Four hundred and sixtieth chapters: the battle of Luoyang twenty-five
"Uncle Bao, Medicine Master." Just when the Sui army on the top of the city was about to lose its defense, a shout suddenly came from the direction of the city behind them. When they heard this voice, Li Jinghe, who was fighting, Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment. This stupefaction almost caused them to be injured. It was not that the two of them had poor concentration, but that the voice of the person calling was too familiar to them.
"Master Guo." Looking at Wan He who was rushing towards this side, Li Jing and Qin Qiong were both going crazy. What was going on in front of them? Both of them were ready to sacrifice. Why does Wan He still come to join in the fun? Who has time to protect him now? Qin Qiong waved the iron whip and fought with the enemy while shouting: "My lord, it's too dangerous here. Come back quickly. Go back quickly. Go back quickly." Go to the palace."
Not only is it unsafe at the top of the city, it is also very dangerous to stay in the city. The only way is to hide in the palace. With the guards of the palace, it may be possible to resist for a while. Qin Qiong is already mentally prepared. He has already He planned to risk his life to defend the city, but Wan He's safety had to be taken into consideration.
Although Qin Qiong shouted this, Wan He, who was rushing towards this side, obviously didn't appreciate it. He rushed to the stairs leading to the city head in one breath, pointed at the city head and shouted behind him: "Everyone is coming. Charge up to me and kill these thieves back."
Hearing Wan He's shouting, Li Jing and Qin Qiong, who took the time to turn around and take a look, were stunned again. Only then did they realize that Wan He did not come alone this time. There were at least 10,000 people behind him. The men and horses rushed out from behind Wan He in a dark mass. They rushed straight up the stairs towards the top of the city.
The sudden appearance of these more than 10,000 people immediately changed the situation on the city. Although these more than 10,000 people were nothing to the more than 100,000 tile army outside the city, it was impossible for the more than 100,000 tile army to They all appeared at the top of the city. In addition, the appearance of more than 10,000 people was too sudden. In less than half an hour, they actually forced the Wagang Army, which had just suppressed the Sui Army, to retreat from the city. Head. At the same time, loud shouts of killing were also heard from the other three directions. Obviously, this scene was also happening on the other three sides of the city.
"This. This is..." Li Jing and Qin Qiong were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. At this moment, the sound of gold ringing sounded outside the city again, which sounded like fairy music to the Sui army. The Wagang army retreated. .
Obviously, the sudden appearance of soldiers and horses made the commander-in-chief of the Wagang Army outside the city also feel that something was wrong. He could only temporarily order the troops to retreat. Seeing the Wagang Army retreating like a tide, the Wagang Army experienced a hard battle on the top of the city. The officers and soldiers of the Sui army did not cheer much. Instead, they just sat limply on the ground. In the past few days, they would react like this every time they repelled the Wagang army. On the contrary, those who had just rushed to the city The men and horses who had driven back the Wagang army all cheered. Li Jing, with the support of Qin Qiong, went directly to the top of the city and walked towards Wan He.
Wan He was also shocked when he saw Li Jing asking for help. He immediately turned over and dismounted, and quickly came to Li Jing. He asked Li Jing: "How is the pharmacist? He is injured. He is seriously injured." Okay? I'll send someone to ask Dr. Chao to treat you right away." Wan He said. He immediately turned around and prepared to send someone to the palace.
Li Jing immediately called out to Wan He. Although the stab wounds on his back looked scary, they were actually just skin wounds. They were just bandaged afterwards. Li Jing gently broke away from Qin Qiong's support. He said to Wan He: "My lord, it's okay. It doesn't matter. My lord, these people..." When Li Jing asked the last sentence, he turned around and glanced at the ten thousand people who were still cheering at the top of the city. The remaining people had suspicious expressions on their faces.
For these heroes who saved Luoyang City today, Wan He's face was not grateful. Instead, he showed a trace of disgust. He snorted coldly and curled his lips and said: "It's not the soldiers in the hands of those aristocratic families. Mommy's. These... Old fox, if they hadn't been forced to the last moment, they might still have refused to send troops."
When Wan He said this, Li Jing and Qin Qiong finally understood. It turned out that these soldiers and horses were all private soldiers obtained from various aristocratic families. At this time, Li Jing and Qin Qiong also discovered that the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were actually wearing clothes. Wearing commoners and simple armors, they are obviously not regular soldiers. I am afraid that these people are usually servants and servants of various aristocratic families.
