I use martial arts to train soldiers in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118 50 troops gathered in Luoyang

On the way to retreat to the north of the city, Deng Wu deliberately detoured to the west of the city with his personal guards, wanting to see how the situation at the west gate was.Halfway on the way, I happened to run into Lu Bu who was leading the troops.

"Why is Feng Xian here?" Deng Wu asked Lu Bu.

But Lu Bu was questioned by Deng Wu, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Just now a messenger came over and sent the command of the main attack, asking me to lead the soldiers to the south of the city to meet the lord, this..."

Hearing Lu Bu's answer, Deng Wu's expression changed drastically and he said, "No, the west of the city is in danger!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly led the team across Lu Bu and headed west of the city.Sure enough, it didn't take long before he ran into He Man who had retreated.

Deng Wu's face was ashen, and he rushed to the north of the city with Lv Bu and He Man's defeated army.I kept praying in my heart that nothing would happen to Chengbei again.

All the way to the north of the city in fear, although there are many rioters on the road.But after reaching the northern boundary of the city, everything seemed to be in order.

The entrance to Baihu Street in the north of the city is filled with horses.Xu Huang led three thousand tiger and leopard soldiers to dismount and guard here.There are archers on the roofs on both sides, guarding the entrance.The rebels who arrived here would either put down their weapons and accept resettlement, or be hacked to death.

Seeing Deng Wu leading the troops coming, Xu Huang hurriedly ordered his soldiers to move away from the refusal horses and greet them.

Deng Wu asked Lu Bu to take his soldiers and horses to station in the northern camp first, but he stayed behind and shouted to Xu Huang next to him, "Xu Huang!"

"The end is here!"

"What's going on in the palace? Are the Queen Mother and Your Majesty safe?"

"Back to the lord! Not long after the lord led the soldiers away, a soldier came and attacked the palace without any explanation. The soldiers in the west garden that had just been rectified collapsed at the touch of a touch, and a small number of soldiers even directly bombed the camp. The last general had no choice but to go back. I went to the bedroom of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, and brought them here to the north of the city. Rest assured, my lord, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are all well and have not been frightened at all."

"Well! As long as you are safe, as long as you are safe!" Deng Wu said reassuringly.Then he asked: "Then where are the Queen Mother and Your Majesty now?"

"The Empress Dowager and His Majesty have been sent to the military camp in the north of the city, and they have fallen asleep now."

"Okay, I understand! Gongming will have to work hard for you tonight." Deng Wu patted Xu Huang on the shoulder and said.

"My lord, don't worry. Anyone who approaches this place within a hundred paces and does not put down their weapons will be killed without mercy. If there is a general here, my lord can rest in peace tonight." Xu Huang said confidently.

Deng Wu didn't speak, but patted Xu Huang's shoulder heavily, feeling very moved in his heart.

After crossing Xu Huang, Deng Wu took his soldiers and horses to the barracks and settled down.Lu Bu and He Man were recruited and asked about the situation.After asking everything clearly, Deng Wu only belatedly figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing.

It turned out that all of this was Li Ru's plan. When Deng Wu left the palace with his troops to check the south gate, he fell into Li Ru's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

First, he deliberately sent a troop to encounter Deng Wu's reinforcements.After counting the time, he pretended to be Deng Wu's messenger and went to send the general order to Lu Bu of Ximen.Lv Bu had long received Deng Wu's reminder to be careful of Ximen, but it was related to Deng Wu's general order, so Lv Bu still sent scouts to investigate the news.When the scouts arrived at the south gate, they did see Deng Wu fighting.So he went back and told Lv Bu. After confirming the news, Lv Bu was afraid that Deng Wu might make a mistake, so he took away most of Ximen's soldiers and horses, and rushed to support them.

Not long after Lu Bu left, Ximen was attacked from inside and outside the city.Under attack from both inside and outside, He Man, who already had few troops, was quickly defeated and lost control of Ximen.

Knowing the cause and effect, Deng Wu waved them back, and he was alone in the camp, dejected.This is the result of not having a counsellor. Although the soldiers are strong and brave, they cannot withstand the erosion of conspiracy and tricks.

