Chapter 698 all the way to the east

A sudden mutiny changed the flag of the tiger prison that was originally in danger and the big war was about to start.

And Chen Kefu's incomparably rich reward also made the defenders who were originally in a nervous, frightened and suspicious mood suddenly worried, and all that was left was full of ecstasy.

After bursts of cheers, the night shrouded in darkness finally gradually ended, and a touch of fish belly white appeared in the east, and the morning dawn came again.

In the white morning mist, Chen Kefu rode a purple horse with purple dew, under the guidance of the newly promoted Marquis Huang Junhan, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin of the Hebei Army, and Zhai Jiaojiao and Zhang Chuchen, who had just arrived from Jijun, as well as Feng Wan, who had been following him from Mengjin, as well as Niu Jinda, Yang Qian'an and others in the Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Kefu was outside the Tiger Prison Pass, on the plain by the Bishui River, accompanied by Chen Kefu to inspect the 10,000 Tiger Prison Army.

10,000 Wei troops who had just received a generous reward surrendered their troops and lined up on the banks of the Bishui River, although the weapons in everyone's hands were still in the pass, but everyone's faces could not see that they had just surrendered, but like a proud army that had just won a big battle and was being reviewed by the commander.

Riding on a horse, Chen Kefu watched all the way, this 10,000 Wei army is indeed the elite. All the soldiers were tall and mighty, and there was no impression that the rebels were old, young, sick, and weak, and their faces were hungry and yellow. Although when they left the city, Niu Jinda and others ordered the soldiers to leave all their weapons in the city in order to curry favor with him. But the bright light armor they wore on their bodies, as well as the flags held by the team, all showed that this was Li Mi's elite troops.

Xiongguan Tiger Prison, strong wall and high-rise building. Elite soldiers, strong armor and sharp swords.

Just from these details, Chen Kefu had already deduced in his heart that Li Mi had already intended to attack Hebei.

Last time, he was going to attack Jijun, but Wang Shichong happened to be victorious in Hedong, and he got a little carried away. As a result, Li Mi decisively gave up attacking Hebei for the time being, and immediately returned to the horse with a shot, killing Wang Shichong by surprise, sweeping away all the soldiers and horses in the eastern capital outside Luoyang, and besieging Luoyang.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, on the opposite side of Heyang in Hedong, where Wang Shichong was located, he built a solid Jin Yong City, and relied on the Yellow River and the two natural hazards of the Yellow River and the Bishan Mountains to establish a solid defense line.

At this time, seeing such a strong defense of the tiger prison east of Luoyang, Chen Kefu had already understood Li Mi's strategic arrangement.

This guy faced the solidity of Luoyang, the first city in the world, which was built by spending all the people, material resources, and financial resources of the whole world after Yang Guang ascended the throne, and did not plan to attack it. At that time, Yang Guang considered that the north and the south had just been reunified, and there was still a lot of estrangement between the north and the south, so he decided to build the national capital in Luoyang City, the center of the world, in the middle of the north and the south. In order to build Luoyang, the capital of the country in his heart, he took Yu Wenkai, the designer and builder of the elderly Chang'an Daxing City. Yu Wenkai died shortly after the construction of Luoyang, and before he died, he once said to Yang Guang, "Luoyang is unstoppable and can never be broken!" ”

Luoyang, the new capital that has consumed most of the country's strength, is no longer an ordinary city, nor is it an ordinary capital. Rather, it was a huge fortress that was both majestic and strong. In addition to the tallness and solidity of Luoyang City, Yuwenkai also set up various defensive depths around Luoyang. It can be said that with only manpower, even if it is besieged by a million troops, Luoyang City can hold on for more than ten years.

In fact, after Luoyang was completed, Yang Guang did not stay in Luoyang for long. Three expeditions to Liaodong, north patrol outside the fortress, south to Jiangdu, and then out of Yanmen. In the end, Yang Guang also died in Taiyuan and did not return to Luoyang.

After Luoyang was completed, Yang Xuangan attacked Luoyang when he raised his troops, and he was besieged for more than two months. …,

Li Mi besieged Luoyang, besieged for more than half a year and could not go down, after Wang Shichong entered Luoyang, Li Mi could not even break through Luoyang's outer defenses.

This time, Li Mi took advantage of Wang Shichong's defenselessness and took advantage of the fact that his army was in Hedong, and raided the outer defense depth around Luoyang, and the troops were under the city, but they were still helpless in the face of Luoyang.

On the basis of the history known to Chen Kefu, after Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, Li Yuan's troops in Guanzhong went out of the Central Plains, and for the first time, Li Shimin led a large army to Luoyang City, and finally returned in vain. For the last time, Li Shimin once again led his army to attack the Central Plains. Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's army of 100,000 with thousands of people in the Tiger Prison, but in the face of Luoyang City, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's army still had no way.

In the end, the city of Luoyang ran out of food, and Wang Shichong had to open the city and surrender to Li Tang.

In response to Yu Wenkai's words, the eastern capital of Luoyang cannot be urged and can never be broken. After Li Shimin took Luoyang, Luoyang was ruined, and the various fortress defenses established on the periphery had already been destroyed. Even the tall Luoyang city wall is broken in many places, and it has long lost the style of the first capital in the world and the first city in the world.

