Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 150 Despair(1/2)
"Is there any news about Lu Zhaoci?" Night fell. Although the lights were brightly lit in the rebel camp, there were also screams. Today's brutal fighting left the majestic Chang'an city wall stained with blood and arrows.
Numerous scars appeared on the city wall where the attack occurred, and a lot of the city wall collapsed. After a bloody battle, tens of thousands of troops inflicted casualties several times their own on the opponent, but they also lost most of them, even the company.
The more than 10,000 cavalrymen also lost nearly 2,000 people. Now Li Daen has less than 30,000 soldiers. This shows how cruel and tragic today's fighting was.
"No." Pei Xuanji looked sad and shook his head.
"I didn't expect this guy to hide so deep. The shouts of killing were loud in Chang'an City. He almost fell into our hands several times. It's really rare for him to be so calm." Pei Gongdao fiercely took the gun in his hand.
The luminous cup hit the ground, and the luminous cup worth a hundred gold was immediately smashed into pieces.
He is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but is afraid of comrades who are like pigs. Li Daen glanced at the two brothers Pei Gongdao, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. This son of the Pei family is a teammate like a pig, and he doesn't even know this. Pei
After all, the Guanlong family is also one of the Guanlong families, a famous family. This Guanlong family can be said to be the Guanlong military family. The children of these families study literature and martial arts. They are much better than the children of the Guandong family, but all these characteristics seem to be different from Pei
I haven't met any of the brothers. No wonder Li Daen despises these two people.
"Lu Zhaoci is around here." Li Daen's eyes sparkled, and he sighed deeply, saying: "We can't stay here anymore. I ordered people to pack up immediately and return to the Western Regions overnight."
"Leaving at this time?" Pei Gongdao stared blankly and said dissatisfied: "At this time, the soldiers have just left the battlefield. If we leave at this time, I am afraid the soldiers will object. What's more, no matter how powerful Lu Zhaoci is,
It is impossible to attack our army overnight. The prince is too impatient. The general thinks that if we retreat tomorrow, anyway, Chang'an City no longer has the strength to counterattack our army. Lu Zhaoci is probably still far away in Hebei at this time.
Woolen cloth!"
"Idiot, if Lu Zhaoci is still in Hebei at this time, then your father will not be arrested." The more Li Dayen thought about it, the more nervous he became. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "What are you still doing? If
If you don’t want to die, just listen to me and we will leave immediately.”
"What should we do with the wounded soldiers?" Pei Xuanji asked.
"How can we protect them if we can't even save our own lives?" Li Daen glared at Pei Xuanji fiercely and sneered: "Can we still leave with these wounded soldiers? Those prefectures and counties along the way
I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to fight with us for a while. By then we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"Yes, we're leaving now. Erlang, pack your bags quickly." Pei Gongdao pulled Pei Xuanji's sleeve as if he had thought of something.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will pack my bags soon." Pei Xuanji also said.
"The faster, the better." Li Da'en waved his hand and said, "Beat the drums and gather the generals." In an instant, the drums in the army rumbled and shook the city of Chang'an.
"The Chinese army has gathered." The rebel general who was about to lie down and rest was shocked when he saw the drums of the Chinese army beating. Although he was curious, he still struggled to get up, put on his clothes and armor, and headed towards the Chinese army's tent.
.
"What's going on? What does Li Da'en want to do?" On top of Chang'an City Tower, Lu Zhaoying looked curiously at the lights not far away, like the sound of rumbling war drums.
"I don't know." Qin Yong also shook his head in confusion.
"It's not like he wants to run away!" Lu Zhaoying said with a smile: "Li Da'en is bold and decisive when running away at this time. He can even abandon the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers under his command."...
"Which general is on duty upstairs? His Royal Highness the King of Han has ordered us to come here." Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the opposite side. A burst of shouting suddenly came from the city.
"Hey, why does he look like that boy Gan Chong?" Lu Zhaoying looked down. He saw several huge torches shining down, and he saw Gan Chong leading several horses to stop under the tower.
"It is indeed Gan Chong!" Lu Zhaoying's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Brother finally sent the order. It seems that the decisive battle will begin soon."
