Chapter 172: Soldiers are in Luoshui
Although Han Zhao is arrogant, it also depends on who he is right against, if it is the Wei army, Han Zhao naturally has to hide behind, and the vanguard of attacking the royal Luoyang, Han Zhao is squeezing his scalp and grabbing it, so Han Zhao led the army on the road with high spirits.

However, although Han Zhao didn't take the royal family seriously in his heart, but the reason for the speed of the soldiers, the monarch's father repeatedly explained and explained, so on the third day after the order, the day after Liu Qiu sent the news, the 20,000 troops hurriedly left the north gate of Zhengdu, and the light army was simple, and the army did not even bring grain and grass.
On the second day after Zhou Bian arrived in Gongyi, 20,000 Korean troops walked west of Chenggao, flying flags and winding for several miles. Since ancient times, there are three roads from Zhengdu to Luoyang, the north road is out of Zhengdu to the north, through Huayang, Shiqiu, and then through the mountainous area of Chenggao is Gongyi, the middle road is out of Zhengdu to the west, through the new city, Yangcheng, to the negative millet will turn to the north, through the Xuanyuan Pass is the Wu family, the north of the Wu family is Cheng Zhou, and the front section of the south road is the same as the middle road, but after the negative millet continues to the west, take the Songshan ancient road, through the Lun family to the new city, and then to the north through the Yi Rong Pass is Luoyang. The first two roads and the latter sections of these three roads are difficult to walk after all, either lofty mountains or dangerous fortresses, so ordinary merchants and ordinary people will not take these two, and they all take the south road like Liu's uncle and nephew.
Of course, at this time, Han Zhao's army would not take the Songshan Ancient Road, but chose the North Road, not only to avoid detours, but most importantly, it was Han Zhao who insisted on supporting Gongziban to occupy Gongyi, but he didn't think that he would be taken away by the royal family after all, so Han Zhao, who was holding his breath, naturally set the first goal of the army in Gongyi. In addition, the grain and grass in Gongyi are also coveted by Han Zhao, you must know that in order to hurry, the army only brought three days of grain and grass, which was enough to reach Gongyi.
Although it is not a strong army in the world, the speed of the Korean army's fierce march is also considerable, and the first night of the army rested outside Shiqiu City, which inevitably alarmed the spies of the royal family, rushed desperately, and handed back the information overnight. As soon as the army set off the next day, it didn't take long for the army to pass Chenggao, which was the Tiger Prison Pass built by the Marquis of Jin to suppress Zheng Guo, tightly pinching Zheng Du, but although the Xiongguan in the past was vaguely there, the soldiers stationed were Han soldiers.
Not long after Chenggao, you can see Luoshui from a distance, looking at the 20,000 army rolling like an iron stream, Han Zhao's heart also fluttered, leading the army into Luoyang, I will be the first person in history. Although the city of Luoyang is tall, but the weak royal soldier Han Zhao really didn't take it to heart, even the royal scouts who flashed all the way, Han Zhao didn't order his men to shoot them, Han Zhao was not prepared to hide his whereabouts here, even if the royal family knew the whereabouts of the Han army, Han Zhao believed that in the face of absolute strength, nothing was useless. This great achievement, which is bound to go down in history, is bound to be won.
After noon, the army arrived at the south bank of Luoshui, not far from the opposite side of the river is Gongyi, the terrain here Han Zhao is too familiar, he has passed by here many times before, so Han Zhao set the march route here, but now it is different from the past, there is no longer a Gongyi people on the other side of the river, and if you want to cross the Luoshui of hundreds of zhang, Han soldiers can only rely on themselves. So the whole afternoon was spent in the raft of chopping wood.
At night, the Korean army was encamped in the south of Luoshui, and the unscrupulous camp was lit up with bonfires, and like the commander, almost every Korean soldier regarded it as an easy task, unaware that in the grass on the north bank of Luoshui, there were dozens of pairs of sharp eyes hidden.
After observing for a long time, Zhou Bian waved his hand, and dozens of people quietly retreated. After all, Zhou Bian still suppressed his desire to attack at night, since he was ready, he would better wait for tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, when the morning sun of late spring and early summer sprinkled the first rays of light of the day on the earth, the Korean military camp was already busy. The well-trained Korean soldiers put away the camp tents in an orderly manner and prepared breakfast. After the smoke was over, a group of vanguard soldiers set up a pontoon bridge, and the Korean army did not worry about whether the royal soldiers on the other side would suddenly attack, which was extremely easy, and soon the Korean army began to step on the pontoon bridge one by one and ascended to the north bank.
