The obstruction of the night greatly weakened the defenders' attack, and it was difficult to find the enemy. However, in the final battle, I didn't care about so many things. I used everything I could use at hand, whatever I collected.
The door panels and stones were all thrown down by the soldiers.
In the second half of the night, the battle became fierce, and Cao Ren devoted almost all his troops to the city to resist the Xiliang army. In the last battle, the powerful fighting power of the Xiliang army made the private soldiers of the family feel a little frightened.
They fought with only enthusiasm and without strict training. It was good to have someone to supervise them during the day. Under such circumstances, some private soldiers even hid directly under the battlements. Anyway, the bows and arrows of the Xiliang Army would not come to greet them.
,Besides, missing one person on the battlefield is not a big deal.
After Cao Ren killed three slippery soldiers, the situation eased. Cao Ren's personal guards even acted as a law enforcement team before leaving, constantly walking around the battlefield. Whenever they encountered soldiers who retreated, they were all serious.
disposal.
The strong wind roared, and five hundred soldiers jumped down from a high place, facing the strong wind, and grabbed the things in their hands tightly. Before leaving, King Liang, whom they admired, told them that as long as they held on to this thing tightly, they slowly
Through control, you can reach Luoyang City.
The first time you use something like this, you will inevitably be a little scared, even the soldiers in the army are no exception. The operation method is very simple, and the soldiers have already memorized it. When they actually operate it in person, they find it difficult, especially in the air, where they can't help but
Will be nervous.
Of the five hundred soldiers, only two hundred succeeded in landing in Luoyang City. The remaining three hundred did not show up for unknown reasons. They may have fallen outside the city, or they may have accidentally fallen to death.
The reasons are not theirs to consider.
The soldiers who landed quickly hid themselves. This was a critical moment for both the offensive and defensive sides. It was difficult to guarantee that there would be a patrol team in the city. However, the Cao Jun uniforms they wore gave them great convenience. As long as they did not reveal too many flaws, they could
Will not arouse suspicion.
A quarter of an hour later, no patrolling soldiers were seen passing by, and two hundred soldiers gradually gathered towards the city gate.
"Let's go." In the secret room, Su Shuang gave an order, and three hundred men in black were dispatched. It was impossible for Su Shuang to train soldiers in the city with great fanfare. These men in black were loyal, but their combat effectiveness was limited. This is why Jia Rong
The reason for sending soldiers into the city again.
Su Shuang has been in Luoyang for so long, so he naturally has his own network of contacts. Take the soldiers Cao Ren recruited to defend the city, for example. Some of them are private soldiers from aristocratic families, and they stand on the same line as Su Shuang, not to mention at critical moments.
Being able to switch sides and attack, even if you hide and don't move, can influence the situation to a certain extent.
Just because Cao Ren didn't want the Xiliang Army to attack the city, it didn't mean that others didn't want it. The merchants received so many favors from the Xiliang Army, and the merchants in Luoyang were no exception. What they got under Cao Jun was far less than what the Xiliang Army had.
If you get a lot, you will definitely not sacrifice your life for Cao's army. Maybe when the Xiliang army formed a naval army, there were not a few businessmen in the city who donated money.
Before the soldiers responsible for guarding the Xianlian Pavilion could react, they were swarmed by men in black and were submerged in a black shadow, leaving only bursts of screams.
This night was destined to be unrestful. After Su Shuang and three hundred Xiliang Army soldiers gathered together, they continued to create chaos in the city. The flames ignited in the city reduced the momentum of the defenders by three points, and the defense of the city reached its most critical point.
At that moment, a fire suddenly broke out in the city. Any soldier with some knowledge would know that something had happened in the city.
Seeing this, Cao Ren continued to send a lot of cavalry to the location of the accident. As long as they were useful soldiers, they all were used. Combined with what happened in the city and the movements of the Xiliang army outside the city, he was given a sense of
I have a very bad feeling. What does "the last battle?" mean? Could it be that the Xiliang army is confident that it can capture Luoyang tonight, "by relying on the rebels in the city?" Cao Ren was very puzzled.
Two hundred soldiers of Cao's army quickly approached the city gate in a chaotic situation. Facing Paoze's sudden attack, Cao's army suffered heavy casualties. After the two hundred soldiers killed all the soldiers at the city gate, they sent people to guard outside.
While starting to lower the suspension bridge.
Although the three hundred dead soldiers were strong-willed and risked their lives for the sake of orders, their strength was limited after all. They were quickly defeated one by one by the army sent by Cao Ren.
The suspension bridge lowered its unique sound, and Cao Jun's soldiers on the city were immediately alert and hurriedly informed Cao Ren.
The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and hundreds of Xiliang troops wearing Cao's uniforms were working hard outside to resist the pressure from the defenders until the city gate was completely opened.
Seeing this, Lu Bu and Ma Chao no longer hesitated, took the lead, and charged into Luoyang City.
Seeing the cavalry of the Xiliang Army attacking the city, Cao Ren organized his soldiers to stop the attacking soldiers, and led his bodyguards to rush to the city, preparing for the final fight. After fighting until now, the faces of the defenders were all very heavy.
A touch of fish belly white appeared in the east. When the vanguard general Xiahou Dun led the vanguard army to rush outside the city, the flag of the Xiliang Army had already flown on the city. All the city gates were tightly closed, and the corpses of the soldiers were seen outside the city.
