All the way east

A sudden mutiny caused Hulao Pass, which was originally full of dangers and was about to start, to change the royal flag. ""/" full text of the advertisement txt download

Chen Kefu's extremely generous reward also made the defenders who were originally nervous, frightened and suspicious, worrying and all that was left was full of ecstasy.

After a burst of cheers, the dark night finally gradually closed down, a trace of whiteness appeared in the east, and the morning light came again.

In the white mist of morning light, Chen Kefu rode the purple love horse Sa purple dew. Under the guidance of the newly promoted Marquis of Sishui, Huang Junhan, and Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin of the Hebei Army, Zhai Jiaojiao and Zhang Chuchen who had just arrived from Ji County, Feng Huan who had been following him from Mengjin, Niu Jinda, Yang Qian'an and others, Chen Kefu inspected the 10,000 Hulao Army outside Hulao Pass, on the plain by the Sishui River.

Ten thousand of the Wei army surrendered troops who had just received a generous reward were lined up by the Sishui River. Although the weapons in each person's hands were still in the pass, there was no sign on everyone's face that they were the surrendered troops who had just surrendered. Instead, they were like a proud soldier who had just won a great victory and was being inspected by the commander.

When Chen Kefu rode on the horse, he saw that the ten thousand Wei troops were indeed elite. The soldiers were all tall and mighty, and there was no impression that the rebels were all sick and weak, and their faces were hungry. Although when they left the city, Niu Jinda and others ordered the soldiers to leave all their weapons in the city to please him. However, the bright light armor they were wearing and the flags raised in the team all showed that this was Li Mi's elite troops.

The strong passes and tiger prisons, strong walls and high buildings, elite soldiers and powerful generals, strong armor and sharp swords.

Just from these details, Chen Kefu had already inferred in his heart that Li Mi was willing to attack Hebei.

Last time he was going to attack Ji County, but Wang Shichong happened to win in Hedong and was a little proud. As a result, Li Mi decisively gave up attacking Hebei temporarily, and immediately shot Wang Shichong and caught Wang Shichong off guard. He wiped out all the troops and horses outside Luoyang and besieged Luoyang.

After Li Mi captured the outer periphery of Dongdu, he only surrounded Luoyang but did not attack. On the south bank of the Yellow River, on the Beimang Mountain opposite Heyang, where Wang Shichong was located, a solid Jinyong City was built. On the Mang Mountain, relying on the two natural dangers of the Yellow River and the Mang Mountain, a solid line of defense was established.

At this time, when he saw the strong defense of the Hulao in the east of Luoyang, Chen Kefu had already understood Li Mi's strategic arrangement. (Xiankun Likun Novel Network com)

Facing the solidity of Luoyang, the world's No. 1 city built by Yang Guang ascended the throne, this guy spent all the people, material resources and financial resources in the world, and did not intend to attack. At that time, Yang Guang considered that the north and south had not been unified for a long time, and there were still many barriers in the north and south, so he decided to build the capital of Luoyang City in the center of the world and between the north and south. In order to build Luoyang, the capital in his heart, he was no longer the design and construction of the elderly Chang'an Daxing City. Yuwen Kai died shortly after the construction of Luoyang. Before his death, he once said to Yang Guang, "Luoyang cannot be urged and cannot be broken!"

Luoyang, a new capital that consumed most of its national strength, has long been no longer an ordinary city or an ordinary capital. It is a huge fortress that is both majestic and strong. In addition to the tall and solid nature of Luoyang City, Yuwen Kai also set up various defensive depths around Luoyang. It can be said that with only manpower, even if a million troops besiege, Luoyang City can be held for more than ten years.

In fact, after Luoyang was completed, Yang Guang did not stay in Luoyang for long. He fought in Liaodong three times, toured the border north, went south to Jiangdu, and then went out of Yanmen. In the end, Yang Guang also died in Taiyuan and did not return to Luoyang.

After Luoyang was completed, Yang Xuangan attacked Luoyang when he raised an army, but he was besieged for more than two months but could not be stopped.

Li Mi besieged Luoyang, and was unable to escape after more than half a year of siege. Later, Wang Shichong entered Luoyang, and Li Mi could not even break the outer defense of Luoyang.

This time, Li Mi took advantage of Wang Shichong's unpreparedness and took advantage of his army's in Hedong to raid the outer defense depth around Luoyang. The troops were at the city, but he was still helpless in the face of Luoyang.

In the history that Chen Kefu knew, after Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, Li Yuan's troops from Guanzhong went out of the Central Plains. For the first time, Li Shimin led his army to the city of Luoyang, and finally returned in vain. The last time, Li Shimin led his army to attack the Central Plains again. Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops in Hulao with thousands of people, but facing Luoyang City, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's army still had no choice.

Finally, the food supply in Luoyang City was exhausted, and Wang Shichong had to open the city and surrender to Li Tang.

In line with Yuwen Kai's words, the eastern capital Luoyang cannot be urged or destroyed. After Li Shimin took Luoyang, Luoyang was destroyed, and the defenses of the fortresses built around the periphery had long been destroyed. Even the tall Luoyang city walls were destroyed in many places, and they had long lost the style of the world's number one capital and the world's number one city.

