Chapter 82, Blood, Fire, Rivers and Mountains
(Surprised to see "tomorrow's rain after" children's shoes, Gaga, thank you for subscribing~)
"No matter, order the whole army to attack directly!"
There was some helplessness in his voice, but it was Dong Cheng, the commander of the Yulin Army, the abbot of the dynasty, and the general of the chariot cavalry, and the one who had just spoken to him was naturally the young son of heaven Liu Xie.
At this time, this Dong Cheng is not helpless and can't do it, now this situation clearly shows that the trap has been recognized, and the trap that has been identified has naturally lost its original meaning, unless they make up their minds to hide it like this, and wait for the other party to be impatient, it is obviously unrealistic, not to mention that among them, there is a king of a country and a member of the imperial court who can't be so patient at all, let's just say that the untrained Yulin Army under his command may not have such a good temperament and strict discipline.
Pang De's vigilance is naturally right, Dong Cheng has indeed set up an ambush here, and it can even be said that this time in the duel with Pang Dejun, Dong Cheng also put all his hopes here, this is a good opportunity for him to give up the previous set fire in front of the palace gate to attack the other party.
Dong Cheng also knew that this place had been made by Lu Bu for a while before, and he didn't care about it at the time, this time he heard that the other party was menacing, and he planned to lead the Yulin Army to defend in front of the gate of the palace, but he didn't expect that when he passed by here temporarily, he found that this place was very suitable as a trap place, of course, more things were not found, after all, Jia Xu was so cautious and cautious, of course, it had all been sorted out before, and it was absolutely impossible for outsiders to see the slightest trace, at most, he felt that this place was really a suitable place for ambush.
It is said that people of insight will be very close most of the time, even if their ideas are not very consistent, and Dong Cheng can be regarded as the kind of person with real materials under Liu Xie. So at that time, I made a decision when I saw it, after all, it was a smooth road from this urn city to the emperor's bedroom, and this was the only suitable place to block, coupled with its own geographical advantages, as long as it was camouflaged a little, it was enough to make a good ambush.
However, the time between the discovery and the encounter with the enemy army was too hasty, and it was too late for him to have too much time to make arrangements, and there were no many things to cover up; And also on the side of the palace gate, he was shocked by Pang De's courage and wisdom for a while, after all, Dong Cheng is still an out-and-out rookie at the mercy of the military, and his confidence is very insufficient. It is normal to lose your sense of normalcy and not be able to make reasonable judgments and make the right decisions when encountering some changes. Therefore, there is no rule when the person is broken, and he only knows how to pretend to be empty to lure the other party, but he doesn't know that once he does not do it well, it is easier to arouse suspicion, just like now.
Actually, there is no camouflage near this place, but it's okay. It's a little more natural. The point is to come all the way. Pang De and they didn't notice the figure of a soldier of the Yulin Army at that time, and then suddenly found that there was such a place in front of them, and the bigger door was open, and it looked like inviting the king into the urn. Naturally, it is easy to arouse suspicion, and if it were not so, it would not be so easy for Pound to see the strangeness of this place almost at a glance, and then send someone to test it.
In fact, at this time, if it is an experienced person leading troops, such as Zhang Liao, the first thing that comes to mind in the face of this situation will definitely not be to take the initiative to attack immediately without patience like Dong Cheng, but will wait and see the changes until it is sure that it has indeed been completely leaked, and then it is not too late to act, after all, Pound at this time is also in the stage of suspicion, at this time, if he can arrange some temptation means in front of him, the other party is likely to fall for the trick.
However, everything is not if, since Dong Cheng has already made this decision, as the main general and backbone of the current Yulin Army, everyone is naturally headed by him, and Liu Xie has no opinion at all next to him.
So just outside the palace wall, when he was still waiting for the signal of the thirty cavalry soldiers who rushed over, he suddenly looked up under the reminder of the soldiers next to him, but saw that as he had guessed, there was indeed a row of energetic and majestic Yulin soldiers on the palace wall, and in the middle were the little emperor, the abbot Dong Cheng and a number of ministers; At the same time, the gate of the palace wall in front of him was also slowly closing, but although it was close at hand, Pound did not dare to send troops to break through the gate, and could only watch as a gate separated his army from the thirty pathfinders in front of him.
But here is due to the terrain here, Pang De is worried that the team will enter and fall into the trap directly, and in this way, this invisible collision between the two sides is half a catty, Dong Cheng's military plan was discovered by the other party and did not work, but at the same time, Pang De was also blocked out of the palace wall, and he could not move forward, let alone capture the Son of Heaven.
Dong Cheng was looking down at Pang De below at the moment, and he had to praise a great general in his heart, but unfortunately it was not used by the Son of Heaven, but also his enemy.
Pound also looked up at him, as if he had a thousand words, and finally only converged into one sentence: "Attack!" ”
This palace wall is not as high as the city wall, not only is it not as high as the city tower, but it is not so solid, although Pang De's group of people and horses are all cavalry, but they can attack the city when they get off the horse, Pang De even saw that at this time, the other party above from Dong Cheng, the main general of the first army, to the ordinary soldiers below have begun to lose their square inches, at this time it is a good opportunity for him to wave his troops upwards to further attack the morale of the other party, and he will not let it go.
