Fufeng Song

() Not as Xue Tong said.The question of where the enemy came from, you only need to go back to the city and ask; but seeing the smoldering smoke in Jinyang city, the soldiers are in a mess. If the officers don't hurry to restrain them, I don't know what will happen Come.

So everyone didn't want to talk too much, and hurriedly urged the army to enter the city.

With the alarm of the wolf smoke, the whole city will enter an extremely tense state.The army and horses stationed in the city need to be mobilized; additional manpower needs to be sent to all the city's frontiers; stone, wood, sword carts and other defensive equipment need to be prepared urgently; the people in the fields outside the city must either evacuate or retreat into the city; All the young and strong men in the whole city need to be re-counted and ready to issue weapons... Jinyang is like this at the moment, with countless messengers rushing to and fro for various matters, and there is an endless flow of people at the four city gates.Fortunately, Lu Yao's troops moved very quickly, otherwise they would almost be blocked outside the city.

When they arrived at the camp of the self-armed army, Deng Gang's soldiers offered food.All kinds of food and drink are extremely rich, obviously he has long been prepared for the triumphant return of the soldiers.But most of the soldiers were not in the mood to eat and drink, and were nervously waiting for the next news.

Lu Yao, who was the general in charge, did not enter the camp. He ordered Deng Gang to move the blanket and table, and simply got off his horse at the gate of the barracks to rest for a while.

The gate of their barracks is facing the road leading to the south of Jinyang City.After a long while, there was no mobilization of large groups of troops and horses, nor any gathering of young men.The streets were full of panicked residents, some fled into the city from outside the city, and some people carried small and small belongings and property, and they seemed to be planning to flee the city for their lives.Although there were soldiers shouting at every intersection to tell pedestrians to go back, but the number of soldiers was too small, and the soldiers were a little flustered, and gradually they couldn't control the situation.

After a while, Linghu Sheng, the general in charge of guarding Jinyang, sent an order to Lu Yao and Xue Tong to go to Daxiamen to discuss matters immediately.The messenger looked in a hurry, anxious to rush to another place, but Lu Yao still stayed with him for a while, asking him about the situation of the battle.

After corroborating the information relayed by the messenger with his original inference, he knew what kind of situation he was facing:

The Xiongnu is known as the leader of the Hu tribe, and there are 20 people on horseback and string strings. In fact, everyone with knowledge knows otherwise.The influence of the Southern Huns on the various ethnic groups in the north has long since declined and can be ignored.The troops Liu Yuan relied on in his uprising were only the five tribes of the Huns.Even if the miscellaneous Hus are included, the total force will not exceed 10.Considering that the 8 troops of the Luoyang Forbidden Army in the south of the Han Dynasty faced off across the Yellow River, and the military town of Yecheng was suppressed in the east.

This time Liu Yuan made a massive attack, dispatching about [-] to [-] troops.After deducting the troops staying behind Shan Yuting and the necessary border guards, this is indeed the largest mobile force that the Huns and Han can use.Therefore, Yue Shigong also poured out his troops and fought decisively with him in the counties in the south of Taiyuan.

However, no one thought that Liu Yuan would make such a determination.No one would have imagined that Long Jimeng, the Yokono general who was appointed by the Yueshi Public Committee, would collude with the Xiongnu.When the main forces of the two sides fought fiercely around Jiexiu, Liu He, the original Zuoxian king of the Xiongnu, led more than [-] elite soldiers stationed along the Yellow River, regardless of the Mengjin pass, and suddenly the whole army went north.They rushed to break through the natural danger of Zhiguan, and under Long Jimeng's internal and external cooperation, they captured Huguan in just one day and one night!

Among the soldiers stationed at Huguan, all those who were unwilling to join the Xiongnu were slaughtered, and this group of troops did not delay in Huguan.Armed with Long Jimeng's cronies, they continued northward like a gust of wind and fire, conquering Xiangyuan, Wuxiang, Yangyi and other cities along the way, and their troops went straight to Jinyang.

