Chapter 244: Dingyang IX
On the battlefield, there was silence. With {dream} small ◢.1a
All the soldiers seemed to be quiet, their eyes widened, and they all stared at the peerless back and walked away.
Alone.
Eight thousand soldiers.
On this side of the battlefield, the siege of 100,000 troops was stirred, first the Xiliang army formation, then the Nanyang army formation, and then the long drive into the Violent Bear Army formation, and finally marched away.
It was less than an hour before and after.
What a terrible thing to do.
"Lu Bu!"
Mu Shan slowly came back to his senses and muttered out the unfamiliar name.
He didn't know Lu Bu, and he hadn't heard of it.
On the battlefield, he was confident and conceited, and he had never been afraid of anyone, even if Huang Zhong thought it was insufficient, he would not be afraid.
And just now.
He was timid.
He remembered that scene with palpitations, if Huang Zhong hadn't killed him halfway, I am afraid that even if he couldn't die today, he would have to get rid of his body, and the evil aura of that halberd penetrated the depths of his soul and shocked his soul.
"Lord, do you want to pursue?" After half a ring, when the Bingzhou army completely disappeared from everyone's eyes, Huang Shao, the commander of the Nanyang Army, reacted, he walked up, looked at Mushan, and asked in a low voice.
"Don't chase, collect the troops!" Mushan had already recovered, his eyes were gloomy, he looked at the silhouette of the city that was like a shadow, shook his head, and ordered in a deep voice
"Collect the troops now?"
Huang Shao was a little unwilling, he said: "We just underestimated the role of their cavalry, and when we were suddenly attacked, we would be disrupted in formation, and we had enough preparations, with our strength, we were enough to deal with their cavalry!" ”
Although Lu Bu disrupted their formation with 8,000 cavalry, in fact, the casualties caused were not large, and it did not damage much of their strength, as long as they were cleaned up, there was still a chance to leave them.
"Even if we can catch up!"
Mu Shan gritted his teeth and said: "This distance from Luoyang is only a few miles, it is within easy reach, the high walls of Luoyang City are thick, it is not suitable for attack, since they have been allowed to escape, we can't leave them, there is no hope of leaving Ding Yuan in this battle, it is useless to fight again, and our army has been fighting for several days, and he is already exhausted, and it is not suitable to fight again, give orders, clean up the battlefield, and return to the camp to rest!" ”
Although this battle is a bit anticlimactic, the outcome of this battle has been decided.
Even if Ding Yuan was rescued in the end.
He still lost.
He Jin has died in battle, the prince and the queen have fallen into his hands, and there is the jade seal of the country, and the overall situation is already under his control.
Makiyama won.
Of course, if Ding Yuan can be left completely, it is still a good thing, after all, if the banner of the state army cannot be defeated, it will make the future self constrained by the imperial court, which is not conducive to his own ruling the imperial court.
However, the appearance of Lu Bu made Mushan's plan destined to be a little flawed.
Although Mushan is impulsive, but after all, the princes of one side do not lack the calmness of the battlefield, and he will not do some useless work, and collecting troops at this time is the best result.
"No!"
When the generals heard this, they gave up their orders, rode their horses away, and began to tidy up their sons and clean up the battlefield.
After the generals left, Mu Shan looked at Huang Zhong with a complicated look, hesitated for a while, and then said firmly: "Thank you!" ”
He knew that without Huang Zhong, this halberd might not be able to die by itself, but at least it would be seriously injured, and if it was serious, it would be killed here on the spot.
Huang Zhong's shot was a life-saving grace.
"No!"
Huang Zhong put away the long knife and smiled indifferently: "I'm just following orders!" ”
He had some regrets about the knife.
Regret is naturally not to save Mu Shan, Mu Shan and him, there is no deep hatred, saving Mu Shan is not too much psychological burden for him, he regrets that he hit in a hurry and failed to fight with Lu Bu.
A single blow can only make him feel Lu Bu's strength, but it can't let him understand Lu Bu's strength.
Martial arts have reached his level, it is already the limit, he needs stronger strong people to sharpen his progress, he has not encountered it for many years, and now, he has met it, but unfortunately, he has not been able to fight fiercely, which is somewhat regrettable.
"Lord, the Xiliang Army has also withdrawn!"
A general came to report.
"Collect the troops, just collect the troops!" Mushan looked at the north side, at this time, the Xiliang army, which had breathed a sigh of relief, was also slowly retreating north, they were no longer ready to continue fighting, they should want to retreat to the north direction to rest.
He thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Cang! ”
"In!"
"Send scouts, keep an eye on them, guard against them, but can't cross the bottom line and cause enemies, they are still our allies, now the situation, we have turned against Luoyang, if you want to enter Luoyang, you still need their assistance!"
"Understood!" Zhou Cang nodded.
"In addition, the most important point is that the Xiliang Army must not be allowed to get close to the Sunset Pavilion, understand?" Makiyama instructed.
On the sunset pavilion on the crown prince and the queen's mother, it is his ambition to win.
It is also the confidence for him to enter Luoyang.
If the Xiliang Army is allowed to take advantage of the chaos to counter the hijacking, then he will really lose his wife and lose his troops.
