Chapter 706 Can't be withdrawn (first update)
The South Gate of Luoyang City.

After retreating from the front line, the soldiers of the Hou Wei Army and the Tun Wei Army were slowly walking towards the city gate.

Zhao Zi's battle flag was lowered, and the packhorse was carrying seriously injured soldiers. Many of the other soldiers were also wounded, but they were simply bandaged, and the wound cloth was still dripping with blood.

The people outside the city looked at this scene with ominous premonitions. This is clearly the tragedy after losing the battle.It has been a long time since Zhao Jun's continuous victories in recent years have suffered a defeat. This time, it looked like he was defeated, which surprised the people outside the city.

Not only the common people, but even the soldiers of the Zhao army guarding Luoyang, couldn't believe it.They went down to the top of the city to inquire about their robes, and after hearing that they were indeed defeated by Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, they immediately confirmed the news.

Even the well-known general Xu Shiji also lost. Is it true that Tang Jun Li Xiaogong and Li Jing are as powerful as the legends?Or Zhao Jun himself made a mistake.In this battle, Hou Weijun, the station guard, suffered nearly [-] casualties. Yique, the southern gate of Luoyang, fell, and two cities were lost in the three cities of Heyang in the north. The main force of the Zhao army in Youjing had not yet arrived, and Luoyang City was facing a crisis at this moment.

Not only the soldiers, but also the people's hearts are floating.The soldiers walked towards the city gate dejectedly.

A soldier of the Tunwei Army looked at this scene and suddenly said loudly: "Brothers, I have defeated Dou Jiande, defeated Liu Heita, destroyed Wang Shichong, and defeated Luoyang from Youjing for thousands of miles. Small failures are nothing."

Hearing what the soldier said, all the soldiers of the three armies raised their heads.Everyone said one after another: "Yes, how many powerful enemies have been defeated by our Tunwei army, what is it if we lose only for a while!"

"Don't let others look down on us. Brothers, raise your heads and chests up. The man in my guard army will bleed out and die soon!"

The blood flowed out, and death never came!This sentence has always been the battle cry of the Tunwei Army, and now the soldiers of the Tunwei Army shouted loudly.The soldiers of the Tunwei Army seemed to have regained their strength one by one, tidied up their clothes, and marched forward with their heads held high.

The drummer next to the mules and horses also beat the small drum, and the soldiers regained their spirits and entered the Luoyang city gate.

Seeing the Tunwei Army revived, all the Hou Weijun soldiers on the side were envious.

A soldier of the Tunwei Army said: "Their Tunwei Army is one of the four earliest government armies in Dazhao. They have made great achievements in battle. It's nothing to lose for a while, but our Houwei Army has lost the first battle since it became an army. I'm afraid it will not be long in the future." It’s hard to turn around.”

"Bah, what are you talking about, are you still our big Zhao man?" a soldier retorted.

"That's right!" came a voice.

The two soldiers turned out to be Shan Xiongxin, they both lost their voices when they saw Shan Xiongxin: "General."

Shan Xiongxin rode his horse into the city, and shouted to the soldiers: "Cheer up, a small defeat, let you do this, what is it like! The Tunwei Army fought more battles than us, but they fought more battles. What's the matter, right now I'm playing less, and I'm going to win one game at a time. Brothers, there is a saying that you should be brave after you know your shame, don't worry about losing today, we'll make it up sooner or later!"

After hearing Shan Xiongxin's words, all the guards and soldiers in front of the city gate wiped their tears with their hands.

"General, we must avenge this revenge!"

"Brethren's blood will not be shed in vain!"

Shan Xiongxin looked at the soldiers and clasped his fists together and said, "Brothers, please!"

The soldiers of the Marquis Guard stepped down heavily, and the dust in front of the city gate rose. At this moment, the defeated army seemed to be rejuvenated, and the soldiers marched forward boldly.

Xu Shiji heard Shan Xiongxin's words from afar, and said to his left and right: "Being defeated is not discouraged. This is the way of generals. Shan Xiongxin is truly remarkable."

The general at the side listened and said: "What is this saying, general? The loss in this battle is all due to the Tunwei Army. If it weren't for them, how could our Tunwei Army suffer such a loss."

Xu Shiji shook his head and said: "So what if you lost the battle? Liu Bang met Xiang Yu and didn't win a single victory, but he was able to turn the world around in Gaixia. As for Xiang Yu, he lost only a few times in 72 battles in his life. It took his life. Our army has almost never lost a battle in [-], it was so smooth, and this time we learned the lesson of this defeat, so that everyone understands that we should not underestimate the heroes of the world."

After listening to Xu Shiji's words, all the generals were taught.

A general said: "General, at present, the Tang army's south army can reach the city of Luoyang in two or three days. If the army of the north crosses the Yellow River again and reaches the city of Luoyang, can Luoyang be defended if it is encircled twice?"

Xu Shiji looked around and saw that all the generals seemed to have no confidence, so he immediately said: "If you can't hold it, you have to hold it!"

However, Xu Shiji also understood that if the Tang army on the North Road really crossed the Yellow River, the pressure on Luoyang would be enormous.

At this moment, on the bank of the Yellow River, Tang Jun built a pontoon bridge overnight, and all the small boats on the north bank had been transferred to the south bank.Now the pontoon bridge connecting the two sides of the Yellow River is about to be built.

