despair!
Deeply despairing!
It came from the hearts of the six people in the field and from the hearts of the Han court princes. If we can't win like this, how many more people are needed to defeat Zhang Jiao?
Zhao Yun is the one who cannot accept it the most because he knows the most about martial arts.
A Taoist once said that his martial arts is firmly among the top three in the world, and once he enters a desperate state, even the best in the world may not be his opponent.
But he looked left and right, how could he be Zhang Jiao's opponent even if he tried his best?
He asked with emotion: "Zhang Julu, who are you? How could someone like you appear in the world at this time? Why can you grow up so fast?"
This is actually what the other five people are thinking. They are all people with extremely high martial arts talents. Lu Bu's existence can be understood, but Luo Xiao's existence cannot be understood. Why can he do it without going through many life and death tribulations? Standing at the pinnacle of martial arts?
It would be fine to say that he was a military leader like King Xiang, but that was not at the level that people could imagine.
But when Zhang Jiao killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he couldn't kill him instantly. In this short period of time, his progress was too obvious. This kind of progress can only be described as weird.
Luo Xiao recalled the countless broken starlights when he defeated the big man's destiny. Those starlights penetrated his body and then spread to the world. The people in front of him may have been contaminated by those little starlights.
After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Luo Xiao smiled with emotion and said: "I have said before that the Han Dynasty will be defeated and its destiny has been lost.
The reason why there is still an Emperor of Luoyang now is just because the people of the world have not seen him yet.
I just respectfully carried out the emperor's will, so that everyone in the world could see the fact that the Han Dynasty had lost its destiny, so naturally the world was invincible. "
Whether it was the six generals in front of the formation or the Qin Wang princes in the formation, their expressions changed dramatically when they heard Zhang Jiao's words. This was not the first time Zhang Jiao said this.
From the time Zhang Jiao started to raise his righteousness, he said that the Han Dynasty had lost its destiny. At that time, everyone regarded it as a joke. Even those who had evil intentions in their hearts did not think that the Han Dynasty would be defeated by a small farmer. Perished in the face of an uprising, after all, the Han court was not full of treacherous ministers like the late Qin Dynasty.
But when Zhang Jiao defeated Huangfu Song, some people began to feel uneasy.
But as King Qin's army rose up in the world, people's hearts quickly settled down. No matter what happened to the royal family after King Qin, the Han Dynasty would still not be destroyed. At most, it would just be a few more powerful ministers or semi-separated princes.
When Zhang Jue won a series of battles and even directly defeated Yuan Shao's coalition forces, the fear in the hearts of countless people became more and more profound. Until now, Zhang Jue was smiling with a trace of emotion, but his expression was so serious. It is said that he followed the emperor's will to kill the great man.
Most people still don't want to believe it, because they have been born among the Han people since they were born. If the Han people were destroyed, who would they be?
Just like those people who lived between Qin and Han Dynasties, are they Qin people or Han people?
The body will give them a feeling of being at a loss for what to do, and no one likes that feeling.
But Yuan Shu's eyes in the formation became darker and darker. If Han Ting's destiny was really lost, would Zhong's destiny be lost?
Wushuang Hou Luokong was even more devastated when he heard this. He rode out into battle, causing a commotion. Guan, Zhang and Zhao quickly gathered around him, looking at Luo Xiao with eager eyes.
Luo Kong took a deep breath and said: "Everything depends on man, man will conquer nature.
Not to mention that the destiny is still there, what if the destiny is really lost?
In the late Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu could be appointed again, but it may not be impossible now. "
Why do you keep saying that you will be appointed again? Why can Liu Xiu’s temple name be that of his ancestor?
Because Liu Xiu failed when he took over the throne of Zhu Xia as the Emperor of Han Dynasty. Later, he conquered the world by himself, and the throne of Zhu Xia fell to him again. This is called being appointed again.
Only an emperor with the blessing of the emperor's throne is sacred, and no ministers dare to usurp the throne and seize power. If he is just an emperor, many people will be ready to take action. After all, God does not care about you. You are just a political leader, nothing special. As long as everyone supports me, I can also be a political leader.
Luo Kong's words were very strong, but Luo Xiao could hear a deep hidden despair in them. Among the thousands of troops, Luo Kong was the only one who knew Zhang Jiao's identity. He knew that Luo Xiao never aimed at nothing, so Luo Kong was the most I believe that Han Ting has truly lost his destiny.
Now Luo Kong was in a state of confusion. After saying this, he went straight back to the formation, and a voice stayed where he was, "Whether it's fate or not, King Qin's army is here, please come and fight."
