Royal Road - Chapter 289

[Chapter 288 | City]

On November 6th, just five days after the solar eclipse, the people of Luoyang, who were still in shock, found that the bad omens had come true in front of them.

The Xiongnu Han state dispatched more than ten generals including King Liu Yao of Qin, General Huyanyi, General Shi Le of Andong, etc., with a total of 60,000 troops, to attack Luoyang!

This time, Liu Yuan has made enough money. Among the 60,000 elite soldiers, there are 40,000 soldiers alone!

Originally, people were uncertain, and they were suddenly attacked by the enemy, and the Henan Prefectures and counties surrendered in response.

Yin Liu Mo of Henan died in battle, the guards scattered, and the Yique Pass was broken!

In just five days, this great army came to Luoyang City.

There is a natural danger on the Yellow River, and the city of the Emperor of the Son of Heaven in the capital city of Baguan, except for the 8,000 soldiers in the city, and the tall and wide city walls, there is no danger to rely on!

Riding on the horse, Shi Le looked at the majestic city in front of him and let out a sigh in his heart.

When he was young, he went to Luoyang for business with his father.

Outside the palace city, the huge copper camel looked southward, and the imperial road was more than ten feet wide. Just standing on the copper camel street, the splendor and beauty of the entire Luoyang City were fully visible.

This mighty capital of the Son of Heaven is now under his blade.

He heard the neighing of the war horses, and the tents behind him. Even the air was filled with the smell of rust and blood.

They have come here, breaking the city, killing the emperor, and establishing unparalleled merits!

Breathing quickly, Shi Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the tall and ancient city wall with greed.

“Shi Le!”

A voice sounded from behind, Shi Le suddenly woke up, turned around and clasped his fists: “Your Highness!”

In Liu Jing’s eyes, the same light as Shi Le shone.

He raised the whip in his hand and ordered loudly: “Lead your forwards, take the first round!”

“The commander will order!”

When he first came to the Han state, he had few soldiers and few generals, so he had no choice but to rely on Wang Mi.

But the other party came from a noble family and was arrogant and rude. In fact, he didn’t think much of his Jiehu.

Before staying in Yongzhou, it was also to stay away from Wang Mi and expand the team.

Those Di and Qiang mixed hus, the refugees and defeated generals, are the ones who can be used by him.

Unexpectedly, a lot of clans were shot down, and most of the remnants that were gathered were conferred by Liu Wei to Pu Hong, the Di person who had served.

Why isn’t Shi Le angry?

But all the emotions were suppressed in the stomach.

He is not yet confident enough to disobey these Xiongnu nobles.

But it is an indisputable fact that Liu Yao values him more and more.

It is naturally better to vote for Liu Yao than Wang Mi.

As long as he builds more meritorious deeds and becomes bigger, one day he will be able to lead his troops out like Wang Mi.

Once there is an opportunity to attack the prefectures and prefectures, wouldn’t it be easy to have tens of thousands of troops and gallop on one side?

At that time, who would dare to underestimate his origin!

Falcon-like sharp eyes, cast on the distant city.

Shi Le urged the mount, brought the generals around him, and rushed towards Luoyang City!

※

“Where are the reinforcements?!” In the Luoyang Palace, the young emperor was so violent that he even changed his tone!

Five days!

In just five days, all the gates guarding Luoyang were torn to a pulp like a piece of paper.

Those who are loyal will die for their country.

But most of them are cowardly villains who sit on the ground and open the city, kneeling and begging for mercy!

The 20,000 horses stationed by Henan County did not block them for even a day, and then they were scattered.

It’s okay now, except for the eight thousand pro-armies in the city, he has no one to use!

Where are Gou Xi’s troops?

What about Shan Jian?

What about Wang Cheng’s?

What about Sun Li’s?

What about Liang Feng Liang Zixi’s?

!

In such a big country, doesn’t it have a loyal minister?

!

The ministers under the rank, all face as earth-colored.

Who wants to be blocked in the city by this group of barbarians?

It’s not that the emperor was stubborn, so they lost the chance to escape!

Wang Yanqiang said: “Your Majesty, it is true that the Huns came too quickly to be prepared. As long as General Gou gets the news, he will definitely send troops to come. And Bingzhou, separated by a mountain, Liang Zixi can also dispatch troops and send generals. Come to help! Bingzhou’s troops are indistinguishable from Xianbei and horses, and they should be able to break the siege of Luoyang. As long as your majesty stays in the city and resists for a few days…”

His words are not without reason.

Send troops from Shangdang, go to Taihangxing, and reach Luoyang in just one day.

Once the state sends troops, the situation will change immediately.

And a big city like Luoyang can’t hold it for ten days and a half months?

Taking a deep breath, the little emperor tried his best to calm down, and said, “Assemble your own troops and fight the enemy…”

“Your Majesty!” Someone has already shouted, “The palace must also be prepared, if the city breaks… “…”

Before he could finish his words, he realized that he had made a blunder and hurriedly shut up.

The little emperor clenched his fists in anger, but did not speak again.

Yes, Luoyang City has several city walls, even if the outer city is broken, there is still the inner city.

If the inner city can’t be defended, isn’t there still the Jin Yongcheng that is invincible?

When he thought that he might have to escape to the Jin Yongcheng, which had been trapped by an unknown number of clans, the little emperor felt a chill on his back.

