Wei Chenliang was indeed very puzzled. He thought he had heard it wrong. Although his heart skipped a beat, he shook his head when he thought about it.

It has been confirmed that Qin Shaoyou led the main force of Chen soldiers under Hangu Pass. Since this is the case, the thief army at Hangu Pass will never appear here. Even if they set off now, it will be more than twenty days later. He is a few steps away from Luoyang. When they come back, the daylily has turned yellow.

These are neither the main force of the bandit army, so where did the army come from? Most of them are just some defenders garrisoned near Luoyang. The horse exploration has already returned. The army and horses in Luoyang are only more than 10,000, and just this... they are still deployed to defend everywhere, so where did most bandit army come from?

This may be just a trick to set up a suspicion array. When Wei Chenliang thought of this, he calmed down and quickly ordered someone to explore again.

But the news that I searched again was even more terrifying. There were huge Shence Army and Five Military Camps in the west and north of their camp. The number of people was estimated to be more than 50,000. At this time, they were coming from two routes, and they were not stopping at all with lightning speed.

At this time in the camp, Wei Chenliang was drinking with the governors and would enter Luoyang tomorrow. Therefore, today is particularly critical. In addition to the deployment of siege, how to divide the spoils. Everyone understands that Luoyang has almost no city to defend, and there are almost no city walls. Once the army arrives, people inside and outside Luoyang will be slaughtered. There are also poverty and wealthy places in Luoyang. For example, to the east, it is the famous Luoyang Horse City, which is the most famous livestock market in Luoyang, and there is also the East City, so the most wealthy businessmen gathered. In the west, although there is a West City, it is mostly retail, and it is all small-scale transactions. It is far from the East City.

Of course, the richest place is the north, near the northern city of Mengjin, where there are many workshops. There is no end to see at first sight, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of steel and tens of thousands of pieces of silk are produced every day. In addition, various commodities are piled up like mountains. It is also the residence of the Shence Army's general money house. It can be said that more than 60% of the wealth in the entire Luoyang is gathered there.

Since you want to advance, you cannot be in chaos, otherwise it is easy to have internal strife. After all, the divisions have different ownerships, and it is like a group of mice falling into a rice jar. It is inevitable to have disputes over wealth. The best way is to go back to their own houses, look for parents, and each division finds a place to attack each other. The winding paths are clear, so as to save the trouble.

These governors have their own wishful thinking. Everyone knows that the North City is the best place to go. If they lead their troops to occupy there, they will be the most common small soldier overnight, and they will probably get rich. What's more, these governors are even more worthless.

Therefore, although he was drinking, he was happy. However, there were many clever tricks in his words. This time, Wei Chenliang was determined to win the Beicheng. Not to mention anything else, this time he was the pioneer of his troops. Is it a great benefit to be polite to others? But he knew in his heart that this alone might not convince people. Therefore, he was determined not to show his voice, and let them fight with the clam first. When everyone was having a long time of trouble, he would do the "harmony" himself.

But at this time, when the accurate emergency report came, the wine cup in Wei Chenliang's hand hit the ground with a slight slam, and it fell to pieces. Wei Chenliang's face was pulled down, and he couldn't help but say, "Is the news accurate? How could this be? Where did the thief army come from? Where did the thief army more than 50,000? Could this be the trick of Qin Shaoyou's suspicion? Is it clearly the main force of Qin Shaoyou is in Hangu Pass. Did they have wings?"

Immediately, Wei Chenliang couldn't help laughing, but this dry laugh seemed a little unconfident.

Although he said this, this was a repeated confirmation of news. What he knew very well was that if the Shence Army or the Five Military Camp fell from the sky, his plan to capture Luoyang would be completely ruined.

What's more...

He felt something bad in his heart. He said, staring at the scout, hoping that the scout would hesitate at this time, saying a few ambiguous words, saying that it was indeed doubtful to make him relieved, but the scout said without hesitation: "Governor, this is the exact news. The scout camp also felt that something was strange, so it was absolutely right to take a risk and test it. It was all elite thieves, all equipped with crossbows, and even found artillery in their rear team. Almost everyone was well-trained, and it was impossible to set up a suspicion array."

Speaking of this, the big tent can be said to be silent, and the falling needle can be heard.

