Royal Road

"Yingzheng, a group of Han troops are coming towards Yangyi, only five or six miles away. Can you block one block?" Wang Long reported in Malay.

Cavalry is not like an infantryman and needs to stand in front of the city gate. The most important task of this cavalry led by Yi Yan is to intercept foreign enemies. No one knows the reaction speed of the Han army. If there is an enemy, the more mobile cavalry can buy some time for the frontal troops.

However, Yi Yan did not give an order to attack: "Send a detective horse to embellish it and report the enemy's movements at all times."

Now is not the time to meet the enemy. After the stone bomb, the fire bomb was on, and the chaos in the city has already shaken the morale of the guards. Although he is not very familiar with Ge Zhichuan, Yi Yan must admit that this son is also a general. The throwing rhythm of the Thunderbolt gun, even if Sun Jiao, the leader of the Thunderbolt camp, is changed, it won't be better.

But these are not the main points of his concern.

"The enemy has traveled two more miles."

"There are two thousand people coming to the enemy, all pawns. They seem to be camping, waiting for reinforcements."

"The enemy sent a vanguard to explore the reality."

One letter after another came to Yi Yan's ears. It seems that this support army is acting steadily, and there is a large army in the rear that will arrive immediately. If he is allowed to camp, block the back road, and attack Yangyi, he will suffer from the enemy. It's really dangerous.

Yi Yan still didn't move, and Wang Long couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Yingzheng, don't you really want to rush?"

"Not in time." Yi Yan narrowed his blue eyes and replied coldly.

time? When? Wang Long was about to ask further, and the horse under his crotch became anxiously commotion. They are all riding horses of the Huns. They have been in the battalion since they were young. Why are you suddenly messed up now? At the next moment, Wang Long reacted, and the sky changed!

He suddenly raised his head and looked to the sky. The man who had never retreated many times in life and death battles actually shuddered.

Tengu is here!

Wang Long has seen a solar eclipse. In the past few years, there have been several signs of change. Whenever this happens, the world will be in chaos. After the solar eclipses in Yongkang and Yongning, severe drought and insect pests caused their families to be destroyed and forced to flee from famine.

Why is the solar eclipse here again now? It's still such a terrible moment!

In a panic, Wang Long looked at his coach and wanted to make a truce. However, he saw the smile on the corner of the other's lips. Light and sharp, it makes people smile with trembling.

"Here," Yi Yan whispered.

Different from imagination, seeing the vision in the sky, what Yi Yan raised in his heart was not fear, but excitement and intense fighting spirit. The master's arrangement this time did not make a mistake. No, it should be time, but also to help the Lord! Since ancient times, who has used such heavenly power to overcome the enemy? I'm afraid Emperor Guangwu can't!

Wang Long was able to be promoted to the chief officer of the cavalry battalion, and naturally he would not be a fool. Immediately reacted, this was exactly what Yi Yan was waiting for. Knowing that there will be a solar eclipse, he wants to send troops? No, it should be said that the host knows that there will be such a change today!

Wang Long hadn't figured it out yet. There was a huge roar from a distance, like falling thunder hitting the head of Yangyi city!

Now, let alone Wang Long's horse, the entire camp of thousands of horses neighed. Thanks to the well-trained cavalry battalion, these knights were not thrown off by the panicked horse.

Yi Yan reined in his horse, controlled his mount, and said loudly, "Fire bombs transform into thunder, like the night of Lucheng! This is Tianwei, help the lord!"

Lucheng! This word immediately calmed the floating hearts. Many of the cavalry teams also participated in the Lucheng night raid. The falling stars and thunder that night was so shocking that three thousand Huns returned home on horseback. And today, thunder is coming again! The movement is greater than that day, and there is a solar eclipse to help! In addition to the host, who can be so favored by heaven? !

The horse is still neighing, but the person has frozen his mind. Like their coach, ignited a raging fighting spirit!

"Wang Long, take two hundred people to attack the city! The others, follow me to meet the enemy!" Yi Yan issued a military order without hesitation.

In the sound of his command, the second thunder sounded again. Like a drum horn resounding across the sky.

Wang Long's face was red, his arms trembled, and he said loudly, "Telling!"

