Chapter 105: Yuan Highway found nothing
Yuan Shu actually didn't care too much about Yang Xiu's child, he was angry, Yang Xiu didn't keep up, he didn't care, maybe his mind turned around, but that impression passed in an instant, Hongnong Yang's generation is not as good as Yuan's, of course, there are also regional reasons.
Since the center of the Han Dynasty moved eastward, Luoyi has become the center of the world, and Hongnong has no longer been the key position of the main road in the world, especially in Guanzhong, the Qiang people have rebelled and flattened, pacified and rebelled, back and forth, and Guanzhong has also been tossed without the foundation of the original hegemony.
The most important reason for this is naturally that the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty moved eastward, resulting in the transfer of wealth, but Hongnong Yang and other scholars, naturally not willing to be bland, want to recover, until recently, only recently established Yongzhou, but the Yang family did not take much advantage of the newly established Yongzhou, but it was the Yuan family, Runan is the first county in the world.
Wang Yue recognized these people as the dead soldiers of the Yuan clan, but he didn't care anymore, he knew very well that he was in the camp, especially now that he had reached the point where he was facing the war head-on and there was no possibility of reconciliation, he had to take a firm stand.
Since Wang Yue defeated the infantry left by the enemy, he led his army north and attacked the enemy cavalry at the gate of the arsenal.
When Yuan Shu rushed to the door of the arsenal with his men and horses, Yuan Shu stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "On the order of the Tai Lieutenant, I ordered us to strengthen the defense of the arsenal and open the door quickly!" ”
On the pier platform outside the arsenal, Cheng Peng, who was ordered to guard at this time, hesitated, "What should I do?" They said that they came on the orders of the captain, do you want to check the official defense seal letter? ”
Guo Tu, who was beside him, laughed at this time: "He said that the order of the Taiwei is the order of the Taiwei?" I also said that I am a general, and the current captain is Yuan Kui, why don't you ask him, whose order is it that he Yuan Kui is? Or is it from the imperial court? ”
Cheng Peng is not stupid, but he doesn't have much idea, he laughed twice at this time, and ordered the soldiers under his command to be on guard, and then poked his head out and said, "Are you on the order of the Yuan family or the order of the imperial court?" ”
Can this be counted separately? Yuan Shu was stunned at first, and then angry, and immediately felt that the situation was not good, and looked back at the general beside him and said, "Prepare to attack!" ”
He controlled the war horse and walked a few steps to the side, and said in a loud voice: "I am Runan Yuan Shu, wait for you to surrender quickly!" ”
With that, as soon as he pulled the reins, he turned around and ran to the rear, and the general waved his long knife and shouted, "Attack!" ”
The cavalry immediately took off their weapons and rushed forward, the defense facilities of the Han Dynasty city are different from those of later generations, that is, there are many piers in the city, and the piers are generally about two meters above the ground, which is a small simplified version of the city wall.
On the pier platform, the people who saw Yuan Shu launched a charge, Cheng Peng gave an order, the sound of bangzi, and the arrows rained down, shooting the Yuan people on their backs.
The cavalry naturally has the advantage of restraint against the infantry, but that refers to the time of the fierce battle on the battlefield, and now it is the siege and defense of the city, the opponent's infantry army has occupied the geographical advantage, condescendingly suppressed with a bow and crossbow, at this time Yuan Shu has no good way, so he had to shout loudly and let the cavalry withdraw back. In this way, dozens of men and horses were shot, but fortunately, the cavalry moved fast enough, and many people were wounded, but not many people were killed.
On the passage between the two piers, more than a dozen corpses of people and horses fell, and after the Yuan family general withdrew, he found that he had been hit by an arrow, he pulled the arrow down, and asked, "Childe, what should I do now?" Do you want to dismount and fight? ”
Yuan Shu looked at the gate of the arsenal on the other side of the road, and sighed: "The defenders' arrows were so numerous and accurate just now, there is no way for us to capture the arsenal, let's just go back and kill that Wang Yue." ”
There is no way for the cavalry to attack the city, even if it is only a simplified version, he just asked the general to lead the troops to rush, just to scare the defenders in the arsenal, hoping that the other party will surrender without a fight, but since the opposite side does not eat this set, it can only be used as a strategy.
"Don't care about these people, let's go and kill that Wang Yue, and then go to the palace and kill the ten permanent servants!"
