Chapter 332: Wei Zhou Falls, and the Situation Changes
"Put!" Luo Wuguan waved the horizontal knife in his hand and let out a roar.
Luo Wuguan didn't expect Lu Longjun to come so quickly, but he had already arrived at the north gate of Yacheng in a moment. It is conceivable that the other party must be rushing non-stop. Fortunately, he personally brought people over to support, thinking of this, Luo Wuguan couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart: Hmph! Although I don't have many soldiers here, they are five hundred Megatron Wei Boya soldiers, and I want to capture Tooth City with you miscellaneous soldiers! Lao Tzu will let you taste the power of Wei Boya's soldiers!
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ......" The sound of bowstrings on the walls was endless.
The soldiers of the Iron Cavalry are all lightly armed, and they are cavalry, so it is naturally impossible to bring a bulky tower shield to Weizhou. There were even a small number of people who were not equipped with shields. The rest of the soldiers were only equipped with a small round shield with a diameter of one foot and three inches. In other words, it is about 40 centimeters in diameter, which is the length of the average adult's middle finger from the tip of the elbow.
In the face of the sudden blow, the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry were also a little caught off guard, and along the way, the enemy was either a fart and urine, and they did not hesitate to sell their backs to become soldiers of the Iron Cavalry. Either that or lay down your arms and surrender. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry, even if the soldiers on this city gate did not flee immediately, they should be in a state of confusion, and the arrows shot were either crooked, or they did not have much strength, and they did not want the other party to fight back so powerfully.
"Paralyzed! It's the Wei Bo Tooth Soldier! Yelu Abaoji also saw the origin of the other party by the light of the few torches on the city wall.
"Hmmm! It's actually Wei Boya's soldiers! Let people take it down! It's useless to rush hard like this! Guo Chongtao was also a little surprised, as a former Hedong general, he was more familiar with Wei Boya's soldiers than Yelu Abaoji. Wei Boya soldiers were one of the strongest armies in the world at that time, and there was a saying in the Middle and Tang Dynasty that "the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, the Tooth Army of Weifu", and an army was mentioned on a par with the Son of Heaven in the imperial court, so you can imagine what kind of strong army this is.
"Paralyzed, those guys' archery skills are not bad, but they have to be withdrawn!" Yelu Abaoji was also quite unwilling, but he also knew that it was the most rational to do so now. and the other party, even if you win in the end, it will be a miserable victory.
"General, let the last general lead people up and down this door!" He Gongming, who had been promoted to the commander of the cavalry of the left wing of the Iron Cavalry Capital, rode his horse to Yelu Abaoji's side and said. Under the light of the torches, the palm-sized birthmark on He Gongming's face became more and more hideous, as if he was about to break free from the evil ghost.
"No!" Guo Chongtao stopped Yelu Abaoji, who was about to agree to He Gongming, and said, "You can't attack recklessly. Let the wooden doors of the houses on both sides be demolished, He Gongming, let your men wear three layers of iron armor. I expected that although Luo Wuguan's reaction was fast, it was impossible for him to bring fire oil to the city gate right now, and there were not many rolling wood and stones on the city wall, so we directly sent heavy infantry to break through the city gate! Without fire oil, I see what means he has to restrain the hoplites! ”
"Good!" Yelu Abaoji was overjoyed when he heard this, and instructed He Gongming: "You go and take out the armor on the horse, and dress up as an iron horseman, well, it's a pity that there is no Mo knife, the weapon is casual, but don't take a big spear, this thing can't be used in a narrow place!" Let your subordinates give you all the wolf tooth hammer and short axe, and each Tang knife will prepare one! Paralyzed, Lao Tzu wants the world to know that Wei Boya's soldiers have become history! Now the tooth soldier who dominates the world is my Lulong Iron Cavalry! ”
Yelu Abaoji's words made the people around him feel their blood boiling when they heard the words. Right! Now that the Wei Boya soldiers are outdated, it is the era of our Lulong Iron Cavalry Capital!
