts of the army, the fire on the North Gate Fire Wall was gradually extinguished. Then hundreds of thousands of troops, led by Qin Hao, entered the city with the North Gate and began to put out fires everywhere in Luoyang City.
At the same time, Han Xin from the east gate and Liu Che from the south gate also entered the city from the southeast gate.
Luoyang, the old capital of the Han Dynasty, was finally completely occupied by the coalition forces.
The next day, after an overnight rescue effort by more than 200,000 troops, the fire in Luoyang was finally completely extinguished, and the extent of the losses exceeded Qin Hao's imagination.
