Chapter 807: A hundred horsemen walked around the city
The sky is high and refreshing, there is no trace of clouds in the blue sky, a team of cavalry galloped out of the Shenwu Army camp, the horse team has no obvious banner, and the average person only thinks that it is a horse exploration ranger, but in fact, this horse team is full of characters who can count the Shenwu Army. Bayi Middle School ≈≤.
Qin Jin skillfully controlled the war horse, and the ground was even slippery and muddy, and the intermittent heavy rain last night brought them a lot of trouble on this trip. After leaving the gate of the Chinese army, almost every few hundred steps, you will be able to see the shadow of the Shenwu army, from rangers to people, all kinds of people.
If it weren't for the imminent war, ordinary people really wouldn't have seen the slightest tension.
The closer it was to Luoyang City, the more vertical and horizontal ravines there were, and the war horses had to dodge in the middle, and when they raised their heads, everyone could already see the towering walls of Luoyang. Soon, another group of cavalry came rushing towards them.
However, these cavalry did not come to greet them.
"Everyone, stay behind, and then go further is the forbidden area, there is an order in the army, but if you see anyone who enters and leaves at will, you will be shot on the spot!"
This is a means of besieging the city by the Shenwu army. The circumference of Luoyang City is dozens of miles, and it will definitely not be able to surround it with the men and horses of the Shenwu Army, but it is still possible to set up pipe clamps at key points. Qin Jin smiled, slowed down the horse according to his words, he did not inform Xue Huan of this trip today, in order not to alarm them, just looking at the current situation, he was afraid that he would not be alarmed.
As they were stopped by a group of cavalry, Xue Huan led more than 100 personal guards to rush over.
Qingxuzi joked to Xue Huan:
"The doctor specially concealed his whereabouts today, but your nose is comparable to that of a hound, and it is very bright!"
In this regard, Xue Huan seemed to be quite complacent, and his eyes were full of confidence.
"If you don't have this ability, how can you cut off the connection between Luoluo River and Luoyang City for the doctor?"
Xue Huan briefly introduced their troop deployment, Luoyang City was too big for them to see, but the military camp in Luoluohe was seen deadly, even if a bird flew out, it was clearly monitored.
Qin Jin nodded appreciatively, and then raised his hand to point to the Luoyang city wall in the distance.
"The precautions against Luoyang City cannot be taken lightly, if they make a surprise attack, it will still be very destructive!"
"What the doctor said is very true, and the last general will definitely follow the teachings!"
Xue Huan agreed very happily, but Qin Jin could see that this young man's eyes were full of confidence, and although his words were full of humility, he was actually a little disappreciative in his heart.
Under Qin Jin's order, the gap was opened in the low fence for isolation, and Qin Jin was the first to enter it, this time he wanted to take a closer look at Luoyang City. The city was both a lair of rebels and the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty.
After entering the quarantine area, Qin Jin personally realized why Xue Huan was so confident, but seeing that the ravines outside the low fence were criss-crossed, although the depth was only half a person, it was a huge trouble for any people who tried to raid.
It seems that Xue Huan has squeezed the people who can be used by the private sector to the extreme, otherwise it would be impossible to dig a ravine of this scale in just a few days.
However, the accompanying Qingxuzi had doubts.
"Why did General Xue only dig a ravine on the side of Luoyang City, but on the side of the military camp near the Luoluo River, there was a flat river?"
Xue Huan is still polite and powerful, even if he is as humble and polite as ever to Qingxuzi, who is sloppy and has always been informal.
It's not that the general is lazy, but the doctor will teach Yan Zhuang that old dog a lesson sooner or later, if he digs a ravine, it will eventually cause trouble for our Shenwu Army!"
Hearing this, Qing Xuzi's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, just when the sky was bright, they had set up an established strategy of both soft and hard against Yan Zhuang in Qin Jin's private account, but it seemed that Xue Huan had expected it early on.
However, this decision is still a top secret in the Shenwu Army, and it is certainly impossible for Qing Xuzi to say it privately without Qin Jin's permission. Don't look at his usual appearance, he can also be thick and fine at critical moments.
Therefore, Qingxuzi only grinned, and slapped his forehead to make a funny expression.
"General Xue can really pinch and calculate, I'm afraid that the poor man's job is going to be lost!"
Qing Xuzi's words are self-deprecating to a great extent, because he is not friendly to monks and Taoists in the Shenwu Army, and his ability to gain a firm foothold in the Shenwu Army is inseparable from Qin Jin's strong support, but the white eyes he received are not humane.
In the Shenwu army, whether it is the Hedong or Guanzhong lineage, they all uphold the tradition of rejecting Buddhism and Taoism, and according to the ideas instilled in them by the Qin and Jin dynasties, most of the Taoist priests are Jianghu warlocks who are attached to the powerful, also known as power brokers. The monks, on the other hand, have a large number of hearts, annex land, and do not need to pay rent because they have the guise of a Buddhist temple. Therefore, both types of people are silverfish parasitic on the court and the common people, especially the latter is far more than the former.