Soon, the shield came, and it was the wooden doors of the houses on both sides. In ancient times, the door was made of a hard piece of wood as the latch, for which there were two wooden handles to fix the latch, although heavy, but this was a good natural tower shield, and there was no need to find wood to make the shield handle. In order to prevent fire, Yelu Abaoji also ordered his men to draw water from the well, mix it with dirt, and apply it to the outer layer of the wooden door, so that even if the fire oil is poured down, the shield will not burn in a short time.
He Gongming's side was also ready, and although the Iron Cavalry did not bring all the armor this time, he still brought three hundred pairs to prevent encountering a large number of enemies in the wild. At that time, it is good that there is a cavalry that can tear through the opponent's defense line, so that the follow-up light cavalry can follow behind and expand the results of the battle.
But even so, the armor with the iron cavalry was not enough, and Yelu Abaoji asked the officer to take off the armor on his body, which formed a hoplite of about 500 people, all of whom were wearing three layers of armor, and looked like a black iron tower from a distance.
"Iron Riders! Offensive! He Gongming's savage roar sounded, wielding a wolf's tooth hammer forward. The wolf's tooth hammer is not large, but it is only one and a half feet long (about forty-five centimeters), and at the top is a solid iron ball that is slightly larger than an adult's fist and two circles, and the iron ball is covered with small conical nails, which reflect a dark red luster in the dark night, and I don't know how much blood is stained with a wolftooth hammer.
A platoon of soldiers who had just been converted from mounted iron cavalry to hoplites slowly advanced, and it was evident that they were not used to this type of attack. However, fortunately, there are some similarities between the two, that is, the formation is neat, as if Mount Tai is pressing down, slowly pressing over, so that although the enemy knows the attack, he is powerless to resist this huge pressure. Therefore, although the hoplites who have just been transferred appear to be a little stiff in their actions, they are still quite good overall.
"I'm * grass! The guy on the other side is really good at spending money! Luo Wuguan was also a little surprised, the other party actually invested in elite soldiers and horses so decisively, and it was also an elite heavy infantry, an important heavy infantry could train five ordinary infantry, if it was a little simpler, just a light infantry equipped with a spear, just those three sets of heavy armor were bought, which was enough to recruit seven or eight unarmored spearmen.
But Wei Boyabing deserves to be the world's strongest team, although he was also taken aback by the opponent's luxurious lineup. But there was no need to panic, and without waiting for the order of Luo Wuguan, who was already slightly stunned, they had already begun to shoot independently.
Even if there is a shield to protect it, some arrows and even arrows peek out from behind the shield, but that's all, the arrows don't use much power after they penetrate the shield, and they are said to hit the soldiers.
In fact, this situation should not occur, but the main reason is that these wooden doors are demolished from private houses. There are good and bad folk wooden doors, but most of them are cut down from miscellaneous wood in the nearby mountains, not elm, birch and other woods commonly used in the army to make shields. These woods are all hardwoods, and generally these woods are made of tower shields. As long as the outside is wrapped in a layer of iron and a layer of cooked cowhide, there are countless long-range weapons except for bed crossbows thirty paces away.
However, the wooden doors made of these miscellaneous wood are obviously much worse. As the hoplites got closer to the walls, the more powerful the arrows became, and the shields began to be pierced. Fortunately, Yelu Abaoji didn't need to count on these shields, and the characteristics of the soldiers wearing three sets of armor were revealed. The outermost is a half-body plate armor, the middle is chain mail, and the innermost is iron-inlaid cotton armor.
After the arrow penetrates the shield, it already doesn't use much force, and if it is shot at the non-joint position of the half-body plate armor, the smooth surface will remove the arrow's original little strength, and don't even think about shooting through the steel plate. There were even quite a few hoplites who didn't know that they had been hit by an arrow, and the strength of them was so small.
