Chapter 354
More than 50,000 people from the rear team, blocked by the torrent, quickly collapsed under the rushing of the Iron Cavalry of Canglang Camp, threw away his armor all over the mountains and fields, and ran to the ground. The logistics supplies escorted by the rear team turned into dazzling torches.
"Gan, Gan Ning, what should I do now?" Yuan Xi looked at the scene on the other side of the river, his face pale and uncontrollably. The soldiers under his command also showed shocked expressions.
Gan Ning frowned and murmured: "Grandpa Gan is so careless that he did not send a scout team in the rear! His grandmother of the Zhengbei Army is so sinister! Now there is no way to save them, and all the logistics supplies are destroyed. We must enter Luoyang City as soon as possible!"
"Yes, come, pass the order and the whole army will speed up to Luoyang!" Yuan Xi said hurriedly.
Gan Ning grabbed Yuan Xi and said bluntly: "If you want these hundreds of thousands of people to enter Luoyang smoothly, give me the command!"
Yuan Xi was immediately furious, but Gan Ning stared at his eyes indifferently. The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, and the generals around them looked at them nervously. In fact, they all hoped that the second young master could hand over the command to Gan Ning. After all, although Gan Ning was a little crazy, he was indeed very capable.
After a while, Yuan Xi took a breath and stopped. He took off the sword that Yuan Shao gave him when he went to war and handed it to Gan Ning, and said helplessly: "You must do it yourself!" Seeing this, the generals around him breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing the sword representing the command of the army, Gan Ning's expression was as calm as before. He took the sword casually and said, "I will definitely bring the army back to Luoyang to repay the Prime Minister's grace for knowing each other!" He rarely showed a solemn taste in his tone. Yuan Xi nodded, looking depressed.
Gan Ning held up his sword and sang: "All generals must obey the orders, otherwise the military law will be merciless!" The generals were shocked and held their fists together and said: "Abide by the general's orders!"
Gan Ning immediately issued a military order, and the army immediately followed the order. Seeing that the military orders of Gan Ning were rigorous and the army was coordinated and orderly, Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
...
The black-armored cavalry swept through Yuan Shao's troops, killing Yuan Shao's corpses everywhere and defeated the army. In just about two quarters of an hour, the more than 50,000 troops of Yuan Shao's army were basically wiped out, and almost all the supplies were burned to ashes.
Lu Bu carried the Fang Tian Painted Lithus and immediately looked at the other side on the still turbulent shore. He saw that the main force of Yuan Shao's army was heading north in an unyielding manner.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's quite straightforward!"
"Immediately, Fei Ge sent a letter to the lord. Our army annihilated nearly 60,000 Yuan Shao's army Yuan Xi's troops, and Yuan Xi's troops still had about 240,000 to Luoyang. Please prepare!" Lu Bu ordered the personal soldiers beside him. The personal soldiers agreed and immediately wrote a short piece of rice paper, rolled it up, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, then took out a carrier pigeon from the pigeon cage, tied the bamboo tube to the pigeon's legs, and finally threw the carrier pigeon out.
Looking at the carrier pigeon flying further and further away, he was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly ordered: "Send the order, quickly clean the battlefield, and prepare to cross the river!"
"General, you..." Deputy General Zeng Gang asked in confusion.
Lu Bu smiled and said, "There must be a big battle under Luoyang City. How can I be missing me, Lu Bu?"
"But the lord's order is to attack Yuan Xi's baggage team and monitor the movements of Zhang Xiu's troops!"
Lu Bu hesitated immediately. Zeng Gang continued: "If our army moves without authorization, it will cause unpredictable changes in the battlefield, how can we pass the news to the Lord?"
Lu Bu sighed, raised the whip, and said fiercely: "It's really a cheap one for them!"
...
Luoyang has been surrounded by more than 200,000 Northern Expedition Army. The atmosphere in the city is extremely solemn. Whether it is civilians or gentry, everyone is worried.
