Chapter 1247 Blood spilled across the north and south
Asking for reinforcements from the imperial court only adds one more chance of victory to the war.
But this battle mainly depends on Shen Yi's existing strength.
On this day, Shen Yi was in the left army camp and quickly distributed documents one by one through the inner guards and the Diji News Department.
And he himself, after staying in the Left Route Army for two or three days, left for the Right Route Army to inspect the battle situation.
There is no way.
After the last conversation with Ling Su, he also knew that many people in the Right Army felt that he was partial. Now that the Left Army had arrived, the Right Army must also go there.
In fact, speaking in good conscience, Shen Yi did not feel that he was partial to anything.
Because from the beginning, Ling Su's status under Shen Yi was relatively detached. During the anti-Japanese army period, Ling Su was the chief general of the entire anti-Japanese army, and Shen Yi also controlled the anti-Japanese army through him.
Later, Shen Yi's subordinates were divided into three, but Mr. Shen was too embarrassed to point fingers at Ling Su and Ling Su's subordinates. In order to show his respect for Ling Su, except for formulating the general strategy, he basically left everything else to Ling Su. autonomy.
However, this more or less led to the fact that he and the Right Army were indeed a bit "not close".
Now that we have discovered this problem, we will naturally treat everyone equally in the future.
While Shen Yi himself was busy on the front line, his two documents had already arrived at the gate of Luoyang City under the rapid transportation of the Di newspaper department.
At this time, Xue Wei and Pei Jun had gathered at the foot of Luoyang City to complete the siege of Luoyang.
After Xue Wei received the document from Shen Yi, he ran towards Pei Jun's camp without saying a word. Before he entered the camp, he saw Pei Jun coming from a distance on horseback. They both got off their horses at the same time. Hold your fists from a distance.
"General Xue!"
"General Pei."
After cupping his fists and saluting, Pei Jun looked at Xue Wei with a serious expression: "General Xue should also have received the documents from the Marquis?"
Xue Wei took a deep breath: "It is precisely because of this that I am going to see the general."
Pei Jun's camp is closer here. Pei Jun pulled Xue Wei into his Chinese army tent. After sitting down, the general of the West Route Army slowly exhaled a breath and said: "Within a month and a half, After the war in Henan, we will withdraw from Henan and go north to support the Huai'an army."
He looked at Xue Wei and said with a wry smile: "Is this the order that General Xue received?"
Xue Wei nodded silently at first, and then said: "General, my headquarters is the Huai'an Army. In one and a half months, regardless of whether the war in Henan is over or not, I will go directly north and return to my headquarters."
He said solemnly: "But the Henan battlefield is the rear area. We cannot leave the Marquis with worries. Even if the Henan battlefield cannot be completely ended, at least Luoyang Prefecture and other prefectural cities must be taken down before we can go north to fight against the Qi army."
Pei Jun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Some are too difficult."
"It is not easy to defeat Luoyang City now. We have sent people to investigate. Although most of the defenders in Luoyang City are still Han Chinese, many of them were slaves of Zhenren Zhu Li. They know very well. Once Luoyang returns, they will definitely not get any favors."
"The resistance was very determined."
Xue Wei looked solemn and said: "General, how about our army and the general's army take turns attacking Luoyang. Each army will attack Luoyang for one day and rotate the next day?"
Pei Jun looked at Xue Wei and asked, "What attack method?"
"Of course it was a forceful attack."
Xue Wei said without hesitation: "At this time, we cannot hold back the Hou Ye front line. The cleaner and more thorough the fight is here in Henan, the more we can concentrate on facing the enemy when we go north."
Pei Jun just thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I will follow General Xue."
"but…"
Pei Jun said: "If the casualties are too heavy, we still have to consider it as appropriate. We cannot let the war in the north disrupt the Henan side. Otherwise, not only will the Henan battlefield not be able to achieve results, but both sides may not be able to benefit."
Xue Wei stood up, cupped his fists and said, "It's settled then. Tomorrow our troops will begin to attack Luoyang."
