Chapter 199 The soldiers are very fast! Kill Luoyang and find the jade seal!
The cavalry battle outside Guangcheng Pass not only attracted all the attention of the wolf cavalry, but also attracted the attention of Xu Rong and Tang Xiang on the city.
Especially Xu Rong, who was directing the battle, subconsciously looked back when he heard the wolf rider's voice, which changed from ridicule to exclamation.
Wuyangyang's wolf cavalry were all dispatched to encircle and suppress the enemy's cavalry, but before they could block their retreat, the enemy fled and fled to another mountain road.
"General Lu!"
The battle situation far exceeded Xu Rong's expectations.
The other party comes in a hurry, strikes, and leaves in a hurry.
It's obvious!
This is a tactic of harassing and luring the enemy.
Moreover, judging from the reaction of the wolf cavalry army, Song Xian and Wei Xu were already chasing them, and there seemed to be signs of an in-depth pursuit.
Xu Rong couldn't care less about the frontal battlefield and shouted quickly: "General Lu, don't chase the poor enemy, be careful of falling into a trap. At this moment, your top priority is to ensure the safety of the rear."
"General Lu!"
"General!"
"..."
Xu Rong shouted at the top of his lungs, but it still had no effect.
Lu Bu acted as if he hadn't heard anything and chased him wildly without even the slightest response: "Damn it! Lu Bu is too impulsive. Zhang Liao just used a little trick to lure him away from the rear."
If the army loses the protection of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, it will definitely fall into a state of being attacked from both sides in a short period of time, which will definitely affect the efficiency of the siege and even lead to a complete defeat.
But......
Xu Rong couldn't get away, let alone give up.
He only hated himself for leaving his back to a fool like Lu Bu.
As a last resort, Xu Rong could only say hello: "Where is Ma Hui?"
Ma Hui rushed forward: "The end will be here."
Xu Rong ordered: "Quickly lead the cavalry camp to guard the rear, and at the same time send out troops and horses. If there is any enemy situation within five miles, come and report it quickly, without making any mistakes."
Ma Hui handed over his hand: "No."
Immediately.
He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, follow me! The front, rear, left, and right divisions will be arrayed in sequence. The scouts in the middle will use the formation as a base and go to various forks to gather information. If there is any news, report it immediately."
All the soldiers responded in unison: "Promise."
The military system of the Han Dynasty mainly followed the Qin system with slight adaptations.
From bottom to top are Wu, Shi, Team, Tun, Qu, Department, and Battalion. The number of people organized at each level is calculated as a multiple of two and five. Two is divided into left and right, and five is divided into front and back.
, left, right, center.
The most basic unit is the corps, which consists of five people and a corps leader.
The two groups on the left and the right are combined into one Shi. Ten people are in one Shi, and the length of the Shi is set.
The front, back, left, right, and middle five are combined into one team. There are fifty people in each team, and the team leader is set.
The two teams on the left and right are combined into a village, with a hundred people in each village, and a village leader.
By the time the team arrived at Tun, there was basically no objection.
but......
The number of villages in a song must be determined based on the situation of the army.
If the establishment is small, the left and right villages will be combined into a song, with 200 people in each song, and a military marquis will be set up. The military marquis will be equipped with a deputy, which is called a false marquis.
If there are many compilations, the front, back, left, right and middle five groups will be combined into one song.
Above the song is the part, and the same is true for the part.
Compiled the left and right pieces, and combined them into one piece, one piece for four hundred people;
If there is a large number of compilations, then there are five songs in the front, back, left, right and middle, which are combined into one piece, and one piece has a thousand people.
The department has an assistant army Sima and a deputy, called the Fake Sima.
now.
Under the command of Yue Cavalry Commander Ma Hui, there were five troops.
Each department has different functions and is mainly divided into combat department and auxiliary department.
The auxiliary department mainly includes scouts, messengers, fire-headed troops, and even those responsible for raising horses and treating horses, etc., which is relatively messy.
The four troops and horses moved to the rear. Although they were not full, there were still more than 3,000 horsemen. Stabilizing the rear in a short time was not a problem.
only......
This momentum instantly dropped.
Especially now that the Northern Army is storming Guangcheng Pass, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is doing this, which has a big impact on the morale of the Northern Army, but for the defenders at the head of the city, it has a booster effect.
Tang Xiang, who is good at chicken soup for the soul, will naturally not miss this opportunity.
He held the Huanshou sword, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Haha! Have you seen it? His Highness's cavalry is harassing the rear. Reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we hold on, victory will belong to us."
"No need to save rocks and logs!"
Tang Xiang ignored the wounds on his body and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Beat me hard. Use them all before His Highness comes back. No one is allowed to be left!"
"Kill~~~"
The morale of the soldiers at the top of the city skyrocketed.
