Chapter 99: Exhausted Three Armies(2/2)
"We must protect Mr. Guo Tu's safety."
"Affect the order."
...
Before Hulao Pass.
The overwhelming stone bullets were finally over, and the walls of Hulao Pass were smashed into a pit. The enemy building on the wall was smashed to pieces, and it was a mess~~
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
Amid the neat and loud sound of the horns, three towering siege towers slowly approached the majestic wall of Hulao Pass. Behind the siege tower was filled with soldiers waiting for battle, and were covered in darkness, like endless ants. However, surprisingly, there was no movement on the wall. There was not even a single figure, only the blood-colored flag was still waving.
"Expand~expand~expand~~"
With three loud noises, the suspension bridge over the siege tower capsized and hit the wall. The elite soldiers of the government troops hiding in the tower roared and snatched the top of the city.
Zhao Rong beat the horse and walked to Chunyu Qiong, and said in a silence: "General Chunyu, the situation is wrong. What trick are the bandits playing?"
Chunyu Qiong smiled coldly, looked disdainful and said calmly: "What other tricks can the bandits play? Most of them are fleeing because they are afraid of war, hum!"
"Uh~" Zhao Rong uh, saying suspiciously, "With the combat power shown by the thieves last night, it seems that this shouldn't be the case."
As soon as Zhao Rong finished speaking, a small school rushed over. The servant fell to Chunyu Qiong and shouted: "Report~ General, the bandits have abandoned the pass and are retreating towards Luoyang."
Chunyu Qiong's eyes showed a proud look and said to Zhao Rong: "General Zhao, what? I guessed it right."
Turning his head, Chunyu Qiong ordered coldly: "Transfer our military orders, and the entire army advances lightly. Pass through Hulao Pass as fast as possible. Take advantage of the victory and pursue it and return to Luoyang."
Zhao Rong said: "General Chunyu, it seems inappropriate to pursue lightly~~"
Chunyu Qiong interrupted Zhao Rong with a rude and said, "What's wrong? The bandits are all in a turbulent group. Now they have defeated with one blow, and the birds and beasts are scattered. Does General Zhao still think that the bandits still have the strength to do anything?"
“Uh~~”
Zhao Rong was speechless.
Chunyu Qiong snorted coldly and said sternly: "Leave a thousand infantry escort the baggage vehicles, and the rest of the soldiers are all moving forward with light clothes. Return to Luoyang. Before tomorrow morning, I will see the Luoyang city block!"
"Affect the order."
The little school clasped his fists with both hands, agreed, and turned around and ran away.
Chunyu Qiong raised all his troops, advanced lightly, and rushed through Hulao Pass and rushed towards Luoyang. Almost all young commanders who had never had the experience of being the ones alone would make fatal mistakes that they were eager to show themselves. Zhao Kuo abandoned Lian Po's strategy to stick to his strategy and underestimated the enemy to advance rashly!
Obviously, Chunyu Qiong made the same mistake! Chunyu Qiong was eager to make contributions and just wanted to lead his troops to the city of Luoyang as soon as possible, and prove to the civil and military officials of the court as soon as possible, to Emperor Ling of Han that Chunyu Qiong is not worse than the so-called famous Han general Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song. He has never shown his strength, but just lacks the stage and opportunity to perform!
The army was less than five miles ahead, and a small school rushed to report.
"General, the fire suddenly broke out in the direction of Hulaoguan in the rear."
"Um!?"
Chunyu Qiong and Zhao Rong turned around and watched at the same time. They saw thick smoke rolling in the direction of Hulao Pass and soaring into the sky. Zhao Rong's heart tightened and said to Chunyu Qiong: "General Chunyu, have you returned to Hulao Pass?"
Chunyu Qiong's eyes frowned and asked the little school: "Have the food, supplies and supplies passed through Hulao Pass?"
Xiaozhao said: "It has been passed."
Chunyu Qiong said impatiently: "Since the food, weeds and supplies have been passed safely, Hulao Pass will burn it. If you repair it in the future, everything will be based on the extermination of the bandits rampant in Luoyang! We will pass our military orders and the army will continue to move forward~~"
Zhao Rong looked at the lush dense forests and wild grass on both sides of the official road, then looked at the rolling smoke rising from the sky behind, and suddenly shivered and said to Chunyu Qiong: "General Chunyu, Hulao Pass is on fire, and our army's retreat is gone. If the bandits buried ambush troops on both sides of the official road, or raised fire to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable~~"
"Hmm?" Chunyu Qiong looked cold when he heard this, and then he said disapprovingly, "The bandits are all chaotic and do not understand military tactics. Don't be suspicious about how to understand the strategy of fire attack."
"Driving~"
Chunyu Qiong finished speaking. A whip whip on the horse's thighs and rode his horse away. Zhao Rong sighed and had to follow him.
The army was just moving forward five miles further, and suddenly saw Sima, a former army, running back in a panic look.
Chunyu Qiong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Sima of the former army said in a trembling voice: "General~General, the official in front of the road~ the tree~ the tree has a piece of wooden stake~~"
"Wood stake? Just move it away, why bother to report it!"
"Yes~There are words written on it."
"Whose words are there, what words?"
"I dare not speak out."
Chunyu Qiong said coldly: "Say!"
