Chapter 216: A battle with no way out(1/2)
Chapter 216: A battle will lead to a future
"Kill..."
"Xilulu..."
Dian Wei, who was guarding Tao Ying, was dispatched, and the Northern Army besieged and killed two people, had hundreds of guards. The 100 Xuanjia cavalry who followed Yan Liang stopped working. At the greeting of the military mausoleum Xue Ti, they drew out sharp Tang swords and rode their horses into the battle circle.
"Puff puff puff..."
"Uh..."
It's like a wolf entering the flock of sheep, cutting melons and vegetables.
At this moment, the one-sided massacre can only be described by these words.
Although the Xuanjia Army had only about one hundred men, they were all cavalry that had been alive for the rest of their lives; although the Northern Army and the Guards were large, nearly half were infantrymen. In front of the well-equipped Xuanjia Army, which had been through battle for a long time, there was not even a single enemy.
Moreover, the Xuanjia Army has Tao Ying, the soul commander, and two "killing gods"-like commanders lead the way, both of whom share the same hatred for the enemy.
The original commander of the Northern Army, He Miao, general Bian Bing, fled and fled. Sima Zhao Si, the guard of the Middle East Mentun, was killed. Both armies were all without leaders, and they lost their power to advance and retreat, becoming a mess of sand.
Yan Liang, Dian Wei and the Xuanjia cavalry were killed and killed, and soon the Northern Army and Guards under Luoyang City collapsed.
"Ah, I don't want to die!"
"Run!"
"Give me your life!"
...
The sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, the howlings before death, the screams, the screams of mercy, the neighing of war horses, the panic screams of the frightened people around them, one after another, forming a song "Sonata of Death".
For a moment, this battle suddenly broke out under the Middle East Gate of Luoyang dragged this world that had been comfortable for a hundred years into boundless hell.
"Chakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
A harsh friction sound came, and the suspension bridge leaning against the bridge pier in front of the Middle East gate slowly rose under the guidance of the noose, and the heavy city gate slowly closed.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
Immediately afterwards, the guards on the city tower began to shoot arrows down the city without discrimination.
In fact, it is no longer considered "no difference".
In just half a quarter of an hour, hundreds of Northern Army soldiers and guards were almost killed by Yan Liang, Dian Wei and more than one hundred Xuanjia cavalry. The Xuanjia cavalry stood under the city.
"The Xuanjia Army obeys the order and retreat quickly!"
Chen Deng, who stood beside Tao Ying, always paid attention to the movement of the guards on the city tower. At this moment, seeing that the guards at the gate were finally disregarded, he immediately ordered the Xuanjia Army to stay away from the moat.
"Lord, be careful of arrows coming from the city!"
Just now, Chen Deng neither stopped Yan Liang from taking action against He Miao nor advised Tao Yingyin to endure the fight, not only because he felt angry, but also because he wanted to safeguard the dignity of General Wei and the Marquis of Jinan and the majesty of tens of thousands of Xuanjia Army.
To put it bluntly, He Miao's provocation was not only Tao Ying, but the entire Xuanjia Army with Tao Ying as its core.
This is a battle for justice and bloodiness.
Therefore, Chen Deng knew that this place was a major capital and the emperor would inevitably cause reactions from all parties, but he did not advise Tao Ying to endure it.
Moreover, Chen Deng knew very well that if he stopped him, he would not only be disunited with the Xuanjia Army such as Yan Liang, but even Tao Ying would be disappointed with him.
"Wen Heng, evil comes, retreat quickly!"
After receiving Chen Deng's reminder, Tao Ying's dark and deep eyes quickly glanced at the guards who were already drawing arrows on the top of the city. At the bloodthirsty Yan Liang, Dian Wei shouted loudly, grabbed Chen Deng's reins, turned around and retreated.
"Get back quickly!"
After hearing Chen Deng and Tao Ying's orders one after another, Yan Liang, who had no one to kill in front of him, immediately responded loudly without hesitation, and took the lead in retreating towards the direction where Tao Ying was.
"Driving!"
After hearing the order, the Xuanjia cavalry also gave up the "lamb to be slaughtered" without hesitation, and turned their horses to leave the battle circle and stayed away from the moat.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
At this moment, the benefits of orders and bans were immediately reflected. Yan Liang, Dian Wei and other Xuanjia cavalrymen were far away from the moat for a few days, and the rain of arrows like locusts fell on the top of the city.
"Puff puff puff..."
"Uh..."
Because he was condescending, even though the moat bank was nearly two hundred meters away from the city gate, ordinary arrows still landed on the battlefield where he had just fought.