"The situation is critical!" Lu Yao clenched his fists tightly and shouted.

Now the camp of the Jin army has been seriously threatened. If the main force fails to return in time, the achievements of several months of hard work will disappear in an instant, and the enemy will attack back and forth.And if Yue Shigong sent his army back to rescue Jinyang, and Jiexiu's battle on the front line was undefeated and defeated, Liu Yuan's army of the Huns would chase after them, and the whole army would still be wiped out.

Lu Yao originally hoped that the situation would not be as bad as he had guessed, but the situation confirmed at this time was ten times more critical than he imagined.This made him feel a little dizzy, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

When the courier got on his horse and left, Lu Yao clacked and pressed the joint of his left metacarpal joint with the five fingers of his right hand, looked at Xue Tong, and said bitterly: "There is a folk song in the late Han Dynasty: To be a scholar, I don't know the book; to observe filial piety, my father lives away." Hansu is innocent and turbid like mud, and Gao Diliang is as timid as a chicken. This is already a sign of the end of the world. Unexpectedly, the third-rank general with a rank of two thousand stones, who is even more superior, colluded with a foreign race to betray his brothers..."

Xue Tong was startled suddenly, and said with a mixture of rage: "Since the barbarians captured Shangdang, then Gao Xiang...Gao Xiang..."

He was anxious about the situation of Shangdang just now, but he almost forgot the situation of Gao Xiang!Gao Xiang, the team leader who originally belonged to Lu Yao's team, switched to Long Jimeng's command a few months ago, and it is said that he is very popular.But Xue Tong knew very well that although he was strong and rebellious, he was jealous of evil, and would never join forces with traitors.Now that the barbarians are sweeping the Shangdang, Gao Xiang may be in danger!

Xue Tong and Gao Xiang have a deep friendship, and thinking of this, he suddenly became anxious.

Lu Yao also frowned tightly. He waved his hand to order He Yun to come closer, and said, "The cities of Shangdang are not too far away from Jinyang. A rout of soldiers will flee within a few days. You bring twenty clever Soldiers, go to various city gates to inquire, if you can meet Gao Xiang... or his subordinates, bring them to us immediately."

He Yun immediately took orders and went.

Shen Jin suddenly interjected: "Daoming, the situation is not good right now. Shall we ask the soldiers to make some preparations, otherwise... there may be danger."

His temperament was originally a little anxious, but even though he lowered his voice at this time, many people around could hear him clearly.

Lu Yao glanced at him, but did not answer.

Shen Jin became more and more anxious: "Daoming! General! We are all from Bingzhou, how many brothers are left who have been through life and death together in the past few years? You have to take care of everyone!"

Lu Yao remained silent, and nodded slightly after a while.Shen Jin immediately turned back to the camp.

Lu Yao looked at Shen Jin's furious back, took a deep breath, got on his horse and headed for Daxia Gate.

Xue Tong asked worriedly: "Daoming, can you hold on? Why don't I go for a while, so you can rest."

"Don't worry, I can support you as much as possible." Lu Yao waved his hand: "On the contrary, you, Xue, if you are worried about Gao Xiang's whereabouts, you might as well wait here."

"How can we harm public affairs because of personal friendship?" Xue Tong replied excitedly.

The two galloped all the way to the Daxia Gate in the north of the city, tied their horses under the city wall, and walked along the Dengcheng to the tower.

The steps made of rammed earth were in disrepair for a long time, and the two stepped on them in a hurry, and the steps suddenly shook and became unstable.The earth and rock debris rolled down the slope, making it difficult to stagger.Lu Yao's back and legs were seriously injured, and the pain was unbearable when he exerted a little force, but he just turned pale, regained his balance, and continued to stride forward.

Just reached the middle of the steps, I saw a few warriors helping a man dressed as a general go down.The man's hair was hanging down, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't know who it was; but his armor was all removed, revealing his bloody back, obviously he had just been severely whipped.

