Four hundred and fiftieth chapters: The Battle of Luoyang Nineteen
What Li Mi said is true. The truth or falsehood of this news is very important to the Wagang Army. If it is true that the counter-rebels are hiding in Luoyang City, it means that the defenders in Luoyang City except those seven or eight In addition to the thousands of Yulin troops, there are at least 30,000 counter-rebellion troops. Although the current counter-rebellion troops are not as powerful as the counter-rebellion army under Zhang Xutuo, they must not be underestimated. More importantly, there are many The deployment of these 30,000 troops has narrowed the gap in strength between the attacking and defending sides. This is not good news for the Wagang Army.
Zhai Rang naturally understood what Li Mi meant. He immediately nodded in agreement. Then he turned around and shouted: "Mr. Jia, I will leave this matter to you. Immediately send someone to investigate Sishui Pass. I want to go there Know the whereabouts of the counter-rebels as soon as possible."
The Mr. Jia Zhai Rang spoke of was naturally not the Jia Runfu who betrayed the rebels. He was Zhai Rang's number one think tank, Jia Xiong. After hearing Zhai Rang's order, Jia Xiong immediately bowed to Zhai Rang and accepted the task. Hearing Zhai Rang talk about Jia Xiong made Li Mi suddenly think of Jia Runfu. His eyes lit up immediately and he said, "By the way, there is a Jia Runfu in our army who surrendered from the counter-rebellion army." He must recognize this counter-rebel force. As long as he waits until the war begins, take him with him and let him identify himself in the army. Then he will naturally know whether there is a counter-rebel force in the city."
Hearing what Li Mi said, everyone also thought of Jia Runfu. Zhai Rang nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, quickly. Find that Jia Runfu. We can just put him to use."
Compared with his father Jia Wuben, this Jia Runfu is far behind. In addition, there are many wise men in the Wagang army. In comparison, Jia Runfu seems to have little ability. And before Zhai Rang The purpose of contacting Jia Runfu with Li Mi was to disintegrate the rebels. Now that Jia Runfu's identity has been exposed, it will be of no use to Wagang Village. Naturally, no one will pay attention to this person who was once a traitor. It is necessary to start with an army of 500,000 people. It was quite difficult to find such an inconspicuous person. It was not until dawn that Jia Runfu, dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, was escorted to the big tent by a sergeant.
After finding Jia Runfu, Zhai Rang and Li Mi did not delay any longer. They immediately ordered their troops and horses to beat the war drums. They immediately ordered to attack Luoyang again. Hundreds of thousands of troops set off and formed a formation around the city of Luoyang. Following the war drums With the sound of the sound, the battle between the Wagang Army and the defenders at the top of Luoyang City was about to break out.
Outside the east gate, all the generals of the Wagang Army gathered here. Looking at the city head opposite, they were also densely packed with people. Many of them were generals wearing fine armor. Zhai Rang frowned and immediately gave Jia Runfu next to him. He brought it over and pointed at the city head and shouted: "Take a closer look at it. Are there any generals who have fought against the rebels among them?"
At this moment, Jia Runfu is so pitiful. He is dirty and is being carried like a chicken by Zhai Rang. Look ahead. Luoyang City is still several miles away. This Jia Runfu is just a scholar. How can one have such good eyesight to see clearly the appearance of the man in the city? He could only look at Zhai Rang with a bitter face. He said helplessly: "Big, big, big boss, little man, little man can't see it." Qing, this is too far."
"Hmph. Waste." I was originally waiting for Jia Runfu to give an answer, but I didn't expect to hear such words. Zhai Rang was also disappointed and annoyed. He just waved his hand and threw the thin Jia Runfu to the ground. . shouted in a deep voice: "Since you can't see clearly, then why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry up and take a closer look."
When he fell to the ground, his whole body seemed to be broken. Jia Runfu was so painful that he gritted his teeth. Now, he regretted deeply that he had betrayed the counter-rebel army. If he was given another chance to come back, he would definitely not He would choose to betray the counter-rebels. Now he has ended up like this. But there is no regret medicine in this world. Although Jia Runfu regrets in his heart, in the face of Zhai Rang's fierce eyes and the indifferent attitude of Li Mi and others, Jia Runfu can only He climbed up unsteadily. Under the protection of the rebel soldiers, he rushed forward.
The city was getting closer and closer. Jia Runfu became more and more frightened. After all, this was a battlefield. And the other party was probably the counter-rebel army. He betrayed the counter-rebel army and seriously injured Pei Renji, causing Pei Renji to die. He lost his right arm. Now the counter-rebel army must hate him to the core. If he appeared in front of the counter-rebel army, needless to say, there would be only one way to die. Even if there were guards around him, Jia Runfu was still worried. He was afraid. At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot out.