The injured Northern Army, the guards, etc. were all shot in the arrows.
Many of the soldiers who had already died in battle and pretended to be dead were shot into hedgehogs.
"Hiss, fortunately retreated in time!"
"Ha, I almost got dressed into a skewer!"
"It's still the lord who is wise, and orders can save his life!"
...
"Two hundred steps back!"
Without waiting for the Xuanjia Army soldiers who secretly called for luck to take a breath, Tao Ying, whose eyes were shrinking at the head of the Middle East Gate, immediately issued another order.
"Defend the crossbow arrow!"
This time, without waiting for Tao Ying to reach out, Chen Deng and Tao Ying turned their horse heads simultaneously, and retreated quickly under Yan Liang and Dian Wei's escort.
"Driving!"
After the experience just now, the Xuanjia Army drove the horse backed back two hundred steps even faster.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Swish swish swish swish..."
In just a few breaths, a roar that was several times stronger than the sound of the arrow rain breaking through the air just now.
"Six stone crossbow?"
Yan Liang, who looked surprised, looked out into the city and wiped his cold sweat secretly.
"It must be Shi Zhang!"
Dian Wei, who was also a little scared, stared at the Middle East Gate with cold eyes and muttered in a muffled voice.
In the infantry crossbow hands, Zhang Shi can use his legs and his waist to work together to use a six-stone to eight-stone crossbow.
The powerful crossbow is a powerful weapon to defend the city, and its range is naturally much farther than that of ordinary infantry bows. If Tao Ying had not reminded him in time, Yan Liang and Dian Wei would not know whether he died, but it would be difficult to say whether the cavalry of the Xuanjia Army is now.
"Hu..."
Looking at the place where he had just stood, it was covered with dense crossbow arrows like a forest, the cavalry of the Xuanjia Army all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord, I heard that there is a powerful crossbow with more than twelve stones on the head of Luoyang City. Should I retreat further?"
Yan Liang, who knew it later, protected Tao Ying and reminded him with concern.
"No need to be nervous. A powerful crossbow with more than ten stones is no longer within human power. It requires the power of a cow. This is not the case when there is a war, there will be no cow on the top of the city."
Looking at the city, Chen Deng, whose eyes were slightly frowning, comforted Yan Liang and looked at Tao Ying with anxiety.

"Lord, the guards in the village have used a powerful defensive crossbow. I'm afraid I'll be a little troubled when I enter the city this time!"
Tao Ying understood Chen Deng's meaning. The Northern Army and the guards were seriously injured. No matter whether this was a misunderstanding or a conspiracy, it was not important to the Ling Emperor and Tao Ying. As long as Tao Ying did not compromise, he could only run away as soon as possible, and the faster the better.
"Return to Qingzhou now?"
"No, this will not only make He Miao's treacherous plan succeed, but also will not run away smoothly if he is a traitor!"
"Stay?"
"It is impossible for Emperor Ling to see me in court controlled by eunuchs, foreign relatives, and great gentry!"
...
Tao Ying was caught off guard. After thinking about it, he realized that when he met a foolish emperor like Ling Emperor, he had no way to resolve the best of both worlds, and he didn't even have a slight room for fantasy, so he couldn't help but make a fuss.
"Since it's hard to be good at horizontally and vertically, let's just throw a bet!"
Slowly, under the silent gaze of Chen Deng, Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Xue Ti and other Xuanjia Army, Tao Ying's unstable expression calmed down, and there was no trace of emotion in his handsome face. His originally dark and sharp eyes also became softer, without any slight turbulence.
"Fatty Dong, I don't know if you have any chance!"
Tao Ying's eyes, which were as emotionally ups and downs as if in the deep autumn pool, flashed through Chen Deng, Yan Liang, Dian Wei and others' faces, urging the horse to take a step forward.
"Everyone, the current situation is clear at a glance. I, Tao Ying, will not be tolerated by the "three mountains" of eunuchs, relatives, and powerful men in the great surname. This means that I will not be tolerated by the corrupt and declining Han court. I may not be able to return to Mount Tai alive and return to Qingzhou. The future is uncertain!"
"In order to avoid following me Tao Ying on the single-plank bridge, you can draw a clear line with me Tao Ying now and go to your own Yangguan Road. I Tao Ying will never resent you!"
After saying that, Tao Ying, who had a faint smile on his face, slowly turned around, faced the Middle East Gate, and left Chen Deng, Yan Liang and other Xuanjia troops behind.
"You can choose to leave by yourself!"
A tragic war that just broke out has now returned to temporary peace.
