Chapter 372: False Path Destroys
On the side of Luoyang City, Mao Muzhi and the others regretted it at this time, if they had known it earlier, they should not have believed Murong Chui's nonsense in the first place. So much so that now they are struggling to defend, and a big battle is fought, and the losses are very large. "When will the general's side send reinforcements? If this continues, we really won't be able to support it! Above the city, Dai Shi brought Mao Muzhi and Chen Wu over and said anxiously.
"We don't know! It's been so many days since we sent out the emergency report, and the general hasn't sent anyone to send a message! I don't know if he'll send reinforcements over! I think this time I'm afraid we'll have to rely on ourselves! Mao Muzhi shook his head and said helplessly.
"Well, if that's the case, I'm afraid we'll all have to die here! If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let them cross the river in the first place! Now that Murong Chui is attacking us, there is no place around us that can come to save us! Hearing this, Chen Wu couldn't help but sigh.
"What's the use of talking about this now! No matter what, we're going to have to do our best to keep going! Perhaps, the general's reinforcements are coming soon! For the two of them, Dai Shi couldn't help but say angrily.
"You say, is it possible for the Huashan Army to come to our rescue?" Thinking that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, the three of them couldn't help but be a little silent. However, after thinking for a while, Chen Wu suddenly said.
"You think, don't forget, Murong Chui's army passed under our noses. If I were the Huashan Army, I would like Luoyang City to be captured by Murong Chui at this moment, and then I would take it over justifiably! Are you counting on them to save us? Not to mention that the Huashan army was ambushed once, and I heard that there were a lot of losses, so now it must be very cautious! Hearing his words, Dai Shi couldn't help but glance at him and said lightly.
"Stop, stop thinking about these unrealistic things! The only way to do this is to gather more people to go to the city as soon as possible to help defend it. Otherwise, how can we hold on to our 2,000 soldiers and horses alone! I only hope that the general's side will get the news as soon as possible, and quickly send troops and horses north! Mao Muzhi said on the side.
Immediately, the three of them went their separate ways. Fortunately, there are still a lot of people in this Luoyang City, otherwise, this city will really not be able to defend it.
It is said that Huan Wen decided to watch the play at the beginning, and waited until Murong Chui and Huashanjun fought for a while, and then he appeared as a savior, so that Huashanjun owed him a favor. Therefore, although the soldiers and horses are ready, they have been only waiting and seeing.
Of course, it was precisely because he had to wait and see, so he sent a lot of spies to inquire about the situation. As a result, the news that Murong Chui retreated to Nanling Pass and went to attack Luoyang City soon came back.
"General, when will the soldiers and horses not come out at this time? If it is a long time lapse, I am afraid that Luoyang City will really be taken by Murong Chui! After Xi Chao heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really playing with fire ~ self-immolation. However, he only thought about it in his heart, and as soon as he heard the news, he immediately persuaded him to join the army.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Li Xin is amazing! I didn't care about Nanling Pass and Kip Shi Pass, but instead the soldiers went out to Yiguan and Wanzi City, cutting off Murong Chui's back road, so that he had to retreat! After that, the order was passed down, and Huan Yun led an army of 20,000 to quickly go north to relieve the siege of Luoyang. Huan Wen also regretted it a little in his heart, but he refused to admit his mistake, and after hearing this at this time, he said.
Huan Yun is his younger brother, and he is also a very capable person, if he is asked to lead the troops, Huan Wen is still very relieved. With 20,000 troops here, it will be no problem to break the siege of Luoyang. Now the problem is speed and time, if you go late, I'm afraid there will be a big battle to fight.
"My subordinates are going to give orders!" Xi Chao hurriedly responded.
The army set out from Gangneung and passed through the road of Kuiwen Pass and Luhun Pass, which was relatively close. If you go in time, it shouldn't be too long. However, no matter how fast it is, it will take seven or eight days!
But for the rescue of Luoyang City, the real speed of the march is not the most important, the most important thing is this news.
The speed of the news transmission was much faster than the speed of the army, and under the transmission of the fast horse, the Huan Yun army had only set off for two days, and the relevant news had already been sent to Murong Chui.
"As expected, Huan Wen's side has already sent soldiers and horses to rescue Luoyang City! There is not much time left for us, if we can't take Luoyang City before the Jin army arrives, what are the consequences waiting for us, you should all understand, right? In the military tent outside Luoyang City, Murong Chui said to the generals.
The consequences are obvious, this way to fight, tossing enough, the result is no result, the loss is not small. If you go back with such an achievement, it's no wonder that the emperor doesn't cut all these people himself!
