Chapter 22 There is no danger
At this time, Gao Shun's group, not only was Cai Yong, who was tied by him, sitting in the carriage, Han De, who was knocked unconscious by him, was lying on the cart, and the rest of the people were pushing the cart one by one, full of books and grain and grass in the Luoyang Palace, and ran out of the south gate in a mighty way. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Gao Shun thought that he could go to Xuanyuan Pass smoothly, but unfortunately there were chasing men and horses behind him, no need to think about it, it must be the soldier who escaped in front of Cai Yong's mansion, and went back to report to his commander. Although he didn't know why Dong Zhuo took Cai Yong so seriously, as long as he listened to the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, Gao Shun knew that he was afraid of no less than three hundred cavalry.
Gao Shun hurriedly commanded the convoy to quickly leave the city, while he was always in the city, preparing to break off. Seeing a team of cavalry flying horses coming, and when they had formed a charging formation, Gao Shun knew that it was time to delay, but fortunately, everyone had basically gone out of the city gate, Gao Shun immediately asked his subordinates to leave a few carts carrying grain and grass, blocked the city gate, and lit these grain and grass with a fire.
Because Dong Zhuo drove away the people, in fact, the four gates of Luoyang City had already been closed, and only the West Gate had people, who were driven to Chang'an by the Xiliang Army. Therefore, although Gao Shun's men and horses seized the south gate, but only opened a city gate, Gao Shun was on fire, and even the only city gate was blocked by the fire, and the Xiliang cavalry, who was still galloping, had to stand on horseback, watching Gao Shun and others go out of Luoyang City.
However, it was not the same as Gao Shun thought, this pair of men and horses did not seem to be chasing them, because these cavalry saw the fire, and they were not prepared to extinguish him, and they did not open other city gates to pursue, so Gao Shun judged that the target of this group of cavalry was not them. This conjecture was not even confirmed by the time of a cup of tea, because the south gate of Luoyang was burning with a raging fire at this time.
Cai Yong, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at all this indifferently, and couldn't help but feel sad. Luoyang has been the capital of the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, and today it is just dissipated in a fire. This scene seems to be familiar, just like Chang'an more than a hundred years ago, it was burned beyond recognition by a fire from the green forest and red eyebrows. The capital of the dynasty, Tongdu Dayi, has not recovered until now. Yesterday's Chang'an, today's Luoyang, I really don't know, how much luck is left of my big man!
Cai Yong sighed in the carriage, Gao Shun doesn't have this idle time, since there is no Dong Zhuo's pursuers, everyone is still in a hurry. When did you pass the Xuanyuan Pass and enter the territory of Yingchuan, when can you really breathe a sigh of relief. Therefore, Gao Shun's order will always be only two words, "hurry up"! If there is a time when it becomes three words, it is "hurry up".
At this time, the gap between the soldiers and soldiers was reflected, and the Luoyang soldiers and horses who surrendered, to be honest, had nothing else except armor and blades. And the soldiers trapped in the camp, the armor is not the leather armor of the Luoyang army at all, but the real iron armor, the weight can be imagined. In addition to the iron armor, there are horizontal knives, spears, bows and arrows, and the equipment is complete, which makes those Luoyang soldiers breathtaking, and the most terrible thing is that such elite people and horses have been hidden in Luoyang, and no one knows about it at all!
After all, Gao Ye left them here to perform a very difficult mission, but he didn't let them die, and the equipment they should have prepared was naturally not missing. Coupled with the help of Lu Bu and Cai Yong, these five hundred people and horses hid in Luoyang City almost unknowingly.
What surprised the defenders of Luoyang even more was the strong physical strength of these people, even if they carried so many loads, the speed of the march was not slow at all. Even a soldier like himself, who was relatively lightly armed, was a little reluctant to keep up with their march. The most terrifying thing is the leading general, not to mention the good martial arts, the control of the army he shows is enough to prove what a powerful person he is. Otherwise, how would this elite be willing to listen to his dispatch?
The same idea also appeared in Cai Yong's mind, this Gao Shun had never heard of it before, but only after listening to Gao Ye's introduction did he know that this was Gao Ye's retainer, and at the same time had a general understanding of his origin. Gao Ye said that he was the best at training, and when he saw it today, it was really extraordinary. These elite soldiers under his command are really the elite of the elite, not to mention fighting in front of their own mansion, ten people called for more than a hundred, not only did not one of them get hurt, but they also killed dozens of them.
Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army can be regarded as the elite of his subordinates, but compared with these soldiers in front of him, there is still a big gap. However, if Cai Yong knew that Gao Ye spent no less than one million dollars a year for this camp of 1,000 people, maybe he would not be as surprised as he is now.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, even Gao Shun, who was in a hurry, was still intercepted by a group of people. The scout came to report that there was a large cavalry five miles away, and it was estimated that there were no less than a thousand people, and it was Dong Zhuojun's men and horses. Looking at the flag, it is a "Wei" character, but I don't know who the main general is. Gao Shun couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, now he had just crossed Luoshui, it was not very far from Luoyang, and it was surrounded by plains, and there was not even a place to hide. encountered Dong Zhuojun's brigade of cavalry, but I am afraid that it can only be a battle.