Although the power of the aristocratic families in Luoyang City is not as powerful as that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the power hidden in the hands of these aristocratic families is still very strong. Just like not long ago, Liu Changgong sent troops to attack Wagang Village. Those aristocratic families immediately dispatched 20,000 troops for Liu Changgong. Looking at it now, more than 10,000 people have been sent to the East City alone. The other three city gates are probably not much less. The power of the aristocratic family is really terrifying. At the same time, Li Jing and Qin Qiong are finally here. I know why Wan He is upset. These aristocratic families obviously have so much power, but they have never been willing to send out to help Wan He defend the city. If they had come to help earlier, this battle would not have been so difficult.
Although Li Jing and Qin Qiong were also dissatisfied with this, there was nothing they could do about it. From a certain point of view, Wan He and these aristocratic families were still enemies, because the person in charge of the public rumors promoted by these aristocratic families before was none other than Yuan Wendu. But Yuan Wendu was forcibly thrown into the prison by Wan He. These aristocratic families hated Wan He and it was too late. How could they help Wan He?
Thinking so in their hearts, Li Jing and Qin Qiong did not say anything. Instead, they turned their heads and looked at the private soldiers of aristocratic families who were cheering on the top of the city. They frowned. They shook their heads and said, "Although these private soldiers will defeat the Wagang Army today, They were repulsed. But it only played a surprise role. I think the combat capabilities of these private soldiers are really poor. There is no forbidden offensive formation at all. They just attack randomly. Wait until tomorrow when the thieves have calmed down. They are vulnerable."
Regarding Li Jing's analysis, Qin Qiong had the same idea. But Wan He laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. The half-day they bought us is enough. I have just received a message from Xinyao. Lao Liu has arrived."
Hearing Wan He's last words, Li Jing and Qin Qiong's eyes suddenly lit up. Li Jing didn't even care about the injuries on his back. He stood up straight and said to Wan He with excitement: "Really "They're here. This is really great." As for Qin Qiong, although he didn't know who Wan He was talking about, he also knew that they were talking about the secret chess game Wan He had played before.
"Yes." Wan He also nodded vigorously. But he raised his head and glanced at the city. He smiled and said: "When I just received the news, Wuji also gave me an idea. Let Lao Liu do that Let's wait until tomorrow before taking action. Let the people of these aristocratic families have a taste of it tomorrow. Hey, I'm sure. These aristocratic families must still have a lot of trump cards in their hands. If we don't squeeze them dry, how can we be worthy of the soldiers who have sacrificed in the past few days? .”
As soon as Wan He said this harmful move, Li Jing and Qin Qiong immediately looked at each other. However, neither of them had any objections to this harmful move. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it. These aristocratic families have been sitting idly by for the past few days. They just wanted to kill the power in Wan He's hands. They thought that after Wan He's strength was wiped out, they would have the final say in Luoyang City. Changsun Wuji's method was also to use a trick to kill the family's power. When almost all the money has been consumed, it's time for Wanhe to reveal his real trump card.
The Wagang Army chose to retreat at this time because it was already very late. It didn't take long for the sky to get completely dark. Originally, according to the previous battle situation, the Wagang Army planned to attack Luoyang City in one go. But in the current situation, Luoyang will definitely not be captured in a short time. Then it will inevitably be dragged into a night battle. The night battle will cause too much damage to the Wagang Army. That's why they decisively chose to retreat.
At the same time, in a small valley ten miles west of Luoyang City, a troop of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses was quietly stationed here. Although there were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, all the soldiers were silent. Silently, he stayed where he was and rested. The entire valley was completely silent, as if the soldiers standing, sitting, or lying down were all lifeless statues.
After a while, a clear chant came from above, breaking the tranquility of the valley. A big bird flew over from the east of the valley and hovered over the army for a while. Then he swooped down straight and spotted the center of the valley. A soldier with a thick leather sheath in his hand fell down directly. The soldier gently touched the big bird's neck, and then lifted it from the waist. He took out a piece of meat from his skin bag and threw it directly to the big bird to eat. Immediately afterwards, he took out a small scroll from a bamboo tube tied to the big bird's claws. Then he turned around and took the scroll. He handed it to a young general wearing fine armor beside him. Then he bowed and retreated with Big Bird.
The young general took the scroll. He opened it and looked at it by the light of the torch next to him. He smiled faintly and held the scroll tightly. He smiled and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Go ahead. Tomorrow." Our army can take action now. Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight and recharge their batteries. Tomorrow we will make a killing and avenge our previous shame."
