Chapter 850: People Go to the Empty Building (Part I)
After escaping from a desperate situation, Lu Ling rushed back to the capital of Luoyang with about 2,000 "remnant troops" tired. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info lost all the war horses because of the trick, and the soldiers of Lu Ling's troops had to turn back on foot overnight, and when they returned to the gate of the city gate, the night subsided, and gradually turned bright - it was already dawn......
In general, they suffered defeats, all because of the disparity in troops, the pursuit was ambushed, and thousands of war horses were sent. But fortunately, he gave up the war horse and successfully retained the vital force, although the battle failed, the military spirit was not shaken; on the contrary, Lu Ling's danger last night was not chaotic, and the plan to evacuate the enemy surrounded indirectly boosted the morale of the army, and he knew that Lu Ling was brave and ambitious as a general, and he was full of clever plans, and his soldiers were willing to die together......
"General Lu, we have arrived at ......" returned to Luoyang City, all the soldiers were exhausted, and the trusted generals pointed to the city tower in front and said--After a night of fierce fighting, the soldiers and soldiers can finally rest for a while.
"It's dawn......" Lu Ling turned his head to face the rising sun, looked at the dust and ecliptic behind him, and there was no enemy army, so he simply put his heart down and said, "Very good, the enemy army is not chasing after me, it seems that my strategy has succeeded...... However, they didn't blindly pursue, and they obviously saw my 'plan' - these guys are indeed not as simple as they have been rumored, and it is reasonable that they can defeat Yan Jitai and others......"
"General Lu, what should we do next?" Seeing last night's defeat and the failure of the previous plan to ambush the pursuit of the army, the general asked again.
"Let's go back to the city first, and then talk about it, and the main defenders of Lord Timur will make peace with ......" Lu Ling said calmly, "The purpose of last night's ambush was originally to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army, there is a risk, even if it is not successful, there will be no loss...... Although the horses have sacrificed a lot, the main force of the army is still there, and when I go back, I will go back with Lord Timur, and then make the next step - the battle with the enemy army, this is just the beginning......"
"Yes, General—" The general replied, and ordered the soldiers behind him to follow immediately and return to the city as soon as possible to rest......
"Qin Yu, Tang Zhan...... It seems that what Lord Timur said is right, there are many talented and brave lieutenant generals in the vanguard army, and it is not so easy to defeat them......" Thinking of the battle with the vanguard army last night, and being forced into danger by several calculations, Lu Ling still remembers it vividly - moreover, Lu Ling seems to be unable to forget that figure, "There is also that woman, her name is 'Lu Jing', isn't it......"
Thinking of Lu Jing's figure yesterday, for some reason, Lu Ling felt an inexplicable cordiality in her heart......
"Why do you feel this way...... Lu Ling tried to calm down, recalling Lu Jing's figure, Lu Ling couldn't help but secretly said, "I don't know her, and I even met her on the battlefield, but why...... Why do I feel that she and I should not be enemies...... By the way, her figure is so familiar, just like the one I saw in my dreams...... She also has the surname 'Lu', but she has nothing to do with me at all......"
Lu Ling muttered while remembering the dream she had before she set out on the expedition - the last time she saw the figure in the dream who could only see the silhouette clearly, it was somewhat similar to Lu Jing......
"She can calculate before me, see my plan, and ambush me in advance, forcing me into a corner......" Lu Ling stroked her forehead, and seemed to decide something in her heart, "This woman is not simple, it seems that she can see through everything with soldiers like a god, if there is still a chance to meet, I must fight her again for a ...... or two"
Thinking about it, Lu Ling seemed to be inexplicably interested in Lu Jing......
"General Lu, look there-" Just as Lu Ling was rethinking, an exclamation from the guard beside him interrupted his thoughts-the guard showed a surprised look and pointed in the direction of the city gate in front of him, as if he had discovered something terrible.
"What's going on?" Lu Ling didn't pay attention to it all the time, and couldn't help but ask.
"The City Gate...... The gates were opened!" said the guard, trembling.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Lu Ling turned his head and looked at in amazement.
I saw the direction of Luoyang City, the gate was suddenly open, a few gusts of wind blew, there was no one to greet each other, like an empty city, lifeless, frightening......
"Hey, how could the city gate be opened?" This was completely unexpected by Lu Ling, and the military strategy discussed with Tayin Timur before did not come out of this. Seeing that the city gate was wide open and there were no guards, Lu Ling had a bad premonition in his heart......
"Hey, is there anyone?" the guard general ran to the city tower before Lu Ling, and shouted loudly from above, "General Lu is back, hurry out of the city to greet you-"
However, there was no response from upstairs...... To be precise, there was no one above the tower, like a "dead city", silent. The wind howled, killing the city, and above the high-rise buildings in mid-air, you could even hear the sound of the fierce wind and the chill. The Mengyuan military flag planted on the edge of the city tower also fell down in twos and threes, and no one cared about it at all -- there is no doubt that Luoyang at this time had become an "empty city......