If you shoot at the joint position, there is chain mail protection, chain mail is an iron ring buckle an iron ring, the arrow is shot on the iron ring, it is difficult to shoot through the protection of the iron ring, even if it is shot through, it is hooked by the iron ring, it is difficult to penetrate. In addition, there is cotton armor inside, even if the cotton armor is shot through, it will not penetrate into the flesh, and the soldier can easily pull out the arrow.
Slowly, Wei Boya's soldiers also discovered this phenomenon, because they found that it was like a downpour of arrows, and the other party completely ignored all this. Not many of the five hundred hoplites retreated, or were shot dead.
"Fight back!" Yelu Abaoji didn't use the stupid light to be beaten, because the range of the riding bow was not as good as the foot bow, and the opponent was condescending, the range was naturally farther and more powerful. Naturally, he was reluctant to let his soldiers fight hard with the other party with a riding bow, but it didn't mean that Yelu Abaoji wouldn't let the hoplites fight back.
The hoplites were also equipped with a light crossbow, which did not require foot pedals, but could be wound with the arm strength of both hands, so the rate of fire was quite fast. The only drawback is that the firing range is short, and before reaching the effective firing range, it will be washed by a round of arrows from the opponent, but when it comes to the hoplites, it seems to be much of a problem.
The hoplites, with the protection of heavy armor, basically ignored the arrows of Wei Boya's soldiers, and counterattacked with light crossbows. Although the night was dark, it was impossible to suppress Wei Boya's soldiers, but to say the least, it also made Wei Boya's soldiers useless and unscrupulous archery as before.
Thirty soldiers attacked with a ram, which was rudimentary, with a stiff rope tying four or five large bowl-sized logs together, and sharpening the other end of the log. Although it is rudimentary, it has to be said that it is very heavy, and it takes at least ten people to be able to carry him. And in addition to the rams, there are also soldiers with tower shields for cover.
"Where's the oil and the golden juice?" Luo Wuguan asked nervously.
"The general didn't use oil oil! Fire oil is usually hidden in the arsenal at the north gate, and at the moment it can only be used to ask for lamp oil from every household in Yacheng! The lamp oil has not been sent yet, and as for the golden juice, the iron pot has not yet been burned! The adjutant general smiled bitterly at Luo Wuguan.
"Why don't you prepare fire oil and gold juice!" Luo Wuguan asked angrily.
When the adjutant general heard this, he immediately cried out: "General, Lu Long's thief came too fast!" Who would have thought that the outer city and the inner city would be captured so quickly, and you don't know the situation in the tooth city, under normal circumstances, where would these things be placed. As for the golden juice, it is the most difficult to boil, and it is still freezing cold, and it has been wasted a lot of time to find dry firewood. Although the Lu Long thief came to the lower officials, he asked people to set up an iron pot to cook gold juice, but where is it so fast! ”
When Luo Wuguan heard this, he also knew that he was wrong with the deputy general. From the discovery of Lu Longjun's attack to the present, it is only a quarter of an hour at most, and the gold juice will be burned for nearly two quarters of an hour before it can be used, otherwise it will be a waste if the knife goes down. However, Luo Wuguan now had no time to appease the dissatisfaction in the lieutenant's heart, and he could even feel the soles of his feet trembling now, which was caused by Lu Longjun hitting the city gate.
"Come, a hundred heavily armored soldiers, concentrate their spears, paralyzed! In any case, Lu Longjun must be blocked, and in a quarter of an hour at most, the golden juice will be boiled! Go down with a pot of golden juice and scald these Lulong dogs to death, and we can block the city gates!" Luo Wuguan's loud shout encouraged morale, and he was not afraid of Lu Longjun hearing it. In fact, he also had the intention of intimidating Lu Longjun, trying to use it to undermine the morale of the other party, which was not obvious enough to be of much use to the iron cavalry composed of veterans.
