Volume 1 Chapter 464 - Breaking the Alliance (II)
Luoyang
"Shoot"
The battalion of good archery was covered in leather armor, and it did not make a sound, and it fired with the order.
Suddenly, there were patches of blood in front of him, and the Xiliang soldiers staggered and fell to the ground one by one, unless they hit the vital point immediately, otherwise, it would be difficult to kill them on the spot.
The screams of great pain were continuous, and the smell of blood filled the air.
Through the night, you can see that the door is full of corpses, the blood stains the ground red, and the people who are not dead for a while are ordered: "Come forward and replenish the gun"
"Yes" the new soldiers and the officers and soldiers defending the city, with spears, pierced the corpses one by one.
Suddenly, there were two Xiliang soldiers in the corpse who jumped out, covered in blood, with arrows on their bodies, shouting, desperate, and rushing forward.
"Thorn" Shi Chang shouted, and only four or five spears from the soldiers of the improvised organization responded, but this was enough, and only a few shouts were heard, and three spears stabbed through.
A Xiliang soldier had a bloody face and roared in his mouth, blood shot out from the place where the three spears pierced, and his body fell to the ground unwillingly.
Jiang Chen looked at it lightly, and saw that the corpses in front of the door were all over the place, the situation calmed down, and with a wave of his hand and a sweep of his eyes, the people around him were all in response.
"You have done a good job of opening the gates, and when the lord comes, I will personally report to the lord. Jiang Chen's voice was not loud, but it was clear.
The gatekeeper was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted: "General Xie Zhang." ”
Jiang Chen's hand waved again, and said, "Don't thank me, even if there is, this is the grace of the lord." ”
At this time, the dark and dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a thunder when he spoke, which exploded on the top, and then raindrops, Jiang Chen knew that the matter was urgent, but he did not show panic, slowly got up, paced a few steps, and then said: "Do you know the big arsenal?"
The gatekeeper immediately responded: "Got it"
"Okay, you take me. Jiang Chen looked up at the distance, smiled coldly, and said gloomily: "Stay behind, follow me to the arsenal, and follow the good shooting battalion to follow." ”
The establishment of the army of the Han Dynasty was five people and one army (Wu Chang), ten people and one Shi (Shi Chang), fifty people and one team (captain), one hundred people and one tun (tun chief), two hundred people and one song (military marquis), and one thousand people (Sima or school captain)
Now the army of 10,000 people, it can be said that the 123rd Division (3,000 people) retains some combat effectiveness, and the weapons do not need to be replenished, while the 4th to 10th Divisions are all temporarily organized, and the weapons are not in place, so they must be personally led by themselves and suppressed by the good shooting battalion.
"Yes" immediately rolling soldiers, following the main general, braved the wind and rain.
Everyone in Luoyang City has been closed, and there are Xiliang soldiers at the entrance of important streets, and at this time, they killed it, and suddenly the sound of killing continued, and the people in the families along the way were all huddled on the bed and even trembled in the corner.
In just a moment, even if it rained, there were many fires in the city, and the sky was reflected in a patch of red, and the sound of killing could be heard from time to time in the distance.
Restaurants
A restaurant, sitting a few tables by the street window, more than 20 people, are ordering to eat and drink, a group of people are staggered, all a little drunk, take a closer look, are all children of the gate valve family.
Inside, Wang Ling was a matter of concern, the last time Diao Chan's matter, the more I think about it now, the more I feel it, and I faintly regret it, just thinking about it, I heard a long hiss below, someone rushed straight up, pushed the door, and shouted: "Oh no, the city is open, Liu Bei is coming into the city." ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone suddenly changed color, and Wang Ling was in charge of the army, but he was the first to calm down and shouted: "What are you panicking about?"
After saying that, he listened to it, and after a moment, he sneered: "There will not be many people entering the city, and the killing is not strong, you tell me carefully, what is going on"
These words cut gold and iron, and suddenly everyone was in their hearts, and they also came back to their senses, and when they were thinking about it, they heard this person say: "Liu Yuanjun has about 10,000 troops, I am afraid that it is the vanguard, and it is the city guard who has opened the door in rebellion, and now he is going straight to the big arsenal." ”
"The big arsenal, it seems that it may not be the vanguard, although the big arsenal is important, but if it is a large army and has its own weapons, why rush straight away, I am afraid that it is those righteous troops. Someone listened, took a drink, and sneered: "The weapons are crude, so you need armor and weapons." ”
"That's right, but even if it's a rebel army, it's very delicate to enter the city at this time, everyone is smart, and this is a choice. ”
"Do you cooperate with this rebel army, defend this Luoyang, and hand it over to Liu Yuanjun, or help the Xiliang army to strangle these rebels?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, Wang Ling hesitated, remembered Diao Chan's most reluctant warning, listened to the growing riots and killings in the distance, stood up, and sighed: "It's almost close to the big arsenal, how slow is the reaction of the army in the city......"
As he was talking, all of a sudden, there were many fires nearby, and everyone's faces changed greatly, and they immediately sent someone forward: "Go quickly, how can someone set the fire?"
