Chapter 798: The Battle of Luoshui (12)
The cavalry of the Yuan family were all extremely elite, although they did not get Zhao Yun's order, but when they saw the fire above, they immediately realized that there was an opportunity, so they quickly rushed out of their hiding place and took advantage of the chaos to kill the crow ridge. The defenders on the ridge were not very familiar with the people brought by Zhou Jing, and these cavalrymen were all wearing the same military uniforms, and they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe for a while, so the three sides scuffled, and the chaos was inseparable.
Zhou Jing and Zheng Bao fought against Zhao Yun, and his heart became more and more frightened, seeing that the fire was getting bigger, he shouted: "Leave those people alone, go and put out the fire." ”
A shot from Zhao Yun's brush passed past Zhou Jing's ear, scraping his injured left cheek with a hot pain, Zhou Jing suddenly didn't dare to distract himself anymore, and only cautiously saw the move, for fear that Zhao Yun would hurt the other side of his face again. Zheng Bao was covered with injuries, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he could only curse secretly in his heart, where did this young man come from, his marksmanship is so good, it seems that today's things are only afraid of being more auspicious.
As more and more cavalry rushed up, the defenders lost their geographical advantage, and their bows and crossbows were difficult to get close, and they were chased and killed by these cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables. They resisted for a while, and then suddenly shouted in unison, and fled in all directions, unable to organize a decent resistance again. Zhou Jing saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had to sigh and go with Zheng Bao.
Zhao Yun didn't come to chase him, but he killed the remnants of the enemy on the ridge, and lit all the granaries everywhere, this fire burned so much that the candles and flames were all over the ground, and the grains of rice and grain were turned into coke, and Zhao Yun was satisfied to pack up his men and horses and return to the army.
The grain and grass in Yaling is the foundation of the army, and now that the fire is on the mountain, how can the Quartet troops not be in a hurry? When Wang Yuan, the general stationed in Yichuan, heard the news, he immediately rushed to Yaling with his subordinates to fight the fire, and met Zhao Yun on the way. He recognized that these cavalrymen were wearing their own clothes and armor, and asked Zhao Yun unguardedly what happened, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yun stabbed him off his horse with a single shot, and then pulled out his fish intestine sword and slashed it, killing the eight generals on their backs.
But said that the Hou of Hefei hated Kan Ze for not raising the boat effectively, and the second hated that the Baiyue people had beaten Luoshui but were still driven back, and he was venting his anger.
Hefei Hou watched it for a long time, and suddenly tears fell from his eyes: "Years of hard work have been destroyed once they are destroyed, what will happen to this?" ”
Kan Ze said: "Don't panic, Master Hou, now we are in a desperate situation, and we can only take Luoyang with our backs." The sergeant was immediately ordered to bury the pot to make food, and immediately after the meal was full, he destroyed the stove and cauldron and crossed the river to attack. Luoyang was already empty, and he divided a part of his troops to attack and harass Raven Ridge, so he should be able to go down with one drum. ”
Hefei Hou said: "Have you raised enough boats?" How do you cross the river without a boat? ”
"When the heroes of the Baiyue passed, we all saw that the Luoshui was not very deep, about enough to flood the chest, and at this level, as long as you know a little bit of water, you can pass through the water, even if you don't understand the water, as long as you have the courage, you can rush through."
The Marquis of Hefei thought for a while, he can still retreat with a whole army now, and he has not shown up in front of people, if he can return to Hefei, with the support of the Empress Dowager Dong, maybe he can continue to be his virtuous marquis. But in the past ten years, the general He Jin has never left Luoyang, and now it is rare to have such a good opportunity, should he let it go easily?
After thinking about it, Hefei Hou Si finally had a desire for power, and waved his hand and said: "If you win, you will be glorious and rich, and you will be famous in history, and if you lose, you will just lose your head, and you can gamble on it." He then told the archers to move forward against the shore, clearing a large blank space on the opposite side, and at the same time ordering the Baiyue tribes to take out the steel shields from the rear camp and prepare to attack.
As early as the last time the Baiyue people crossed the river, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, came to the city wall, wanting to experience the pleasure of a royal expedition again. The first few waves of attack and defense were exciting, so that he didn't dare to take an extra bite of the battlements, until the earth and mountains were built, and the Baiyue people were all driven across the river, Liu Hong's face only showed some smiles, and Zhang Rang Yuan Shu and others who accompanied him were naturally full of words, and all the credit was counted on the wise and martial emperor, which made Liu Hong very happy, revealing a proud posture of staring at the vertical and horizontal, and it was nothing more than that.
At this moment, seeing dozens of stainless steel shields raised from the opposite side, Liu Hong asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what are these traitors going to do?" ”
Yuan Shu is also a family scholar, and immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the enemy army uses a big shield to protect itself, and it may still have to cross the river to attack." ”
Liu Hong was taken aback: "They want to attack? Am I going to go back to the palace? ”
Zhang Rang has been instructed by Xu You in the past few days, if he can let the Son of Heaven stay in the army, it will naturally be much better than breaking the palace and searching for people, not to mention that there is still Empress Dowager Dong in the palace who is not good to live in, that is, Hefei Hou Dededen Dabao, and he also wants to live in these palaces now, and it is good not to destroy nature without destroying it.
He immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty is personally on the expedition, how dare these little people take the dragon's beard lightly? I think that with just an edict, I can wipe out the enemy. Your Majesty might as well set up a city and laugh at the soldiers to break the enemy. Liu Hong was overjoyed, he really stopped driving the arrow tower, depending on the power of his personal expedition.
Standing on the earth mountain, Qiu Ming had already seen the fire in the south, and knew that Zhao Yun had won it, and he was very happy. But soon he saw the smoke rising from the camp opposite, and tens of thousands of archers rushed forward to the bank of the river, many of them even down to the shallow water and knees, and dozens of large steel shields swept over like hydrangeas rolling on the ground, and soon entered Luoshui.
Koji Yi stammered: "Obediently, they are really willing to pay the cost, I may be able to shoot through the iron shield, but there is no way to do such a steel shield." ”
Chen Gong's face changed and said, "Look at it like this, they are about to launch a general attack." ”
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The grain and grass are burned, if you don't retreat as soon as possible, you will have to fight to the death." However, after all, they are passively seeking to fight, and the initiative to fight or not to fight is still with us, so there is no need to worry. ”
Fu Zhu looked at Chen Gong, and then at Cheng Yu: "The other side is burying the pot and cooking, if you don't order to prepare dinner, you will be hungry and fight at night." ”
Cheng Yu immediately came to his senses, and while instructing the Huotou army to cook food as soon as possible, he also informed Zhang He to return the Euphorbia Warrior's auxiliaries to the city, and at the same time guarded the city gate and did not allow anyone to approach. If the people of the city cross the river and tear down the bridge and close the gates of the city when there will be a fierce fight, they will have to fight the people outside the city.
Waiting until the autumn and Ming they hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food, the 200,000 troops on the opposite side were also ready to stop, accompanied by the rumbling war drums, a phalanx and a square position towards Luoshui, and at the same time the Chinese army played two big flags, one black flag with a big Liu written on it, and the other red flag clearly written Hefei.
