Chapter 10: The Strength of the Feather Is Better Than Fierce Poison (9)
How can it be!
Speculating on the speed of the enemy's reinforcements, can that woman even do such a thing?
Seeing that the support army was getting closer and closer to his side, and the soldiers under his command still failed to completely adjust the battle queue, Deng Bin was angry and anxious.
I was angry that I didn't take the woman's words to heart at all, so I only cared about talking with my colleagues, and didn't notice the fall of the support army in time; In a hurry, the reinforcements seemed to notice that their side was too reluctant to change formation temporarily, and the formation was chaotic, and they were speeding up and charging towards themselves.
To make matters worse, the rebels on the eastern wall of Luoyang also seemed to have noticed the arrival of their support army, and were preparing to lead their troops out of the city, flanking the front and rear.
"Please, catch up!" Looking at the enemy reinforcements who were only a mile away, Zheng Bin couldn't help but pray in a low voice.
The thought that he might be convicted for this incident afterwards made him sweat coldly.
And at this moment, Fei Guo, the commander of the battlefield on the east side, patted him on the shoulder and said lightly, "Our task is to lure the enemy, and induce Zhou Liang to lead the army to attack our side, therefore, there is nothing to care about!" - Don't forget, we're also going to be flanked back and forth! β
Speaking of this, he glanced at the distant forest in the east, intentionally or unintentionally, and he knew very well that in that dense forest, there was also a team of soldiers and horses, 4,000 spearmen led by Chen Gang, one of the four generals of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army and known as the invincible ghost general.
With this reminder from the funding country, the anxious look on Zheng Bin's face slowly receded, and he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. muttered, "General Fei didn't remind, the last general almost forgot ......" said, he looked at Zhou Liangjun, who was already close at hand, licked his lips and said, "Come on, come on, the mouth of the bag has been opened, come in obediently, General Zhou Liang, who is the fifth in the martial arts list in the fourteenth year of Hongwu!" β
-- At the same time, Zhou Liang's Bishan military camp reinforcements --
"General. The Zhou army on the east side of Luoyang has discovered us and waited! β
Wu Yue, the deputy general of the Bishan military camp, shouted towards his own commander Zhou Liang while marching rapidly.
"Don't care," Zhou Liang, who had already passed the year of standing, waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "At this rate, the Zhou army will not be able to change formation before our army arrives!" - Kill it! β
"Yes!"
ββAt the same time, the city wall on the east side of Luoyangββ
"Report! In the northeast corner, General Zhou Liang's reinforcements were found! β
"What? That's great! Wang Meng, the defender of the city wall on the east side of Luoyang, clasped his fists together and rushed to the edge of the city wall in a few steps. Look out outside the city.
I saw that Zhou Liang's reinforcements from the Bishan military camp rushed into Fei ** at a very fast speed. As a result, the two armies began to fight.
"Good! Good! Wang Meng slapped the city wall, waved his robe, strode down the city wall, and shouted, "Zhuang Fan, you come to defend the city!" Zhou Cheng and Qi Zhen, each of you will lead 2,000 foot soldiers and go out of the city with this general! β
"Will ...... Checkmate? The adjutant named Zhou Cheng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he clenched his fists and said. General Zhang Dong issued an order to defend the city and not to leave the city without authorization......"
"!" Wang Meng roared and scolded angrily, "The southern city wall has been beaten into a sieve, and now Zhou Liang led the army to come to help, which is a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory!" -- As long as this wave of Zhou troops can be swept away. Take advantage of the trend to the south and attack Liu Yijun from the side, you can recover the disadvantage of the southern city wall! β
"But the general ......"
"Shut up! Go out of town with General Ben! β
ββ¦β¦ Be! β
The east gate of Luoyang slowly opened. Wang Meng, the main general of the eastern city wall, took the lead and killed him, followed by Zhou Cheng, Qi Zhen and four thousand foot soldiers.
At this time, Fei ** was engaged in a bloody battle with Zhou Liangjun, and he didn't seem to notice that the city gate behind him was open, and a team of soldiers and horses was killed in the city, so that under the enemy's back, there was a tendency to rout.
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as what the woman said......" Hengdao immediately stood in the middle of the battlefield, Fei Guo glanced at the soldiers who were close to the city wall of Luoyang, and watched them being killed by the army led by Wang Meng.
Suddenly, a sneer rang out of his ear.
"What's the same?"
Fei Guo subconsciously turned his head, and then his eyes tightened, and he clearly saw a big knife slashing at him, and immediately raised the spear in his hand.
"Dang!"
The two fought hard and retreated a little.
