Chapter 634 Yongzhou Qingzhi Jiangbei Luotu
Chapter 634: Yongzhou Qingzhi Luotu
Outside Yongzhou City, more than 1,600 Yongzhou soldiers were devoured by tigers, leopards and jackals driven by the He people. Not long ago, they had just tasted the joy of victory and had just exerted a sense of pride. But in a flash, the fangs of the beast tore their bodies and souls to pieces.
This is a huge army of wild beasts, and the number cannot be counted. Xu Qingzhi, who finally retreated to Yongzhou City, entered the door and headed straight to the city wall and looked outside with a thousand-width eyes. At this time, his men and horses were completely submerged and could not even see the flag. In the boiling of the beasts, they could vaguely see the corpses that were run away from time to time, incomplete.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his hand holding Qianliyan was trembling.
At the end of the army of wild beasts, at least two hundred elephants were walking side by side. These elephants were like commanders of the army of wild beasts, and the beasts were driven forward by them. The Heren, who were sitting on the elephants with horns hanging on their bodies, were the commander's brain.
"Decades ago..."
Luo Qiu, the governor of Pingshang Road, standing beside Xu Qingzhi, sighed: "After the Great Sui army defeated the Shang army, they rushed straight in and encountered the beast army controlled by the He people. That was the most memorable time since the Great Sui army headed south, but at least ten thousand soldiers died... Thirty years have passed, and I almost forgot that the He people have such a means."
Xu Qingzhi put down his eyes and shook his head: "But we don't have the troops we had at that time now."
As a general, he naturally knew that history very clearly. At that time, the Southern Sui Army of the Sui Army was full of morale. After defeating the main force of Shang Kingdom on the bank of the Yangtze River, he encountered almost no resistance. In that case, the army of beasts of the He people gave the Sui army a blow.
At least 10,000 elite soldiers were swallowed by wild beasts and suffered heavy losses.
Later, relying on a huge number of arrow formations, the vast fire rain and powerful crossbow chariots disrupted the army of beasts, and pushed the chariots dressed as monsters forward, frightening the beasts backwards. However, in that war, the arrow formations of more than 40,000 were used, including the number of troops invested more than 80,000. A large number of chariots were also built, and it took a full month to completely defeat the Heren.
But now, there are only more than 10,000 archers in Yongzhou City, and their quality cannot be compared with the Southern Expedition Army of the Great Sui Dynasty at that time.
Fortunately, now they were guarding the city and the He people attacked the city. No matter how strong the beast army was, it would be impossible for them to climb to the tall Yongzhou City.
"It's better not to go out of the city to fight again."
Although he didn't know any military affairs, Luo Qiu also knew that in front of a perverted army like the Heren, the Yongzhou soldiers had no chance of winning. Now the total number of Yongzhou soldiers is only more than 20,000, and it is not too difficult to use them to defend the city. But once they leave the city to fight, these 20,000 people are meaningless.
"What I'm worried about is..."
Xu Qingzhi said with some regret: "After a long sleep, the morale of the soldiers will be depressed. This time, this time, he went out of the city to attack at night and returned with a great victory, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was aroused. Unexpectedly, the subsequent large group of people from the Heren came so quickly, and it was too late to retreat again."
Instead of placing the blame for this defeat on the soldiers, he attributed himself.
Although the main reason for this defeat was that the county soldiers were too slow to implement his general order. Because the county soldiers were greedy for the things on the Heren, Xu Qingzhi urged the team several times to gather. But at this time, the soldiers were covered with spoils and the retreat was not fast.
Even so, Xu Qingzhi knew that the mistake was actually on him. The general should have more courage at that time. He would immediately punish soldiers who did not implement military orders, and others would not be able to delay the same. Besides... the soldiers have all died in battle, so how could he bear to push the mistake on the dead?
Moreover, it was a group of dead people who did not even leave their corpses.
"Wait for reinforcements."
Luo Qiu was silent for a while and said, "The Fei Ge came from the north and the Black Flag Army General Fang Jie had already arrived at Nanhui Road with tens of thousands of elite cavalry. It was estimated that he would arrive in Yongzhou in half a month. All he brought were cavalry, which was most suitable for fighting outside. No matter how strong and barbaric the He people outside were, we would not need any headache."
Xu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
He understood Luo Qiu's meaning. Fang Jie brought all cavalry and would definitely not be used to defend the city. Fang Jie did not bring infantry, which means that this person had no intention of defending Yongzhou. But there were tens of thousands of wild beasts outside. What's the use of cavalry even if they were elite?
In front of those fierce beasts, the war horses could only tremble!
"There's something..."
Luo Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I have always wanted to discuss with you, but I don't know how to speak... I was very relieved to hand over the custody of Yongzhou City to you. After all, you have been with me for many years, and I know your abilities very well. After you led the troops, you worked diligently and never made any mistakes. I felt even more at ease..."
"I see."
Xu Qingzhi's face changed slightly, and then he smiled, a little bitter: "After General Fang arrives, I will hand over the command power. Yongzhou is the most important thing, and humble position is not a person who is unreasonable."
Luo Qiu looked happy, patted his shoulder and said, "A gentleman's greatness, what I value most is you. But don't worry, no matter what the final result is, it's yours and yours, you will still be yours, do you understand?"
Xu Qingzhi nodded, and no one saw the blue veins on his clenched fist and the back of his hand were exposed.

Jiangbei Road
Firefox City
The court army has been defeated seven times in a row. The young butcher Luo Xiaotu led the Yong army to attack fiercely day by day. The generals in the court army are unstoppable. This man is cold and rebellious, but he has real talent and knowledge. His martial arts are outstanding. When he arrives on the battlefield, he becomes like a ferocious beast, which makes his enemies frightened.
