Luo Cheng's eldest son Luo Ren was sent to the state of Ying, and Luo Cheng's younger brother Luo Zhongshu was sent to the state of Xu.
These two people were the most adept at military strategy among the officials, so Luo Chengcai asked them to lead the soldiers of the Luo Kingdom to garrison Luoyi.
Unexpectedly, he was sent directly to the front line of resisting Huaiyi so quickly.
Luo Ren sat in the car, looked at the army outside the car, and said in a deep voice: "Second uncle, you are the most brave and skilled general of the Luo family. What do you think of the situation in Huaiyi?"
Luo Zhongshu is a very heroic middle-aged man with a rough and dark face. At first glance, he looks like a weathered man.
He was leaning in the carriage, his figure slightly slouched, but there still seemed to be a force flowing through his body, like a tiger ready to bite people at any time.
Hearing Luo Ren ask, he lazily said: "How can we see it?
Wu Yue has been held down and beaten by Huaiyi for so many years, and their fighting ability is not weak.
Whether it is defending or attacking a city, it is nothing more than using human lives to pile up.
But this time there are the most elite soldiers of the Luo Kingdom. The three thousand brave warriors who are from the Luo clan alone are an invincible and powerful army.
With these good men here, even if there are hundreds of thousands of Huaiyi people, I will not be afraid!
This time they must make a bloody promise to the two countries! "
"Yes, is there a stronger army in the world than the dare warriors of the Luo Kingdom?"
Most of Luo Guo's brave warriors are descendants of Xiaozong from the Luo family branch. They have grown up together with the children of the public family in the public school of Luo State. They listen to the stories of King Su every day and receive supplies from the public family. Their food and clothing.
This is the standard for a dead soldier!
Luo Zhongshu's face was full of pride, but he heard Luo Ren say quietly: "The brave warriors are the best in the world, and the Luo Kingdom's troops are all good men, but I don't know how many of them will return to the Luo Kingdom this time?
Second uncle. "
Luo Ren said this because he really wanted to know how many people in the Luo family would die this time.
He is the future master of the Luo Kingdom. After this war, will he still have the dignity to go back and see his people?
Luo Ren's words suddenly stunned Luo Zhongshu in the car. He was a general who only knew how to fight.
His elder brother asked him to lead troops to support the country of Ying and Xu. Even though he knew the difficulties and dangers, he still led the troops without hesitation.
But when Luo Ren said this, he suddenly felt cold all over.
I don't know how many people in the army are from the public clan, and all the brave warriors are the children of the public clan of Xiaozong.
If all these people died in the hands of Huaiyi, even if the tribe would not blame him, what would happen to the foundation of the Luo Kingdom?
The building collapses!
It will take at least twenty years to recuperate and wait for a new batch of brave warriors in the public school to grow up before Luo Kingdom can regain its strength.
Brother!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remember what his brother had told him when he came: "My brother is one of the best, and he has the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand men.
If you go to Xu State this time, you will definitely make great achievements. If you really make great achievements, my brother will confer you with the high position of Marquis.
In the land of Yingguo and Xuguo, I am going to establish Yingguo and let you be the king. This is something that will honor our ancestors.
After arriving in Xu State, take good care of yourself and me, Luo Guoerlang.
The safety of the royal family lies with you, and you must stop Huaiyi in Xu State.
As long as this goal can be achieved, no matter what the cost, brother will not blame you. "
Luo Zhongshu couldn't help but read these words, no matter what the cost!
Even if all the sons of the Luo family failed to come back?
"Aren, if all the sons of the Luo clan are lost in the hands of the Huaiyi people, I will not live alone. Remember to take my body back to the Luo Kingdom. I don't want to be buried in the land of the Southern Barbarians."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and said no more words.
Luo Ren had closed his eyes early and just made a vague "hmm" sound.
…
When Huaiyi went north, Yingguo and Xuguo were at each other's horns, and Yingguo was relatively stable.
However, Xu State failed to respond in time and lost half of it. Even the most critical Xu Yi fell into the hands of Huaiyi's partial army.
Without Xu Yi, the entire city of Xu State would be unable to support itself.
The Huaiyi army can cut off the grain roads of all cities, and the Huaiyi army can continuously detour northward from Xuyi.
…
On the Xuyi city wall, the Huaiyi people shot dense rain of arrows. This was the main way to defend the city. Luo Zhongshu personally led the Luo clan's elite to charge and kill.
Although it caused a lot of damage, it still failed to break through the Huaiyi people's defense line.
As the golden sound sounded, all the soldiers slowly retreated. There were raging fires burning in and on the city, and corpses were everywhere.