I was worried that the soldiers of Gongyi would come to block it, but the hundreds of Korean soldiers who went ashore first also formed a nervous formation, and the soldiers who never thought that the soldiers on the shore were already two thousand, not to mention the soldiers of Gongyi, even if they didn't see a single figure, the Han soldiers finally relaxed, and stood loosely together.
Finally, there are more than 4,000 Korean soldiers who crossed the river, and Han Zhao, who is still on the south bank, is also relieved, this will be that there are royal soldiers who are not afraid, and I don't know if the royal family is big or scared away, there have already been scouts, knowing that they will come, but they are still crossed by the Korean army over 4,000, isn't this the rhythm of missing the opportunity? Gongyi is already halfway there.
Looking at the sun that had risen to the sky, Han Zhao couldn't help wiping his sweat, it was early summer, and his heavy armor was still a little hot.
I didn't want to be at this time, but I heard the Han soldiers on the north bank making a noise, Han Zhao hurriedly looked at it, it turned out that the dust was raised in the direction of Gongyi on the other side, and the Gongyi soldiers finally appeared!
But then Han Zhao smiled, the posture of the enemy soldiers was never more than a thousand, and he heard that there were still people on one of the other party's chariots shouting loudly, but Han Zhao didn't take it to heart at all, but with a wave of his hand, the herald who knew the master's meaning immediately rushed to the north bank, and the ordinary Han soldiers who crossed the river gave way.
After a while, the four thousand Han soldiers who had been unable to bear it could not bear it swarmed to the north, and hundreds of Han soldiers chased more than two thousand Luoyang soldiers to flee as if they were desperate, and now this thousand weak Gongyi soldiers are not playing with killing, so the Han soldiers are screaming one by one, waving the weapons in their hands, and rushing to kill them.
And the Gongyi soldiers really did not live up to the expectations of the Han soldiers, and when they saw the Han soldiers rushing towards them, all the soldiers turned around and ran back, and several officers couldn't stop drinking, and they also ran away with a fierce fire. At this time, the Han soldiers chased more actively, both sides were the main force of infantry, and the speed of running was not much different, one ran and one chase, and in the blink of an eye, the two armies ran through two miles.
Han Jun chased after Han Zhao was expected by Han Zhao, Gongyi, maybe it would be so easy to succeed, Han Zhao thought so.
Seeing that the Gongyi city was already in sight, but after the Gongyi soldiers who fled in front ran over a small hillside, the four thousand Han soldiers who chased after them suddenly found that a phalanx had appeared behind the hillside, yes, it was the phalanx of the Wang Division's army, quietly, it had been hidden behind the hillside, just waiting for the Han army to chase after it.
The neat phalanx was quietly lined up there, with big shields and spears in the front row, and it was impossible to see what it was in the back.
Ambush, this is an ambush, the word flashed in the hearts of all the Han soldiers.
So a very small number of timid Han soldiers hesitated, slowed down their pace, thinking about whether to wait for the commander's further order to see if they wanted to kill the past, but the Han soldiers were still much more courageous after all, and after letting go of those fleeing Gongyi soldiers, they pursued and killed, and the speed did not decrease, rushing towards the big array, perhaps, a charge, just a charge can crush it, the howling Han soldiers thought.
It's close, it's finally close, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps, the faces of the royal soldiers can be seen clearly, they are all so young, some of the shields are already trembling, and the Han soldiers who rushed to the front believe that their eyes are not wrong.
However, after all, the opponent's large array did not appear as expected by the Korean soldiers, but instead buzzed, endlessly, and the veterans of the perennial war immediately heard that this was the sound of many big bows pulled up at the same time, so some of the Korean soldiers slowed down, after all, the pursuit was in a hurry, none of the Korean soldiers brought a shield, and in order to attack the city, there was not a single heavy infantry in the 20,000 army, and all the Korean soldiers who came to attack were wearing light armor.
However, there are still many Korean soldiers who are not afraid of death, but they have accelerated their pace.
