If, at the beginning, the Qin messenger who went to Luoyang City to issue the holy decree was decisive, these Xiang troops would still be able to capture Fenglingdu in time, then Cai Dao's strategy would also die halfway.

After all, the owner of Mu Laozhai and his subordinates could not fight, but the number of brothers he brought to Zhongtiao Mountain was very small after all, and he had to send people to make great efforts to maintain order at the north and south ends of the pontoon bridge.

But now, it's too late to say anything. The hungry people had the support of this cavalry unit, although they were not many in number, but in the face of the van army, which had always lacked food and clothing, and was used like cattle,

Enough to cope.

As a result, it only took You Feixiong half an hour to completely scare away the team of van troops who were cowering and advancing.

That's right, this box army was not scattered, but was really intimidated by the other party.

As soon as these old, weak, sick and disabled people saw the shadow of the cavalry troops neatly arranged on the other side, they threw down the weapons in their hands, and immediately turned around and ran, and in an instant, the army of nearly 5,000 people directly dispersed.

Some of the soldiers ran and shouted that the Tanguts were coming, while others shouted that the Khitans were coming.

The two lieutenants were quicker than the others, for they were the only two of them riding horses in the whole army.

Anyway, before these van troops could meet the enemy, they broke the dam by themselves, except for a few unlucky ghosts who broke their feet and became the prisoners of You Feixiong in the process of running, the others only took one-tenth of the time they came, and most of them fled back to Luoyang City.

Of course, there were also smart officers or soldiers among them, who had relatives on the outskirts of Luoyang, so they took off the tattered military skin on their bodies and immediately went to their relatives. They knew that if they were defeated without a fight this time, the trusted prefect Liu Zhi would definitely take people to the knife.

The law does not blame the public, of course, those ordinary soldiers will not be punished, but the officers are miserable, what level of officers are killed, how many officers are killed, and after they go back, their own lives are completely out of their control. Liu Zhi killed them with complete justification, evidence, and moderation, and he would not be soft at all, and even if he was lucky not to be killed by this close prefect, the fatal task was still there.

The two lieutenant generals naturally knew their situation, the reason why they didn't flee was not because they had any support, but because their families were in Luoyang City, once the two of them fled, Liu Cheng really dared to destroy the two of them without asking for an order.

So, the more he thought about it, the more desperate he felt, and he felt that there was really no way to live, so he drew his knife and killed himself.

Another lieutenant general, before arriving at the gate of Luoyang City, has always been lucky, he is a relative of the Han family in Xiangzhou, even if he is questioned by Liu Zhi, but with another lieutenant general carrying the black pot for him, he can escape being killed. After that, at most, he will lose his official position and be exiled for thousands of miles.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Cai Dao, since he appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, the military attaches are no longer afraid of being exiled to the smoky land of Lingnan.

Because of the sea vessels, these exiled criminals were able to reach Lingnan by sea, and they also did not have to travel thousands of mountains and rivers to take office.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the lieutenant general arrived at the city gate, he learned a bad news - the news that the lieutenant general had killed himself, and he was immediately dumbfounded. Now that there is no one to carry the black cauldron, once he returns to the city, it will definitely be a dead end. However, once he discusses Luoyang City, his family will definitely be implicated.

Just when he hesitated, the gate of Luoyang City opened by itself, and Liu Zhi rushed out with the officials from inside, and when he saw this deputy general, without saying a word, he immediately ordered the officials to tie him up and bring him into the city.

The legendary drama of the pro-soldiers desperately rescuing the main general would not have appeared in the military camp in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, although the authority of the military attachés of the Great Song Dynasty was improved to a certain extent after Wang Anshi's reforms, no human rights means no human rights. What's more, these officers in the interior don't care about the non-commissioned officers under them at all.

After that, there was a bloody storm, and there were not many people who were stupid about Liu Zhi, only this relative of the Han family in Xiangzhou had his head cut off and hung on the head of Luoyang City to show the public. As for the low-level officers and ordinary soldiers of the Xiang Army who fled back, they were all rejected by Liu Zhi.

Of course, Liu Zhi took the initiative to open the gate of Luoyang City now, and these people did not dare to enter again. Who knows if this iron-masked prefect will show his life to the public? That's just death.

So, the remaining officers got together and discussed, Fenglingdu was guarded by those cavalry, and if they wanted to complete those two tasks, it was tantamount to a fool's dream, and it would definitely not be completed.

That is, whoever goes will die!

But now, these people, Luoyang City can't go back, not to mention the loss of weapons, and even the seven-day military rations that Liu Zhi finally put together for them have been lost by these rabbit cubs.

The difference between them and their situation at this moment is beyond imagination.

One of the clever officers came up with a good idea, and he persuaded the other officers, saying: The only way to do this is to get enough food and weapons first, and then they will gather the troops sent by Luoyang City and go to the crossing of the Yellow River again. Of course, this time I didn't go to fight, but after I got there, I built a strong camp by the mountain a few zhang away from Fenglingdu.

In addition to being strong, this camp also needs a feature, that is, within the camp, you can see the situation of the Fengling Ferry. In the end, they just need to be able to hold on to each other.

Naturally, the proposal of this small colonel was unanimously approved by the other officers. But how do you get enough food and weapons?

When they broke up before, UU read the weapon .net threw down, You Feixiong They naturally didn't like it, but they were picked up by those hungry people who had been fleeing, as for the food thrown away, You Feixiong They didn't let it go, even if they didn't eat it, they could give it to those hungry people.

It was this little colonel who came up with the idea again, Luoyang City and their army can't go back for the time being, but after all, they are official soldiers, and they can completely deceive the city gates of the counties under Luoyang Mansion, and then, he can rely on his large number of people to grab some weapons and food from the local defenders and the treasury and come back.

As for whether you can deceive the city gate and which city gate to deceive, it is naturally the suggestion given by the small school, and it is naturally the nearest Yiyang County. In fact, the nearest subordinate county to Fenglingdu is Xin'an County, but the news of their defeat must have spread to this county seat. The other party's county order is not a fool, their defeated army will not return to Luoyang at this time, but they will enter Xin'an County, even fools know that there is something wrong with them.

What's more, those cavalry came and went like the wind, and if those cavalry or hungry people were introduced into Xin'an County, this city would probably fall into a situation from which it would never recover.

However, Yiyang County is different, compared to Fenglingdu, it is separated by Xin'an County, so the news of their defeat should not be delivered quickly. If they go at this time, they can completely deceive the city gate before the bad news reaches the county seat.
