Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hu Luguang's Calculations
Lead-gray clouds hung over the plains, cold rain mixed with snow and ice fell, and red blood mixed with rain flowed in the ditches.
On this rainy day, a bloody massacre was staged in Lulujiao, the main road of Dinglong.
The Zhou army Zhangye Gongyu Wenji, Zhongzhou Assassin Liang Shiyan, and Kaifu Sishui Doctor Liang Jingxing were attacked by the Qi army in the evening, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Tun army here suffered heavy casualties.
Yu Wenjie led more than a thousand disabled troops, and galloped wildly on the plain with embarrassed horses.
The ice rain slapped their bodies and faces, but they didn't feel the slightest cold at the moment, and the strong desire to survive made their bodies secrete all kinds of exhilarating hormones. There's only one thought left in my head - run!
They knew that Hu Luguang would hit the north shore sooner or later, but they didn't expect Hu Luguang to come so fast and so fiercely.
According to common sense, since Hu Luguang did not choose to spend Luoshui, he wanted to prepare for a protracted war with them.
Besides, in such weather, anyone who is a little more sane understands that it is not possible to march on a large scale!
But Hu Luguang, a madman, actually crossed the river directly in the rain and snow, and launched a fierce attack on Yuwen Ji! Caught with one's pants down!
It's really careless!
Hu Luguang stationed troops in Fenbei, giving Yu Wenjie and others the illusion that "Hu Luguang will not cross the river in a short time".
Just when Yuwen Jian was still resting in the big tent, more than a thousand Qi troops entered the camp!
The war horse was wet with rain and snow, and the horse's mane collapsed listlessly to the side, and two faint white gases erupted from the wings of his nose.
Apparently the horses have reached the limit of their running.
Yu Wenjie slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, wishing that this damn horse could run to the edge of the sky in one step.
There was a screaming sound in the rear, the pursuers of the Qi army were chasing after them, one by one the Zhou soldiers caught up with them, the Qi army drew their knives neatly, a narrow cold light swept across the neck, and the corpse fell softly down the war horse.
The corpse was covered in weed, and cold raindrops dripped down the tips of the grass on the terrified faces.
No one cared about the fate of the people caught up by the Qi army, everyone just ran for their lives, praying and hoping that the war horse under their crotch could be faster...... Faster!
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking wind in Yu Wenji's ears, and a feathered arrow flew past his ear, leaving a shallow blood mark on his ear, which was obliquely inserted into the grass in front of him.
Yuwen Jian looked back, and saw that the Qi army had set up bows and crossbows, shooting and killing the Zhou army, and the arrow just now almost killed Yu Wenji!
Zhou Jun has already begun to be shouted, "-Disperse!" Spread out! ”
The opposing cavalry shot the Zhou army on horseback at close range, which would lead to greater casualties if they were gathered together.
Yuwen Ji turned around and yelled, "Who dare!? No one is allowed to leave without my orders! Otherwise, it will be punished as a deserter! ”
A group of Zhou soldiers did not listen to him, and scattered their horses and ran in different directions, while a large part of them gritted their teeth and stayed.
They knew that the reason why Yuwen Jian ordered them not to disperse was because he wanted to use them as shields, and those who fled for their lives had no wives and children, and they were not involved, so they could naturally flee without scruples, but these people were different, there was a small family in the state capital, once they became deserters, then the small family would be affected.
Yu Wenjie slapped the horsewhip even harder, and the horsewhip was stained with blood.
The distance between the Qi army and them was still getting closer and closer, calmly drawing bows and arrows in the back, and almost every moment, a few Zhou troops fell in response. Later, the feather arrow had almost flown close to Yu Wenji's shoulder.
Just when Yu Wenjie was full of despair, two teams of people fell from the sky.
To be precise, they escaped together when they escaped, and they were in the same embarrassment, it was Liang Jingxing and Liang Shiyan. When Yuwenji's camp was attacked, Liang Shiyan and Liang Jingxing were also facing the same situation.
The three groups of men and horses were combined, and there were thousands of them, but they were no longer afraid of their pursuers.
Yuwen Hui was furious and wanted to fight back against this group of Qi troops, but the Qi army saw that the situation was unfavorable, so they rode their horses and fled.
Yu Wenjie had just given birth to a little joy of escaping at this time, and was shrouded in sorrow in a blink of an eye.
Liang Shiyan arched his hand towards Yuwen and gasped: "The Qi army attacked our battalion, and I have suffered heavy losses here......
