Chapter 454: Thousands of Miles of Scarlet Luoyang
Before Pang Tong and the others rushed to the city lord's office. Ah Niu contacted the fat dragon baby, although in this case the fat dragon baby has no power to return to the sky, but a certain city lord wants to at least know the reason from the fat dragon baby, why did the Yellow Turban Army operate on such a large scale, and he didn't get a little wind beforehand?
It's not that Ah Niu thinks that the fat dragon baby has ambushed him in this matter.
In private, although Ah Niu and the fat dragon baby have not interacted much, Ah Niu is confident that the fat dragon baby is not the kind of villain who is scheming and two-faced. Of course, the reason for this is not an important criterion for Ah Niu to judge whether the fat dragon baby is deliberately hidden, and the battle between forces is never suitable for involving personal feelings, and a certain city lord is still quite clear.
Yu Gong, the alliance between the two has been systematically notarized, and it is still the most severe kind, and it is impossible for the fat dragon baby to deliberately know about it and not report it. At present, Fengxiang and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have a good cooperation, and the fat dragon baby is still waiting for a certain city lord to help fight for the leadership of the Yellow Turban Army. Unless the fat dragon baby's brain is burned out, it is impossible to do such a self-destructive thing on the Great Wall!
"More than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops besieged Luoyang? Or from the east, south, and north directions? As Niu expected, the fat dragon baby was inexplicably shocked by such a situation.
With the total strength of the Yellow Turbans in the country of several million, it is not difficult to mobilize such a number of Yellow Turban Army, but it is difficult to mobilize without leaking any rumors, the facts show. The Yellow Turbans did it. The most surprising thing for the fat dragon baby is that according to Ah Niu, the Yellow Turban Army is divided into three clusters and kills outside Luoyang City almost at the same time, if it is just the same force dividing the troops, it is easy to understand, but it is more likely that this is a big operation by many Yellow Turban Army forces!
I was kept in the dark and didn't know anything!
If this is the case, there is only one explanation: I was ostracized and very strict.
The fat dragon baby has realized that the problem with the stricter zhΓ²ng is that it is difficult for him to explain this matter to Ah Niu. In other words, if you are suddenly subjected to such a big change, you may not be able to calmly clear your mind and make the most correct judgment.
Taking a deep breath, the fat dragon baby said in a tone as gentle as possible: "Ah Niu, whether you believe it or not, I really don't know about this matter." β
A certain city lord stared at the fat dragon baby, and after five seconds, "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have spoken to you like this." This matter still needs the baby's help to investigate, to see what the actual situation is, why did the troops outside Luoyang City think of attacking Luoyang? β
The fat dragon baby breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood gradually calmed down, even if there was no reminder from Ah Niu, it was impossible for the baby to give up the spy on this operation, not to mention that the two were still allies? After thinking about it for a while, the fat dragon baby said:
"I'll do it right away. Also, now that Luoyang City is facing such a large-scale attack, what is Ah Niu going to do? It's almost impossible to hold on, and I personally think it's best to take a step back and avoid its edge. The failure of the reconstruction mission is better than Feng Xiang's broken muscles and bones! But if Ah Niu insists on not wanting to retreat, I can send troops to Luoyang, and secretly help your people retreat safely if necessary. β
The fat dragon baby buried his head and said with some shame: "Ah Niu knows that in this case, it is impossible for my troops to confront the other Yellow Turban Army head-on......"
The fat dragon baby is the leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, although it is secretly allied with Feng Xiang, but this alliance is top secret, and on the surface, the two families are still incompatible. If the alliance is exposed, not only will the fat dragon baby's desire to unite the national Yellow Turban Army come to naught, but the mutiny of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will only be a matter of time.
Losing his current power and identity, the fat dragon baby was immediately beaten back to its original form, which was also not in Feng Xiang's long-term interests.
"I understand, you should send someone to inquire about the situation first, I don't know why the Yellow Turban Army attacked Luoyang on a large scale, it is difficult for me to make the most appropriate response." A certain city lord said lightly.
"Okay, I'll tell you right away if there's news!"