Truth be told, there's really nothing better to do at this time. Gao Shun immediately ordered to place the cart on the periphery to block the cavalry charge, and the camp was lined up on the spot to prepare for battle. As for the defenders of Luoyang, they are placed in the center to protect Cai Yong's safety. As for Han De, who had just woken up, at this time, he was knocked unconscious by Gao Shun again. There is no way, in a time of crisis like this, you can't leave such a dangerous factor around.
The formation of the trapped camp was extremely fast, and the carts were all placed on the outermost periphery, which made Cai Yong feel distressed. The cart is full of books! What should I do if I am damaged? But there is nothing he can do, because at this time, Gao Shun will never listen to his orders and protect these books. Besides, Gao Shun is a battle-hardened general, how to fight is his forte, and as a scholar, it is better not to command blindly.
Gao Shun, who had completed the formation, had no other way, and seeing the arrival of the "Wei" character handsome flag, he could only encourage everyone to fight bravely. "Brothers, now we can't fight anymore, but I want to ask you, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers shouted.
"We are trapped in the camp, the strongest army in the world, wearing the strongest armor in the world, holding the sharpest spear, today, let those cavalry see the majesty of my trapped camp!" Gao Shun shouted loudly.
"Trapped! Trapped! Trapped! The five hundred people shouted three times in a row, and their morale soared all of a sudden, and even Cai Yong, who was protected in the center, and those Luoyang troops couldn't help but be shocked, such a strong fighting spirit and firm fighting spirit had never been encountered in their lives. The soldiers in each of the camps, in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, did not even make a sound, and one by one they were as solemn as mountains, waiting to resist the charge of the cavalry.
The generals who led the army on the opposite side naturally saw this group of men and horses early, they were originally ordered to retreat from Xuanyuan Pass, so they naturally had to hurriedly keep up with Dong Zhuo's westward advance. When I heard that there was a team of centaurs not far away, with a lot of baggage, I already had the heart of beating rabbits with grass, so I galloped all the way, preparing to charge in a round to take down this wave of people.
It's just that the closer I go, the more I feel that this wave of people is not ordinary, whether it is a formation or a calm formation, it is completely an absolutely well-trained army, and it is by no means a private soldier of a big family. It's just that now in Luoyang, when did such elite people come, why don't I know?
In particular, their carts were placed in two circles around their periphery, and even if their cavalry rushed over, it would be difficult for them to break through the obstacles formed by these carts. And those armor soldiers squatted behind the cart one by one, holding spears in their hands, and at a glance they knew that this was specially for dealing with cavalry, how could they still rush forward, and when the time came, they didn't grab anything, but lost their own manpower.
But with such a capable person, it is better to see him, maybe discuss with him, let him leave some baggage by himself, and let them go by himself. Therefore, this man stopped his subordinates who were charging, and a man stepped forward on his horse, and said loudly: "Who are the soldiers and horses ahead, and why are they here?" ”
That Gao Shun looked out and couldn't help but be surprised, the enemy general on the horse, who was not Wei Xu? I was in Wuyuan back then, and I was still eating with him in a horse spoon, how could I not know him. Since it's Wei Xu, it's easy to do, I think that based on his friendship with him, plus Gao Ye's face, he should be able to open up his net, right?
Gao Shun hurriedly separated the crowd, walked out, and replied loudly: "The last general, Gao Shun, has seen General Wei." ”
Wei Xu couldn't help but say "Huh" when he heard this, it was actually Gao Shun, what was the situation, wasn't he Gao Ye's general? The army of the princes of the Nineteenth Route is still outside the Tiger Prison Pass, how did he come to this place? However, he still let his subordinates relax, since they were acquaintances, there was no need to rob. Wei Xuda took a few steps forward before asking, "Why are you here?" ”
"On the order of my lord, I came to pick up the palace collection of books, and asked Lord Cai to go to Yingchuan." Gao Shun said with a smile. Wei Xu saw Cai Yong, who had already leaned out of the carriage behind him. Wei Xu had also seen him when he was in Wuyuan, so he also bowed his hand to him, and then continued to say to Gao Shun: "Since it is a man who follows it, then it is inconvenient for me to stop it, so you can go." We are waiting to retreat from Xuanyuan Pass, but it is the last wave of people, and no one will stop you after you come. ”
"Thank you General Wei for that."
"Eh, you and I already have a comradeship, and General Gao and I have a good relationship, how can I not give this face? Okay, let's leave quickly, I'm going to chase General Feng Xian too. Wei Xu laughed.
Gao Shun thanked Wei Xu and immediately ordered people to prepare to set off, and Wei Xu's soldiers and horses naturally passed by everyone. Gao Shun and Wei Xu were still chatting about some of the things that they didn't have, and they were about to separate, and they gave them a gift. Then Wei Xu gave Cai Yong a deep salute and said: "Lord Cai is going to Yingchuan here, and the flesh and blood are reunited, which is gratifying." There is also a good son-in-law like Gao Taishou, Wei Xu congratulates Master Cai in advance! Master Cai, we'll see you later. Wei continued to say, beat the horse and left. Only a stunned Cai Yong and a Gao Shun with a black face were left.
"Gao Xunzhi! You explained to me exactly what he meant! ”
