Huangfu Jian did not stay in the Luoyang Palace for long. When the Luoyang City Gate opened, he set off with two thousand personal guards and cavalry, heading for Hulao Pass ten miles away.
Right Military Advisor Yan Zhong did not go to Hulao Pass with Huangfu Jian. He stayed in Luoyang and had many things to deal with. There are 60,000 field troops stationed in the outskirts of Luoyang, mainly former Yellow Turban soldiers. They usually work in the field. They do not forget to train during the leisure time and maintain military-style management. Yan Zhong wants to mobilize 30,000 strong soldiers from the 60,000 field soldiers. This is the task assigned by Huangfu Jian.
The Emperor Wu of the Great Wu Kingdom personally visited the battlefield in the Central Plains, which means that the war in the Central Plains is about to end!
In the morning light, two thousand personal guards and cavalry galloped on the official road leading to Hulao Pass, with the sound of hooves thundering and the smoke billowing.
Huangfu Jian is wearing a unicorn battle armor and a bloody cloak, and he is sitting in the chariot of the god of war with a golden sword. With his eyes slightly closed, he was planning the war in the Central Plains. The two beauties, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, were waiting quietly beside Huangfu Jian, one on the left and the other on the right, not daring to disturb Huangfu Jian who was in deep thought. The two women's eyes were all focused on Huangfu Jian, their beautiful eyes were looking forward, and their love was stirring. In the hearts of these two beauties, Huangfu Sword wearing armor will always be the most attractive and exciting, and this has nothing to do with status.
On both sides of the official road, the mountains are yellow and the grass is dry, and the streams are dry. It is a desolate place. Only the winter wheat in the fields exudes vitality.
The old farmers who got up early have come to the fields and started a day of hard work. From time to time, the laughter of old farmers can be heard in the fields, and old songs they have sung for generations can be heard from time to time. The galloping cavalry on the official road did not make them feel the least bit afraid.
There is a battle going on at Hulao Pass not far ahead, and the shouts of killing coming from there can be heard here. But they are not afraid. They believe in the god-like new emperor of Dawu. They believe that Dawu will be able to win this war and keep the enemy out of Hulao Pass. They also believe that the emperor of Dawu will eventually be able to unify the world.
It has to be said that it is a miracle that the Dawu Kingdom has won such popular support after only one month since its founding!
There was no commotion in Luoyang due to the war ahead. It is not like before, when the war breaks out, a large number of refugees drag their children and their meager belongings with them to wander as far as they can.
Even the area closest to Hulao Pass, the battlefield ahead, remained quiet.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????? ?? The young people in the village became ambitious. They took out their homemade sticks, swung them and slashed to their heart's content, imagining themselves becoming generals, galloping across the battlefield and killing enemies heroically.
It didn¡¯t take long before the Huangfu Sword¡¯s carriage arrived at the foot of Hulao Pass. You can smell the thick blood in the air from a distance.
In the west of Hulao Pass, the gate is wide open. Longxiang Camp Chief Xu Huang, Dragon Cavalry General Zhao Yun and other generals are waiting respectfully outside the pass to welcome the arrival of His Majesty Huangfu Jian, the Emperor of the Great Wu Kingdom.
Two thousand personal guards and cavalry stopped, and the God of War chariot slowly came to Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others.
With a soft "creak" sound, Long Jiu and Long Shiba stepped forward and opened the door of the God of War. Huangfu Jian, wearing a unicorn battle armor, a bloody battle robe, and a world-destroying epee hanging from his waist, stepped out of the car majestically.
"See Your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live my emperor!" Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others knelt down to pay homage.
"No courtesy! All generals are safe!" Huangfu Jian looked at his beloved generals such as Xu Huang and Zhao Yun, and a feeling of warmth arose in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The generals thanked them and then stood up.
Huangfu Jian did not get on the war chariot again, but rode a liger and entered Hulao Pass with the generals.
"I heard from Commander Yan that the Longxiang camp suffered heavy casualties?" Huangfu Jian, riding on the liger beast, asked Xu Huang calmly.
"Your Majesty, the general is incompetent. In one month, 20,000 Longxiang camp soldiers were killed and 10,000 injured." Xu Huang replied, with a hint of shame and a trace of sadness on his face. These are the soldiers who have followed him for many years, and they are all his brothers. How can he not be sad to see them die around him one by one.
"It's not your fault! The general was able to hold off Cao's army of 300,000 with 50,000 soldiers and horses for a month, holding back the main force of Cao's army. It created conditions for the Baoxiong Camp and the Ninth Battalion to take over the three states of the Central Plains. The general contributed greatly to this battle. No. There is no need to be sad, general. The battlefield is a place of life and death. Life and death are unpredictable, and the casualties of the soldiers are inevitable." Huangfu Jian slowly comforted him.
"Your Majesty's camp is ready at the end. Will your Majesty return to the camp first?" Xu Huang felt much better after hearing Huangfu Jian's words, and respectfully asked Huangfu Jian for his opinion.
"No, take me to the wounded barracks. I want to see these heroes of the Great Wu Kingdom." Huangfu Jian replied without thinking.