"General Lu, there's no one upstairs-" The general got the situation here, and immediately turned back to report to Lu Ling.
"How is this possible?-" Lu Ling's eyes widened and exclaimed, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations, he was thinking of coming back from the ambush and discussing the war with Deyin Timur again, who knew that Luoyang at this time was already empty, and the defenders of the entire city disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.
"General Lu, there is not even a single soldier on the castle tower, the matter must not be simple......" The general on the side also noticed that something was wrong, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and then said nervously, "This thing is too strange - I think we should go back quickly and find out the ins and outs!"
"I know ......" Lu Ling simply responded, and then shouted and ordered, "The whole army obeys the order, quickly return to the city, and search for the whereabouts of Lord Timur and all the soldiers of the army!"
As soon as the order was issued, the whole army ran back to the city to find the whereabouts of the "missing" soldiers......
But the result was very disappointing and surprising, the entire city tower and even the general's mansion were searched, and there was no shadow of half a soldier - in broad daylight, I saw a ghost, the army defending the city disappeared, and Lu Ling had never seen such a "terrible" thing......
"General Lu, I have searched the east and west corners of the city tower, except for us, I didn't see half a figure ......" "General Lu, I have also been to the general's mansion, Lord Timur is not there, and the precious things in it and even the military aircraft documents have been taken away inexplicably......" "General Lu, the people in the city said that there was a large number of troops entering and leaving the city last night, but they thought that they were going out of the city to defend against the enemy, and they did not expect the 'whole army to disappear'......" Gradually, his subordinates continued to send similar information back to Lu Ling.
"Wait......" Hearing the last sentence, Lu Ling frowned and asked instead, "You said that the people saw the movement of the army last night?"
"Yes......," the soldier said, "but the people only said that there was a large army out of the city, and they only thought it was to defend against the enemy, and they did not know the details......
"It was the decaffeinated Timur...... It's that guy—" Lu Ling seemed to realize something, and his eyes turned to surprise.
"General Lu, what's wrong?" the soldier looked anxious from the sidelines, and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Ling continued: "The people saw the army's 'movement out of the city' last night, which means that the troops in the city acted on a large scale when we ambushed the enemy at the 'Luoshui Pass' last night...... The only person in this city who has the right to mobilize the whole army is Deqi Timur, I rescued him last night, on the surface he returned to the city and said that he wanted to pick me up, but in fact it was ......" The more he said, the more a terrible thought appeared, Lu Ling's tone gradually slowed down, as if he realized the crisis, and his eyes gradually became frightened.
"General Lu, you mean...... Lord Timur, is it ......" Seeing Lu Ling's nervous expression, the soldier continued to ask.
Lu Ling's eyes widened, silent, as if thinking about everything before, a terrible "answer" came to mind...... "It's not good, it's my father-in-law!" Lu Ling exclaimed, turned around and shouted, "I have to go back to the Xiangfu, my father-in-law has an accident!" After speaking, Lu Ling ran down the stairs in a few steps and rushed in the direction of the Xiangfu.
"General-General......" The soldiers behind him shouted anxiously, but they couldn't respond, and could only look at Lu Ling's anxious back with concern......
On the other hand, the vanguard soldiers of the Ming army, who fought fiercely with Lu Ling's army last night, were also tired. once forced Lu Ling into a desperate situation, but he was almost counterplotted by Lu Ling, thinking of the confrontation with Lu Ling, the soldiers of the vanguard army still had palpitations......
"That Lu Ling is really powerful...... Lu Jing sat in the camp and muttered alone, remembering the experience of last night's battle, Lu Jing still remembered it for a long time.
"Seventy-third time...... Xiao Tian teased while sorting out the arrows on the side, "From last night to now, Sister Jing, you have been repeating this sentence...... Did that Lu Ling hit you so hard? someone almost took his life with a 'flying spear' move, it can't be because he was mentally stimulated, right?"
"Shhh-" Tang Zhan listened to it, and immediately reminded on the side, "Don't keep mentioning this, there was no victory or defeat in the battle last night, Jing'er was already in a bad mood, and if you mention Lu Ling's 'raid' last night, Jing'er will be angry again...... I didn't sleep all night last night, and I'm upset and tired, and now that she's finally calmed down, don't 'irritate' her anymore......"
"Oh......" Xiao Tian squeaked stupidly, and didn't speak again......
"I really can't imagine that there is such a powerful person in the enemy army, the battle of Luoyang, we must not underestimate it......" Lu Jing looked at the map on the table, and stroked the location of Luoyang and said, "But General Chang gives us limited time, let us take Luoyang as soon as possible, and if the war drags on, I'm afraid it's not good......
"Do you still want to attack head-on?" Lao Jiu and Lu Jing were working on the battle together, looking at Lu Jing's determined eyes, they couldn't help asking.
