Chapter 679: Encircled
Xia Dong seized the opportunity, and when Cao's army attacked the center of the city, they attacked with all their might.
In this way, you can firmly hold the enemy and make it impossible for them to get out.
After being glued, it is necessary to create an opportunity for Zhang Yu and Li Dao.
It will take at least three hours for Zhang Yu to rush to the battlefield, Cao Jun is not a fool, Zhang Yu and they can't deceive them if they don't really go.
And Li Dao and them are also ambushed in the distance, and they are easy to find when they get close.
Sure enough, everything went as planned, and Cao Jun was fooled.
Xiahoudun found a problem, he wanted to send people to control the city gate, but he couldn't draw too many troops for a while.
Cao Ang, who was at another city gate, also found a problem.
"How can I go alone at this time, tell Uncle Xiahou that I will follow his orders, continue to fight, and let him command the army." Cao Ang said.
At this time, Cao's army was not defeated, and even gained the upper hand.
It's just that it is very difficult for them to break away, and the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong are firmly stuck to them, and if they want to retreat, they will turn into a rout if they are not careful.
Xiahou Yuan was also shocked when he got the news, there were so many troops in ambush in the city.
"No, Zhang Yu will definitely return to help soon, if we can't stop it, we will be wiped out." Xiahou Yuan thought.
At this time, they were faced with a difficult choice, if they retreated at this time, the soldiers and horses in the city would suffer heavy losses, but Xiahou Yuan's 30,000 troops could be unhindered.
But if they persist and wait for Zhang Yu to come back, then they will suffer heavy casualties and even annihilation.
"Let Xiahou Yuan enter the city, control the city gate, and we will destroy the army in the city." After struggling, Xiahoudun made a decision.
Xiahou Yuan entered the city and then took control of the city gates.
In this way, even if Zhang Yu kills them, they don't want to break through the city gate in a short time, so that they have enough time to eliminate the ambush soldiers in the city.
Xiahoudun's decision was right, and it was very good under normal circumstances.
But there was an accident.
When Xiahou Yuan heard the news, he immediately returned to the aid and rushed into Luoyang City with 30,000 soldiers and horses.
"Quick, close the gates."
"Take control of the walls."
"Shut up the gates."
Xiahou Yuan issued several orders in a row.
Just now, they broke open the gates, and some of them were damaged, so they needed to be blocked with other things.
Xiahou Yuan moved quickly, took two quarters of an hour to control the two city gates, and then walked towards the other two city gates.
At this moment, an army of about 50,000 people suddenly arrived.
Li Dao finally arrived, directly from behind Cao Jun.
The Cao army at the other two city gates was attacked by the enemy on their backs and was very dangerous.
"Haha, Luoyang City, I'm back again." Li Wei laughed wildly, made a bold plan by himself, and finally succeeded.
Li Dao's appearance was so unexpected that no one in Cao Jun thought of it.
Originally, Cao Jun still had a chance, but now there is no chance at all.
"This is Zhang Yu's killer feature."
"It turned out to be Li Dao, Zhang Yu dared to cooperate with Dong Zhuo's remnants."
"Zhang Yu is a blatant rebellion."
Xiahoudun was so angry that he scolded.
But think about it, what about the blatant rebellion, the only remaining prestige of the Han Dynasty today can't help Zhang Yu.
Xiahoudun was very decadent, and he led his army into such a crisis.
"Let Miaocai cover our retreat." Xiahoudun said.
At this time, they can't hesitate, there are such big variables, if they don't make up their minds, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape.
None of those troops who were attacked by Li Dao from behind wanted to escape.
At the same time, the two lines of soldiers and horses commanded by Xiahoudun and Cao Ang were also tightly stuck by the Jiangdong army, and it was not so easy to retreat.
Knowing that Li Dao's army was killed, Xia Dong did not reserve it, and attacked Cao's army even more frantically.
At this time, the Cao army wanted to retreat, but it couldn't get rid of the entanglement of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.
A forced retreat can only lead to heavy losses.
Xiahoudun could only retreat slowly, and at the same time let Xiahouyuan retreat outside the city with his soldiers and horses to prepare to respond.
In the other two city gates, the army that was attacked by Li Dao and them has been routing, and the losses are huge under the chaos.
The Xiliang Army is still so fierce and crazy to kill.
More than half an hour later, the encircled Cao army collapsed, surrendered and died.
After dealing with those Cao troops, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses and Li Wei's army were freed, came out of the city gate, and killed both sides.
Xiahoudun immediately discovered this situation and immediately forcibly evacuated, while the Jiangdong soldiers and horses behind took the opportunity to cover up and kill.
Outside the city gate, Xiahoudun and them suffered heavy losses, estimated to have lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, nearly half.
But the situation did not get much better, and the Jiangdong and Li Wei soldiers and horses on both sides also killed them, and at the same time, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses that were chased in the city still followed closely.
Cao Jun was in a very dangerous situation.
"Miaocai, protect the eldest prince to break through." Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, Xiahoudun shouted.
"Uncle Xiahou, how can I escape alone, let's kill together." Cao Ang didn't do it, and he wanted to kill it with Xiahoudun.
"Let's go, they haven't completed the encirclement at this time, and there is still a possibility of breaking through." Xiahoudun shouted again.
Xiahoudun personally led people to prepare for the break, but if no one broke off, they would only be surrounded.
"No, let's go." Cao Ang said stubbornly.
Xiahou Yuan sighed and said: "I'm afraid it's too late, we have been dragged for nearly an hour, and we can't get rid of them on the road, Zhang Yu's cavalry will be killed in two hours." ”
At this time, it was not so easy for them to get rid of, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses and Li Dao's soldiers and horses combined were more than twice as many as them.
Xiahou Yuan saw that Xia Dong commanded a group of soldiers and horses that had already detoured in front of them, and he was afraid that none of them would be able to run today.
"Okay, let's kill it together." Xiahoudun saw that there was no chance, and he could only do so.
The three of them rushed with their soldiers and horses, but they faced an army that was stronger than them.
Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were slightly weaker, because they were newly recruited troops, while Li Wei's Xiliang army was strong.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan protected Cao Ang all the way to break through, but it didn't take long for them to be beaten back, and finally formed a circle and were surrounded by groups.
"Surrender, if you continue to resist, you will all die in battle." At this time, the battle was still going on, and Xia Dong came out to persuade him to surrender and said.
"Who is the general on the other side, I am Xiahou Dun under the account of Duke Cao."
Looking at the outfit, it is Jiangdong soldiers and horses, but it is very young, and Xiahoudun is not right.
"In Xia Dong, Zhang Yu, the king of Bohai, is a partial general." Xia Dong said.
Xiahou was a little melancholy, and a small general from Jiangdong beat them like this.
"Zhang Yu dared to collude with Dong Zhuo's remnants, isn't he afraid of being spurned by the world?" Xiahoudun said.
Xia Dong laughed a few times and said: "Cao Cao took in the thief Liu Bei and held His Majesty hostage, we are just begging for thieves." ”
Since there is a war of words, it depends on who can talk more.