No, he must not fall to such a level that even if he is to fight in person, he must keep the enemy out of the inner city!

Didn’t Sima Yi take Emperor Hui out of the city to face Sima Ying?

As long as he is there, those soldiers will be able to escort them desperately!

“Send feathers to the prefectures and counties, and dispatch troops to rescue them!” In the end, the little emperor said sharply, “Before the reinforcements arrive, gather the young and strong in the city and stick to the city!”

However, the young emperor didn’t know it at the moment, he was struggling The expected reinforcements also encountered trouble.

Wang Mi, who had just subsided not long ago, raised his army again and attacked Xingyang all the way, cutting off Gou Xi’s way of returning to Luoyang.

With Wang Mi’s 30,000-strong army in front, and Cao Yi’s chaos in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Gou Xi immediately fell into a fierce battle that he couldn’t take care of himself.

And Bingzhou also ushered in a long-planned enemy early.

“The Xiongnu occupied the entrances of Taihangxing, Baixing, Jingxing, etc., and besieged Huguan.” When the latest military information came from Shangdang, everyone in Jinyang City was not very good-looking.

While leading the troops to attack Luoyang, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, who were originally stationed in the front line of Huize, immediately took action.

Liu Yuan did not mean to despise Bingzhou, but on the basis of the original 20,000 troops, an additional 10,000 cavalrymen were added, and a 30,000-strong army entered Shangdang!

Judging from the letter alone, the strength of this group of soldiers should not be underestimated.

What was even more difficult was that they had no intention of attacking the city, but divided their troops to defend a few roads.

In this way, the situation could not be more obvious. The other party just made up his mind to stop the troops from Bingzhou and help Luoyang.

If you don’t pass the Xingdao, it will take ten days and a half to get around the Taihang Mountains, and it will be a problem whether Luoyang City can be defended by then.

Even transferring troops from Yecheng would take the same amount of time.

What’s more, there are not enough troops stationed in Yecheng. If they send troops rashly, even Wei County might be wiped out.

How to do?

Didn’t you save Luoyang?

If you don’t care about Luoyang City, and the little emperor in the city.

The mere 30,000 soldiers and horses could not shake the Shangdang in the slightest.

Just retreating and defending the city is enough to exhaust the enemy’s food and grass.

But in this way, the trust of the imperial court will be completely lost, and even Wan Fu will point it out.

In the place where Bingzhou is not comparable, Liang Feng’s position as the prefect is hand-picked by the emperor.

Such a betrayal, who else would vote?

But if they were rescued, they would probably face an army of Huns who were ready to go.

This battle may be even more dangerous than the previous fight against Wang Jun.

It may even damage the strength that the state has finally accumulated.

When they rescue Luoyang and the Huns attack again, how will they prepare?

Seven or eight pairs of eyes fell on Liang Feng.

This is not a decision other staff can make.

To fight or not to fight, only one word from him.

“Send troops! Defeat the enemy and rescue Luoyang!” Liang Feng said directly without hesitation.

Others will consider the current situation, consider the interests, and even secretly hope that the troublesome emperor will die at the hands of the Xiongnu.

But Liang Feng is no one else.

In Luoyang City, there are not only emperors and officials, but also hundreds of thousands of innocent people!

If he can send troops to save him, he will naturally do so.

As soon as these words came out, the repressed atmosphere in the room was relieved.

Perhaps it is easier for a ruthless hero to achieve hegemony, but everyone initially followed Liang Feng just because he had a heart to save the world.

The lord has made a decision, and the following is just a tactical issue.

Zhang Bin nodded and said, “This time the enemy is divided into several groups. It seems that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. In fact, it should be used as a strategy to lure the enemy. If you really want to defeat them one by one, I am afraid that you will be

ambushed by cavalry.”

In this place, several Xingdao roads are still very close.

As long as you hold on to it a little, you can completely use the mobility of the cavalry to attack the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou.

The number of cavalry in Bingzhou is insufficient, and it is really difficult to effectively stop the opponent’s movements.

On the side, Yi Yan said coldly: “This method is not only to lure the enemy. As long as we stick to the camp and block the road, we can put our army in a dilemma. The enemy generals use their troops cautiously and cunningly, unlike the fake men they encountered in the past. Soldiers and

horses.”

Their ultimate goal was to go to Luoyang to resolve the crisis of the Xiongnu troops approaching the city.

But the enemy split up and held the main road to Luoyang.

No matter where you want to pass, you still have to fight a battle, and you must solve the enemy as soon as possible.

This created great psychological pressure on Bingzhou soldiers and horses.

Once it goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.

“Those who are good at conspiracy are bound to reconsider. It is better to do the opposite.” Zhang Bin had already heard the meaning of Yi Yan’s words.

“It’s not too bad to lie down and lure the enemy into battle.” Yi Yan’s answer was more straightforward.

In just a few words, the general direction was decided.

However, more detailed tactics need to be carefully studied.

“Boyuan will be the commander in this battle, and Meng Sun will be the staff advisor. Send a letter to Shangdang, tell Zu Changshi, and prepare to send troops!” Liang Feng decided without hesitation.

Following this order, Bingzhou, like a beast who woke up from a deep sleep, was full of energy and waited for it!
