Chapter 283: No Return

Seeing that the rebels on the battlefield were all like wolves and tigers, the Luoyang soldiers who had just arrived all changed color. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Aocang is built along the river, on one side is the wharf, used to receive grain from all over the Kanto, the whole city is slightly lower, the Chu army and the rebels fought fiercely outside the city, and the army brought by Han Ruzi is slightly higher, just able to overlook the whole battlefield.

When the two armies are fighting, they will try their best to seize the high ground, but the two armies outside Aocang City have abandoned the high and low, obviously this is an unexpected battle, Han Ruzi can imagine, after Chai Yue led the army to arrive, he must have found that the rebels were ready to set fire to the city, and had to attack immediately.

"Array!" Han Ruzi ordered loudly.

The Luoyang army began to arrange the formation in a panic, and the southern and northern armies and the Hangu Pass army stood behind and pressed the formation.

"Your Majesty, this time I really want to advise: the soldiers are tired, the enemy army is overwhelming, this battle is not easy to fight, it is better to wait a little longer." The king of the East China Sea must be persuaded that if the emperor participates in the war, he can only follow, and this battle does not have much chance of winning no matter how you look at it.

Shangguan Sheng's Su Wei rebels were supported, it was also a group of bandits, there were thousands of people, the armor on their bodies was very messy, but they were all wrapped with the same black scarf on their heads, unlike the thieves outside Luoyang City, this group of black-headed bandits was slightly less numerous, but the battle was very orderly, the advance and retreat were well-founded, and the shot was ruthless, after knocking down a Chu army, there must be several knives and guns at the same time, leaving no live mouth.

"If you don't let the world's displaced people return to their hometowns as soon as possible, sooner or later they will become as difficult as the blackheads." Han Ruzi knows best that an army always gets stronger and stronger, and today's rabble may become a brave army after a few battles.

"Don't think about the homeless people yet, we've been discovered." The king of the East Sea stretched out his horsewhip, and the rebels of the Su Guard had the upper hand, and they were even able to divide a force to attack the reinforcements that had not gained a firm foothold.

Han Ruzi turned his head and took a look, his army was indeed too tired, especially those Luoyang soldiers, because they came in a hurry, their armor was not complete, and some of them were even empty-handed, their fighting spirit was almost consumed on the march, if it wasn't for the emperor's personal supervision, they would have turned around and fled a long time ago.

"Dismount!" Han Ruzi ordered, and he was the first to jump to the ground.

The King of the East Sea hesitated for a moment, but could only do so, and reminded in a low voice: "Leave a way back." ”

Han Ruzi ignored him, supervised the generals to dismount and line up, drove the horses to the rear, and the soldiers condescended, waiting for the arrival of the enemy, there were few bows and crossbows in the army, only two or three hundred, Han Ruzi let them shoot at will.

"Do you know the origin of these blackheads?" Han Ruzi asked.

The King of the East Sea hurriedly shook his head, "I haven't even heard of it. Your Majesty, if you don't retreat, I can only carry you away, and I will admit my guilt afterwards. ”

The first to rush was a black-headed army, numbering just over a thousand men, apparently fighting with contempt for the newly arrived reinforcements, and wanting to defeat them in one fell swoop.

From this moment on, it was difficult for anyone's orders to spread throughout the army, and whether to fight or retreat, whether to win or lose depended on the individual choice of each person, each army, and each team.

The Luoyang army had never seen this kind of formation, the formation was obviously retreating, but it was stopped by the last row of soldiers, and it couldn't retreat more.

How did Henan Yin support Cui Taifu to defeat the Qi rebels? Han Ruzi was deeply curious.

The East Sea King said in a smaller voice, "These guys won't last long. ”

"Then you have to insist, at least until Cui Hong arrives."