I didn't have time to clean up, and I knew I was already a step too late.
With a long sigh, Xiahou Dun ordered the cavalry to convey the message to the army in the rear.
Under the dragging of his lieutenants, Cao Ren escaped from Luoyang, met with Cao's army, and reported everything that happened in the city.
After listening to it with a gloomy expression, Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "You are also a veteran of hundreds of battles. Don't you know the importance of city gates?"
Cao Ren fell on his face on the ground and cried bitterly: "You are humble and incompetent. Please punish me, my lord, and behead your humble servant to comfort the three armies."
"Humph, take him down." Cao Cao waved his hand with a calm expression. Cao Ren is a general in the army. He has made great contributions to the army over the years, and his conduct for others is even more remarkable.
When the sun rose high, Jia Rong climbed up the city wall and looked at the mighty Cao army outside the city. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Mengde, Mengde, I'd better hurry you up and take down Luoyang."
Cao Cao said: "Zhiyuan, do you dare to go out of the city to answer the question?"
The messenger quickly brought the words to the city.
After hearing this, Jia Rong showed a sneer on his face and said, "Why don't you dare."
"Lord, Cao's army has one hundred thousand troops. Our army has gone through successive battles, so be careful of fraud," Guo Jia advised.
"Fengxiao, Cao's army also came from afar. If they dare to make any changes, our cavalry will definitely make them regret coming to the city." Jia Rong said.
"Zilong ordered a thousand cavalry to follow me." Jia Rong turned around and walked down the city wall.
"The whole army is on alert." Guo Jia ordered from the city, staring at Cao Jun outside the city vigilantly.
"Mengde, we've been apart for more than a year, how are you doing lately?" Jia Rong asked with a smile.
He had the fierce general Zhao Yun beside him, and Cao Cao also had Dian Wei beside him. The generals on both sides naturally looked at each other angrily, but because the two generals were talking, they could not take action without permission. After the battle of Luoyang, the two sides' generals looked at each other angrily.
Liang Zi is now completely connected. When they meet in the future, it will inevitably be a fierce battle.
"Zhiyuan, with you in Luoyang, I'm afraid my brother will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Jia Rong couldn't help but admire Cao Cao's broadmindedness. Even if he was captured by the enemy and captured an important city, he would definitely not be so magnanimous. I'm afraid he had already gritted his teeth and looked like he wanted to eat the opponent alive.
"Brother Meng De, I have no choice but to do it. There are hundreds of thousands of brothers under my command waiting for food. If we don't send troops, they won't even have money to eat. Luoyang can be regarded as a gift from Brother Meng De to me.
There will be repayment in the future." Jia Rong said with a smile.
Cao Cao's smiling face twitched slightly. The guard at Sishui Pass, Jun Jin, was captured by the Xiliang army. With Jia Rong's character, if he wanted to redeem him, he would definitely have to pay a price. Xia Houyuan, the general at Hulao Pass, was Cao Cao's
One of the important generals in the army was also killed by the Xiliang army. He lost two generals and nearly 40,000 soldiers. He was extremely angry for a long time, but it was Cao Cao who took things seriously and acted like this.
Talk to Jia Rong with a good face.
"Brother, I will keep Zhiyuan's actions in mind. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay him twice as much," Cao Cao said.
"I am very happy. I hope that Mengde can go to Chang'an to drink tea and drink when he is fine. Wouldn't it be great for you and me to drink and chat together and chat about the next thing?" Jia Rong said.
"Yanzhou also welcomes Zhiyuan at any time. Let's not gossip. Because my brother has important things to deal with at home, I won't accompany him." Cao Cao cupped his hands and clapped his horse and left.
"Lord, is this Cao Mengde?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Jia Rong glanced sideways at Zhao Yun.
"Compared with my lord, he is far behind, and his appearance is also a bit wretched, comparable to that guy Liu Si." Zhao Yun commented.
Jia Rong almost laughed. He wondered if Cao Cao would turn his horse around and attack him after hearing Zhao Yun's evaluation of him. Height has always been Cao Cao's weakness.
"Ahem, Zilong, you can't judge a book by its appearance." Jia Rong scolded.
Jia Rong returned to Luoyang safe and sound, and Guo Jia's heart relaxed after just mentioning it. Although he knew that Jia Rong and Cao Cao were old friends, it was inevitable that Cao Cao would do something extreme in anger. Jia Rong's feelings towards Xiliang
The importance of the military is self-evident.
"My lord, now that Cao's army is under Luoyang City, why not take this opportunity to cut off their return route and leave one hundred thousand Cao's troops outside Luoyang City to defeat Cao's army?" Guo Jia suggested.
Jia Rong shook his head slightly and said: "Fengxiao, our army is currently losing troops and generals. We can barely capture Luoyang before Cao Cao. If we fight Cao Cao again, we will inevitably be injured. It is really detrimental to our army. We cannot take advantage of the Central Plains."
There are many princes and soldiers who have died, so we must do a good job in providing pensions without slacking off at all."
"Although Cao Cao has lost Luoyang, he will definitely not fight with our army in the short term. There are Yuan Shao's repeated invasions in the Central Plains, as well as Liu Biao and his like. Cao Cao's first task is to defeat them all. For Luoyang, he will mostly take precautions.