………………

The next day, Deng Wu, who hadn't slept all night, got up to meet the queen mother and the young emperor, and comforted them, saying: Let them wait in the barracks with peace of mind, and send them back to the palace when the situation in Luoyang stabilizes.

After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor, Deng Wu ordered to count the losses of last night.After a while, the counting results made Deng Wu's heart tingle.

This time they went south and brought a total of [-] riders.Since entering Luoyang, after successive battles, more than [-] troops have lost their combat effectiveness. These are the soldiers he brought from Bingzhou!Unexpectedly, just in the battle of Luoyang, one-third of the number of troops was reduced.

Among them, more than 3000 people were killed, more than 6000 were slightly injured, and more than 2000 were seriously injured.

The first time Deng Wu went on an expedition with so many troops, he lost so many troops.My self-confidence was severely damaged and I fell into severe self-doubt.

Luoyang was in chaos for another three days, and finally calmed down. Now Luoyang is divided into three forces.

The original Luoyang soldiers and horses, including: Xiyuan Army, Yulin Army and City Guards, occupied the imperial palace and the east of Luoyang.On Qinglong Street, there are a large number of people stationed.

The Xiliang army occupied the west gate and south gate, and stationed a large number of people on Zhuque Street and Baihu Street in Luoyang.

And Deng Wu only occupied Luoyang's North Gate and Xuanwu Street.

Among the three forces, the original Luoyang has the most soldiers and horses, with as many as 15 horses.Xiliang was next, and Deng Wu had the fewest troops.

Three days later, He Miao took hundreds of civil and military officials and a large number of soldiers and horses to the Xuanwu Street controlled by Deng Wu to shout, asking Deng Wu to send the Queen Mother and His Majesty back to the palace to preside over the government.

Deng Wu asked people to reply that the Queen Mother and His Majesty had been frightened for the past two days and needed to rest for a few days, and everything would be dismissed after the Queen Mother and His Majesty recovered.

No words all night, the next morning.The scouts came to report that a large number of soldiers and horses from the west had arrived and entered the west gate directly.

Deng Wu was shocked, the reinforcements from Xiliang arrived so soon?A large number of scouts were sent to closely monitor the west and south gates.

He also sent dead soldiers to contact the secret agents lurking in the Xiliang army to find out the news.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the news was finally found out. It turned out that the Xiliang army was the one with the fewest troops.It is also necessary to control the two city gates and two streets of Luoyang, and the military strength is also stretched.

So Li Ru, the military strategist, planned to send two troops out of the city quietly in the early morning. The next day, they entered through the west gate and south gate with great fanfare.

To put it bluntly, it was to create a false impression for the former defenders of Luoyang and Deng Wu that reinforcements from Xiliang were arriving continuously.This plan only needs to last for three to five days. When the reinforcements from Xiliang actually arrive, everything is a foregone conclusion.

After Deng Wu learned of the Xiliang Army's plan, he didn't say anything, and followed suit.

Although Deng Wu's total force reached more than 5 people.But there are only more than 2 of them, and they are the direct soldiers and horses brought over from Bingzhou by themselves.The other 3 people are all recruited by the Xiyuan Army. After several defeats, this army has lost its fighting spirit. Deng Wu also has no ability to make the weak soldiers win, so he can only follow the strategy of the Xiliang Army , according to cats and tigers, until the arrival of Jia Xu and Gao Shun's army.

After another three days, Gao Shun's army and the Xiliang army arrived in Luoyang.Along with Gao Shun's army, Jia Xu, whom Deng Wu had been thinking about, also arrived in Luoyang at the same time.

The arrival of reinforcements from Gao Shun and Xiliang also changed the current situation in Luoyang. The troops of the three parties were roughly equal. More than 50 troops gathered in the imperial city of Luoyang in an instant.

With Jia Xu's arrival, Deng Wu found the backbone in an instant.The arrival of Gao Shun's army gave Deng Wu more confidence.