The king of the East China Sea glanced back, the road was undulating, how could there be the shadow of the Chu army? He groaned lowly, "Even if his own son is in danger here, Cui Hong may not come to the rescue, not to mention that Cui Er is drinking and having a good time in Luoyang City." ”

Han Ruzi ignored him, didn't look back, only stared at the black-headed army that was getting closer and closer, they were all riding horses, and their speed dropped sharply after going uphill.

The experienced soldiers of the Northern and Southern armies scolded the Luoyang soldiers in front of them and ordered them to raise their spears.

The long army and the advantage of the terrain may be able to deal with the horse army.

The black-headed army arrived and collided with the Luoyang army on the front line.

The line of the Chu army was very thin, only three or four platoons, and the southern and northern armies pressed the formation, and at this time they all rushed to the front with guns and fought side by side with the Luoyang soldiers.

The fierce collision between man and horse, knife and gun, roar and shout is not a matter of agility or sharpness of the knife or gun, but of which side has greater strength and stronger will.

Han Ruzi was only a few dozen steps away from the battle line, and everything was close at hand.

This was the first time that the King of the East Sea was so close to the battlefield, he was so frightened that his face was pale, he didn't turn around and run away, it had nothing to do with the emperor, the only reason was that his legs were weak and he couldn't move.

Some of the black-headed troops broke through the thin line of the Chu army, they did not recognize the emperor, but when they saw the banner of the exhibition, they decided that this must be the main general, and rushed towards them waving their weapons.

The emperor's guards were relatively well-equipped, and immediately bent their bows and arrows to prevent the black-headed army from approaching, and thirty guards tightly surrounded the emperor to form the last line of defense.

Han Ruzi did not draw his sword, stood in the circle, his eyes swept over, and the black-headed army who rushed over was not looking, only staring at the entangled front, although the Luoyang soldiers were timid, but under the supervision of the emperor and the hijacking of the southern and northern armies, there was no sign of retreat.

He glanced into the distance again and said to the King of the East China Sea, "Well, Chai Yue is back. ”

The king of the East China Sea was stunned, his eyes were fixed on a black-headed army rushing on horseback, that person was like a thin circle of Fan Bangshan, his body was also covered with blood, his expression was even more vicious, he was hit by two arrows in the shoulder, but he didn't care, holding a big knife in his hand, he continued to rush, and he was about to break into the circle.

The King of the East Sea felt that he could smell the bloody breath of this person.

Another arrow was struck, and the black-headed soldier finally fell from his horse.

The king of the East China Sea looked up blankly, and a part of the Chu army outside Aocang City came back to the rescue, and they recognized the emperor's banner.

The lone Blackheads were scattered, leaving behind corpses, miscalculating the resilience of the reinforcements, believing that they could do more with less, only to be caught between two sides.

Chai Yue rushed to the emperor, he did not join the battle, but he commanded the battle very close to the battlefield, and as soon as he found an abnormality in the rear, he immediately brought troops to rescue, for him, the emperor was much more important than Ao Cang.

"Your Majesty......" Chai Yue jumped off the horse, and as soon as he said two words, Han Ruzi raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more, and then said: "Cui Hong's army will arrive soon, please General Chai to establish a front here, and you can't retreat." ”

"Yes." Chai Yue quickly ordered the formation to be rearranged, the infantry army was lined up, the cavalry guarded both sides, and a passage was left in the middle for the retreating Chu army to pass through, giving them room to maneuver.

The so-called defeat was like a mountain, and the Chu army, which was fighting the rebels outside the city of Aocang, could not distinguish the difference between retreating and rescuing and being defeated, and found that General Chai had retreated, and they thought that the general trend had gone and began to disperse.

Han Ruzi got on his horse and stood guard on the side of the road, letting the guards shout "Your Majesty is here" to the galloping Chu army.

The rout was halted, and after discovering that the Emperor had really arrived, most of the soldiers turned around and regrouped, ready to fight again.

The Su Guard rebels and the Blackhead Army followed, and the Chu army front had not yet been fully formed, and the two sides fought again.

