Chapter 513: Win for a while
Soon after, Han Sui came in a hurry. Greeted with a salute. Huang Yueying immediately said something, and then ordered. Han Sui was very shocked, didn't ask in detail, and hurriedly went down.
……
The merchant fleet that had just entered the wharf, the guy boss unloaded the goods, and gathered next to the goods, there were five or six thousand people, although there were many people, but it was not so eye-catching on the wharf in Luoyang. Several of the bosses and porter leaders on the docks came to talk, and some of the assistants of the merchant fleet owners stopped them and talked to them, asking them questions, but they did not answer the other party's questions, nor did they let them come and talk to the boss......
A tough young man ran to the boss's side, clasped his fists and whispered: "Boss, it's all ready!" The boss nodded and said, "Enter the city immediately." The young man answered, and went down to greet him. The five or six thousand men moved, carrying the goods that had just been brought down, and went to the gate of the city. Thousands of people are mighty, like a swimming dragon. However, the people on the ground in Luoyang are used to seeing big scenes, and a large caravan of this scale can be seen a few times, but they are curious about where this caravan came from, and they have inquired, but no one recognizes it.
The caravan approached the city gate, and the boss whispered an order: "It's all ready!" Obey my commands, and no one shall act rashly! ”
The procession came under the city gates.
The boss personally stepped forward to greet the officer who guarded the door: "Master Jun." ”
The officer walked past the boss, walked to the front of the group, looked at it, and asked, "What are you loading?" ”
The boss replied, "It's all tea, silk and porcelain." Then he approached the officer, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, quietly stuffed it into the officer's hand, and said with a smile: "The military master has a lot of forbearance, the tea and silk are afraid of moisture, and the porcelain is fragile, so be accommodating and don't open the box for inspection." ”
The officer hurriedly stuffed the silver ingot into his arms and said with a smile: "You are a good boss, you don't want other bosses to be so stingy!" Let's go inside. The boss was overjoyed, thanked him for his kindness, and greeted his subordinates: "It's in the city!" The team restarted, squeaking and pushing the carts into the first gate one after another.
Entering the first city gate does not mean entering Luoyang. This Luoyang is the world's premier metropolis, and was once the capital of the Han Dynasty, so not only the city is high and the river is wide, but also the city gates are built with urn cities, and the urn city is so big that it can almost catch up with the general small county town.
When the team entered the urn city, the boss secretly ordered each team to prepare to start.
The team watched as they approached the second gate.
I saw that the sergeants and officers who were guarding the gate suddenly ran into the city gate, and then the heavy iron gate fell with a clang! Before the boss and the others could react, they heard the same loud bang behind them. The boss hurriedly turned around, and saw that the iron gate of the city gate behind him had also been lowered, and Shengsheng cut his team into two sections, half trapped in the urn city, and half trapped outside the city.
The boss was shocked and exclaimed, "Not good! Hit the trick! ”
As soon as the words fell, thousands of soldiers suddenly appeared on all sides of the urn city, bending their bows and shooting arrows to rain arrows, and rolling stones and trees flew down indiscriminately. The Cao army in the urn city had nowhere to hide, and they were shot down by random arrows, smashed by rolling stones and wood, and made a mess; At the same time, outside the city is also like arrows raining down, rolling stones and wood hail like beckoning, Cao Jun suffered a lot of casualties, hurriedly retreated, those pedestrians and merchants suddenly saw such a scene, all frightened to death, they left the official road to run wildly, ghosts cry wolves, and the wharf in the distance saw the sudden battle on this side of the city, and they were also frightened to run around.
After about a meal, the two or three thousand Cao soldiers trapped in the urn city, the corpses densely covered with the ground, squirming with difficulty and letting out a mournful sound; Countless feathered arrows were stuck in the ground, and when I looked over, I saw a white arrow feather, as if a layer of white dead leaves had fallen; Below, the plasma stained the entire ground with sauce.
The two or three thousand Cao troops outside the city lost a third, and the rest retreated to the docks. At this time, half of the originally busy dock had disappeared, and it was as quiet as a wild field.
Cao Jun saw that the defenders were also prepared, and did not dare to attack again, so they lined up on the spot, and at the same time sent a message downstream, about half an hour later, the river was overwhelmed, and countless buildings and ships covered the sky and pressed the river.
Huang Yueying, accompanied by Han Sui and others, hurriedly climbed the city gate tower, looked into the distance, and saw that the enemy army was at its peak, and couldn't help but be shocked. Han Sui couldn't help but say: "Look at this posture, Cao Jun's 200,000 sailors are only afraid that they are all here!" Then he said with some annoyance: "Isn't there a garrison in the Tiger Prison Pass?" How come there is no news? ”
Huang Yueying said: "Now is not the time to pursue this!" Turning his head, he said to a few male and female staff members who were almost frightened and weak: "Immediately contact all the departments, gather young people to help defend the city, and open the arsenal to take out all the armor and ordnance and scatter them to everyone!" The middle staff responded, and rushed down.
Han Sui looked around and whispered to Huang Yueying: "Miss, there are more than 6,000 defenders here, and in the face of the enemy's 200,000 troops, it is simply hitting a stone with an egg!" Although civilians can be conscripted, and there are many civilians, these rabble are of little use at all, and this city cannot be defended no matter what! ……”
Huang Yueying already understood what Han Sui meant, looked at the river in the distance and said lightly: "Since the eldest brother handed over Luoyang to me, he can't lose it in my hands!" I have made up my mind to live and die with Luoyang! The city is in the people, and the city is in the fall! Han Sui was stunned, and couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, and couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "Since Miss wants to live and die with the city, how can there be a reason for the eight-foot man to retreat!" ”
Huang Yueying shook her head, "The general doesn't have to be like this, if the city is undefendable, he will have to worry about the general leading the army to protect the treasury and the money to break through!" These billions of money are related to whether the eldest brother can turn defeat into victory in the future, and it is more important than my life and this city! Then he instructed: "The general immediately selects a trustworthy confidant to load all the money in the treasury, waits for orders, and once the matter is urgent, he will immediately go out of the west gate and retreat to Guanzhong." ”
Han Sui said: "If Miss escorts the silver money, I will guard the city." ”
Huang Yueying shook her head, "It's better for me to stay!" Han Sui saw that Huang Yueying insisted, so he promised and ran down the city wall.
……
The main fleet sailed into the dock one after another, and half of the soldiers and nearly 100,000 people unloaded onto the dock like a torrent that opened the gate. The armies formed a whole team under the greeting of their respective generals, and Zhang Jaw stepped off the handsome ship surrounded by the generals and his own soldiers, and several generals who failed to sneak attack hurriedly came forward to pay respects.
