The Child Emperor

Seeing that the Su Wei rebels on the battlefield were all like wolves and tigers, the Luoyang soldiers who had just arrived all turned pale.

Aocang is built along the river, with a wharf on one side, which is used to receive food from all parts of the Kanto. The whole city is slightly lower, and the Chu army and the rebel army are fighting fiercely outside the city. Can overlook the entire battlefield.

When the two armies fought, they would try their best to seize the high ground, but the two armies outside Aocang City abandoned the high and the low. Obviously, this was an unexpected battle. Han Ruzi could imagine that after Chai Yue led the army to arrive, he would definitely find that the rebels were ready to fight. Set fire to the city, and had no choice but to launch an attack immediately.

"Array!" Han Ruzi ordered loudly.

The Luoyang army began to form in a panic, with the southern and northern armies and Hanguguan army guarding the formation.

"Your Majesty, I really want to persuade this time: the soldiers are exhausted, and the enemy army is overwhelming, this battle is not easy to fight, it is better to wait a little longer." The King of Donghai had to persuade that if the emperor joined the war, he could only follow, And no matter how you look at this battle, there is not much chance of winning.

Shangguansheng's Suwei rebels were supported. They were also a group of bandits, with thousands of them. Their armor and clothes were very messy, but the same black scarves were wrapped around their heads. Unlike the bandit army outside Luoyang City, this group The number of black-headed robbers is slightly smaller, but the battle is very organized, the advance and retreat are well-founded, and the shot is ruthless. After knocking down a Chu army, there must be several swords and spears stabbing at the same time, leaving no openings.

"If the refugees in the world are not allowed to return to their hometowns as soon as possible, sooner or later they will become as difficult as the black-headed army." Han Ruzi knows best, but an army always becomes stronger and stronger. army.

"Don't think about refugees, we've been discovered." The East Sea King stretched out his horse whip, and the Su Wei rebels had the upper hand, and they could even split a force to attack the unsettled reinforcements.

Han Ruzi turned his head and glanced at it. His army was indeed too tired, especially those soldiers from Luoyang. Because of their haste, they were not fully equipped, and some of them were even empty-handed. Their fighting spirit was almost exhausted on the march. If it wasn't for the emperor's personal supervision , turned around and ran away.

"Dismount!" Han Ruzi ordered, jumping to the ground first.

The East Sea King hesitated for a moment, and could only do as he did, reminding in a low voice, "Leave a way back."

Han Ruzi ignored him, supervising the soldiers to dismount and put their horses to the rear. The soldiers were condescending, waiting for the arrival of the enemy. There were only two or three hundred crossbows in the army, so Han Ruzi let them shoot at will.

"Do you know the origin of these black-headed troops?" Han Ruzi asked.

The King of the East Sea hurriedly shook his head, "I've never even heard of it. Your Majesty, if you don't retreat, I can only carry you and walk away, and I will admit to being guilty afterwards."

The first to come was a black-headed army, with only a thousand people. It was obviously a fight, full of contempt for the newly arrived reinforcements, and they wanted to be defeated in one fell swoop.

Han Ruzi retreated to the top of the slope, surrounded by guards. From this moment on, it was difficult for anyone's orders to spread to the whole army. Whether to fight or retreat, whether to win or lose depends on each person, team, and team. Select individually.

The Luoyang Army had never seen such a formation. The formation was obviously retreating, but it was stopped by the last row of soldiers and could not retreat any further.

How did Henan Yin support Taifu Cui to defeat the Qi rebels? Han Ruzi was deeply curious.

The King of the East Sea said in a lower voice: "These guys can't last long."

"That has to persist, at least until Cui Hong arrives."

The King of the East Sea looked back, the road was ups and downs, how could there be a shadow of the Chu army? He groaned in a low voice, "Even if his own son is in danger here, Cui Hong may not come to save him, not to mention that Cui Er is drinking and having fun in Luoyang city."

Han Ruzi ignored him, didn't look back, just stared at the black-headed army that was getting closer and closer. They were all riding horses, and their speed dropped sharply after going uphill.

The experienced soldiers of the Southern and Northern Army reprimanded the Luoyang soldiers in front of them and ordered them to raise their spears.

Long soldiers and the advantage of the terrain may be able to deal with the horse army.

The black-headed army was killed and collided with the Luoyang army on the front line.

The front line of the Chu army was very thin, with only three or four rows. The southern and northern troops were in the formation. At this time, they all charged forward with their guns and fought alongside the Luoyang soldiers.

People and horses, knives and guns, roars and shouts collided fiercely. The comparison was not about agility, nor the sharpness of knives and spears, but which side had greater strength and firmer will.

Han Ruzi was only a few dozen steps away from the battle line, and everything was in sight.

This was the first time the King of the East Sea was so close to the battlefield that he was so frightened that he didn't turn around and run away. He had nothing to do with the emperor. The only reason was that his legs were weak and he couldn't move.

Some black-headed troops broke through the thin front line of the Chu army. They didn't recognize the emperor, but when they saw the flags fluttering, they believed that this must be the main general, and rushed forward with weapons.

The emperor's guards were relatively well equipped, and they immediately bent their bows and shot arrows to prevent the black-headed army from approaching. Thirty guards tightly surrounded the emperor and formed the last line of defense.

Han Ruzi didn't draw his sword, he stood in the circle, his eyes swept over, he ignored the black-headed army that came over, and only stared at the entangled battle lines. Under the hostage, there is no sign of retreating.

He glanced into the distance again and said to the East Sea King, "Well, Chai Yue is back."

