Chapter 99: Three Army Death

"Swish~"

In the dark night, a rocket rose slowly since the eastern sky, like a bright lamp, instantly cutting through the dark sky. Hulao closed, Gao Shun climbed the girl's wall and stood in the wind. His young face was as clear as a knife and axe, and his black eyes showed unswerving solemnity.

Especially Gao Shun's tall body gives people the strength that even if Mount Tai is pressed down on it, it cannot bend.

"Dongdongdongdongdong~~"

The fierce sound of war drums rose from the front. Just listening to the intense and suffocating rhythm, you know that this is the unique marching drum of the central government! The most elite central government army in the Han Empire~~has it finally arrived?

"Woooooooooooooo~~"

The leisurely and long horn sounded immediately, which was the horn of charge!

"Kill~~"

The faint sound of killing sounded from afar, gradually rising, and finally rolled over. The red torches rolled in from a distance like stars, and soon burned the open space in front of Hulao Pass into a red sea of ​​fire! In the bright daylight, countless official troops swarmed in like ants, filling the narrow valley, black and endless, as if there were no other creatures between heaven and earth. In addition to the official troops, they were also the official troops~~

It is worthy of being the most elite official army in the Han Empire! Even the simplest charge can show a completely different momentum from ordinary official army.

Gao Shun raised his right arm leisurely, and his cold shouts sounded under the night sky.

"Arrowman~~~~~"

The only three hundred archers ran out of the enemy building and had it on the wall less than 30 feet wide. The archers coldly unloaded their longbows, pulled out feather arrows from the quiver pot and put them on the strings. Then they turned their heads one after another, focusing their cold eyes on Gao Shun's right arm.

Under the pass, officials flocked to him.

"Shoot the arrow~"

"So Soo Soo~~"

The arrows cut through the sky and made a sharp scream.

"Tree Shield~"

A loud shout like thunder broke out under the wall. The government infantry rushing in front quickly pushed the big shield on his head, and in an instant, a dense shield wall formed.

"Tu tu tu tu tu ~~"

Amid the continuous muffled sounds, sharp feather arrows had been inserted into the official army's shield. Only a small number of arrows could penetrate the gap between the shields and cause some damage to the official army, but this level of damage was not enough to charge the official army like a tide.

"Arrow retreat~"

With Gao Shun's order, the archers retreated back to the enemy building like a tide.

"Kill~~"

The morale of the officers who were swarming in was greatly boosted and they rushed under the wall in a blink of an eye. Ladders were raised high, and the sharp hooks at the top flashed with a cold light under the night sky~~

On the wall, Gao Shun stood like a pine tree, and all the bandits looked solemn.

"Bang~bang~bang~bang~"

More than a dozen cloud ladders were almost at the same time, and they hooked tightly on the female wall through the barbs at the top. Dozens of light infantry officers rushed out under the shield wall with howling, holding their waists and knives, and using their hands and feet. They climbed up along the cloud ladder as a monkey. In just a moment, they had already reached five or six feet high.

"kill!"

A loud shout sounded like thunder.

“Huhuhu~~”

A large group of black shadows suddenly fell from the air on the wall. The officials climbed on the ladder and had no way to dodge. Most of them were smashed to the ground. They screamed and fell from the ladder. Most of them either broke their legs or smashed their heads by rolling stones. However, more officials rushed out from under the shield wall and continued to climb up without fear of death.

Close the wall. Gao Shunshun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Blade and Axeman~~!"

Dozens of bandits holding sharp axes swarmed up, and in groups of two people rushed to the female wall, and began to wave the axe as the cloud ladder. The wood chips flew, and the cloud ladders were cut off one after another, and bamboo poles stretched out from the wall. They supported the top of the cloud ladder and pushed out, and the cloud ladders fell down one after another.

In front of Hulao Pass, Chunyu Qiong and Zhao Rong rode on horseback. Seeing that the cloud ladders were destroyed one after another, the official army's offensive was frustrated. Chunyu Qiong couldn't help but wave his fists in annoyance. After a while, the Sima of the front army rushed to Chunyu Qiong, "General. All the cloud ladders were destroyed, and many soldiers were tired. It's better to spend one night and attack the city tomorrow."

Zhao Rong beside him also advised: "General Chunyu. It's too late, why not attack the city after dawn?"

Chunyu Qiong nodded and said, "Well, the army retreated ten miles to the camp and went to attack the city again tomorrow dawn."

"Affect the order."

...

Luoyang, the bedroom of Emperor Ling of Han.

Emperor Ling of Han was suddenly awakened by a long and desolate sound of horns. He looked up and saw the bleak wind in the bedroom, and the candlelight was faint. He couldn't help but feel frightened and said repeatedly: "Come, come, come~~"

Zhang Rang's figure flashed out from behind the curtain and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Hearing the familiar voice, Emperor Ling of Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhang Rang: "The bandits are still in dispersed and travel outside Luoyang City all day long. What should I do? When will the army of kings in the world arrive?"

Zhang Rang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the army of the states to support the king may take more than a month to arrive at Luoyang. Only the three counties of Henoi, Hedong and Hongnong are close to Luoyang. Yang Feng, Zhang Ji and Wang Kuang may be able to support the king within ten days. Moreover, there are Yulin in the city, and the army in Xiyuan is stationed, and there are few bandits. I wonder if I dare not come to attack the city, so your Majesty does not need to worry."

Emperor Ling of Han asked with a worried look: "Chunyu Qiong, Zhao Rong went to replace Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, when will the official army led by him return to Luoyang?"