Huangfu Jian was a soldier in his previous life, and he had a persistent respect for soldiers. Although in this society, soldiers have a very low status and are treated more like cannon fodder, not even a warrior. But in his great military country, he will not let the soldiers bleed and then shed tears. He will give the soldiers of the great military country the social status they deserve.
"No!" Xu Huang replied loudly, with an obvious vibrato in his voice, which was caused by excitement. Bleeding to death is the bounden duty of soldiers. Xu Huang has never heard of an emperor who would go to the wounded soldiers camp to visit the wounded soldiers.
"O benevolent Lord! With such a benevolent Lord, how can any soldier refuse to die for the sake of service!" Xu Huang secretly admired in his heart.
Hulao Pass is very large, almost like an ordinary small town. The wounded barracks are located in the west of the pass, far away from the battlefield.
Huangfu Jian and his party could hear the screams of the wounded soldiers in the camp who were enduring pain outside the camp. Walking into the camp gate, a pungent stench hit your face, making you want to vomit, and even Huangfu Jian had to hold back his breath. There are various kinds of rags hanging everywhere in the camp, probably used to bandage the wounds of the wounded, and some doctors are busy among them.
In this era, the medical level was low, and the injured soldiers just plugged some herbal medicine into the wound and then simply bandaged it. Minor injuries are better and may heal on their own, but those with serious injuries can only look at the sky and wait for death. After being injured, the number of soldiers who died due to lack of effective control of Liao was especially higher than those who died in direct battle.
Ten thousand wounded people were placed in three huge tents according to the severity of their injuries. There was sewage flowing everywhere in the tents, the stench was soaring into the sky, the screams of pain, and the low sound of gunshots were all mixed together, it was too horrible to watch. It's still winter, and there are no annoying mosquitoes or flies, otherwise it would be even more terrifying.
Huangfu Jian led everyone through the three wards one by one, saying a few words to the wounded from time to time. Most of these wounded soldiers were the lowest-level warriors. No one would have thought that the person talking to them was the Emperor of the Great Wu Kingdom, their god, otherwise they would be so excited!
"There are too many injured soldiers, lack of medicine, lack of doctors, lack of care!" Outside the tent, Xu Huang said with a frown.
"Guo Jia passed on my order. Order the major business groups in Pegasus Ranch to collect all kinds of medicinal materials for stopping bleeding and injuries and send them to the front line as quickly as possible. Order the local officials to quickly recruit doctors and dispatch them to various war zones. Order Luoyang to order Zhou We will immediately organize a group of young men to send the seriously wounded from Hulao Pass to Luoyang to control the Liao Dynasty" Huangfu Jian kept giving orders.
"Promise!" Guo Jia received the order loudly and wrote down Huangfu Jian's orders one by one.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of these soldiers!" Xu Huang knelt down and said gratefully.
"General, please get up! These wounded are the general's subordinates, and they are my people. My people were injured for my great cause, shouldn't I do something for them?" Huangfu Jian replied lightly.
"However, starting from today, Cao Cao's good days are over. You don't have to endure their arrogance anymore. You can only defend but not attack!" Huangfu Jian looked at the generals behind him and said in a deep voice.
Although Huangfu Sword's voice was not loud, it contained strong murderous intent. He was really angry!
"Great! Long live His Majesty Emperor Wu!" Xu Huang and Zhao Yun shouted at the same time.
As a general, who wants to passively defend like this every day; who wants to endure endless attacks every day. If they didn't dare to disobey Huangfu Jian's orders, they would have fought their way out of the city long ago.
In Zhao Yun¡¯s eyes, no matter whether Cao Cao¡¯s coalition forces were 300,000 or 400,000, he would dare to lead 10,000 dragon cavalry to charge into a battle!
In this world, who is afraid of whom?
"General Zhao Yun, order the dragon riders to gather, follow me to meet Cao Cao for a while!" Looking at the excited generals, Huangfu Jian said lightly.
"General, I will obey your orders!" Zhao Yun replied excitedly.
"General Xu Huang, accompany me to the top of the city to have a look!" Huangfu Jian said to Xu Huang again.
"Promise!" Xu Huang promised loudly.
Huangfu Jian arrived at the head of Hulao Guandong City with the generals cheering and supporting him.
The rising sun has risen in the east, and the huge, majestic and weathered Hulao Pass is bathed in the golden morning light. This majestic pass that has shielded Luoyang City from many storms now looks a bit miserable.
The tall wall is riddled with holes, with obvious cracks appearing in many places and loosening in some places. The walls made of blue and green stones were beaten like this, which shows how crazy Cao Jun's attacks have been these days! The original color of the city can no longer be seen. There are bloodstains and redness everywhere, and there are many broken limbs mixed in the cracks.
The broad moat under the city can no longer be called a moat, nor can it serve the purpose of a moat.
The moat, which was originally five feet wide and three feet deep, has now been filled inMost of them got up. Half of it was filled with soil, and the other half was filled with corpses. The remaining river water also turned dark red, with a large number of corpses floating on the surface of the river, and the stench was overwhelming.
The land under Hulao Pass has turned dark red. Broken knives, broken spears, and broken limbs have piled the footings of the Hulao Pass city wall more than ten feet high
Huangfu Jian stood at the badly damaged city gate tower and looked down at the front.
In the distance, Cao Jun¡¯s camp is overwhelming and stretches for dozens of miles. It looks very scary
