Chapter 124 Luoyang is over
The moon is dark and windy at night, and banners cover the stars.
Above the east wall of Luoyang City Wall, after a tense day, the officers and soldiers were panicked by rumors all day. They finally couldn't stand it at night and fell asleep to find a trace of peace.
Huangfu Song was wearing armor, and his red cloak dragged on the ground. He slowly walked over the wall to check the situation of the soldiers. For several days, he has been sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers. He has never returned home. The yellow scarf outside the city has never been attacked. I don't know if the original plan has only taken effect now. Li has been restless.
And today, the news of the emperor's death came out. He knew that it was not a rumor, because he knew it when the emperor was crazy, and then he went to the palace but it was difficult to enter. At that time, he knew that it was mostly bad luck.
But in this situation, he had to lie to the soldiers that the emperor was still there to stabilize the army.
In the past few days, the undercurrent of Luoyang City is surging, and even a little impetuousness can be felt in the air. Huangfu Song did not dare to be careless. In terms of his feeling of fighting on the battlefield for many years, this is not a good omen. He even guessed that the Yellow Turban Army might be attacking the city in these two days, and he smelled the smell of war.
Looking at these soldiers, Huangfu Song sighed.
The deputy general behind him saw this and asked.
"Why did the general sigh?"
Huang Fu Song took a look at the deputy general and said lightly.
"Don't you know yet? Outside Luoyang City is a yellow scarf army among millions. Although the combat power is insufficient, after all, there are many people and have seen blood, but what about our soldiers? Not to mention the combat power, even many soldiers have not even seen blood, and the number of soldiers is far less than that. This battle is difficult.
"With the leadership of the general, the big man will win!"
The deputy general is very confident. He has always been with Huangfu Song and knows the power of Huangfu Song. He does not believe that he can defeat the Han army commanded by Huangfu Song with a yellow scarf thief with a wooden stick.
"Must win? There are several people in the world who dare to say that they will win under such circumstances. How dare I, Huangfu Song, dare to say such a wild word! Besides, in the past few days, Luoyang has had frequent events, and the people's resentment is boiling and panic, and there has been a message impact, which not only caused panic to the people, but also has a greater impact on the soldiers.
The deputy general doesn't agree. As a general of a hundred battles, he is not afraid, but today when he hears the rumor, his heart is also trembling. At this critical time, if the royal family is unstable, then the Han army will have no leader and morale will inevitably decline.
He has always been afraid that the rumor is true, but the general told him that it was false. It was the yellow scarf that wanted to cause trouble and disturb the army's heart. Now he can't help asking him if he is really unsteady, and he feels a little bad tonight.
"General, is that rumor true?"
Huangfu Song closed his eyes, opened it after a long time, and nodded slightly.
The vice general couldn't believe it. He opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. His Majesty really died! At this time, who is the emperor of the Han Dynasty and who are they living for? No wonder the general wants to stop it. If the soldiers know about it, the army will be in chaos, and Luoyang will be over.
After calming down, the vice general suddenly seemed to remember something and stared at Huangfu Song.
"General, do you know the yellow scarf outside the city?"
Huangfu Song shook his head, held the sharp sword around his waist, and looked at the dark night sky.
"I don't know, but I don't think I know. The general has already ordered it. Even if I know it, it won't be so fast."
The deputy general nodded and said to Huangfu Song.
"General, tonight, the last general is very uneasy and always feels that something has happened."
"Do you feel the same way?"
Huangfu Song looked at the deputy general and wondered.
The deputy general nodded, and Huang Fu Song looked at the Yellow Turban camp again. It seemed that something was really wrong. After a long time, Huang Fu Song could not figure out what was wrong, so he said to the vice general.
"Well, you lead people on duty tonight. Today, the soldiers are tired and may be loose. It's not their fault. You work hard. Although the Yellow Turban Army did not attack the city, there is no big mistake to be careful."
The vice general nodded, and he also knew that he had to be cautious at this time.
After that, Huangfu Song was ready to leave with the deputy general to see what was going on with the soldiers.
As soon as he turned around, the vice general glanced outside the city without comment. In an instant, his pupils became big, as if he saw something unbelievable.
A flying feather arrow dilated in his pupils and rushed straight to him, and the vice general did not have time to hide.