Holding the spear upside down, Fei Guo pointed at it, frowned and shouted, "You, who are you?" β
The general chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Zhou Liang! β
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Liang raised the big knife in his hand again and slashed at Fei Guo, but was blocked by the latter with a spear.
"Are you the commander of the reinforcements?"
"Are you the commander of this land?"
With one hard fight after another, Fei Guo and Zhou Liang said in unison.
Licking his lips, Zhou Liang smiled, "It's really lucky, I found the main general ...... all of a sudden."
"No!" Shaking his head, Fei Guo said lightly, "If you meet me, you are unlucky!" β
"Hey! - How dare you say it! β
Between the chaotic battles between the two sergeants and soldiers around them, the two fought hard for more than ten rounds, but no one could help anyone.
This made Zhou Liang a little unbelievable, you know, he is the fifth in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, but right now, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat with a little-known general of the Western Expeditionary Army, which is really a blow to him.
"Bang Bang!"
With a metallic thud, the blades in the hands of the two collided together, wiping out a spark.
While exerting all his strength to suppress Fei Guo's spear, Zhou Liang laughed coldly, "Martial arts are good!" - What a pity......"
"It's a pity?"
"Ah, didn't you notice? Right now, but our army has the upper hand! β
"Oh? Really? Fei Guo showed a strange smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "I hope you can keep it, this upper hand ......"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Liang frowned slightly.
ββAt the same time, on the east wall of Luoyangββ
As the general who replaced Wang Meng in charge of the battle on the east city wall, Zhuang Fan was standing on the edge of the city wall. Watching the battle beneath the city intently.
Seeing that his main general Wang Meng cooperated with Zhou Liang's Bishan reinforcements, and the Zhou army was defeated and retreated from both sides, Zhuang Fan secretly applauded in his heart.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed to the city wall.
"Report! -- The Zhou army on the northeast side, Li Jingqu's department, is rushing towards this place in a roundabout way! β
"What?" Zhuang Fan's face changed slightly, and he muttered, "Then did Li Jing notice General Zhou Liang's reinforcements?" But isn't that guy making a feint attack on the northern wall? The north city wall where this person is located is more than ten miles away from here, how could he come so quickly? It shouldn't be......"
He rubbed his forehead in disbelief. Zhuang Fan looked deeply at Wang Meng and the other four thousand soldiers who had entered the hinterland of Fei **, and muttered to himself with a shocked face, "It's not good, if you go on like this, you will be surrounded in turn...... What exactly is General Tao Xian of the North City Wall doing? How can you sit back and watch Li Jing lead the army away?! β
Zhuang Fan clenched his fists.
However, he also knew that it was just his anger, in view of the general Zhang Dong's order to defend Luoyang, in the absence of any good opportunity, the rebel general in charge of the northern city wall, Tao Xian. How can they leave the city so easily?
In his opinion, Li Jingneng led the army to leave on his own initiative. Naturally, the best thing to do, how could it be possible to lead the army out of the city again and lead the enemy army at the end?
At this moment, a soldier who was watching from the city wall suddenly changed his face and shouted, "General...... General, another Zhou army sprang out from the forest outside the city, and it was attacking behind General Zhou Liang......"
"W-What?" Zhuang Fan's complexion changed greatly, and he rushed to the side of the city wall in a few steps. Stared wide-eyed at the battle outside the city.
While he was stunned, Li Jing, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, who was in charge of the northern battlefield, had already led his 10,000 deployments to the eastern battlefield, while another army led by Chen Gang came out from behind Zhou Liang's army.
So much so that nearly 20,000 soldiers such as Wang Meng and Zhou Liang, who originally surrounded Fei**, were surrounded by the Western Expeditionary Army in turn.
"How...... How so? Zhuang Fan looked incredulous. He said, "Quick! Send troops and horses again to aid General Wang Meng......"
"But the general ......"
"Hugh has to take care of General Zhang Dong's orders! -- If General Wang Meng and General Zhou Liang are defeated, my Luoyang East City Wall will be completely finished! β
"But the General. Li Jingyi of the Zhou army has lined up outside the city, blocking the way for our army to aid General Wang Meng, even if he reluctantly leads the army out of the city, he can't rush through! ββ It will even be taken advantage of the situation by the Zhou army to enter the city, resulting in the complete loss of the East City! β
"How could it be ......" Zhuang Fan looked out of the city in disbelief, and he noticed that Li Jingyi, who was in charge of the northern battlefield of the Zhou army, was divided into two after coming to the eastern battlefield, one part of which counter-surrounded Wang Meng and Zhou Liang's army, while the other part set up a thousand-person phalanx outside the three city gates on the east side of Luoyang.