They didn't have to see any scenes, so they naturally knew a little bit of Luo Wuguan's thoughts, but they just increased their efforts and hit the city gate. There was a groan of pain from the gates, and countless clouds of dust shook off from above them. The planks of the gates of Tooth City had cracked in several places, and the iron bars that held the planks together had been bent by the smashing.
"Hold on! Resist! Luo Wuguan personally led people down and asked the soldiers to resist the city gate with manpower. But he also knew that it was only a matter of time before the gates were knocked open. Let Luo Wuguan regret it, if he had been decisive, brought someone here, and blocked the city gate with stones, there would not be the current situation. But he didn't want to think about it, if he had time to calmly block the city gate, I was afraid that Yelu Abaoji would not have a chance to enter Weizhou City, and might even be beaten out.
"What a tough bone! But Lao Tzu's teeth are made of steel! Yelu Abaoji sat on horseback, saw the increasingly precarious city gate, showed a hideous smile, and said coldly.
"Well, it's useless to send someone to see if the siege ladder is made, don't expect the city gate, you have to prepare with both hands!" Guo Chongtao was not confused by the good situation in front of him, and blindly begged to open the city gate.
When Yelu Abaoji heard this, he was slightly stunned, nodded and smiled: "It's still the idea of you literati!" ”
Guo Chongtao smiled when he heard this, although Yelu Abaoji's words were a little derogatory, but he also knew that this was because Yelu Abaoji was more straightforward. For this kind of more cheerful people, Guo Chongtao prefers to get along with them, if he likes it, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, he puts it on his face, he is not afraid of the other party's mouth, and he hypocritically beware of each other all day long.
At this time, there was an earth-shattering cheer from the city gate, and Yelu Abaoji and Guo Chongtao hurriedly cast their eyes in the direction of the city gate. But the city gate was knocked open, but the entry into the city was not smooth, and many hoplites could be seen frantically pressing towards the city gate, but it was useless, and the speed of entering was not fast.
Guo Chongtao hurriedly ordered: "Quick! He ordered the soldiers not to attack indiscriminately, leaving only a hundred men to attack the city gates, and the others suppressed the Wei Boya soldiers at the head of the city. If there are too many people, they can't use it, but they let the opponent's bow and arrow shoot. What about siege ladders? Haven't you made it yet? Get someone to send it up! Two-way pinching, let Luo Wuguan know that I am Lu Long's power! ”
"No!" The herald on one side hurriedly answered.
"I'll take it and rush up personally, Chongtao, you personally guard it here!" Yelu Abaoji picked up the Mo knife hanging on the saddle and prepared to rush in the direction of the city gate.
Guo Chongtao hurriedly grabbed Yelu Abaoji and said: "The general is the master of an army, how can he easily make a mistake!" Besides, it's not that you can't take this city gate now, but it's just a little longer! ”
When Yelu Abaoji heard this, he reluctantly stood up and said, "That's it!" Wait and see! ”
The city gate in front of it seemed to have become the mouth of a man-eating beast, and although Lu Longjun's speed of entering was slow, it was in and out. Guo Chongtao slowly saw that something was wrong, how could the battle form such a stalemate? reminded Yelu Abaoji: "General, don't take any risks, I'll go ahead and take a look!" ”
"Alright!" Yelu Abaoji is not a reckless person who only knows how to rush and kill, he knows what he should do at this moment. It was just a surge of blood before. After Guo Chongtao's reminder, Yelu Abaoji is already very rational and knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do.
Guo Chongtao didn't say anything more, and as soon as he gave up his hand to Yelu Abaoji on horseback, he lifted the reins of the horse and galloped to the edge of the gate of Yacheng. Three pro-soldiers followed closely behind with small round shields. When he came to the city gate, Guo Chongtao couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and his face changed slightly. The reason why Lu Long's army did not go well was that Wei Boya's soldiers were at the other end of the city gate, concentrating their spears and stabbing them, while the soldiers of Lu Long's army behind did not know the situation in front of them at all, but only knew that they were frantically rushing up. As a result, many hoplites were involuntarily pressed onto their spears, and they died under 'their own people'. If it weren't for Guo Chongtao riding on horseback, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen this.