Each and every one of them seemed to be resurrected with full blood on the spot. They used rocks and rolling logs to hit them. They seemed to have endless strength. The soldiers who were about to attack the city were repulsed in an instant.
"That's right!"
Tang Xiang kept cheering and cheering, and he never stopped talking: "That's it, beat me hard. It doesn't matter the elite of the Northern Army. We are fighting the Northern Army."
"Damn it!"
When Xu Rong saw this outside the city, he cursed secretly.
Although the situation is still under control, it is clearly getting worse.
Not only is Lu Bu disobedient, but more importantly, King Hongnong's vanguard cavalry has arrived. Will the army be too late?
The answer is obviously no.
Xu Rong knew clearly that there was not much time left for him to attack the city.
*****
at the same time.
Daguguan.
The smoke is thick and the war is raging.
When King Hongnong's banner floated from the top of the city.
Liu Biansong sighed.
He knew the battle was finally over.
but......
However, he did not relax at all, and immediately ordered: "Send orders to Deng Zhi and Zhang Zhen to assemble the army quickly and rush to the reinforcements of Guangcheng Pass. It is enough to leave Dagu Pass to Niu Yong."
The messenger cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "No."
Immediately.
Pegasus rushed to deliver the order:
"Deng Zhi and Zhang Zhen listened to the order and quickly organized their troops to assist Guangcheng Pass."
"Niu Yong obeys orders, cleans the battlefield and cleans up the mess."
"Deng Zhi, Zhang Zhen listens to the order..."
"Niu Yong..."
"..."
When military orders are issued one after another.
The voice of the military advisor alliance sounded again: "Master Bian, judging from the time, the probability of success at Guangcheng Pass is 88.7%. Once the army returns to Guangcheng Pass, Xu Rong and Lu Bu will definitely escape to Yique Pass."
"What the experts mean..."
Liu Bian followed the thinking of the military-strategist alliance: "Let me set up an ambush on the road to Yique Pass?"
Military Advisor Alliance: "This... the idea is not bad, but Mr. Bian has no available soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shu and others are unreliable, so let's give up the final interception for the time being."
Well......
Liu Bian looked slightly embarrassed: "It's true that I took it for granted."
The Alliance of Military Advisors continued: "But Mr. Bian, the news of the fall of Dagu Pass will definitely reach Luoyang and Dong Zhuo in the shortest possible time. According to experts, there is no need to rest after resolving the battle at Guangcheng Pass." The army marched straight towards Luoyang."
"ah?"
Liu Bian was stunned: "So anxious?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors replied: "It's not about being anxious, it's about being quick with your troops! Otherwise, once Dong Zhuo gets the news, he will definitely make preparations in advance. If he wants to capture Luoyang, he will have to spend a lot of hard work."
Historically, after Sun Jian conquered Dagu Pass, Dong Zhuo personally led his army to fight with him. After his defeat, he rushed to Chang'an and Sun Jian was able to enter Luoyang.
but......
At this time, Luoyang was in ruins.
Sun Jian found basically nothing except the jade seal.
However, this is not the case with Liu Bian today. He took the lead in launching a war against Dong Zhuo and the progress was quite smooth. As of now, it is only in late March.
According to the time calculation, Dong Zhuo began to move the capital in mid-to-late February, and the young emperor Liu Xie took control of Chang'an in early March. During this period, Dong Zhuo burned, killed, and looted in Luoyang for more than a month.
Luoyang is a treasure house.
Not to mention a month, even half a year, it may not be possible to loot everything.
Not to mention the imperial seal in the corner, even the books in the palace could not be taken away.
Although Liu Bian also provided a lot of classics and information to experts when he was in Luoyang Palace, he was unable to get a full picture.
Now that he had the opportunity to reach Luoyang Palace, how could Liu Bian give up such a good opportunity?
"certainly!"
The Alliance of Military Advisors added: "Our first goal is to obtain the imperial seal. In this way, Bian Ye becoming emperor in Nanyang will be even more full of the charm of divine right of imperial power."
"At that time, the Northern and Southern Han Dynasties will be in conflict, and the world situation will undergo drastic changes again. Due to his defeat, Dong Zhuo's power has been greatly damaged, and he can't take care of us at all. At best, he can only rely on some political... political means to make the Central Plains more chaotic and add more obstacles to Bian Ye."
"Master Bian can put up the great flag of the Han Emperor, recruit talents, and quickly strengthen himself. According to the previous plan, he can first stabilize the interior of Nanyang, and then recruit, beat, and kill some of the selected nobles.
"
"Nanyang is the smelting center of the country, with hundreds of large and small smelting workshops, and the level of smelting and casting craftsmen is also first-rate in the country. Considering this, experts suggest starting with steel and lighting up the technology tree."
"Besides, by the time we return to Nanyang, it will probably be the planting season. Nanyang is a major grain-producing county in the country. Experts have applied for two-line hybrid rice to Ben Ye."
