Chapter 362: Trapping the Camp and Attacking
Zhao Shen took the remnants of the army, running on the empty streets in embarrassment, faintly perceiving a hint of something bad in his heart, the city wall seemed to have been prepared, and Yang Ding was replaced by Guo Yi, the Hedong Army, which had always been relied on by him as the biggest helper, was gone, and the strategy of himself and others had already been known by Li Ru?
What happened to the palace? What about the General's Mansion?
The ominous premonition continued to brew in his heart, and Li Ru's smiling face suddenly flashed in Zhao Shen's mind, but somehow, there was a chill in his heart.
Thief of the country! You will not die well!
Just as he was thinking about it, chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded in front of him, Zhao Shen hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "Stop, line up to meet the enemy!" ”
In the dark, it was natural that he couldn't see clearly what the other party was, but after experiencing the scene under the city gate, Zhao Shen had already become a frightened bird, and this sudden footsteps made him instinctively think that he was surrounded by the enemy.
On the other side, Yuan Zheng and the remnants also heard the footsteps on the opposite side, and hurriedly stopped the troops from slowing down, there were no chasing soldiers behind him, could it be that the other party had calculated his direction and was ready to intercept him here?
Yuan Zheng was a little surprised, looking at those black shadows from a distance and didn't dare to step forward, on the other side, Zhao Shen felt that something was wrong, looking at the appearance of these people, it didn't look like those well-trained troops in Luoyang City, and said tentatively: "I am Zhao Shen in the imperial history, who is you?" ”
Hearing that it was Zhao Shen, Yuan Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhao Zhongcheng, the last general Yuan Zheng!" ”
Yuan Zheng?
Hearing Yuan Zheng's voice, Zhao Shen was not surprised, but his heart sank a little, Yuan Zheng appeared here, and looking at the unlucky appearance, it was obviously not successful, that is to say, the attack on the side of the General's Mansion was also unsuccessful.
Zhao Shen was a little cold, he failed in two places in a row, he didn't expect Guo You's side to succeed, the other party obviously had already made arrangements.
"Why are you so embarrassed? Where is Han Hu? Zhao Shen asked unwillingly.
"The General's Mansion has been prepared for a long time, Han Hu was assassinated by thieves, and the last general had to break through." Yuan Zheng obviously didn't want to say that the two of them were defeated by a young man, and Han Hu couldn't hurt people with a secret arrow, but was killed by a little doll, which would make people think he was a waste.
Zhao Shen didn't think much about it, after all, the city gate was also plotted, and it was natural that the General's Mansion, as Chen Mo's mansion, had already been arranged, but tonight's situation was out of his control, and everything was different from what he expected, which made him a little confused.
"Zhongcheng, what should I do next?" Yuan Zheng gathered beside Zhao Shen, a little flustered.
"I'm afraid the palace has also failed at the moment, we will try to break out of the city and join the Cao army, as long as we occupy Yique Pass, it will not be a loss!" Zhao Shen gritted his teeth, the city wall and the general's mansion have lost successively, if it is not bad, then the palace, Guo You may also fail, but there are so many soldiers and horses in the city, even if Li Ru has already arranged, it is impossible to come out more, there must be weaknesses, it is no longer realistic to seize Luoyang now, you must escape from the city first and then make plans, at least Yique Pass is still in their hands now, they still have a way to retreat.
"Then I'll wait for my family ......" Yuan Zheng was in a hurry when he heard this, and their family members were still in the city.
"At this time, whether to stay and die with your family, or run away first and wait for the opportunity to take revenge, and decide for yourself!" Zhao Shen said coldly, his family is also here, but he has no choice, if he waits for Li Ru to solve everything, they may not even have a chance to escape.
Yuan Zheng hesitated for a moment, and was about to follow Zhao Shen to leave, but at this time, he saw a few people staggering towards this side, and behind them, there were a large number of Luoyang guards.
"It's Jibei Hou!" Yuan Zheng's eyes were sharp, and by the night light, he vaguely recognized the fugitive, and his face changed.
Jibei waited for Liu Zhen, according to the plan to loot the arsenal, and now he is like this, obviously unsuccessful, and what's worse, unlike Zhao Shen and Yuan Zheng, he is still followed by the pursuing soldiers.
Zhao Shen's face was ugly, and he pulled Yuan Zheng and said, "Go!" ”
A group of remnants of the defeated army met the well-equipped Luoyang Guards, and Zhao Shen was not confident of winning.
But they wanted to leave, but Liu Zhen saw the two of them over there, and hurriedly said loudly: "Zhongcheng save me, Zhongcheng save me!" ”
Zhao Shen and Yuan Zheng's faces turned dark, and they ran faster, Liu Zhen secretly scolded and ran with the two of them, at least there are still some troops here that can protect each other, and his side is almost wiped out.
The chaos in Luoyang City continued, and the addition of the Hedong Army enriched Luoyang's troops, and under the command of the generals of various departments, they began to drive those private soldiers in the city in the direction of the palace in accordance with the strategy set by Li Ru before.
On the other side, Guangyang Gate, when Niu Jin led the Cao army to Guangyang Gate, he saw that the gate of Guangyang City had been opened, and the sound of fighting one after another could be vaguely heard from the city, and Luoyang City was indeed in chaos.