"Blow the trumpet! Let people retreat! Paralyzed, how did He Gongming do things! will rush up stupidly and let people shoot with light crossbows! When Guo Chongtao saw this, his heart was on fire, he turned over and dismounted, and seized the command of He Gongming without hesitation.
"No!" Guo Chongtao's personal soldiers blew the horn without hesitation. The soldiers who had flocked into the city gate did not hesitate to retreat slowly after hearing the horn. Leaving behind the corpse of a broken spear.
Luo Wuguan's face couldn't help but become a little pale, in the face of such an enemy, he didn't have a lot of pressure.
"General, how to retreat! We'll be able to get in soon! He Gongming came to Guo Chongtao's side, stunned by his neck, although he couldn't see He Gongming's face clearly because of the iron mask on the helmet, but it can be imagined that He Gongming's face was definitely not much better.
"Smack!" Guo Chongtao whipped He Gongming in the face without hesitation, but unfortunately with the protection of a helmet and an iron mask, He Gongming also crooked his head, and he didn't lose a single hair. Guo Chongtao seemed to be aware of this, and the second whip was not beaten. Instead, he pointed in the direction of the city gate and scolded: "This is your masterpiece!" I don't know anything, so I rush forward, do you know what I just saw? Many brethren died not by the spears of the enemy, but by your command! You tell them to rush, the back pushes the front, and the front can't hide if they want to. Even an iron man can't resist it, not to mention it's just three sets of iron armor! ”
He Gongming couldn't help but be stunned, his face under the mask was extremely angry. He Gongming slowly lowered his head and muttered, "General! I...... I was wrong! ”
"Get out!" Guo Chongtao said mercilessly.
"Nope! General, let me atone for my sins! He Gongming stubbornly stiffened his neck and yelled at Guo Chongtao.
When Guo Chongtao heard this, his face softened a little, and he also knew that He Gongming couldn't be blamed for this matter, the enemy was indeed too cunning. Of course, this is the main factor that He Gongming does not refute and dares to take responsibility. Therefore, Guo Chongtao has a little more appreciation and good impression of He Gongming, and a little less bad feeling.
Guo Chongtao nodded and said, "That's okay!" You take ten people, take knives and axes, and slowly cut off their spears, I think Luo Wuguan has more spears, or our knives and axes are faster! But don't say I didn't make it clear, if you can't take this gate, you don't expect to see the sun tomorrow! ”
"No!" He Gongming responded viciously, he was not intimidated by Guo Chongtao's words at all, but aroused the fierceness in He Gongming's heart, and his voice was full of murder.
"Good!" Guo Chongtao praised.
The pro-soldiers on the side didn't wait for Guo Chongtao to say more, so they said anxiously: "General, withdraw!" The Wei Boya soldiers on the city wall have begun to pay attention to this side, and there are a lot more arrows coming over! ”
Guo Chongtao glanced at the arrows on the shield of his own soldiers, and there were indeed a lot of them. Without further ado, he turned on his horse and hurriedly retreated to the rear, although it was still within range of the enemy. But the soldiers changed the tower shield made of the wooden door, and the distance was far away, Guo Chongtao was not so afraid.
"It's a pity! It would be nice if these Lulong dogs found out later! At this time, Luo Wuguan's face was full of regret, just now his soldiers had killed less than thirty hoplites, compared to the hoplites shot on the city wall. But it was done with a hundred Wei Boya soldiers.
Although Luo Wuguan said this, he was actually awe-inspiring. Knowing that the other party's master general should not be underestimated, he discovered his plan so quickly. Originally, he thought that he would kill this group of Lu Longjun until there were only seven or eight people left, and they would react, and he didn't want the other party to react so quickly! Blunder! What a mistake!
