Chapter 634: Yongzhou Qingzhi Jiangbei Luotu

Outside the city of Yongzhou, more than 1,600 Yongzhou soldiers were devoured by tigers, leopards and jackals driven by the Su people, who had just tasted the joy of victory not long ago, and had just begun to show pride, but in an instant, the fangs of the beasts tore their bodies and souls to pieces.

This is a huge army of beasts, it is impossible to count the number, Xu Qingzhi, who finally retreated to Yongzhou City, went straight to the city wall after entering the gate, and looked outside with clairvoyance, at this time the men and horses under his command were completely submerged, and he couldn't even see the flag. In the boiling of the beasts, you can faintly see the corpses that have been run up from time to time, mutilated.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the hand holding the clairvoyant was trembling.

At the back of the beast army, at least two hundred elephants walked side by side, and these elephants were like commanders of the beast army, and the beasts were driven forward by them. And the man sitting on the elephant with his horn hanging is the brain of the commander.

"...... decades ago"

Luo Qiu, the governor of Pingshangdao, who was standing beside Xu Qingzhi, sighed: "After the Great Sui Southern Expedition defeated the Shang army, it drove straight in, and also encountered the beast army controlled by the Su people. It was the largest but most memorable loss since the Great Sui army marched south, and at least 10,000 soldiers were killed...... Thirty years have passed, and I have almost forgotten that the Suren still have such methods. ”

Xu Qingzhi put down his clairvoyance and shook his head: "But we don't have the troops at that time now." ”

As a general, he naturally knows that history very well. At that time, the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Great Sui Dynasty was full of morale, and after defeating the main force of the Shang State on the bank of the Yangtze River, it encountered almost no resistance. In that case, the beast army of the Su people gave the Sui army a blow to the head.

At least 10,000 elite soldiers were devoured by wild beasts and suffered heavy losses.

Later, he relied on a huge array of arrows, a rain of fire and powerful ballistas to disrupt the army of beasts, and pushed the chariots dressed as monsters forward, frightening the beasts to retreat again and again. But in that war, more than 40,000 arrows were used, and more than 80,000 troops were invested. He also built a large number of chariots, and prepared them for a full month to completely defeat the Suren.

But now, there are barely more than 10,000 archers in Yongzhou City, and the quality cannot be compared with the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Great Sui at that time.

Fortunately, now they are defending the city and the people are attacking it. No matter how strong the beast army is, it is impossible to climb the tall Yongzhou City.

"Don't go out of the city to fight again."

Although he didn't know anything about military affairs, Luo Qiu also knew that in front of a perverted army like the Su people, the Yongzhou soldiers had no chance of winning. Now the total strength of Yongzhou soldiers is more than 20,000 people, and it is not overstretched to defend the city. But once you go out of the city to fight, these 20,000 people are meaningless.

"I'm worried about ......"

Xu Qingzhi said with some amazement: "After a long period of sleepiness, the morale of the soldiers will be low. Originally, this night attack out of the city returned with a great victory, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was stimulated. I didn't expect the follow-up brigade to come so quickly, and it was too late for me to think about it again. ”

He did not put the blame for this defeat on the soldiers, but on himself.

Although the main reason for this defeat was because the county soldiers delayed the execution of his general order too much. Because the county soldiers were greedy for the things on the Su people, Xu Qingzhi urged the team several times in a row before they could barely assemble. But at this time, the soldiers were covered with booty, and the speed of retreat was not fast.

Even so, Xu Qingzhi knew that the fault was actually on himself. For the generals, they should be more courageous at that time, and punish the soldiers who do not carry out the military orders immediately, and the others will not procrastinate in the same way. Again...... The soldiers were already dead, how could he bear to put the blame on the dead?

Moreover, it was a group of dead people who did not even have corpses left behind.

"Wait for reinforcements."

Luo Qiu was silent for a while and said: "The flying pigeon from the north has passed the book, and the Black Flag Army has arrived at Nanhui Road with tens of thousands of elite horsemen, and it is estimated that it will be half a month to Yongzhou at the latest." All he brought with him were cavalry, which was the most suitable for going out of the city to fight. No matter how strong and barbaric the people outside are, they don't need us to have a headache. ”

Xu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

He understood what Luo Qiu meant, Fang Xie brought all the cavalry, and it definitely couldn't be used to defend the city. And Fang Xie did not bring infantry, which also shows that this person has no intention of defending Yongzhou. But there are tens of thousands of beasts outside, what use can the cavalry be even if it is elite?

In front of those fierce beasts, the war horses can only tremble!

"Something......"

Luo Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I've always wanted to discuss with you, but I don't know how to speak...... Originally, I was very relieved that the responsibility of guarding Yongzhou City was handed over to you, after all, you are an old man who has followed me for many years, and I also know your ability. After you led the troops, you worked diligently, and you didn't do anything wrong, and my heart is even more down-to-earth......"

"I understand."

Xu Qingzhi's face changed slightly, and then he smiled, a little bitter: "After General Fang arrives, I will hand over the command." Yongzhou is important, and lowly is not an unreasonable person. ”

Luo Qiu's face was overjoyed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Gentleman, it is you that I value the most. But don't worry, no matter what the final result is, it's yours sooner or later, understand? ”

Xu Qingzhi snorted, and no one saw the green tendons on the back of his clenched fists.

Gangbuk-do

Firefox City

The imperial army has been defeated seven times in a row, the little butcher Luo Xiaotu led the Yong army to attack day by day, the generals in the imperial army are unstoppable, this person is ruthless and unruly, but he has real talent and learning, and his own martial arts are extremely outstanding, and he has become a fierce beast on the battlefield, which makes his enemies fearful.