Li Mi had the experience of besieging Luoyang twice, so he chose the strategy of besieging but not attacking. Li Mi built Kim Yong Fortress in the northwest of Luoyang, and in the northeast, built and strengthened the Tiger Prison Fortress. His ambition has been revealed, Li Mi did not want to fight with Wang Shichong, he locked Wang Shichong north of the Yellow River, and left Yang Hui, who was also in the east of the river, to clean up Wang Shichong.

However, he hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Luoshui, and strengthened the cities along the line of Yanshi, Luokou Cangcheng, Tiger Prison, and Jindi, and built the already dangerous cities into fortresses. Its purpose was to go north to attack Jijun, join Wei Dao'er, and go north to compete with him Chen Kefu, intending to join forces with Wei Dao'er first, defeat him in Hebei, and then dominate the Central Plains.

It's just that Li Mi didn't expect that he would go west to Mengjin to ally with Wang Shichong this time.

He disrupted Li Mi's deployment, especially when he deliberately lured Li Mi to set up an ambush this time, so that Li Mi's original plan was all disrupted. Otherwise, there will be 50,000 elite troops in Jindi Pass, 50,000 elite troops in Hujiao Pass, and 50,000 elite troops in Luokou Cangcheng. With the 150,000 elite Wei troops in these three fortresses, Chen Kefu had no chance at all.

The morning mist is vast, and the breeze is light. After reviewing the 10,000 Wei troops who had just surrendered, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, and Luo Shixin also took Chen Kefu's order and quickly launched a formation of 15,000 Hebei soldiers on the plain by the Bishui River.

The cavalry is mighty, the people are like tigers, the horses are like dragons, and the momentum is magnificent. The black bright light knight armor reflected the faint light, and the unsheathed cavalry exclusive equipment slashing sword shone brightly and exuded a cold light.

The infantry were lined up in a neat phalanx of infantry, shield men with large shields, odd soldiers with spears and infantry armor, and melee jumpers with horizontal swords and light armor. and the rows of crossbowmen with their wielders at the back of the line, and the archers behind them.

A large metal shield as bright as a mirror, infantry armor composed of large stamped steel plates, sharp horizontal knives made of stainless steel, and light leather armor of melee infantry made of the finest animal skins and fine barbed wire. There is also a black machine that exudes a faint and cold light, and an exquisite infantry longbow produced by the Liaodong Ordnance Bureau.

The various weapons equipped by the soldiers of the Hebei Army made the defenders of the Tiger Prison who watched from the sidelines dazzled, and on the battlefield, a good armor and a sharp weapon at hand were the second life of the soldiers in many cases. Looking at these delicate and almost luxurious weapons of the Hebei army, as well as their armor comparable to that of the leaders and generals of the righteous army, these tiger defenders were both envious and jealous. I was still glad in my heart, glad that I had joined the Hebei Army, and I would be able to have these exquisite and sturdy armor, gorgeous and sharp swords in the future. …,

But after a while, when he was still amazed by the weapons in the hands of the Hebei army cavalry and infantry and the war horses that stepped down, he quickly turned into fear again.

At the end of the parade, groups of lightly armored soldiers dragged out one carriage after another. Then in front of them, these Hebei soldiers quickly unloaded piles of bits and pieces from the car, and under their watch, they quickly assembled one after another terrifying large equipment that made them both frightened and frightened.

Some of them know these devices, and some of them don't. What you know is a catapult, a crossbow bed, a battering ram, a cloud tower, a rushing car and other things. Even, those Hebei soldiers quickly assembled the ladders in front of them. Then, one by one, the iron boxes were also carried down from the wagon.

At first, no one knew what was in those iron boxes, but after a while, when they saw those Hebei soldiers take out all kinds of cloth bags, round balls and other strange things from those iron boxes, and then use catapults and other instruments to launch into the distance, and then they heard a burst of violent thunder, and the dust and flames rushing up from the sky, many tiger prison guards were already frightened. They finally knew what those were, and those were the legendary Liaodong Shenlei in the army.

The review of the two armies outside the gate lasted all morning, and it was not until the middle of the day that the review of the two armies was over. When they returned to the city, the Hebei soldiers were refreshed and proud.

And the Wei army, which had just surrendered, was originally surprised by the wonderful performance of the Hebei Army Engineer Battalion because of the joy of being richly rewarded. On the way back to the city, the Wei soldiers were all a little pale, and many soldiers turned their heads to look at the Hebei army from time to time, and their eyes were full of fear.

Chen Kefu saw all this in his eyes and was very satisfied in his heart. The review outside the city was his deliberate plan, although the Tiger Prison Pass was easily won. However, Chen Kefu was also a little worried about the Wei army from these righteous soldiers, and outside the city, he was unusually generous and bold to the Wei army, and awarded rich rewards.

However, Chen Kefu has long understood that just giving benefits sometimes does not necessarily achieve the desired results. As a superior person, the combination of grace and power is the best means. When giving the surrendered troops a rich reward, Chen Kefu immediately asked the Hebei Army to show their strength in front of the surrendered troops, and the strong combat power of the Hebei Army left an unforgettable impression on all the surrendered troops.

"Your Highness, when are we going back to Shiluokou?" Qin Qiongce immediately stepped forward and asked.

Chen Kefu glanced back at the direction of Luokou behind him, and finally shook his head, "No, we won't go back to Luokou, we will immediately go and capture Xingyang County Governance City!" ”——
