Chapter 367: Straight to the Roots

On the wide and turbulent surface of the Yellow River, countless large and small boats marching bravely in the rapids, dotted with white sails, are densely dotted, like huge schools of fish chasing the waves, constantly cutting through the churning river, and moving forward quickly.

On the main ship, the majestic soldiers on both sides were all naked, with protruding iron-like muscles, shouting the horn in unison, and struggling to swing the oars to ride the wind and waves. On the bow deck of the ship, a person with a broad face and a beard, his eyes were dignified, looking ahead, and he actually looked up at the sun, and his eyes did not blink an eye, it was Emperor Zhao Shihu.

Zhang Jackal, the general of Zhengxi, walked over lightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty! Half an hour further on, and then Pinggao was passed. According to the scout's report, there was no Qin army to stop it in the Pinggao area, which can be described as a smooth road. ”

Shi Hu snorted and said: "From Jixian all the way to the west against the water, there is no Qin army to meet at all, and Pinggao will naturally not have it." It's not that they don't dare to fight, but they can't imagine that I will attack Luoyang from the Yellow River waterway. ”

Zhang Jackal hurriedly bowed down and praised; "Your Majesty's plan, out of nowhere, unpredictable, really unexpected, is really a surprise attack on its unpreparedness, even the ancient good generals, should also sigh to themselves, and the ministers, etc., are simply shocking."

"Most of them thought that I would march into the state. Hmph, it is important to merge states, but even if Jinyang is defeated, it is just a repeated tug of war with the Qin army. There is also the traitor Shi Sheng, barking in the Xingyang area, he thinks that if he takes refuge in Gao Yue, he will be able to get away from it? It's just that if we attack Shi Sheng now, although the chances of victory are very high, but with the tiger prison as an obstacle, it is difficult for our army to advance, and killing Shi Sheng is just to let me vent my hatred, and it will not have much impact on the military situation. Therefore, I thought, either I don't come, or I will have a big one, and Luoyang will be captured directly, and all the troubles will be solved. ”

Shi Hu stroked his thick hair, couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world says that northerners ride horses, and southerners ride boats. This is not necessarily true, is there no cavalry army in Jiangdong? I don't have a person who knows how to water? Fallacy! I chose to raid Luoyang from the waterway this time, it was also carefully considered, as long as I could catch them off guard before Gao Yue reacted, hehe, when Luoyang was surrounded by my large army and attacked with all my might, and the reinforcements were too late to rescue in a hurry, Luoyang would definitely be obtained by me. When Gao Yue falls into my hands, hum, I want him to beg for death! ”

It is said that although the city of Ji County is small and barren, there is a port less than five miles southeast from Ji County, which is the Yellow River. Historically, there have been many fishermen on the banks of the river, who have gathered here to hunt and sell fish, so there are not a few large and small boats. The most important thing is that from Jixian Port up the river, although it is a countercurrent, but within four or five days, you can reach Mengjin Port, and then you can directly attack Luoyang. He even abandoned the ship and landed on the shore from a dangerous place, and then only twenty or thirty miles away, and he could reach the city of Luoyang, which had no barrier.

As soon as he thought of this, the confusion of why Shi Hu unexpectedly went to Chaoge was solved. At present, the main force of the Qin army is out, Luoyang is relatively empty, if it is caught off guard, it is suddenly attacked by Shi Hu's 50,000 army, what the consequences are, three-year-old children can guess. Even though Han Yongdang was scared into a cold sweat, while he was anxious about Gao Yue, in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Dao Dao emergency military order flew out like snowflakes.

With the participation of the army in the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the figure of the generals running wildly, the troops everywhere began to be immediately mobilized: 10,000 troops from the Beijing Division were forbidden to go down the river, patrol the river, and prepare to meet the attack on the Zhao army at any time. At the same time, He Chengbu in Hedong hurried to Mengjin Port to garrison as a follow-up to the main force. Yang Tao was in a good situation, but in order to protect Kyoto, he had to shrink his forces and retreat south, cross the Taihang Mountain and go straight to Yewang, hoping to stop the Zhao army in Pinggao, if he couldn't catch up, he would chase and counterattack from behind; And Shi Sheng was also ordered to temporarily return to the army and return to Xingyang to ensure that it was safe. In addition, the former general Wu Xia was transferred to guard the tiger prison in order to rescue Luoyang at any time; Yang Jiantou and Lei Qizhi two generals, each leading 5,000 elites, camped in the northwest and northeast of Luoyang, facing the Yellow River, and crossed the river with several iron cables, waiting for the battle.

Luoyang, the capital division, is under martial law, and the outer city and the inner city are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry; In addition, Zhou Panlong, the general of Wuwei, personally supervised the death army, guarded the imperial city day and night, and communicated with Yang and Lei once every two hours to keep abreast of the movements of the Zhao army.

In the early morning of the third day, 3,000 people from Cao Yi, the former army of the forbidden army and the general of Fubo, were the first to encounter the army of Zhao when they inspected the river. Cao Yi immediately reciprocated and led his troops to deal with him. After the main force of the Qin army was reported, it immediately moved, He Cheng led his troops down the river to meet the Zhao army, Yang Jiantou and Lei Qizhi left troops to strengthen their defenses, and then led 3,000 soldiers each, and rushed along the riverbank.

When the two generals Yang and Lei arrived at the battlefield on the river, Cao Yi and his 3,000 soldiers had already been killed, and He Cheng's 10,000 troops had already fought with the front army of the Zhao army. Yang Lei ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows, contain them with overwhelming crossbows, and patrol back and forth on the shore to prevent the Zhao army from landing on the south bank.