After ending the communication with the fat dragon baby, Mo Feng had already carried Ah Niu to the city lord's office, turned over and dismounted, there was no trace of the small fish in the office, and a certain city lord sat there quietly alone, thinking without saying a word.
Two minutes later, the light at the door of the office dimmed, and Wang Yue's figure suddenly appeared in the office, this grandmaster-level martial artist's skills were always so good. Wang Yue saw Ah Niu's solemn expression, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he asked with concern: "Fourth brother, what's wrong?" β
Ah Niu raised his head and glanced at Wang Yue, "Big brother sit down first, and you'll know later." β
Although Wang Yue was full of suspicion, Ah Niu's love was so low, he didn't continue to ask. Take care of yourself and sit down next to you.
Wang Yue's doubts didn't last long, and after Pang Tong came, a certain city lord spoke.
When he was notified by the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion, Pang Tong was in the intelligence center, very close to the city lord's office, so he was the second to arrive. He was about to salute Ah Niu, but was interrupted by Ah Niu's raised hand, "Ten minutes ago, I received an urgent summons from Luoyang, no less than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops have arrived ten miles outside Luoyang City, and they will attack early tomorrow morning at the latest. β
"What?"
Pang Tong exclaimed in surprise, Wang Yue stood up even more, both of them knew the military strength of Luoyang, five thousand troops, and only Zhao Yun's one thousand cavalry could withstand the heavy pressure, how could they fight against the Yellow Turban Army of more than 100,000?
"Fourth brother, is the situation serious?" Wang Yue, who has always been calm and calm, is also distracted, Feng Xiang's garrison in Luoyang, there are Liu Xing and Zhao Yun, two sworn brothers, how can Wang Yue not be in a hurry!
A certain city lord nodded and said slowly: "What is coming from Luoyang is only preliminary news, and many of them have yet to be further confirmed, and the situation may be worse." The Yellow Turban Army surrounded Luoyang City from the east, south, and north, and although there was no movement in the west for the time being, it should only be a matter of time before the Yellow Turban Army divided its troops and encircled it, and according to my estimates, even if our brothers in Luoyang want to retreat now, I am afraid there is not much chance. β
While speaking, Gao Shun, Xu Niu (Xu Rong), Sun Liang and others rushed to arrive, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were not able to arrive for the time being because they were stationed in Terai Town. After a certain city lord briefly recounted the general situation again, there was a dead silence in the office.
Sun Liang's face was pale; Although Wang Yue had regained his calm, the continuous flow of light in his eyes let everyone know that this legendary figure among martial artists had been really angry; Gao Shun's expression was still resolute, and his fists were clenched too tightly to guide the white knuckles; However, Xu Rong seemed to be fine, after being resurrected, except for being as well-behaved as a little pug in front of Xiaoyu, most of the rest of the time was "not happy with things." Don't be sad", except for Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu's request for "unconditional obedience", this guy will not care about anyone's life and death.
A certain city lord looked at Pang Tong, who had been silent, "We don't have time to waste, we must make a decision immediately whether to fight or withdraw." If we want to retreat, start a minute earlier, and our people in Luoyang will have one more chance of success. Shi Yuan, tell me your opinion. β
Except for the Chen Palace in Liangzhou, only Pang Tong, a strategist, is in the territory, and now only Pang Tong's opinion can influence Ah Niu's thoughts. Ah Niu himself is unwilling to give up Luoyang, but he never wants to let Fengxiang boys bleed innocently because of his stubbornness, especially in Luoyang, where Zhao Yun, Liu Xing, Lu Zhi and others are there.
At this time, Pang Tong's opinion will be decisive.
At this point, Pang Tong knows very well that his words will determine the life and death of many people, many of whom are villagers he knows. Pang Tong's pressure can be imagined.
Fighting, let's not discuss whether it can be defended, under the attack of the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, it means that Feng Xiang will pay heavy sacrifices. When you fail, all your efforts will be in vain.
withdraw, then Fengxiang's task of rebuilding Luoyang will end here, and a large amount of manpower and financial resources invested before have been wasted. Besides, even if you want to quit now, I'm afraid it's not so easy to do.
