Hikozhi was so anxious that he circled around the cabin, muttering, "No...... We must not let the navy confront the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is self-defeating! In any case, General Ben must keep this army, otherwise there will be no time to talk about a revival in the future! Right! Where there is life, there is hope! ”

"Someone!" Zhiyanzhi stopped his steps and shouted loudly: "Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately withdraw from Luoyang and go south!" ”

The soldiers who came to report thought that they had heard it wrong, and the whole army retreated?

Although the army of the Northern Expedition was scattered and some were stationed in various towns, most of the main forces of the Huaiyin Water Army were in Luoyang, plus the original defenders and light cavalry near Luoyang, adding up to nearly 40,000 people.

40,000 people defending the city, but they were afraid of the 20,000 Wei army? Or even run away without a fight?! Is the manager confused?

The soldier who reported the news asked tentatively: "General, the ice on the river has not yet been chiseled, and the building ships cannot move, how can the army withdraw from Luoyang?" ”

It seemed that Hikoyuki only realized this problem at this time, and immediately began to circle in place again, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw the army on foot!" Carry as much grain and grass as you can, and burn the rest! Not a single grain of rice can be left for Wei Thief! ”

The soldier was completely stupid at this time, "Burn the ......?" The building ship was also burned? ”

These are all newly built ships! Not to mention the money spent, this is a fleet that took five years to build, and it didn't even fight a single battle, and it was all burned like this?!

"What are you doing!" Zhi Yanzhi said angrily: "If you don't burn it, won't it be left for Wei thief in vain?!" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong with these words, but there was obviously no time for him to think about it at the moment, and under the roar of Hiko, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and stumbled out of the cabin to give orders.

At this time, Zhiyanzhi's henchman came over, "General, retreat without a fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when I return to Jiankang." ”

Yan Zhi didn't want to think about it, walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and pulled out the saber hanging on the wall, handed it to his henchman and said, "You come, cut it on the arm of General Ben!" No, the arm is not enough...... You slash me in the back! ”

The henchman took the knife and was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "The general wants to ......"

Zhi Yanzhi snorted coldly, "Win boy, I am in a foreign country, and my intention is not good for General Ben!" The general was deceived by it, was seriously wounded by it, and was unable to meet the enemy. The army has no commander and can only retreat! This matter is investigated by the emperor, and he will not be harsh on this general! ”

The henchman's hand trembled, "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that the Ying dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, and then bite the general!" ”

"A bite back?" Zhi Yanzhi said disdainfully: "The emperor is surrounded by our people, and his words and ways are in the hands of this general." Who would go to the emperor for a group of remnants of the Qin Dynasty? How could the emperor believe it? As early as when the boy of the Ying family resigned, he had already lost the emperor's trust in him. ”

Only then did the henchmen be completely convinced, and Zhiyanzhi was convinced that this black cauldron could be thrown to the Ying family, so he dared to avoid the war recklessly.

Zhi Yanzhi was stunned when he saw his henchman, and couldn't help urging: "What are you doing standing stupidly!" Don't cut it yet! If it is delayed any longer, the Wei army will come in! ”

The henchman nodded hurriedly, "Okay!" He changed his posture a few times, and finally found a direction to swing his knife, and rushed to the way of Dao Hiko, who turned his back to him: "The general endures!" It's down! ”

As he spoke, he swung a knife, and a large wound was immediately cut out of Hikoyuki's back, which was drenched in blood and turned out. It looks extremely shocking, but the actual wound is not deep.

Rao is ready, but Yan Zhi still screams in pain! After the henchmen sprinkled the best wound medicine and quickly bandaged it for Yan Zhi, Yan Zhi gasped and ordered: "Let the defenders of Luoyang resist the siege of the Wei army, so that the army has enough time to evacuate." ”

This is to sacrifice the defenders of Luoyang...... Although the henchman was a little unbearable in his heart, he knew that Yanzhi was a self-sacrificing role, and no one dared to object at this time, so he could only do as he was told.

The defenders of Luoyang received an order to defend the city gates. Although the city wall of Luoyang is indeed a little broken, even if it is defended, it will not last long. But thinking that there was an army of sailors behind him, the defenders of Luoyang were not very panicked.

When the ferocious Northern Wei army launched a major attack, although the number was far from superior and the city wall did not have many strongholds to defend, the defenders of Luoyang still held on to their place according to the order.

The defending general didn't know what Hikoyuki wanted to arrange, so he could only guess that Hikozhi was planning to take the army from behind, after all, this was the most reasonable way to play at the moment.

According to the estimation of the general of the defending army, after the large army circled, it was estimated that an hour would be enough. However, he waited left and right, and two hours were almost passed, and there was still no trace of his own army in the rear of the Wei army.

Seeing that the Wei army's offensive was stronger and stronger, and the defenders on the city wall were suffering more and more casualties, the defending general was a little panicked at this time, but even so, he still didn't realize that his men and horses had been treated as outcasts.

After all, who would have thought that the commander of an army would not even dare to fight a battle like 40,000 against 20,000?

It wasn't until someone noticed that smoke was rising from the direction of the Great Army's Water Village that the defenders of Luoyang City realized that the reinforcements they were waiting for might be close at hand, but they would not come.

A fire broke out in the rear, which immediately shook the morale of the army, and the defenders immediately lost the courage to kill the enemy. There was still a glimmer of hope in the general of the defenders, hoping that the rear would be just a moment of chaos. When it is resolved, the army will still come to help them defend the city, even if it is not around the rear.

But when the soldiers he had sent to ask for instructions from Hikoto had returned not long ago, the general who defended the city realized that the reinforcements he was waiting for were nothing more than an illusion.

"The whole water village is empty! Even the building ship and the supplies that could not be taken away were burned! General, they're using us as bait! There's no way for us to live! Checkmate! Let's go down! ”

"Drop?" The defending general was distracted for a while, but the knife in his hand was held tightly, "I can't surrender, my people are still in Jiankang, if I surrender, they are safe?" As for Yanzhi, a dog thief, he is afraid that he will have already reached this point, and when I die in battle, no one will report him for the crime of escaping! ”

"General, is it possible that we really want to do what he wants and die here in vain?!"

The defending general gritted his teeth and pushed his lieutenant general, "You go!" With 10,000 light horses, run for your life! I'll stop the Wei army for you! It's just that you remember, you must not let me wait for a vain death, you must report the crime of Hikozhi to the front of the emperor, and avenge us! ”

The defending general pulled down his waist card and handed it to the deputy general, "Take this as a token, go to the front of the palace, and tell all the ministers what Yan has done, and give me justice!" ”

The adjutant general was about to shirk it, but seeing the resolute attitude of the defending general, he had no choice but to be ruthless and clasped his fist at the defending general, "General! Get on the road with peace of mind! Your revenge will be avenged for you! ”