After fighting for a long time, it seemed to be evenly matched, but it finally stopped the pace of Zhao Jun, which was somewhat reassuring. When the generals were relieved, an urgent report suddenly came from the rear, Mengjin Port was lost, and Luoyang was in danger!

It turned out that Shi Hu had discovered that the Qin army had learned of his movements first, and the plan to attack Luoyang along the river was basically broken. But he made a quick decision, leaving 30,000 people still sailing against the current, and simply fanfare to firmly attract the attention of the Qin army, but he led 20,000 elite soldiers to land on the north bank of the river early, silenced the banner, sneaked for hundreds of miles, and suddenly arrived at the already empty Mengjin Port, and after falling in one fell swoop, he went straight to Luoyang from Mengjin Port non-stop.

This shocking report almost frightened the soldiers on the front line, and they hurriedly turned around and returned to the army to save the Beijing division, but they were killed by the front army of the Zhao army for a while, and there were many casualties. But where can He Cheng and the others take care of it, at this time, they would rather use relatively small losses to buy urgent time to ensure that their fundamental interests cannot be infringed upon.

Luoyang City was surrounded by the Zhao Corps and attacked frantically. Although the city wall is tall and strong, it can't stand the beast-like Zhao Bing ant attached to the bite, and it will not be long before it will be scorched everywhere and scarred. Gao Yue put on armor and a sword, personally ascended the city, and commanded the refusal. Because of the emperor's personal arrival, the Qin soldiers were inspired and excited, and resisted desperately, and the corpses on and off the city were piled up, and Luoyang City finally insisted on it.

"Gao Yue! Your Luoyang is about to be lost, now open the door to welcome the surrender, I can crown you as the Marquis of Guiyi and save your life. If you resist stubbornly, after the city falls, I have a way to make you regret it! ”

Russia, a bright red blood-like Daxu, showing off its might outside the city from far and near. In the midst of Zhao Bing's shouting, Shi Hu, who was in golden helmet and golden armor, straddled an exceptionally tall and strong horse, and shouted loudly at the city with a horse whip.

"I told the army and the people with loyalty, courage and righteousness, and I was about to sweep away the Hulu and restore the world, how could I stoop to you and other ugly people? Shi Huxiu is going to be rampant, and under the city of the gods, it is your burial place! ”

Gao Yue glared at it, snatched a strong crossbow and big bow, and after carefully aiming, with supreme divine power, with a bang, the strong arrow went straight to Shihumian Gate like chasing wind and lightning!

Shi Hu is also a fierce general with excellent martial arts, seeing six ways and hearing in all directions, listening to the sound of the wind, and then feeling that the air in front of him seems to be torn apart, he knows in his heart that there must be a strong attack, he roared, raised the giant spear in his hand, the soldiers will only hear the loud sound, Shi Hu can be able to shoot the big arrow in front of him, the eyes and hands quickly pushed away, the arrow was not gone, poofed into the hard ground, only half of the tail cluster stubbornly stretched out of the head.

The spear shaft in Shi Hu's hand was shocked, his arms were numb, and he was even more secretly surprised in his heart: it is said that Emperor Gao Yue of Qin was also a super fierce general in the 10,000-strong array, but he did not fight with him. I didn't expect that the power of this arrow today could be so strong, it seems that if it is true, Gao Yue's force will most likely be above his stone tiger.

Shi Hu is extremely conceited by nature, in his eyes, he has never looked down on anyone, and at the end of the martial arts, he thinks that he is peerless and fierce at the level of an overlord. Unexpectedly, Gao Yue turned out to be even stronger, which made him unwilling to admit it, but the truth forced him to face it squarely, so he couldn't help but be angry at the moment, gritting his teeth with hatred.

Shi Hu immediately turned his horse back into the formation, issued a death order, ordered the soldiers to attack the city with all their strength, and openly shouted that after the city was broken, he could indulge in burning and looting for three days, and then completely slaughter the city.

When shouting to kill the earth-shattering sky, the two phases attacked and defended and refused to fight, the Zhao army under the city was in chaos, and Qin Andong's general Lei Qizhi was the first to lead his troops to gallop angrily, and he crashed into the enemy formation, slashing left and right, killing flesh and blood. Yang Jiantou, the general of Russia and Pingnan, also arrived, and the two fierce generals, one first and one behind, one left and one right, fiercely chiseled towards the Shihu of the Chinese army in the rear.

The soldiers and generals of the Zhao army were invincible, and it was really difficult to resist. When it was embarrassed, there was a battle flag in the Zhao army suddenly, in the chaotic army, rushing back and forth, resolutely facing the first thunder seven fingers to break through, the city Gao Yue looked at it intently, the flag was the name of "Jianjie General Stone", I don't know who it is.

But I saw that the Zhao general was a young general, holding a spear in his left hand and a halberd in his right hand, and in an instant, he killed a large number of Qin soldiers and soldiers at the top, and several Qin generals who were extremely powerful came forward to fight, but whether it was a single fight or a joint attack, in less than a moment, they were all killed by the Zhao general.

"Nobodies are going to be rampant! Do you recognize the seven fingers of the general! ”

Lei Qizhi was leading his own soldiers back and forth to stir up the battle, and when he saw that Zhao General was very sharp, he couldn't help but be angry and rode his horse to fight. When the young general heard the thunder, he was not afraid, and his spear and halberd were raised. Sixty miles away, Lei Qizhi was stabbed in the left shoulder by a spear, and he got off the horse with a shout!
