Chapter 211: Counterattack
The result of the battle under the city was so obvious that it was extremely shocking for the remaining defenders at the head of the city. They never thought that their family's army would be so vulnerable in front of the Huashan army, and it would completely collapse in a short period of time, just like a chicken and a dog.
When the defenders in the county saw that Lu Polou, Deng Qiang and other generals were captured or surrendered, where did they dare to resist, they didn't need to attack at all, and they didn't even shout, so they obediently opened the city gate and surrendered.
In this way, Li Erhei simply won the county seat of Luoyang and completed his first battle!
"We have now taken the county seat of Luoyang, and we have to hurry up and go south to support the general. While Fu Huangmei hasn't received the news from here yet, we can just catch him off guard! After entering the city, everything was arranged, Li Erhei entered the mansion of Fu Huangmei before, and the two discussed the next move, Peng Lin suggested.
"According to the plan, I will go west to take Xianxin County and Pingxiang County next. The situation on Hu Tian's side is not known for the time being, and there must be someone stationed in this Luoyang County. Therefore, I can't participate in the southward journey. However, your cavalry moves quickly, so I'll leave this matter to you! Li Erhei thought about it for a while, and then said.
"It's okay, you wait here for the follow-up soldiers and horses to come to pick you up, and after I go to Qingshui County to solve the battle over there, if the general has no other orders, I will rush back immediately!" When the time comes, let's go to those two counties together! Peng Lin thought for a while, and said that this is the same reason.
"Very good, go and get back quickly! By the way, bring this Mo Dao team! Fu Huangmei is a siege battle, so they are basically foot soldiers, these three hundred Mo swordsmen, combined with the five hundred Mo swordsmen on the Han and Tang Dynasties, are extremely powerful. Once you are caught on both sides, I don't believe that the yellow eyebrows can stop it! Li Erhei nodded and said again.
After the two discussed it, they immediately went their separate ways, and Li Erhei arranged the defense and let the army seize the time to rest. At the same time, personnel were sent to investigate Hu Tianna's soldiers and horses, as well as the movements of Pingxiang and Xianxin counties.
Peng Lin directly led the cavalry and three hundred Mo swordsmen, and quickly went south, rushing to the north of Qingshui County. At this time, it has been ten days since Li Xin was besieged in Qingshui County. Fortunately, there are a lot of supplies in Qingshui County, which is enough to supply the consumption of the five thousand troops.
In Qingshui City, under the repeated attacks, even the powerful Huashan army was already very tired. However, whenever the soldiers saw the figure of Li Xin, who was standing at the head of the city and had not flinched at all, they seemed to feel that they suddenly had strength again.
"General, this is already the tenth day, and since Fu Qin's reinforcements arrived three days ago, Fu Huangmei's attack has become more and more intense. Their army took turns to fight, so that our soldiers could not rest for a moment, and if this continues, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to support it! Look, are we trying to find a way to attack once, hit each other hard, let them know that they are powerful, so that we may be able to be quiet for two days! Standing at the head of the city, Chen Kang suggested to Li Xin.
"No, our plan is to hold on, and it's not time to attack out of the city yet. I know we're all tired, but there's no way around it. Tell the brothers below that if you hold on for a while longer, and calculate the time, this battle for defending the city is almost over! In the past ten days, he has not been down to the city at all, so the whole person looks a little sloppy, especially his eyes, which are full of bloodshots. However, his mind was still very clear-headed, and he directly rejected his suggestion.
"Yes, then I will arrange for the brothers to take a break every time!" Chen Kang can't help it, he knows that he has to focus on the overall situation. Therefore, since Li Xin disagrees, he will not say more.
These days, at the beginning of the siege, everyone was able to take turns resting. After all, there are a thousand reserves in the army of five thousand.
But when Fu Qin's reinforcements arrived, there was no time left. Each time, only about 100 to 200 men could be removed from the walls, resting for a short half hour, and then immediately going to battle.
Under this style of play, the purpose of Fu Huangmei is obviously partially achieved! But it's a pity that he still underestimated the perseverance of the Huashan army, or rather, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and horses.
"Bastards, a group of waste, more than 10,000 troops, fought for ten whole days, and they couldn't even capture a small Qingshui County! And ye said, What use do I want of you? Outside the city, in the Chinese military tent with Fu Huangmei, he was furious at this time.
Originally, he had the idea of a quick solution, but the longer the time dragged on, the more he felt bad in his heart. Especially when he heard that the Huashan Army in the direction of Longguan had also sent troops, and that Liangzhou Qiuchi and other places had also come together, he felt that there might be a huge conspiracy here.
"Talk? If you stand here one by one and don't say a word, will you be able to knock down Qingshui County? Seeing that the generals below were like logs, Fu Huangmei became even angrier and reprimanded.
