Chapter 634

Outside Yongzhou City, more than 1600 Yongzhou soldiers were devoured by tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves driven by the he people. Not long ago, they had just tasted the joy of victory and had just killed a cavity of pride. In a twinkling of an eye, the tusks of wild animals tore their bodies and souls to pieces.

This is a huge army of wild animals. It is impossible to count the number. Xu Qingzhi, who finally returned to Yongzhou City, went straight to the city wall and looked out with a thousand miles' eyes. At this time, his men and horses have been completely submerged and can't even see the flag. In the boiling of the beast, you can vaguely see the corpses running from time to time, incomplete.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his hand holding his eyes trembled.

At the back of the beast army, at least 200 elephants walked side by side. These elephants were like the commander of the beast army. The beasts were driven forward by them. He people sitting on elephants with horns hanging are the brains of commanders.

"Decades ago..."

Luo Qiu, governor of Pingshang road standing beside Xu Qingzhi, sighed: "After defeating the Shang army, the southern expedition of the great Sui Dynasty also encountered the beast army controlled by the he people. It was the most memorable but not the biggest loss since the great Sui army went south. At least 10000 soldiers died... Thirty years have passed, and I almost forget that the he people still have such means."

Xu Qingzhi put down his eyes and shook his head, "but we don't have the troops at that time."

As a general, he naturally knew that period of history very well. At that time, the southern expedition army of the great Sui Dynasty was victorious and morale was like a rainbow. After defeating the main force of the Shang state on the Bank of the Yangtze River, there was almost no resistance. In that case, the beast army of the he people gave the Sui army a blow in the head.

At least 10000 elite soldiers were devoured by wild animals and suffered heavy losses.

Later, relying on a large number of arrow arrays, the army of wild animals was disrupted by fire and rain and powerful crossbow carts, and the chariots dressed as monsters were pushed forward, which scared the wild animals back again and again. But in that war, more than 40000 arrow arrays were used, including more than 80000 troops. A large number of chariots were built and enough one was prepared It was only in June that he people were completely defeated.

But now, the archers in Yongzhou City are barely more than 10000, and their quality can not be compared with the southern expedition army of the great Sui Dynasty at that time.

Fortunately, now they defend the city and the he people attack the city. No matter how strong the beast army is, it is impossible to climb the tall Yongzhou City.

"Don't go out of town to fight again."

Although he didn't know anything about military affairs, Luo Qiu also knew that there was no chance for Yongzhou soldiers to win in front of abnormal troops such as he people. Now Yongzhou soldiers have a total strength of more than 20000 people, which is not too tight to defend the city. But once they go out of the city to fight, these 20000 people are meaningless.

"What I'm worried about is..."

Xu Qingzhi said with some disappointment: "after a long sleepiness, the morale of the soldiers will be low. Originally, the night attack out of the city, the victory and return, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was inspired. I didn't expect that the follow-up brigade of the he people came so fast. It was too late for me to return."

Instead of blaming the soldiers for the defeat, he attributed it to himself.

Although the main reason for the defeat was that the county soldiers were too slow to implement his orders. The county soldiers were greedy for the things of the he people. Xu Qingzhi urged the team several times before they reluctantly gathered up. But at this time, the soldiers were covered with booty and the retreat was not fast.

Even so, Xu Qingzhi knows that the fault lies in himself. The generals should be more courageous at that time. If the soldiers who do not execute the military order are punished immediately, others will not procrastinate. Besides... The soldiers have been killed, how can he bear to blame the dead?

Moreover, it was a group of dead people who didn't even leave the capital.

"Wait for reinforcements."

Luo Qiu was silent for a moment and said, "the flying pigeons from the North send a message. General Fang Xie of the black flag army has arrived at the South emblem road with tens of thousands of fine riders. It is estimated that the slowest will be Yongzhou in half a month. All he brought are cavalry, which is most suitable for going out of the city to fight. No matter how strong and savage the he people outside, we don't need any more headaches."

Xu Qingzhi was stunned and didn't speak.

He understood Luo Qiu's meaning. All the cavalry brought by Fang Xie must not be used to defend the city. And Fang Xie didn't bring infantry, which means that he didn't plan to defend Yongzhou. But there are tens of thousands of wild animals outside. What use can cavalry be even if they are elite?

In front of those fierce beasts, the war horse can only shiver!

"One thing..."

Luo Qiu hesitated and said, "I've always wanted to discuss with you, but I don't know how to speak... I'm very relieved that the responsibility of guarding Yongzhou City should be entrusted to you. After all, you've been with me for many years, and I know your ability. After you led the army, you worked hard and did nothing wrong, and I'm more secure..."

"I understand."

Xu Qingzhi's face changed slightly, and then smiled with some bitterness: "when general Fang arrives, I will hand over the command. Yongzhou is important, and the humble position is not unreasonable."

Luo Qiu's face was happy, patted him on the shoulder and said, "gentleman, what I value most is you. But don't worry, no matter what the final result is, it's yours sooner or later, okay?"

Xu Qingzhi made a sound. No one saw his clenched fist and the green veins on the back of his hands.

Jiangbei Road

Firefox City

The imperial army has been defeated seven times in a row. The little butcher Luo Xiaotu and the Yong army attack day by day. The generals in the Imperial Army are unstoppable. He is cold and rebellious, but he has real talent and learning. His martial arts are extremely outstanding. When he comes to the battlefield, he becomes a fierce beast, which makes his enemies scared.

