Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "In war, there will inevitably be casualties, and once Luoyang is attacked, it will be very important to our army. I believe Fengxiao also knows."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "My lord is right, but I am too short-sighted. I am a little reluctant to see the soldiers killed and injured too much."
"Not only are they unwilling to give up their filial piety, but I am also the same. These soldiers are elite soldiers who have fought many battles. They died in the city like cowards. How miserable."
"My lord, why don't you organize soldiers to sneak into the city, open the city gates, and welcome the army into the city?" Guo Jia asked. It is said that this is a common method used by the Xiliang Army since it sent troops, and it has been tried and tested. The two passes of Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass are
Conquered them all one by one.
"There are more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and the defender Cao Ren is a famous general. It is impossible that he does not pay attention to his own safety. According to the news from the spies in the city, Cao Ren ordered the personal guards to densely protect the surrounding camp.
Get up, no one can get close without his order, the city gates are also strictly guarded, and even the aristocratic families in the city have contacts with Cao Jun and secretly support Cao Ren." Jia Rong said.
"You are really timid." Guo Jia said disappointedly: "But the aristocratic families in the city should not be underestimated."
"Haha, if such a thing is done to anyone, he will protect his own safety, and Cao Ren also understands his importance to Luoyang." Jia Rong's eyes suddenly sternly said: "Even if Cao Ren is very protective, I, the king
There is also a way to conquer Luoyang. The blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain. Send the order and attack the three walls with all your strength without giving the defenders any chance to breathe. As for the noble family, when Luoyang is conquered, it will be the day they regret it."
At this time, three sides of the moat outside Luoyang City had been filled in, and the defenders inside the city became somewhat stretched. After all, the Xiliang Army had nearly 100,000 people, and they only had more than 10,000 people. After days of consumption,
Many soldiers were seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness was reduced by nearly 3,000. The number of available soldiers was less than 10,000. It was difficult to protect the three city walls. There were indeed many private soldiers from the family, so guarding the city walls seemed a bit difficult.
With insufficient capabilities, it is difficult to ensure the execution of the above orders under the high-intensity attack of the Xiliang Army.
Luoyang is not like Hulao Pass, which can seal the city gate. Cao Ren will definitely not do that before that step is reached. He is waiting for Cao Jun's reinforcements. Once reinforcements arrive, he will open the city gate and cooperate with the inside and outside.
The Xiliang army was thrown into chaos, and Cao's army had no chance of victory.
The Xiliang army attacked Luoyang day and night. The number of troops invested at one time reached 10,000. Three city walls were attacked at the same time. Thunderbolt chariots and ballistae chariots poured onto the city desperately. The soldiers marched forward bravely without fear of death.
, once they rush to the city wall, it will be a fatal blow to the defenders on the city. In terms of weapons and equipment, no one can match them, and the soldiers are usually well-trained. After storming the city wall, the defenders are in a panic.
Private soldiers stirred things up in the middle, making it even more chaotic.
In just one month, the defenders showed their weakness. Facing such a fierce offensive from the Xiliang Army, Cao Ren was moved. There were only 5,000 defenders, including wounded soldiers. The Xiliang Army paid a greater price for this.
, they who claim to be the best army in the world are no different from ordinary soldiers of the princes when they attack the city wall. If they are hit by stones, they will still die and cry out.
Such an siege consumes a lot of materials for the defenders. The arrows and huge wooden rocks in the city are only enough for half a month. Without these advantages, the defenders can only fight hand-to-hand with the Xiliang army.
Unlike Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, Luoyang's city walls are high and thick. Even if a lone wolf soldier wants to climb the city wall, it is impossible. The idea of sending soldiers into the city for a sneak attack has been cut off.
The soldiers on both sides gradually became angry, after all, they had lost so much robes.
At this time, Cao's army was ready to assemble and was heading towards Luoyang. In less than seven days, it would be able to provide support to the defenders in the city. By then, no matter how powerful the Xiliang army was, it would be difficult for them to conquer Luoyang.
They can only return to Chang'an in despair. Passes such as Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, which were finally defeated, will return to the hands of Cao Jun.
The construction of these passes is completely aimed at the outside but not the inside. Attacking outside Hulao Pass and attacking inside Hulao Pass are not at the same level at all. Cao Jun can easily capture Hulao Pass from inside the pass.
The speed of Cao's army made Jia Rong panic. He didn't want a year's gathering to be in vain. Moreover, the price paid by Cao's army was obviously less than that of the Xiliang army. The losses of the defending side were often greater than those of the attacking side.
Even more than one to two.
The night is dark and windy, and Jia Rong cannot sleep peacefully. The success or failure will be announced tonight. If this sneak attack fails, we can only retreat. Even the Xiliang army cannot afford the continuous consumption. The cost of a single crossbow cart's crossbows
It's not cheap, and the cost of the Thunderbolt Chariot is also huge, not to mention the armor and weapons of the soldiers. A battle is a competition for money and knowledge, to see who has more money and is more willing to throw it at them.