"Are you the fourth general above? The last general, Gan Chong, would like to pay you a courtesy." As soon as Gan Chong heard the shouts from above, he knew that it must be Lu Zhaoying above him, and he quickly handed over his hands.
"Hurry, open the city gate and rush in." Lu Zhaoying said with a smile: "Let's go, Qin Yong, go see your junior brother. This kid has a different reaction now. After all, he has commanded an army of hundreds of thousands.
A character."
"Four Generals, please." Qin Yong also showed a smile on his face and said: "This is not the credit of His Highness's teachings, otherwise the thirty of us would only be at the level of fire chief or captain, how would we have achieved what we have today.
Gan Chong, no matter who he is, he is still a disciple of the teacher."
"Okay, okay." Lu Zhaoying stopped after hearing this, patted Qin Yong on the shoulder and said, "You are very good. You can remember your status. People who are easy to be content will always enjoy wealth and wealth."
"Uncle Master?" Qin Yong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lu Zhaoying curiously, but he didn't understand why Lu Zhaoying would tell him about this matter at this time, but when he wanted to ask again, Lu Zhaoying had already gone down the tower, and he was helpless.
Then, I had no choice but to suppress the doubts in my heart and follow along.
The city gate slowly opened. Gan Chong was seen rushing in. He was still so majestic and heroic, standing on the horse, he looked a bit like a general. Qin Yong felt envious in his heart, and there was a hint of jealousy in his heart, but
Suddenly thinking of what Lu Zhaoying said just now, this jealousy had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Four generals, His Highness has an order, saying that Li Da'en is probably going to escape tonight, and the four generals are asking the four generals to wait for an opportunity to hold Li Da'en back." Gan Chong stood on his horse, with a trace of dust on his face, looking at Lu Zhaoying and said.
"When will eldest brother return to Chang'an?" Lu Zhaoying asked quickly.
"I'll be back tomorrow." Gan Chong said quickly: "Four generals, the last one has to go back to His Majesty's tent to obey orders, so I'll leave first. Come on!" Without waiting for Lu Zhaoying to react, he rushed out of Chang'an City and disappeared.
In the dark night.
"I didn't expect that old boy Li Da'en was really going to run away. Hey, now that we're here, don't think about escaping. Let's go, Qin Yong. We'll gather our troops and have a fight with Li Da'en. Hey! Qin Yong
.Why do you look so bad!" Lu Zhaoying laughed loudly, and suddenly saw Qin Yong's pale face, and asked curiously.
"That guy is rude and deserves to be punished!" Qin Yong said, looking at the darkness opposite.
"Why?" Lu Zhaoying frowned and asked curiously.
"What kind of person is the general? You are the sibling of the King of Han. Not to mention that his title is far higher than that of Gan Chong. Even the fact that you are His Highness's biological brother is enough for our thirty students to respect. Gan Chong
Not only did Chong hit the general with his horse, but he also dared to speak to the general while standing on his horse. This is disrespectful to the general and to His Highness the King of Han. This man deserves to be killed." Qin Yong said coldly.
.
"Haha, that's it!" Lu Zhaoying shook his head and said with a smile: "Gan Lang also has important matters. He is passing on the orders of the eldest brother. There is nothing wrong with standing on the horse. The military situation is urgent, so naturally he has no time to pay attention to these customs.
.You and I are both soldiers, and soldiers don’t care about these things. Gan Chong and Zu Ming led hundreds of thousands of troops across the south of the Yangtze River. They are the meritorious ministers of our Lu family. Haha, what does this little thing mean?
Calculative.”….
"Huh! Zhuzi deserves to be killed." Qin Yong's face was gloomy.
"Okay, okay." Lu Zhaoying said with a smile: "Instead of being angry here, it's better to help me think about how to deal with this Li Daen. If this guy runs away, I won't be able to see my eldest brother. Hey
, if our army still has the same strength as before, it would be good to go out and attack. Unfortunately, Chang'an City's defense force is insufficient now, let alone attacking. It is still very difficult. Qin Lang, tell me what you can do.
No?"
"Since strength is not enough, then cheat!" Qin Yong narrowed his eyes and sneered: "If the general's guess is correct, His Highness will be able to arrive at Chang'an City tomorrow to defeat Li Da'en in one fell swoop. In other words, tonight is the key, General.