Pang Tong slowly raised his head, his ugly face was unprecedentedly solemn, in addition to solemnity, there was more of a faint sadness and sadness. Ah Niu has never seen Pang Tong, who has always been optimistic, like this, and Pang Tong knows how to enjoy the beauty of life. Most of the time he was very happy, and Ah Niu understood that Pang Tong already had his own judgment.
"Hit."
Pang Tong's words are very direct and straightforward, this typing also means that the land of Luoyang will be stained red with blood, and countless people will die in Luoyang!
Wang Yue and Gao Shun's eyes brightened even more, and they exhaled a long breath, as Feng Xiang's warriors, they never wanted to see Feng Xiang retreat lightly under the persecution of the enemy, Feng Xiang has a glorious war history, and Feng Xiang has never succumbed under the pressure of the enemy, not once!
Even if the enemy is outnumbered, even if there is a disparity in strength, Feng Xiang's man's blood will not cool down so easily, Feng Xiang's dignity and honor need sword and blood to defend!
A certain city lord frowned and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang City only has five thousand soldiers. Among them, the combat effectiveness of 4,000 friendly troops is not optimistic, and they may not even be able to defeat our Shanzi battalion. β
"Yes." Pang Tong replied.
"Although we have not lost a single battle against the Yellow Turbans in the past, we have never encountered an enemy of this magnitude." Ah Niu's voice was extremely indifferent, and he said word by word.
"Yes." Pang Tong's voice was equally indifferent.
"In the past, when we fought against the Yellow Turban Army, most of us relied on the lethality of the Great Yellow Crossbow of the First Dead Soldier, so that the Yellow Turban Army was severely damaged before the battle. But in Luoyang, we only have 1,000 cavalry, and 4,000 friendly troops with low combat effectiveness, and we have no advantage in long-range firepower, which has always been our greatest advantage and reliance. β
"Yes."
"In the past, we fought on the territory near the territory, and we had the advantage of logistics, but Luoyang was different. In Luoyang, our warriors can't even get the attribute bonuses of the title of Territory. β
"Yes."
"Also, most of Luoyang City is still in ruins, and there are no fortifications except for the city walls and a few arrow towers. The width of the city wall is by no means comparable to the wall of our Fengxiang City, and in the case of a full-scale attack by the Yellow Turban Army, it is impossible for five thousand people to hold the city wall for long. β
"Yes."
"Even if we immediately send troops to reinforce Luoyang, the fastest force to arrive is only a thousand cavalry of the Thunder Cavalry, and it will take at least three days to fly from Long to Luoyang. In three days, Luoyang may not be able to survive, maybe the Yellow Turban Army can break the city in one day. β
"Yes."
"Then you still advocate fighting?" Ah Niu's voice suddenly became stern, and he glared at Pang Tong coldly.
Pang Tong's clear eyes looked at Ah Niu, not giving an inch. He understood that Ah Niu was not against his own opinion, but only objectively reproduced all the situations and all the difficulties, so as not to make mistakes in judgment.
Any tiny mistake can mean the loss of countless lives!
"Yes."
A certain city lord seemed to have lost the interest in talking more, and two words popped out from between his teeth, "Reason." β
"For the dignity and reputation of Fengxiang, for the long-term interests of Fengxiang, and for the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Fengxiang to stand tall in front of the world, we must fight! Judging from the situation that the lord said, even if our people in Luoyang want to retreat without a fight, the chance of success is less than one percent. Of course, if we abandon our craftsmen and people in Luoyang City, the chance of success may be fifty percent. β
Pang Tong's meaning is very clear, and now it is not up to Feng Xiang to decide if he wants to retreat with his whole body. Under the siege of more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, even if Feng Xiang was willing to give up the task, he could not bring out the craftsmen and villagers of Luoyang City. If you decisively cut off your tail to survive and keep Zhao Yun, Liu Xing, Lu Zhi and others and the troops stationed in Luoyang, the name of Fengxiang City Lord "Renhou" will be completely lost, such a reputation seems to have no direct benefits, but in the past history, it has always played a role in promoting Fengxiang's exhibition. What is certain is that if Feng Xiang abandons the car to protect the handsome and ignores the people of Luoyang, a certain city lord will inevitably change from a "benevolent gentleman" to a "coward" and a "cold-blooded demon".