This is excitement and ecstasy. No wonder the host will order them to play today! No wonder Ying Zheng is so calm! With such help from heaven, how can it be overwhelming? !

Under the eclipse and thunder bombs, no one can keep morale. Yi Yan didn't even look at the city, turned his horse's head, and rode his horse. Behind him, eight hundred Jingqi closely followed, rushing towards the Han army camp not far away!

How could there be a solar eclipse? In the reinforcement camp, the general also panicked. It was enough to encounter such a bad omen as a solar eclipse, and then, there was a loud noise from the head of the city in the distance, as if a **** thunder fell into the city. Has anyone ever heard that a solar eclipse can still cause thunder? !

Could it be that they made the heavens angry because they thrived in the first day of the day? But it was obviously the Jin army that came, so why did Lei fall in Yangyi city?

His head was messy, and the pros below didn't worry about it. They asked repeatedly whether they would retreat, or sing gold and beat them to scare away the Tengu? Before he could make a decision, there was another thunder.

This thunder is not the kind of thunder just now, but the endless rolling thunder, which is the sound of thousands of horses hoofs at the same time, and there will be movement. An enemy is coming! When he reacted, a group of cavalry had already rushed out! Array to meet the enemy? That's too late!

With arrows and crossbows in full swing, these eight hundred cavalry, like the most elite Xiongnu cavalry, rode and shoot. Shiruo migratory locust, pounce on the camp! Behind these killing gods are the daily changes that have not faded. The twilight was dim, and the setting sun was bloody, like a fierce and evil rushing out of the sky and from the sun!

The two defenses were torn to pieces in an instant. Then, there is Daying. Like the loud noise that has not yet subsided, the iron cavalry drove straight in, tearing the two thousand men and horses apart. There is no idea of ​​resistance, just like a flock of sheep harassed by evil wolves. Soldiers are scattered and fled, don't dare to fight each other!

The long saber slashed across the air, and another human head flew up into the air. The thunder in the distance disappeared, and the black shadow occupying the sky also retreated cleanly.

Yi Yan tightened his horse's rein, shaking the blade, and dark red blood plasma dripped on the ground. In front of him, there is no longer an enemy that can stand, two thousand reinforcements, dead to death, fleeing, how can it threaten the siege army.

"You don't need to chase anymore, all back to the city!" Yi Yan retracted the knife into its sheath and calmly ordered.

In the face of such a change, it should be difficult for the Huns to immediately organize manpower to attack the city again. The most important thing now is to stick to Yangyi and withdraw the extra soldiers and horses to the Shangdang.

Can Ge Hong and Wang Long conquer the city? This question is not in Yi Yan's mind at all.

When Yi Yan led the team back to Yangyi, the south gate was already open, and from time to time there were soldiers fleeing in a hurry. Seeing another **** man and horse came, these deserters shivered and knelt down, hoping to find a way to survive. The previous solar eclipse was less than a moment away, but their courage had already been crushed. Competing with others, there are still winners and losers. Fight with the sky? Not seeking confession is the best result.

Yi Yan didn't look at these soldiers, and rode his horse into the city. Before, Wang Long should have sent soldiers to climb the wall first, and then opened the gate from the inside. In the past, such a hard attack would cost hundreds of thousands of people, but today, it is just a few corpses of enemy soldiers lying on the side of the road.

Morale is robbed, who else can hold on to the city?

The frontal battlefield also ended the battle long ago. Ge Hong personally greeted him: "School Lieutenant Yi repelled the reinforcements?"

"Two thousand pacers, just a forerunner." Yi Yan's gaze swept over the opponent, and he saw that Ge Hong was also stained with blood, obviously he had personally played. Taking down the city so quickly is worthy of the lord's trust.

"Will the rear army still come?" Ge Hong didn't ask how Yi Yan won. He knew better than others the fighting power of this man's confidant. The most important thing now is the city defense of Yangyi City.

"The siege should not be possible for the time being," Yi Yan said.

He didn't chase down the soldiers, in order to spread the situation of today's battle. After learning that the solar eclipse fell thunder, how many generals dared to lead troops immediately to attack Yangyi?