"How so?"
Seeing that the formation of his own army outside the city was in chaos, and he was attacked from both sides by the Zhou army of the Western Expedition, Zhuang Fan hugged his head in disbelief.
"Ahh
"Back, back......"
"...... ahead"
Listening to the exclamations and screams of his own army outside the city, Zhuang Fan gritted his teeth in pain, watching them be divided and surrounded by the Zhou army, and then killed.
Zhou Cheng died in battle......
Qi Zhen died in battle......
General Wang Meng was also killed in battle......
When he saw that the first soldier of his own side dropped his soldiers and chose to surrender, Zhuang Fan realized that the east city wall was completely finished......
No, it should be said that the whole of Luoyang is completely finished......
Zhuang Fan silently looked at the defenders on the surrounding city walls, as he expected, after seeing the terrible, hellish scene under the city, the morale of the defenders in the city fell to a low point......
Although there are still at least six or seven thousand defenders on the east wall of Luoyang, what is the use of that, the Zhou army outside the city will crush the army of Wang Meng and Zhou Liang with as many as 30,000 people in a quarter of an hour.
Ah, it's over......
At the moment when the main general was killed in battle and the morale of the soldiers fell to a low point, the Zhou army outside the city only needed one wave of offensive to take the east city wall......
Why is this happening?
It's a great opportunity! General Zhou Liang led the army to help, and General Wang Meng took advantage of the situation to kill out of the city, and attacked the Zhou army back and forth......
Why, why did it fall into this situation?
Muttering to himself, Zhuang Fan felt that the strength of his whole body seemed to be out of his body, and he slowly knelt down on the city wall, his head banging against the wall.
Calculated......
ββAt the same time, outside the east city wall of Luoyangββ
"It's so easy!"
Throw the head of a rebel general to the soldier behind him. Chen Gang looked at the corpses everywhere, as well as the rebels who had lost their fighting spirit.
"It's a little hard to imagine how easy it is...... Didn't you expect that in the same forest, there are actually two armies of soldiers and horses? β
Chen Gang, who was not good at thinking, reached out and scratched his hair, carried his long-handled sharp knife that was still dripping with blood, and walked forward.
Not far ahead, Fei Guo, the main general of the battlefield on the east side of Luoyang, was silently looking at the corpse that fell at his feet.
It was the corpse of Zhou Liang, a rebel general.
"Martial arts are good. General Fei ......" Chen Gang looked at Fei Guo with some surprise, after all, for that Zhou Liang, Chen Gang also heard that he was a rare fierce general, but from the current uninjured body of Fei Guo, this general called Fei Guo, his martial arts are far above that Zhou Liang.
"Vice General Chen has won the award, and the last general is ashamed!"
"Huh!" Chen Gang smiled faintly and glanced up and down at Fei Guo.
This guy ......
There are no injuries at all......
It was obviously used as a bait, and was flanked by two rebels. In such a scuffle, this guy didn't even get hurt in the slightest......
He glanced at the shallow scars on his left hand and abdomen. Chen Gang smiled noncommittally.
In the melee of tens of thousands of people, this guy seems to be at ease......
From the Sipin guerrilla battalion to the general Fei Guo...... Is it?
Maybe it was a little uncomfortable to be stared at by Chen Gang, Fei Guo coughed, clenched his fists and said, "Vice General Chen, everything is according to what Changsun Junshi said, the last general thinks that the defenders in the city have lost their fighting spirit, right now." It is a great opportunity to seize Luoyang! I don't know what Vice General Chen means......"
"General Fei is the main general of this land, this kind of thing, General Fei just has an idea!" As he spoke, Chen Gang patted Fei Guo's shoulder and shook off the sharp knife in his hand that was still dripping with blood.
"Yes! Then the general had the courage to give the order......" As he spoke, Fei Guo clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Pointing to the east city wall of Luoyang, he said, "Surrender the prisoners to the deployment and custody of Deputy General Chen, and our army is ready to attack the city!" ββConvey to General Li Jing, please General Li Jing and our army join forces to attack the city! β
"Yes!"
-- At the same time. The high slope five miles away from Luoyangββ
"I see......"
Looking at the battle on the eastern wall of Luoyang City with a monocular, Xie An held the telescope's hand and trembled slightly.
He clearly saw that in the face of the joint offensive of Fei ** and Li Jingjun, the defenders on the eastern city wall of Luoyang showed a situation of collapse at the touch of a button, so that in the first wave of offensive, they were attacked by the Zhou army of the Western Expedition.
This woman has a really bad personality!