A while ago, Luo Yao handed over the command of the army to him, and then went to the Pang Ba camp alone. Luo Xiaotu knew what Luo Yao was doing, and now only he and the mysterious General Mo knew about Luo Yao's cultivation in the entire Yong army. Just before Luo Yao left the camp, Luo Xiaotu just thought that King Yong was a nine-rank extreme martial artist, invulnerable, but that's all.

He didn't expect that King Yong's cultivation Luo Yao had reached a height that he couldn't see. That day, Luo Yao just used a few tricks casually, which shocked him. It was at that time that he realized how naïve he had thought he was close to Luo Yao.

On the day when Wan Xingchen was seven hundred miles away from his sword, Luo Yao isolated himself, so the people in the camp didn't know what was going on at that time, and they thought that the light was a strange appearance.

However, it was precisely because Luo Yao showed his strength that he knew that Luo Yao was going to really reuse him.

In the past few days, he has led the army to continuously put pressure on the people of the imperial court, and has forced the imperial army to the north of Firefox City. Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing, the two battle-hardened generals of the imperial court, actually fell behind.

Early in the morning, Luo Xiaotu came out of the camp with a hundred and ten personal soldiers and went directly in the direction of the Sui army camp. He didn't inform the other generals, and this courage alone was rarely matched. By the time the other generals knew, he had already led people through the ruins of Firefox City.

The two armies are separated by about twenty miles, and the north of Firefox City is a horse Pingchuan without danger, because there is a ruin in the middle, and the scouts sent by Luo Xiaotu were ambushed by the Sui army masters who were ambushed in the ruins of Firefox City, so they didn't know much about the situation of the Sui army.

The group did not choose to avoid the ruins of Firefox City, but directly broke in. Luo Xiaotu knew that there must have been many masters in ambush in this ruin, but he didn't care.

Soon after entering the ruins, a cold arrow shot out from the dark and went straight to Luo Xiaotu's front door, Luo Xiaotu waited for the arrow to reach in front of him before raising his hand to catch it, and then casually threw it back and shot the ambushed Sui army scout to death, and the body fell from a broken wall, smashing up a cloud of dust.

All the way north through the ruins, Luo Xiaotu killed at least twenty Sui army scouts who were good at martial arts, including a cultivator of the seventh rank or above.

After passing through the ruins, Luo Xiaotu accelerated his horse, and he went directly to a few hundred meters outside the Sui army camp, just restrained the war horse, and raised his clairvoyance to check the layout of the Sui army camp.

With a buzz, a huge crossbow shot out from the camp, poking at a distance of less than two meters from Luo Xiaotu, and the stirring gravel flew high. The war horses of the soldiers behind Luo Xiaotu were so frightened that they jumped up, but Luo Xiaotu didn't even move, still holding clairvoyance to observe carefully.

This move angered the people in the Sui army camp, and about ten minutes later, a group of about seven or eight hundred cavalry rushed out of the Sui army camp and went straight to Luo Xiaotu's side. The Sui army originally thought that the one hundred and ten people of the Yongjun army would withdraw immediately, but who would have thought that Luo Xiaotu slowly put down the clairvoyance and took off the big lance from the victory hook.

"Kill some people and leave."

He said lightly, and then urged his horse forward. His own soldiers knew the temper of the main general, and they rushed forward with Luo Xiaotu without even persuading him. In the face of an enemy seven or eight times their size, they did not have the slightest fear. And what happened after that made the people in the Sui army camp frightened and angry.

The Yongjun army of one hundred and ten people followed the general in silver armor, and actually cut the cavalry of the Sui army with a charge, and killed it again after holding the war horse, and less than half of the Sui army of seven or eight hundred people remained. The rest of the cavalry did not dare to fight, so they turned around and retreated.

Luo Xiaotu hung up the big lance, let out a disdainful cold snort from his nose, and then raised his clairvoyance to observe again, but he had no intention of withdrawing.

Not long after, there was another chaos in the camp of the Sui army, followed by a general with more than 1,000 cavalry rushed over, Luo Xiaotu picked up the lance again to meet the enemy, and a photo stabbed the Sui general to death, and the Sui cavalry fled.

"Let's go"

After killing and retreating the Sui army twice, Luo Xiaotu seemed to be slightly satisfied. He was about to leave with his people, but another team of about 2,000 people in the Sui army camp rushed out, as if to pursue. Luo Xiaotu scolded a group of flies in a low voice, turned his horse back and killed it for a while, covered with blood all the way, and the Sui army was defeated again without exception.

After killing the Sui army for the third time, Luo Xiaotu picked up a long lance from the ground, and then threw it towards the Sui army camp.

"After the destruction of the Shang, there is no longer a single person in the Sui army who can fight."

Luo Xiaotu was a little disappointed and turned away.

Xu Xiaogong, who had just rushed to hear the news, looked at the young man's back in the distance, and couldn't help but scold wildly. He was just about to order his subordinates to pursue, but was stopped by Liu Enjing.

"Mo Chase, that person came straight through the ruins of Firefox City, which means that the scouts we arranged in the ruins have been pulled out. If you lead the troops to chase them out rashly, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be ambushed. Ineffable...... At this time, the ruins of Firefox City were already full of rebels. ”

Xu Xiaogong stomped his foot heavily, extremely angry.

Outside the city, Luo Xiaotu, who was slowly walking back like a horse walking, shook his head slightly, and seemed to be even more disappointed.

"General, how did you guess that the Sui army would not dare to chase after you?"

Luo Xiaotu was silent for a while, and only replied with two words: "Afraid of death"

"When my father comes back, I should ask him if he can change his name."

He muttered.

The soldiers were surprised and asked, "What name does the general want to change?" ”

"Removed the small characters and changed the name to Luo Tu."

He said.
