Boom, boom, boom.
Just as the fighting was going on in the city, a burst of war drums suddenly sounded outside the city.
"Rush!"
Sima Zhao took the lead, leading three thousand light cavalry, and went straight to the gate of Luoyang City to kill him. This frightened the defenders on the city tower into confusion.
"Quick!"
"The rebels are coming."
"Archer,
Prepare."
The defenders on the top of the city immediately bent their bows and set up arrows, preparing to attack Sima Zhao, who was about to charge.
However, Sima Zhao didn't care about them at all.
They only know one thing now, that is, there is trouble in Luoyang City, and the shouts of killing in the city resound through the night sky. Sima Yi immediately ordered his son Sima Zhao to lead the cavalry in the lead.
Of course——
The cavalry is also dispatched for the convenience of coming and going.
If there are no big moves in the city,
Cavalry can retreat faster than infantry.
Similarly, if someone in the city attacks the defenders,
By taking advantage of the chaos and opening the city gate, the cavalry can quickly enter the city and join the friendly forces in the city.
The situation developed so fast that the Luoyang defenders panicked for a moment.
There is a small group of rebels in the city who are attacking the city gate, and Sima Yi outside the city seems to have known the situation in the city. He wants to strike while the iron is hot, which will cause trouble for the Luoyang defenders.
"Kill!"
In the city gate, a junior high school student shouted loudly: "The general is here, kill! Kill!"
There was only one gate left between them and the outside of the city. Naturally, they could hear the shouts of killing and the sound of drums and trumpets outside. When they learned that General Sima Yi had launched an attack, they had struggled to resist. At this time, the situation suddenly changed.
Reversal.
The first is the defenders who just rushed out of the military camp.
Except for some of them who continued to attack the rebels who were fighting out of the streets, most of the remaining people rushed towards the city. They had already heard the shouts of their companions on the city.
Sima Yi outside has already come to kill him.
Divide some of the troops and go to the city tower,
In terms of the number of defenders under the city, it was difficult to gain a numerical advantage. At the same time, Captain Yang and the others, who were originally going to block the defenders in the barracks, took the opportunity to rush to the city gate to help their companions open the city gate.
p>
"Quick, quick!"
"Open the city gate."
"As long as the city gate is open, the general can enter the city."
A young general was slashing with his sword while commanding the soldiers who were opening the door.
Zhiqua——
With the efforts of more than a dozen soldiers, the closed city gate was slowly opened. Through the gap in the city gate, they could see the charging cavalry.
"Quick!"
A soldier yelled, and more than a dozen soldiers immediately used all their strength to force open the city gate.
Just——
As soon as they pushed the city gate open, they were attacked by the defenders who rushed from behind.
Of the dozen or so soldiers who opened the door, no one survived; they were all chopped to the ground.
"Kill!"
Seeing that the companion who opened the door was killed, and the defenders wanted to take advantage of the chaos to close the city gate, how could they let them succeed? In an instant, dozens of people rushed over.
Just when the fighting at the city gate was in full swing, the cavalry outside the city had already rushed to the city gate, but they encountered countless arrows fired from the city top, causing their casualties to be quite high.
However, Sima Zhao had already seen that the city gate had been opened and fighting was going on at the gate. They could not continue to stay outside and be shot by arrows.
"Rush!"
"Come with me!"
Sima Zhao split the arrows fired from the city, rushed into the city gate, and then hacked and killed the defenders indiscriminately.
"General!"
A small school hurriedly shouted: "General, hurry into the city, there are generals here to block you."
"Drive!"
When Sima Zhao heard the sound, he waved his whip and led more than two thousand cavalry into Luoyang City.
As Sima Zhao's cavalry entered the city, Sima Yi followed behind and led 20,000 infantry to kill them. They came from the front and rear.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, the west gate of Luoyang was filled with shouts of killing.
Half an hour later.
Sima Yi's 20,000 infantry had already entered the city. In order to use the fastest speed and the lowest cost, Sima Yi's infantry had just entered the city, and Sima Zhao's more than 2,000 cavalry withdrew from the battle. They went straight to the palace to kill.
p>
"Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately."
"Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately."
Downstairs of the city gate, Sima Yi led his soldiers and horses and had taken control of the city. However, there were still two to three thousand defenders on the city gate, and they still wanted to resist.
However, Sima Yi did not intend to kill them all. After all, no matter how many soldiers were killed, what was the point?
Forced surrender——
"Soldiers," Sima Yi shouted loudly: "We are all soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, soldiers of the emperor. The emperor's army has entered the city, so you should not suffer any more fearless casualties."
"Your Majesty has a decree!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
Two to three thousand people, facing 20,000 people, although the sergeants guarding the city are all direct troops of Cao Yu, they are facing life and death, and they are facing the general Sima Yi.
They surrendered.
Those who surrender will not be killed.
Sima Yi did it. For all the surrendered defenders, Sima Yi handed them over to Sima Division for control, while Sima Yi led a large army to kill the palace.
By the time Sima Yi's army arrived at the palace, Sima Zhao had already launched three rounds of attacks on the palace. However, facing the tall palace city, Sima Zhao, who mainly used cavalry, still had some difficulties.
Moreover, Cao Yu seemed to have guessed that Sima Yi was likely to break through the city gate, so Luoyang City originally had 30,000 defenders, but Cao Yu allocated 10,000 to guard the palace city.
"Father!"
Sima Zhao said with some annoyance: "There are too many guards in the palace, so it is really difficult to capture it."
"It doesn't matter!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Now the overall situation has been decided, Cao Yu has been defeated."
Although the palace city has high walls and deep walls, after all, the palace is not as big as Luoyang. What's more, now that the entire Luoyang has been captured, is this palace still missing?
"Hurry and invite your Majesty!"
Sima Yi gave instructions to the primary school.
"No!"
The small school immediately agreed, and then took a group of cavalry to invite the emperor Cao Rui.
"Father!"
"Are you still attacking the city?"
Sima Zhao pointed to the palace and asked. In his opinion, if the palace is not captured, the battle will not be won. However, Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "Stop attacking, just surround the palace."
"No!"
Sima Zhao responded and arranged for soldiers to surround the palace.
Twenty thousand troops are more than enough to surround a palace.
Inside the palace——
Cao Yu was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot. Ever since he learned that the city gate had been lost, he had been pacing the royal study.
That’s right——
He has been pacing in the imperial study room for nearly an hour.
"Wei Zhen!"
As soon as Wei Zhen entered the imperial study, Cao Yu hurriedly asked: "What should we do now?"
Wei Zhen was also frowning. He had just commanded the sergeants to guard the palace at the top of the palace. Now that Sima Zhao had stopped attacking and Sima Yi had already arrived in front of the palace, he hurriedly returned to the imperial study to see Cao Yu.
"Your Majesty!"
"Run quickly."
Wei Zhen said breathlessly: "The outer city has been destroyed, and we can't defend this palace for long."
Hearing this, Cao Yu suddenly became furious: "Didn't you say you could defend Luoyang...but now you let me escape?"
"Your Majesty——"
Wei Zhen was also speechless. He had never thought that there would be a rebellion of small soldiers. When he learned that Sima Yi had killed outside Luoyang City, he controlled Cui Lin and other ministers in the court. He thought that as long as he controlled these people, Luoyang would be conquered. There will be no trouble in the city.
As long as there is no chaos in the city, it will not be easy for Sima Yi to enter the city.
But God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Although Cui Lin and the others were controlled, they failed to control the Luoyang defenders.
