156 Down Town
"Hurry, send the order to the D-level demon story!" Li Congke stood up straight, suppressed the panic in his heart, and ordered: "If you send the order, the three armies will immediately decapitate the camp and return to Luoyang!"
"Then? What about those siege equipment? Do you have to keep troops to guard?" The captain looked at Li Congke in amazement. (Pure-text novel)
"Don't care what you do, burn them all! Burn them all!" Li Congke waved his arm impatiently. The current situation was very clear. The Wu army came from the south and had cut off the origin from the east. Guanzhong was the hostile He Chang in the west. Although Luoyang City was a strong city defense, due to the large area of the city, the remaining defenders were not enough to guard such a long city wall. Not to mention that the loyalty of these Liang troops who had just surrendered to him was extremely limited. Who knows whether they would surrender Luoyang City as a rank of promotion and surrendered to the Wu army. At that time, he and the tens of thousands of surrendered troops were blocked between Yiyang and Luoyang, and were attacked from both sides, but there was only a dead end. One. The only way to live is to rush back to Luoyang before falling. With the strong city walls to resist the attack of the Wu army, even if you can't resist, you can leave the city and retreat from Mengjin Crossing the River to Hanoi. If you keep your troops to continue besieging the city, not only will your troops be dispersed, but more importantly, once these besieged troops learn that they will not return, they will immediately merge with the defenders in the city, which will trouble the Tibetan password 2. In comparison, burning siege equipment will make the defenders in Yiyang City find that the trouble caused by their retreat will be insignificant. After all, the troops of the two sides are very different, and the possibility of the defenders daring to go out of the city to pursue them is not high.
"Here!" The captain saw the panic under the command of the chief general, responded quickly and ran out quickly. After a while, there were waves of commands from outside. Li Congke paced back and forth in the tent in anger for a few times, suddenly stopped and kicked the cases next to him with a sudden kick, sighed: "Damn, thank you for so much hard work, it was all in vain, all for that guy Lu Fang!"
Outside the Jinyang Gate of Luoyang, groups of newly recruited civilians and Liang army surrendered soldiers were digging trenches and building camps under the supervision of Wu soldiers, and flags flew for more than ten miles. This Jinyang Gate is the most west of the four gates in the south of Luoyang City in the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. Because the Luoshui River happened to enter the city from here, it was called Jinmen, also known as Jinyang Gate. Because the Luoyang City at that time was the Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties established during the Daye period, it was located about 18 miles west of Luoyang City in the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the scale was very large. After the Huangchao Rebellion, the population decreased greatly and there were many in the city. Duofang City was not crowded at all. The defenders set up camps to defend Luoyang City, the smaller Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, to save troops. However, although Luoyang City in the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties is not as large as Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has 12 gates surrounded by twenty miles east and west, fifteen miles north and south, and guarded with more than ten thousand remaining soldiers, which is still very embarrassing. "Search "" to read the fastest free novel" The guards on the city wall saw that ships transporting personnel and armies were endless on the Luo River, almost filling the river. When they looked back at their side, they couldn't help but feel scared.
At this time, a team of knights appeared in the Wu army camp, and they were about half apart from the city wall. They stopped and the guards on the city wall were pointing curiously at this side. A black-armored knight kicked the horse's belly, stepped forward for dozens of steps, and shouted loudly to the city wall: "There is someone in charge in the city, come out and speak!"
The guards on the top of the city heard this and did not dare to neglect them. The guards came to the captain. The captain looked at the black-armored knight and replied loudly: "Who is the captain of the Jinyang Gate? What's there to say?"
The black-armored knight didn't answer, took off his helmet and threw it aside, shouting, "Is it a certain family, can anyone in the city recognize?"
The captain was also a good-looking person. When he looked closely, he felt familiar. After a few more glances, he felt a layer of cold sweat oozing out of his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "Is it not that Huo Yanwei, why are you here?"
"It's a good person, it's a certain family!" Huo Yanwei shouted loudly: "In the battle of Xiangcheng that day, Zhu Youzhen abandoned his army and fled alone. The family could not bear to abandon his soldiers, so he surrendered to King Lu Fang of Wu. The situation is clear today. How can you resist the 100,000 defeated soldiers? Open the door quickly and surrender. The family guarantees that you all have a good ending. The full text of the Tibet Code 3 read!"
The captain was about to instinctively shout, but the huge force of the Wu army outside the city put a lot of pressure on him. He looked back at his subordinates behind him, and his eyes were filled with timid and begging. He swallowed his words when he was at his mouth.
Seeing that the city did not respond immediately, Huo Yanwei guessed a few points, and took a few steps forward, shouted: "You are originally Liang ** men, and they are the great enemy of life and death with Shatuo Hu Kou. After the fall of Bian Jing, they are driven by them. What's the difference between them? Don't say that you can't win this time, even if you win, the Wu army retreats south, and your homes are only owned by Shatuo people. Are you fighting hard for these?"
