As for the military rations brought by Ma Tiesuo's department, naturally all of them belonged to the Yellow Turban Army. Fortunately, Ma Teng and Ma Tie both thought that they could easily capture Longxian, so they didn't have much food with them, otherwise, Ma Tie would really become an enemy in this battle.

On Ma Chao's side, as soon as he led the army to the county boundary of Luoyang County, he encountered a problem.

Last year, the pavilion that Jin Jue ordered people to rebuild was not demolished like the houses in Luoyang County, but was preserved.

Its function can not only play the role of the original pavilion, but also as a beacon tower.

Ma Chao also felt that this thing was very obstructive in front of him, so he ordered his subordinates to attack immediately and capture all the pavilions along the way. As a result, what people didn't expect was that he actually ran into hard stubble here.

The brick and stone pavilion, in the case that the soldiers of Ma Chao's department did not carry any siege equipment other than the siege ladder, it was simply a dog biting a hedgehog and had no way to put his mouth down.

As soon as Ma Chaojun attacked, he ushered in a rain of arrows from the soldiers defending the pavilion, and at the same time, the top of the pavilion was immediately lit with a beacon fire.

One, two, three, as the first beacon fire was lit, in Ma Chao's sight, it extended to the direction of the county seat of Luoyang County, and the blazing beacon fire was lit one after another.

There is no doubt that Ma Chao's attempt to lead the army to attack Luoyang County was completely bankrupt as soon as it entered Luoyang County.

"General, it's not a way to go on like this. This kind of pavilion built by the little lame man is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you don't light the beacon fire, you will break it, and there is some value, but now, since it has alarmed the other party, it is really worth the loss in spending manpower to attack this kind of pavilion! Therefore, his subordinates suggested that you immediately abandon the attack on this kind of pavilion along the way, and immediately lead the army to attack the county seat of Luoyang County. Checkmate! Ma Chao's subordinates all saw the other party's arson, so the deputy general immediately stepped forward to persuade him.

"Good! So do it! Ma Chao nodded, raised his horse whip and ordered: "Target: Luoyang County, set off immediately." ”

……

At the same time, in the county seat of Luoyang County, "Lord Juncheng, except for a few old goods who are still unwilling to leave, most of the people in the city have all withdrawn from the county seat of Luoyang County, and now you and your subordinates are left, you see?" Liu Thirty-one quietly came to Liu Xiongming, who was standing on the city wall at this time, and reported in a low voice.

In fact, as early as the moment when Ma Chao led the troops from Hanyang County, a spy secretly sent by Jin Jue sent this information back to Luoyang County in time and informed Liu Xiongming, who was in charge of staying behind.

At this time, Luoyang County was the weakest defensive force, so Jin Jue made a plan in advance, if Ma Teng sent troops to attack Luoyang County just before the Battle of Hanzhong began, Liu Xiongming immediately arranged for the remaining people in the county to immediately withdraw from Luoyang County.

The reason why there are still defenders left in the pavilions in the direction of Ji County is to delay the marching speed of Ma Chao's army and give it a false impression, so that Ma Chao mistakenly thinks that Luoyang County only found out that Ma Teng sent troops to attack Luoyang County at this time, and this is also to buy time for the remaining people and materials in the relocation city.

Prior to this, Fu Gan, with the assistance of others, had already relocated the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang County to the structural county controlled by Wudu County. And those who stayed in Luoyang County were all aborigines of Luoyang County.

Regarding the relocation, Jin Jue was not as domineering as he was when he collected grain before, and he did not force the aborigines in the city. And the Yellow Turban Army is not too attached to Luoyang County, how Jin Jue arranges it, they just do it. Today's Jin Jue has such prestige in the entire Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang County.

Until the news of Ma Teng's troops attacking Luoyang County came, most of the people in the city finally responded to Liu Xiongming's call, immediately packed up the soft at home, and moved south with Jin Jue's army who stayed in Luoyang County.

"Alas......!" When Liu Xiongming heard this, he sighed, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let's go!" Let's all go first! You kid will go first with the people, and I will set this fire myself. ”

According to Jin Jue's plan, all the people in the city will be moved, and Ma Teng's desire to obtain a complete empty city is simply wishful thinking. Because, the second step of Jin Jue's retreat plan was to burn the entire Luoyang County to ashes.

Not a single grass, tree, brick or tile is left to Ma Teng.

Of course, Jin Jue also knows very well that from ancient times to the present, there will be some stubborn and very conservative old people in Chinese cities or villages who refuse to leave their homeland even if they die, for these people, whether they are alive or dead, whether they are burned to death by the fire that is about to ignite, or killed by the angry Ma Teng, Jin Jue does not care about these.

"No!" Liu Thirty-one agreed, and immediately led his subordinates to run out of the city immediately.

Immediately, Liu Xiongming stopped sighing, he lit the torch in his hand with a flint, came to the firewood and straw stacks that Liu Thirty and his people visited along the street, and lit them one by one.

By the time Liu Xiongming rode to the south gate of Luoyang County, the whole city had been plunged into fiery flames and billowing smoke.

From a distance, Ma Chao's soldiers and horses saw the scene of fire not far away.

"General, is it Luoyang County on the other side of the fire?" Everyone stopped the horses, and the deputy general gathered a few thousand of Ma Chao, and asked in a low voice with a look of disbelief.

"How can this be justified, how can it be justified! Little cripple, you deceive people too much! Looking at the scene of half the sky in front of him, Ma Chao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and first whipped the short-eyed deputy general with the whip in his hand, and then he pointed in the direction of Luoyang County and scolded.

At this moment, even fools can see what is happening in Luoyang County.

After scolding for a long time, Ma Chao suddenly closed his eyes, was silent for a while, and ordered: "Come on, immediately divide your troops to attack those pavilions that blocked our army's way along the way just now, and the people inside will be killed." ”

It's too late to say anything now, even if he doesn't send someone to see the current situation in Luoyang County, Ma Chao can fully imagine the current situation in the county, so Ma Chao can only order his men to arrest the defenders who are guarding the pavilion.

It's a pity that when the military horses sent by Ma Chao haven't arrived at those pavilions, these pavilions are all burning, like torches, and the fiery red light even makes the sunlight a little dull.

The plan left by Jin Jue completely bankrupted Ma Teng's plan, and he didn't get people and land, but offended Jin Jue because of it.

At the same time, what Ma Teng and Jin Jue didn't expect was that this war, which only had flames but no direct confrontation, greatly shocked the forces of other counties in Hanyang County.
