Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This was already the third defeat of the Han army. Since Lan Yu regained the command, the morale of the imperial army was invigorated, and they were even more powerful. They defeated the rebels and fled, and they were about to hit Luoyang, the nest of the rebels.  , the whole army is more energetic and confident.  Although there were not many kills on the battlefield, the Han army's disastrous defeat was obvious to all. In today's battle, as soon as the forwards made contact, the Han army fled. The Zhou army took advantage of the situation to pursue them, and finally captured the Han army's camp at noon and captured the armor.  There is countless food and grass.  Lan Yu was wearing an indigo shirt, standing on a hill with a sword in hand, squinting at the soldiers under his command as they were busy counting the results of the battle. He was an old soldier and could find out who was in the Han army from clues.  What happened, a moment later, a junior high school officer came to report: "Commander Qi, the juniors have counted and the stoves of the rebel army can be used by 30,000 people." A group of generals behind Lan Yu exchanged glances with each other.  , each showed a pleased expression. Seven days ago, the Han army's stoves could still be used by 70,000 people. Three days ago, it dropped sharply to 50,000. Looking at it today, there are only 30,000. This shows that the Han army's attrition is serious and extremely large.  Most of them were not lost in combat, but became deserters.  \??As the saying goes, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty personally led the expedition. Soldiers, horses, and supplies from all provinces arrived on the battlefield in the Central Plains one after another. Soldiers from all walks of life launched a thunderous offensive against the Han army with the determination to repay the emperor's favor and avenge the King of Chu. In such a powerful situation,  Under the double military and psychological blow, it is strange that the Han army was undefeated.  But Lan Yu was not dazzled by the victory. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. The victory was too smooth. The army fought consecutive battles and advanced alone. If the enemy deployed pocket formations, it would be troublesome. As for the reason for the reduction of stoves,  , and it cannot be ruled out that the other party used the method of reducing the stove to deliberately confuse the imperial army.  These strategies are all recorded in the military books. They are still young at playing this with Lan Yu.  \??The stove can be mysterious, but there is one thing that cannot be faked. Lan Yu frowned slightly and orderedsuch and suchThe sergeants looked embarrassed, but they still followed the order.  The soldiers of the Zhou army dug up the cesspits in the Han army camp, counted the feces, and calculated the number of Han soldiers based on the volume. Although it was not very accurate, the amount of feces of 30,000 people was definitely different from that of 50,000 people.  The final conclusion is that the Han army is indeed in retreat!  Lan Yu finally felt relieved and ordered the three armies to advance towards Luoyang. He was still standing on the high slope, looking at the mighty army with many emotions. The generals were chatting and laughing behind him, their excitement was palpable, seeing the victory.  With promotion and wealth just around the corner, how can they not be excited?  It's good to be a soldier with Lan Shuai. Although Lan Shuai is very strict and unsmiling, he loves his soldiers like a son, has clear rewards and punishments, and uses his troops like a god. Compared with Li Boxheng and others, he is simply not on the same level. As for eating food and being a soldier  For people in the army, what can make them happier than winning a war? Not only can they be crowned princes and generals, but they can also honor their ancestors. Even when they walk in front of those guys in the imperial army who have their eyes high, they can hold their chests high and not hesitate.  Price drop.  \?The army continued to advance westward, with great momentum along the way, and kept picking up vehicles and baggage flags abandoned by the Han army. The Zhou army officers and soldiers were full of energy, marching forward in high spirits, and quickly arrived at the gate of Luoyang City.  This was the capital of the puppet Han regime in the Central Plains. Recovering Luoyang was a landmark battle for the cause of fighting the rebellion.  The army was arrayed under the city, with flags flying and swords and guns dazzling. People were like walls and guns were like forests. On the city wall, there was silence. Only a few red flags were flying listlessly, and not even a single person could be seen.  "Commander, are they trying to make an empty city?" asked a young general. He was Lan Yu's nephew Lan Xiaolong, one of the most powerful generals in the Western Expeditionary Army.  Lan Yu stroked his beard and smiled slightly, raised his telescope and looked at the city. After looking at it for a long time, he said: "Do the scouts have any news?" "Come back to the commander, there is no enemy ambush within a radius of fifty miles." "Okay,  They are not playing the empty city strategy. Luoyang is simply an empty city! "Xiaolong, you can lead people to the city." Lan Xiaolong could no longer hold back. He took the general's order and led a thousand elite soldiers from his army to attack Luoyang City. He was well-trained.  Su's soldiers held up shields to protect their heads, trotted to the bottom of the city, put up ladders skillfully, drew their bows and aimed at the top of the city wall, ready to cover and shoot at any time.  A group of tough warriors held narrow ladder knives in their mouths and climbed up the ladder like tigers. After the first group of people climbed onto the city, there was no fighting. The city wall remained quiet for a moment.  After that, the soldiers who climbed the city waved flags and shouted: "It's an empty city!" Lan Xiaolong was in high spirits and climbed up himself. Sure enough, Luoyang City was deserted, and there was not even a ghost on the empty wall.  However, defensive materials such as rolling logs and rocks, fire-fighting sandbags, etc. are still there, which shows that the enemy retreated in a hurry.  Lan Xiaolong sent four people toAfter checking and confirming that there were no enemy troops, smoke was raised to tell the army outside the city that it was safe to enter the city. The soldiers of Jianrui Battalion opened the city gate from the inside, and the forward cavalry of the Zhou army roared in, along the wide Luoyang  The streets were galloping, every house was closed, and there was no one on the street. After searching for a long time, there was still no trace of the Han army. After confirming the safety again, Lan Yu led the Chinese army into the city.  \??When we arrived in front of the King of Han¡¯s palace, the blue and gold-plated plaque was still brand new and shiny, but inside the gate was a mess, which showed how hurriedly the Han army fled.  Lan Yu had mixed feelings. After half a year, the war to suppress the rebellion finally came to an end. If I guessed correctly, the Han army had abandoned the Central Plains, retreated to Shaanxi, and defended the Tongguan natural barrier to fight against the trapped beasts, but its strength had been greatly weakened.  Without the energy to compete in the world, eradicating the traitors is just around the corner.  After fighting this battle, it is time to disband and return to the fields, retire and return to his hometown. He must resolutely resign from his position as Minister of the Ministry of War. Lan Yu is a sensible person and knows the principle of great achievements that shock the master, and the bird is hidden behind the bow. At this time, it is time to retire.  good time.  The Zhou army completely occupied Luoyang. Seven days later, the emperor, who received the news of victory, came from Xuzhou, reviewed Lan Yu's troops outside Luoyang City, and awarded them the title of the Ever-Victorious Army.  \?The weather this year is a bit weird. Although it is only April, it is unbelievably hot. The soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army stood in the sun wearing heavy armor, and the armor was scorching. Everyone was sweating, even sitting on the ceremony stage.  The emperor above was also sweating through his dragon robe.  The emperor had a sudden idea to show his sympathy for the soldiers. He called an eunuch to explain a few words. After receiving the order, the eunuch stepped forward and shouted in a high-pitched and unpleasant male duck voice: "The emperor has an order. The weather is hot. The three armies  "Remove armor~~" The soldiers of the three armies were motionless. The eunuch felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and repeated it louder. The soldiers remained motionless. The emperor saw this and was angry in his heart, but on the surface he was still amiable.  : "Lanyu, you are a well-trained soldier, comparable to the Xiliu Camp back then. You are my Zhou Yafu." Lan Yu was sweating profusely, not from heat, but from fear. He quickly kowtowed to apologize. The emperor said calmly: "Your Majesty.  Just give the order for the soldiers to take off their armor. " Lan Yu stepped forward and personally gave the order to take off their armor. There was a sudden roar. The soldiers of the three armies took off their armor in unison. They were carrying a strong army, but the emperor's heart was filled with fear.  