Not long after Huang Zhong and the others did a good job of defense, the sound of a rushing rope sounded in the east of Luyang City. Huang Zhong and Luo Xian knew that Cao Jun's vanguard had come.

At this time, three hundred steps east of Luyang City, Cao Ren, who was sitting on a horse, carefully looked at the city in front of him.

As far as the eye could see, there were only five or six torches lit on the eastern wall of Luyang City, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth in the city were also scattered.

Cao Ren didn't want to startle the snake, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat more than a thousand steps, and he wanted to wait until the dead of night when the Liangzhou army went to rest, and then attacked suddenly.

Huang Zhong and Luo Xian waited for half an hour, but they did not see Cao's army coming to attack the city. Immediately, Huang Zhong ordered the soldiers to take the dry food prepared in advance to the city tower and distribute it to the soldiers who defended the city.

The Liangzhou army had dry food, waited for another hour, and the time came to the middle of the hour, and the Cao army outside the city still did not make any moves.

Behind the women's wall, Huang Zhong and Luo Xian sat on the ground.

"Order!"

Huang Zhong poked out half of his head, looked at the situation outside the city again, then looked at Luo Xian, and muttered in a low voice: "Cao Jun has not come to attack the city for a long time, probably because he wants to wait until the second half of the night, when I have all gone to rest, and then make a surprise attack." Or ...... Cao Jun wants to capture the other three gates of Luyang City? ”

"General Huang's concern is not unreasonable!"

Luo Xian had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he saw Huang Zhong asking, he immediately said in a low voice: "In this case, the soldiers can be divided into two teams, one team can take advantage of this time to rest, and the other team will serve as a guard." Xian sent someone to the other three gates to investigate the situation! ”

"Good! Just according to the order! ”

Huang Zhong thought about it for a while, then nodded, and said thoughtfully.

About a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers who went to the north, west, and south gates of Luyang City replied back and forth: no Cao army appeared outside the city, and there was no abnormal situation.

Huang Zhong put his mind at ease, and then, he hurriedly took advantage of the time before the war to squint and pretend to sleep, so as to nourish his spirits!

The wait is always long!

It's time in a flash!

"General Huang! The enemy army has begun to attack the city! ”

Just after the end of the hour, there was a sound of squeezing outside the city, Luo Xian hurriedly pushed Huang Zhong beside him, and said in a low voice.

"These thieves, what a patience!"

Huang Zhong opened his eyes violently, rubbed his eyes casually, and immediately looked out of the city.

Against the backdrop of the empty and silent night sky, the sound of Cao Jun outside the city became clearer and clearer.

It can be seen faintly that the soldiers of the Cao army are carrying the ladder, the cat is bent on the waist, and they are approaching the east gate of Luyang City step by step with a degree that is not fast or slow.

"A hundred steps!"

"Fifty steps!"

Every time Cao Jun advanced fifty steps, Huang Zhong and Luo Xian both glanced at each other and nodded!

"Thirty steps!"

Huang Zhong and Luo Xian glanced at each other again!

"Shoot the arrows! Kill the enemy! ”

As Huang Zhong's shouts sounded, in just an instant, on the city of Luyang, flags covered the sky, drums and horns sounded in unison, and crossbow arrows were ten thousand!

Immediately afterwards, the heart-rending wails of Cao's soldiers came from outside the city. In such a night sky, this endless and deafening howl is really a bit crazy!

The crossbowmen of the Liangzhou army are all equipped with a crossbow of fifteen consecutive crossbows. Therefore, every two or three breaths, nearly 3,000 crossbow arrows flew to the Cao army outside the city.

In an instant, within sixty steps outside Luyang City, there were the corpses of Cao Jun's soldiers. There are many soldiers of the Cao Army, not to mention being shot as hedgehogs!

"Shooting bed crossbow! Shoot rockets! ”

Seeing that the enemy army was preparing to retreat, Huang Zhong shouted loudly.

As Huang Zhong's herald sounded, more than a dozen bed crossbows fired giant crossbow arrows in unison on Luyang City. The soldiers of the Cao Army, who had not had time to escape outside the city, were instantly strung into a 'human string'!

As the rockets of the Liangzhou Army flew by, in just a few breaths, the Cao Army's array turned into a sea of fire! The soldiers of the Cao army screamed and rolled and died!

In just over a quarter of an hour, this surprise siege battle started by the Cao army ended in the crushing defeat of the Cao army!

Cao Ren looked at it hatefully, Luyang City, which was like daylight, and in the cheers of the tsunami in the Liangzhou Military Mountain, he was unwilling to retreat.

Cao Ren's heart is dripping blood! Such a crucial battle, but he was defeated. In this raid on Luyang City, his 10,000 forward soldiers were only more than 7,000 in an instant!

"Kill the pig and the sheep! Reward all the soldiers! ”

Huang Zhong looked at Cao Jun, who was gradually disappearing and disappeared into the night, and laughed loudly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, holding high the weapons in their hands, shouted in unison.

……

However, it was said that after Cao Ren hated Luyang City, he retreated twenty miles to the east, and then set up camp and waited for Cao Cao's Chinese army to come.

At the time, twenty miles east of Luyang City, Cao Yingzhongjun's big tent!

"Cao Ren's light army rushed forward, causing the vanguard army to lose its troops, damaging the prestige of the main army, and losing the spirit of the western expeditionary army! Cao Ren deserves death! ”

Cao Ren knelt on the ground, first reported to Cao Cao how to march, defeated, and retreated, and then said in a deep voice that was ashamed and extremely unwilling.

"Lord!"

Seeing Cao Cao's gloomy face, he was about to thunder. Guo Jia hurriedly got up, bowed to Cao Cao, and said with relief: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, although General Cao is defeated, he will not be guilty of death!" Moreover, killing the general is not good for the army! Please also ask the Lord to be merciful outside the law! ”

"What Feng Xiao said is very true!"

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, immediately stood up, stepped forward, helped Cao Ren up, and laughed loudly: "Zixiao, don't blame yourself, don't be discouraged!" Keri, I will take Luyang City. In a few days, I will defeat Li Mu! At that time, Zixiao will still need to fight bravely to kill the enemy! ”

"Thank you for your innocence!"

Cao Ren hurriedly saluted Cao Cao and said solemnly with a solemn face. Afterwards, Cao Ren saluted Guo Jia again.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao and said in a deep voice: "According to the report from our army scouts, there are only 6,000 soldiers and horses in Luyang City, and its guard Luo Xian is really an unknown person!" According to Zixiao, the defenders of the enemy army are afraid of ...... No less than 10,000! ”

"What Zhicai said is very true!"

Cao Ren nodded, and said in a solemn voice: "The enemy's soldiers in Dongcheng should be no less than four thousand!" Renxian...... The range of the enemy's arrows is longer than ours, and its lethality is also extraordinary! Even more unthinkable...... Enemy soldiers can be ...... at the same time Shoot more than five arrows! ”

"Really?"

Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai and others looked at Cao Ren in disbelief, and then, Guo Jia was surprised.

Cao Ren nodded with a determined expression!

"Enlightened Lord! General Xiahou and General Le are asking to see them outside the camp! At this moment, Cao Cao's personal guards entered the tent and reported.

"The army is in danger!"

Xi Zhicai was shocked and sighed.
