"Good! Good! Good! You're very good! When our army passes by Bian Province in the future, you have to send your two jars of Immortal Drunken Wine to me! "
Zhengzhou's Zhecong Residence's camp.
Lieutenant Ji of the ninth camp was immediately energized when he heard Liu Rengui mention Immortal Drunken Wine. His eyes lit up as he looked at Liu Rengui with admiration.
Although the Immortal Drunken Wine was commonly seen in Chang 'an City, it was priceless in the local counties. Generally, only high-ranking officials and wealthy families had the right to enjoy it. Therefore, Officer Ji couldn't help but be tempted by it!
"Of course! I only hope that Lieutenant Ji can let us take a look at it when the time comes! I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me, but I haven't seen my wife for almost two months after the curfew in Guan County! "
Liu Rengui said with a hoarse voice.
This was where he was smart. If he blindly flattered Ji Zhongsheng without asking for anything, it would be easy for Ji Zhongsheng to feel that he had a bigger scheme in mind. Now that he made such a reasonable request, Ji Zhongsheng felt that he could only flatter Ji Zhongsheng because of Gu Nianzhi's family, but it wouldn't make things too difficult for Ji Zhongsheng.
"Haha! Small matter, small matter! Ren Daniu, I've heard about your matter from the military governor. As long as the army passes by Bian Province in the future, I'll give you half a day off to visit your family. Once you've made enough contributions, the military governor will let you go back! "
Ji Zhongsheng patted Liu Rengui's shoulder and laughed.
Liu Rengui cupped his hands and said, "Hehe! Thank you, Lieutenant Ji. However, my brothers and I have changed our minds. We won't leave even if we make great contributions. We want to follow behind the Provincial Governor to make contributions and be conferred the title of Marquis! We hope that Lieutenant Ji can guide us in the future! "
Ji Zhongsheng burped and then gave a thumbs up. "Haha! Good! Good job! You have the same thoughts as me. Why can't we be conferred the title of Marquis and enter the imperial court? Burp ~!
"Yes! Lieutenant Ji! "
Liu Rengui cupped his fists in response, then left the room.
Just like that, they settled down in the camp of the House of Subjugation. But when he thought of Ji Zhongsheng's words, "We should be leaving the city tomorrow morning", Liu Rengui couldn't help but worry. Leaving the city meant going to war, and war meant going to war with allies. This was something he didn't want to see. After all, he was only pretending to surrender, not really!
…
"Dong dong dong!"
The next morning, at the first glimmer of dawn, the sound of drums could be heard in the camp of the House of Surrender. Then, the soldiers of the various camps began to shout, "All soldiers, get up immediately and gather at the drill ground. Those who are not there in fifteen minutes will be flogged 30 times!"
"All soldiers, get up immediately and gather at the drill ground. Those who don't arrive within a quarter of an hour will be flogged 30 times!"
The soldiers in the tent immediately moved when they heard the sound.
"Old Feng, go and wake the brothers up. Don't get beaten up later!"
Liu Rengui got up from the bed and quickly put on the armor that was given to him yesterday. Then, he shouted to Feng Wu who was next to him.
This was the quality of a soldier!
Compared to the people who had just joined the camp, Liu Rengui's group was undoubtedly much stronger!
A quarter of an hour later, at the drill ground on the east side of the camp, the 50,000 new recruits who joined yesterday and the 20,000 veterans who were in the camp before this gathered here. Of course, there were also many who came late and were being beaten at the side!
"Since you are in the camp, all of you have to follow the rules. Whatever the higher-ups tell you to do, you have to do it! The next time there is someone who is late, the punishment will be doubled! "
The House of Subjugation's Lieutenant Cui Quan stood on the podium and said with a gloomy face.
The new soldiers were hard to lead. This was within his expectations. Although he didn't expect the new soldiers to have much fighting power, as soldiers, they had to listen to orders.
The seventy thousand soldiers on the drill ground suddenly became silent.
Cui Quan paused for a moment and then said, "Generals of the various camps, today we are going to march into Luoyang. Let all your soldiers take their weapons and dry rations and immediately leave the city. Gather with the other two armies and go straight to Luoyang!"
"Yes! Lord Lieutenant! "
The entire camp immediately became lively. The sounds of weapons clashing, the shouts of the generals, and the noisy footsteps entered the ears. Half an hour later, all the soldiers were ready and the army headed straight for the south gate of Guan Cheng County.
On the way, they happened to meet the other armies that Cui Quan had mentioned. The Cui family originally had two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. Yesterday, they had forcefully recruited a few middle-aged men. In total, they had three hundred thousand soldiers!
Liu Rengui, who was advancing with the army, was secretly complaining. He thought to himself, "Didn't Wei Zheng say that the battle wouldn't start yesterday? Why is the army leaving the city now?"
