Chapter 1013: The Triumphant Division
Liang Xiao was overjoyed, waiting for the rolling dark clouds, the sudden lightning flashed like a silver snake, and the thunder rolled up, he wore a robe, and led all the soldiers to the construction site, he shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, ready, ready to rip off this embankment, quick!" β
Saying that, on the other side, Wu Yue also hurried over with people, he walked in the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, at this time, the rain had fallen majestically, hitting his face, he was ruddy, wiped his face, and said: "Liang Dudu, can you start?" β
"There's no better time than now." Liang Xiao smiled, and Wu Yue will be united: "After a few hours, I will teach this Luoyang City to become a Ze country, and in a few days, you can enter Luoyang. β
"yes." Wu Yue nodded and whispered an order to the soldiers behind him.
Chu Yue's soldiers, under the urging of the military attachΓ©, carried whips and began to urge the people to work, and one of the people rolled in the mud and shouted: "My family is downstream, my family is downstream, military master, this embankment can't be picked, once it is picked, the villain ...... Villain ......"
The Chu soldiers who urged him showed hesitation on their faces, after all, people's hearts are long, Chu Yue was originally in the south, where the water network was dense and the river was overflowing, they had not seen it, and the losses they suffered were still fresh in their memories.
The soldier was stunned on the spot, and he was at a loss.
A military attache behind him kicked the soldier and said sharply, "What are you doing in a daze?" β
The soldier rolled in the mud, unkempt.
At the same time, the military attache came to the man with a cold face and sneered: "This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor, who dares to disobey?" You are so bold, today's downstream, don't say that there are your relatives, even the king of heaven is here, and you have to drown. β
As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, and the sword slashed down, and the man's head immediately rolled down into the mud.
When the others saw it, they were all silent, and countless people's faces were miserable, and then someone shouted: "Start construction, whoever dares to be lazy will be the fate of this person." β
Under the urging, countless people walked naked and barefoot, stepping in the mud, towards the mouth of the river embankment.
There were also people who had prepared gunpowder wrapped in oilcloth and buried it in the designated embankment, but they wanted to light it several times, but they found that the lead was so damp that there was nothing to be done.
But later, there were still people who kept urging, and as a last resort, they had to try again and again.
Wu Yue is actually not in a hurry, anyway, there is time, and it will be good if the rain will fall for a while, he is wearing a robe, standing on the hill and looking out, looking at the world watered by the rain in the distance, as well as the Luoyang City that was washed by the rain, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "To tell the truth, as soon as this water rushes down, these people are afraid that there will be no one in ten, which is really a bit cruel." β
Liang Xiao had a cold face, his hooked nose had been soaked by the rain, the rain dripped down the tip of his nose, and he pressed the knife on his waist: "Blame, only blame that Chen Kaizhi, if it weren't for his indiscretion, if he was still in Luoyang, how could there be such an end, the catastrophe of hundreds of thousands of people had to be counted on him, a person who was unable to protect himself and delusionally thought about the so-called righteousness, not only died himself, but also affected thousands of people, and we just took advantage of the void." β
Wu Yue frowned: "But I heard that there is no news from the Hu people at all, right?" It stands to reason that they should be in a hurry to contact us at this time, only in this way can they take the opportunity to blackmail us, especially before we take Luoyang, otherwise, when we completely occupy the Chen land and gain a firm foothold, it will be too late for them to want to go straight in. β
Liang Xiao had a gloomy face: "What do you mean?" β
Wu Yue said: "In the past few days, my eyelids have been jumping, I am wondering if the Hu people have deliberately spread the news, but in fact it ......"
"What do you mean...... Is Chen Jun still there? β
"In fact, we have also been sending secret sentries to investigate outside the customs, but there is no news from these secret sentry posts so far, as if they have sunk into the sea."
Liang Xiao laughed: "Then let me ask you, can 100,000 Chen troops resist hundreds of thousands of Hu people's iron horses?" What do they use to resist, really with firearms? No matter how powerful firearms are, there is a limit after all, not to mention, his new army, which has not been built for a long time, is just a group of recruits, Brother Wu, don't worry, if you are not sure, how can we ......"
"Governor...... Governor ......"
At this time, someone ran madly in the mud.
Liang Xiao frowned, and couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
But I saw a captain coming in a hurry, he braved the rain, but he ran very quickly, his feet slipped, he fell, but he quickly turned over, and he shouted: "Governor, Governor...... Exploring the Malay Newspaper, Exploring the Malay Newspaper...... Five miles away, the traces of the thief army were found, and the governor ...... An army of thieves is coming here......"
Wu Yue and Liang Xiao subconsciously glanced at each other, looking at each other, both suspicious.
At this point in time, how could there be a military horse attacking.
It's just a joke.
But...... Recently, there are many nearby Chen people and some nearby stragglers will organize to resist, occasionally, the Chu army and the Vietnamese army will encounter some attacks, this is almost the norm, with the Chu army and the Vietnamese army sweeping the vicinity, now such stragglers, there are fewer and fewer.
But even if someone is coming, why are they so afraid?
The man had rushed all the way to the hill, fell into the puddle of the rain, and gasped for breath.
Liang Xiao smiled and said coldly: "What other clowns who jumped off the beam still dare to come to their deaths?" If they want to die, it is not easy, and Pontus will naturally fulfill them? β
"Yes...... Be...... It's cavalry, it's cavalry......"
Liang Xiao's smile disappeared all at once.
His smiling face stiffened, and apparently, he fell silent.
It's cavalry.
After all, cavalry is expensive, and there are not enough military horses, so it is impossible to do it, and even if there are war horses, it is not easy to feed, not to mention, it is very easy to expose yourself.
If it is a formed cavalry, then the only possibility is that this is a military horse outside Dachen Gyeonggi, and the scale is not small.
Wu Yue had already gasped, his eyes widened, his eyes were bloodshot, and then, he grabbed the wet shirt of the captain, and shouted angrily: "Where will there be cavalry here, how many people and horses are there?" β