He Gongming also rushed up with murderous people at this time, and there were not many people, and there were only ten people connected to him. As soon as he killed, he took out the light crossbow hanging from his waist and pulled the trigger. Wei Bo's spearmen were crowded at the city gates, and the Lu Long soldiers had suffered a lot before, and there were still kinds of suffering. Now it's asking for it.
Although it was protected by armor, the city gate was densely packed with Wei Boya soldiers, and at least seven or eight casualties were caused. What's more, this kind of light is beaten and does not fight back, which makes Wei Boya's soldiers very aggrieved.
He Gongming and the others threw down their light crossbows and picked up their knives and axes. He didn't fight hard with Wei Boya's soldiers, covering with a shield in one hand and swords and axes in the other, as if chopping wood, but after a while, the spear was split to pieces.
"Paralyzed! We fought with Lu Longgou! A Wei Boya soldier couldn't bear it anymore, pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, ignored Luo Wuguan, and rushed forward.
"That's right! Fight with Lu Longgou! A soldier named Wei Boya threw down his spear and drew his short weapon to kill. They really couldn't stand it, and the mighty Wei Boya soldiers were actually pierced by this kind of grievance.
Guo Chongtao, who was supervising the battle behind, saw this, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered: "Blow the horn of the charge!" The whole army presses up! ”
"Don't! Give Ben a stop, don't be reckless! Luo Wuguan, who was at the city gate, had a different attitude, shouting on the side, but unfortunately it was useless. Wei Boya's soldiers are known for their arrogance and domineering, not to mention Luo Wuguan, even the Jiedu envoys dare to kill. In fact, Luo Hongxin was supported by Wei Boya's soldiers and killed the former Wei Bo Jiedu envoy, so that he was able to become Wei Bojiedu.
"The siege ladder is coming!" It's really luck, and you can't stop it. More than a dozen siege ladders were brought up, and the soldiers of the Lu Long Army immediately swarmed up.
The soldiers of the Lu Long Army divided into two routes, one to capture the city gate and the other to capture the city wall. Although Wei Boya's soldiers are not weak, they are not the opponents of the Iron Cavalry Soldiers, who are almost invulnerable to iron armor. If you slash me, I won't dodge or dodge, but I will slash at you. Although this style of play is quite scoundrel, it is straightforward and effective. If Wei Boya's soldiers retreated, then Lu Long's army would advance, step by step, step by step. But if you don't retreat, you're dead. Killing Wei Boya's soldiers was also frightened.
In a quarter of an hour, the walls were lost, and not long after, the gates were taken.
"General, let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! The soldiers came to Luo Wuguan's side in a panic and said anxiously.
"Let's go? Where to go? When Luo Wuguan heard this, he laughed miserably, and his voice was indescribable.
"Go back to the mansion and rely on the mansion to resist!" The pro-soldier suggested.
"Huh! Scold! Yacheng can't hold it, how to defend the mansion! Luo Wuguan said in frustration.
"This ......" The pro-soldier couldn't help but be so sad that he didn't know what to say.
"Heaven is dead!" Luo Wuguan came from his heart, wailed, and pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, before the soldiers could react, the horizontal knife had already been slashed at the neck.
"Flutter!" Blood gushed out from his neck, and Luo Wuguan slowly fell to the ground.
When the soldier saw this, his face changed greatly, and he wailed: "General, I'll wait!" As soon as the words fell, he picked up the horizontal knife and killed himself, and followed Luo Wu down Huangquan Road.
…… Zhangnan County......
Luo Hongxin was riding a horse on a high slope, holding a horse whip to point the country, full of spirit. "Zhangnan is really a good place! At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Heimin made his fortune here and took it as a place of governance. Now I, Luo Hongxin, will be here to defeat Lu Longjun! As soon as Li Cunhuan died, Lu Long's army will change greatly, and our soldiers will be divided into two ways, all the way to Yang Shihou, who is strong in Zaoqiang! All the way north along the Yongji Canal to Youzhou, after this war, Lulong will be my land! ”
"Dashuai is very good!" The strategists on one side were busy flattering.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! ......" Although Luo Hongxin knew that it was flattery, who didn't like flattery, and he was in high spirits at the moment, Luo Hongxin laughed happily.