In the firelight, I saw the figure of someone fighting, and someone shouted: "Dong thief is going to set fire to the city." ”
Wang Ling gritted his teeth and kept silent, and after a while, the people who sent him crawled over, and someone grabbed him: "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
"It was the Xiliang army that set the fire, it is said that it was the order of the Taishi before he left the city"
As soon as these words fell, all the families were pale, this was to burn their roots, and suddenly everyone was indignant, Wang Ling smiled bitterly: "The Taishi is perverse, and we have no choice." ”
"Yes, let's go back to the house immediately, mobilize the family soldiers, and help Liu Yuanjun" Everyone said, only a young man frowned, and Wang Ling glanced at him: "Sima He did this." ”
This young man was Sima Yi, and he just smiled slightly at this time: "I only sigh that Liu Bei is a hero, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to invite him out after entering Luo." ”
A house in Luoyang
Niu Fu was furious: "Bastard, these bastards, aren't they already divided, how can they break into the city again?"
Jumped to his feet and drank: "Give me armor"
Dong Zhuo's army
150,000 formed a large camp, and the main force was only fifty miles away from Luoyang, which was not too far, and Ye Qing's so-called one-day journey usually referred to the cavalry forward, and the scouts on both sides even appeared near the main force of the other party, and the cavalry forwards exchanged fire, but there was still a distance of dozens of miles between the main lunge forces.
In the big tent, the smile on Dong Zhuo's face slowly disappeared, and he said coldly: "Bastard, you have fallen for Liu Bei's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain."
wanted to order the cavalry of the army to come back to the rescue, and Gao Shun advised: "The army should not go back lightly, just like the sword is out of the sheath and does not return without seeing blood, this may be Liu Bei's plan to exhaust our army." ”
"Hmm. Dong Zhuo didn't say anything about it, he gasped heavily, and the people below didn't dare to move or talk casually, and they looked at it without saying a word.
"Lord, now that I have returned to Luoyang, it is still a trivial matter to lose the morale of the soldiers. At this time, Li Ru stood up and said: "The key now is that the big-eared thief is not far away. ”
"In fact, the big-eared thief gathered 250,000 troops at this time, which is better than the number of our army, and there are good generals like clouds, which should not be underestimated. ”
"Fortunately, Cao Sun and the others have different ambitions, and set up this ambush plan on all sides, we can defeat this person in one fell swoop just like we did against the overlord of Chu back then, which is the first priority. ”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo circled around the big tent, arrived at the tent door, raised his face and let the raindrops fall on his face, it was cool and cold, for a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "What you said is not wrong, now defeating this big-eared thief is the first priority, but this Luoyang matter can't be ignored." ”
Speaking of this, seeing Li Ru staring below, Dong Zhuo reacted, remembered the original plan, and his ruthless eyes flashed: "Blocking the news, whoever dares to spread it privately, behead"
At the same moment, the same word shouted from Niu Fu's mouth: "Burn"
"No, general," the generals looked at each other and hurriedly pleaded.
"Hmph, this is the Taishi's previous instructions, do you dare to disobey?" Niu Fu roared angrily: "Anyway, the hundred officials have moved away with the Son of Heaven, what if this Luoyang is burned out?"
The Royal Mansion
Wang Ling hurriedly entered, and when he saw someone saluting, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, and immediately ordered in a gloomy voice: "Pass my order, let the soldiers of the family immediately put on armor together and assemble in the open space in the court."
"Don't go quickly" A middle-aged literati saw that the servant who received this order was stunned, followed the order, waited for the people to go away, and asked: "My lord, what's the matter, you have to use the family soldiers"
"But something is wrong, Liu Yuanjun's vanguard has entered the city" Seeing the servant leaving, Wang Ling gave a general overview of today's situation, and said: "This vanguard is suspected to be a rebel, and the number is not large, there is still room for it. ”
The middle-aged literati thought for a while, and said: "Indeed, there is no choice, I originally came to see Taishi Long Xianghu, but I didn't want to do such a perverse act."
And this Liu Bei was not surprising at first, but now he is becoming more and more like a king. ”
When Wang Ling heard this, he couldn't say a taste in his heart, and only after a long time did he smile bitterly and said, "The world is unpredictable, we can't watch Luoyang being burned, we can only do this-but in this way, what will happen in the future?"
"No hindrance" middle-aged literati: "I saw yesterday that the Taishi had dead air, and now this one, I'm afraid that the gas has run out." ”
Hearing this, Wang Ling's hands shook and he gritted his teeth: "If this is the case, isn't this Liu Bei no longer invincible, and now he can be called the emperor and level the world in a few years?"
"It's possible, but I watched this Liu Bei a year ago, although he has a big appearance, but he will never be called the emperor within three years, and I still have to think about it. The middle-aged literati said quietly.
As he was talking, the family general came in and said, "The armor soldiers in the front yard are ready." ”
The two stopped talking, and went out, only to see that the gate was tightly sealed, and the two hundred or so soldiers were all standing in black and neat.
Wang Ling looked at it, this is the family soldier he has painstakingly cultivated in the past few years, and it is the amount of power that can be used at a critical time, and he is very excited for a while, and he feels that it is not worth working for the big-eared thief for a while.
However, at this time, the firelight was everywhere, but there was no choice, and he shouted immediately: "Dong thief has no way, he wants to burn Luoyang, we will fight with him"
"Fight," shouted from all corners of the world, and the shouts rushed into the sky.
