29. The flag goes to war(1/2)

"Report to the general that the Kaifeng Prefecture Army has arrived at Xingyang Camp."

Thirty miles outside Zhengzhou City, in the Xingyang camp of the Southern Dynasties, several lieutenants were reporting to the Zhengzhou general about the military assembly.

The incident of Luoyang being surrounded was too urgent, which caught the Zhengzhou general off guard.

But he reacted very quickly and decided to go to rescue him immediately.

Luoyang is the most prosperous place in the Central Plains. That place is the main road connecting Guanzhong and Central Plains. Once Luoyang falls, the battlefield of the Central Plains and Guanzhong will be isolated.

The Central Plains defense line is in danger of being torn to pieces and breaking through.

"good!"

The General of Zhengzhou was a tall man in his fifties, and was once a brave general of the Great Chu. He was a confidant of Zhao Hu, the old king of the Southern Dynasty. He fought bravely and fearlessly, but he lacked some instability.

However, the general of Zhengzhou does not need to think about the generals of defense in the Central Plains. The military of this place and the Huainan area are commanded by the Huainan King Zhao Biao.

Zhao Biao is Zhao Hu's younger brother, the current regent of the southern country, and a veteran on the battlefield.

Therefore, as long as the general of Zhengzhou can do it, Zhao Biao will make the military strategy and general trend.

"There are already 7,000 soldiers in the Xingyang camp, plus 5,000 soldiers in the palace, and the people coming from around me. This time I went to Luoyang to rescue the siege, and the troops were not inferior to the bandits in the northern country."

The general looked at the map on the table, rubbing the long knife at his hand, and said sternly:

"The elite troops of the Northern Dynasties came from the starry night, and we were exhausted. We marched for two days and arrived near Luoyang, waiting for our labor, and with the help of local soldiers from Luoyang.

It is easy to defeat the Northern Army!"

The confidant captains around him praised each other, saying that the general was as insightful as a general and his eyes were like torches, which made the general of Zhengzhou look satisfied.

This is not all a compliment.

The facts are as the general of Zhengzhou said, as long as they withstand the first wave of the Northern Dynasties, Luoyang will not fall.

If we try to regain the natural danger of the Yellow River, no matter how many troops came to the Northern Dynasties in the future, with the support of the entire Central Plains and the military support of the Huainan region, this battle will definitely be a tug-of-war.

If the Tiance army comes to support it, the Northern Dynasties will not win at all.

The generals of Lao Yu's battle formation were very suspicious of the generals in the Northern Dynasties. Could it be that they were really crazy this time?

During the dispute between the state and the dynasty, although the Southern Dynasty was generally weak, it was not as weak as it could be pushed by the Northern Dynasty.

In the Qilu land, Weihou fought a beautiful counterattack a few days ago, pushing the front line all the way to the vicinity of Liaocheng.

It is only more than 500 miles away from Yanjing, the Northern Dynasties, which definitely greatly dampened the aura of the northern country.

Logically speaking, when they first suffered a great defeat, they should rest and strengthen their defenses in Qilu. What fun should they have when they ran to the Central Plains?

"You go and integrate the troops. Two hours later, the army sets off!"

The general of Zhengzhou thought about it but had no answer. He simply stopped thinking about it and removed the siege of Luoyang first.

As the lieutenants retreated, the entire Xingyang camp became lively. Near the general's camp, there were elite soldiers guarding them, and the imperial court's masters guarded them.

There were also martial arts masters in the Northern Dynasties. The major military formations were often based on the commanders, and the two dynasties in the north and south had precedents of assassination of the kings. Therefore, the Southern Dynasties also put in effort to protect the generals in command.

Only a few personal soldiers were left in the tent to take care of the general's daily life.

After the lieutenants left, the Zhengzhou general stood up and looked at the map hanging behind the tent. The veteran on the battlefield frowned.

This adventure in the Northern Dynasties was a bit strange inside and outside.

"It doesn't really look like it's done by military strategists."

The general rubbed his beard and said in a deep voice:

"I am so aggressive and unprepared. I only let ten thousand forwards advance, and I am so fast that I am out of touch with the support. It seems like I am just a temporary intention and I want to hit me and wait for someone to be caught off guard.

Such frivolous behavior is like the idea of ​​those gangsters who are fighting in the world. Could it be the strategy set by the Northern Dynasties? This is to treat military affairs as a joke!"

"General, it's time to have supper."

At this time, a personal soldier brought some food. The news of Luoyang being surrounded suddenly made the Zhengzhou general busy since the evening.

He sat on the chair, watching the food was fragrant and a glass of wine, and then pulled down his face and said to the soldier:

"Where can you drink when you go into battle? You have not been following me for a day or two. I forgot this rule?"

This scolding made the personal soldier tremble twice.

