Chapter 250 Prepare to break out

Beigong Jing looked grim: "This is more than 100,000 lives!"

Yang Chen looked sad: "Since the Hu people entered the pass, millions of people have died in the Central Plains, but they still care about these hundreds of thousands? You just need to prepare, and you don't have to worry about Luoyang's affairs."

Pei Xian said: "We old bones will stay in Luoyang, hold on until the last moment, and die with the country."

Beigong Jing didn't say anything, but the fist hidden in her sleeve was already clenched. If possible, he really wanted to yell at these two people: "What's the use of your life with your country? What you call dying with your country is to let more than 100,000 people die with you, right?"

But now he was dizzy and exhausted, and had no strength to yell. At this time, he missed Xiang Rui very much. Although that guy was not in tune with the rules, he was a devoted person to doing practical things. He would never shout slogans that seemed very tragic but were useless, so that everyone could wait for him to die. In his hand, he had only a pair of bows and arrows. When he had a companion, he could turn around for thousands of people who fled to fight against more than a hundred Hu people who were good at riding and shooting, relying on his flexibility.

His mind and precise archery techniques dragged the opponent down; after joining the Liangzhou army, he seemed lazy, but improved the armies, won over the soldiers, and boosted morale. These things were done in a state of no sign of water, and they were done beautifully! This time, he and Sima Fan led thousands of people to Jingzhou to recruit soldiers and horses. Without saying a word, he led 800 cavalry and 4,000 Jingzhou soldiers to defeat the entire Nanyang, giving the people in Luoyang a place to take refuge...

If he were in Luoyang, he would definitely not have spoken up and said that he would stay in the city and die with the country, so that those tens of thousands of people in the family would have their destiny.

But now he had no strength to argue with Yang Chen and Pei Xian, so he stood up with some difficulty and said, "Two sirs, I understand what you mean, let's make arrangements."

The two old men stood up together and said solemnly: "Please give everything to the Major General!"

Beigong Jing bowed to them, then turned around and walked out.

It was still drizzling outside. Last year, Henan and Hebei were drought severely last year. Locusts covered the ground and gnawed all the hair on the animals. This year, there was a lot of rain, and the rain was endless. The servant of the Yang family handed over the straw raincoat, but Beigong Jing did not refuse. He took it and put it on, took the Black Hawk Swordsman and left the Yang Mansion, passed through the scarily quiet street again, and returned to the city wall.

Zhang Xiong, Duan Long, Pei Le and others came up to ask him if there was any situation when the Sheep Shi Zhong asked him to go over. Beigong Jing did not answer, but said to Duan Long: "Emperor Duan, go down and summon the Tiger Cavalry, Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and Changshui Army, hurry up and feed the war horses, and then have a good rest."

Duan Long was stunned: "Major General, what you mean is..."

Beigong Jing looked tired: "Just do what I said."

Duan Long, Zhang Xiong, Pei Le and others looked at each other and knew it in their hearts: I am afraid I will break through!

They were not opposed to breaking through, but they were quite happy. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that Luoyang could not be defended anymore. If you continue to stay in Luoyang, it would be a death. Breakthrough as soon as possible was the only choice, but Beigong Jing has always disagreed and wanted to fulfill his responsibilities as a soldier and fight to the last moment to defend the imperial capital. Now he finally let go and planned to break through, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

Duan Long replied and went down immediately to do so.

Zhang Xiong said: "Major General, I'll keep an eye on here. You can go down and take a break first. There will be a bloody battle tomorrow. If you don't rest, you can't fight."

Pei Le said: "Yes, Major General, Zhang Xiong and I are here to stare at me. If there is any situation, please call you. You can rest with confidence."

Beigong Jing really couldn't hold on now, so she said, "Then I'll go down and take a break first. You should be vigilant and strictly prevent the Hu people from attacking at night. You must not relax."

The two generals responded in unison. Beigong Jing explained some important things, such as focusing on which section of the city wall and which city gate. When both of them remembered it, they dragged their extremely tired bodies down the city wall.

However, he didn't go far. He found a dilapidated house nearby, which was barely able to shelter from the rain, and walked in. Two Black Hawk swordsmen were alerted. He held his long sword and closed his eyes against the wall. After a while, he fell asleep.

He is really too tired!

Duan Long did not rest. He took the token given by Beigong Jing and secretly summoned the three cavalry of Liangzhou, Tiger Cavalry and Changshui, to prepare for tomorrow's breakthrough.

After fighting for so long, Beigong Jing's troops were also seriously damaged. Only 500 tiger cavalry were left, and 500 Liangzhou iron cavalry were lost. However, the Changshui Army, after the reception of the Shooter in Xingyang, returned to Luoyang, had been playing the role of heavy infantry due to the serious loss of war horses. They defended a section of the city wall and fought with the Hu people in close combat, but the losses were not large. These iron-capable horses could be carried dozens of kilograms of iron armor and rode war horses in the enemy formation, and repeatedly rushed to fight were also fierce. Attacking the city wall they were defending was simply seeking death. After a while, the Hu people were afraid of them. When attacking the attack, they deliberately or unintentionally avoided these cruel guys and did not touch their bad habits.