The people cannot be abandoned lightly, and there is only one final result: the Luoyang troops evacuated to cover the people, and all the people were martyred!
Since you can't retreat, you can only give it a go!
"Just for the sake of so-called dignity, in the face of a war that is impossible to win, do we have to let our Fengxiang's children sacrifice in vain?" Ah Niu's tone was even more indifferent.
"Nope. We don't have all the opportunities! Pang Tong said firmly.
A certain city lord didn't ask any further, in fact, as early as when Wang Yue arrived at the city lord's office, Ah Niu had the determination to fight to the death. The task of rebuilding Luoyang, Ah Niu will not give up until the last resort, not to mention that in the reasons stated by Pang Tong just now, there is no mention of the interests of the reconstruction task at all, and there is a key point that has been ignored by a certain city lord: Feng Xiang's prestige.
- Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Ah Niu has not yet thought that he has the destiny of the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible in the game. But Fengxiang can show the scale it has now, attract so many people and talents, gain the recognition of so many NPC characters, and receive a series of tasks such as rebuilding Luoyang, almost none of which are not affected by prestige.
This is a bloody battle that is destined to be tragic before it has even begun, whether the Fengxiang soldiers have the determination to fight to the death has a crucial impact on the success or failure of this battle, therefore, Ah Niu did not immediately draw conclusions, his eyes left Pang Tong, and a certain city lord asked Wang Yue, Gao Shun and others: "What do you think?" β
"Hit!" Wang Yue didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Feng Xiang can't be bullied!" Gao Shun said solemnly.
As for Xu Rong, he still looked like he was in a flurry and didn't react at all. This famous military strategist of the Three Kingdoms era, after his resurrection, has lost most of his emotions and judgment, and there is no need to ask for his opinion at all, just give orders directly.
Ah Niu's pupils contracted, and he slapped his palm on the table, shaking the teacup on the table "buzzing", and stood up and said: "Okay, we Fengxiang haven't fought for a long time, and many people have forgotten the prestige of Fengxiang's soldiers, so let the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang continue the legend of our Fengxiang's undefeated!" β
After making a decision, the next important task was to send reinforcements, and Feng Xiang's war plane was quickly activated. At this time, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin also came out of breath, and Lu Han, who had gone out to inspect the dependent territories, arrived almost at the same time as them, and Pang Tong briefly briefed them on the situation in Luoyang.
The time in the game is almost dusk.
"Big brother, this time I'm going to trouble you to run in person." Ah Niu smiled lightly.
Wang Yue nodded and did not speak. Even if Ah Niu doesn't let him go, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop this grandmaster-level martial artist, the two brothers are in extreme danger, how can Wang Yue sit still in Fengxiang?
"All the Dark Flower troops are dispatched, and the junior martial artists are only left with enough manpower to maintain the curfew and patrols, and rush to Luoyang as quickly as possible, and go out immediately!"
"Okay." Wang Yue stood up and disappeared from the office in a blink of an eye.
Subsequently, it was the emergency transfer of Fengxiang's troops, and the news that Luoyang was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army gradually came out, which became known to more and more Fengxiang villagers, and many villagers were worried about Luoyang's children and villagers, and the people in the territory were angry. Everyone understands that this will be an incomparably cruel war, and it is still unknown how many of the soldiers who went out to fight will come back alive.
However, the soldiers and civilians of Fengxiang understood that the city lord did not give up the people of Luoyang, and Fengxiang City took out the most powerful military force. In order to rescue the trapped compatriots and siblings, everyone's blood boiled, and the faces of the soldiers could not see the slightest fear, only fearlessness and firmness!
Countless villagers are on the long street that runs through the east and west gates of Fengxiang City, seeing off the soldiers who went out, some people are holding a few hard-boiled eggs in their hands, and some are carrying a large basket of fruits. Many of the villagers, who were late to the news, did not have time to go home to get their food, and rushed to the taverns, inns, and fruit stands to buy things, but they were disappointed, and these things were either sold out or the shopkeepers had already acted before them.