Hearing Huo Yanwei's words, the city immediately became turbulent. If we counted from the change of Shangyuan Post, the Xuanwu army and the Shatuo people had been fighting hard for more than 30 years. Even Li Keyong's parent-child relationship fell into Zhu Wen's hands and died at the hands of the governor of Weibo Town. There were countless other blood feuds of all sizes. After Li Siyuan defeated Bianjing, the Shatuo people under his command naturally would not be polite. These Liang troops surrendered to Li Congke due to the situation. Although Li Congke had won over the middle and senior futures, most of the low-level generals and soldiers could not take care of them. They were ridiculed and bullied, beating and scolding hard labor. Ordinary things, even if someone was slashed with an opportunity, he could only claim to be unlucky and swallow his anger. But what scared these Liang soldiers the most was that after rumored in the army that Li Congke would drive them through Hangu Pass and attack the Guanlong land after capturing Luoyang. For these generals and soldiers who were all in Guandong, leaving their hometowns and going to Guanxi, where the bitter and cold land was simply annoyed that they could not even return to their hometowns and could only be lonely ghosts. If it weren't for the Shatuo cavalry around them, someone would have been returning to their hometowns as deserters. Now hearing Huo Yanwei's words touched the pain in their hearts.
While everyone was hesitating, the Jin army supervisor brought a dozen subordinates to the city. Seeing everyone like this, he couldn't help but be furious. He pointed at Huo Yanwei who was shouting outside the city and shouted loudly: "Kill the talents, shoot the Wu thief to death, and start the attack, otherwise you dog slaves tied to the tail of the horse to death!" The army supervisor scolded, while instructing the subordinates behind him to move forward and whip the Liang army guards, and drive them to shoot Huo Yanwei who was shouting.
Suddenly a scream came from the top of the city. Almost at the same time, a strong man from Liang's army snatched the whip from the Jin army's hand and whipped it on the opponent's face. While whipping, he shouted, "Damn, these Shatuo dogs are too bullying, and they don't even leave a way out for us. It's the opposite!"
"Reverse, reverse!"
"Kill these thieves!"
A roar broke out in the crowd. Before the dozen Jin soldiers could draw their swords, they were rushed up by everyone, lifted up with all their hands and feet, threw them from the city, and immediately fell into a meat cake. The Jin army supervisor saw something wrong, turned around and wanted to escape, but the strong man grabbed the clothes and fell to the ground, and cut off his head with one knife. The man picked up his bloody head and shouted loudly: "Everyone will open the door to Huo Xiang. Let's surrender Wu Jun and go to beat Shatuo Dog together!"
Everyone responded in unison, "Go and fight Shatuogou together!" Then they rushed down and opened the city gate. The guards on the top of the city also put down the Jin army's banner and lit the fire. Huo Yanwei saw it and hurriedly led the cavalry into the city. The Wu army behind them entered one after another. The Liang army guards in the city abandoned their armor and surrendered. A few Jin army supervisors either killed the rebels and tried to find credit, or saw that something was wrong, and they fled with oil. In just half an hour, all the more than 10,000 Liang army surrendered, and Luoyang also fell into the hands of the Wu army.
The road from Yiyang to Luoyang is a section of Wushan South Road. Compared with Wushan North Road, which is famous for its steepness, the road on the South Road is far and wide, but it is also smooth and easy to walk. Moreover, the Luo River is next to it, so there is no need to worry about the army drinking water. This is a blessing for Li Congke, who is returning to the army with all his might. Otherwise, the steep mountain road alone would block the army alive and die of thirst on the mountain road.
In the post station, Li Congke was eating dry food voraciously, and the outside was full of soldiers who were fighting and feeding horses. Although he was anxious, he was also a big man on the battlefield. He knew that the more this time, the more he could not drive the soldiers too quickly, otherwise he would exhaust the troops and give the Wu army a chance to strike back. Therefore, he drove more than twenty miles and asked the soldiers to stop and rest and eat. The north and south roads of the Wushan Mountain have been important military routes since ancient times. There were stations on both sides of the road at any distance. When Li Congke marched, he stored food in the post station as a transfer station. Now he has used the retreat, which is a lucky thing.
"General, General!"
Li Congke was just eating hard, and a Jin army captain outside ran in furiously and shouted: "General, there are many dogs in the back team running away!"
"What?" Li Congke stood up and asked anxiously: "How many people have run away?"
"There are at least a thousand fives. I just took a rough look and it was not a scattered escape. Many of them were simply lost in the army and gangs!" The captain cursed: "General, I will take a hundred cavalry and I will definitely catch some of them back. All of them are hung on the trees beside the road, so as to shock these rebel slaves!"
"Forget it!" Li Congke shouted coldly and stopped his subordinates' actions. He was silent for a while and said, "Time is tight, don't delay the march, just pay attention later!"
"Here!" The captain was slightly stunned and turned around and left. He did not know the real reason for the sudden return. In order to prevent the army from changing morale, Li Congke blocked the news that Wu army came and was unstable behind him. He knew very well how unstable the Liang soldiers around him were. They were like a group of wolves. As long as the chains tied with their necks fell off from his hands, he would be torn to pieces by these hungry wolves.