Ge Hong couldn't help but relax: "It's so best. There are more than a thousand soldiers in the city. There are more than a dozen fires. After you control it, you must strictly guard the city gate. Please also ask Captain Yi to report to the mansion."

The combat mission has been completed, and the city will be held fast when it comes down. In order to avoid being stuck in the city by the enemy, Yi Yan immediately brought his men back to the party.

Looking at the orderly fire-fighting and reorganizing teams in the city, Yi Yan nodded slightly and followed Ge Hong to the direction of the government office.

Sitting on the main hall, Liu Yuan only felt his head was a little stupefied.

Yesterday, on Zhengdan, the eclipse of the sun had just begun. It stands to reason that the imperial court should have an order to supervise the celestial phenomena, but when the Han Dynasty was founded, how could such senior talent be found. In the second year of the founding of the country, it was really not a good thing to just encounter a solar eclipse. But fortunately, the officials were obedient, and they all said that this was a trick for the decline and fall of the Jin Kingdom. Only to save the atmosphere a bit.

But today, the battle report came from the front. Yangyi was recaptured by the Jin army, and it was a siege of the city. A solar eclipse occurred, and there was also a vision of thunder falling from the sky.

The news was like a slap in the face of Liu Yuan. Solar eclipse, yin invades the sun, the minister conceals the image of the emperor, and the country is subjugated. The country that is about to perish, is it Jin country or his Han country? !

"How many people have seen Luo Lei?" Liu Yuan asked after a long time.

How dare the messenger conceal it, and hurriedly said: "The 300 remnants who fled from Yangyi and the 1,000 or so soldiers who went to assist Liu Weibu that day were all seen with their own eyes. The thunder is so loud that it can be heard for miles. "

How can such a scale be concealed? Why is there thunder in Lucheng, and thunder in Yangyi? Does God care for that Liang Zixi like this? !

Attack the party again? Retake Yangyi? As long as the rumors of solar eclipse transforming thunder persist, how can his soldiers dare to fight this Buddha? ! And if there is such an occurrence, will Han country suffer from God's condemnation, or a sign of its extinction?

Seeing the ugly look on the Lord’s face, Wang Yu stepped forward and said: “The king is uplifting to fight for the world. Now I live in the corner of Lishi, and Wang Wei has not shaken. It’s better to take this opportunity and his life will come all around. Ding Hedong, go south with a drum. First overcome Chang'an, and then sweep Luoyang with the people of Guanzhong. In this way, Hongji can be accomplished!"

The meaning of this statement is clear. It is no longer in the interest of the country to be a party. Instead of smashing with the Buddha who is stationed in the Shangdang party, it is better to change the direction, first hit Hedong, and then attack Chang'an from the direction of Sizhou. As long as you can win Chang'an, establish a foundation, formally proclaim the emperor, and then attack Luoyang from the Guanzhong direction, it will be a short answer.

The appropriateness of this statement made Liu Yuan feel relieved. However, his temperament was also quite cautious. After thinking for a while, he said: "Now that Sima Xiaoer is facing off near Chang'an, our army is going south, will the King of Hejian and the King of East Sea join forces to resist?"

The more severe the Shanxi civil war, the more in line with Liu Yuan's interests. If the attack on Hanoi makes the two of them vigilant, it would be a bad idea to turn the fighting into jade.

Servant Liu Yin also went out and said: "Don't worry about the king. Sima's thoughts are shallow, and the grievances are deep, and may not be able to join forces. If it is freezing today, it is not suitable to play. When the two sides decide the winner, they will go south It's not too late."

This is an extremely old idea. The cranes and clams competed, and the fishermen benefited. The two Sima county kings have been fighting for a year, and sooner or later the winner will be determined. If Chang'an was breached, it would be much easier for them to grab it again.

Breathing out his chest tightness for a long time, Liu Yuan nodded: "This is the lonely heart."

Since a strong enemy is difficult to overcome, let's start with Hedong. There is also a salt pond in the east of the river.

As for Shangdang... Liu Yuan sneered coldly. A solar eclipse was encountered as soon as he went out of the battle. Is the minister Liang Zixi hiding the monarch of the Han country or the king of the Jin country?
