Chapter 70: The Alliance Under the City
Unlike the imposing Gaochang cavalry, Lu Shuihu Jingcai had been shocked by the opponent's opening three-board axe and lost the courage to take the initiative to attack. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The leader's face sank like water, and he looked at the tribal children lying on the battlefield wailing in pain, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as a drop of blood.
At this time, the brother persuaded in his ear: "Brother, this battle can't be fought again, otherwise all the elites of our department will be lost, and how to protect the safety of the tribe in the future without the elites?" β
Frustrated Qu Luo replied viciously: "Lu Guang obviously wants to borrow a knife to kill people to punish Lu Shuihu for his previous invasion of Xijun. β
"If you and my brother stop now, how can Lu Guang give up?"
Fuqu Luo Qiu guessed correctly, and the plan with Wei Shuo had been decided, and Lu Guang was ready to sacrifice Lu Shui and Hu Jingqi in his heart.
Don't think that if the Lu Shuihu people take refuge in it, Lu Guang will forget that they captured Xijun before, echoing Peng Huang, Kang Ning and other rebels.
Moreover, the 10,000 Lu Shui Hu Jing Cavalry had gradually threatened the rule of the Lu family.
Therefore, in public and private, Lu Guang will not easily let go of the Lu Shuihu tribe.
In this battle, if the Luo Qiu brothers were ruthless and fought with the Gaochang cavalry, Lu Guang might have let them go for the sake of Lu Shuihu's heavy losses.
But if Frustrated Luo Qiu still pretends to preserve his strength and does things perfunctorily, then Lu Guang will definitely make the other party regret it.
At this time, Lu Guang, who was watching the battle, looked at the frustrated Luo Qiu who was cowering on the battlefield, and his eyes were full of cold light, so he ordered: "The hit army beat the cowhide drum to cheer for the leader of the frustrated Luo Qiu!" β
"The governor has an order: the Chinese army beats the drums and cheers for the leader of the frustrated canal!"
Soon a sky-shaking drum sounded in the Lu army's array, but unfortunately, this drum sound was not only not able to boost morale, but it was a magic sound that urged life.
At the same time, the Gaochang cavalry on the opposite side had been assembled again, and everyone was holding their sabers high and killing Lu Shuihu again like a gust of wind.
The sunlight shone on Bai Huahua's sword, reflecting a dazzling cold light, and a murderous aura rushed to the sky, and many Lu Shuihu cavalry couldn't help but tremble.
"Kill!" Wei Shuo roared angrily, pointed at the long stick, and rushed out first like an arrow off the string.
The rest of the cavalry followed, swept in a frontal formation.
Like a rolling torrent, the Gaochang Iron Horse roared towards the Lu Shuihu people, like a sharp knife, straight into the Lu Shuihu array.
When the war horses were staggered, the Gaochang cavalry waved their sabers one after another, and with the speed of their horses, they slashed at the Lu Shuihu people who were staggering.
"Ahh "Ahh A series of screams rang out in the camps of both sides.
Generally speaking, the Gaochang cavalry firmly gained the upper hand by virtue of various advantages such as advanced equipment, superb horsemanship, perfect training, and tactical leadership.
This scene on the battlefield made both the enemy and us dumbfounded, and no one expected that the Lu Shuihu cavalry, who was born in the grassland tribe, would be suppressed by the Gaochang cavalry.
Lu Guang's eyes were gloomy, and he understood that he had lost the competition this time, and he would be forced to sign an 'alliance under the city' with Wei Shuo's kid.
It wasn't that he didn't think about repentance, but the brave and invincible Gaochang cavalry in front of him, coupled with the looming 'tens of thousands' of defenders in the city, made him dispel this idea.
Don't look at the tens of thousands of elites under his command, his strength far exceeds Wei Shuo, but most of his troops are infantry, and there are less than 5,000 elite cavalry.
As for the Lu Shuihu cavalry who had just taken refuge, Lu Guang didn't dare to fully trust the other party, and after today's incident, I am afraid that Lu Shuihu is even more untrustworthy.
Unlike Lu Guang's depressed mood, Duan Ye, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, almost shouted excitedly.
He looked at Wei Shuo, who was still fighting bloodily, and couldn't help but show admiration.
From the very beginning, Wei Shuo's goal was clear, that is, to force LΓΌ Guang to sign an alliance under the city.
Next, whether it is to spread suspicious soldiers in the city or kill Lu Shuihu with elite iron horses, it will make Lu Guang realize that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.
Unless Lu Guang has the heart of burning jade, he can only make peace with Wei Shuo temporarily.