"Great King, although we have suffered heavy losses in the past ten days of siege, we have been replenished with reinforcements a few days ago, and now there are still nearly 8,000 soldiers who can fight. Compared to that Li Xinlai, it is far more than that. I look at the soldiers of the Huashan Army, and they are strong in spiritual defense. As long as you attack for another day or two, you shouldn't be able to hold it out! After being scolded, a general finally spoke.
"Exactly, the Huashan Army is not iron-clad, ten days is enough to drag them down. If we can have more troops and attack more fiercely, we will definitely be able to defeat them faster! "Some generals still suspect that there are few soldiers and find reasons for their failures.
"That's right, why don't you send some soldiers and generals to come, and after quickly solving the war here, you can rush back to Luoyang County to preside over the overall situation!" However, many generals echoed this suggestion.
There is a truth in this, because in this era, everyone knows that there is power when there is a soldier, and the soldiers and horses of each general are basically not much different from private soldiers. Therefore, let them leave all their family wealth here, no one is willing!
"I have already written Qinzhou to assassinate Shi Tie, and I will transfer another thousand soldiers and horses from him! Within three days, Qingshui County must be completely taken! Fu Huangmei has no other way, the siege battle has to rely on people to pile up, so he had to say at this time.
"Report, King Qiyu, Li Erhei of the Huashan Army led the army and General Zuo to fight outside Luoyang City, our army was annihilated, and Luoyang City has been lost!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent, and then, riding a fast horse to the front of the tent, someone came to report loudly.
"What? Has the city of Luoyang been lost? This king still has an army of 6,000 in Lüyang, including 2,000 elite cavalry, how can he be defeated so quickly? Fu Huangmei, who was still thinking about retaking Qingshui County, was so shocked that he almost fell off his seat when he heard the news, and said angrily.
"Report, king, smoke and dust are found in the north, and it seems that a large army is coming!" The people below have not yet replied, and there is a report from the Malay outside.
"Let's go, go out and have a look!" Hearing this, Fu Huangmei immediately walked out of the Chinese military tent and climbed the watchtower to look out to the north.
Sure enough, I only saw the northern land, and there was a cloud of smoke and dust, which gradually rushed towards the direction of the camp.
"Fu Yuan, you quickly lead two thousand soldiers and horses and go to investigate. If the enemy attacks, stop them at all costs and buy time for the army to set up! After just one glance, Fu Huangmei secretly said that it was not good, and immediately ordered.
Fu Yuan was defeated by Wang Zheng in the land of Longdong, fled back to Chang'an, and later followed Fu Xiong back to Longdong, and then stayed in Qinzhou. After Fu Qin was driven to Longxi, he was transferred to Fu Huangmei's command to listen to orders.
"The last general obeys!" Hearing the military order, Fu Yuan immediately went into action.
"Quick, quickly pass on the king's general order, from among the soldiers and horses attacking the city from all gates, half of them will be drawn out, and all of them will rush to the north of the camp, and be ready for battle!" Listening to the sound from afar, Fu Huangmei knew that it should be cavalry, so he had to gather more soldiers and horses to resist.
And his change, Li Xin above the city naturally found out immediately.
"General, you see, the enemy seems to have retreated?! And to the north, there is smoke and dust, and it seems that a large group of people and horses are galloping in! The other generals standing at the head of the city naturally saw all this.
"Report, General Qiyu, at the east, west, and south gates, the enemy army has moved. About half of the soldiers and horses retreated back to the camp! "Soon, the generals from all other directions sent people to report!
"Okay, it seems that Li Erhei has already won Luoyang! Tell my brothers, cheer me up and get ready to attack! Our chance has come, as long as we win this battle, we will get through the end! When Li Xin heard this, he immediately showed a hint of joy and immediately ordered.
"Yes, the last general will go down and prepare!" When the generals heard the news, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements.
Soon, the whole army got the news. Knowing that reinforcements arrived, the Huashan troops in the city were suddenly demoralized, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were even more brave!
Originally, those Fu Qin soldiers couldn't attack it, but under this situation, they were even beaten back and retreated, and they couldn't reach the city at all.
Soon, there was a thunderous sound outside the city, and the banner of the Huashan Army appeared in the north of Fu Huangmei's camp. At this time, Fu Huangmei's army had not yet been mobilized, and it was only blocked by Fu Yuan's 2,000 soldiers and horses.
"Rush! Fight to the bottom of Qingshui Castle and join the general! Peng Lin shouted, and rode his horse towards the army of Fu Yuan. The cavalry behind him, like a violent wind passing through, was already in front of Fu Qin's soldiers and horses in the blink of an eye.