Turning his head, Xie An silently looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
In the southern city wall, when Zhang Dong transferred the reserve army to boost the morale of the defenders of the city, this woman used several rounds of arrows from a cavalry archer, completely destroying the morale of the defenders of the city.
In the east city wall, when the rebel Zhou Liang led the army to help, thus boosting the morale of the defenders in the city, this woman repeated her old tricks and planned to do what she planned, and in turn surrounded Zhou Liang's reinforcements and the unknown fierce general who killed out of the city, once again buried the morale of the defenders on the east city wall of Luoyang......
While the other party sees hope, give absolute despair!
What could be more devastating than this?
Seeing that the friendly troops under the city were slaughtered, the morale of the defenders on the east city wall at this moment may have fallen to a low point, even if Fei Guo and others took advantage of the situation to take the entire section of the city wall, it would not be a difficult task.
This woman's means of playing with people's hearts is simply shocking!
"Is this the method of attacking the heart and mind that you pursue, deterrence? ββIs this what you mean by creating a flaw if there is no flaw? β
Xie An asked in a heavy tone.
At this moment, he has completely realized the terrible woman, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, with outstanding talent, extraordinary wisdom, and insight into people's hearts......
It's no wonder that even Wu is extremely jealous of her, it turns out that she is not just afraid of her identity......
"What do you think?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said lightly, "If you use that perfect culture, I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer it in three months, but the deterrence and attack strategy pursued by my eldest grandson Xiangyu can take Luoyang in one day!" β
"But thousands of people were sacrificed...... You have used the 10,000-strong army of Fei Guo as a pawn to lure the enemy! β
"Didn't I say it, if it's a battlefield, it's bound to die, it's inevitable, and trying to win the entire war without blood is tantamount to a fool's dream! -- Even if that kind of thing exists, it won't happen frequently, otherwise, what else would the army do? Wouldn't it be enough to find a few pedantic scribes during the war? β
Listening to her disapproving tone, Xie An didn't know why, a little uncomfortable feeling surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "What is your life?" β
"......" Eldest Sun Xiangyu frowned and glanced at Xie An, and chuckled, "Oh, after sleeping with Sister Wu for a few nights, did you learn all her set?" - Human life? Cluck! No matter how much she loves soldiers like a son, she can't hide the fact that during the battlefield in northern Hebei, more than half of the casualties of the Eastern Army were lost! ββDon't you think it's hypocritical to say that the lives of the soldiers are as valuable as ten thousand gold, and at the same time to ask the soldiers under their command to fight against a strong enemy? -- How can there be any way to win without killing a single soldier? β
Originally, Xie An was just a little uncomfortable in his heart, but now that he saw that the eldest Sun Xiangyu pointed the finger at Liang Qiu Wu, and his words were so unbearable, he couldn't help but be a little angry, frowned, and defended Liang Qiu Wu, "It's not your turn to talk about her!" - Dance is very hard, never stop practicing martial arts in the morning and evening, no matter how busy the military affairs are......"
"So what?" Eldest Sun Xiangyu interrupted Xie An's words with a sneer, a somewhat contemptuous smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "Can she deal with a force of 10,000 people alone?" β
Xie An knew what the eldest grandson Xiangyu wanted to express, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "Yes, it is impossible for Wu to deal with 10,000 troops alone, and she has to rely on the soldiers under her command, but she is working hard, you can't ignore the process of her efforts......"
"Huh! I remember you once said to me that the process of hard work is more important than the result, but in my opinion, if the result is not satisfactory, what is the use of the process as motivating? -- Becoming a king and defeating a thief, this is the truth of this world! β
"You!"
"Unless that woman is strong enough to handle an army on her own, it's useless to say anything! - When she is so strong, let's preach to my eldest grandson Xiangyu again! β
"You ...... guy"
"Also, who underestimated Sister Mai? - Say that the process is more important than the result, it's just an excuse for the weak to talk about masturbation, Sister Wu is one of the few women in the slave family who is regarded as a fierce rival, Xie An, don't belittle her! β
"You even said I belittled her?" Although Xie An was angry, he had no way to refute it.
"Giggles," glancing at the sullen Xie An, the eldest grandson Xiangyu raised the folding fan in his hand, pointed to Luoyang in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "It's time for the end!" -- Put up all the flags of red, white, black, green and earth, and let Liu Yi's team attack the city! Before sunset, take Luoyang! β
"Yes!"
At the same time, on the far west side, more than 200 miles away from Luoyang, there was a general wearing the armor of the Southern Army, leading several light cavalry guards, and was hurrying in the direction of Luoyang and Yanshi......