After that, he spent some time gathering his subordinates, and after the whole team was finished, he ran towards the way he came, and as soon as he ran out, on the opposite street, there was also the sound of horses' hooves, and someone was shouting: "Disperse, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
Yuan Shu's heart was shocked at this time, isn't this the voice of the tiger general Wang Yue? In the past, he was only a juggler, and he didn't make many friends, and he heard that he had some skills, but at this time he didn't have time to think about it, and shouted wildly: "Follow me!" ”
After that, he slapped the war horse under his crotch hard, raised the horse lance and rushed over, the arrows continued to shoot head-on, and there were several screams behind him, Yuan Shu was also brave, at this time he did not slow down, he could only grit his teeth, and rushed forward, the galloping war horse raised the speed to the highest, shouted wildly, and stabbed a war horse that could not dodge.
With the speed of the horse, the sharp edge of the lance pierced through the iron armor on the opponent's body, and tore it apart along with the flesh inside, and in the scream, Yuan Shu had already penetrated the enemy's battle formation, however, when he reined in his mount and turned around, he saw that the enemy army relied on his riding skills, scattered to both sides, and then shot down his cavalry one by one with bows and arrows.
Can cavalry still be used like this?
As the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, he has to learn both civil and military affairs, and Yuan Shu is certainly not a person who does not know soldiers, but at this time, looking at Wang Yue's fighting style of commanding the army, he was greatly surprised.
This is the tactics on the grassland, there are no heavy cavalry on the grassland, because the most expensive thing on the grassland is iron, most of them are light cavalry, and the light cavalry is like a wolf pack, waiting for the opportunity, going up and biting hard, and then withdrawing, then biting and withdrawing......
The enemy can gallop back and forth, whether it is riding or archery, or weapons and horses are above their own army, although the number of enemies is small, but the strength of combat strength is not determined by the number of people.
Without the advantage of three times the strength, he didn't want to fight with such an enemy, but it was not that there was no way to defeat the enemy, the same number of heavy cavalry could, but although they had the quality of heavy cavalry, they did not have the equipment of heavy cavalry, and the most important thing was armor.
If you take the opportunity to occupy the arsenal, then you have everything, and these dead soldiers of the Yuan clan can fully exert their combat power, but the arsenal is occupied in advance, this day and night, make up your mind, and set the tactics, it can be regarded as fast, after all, the Yuan clan is involved a lot, and some things may be irretrievable if they are done.
Yuan Shu saw that there was nothing to do, so he took the cavalry to directly seek an opportunity to withdraw, nothing more than to give up some dead soldiers to block the enemy again, and after disengaging from the enemy, Yuan Shu soon saw the situation of his own infantry corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but be angry, so he shouted loudly to collect the rout, and at the same time asked the soldiers to set fire to the houses and markets on both sides of the road, along with the robbery.
After looking around, I didn't see Yang Xiu, thinking that he had already run away by taking the opportunity, so I didn't look for it again, so I looked at one at this time, smashed the door open, and drove it wantonly......
Yuan Shu himself is lawless, and the generals and soldiers under his command are naturally knowledgeable, and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses carefully cultivated by the Yuan clan is not weak, and the robbery is even better, and soon cut down a large number of people, and the soldiers are full of money, and the low morale because of the defeat has recovered some.
The soldiers who had just broken up joined in, as if they were three points more courageous than they had been in battle.
The generals around Yuan Shu looked at the generals and soldiers who were shot into hedgehogs in the center of the road at this time, shook their heads, rushed to Yuan Shu's side with their horses, and said loudly: "Childe, let's put the soldiers and horses together, now is not the time to waste the soldiers and horses on such things." ”
Yuan Shu raised a lance in his hand at this time, picked up a man who resisted with a kitchen knife, looked at the other party struggling on the lance, laughed, and the general shouted a few times at this time, Yuan Shu said disappreciatively: "It's not so bad." ”
As he spoke, he killed the women of the family and set a fire, he had wanted to do such things for a long time, and he had done them before, but he was not so cruel, but now he was angry.
……
Wang Yue controlled the war horse to the front of the arsenal and shouted loudly: "Open the door!" "There are already his people in the arsenal, although they have been taken over by the army of the Northern Regions, but there are still people who recognize him, Cheng Peng and Guo Tu have also met Wang Yue and know that they are their own people.
The heavy arsenal door was pushed open, revealing rows of neatly arranged wooden shelves and chests inside, and the large warehouse, which was about 100 zhang long from east to west and about 10 zhang wide from north to south, was filled with all kinds of weapons and equipment, spears that shimmered with cold light, well-maintained armor, unwound bows and crossbows, etc., countless weapons and armor were placed there, showing a wordless power.
And this is just one of the arsenals, the same treasury here has a total of ten, stocked with about 100,000 swords, guns, halberds, bows and crossbows and armor, and there are thousands of guards and more than 1,000 auxiliaries stationed here all year round, the guards are responsible for guarding, and the auxiliaries are responsible for maintaining weapons on weekdays; The surrounding area is also rammed earth to build a wall, there is enough grain and grass for a month, there is well water inside, it has become a city within a city, if it is not for the emperor's decree, often serve over, ordinary thousands of people can not break this fortified city.