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, Chunyu Qiong and Zhao Rong sent someone to send an emergency military report of 800 miles. He is leading a large army to attack Hulao Pass. He said that it will be broken in the day and will inevitably return to Luoyang within a few days."

"Huh~~" Emperor Ling of Han breathed a long sigh, reached out to rub his chest, and whispered, "If Chunyu Qiong and Zhao Rong two elite troops returned to Luoyang, I can rest assured~~"

Zhang Rang took a step forward and carefully pulled the horn of the quilt for Emperor Ling of Han, and advised: "Your Majesty, please help me, the dragon body is the most important thing."

Emperor Ling of Han lay down on his back, his eyes widened, and glared at Zhang Rang and said, "Let your father, please do not walk away."

When no one was gone, Emperor Ling of Han often respected Zhang Rang as "Rang's father".

Zhang Rang's face burst into laughter and responded flatteringly: "I obey the order."

...

Liao Hua and Guan Hai led their troops to thirty miles southeast of Luoyang. It was a little dark, so they ordered camps on the side of Yiluo River. Jia Xu bent down and came out of the carriage. He saw that the Luoshui River was busy. Some were busy burying pots and making rice, some were busy taking care of horses, and even bandits with armor were patrolling everywhere. The entire military camp was filled with people and horses neighing~~

In the wilderness further away, there were bandits and cavalry reconnaissances. It seemed that no matter where or when, the bandits always maintained a high level of vigilance.

"Yu Jia (Jia Xu is Jia Xu, not Jia Yu, the swordsman read it wrong. Apologize) Mr. Yu, it's time to take medicine."

A crisp sound came from behind himself. Jia Xu turned around and saw Liu Yan standing behind him, holding a bowl of soup. Seeing Jia Xu turn around, Liu Yan handed the bowl of medicine in front of him. Jia Xu reached out to take it, sipped it into his mouth without hesitation, and handed the bowl of medicine back to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan smiled faintly, took the medicine bowl and turned around and left.

Until Liu Yan's beautiful figure disappeared, Jia Xu bent down, opened his mouth and spit the medicine juice pursed in his lips into the grass. A faint smile rose on the corner of Jia Xu's mouth. Such a trick would also be used to deal with someone Jia? He underestimated people too, hum.

After reaching out to dust the dust on his clothes, Jia Xu took a step forward. Then his face changed drastically, and he felt a slight pain in his abdomen.

Uh, could it be~~ The little girl didn't lie, she really wanted to take medicine for a hundred days? Jia Xu's thoughts changed sharply, and his abdominal pain became more and more severe, and finally his eyes fainted.

...

Hulao Pass, it’s dawn.

The official army's lagging ground supplies team finally followed, accompanied by the terrible catapult cart and siege tower. In the open space hundreds of steps away from the wall, the official army's baggage began to nervously assemble the catapult cart and siege tower, and the relatively peaceful night finally passed. A tragic battle that determined the fate of the two armies was about to begin.

On the wall, Yingchuan bandits were waiting for battle.

"God, what the hell is that?"

Looking at the huge wooden pillars erected up by the back of the official army, a young bandit soldier took a breath of air conditioning, his eyes showing fear.

"Boy, that's a catapult for the government and military."

A low voice sounded in the young bandit's ears, and a powerful and powerful hand was placed on the young bandit's shoulder.

The young bandit turned his head and at some point, there was already a veteran standing beside him. The veteran was tall and strong, with wrinkles covered with crisscrossing wrinkles on his face, like the bark of a thousand-year-old pine tree, rough and graceful. A terrifying scar tilted from the veteran's left forehead to the bridge of his nose, straight through his right cheek, and the wound was like a big mouth of a ghost, ferocious and scary.

No one knows the name of the veteran, but everyone calls him Tiger! Like the young bandits, Tiger is also an ordinary heavy armored infantry.

"Roll ~~"

The sound of footsteps rang out quickly, and a small leader rushed up to the city tower and shouted sternly: "The general has an order, all brothers will evacuate immediately!"

"Um!?"

The bandits guarding the city tower turned around in surprise, unable to believe their ears, and evacuated? Before the battle began, they were about to evacuate?

"It's all fucking deaf, withdraw!"

The little leader shouted loudly, and the bandits finally came to their senses and stood up in a mess.

...

Ten miles west of Hulao Pass.

Ma Yue looked gloomy and stood on the cliff with his hands in his arms. The official road leading from Hulao Pass to Luoyang winds through the valley under Ma Yue's feet. On both sides of the official road, lush trees have begun to sprout new buds, and the air is filled with the breath of spring. The chaotic footsteps sounded behind Ma Yue, but Guo Tu, under the escort of several bandits, climbed up the cliff panting along the steep mountain road that he temporarily cut out.

"Public rule, are everything ready?"

Guo Tu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and replied, "Everything is ready."

"Um!"

Ma Yue nodded solemnly and looked up. All he could see was bundles of dry firewood and hay. Although it was already late April, the weather in the north was still extremely dry, with dead branches and grass all over the mountain. Ma Yue led a thousand bandits to Hulao Pass yesterday. It took a whole day to prepare enough fire-driven objects.

"Public law, I'll leave it to you."

Guo Tu bowed to Ma Yue and whispered: "Please rest assured that the leader, Tu will never be humiliated."

Ma Yue nodded, looked at Xu Chu, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Chu!"

Xu Chu raised his chest and said in a deep voice: "Here."