After returning to the formation, Jia Xu whispered: "My lord, you shouldn't have said those words just now."
Luo Kong whispered: "Wenhe, if the destiny of the great Han Dynasty is really gone, where will the world go?"
Jia Xu's whole body trembled when he heard this. He forcibly restrained his expression and body. His eyes were full of disbelief. He looked at Luo Kong and his voice suddenly became hoarse, "Master, this will take a long time to deduce." , now we can’t reach a conclusion.”
Luo Kong looked at Jia Xu deeply and said, "Wen He, if I can't bear the burden of this world, I will write a letter to Zhaocheng for you."
Jia Xu's heart was filled with endless turmoil. He didn't know why Luo Kong suddenly acted like this. He had some guesses in his mind, but he fell into deeper doubts. Who is that Zhang Jiao?
Why did the Lord hardly question what he said, but instead directly considered the issue as a fact that the Han court's destiny had been lost?
It was too late for Jia Xu to think about it, and it was too late for all the Qin kings and princes to think about it.
Because Luo Xiao stood in front of ten thousand troops, and the bloodstains of six ten thousand enemies were still left on the horses. He fought six of them alone and won. The morale of the Taiping army was at its peak, while the Han army was already suffering from losses. The morale was a little low, and now that I had witnessed Zhang Jue's invincible figure, the morale was even lower to the extreme.
How could Luo Xiao give up such a good opportunity?
When it comes to fighting against generals, you can't always think about winning, but what should you do if you lose and lose your morale?
The princes of the Han army obviously did not think that they would have to bear the consequences now. Luo Xiao rode on the horse, raised the horse pole high in his hand, and then waved forward heavily.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
The majestic and fierce sound of war drums sounded in the Taiping Army's camp. Amidst the intensive drumbeats, the most elite infantry of the Taiping Army pressed forward with their shields in accordance with the previous drills. They were uniform and orderly. At first glance, it was clear that A rare elite in the world.
Especially the infantry at the front, wearing the thickest armor, are all strong and round warriors, able to hold a large shield in one hand and attack with a sword in the other.
This is a heavy-armored battalion that Luo Xiao did his best to draw equipment from countless state and county arsenals.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was called the king, but this is actually inaccurate. Of course, cavalry has many advantages, but heavy armored infantry is actually the pinnacle of combat effectiveness.
The Wei soldiers of the Wei Kingdom in the past were this kind of product. They were considered half warriors because they dared to ride horses.
For a powerful force, the two are like two legs of a person, one is indispensable, especially the cost of heavy armored infantry is relatively not as high as that of heavy armored cavalry, and the number is generally larger.
Now, the heavy armored infantry that Luo Xiao spent a huge amount of money to build has ushered in its harvest season.
The entire Taiping Army, no, I should say the entire Taiping Dao, Luo Xiao's transformation of Taiping Dao started from the organizational level. Taiping Dao is a typical integration of military and civilians. Young men and women from Taiping Dao were selected for training, and the transformation was also carried out from the organizational level. .
An army with strong organization will have strong combat effectiveness. This is the conclusion Luo Xiao drew from countless military books. In the military books, it is described as "orders and prohibitions". Many generals will deliberately train soldiers to obey orders, but Luo Xiao directly learned from how to make soldiers obey orders. The fundamental reason why soldiers obey orders is to transform.
The Taiping Army's combat power has increased so quickly because of this. Orders and prohibitions are best reflected in the infantry.
Of course, before King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou of Shang, he asked his soldiers to attack for seven or eight steps at the swearing-in meeting, and then stop and organize, and follow the sound of war drums to advance. Now the Taiping soldiers are also in the sound of war drums, Moving forward with uniform steps.
If you look at it from the side, you can see that the large shields in the hands of the first row of Taiping soldiers are almost in a straight line. No soldier is in the lead. There are only relatively narrow gaps between the large shields to allow the first row of soldiers to pass. The soldiers can wave the spears and lances in their hands, but the soldiers in the second row will also raise their large shields to block this gap, giving the enemy archers no chance at all.
Faced with the steady suppression of the Taiping infantry, Huangfu Song knew that he had to fight. The sound of the Han army's war drums also began to sound. This time he put the main force of the court frontally because he was aware of the danger. The Taiping infantry The soldiers are somewhat elite, and if the princes' army cannot withstand them from the front, they will be completely doomed.
