Chapter 1013: The Triumph Division
Liang Xiao was overjoyed. When the rolling dark clouds suddenly flashed like a silver snake, and thunder rolled up. He was wearing a straw raincoat and with his personal soldiers, he went down to the construction site. He shouted: "Hurry, hurry, be prepared, be prepared to dig the river bank, hurry!"
As he said that, Wu Yue also hurried over with people on the other side. He walked in the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow. At this time, the rain had already fallen and hit his face. He looked rosy and wiped his face, saying, "Governor Liang, can you start?"
"This is the best time." Liang Xiao smiled and met Wu Yue: "After a few hours, we will teach Luoyang City to become a marsh country. After a few days, we can enter Luoyang. The most popular thing in military strategists is water attack. This is not unreasonable. Once the river bank collapses, it can reach 100,000 elite soldiers."
"Yes." Wu Yue nodded and whispered orders to the personal soldiers behind him.
Under the urging of military officers, the soldiers of Chu Yue carried whips and began to urge the civilians to work. A civilians rolled in the mud and shouted: "My family is downstream, my family is downstream. Jun Ye, this river bank cannot be undone. Once it is undone, the villain... the villain..."
The Chu soldiers who urged him showed hesitation on their faces. After all, people's hearts are fleshy. Chu Yue was originally in the south, where water was densely populated and rivers were flooded. They still remembered the losses they suffered.
The soldier was stunned on the spot and was at a loss.
A military officer behind him kicked the soldier and said sternly: "What are you doing while standing there?"
The soldier rolled in the mud, and was already unkempt.
At the same time, the military officer went to the civilian with a cold face and sneered: "This is the order of His Majesty the Emperor. Who dares not to obey? You are so brave. Today, let alone your relatives, even if you are the king of heaven, you will be overwhelmed."
As he said that, he pulled out the knife and slashed the sword light, and the man's head immediately rolled into the mud.
When the others saw it, they were all silent. Countless people looked miserable. Then someone shouted: "When the work starts, whoever dares to be lazy will be the end of this person."
Under the urging of countless civilians, they all stood naked and barely in the mud, heading towards the mouth of the river embankment.
Someone had already prepared gunpowder wrapped in oil cloth and buried it in the designated river bank. He only wanted to ignite it a few times, but found that the leads were extremely damp and there was no way to do anything.
But later, there were still people urging me to make it, and they had to try again and again.
Wu Yue was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was time, and it would be better if the rain fell for a while. He was wearing a straw raincoat and stood in the hills and looking at the world watered by rain. He could not help but sigh: "To be honest, once the water rushes down, these people below are afraid that one out of ten will be left. It is really cruel."
Liang Xiao had a cold face. His hooked nose was soaked by the rain. The rain dripped down the tip of his nose. He pressed the knife at his waist: "I want to blame it, just blame Chen Kaizhi. If he hadn't overestimated his ability, if he was still in Luoyang, how could this end? The catastrophe of hundreds of thousands of people must be counted on him. A person who is unable to protect himself and is delusional to the so-called righteousness will not only die, but also involve thousands of people. And we are just taking advantage of the situation."
Wu Yue frowned: "But I heard that there is no news about the Hu people, right? Logically speaking, they should be in a hurry to contact us at this time. Only in this way can they take the opportunity to threaten us, especially before we take down Luoyang. Otherwise, when we completely occupy Chen's land and gain a firm foothold, it will be too late for them to go straight in."
Liang Xiao had a gloomy face: "What do you mean?"
Wu Yue said: "These few days, my eyelids have been leaping. I wonder if the Hu people deliberately spread the news, but in fact..."
"You mean... Chen Jun is still there?"
"It is not without this possibility. In fact, we have been sending secret sentries to inquire outside the pass, but there is no news about these secret sentries so far, just like a stone sinking into the sea."
Liang Xiao laughed: "Then I'll ask you, can the 100,000 Chen army resist hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry? What do they use to resist? Really rely on firearms? No matter how powerful the firearm is, it will be limited. Besides, his new army is just a group of new recruits. Brother Wu, don't worry, if we are not sure, why should we..."
"Governor...Governor..."
At this time, someone was running wildly in the mud.
Liang Xiao frowned and couldn't help looking at the source of the sound.
But he saw a lieutenant coming in a hurry. He was running very quickly in the rain. His feet slipped and fell, but he quickly turned over. He whispered: "Governor, Governor... Exploring the Horse News, Exploring the Horse News... Five miles away, he found the traces of the thief army. Governor... A thief army attacked here..."
Wu Yue and Liang Xiao subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes facing each other, with suspicion.
How could a military horse attack at this point in time?
It's just a joke.
However... Recently, many nearby Chenrenxiang Gongs and some nearby stragglers will organize to resist. Occasionally, the Chu army and the Vietnamese army will encounter some attacks, which is almost the norm. With the Chu army and the Vietnamese army storming the nearby areas, there are fewer and fewer such stragglers.
But even if someone attacks, why are you so afraid?
The man had rushed all the way to the hill, bowed to the puddles accumulated by the rain, and then gasped heavily.
Liang Xiao smiled and said coldly: "Who else is the clown who dares to come to die? If they want to die, it is not easy, so I will naturally help them?"
"Yes...yes...a cavalry, cavalry..."
Liang Xiao's smile disappeared suddenly.
This smiling face also became stiff, and obviously, he became silent.
It's a cavalry.
Ordinary scattered soldiers and village warriors rarely form large-scale cavalry. After all, cavalry is expensive and cannot be done without enough military horses. Even if there are war horses, it is not easy to support them, let alone expose themselves very easily.
If it is a cavalry, the only possibility is that it is a military horse outside the capital of the Great Chen Jing, and it is quite large.
