The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1171 Liu Yin's Combat Style

"What? Abandon Hulao Pass? Is this really an order from King Yong?" Huang Chong looked at He Pan, who came to deliver the order, with incredulous eyes.

Due to the special order this time, Liu Yin did not appoint ordinary messengers, but sent He Pan, the chief commander of the Grand Sima, to go to Hulao Pass in person.He Pan has been in the army for many years. During the Northern Expedition, he had already followed Liu Yin. He joined the army from General Zhenbei to Da Sima. He has a very close relationship with Huang Chong, who has always been the deputy governor of the Chinese Army. His arrival , so that Huang Chong would not have any doubts.

Otherwise, Huang Chong would probably arrest the person who delivered the order and interrogate him to confirm the authenticity of the order.

After all, this order is too unbelievable. Hulao Pass is the only barrier to the east of Luoyang. Huang Chong led the five armies of the Han army to stand here for more than ten days. The battle was very fierce and the Han army suffered heavy casualties. What makes them proud is that although the Wu army has a large number of generals and a fierce offensive, it is still unable to cross the Hulao pass for half a step.

But now Liu Yin suddenly ordered them to give up Hulao Pass, Huang Chong and others were all stunned, Liu Yin sang that, if they gave up Hulao Pass, Luoyang City would be safe and secure. Resist Wu's attack?
If Hulao Pass is abandoned, wouldn't all their previous efforts and sacrifices become worthless?
Although He Pan's arrival had made Huang Chong no longer doubt the authenticity of this order, Huang Chong still couldn't help asking back.

He Pan said calmly: "Vice Governor Huang probably doesn't recognize King Yong's handwriting. This handwriting is written by King Yong himself. For the sake of caution, King Yong's personal seal is specially affixed."

Huang Chong was speechless. After following Liu Yin for many years, Huang Chong naturally knew Liu Yin's handwriting. Even if there were calligraphers who forged his handwriting, this seal could not be forged, because Liu Yin could not forge it except for special occasions. , this seal has never been used at all, that is to say, except for those who are particularly close to Liu Yin, there is no chance to come into contact with this private seal. Therefore, the authenticity of this handwritten letter is unquestionable.

"Is the eldest brother in a daze, and will give such an order?" Zhang Le poked his head over, glanced at the handwriting, and was sure that it was undoubtedly Liu Yin's handwriting, but for Liu Yin's inexplicable order, Zhang Le Le also said that he did not understand.

He Pan said with a serious face: "General Zhang, please don't question King Yong's strategy. This order was specially issued by King Yong for the purpose of eliminating the rebels against Wu after careful consideration. King Yong still has many means in the future. Please Deputy Governor Huang Act with the generals according to the order, and there must be no mistakes!"

Hearing this, all Huang Chong's doubts disappeared. Yes, they have fought with Liu Yin for many years. Don't they understand Liu Yin's fighting style?Follow the rules and step by step, that is definitely not Liu Yin's style. Whether it is the Northern Expedition or the Eastern Expedition, that time was not a stroke of genius. It is precisely because Liu Yin does not follow the rules every time. It is the unimaginable means of common sense that Ji Han can achieve today's glory, and this time abandoning Hulao Pass will definitely be a big move by Liu Yin.

"He joined the army, what orders does King Yong have?" Huang Chong didn't have any doubts at this time, he could only carry out Liu Yin's orders unconditionally.

He Pandao: "King Yong has an order. After receiving the order, the defenders of Hulao Pass must gradually withdraw from Hulao Pass within two days without delay. Moreover, the traces of voluntary withdrawal must not be too obvious. The Wu people believe that Hulao Pass was conquered by them with all their efforts, and we did not give up on our own initiative."

Huang Chong showed a smile on his face, and said: "He Canjun, don't worry, Huang still has this kind of means, and I guarantee that it will be seamless."

He Pan and Huang Chong have worked together for many years, and they are still very familiar with each other. He Pan is still very clear about Huang Chong's ability.

Huang Chongdao: "He joined the army, why is he in such a hurry to go back, I prepare a little wine, why join the army for a farewell party."

He Pan chuckled, and said: "If you drink, you don't have to. After defeating the Wu people, He will buy wine in Luoyang, and then get drunk with Deputy Governor Huang."

Huang Chong was also inconvenient to keep him, and bid farewell to He Pan. He Pan left straight away and returned to Luoyang to return to his command.

When He Pan delivered the order, only Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo were present. Huang Chong immediately called the other three leading generals, Luo Xi, Gao Yuan, and Luo Shang, to discuss the military affairs.

In the past few days, the Wu people's offensive has never shown any signs of weakening. They even strengthened their nightly offensive, trying to use rounds of strong attacks to destroy the defensive will of the Han army, thus taking down Hulao Pass.

The disadvantage in terms of military strength made it extremely difficult for the Han army to defend the city. Now the Hulao is in dilapidated condition under the continuous attacks of the Wu army, and the city walls in many areas are collapsing. The gaps, I am afraid that Wu Jun has already swarmed up from these gaps.

Even so, the defense of the entire Hulao Pass is already riddled with holes, and the splendens are in danger. Under the repeated offensives of the Wu army, the Han army can only resist with strong will and barely support the situation.

In order to counter the continuous attacks of the Wu army, the Han army also divided into two squads to fight. It was Luo Xi, Gao Yuan and Luo Shang who were commanding the battle at the gate during the day. When they were called down, they still looked surprised. know what happened.

Huang Chong didn't talk about anything else, but directly ordered: "The order of King Yong, our army immediately abandons Hulao Pass and retreats to Luoyang City."

The three of them were all startled, and Luo Xi said: "Although the situation is difficult now, it will not be a problem to defend for another ten or eight days. If King Yong can send some more reinforcements, there will be no problem in defending the Hulao Pass." , Why did King Yong order the withdrawal of troops at this time?"

Huang Chong said in a deep voice: "Although we swear to live and die together in Hulao Pass, King Yong's order must not be disobeyed. Within two days, all must withdraw from Hulao Pass. All troops must not have any delay, otherwise we will proceed according to military law. .”

Since it was Liu Yin's order, Luo Xi didn't say anything more. Huang Chong immediately made a detailed deployment, which army retreated first, and which army was cut off, all made proper arrangements, retreat and defeat Those are two completely different things, and an orderly retreat must be made to look like a rout, so that the Wu people believe that the Han army gave up Hulao Pass when they were truly defeated. Huang Chong has led the army for many years and has rich combat experience, so he still has some means.