The haze is getting deeper and deeper.  The emperor rewarded him with the title of Ever-Victorious Army, personally awarded the battle flag, and rewarded him with a lot of pigs, muttons, wine and meat, and then he went to Luoyang.  The palace of the King of Han had been renovated urgently, and it was just in time for the emperor to stay. The emperor walked in expressionlessly and dismissed all the attendants, leaving only Cao Shaoqin.  "Old Cao, I want to remove Lan Yu's military power. What do you think?" The emperor said straight to the point.  Cao Shaoqin, who knew his master's temper very well, did not show the slightest surprise and analyzed it carefully: "I have also seen what happened today. Lan Yu has a heavy weapon in his hand, and he himself is not far away from his sword, so he directly relieved him of his military power."  Otherwise, it will cause a mutiny. The best way is to send him and his generals to Luoyang and set up a trap to capture them. \" The emperor nodded: "Ye Chang Meng Duo, you can make arrangements for Luoyang's defense."  , the Royal Forest Army replaced the Ever Victorious Army, and a large number of imperial guards were buried near the palace. Lan Yu and a group of trusted generals entered the city according to the order, took off their swords at the entrance of the palace, and filed into the palace under the guidance of the eunuchs.  The emperor did not meet them in person, but sent a eunuch to announce the imperial edict to remove Lan Yu from military power and promote him to the title of Prince Taibao and Jingyang Marquis.  The rest of the generals also had new appointments, but they were all promoted openly and secretly. They were either sent to remote places to serve as guards, or they were sent to serve as civil servants in the Ministry of War.  \?When the generals heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. They had thrown their heads and shed their blood in exchange for this. Not to mention the generals who licked blood with their swords, even ordinary people in the city would be angry if their efforts were not rewarded, and they complained angrily.  Standing and cursing, these generals would never have dared to do this when they were in the capital in the past, but now it is still a period of war, they have won many battles in a row, their tempers have also grown, and they dare to challenge the authority of the imperial edict.  The emperor watched this scene coldly from behind the screen, becoming even more convinced of his idea that Lan Yu could not be kept.  Suddenly, Lan Yu shouted loudly: "Shut up!" The generals were intimidated by his authority and did not dare to say any more. Lan Yu knelt down respectfully and said: "My lord, I have received the order to thank you." The generals had no choice but to do so.  They reluctantly knelt down and thanked them, and then a group of people left the palace angrily. They walked and cursed all the way. They came to the city gate and were about to leave the city. Suddenly, there was a sound of clappers above, and a crowd of muskets were aimed at them.  The officer of the Royal Forest Army said proudly: "The people below have heard this and still haven't put down their weapons and surrender." The generals of the Ever Victorious Army are still angry, how can they tolerate being beaten?Lin Jun bullied them. They all pulled out their sabers and swords and yelled at the top: "You can see clearly with your dog eyes. Grandpas are from the victorious army, not rebels!" The officer sneered:  "It's you who will be taken. If you don't surrender, we will be shot to death!" He raised his hand, and the sound of a hammer was heard on the wall.  The generals were still arguing, and Lan Yu came out and asked in a deep voice: "If you want to take us, there must be an explanation, right?" A man flashed out from behind the officer, it was Cao Shaoqin. He pointed at Lan Yu and shouted: "The emperor is not good to you."  Bo, you dare to have an affair with a hypocrite and lure His Majesty to Luoyang with the intention of killing the emperor. How can you keep such a rebellious minister?" Lan Yuhu's body trembled and he shouted: "It's unfair! I want to see the emperor!" Cao Shaoqin sneered!  Said: "Didn't you say that the remnants of the enemy have been cleared away, but the elite of the bandit army unexpectedly appeared within thirty miles? How do you explain this!" Lan Yu was speechless for a moment, and the Han army really used a hard-to-get strategy to lure the enemy deeper.  He made a pocket array for himself to get into, but now he is speechless and speechless.  This book.  Your message, even just one (*__*), will become the motivation for the author's creation.
