Although there were more than 200,000 defenders in Bingzhou, the troops were too scattered. Facing Luoyang's million-strong army, they had no power to parry. Just when Yuan Shu came back for reinforcements, ten more cities were captured. Now Luoyang's army They have entered Taiyuan and are approaching the capital of Taiyuan.
Taiyuan is the political center of the entire Bingzhou, which can be said to be equivalent to the capital. All of Yuan Shu's foundations are here, so Taiyuan also has the largest defense force, with a total of 80,000. It can be said that in the entire Bingzhou, Taiyuan is the most difficult to attack. bones.
But it was only a little difficult to chew. It would take less than a day for Taiyuan to be defeated, so there was no need to worry. As soon as Yuan Shu's returning army returned to his city, he saw that the city gates were tightly closed, and the entire city wall Filled with a chilling air.
"My lord, that is the flag of Luoyang!"
From a distance, you can see the Luoyang military flag erected on the city wall, but the Bingzhou military flag that was originally flying has long disappeared?
It was broken. Although he had a premonition, Yuan Shu's heart suddenly sank. The entire city wall was filled with Luoyang's army. It was very difficult to break the city. But the most important thing for them now was not to capture the city, but to capture it. It is to return to Bingzhou. If the losses here are excessive, even if we take this city, we will not be able to fight the other Luoyang armies.
"Take a detour!" Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said.
Except for this city, Bingzhou and Luoyang are separated by mountains and rivers. The mountains are too dangerous and it would be difficult for the army to cross, so Yuan Shu prepared to build a bridge to cross the water.
Although the river is fast, by building a bridge across it, you can directly point to the hinterland of Bingzhou. Zhao Yun crossed the river to invade Bingzhou.
Building a bridge over a fast-flowing river is not an easy task. The river that serves as a barrier is the Yellow River. In this section of Bingzhou, even the narrowest point is hundreds of meters long. It would cost a lot to build a bridge on this river.
Of course, this is not a problem at all for the Luoyang Army. Even over the Yellow River, it only takes half an hour to build a bridge without losing a single soldier.
Yuan Shu¡¯s army does not have as much background as Lin Yixuan, so naturally it cannot easily build a bridge. Although they chose the narrowest section of the river. But it's still several hundred meters long.
After losing thousands of people, the bridge was finally erected. Yuan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that time is most important now. To save time. He spared no expense. He can bear no matter how big the loss is.
The army quickly surged onto the bridge that was more than ten meters wide, while another bridge was also being erected.
But at this moment, countless floating silver balls suddenly appeared on the water surface. The sudden appearance of these spheres attracted the attention of Yuan Shujun, but before they could react, the spheres exploded, and the bridge they had just erected was instantly blown up. Countless soldiers fell directly into the rushing river and were completely swallowed up.
"What's going on?" Yuan Shu looked ferocious. You must know that he was preparing to get on the bridge just now. If he hadn't been a step too late, I'm afraid he would have been buried under the roaring Yellow River now.
What made him even more angry was that the bridge built at so much cost was destroyed in an instant, and all the work just now was in vain.
These silver balls are naturally traps set by the Luoyang Army. Don't underestimate those balls. They are all thunder and fire bombs. The explosion will not only produce a powerful impact, but also release powerful thunder and lightning.
Although it cannot kill people, the lightning conduction in the water is enough to paralyze people. Once the bridge is destroyed, the soldiers are paralyzed in the water, and the consequences can be imagined.
A large number of soldiers sank to the bottom of the river in an instant.
After the soldier sank, the silver ball slowly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Damn it! Yuan Shu was furious. If he continued like this, he would not be able to enter the hinterland of Bingzhou. In less than a day, most of Bingzhou would be lost, and then he would really become a rootless duckweed.
Lin Yixuan didn't bother to pay attention to Yuan Shu's predicament. After all, he had arranged this in the first place. Everything had been expected, and Yuan Shu's defeat had long been doomed.
Lin Yixuan will naturally no longer care about the prodigal dog, unless something unexpected happens.
"Brother, Bingzhou has been defeated, why are you still frowning?"
Diao Chan stood quietly beside Lin Yixuan and asked softly.
"There is nothing to fear in Bingzhou, but other parties are already watching us. Now that our edge has been revealed, we will face more enemies next."
Lin Yixuan sighed softly.
"So what? We in Luoyang were also the target of public criticism in the past, why can't we still stand firm?"
Diao Chan didn¡¯t care. In her opinion, as long as Lin Yixuan came back, all enemies would have nothing to fear.
"At this moment, at that moment, in the past we only had to defend Luoyang, which was naturally much simpler. From now on we will?The territory will continue to expand, and defense at that time will not be as simple as it is now. "
Lin Yixuan sighed softly. In fact, he said he was worried, but he didn't take it completely to heart. All this was just a preliminary difficulty. When the Luoyang army showed its edge to the world, offense was the best defense.
"I believe that none of this will trouble big brother!"
Diao Chan¡¯s confidence in Lin Yixuan is extremely strong.
¡°I believe it too, it¡¯s just that time waits for no one!¡±
Lin Yixuan chuckled lightly. What he lacks now is time. After all, Luoyang is still surrounded by enemies on all sides, and every time he can move his whole body, the capture of Bingzhou this time was entirely due to Yuan Shu's carelessness and an unexpected sneak attack. , can it be so smooth.
" However, such a move can only be used once. Others will be on guard in the future, so it is naturally impossible to succeed easily. Therefore, Yuan Shu has the best chance to fight here.
It will be difficult step by step after that, but as long as Lin Yixuan improves his overall strength, he can sweep the world.
This is all a matter of time. Although Lin Yixuan is a little anxious, he is not worried.
"Report! Bingzhou was captured by Luoyang, and Yuan Shu and others are now trapped between Bingzhou and Luoyang!"
Cao Cao quickly received the battle report. When he saw that Yuan Shu had lost Bingzhou in less than a day, he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that they had underestimated Luoyang. Bingzhou had been lost in one day. Even with this combat power, Even he can't do it.
Also receiving the news at the same time were the various princes. After receiving the battle report, they had different reactions, but they were all wary of Luoyang. Their original plans to attack Luoyang while it was weak also stopped. , just kidding, Yuan Shu is a living example. If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice. No, Yuan Shu is no longer a matter of losing the rice, but if you fail to steal the chicken, you will be eaten by the chicken.
They naturally did not want to follow in Yuan Shu's footsteps, so they all stayed put and continued to observe the situation in Luoyang.
But everyone knows one thing, even if they lose their dragon veins, Luoyang is not easy to bully. (To be continued)