The rebels killed a lot of palace people in the capital, and they had long since lost the idea of being pardoned, and they were very brave in the battle, and when they saw the emperor's banner from afar, they were not only not afraid, but they were more courageous, and the black-headed army was even more desperate, and they heard that the Emperor of Great Chu was nearby, and their morale was getting higher and higher.

"Kill the Puppet Emperor!" The arrogant shouts were heard clearly, and the rebels and blackheads recognized another emperor.

Chai Yue came on horseback, and Han Ruzi waved to him, ordering him to return to his original position and continue to command, and not to meddle in his affairs.

Every time the retreating Chu army gathered a batch, Han Ruzi threw them into the battlefield, and it didn't take long for him to have no soldiers available.

Chai Yue is an excellent general, but at this time, he has no other way than to carry it hard, but to remind the soldiers around him over and over again: Your Majesty is behind him, and the main force of the Chu army will soon come to support.

The emperor is indeed the biggest motivation for this Chu army to be able to hold on.

The battle was stalemate, and the Chu army was few after all, so it was forced to retreat step by step.

"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, we will be under siege." The king of the East China Sea was not as scared as he was at the beginning, but he saw it more clearly, the rebels of the Su Guard were mainly attacking the two wings, and if they continued to fight like this, sooner or later the emperor and the entire Chu army would be surrounded.

Han Ruzi was also very anxious in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent, stared at the battle line, and sent a few guards to the rear to check how far Cui Hong's army was.

He believed that Cui Hong would come, because Cui Hong's messenger had never been broken, so Han Ruzi was able to get the news and know that Cui Hong was also chasing the emperor non-stop, and it was not far away.

The Chu army only needs to hold on for a while before it can turn defeat into victory.

Shangguan Sheng has been indulged for too long, and Han Ruzi hopes that he can be eliminated today to get rid of future troubles. The exiles all over the world, the Xiongnu in the north, the possible strong enemies in the west, the bandits in the south, the ministers who do nothing, and the contradictions hidden in the palace...... He still has too many important things to work out that need to be resolved.

Noon has passed, Cui Hong's army is nowhere to be seen, the more the two armies fight, the more chaotic the two armies become, Chai Yue tried to persuade the emperor to retreat three times, but was pushed back by Han Ruzi, if he moves, the Chu army in front will be defeated, and when the time comes, it is difficult to say whether he can escape from the enemy.

There was a sudden confusion among the enemy forces attacking head-on, as if they were being attacked in the rear.

Han Ruzi had already retreated to the top of the slope and couldn't see the situation on the other side, so Chai Yue sent someone to deliver a message: Aocang City sent troops to participate in the battle and was harassing behind the enemy.

Both sides did their best in this battle, except for a hundred guards and guards in the hands of the emperor, there was not a single soldier, Shangguan Sheng also sent all his troops, killing or capturing the emperor, it would be a big victory for him that was enough to turn the tide.

This attack on Aocang City was just right, there were very few troops in the city, only less than a thousand people, it was still difficult to defend the city, let alone attack, but Shangguan Sheng was eager to win, ignoring the rear, there were not many soldiers left around, and the Aocang army saw the opportunity, and it was he who attacked.

Chai Yue kept sending people to bring news that Shangguan Sheng was not as calm as the emperor, and as soon as he found out that he was attacked, he immediately called back the soldiers on the front line, which led to a wider chaos: the rebels also could not distinguish the difference between retreat and rout, but no one could regroup them.

But more people did not receive Shangguan Sheng's order to retreat at all, and they still insisted on fighting, but the pressure on the Chu army was slightly reduced, and they could hold on for a little longer.

The king of the East China Sea had long since stopped paying attention to the battle on the front line, turned his horse's head, kept staring at the official road in the rear, and finally shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements!" Reinforcements have arrived! ”

The king of the East China Sea cried with joy, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, Cui Hong was so active in saving his son-in-law, he had never cared so much about his nephew. (To be continued.) )
