In autumn, the grass withered, and the fire spread out with the momentum of gathering and rolling. Thick smoke spread from the horizon like dark clouds.
In the vast Songshan Mountain, I don’t know how many creatures will lose their lives in this fire
I don’t know how many lives it can save?
The heaven and earth tremble for it
On the 30-mile official road from Dongling Pass to Luoyang, a team of more than two thousand people with bronze helmets and bronze armor were rushing in the dark.
The leader was a veteran general over 60 years old riding a tall horse.
Needless to say, this person was General Yao Luoyun who came from Hulao Pass.
A horse cried suddenly, and a horse Xi Yu rushed from behind to Yao Luoyun.
That was a young man in armor who could ride on a horse. It seemed that he should be an official in the army.
The man tied the horse rope and said respectfully to Yao Luoyun who was thinking, "General, look at the sky--" and pointed to the sky with the red clouds in the distance.
Yao Luoyun raised his head from the thoughts and saw colorful clouds in the sky, and thick black smoke rose from the sky under the clouds.
"How could a fire catch in the deep mountains?" Yao Luoyun had rich experience and naturally knew what was going on when he saw it.
"General, do you mean someone deliberately set fire?" The young man was also a delicate person. Yao Luoyun understood what was going on at a glance.
"Is it possible to hunt late at night? As far as I know, there is an ancient white sand road winding between Songshan Mountain. The fire is unknown, and I am afraid there will be monsters." The old general talked to himself for a while, then frowned and shouted loudly at the young man beside him, "Yan Jiao, please send me the order, and the whole army will advance at full speed."
"It's my subordinates obey the order." Yan Xiaowei responded loudly, then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head to run back, yelling loudly while running, "Transfer General Yao's order, the entire army must advance at full speed without any mistakes-"
As the sound fell, the thunderous footsteps drew neatly from the official road to Dongling Pass.
With less than two incense sticks and two thousand soldiers rushed to Baishaji.
At this time, the white sand gathering is like hell on earth, with fireworks everywhere, bloody
The broken wine shop, the broken walls, the broken body, the blood flowing from the water has long reflected the tributaries of Ying River.
The bodies included soldiers wearing copper helmets and iron armor, villagers wearing mao clothes, old men and children... were like purgatory on earth.
Seeing this miserable face, the two thousand soldiers stood on the spot in amazement. What a tragic massacre, the chickens and dogs were uneasy.
Just as they were immersed in horror and grief, fires rose again from Dongling Pass ten miles away, and then the deafening sound of fighting came from afar.
Yao Luoyun looked at the fire in the distance in tears and murmured to himself: "It's too late to come late, Dongling Pass has lost Guo Yi Ren, Guo Yi Ren, you misled me, you are a sinner for the ages, and when Dongling Pass loses, Hulao Pass will be attacked from both sides. Hahaha-Luoyang is in danger." Yao Luoyun laughed miserably at the end of his speech.
The young Yan Xiaowei was also standing next to Yao Luoyun silently, with a sad expression and a stern voice: "General, are we going to save the pass?"
Yao Luoyun shook his head and sighed: "It's too late. I don't know who it is to break through the gate and how many people are. We only have two thousand soldiers and horses to guard the gate. We are powerless to seize the gate. Yan Xiaowei sent an order to scatter into Songshan, and sent a meticulous scout to find out clearly. Don't pay attention to the whereabouts of my nephew General Wang."
"Yes - my subordinates understand"
"By the way, I'll send 800 miles to report to Luoyang - and I'll also send someone to inquire about the news about Hulao Pass, hoping not to make any mistakes."
"Yes, I'll do it now."
The dawn broke out in the sky, and the dawn was reflected on the waters of Yinghe River as bright as blood.
Two thousand Hulao Pass soldiers were scattered silently in the mountains, some leaning on the trunks, and some lying in the bushes. They had been traveling for a day last night, and they saw the miserable face of Baisha last night, and they were already exhausted physically and mentally.
At this moment, a few birds cries came from afar. Then several people dressed as woodcutters walked into the forest carefully and came to Yao Luoyun with a familiar path.
"Is there any news?" Yao Luoyun looked at the scouts with a blue face and asked in a deep voice.
"Report to General, I have found out clearly. The one who won the pass ahead was General Longhu, who claimed that there were about 10,000 people in the black bear."
The Huainan Army, indeed the Huainan Army, Lao Yao Luoyun's eyes flashed. It seemed that they were rebelling.
"Where is General Wang who guards the pass?"
"I heard from people in the city that General Wang was injured and rescued by a soldier named Gou Sheng, jumped into Yinghe and disappeared."
"Okay" This is the only good news I heard. Yao Luoyun's face cleared a little, "Did you know when they will set off?"
"This little guy didn't find out, but according to the little guy's observation, they repaired the city walls inside and outside the pass, and it seemed that they were doing a long-term offense and defense."
Yao Luoyun frowned when he heard this. Soldiers are the most powerful. What is the intention of this general of Dragon and Tiger?
But they only have 10,000 troops. It is obviously impossible for them to force Luoyang. So they should be waiting for their successors? The Huainan Army is known as a 300,000 army, and it is impossible for them to detour the Dongling troops to force Luoyang. In this way, this large group of troops should be in Hulao. They are waiting for news about Hulao.