When Jia Runfu was only about a thousand steps away from the city wall, Jia Runfu's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly raised his head and looked forward. Although he could not clearly see the faces of the people on the city wall, he could feel it. Jia Runfu could almost subconsciously feel the cold gazes shot from the top of the city. Among these gazes was the gaze of Luo Shixin, known as the number one general in the counter-rebellion army. Now Jia Runfu was No matter what, I didn't dare to step forward anymore. I quickly shouted to the sergeants on the left and right: "No need to step forward. No need to step forward. I can see clearly. I can see clearly."
The main task of those sergeants was to let Jia Runfu determine whether the people on the top of the city were the generals of the counter-rebellion army. As for Jia Runfu's life, they didn't value it very much. So they didn't pay attention to Jia Runfu's previous words to stop. Instead, they continued to press Jia Runfu forward. But when Jia Runfu said that he had clearly seen the people on the top of the city, the sergeants stopped. One of them asked in a deep voice: "But I have seen clearly. Are you suppressing the rebels?" of men and horses.”
"See it clearly. See it clearly." Jia Runfu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He could already clearly feel the eyes coming from the top of the city. They were bursts of killing intent. Although he actually didn't see it clearly at all. Afraid that these sergeants would drag him forward, he nodded repeatedly and shouted: "That's right. It's a counter-rebel force. It's a counter-rebel force."
"Whoops." At this moment, a sound pierced the air suddenly sounded. An arrow suddenly pierced the sky and shot straight towards Jia Runfu. Fortunately, a sergeant next to him saw the opportunity quickly and stretched out his hand to push Jia Runfu. Jia Runfu was pushed to the ground, but he just escaped the fatal arrow. Jia Runfu, who fell to the ground, happened to look at the arrow inserted into the soil in front of him. The arrow was deeply inserted into the soil, and it was still trembling slightly. Ling Yu saw that Jia Runfu was frightened. He dared to stay here any longer. He immediately shouted: "Quick. Quick. Take me away. Take me away quickly. I don't want to stay here."
When Jia Runfu said this, he lay motionless on the ground. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that his whole body was paralyzed with fear. He didn't have any strength at all. And the sergeant beside him saw it. . They also immediately dragged Jia Runfu back. Although they did not despise people like Jia Runfu, he was still useful to Zhai Rang and Li Mi. So they also had to save Jia Runfu's life. Immediately they were at a loss. The ground dragged Jia Runfu down.
On the top of the city, after watching Jia Runfu being dragged down, Qin Qiong, who was holding a long bow, also dropped the long bow with a face full of annoyance. He kicked the city wall in front of him hard, and a small hole was directly kicked out. Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and shouted. : "Damn it. Let this despicable villain run away."
As a member of the counter-rebel army and a junior of Pei Renji, Qin Qiong naturally hated Jia Runfu, who had betrayed the counter-rebel army and had Pei Renji's arm broken. So when he saw Jia Runfu clearly appearing outside the city, Qin Qiong immediately came. I want to bring a bow and arrow. I want to kill the traitor with one arrow. Qin Qiong's archery skills are also very good. For Qin Qiong, it is not an exaggeration to cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps. It's just that the distance between the city and Jia Runfu is so far. It's a long distance. After all, Qin Qiong doesn't have the shooting skills like Changsun Heng'an. So he still can't shoot the thief. He can only watch his enemy escape.
Seeing Qin Qiong's annoyed look, Wan He who was beside him quickly persuaded him: "Uncle Bao, don't be anxious. It doesn't matter if you can't kill him today. Sooner or later, this thief will fall into our hands. Let's take good care of him then." Construct him to avenge General Pei."
After hearing Wan He's consolation, Qin Qiong's face became a little better. But there was a hint of helplessness and regret on his face. He sighed: "Oh, if Master Jia knew, his son would do such disloyalty." I'm afraid there will be no peace even under the influence of Jiuquan." Jia Runfu's father, Jia Wuben, was very loyal to Zhang Xutuo. He also tried his best to put down the rebel army. But he didn't expect that after his death. His son actually betrayed the counter-rebel army and even pointed the weapon at his comrades.
When Qin Qiong said this, Wan He couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Li Jing, who was next to him, also frowned and said to Wan He and Qin Qiong: "We'd better prepare carefully now. The other party actually sent Jia Runfu up. So After going around in a circle, we were taken down again. I am afraid that the thieves already know our details. Next, we must be prepared. The enemy may launch an offensive at any time. Lord, it is best to let the other three gates The defenders are all prepared for defense and ready to fight at any time."
As if to confirm Li Jing's words, the next moment, the sound of war drums sounded from all directions in Luoyang City at the same time. The expressions of Wan He and others changed. It seemed that just as Li Jing said, the Wagang Army was preparing to launch an attack. Wan He and others' expressions changed. He immediately shouted to Zhu Muwu behind him: "Xiaowu, hurry up and send orders to the other three city gates. Prepare to fight. You must defend Luoyang."