The city gates opened and the three hundred thousand soldiers left the city in succession. The villagers outside the city all made way when they saw them.
But at this moment, the ground began to tremble. Outside the city, on both sides of the official road, countless black-armored cavalry suddenly rushed out. All of them were covered in thick armor, even their heads were covered, only revealing pairs of cold eyes!
They were like killing gods from the abyss of hell, holding modao in their hands as they rushed towards the army that had just left the city!
"Kill!"
The leading cavalry raised the modao in his hand and roared. Immediately, the cavalry rushed over at an even faster speed!
"Ah? It's the imperial court's army! The imperial court's army is here! Quickly run! "
"The imperial court's army is here! Quickly run! "
This cavalry formation was too powerful. Even from afar, one could feel the murderous aura emitted from their bodies. As for Zhengzhou's Zhe Chong Residence's troops, the ones who were walking in front as cannon fodder were all new recruits. When had they ever seen such a terrifying cavalry in their lives?
Their survival instinct did not allow them to have the courage to raise their swords to fight. Instead, they directly ran away!
Initially, Cui Junchuo's original intention was to use these new recruits who had no combat power as cannon fodder. After all, since ancient times, attacking a city required the sacrifice of human lives. However, Cui Junchuo did not expect that once the battle went south, the first to collapse and flee would be these new recruits with weak willpower and low military literacy!
And their collapse would not only disrupt their formation, it would also greatly affect the morale of the army!
"Do not flee! Those who flee before battle will be killed without mercy! "
The generals of the various battalions were all veterans. When they saw the situation, they drew their swords from their waists and cut down a few fleeing soldiers as they roared loudly.
But this did not stop the soldiers in front from fleeing. This was because the black armored cavalry brought even greater fear to them! If they were asked to fight, they would rather die!
This was not an army of the human world!
In the blink of an eye!
In the blink of an eye, the black armored cavalry had already charged into the midst of Zhe Chong Residence's army.
"Puff puff puff!"
When wolves entered a flock of sheep, their warhorses first sent countless soldiers flying. Then, with a swing of their swords, heads fell from the sky!
To the black armored cavalry, no one was a match for them. It was like chopping vegetables. They only needed to charge forward, swing their swords, and reap the lives!
"Spare me! Don't kill me! I don't want to rebel! Uh … "
"Run! Run! "
The soldiers in front of the troops turned around and desperately ran towards the city gate. They did not want to face this group of evil spirits!
Zhe Chong Residence's army was instantly thrown into chaos!
"Black Armored Army? This is the Black Armored Army? "
Liu Rengui belonged to the ninth battalion. His position was not very close to the front. When he saw the formation of the black armored cavalry, he suddenly thought of something. His face was filled with disbelief!
"Old Feng! Tell our men to retreat in the chaos. Don't fight with the Black Armored Army! "
Liu Rengui pulled Feng Wu over and whispered.
"Yes!"
Old Feng replied and quickly went to pass down the order.
Zhe Chong's Commandant, Cui Quan, happened to be 30 feet away from the city gate. He sat on his warhorse and looked up. He could tell that the cavalry in front of him was the unparalleled Black Armored Army. He quickly exclaimed, "Quick! Adjunct Huang, order all the soldiers to retreat immediately! Retreat into the city! "
"Commandant, although these cavalrymen are fierce, there are at most three to five thousand of them. We have more than three hundred thousand soldiers. What is there to be afraid of?"
Huang Cheng had never left Zhengzhou in his life. He did not know that they were facing the Black Armored Army. Therefore, he was very confused by Cui Quan's order!
"What do you know? They are the Black Armored Army! Retreat now! "
Cui Quan was not stupid. He knew that Li Shimin was able to defeat Wang Shichong's army of one hundred thousand with his three thousand five hundred Black Armored Army. Even though he had three hundred thousand soldiers with him now, they were just small fries. The strength of these three hundred thousand soldiers was far inferior to Wang Shichong's army. How could they defeat the Black Armored Army?
Therefore, after Cui Quan explained, he turned his horse around and galloped back into the city!
"Black Armored Army! They are the Black Armored Army! "
Huang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Although he had never seen the Black Armored Army with his own eyes, how could he not have heard of them? At this moment, he was scared out of his wits. How would he dare to fight them? He quickly shouted at the messenger, "Retreat!" and took the lead to escape!
"Retreat! Retreat! "
The Zhe Residence's army outside the city gate changed from the rear to the front and ran into the city!
"Not good! The city gate is about to close! Brothers, quick! "
When they were about four to five feet away from the city gate, Liu Rengui saw two soldiers starting to push the gate open. He quickly shouted at his brothers.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
More than two hundred men used all their strength and ran towards the city gate. At the last moment, they finally managed to rush into the city before the gate closed!
The one thousand soldiers who had not entered the city in time put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender when they saw that the city gate was closed!
