Royal Road

When the Taihangxing was in chaos, the soldiers and horses of the Shangdang stationed in front of the Baixing also began to move.

"Drag all the artillery carts out!" Standing under the handsome banner, Sun Jiao ordered loudly.

With the military order, hundreds of horses lined up. After every four horses, a cannon cart was dragged. These thunderbolt guns are much smaller than the ones used for siege, but they are easy to pull with a horse under the wheels.

This movement naturally caused commotion in the enemy camp. Sun Jiao didn't take it to heart, but looked at the horse team in front with satisfaction. It seems that it is easier to have horses. I wonder if you can pry some horses from the cavalry? If there is enough animal power, his artillery array may be unmatched.

Horsepower is far better than manpower, but only a short while ago, more than a dozen artillery carts were pulled three hundred steps before the enemy camp. The horse was led down, and the artillery swiftly pulled down the baffle and loaded the stone bullets. At this time, the enemy camp was so shocked that it wanted to organize soldiers to rush out of the camp and destroy the artillery.

However, before they left the camp, they found that more enemies appeared in the gap between the artillery carts, armed with bows and crossbows, and they were waiting. This artillery array is mainly for long-range attacks, but close-range killing is also not to be underestimated.

Looking at the bewildered enemy, Sun Jiao sneered at the corner of his lips.

Divide troops to lure the enemy? joke. As long as there are 10,000 soldiers in hand, Shangdang County can defeat more than twice as many enemies! The division of troops this time is not about enticing the enemy with falsehood and reality, but attacking on both sides! Only General Yi was responsible for attracting cavalry, and the Pili Battalion led by him was responsible for annihilating the enemy camp stationed by Baixing.

Now that the artillery carriage transported by the horse brigade has been assembled, the enemy's cavalry has been drawn away. It is time for the Perak Army to show off its power.

"Prepare, shoot!" Sun Jiao shouted loudly.

With the shout, the drums rang. The drum beats, the momentum is compelling. But soon, another kind of more magnificent, more terrifying screaming suppressed the drum. More than a dozen stone bullets whizzed out with the throwing pole, and their momentum is comparable to a landslide!

The enemy battalion collapsed just once. This kind of salvo is not to say that it is a camp, even if it is a city wall, a gap has been hit. What's more, the stone bullets were round and fell into the camp, either tumbling to shred a row of tents, or falling into countless flying stones, causing all the soldiers around to fall down.

Sun Focus nodded: "The order goes on, the forward advances!"

Without the defense, the formation of an organization cannot be formed. Such an enemy is nothing more than being slaughtered. They have to go to Luoyang for rescue, these enemy soldiers must not stay!

In just one day, the pseudo-Han soldiers and horses at Taihangxing and Baixing were beaten up. There are 20,000 slashed enemies, and the enemy general will give the head. Finally escaped the dead soldiers, and fled hastily. The road to Luoyang was completely opened up.

However, such good news did not make Liang Feng show any joy. Sitting in front of the case, he looked at the newsletter that had just been delivered, his face pale. The Xiongnu army has passed through the Qilijian, which belongs to the outer city defense, and has captured the Qingming Gate and Kaiyang Gate. The defenders retreat steadily, and further inside, the palace is!

Is it time to save Luoyang now when the troops are dispatched? The exits of the two Xingdao roads still surrounded a lot of enemy troops, and it would take an unknown amount of life and time to break out. Even if they rushed out, this amount of force was not enough to defeat the eye-catching Xiongnu's cavalry and rescue the people.

What should I do?

Liang Feng stood up: "General Linghu!"

Sima Tan was shaking all over. The chill has soaked the limbs, leaving his mind blank.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's too dangerous here! Please move!"