The King of the East Sea was dumbfounded, his eyes fixed on a black-headed army rushing towards him on horseback. The figure was like a thin and thin Fan Zangshan. His body was also covered in blood, and his expression was even more ferocious. Careful, holding a big knife in his hand, he continued to charge, and he was about to break into the circle.

The King of the East Sea felt that he could smell the blood on this person.

Another arrow was hit, and the black-headed soldier finally fell from the horse.

Only then did the King of the East Sea look up blankly. A part of the Chu army outside Aocang City came back to rescue him. They recognized the emperor's flag.

The black-headed army, who had gone deep alone, was scattered, leaving behind a corpse. They misestimated the resilience of the reinforcements, thinking that they could attack more with less, but they were attacked by both sides.

Chai Yue rushed to the emperor. He did not join the battle, but commanded the battle very close to the battlefield. As soon as he found the abnormality in the rear, he immediately brought troops to rescue. For him, the emperor was much more important than Ao Cang.

"Your Majesty..." Chai Yue jumped off the horse, and just said two words, Han Ruzi raised his hand to signal him not to say more, and then said: "Cui Hong's army will come soon, please General Chai to establish a front here, no Back again."

"Yes." Chai Yue quickly ordered to rearrange the formation, the infantry lined up in line, the cavalry guarded both sides, leaving a passage in the middle for the retreating Chu troops to pass through, giving them room to maneuver.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and the Chu army was fighting the rebels outside Aocang City.

Han Ruzi mounted his horse and stood by the side of the road, letting the guards shout "Your Majesty is here" to the rushing Chu army.

The rout was stopped, and after discovering that the emperor had really arrived, most of the soldiers turned around and regrouped, ready to fight again.

The Su Wei rebels and the Black Head Army followed, and the front of the Chu army was not yet fully formed, and the two sides fought again.

Su Wei's rebels killed many palace servants in the capital. They had long lost the idea of ​​being pardoned. They fought very bravely. When they saw the emperor's flag from a distance, not only were they not afraid, but they were even more courageous. The black-headed army was even more desperate. The way of play, I heard that the Emperor of Chu was nearby, and the morale became more and more high.

"Kill the fake emperor!" The arrogant shout came clearly, and the rebels and the black-headed army admitted that it was another emperor.

Chai Yue ran over on horseback, and Han Ruzi waved to him, ordering him to return to his original position to continue commanding and not to meddle in his own business.

Every time the retreating Chu army gathered a group, Han Ruzi put them into the battlefield, and it didn't take long for him to have no soldiers available.

Chai Yue was an excellent general, but at this time, he had no choice but to carry it hard. He could only remind the soldiers around him over and over again: His Majesty is behind him, and the main force of the Chu army will soon come to support him.

The emperor was indeed the biggest motivation for the Chu army to persevere.

The battle was stalemate. After all, the Chu army was small and forced to retreat step by step.

"Your Majesty, if we don't leave, we will fall into a heavy siege." The King of the East Sea was not as frightened as at first, but he could see more clearly that the Su Wei rebels were attacking the two flanks.

Han Ruzi was also very anxious in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, staring at the front, and sent a few guards to the rear to check how far Cui Hong's army was.

He believed that Cui Hong would come, because Cui Hong's messenger had never been interrupted, so Han Ruzi was able to get the news and knew that Cui Hong was also chasing the emperor non-stop, and he was not far away.

The Chu army only needs to persist for a while, and they can turn defeat into victory.

Shangguansheng had been indulged for too long, and Han Ruzi hoped that he could be eliminated today to avoid future troubles. The refugees all over the world, the Xiongnu in the north, the possible powerful enemies in the west, the bandit chaos in the south, the inaction ministers, the hidden contradictions in the palace... He still has too many important things to solve urgently.

After noon, Cui Hong's army was nowhere to be seen, and the war between the two armies became more and more chaotic. Chai Yue tried to persuade the emperor to retreat three times, but was driven back by Han Ruzi. If he moved, the Chu army in front would definitely be defeated. It's hard to say if you can't escape the enemy.

There was a sudden confusion of the enemy troops attacking from the front, as if they were being attacked from the rear.

Han Ruzi had already retreated to the top of the slope, and he could not see the situation on the other side. Chai Yue sent someone to deliver a letter: Ao Cang City sent troops to fight, and they were harassing the enemy behind.

Both sides did their best in this battle. Except for a hundred guards and guards, the emperor had no one soldier. Shangguan Sheng also sent all his troops to kill or capture the emperor. The great victory of Qiankun.

This attack on Aocang City was just right. There were very few troops in the city, only less than a thousand people. It was difficult to defend the city, let alone attack. However, Shangguan Sheng was eager to win and ignored the rear. There were not many soldiers left by his side. Cang Jun saw the opportunity, and he was the one who attacked.

Chai Yue kept sending people news that Shangguan Sheng was not as calm as the emperor. As soon as he found out that he was attacked, he immediately called back the soldiers on the front line, which caused wider confusion: the rebels also couldn't tell the difference between retreat and collapse, but No one can bring them back together.

But more people didn't receive Shangguansheng's retreat order at all, and they still insisted on fighting, but the pressure on the Chu army was slightly relieved, and they could hold on for a while longer.

The King of the East Sea had long since paid no attention to the battle on the front line. He turned his horse's head, kept staring at the official road behind him, and finally shouted excitedly: "Reinforcement! Reinforcement is here!"

The King of Donghai wept with joy, and suddenly felt a little irritated. Cui Hong was so active in saving his son-in-law that he had never cared so much about his nephew.