A while ago, Luo Yao handed over the command of the army to him, and then went to pangba camp alone. Luo Xiaotu knows what Luo Yao is going to do. Now only he and the mysterious general Mo know Luo Yao's cultivation. Just before Luo Yao left the camp, Luo Xiaotu just thought that King Yong was an ultimate martial artist with nine grades and was invulnerable to weapons, but that's all.

He did not expect that Luo Yao, king of Yong, had reached a height he could not see. On that day, Luo Yao just used a few means, which surprised him. It was at that time that he realized how naive it was to think that he was very close to Luo Yao.

On that day, Luo Yao isolated himself, so the people in the camp didn't know what happened and thought the light was strange.

However, just because Luo Yao showed his strength, he knew that Luo Yao should really put himself in important position.

In recent days, he and his army have been putting pressure on the imperial court, forcing the imperial army to the north of Firefox city. Xu Xiaogong and Liu enjing, two veteran generals of the imperial court, were defeated.

Early in the morning, Luo Xiaotu came out of the camp with 100 personal soldiers and went directly in the direction of the Sui army camp. He didn't inform other generals, but few people had such courage. When several other generals knew, he had led people through the ruins of Firefox city.

The two armies are about 20 miles apart. There is no danger to rely on in the north of Firefox city. Because there is a piece of ruins in the middle, the scouts sent by Luo Xiaotu are ambushed and killed by Sui army experts ambushed in the ruins of Firefox City, so they don't know much about the Sui army.

Instead of avoiding the ruins of Firefox City, the party broke in directly. Luo Xiaotu knew the ruins and must have ambushed many experts, but he didn't care.

Shortly after entering the ruins, a cold arrow was shot out of the dark and went straight to Luo Xiaotu's face. Luo Xiaotu raised his hand to catch the arrow when it was almost in front of him, and then threw it back to shoot the ambush Sui army scouts to death. The body fell off a broken wall and hit a piece of dust.

All the way north through the ruins, Luo Xiaotu killed at least more than 20 Sui army scouts with good martial arts, including a practitioner of more than seven grades.

After passing through the ruins, Luo Xiaotu accelerated his horse and went directly to a few hundred meters outside the Sui army camp. In this way, he strangled his horses and raised his eyes to check the layout of the Sui army camp.

With a buzzing sound, a crossbow shot out of the camp, banged at a place less than two meters away from Luo Xiaotu, and the excited gravel flew high. After Luo Xiaotu's body, the soldier's horse was startled, but Luo Xiaotu didn't even move, still holding his eyes for a thousand miles to observe carefully.

This move angered the people in the Sui army camp. About ten minutes later, a team of about seven or eight hundred cavalry rushed out of the Sui army camp and went straight to Luo Xiaotu. The Sui Army thought that the hundred and ten people of the Yong army would withdraw immediately. Who thought that Luo Xiaotu slowly put down his eyes and took the big name off the winning hook.

"Kill some people before you go."

He said a faint word, and then urged the horse to rush forward. His own soldiers knew the general's temper and rushed forward with Luo Xiaotu without even persuading him. In the face of an enemy seven or eight times their own, they had no fear at all. What happened later made the people in the Sui army camp frightened and angry.

The Yong army of 100 people followed the general wearing silver armor. Unexpectedly, it was a charge. It cut the cavalry of the Sui army, took the war horse and killed it again. There were less than half of the Sui army of 700 or 800 people. The rest of the cavalry did not dare to fight, so they turned around and retreated.

Luo Xiaotu hung up the big dog, gave a disdainful cold hum from his nose, and then raised his eyes to observe again. Unexpectedly, he had no intention to withdraw.

Not long after, there was another chaos in the Sui army camp, followed by a senior general with more than a thousand cavalry. Luo Xiaotu met the enemy again, stabbed the Sui general face to face, and the Sui army cavalry fled.

"Let's go"

Luo Xiaotu seemed to be a little satisfied after killing and retreating the Sui army twice. He took people to go, but another team of about 2000 people rushed out of the Sui army camp, as if to pursue. Luo Xiaotu scolded a group of flies and drove his horse back to kill them for a while. He shed blood all the way. The Sui army was defeated without exception.

After killing and dispersing the Sui army for the third time, Luo Xiaotu picked up a long stick from the ground, and then fiercely threw it at the Sui army camp. With this throw, the long stick flew straight out for 300 meters. With a precise bang, it poked on the flag pole of the Sui army. If the flag pole was not thick enough and strong enough, the battle flag would be cut off.

"After the destruction of business, the Sui army could not pick out anyone who could fight."

Luo Xiaotu was disappointed and turned away.

Xu Xiaogong, who had just heard the news, looked at the young man's back and couldn't help scolding him. He was about to order his fierce generals to pursue, but Liu enjing stopped him.

"Don't chase. The man came straight through the ruins of Firefox City, which means that the scouts we arranged in the ruins have been pulled out. If the soldiers rush out, they won't be ambushed. I can't say... At this time, there are rebels in the ruins of Firefox city."

Xu Xiaogong stamped his foot heavily and was extremely angry.

Outside the city, Luo Xiaotu, who was walking slowly back on his horse, shook his head slightly and seemed even more disappointed.

"General, how did you guess that the Sui army didn't dare to chase again?"

Luo Xiaotu was silent for a moment and only answered two words: "afraid of death"

"When my father comes back, maybe I should ask him if he can change his name."

He murmured.

The soldier was surprised and asked, "what name does the general want to change?"

"Take the small characters and change their name to luotu."

He said.