On the southern city of Heyang, Su Dingfang was worried, looking at the other side of the Yellow River, where the Tang army's camp stretched into the distance, as if it were endless.The north bank was illuminated brightly by the lights in the Tang army barracks, as if it were daytime, and even the turbid Yellow River was illuminated brightly.The sound of fighting in the camp seemed to reach Su Dingfang's ears on the south bank.The main force of nearly 12 Tang troops was pressed on the north bank, almost making the Zhao army on the south bank breathless.

And near Wangwu Mountain, a battle that could affect the situation of the Tang-Zhao War is unfolding.

On the top of the mountain, Yinghe Fu led five thousand prairie riders to charge the Tang army down the mountain with overwhelming momentum.

Seeing the Fanjun cavalry on the top of the hill, the civilian servants trembled.

"There are a lot of people and horses!" The servants stammered.

"Father of the Chen family, we are only here to transport food, there is no need to work for his Li family."

The civilian servants were loose, and a few of them thought of oiling the soles of their feet.

At this time, several heads fell to the ground, and it turned out that the soldiers of the Tang army had already drawn their knives and chopped down those who wanted to escape.

"Whoever escapes without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

The generals and soldiers of the Tang army were vicious, and all the civilian soldiers did not dare to have any objections, and bowed their heads together.

"Turn the car across and block the mountain road." Hearing the soldiers of the Tang army yelling.The minds of the civilian servants were completely blank at this time.

On the hillside, the Fanjun cavalry raised their sabers high, and everyone present felt their scalps go numb. Can this level be blocked by a car?

The servants were in a hurry, turned the car sideways, approached and took out wooden sticks, and retreated tremblingly.

But Zhao Jun's cavalry was merciless, and the cavalry on the hillside rushed down the mountain like an avalanche.The soldiers of the Tang army shot arrows at the oncoming Fanjun cavalry, but the Tang army could not be arranged in a favorable defensive position on the narrow road.

Arrows can't do much damage to Zhao Jun's cavalry.

"coming!"

The civilian servants closed their eyes and raised their wooden sticks at the charging horses, their hands and feet trembling constantly.

Inhofer rode on the horse and watched the enemy soldiers approaching at high speed, with a sneer on his face.With a wave of his sword, the cavalrymen on the left and right raised their bows and arrows and shot down the mountain.

Shi Dexi's cavalry was first-class in cavalry and archery. They rose and fell on horseback, stretched their bows and set arrows, and a dense rain of arrows flew into the Tang army's camp.

The soldiers of the Tang army held up their leather shields to resist the arrows, while the civilian servants could only hide behind the rooster cart, but many arrows still hit the civilian servants' heels, thighs or arms.There were screams of pain one after another.

The Fanjun cavalry shot arrows and stuck them in the grain bags of the chicken bus, and corn like yellow sand poured out of the bags and sprinkled on the ground.

Seeing the military rations on the ground, Yinghefu couldn't help but be overjoyed, yes, this is the ration team of the Tang Army!To Yinghofer, the leaked military rations were as exciting as a hungry wolf seeing blood.
kill!

As if a wolf had bared its fangs, the prairie rider put away his longbow and replaced it with a sword, and the sound of the horse's hooves was earth-shattering.

When charging, the Fanjun cavalry threw away their cumbersome leather jackets, revealing the tiger and wolf tattoos all over their bodies, and the huge earrings on half of their ears were also shocking.
The war horse rushed into the Tang army's shield formation proudly!
With a bang, both the man and the horse were knocked into the air.Following this gap, the Fanjun cavalry swung their scimitars and slashed like crazy.

The sharp blade draws a crescent-like arc.The thin blade cut through the leather armor of the soldiers of the Tang army without any effort at all.

With the help of the horse's momentum, the Fanjun cavalry slashed across at random, and the Tang soldier in front of him spun in place, holding the wound on his chest, and fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Tang army took up their spears and stabbed at the cavalry of the Fan army. Several spear bars were inserted from under the horse's belly, and the horse let out a tragic neigh and fell to the ground.But Fan Qi on the horse easily took off his stirrups, jumped off his horse, and threw himself into the Tang army.

The Fanjun cavalry fell into the ground, rolled sideways to avoid the blade of the gun, and slashed across with a knife, and then a leg wearing a cowhide boot left the owner's body.

"kill!"

The Fanjun cavalry shouted excitedly when they succeeded in one blow.

"Savage fan!"

Qian Jiulong killed a Fanjun cavalry who was about to assassinate him, and shouted angrily, although he personally killed one person, but he saw that the Tang army on his left and right was defeated by the Fanjun cavalry.

On the road, the unformed Tang army infantry was no match for the prairie rangers at all.Facing the enemy in such a disorderly manner has almost become a situation of single-soldier combat, which is exactly in line with the advantages of Fanqi.What's more, it is already very hard for my own soldiers to trek through the mountain roads, while the other party waits for work with ease, and the ups and downs of each other are even worse.As for the [-] civilians, these are not soldiers at all, but burdens.

"The general can't resist anymore, let's retreat!" A general was frightened, crying to Qian Jiulong with snot and tears all over his face.

"Withdraw? We are withdrawing. What about the rations? This is the rations of an army of 12. Without this rations, the brothers in the Heyang camp will starve!"

Qian Jiulong roared angrily.

Watching the scene where the Fanjun cavalry slashed and killed his own soldiers, Qian Jiulong almost cried and said, "We can't retreat! We can't retreat!"