Guo Jia and other important generals in the army were also in Jia Rong's tent, quietly waiting for something.
After a long time, Zhao Yun broke the silence and said: "Lord, can it really succeed?" Zhao Yun was a little skeptical about the strategy proposed by Jia Rong. Although he had developed an attitude of great trust in Jia Rong over the years, this matter after all
At stake are the lives of hundreds of soldiers and the outcome of the attack on Luoyang. Cao Cao's army is only one day's journey from Luoyang. The vanguard will probably arrive at dawn. Like the Xiliang army, Cao Cao also attaches great importance to the development of cavalry.
There are not a few cavalry in the old army, and the equipment of both sides is almost the same. Faced with this situation, the Xiliang cavalry wandering on the battlefield can only continue to harass.
"I am confident that we can take down Luoyang in one battle. Are General Lu and General Ma ready?" Jia Rong turned his attention to Zhao Yun.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the city gate of Luoyang to be opened." Zhao Yundao said, I am afraid Cao Ren never dreamed that he wanted to wait for reinforcements to arrive, then open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, but he gave the Xiliang army
An opportunity, an opportunity to seize Luoyang. This was also a temporary decision made by Cao Ren after he knew that Cao Jun's vanguard army would be able to arrive at dawn. The previous fierce offensive of the Xiliang Army once allowed Cao Ren to completely seal the city gate.
, and then it resolves itself.
It was already late at night, and there was silence in the Cao army's camp. Cao Ren was fully armored and sitting on the commander's chair. Except for today, the Xiliang army would attack fiercely during the rest of the day. In such a high-intensity battle, there cannot be any negligence.
In the Xianlian Pavilion, Su Shuang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he ordered the servant beside him: "Take me to the secret room."
Three hundred men in black had already gathered in the secret room. These people were secretly trained by Su Shuang under Jia Rong's instructions when he was in Luoyang, just so that they could be put to use one day. This time, Cao Ren implemented strict measures on Xianlian Pavilion.
However, with the stalemate of the war, he gradually relaxed a lot. The main reason was that Su Shuang was too honest. The soldiers of the Cao army who broke into the Xianlian Pavilion searched casually and even took away a few things without arguing. After a long time, Cao Ren
He lost his original vigilance towards him and thought that Su Shuang was just a businessman stationed by the Xiliang Army in Luoyang. His existence was probably to create more profits for the Xiliang Army. Cao Ren even thought about it through
Su Shuang, figured out how to make Xianlian.
"Are you ready? The lord's army will enter the city soon. They will create chaos in the city at all costs to prepare for the lord's entry into the city." Su Shuang said.
Three hundred men in black claimed yes, their voices low and echoing in the dark secret room.
Su Shuang had great trust in the three hundred men in black because these people were orphans adopted by Su Shuang over the years and were loyal. Even if Su Shuang ordered them to commit mass suicide, they would not hesitate.
On the mountain not far from Luoyang, five hundred soldiers were standing ready. They had no armor on their bodies and wore Huanshou swords on their waists. These Huanshou swords were all made of hundreds of refined steel. They were definitely hot items in the army.
Now they are all in charge.
"The time is up, let's start." Jia Rong ordered.
The rumble of war drums rang out in the Xiliang army, and dense soldiers appeared on the three walls of Luoyang. Along with the sound of war drums, they launched an offensive against Luoyang. After many days of attacks, the soldiers seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of life.
, watching the former companions fall one by one, my heart has already been filled with anger. The purpose of climbing the city wall is to kill one more enemy. At this time of the war, few people care about life and death.
Such a war is a huge meat grinder for the soldiers and officers at the bottom. The bottom officers who can survive in the war will be at least company commander and battalion commander level in the future. If they are placed in the Xiliang Army, it will be temporary.
Characters, war is not only a test of the training results of military officers, but also a shortcut for those with lofty ideals to reach high positions.
"Warriors, are you ready? This is the last battle of the Xiliang Army. If we cannot capture Luoyang, we will have no choice but to roll back to Chang'an in despair and make everyone in the world laugh." Zhao Yun shouted loudly.
"Kill, kill, kill." Thousands of soldiers roared in unison, and the sound echoed in the sky for a long time.
"King Liang is watching you from behind. You all claim to be elites in the army and tigers on the battlefield. In the last battle, use all your courage to capture the city." Zhao Yun roared.
Cao Ren had already learned about the movements outside the city. He still had more than 8,000 soldiers in his hands. Although more of them were soldiers from aristocratic families, they were more than enough to defend the city, enough to support the arrival of Cao's army.
"The last battle? Huh, let's string up our bows and arrows and show the Xiliang army that Cao Jun is not someone to be bullied. You are also warriors," Cao Ren said.