But how can the speed of a person be faster than the speed of releasing an arrow, a boom sounded, it was the sound of thousands of big bows releasing the bowstring at the same time, and the Han soldiers only felt a shock in their ears, and a black cloud suddenly appeared in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, the black cloud rushed down, whether it was an arrow, or a sharp copper arrowhead, flashing with black light, the pupils of the veterans contracted sharply, this kind of volley, I'm afraid only the Wei army has it. The speed of the arrows was so fast that as soon as the veterans raised their hands covered their heads, the black clouds pressed down.
Puff puff, with a huge inertia of the arrow, smashed down. It was the sound of arrows breaking through the wind, and at this moment, all the Korean soldiers felt timid, no matter how fierce the soldiers, they all slowed down. However, in front of the sharp arrows, the leather armor of the Han soldiers was like rags, and the arrows drilled into the flesh of the Han soldiers without hindrance, and suddenly the wails were endless.
As soon as the arrows fell, more than 1,000 of the 4,000 Korean soldiers who had all entered the range were hit by arrows, and the powerful arrows instantly took the lives of 300 Korean soldiers, and 500 Korean soldiers lost their combat effectiveness. The remaining Han soldiers found that the salvo of the royal army was still much worse than that of the Wei army, and it could not cover the entire battlefield, so more than 3,000 Han soldiers were stimulated by the blood, and continued to rush forward with a shout.
However, how could there be only one arrow of the royal family, as soon as the sound of the Han soldiers fell, the second wave of arrows was shot, this time the Korean soldiers were not as dense as just now, but they made the six hundred Korean soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.
At this time, the distance between the two armies was closer, and there were only thirty paces left, and the royal army, which had adjusted the angle of archery, shot another number of arrows, and under the anxious shouts of the commanders, they put away their big bows and carried them behind their backs, and picked up the spears on the ground on the side.
The three salvos made nearly half of the Korean soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, and except for a very small number of people who turned around and fled, there were as many as 2,000 Korean soldiers who rushed towards the large array.
Seeing this Han soldier who was not afraid of death, Zhou Bian also tightened his heartstrings. The power of the bow and arrow has been brought into full play by Wang Shi, the range of the bow and arrow is only eighty paces away, and at the speed of a person running with all his strength, it only takes three volleys to shoot, and the enemy army can rush in front of him. However, the royal army has also been trained for a long time, and one of the daily training is how to quickly put away the bow and arrow, and then hold the spear. There is no way, there are so many people, they can only be archers and spearmen again, and almost all the royal soldiers are trained to be all-rounders.
But the recruits who came to the first time in the big battle were still very nervous, although they skillfully raised their spears, but their hands were still shaking, and the Korean soldiers were really fatal when they started fighting, and in the eyes of many recruits, it was good to be able to pull the big bow three times.
But fortunately, the one at the front was the 500 Imperial Forest Army brought out by Zhou Bian this time, and it was also the only 500 veterans in the 4,000 army, most of whom had seen blood, so the formation was not chaotic.
The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army held up their large shields, and the layers of spears stretched forward, like a hedgehog, to meet the Korean army. The soldiers behind the spears held their breath and resisted the spears, and they would meet the first impact of the Korean army, so they naturally had to hold on to it.
Closer, the Han army is getting closer and closer, and in the remaining twenty or so steps, all the Luoyang soldiers feel their heartbeat, and even the two tall figures at the forefront of the team, Liu Yun and Wang Sunjian, the two killing gods, couldn't help but tighten and loosen the hands holding the spear, and then tighten again, in order to relieve the tension in their hearts.
Burying the big array, and then ordering the Gongyi soldiers to lead the Korean army over, is one of Zhou Bian's plans, and now the plan has been successfully implemented to the first step, but the most important thing is whether his 4,000 army can withstand the charge of the Korean army, if not, then the plan behind it will not be implemented.
Standing at the back of the big array, Zhou Bian also felt the pressure brought by the Han army, and looked at it, there were many recruits in his battle formation whose bodies were shaking, and the slight tremor was not visible from a distance, but the long spear magnified this tremor, which was particularly dazzling, and it seemed that it was only the usual strict discipline training that made this army not turn around and escape. But this is not the effect that Zhou Bian wants.
So Zhou Bian pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted, "Soldiers, hold on, this king will be with you!" ā