"As long as Mr. Bian can master this hybrid rice method, he will no longer have to worry about food in the future. Especially after Jingzhou is captured and handed over to the state, it can be used as a natural granary."
"..."
Damn it!
Liu Bian couldn't believe his ears.
You know, hybrid rice research results are secrets among secrets.
Although two-line hybrid rice is a relatively primitive hybrid rice technology and is no longer used across the country, Liu Bian couldn't believe that experts could actually apply for it.
The yield per mu was often 700 kilograms. If converted to the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the yield per mu would be more than 20 shi. Even if there was the impact of the Little Ice Age, which would lead to a reduction in grain production, it would definitely be able to defeat any prince in the world.
Liu Bian was very excited: "Thank you to the experts, I really appreciate it."
Military Advisor Alliance: "Work hard."
"Um."
Liu Bian nodded: "I will! When the Guangcheng Pass matter is settled, I will personally kill people and rush to Luoyang, and take away all the inheritance from Luoyang, leaving no one behind."
Military Advisor Alliance: "Okay."
******
On the way back to Guangchengguan.
A troop of troops is marching hastily.
"Report—!"
At this moment, a rapid announcement sounded from the front.
Deng Zhi raised his eyes and looked up.
But when he saw his own scouts galloping towards him, he dismounted his horse, leaned over and said with his hands in his arms: "Deng Sima, please report back from the scouting horse ahead. Our cavalry is in the direction of Laoyangpo."
"Laoyangpo?"
Deng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and this place name came to his mind.
He quickly stretched out his hand: "Map."
Deputy General Deng Peng hurriedly took out the map from his arms and handed it over: "Sima."
Deng Zhi took it, started browsing, and found the location of Laoyangpo at a glance.
At the same time, he quickly searched his own direction, trying to find the shortest distance between the two.
"Three forks!"
Deng Peng looked confused: "Sima, the distance is too far, so I'm afraid it's difficult to support us. Let's go straight to Guangcheng Pass. That's the key to victory or defeat this time."
"But......"
Deng Zhi frowned and said unwillingly: "There are at least seven or eight thousand wolf cavalry, but there are only a thousand cavalry under General Zhang. The difference in strength is too big. If this continues, they may not be able to sustain it for long. How can I, Deng Zhi,
You can see death without saving anything."
"I'm going!"
Zhang Zhen took a step forward and said with bright eyes: "Deng Sima, I will lead troops to support General Zhang. You go straight to Guangcheng Pass and make a surprise attack behind him. This way you will have the best of both worlds."
"It's better for me to support General Zhang."
In this regard, Deng Zhi was very insistent and said with absolute certainty: "My Yuanyang Battalion is very suitable for fighting in this terrain. If we cooperate with General Zhang's cavalry, we will definitely win a complete victory."
"good!"
Zhang Zhen nodded.
As long as someone goes to support Zhang Liao, he can rest assured: "In that case, brothers, give all the caltrops bags prepared in advance to the brothers in Yuanyang Camp."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "No."
Immediately.
They took off the caltrops bags from their waists and handed them to the Yuanyangying brothers beside them with both hands.
Zhang Zhen cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Deng Sima, General Zhang is relying on you."
Deng Zhi nodded: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Zhang Zhendan smiled: "Brothers, the target is Daguguan, move forward at full speed!"
Watching Zhang Zhen leave, Deng Zhi also waved his hand fiercely: "Brothers, follow me, remember to follow closely, don't fall behind, let alone get lost."
All the soldiers: "No."
The two teams passed each other and went to their respective destinations.
Go through three forks.
Deng Zhi did not go straight to Laoyang Slope, but stopped at the Goat Pass below it.
This was originally the ambush place he was responsible for.
Now, we can take advantage of the wolf cavalry to pursue them and cooperate with Zhang Liao's cavalry to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
"Deng Peng."
"exist."
"Have someone put down the caltrop bags and quickly lead them to occupy the high ground on the left."
"promise."
"Deng Yi."
"exist."
"You lead people to occupy the high ground on the right."
"promise."
"The rest of them are coming with me with their caltrops bags."
"promise."
Deng Zhi was sending people to prepare.
suddenly.
Rumble~~
A slight earthquake sounded, and then became heavier and heavier.
Deng Zhi looked back.
Within the field of vision, a torrent of smoke and dust was rolling in.
Such a distance can be reached in just a blink of an eye for the cavalry.
Deng Zhi did not hesitate and quickly ordered: "Quickly open the caltrop bag, find a bunker and hide it. As soon as our cavalry passes by, immediately throw out the caltrops and create chaos. Do you understand?"
All the soldiers nodded in unison: "No."
Deng Zhi felt at ease, hid himself, and waited for the wolf cavalry to arrive.