"General, is there a deception?" An adjutant general looked at the open city gate, and above the city gate, not even a single soldier guarding the city could be seen, and he was a little surprised.
"Most likely that Zhao Shen succeeded." Niu Jin looked around and sneered: "How many soldiers and horses can there be in the city now, and they all go to the city to quell the rebellion at this moment, even if there are some ambushes, what can they do?" Soldiers, kill with me! ”
"Kill~"
A famous Cao army soldiers have raised their weapons and killed towards the city, these Cao soldiers are different from those private soldiers in the city, well-trained, tacit understanding, if the ordinary army encounters, it may not be able to take advantage, this is also where Niu Jin's confidence lies, and now in Luoyang City, there should be no way to divide too many troops to fight with them.
"Crunch~"
Just after all these Cao troops poured into the city, the drawbridge outside the city gate suddenly began to slowly retract, Niu Jin turned his head when he heard the sound, his brows furrowed, and he felt bad.
At this moment, the city suddenly lit up with firelight, and under the rows of torches, longing figures appeared, and cold arrows locked them one after another.
"General, look!" The lieutenant suddenly pointed ahead and said loudly.
Niu Jin looked back and saw that on the spacious street, an army had stopped in front of them at some point, blocking their way and being flanked!
"Shoot the arrows!" On the city wall, Gao Shun looked at this Cao army indifferently, waved his raised hand fiercely, and the bows and arrows that had been prepared were shot towards the dense Cao army under the city.
"Rush!" Niu Jin saw that there were a large number of troops stationed on the city wall, and it would inevitably cost a great deal to take the city wall against the wind at this time, but the army in front of him seemed to have few people, and if he wanted to break the situation, the best way was to defeat the soldiers and horses in front of him first, and then meet with Zhao Shen and those people before making plans.
"Kill!" With Zhao Shen's order, Cao Jun resisted the cluster of arrows behind his back and began to kill the Luoyang defenders in front of him.
"Crossbowman, three shots!" Before falling into the camp, watching Cao Jun rushing towards this side, a flash of excitement flashed in Li Shan's eyes, and with an order, the crossbowmen holding strong crossbows in the front row quickly lined up in three rows, and the first row quickly withdrew after shooting the arrow clusters in their hands, followed by the second and third rows shooting out in turn.
The crossbow in the hands of the trapped camp is not a new crossbow, but a three-stone rhubarb crossbow commonly used in the Han army, although the rate of fire is not as fast as the new crossbow, but the power is extremely strong, such a close distance, even able to shoot through the bodies of two Cao Jun in a row.
Cao Jun's ferocious momentum fell in pieces with the soldiers in the front row, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it, Li Shan raised the long knife in his hand, and said loudly: "Trap the camp, kill!" ”
"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!" A soldier of the trap camp wearing heavy armor and carrying a large wooden shield walked in a neat step, forming a shield formation in the slogan of Xiao Killing, allowing the cluster of arrows shot by Cao Jun to continue to hit the wooden shield, but it could not stop them from walking firmly.
Cao Jun was surging towards this side like a torrent under the leadership of Niu Jin with an indomitable momentum, but the speed of trapping the camp was not fast, and dozens of strong shields were like an impregnable city wall, fearlessly facing the surging torrent.
The surging Cao Jun of the tide slammed into the wooden shield of the trapped camp fiercely, and suddenly bloomed into a bright wave, the cold spear poked out from behind the wooden shield, and penetrated the body of the Cao Jun who surged up, and the cold steel knife split out with the moment the shield hand moved sideways to remove the big shield, and the blood flowers brought up covered the night, and the red blood stained the bluestone paved road, and life was constantly harvested and trampled like mustard at this moment.
Niu Jin's angry knife slashed at the body of a soldier who was trapped in the camp, and the resistance from the knife shaft was so great that Niu Jin was a little surprised, these soldiers were wearing iron armor, and they were cut off with a knife, and the knife was curled, but in exchange, it was only an extra blood mark on the opponent's body, which was not enough to kill at all.
The wounded soldiers stared at Niu Jin indifferently, and the long knife in his hand slashed fiercely at Niu Jin's neck, on the battlefield, he did not pursue any complex changes, and usually performed a one-hit killing move, even if it was a general, caught in the crowd, he could only use this way to kill the enemy as quickly and effectively.
Niu Jin hurriedly raised his knife to parry, and another soldier in the camp suddenly stabbed into Niu Jin's abdomen after blocking Cao Jun's attack, Niu Jin was shocked, and before the other party stirred the knife, he retreated frantically, and blood kept gushing out of the wound, Niu Jin dodged the opponent's killing move in embarrassment, and his own soldiers in the rear went up and saved Niu Jin.
At this moment, he had a chance to look around, and his eyes widened in amazement, Cao Jun was powerless to resist in front of this army, his own soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, at this moment, faced with the elite but fragile attack under the command of Chen Mo, the soldiers in the camp were like chopping melons and vegetables to harvest the lives of Cao Jun's soldiers, which was a hedge, it was clearly a massacre.
Even Niu Jin, a general who is known for his bravery, can't stop the combined attack of the two soldiers who are trapped in the camp, although these Cao army soldiers are elite, but in the face of such a monster-like army, there is really not much resistance power, at this moment when Niu Jin was stunned, the Cao army has begun to break and flee.