With a weak "plop", the arrow shot through his neck and broke his vitality. The deputy general's hand stagnated in the air and couldn't close his eyes.
Huangfu Song, who was walking in front of him, found something wrong. He felt the strong wind just now and turned his head to look.
The deputy's body fell to the ground, and there was no sound. Huangfu Song looked out of the city again and found that ten thousand arrows rushed straight to the head of the east wall. Outside the wall, there was a dense yellow scarf army, which was attacking.
Huangfu Song, a veteran of Bai Zhan, how could he not know what had happened and roared.
"Come on, beat the drum to meet the enemy!"
The bodyguard behind him was a veteran who followed Huangfu Song. Although there was a sudden change, it was not chaotic at all. It was called "No". After a while, the drums resounded in Luoyang, and the soldiers who were still asleep heard the sound of the drums and dressed in a hurry.
When Huangfu Song saw the panicked soldiers, some of them didn't even wear armor, and some couldn't even find weapons. He couldn't help pulling out the long sword at his waist.
"What's the panic! Look at you. Are you still soldiers? Don't panic.
"Have all the generals arrived?"
"General, we're all here!"
"Okay, now you generals should pay attention to the enemy soldiers, command your soldiers, and calm down. This is the first time for the enemy soldiers to attack, and you must guard them!"
"No!"
"Order, archers suppress, don't let the enemy soldiers approach the wall!"
"No!"
"Are you idiots? What are you looking at here? Why don't you prepare fire oil and wood?"
"No!"
The city wall suddenly became busy, and after the initial panic, it finally began to calm down.
Huangfu Song carried a long sword and looked at the Yellow Turban Army with burning eyes.
At this time, outside the city.
Zhang Jiao looked at the wall and looked at Zhang Yan on the side.
"Little guy, you have good strength. You can shoot to the wall so far away!"
Zhang Yan smiled shyly. He felt that the arrow just now should have hit a person. It was too dark to see it, so he could only scratch his head.
"Thank you for your praise."
Zhang Jiao smiled and paid attention to the little guy in his heart. He was a general, and then ordered.
"Order, the whole army is on fire. It's time to shock the Han army."
The messenger behind him said, "No!"
Then, it didn't take long to see the fire outside Luoyang City, with endless torches on all sides. From the sky, Luoyang City is like a wick in the flame. The yellow scarf army held weapons and raised flags, rushing from Luoyang in all directions.
"Come on, go and order the general of the land and the general of Rengong to take the yellow scarf to attack the city in person, and you must take Luoyang in one fell swoop!"
"No!"
At this time, the little handsome man beside him said doubtfully.
"General Tiangong, isn't it too early to call the Yellow Turban Force to attack at this time?"
"Ha ha, the military book is full of courage, and then it declines. I want to break through Luoyang in one fell swoop. I can't give them a chance to slow down and kill their courage with thunder."
"A wise teacher!"
"Okay, don't say anything wise or not. Go and ask those unarmed soldiers to shout to Luoyang City, 'The Emperor Han is dead, tell them to surrender earlier, otherwise once the city is broken, one will not stay', go!"
"No!"
Zhang Jiao looked at Luoyang surrounded by firelight and smiled charmingly, just like facing a piece of fresh and fat meat to enjoy on the case. He muttered to himself that Luoyang will belong to me in the future, the emperor, yes, me, Zhang Jiao's!
When Zhang Jiao was looking forward to the future, the city wall of Luoyang began to collapse.
When Huangfu Song was still commanding the Han army to resist, the remaining three walls were already in danger. This night was too sudden and unexpected.
"General, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?"
Huangfu Song heard the bad news and hurriedly asked. What he was most afraid of now was that the Yellow Turban Army relied on a large number of troops and attacked on all sides, regardless of the owner. In this case, it would be difficult for the Han army to resist millions of yellow scarves.
But the more he was afraid of something, the more skinny the reality became. The flames on all sides had told Huangfu Song that his guess had come true. It was really an attack on all sides. When Huangfu Song first heard it, his foot was light and he almost fell down.
Looking at the dense yellow scarf army, the banner covering the sky and the sun are like a fire under the firelight. I can't help but hold the wall next to me and look up at the dark sky. There is only one thought in my heart: Luoyang is over!
