witch chaotic country

Chapter 601
Arriving at Yanzhi, he was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the cabin, muttering, "No...we must not let the navy fight against the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is a dead end! In any case, the general must keep this army, otherwise what will happen next? When the talk resumes! That’s right! If the green hills remain, you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood!”

"Come on!" Dao Yanzhi stopped his circling footsteps and shouted loudly: "Send the order, the whole army will immediately withdraw from Luoyang and go south!"

The soldiers who came to report thought they had heard wrong, and the whole army retreated?

Although the army of the Northern Expedition was scattered and some were stationed in various towns, most of the main force of the Huaiyin navy was in Luoyang. In addition to the original defenders and Qingqi near Luoyang, the total number was nearly [-].

With [-] people guarding the city, are they afraid of [-] Wei troops?Or even flee without a fight? !Is the coach confused?
The soldier who reported the letter asked tentatively: "General, the ice layer on the river has not been cut, and the building and boats cannot move. How will the army withdraw from Luoyang?"

Dao Yanzhi seemed to be aware of the problem at this time, and immediately started to circle around again. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat on foot! As much food and grass can be carried, and the rest will be burned! Not a single grain of rice will be left Wei thief!"

The soldiers were completely dumbfounded at this time, "Burn...? Burn the buildings and boats too?"

These ships are all newly built ships!Not to mention the money spent, this is a fleet that took five years to build, and it didn't fight a single battle, so it was all burned? !

"What are you doing in a daze!" Dao Yanzhi said angrily, "If you don't burn it, will it be left to the Wei thief for nothing?!"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was something wrong with the words, but there was obviously no time for him to figure it out. Under Yan Zhi's roar, he was so frightened that he trembled and ran out of the cabin to deliver the order.

At this time, Yanzhi's confidant military adviser came over, "General, retreat without a fight. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain back to Jiankang."

Without even thinking about it, Yanzhi went to the wall, reached out and pulled out the saber hanging on the wall, passed it to his confidant, and said, "Come on, chop off the arm of General Ben! No, the arm is not enough...you hit me on the back Cut up!"

The confidant took the knife and was stunned for a moment, then realized, "The general wants to..."

Dao Yanzhi snorted coldly, "Boy Ying, he has connections with foreign countries and intends to harm this general! This general was deceived by him, seriously injured by him, and unable to meet the enemy. The army has no commander, so we can only retreat! This matter is the emperor's pursuit. I won’t blame this general either!”

The confidant's hands trembled, "It's just that, I'm afraid that Ying's dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and then bite the general back!"

"Bite back?" Dao Yanzhi said disdainfully: "The emperor is surrounded by our people, and the words and deeds are all in the hands of this general. May I ask who would go to the emperor to speak for a group of remnants of the Qin Dynasty? How could the emperor believe it? As early as When that brat Ying resigned, he had already lost the emperor's trust in him."

Only then did his confidants become completely convinced, until Yanzhi was convinced that the scapegoat could be passed on to Ying Shi, so he dared to avoid the battle regardless of the consequences.

Seeing his confidant stunned, Dao Yanzhi couldn't help urging: "What are you doing standing there stupidly! Hurry up and chop! If you delay any longer, the Wei army will come in!"

His confidant nodded hurriedly, "Okay!" He changed his posture a few times before finally finding a direction to swing the knife, and directed at Dao Yanzhidao who had his back turned to him: "General, hold back! The subordinates are coming down!"

As he spoke, he slashed down with the knife, and immediately a large bloody wound was cut on Yanzhi's back.It looked extremely shocking, but the actual wound was not deep.

Rao was well prepared, until Yanzhi still screamed in pain!After the confidant sprinkled the best wound medicine on it, he quickly bandaged it to Yanzhi. Then Yanzhi breathed heavily and ordered: "Let the Luoyang defenders resist the Wei army's attack on the city, so that the army will have enough time to retreat."

This means sacrificing the defenders of Luoyang... Although the confidant felt a little bit unbearable, he knew that Yanzhi was a completely self-sacrificing character. At this time, no one dared to object, and could only follow his orders.

The Luoyang garrison received an order to guard the city gate.Although the city wall of Luoyang is indeed a bit dilapidated, even if it is defended to death, it will not last long.But thinking that there is still a navy army sitting behind them, the Luoyang defenders are not very panicked.

When the ferocious Northern Wei army launched a large-scale attack, although the numbers were far from superior and there were not many strongholds on the city wall to defend, the Luoyang defenders still followed the instructions and stayed in place.

The general defending the army didn't know how Yanzhi wanted to arrange it. He could only guess that Yanzhi planned to lead the army to attack from behind. After all, this seems to be the most reasonable way of fighting so far.

According to the estimation of the general of the defending army, an hour is probably enough for the army to go around.However, he waited and waited, and the two hours were almost over, and there was still no trace of his own army behind the Wei army.

Seeing that the Wei army's offensive was stronger than the next, and the defenders on the city wall were killed and wounded more and more, the general of the defenders panicked at this time, but even so, he still didn't realize that his troops had been treated as abandoned sons.

After all, who would have thought that the commander-in-chief of an army would not dare to fight a battle of [-] against [-]?

It wasn't until someone noticed thick smoke rising from the direction of the army's water village that the defenders of Luoyang City realized that the reinforcements they were waiting for might be close at hand, but they wouldn't come.

A fire broke out in the rear, which immediately caused the army's morale to shake, and the defenders immediately lost the courage to kill the enemy.The defending general still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the rear was just a moment of chaos.When it is resolved, the army will still come to help them defend the city, even if it is not around the back.

But when the soldiers he sent to ask for instructions to Yanzhi not long ago returned, the general who defended the city knew that the reinforcements he was waiting for were nothing but an illusion.

"The entire water fortress is empty! Even the buildings and supplies that cannot be taken away have been burned! General, they are using us as bait! They will not leave us any way to survive! General! Let's surrender! "

"Surrender?" The general of the defending army was in a daze for a moment, but the knife in his hand was tightly gripped, "I can't surrender, my people are still in Jiankang, if I surrender, they will be safe and sound? To Yanzhi, a thief, he I’m afraid that if I’ve figured this out a long time ago, when I die in battle, no one will report his crime of running away!”

"General, is it possible that we really want to do what he wished and die here for nothing?!"

The general of the defending army gritted his teeth and pushed his lieutenant, "Go! Take [-] light cavalry and run for your life! I will stop Wei Jun for you! Just remember, you must never let me die in vain. Report the crimes of Yanzhi to the imperial court, and avenge us!"

The general of the defending army pulled off his waist card and handed it to the deputy general, "Use this as a token, go to Yuqian, and tell all the ministers what Yanzhi has done, and give me justice!"

The deputy general wanted to shirk, but seeing the resolute attitude of the defending general, he had no choice but to be ruthless and punched the defending general, "General! Go on the road with peace of mind! Your revenge, the last general will definitely avenge you!"

　It's not that I wrote Yanzhi in order to highlight Tan Daoji, but this gentleman really did it.Burn all the supplies and run on foot.Don't even fight, just run on foot...