"Uh~" Sima of the former army uh and replied, "The wooden stake is written on it, the left central general of the Han Dynasty, Chunyu~Chunyuqiong was killed here~"
"Damn it!"
"Bang!"
“Ah~~”
Chunyu Qiong cursed angrily, and whipped the Sima of the Front Army hard on the face of the former army. The Sima of the Front Army suddenly screamed. A red whip mark appeared on his face, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes when he looked at Chunyu Qiong.
"Go~"
Chunyu Qiong shouted angrily, rode his horse and left. Zhao Rong could not comfort Sima, the front army. He rode his horse and left. Dozens of personal soldiers roared behind him. In just a moment, the group arrived before the piece of wooden stakes mentioned by Sima of the front army. Sure enough, a piece of wooden stakes more than one person were standing in the middle of the official road, and wrote the words "Chun Yuqiong, the left central general of the Han Dynasty, died here."
"hateful!"
Chunyu Qiong's face turned pale and was about to order his personal soldiers to remove the wooden stakes, but suddenly he heard a loud and loud laughter sounded from the cliff on the right. The laughter could almost penetrate gold and silk, stirring between the cliffs on both sides, which instantly attracted all the officials and soldiers in the valley to look up.
"Chunyu Qiong! Every man, the eight hundred bandits have been waiting here for a long time~hahaha~~"
Chunyu Qiong looked up and saw a majestic figure standing on the cliff on the right. With a wave of his hand, dense bandits immediately emerged from the cliff. Some bandits held dry firewood or hay in their hands. Some bandits took their bows and arrows. The arrows were burning~~
Zhao Rong was shocked and said in a lost voice: "General Chunyu. Not good, the bandits are afraid they will attack with fire!"
"You need to say it!" Chunyu Qiong groaned and shouted loudly, "All the soldiers of the army obeyed the orders, rushed out of the narrow valley~~kill~~"
"Haha~" the majestic figure on the cliff smiled at the sky, "I just remembered to break through now, isn't it too late? Strike the arrow!"
"Swish swish swish swish swish~~"
Rockets suddenly passed through the sky and ruthlessly plunged into the two sides of the official road, and the dense forests were lush and dense. The piles of dead grass and leaves were quickly ignited. Then bundles of dry firewood were thrown down from the cliff by bandits. The fire spread rapidly and became more and more intense. The scorching flames finally ignited the green evergreen trees on both sides of the official road, and the rolling smoke began to spread~~
A truly successful fire attack does not rely on flames to devour the enemy, but uses the thick smoke generated by the burning of the fire to attack the enemy. The thick smoke is the deadliest weapon! In the scorching and choking smoke, soldiers with the most determined will lose their calmness and go crazy!
"Run~Run out~~"
Chunyu Qiong covered his mouth and nose with his hands, shouting loudly. Except for Zhao Rong and the dozens of personal soldiers around him, no one paid attention to him. Even if he was the most elite central official army in the Han Empire, he could not be calm and indifferent when facing death.
People are human beings after all.
Perhaps, as long as there is still a little hope, this elite army that has emerged from the bloody storm will not collapse. Even if one sacrifices oneself to leave the opportunity for life to others, many loyal and brave soldiers are willing to stand up. However, now, hope is gone! Because Chunyu Qiong is incompetent, all the soldiers in the army have fallen to death.
Now, the enemy of the official army is not a bandit, but a ruthless fire~ After all, people are flesh and blood, and water and fire are ruthless, how can they fight with it?
On the cliff, Guo Tu looked gloomy and stood solemnly like a thousand-year-old pine bent over. The fierce fire burning in the valley made his face hurt, but he was not at all.
Being trapped!
The official army actually fell into the trap!
The stupid Chunyu Qiong, the stupid ten eunuchs, the stupid Emperor Ling of Han! The last Great Wall of the Han Empire collapsed under the performance of the turtle feet of the Han court monarchs and ministers~~
At this moment, Guo Tu's heart was shocked, but also shocked.
Looking back leisurely, Guo Tu looked at the entrance of Hulao Valley. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the mountains and ridges. Seeing the cold figure, he was standing on his horse's back, cold bronze scales shining against the rising sun. Under the heavy helmet, his face was ferocious, and two cold eyes shot out from the dark cave.
Guo Tu turned around. The smoke was rolling in the valley and the fire was flooding. Countless officials were running around in the sea of fire, and the wailing and screaming continued. Even if the lucky officials were able to break out of the surrounding fire and ran to the entrance of the valley in a mess, did they run away?
Losing the organization, losing weapons, losing will, what awaits them will be the fate of being massacred!
...
Thirty miles southeast of Luoyang, the bandit army camp.
Jia Xu, who was dying by the river, was finally discovered and carried back to Liu Yan's camp in time. After Liu Yan's rescue, he finally saved his life.
When Jia Xu woke up again, it was noon the next day.
As the curtain was lifted, Liu Yan's beautiful face appeared in front of Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Yu, did you swallow the medicine yesterday?"
Jia Xu couldn't help but blush when he heard this. Now he thought about it, he was indeed too careful! Although he was discovered by pretending to be a fellow villager, the other party did not know his true identity. Even if Ma Yue knew his identity, he was just a little man, how could he be worthy of the other party's calculations?
Thinking of this, Jia Xu felt calm and stayed in the thief camp for 100 days. What if the court did not know that he had been with the thief, what would it be wrong?
Chapter completed!
