After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

The rebel camp in front of Luoye City.

The east was already dawning and the sky was already bright.

At this time, the scouts sent out by Li Zhongwu at night also returned again.

"General, we have searched carefully and found no trace of the Northern Barbarian army within a radius of fifty miles." The scout said breathlessly, his face full of fatigue.

It was obvious that they had not slept all night and had explored the surrounding area thoroughly before returning.

Hearing this, Li Zhongwu frowned again and asked in a low voice, "Really?"

This time it was not that he doubted the ability of his scouts, but he really couldn't guess what the Northern Barbarian Military Advisor's intention was in setting up such a confusing situation.

"Could it be that they simply want to delay time?" He kept muttering to himself, with a thick layer of doubt lingering in his mind, and a constant feeling of bad premonition in his heart.

Now faced with this indisputable fact, he couldn't help but doubt whether he was being too cautious and hesitant.

Although he was extremely reluctant to believe it in his heart, the fact was before him and he had no choice but to believe it.

Seeing that there was no rebel army coming, the generals were eager to fight again and couldn't help saying, "General, since the northern barbarians haven't sent any reinforcements, what are we afraid of?"

"Yeah, these northern barbarians simply don't take us seriously. Since they act so relaxed, why don't we take this opportunity to charge and kill them?" said another person with fighting spirit.

"No!"

As soon as the voice fell, another person followed up and said, "Even if the Northern Barbarians have a conspiracy, we should seize the opportunity to attack before their reinforcements arrive."

"Otherwise, when the reinforcements from the Northern Barbarians arrive, it will be too late!"

……

More and more people are eager to try and ask to fight.

They had watched the Northern Barbarian Army in the city jumping in front of them for a whole day. It was really unbearable and they could no longer suppress their anger.

In their opinion, it is really frustrating to keep waiting like this and being submissive. Instead of doing that, it is better to give it a try. Even if the other party has an ambush, what can they do?

The war is imminent, and there will definitely be deaths and casualties. However, from the moment they set foot on the battlefield, they have already been prepared to die in battle.

"General, give the order. The brothers can't wait!"

"Yes, General."

"That's right, we have already prepared to die in battle!"

Seeing everyone eager to try, Li Zhongwu wanted to persuade them to be patient and make a decision after the situation became clear.

However, when he saw the raging flames of war in everyone's eyes, he hesitated and swallowed what he had just said.

Because of everyone's eager expressions, he realized that he was a little hesitant and afraid of this and that. Marching and fighting have always been based on decisiveness, so there is no need to be so hesitant.

So what if there is a trap?

They have fought hard battles since the Cangzhou Uprising until now.

Thinking of this, he faced everyone's serious gazes and said in a deep voice: "Well, if that's the case, then we will launch the attack immediately. Even if Luoye City is a den of dragons and tigers, we will break in today."

However, he paused and changed the subject, "But I'll be frank with you. If anyone deserts the battlefield, he will be executed according to military law!"

"Also, the Wu Dang Flying Army and the elite cavalry can only make a feint attack in this battle, and cannot attack the city with all their strength. The necessary elite troops must be retained to prevent any unexpected events."

"Yes, General!"

When everyone heard the words, their faces suddenly became overjoyed and they shouted excitedly in unison.

Although they were excited, they had not completely lost their minds and naturally understood the importance of retaining their strength.

What's more, they had already foreseen that the siege of Changluye City would be a protracted battle. If they lost all their elite troops at the very beginning, they would be real fools.

Soon, all the generals came out of the camp to boost the morale of their own nobles.

With the sound of a heavy horn, the rebel camp, which had been quiet for a long time, was once again filled with the sound of dense footsteps. The tide-like offensive swept towards Luoye City again.

The sound of the horn also awakened the Northern Barbarian Army in Luoye City.

Some people may ask, why do we need to blow the horn? The purpose of blowing the horn is to boost everyone's morale and arouse the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.