There are still one thousand people in the Changshui Army.

However, the losses of war horses were really serious, with only about 500 horses left. What’s more serious is the losses of horse armor. Due to the large number of injuries and even deaths of war horses and horses, these heavy horse armors could only be given up. Therefore, when they returned from Xingyang to Luoyang, there were only less than four hundred pairs of horse armor left in the entire Changshui Army.

For a cavalryman, such a loss is simply fatal.

Duan Long helped them solve the problem of horses. During this period, the tiger cavalry frequently went out of the city to rush, and each time they could snatch a batch of war horses from the Hu people. The accumulation of small amounts was enough to make up for the war horses that the Changshui Army lacked. But there was no way to do anything about horse armor. There were not many such heavy and expensive things in the Hu people, and it was really difficult to seize them.

Even so, the Changshui Army was very happy. They were cavalrymen, and the cavalry should ride war horses across the battlefield. They acted as infantry every day and stayed in the city wall corridor with a spear and stabbed people with a spear? They each received a war horse and horse materials, happily fed the horse, and hugged the horse's neck and chatted with the horse...

The war horses were so annoyed that they wanted to kick them away.

Although the Yueqi was crippled, there were nearly a thousand people. They also came to meet with war horses.

There were about two thousand people shooting. They used the dark cover to secretly evacuate the city walls, went to the armory to replace the damaged crossbows, replaced them with new ones, and each received two bags of arrows to prepare for tomorrow's bloody battle.

Yang Jun and Xiao Yu met. This was the first time this couple met for more than half a month. Both of them could hardly believe that the unkempt and blood-filled guy in front of them was the handsome and handsome young man in his impression.

No matter how he was looking, the two of them sat together. Yang Jun took out a bag of strong wine, took a few sips and handed it to Xiao Yu, and said, "Let's have a few sips to warm up your body."

Xiao Yu smelled it and the aroma of the wine was quite strong, which was very different from the water and wine I drank in the past. He asked, "Where did it come from?"

Yang Jun said: "I asked Beigong Jing for what he wanted. His army had a lot of strong liquor to clean the wounds. I asked a little and then mixed a lot of water and wine into it... It was not as satisfying as drinking the strong liquor directly, but the taste was really good."

Xiao Yu took a sip and it tasted really good. After taking a sip, he felt the blood in his body heat up.

He took another big sip and looked at the drizzle sky, his voice hoarse: "You mean you can break through the sky, can you succeed?"

Yang Jun said: "It depends on whether God is willing to help. If God is willing to help, we may be able to escape from this place of death; if he is unwilling to help, it will be over and no one will survive."

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly: "Decades ago, our brigade's partial division could traverse Liaodong, killing Hu people like slaughtering pig dogs. Unexpectedly, after only a few decades, even the country could not be saved!"

Yang Jun said: "It's just bad luck, what's there to say?"

Xiao Yu murmured to himself: "Is it just a bad luck?"

Yang Jun did not answer, and he could not answer this question.

Both of them stopped talking and stared at the dark sky in a daze.

It's so dark that people can't see a little bit of light, and they can't feel the passage of time, as if this boundless darkness has ruled the world, and it will always be shrouded in this land until the end of the world.

The rain continued until the fourth update.

Luoyang is shrouded in boundless darkness, but there is skylight in the new city. Although it is not strong, it is barely enough to see the road clearly.

At the fourth update, the gate of the new city opened, and 2,300 cavalrymen poured out and walked towards Luoyang, which was more than 30 miles away.

The faint skylight helped a lot. The Jin cavalry could see the road clearly without turbulence, so it was naturally more convenient when marching. In order to avoid the sound of horse hooves exposing the target, Beigong Chun asked someone to wrap all the hooves of the war horses with cloth and wear cages. Each cavalry bit a branch in his mouth, so that the war horses would neigh when marching, or some conspicuous bags could not withstand the loneliness of marching at night and chat with their companions, exposing the target.

The army did not move along the flat Yishui Valley. After leaving the new city, it entered the Wan'an Mountains and used the dense forest as a cover to quietly move along the forest path. This was also impossible, and Liu Cong did not forget it.

The night was attacked by Beigong Chun at Jinyang Gate two years ago, killing corpses everywhere. In his eyes, the Liangzhou army was all crazy, and a thousand people dared to attack tens of thousands of troops and rush to death. There were more than a thousand Liangzhou army in Xincheng. Although he had not yet taken action to deal with the other party, he would not be unprepared. Moving along the Yishui River Valley, it would be easy to encounter the scouts of the Huns, thus exposing his target. Beigong Chun would not do such a loss.

To be cautious, it is better to drill into the valley.
