Chapter 539 Black Hand Comes

Until nightfall, some of the thousands of soldiers and horses in front of Hulao Pass were killed by Dameng and the other was taken back to the pass by prisoners. Lei Bu and others were always frightened by the power of dozens of shocked crossbows and did not dare to rush up to save their comrades.

Five miles west of Luoyang, after Zhao Yun led his army to fight for half a day, the thousands of Han Wushang who had quietly walked around Ji Ling and others suddenly came over. Ji Ling's army was killed off guard and was caught off guard.

After taking advantage of the chaos, the Han Wuzhang, Zhao Yun and others quickly retreated towards Luoyang.

When Ji Ling and others saw that the sky was getting darker, they were so depressed that they could not relieve themselves, and they wanted to tear Zhao Yun and others apart, but in desperation, they had to retreat temporarily and set up camp.

Although the battle was already dark outside, Luoyang City was not affected much. First, the troops came and went to the city in the future, and second, the people in the city had experienced many changes, and now they fully believed in Liu He and others. Seeing the enemy coming in a fierce manner, they were blocked outside the city, the people were relieved and did whatever they should do, and no one thought about running away.

In the General's Mansion, Xun Yu and others sat opposite each other, and everyone seemed to feel much more relaxed.

Zhao Yun said seriously: "In today's battle, our army won a small victory, but the attack in Yuzhou this time was nearly 100,000 troops. Today, the damage will be no more than 10,000. I wonder how we should stop tomorrow?"

Xun Yu said: "Today, the two sides confronted each other for the first time. Zhou Ping and I did not intend to focus on killing the enemy, but focused on slapping the enemy's agility."

"That's true." Cui Jun continued Xun Yu's words.

"The enemy's army is powerful, our army has few soldiers, and Yuan Shu has planned for a long time. Once it is launched, everyone under his tent will naturally be brave. If you want to repel or annihilate it, you must first make his aura weak and his heart tremble before you can win."

Deng Yuan was a little confused: "It's normal for the general to look at the soldiers in Yuzhou. Ji Ling is known as the number one general under Yuan Shu's tent, but I can't even beat me. He hates me now so much that he almost wants to tear me to pieces. He is just willing to let me challenge the enemy tomorrow. He will definitely face the challenge. At that time, he will take his head. The enemy's dragons have no heads. Wouldn't it be easier to break it?"

Xun Yu and Cui Jun looked at each other and laughed.

"General Ziyang is quite good at strategy, but this method is exquisite, but it may not be possible."

"If you fail, the general is afraid that he will be covered with a body tomorrow."

The two of them sang this sentence like a double act, which scared Deng Yuan.

"Military advisor, don't scare me..."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "General Deng, don't panic. Although Yu is not good at martial arts, in terms of the battle situation described by the general, Ji Ling's martial arts should not be inferior to you. It's just that this person was angry with your words today, causing a great chaos in swordsmanship, and he lost to you. After all, this person is a famous general in Yuzhou. After all, he will be able to figure out this section tonight. Therefore, if the general fights again tomorrow, he may not be able to win. Even if he wins, it will be extremely difficult to kill him. At most, he will be injured and then escape."

Deng Yuan looked in deep thought, squinted his eyes and twisted his only beard. Seeing that he looked like this, everyone ignored him.

"Will you go to fight tomorrow?" Gao Shun asked.

Xun Yu nodded: "Although today's first battle has slightly dampened the enemy's heart, the enemy's combat power is still there, so it will not lose its morale. It should continue tomorrow."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, military advisor, just leave it to Zilong."

"Hey, Zilong won't need to take action tomorrow." Xun Yu's words surprised Zhao Yun.

"Who is the military advisor going to let the battle?"

Xun Yu looked at Gao Shun: "Yuzhou must have found out that Luoyang's garrison was General Gao. If General Gao did not go to fight for a day, they would be lucky. They thought that the general might have mediocre ability and had a reputation. They hoped that after destroying the Zilong cavalry, they could attack the city in one fell swoop. As long as General Gao led the Han Wushou to fight and defeat Ji Ling, the enemy's heart would be disintegrated."

