The next day, the scouts reported that dust suddenly rose in the Luoyang military camp, and a large force of cavalry appeared, which was rapidly marching towards the Luohe Water Pass.

Ma Chaojun immediately stood by, and the design of the Luohe Water Pass was extremely ingenious, divided into the outer city, the urn city, and the inner city, a total of three lines of defense.

Therefore, according to Xu Shu's plan, Ma Chaojun only stationed a garrison in the outer city, but ambushed a large number of ambushes on both sides of the urn city, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Luoyang vanguard army.

Thundered.

The war horses galloped, rolling up the dust all over the ground, a famous cavalry appeared in the dust, Jin Ge iron horse, the momentum was huge, and the vanguard army of this pathfinder was full of 10,000 people.

They quickly arrived at the outer city of Luohe Shuiguan, and the city wall was full of the flags of Ma Chaojun, especially the two military flags of Ma and Gao were the most obvious and dazzling.

The general rode out of the column and shouted: "The defending generals on the city wall, but Ma Chao and Gao Shun? ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he stood on the city wall, looked down, and his eyes flashed: "I didn't expect it to be you, Mei Cheng!" ”

Mei Cheng watched Gao Shun appear on the city wall, and couldn't help but be shocked, although 5 years passed in a flash, but Gao Shun's strong strength in leading the troops to fight had already been imprinted in Mei Cheng's heart.

But now, the two armies are fighting, each with its own master, Mei Cheng had to grit his teeth and say: "Gao Shun! ”

"I respect you as a man, why did you go to work for a puppet emperor? With your strength, you can get better treatment! ”

Gao Shun sneered: "What? Mei Cheng, do you still want to be a lobbyist to convince me to defect? ”

"Don't forget, the prince Xiecai is the orthodox heir, the true dragon son of heaven, His Majesty the Emperor, the Liu Wei you are guarding now is just a wild seed born to Empress He, if the name is not right, it is not good, or the traitor Dong Zhuo is established, he has no prestige, his virtue is not matched, he is an authentic usurper traitor!"

Mei Cheng shouted angrily: "Gao Shun, you are full of poetry and books, don't you hear the truth that good birds choose trees to perch?" ”

"Today, there is only one orthodox true dragon emperor, that is, His Majesty the Emperor who sits on the Luoyang court, and the rest of the people are just traitors who committed the following crimes!"

Ma Chao appeared, shook his head, and said: "General Mei, the two armies are at war, don't waste any tongues, see the truth under your hands!" ”

"Good!" Mei Cheng turned the horse's head and clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse carried him back into the military formation, Mei Cheng raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Siege!" ”

Rumble!

Rumble Rumble!

The drums of war roared, and the siege soldiers began to carry long ladders, braving the rain of arrows and arrows, and rushed to the outer city walls.

"Kill me!"

Gao Shun ordered: "Knock down the long ladder, pour fire oil, sasswood, and rolling stones, and attack it with fire!" ”

"Whoa!"

Dozens of long ladders were all set up on the outer city wall in an instant, and the guards immediately cut off the top of the long ladder, kicked it hard, and kicked the long ladder down.

Other long ladders that have been climbed by many people are very stable and cannot be kicked at all, and at this time it is necessary to make a sassal wood and rolling stones.

"Smash me!"

The two soldiers respectively picked up the two ends of the sassage wood and threw it fiercely outside the city wall, and there was a scream outside the wall, and the soldier who was climbing the ladder was directly smashed down by the falling sassal wood, and collided with the soldiers below, and directly smashed into blood.

Bang!

The rolling stone also rolled down immediately, fell to the ground at once, and began to roll forward continuously, crushing over, crushing dozens of people at once, forming a long bloodstone road on the ground full of corpses and broken arms.

"Three rows of archers ready!"

Gao Shun ordered: "The first row of volleys, the second row of reception, the third row of throws!" ”

Three rows of archers take turns, and after one row shoots off the bow and arrows in their hands, they immediately retreat and place the arrows on the bowstring, and then the third row of archers shoots forward.

Brush Brush Brush!

The arrows on the city wall flew down, turning into a rain of arrows in the sky, shooting the enemy troops below.

"Shield up!"

"Archers, shoot the enemy archers on the walls for me!"

Mei Cheng shouted loudly, and the rockets flew down, swishing into the military formation around him.

Pure rockets are not to be feared, and it is impossible to pose any threat to the military formation, but the arrows of the rockets are wrapped in a long strip of cloth soaked in fire oil.

As soon as the rocket hits, the strips of cloth full of fire oil on the arrows will spread out, and a large amount of fire oil will be poured on the raised shield, and the fire oil will drip down the edge of the shield and drop on the soldiers inside.

"Ignition!"

Gao Shun ordered: "Give me to continue to aim at the enemy forces below with rockets!" ”

Whoosh——!

A large number of rockets came overwhelmingly, and Mei Cheng's eyes flashed with panic, and he shouted loudly: "Shield! Shield! Block all the rockets for me! ”

The second round of rockets just lightly touched the shield, and immediately ignited a large number of flames, and the oil was ignited, rapidly expanding outward, looking from above the sky to below, only to see a large sea of fire formed between the shields, and the flames flew all over the sky, so that the soldiers below were swallowed up.

"Ah——!h

"Help, save me!"

"Extinguish the fire!"

The soldiers panicked, Mei Cheng miscalculated, he miscalculated one thing, as a long-term guard of the Luohe River Water Pass, not only the number of garrisons is 5,000 people, but even the warehouse inside the Water Pass is stacked with a large number of war materials.

At this moment, Ma Chaojun directly used 1/5 of the material reserves in the warehouse, which was not at all something that only 10,000 soldiers and horses could deal with.

Mei Chengjun's morale plummeted all of a sudden, a large number of flames burned everywhere, Ma Chao saw that it was almost burned, and the morale of the enemy army had fallen below 60, only 58 points.

He then ordered: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw to the city of Weng, and continue to carry out the second plan!" ”

"Whoa!"

After the rockets flew, Mei Chengjun was busy extinguishing the flames, and finally solved the problem of the rockets, and suddenly found that the trace of Ma Chaojun had been lost on the city wall.

"What's the situation?"

Mei Cheng asked the guards around him, and the guards rode forward, without any obstacles, and came to the gate of the outer city, Mei Cheng stared at the city wall tightly, and there was no movement.

Could it be that ...

Mei Cheng had a plan in his heart, and immediately gave an order to let the siege soldiers carry the battering ram to break through the city gate.

With a bang, the city gate was smashed with a bang, and a large number of soldiers rushed in, Mei Cheng said with great joy: "Sure enough, the strength of Ma Chao's army is limited, and they can only delay the advance of our army with the reserve materials in the warehouse of the water pass, but they can't stop our army from advancing!" ”

"Kill me!"

The outer city was broken, Mei Chengjun quickly entered a large square, and a city wall appeared in front, looking at the shape is very unique, in the two corners of the city wall, there is a particularly prominent small city, the city wall of the small city is full of arrow holes, Mei Cheng knows, this is an urn city.

Gao Shun appeared on the wall of the urn city again, and said coldly: "Mei Cheng, I want to see how many troops you still have to consume!" ”

"Humph!"

Mei Cheng sneered: "In my opinion, I'm afraid that you have very few troops, right?" ”。

"Otherwise, how could you easily abandon the outer city and start defending the urn city instead!"

Gao Shun frowned slightly, and said, "So what, it is only a matter of time before your army is defeated." ”