"Yes! Yes! ......But at this time, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, and Luo Hongxin couldn't help frowning. Looking up, I saw a cavalryman with three small fiery red flags behind him galloping towards him.
Luo Hongxin's face couldn't help but change greatly, these three small fiery red flags were not for decoration, but on behalf of a hundred thousand urgent military intelligence. What is going on that is happening, and this kind of thing happening? Could it be that Yang Shihou was dying and struggling, and the whole army attacked? Impossible! Even then, it doesn't have to be so urgent.
"Let's go down and see what's going on!" Luo Hongxin commanded the soldiers on the side.
"Little obedience!" The soldier replied cheerfully, and immediately rode down to stop the cavalryman, and after a brief dispute between the two sides, the cavalry followed the soldier.
The pro-soldier came up, his face was very ugly, and when he saw Luo Hongxin, he immediately wailed with a sad face: "Handsome! Weizhou was attacked by Lu Longbing! ”
"What!" Not to mention those relatives and staff, even Luo Hongxin was shocked. Luo Hongxin asked, "How is it possible! ”
The messenger turned over and dismounted, followed the words of his own soldiers, and wailed: "Great marshal, Weizhou was attacked by Lu Longjun's sneak attack, and he turned his back overnight!" ”
"Luo Wuguan, what about that kid? Didn't I tell him to defend Weizhou well? How was it sneak attacked! Luo Hongxin was furious, eager to kill Luo Wuguan with a sword.
"Luo Tingshi swears to live and die with Weizhou City, and he has already been killed! Moreover, the enemy is from the southwest, and Luo Tingshi can't react at all! The messenger stumbled and wailed.
When Luo Hongxin heard this, his figure on horseback shook, and he was frightened by the entourage and staff around him hurriedly stretched out their hands to support Luo Hongxin. Luo Hongxin waved his hand, swept away the hands of his entourage and staff, and muttered: "Is it really the death of the heavens, and I can't do it?" ”
"Dashuai, now is not the time to react passively, retreat to Texas, there should still be some grain and grass in Weizhou! Coupled with the grain and grass in the army, it can also support a little bit. At the same time, try to stabilize the morale of the army, lest the retreat turn into a rout! Yes, he also sent someone to inform King Liang Chitose, this time, it must be Li Cunhuan who cheated to death! The staff said quickly.
Luo Hongxin smiled bitterly: "It's too late!" You say that Li Cunhuan's Jinyi Wei is a soft persimmon! At most, this matter will be hidden from the soldiers in the army for a day. And he couldn't hide it from Yang Shihou on the other side. Besides, what's the use of retreating to Texas? There is not much grain and grass in Texas, and it is impossible to even support spring ploughing, how to keep it! ”
"Then what the marshal said is to prepare...... So? A staff member looked at Luo Hongxin with some understanding, and said half-inquiringly.
"That's the only way!" Luo Hongxin said helplessly, the indescribable depression in his voice, the originally straight waist, I don't know when it has become a little hunchbacked.
Everyone looked at each other a little, some sympathized with Luo Hongxin, and a moment ago they were also high-spirited to guide the country and prepare how to invade Lu Long. But the next moment I found out that everything that was beautiful was a bubble, a huge bubble. The reality is that Luo Hongxin was played hard by Li Cunhuan, and was stabbed in the back by Li Cunhuan, leaving him with no return.
This is simply like in the stock market, the stock god who was originally dominant, suddenly fell to hell. This kind of gap, this kind of blow, makes countless people unacceptable, Luo Hongxin did not commit suicide, he is already mentally tough.
On the same day, Luo Hongxin was in the winter, ** upper body, tied himself with iron chains, and surrendered to Yang Shihou. and issued an order for the defenders of Texas and Dizhou to surrender.