"Yes!"
When Zhou Cang heard this, his expression was solemn, and he took the order and left.
……
……
Night, quietly falling.
Under the starry sky, on the sunset pavilion, the Violent Bear Army and the Nanyang Army camped here, with the camp formed by the fortifications arranged by He Jin in the past, the brazier rose one by one, and the light was reflected like day.
The battle of the past two days was too tense, relaxed, and the soldiers could not care about the lack of comrades around them, and they had no time to grieve, so they rested directly as soon as they lay down, and in the camp, except for some neat patrolmen's footsteps, there was no sound.
The closest place to Tingyu, there is a camp tent, which is the main camp of the Chinese army.
In the main camp, the lights are bright.
The soldiers can rest, but the generals can't, after a big battle, there are too many things to deal with, clean the battlefield, count the casualties, bury the corpses, and put away the weapons...... It's all about things.
When the time came, these generals were still busy, but before they were busy, they had already been ordered by Mushan to be called in the camp.
A big battle, the winner is obvious.
After victory, the problems faced are also severe.
"What about today's casualties?"
In the camp tent, Mushan was in the first place, the generals stood left and right, the armor on his body had been removed, but a robe was stained with blood, the traces left on the battlefield had not been cleaned, and even the robe had not been changed, he didn't care about this now, his eyes were lifelike, he looked at Jiang Lu, who was the first on the left, and asked.
"Lord, the specific casualties have not yet been counted, but the Violent Bear Army alone has suffered more than three thousand casualties!" Jiang Lu replied.
"The casualties of my Nanyang Army are not under the Violent Bear Army!" Huang Shao's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Although I have taken precautions against the state army, I have underestimated the combat effectiveness of the state, and I still suffered a lot of losses...... We were in a big mess, and there were not many injuries in their hands, but our own people got up in chaos and trampled on them and suffered a lot of casualties! ”
"Lu Bu?"
This name made Makiyama's pupils change color, and his face was gloomy: "Who is talking to a certain about this fang!" ”
"Father!"
Mu Jing stood up, arched his hand to report, and said: "This is Ding Yuan Yizi, an orphan when he was young, adopted by Ding Yuan, became famous at a young age, when he was ten years old, he had fought and killed the wolf on the grassland, less than fifteen years old, he was already the most powerful warrior of the Huns, the first fierce general of the Hun army, he had fought with the Huns Xianbei many times, the weapon in his hand Fang Tian painted halberd, not only the peak of martial arts, but also the equestrian world, galloping above the Northern Desert, the number of flying generals, so that the alien race was frightened, and the command of the state flying horse is the strongest cavalry in the state army, It is rumored that in the past war with the Huns, his Bingzhou flying cavalry had several times imitated the champion Hou of the year to go deep into the land of the Hun royal court and fight, but he was able to kill one in and out alone, the strength is so strong, you must be cautious! ”
Half of this news is memories, and half of it is learned through the interrogation of the prisoners in Bingzhou, and when they are combined, they feel that Lu Bu is terrible.
Lu Bu alone is already terrifying, but with the Bingzhou flying cavalry under his command, it is even more terrifying, and this cavalry is the most difficult to guard against.
The cavalry was highly mobile and lined up, but they could fight all around.
"Huang Hansheng, you fought with Lu Bu today, are you sure?" Mu Shan stood up, paced back and forth, and after half a sound, his eyes looked at Huang Zhong, who was quiet behind Mu Jing, and asked in a voice.
Huang Hansheng is definitely the strongest general in the camp today, even if there is a mustard between them, but at this moment, it is impossible for him to abandon the fierce general and not use it.
"Martial arts, I don't think I'm going to lose to him!"
Huang Zhong thought about it, considered Lu Bu's strength, and then said cautiously: "But I don't have confidence in him on the battlefield!" ”
"Why?"
"The fight on the battlefield, momentum, and equestrianism are all very important, not just martial arts, in terms of martial arts, I naturally don't think he is stronger than me, but his equestrian skills are practiced on the grassland, I am definitely inferior, and ......" Huang Zhong raised a trace of jealousy in his eyes.
"And what?" Mu Shan, who was replaced by Mu Jing, asked something that everyone wanted to know.
"He should lead the troops for many years, so he makes good use of the troops, the strength of the soldiers, can overwhelm the world, the stronger the momentum, the stronger the qi, I should not be as good as this, after all, I haven't led the troops for some years!"
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.
In the battle on the battlefield, for the two generals who are half a catty and eight taels, the momentum is very important, leading the army and commanding the army, what is important is the momentum, this point, Huang Zhong thinks that he is not as good as Lu Bu, and the cavalry under Lu Bu is too strong.
"Such a fierce general, but he can't be used by me!"
When Mu Shan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, if even Huang Zhong couldn't stop Lu Bu, this would inevitably become a big obstacle, but now that the enemy is already an enemy, he is helpless, he sighed, and said: "This has become an obstacle for us to enter Luoyang!" ”
"Lord, it is the righteousness to welcome His Royal Highness the Prince back to the capital, if we can't enter the city, I'm afraid we will be regarded by the world as a coercive prince and self-respecting!" Li Yan arched his hand and said.