Someone was shouting loudly, but Sima Tan felt that he couldn't even lift his feet. In front of him, there was chaos, and countless soldiers were swarming towards the city. Every ladder, every ride, is like a huge wave against the city wall. There are twelve gates in Luoyang City, and each gate is more than ten feet wide. This was supposed to be the strongest city in the world, but under the frenzied attack, it was faltering, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

There were screams everywhere, and everything seemed to fall into a sea of ​​fire, giving off a pungent stench. Not far in front of him, a Huns soldier suddenly rushed to the top of the wall and rushed towards the direction where Sima Tan was standing. Four or five spears were pierced at the same time, piercing him into a blood gourd. But the expression on that human face was still so hideous, even death could not be erased.

Sima Tan took a step back and bumped into someone. Someone grabbed his arm, and ignoring his struggle, he dragged and ran down the city.

"Your Majesty! The city gate can't be guarded anymore. Your presence here will make the city gate fall faster! Go! Hurry and hide in the palace..."

The horse galloped up after being forced into the chariot. The slightly trembling car just made the little emperor wake up like a dream. The cold sweat fell. He really thought wrong!

Sima Tan has seen a big battle. When Emperor Hui was not dead, he was the prince. He has personally experienced the series of wars caused by the chaos of the kings. He even led the Tingwei to drive away the remnant Sima Yi who occupied Luoyang. He thought he knew what a big battle was, and what a soldier was. Unexpectedly, coming to the battlefield in person, it would be so terrible!

Those soldiers and horses were not the officers and soldiers of the county princes and state capitals he saw back then. They will not retreat because of the emperor's imperial master, but instead regard him as the emperor of Jin as the best prey and reward. No one will be in awe of his identity, but some are just greedy and hatred!

And he, let such a dangerous enemy entrenched on the side of the royal city! It’s only a few days' journey from Pingyang to Luoyang? Those Huns are no longer the herdsmen who lived in chasing water and weeds. They established the country and captured most of Sizhou and Guanzhong Woye! How many cities have fallen without a fight, and how many families have contributed to it? Compared with the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Liu Yuan's hands, what do I have? Is there this empty Luoyang city? !

He shouldn't stay in Luoyang... Must move the capital, move out of this dangerous place! The farther you hide, the better! Although revitalizing the great cause is important, first of all, he must live!

"Go to Jinyong City!" The little emperor grabbed the car and shouted. The gate can't be guarded anymore! He must hide in a safer place! We must gather all the soldiers and horses in Jinyong City and hold them until the reinforcements arrive!

The car turned around and headed towards the small town of Jinyong in the west of the city!

That night, the Huns rushed into the inner city and burned all the way. Even Guozixue and Taixue fell into the fire!

"Ming Gong is going to attack Lishi!" Linghusheng received the call and immediately rushed to the Cishi Mansion. As soon as he was seated, he heard such an order and was really surprised.

Isn't the Huns fighting Luoyang now? Why don't you send troops to aid Luoyang, but instead attack Lishi? Isn't this disregarding the emperor?

Knowing what Linghusheng was thinking, Liang Feng handed the newsletter he had just received to the veteran in front of him: "Luoyang City can't be guarded. Qingming Gate and Kaiyang Gate were broken, and Ximing Gate is also in danger. If you rush away at this moment. I'm afraid that I won't be able to save anyone. The only plan now is to encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

Linghusheng took the letter and glanced at it, and his expression became tense: "Minggong meant to send troops to attack Pingyang?"

"Yes." Liang Feng said flatly, "Pingyang is the capital of the pseudo-Han, and it is also the hiding place for Liu Yuan's old thieves. As long as troops are sent to attack, the Huns must withdraw their troops and return to defense. Only in this way can the siege of Luoyang be resolved!"

This is a good idea, but it is extremely dangerous! The Xiongnus are all fine knights. Once they return to aid, the speed is astonishing. Can the soldiers who have penetrated into Pingyang safely withdraw? More importantly, now the emperor is stunned and orders King Qin, but Liang Shijun ignores Luoyang and counterattacks Pingyang. If it falls in the mouth of a person with a heart, will it make the emperor regenerate jealous?