Liang Jingxing also shook his head and sighed: "There was no defense at all, and in a blink of an eye, the Qi army quietly crossed the riverbank, and we didn't even have a decent resistance, and the Qi army was overwhelming......"
Yu Wenjie looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, there were more than 20,000 people in total, but now less than 3,000 escaped with them!
"The Qi army is only a few thousand, if we can organize an army at that time, we can definitely force them back into the river......"
Yu Wenjian sighed lightly, only to feel a wave of dizziness rushing to his brain.
"What's the use? Isn't it defeated in the end? Alas, let's think about how to explain to the general......"
Yu Wenjie looked around and finally said helplessly:
"Since they have already lost, why don't you hurry up and report the military situation to the general and explain the reason, I can't say that I can still get a chance to make meritorious contributions......
The other two nodded and said, "That's all it can be......"
So they gathered the remnants of the army and headed north, and the rain continued to fall, and the grand slaughter of Lulujiao had not yet ended.
The camp was filled with blood, screams, and wails.
A dusty figure rolled out of the tent, struggling in the muddy water, and a black armor came out of the tent, holding a spear and ignoring him.
This man's calf had already been hit, the flesh was turned over, and blood was gushing out, and Qi Jun didn't blink his eyes, and the spear stabbed into the back of his heart, and then pulled out, turning around to look for the next target.
The general's military order clearly stated that those who resist will be killed, and the thinking of ordinary soldiers is certainly not willing to complicate simple steps to distinguish between resistance and non-resistance.
In their opinion, as long as it is Zhou Jun, then killing it is, anyway, only the dead will be credited.
Captives don't mean much to them unless they're big fish like a general, and it doesn't add much to their credit book, and it's better to be happy with a knife.
It took more than two hours for the massacre to subside, and the Northern Zhou sergeants spontaneously stopped the resistance after a period of panic, but it did not have much effect.
The Zhou army, which had lost its main general, was like a swarm of headless flies spinning around without a head and no brain, taking the initiative to meet the enemy Qi army, which would only make the Qi army's killing speed faster.
Fu Fu stood on the hill with his knife pressed, staring at the several killing fields below with an expressionless face, the sound of fighting and roars in the Zhou army's camp had subsided. This operation of attacking the camp of the Zhou army in the rain and snow was carried out by him.
"General......" A Xianbei lieutenant general respectfully stepped forward and arched his hand: "The camp of the Zhou army has been cleaned up, can we notify the camp on the other side to cross the river?" ”
Fu Fu looked at his lieutenant general, and the lieutenant general hurriedly lowered his head, "The last general does not dare to interfere with the general's decision, but Zuo Xiang has explained before, once the enemy camp is cleared, let the army cross the river, the general ......, if the army does not cross the river again, once Yu Wenxian reacts, it will be wasted." ”
After more than ten days of getting along, this Xianbei lieutenant general already knows what kind of person this taciturn general in front of him is, this is a person who looks silent, but in fact is as fierce as a fire, like a volcano, it is best not to provoke, otherwise maybe he will put a knife on your neck in the next second.
Fu Fu is in the area under his jurisdiction, and he has always said the same.
There were also a few Xianbei generals who did not obey the leadership of Fu Fu, a Han Chinese, and secretly made stumbling blocks, and even disobeyed military orders. They thought that Fu Fu would suffer this dumb loss, after all, it was already a tradition for Xianbei people to bully Han people, and suddenly a Han person sat on their heads, even if this person is said to be a person who is valued today, but Fu Fu does not have any outstanding achievements, so it is inevitable that they have ideas in their hearts, does Fu Fu dare to start? They were all curious.
But who would have thought that Fu Fu didn't even ask, just called people over and asked a few words, just when they thought that Fu Fu had compromised and was despising in their hearts, Fu Fu directly ordered the guards to drag people to Yuanmen and behead them, and hung their heads on the flag to show the public.
This time to cross the river, Fu Fu was also the first to rush across the riverbank, braved the rain of arrows of the Zhou army to lead the team into the Zhou army camp, and when he gave the order, he was often resolute and resolute.
In this way, Fu Fu's moody, iron-blooded and ruthless impression took root in everyone's hearts, and Fu Fu established his prestige in the army in the shortest possible time, and no subordinate dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
Fu Fuli has many rules, for example, on the battlefield, subordinates can advise Shangguan on what to do, but he must not bypass Shangguan to interfere with the order. Just now, the adjutant general almost committed a big taboo.