Pei Jun stood up and returned the courtesy.
"General Xue pays careful attention."
Xue Wei lowered his head slightly and said yes, then turned around and left Pei Jun's Chinese army tent, mounted his horse, and galloped back to the camp.
Pei Jun watched his back riding away with some envy in his eyes.
There are very few such loyal generals under his command.
"That Lord Shen..."
He muttered in a low voice: "How can a scholar be able to train so many outstanding generals?"
"It's really weird."
…
The next day, the Vanguard Army's Wan Zhong Division began a fierce attack on Luoyang City.
Hundreds of cannons roared in unison. After the artillery barrage, the soldiers of the vanguard army, under the cover of the artillery, began to charge very familiarly.
But this time, it's different from before.
Xue Wei, who had not been on the battlefield in person for a long time due to injuries, appeared on the battlefield in person with a spear in hand. He was wearing iron armor, looking at the Luoyang City not far away, and roared with the loudest voice.
"Brothers, let these Northern Qi barbarians see the invincible Huai'an Army!"
"Invincible!"
"Invincible!"
Thousands of soldiers who followed the charge rushed forward with their blood boiling and roaring.
It is very easy to establish an army. You may be able to support an army with just a piece of paper and some spare money.
But for an army to form a military soul, it needs time to carve it and water it with blood!
More importantly, it is the glow of victory!
Today's Huai'an Army has formed its own military soul through consecutive battles and victories over several years!
As the banner of the Huai'an Army fluttered across the Central Plains, the officers and soldiers of the Huai'an Army roared in unison.
"Make a great contribution today!"
Countless soldiers rushed forward to kill them.
Xue Wei took a deep breath and was about to rush forward when he was grabbed by Wan Zhong on the side.
"General, how can you go to the battlefield again!"
Xue Wei looked back at Wan Zhong and frowned: "Why can't I go to the battle?"
Wan Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "You still thought you were the Qianhu from before!"
His face was solemn.
"The lives of tens of thousands of people in the vanguard army are under your command in a single thought! Your authority now is much greater than when Duke Shen first established the Huai'an Army. It is now during the war. , where else can you go and risk yourself!"
Xue Wei shook his arms, broke away from Wan Zhong's pull, and said nonchalantly: "This is to rush into the battle, not to die. Since I was injured, I have never been on the battlefield again. No one can stop me now. !”
He patted Wanzhong's shoulder hard, causing the latter to grimace in pain, and then gave Wanzhong a toothy smile: "Besides, even if I die, won't I still have you!"
After saying this, Xue Wei no longer hesitated and strode towards the battlefield.
Looking at Xue Wei who had already rushed towards the city wall, Wan Zhong was silent for a while, shook his head slightly and sighed.
He knew in his heart that after a few years, the personality of Xue Wei today was completely different from that of Xue Mangzi back then. He had already calmed down and became a very qualified general.
The reason why he is so impulsive now is not because he is addicted to "rushing into battle", but because after Shen Yi's documents arrived, he felt anxious.
He wanted to end the Henan battlefield as soon as possible and return to the Huai'an army.
In order to achieve this purpose.
He once again joined the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Wan Zhong glanced at the north with some emotion, then took a deep breath, turned around and roared: "Don't stop the artillery, avoid the charging area, and continue bombarding the city head!"
"Follow the catapult!"
"Battery ram ready!"
"The messenger comes forward and talks to these sons of bitches from Qi!"
Wan Zhong's eyes were red and murderous.
"Tell them, if they don't surrender, when the grandfathers kill Hongyan and want to surrender, there will be no place to surrender!!"
…………
At the same time, Daming Mansion in the north.
In the right army camp, Shen Yi squatted in front of a general's bed. The general's left arm was bandaged and he was covered in blood. He was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Lord Shen looked at him, his face as dark as water.
"How did Zhang Meng get injured like this?"
Ling Su stood behind Shen Yi with the same ugly expression.
"There was a Northern Qi spy in the army, who led him into an ambush."