However, he was full of thoughts, and at the moment he raised his head, he was all pressed back into his stomach. Linghusheng saw the nervousness, solemnity, and unwillingness to look back on that Junya face, it was definitely not a fake! He really wants to save Luoyang, and he is willing to fight for it!

There was a rush of heat in his chest, as if he was about to scorch this old bone out of fire. Linghusheng took a deep breath: "The last general leads the way!"

Seeing Linghusheng receiving the order, Liang Feng felt relieved and immediately said, "General Linghu can bring Li Jun and Tian Xun together to attack Lishi. General Yi will attack Pingyang County from Shangdang. From south to north, all the way through Pingyang, and back from Lishi. Lishi is the only way to survive. Please hold on to General Linghu!"

The same is attacking Lishi, but the purpose of the person in front of him is completely different from that of Pei Dun back then. This is for the sake of a country, fighting to the death, not for personal gain, killing others! Linghusheng did not hesitate, and said, "Don't worry, Minggong will take down Lishi!"

After leaving Shi Dahuang for two years, he defected to many other ministries and has become a half abandoned city. Had it not been for Liang Feng to use this as a war buffer, he would have eaten it long ago. However, in order to guard against merging state soldiers and horses, a lot of soldiers and horses were stationed at the border of Lishi and Pingyang. Once Linghusheng led the army to attack, immediately put the defenders on guard. When Lishi strikes, everyone's eyes will turn to the old capital of the Huns, and the strange soldiers who cut into Pingyang from the Shangdang will be able to exert their greatest effect.

How many soldiers and horses did the Huns have in total? This time the elite is out, Binh Duong’s defenders are probably less than 20,000. Although this strategy is dangerous, it is not impossible to fight!

In order to be close to Luoyang City, he must give it a try!

"Where's the reinforcements? Why aren't the reinforcements yet!" Sima Tan walked around the room quickly, like a tiger cub trapped in a cage.

Jin Yongcheng is not very big, now it is full of secretaries who have come to take refuge. Some are not so lucky, and are still fighting outside, in order to defend this crumbling city.

Without those joyful things, Wang Yan's expression also faded a bit, and he continued to support himself: "Your Majesty, it has only been six days since the Xiongnu attacked the city. I am afraid it will take a few more days for the reinforcements..."

As if being whipped, the little emperor stopped and said viciously: "It's six days! How many days will it take to send troops from the Shangdang?! Is Liang Feng thinking the other way around?!"

Wang Yan closed his mouth. This is not because people walked too slowly, but Luoyang City was defeated too fast. If it weren't for the little emperor to go to supervise the battle against the crowd, and stage fright again, how could he end up in such a situation? What's more, whether or not to save this emperor is not the difference between the prefects and governors of the states.

But Wang Yan didn't want to go out of the city to fight, so naturally he wouldn't say these things that would annoy the emperor.

Seeing that all the officials under the order were speechless, the little emperor could not attack again, so he had to start again. Only loyal ministers can be known if they are really erratic. Those who are still in the city to defend against the enemy are the pillars of his great advancement. Others are just villains who are surviving for their own benefit!

Once he leaves Luoyang, he must ask them to blame...No, no, he will leave them to fight to death with the Xiongnu, and he cannot persecute them like this. Two strands of thoughts are like entangled vines, and they can't be solved. Sima Tan clenched his fists again, exhale and inhale forcefully. He has survived so many wars, this time, he must be lucky...

However, no matter what happened in Luoyang City. Thirty thousand troops galloped out of Jinyang and attacked Lishi mightily. Shocked by this action, Li Shi Shoujun immediately reported to Binh Duong. The soldiers and horses stationed in Pingyang began to move in the direction of Lishi. At the same time, another Qingqi crossed the Yuze line of defense and attacked the capital of the Han Kingdom of the Xiongnu!