Lu Yao and Xue Tong looked at each other.General Linghu Sheng, the general of the army, was well-known for his profound qualifications. He was usually the prime minister of Lord Yue Shi, but he didn't have any special performance.In the Battle of Banqiao, I saw him leading troops against the enemy, and his tactics of using troops were only quite satisfactory.Who knew it was so hot.

On the tower, Linghu Sheng was giving lectures to several people.Lu and Xue rushed to meet each other and stood aside.Linghu Sheng returned the half-respect with a serious face, and continued to say to the people below: "...Although there is a military report, the enemy's situation is still unknown. The officers who lead the troops must stay calm!..."

Lu Yao secretly squinted to see that the beacon had been extinguished.

He knew that the one who had been flogged just now must be Zhang Qiao, the guard of the city gate. He must have suddenly learned that the Hu people were attacking in a big way, and he panicked and lit the beacon fire at the city gate without authorization, so he was punished.At this moment, Yue Shigong is leading the main force of the Jinyang Army to fight south. If the frontline soldiers hear that Jinyang has made a mistake, the army will be in chaos and the enemy will take advantage of it.Therefore, such news can be urgently reported by messengers, but it must not be made public with beacon fire.

Although Linghu Sheng's handling was somewhat harsh, it was indeed a mature and prudent approach.Under Yue Shigong's command, there really are no incompetent people.Even in such a desperate situation, should we try our best to grasp every opportunity?

Linghu Sheng repelled several officers under his rank, walked a few steps towards the city wall, and looked into the distance with his hands on the crenel.Suddenly he turned to Lu Yao and asked, "Daoming, how many soldiers are there in your army who can fight?"

Lu Yao took a few steps forward and said truthfully: "After deducting the number of people who died in this battle, there are 410 people in the whole army at this moment, and more than 39 of them are wounded. In addition, there are [-] old and weak civilian husbands in the camp in the city. You can go into battle with a knife."

Linghu Sheng nodded, and walked back and forth a few steps while pondering.Although he is known as a veteran, he is actually only in his fifties this year, but decades of wind, frost and swords have made his skin rough like winter peeling bark, giving people the impression of being old.At this moment, Linghu Sheng was very close to Lu Yao. In Lu Yao's eyes, his gray beard trembled slightly in the wind, making him look even more decadent.This is the age when you should be having grandchildren at home and enjoying family happiness, but you have to still fight on the battlefield, it is really forced by the times.

Lu Yao couldn't help but said: "Old General, although our army is few, our fighting spirit is strong. If we need to serve our lives, we are all willing to fight bravely until we die!"

There was a sharp flash in Linghu Sheng's eyes, and he approached Lu Yao and said, "I also know that Ming Shenxiong is good at fighting, so I really have a heavy responsibility to entrust... Daoming, are you willing to take over from Zhang Qiao and guard the Great Xia Gate?"

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback.

Jinyang City is surrounded by Fenshui River and Jinshui River. There are pontoon bridges across the river outside the city gates in the southeast direction. In case of emergency, the pontoon bridges can be retracted to stop the enemy.The Daxia Gate is on the north side of Jinyang, and the terrain outside the gate is flat and dry. It is very far from the Fenshui River to the right, and the Jinshui River flows through the left until it is near Tongming Gate, so it is very tight.

The city wall attached to Daxia Gate is about two miles long, accounting for one-sixth of the total length of Jinyang City Wall.It is not easy to be responsible for the defense of this section. Even if Linghu Sheng assigned all the more than [-] people under Zhang Qiao's subordinates to his subordinates, Lu Yao's troops were still seriously insufficient.There are no more than a thousand troops in total, even if they are all defending the city, there are barely two people per step.From the looks of it, it might be possible, but it would be absurd to rely on this number of people to organize a defense.

Seeing Lu Yao's hesitation, Linghu Sheng sighed, "I also know how difficult it is, if it wasn't forced by the situation..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yao bowed deeply to Linghu Sheng and said solemnly: "I accept the order!"
