Chapter 38: The Destruction of Jiuquan City (2)
However, this is also expected by Liang Yin, before Fuqu Mengxun and others led the army to the east, and a few days ago I heard that there was civil strife in the Fuqu Department, and now it is good to be able to send people.
Besides, Luo Qiu is Meng Xun and Nancheng's uncle after all, and he personally went out to give face. What's more, the elite level of Lu Shuihu's soldiers is not comparable to ordinary armies.
In the past, the Xiongnu crisscrossed the desert north, Rao was an eloquent and strategic figure like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Wei Qinghuo Quai, a world-famous general, also relied on the accumulation of decades of the Han family and countless white bones to drive the Huns away. Nowadays, the Lushuihu people have moved west instead of south, although the upper echelons of the tribe also admire the Han culture, Meng Xun and others also read poetry and books and practiced etiquette and music, but the bow and horse did not fall at all, as for the ordinary people, they usually graze cattle and sheep, and when they fight, the men are all soldiers, and the horses and weapons are all brought by themselves. They grew up on horseback, and archery and hunting were good at it; Charging into battle, it is even more like a wolf and a tiger. With this army in hand, Liang Yin's confidence has increased greatly.
At the front of Lu Shuihu's cavalry team was a flying dragon banner, and the man under his banner was about forty years old, tall and large, and his face was very vicious. It's just that his dress is really interesting, but I see that he is wearing a fox fur hat, a pheasant feather is obliquely inserted in the back of his head, a white fox tail hanging from his ears, two big noses and eyes, like a rat hole, fanning his ears, and wearing a gold ring. I don't know, I thought it was the horn of the Guzang City Juggling Troupe.
However, he was wearing gold armor, a heart shield on his chest, a heart shield on his back, a leopard skin on his waist, a scimitar under his left ribs, a bow and arrow under his right ribs, cowhide combat boots, a pointed thick bottom, and a spotted BMW with a flat end of a panmen knife in his palm.
Needless to say, that is the great chief of Lu Shuihu.
At this time, Fuqu Luo Qiu can personally lead the army to help, like sending charcoal in the snow, Liang Yin is naturally very grateful, he immediately threw the stirrup off the saddle and got off the war horse, and bowed to Fuqu Luo Qiu and said: "Uncle is on top, and the angry little nephew is in armor, it is inconvenient to be polite, please forgive me." After speaking, he bowed deeply.
As the big chief, Luo Qiu dealt with Zhang Tianxi in Liangzhou back then, and now he has a good relationship with Liang Xi, and his cultivation in Sinology is also very good. immediately dismounted, held Liang Yin, and said with a smile: "The governor doesn't need to be polite, as the commander of the whole army, it is not appropriate for you to salute me, I should give you a salute!" â
Uncle smiled. My nephew is still young and inexperienced, and now the enemy is menacing, and my Liangzhou is attacked on both sides, it is a time of crisis, this is the great plan to protect my Liangzhou, and I have to rely on my uncle's great help! Liang Yin said modestly.
"That's nature." Frustrated Luo Qiu was also quite heroic and patted his chest, "Don't say anything else, even for the sake of Brother Zhijun and your nephew, Uncle I will never stand idly by." This time I brought 3000 iron horses, although it is a little less, but don't dislike it, nephew, all of them are my own soldiers, all of them are heroes, I heard that you want to reinforce Jiuquan, that Lu Guang's green cavalry is said to be very powerful, I just happened to compete with him! â
Liang Yin was overjoyed, he was very worried about this, although he also brought cavalry, but the green cavalry is like Lu Guang's private soldiers, all of them have been cultivated by Lu Guang since childhood, absolutely loyal ministers, strong combat effectiveness, if the flank is attacked when reinforcing Jiuquan, it is a very troublesome thing, but Luo Qiu actually brought a real family background to help, with these 3000 iron horses, Liang Yin only felt like a tiger with wings!
After all, the prestige of the Hun cavalry back then, Liang Yin, as a Han Chinese, certainly knew it in his heart.
"Since my uncle is so generous, I don't thank you for my kindness, and when I retreat from the Lu Guang rebels, Liangzhou will definitely not treat my uncle badly." Liang Yin said gratefully.
"Hey~" Frustrated Luo Qiu waved his hand, "The family doesn't speak two words." Governor! You see my men are here too, let's ......."
"The soldiers are fast, there is no news about the situation in Jiuquan now, presumably the anti-thieves are besieging very tightly, and arriving in Jiuquan a day earlier will have one more chance of winning, I mean, my uncle led the army to be parallel to our army, and by the way, he protected the flanks to prevent the thieves from attacking the green cavalry, what does my uncle think?"
"You are the Governor of the Metropolis, just do as you say!" Frustrated, Luo Qiu generously agreed.
"In this way, we can reach Jiuquan in two days as fast as we can, and three days as slow as possible, and if so, Liangzhou will be safe." Liang Yin said confidently.
It's just that Duan Ye will definitely not give him that long.
The next day, the sun had just risen, and LĂź Guang, Du Jin, Yang Ying, LĂź You and others, with all the soldiers and horses of the Western Expeditionary Army, gathered at the foot of Jiuquan City.
Because today is the day when Duan Ye promised to break the city!
had already lined up with the assembled fifty boulder cannons under Jiuquan City, looking at the soldiers standing at the head of the city, and seeing them still conscientiously guarding their posts, Duan Ye's heart suddenly flashed a trace of unbearability.
They are not wrong, they just want to defend their homeland, Song Hao is a real good official in this era, and in general, he is an aggressor on his side.
They could have avoided such a crushing defeat that was almost doomed, and such a thing as a boulder cannon was something beyond this era, and if it weren't for themselves, it wouldn't have appeared at all. In other words, their disasters are self-inflicted.
But what can be done? In troubled times, there is no reason to talk about it. Fists are the truth!
Duan Ye also just wanted to ...... Stay alive!
In order to survive, you have to do everything that seems to be contrary to your past morals and worldview. Soon, Duan Ye became like a stone again! The countless busy soldiers in the city, in Duan Ye's opinion, were no different from the dead. And Song Hao's decades-long reputation will also be ruined.
Including Song Hao, who was dressed in armor, Duan Ye also specially prepared a big gift for him, which would surely surprise Song Hao.
"Song Hao!" With the help of the megaphone, Lu Guang began to shout to Jiuquan in person, "Jiuquan City is broken, just today, the people of Jiuquan City are so innocent, why do you want to create troops and cause trouble for your own selfishness?" Don't hurry up and surrender the city! â
Song Hao at the head of the city almost laughed out loud, obviously it was you Lu Guang who led the troops to return to the east without permission for personal ambitions and wanted to grab the territory, it seems that the thief shouts to catch the thief, and it can never be changed! Therefore, Song Hao raised his voice lightly and said: "Lu Guang is a thief, now that you are under the fortified city, and Guzang reinforcements, it will be in a moment, the day of your defeat is not far away, if you hand over the army, tie your hands, dismount and surrender, but I can ask His Majesty the King for your guilt, and it is estimated that I can save your life!" Without the help of a megaphone, Song Hao shouted almost hoarsely, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Hahahahaha......" Lu Guanghong laughed, and then Du Jin and the others also laughed, and then the whole army laughed.