He lowered his head and crossed his hands, standing beside the general, as if he was afraid, and replied in a low voice:

"The general atones for his sins. The villain just thought that the general was going to fight with the Northern Dynasties dog thieves, so he wanted the general to eat some good food and drink some good food before he was exhausted...

This is why it is convenient to set off."

The first half of the sentence is still very quiet, but at the end of it, it is already chilling.

The general reacted very quickly and wanted to draw a knife to fight, but the assassin was too powerful. Before the general's hand fell on the scabbard, the dark red fish intestine stabbed through his neck protected by armor, less than an inch of flesh and blood.

It's like a dragonfly slashing the water, touching the point.

But the general's throat had been cut off and pierced with the vocal cords. He covered his throat and made a cough sound. He glared at the familiar personal soldier, but with the help of the latter, he fell on the backrest chair.

There were four personal soldiers in the camp, but they turned a blind eye to it, as if nothing had happened.

After the general fell, another guard quickly stepped forward without giving instructions. He quickly untied himself and the general's clothes, changed in the blink of an eye, and then reached out to apply something on the general's face.

After more than ten days, he reached out and pulled it gently, and a mask as thin as a cicada's wing was torn off and covered on his own face.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly became a general of Zhengzhou who appeared vividly.

Such a skill of disguising one's appearance is even better than Zhang Lan, who is skilled in this way.

"Senior Brother Chiyun, I'll leave this to you."

The personal soldier who had been killing looked at the disguiser, reached out to help him put the emblem on his chest neatly, and then whispered:

"The other army of the Northern Dynasties has set out from Jinyang. At most three or five days, it will come to the Kaifeng line in Zhengzhou and make a handover with them!"

"Don't worry, the sect leader."

"General Zhengzhou" sat on a chair, bowed to the assassinator, and said in the same voice as the general:

"I have done this job many times, and it won't go wrong. But the master of the sect, you are going to rush to Luoyang next. I know that there are people in Luoyang City who are hated by you.

I won’t stop you from taking revenge. What our Five Elements Gate emphasizes is the saying of avenging your will and revenge.

But don't underestimate those decent people, especially Ren Hao, present.

The death of the Dark Blood Elder has been a great lesson.

Our Five Elements Sect has been at a disadvantage in the seven sects over the years. This time, the sect leader worked hard to govern it. It was the time when my Five Elements Sect made great achievements. We should not ruin our bright future because of our own hatred."

This is a bit harsh.

Especially for the identities of both parties, Chi Yun is just an elder after all, but Qu Xie is the leader, although he is Qu Xie's fellow senior brother.

But speaking like this also made Qu Xie feel a little embarrassed.

But the Demon Lord Chi Lian is not easy to have an attack. After all, a few years ago, he was addicted to practicing Yin-Yang evil techniques and was indeed a bit too careless in his work.

Faced with the senior brother's persuasion, Qu Xie just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Soon, a roar sounded from the self-operated tent. The Longwu Guard master who was escorting the tent rushed into the tent and saw the general holding a long knife in his forehand. There was an unrecognizable corpse on the ground.

The general still has blood on his hands.

"There are people from the Jianghu who pretend to be an assassin and want to assassinate me! Immediately block the Xingyang camp!"

The general yelled:

"Find out the remaining assassins, hurry!"

The military order was issued, and the army that was about to set out to rescue Luoyang stopped again.

The matter was quite a big deal. In addition to the general's luck and avoiding the assassin's assassin, seven captains in the army were killed, and ten captains died tragically.

Most of the food and grass stored in the military camp warehouse were also poisoned and destroyed.

In this case, even if the general was determined to rescue Luoyang, he was persuaded by the remaining lieutenant who had survived death.

These surviving guys were all "peace factions" who didn't like war.

Or "surrender faction".

They urged the general to say that they should not do it recklessly.

He had to "plan and then act". The general was worried about the war in Luoyang and got angry, but he really had no choice but to go with the flow.

------------------

On this side of Luoyang, at noon the next day, on the city wall.

Looking down, the Northern Dynasty vanguard had already formed a formation, with flags standing, and there were also war horses galloping in front of the formation, shouting loudly about the general's orders, and the Luoyang city walls were also densely filled with people.

The skilled craftsman of the Mo family's Tianji Pavilion is moving some city guarding tools to the city wall.

At another post station not far away, Ren Hao, Lei Ye, and the elders of other sects of the world were talking in a low voice with the one-armed commander Tiance, who were talking in a low voice. There were people in the world dressed in different styles on the city wall.

Many people claim to be not afraid of fighting, but this is the first time they have seen these two armies confront each other.

Seeing the elite Northern Dynasties were extremely silent and formed an army formation, like a black wave covering the outside of Luoyang City. When the sun shone, the weapons reflected cold light, making the heroes in the martial arts feel dizzy.