"Come on, young man!"
"Let those rabbit cubs know that our Fengxiang people are powerful!"
"Beat them hard, beat them in the ass!"
"Feng Xiang can't be bullied, Feng Xiang will win!"
In the end, everyone was shouting "Feng Xiang can't be bullied, Feng Xiang will win!" Hoarse and tearful, even the most gentle female NPCs and always the most personable talents became agitated by the fact that their fathers, uncles, brothers, friends, husbands, or fiancΓ©s were among the warriors who went on the march.
The sound of the mountains roaring and the tsunami-like roar and cheers resounded in the sky in Fengxiang City, and many adventure players who lived temporarily in Fengxiang City were dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, why are Feng Xiang's NPCs so crazy?"
"Did Zheng Aniu brainwash them? What a terrible territory! β
"O wickedness, fanatical worship, blind faith......"
Many adventurers have strengthened their belief, "Never be an enemy of Feng Xiang, this is a territory where everyone is united, and everyone has the consciousness of fighting desperately for Feng Xiang!" It's horrible! β
The soldiers who went out on the expedition were just marching, and Fengxiang's troops had strict military discipline, no one stopped, no one spoke, and no one accepted the hearts of the villagers. Some of the disappointed villagers even cried bitterly, "Take it, take it, don't be hungry on the road!" β
"At this time, you haven't had dinner yet, let's eat some hot food first, freshly steamed steamed buns!"
In the end, the military generals who led the team couldn't stand it anymore and agreed that the soldiers would take over the food sent by the villagers, which made the villagers satisfied. Even so, the degree of travel has not diminished in the slightest!
Twenty minutes later, the martial artists of the Dark Flower Qingzhou Department attacked.
Twenty-five minutes, it is a junior martial artist. Because three days ago, Feng Xiang received a summons from Ah Niu, and had already sent three hundred junior martial artists to Luoyang, according to the time calculation, it is estimated that he has almost arrived at the destination, and the number of junior martial artists in this attack is not much, only 258 people.
The steps of the martial artists are much faster than that of ordinary soldiers, if they copy the path, a figure of the level of Wang Yue, with all their strength, is expected to arrive in a day and a half from Qingzhou to Luoyang, and it will take about three days for the Dark Flower Martial Artist. Ah Niu only hoped that these martial artists could arrive in time to add some combat strength to Luoyang, and hold on until other less mobile reinforcements arrived.
Thirty-two minutes, Gao Shun's trapping camp rushed out of the city with a furious momentum, and all 21o trapped warriors rode Wuhuan war horses. Along with the trapped camp, there were more than 3oo soldiers from the Shanzi Battalion, most of these people were eliminated from the Flying Wing Battalion to the Shanzi Battalion by Zhao Yun, and they were no strangers to horseback riding.
ββIt needs to be explained that since Da Zilong joined the Flying Wing Battalion and put forward the concept of "cavalry on horseback, infantry on horseback", many of Fengxiang's troops have followed suit. Feng Xiang's elite division, meritorious troops trapped in the camp is naturally not far behind, the trapped camp is the elite of Fengxiang's elite, Gao Shun is the favorite general of a certain city lord, the trapped camp horseback riding training has sufficient logistical support, although now the trapped camp can not be skilled in fighting immediately, but there is no problem in riding a horse.
Although Feng Xiang does not have many war horses, Suruga Town, which is on the right track, has been able to produce a small number of war horses, and can provide nearly 5o war horses to the troops every month, coupled with the war horse trade between Feng Xiang and the Taran tribe, there will be hundreds of war horses in the territory every once in a while that have not been traded, which also provides convenience for the large-scale training of Feng Xiang City.
In order to allow some troops to arrive in Luoyang faster, Ah Niu also worked hard and sent out all the more than 5oo war horses existing in the territory!
The last to go out was the infantry of the 2ooo Mingshanzi battalion led by Zhou Tai, although Zhou Tai, the general of the king, was the commander of the naval army, but Ah Niu really couldn't find more effective manpower to lead this army, so he had to transfer Zhou Tai again.