Luo Zhongshu's face was a little ugly. The number of Huaiyi in the city could not be said to be large, nor could they be said to be strong. As a result, such a Huaiyi army could capture Xu Yi.
During this siege, I briefly tested the armies of these Hanyang kingdoms, and found that they were really weak.
Luo Zhongshu, who understood that these people were unreliable, immediately put the elites he brought from Luo Kingdom to the battlefield.
The situation is critical now, and Xu Yi must be recovered before the Huaiyi army comes.
When dawn broke, Luo Zhongshu, in the name of being in charge of military and state affairs, once again mobilized all the troops in Xu State to launch an attack. Tens of thousands of troops attacked Xu Yi fiercely.
Xu Yi is not a very big city, and the princes' armies were divided into different echelons and attacked alternately without stopping for a moment.
Under the cover of the archers, certain results were achieved.
However, the Huaiyi people were condescending, and the princes' army suffered heavy casualties. Even if the casualties of the slave soldiers were not counted, hundreds of soldiers were completely killed.
These are all Chinese, even descendants of nobles with surnames.
"General Zhongshu, retreat, the casualties are too great!"
When the casualties increased to nearly two thousand, the Hanyang nobles could no longer hold on any longer and asked Luo Zhongshu to withdraw his troops and stop fighting.
Luo Zhongshu was even more heartbroken. In this short period of time, hundreds of Luo clan's children died on the city gate.
He did not order the troops to be withdrawn, but gathered all the remaining elites of the Luo family.
Luo Zhongshu stood on top of the chariot, his armor all stained with blood, his blade rolled up, he took off his bronze helmet, his bun had long been untied, fluttering wildly in the wind.
His eyes swept over the blood-stained soldiers in front of him. Without saying a word, he walked down from the chariot and walked in front of the soldiers. He knew many of the people here.
Every year, Luo Ren and he would personally deliver food and cloth to these soldiers on behalf of the government. Their children were all in public schools in Luo Kingdom.
The Duke of Luo Kingdom was probably the poorest among the Xia Dynasties, because it gave a large amount of wealth to these lowest-level officials.
"Cao Boyun, you have been with me for so many years.
Over the years we have fought against Weiguo and Dongyi, and you have been very brave.
Why are you here and you don't even dare to fight? "
Unexpectedly, Cao Boyun cried and said: "General, these years I have been following you on your expeditions to the north and south, and you have to be the first to ascend in every battle. When have you ever been afraid of death?
Even if I pour all the water from the Luo River, I can't repay the kindness that my office has shown me.
But there are really too many brothers coming out this time. If they all stay here, who will protect the lord then?
I have never seen the emperor among the kings.
I only know how to feed and clothe us. During the famine, it was the lord who would rather starve himself than let me be fed.
Take the blood of the Luo people and fight for the emperor's life. I will not surrender! "
Following his words, almost all the soldiers knelt on the ground and wept, looking sad, obviously having the same idea.
Luo Zhongshu raised the whip in his hand, but put it down anyway. There were also tears in his eyes.
The Luo Kingdom is the most strict in enforcing clan laws, but the feelings between the clans are much stronger than those in other vassal states.
“What you said is known to me, the general, and also to my lord.
But the lord still sent us here, why?
Because our ancestor is King Su!
Although you no longer offer sacrifices to your ancestors, the blood of your ancestors still remains in your bodies.
This blood is why you are fighting so hard now.
As descendants of King Su, this is our destiny.
Bangzhou's destiny will last forever, and Bangzhou's destiny will be like the sun in the sky!
More than two hundred years ago, the destiny of the Yin Shang Dynasty was ended, and the gods of the Yin Shang Dynasty also fell to the ground at the same time.
The mysterious bird of destiny descends and gives birth to Shang.
It has been sung for six hundred years by the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but are there still people offering sacrifices to it now?
Weitian's destiny is in Mu's hands.
It is not obvious that Su Wang's virtue is pure.
This is a poem praising the ancestor King Su. If the state of Zhou fell and the people of Zhou were hiding in Tibet like merchants, who would know the greatness of King Su? "
The sound of tears gradually disappeared. If King Su is the god of all Zhou people, then these princes and grandchildren of Su are fanatical believers.
"If we don't fight hard today, won't we be ashamed when we see King Su after we die?
If that day comes, I'm afraid I will regret not being able to protect Queen Su's reputation today.
Isn't this the most painful thing after death without the face to see the ancestors and gods? "
All the Luo soldiers were filled with fighting spirit.
"King Su once said that Kyushu was the land given by God to the Xia to survive, and the barbarians in all directions were thieves who stole the land.
Now these thieves want to occupy the magpie's nest and challenge Bangzhou, who has inherited the destiny.