Therefore, Qing Xuzi also understood that the reason why he was able to gain power was because he bewitched Qin Jin with evil words, so that he could become the master of the first battalion of the firearms battalion. However, since the crucial battle that night was fought without fear of death, Qingxuzi has seen that his situation has changed greatly.
The prejudices of the past are more or less gone, and in their place are the respects he never enjoyed.
It's just that here in Xue Huan, although the words are polite, Qing Xuzi can still see the disdain in his eyes.
Because of this, Qing Xuzi made a harmless joke and ridiculed Xue Huan as a warlock of unknown prophets.
Xue Huan laughed awkwardly a few times, not only did he not win the other party's respect, but instead caused ridicule, which made him uneasy, and he peeked at Qin Jin again.
The most taboo thing for a general is to get carried away, as the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will lose, did you talk too much just now? It's a pity that he can't see the joy and anger on Qin Jin's face, and naturally he doesn't know what Qin Jin's impression of himself is.
The horses of their group were not fast, not much faster than jogging, Qin Jin turned his head to look at Xue Huan and cast an encouraging look.
"It's a good thing to have self-confidence, and I really plan to teach Yan Zhuang a lesson these days, but be careful in everything, and don't take it lightly because you have won too many battles!"
Qin Jin's words were impartial and serious, Xue Huan was very convinced when he heard it, and replied with a straight face:
"The doctor's lesson is that the last general should keep it in mind!"
In just a few words, the horse team was getting closer and closer to the Luoyang city wall, and even attracted the attention of the rebels in the city, and there were bursts of shouts.
Xue Huan was immediately alert and dissuaded Qin Jin from continuing to approach the city wall.
"Doctor, you can't go any further, if you enter the land of an arrow, the bow and crossbow will be invincible!"
Qin Jin is as good as a stream, knowing that this kind of thing is not as easy as in various allusions, he just admonished Xue Huan not to be lucky, and he naturally has to lead by example.
So, the group stopped at the horse and watched, and even the angry eyebrows of the rebels in the city could be seen clearly with good eyes. They had just stopped, but they saw that there were arrows falling down on the wall, but the distance was too far, and most of them fell lightly at their feet.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, if you anger the rebels, maybe you can use the bed crossbow to greet us!"
Xue Huan still couldn't suppress his worry, he didn't want Qin Jin to have an accident in his defense area. Fortunately, Qin Jin did not hold his own opinions, and soon led his group along the trench defense line from north to south.
This patrol can even be called a blatant reconnaissance, and the horse team almost circled around the entire Luoyang City, until it fell into the south bank of the water and stopped again.
At this time, they had already left the main force of the Shenwu Army, and hundreds of cavalry gathered in one place looked very eye-catching. Xue Huan was always worried that the rebels would send people out of the city to attack, and he regretted it a little, why didn't he send more people to escort him all the way?
Qin Jin saw through Xue Huan's thoughts, pointed to the Luoshui River in front of him and said:
"There has been a great drought for two days in a row, Luoshui is not even up to the waist, if they dare to kill it, we will wade across the river, and our men and horses are also stationed on the north bank, and the rebels will not dare to chase after them!"
Xue Huan's words gave Xue Huan a great shock, what he cared about was not whether the rebels dared to chase them out, but whether the once invincible thief rebels had also fallen like this, and the Shenwu army did not dare to send people out of the city to stop the brazen horse running outside the city. It's really a time and a moment!
Xue Huan still had a question in his heart, that is, why did Qin Jin take the risk of walking around Luoyang City today, and was there any inevitable connection between this and the upcoming military operation?
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a whistle, and he suddenly woke up.
"Not good, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The whistle was the patrol station responsible for guarding the surroundings, Qin Jin raised his eyes to look at the place where the sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and saw a group of cavalry rushing out of Luoyang City.
The rebels finally couldn't help but send someone out, of course he wouldn't choose to entangle with it, since the other party came to catch up, just leave!
"Hurry the horse, go, go, go north, go north, cross the river!"
After a loud shout, hundreds of Shenwu cavalry quickly approached the bank of the Luoshui River, and Xue Huan was a little weak-hearted, after all, there were several heavy rains last night, if the water level was deeper, they would be completely trapped here, and the situation would inevitably become dangerous.
However, when the war horse waded into the river, Xue Huan was surprised to find that the water was really only waist-deep, and he didn't even have his knees on the horse.
Looking back at the rebel cavalry that had been pursued, they really stopped and wandered on the bank of the river, not daring to go into the water. Xue Huan secretly wiped a cold sweat, he couldn't figure out whether Qin Jin was like a god, or did he have another trick?
In any case, after this incident, Xue Huan was completely convinced of Qin Jin, relying on the calm and accurate judgment of this facing enemy alone, it was one in ten thousand, and it was difficult for ordinary people to do it!