There were sparse pedestrians on the street, and teams of soldiers passed through the street from time to time. There were also officers ringing gongs along the road, repeating Yuan Shao's military orders over and over again, ".........
If you dare to collude with the enemy, the whole family will be in charge!"
The tavern is more lively than usual. The people gather here to talk about the current situation, but everyone dares to click until they are not afraid to say too much.
The camps of the Northern Army outside the city stretched for more than ten miles and were rigorous and graceful. From time to time, light cavalry ran around the city wall. At the beginning, whenever the light cavalry ran past under the city wall, Yuan Shao's army on the city wall would become very nervous, but as time went by, Yuan Shao's army gradually got used to it.
Outside the city, Chen Chu and his generals and advisers were discussing matters.
"Brother, it's been several days since the siege!" Zhang Fei couldn't wait.
Chen Chu smiled, "Yide does not need to be impatient! Luoyang City is high and the river is wide, it is not that easy to fight!"
Zhang Fei bulged his eyes and patted his chest and said, "Brother, give me 30,000 infantrymen, I will definitely be able to break Luoyang in one go!" Seeing Zhang Fei's appearance, Zhang Rui behind Chen Chu almost laughed.
"Haha, Yuan Shao's group of rotten fish and crabs are certainly not Yide's opponents, but in order to reduce the casualties of our army and to not over-destroy Luoyang, we must wait!"
"Brother, you always say you have to wait! But what exactly do we have to wait?" Zhang Fei asked in confusion. All the generals also had such questions.
Chen Chu glanced at everyone, then said to Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, tell everyone!" "Yes." Zhou Yu turned his back. Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Zhou Yu.
"Everyone, more than half a year ago, the lord had sent the Shadow Force to sneak into Luoyang. We have to wait for the Shadow Force's message!"
The generals suddenly realized.
At this time, Chen Chu said, "Because the matter was unclear, I didn't tell you about this." Everyone immediately clasped their fists and said, "My wise!" Zhang Rui behind Chen Chu curled her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.
Chen Chu smiled and thought, "It's not a solution to just do this! Yide." "Brother!" Zhang Fei clasped his fists and agreed.
"Tomorrow you will bring people to the city to challenge! Let's have fun with Yuan Shao first!" Chen Chu said with a smile.
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and his excited expression suddenly climbed onto his face, "Brother, just look at my old Zhang!"
Pang De immediately stepped out and asked for his order: "Master, please allow the last general to fight together!" Before he finished speaking, Dian Wei was not willing to leave lonely, and said in his unique rough voice, "Master, I want to go too!" Then the other generals also went out to fight one after another, which was really a 'war spirit'!
Chen Chu glanced at the generals in the hall and said in a very pleased tone: "With you help, why worry about the uncertainty of the world!" Then he smiled boldly: "Tomorrow we will go to Luoyang City together to see if Yuan Shao's army has brave people." Everyone burst into laughter.
After discussing with everyone for a while, the tent was disbanded. Each general returned to his own military camp. Chen Chu also asked Zhou Yu and Chen Gong to go down to rest.
The tent suddenly became quiet, with only three people left, Chen Chu and two heroic and charming female generals Zhang Rui and Sun Ren.
Chen Chu stretched his waist wide, turned his head and smiled at the two women beside him, "Now, it's time to work, sit next to me!"
After a moment of friendship with Zhang Ruiqing, Chen Chu turned to Sun Ren on the other side and said, "Xiangxiang, you should sit down too!"
Sun Ren, who was thinking about his thoughts, was startled and his heart suddenly became chaotic. He thought to himself: What should I do if he wanted to hug me, Sun Ren seemed very panicked, and he didn't have the usual tough spirit of heroes.
Seeing this, Chen Chu was immediately overjoyed. However, as soon as Chen Chu's happiness came to his heart, a very unforgettable pain followed. Chen Chu was so familiar with this feeling.
