Chapter Thirty-Six: A Surprise Attack


Shan Xiongxin could not escape the siege of the Xiaoguo cavalry even though he was fighting from left to right.

The guards around him were killed one after another by the swords and guns of the Sui army, and fewer and fewer of them were killed.

Lai Hu'er originally wanted to capture him, so he secretly ordered the knights to try not to kill Shan Xiongxin.

But now it seems that if this stalemate continues, more lives of Xiaoguo Army officers will be sacrificed.

Lai Hu'er yelled: "Shan Xiongxin, I think you are a hero, so I will show mercy.

If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame my men for being ruthless."

Shan Xiongxin paid no attention to his words, and only focused on fighting with the spear in his hand.

More urgent.

Lai Huer had no choice but to say: "My sons, kill this thief quickly."

After he said that, he waved the long-handled copper hammer in his hand and spurred his horse forward to continue fighting Shan Xiongxin.

After hearing what Lai Hu'er said, those Xiaoguo cavalry also let go of their hands and feet, and all their weapons came to greet Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin shouted loudly and blocked the attacks of several Xiaoguo cavalry with his pole, but he did not notice the golden melon coming to protect his children and slapped him in the back.

This Shan Xiongxin was wearing a pair of Mingguang armor made of fine steel, which could be said to be invulnerable, but Lai Huer's "golden melon" made of pure copper weighed a hundred kilograms.

It hit Shan Xiongxin's back with a bang, and the Mingguang armor He was immediately crushed, and several of Shan Xiongxin's ribs were broken.

After shaking for a few times, he barely managed to maintain his balance, and he spit out a mouthful of old blood before he could.

The pumpkin that came to protect the child hit Shan Xiongxin on the head again, smashing him to pieces.

The most brave general in Wagang's army died.

The Sui army immediately launched a comprehensive pursuit of the defeated Wagang Army.

The corpses of Wagang Army soldiers were everywhere within ten miles northeast of Luocang.

Dongdu sent a large number of Sui soldiers armed with crossbows, swords and guns to escort the prisoners of the Wagang Army in groups, tied in a string with ropes, to Dongdu.

This battle ended with the complete annihilation of the Wagang Army.

To the south of Luokou Cang, Luo Shixin, Duan Da, and the 50,000-strong army commanded by Shen Guang were still facing off.

Both sides were cautious at first, and launched several small-scale probing attacks one after another.

They clashed several times, with each winning or losing.

But in the following ten days, more and more Wagang troops came from the direction of Luokou and Xingyang for reinforcements.

The total number of troops and friendly forces under Luo Shixin's direct command reached more than 100,000, and there were a number of famous generals such as Yang Defang, Pei Yuanqing, Pei Renji, Wei Zheng, etc. who came to help, so there was no problem in commanding the troops.

At this time, Luo Shixin became bolder and let go of his hands and feet to continuously launch an offensive against the Sui army.

The number of patrol teams dispatched every day to detect horses and cavalry has increased several times.

When encountering the Sui army's scouts, they will definitely rely on their numerical advantage to encircle and suppress them.

All the horse scouts of the Xin Sui Army were equipped with extremely well-equipped horses, and the soldiers were also veterans selected from a thousand miles, and everyone was equipped with binoculars.

It was difficult for the Wagang army to capture these Sui army's detective horses.

The Sui army began to become more conservative, and its daily pattern was mainly to stick to the fortress.

Unless there is enough intelligence to prove that one's own side has the upper hand, or the other side intends to build fortifications to block the camp, they will occasionally go out to fight.

But now both sides believe that the decisive moment has not yet come.

The Sui army naturally had to wait for the reinforcements to protect the children.

Luo Shixin also needed a total of 200,000 troops to surround and annihilate the 50,000 Sui troops in front of him.

In the early autumn of Daye 14, the weather gradually became cooler.

Another Wagang Army was transferred to the front line of Luokou by Li Mi.

There were already 220,000 Wagang troops gathered here, accounting for more than half of the main force of the Wagang Army.

The large camps of the Wagang Army were lined up one after another along the vertical direction of Luoshui.

The camps in the northwest are close to the bank of the Yellow River, and the camps in the southeast are on the bank of Luoshui River, with a width of more than 20 miles from north to south.

Behind the main camp of the Sui Army, the camps of the Wagang Army were also built on the other side of the Luoshui River, forming a contrast.

The encirclement of the Sui army.

And these camps will be moved forward every few days to tighten the encirclement of the Sui army.

During the great battle of the Sui army, Shen Guang said to General Zuo Xiaowei and Guanglu doctor Duan Da: "Doctor Duan, if this situation continues, we will not make any big moves.

In two days, we will not even have scouts to explore the horses.

We can't get out of the camp.

In a few weeks, the Wagang bandits will be surrounding the camp, so you'd better give the order quickly and let me go out and fight with the Wagang bandits.

I'll destroy at least one or two of their camps.

Temporarily breaking their encirclement."

Duan Da smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said: "Don't worry, your Majesty has already told me before I sent out troops that when the opponent gathers heavy troops, there is no need to fight with them without reinforcements.

Instead, we must avoid their sharp edges and hold on to the fortress.

Come out.

We have enough supplies for the month now in the camp.

We don’t have to rush.”

Shen Guang frowned, rubbed his head and said in confusion: "But if there are reinforcements, they must come to protect the children, because only his army can be mobilized.

And he won two games in a row recently, so he has to It’s long overdue.”

Duan Da shook his head and said: "I am also very confused about this, but since His Majesty is personally in charge of Dongdu to make arrangements, there is certainly a reason for this.

We just have to wait patiently."

Shen Guang nodded in relief.

More than a hundred miles away in Ruyang, southwest of Luoyang, the eastern capital, in the Rushui River.

A large number of civilian laborers recruited temporarily are busy.

Under the command of the Viking sailors, they moved the Viking ships docked in Ruyang ashore one after another and placed them on a special ox cart.

The body of the oxcart was more than twenty meters long, and each cart had more than ten pairs of wheels.

It was pulled by eight old oxen to Yishui, fifty miles away.

If you walk the fifty miles, you can reach it in one day.

But the people brought the warships and drove the old ox, but the speed was not that fast.

It takes two and a half days to reach Yishui.

After unloading these warships in Yishui, they were driven by the following Viking sailors and followed the Yishui directly into Luoshui, and then entered Luoyang City.

After ten days of operation, the Luo River waterway in Luoyang City was filled with Viking warships of all sizes.

When the sun was about to set that day, Lai Huer boarded these ships with tens of thousands of troops, sailed down the river, and headed straight for Luokou.

Lai Hu'er stood at the bow of the ship full of energy.

He had been holding back his nerves these days.

He was counting his fingers day by day, and he finally arrived today.

When the fleet sailed out of Dongdu, it was completely dark.

When they left the water gate of Luoyang, Lai Huer once again emphasized military discipline at the top of his voice.

No lights are allowed and no loud words are allowed.

In this way, hundreds of dark Viking ships moved northeast on the Luoshui River in the darkness of night.

When passing by the confrontation between the two armies dozens of miles south of Luokou City, the fleet walked close to the south bank of Luoshui.

This was to prevent the Wagang army on the north bank from discovering it.

When the fleet passed through this area safely, Lai Huer breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, the scouts of the Wagang Army will return to the camp.

However, many open posts and hidden sentries were left at various important locations to continue to be alert to the enemy's movements.

But they ignored the Luoshui waterway