After these troops were withdrawn, there were only less than 3ooo people left in Fengxiang City, and the Canglan Naval Division of 1ooo people, which could almost be called a nest!
Jiang Qin didn't get the opportunity to fight, and after dispatching so many troops, only Jiang Qin, a historical general, was left in Fengxiang City, and a general was needed to guard Fengxiang. And Jiang Qin is best at the navy, not the kind of person whose personal combat power is particularly prominent.
In addition, three days later, it was time for the Canglan Sailor to go to Port-au-Prince in Youzhou, and it was time for Fengxiang to trade with the Taran tribe.
"Wait for Xu Niu to go with me, the territory has almost become an empty city, and Feng Xiang's safety depends on you. The affairs in the territory are still under the overall responsibility of Pang Tong, if Fengxiang has an enemy during this period, Pang Tong will decide whether to recruit troops according to the situation, and the main general in the army is Jiang Qin, supplemented by Lu Han, understand? β
"Yes! Don't worry! Jiang Qin and Lu Han said in unison.
Just before Feng Xiang's troops attacked, on the other side of the land of Shenzhou, the distant Liangzhou Longfei City also sent troops after receiving Ah Niu's order. Long Fei's troops were assembled earlier than Feng Xiang, and Chen Gong reacted as soon as he received the news, not only the troops were assembled, but even all the weapons and dry food were ready to stop, and the troops could be ordered.
It has only been two days since the Thunder Horse returned to Longfei, and he has just repaired his weapons and equipment, re-recruited soldiers to make up for the previous losses on the Xiongnu steppe, and then set out again!
Under the leadership of He Qian, the Dark Flower Liangzhou Department crossed the mountains and crossed the path to Luoyang! Master martial artist Li Qi has already taken the lead!
Chen Gong thought that instead of letting the first dead soldiers immediately "climb" to Luoyang, it was better to give them a little time to learn the simple skills of driving horses, and they didn't need to be too skilled, as long as they didn't fall off the horse.
Long Fei and Feng Xiang are too far away, and the concept of Zilong's training has not yet been transmitted, which is also a helpless thing.
- I have to admit that Chen Gong's decision was very wise, and it was his impromptu decision that made the time for the first dead soldier to arrive in Luoyang two and a half days faster than walking! It was two and a half days that made or broke the matter!
Although 5oo Xiqiang war horses have been transported to Fengxiang, in the battle of Longfei and the battle of Sister Qiang, Long Fei has a lot of gains, and there is still a reserve of war horses for more than 11oo people. In the gourd valley, the warriors who first ascended to the dead practiced hard, and some people kept screaming and falling off their horses and getting injured, but soon these thick-skinned and adventurous dead soldiers would continue to try again.
Ju Yi looked anxiously at the situation in the valley, thinking about the harsh situation faced by Zhao Yun, Liu Xing and others, Ju Yi was anxious, and the generals who were like brothers to the first dead soldiers on weekdays roared constantly at this time.
"Bunnies, they're as stupid as pigs!"
"If you don't hurry up and stop fighting, once Li Jin's kid goes, how many enemies can be left for us to kill? Our Fengxiang City also sent troops, and we didn't make a head when we went late! β
"Quick! Fast! Fast! The brothers in Luoyang are still looking forward to us going, 100,000 yellow scarves, they won't be able to last long! β
"Who, what are you doing on horseback? Do the horse's tail and bridle look the same? You're going to be bouncing around when your tail is pulled, let alone a horse? β
When night fell, Chen Gong sent people to light a large number of torches to illuminate the gourd valley, and the first dead soldiers also knew that the situation was critical, and in the face of defeat and injury again and again, no one flinched, and tried hard again and again, all night.
Until noon the next day, most of the first dead soldiers finally barely understood the simple skill of manipulating horses, and there were more than 1oo soldiers with "poor qualifications" or who were injured in a fall, so they had to be left behind in Longfei regrettably, and Ju Yi took 986 first dead soldiers to embark on a journey of thousands of miles to help Luoyang.
When the first dead soldiers were still practicing horseback riding, the battle in Luoyang had already started overnight.