If we can defeat them, King Su will surely be proud of us descendants in heaven. "
"Kill the barbarians! Kill the barbarians!"
All the soldiers waved their weapons, their voices full of anger, and they wanted to fight to the death with those Huaiyi immediately.
Luo Zhongshu sang a hymn in praise of King Su, and all the soldiers sang along.
“King Su’s spirit is in the sky, so glorious and bright.
King Su’s character is so pure that we must inherit it.
Follow the path of King Su's destiny, and your descendants will always practice it.
Children and grandchildren will always practice it! "
Yes, we are the descendants of King Su, and the path of destiny must be practiced forever, starting with us.
Under the sky, three thousand Luo clan's sons were holding sharp swords, and their murderous intent was so high that the princes and soldiers did not even dare to speak.
Luo Zhongshu put the bronze helmet on his head and shouted: "If we can't defeat Xu Yi today, I will face my ancestors without words and commit suicide here. All the Luo clan's children who are willing to fight hard will follow me!"
[Your family’s political credibility has increased]
[Your family tradition has changed, and the probability of loyal ministers appearing has increased]
[Your luck points begin to increase significantly]
[The world has undergone unpredictable changes]
Ji Zhao looked at this scene in the mist, his eyes were dark and became more and more bottomless. He looked up at the sky, where there was a group of extremely oppressive black clouds that even made him feel cold. Now they seemed to have dissipated. Some.
"The connection with Bang Zhou?"
He looked down at the Heroic Spirit Card in his hand and murmured: "The Hall of Heroes, the place where heroic spirits return."
His figure gradually faded and disappeared, leaving only a few vague words, "Pass the level...become a god...a heroic spirit."
Following Luo Zhong's several expeditions to the south and north, the brave warriors used by Luo Guo's office to suppress the four directions rushed towards Xu Yi like tigers.
The princes' army used all their archers to cover, and these three thousand elites attacked in batches. Once the first batch of three hundred people entered the scene, the effect was completely different.
It wasn't a very tall wall to begin with, but it only took a few charges to charge straight up.
The Huaiyi people were instantly horrified and didn't understand how these Zhou troops suddenly became so elite.
The reserve team was quickly mobilized and almost all means were used to attack these soldiers with obviously different equipment.
There were corpses everywhere above Xu Yicheng, and most of them were Huaiyi people. The soldiers who had not yet expired were rolling on the ground and wailing. There was no complete body left by any of the dead soldiers.
This tragic scene stimulated everyone's psychology. The psychological pressure caused by the death of a colleague in front of them is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
There was another round of exchange of bows and arrows. Countless arrows were hitting each other in the sky. After the attack and consumption regardless of casualties, the Huaiyi people's arrow reserves were obviously insufficient. Compared with the rain of arrows that filled the sky before, now Just scattered arrows.
This made Luo Zhongshu feel a little relieved. At least the casualties of Luo Guo's warriors could be slightly less. Relying on the protection of the shield, the elites could quickly rush forward.
The Huaiyi people can still handle ordinary long ladders, but the ladders specially prepared for siege are simply not something that this partial division can handle.
"The Black Armored Army is here again!"
The Huaiyi people on the top of the city shouted loudly, with a hint of panic in their voices. Some Huaiyi people could not even hold their weapons steady.
The Luo Guoguang warriors followed the wooden ladder and after suffering some casualties, they rushed up the city wall and started fighting hand-to-hand in teams of five.
Luo Zhong took the lead. He wore thick armor and even a copper mask on his face. His martial arts was also extremely high, and no one was his enemy.
Dozens of Huaiyi people surrounded him, but he easily killed three of them and fled in all directions.
More and more brave warriors rushed up the city wall through the torn hole, and the two sides fell into a complete melee.
After a melee, the Huaiyi people no longer had time to take care of the soldiers under the city. The princes' army got this opportunity and directly broke through Xu Yi's city gate according to Luo Zhongshu's previous arrangement!
These princely armies cannot fight a tough battle, but they can still bully the small ones with more people.
Under the leadership of the general, dense soldiers poured into the city gate with blood and corpses. The shield soldiers stood in front and completely wiped out the Huaiyi people who were still struggling.
The remaining Huaiyi people hid in the streets and tried to resist, but were picked out and killed one after another.
After several hours of fierce fighting, with the bravery of Luo Guo's brave warriors, Xu Yi was finally defeated.
Looking at the young faces lying dead, including his nephew, Luo Zhongshu knelt on the top of the city with red eyes, looking towards the south.
Those Huaiyi people are coming along Yingshui like a tide.
…
Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times. ——Wang Han's "Liangzhou Ci"
