Chapter 225
"Hurry up, speed up, and get to Luomen as soon as possible, and then everyone can rest."
Zhang Heng rode on the horse, calling on the troops under his command to speed up the march.
After Han Sui received the letter from the Kingdom, he was overjoyed immediately. Among the coalition forces of the counties in Liangzhou, Han Sui feared Anxi Zhonglang General Liu Ye the most.
And Liu Ye once fought with Huangfusong, and he had an elite soldier of nearly 10,000 people under him, and he also served as Tianshui County, the richest county in Liangzhou, with a population of more than 100,000.
And at this juncture, Luomen County of Tianshui County actually had a powerful family rebellion, and they captured Luomen County in one go. It was a god-sent opportunity.
If God doesn't take it, you will suffer it instead.
Han Sui immediately ordered Zhang Heng, one of the eight generals, to lead five thousand troops, including four thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry.
Hearing Zhang Heng's order, the 5,000 Korean troops immediately accelerated their march and moved towards Luomen County. As soon as they left the range of Nan'an County, they were not far from Luomen County.
"Come on, go to Luomen County to find out, and let Wang Guo prepare food and grass."
A scout responded and left, galloping on horseback, and the distance of thirty miles was reached in more than an hour.
The scout saw a military camp outside the city from afar, and couldn't help being taken aback, stopped in surprise, and looked at the flag of General Yu Zi fluttering above the military camp outside the city.
There were traces of hacking and ax cutting on the city wall of Luomen County, obviously after a period of offensive and defensive battles, but the banner with the character of king was still planted on the top of the city.
It seems that the kingdom rebelled and was besieged by the county defenders, but the county is still in the hands of the kingdom.
The sentry bypassed the barracks outside the city far away, and arrived at another wall. Even more than a dozen guards pointed their bows and arrows at him.
"Who came down from the city?"
A defender with the appearance of an officer stood swaggeringly on the top of the city and shouted at the cavalry under the city wall.
The scout reported his family background: "A certain is a scout under Captain Zhang Heng of the Han Army, and my captain was ordered to come to help."
The officer was overjoyed and said: "It's very good. Colonel Wumeng of Ji County led his troops to besiege Luomen County for several days. Quickly ask your envoy to report to Captain Zhang."
The scout nodded: "Please tell General Wang that a school lieutenant will arrive soon, and we will try our best to destroy the thief."
"That's great, I'll just wait for Captain Zhang."
"drive!"
The scout heard the galloping hooves of the horse, and when he looked back, he saw more than ten horsemen galloping out from the barracks, chasing him.
"I'm going first, there will be a period later!"
The scouts in Zhang Heng's army were startled, and they pulled up their horses and fled.
"Wu that little thief, where did you escape? Stop and fight a certain Guan Hai for 300 rounds."
There were more than a dozen horsemen chasing him desperately behind him, Zhang Hengjun's scouts didn't dare to turn around and fight, they just ran for their lives, only the constant whirring of wind could be heard, and the shouting and hooves of horses became more and more loud. farther and farther.
When he looked back, he saw more than ten riders getting farther and farther behind him. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax, and instead galloped the horse all the way.
Guan Hai saw that the enemy cavalry was running far away, so he stopped slowly and said to the left and right: "Okay, don't chase, go back."
He deliberately obeyed Yu Jin's instructions and let the other party go, otherwise, even if he couldn't catch up, he could shoot the scout off his horse with just one arrow.
"Captain, Captain!"
Zhang Hengjun's scouts, who finally escaped, saw their own army from a distance and hurried over.
Zhang Heng frowned: "What's the matter, are you in a panic?"
The scout rushed to Zhang Heng in one breath, breathless and said: "Lieutenant, there is an urgent military situation."
Zhang Heng frowned: "Hurry up."
"Lieutenant Wu Meng of Tianshui County led an army to besiege Luomen County. Now he is stationed outside Luomen County. He was chased and killed by the enemy cavalry in the camp. Fortunately, he escaped."
"Oh? I was thinking about how to send troops, but I didn't expect that the guards in Tianshui County had already arrived in Luomen County. Isn't this a godsend opportunity?"
Now that the defenders of Tianshui County have already arrived outside Luomen County, wouldn't it be easy to defeat the enemy army with a flanking attack from inside and outside the kingdom? With this credit, General Han will not be able to appoint himself as a county guard? If he can be the governor of Tianshui County, he will have a lot of money.
"Quickly send troops to Luomen County, and work together with the defenders in the county to defeat the enemy!"
After a quick march, the 5,000 troops of Zhang Heng were a little tired, but Zhang Heng was eager to fight, so he didn't care about that much, so he immediately dispatched the troops. These 5,000 troops can be considered veterans, so they followed Zhang Heng and marched into Luomen County.
After a rapid march of thirty miles, Luomen County and the military camp outside the city suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Come here, shoot books with bows and arrows in the city, notify the kingdom to send troops, and attack the enemy together!"
With a wave of Zhang Heng's hand, even countless riders gathered towards Luomen County.
But Zhang Heng looked at the barracks outside the city and ordered an attack.
"Infantry charge forward and attack the enemy's camp."
"The cavalry are cruising outside. Once they break through the enemy's camp, they will immediately attack the camp."
Hearing Zhang Heng's order, the 5,000 soldiers and horses were immediately divided into two parts, and the 4,000 infantry immediately formed a dense formation and attacked forward.
Many Qiang soldiers were mixed among the four thousand infantry. The Qiang soldiers were always brave and good at fighting. Although they had gone through a quick march, they were still full of vigor.
"kill!"
Shocking shouts of killing came from all directions, the archers among the four thousand infantry drew their bows and set arrows, and released arrows into the camp, while the remaining infantry raised their large shields and spears, and launched an attack forward.
In the face of the enemy's attack on the camp, the Han troops in the camp quickly rushed out, defending the camp, and also yearning to shoot arrows, and began to fight with the Qiang soldiers who attacked the camp. Since the soldiers of Zhang Heng's army were quite tired, they immediately Started the onslaught, wanting to end the fight quickly. And the enemy troops in the battalion were not idle, and the resistance was quite fierce, so once the battle started, it entered a white-hot state.
The cavalrymen under Zhang Heng rushed to the city gate, shot several letters into the city with arrows, and shouted at the same time: "General Han's subordinate Zhang Xiaowei has led his army to arrive, and he is attacking the enemy's camp with his troops. , General Wang, please send troops to help quickly."
A fat, white, middle-aged man stuck out his head on the top of the city: "I know, so I will send troops."
This person is Wang Guo, but the knife behind his back is stuck in his vest, it is impossible to say otherwise.
As the city gate slowly opened, an army of more than 3,000 people slowly marched out of the city, flying a military flag with the word king.
Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the army in the city coming to help, but he was taken aback for a moment.
The army flag with the character of Wang was suddenly thrown on the ground, and then a flag with the character of Yu was erected again.
