Chapter 486(1/2)
"Now that Your Majesty is here in person, the morale of the soldiers and soldiers will be greatly boosted. They will surely conquer Tongguan and restore Chang'an!"
When Liu Yan, the governor of Sizhou, was extremely excited when he said this.
This time, the battle at Tongguan was because he seized the opportunity to attack, pierced the virtual reality of the Huns, and allowed the Han army to see hope of breaking through Tongguan.
If it weren't for this, the steep pass ahead would be enough to make the Han soldiers afraid.
"But Your Majesty, Luoyang has not had much military rations. Now that your Majesty's central army has increased by tens of thousands, it may be difficult to support it."
As the governor of Sizhou, Liu Yan naturally knew the situation in Luoyang.
Luoyang has long been extremely empty, and the food and grass in the city are at most suitable for the Sizhou army.
If more than 30,000 people came to Zi’s central army today, that would definitely be insufficient.
"Don't worry about this!"
After hearing Liu Yan's concerns, Liu Yu didn't care at all.
"This time, I not only brought 30,000 elite troops in the central army, but also tens of thousands of stones of food and grass, which is definitely enough!"
"Food and grass? Where are the grains?" When Liu Yan, the governor of Sizhou, heard this, his eyes immediately shone.
If there is enough food and supplies, Tongguan will be 100% sure.
"The food and grass I transferred from Jizhou and Qingzhou, but they are still on the road ahead."
Liu Yu said here, and pointed his hand at Tongguan in front of him.
"I'm going to order all the troops that our army is full of food and food, and there is no worries!"
"The entire army is divided into two parts, and the city is constantly attacking the city day and night. We must not give the barbarians in the city a chance to breathe!"
When Liu Yan, Zhao Kun and other generals next to him heard this, they immediately went down to spread the troops.
Not only that, Liu Yu also ordered the attendants of the Langguan who came with the army to take out a thousand official positions and report to him.
"These confessions are rewarded to meritorious soldiers, and there is no need to be awarded after the war. They are distributed to the commanders of each army. As long as the meritorious soldiers are, they can immediately write their names and merits, and then hand them to me, and give them to the reward on the spot!"
Everyone was very surprised when they heard this.
However, the generals next to them were all excited.
This method of awarding merit on the spot is much better than receiving rewards based on merit after the war.
Because if you are rewarded after the war, many merits will be awarded to the living soldiers. As for the dead soldiers, they will only be granted pensions and will not be awarded to official positions.
Now that you are granted a meritorious official position on the spot, even if you die in battle, you can pass it on to your son or brother.
When this order was issued, there was another cheer in the entire Han army array.
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
....
Hu Yanyan, the general of the chariot and cavalry of the Huns, looked at the Han army outside the city, as if they were fed with chicken blood, and the worries in his heart couldn't help but aggravate again.
"If this continues, how can Tongguan be defended!"
A Hun general next to him muttered in a low voice.
The other Hun generals did not speak, but the expressions on their faces had already revealed their thoughts.
Obviously, they all felt that this time Tongguan was really unable to be defended.
"Not to mention how many reinforcements the Qingzhou thieves came, just say that the personal soldiers of the fake thief Liu Yu have been in war for several years and have not been defeated. This time I am afraid that you and I can't stop it!"
The general saw that everyone agreed with him in silence, and became even more bold in his heart.
After all, even the main general Hu Yanyan did not scold or stop him.
"Then what do you think you want to do?"
General Hu Yanyan raised his eyelids and looked at him with neither joy nor anger.
The general immediately felt relieved when he heard this, "General, I think we might as well take advantage of the opportunity to abandon the city and return west while the thieves in Qingzhou have not yet made any efforts to attack the city. We will join forces with His Majesty to eliminate the thieves who landed in the Wei River first, and then make plans for the long term."
When everyone heard this, they immediately agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, long-term plan!"
"Yes, General, our retreat has been cut off. If we do not destroy the thief troops coming from the Wei River, how can we defend the city with peace of mind?"
"General, this plan is a perfect plan! If you defend the lonely city to the death, you will never win."
Hearing the suggestions of these generals, General Hu Yanyan, the ches and cavalry, was unmoved at all.
Hu Yanyan even snorted coldly at first, and then said slowly.
"The bandits outside the city never relaxed at all about siege. If our army evacuated westward, they would definitely be captured by them!"
"At that time, wouldn't our army be attacked from both sides?"
After hearing Hu Yanyan's words, the general who wanted to give up Tongguan still refused to give up.
"General, if the bandit army coming from the Wei River is not eliminated, how can our army defend Tongguan!"
General Hu Yanyan suddenly reached out to interrupt him.
Hu Yanyan's face seemed to have a layer of frost. After scanning everyone coldly, he said very sternly.
"The bandit army coming up from the Wei River will have His Majesty's elite troops to deal with them!"
"Our responsibility is to defend Tongguan to the death and wait for Your Majesty's reinforcements!"
"After all, this natural danger in Tongguan is, even if the bandit army intensifies its attack on the city, it will never conquer it immediately!"
Although the Hun generals were a little reluctant when they heard this, they were all afraid to speak due to the authority of the General Cheqi and Cavalry.
Hu Yanyan saw the reluctance and cowardice in everyone's hearts, and immediately said in a more stern voice.
"No matter what the reason, no one is allowed to leave Tongguan half a step!"
"If anyone dares to give up the city again, he will not forgive him!"
When all the generals heard this, they all shrank their necks and respectfully accepted the order.
After everyone was ordered to go back to restrain their subordinates, General Hu Yanyan, the ches and cavalry, stayed alone in the city of Guancheng.
At this time, the Han army outside the city was repairing the siege equipment, giving the Hun soldiers on the top of the city a chance to breathe.
Hu Yanyan couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, no wonder the generals wanted to give up Tongguan. The Huns were all used to fighting like the wind. This kind of battle where they were trapped in the city and beaten up by the enemy was really a test of their nature.
Most of the Hun soldiers could not bear such torture.
"Your Majesty, I can wait for you in Tongguan for my life!"
General Hu Yanyan turned his head and looked to the west side of Tongguan, chanting softly.
At this time, the sun was gradually starting to set.
However, there were still no signs of Xiongnu reinforcements on the road in the distance.
"Maybe your Majesty's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow morning!"
General Hu Yanyan began to pray in his heart. According to the message he received, today should be a war.
There are still no defeated soldiers from the Han army or reinforcements from the Xiongnu are still present, which means that the battle has not yet ended.
Just when Hu Yanyan was constantly looking forward to the reinforcements of the Hun Emperor Liu Yao, he didn't know that this reinforcement was impossible.
.....
"Defeated!"
"Defeated!"
Amid the terrifying shouts, the black Hun soldiers retreated like a tide.
Many people threw away their weapons and armor just to escape faster.
"kill!"
Behind them, thousands of infantry soldiers wearing iron armor and holding ring-headed swords were chasing and slashing.
Some Hun cavalry wanted to go and block the response, but were blocked by the defeated soldiers of friendly troops.
In this way, we could only watch the Han soldiers rush out of the array and chase the backward Xiongnu soldiers.
The face of the Hun Emperor Liu Yao had turned blue and purple, and anger and shock had occupied his heart.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you can't do it today. It's better to withdraw your troops and build a camp and fight again tomorrow!"
A confidant general said carefully.
At this time, the sky gradually became dim, and after a while, the Hun army would not be able to attack at night.
"I have been good at archery, horse riding and shooting since I was a child. The arrows I shoot through iron plates. I have been commanding troops for more than ten years and have won more than one hundred in size!"
The Hun Emperor Liu Yao looked ahead with a pale face and said.