"Where did these people come from?" someone said in surprise.

In fact, this idea can't help but have arisen in everyone's mind, how did people... come from it?

At least in their understanding, it is obvious that the large army can not be so swift. If it is just a small team of people, it is easy to leave. However, the vast army is not so easy. Just like these tens of thousands of coalition forces heading north, plus the civilians transporting food, there are a total of 300,000 people. The winding team stretches for hundreds of miles, and the two wings may be dozens of miles apart. Therefore, before sending troops, in order to ensure food and fodder, food and grass must be carried out first. More than 100,000 people cannot set out in one go. Instead, they are divided into dozens of squads and advance in one go. They may not know where the other party is, so they often decide a stronghold in advance and specify a gathering position.

For example, when preparing to attack Luoyang, everyone will decide to assemble here, and the pioneers will advance first, then arrive here, set up camps, and then, one after another, and there will be a group of civilians transporting food and grass. This process will take at least five to ten days, and the army can be assembled, and then an attack can be launched.

In short, marching and fighting is by no means a joke. Even with such plenty of time, not all military horses can arrive at the assembly point on time. Some military horses may be lost, some may be delayed along the way, and some may lose information. All the possible situations may occur. After all, more than 100,000 people are by no means more than 100,000 pigs. People are different. Everyone has their own ideas and their physical qualities are different. The only thing that restricts them is military law. However, the use of military law is only a deterrent, and it is still still

There are many shortcomings. After all,... the military law requires that the military officer system from top to bottom can abide by the same standard, and this... is obviously too difficult. Military officers are also human beings, and they also have their likes and dislikes. When they meet someone they hate, they may not violate the military law. They have to give you a few whips. When they encounter someone they like, even if they violate the military law, they can be exempted from punishment. Since military officers are mixed together, the effectiveness of military law will naturally be greatly reduced. If they cannot be punished for violations, they will be awe of military orders, and thus the entire military horse will be subject to orders.

Not only that, because the vast army needs supplies and people have to eat and drink, so food and grass are the most important. Even if you want to march in a hurry, if you go too fast, food and grass supply will become a big problem. But the people responsible for supplying food and grass are recruited civilians. The so-called old, weak, sick and disabled people have limited daily foot strength after all. If your army and horses are too fast and too fast, leaving the civilians far behind, the result can be imagined.

The process of marching and fighting is the most strictly prohibited. In other words, when you win the war, you can deal with your spoils at will. Even indulging your subordinates to plunder the people will not have any problems. However, during the war, plunder is a taboo. On the one hand, if you plunder, you will definitely delay time. In a village, you will always need dozens of soldiers to rob, but one by one, even if you can rob a few pigs and thousands of kilograms of grain, you may not be able to supply these dozen soldiers for a long time. Once this happens, those people who originally adhere to neutrality will be different. Anyway, if you want to rob, the local government will naturally resist fiercely in order to protect itself, which may bring many unnecessary damage.

In short, it is absolutely impossible to replenish local supplies. Before taking Luoyang, the coalition forces were quite concerned about military discipline. They had finally assembled for so long and waited to start attacking Luoyang in one go. However, they never expected that Qin Shaoyou's bandit army was so fast that they came here from Hangu Pass in the short period of the assembly.

This... is simply a heavenly soldier and general.

Wei Chenliang didn't understand why this situation happened. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that even if he understood it, it would be meaningless. The most important thing now is to face the battle, and time is urgent.

He had no choice but to smile coldly: "Even if the other party is in a hurry, you don't have to worry. They will be exhausted when they come in a hurry. We will wait for it and make sure they can't afford to leave."

When he said this, he was not very confident, but just to boost other people's morale.

The mighty army and horses advanced together, and Qin Shaoyou was in the team of the Shence Army.

The ninety thousand army was divided into two groups, one of which was a 15,000 Shen Ce Army, which rushed directly from the west, with its target directly aimed at the other party's camp.

In addition, the number of people along the way was as large as 70,000 to 80,000, and quickly occupied various high grounds, bridges, ferries, and then troops were deployed on both wings, forming a surround.

Qin Shaoyou obviously had a very clear purpose this time. He wanted to completely wipe out this coalition force at the fastest speed.

It's not a defeat, it's annihilation.
