Chapter 119: Unfavorable
Li Yue was woken up by the sound of war drums and fighting.
The two maids huddled in the corner, huddled together, their eyes glazed and trembling.
Liang Qian attacked all the way, there was no grass along the way, burning, killing, lewdness, and cruelty, and doing all kinds of evil, these two sixteen or seventeen-year-old people fell into their hands, and the fate can be imagined.
And there happened to be a shortage of food in the Liang calf army.
However, with only a little pity in my heart, I recovered, and I couldn't let my emotions affect my mood.
As long as they keep moving forward, one day, they will not have this fear in their eyes......
He wiped a handful of ice water on his face, beckoned everyone, and hurried to close it.
On the rugged and steep mountain road under the pass, the Gaoli guards came densely, although they were short of food, but looking at their appearance, there was no slightest hunger, their faces were ruddy, and they screamed one by one and rushed to the city.
"Kill back to Yedu!"
The rebels were red-eyed, and their shouts were like raging waves.
Dozens of axe-wielding armorers were in front, with bows and arrows hanging from their waists.
As soon as they saw the giant axe, the defenders were all afraid.
Li Nong stood beside a group of generals, there were people from the Central Plains, one of them was tall and burly, standing out among the crowd, not very old, less than thirty years old, heroic and majestic.
The black armor on his body was also extremely hideous, faintly stained with a layer of dark red.
Both the people and the beggars around him kept their distance, consciously or unconsciously, and seemed to be extremely afraid of this person, and they all bowed their heads in front of him.
The person who can have this kind of momentum can only be Shi Min.
Li Yue had just arrived, and he had no official position, so he was naturally not qualified to stand by Li Nong's side, so he couldn't help but look at Shi Min a few more times curiously, but he was unexpectedly noticed by him and looked over.
The eyes were staggered, and the other party didn't care too much.
Li Yue hurriedly withdrew his gaze, in case Shi Min came to say, "What are you looking at", it would be a little troublesome.
In these years, people's temper is not very good, they can use knives, and they will never move their mouths.
Move the knife with Shi Min...... Li Yue has to weigh it carefully......
The rugged and steep mountain road did not stop the pace of Gao Li's Praetorian Guard's attack, but the opponent's bow and arrow were extremely accurate, and they shot backwards from the bottom to the top from more than a hundred paces.
In just half a burnt of incense, more than a dozen defenders were shot in the door.
The casualties were still within the tolerance range, but the screams of the attackers were a great blow to morale.
The defenders all cowered behind the moat, not daring to probe, but just fired a few arrows indiscriminately, and then threw down rolling stones and logs to fight back.
The Colliers Janissaries were experienced in attacking the city all the way, and they dodged the arrows and stones above their heads by the rocks on the side of the mountain road, and several strong rebels raised their axes and shouted to chop forward, and the wood and stones flew everywhere, and then pointed at the gate and shouted.
Foul language rolled in, and Zhao Jun still didn't dare to show his head.
Li Yue can see that his morale is completely trampled under his feet.
The Colliers guards didn't really want to attack the city, they seemed to be figuring out the terrain, showing off their might for a while, and then turned around and went down the mountain.
"Where has King Yan been?" Li Nong's vicissitudes and tired voice sounded.
The people around him replied: "King Yan's army has been stationed in Liyang for many days. ”
Liyang is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, overlooking Henan.
Shi Bin's troops are here, which is clearly the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight......
Li Nong didn't say much, turned around and went back to the city tower.
Soon it was dark again, the cold wind was howling, and the spring snow was only slightly wet and disappeared.
After patrolling the gate for a while, someone came from the official, "Leader Li, Sikong summoned." ”
Li Yue bowed his hand and followed the servant into the city tower.
The beggars in the hall gathered together, Bo Wu and Chen Duan were on the right, and Zhang Liang, Shi Min, Dong Yan and others were on the left.
There was not a single man in the hall.
Li Yue has the lowest rank and stands at the end of the right.
Li Nongtie, the head of the company, blushed with a face, "Ladies and gentlemen, King Yan has an urgent order to transfer General Wei's 16,000 troops. ”
Shi Bin supervised all Chinese and foreign military forces, and even Li Nong had to be controlled by him.
Suddenly, the faces of everyone in the hall were hard to look at.
There were not many defenders in the pass, and Shi Bin transferred Zhang Hedu's 16,000 people to make the tiger prison even weaker.
And Shi Bin's meaning is already very obvious, let Li Nong stand in the way, try to consume the high-force guards, and at the same time consume the beggar army under Li Nong.
When the two sides are almost over, he can pick peaches with Shi Shiran.
Shi Hu and Zhuzi have always tried every means to brutalize the Han people, they may have favored Li Nong, and they can also let Li Nong enjoy glory and wealth, but they will never give up the opportunity to suppress and weaken the Han people.
At this point, Shi Hu's father and son are very tacit.
The Collier Janissaries and the Beggars were both defeated, which was exactly what they wanted.
Zhang Liang, the first person on the left, arched his hand and said: "We have less than 20,000 horses, and our morale is low, how can we fight against the Gaoli Janissaries?" It's better to retreat to Chenliu! ”
Li Nong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty entrusted me with an army of 100,000, but I was defeated twice by the hands of the thief army, if I abandon Cheng Gao, what face will I have to see Your Majesty again?" ”
At the mention of Shi Hu, everyone fell silent again.
Although Li Nong's face was gloomy in this defeat, others could not escape the blame.
At this time, Shi Min came out of the ranks, and his voice was loud, which shocked the spirits of the generals in the hall, "Dare to ask Sikong, can our army defeat 100,000 thieves?" ”
Li Nong said with a complicated gaze: "I can't." ”
Shi Min asked again, "Can our army hold Chenggao?" ”
The Tiger Prison Pass is a natural danger, and the probability of holding it is extremely high, but Zhang Hedu was transferred, which made the already small morale fall to the bottom.
No matter how steep the Tiger Prison Pass is, it must be guarded by people, and the hearts of the people are scattered, what to guard?
Li Yue's heart moved, if the troops of Heiyun Mountain came, the logistics supply would be sufficient, the reinforcements would be strong, and he would be sixty percent sure of holding it.
But at this time, it is obviously unwise, in the face of Liang Li's 100,000 tigers and wolves, Heiyun Mountain will definitely have to pay a heavy price, even if he keeps Chenggao, he will make a wedding dress for Shi Bin, which is thankless.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Nong finally shook his head, "No." ”
"You can't fight, you can't defend, you should go!" Shi Min is the most special existence in the hall, and he can be regarded as half of the Zhao clan, and no one thinks it is inappropriate to talk to Li Nong in this tone, but because he conforms to the hearts of the people, he has been approved by many people.
Li Nong was still hesitating.
At this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing under the gate.
The servant reported outside the door in horror: "Sikong, the thief army is attacking at night!" ”
What should have come is still coming.
The attack during the day is clearly to explore the way, and the morale of the gate is so low, it is strange that the thief army does not come to attack.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, Zhang Hedu's men and horses walked on the front foot, and the thief army came to attack at night on the back foot, and the timing was too good......
"Kill back to Yedu!" The mountains were filled with the excited shouts of the thief army.
The generals' faces changed greatly, and their voices were so close, it was likely that they had already succeeded in the sneak attack and attacked the Tiger Prison Pass.
There was a moment of confusion, accompanied by screams.
"Cleared!" A hysterical cry broke through the night, followed by heart-pounding laughter everywhere.
Li Nong closed his eyes, "Retreat, retreat to Xingyang!" ”