"General, let's go back and personally lead the army to attack the city. Luoyang City will definitely be taken down as soon as possible! It was a matter of life and death, and the generals did not dare to delay, and responded in unison.
"It's good to understand! Let's not relax in the siege here, besides, I have already sent someone to cross the river to meet the king of Taiyuan. If we can get his support, and besides, let's take Luoyang City before the Jin army reinforcements arrive! Then, we will have reinforcements in the near future. Seeing that the generals understood the seriousness, Murong Chui nodded and said.
Murong Ke returned from Qingzhou, received the edict halfway, and went directly across the river to the west, and just arrived in Yi County yesterday. Originally, he didn't have such a speed, there was no way, and he heard the news of the Huashan Army attacking Yixian on the road, so he had to speed up and advance.
As soon as he arrived in Yi County, he immediately organized people to strengthen his vigilance! At the same time, in his capacity as the king of Taiyuan, he mobilized a group of soldiers and horses from the surrounding counties and stationed them around Yi County, so as to guard against the Huashan army in the west and north.
The other is to send a messenger to see Murong Chui, which is basically equivalent to sending an order to him and taking over his power of soldiers and horses. After all, Murong Ke was the general appointed by Murong Jun to lead the various men and horses who fought against the Huashan Army.
"If we can get reinforcements, even if the reinforcements from the Jin army arrive, we don't have to worry. As long as we hold Luoyang City, we will at least not be held accountable for this action! Hearing the news, the generals couldn't help but be happy.
Murong Ke's status in the Yan army is not ordinary, which is related to his usual style of doing ~ things, and it is also related to Murong Ke's own rare defeats in battles. Thinking that the rear has stabilized, and their side can be said to be worry-free, everyone is naturally relieved.
"Go ahead! This time, let's come to a false way to destroy the city and take Luoyang City! Murong said lightly.
From this moment on, Mao Muzhi and others in Luoyang City found that the Yan army outside the city was attacking more fiercely. Originally, they were a little stretched in defense, but in the face of the opponent's crazy attack at this time, they couldn't defend well.
In the afternoon of the same day, a gap was opened at the south gate of Luoyang City, and the Yan army killed from there. A rout, and suddenly all the defending Jin troops were affected. The Jin army on the entire defense line panicked, and many people directly abandoned their defenses and ran in the direction of the city.
As a result, the entire southern city defense was opened, and the Yan army poured into the city like a tide. As soon as the south gate was defeated, not to mention the east and north gates, they were soon implicated and retreated.
Although the three of Mao Muzhi tried their best to save it, they were powerless at this time. They had no choice but to collect the defeated soldiers, gather them together, and then retreat to Kim Yong City to hold on to the city.
This time, Murong Chui attacked Luoyang City, using the method of encircling three and missing one. On the one hand, it is because their troops are not particularly large, and on the other hand, Murong Chui's main purpose is to occupy Luoyang City, so he does not intend to fight to the death with the Jin army in the city.
And if the three city gates are blocked and only one city gate is left, the fighting spirit of the Jin army in the city can be broken. However, it was Simon who he left, and there was a little thought in it.
After all, everyone knew that if they came out of the west gate, there were Yan troops on both the north and south, so they could only go to the west. And what is the place to the west, it is Bishan. After the Bishan is the Yellow River, and the opposite side of the Yellow River is the territory of the Yan army.
This is equivalent to forcing Mao Muzhi and them to a dead end in the end, but for the soldiers and horses in the city, it is much better than completely blocking them. But Mao Muzhi and the others did not escape from the city, but ran to Jin Yong City in the northwest corner of Luoyang City.
The city is a small city, but it is very strong. This was originally built by Emperor Wei Ming, and later during the Western Jin Dynasty, many deposed emperors, princes and concubines were placed here.
Later, Luoyang City was relatively dilapidated because of the continuous wars. And this fortified city of Kim Yong City became an important place to capture and defend, and the last time Huan Wen recaptured Luoyang, it was also garrisoned here.
"Defeated, we're still defeated! This time, I have experienced what it means to have cold lips and teeth! After retreating to Kim Yong City, Dai Shi couldn't help but sigh.
The matter of the destruction of the false way happened in the Spring and Autumn Period, but there is also a very famous idiom in this matter, which is called the cold lips and teeth! This means that if there is a problem with one of the two things that are adjacent to each other, then the other will also be greatly affected.
Dai Shi compared it with his relationship with the Huashan Army, and his side didn't care about the Huashan Army being attacked, but in the end it hurt himself.
Jin Xiangong used this strategy to destroy the two small vassal states of Yu and Yu, although Murong Chui did not eliminate the Huashan army, but he successfully took Luoyang City, which can be regarded as achieving his goal.