It was because of the experience of not siegeing Luoyang twice that Li Mi chose the strategy of siegeing but not attacking. Li Mi built Jinyong City in the northwest of Luoyang, and built and reinforced the Hulao Fortress in the northeast. His ambition was already obvious. Li Mi did not want to fight Wang Shichong. He locked Wang Shichong north of the Yellow River and left Yang Ming, who was also in the east of the Hebei, to deal with Wang Shichong.

However, he stockpiled a large amount of food and grass in Luoshui, and strengthened the cities in Yanshi, Luokou Cangcheng, Hulao, and Jindi, and built the already dangerous cities into fortresses. The purpose was to go north to attack Jijun, meet with Wei Daoer, and compete with him Chen Kefu in the north, intend to join forces with Wei Daoer first, defeat him in Hebei, and then dominate the Central Plains.

But Li Mi did not expect that he would go west to Mengjin and join Wang Shichong this time.

He disrupted Li Mi's deployment, especially this time he deliberately lured Li Mi to set up an ambush, causing Li Mi's original plan to disrupt all of his original plans. Otherwise, there would be 50,000 elite troops in Jindi Pass, 50,000 elite troops in Hulao Pass, and 50,000 elite troops in Luokou Cang City. Chen Kefu would have no chance at all in just 150,000 elite troops in these three fortresses.

The morning mist was vast and the morning breeze was gently blowing. After reviewing the 10,000 Wei troops who had just surrendered, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin also took Chen Kefu's order to quickly unfold the formation of 15,000 Hebei soldiers on the plain by the Sishui River.

The cavalry is majestic, with people like tigers and horses like dragons, and its aura is magnificent. The black bright light knight armor reflects a faint bright light, and the unsheathed cavalry's exclusive equipment and swords are shaking and emitting a cold light.

The infantry were neatly arranged, with neat infantry phalanxes, shield soldiers holding large shields, spears, infantry armor, melee jumpers holding horizontal swords and light armor, and rows of crossbowmen teams holding slow-armored machines at a later position in the formation, as well as archers teams still behind them.

Large metal shields as bright as mirrors, large pieces of infantry armor made of stamped steel plates, sharp horizontal swords made of fine steel, light leather armor made of melee infantry composed of the best animal skins and fine wire meteor infantry. There are also black squids that exudes a faint and cold black squids, and exquisite infantry longbows produced by the Liaodong Ordnance Bureau.

The various weapons equipped by the soldiers of the Hebei Army made the Hulao defenders who were watching and watching were dazzling. On the battlefield, a good armor and a sharp weapon were often the second life of the warriors. Looking at the exquisite and almost luxurious weapons of the Hebei Army, and their armor that was comparable to the leaders and generals of the rebel army, these Hulao defenders were both envious and jealous. They were also grateful that they joined the Hebei Army and would have these exquisite and strong armors and gorgeous and sharp swords in the future.

But in a short while, when he was originally amazed by the weapons in the hands of the Hebei cavalry and infantrymen and the war horses under his foot, he soon became frightened again.

At the end of the inspection, teams of soldiers dressed in light armor dragged out one carriage after another. Then, these Hebei soldiers quickly unloaded piles of fragmented items from the carriage in front of them, and under their bets, they quickly formed one terrifying large equipment that shocked them and feared them.

Some of them knew these equipment, while others did not. They knew them, such as catapults, crossbow beds, siege rams, cloud towers, rushing chariots, etc., and even the Hebei soldiers quickly assembled ladders in front of them. Then, iron boxes were transported from the carriage by them.

At first, no one knew what was in the iron boxes, but in a short while, when they saw the Hebei soldiers take out all kinds of cloth bags, balls and other strange things from the iron boxes, and then use various equipment such as catapults to fire into the distance. Then they heard a burst of violent thunder and the dust and flames rushing up all over the sky, many of the tiger guards were scared and looked deserted. They finally knew what was, those were the legendary Liaodong divine thunder in the army.

The two armies outside the pass were inspected for the whole morning, and it was not until the sun was at its peak that the two armies were over. When they returned to the city, the soldiers of Hebei were all refreshed and proud.

The Wei army, who had just surrendered, was already shocked by the wonderful performance of the Hebei Military Engineers' Battalion because of the joy of receiving generous rewards. On the way back to the city, the Wei army all turned pale, and many soldiers turned their heads to look at the Hebei army from time to time, and their eyes were filled with fear.

Chen Kefu saw all this and was very satisfied with it. The inspection outside the city was his special plan. Although Hulao Pass was easily taken, Chen Kefu was also a little worried about these Wei troops, who were born in the rebel army. Outside the city, he was extremely generous and generous to the Wei army and gave generous rewards.

However, Chen Kefu understood that giving benefits alone sometimes does not necessarily lead to the desired result. As a superior, the best way is to combine kindness and power. When giving generous rewards to the surrendered troops, Chen Kefu immediately let the Hebei army show its force in front of the surrendered troops. The powerful combat power of the Hebei army left an unforgettable impression on all the surrendered troops.

"Your Highness, when will we return to Luokou?" Qin Qiongce asked immediately.

Chen Kefu looked back at Luokou behind him, and finally shook his head, "No, we won't go back to Luokou, we will immediately capture the Xingyang County Governor Guancheng!"
