Chapter 294 The turtle in the urn
This is a feast of fire, and this is a harvest banquet of death.
In winter, under the Wei army's military uniform, they all wear all kinds of animal skins. After the animal skin is covered with gunpowder, it encounters an open fire. The result can be imagined.
The fire turned into a praimine in a blink of an eye. In the fire all over the sky, countless Wei soldiers howled and rolled in the fire, and then soon fell into the firelight and became a pile of burnt stinky meat.
The scorching smell drifted away with the wind. After Wei Jun, who was lucky enough not to be burned by the fire, retreated in panic and smelled this smell, and couldn't help vomiting one by one.
It's not that they haven't smelled this smell. In fact, when they burned the Han people alive, they even liked it very much, but this time it's different. Seeing their fellows who had just survived, they were burned into coke in a blink of an eye, this is no longer a matter of whether it tastes bad, but a kind of extreme from the heart Fear.
What kind of beautiful wealth, go to hell! The sheep of the past have become demons.
At this time, Feng Zhen also fell into deep fear and regretted biting his heart like a poisonous snake. Why didn't he listen to Yao Shuode?
He knew that this battle could no longer be fought. While there was still strength and food and fodder in the army, he must retreat as soon as possible, but he was also an experienced veteran. He knew that if he retreated like this, he would definitely attract the full pursuit of the Jin army, so what he had to do now need to do was to stabilize the army first.
The army was ordered to stabilize their positions, and then slowly retreated to the battalion, not giving the Jin army a chance to take advantage of the situation to attack.
At this time, Luoyang City was also silent. The soldiers did not cheer because they burned so many Wei soldiers in World War I. People's hearts are full of flesh, even the enemy.
The tragedy under the city can only be described as hell on earth.
Han soldiers can't be cold-blooded like alien beasts, so no one can laugh.
Looking at the slowly retreating Wei army through the firelight, Lu Qiang believed that as long as Feng Zhen still had a brain, he would definitely retreat.
It's time to counterattack.
Guan is only more than 100 miles away from Luoyang, but at this time, the battle situation in Luoyang has not yet reached Guanguan.
The Pass is not very big. In order not to be attacked by the Jin army, the 10,000 Wei army was divided into two parts, one living in the customs and the other living outside the customs. At the same time, in order to prevent the tragedy of the Jin army from repeating the last time, a group of soldiers were also stationed on the peaks on both sides. Such a defense can be said to be impeccable.
However, the Wei army did not know that Qiguan, as the north gate of Luoyang, had been operated by the Jin army for a long time, and the tunnels were criscrossed, and it was no problem to hide 5,000 or 6,000 people.
Although the pass is not big, the people have escaped. 5,000 Wei troops are stationed in it and have to patrol the city. In this way, they can't take care of many places in the pass, let alone find tunnels.
After noon, the Wei soldiers who were patrolling Guancheng suddenly found that the place where food and grass were stored was on fire.
No one knows how the fire started, but everyone knows that once the food and grass are destroyed, the soldiers and horses will be hungry, so as the alarm sounded, the soldiers in the city ran to the fire and then grabbed all kinds of things to put out the fire.
Wei Jun didn't know that the fire in the customs was a signal to fight back.
Kuixing's special forces were in front of them. After easily destroying the Wei soldiers sentry on the mountain beams, the 20,000 Jin troops lurking in the mountains suddenly rushed to the Wei army camp outside the gate like a tiger.
At the same time, the Jin army hidden in the tunnel also came out of the tunnel and fiercely rushed to the panicked Wei army.
The Wei army guarding Qiguan was only 10,000, and it was stationed scattered. The food and grass caught fire and made them mess up. Now the Jin army is attacking inside and outside. Seeing that the mountains are all over the mountains and outside the city, the Jin army is everywhere. The Wei army only persisted for a moment, and the Wei army is defeated.
The Jin army under the leadership of Kuixing was extremely hateful of the Wei army. The Wei army drove the people to attack the city, and the evil deeds they committed in Hexi County were enough for the Jin army to kill them.
The battle was very fast, and lasted less than two hours. More than 6,000 Wei troops were killed, more than 2,000 surrendered, and more than 2,000 others dispersed. Some fled into the mountains to be savages, and some simply fled to the Fengzhen camp.
At this time, Feng Zhen had led his army to retreat slowly. He still had 100,000 elites in his hand. Strictly speaking, he was not afraid that the Jin army would pursue with all his strength, but now the soldiers had no fighting spirit. No one believed in the beautiful cake he drew. Everyone wanted to leave this frightening place as soon as possible.
It was learned from the scouts that the Jin army was sending people to clean up the battlefield and did not send a single soldier to chase them.
After receiving this news, Feng Zhen couldn't help but breathe. It seems that the Jin army is still insufficient. Otherwise, how can he not make good use of such a good opportunity as Sima Dezong?
However, before he finished his tone, there was a scout to report that 50,000 troops were coming east of Luoyang to see that the flag was the reinforcements of the Jin army.
Feng Zhen knew that this must be the Qinwang army of the Jin Dynasty. It came fast enough! Fortunately, I left in time, otherwise I would be surrounded by them.