A while ago, Luo Yao handed over the command of the army to him, and then went to Pangba camp alone. Luo Xiaotu knew what Luo Yao was going to do. Now, only he and the mysterious General Mo in the entire Yong army knew Luo Yao's cultivation level. Just before Luo Yao left the camp, Luo Xiaotu just thought that King Yong was an extreme ninth-grade warrior, invulnerable to swords and guns, but that's all.
He did not expect that King Yong Luo Yao's cultivation had reached a height that he could not see. That day, Luo Yao just used a few methods that surprised him. It was then that time that he realized how naive he thought he was very close to Luo Yao's idea.
On the day when Wan Xingchen had a sword of seven hundred miles, Luo Yao isolated himself, so the people in the camp did not know what was going on, and they thought that the light was a strange phenomenon.
However, precisely because Luo Yao showed his strength, he knew that Luo Yao would really reuse him.
In the past few days, he led his army to continuously put pressure on the court, and forced the court army to the north of Huohu City. The two generals of the court, Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing, who had been in battle for a long time, were at a disadvantage.
Early in the morning, Luo Xiaotu came out of the camp with a hundred personal soldiers and headed directly towards the Sui army camp. He did not inform the other generals, but only with this courage, there were few people. When the other generals knew about it, he had already taken his men through the ruins of Firefox City.
The two armies were about twenty miles apart, and there was a flat land in the north of Firefox City. Because there was a ruin in the middle, the scouts sent by Luo Xiaotu were ambushed by Sui army masters who were ambushed in the ruins of Firefox City, so they didn't have much control over the situation of the Sui army.
The group did not choose to avoid the ruins of Firefox City, but rushed in directly. Luo Xiaotu knew that the ruins must have ambushed many masters, but he didn't care.
Shortly after entering the ruins, a cold arrow shot out from the darkness and headed straight for Luo Xiaotu's face. Luo Xiaotu waited until the arrow was about to reach his front, and then threw it back and shot the ambushing scout to death. The body fell from a broken wall and smashed a piece of dust.
Through the ruins all the way north, Luo Xiaotu killed people with his hands and killed at least twenty Sui army scouts with great martial arts, including a seventh-grade or above cultivator.
After passing through the ruins, Luo Xiaotu accelerated his horse and went straight to a few hundred meters outside the Sui army camp without avoiding or dodging. He then strangled the war horses and raised his eyes to check the arrangement of the Sui army camp.
With a buzzing sound, a giant crossbow shot out from the camp, poking at less than two meters away from Luo Xiaotu. The shattered gravel flew high. The horses of the personal soldiers behind Luo Xiaotu were frightened and jumped up, but Luo Xiaotu didn't even move, and still held his eyes to observe carefully.
This move angered the people in the Sui army's camp. About ten minutes later, a team of about seven or eight hundred cavalry rushed out of the Sui army's camp and headed straight for Luo Xiaotu. The Sui army thought that the hundred people of the Yong army would withdraw immediately, but who expected that Luo Xiaotu slowly put down his eyes and took off his spear from Desheng hook.
"Kill some people before leaving."
He said lightly, then urged the horse to rush forward. His personal soldiers knew the temper of the commander and rushed forward without even persuading him. Facing an enemy that was seven or eight times more than him, they were not afraid at all. What happened later made the people in the Sui army camp frightened and angry.
The Yong army, with a hundred people, followed the silver-armored general, cut the Sui cavalry open with one charge, and then killed the horses again. Only half of the Sui army, which had seven or eight hundred people, was left. The remaining cavalry did not dare to fight, so they turned around and retreated.
Luo Xiaotu hung up the spear, let out a cold snorted from his nose, then raised his eyes and observed again, but he had no plans to withdraw.
Soon, there was another chaos in the Sui army camp. Then a general rushed over with more than a thousand cavalrymen. Luo Xiaotu picked up his spear and met the enemy. He stabbed the Sui general to death with one encounter. The Sui army cavalry fled in panic.
"Let's go"
Luo Xiaotu seemed to be a little satisfied after repelling the Sui army twice. He was about to leave, but another team of about 2,000 people rushed out in the Sui army camp, as if to pursue. Luo Xiaotu cursed a group of flies, drove his horse back and killed for another time, covering all the way, and the Sui army was defeated without exception.
After killing the Sui army for the third time, Luo Xiaotu picked up a long spear from the ground and threw it at the Sui army camp. When he threw it, the long spear flew straight out for 300 meters, and stabbed the Sui army's flagpole accurately with a bang. If the flagpole was not thick and strong enough, the battle flag would have been cut off.
"After the destruction of Shang, the Sui army could no longer find anyone who could fight."
Luo Xiaotu was a little disappointed and turned around and left.
Xu Xiaogong, who had just arrived after hearing the news, looked at the young man's back as he was leaving and couldn't help but curse. He was about to order his subordinates to pursue him, but was stopped by Liu Enjing.
"Don't chase, that man came straight from the ruins of Firefox City, which means that the scouts we arranged in the ruins have been removed. If we lead our troops to chase them out rashly, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be ambushed. It is impossible... At this time, there are already rebels in the ruins of Firefox City."
Xu Xiaogong stomped his feet heavily and was extremely angry.
Outside the city, Luo Xiaotu, who was walking slowly back like a horse, shook his head slightly, as if he was even more disappointed.
"General, why did you guess that the Sui army dare not pursue it again?"
Luo Xiaotu was silent for a while and only answered two words: "Fear of death"
"When my father comes back, I may ask him if he can change his name."
He murmured.
The personal soldier was surprised and asked, "What name do the general want to change?"
"I changed the small characters and changed the name to Luo Tu."
He said.