Fu Fu's eyes swept a glance at the deputy general who had become a little restrained, and said lightly: "Let people summon the message, so that Zuo Xiang can pull out the ......" The deputy general's back was cold and he retreated.
Soon Hu Luguang led an army of 40,000 to cross the river and set up camp next to the place where Yu Wenxian was camped.
A bonfire was lit in the tent, and Hu Luguang's usually serious face was also a little joyful.
Seeing Fu Fu, who came to restore his life, Hu Luguang did not hide his admiration, and said: "You have made a great contribution in this battle!" I didn't expect you to be a fierce general on the battlefield, we all misjudged you before. ”
Although Hu Luguang is not as extreme as other lords, this does not mean that he has no opinions on the Han army and the generals of the Han army.
At the beginning, because of Gao Wei's face, he saw that Gao Wei wanted to promote Fu Fu, but Hu Luguang was not easy to oppose clearly, and he was still skeptical about the ability of the Han army and even the generals of the Han army. Therefore, he was not very enthusiastic about Fu Fu all the way.
But in this battle, Fu Fu gave Hu Luguang a big surprise, this Fu Fu may be worse than Xue Guyan and Gao Changgong, but it is also comparable to Qi Lianmeng, and he is definitely a rare warrior in the battlefield!
It seems that the Han army can be of great use! It's not that the Han people don't know how to fight, but they are suppressed too much by the Xianbei people, blocking the way to make contributions on the battlefield, giving the Han army the same conditions, what the Xianbei soldiers can do, the Han people can do!
Hu Luguang put aside these mustards, and became a lot warmer for Fu Fu.
Even Xue Guyan and Qi Lianmeng had to agree with Fu Fu's merits.
This battle can be said to have advanced Hu Luguang's plan by some time, and it has a non-negligible impact on the entire battle situation!
Gao Changgong glanced at Fu Fu with kindness, and asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, should we march immediately and disrupt Yu Wenxian's deployment......
Hu Luguang waved his hand and said, "No, don't you know Yu Wenxian's little doll yet?" When he and Wei Chi fought Luoyang, the latter moves were a set.
Lulu Jiao is not far from the place where Yu Wenxian is camped, he must be ready now, and we can't take advantage of him by braving such heavy rain and snow to fight him...... Not cost-effective! ”
Gao Changgong continued: "Then our army will camp on the spot and consume Yu Wenxian first?" ”
Hu Luguang patted his thigh and said: "This is exactly what the old man intended, so he ordered all the grain and grass to be transported, that is, for this, we have to spend it here with Yu Wenxian before we can start fighting!"
Yu Wenxian, this little baby has a lot of intestines, and his belly is twisted and turned, and he will fight him without looking at what preparations he has, the old man thinks it is inappropriate......"
"But over there in Yiyang?"
"Don't worry about Yiyang! Yu Wenxian can obviously knock Yiyang down, but he hasn't released a sullen fart now, making it clear that he wants to save Yiyang now, and wants to crush the old man to death by relying on more people! The old man is not fooled by this! ”
Qi Lianmeng couldn't help but speak, and hesitated: "But we could have saved Yiyang but didn't save it, but instead fought a tug-of-war with Zhou Jun here, if Your Majesty knew about it, I'm afraid it would be blamed......"
Hu Lu sat cross-legged, and secretly laughed in his heart Qi Lianmeng, a stupid big man, was not very bright, but he didn't want to explain more, so he said:
"Yiyang...... It's bound to come back, didn't Yu Wenxian just want to make a fuss about Yiyang and make a move with the old man?
The old man is right! The old man originally wanted to recapture Yiyang, and he could withdraw the army after defeating Yu Wenxian, but these days the old man suddenly changed his mind...... this time the old man is going to do a big one! ”
Hu Luguang's eyes showed a sword-like clear light, more dazzling than flames, looked at everyone, and said slowly:
"This time we're going to eat a big one! Yu Wenxian and Yiyang are not enough to plug their teeth! …… What do you think of Yongzhou? ”
There was silence in the tent, the charcoal crackled, the sparks popped out, and everyone was shocked by Hu Luguang's idea.
Gao Changgong said: "Zuo Xiang, your goal ......"
Hu Luguang raised his hand and interrupted Gao Changgong's dissuasive words, "The old man has a plan in his heart!" You don't have to ask! Just do your part!
Yu Wenxian is estimated to be in a hurry and has led the army here, you are all ready to fight!
If there is a half-point difference pool, the old man's plan will be ruined, and he will not be spared! ”
