When Zhang Fei didn't come before, there were only Ju Yi and Zhang He in the camp, so Han Fei didn't think about besieging the city, but now that Zhang Fei came with his men. In this way, the number of men and horses under Han Fei's command exceeded 30,000, and although Luoyang City was large, it could also attack the city more without being affected.

Everyone discussed, and finally Han Fei decided to use the old method of encircling three and missing one, I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is extraordinary, this encirclement of three and one is secretly in line with the way of heaven, leaving a glimmer of life for the people in the city who defend the city, and also making the people in the city not desperate because of despair.

After making such a decision, Han Fei changed his past temptation and directly ordered Zhang Fei to attack the East Gate, Zhang He to attack the North Gate, and Ju Yi to attack the West Gate.

Hao Zhaoshan is good at guarding it, but he doesn't know how to do it, so he can only defend a city wall. Now that he is being attacked on three sides, Cao Zhang has no choice but to go to the city. The one-day onslaught caused the Qi army to suffer a lot of losses, but this effect also appeared, and Ju Yi, who attacked the west gate, attacked the city wall many times. If it weren't for Cao's desperate resistance, the West City Gate would have been broken.

When the Qi army retreated in the evening, Cao Zhang immediately summoned the generals in the city to discuss the matter. The hall was brightly lit, but it was difficult to hide the gloomy faces of the people present. Everyone knows that this Luoyang City is already in danger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Qi army is attacking the city on a large scale, our army has suffered heavy losses in just one day, I wonder if you can have any good strategies to help me defend the city?" After Cao Zhang's words were finished, the people present were quiet, and everyone didn't dare to speak, so they lowered their heads tacitly.

Cao Zhang looked around and sighed in his heart. Once upon a time, Cao's army was invincible in the territory, but he didn't expect to fall into this field in just a few years, and he couldn't even defend the city. After lamenting, he named Hao Zhao to speak.

Hao Zhao didn't dare to pretend to be dead anymore when his name was called, so he hesitated and said: "Third general, now that Luoyang is under the nest, it is always barely able to support it for a few days, and I ask the general to make a decision and find a way back." ”

Cao Zhang's eyes closed when he heard this, he didn't know these words, he just hoped that others could show him a clear way. Now listening to Hao Zhao's words, he also realized that he had to choose at this moment. There are two other roads in front of him, one is from Luoyang to Wancheng and even Xiangyang. Another one is to go to Chang'an to find Cao Ren.

Cao Zhang weighed and decided to go to Chang'an, but retreat was inevitable, but he did not plan to leave this Luoyang City to the Qi army intact. Since Dong Zhuo was able to burn Luoyang back then, then he Cao Zhang can do the same, who will care about the fire in Luoyang City after he leaves!

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Zhang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "That's it!" Since the Qi army is so persecuting us to wait, then let them enter the city, I want to cut off one of them, I don't know who of you can help me? ”

"The three generals let me come!" As soon as Cao Zhang's voice fell, Hao Zhao first asked. Cao Zhang looked at him and shook his head and said, "You can't do it, you and I are still of great use, I need someone to dare to die for me." ”

"Three generals, I'll come!" Another voice sounded, Cao Zhang heard the voice, looked over and found that it was one of his subordinate generals, this person's surname was Li Mingkang, and he was Cao Zhang's confidant. Cao Zhang saw that it was him, and suddenly said with some reluctance: "You... Think about it carefully! Those who stay behind are afraid that they will die for the rest of their lives. ”

"The three generals can rest assured, they have been appreciated by the three generals, and they have not made an inch of merit so far, so this time it will be up to me to break the queen!" Li dared to say resolutely, which made Cao Zhang greatly moved.

"Good! Hao Zhao, you go to arrange the breakout, Li Dang, you leave me to talk to you about this aftermath! After Cao Zhang's order, the people finally dispersed, leaving Li Dang here alone. Others don't know how Cao Zhang commanded, but they only know that Cao Zhang asked everyone to prepare for a breakthrough before the early hours of the morning, and after a full meal after the fifth watch, they were about to break out.

On the fifth watch, all the soldiers had breakfast, and Cao Zhang specially called Li Dare and instructed: "After I leave, you must remember to wait until the army of the Qi army enters the city before starting to light the fire, and I will let the Qi army and the city of Luoyang be buried in the sea of fire." ”

Li Dang nodded yes, Cao Zhang then encouraged him a few more words, and then turned to leave. In this way, half an hour later, Cao Jun was ready, and after Cao Zhang's order, Cao Jun opened the south gate and all Cao Jun rushed out of Luoyang City.

Han Fei had expected Cao Jun's breakthrough to besiege, and he ordered him not to stop him, so when he saw Cao Jun breaking through, someone had already reported to Han Fei that he knew. Han Fei didn't expect Cao Zhang's decision, and after thinking about it, he ordered Zhang He to take people to take Luoyang City first, and at the same time told Zhang He to be careful, he was worried that Cao Zhang had ambushed people in the city.

Zhang He took the order out, cautiously sent people over the city wall to enter Luoyang City, and then led the city gate to enlarge the team into the city. He was cautious all the way, but he didn't find any people and horses, just when Zhang He led the people to search the center of Luoyang City, suddenly a bowstring sounded, and then a rain of arrows rushed towards Zhang He and them.

"Raise your shield to defend!" Zhang He immediately shouted when he saw the rain of arrows. His men and horses are all the elite of the Qi army, and they are not panicked when they are suddenly attacked, but there are not too many people who are caught in such a rain of arrows. Just when Zhang He thought that this wave of attacks would last for a long time, he suddenly found that after the rain of arrows, the attack stopped.

Faced with Cao Jun's strange behavior, Zhang He couldn't help frowning. He ordered a team of men to go to investigate, only to find that the Cao army who had just shot arrows had already left first. Could it be that there are other traps in this Luoyang City? Shaking his head, Zhang He expelled the chaotic thoughts from his mind, and while the celebrity reported back to Han Fei, he divided his men into several teams and scattered to search for the hidden Cao Jun.

Watching the people walk away, Zhang He took the rest of the people straight to the City Lord's Mansion, he believed that Cao Zhang's hurry would definitely find some clues in the City Lord's Mansion. But just when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, fierce battles broke out in various parts of Luoyang City. Before, his division of troops had an effect, and these horses all encountered Cao's army.

While fighting, Cao's army also lit firewood that had been sprinkled with fire oil in advance. Fires erupted from all over Luoyang City, and soon small fires turned into large fires. The entire city of Luoyang was shrouded in fire.