This is also the reason why Guo Jia and Chen Xi want to send someone to take down the arsenal as soon as possible, otherwise it will fall into the hands of those thieves, and then they will be scattered in the city, and then they will have a headache.
For the big families, especially the Yuan family, the fourth world and the third duke, there is no shortage of manpower, only the lack of weapons that allow these people to exert their strength, just like the Yuan Mansion, if the armor is complete, even if there are chaotic soldiers in the city, it will not endanger the Yuan family.
Wang Yue smelled the smell of leather and tung oil in the warehouse, and looked at the full amount of weapons and equipment, even if he had seen more than the Han Emperor, he couldn't help but be shocked at this time.
Such a huge amount of armament, coupled with the grain and grass stored in Taicang, and the money in the inner treasury, this is also the heritage of the Han Dynasty!
Guo Tu asked on the side, "Why did General Huben come here in person?" ”
Wang Yue said: "The chaotic army in the city is rampant, the road is not quiet, I personally bring people over to rest assured, this is also the last time, and then you will close the arsenal, and wait for the arrival of the army, and then open the arsenal!" ”
When Guo Tu heard this, he felt a little relieved, if he went back and forth again, this arsenal would not be safe, otherwise if he didn't check it once and was mixed in, it would be bad, and the last time was okay, after all, the situation in the city was complicated, and there were no dead soldiers, so if you dress up, maybe you will get in.
Wang Yue didn't say anything more, his identity had not been decided at this time, and he couldn't order Guo Tucheng Peng, seeing that the weapons were loaded, he took the cavalry to the palace with a cart.
There was no delay, and the cart was well prepared, and there was no delay on the way back, and soon arrived at the palace, entered the palace gate, and immediately ordered: "Close the palace, and those who dare to approach will be shot immediately!" ”
At this time, I can't care so much, at this time, it is difficult to be a good person who dares to spy on the palace, kill it, first divide the bow and crossbow, and equip the armor, the forbidden army in the past is not armor-wearing, or leather armor, after all, it was only a patrol in the past, but now it has to be equipped to prevent foreign enemies.
After Yuan Shao vented, he gathered the people and horses at this time, and went towards the palace, his team of people and horses is the elite of the Yuan family, such a group of people and horses, even the Yuan family, it is difficult to come up with a second team, after all, this is Luoyi, not Runan, there can be so many people in the city, it is already the position of the Yuan family is high enough, and Yuan Kui has the identity of a captain, so he can prepare such strength.
It is said that this kind of people and horses, by surprise, it is not difficult to capture a palace gate, after all, there are many masters of the Yuan family, and among the Praetorian Guards, there will not be too many who are good at fighting, but now it is different, the soldiers and horses in the northern region have been scattered, stationed on the palace walls everywhere, and take it as the core.
The palace gate was directly blocked, isolated inside and outside, at this time, the palace gate, even the inside could not be opened, a large number of sundries were filled, Yuan Shu also lost an opportunity, and now the Yuan family has no penetration into the palace, although Yuan Shao is under He Jin, but he has not yet been given the opportunity to meddle in such matters.
……
"There seems to be chaos in the city?"
At this time, Liu Bei was on the city wall of Luoyi, and the coalition soldiers and horses coerced by Dong Zhuo under the city were approaching, Liu Bei glanced at the city, and he didn't care, and said: "It's a little mess, it's okay!" ”
The sporadic fires are nothing, and after the arrival of the army, these chaos can be quickly quelled, and now it is just a matter of delaying time.
Just killed the Yuan family, everyone was stained with blood, and they all got the money, and under the big reward, with these soldiers and horses, it is not difficult to guard the city wall.
……
"On the order of the general, kill the eunuch!"
Yuan Shao led people to make noise under the palace city, but once he approached the palace city, there were arrows shot down immediately, and after being shot and killed a few people, Yuan Shao couldn't do it anymore, and the wrestler smashed the palace gate, and the dull sound also let him know that the palace gate was filled.
"How's that okay?"
What else can be done now? You can't force Shichang to leave the palace and let him loot the palace, nor can you rob the arsenal and arm the soldiers, there's nothing to do!
Just as he was hesitating, someone stumbled towards him, shouting, "Is it the highway?" Is it a highway? ”
Hearing that the voice was somewhat familiar, Yuan Shu responded, and at this time, the man immediately shouted: "Highway, the big thing is not good!" Big things are wrong! ”
It was raised by Yuan Shao, a little maid, and Yuan Shu's mood was not very good.