For a while, rows of human ladders were formed outside the palace wall, and the archers of the Yulin Army above were disturbed by the other party's dense and unhurried offensive that had not yet arrived in front of them, and they were a little unintentional to fight, and they were suppressed for a while, if it weren't for Dong Cheng personally going into battle to kill the two enemies who climbed up, the little emperor also took this opportunity to immediately shout and call on everyone to meet the enemy, so he finally stabilized his position a little, then under this first round of offensive, this fragile palace wall may be lost.
The ministers beside Dong Cheng were all shocked when they saw this scene, but at that moment, they didn't even stiffen their bodies, but they didn't run away first to disturb the hearts of the army, and they didn't temporarily withdraw their hearts into their stomachs until the wall was stable, but they were still afraid and had already begun to think about escaping.
However, the young man who was not as weak as the crown was very courageous, and he almost advanced and retreated with the soldiers, of course, most of the time he was blocked behind, but this also made Dong Cheng feel very gratified. After all, compared with the previous days, today's Liu Xie is the son of heaven he really wants to see.
However, thinking that this situation is rare in the past period of time, it is not nothing, and in general, the other party is "sometimes good and sometimes bad", he is a little worried that this is just a whim, and he is affected by the environment, so he wants to persuade him like this.
Thinking that Dong Cheng's heart was heavy, he condensed his voice for a long time: "Seeing today's scene with my own eyes, Your Majesty should also think of how difficult it should be for the ancestors of the Liu family to work hard to build this country."
For example, today is stormy, chaotic and homeless. Dahan Foundation is in danger. Can you bear to see the great rivers and mountains that your ancestors have brought down like this? ”
Even now, he has not given up persuading Liu Xie, hoping that Liu Xie, who has been addicted to alcohol and has bad signs of developing in the direction of faint kings in the eyes of their internal and external ministers during this period of time, can be redirected into the right path.
Seeing that Liu Xie was silent and did not speak, he continued: "Your Majesty has just reached adulthood now. But it was the time when there was a lot to do. Do you want to waste all your good time on that beautiful pleasure? So. I'm afraid that after a hundred years, I won't have the shame to see the ancestors of the Han family......"
At this time, Liu Xie was undoubtedly in a rare state of sobriety, so he naturally understood what Dong Cheng meant, and he also wanted to explain it clearly. Things were not as the other party imagined, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say to Dong Cheng, let alone what to say.
Tell the truth?
Not to mention whether Dong Cheng will believe it, even if he sues Dong Cheng and he believes it, what can he do?
Liu Xie now also knows some of Lu Bu's intentions, to put it simply, although he is not using any upright means, he has obviously never worried about the problem of leakage, a key is that from the moment Liu Xie was recruited, he was already destined to become more controlled by him as time went by, and it would only make him more controllable, and it would be more difficult to get rid of.
Because he knows this very well, Lu Bu doesn't even worry about the true situation of Liu Association telling other people, it's just when he is not sober, when he is sober, it seems like now, he can also think about it by himself and weigh the pros and cons, he will not know that it is not good for him to say it, but because of this, he annoys Lu Bu, and he has to endure I don't know how much pain and suffering.
Over there, Dong Cheng didn't know that there were so many painful and torturous thoughts circulating in Liu Xie's heart at this moment, seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, he wanted to sigh, and when he saw Liu Xie's pensive look, he seemed to really listen to what he said, and he was already thinking about it, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Then Dong Cheng quickly gathered his thoughts and focused on the battle situation in front of him.
The scene looks quite stalemate, because the place where it is located is too narrow, and there are palaces on both sides, plus it is attacking from the bottom up after all, and it naturally occupies a disadvantage, so the imposing Ma family cavalry led by Pang De can't give full play to its due advantages at all, but the Yulin Army relies on its familiarity with the palace, although it is the first time for them to show it here, and even the first time they really cooperate with each other on the battlefield. However, after Liu Xie and Dong Cheng gradually stabilized under the pressure, they also played their due level, and for a while, the two sides were evenly matched and fell into a stalemate.
And if it continues like this, it is undoubtedly very unfavorable to the Pang Dejun, after all, they have not been much prepared here, and they have not thought that they will encounter such a fierce and tenacious resistance, but the rear of the Yulin Army has a whole base camp, and the protracted war is logistics, so it is clear which is better or worse if it continues.
However, although Dong Cheng knew this, there was not much joy on his face, which made Liu Xie look strange, and immediately asked the doubts in his heart, how do you know that Dong Cheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty should have also heard that this invasion of Luoyang Land is not only this way. We have resisted them for the time being, and even the advantage will be greater in the future, but the other party has not done its best, and the other team has not seen any movement so far? If we are complacent in front of us, who knows when the other party will suddenly jump out and strike a fatal blow to us? ”
Liu Xie heard Dong Cheng say that he should have heard something like that, his face couldn't help but be a little scornful, and he was also a little ashamed of himself, before he fell into a coma yesterday, he was not very clear for several days, and he didn't care about the enemy at all, and his thinking was not very clear at that time, maybe he still thought that there was Lu Bu's army stationed in Luoyang, and who would not open his eyes would come to him.
However, the embarrassment was only for a moment, and then when he heard Dong Cheng's detailed explanation, Liu Xie understood, and his heart sank, because he also thought that if Dong Cheng said so, the initiative was still in the hands of the other party, and once the other party really started to act, I am afraid that he would not have the power to fight back.
In fact, at this time, there was indeed a team of men stationed here at the south gate of the palace, and at the same time, there was also a brand new team of men and horses at the east gate of Luoyang City, and their military flag was written with a big "Yuan" character......