After all, Yao Luoyun is an old general. After all, he understood the Huainan Army's overall plan at this detail. Now he only hopes that General Guo Yiren can defend Hulao Pass steadily and wait for the kings and kings in various places to annihilate the enemy outside the pass. This situation is broken, and what he has to do now is to delay the ten thousand Huainan Army so that they cannot take into account both the head and tail. But how can these two thousand personal soldiers hold the brave and good at fighting against the ten thousand Huainan Army?
Yan Xiaowei, who was next to the "General", obviously thought of something. He stepped forward and said to Yao Luoyun, "The Dragon and Tiger General should be waiting for the troops to slow down. According to his subordinates' speculation, we can just hold them back."
Yao Luoyun nodded secretly, as if she was a personal soldier she had trained, and even her way of thinking coincided.
"Then tell me, how can I hold them back?"
"The mountains are high and dense, so we will introduce them into Songshan Mountain and then disperse and annihilate them."
Yao Luoyun shook his head and said, "Their purpose is clear this time, and it may not be easy to introduce it into the mountains."
"What should I do?"
Yao Luoyun obviously didn't think of any other method. He lowered his head and walked a few steps: "There is no other way for the time being. I'm sending my order and ordered Chen Xiaowei to lead a team of two hundred people along the Baisha Ancient Road to the outside of the pass to feint attack, and wait for news from Luoyang and Hulao Pass."
"Yes, I'll go now."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the next two days, Yao Luoyun's soldiers hid in the mountains and waited for news from both sides.
In the afternoon of that day, the entire army spent lunch and were resting in the forest. Scouts sent to Luoyang and Hulao Pass successively heard bad news.
The fall of Hulao Pass Guo Yiren was beheaded on the east bank of the Sishui River in the early morning of the day he left the pass. He heard that the Huainan army lured the enemy with sex and was captured by Wen Tailai, a general under General Jinwu. The 20,000 Chang'an soldiers brought by Guo Yiren, who surrendered and fled, were almost completely lost.
Luoyang's first literary general, General Shangguan, had also led hundreds of imperial guards back to Zhangye a few days ago. At this time, Luoyang defended the city with the imperial guards General Chen Jian, the commander of the imperial guards. The imperial guards guarded the city were less than 20,000. When they reported to Daxing Palace, all the civil and military officials were frightened, and some even ordered their families to clean up their fine lines and fled to Guanzhong (direction of Chang'an).
"Oh--" Yao Luoyun sighed, "It's really a turbulent autumn. Once Hulao Pass is broken, Luoyang can't be defended. The recent Jin Mansion soldiers will be able to arrive in ten days. Besides, even if the Jin Mansion soldiers come, they are no longer the opponent of the Huainan Army in terms of number."
Just as Yao Luoyun was feeling the current situation was getting worse, the Seizuo sent to Dongling Pass was also back. General Longhu, who had been guarding Dongling Pass, left behind a thousand troops, leading the nearly 10,000 Huainan troops and nearly 1,000 surrendered troops from Dongling Pass gathered in a mighty manner towards Baisha. Judging from this situation, General Longhu also received news that Hulao Pass had a great victory, and two groups of soldiers forced Luoyang to come.
Although Yao Luoyun speculated the entire plan of the Huainan Army, he only had two thousand troops in his hands and was naturally powerless about the overall situation.
Forget it, I have to sacrifice my life for the country
When Yao Luoyun thought of this, he stood up and shouted at his personal soldiers: "My sons, it's time for us to serve the emperor, but are you afraid of unjust ministers?"
Qianyu Hulaoguan stood up in unison and shouted loudly: "I am not afraid, I am willing to serve the general, I am willing to serve the emperor."
"Okay, I am worthy of being the good man of this general." Yao Luoyun's old face was as cold as iron and said sadly, "Justice Chen sent someone to repay him. The brothers of Huainan rebels were in the exchange of Huofan Donglingguan. It was a terrible sight for you guys. You guys also saw that the white sand gathered below and the chickens and dogs were uneasy. The rebels were fierce, and the world could not tolerate them."
When Yao Luoyun talked about the brothers from Huofan Donglingguan in Tonglaiting, a sudden flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of an excellent strategy of winning 10,000.
"The heaven and earth do not tolerate it, so I swear to repay the brothers in Donglingguan." With the encouragement of Yao Luoyun, all of them were very motivated.
"Okay," Yao Luoyun shouted loudly, "My boys, I'll take you to kill you today."
Yao Luoyun said this and turned to Yan Xiaowei on the side and said, "Yan Xiaowei, you bring five hundred people to the upper reaches of Ying River to store water, and we flood white sand."
Yan Xiaowei was happy when he heard this. Baishaji was located in the basin, and the terrain was lowered within ten miles. Since Baishaji people could lead the Ying River water over, they could naturally resist the enemy with water.
"Yes," Yan Xiaowei replied loudly, "General, he will do it now."
"The key point of this plan is to attract the enemy. I will be in Baisha Gathering in person. When you hear the cannons, you will dig the water of Ying River into Baisha Gathering," Yao Luoyun said seriously.
"General, come down to lead the enemy, general, you come and let the water go," Yan Jiewei said worriedly.
Yao Luoyun nodded with relief and said, "I understand what you mean, water and fire are ruthless, and if you have nothing to do, you will withdraw early and hide in Songshan. It is my general who will lead the enemy. After digging the river, you will quickly take people back and hide in a high place. We will beat the dogs in the water."
"I'm a subordinate and go here"...