"Marquis Wushuang, please lead the Western Region cavalry to harass and attack the Taiping Army from the right. I will hold the heavy armored infantry in the front, and the archers behind will be handed over to Marquis Wushuang. If we can defeat the Taiping Army from the flank, then naturally It couldn’t be better.”
There was no expression on Luo Kong's face. The princes all looked at him, recalling what Luo Kong had just said. Of course Luo Kong knew what they were thinking, but he didn't care.
After hearing Huangfu Song's words, Luo Kong just looked at everyone deeply, and then said: "Everyone, we are all ministers of the Han Dynasty.
Eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor. You must know that there is still a word of loyalty in this world. Loyalty is as great as heaven!
Regardless of whether what Zhang Jiao said just now is true or false, I hope you will keep this in mind.
Wushuanghou will live and die with the Han Dynasty! "
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The roar of countless war horses came, and even from such a long distance, you could feel the trembling sound of the horses stepping on the ground. Then you saw a torrent rushing out of the formation, and the unparalleled flag was fluttering in the wind.
Luo Kong's words were still echoing in everyone's ears.
"We are naturally loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Who wants to be the disloyal and unjust person?"
"Marquis Wushuang is really a sincere minister. If he were not in the Western Region, adding five surnames and seven families would probably be enough."
"Five surnames and seven families? I'm waiting here to immerse myself in blood. Where are they? When I go back to Guandong to eliminate the bandits, isn't it just to go back and preserve the family?"
The huge pressure of life and death when facing Zhang Jiao made many people very dissatisfied with the Five Surnames and Seven Families who left early. Why can you return to Guandong Xiaoyao while we are working hard here?
In fact, all the princes of King Qin knew that the Five Surnames and Seven Families must leave, because it was impossible to stay here and be loyal to the court.
These Qinwang princes are not afraid of stealing their homes. The soldiers come from the county, but the five surnames and seven families are different. They are real princes.
The core of the army are the people raised by the family for generations. The families of those soldiers are in the princes, and the princes are the size of a county. If they are directly attacked, it is no exaggeration to say that the army will explode in an instant. The British Marquis Luochuan is about to It was because I knew this that I agreed.
The initiator of all this was the sudden destruction of Yuan Shao's coalition forces, which caused an imbalance between the combat power of the Kwantung Taiping Army and the imperial court, and suddenly shattered the mentality of the princes to the soldiers.
Even back to Guandong, the situation is not easy. The Lu family is still trapped in Qingzhou. There are not many Taiping troops in Qingzhou, but there are too many other bandits.
If Linzi and Jimo were not both important cities, I am afraid that the Lu family would be the first super wealthy family to be attacked. But if this continues, it will be a matter of time. In the last years of the Qi Kingdom, the princes fled in all directions. Again.
In fact, when the Taiping Uprising broke out, many scholars were already trapped in various states and counties. However, for these scholars, the problem was not too big. As long as they hid in the mountains, no one would go out of their way to It is very safe to look for them, especially in places like Jingzhou. The Taiping Army mainly broke out in those states and counties in the Central Plains.
Huangfusong had already heard these voices of people venting their dissatisfaction, but he didn't pay attention to them. In his opinion, these were all trivial matters. No matter how much you complained, nothing would change. It was better to think about how to solve the problem. The Taiping offensive was repulsed.
If possible, what Huangfu Song wanted to do most was to hold on to the city. He had been holding off the Taiping Army. When he couldn't win in the field, this was the most correct thing to do. When Emperor Gao faced King Xiang, he just held on to the city.
But now the imperial court cannot afford to delay. There is neither a strong city like Xingyang to defend nor a stable rear area, so it has to fight continuously with the Taiping Army in the field.
The painful feeling of this kind of strategic persecution tactics made Huangfu Song feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood. Now he hoped that the Five Surnames could pacify Guandong, so that both sides could attack from both fronts and backs, and the imperial court would not have to worry about the Taiping Army running the Guandong prefectures and completely alienating the imperial court. Divide the world into two parts.
Luo Xiao now understood Han Ting's thinking and couldn't help laughing. Han Ting was going to keep fighting with him.
"Then crush Han Ting! This is your destiny!"
————
The princes were speechless and unconscious, but they said with emotion: "I follow the emperor's destiny and revolutionize the Han Dynasty's destiny, so I am invincible in the world. You can tell me."
The princes were excited and apprehensive, and Du Kong was angry and said: "The fate of destiny is unknown, but human power can only be done. I make false claims, but I have my own sharp edge to revive myself. With my unparalleled destiny, I can save the great man from collapse!" - " Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Wushuang Hou Family