…………
"Bang!" Zhu Wen threw the jade Ruyi that he had cherished in his hand to the ground and shattered it. It makes several staff members around him who love jade quite painful, this is made of the best Hetian jade, and it is worth thousands of yuan, to say the least!
"How is that possible! Li Cunhuan, this guy actually hit the west! Give the dummy! Zhu Wen ignored the flesh pain of those staff, and roared angrily to the sky. The voice was full of unwillingness, but also full of helplessness. The good situation came to naught for a while. What made Zhu Wen most angry was that Luo Hongxin actually surrendered, he actually surrendered! In Zhu Wen's opinion, if Luo Hongxin can support him for a while, he will have time to fight Li Cunhuan to the death.
"Chitose, stop the anger! Chitose, even if a thousand are broken at the moment, ten thousand jade ruyi will not help. It's the incompetence of subordinates that leads to such a thing! Please Chitose rebuke! Jing Xiang hurriedly knelt down and said half-pleadingly.
Although Zhu Wen was angry, he also knew that even if it was a punishment, now was not the time to punish Jing Xiang. If Jing Xiang is punished at this time, it will make the relatives painful, and the enemies will be fast!
Zhu Wen walked over with an arrow step, helped Jing Xiang with both hands, and said in a somewhat soothing tone: "Strategist, how can I blame you for this?" can only hate this Li Cunhuan for being too cunning, I can't imagine that he will plan it! Just what now? There is not much food and grass left in the army! ”
Jing Xiang pondered for a moment, and said: "At present, the lower officials only have three strategies, the best strategy, anyway, now that the Yellow River is almost frozen, Chitose will join the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the eldest prince, with a total of more than 120,000 troops, and fight to the death with Li Cunhuan!" However, Li Cunhuan is afraid that he will hold on, and now that Wei Bo has been captured, the entire Lianghe will fall into the hands of Li Cunhuan, and Li Cunhuan will probably defend in Heyang, and attack Xuanwu Bianzhou! ”
When Zhu Wen heard this, he nodded, his face was very pale.
Seeing this, Jing Xiang sighed in his heart, knowing that it was unlikely that Zhu Wen would use this strategy. Because of this strategy, Li Cunhuan withdrew his troops, but Xuanwu was crippled. And Xuanwu is the base of Zhu Wen's business, which is equivalent to Zhu Wen's home, who wants to do this kind of lose-lose thing.
Jing Xiang continued: "The middle strategy is to make peace with Li Cunhuan, Li Cunhuan can't swallow such a big piece of meat as Wei Bo. Naturally, it will take time to digest it, and if the lower officials personally send the envoys, the lower officials will have seventy percent of them let Li Cunhuan agree to sue for peace, but they will have to lose a lot of land. ”
A hint of hesitation flashed in Zhu Wen's eyes, and he asked, "What about the next step?" ”
Jing Xiang smiled bitterly: "The next strategy is to abandon Xuanwu, attack Guanzhong, and peek into the world according to Guanzhong!" However, Guanzhong has been fighting for many years, and the situation is ...... Ay! There is no room for optimism. ”
"Isn't it okay to tune Pang Shi Gu Shou Xuanwu?" Zhu Wen said unwillingly.
"Now Li Cunhuan has no less than 500,000 male soldiers under his command, that is, the army that attacked Hedong in the second half of the year did not go out this time, Li Cunhuan can completely transfer them out, and there will be an army of 100,000. After the 100,000 army went south to Tongpinglu and Yanhai defeated Yang Xingmi, they attacked Xuanwu. And Chitose led his troops back to the rescue, but he fell for Li Cunhuan's scheme. The area around Xuanwu is flat, and there are many cavalry troops in Lu Long's army, Li Cunhuan can completely wait for work and repeat the battle of encircling Wei to save Zhao! Jing Xiang smiled bitterly.
When Zhu Wen heard this, he hesitated, the strong man's broken arm was easy, but it was more painful to do than to kill himself.