What's more, even if the horn was not blown, the Northern Barbarian Army was always keeping an eye on the actions of the rebel camp, so they would be able to detect such a large-scale offensive in the first place.

After hearing the horn, Xian Yu Anrong did not even take a rest and immediately climbed up to the city wall to check the current situation.

"General, the rebel army has launched an attack." The deputy general had a stern face and spoke in a deep tone.

He looked at the huge rebel army underground with a heavy heart. Even though he already knew that the rebel army would eventually launch an attack, he did not expect that the rebel army's attack would come so soon.

"Well, luckily it's not late at night."

Xian Yu Anrong nodded, but he was not worried at all. "The attack organized by the rebels this time seems a bit strange. It is so weak and poses no threat at all. Their elite troops did not show up."

Xian Yu Anrong is a veteran who has been through many battles.

As a veteran, he has done things like attacking cities and capturing strongholds countless times.

In a siege like this, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the enemy in one go, unless the gap between the two sides is too great.

Otherwise, two equally powerful people will have to fight a protracted war, competing for supplies and food, and seeing which side's will to fight collapses first.

The sudden attack launched by the rebels was obviously intended to test them and deplete their city defense supplies.

"What does the general mean?" The deputy general nodded as he looked at the situation in front of him, agreeing in his heart, "I'm afraid that the rebels are also unsure now, fearing that we have an ambush, so they didn't send out their elite troops to fight."

"Our primary goal is to buy time for reinforcements to arrive."

Xian Yu Anrong nodded and answered without thinking: "Since the rebels want to play with us, then we will send someone to play with them."

"Also, since the rebels have already attacked like this, there is no need for us to keep on being so nervous. Send the order to let the people on duty last night rest and have someone else replace them. We will start taking turns on duty now."

"What the general said is absolutely true."

The deputy general was Xianyu Anrong's old deputy, so he knew his thoughts very well.

As he said this, he ordered people to open the gates and send out 5,000 elite soldiers to fight. Since the locals sent some miscellaneous soldiers, it would be better to let them send elite soldiers to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, so as to boost morale. In this way, facing the tidal offensive of the rebels, the archers on Luoye City did not shoot arrows at the first time to delay the pace of the rebels' attack.

On the contrary, the gate was lowered, and the 5,000 elite soldiers inside rushed out like tigers descending from the mountains.

At this moment, the gate of Luoye City slowly opened, and five thousand elite northern barbarians rushed out like tigers descending from the mountains. Their battle roars were deafening, and even the sky was torn apart by their voices.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill all these Han people in front of you!"

The rebel army outside the city felt extremely aggrieved and eager to fight. Wasn't it the same for the Northern Barbarian Army inside the city?

A series of failures had already made their pent-up anger on the verge of exploding. Now that they had the opportunity to fight and kill all those Han people, how could they refuse? How could they be soft-hearted?

Hysterical roars continued to emanate from their ferocious faces, and they rushed towards the rebels fearlessly with weapons shaking in their hands.

When the two armies met, a fierce battle broke out immediately.

The clanging sound of metal clashing filled the air, and the cries of grief mixed with the roars of battle.

"Kill!" A Northern Barbarian soldier roared, and the long sword in his hand flashed a cold light and slashed straight at the rebel soldiers in front of him.

The rebel soldiers were not afraid, they rushed forward, waving their weapons, trying to block the fatal blow. The weapons of the two collided in the air, making a clanging metal sound that was deafening.

Some northern barbarian soldiers even took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the rebels who were fighting fiercely, but his sword strike on the back only drew a streak of sparks on the iron armor behind him.

After a sharp metallic whistling sound, the rebel who was attacked was found to be still intact. The knife attack did not cause any harm to him, but only left a shallow mark.

"I'm fine, I'm actually fine!"

The soldier laughed wildly after the robbery, and became even more vicious towards the Northern Barbarian soldier who attacked him, "You were the one who attacked me?"

As he said this, he abandoned the enemy in front of him and rushed towards the man, shouting loudly: "Your Highness King Wu is mighty!"