As long as we can hold Li Daen off for one night, it will be our credit."
"That's true, but how can you cheat?" Lu Zhaoying and Qin Yong said while climbing up the city wall.
"Four Generals, what do you think Li Daen and the others are doing across the way?" After climbing the city wall, Qin Yong saw that Lu Zhaoying didn't want to mention the incident just now, so he wisely stopped talking and pointed to the camp opposite.
I could only hear the bright lights and the loud beating of drums. I couldn't help but ask.
"The Chinese army is gathering together!" Lu Zhaoying said with narrowed eyes.
"The troops are being withdrawn." Qin Yong nodded, then shook his head and said: "Li Daen probably guessed that His Highness was leading the army nearby. It is now impossible for him to capture Chang'an. He wanted to save his life. On the one hand, he would withdraw to
When we go to the Western Regions, we enter Shu on the one hand and use the Tubo route to enter the Western Regions on the other."
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhaoying asked again.
"Haha, since the other party is also beating the drum, let's beat the drum too to scare them." Qin Yong laughed loudly.
"That's right, that's right." Lu Zhaoying's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say: "Since I can't attack you, it's better to scare you."
"No, General, our army beats the drum every half an hour, summons the uninjured brothers, and shouts for killing. He Li Da'en must not have the confidence to withdraw his troops, and must step up his defense, fearing that our army will take advantage of the situation to make a sneak attack.
, after doing this once or twice, I'm afraid he will give up the idea of withdrawing his troops." Qin Yong explained again.
"Okay." Lu Zhaoying said happily: "You go gather the brothers, and I will beat the drum here. Humph, if he is not fooled, I will personally lead the troops to attack him. Anyway, I will not let them live in peace tonight.
, and we cannot let them escape tonight."
"The general understands by analogy, and I admire him." Qin Yong's eyes lit up.
"Hey, boy, I can't let you see all of this general." Lu Zhaoying patted Qin Yong's shoulder proudly and said, "Go and gather the brothers! I have been holding back my breath these days, and I was pressed down by the opponent.
When I was beaten, I felt a lot of fire in my stomach. If I don't vent it out, how can I get over it?"
"General, let's go now." Qin Yong also nodded and walked towards the city. Behind him, drums rumbled, shaking the entire Chang'an City in the night.
"What's the sound?" Li Da'en was in the Chinese army's tent giving instructions on the withdrawal of troops. Suddenly he heard the rumble of drums from the direction of Chang'an. His expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but stand up and asked.
"Your Highness, the gates of Chang'an City suddenly opened wide. Drums were rumbling on the city towers, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. There was a faint large group of people rushing towards the camp." At this time, the camp gate guard broke in and reported loudly.
"Lu Zhaoying is sneaking an attack on our army. Our army has been fighting for a day today, and most of the soldiers are exhausted, so they are attacking us at this time. Your Highness, we have to fight back!" Pei Gongdao couldn't help but stand.
Get up and say loudly.
"Shut up. Are you so frightened by the shouts of killing?" Li Da'en turned around and shouted coldly. Then he carefully listened to the movements outside the camp...
"Hmph, how dare you dare to act recklessly in front of me with this little plan? Has Lu Zhaoying forgotten where this king comes from? When I was fighting with the Turks on the grassland, I had already developed a pair of ears. As long as I
If you listen carefully, you will know how many people are coming from the other side. If Lu Zhaoying wants to lure the enemy, but he doesn't know whether it is true or not, he will send more soldiers to dress up. Maybe I will really be fooled. It's better for him, but it's just
They just beat the drums a few times and shouted to kill for a while. They just wanted to scare me, but they really underestimated me. Then they discussed the matter and let them play!" After hearing this, all the generals in the big tent laughed.
He stood up and his face became much more relaxed.
"This guy is very calm." Lu Zhaoying stayed on the top of the city for a long time. When he saw that there was no movement in the opponent's camp, a look of annoyance suddenly appeared on his face.
"General, don't worry. Since the other party won't be fooled, just turn the lie into reality, and then get back within a stone's throw of the opponent. In this way, even if the opponent chases you out, it will still take a certain amount of time.
.Then combine the false and the true to see if Li Daen is still so calm." Qin Yong said with a cold expression.
To be continued...