The clever General Feng began to be lucky again and finally brought back the army. Up to now, there has been no go wrong.
"Report, General, the big deal is not good, and the Guan was taken back by the Jin army"
"What?" Hearing the news, Feng Zhen was so scared that he almost fell off his horse.
Luoyang is surrounded by Xiongguan, with Qiguan in the north, Hanguguan in the west, and Hulao Pass in the east, and in the south is Luoyang Jiancheng, which has just been illuminated by Fengzhen. In other words, they have been trapped.
"Puff!"
Feng Zhen finally couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, but the strong General Feng quickly erased the blood stains from the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice, "Order the army to kill the barrier quickly, take down this barrier at all costs, and tell the soldiers that if they can't get rid of the barrier, just wait to bury the brothers under Luoyang City!"
At this moment, as a general, Feng Zhen finally showed his calm side.
There are more than 100,000 troops stationed inside and outside the Hangu Pass in the west. If Fengzhen break through from that side, it is no different from finding death. Although there are few garrisons in the east, passing the pass is the real hinterland of the Jin Dynasty. I'm afraid that his army will be more difficult to go there, so he still has the greatest chance to break out of Huguan and escape for his life.
With the order of Feng Zhen, 100,000 Wei troops began to rush to the Pass.
Before running far, he received a report from the waiting list. The gate of Luoyang was wide open, and the 10,000 most elite Panthers, together with 20,000 ordinary cavalry, had begun to pursue them. After 30,000 cavalry, there was an army of 50,000 kings.
Although the Jin army adds up to only 80,000, Feng Zhen is no longer in the mood to fight against the Jin army. Now he only has only one intention, which is to leave this place as soon as possible.
The journey of more than 100 miles was completed in less than half a day, but when Feng Zhen led his army to the Pass, he looked at the catapultry machines on the Pass. Not only Feng Zhen, but all the Wei soldiers were stunned.
It can be imagine that once the Jin army dropped something like the Luoyang garrison when they attacked, they had to turn into coke?
There are no heavy offensive weapons, let alone what the Jin army used. With these light horses, how can we fight this battle in the case of a Xiongguan in front of the pursuers?
In a blink of an eye, the fighting spirit that had just condensed disappeared without a trace.
The Jin army chasing behind did not move quickly. Obviously, it was preserving its physical strength, and the Jin army must have known that the Wei army had no way to escape, so it was not in a hurry to catch up.
What should I do?
On a cold day, Feng Zhen's sweat still came unconsciously.
Obviously, the Jin army that surrounded them now has exceeded 100,000, and the most important thing is that his army has been scared out of the fire under Luoyang City. Although he does not dare to fight with the Jin army, he may not be able to exert five levels of combat power at ten levels.
It can be said that in the face of the powerful Jin army, although the battle has not officially started, they have been defeated.
Later, there was news of chasing soldiers, which soon spread in the Wei army. Coupled with the daunting catapult at the head of the city, fear and confusion filled the Wei army.
In this case, Feng Zhen was even more unable to organize the army to attack the city and ordered the army to retreat ten miles to camp.
Two hours later, the figure of the Jin Dynasty army also appeared from the south. In front of them was 10,000 black panthers, and the crimson military uniforms gathered together, like a rushing flame, which made all the Wei soldiers couldn't help but think of the fire under Luoyang City.
With such a group of soldiers with low morale, Feng Zhen couldn't help sighing. It seemed that he was going to explain here this time.
The soldiers were ordered to be strictly guarded. As soon as he returned to his tent, he joined the army and followed him. He was a confidant who had followed him for many years.
After joining the army, he looked out of the tent sneakily, and then approached Feng Zhen and whispered, "General, this is the end of the matter. You have to make a decision."
Feng Zhen sighed and said, "What else can I decide? Do you think the soldiers still have the courage to attack the city? Besides, the Jin army has kept up. I'm afraid we can't run away."
"My subordinates are brave, may I ask the general, even if we can break through the barrier and escape, how many people can we have left? If you return to Shengle like this, can Tuoba Kui let you go?
Feng Zhen didn't react. He looked at joining the army and said, "What on earth are you trying to say?"
"General, you still have 100,000 troops in your hand. This is our negotiating capital. Why can't we talk to the Jin Dynasty?"
"You want me to surrender?"
Feng Zhen suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at this confidant.
He joined the army with a wry smile and said, "General, do you think we have another way to go now? Our army is an elite iron horse. I believe that any emperor is willing to take us in. Maybe with the talent of a general, he can still take a position in the Jin Dynasty."
Feng Zhen knew that what he said was true, but he never wanted to surrender to the Jin Dynasty, and as far as he knew, none of the aliens who had slaughtered the Han people came to the hands of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Will the emperor of the Jin Dynasty open up to himself?
This is really a difficult question to answer. At the same time, he also knew that Tuoba Kui had let him go once last time. This time, he did not act according to Yao Shuode's plan and went back with the loss of soldiers. Is it strange that Tuoba Kui was willing to let him go again?
After a long silence, he said, "I can't make the decision on this matter alone, beat the drum, and convene all the generals and leaders"...