He understood that if it weren't for Lin Zhongyun's armor protecting him, his life would have been over.

Seeing that the weapons of the Northern Barbarians could not break their armor, the people around them became more eager to fight and shouted in unison: "Mighty King Wu!"

"King Wu is mighty!"

"King Wu is mighty!"

For a moment, the fighting spirit was surging, and the elite troops sent by Xianyu Anrong were defeated step by step.

This was created by Lin Zhongyun by combining the armor made in the Ming Dynasty. Both the forging technology and the technique have reached a level far beyond this era.

At this moment, Lin Zhongyun's hard work finally came in handy.

At this time, someone in the Northern Barbarians' camp saw this scene and immediately shouted, "Don't look at their armor, attack their leaders or ankles."

After all, these northern barbarian troops were elite troops. After a brief retreat, they immediately adjusted themselves and launched a new offensive against the rebel army.

This time, they did not attack in large numbers like before, but instead attacked the areas where the rebels were not covered by armor.

Although this method of attack made them very unskilled and troublesome, they were not facing elite troops after all, so there were no major casualties for a while.

In this way, time passed by, but the battle on the field had already reached a white-hot stage. At this time, the Northern Barbarians had completely given up defense and rushed straight to the face of the rebels.

Although the rebel army had a large number of soldiers, their formation began to waver when facing the elite troops of the Northern Barbarians.

Even though Lin Zhongyun's armor greatly improved their combat effectiveness, they were still unable to defeat these experienced northern barbarian elites.

In addition, after realizing that the rebel forces before them posed no threat, these elite northern barbarians attacked desperately, pouncing on them like tigers, which was frightening.

Gradually, facing Li Zhongwu's first test, these elite northern barbarians began to advance with overwhelming advantage.

Corpses began to pile up on the ground, blood soaked the soil, and the tragic scene on the battlefield was horrifying.

Despite this, the rebel soldiers still took new steps on the corpses, rushing towards the enemy like a tide.

The people in front fell down, and the people behind took over. The scene of one after another fighting was actually happening on the battlefield at this moment.

What made this scene possible was a living life!

"Stop them!" the rebel commander roared, trying to stabilize morale.

His voice sounded weak and powerless on the battlefield, but the soldiers around him burst into even louder roars and rushed forward with all their might.

Even though they already knew that the result of rushing forward like this would be right under their feet, they still did not look back.

Because they understood that this was not only for His Majesty the King of Wu, but also for their homeland thousands of miles away.

Above the battlefield, Xian Yu Anrong had been observing this scene from the beginning. He had a stern face for several days, but at this moment he finally forced out a smile.

at last,

I finally gained the upper hand over the Rebels!
Xian Yu Anrong sighed in his heart, and with this long sigh, the gloom in his heart dissipated a lot, and he became much more relaxed.

During these few days, he had to be on guard against possible sneak attacks from local rebel forces at any time, and at the same time, he had to deceive himself and his subordinates again and again to stabilize their morale.

No one understood better than him how depressed he had been these days without any reinforcements.

He understood that this battle was at most the result of Tian Ji's horse racing. After all, they had sent out the best of his best troops. If they were defeated, that would be a real disaster.

But even so, this victory still made him feel a lot more relieved.

At this moment, cheers rang out from the entire city wall, and everyone took this opportunity to vent the dissatisfaction and depression that had accumulated during this period of time.

They were even on top of the city walls, waving their weapons and cheering on their compatriots who were fighting bloody battles below, so much so that they had already surpassed the gradually declining rebel army in terms of morale.

Listening to the constant cheering, Xian Yu Anrong smiled, shifted his gaze to the rebel camp in the distance, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that your attack this time actually helped me. I just don't know how you will attack next?"

He looked at the rebel camp in the distance, his eyes filled with a cold and stern light.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a sentence that the military advisor used to like to say: If you were the enemy, what would you do next? (End of this chapter)