Gao Shun said simply: "Here."

Now Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan quit, both of them looked at Xun Yu and Cui Jun.

Cui Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will naturally fight this battle. Tomorrow, the two generals will be bothered to go out of Hulao Pass to fight. The enemy outside the pass will naturally be frightened when they see that they can't attack the city and fight but can't fight."

"The last general understands that when both of their troops have no intention of fighting and are even full of fear, our army will attack with the entire army and will win a great victory. The battle tomorrow will be bound to me."

Deng Yuan patted his chest, confident.

Early the next morning, Gao Shun personally led his troops out of the city. Ji Ling had not participated in the alliance against Dong, and had never seen the power of the Han Wushu outside Hulao Pass. Seeing such a group of infantry fighting, he excitedly rushed over with his cavalry.

However, the final result was that he left more than 2,000 corpses in the formation of the Han Wuzhang, and fled back in shame. Under the obstruction of his own archers and infantry, the Han Wuzhang did not continue to pursue and retreated to Luoyang City.

Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan were also very popular outside Hulao Pass.

Together with Dameng, the two led the cavalry to take the initiative to fight out of the seclusion. Lei Bu and others were still hesitating whether to continue to attack or save their lives. When Ji Ling captured Luoyang and came to pick them up, they were frightened by the shouts of killing from thousands of cavalrymen.

The three of them fought in the Yuzhou military camp for a morning before retreating to the pass to rest. Lei Chu was about to send troops to pursue him, but he was shot by the Frightened Crossbow and was frightened again.

Such a battle lasted for five days.

Today, although there are more than 60,000 soldiers in Yuzhou, everyone is already full of courage and everyone is in danger.

That night, Xun Yu and others gathered together again, and everyone was overjoyed.

"The opportunity is ripe. Our army will remain unmoved tomorrow and defend in the city. Some of the Shenji camps left by General Ye Xiang have been transferred to Hulao Pass today, and the rest of the troops will not be allowed to leave the city tomorrow, and wait for Ji Ling to attack."

Zhao Yun thought: "Well... our army has been counter-defense and attacking for many consecutive days, taking the initiative to attack. The enemy suddenly resumes its gesture tomorrow, regardless of whether there is any suspicion, it will definitely attack. The crossbow on the city wall is ready. In a battle tomorrow, we will be able to completely defeat the enemy."

"Zilong is thinking well. I have ordered the defenders of Mengjin Port to order them to surround them from the flanks after our army defeats Ji Ling. Even if they cannot completely wipe out the enemy, they must capture Ji Ling himself alive."

After Xun Yu's explanation, everyone dispersed.

In the south of Luoyang City, there are continuous hills, dense forests and wild animals. Even the local old hunters want to cross this mountain, it will take at least three or five days if they are well prepared.

Because of this, no defense was set up in the south of Luoyang City in all dynasties, because a large number of troops were going to pass through this forest, which was an impossible task. Even if someone really came through it, he would be exhausted and had no combat power.

However, in such a place where a large number of people are least likely to appear, there was a tent set up in the forest that night.

These tents are not large in number, but according to the terrain, there is no such thing as messy at all, and the distance between them is not large or small. There is a bonfire between every ten tents.

In this tent, there are often patrols of five people shuttle back and forth.

Next to a bonfire, there were a few people baking something, and the fragrance was coming, making people salivate.

One of them pulled off a piece of meat and chewed it a few bites, showing an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"I almost exhausted after rushing the mountain road for eleven days. The person who led the way was really unreliable. I had originally expected that the journey of six days would have been eleven days. Why should the general stop me before and not let the general kill this guy?"

A general with a national face next to him said, "Just an old farmer, why bother to be angry with him? I only then did I know that it is not easy to travel through this forest. It is a blessing for us to get here. Moreover, seeing the current situation of the war between the two sides of the war is exactly what Meng De told him at the beginning. Tomorrow will be the opportunity for us to take action, which can be called God's help."
