Li Rugui, dressed in golden armor with a single spear slung across his back, was a common soldier. He cautiously crept to the top of the siege ladder, where the allied forces of the three kings had clearly not yet discovered his presence. His small stature gave him an advantage, watching as several Sui soldiers who had rushed up were swept away. He waited for his opportunity. In terms of skill, he was a first-rate general; ten or eight ordinary men would be no match for him. However, he was also aware of his own limitations. If he recklessly charged up, he would meet the same fate as the Sui soldiers who had just rushed up. He was waiting for the most fatal blow, because, coincidentally, he had come up to the edge of the city gate tower, a blind spot. The clever and cunning Li Rugui seized the opportunity and set his sights on Gao Tansheng, the White Prince of Xiangzhou, who was surrounded by a group of people on the city gate tower. Judging from his gleaming armor, he was the commander-in-chief. Killing him would grant him the greatest merit, and once he was dead, the three kings' army would immediately collapse. This was the perfect opportunity.
With a blood-red light flashing in his eyes, Li Rugui tried to tell himself, "The credit is mine, the credit is mine, I'm coming soon, you wait for me!"
Xiangzhou Bai Yuwang Gao Tansheng was completely unaware of the impending danger. The attack from below the city was relentless, but it was clear that the Sui army had not yet shown any signs of capturing Gaotang Prefecture. This temporarily put his mind at ease. He believed that as long as he could withstand this wave of attacks, the rest would be much easier. No matter how many Sui soldiers there were or how strong their generals were, they could not do anything to him. Once his reinforcements arrived, they would launch a coordinated attack from within and without, and he would surely destroy them!
Lost in thought, Gao Tansheng, the White Prince of Xiangzhou, was completely unaware of the impending danger. Perhaps because he was too far away to see clearly what was below, Gao Tansheng subconsciously took a few steps down and leaned over to look down. At that moment, Li Rugui, who had been waiting patiently, finally seized the opportunity. He climbed up the city wall from the top of the ladder. His short stature provided him with the greatest protection. Although small, he was agile, and his sudden leap was a fatal blow.
The instant he leaped onto the city wall, Li Rugui swiftly drew his single spear. The spear was short, and its length could be broken and folded back together, perfectly suited to his physique, making it easy to hold and not hindering his movements. In mounted combat, it could instantly extend, becoming a concealed killing technique. Li Rugui was now using this technique. In the instant he lunged at Gao Tansheng, the White Prince of Xiangzhou, his spear, which was already short, immediately extended. In the blink of an eye, the spear tip was already at Gao Tansheng's throat.
"Ah!" came a scream!
Xiangzhou Bai Yuwang spoke highly of the art of warfare, but he was not a skilled martial artist. He knew a few techniques but was not proficient in any of them. Faced with the fatal blow from Li Rugui, who had once been a bandit king and had committed robbery and murder without restraint, he panicked. The dozens of guards behind him reacted and rushed forward, but it was too late in the blink of an eye!
The spear tip pierced directly into Gao Tansheng's throat. With disbelief, resentment, and anger on his face, Gao Tansheng staggered and swayed a few times. When Li Rugui pulled out his spear, a spurt of blood gushed out, and the corpse fell directly to the ground. A single spear to the throat was fatal; even a celestial being couldn't revive him. He was dead beyond any hope of recovery.
"Ah! Gao Tansheng, the White Prince of Xiangzhou, is dead! Gao Tansheng, the White Prince of Xiangzhou, is dead!"
In ancient times, it was said that generals were the courage of soldiers; if the commander-in-chief was there, the army was there; if the commander-in-chief died, the army died. The death of Gao Tansheng, the White Prince of Xiangzhou, had a fatal effect. The three-king allied forces, which had been fighting with high morale and full force against the Sui army's attack, instantly fell into chaos. Those who had initially seen the situation on the surrounding area, as the momentum grew, those guarding the city walls heard the news and immediately lost their backbone and their cohesion. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, the Sui army quickly rushed up. Shang Shitu and Changsun Wuji also rushed up. Although it was Li Rugui who made the contribution, Qi Guoyuan still excitedly shouted, "Send a few men to open the city gate! General Changsun, you and I will go and meet our hero, Brother Rugui! Haha, this time we have really been defeated by him."
With the death of Gao Tansheng, the White Prince of Xiangzhou, and the fall of the city walls to the Sui army, the allied forces of the three kings lost all will to resist. Some threw down their weapons and fled, some knelt down and surrendered with their weapons in hand, and some took off their military uniforms, put on civilian clothes, and hid among the people. In short, they all sought their own way of survival.
The gates of Luoyang were opened, and Shang Shitu, who had been suffocating with anger below the city, roared and rushed in. Then the vanguard of the Sui army followed and quickly occupied Luoyang. By the time Luo Cheng and the others in the central army received the news, the entire city of Luoyang was already under the control of the Sui army.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The three consecutive "good"s demonstrated Luo Cheng's excitement. The Sui army had fought a brilliant attack on Luoyang. The siege proved that the Sui army was still the invincible force it was known for. As the saying goes, they had displayed the Sui army's prestige and the Sui dynasty's spirit. With a command, he ordered strict adherence to Sui military discipline and forbidding any harassment of the people of Luoyang. Then, surrounded by his generals, Luo Cheng entered Luoyang.
After Luo Cheng entered the city, Wang Shichong, the Prince of Luoyang, personally escorted Tang Bi, the Prince of Jinan, and Meng Haigong to Luo Cheng, completing the task Yang Guang had given him years before. After this battle, there was no further fighting in the Luoyang area. Luo Cheng left Qi Guoyuan and Li Rugui with 50,000 troops to guard the Luoyang area, while he himself led his troops towards Xianyang to support the forces of Chu Xiaoxiao, Han Qinhu's niece. A day later, Yang Yichen's army arrived, only to find Luoyang already pacified. Yang Yichen greatly admired Luo Cheng's leadership, and the two armies joined forces and marched together towards Xianyang.