As time went on, the losses of Lu Shuihu's cavalry became greater and greater, and seeing that the elite under his command would be exhausted, Luo Qiu finally lost the patience to continue the battle, and hurriedly chose a way to retreat with the remnants.
Looking at the Lu Shuihu people who were gradually withdrawing from the battlefield, Wei Shuo did not order the pursuit, but looked at Lu Guang.
"Grand Duke, I wonder if the agreement you and I just made still counts?"
"How not? The day my son Lu Fu returned safely was the day when the contract was signed. β
"Well, the Governor is happy! When your army retreats, 80,000 stone of grain will be transported to Guzang. β
"It's a deal."
"A gentleman's word, a quick horse."
During the confrontation between LΓΌ Guang and Wei Shuo, except for the two uncles who were quietly concerned about the two uncles, the rest of the LΓΌ generals didn't care about the loss of Lu Shuihu's people at all.
Fuqu Mengxun said to Fuqu Luo Qiu with a worried face: "Uncle, I am afraid that you are in danger of losing this battle. β
"Do you think Lu Guang will take the opportunity to get rid of me?" Frustrated Luo Qiu asked with a heavy face.
"Nine times out of ten, it will." Frustrated Qu Mengxun affirmed.
"Probably not, right? In this battle, our troops were certainly defeated by the Gaochang cavalry, but it was also a desperate battle, among which the tribal elite cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the young and strong died on the battlefield. The governor doesn't say that he will be rewarded for the funeral, and he won't take the opportunity to ask for the life of the eldest brother, right? β
Faced with the questioning of Fuqu Qu Congee, Fuqu Mengxun said bitterly: "Oh, uncle, you think Lu Guang is too simple!" He was dissatisfied with our troops to occupy Xijun before, and if it weren't for his uncle's decision to join him, I'm afraid we would have died in Xijun City. β
"Since then, Lu Guang has been very jealous of our department, otherwise he would not have sent his uncle to fight this time."
"This is obviously a plan to kill people with a knife, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, Lu Shuihu's vitality is greatly damaged, and he can no longer threaten Gu Zang."
"If he wins, his uncle may still be spared death; But now that he has failed, how can Lu Guang let go of his uncle easily? β
After listening to his nephew's analysis, Luo Qiu's face turned pale, and it took him a while to come to his senses.
I saw him staring at his nephew and brother with burning eyes, and admonishing the two of them in a heavy tone.
"I can see this failure, in the past, we underestimated the heroes of the world, thinking that with the strength in our hands, it was enough to establish a hegemony like Qianliang."
"Now it seems that Wang Tu's hegemony is not something that ordinary people can touch, and it can only end miserably."
"From now on, the Lushuihu tribe should temporarily extinguish the desire to fight for hegemony and make every effort to recuperate in order to make a comeback."
"If I am unfortunately killed this time, the tribe shall be succeeded as the leader of the tribe in the future."
"Brother, you have to assist our nephew well, he is a capable person."
"In the future, it depends on you whether our department has a chance to plot the cause of the king."
"Brother, why do you say that? It's really not good, let's just run away? Why wait for someone to have their head cut off? β
"Confused!" Seeing that his brother Fuqu Qu Congee did not choose to speak, Fuqu Luo couldn't help but open his mouth to reprimand the other party.
"Runaway? Where to run? Besides, you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple. β
"After this battle, LΓΌ Guangding was the power of Hexi, and Liangzhou was divided equally with Gaochang Weishuo, and any other forces had to surrender."
"If you and my brother run away, we will be able to escape with our lives, but we will put the tribe in danger."
"For the sake of today's plan, our department should be careful to cling to Lu Guang and wait for changes in the future."
"Change? What else will change in the future? Even Gaochang Weishuo bowed his head, who else in Hexi was the opponent of the governor? β
"Humph! Do you think that if Lu Guang and Wei Shuo stop making peace, the two sides can really get along in harmony? This is just a truce, and when the two sides have licked each other's wounds, there will be more violent conflicts in the future, and that is the time for our troops to rise again, and before that time it will be fully dormant. β
After teaching his brother a lesson, Fuqu Luo Qiu looked at Fuqu Mengxun again and admonished: "Nephew, although you are only in your twenties, you have always been resourceful and far-sighted. In the future, the tribe will be handed over to you to be responsible, and I hope you will not live up to your uncle's expectations. β
"Please rest assured uncle, uncle's teachings, nephew to keep in mind."
At this moment, I heard someone shouting in the distance: "Where is the leader of the frustrated canal?" Lord Governor, please! β
Frustrated Luo Qiu bowed his head at his younger brother and nephew, and then walked towards the Chinese army's big tent without hesitation......