"Lord, I am willing to be the vanguard and attack Luoyang!"
Lei Hu surrendered to the battle.
The generals also understood in their hearts that this battle could not be retreated, He Jin was killed by them, and if he didn't enter Luoyang, what was this, would it be a shame for the people of the world.
"Haoming, now that we are difficult to ride a tiger, what should I do?"
Mu Shan trusts Jiang Lu very much, with Jiang Lu as the chief military advisor, not only because of Jiang Lu's talent, but also because of the trust established by their cooperation many times, even if there is a person with better wisdom and talent than Jiang Lu to give him advice, he will still listen to Jiang Lu, this has nothing to do with talent, but trust.
So in today's situation, the first thing he asked was Jiang Lu.
"Lord, since you have already torn your face, then let's be ruthless!" Jiang Lu stood up, he did not live up to Mu Shan's trust, and quickly gave an idea, and said: "Soldiers surround Luoyang and force Ding Yuan to kill!" ”
"Soldiers surround Luoyang?"
"Kill Ding Yuan?"
The generals were a little puzzled, and their eyes all looked at Jiang Lu.
Mu Jing and Xi Zhicai also stood beside him, hearing this, Mu Jing squinted slightly, and a flash of light burst out of his eyes, this is not a bad way, surrendering without a fight, but Xi Zhicai sighed a little, this situation seems to be more and more deviated from the peaceful situation.
"Soldiers surround Luoyang ......" Mushan heard this, and said: "But this Luoyang City is the imperial capital, the city is high and thick, and there is the main force of the state in the city, we may not be able to fight it!" ”
"No need to fight!"
Jiang Lu said: "But ********?" "Makiyama is unknown.
"My lord, I mean, to use power to persecute the ministers of the court, take their sword to kill Ding Yuan, and completely divide and disintegrate the main force of the state army!" Jiang Ludao.
"Will they be willing?"
Makiyama was even more confused.
"Brother Zhicai, do you think they will be willing?" Jiang Lu did not answer Mu Shan's words, but looked at the young man with vivid eyes, and asked rhetorically.
"I don't know!"
Xi Zhicai thought about it, there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared in a flash, and then his face was straight, he shook his head, indicating that he had no answer, and finally said: "Although the influence is great, but now that the righteousness is in Lord Taifu, you can give it a try!" ”
What is righteousness?
The righteousness is that Makiyama sent troops to quell the rebellion.
The righteousness is that now the crown prince and the queen and the prince association are all in the hands of Mushan.
The righteousness is that Mushan holds the jade seal of the country.
Righteousness is ......
Mushan became a loyal minister of King Qin, but was attacked by the soldiers of the state.
With these great righteousness, even if Mu Shan is a little arrogant and does the thing of besieging Luoyang, it will not have much influence on his reputation, and this may be able to succeed in one move, without spending a single soldier, and can destroy the state army.
"Good!"
Mushan made a decision: "Tomorrow the drum beats, please ask the prince to come forward, issue the queen's decree, send troops to Luoyang City, I want to enter it!" ”
He thought for a while and said, "In addition, tell the Xiliang Army and let them cooperate with us, and the mistakes in today's battle will not be blamed in the past!" ”
It was the Xiliang Army that lost the barrier in the east that plunged the entire battlefield into a mess, so that the 8,000 cavalry under Lu Bu's command could drive straight in and directly disrupt the arrangement of the 100,000 main forces that were united between them.
This is counted, it is a mistake of Xi Liangnan.
"No!"
The generals bowed their heads and took orders.
After that, the generals continued to discuss in the camp some issues concerning the end of the battlefield, the reorganization of the soldiers and horses, and the ownership of the prisoners, until the ugly time came, they dispersed, and each returned to the camp for a short rest.
……
……
After returning to Jingping Camp, Mu Jing had no intention of sleeping, so he pulled Xi Zhicai to talk for a long time.
"You don't seem to have said something just now!" Mu Jing looked at Xi Zhicai, his eyes were lifelike, sharp as a blade.
"I can't hide it from your eyes!"
Xi Zhicai glanced at Mu Jing, picked up the wine cup in his hand, took a sip of warm wine, and then said: "It is imperative for the soldiers to surround Luoyang, but what kind of consequences this will cause, it is really unpredictable, those pampered ministers in Luoyang City are naturally afraid of Lord Taifu's troops, and now Lord Taifu controls the righteousness, after all, the state army attacked Lord Taifu first, and it was also when Lord Taifu exterminated the traitor He Jin, morally they can't sit still, and there will be complaints in Shilin, they can only take a step back and lead Lord Taifu into Luoyang." , but Ding Yuan, that is a person who is a person who is vertical and horizontal, how can he admit defeat so easily, once he rises up to resist, Luoyang can only bleed into a river, and we will also face a result that we can't help but fight, and we will lose both! ”
"Then why didn't you object just now!"
"I said, it is imperative to surround Luoyang!" Xi Zhicai shook his head: "Ding Yuan will not retreat after losing the battle, as the winner, why should we retreat!" ”