"Of course, after all, our army's numerical advantage is there, and now the city is broken and scattered, Luo *** is the corner of the fall......" Lu Jing responded, and then mentioned Lu Ling again, "But after last night's battle, I encountered a difficult 'bone' - this Lu Ling is like a god with soldiers, brave in battle, even in a desperate situation, he can get along with amazing strategies, and when he takes into account the overall situation, he can also calculate the opponent...... If he guards the city, even if our army has a numerical advantage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take Luoyang......"
"It's just that we have only fought once, and I was calculated by Lu Ling once, Jing'er, you don't have to be too afraid, right......" Tang Zhan saw that he was just fighting a battle, or winning a battle, Lu Jing was worried about Lu Ling, Tang Zhan was afraid that Lu Jing was worried, and couldn't help but feel comforted.
Lu Jing shook her head, and said with a slightly calm expression: "No, my judgment has always been very accurate, although I have only fought once, but I can see that this Lu Ling's talent is definitely above the ancient martial arts generals......"
"You're ...... Did you think of any way to deal with Lu Ling?" Tang Zhan continued to ask with concern.
"No one is perfect, no matter how talented he is, he will have weaknesses...... with his long experience in the military, Lu Jing said calmly, "As long as we find his weaknesses and break them at one point, we can defeat him...... As long as Lu Ling is defeated, the Luoyang strategy will be no problem......"
"Then does Lu Ling have any weaknesses?" Tang Zhan continued to ask.
"I haven't found it yet,...... Lu Jing shook her head, and said in her heart, "So, we must find an opportunity to find Lu Ling's weakness...... Fool, how is the recuperation in the army?"
"It's not bad, most of the main force was just an ambush last night, and it wasn't affected by too much fatigue...... Only Brother Qin Yu was a little injured last night, and his war horse ......" Tang Zhan responded, looking at Lu Jing's suddenly firm eyes, and said with uneasiness, "What...... What's wrong, Jing'er?"
Lu Jing seemed to have made up her mind, and said categorically: "Order, the whole army will be sent to Luoyang, and stay in the camp of the Qin brothers to stand by - now we have to hurry up and launch an attack on Luoyang!"
"Jing'er, you...... Isn't it true?" Tang Zhan said incredulously when he heard this, "Although the troops are recuperating well, they just finished fighting last night, and now they are sent to Luoyang, which is too hasty...... Or are you too anxious?"
"If we can't find Lu Ling's weakness, we will never be able to defeat him-" Lu Jing said unusually firmly, "and the opportunity to find his weakness is to engage him three times and twice, and his weakness in the fighter plane will naturally be revealed...... We don't have to take it in one fell swoop, just to fight Lu Ling - this battle, I will definitely find a way to defeat Lu Ling!"
"Okay, it's all up to you......" Tang Zhan felt that what Lu Jing said was not unreasonable, so he agreed to acquiesce, "The troops returned to the camp last night, and the establishment has not been dispersed, as long as the armament is ready, it can go out at any time...... Let Brother Qin Yu and Sister Ying stay in the camp to recuperate, this time the troops will be sent to Luoyang, let's go!"
"Okay, I'll go out and gather troops now, and call Sister Su to ...... together" Lu Jing seemed to be impatient, a long-lost excitement surged into her heart, and shouted at Lao Jiu beside her, "Lao Jiu, come with me, and leave the issue of strengthening the supply of armaments to you-"
"I know, I'll leave it to the old man-" After Lao Jiu agreed, he and Lu Jing left the tent......
Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian stayed in the camp, looking at Lu Jing's "excitement", they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they were stunned on the side......
"In my opinion, it must be the guy named 'Lu Ling' who has stimulated Sister Jing......" Seeing that Lu Jing was gone, Xiao Tian continued to tease, "Sister Jing was still lifeless a few days ago, but after fighting with Lu Ling last night, she immediately changed into a person, I have never seen her so motivated...... I think this Lu Ling is indeed not simple, if I have the opportunity, I would like to get close to see it in person......"
Tang Zhan watched Lu Jing leave, he was worried just now, and his expression suddenly smiled......
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Tian noticed and couldn't help but ask.
Tang Zhan said slowly: "It's nothing, I just think this might be good......
"It's good, why ......" Tang Zhan's words were inexplicable, and Xiao Tian continued to ask.
Tang Zhan responded: "In the first battle of Bianliang, the Zichuan brothers sacrificed, and Jing'er has always been immersed in pain and sadness, and her mood is very low...... But the appearance of this Lu Ling made Jing'er cheer up, and now Jing'er seems to have forgotten the previous pain and regained her motivation - watching Jing'er recover from her grief, there is nothing better than this!"
"In this way, we have to thank this Lu Ling......" Xiao Tian shook his head and said slowly, "It's a pity, he is our enemy......"
"Yes, what if he wasn't our enemy...... Tang Zhan whispered, and suddenly felt something...... (To be continued.) )
