At dawn the next day, the Arden army outside the city of Lüyang invested 3,000 foot soldiers and officially launched the siege.

Although the city head is a solemn appearance, but Arden is very confident, because the city wall of Luoyang is not too high, and the ladder made by the Qiang people can just reach it, if the city wall is higher, with their craftsmanship, I am afraid that they will not be able to make such a long and strong ladder.

In addition, yesterday the fortifications outside the city of Luoyang were swept away one after another, which made the morale of the Qiang army high and murderous.

In Arden's view, this was a sign that God was helping him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The drums of war were like thunder, the horns were in the sky, Arden sat on horseback and pointed at the city with his sword: "Attack!" ”

The first wave of the offensive was led by Pan Qu and Jian Dang. Each of them received more than 1,000 foot soldiers, and each division was divided into more than ten small phalanxes, and the soldiers in front of the phalanx held high simple wooden shields, and protected the ladders in the ranks, and thousands of people slowly killed the city wall.

Pan Qu and Jian Dang were even dressed in triple leather armor and rushed to the front line of the phalanx.

Behind the phalanx, the Qiang people's bows and horses were interspersed, and they kept pouring arrows at the city. Just as the two sides kept trying to shoot at each other, people kept screaming and falling down the city, but because the defenders finally had more city wall cover, the casualties were far less than those of the Qiang array.

It's just that the Qiang soldiers are gathering momentum and making Zhou Xiang's preparations, so they march extremely quickly, but the first cloud ladder has been erected on the city wall.

Arden saw it from afar, waved his big hand, and shouted, "Bow and rider step forward, suppress the archers at the head of the city!" ”

The cavalry of nearly 500 people took the way of covering in multiple teams, crossed vertically and horizontally, and shot alternately, and in an instant the arrows rained down like rain, endlessly, and the defenders of the city could not raise their heads.

As a result, more and more ladders were erected on top of the city wall, and the Qiang soldiers began to climb upwards with all their might, and a group of Qiang soldiers carried huge trees to the city gate.

Some of the Qiang soldiers who attacked the city have climbed to the head of the city wall, the Qiang soldiers who put the arrows are inevitably injured by mistake, and they also postpone the release of the arrows, the city wall is full of black pressed figures, at first glance, the low city wall of Luoyang is crumbling under the attack of the Qiang soldiers like a tide, and the city is about to be broken.

At this moment, the military drums in the city sounded loudly, and countless city soldiers held rolling wood and stones in their arms, and smashed straight down the ladder.

Immediately afterwards, countless Qiang soldiers screamed again and again, fell down from the ladder, the lucky ones hurt their muscles and bones, and the bad ones were directly smashed into a puddle of flesh, and the sound of wailing was loud for a while.

It's just that for a battlefield full of shouts and killings, such wails are too inconspicuous, and no comrades-in-arms will look at them at all.

Under the city wall, the Qiang soldiers in front were driven by the behind, like ants, climbing up in waves, seemingly fearless; On the city wall, the defenders finished throwing the rolling wood and stones, and began to cut down the enemies who dared to poke their heads and hands out with spears and steel knives.

Although the defenders of the city were very tightly arranged, after all, there were few people, and in a section of the city wall with fewer defenders, Pan Qu picked up the Qiang soldiers who were blocking the way, and took advantage of the respite of the defenders, holding a shield in one hand, and struggling to climb the ladder.

After all, he is a hero among the Qiang people, and as soon as he gains a firm foothold, he will fight out of a clearing and protect more and more Qiang soldiers to climb the city wall.

Such a situation played out in many places, and the generals Wei Rong, Yue Ji, Zhao Tong, and Liu Yin, who were responsible for defending the city walls at all ends, gradually joined in hand-to-hand combat.

At last, they are well-equipped and strong in martial arts, and they can take the lead at this moment, and they can resist more and more enemy soldiers with fewer troops.

As time passed, more and more Qiang soldiers gathered on the city wall.

Jiang Wei was no longer able to sit idly by, the divine sword "Lin Jia" was in his hand, and he led Jiang Wu to run towards the wall section with a large number of people.

He is strong in martial arts, "Lin Jia" is a treasure knife that blows hair and breaks hair, this time he attacked, there is no general in his hand at all, every time he appears in one place, it can greatly boost the morale of the defenders at the head of the city.

With the hard cooperation of the generals and hundreds of defenders at the head of the city, the first wave of the Arden army's offensive finally collapsed, and all the Qiang people were swept down.

It was almost the middle of the day in such a fierce battle.

The noon in Wudu was extremely hot, and Rao was an iron man who could not stand the bright sun shining for two moments, and Arden saw that the first wave of attack had been repulsed, and that it would be futile to attack again, so he gave the order to withdraw his troops.

"Woo woo woo"

A long horn announcing retreat suddenly sounded in the Qiang people's main formation, and the exhausted Qiang soldier took a long breath, spread his legs, and retreated like a tide.

Arden Hon-Formation.

Although the first battle was defeated, Arden had no disappointment in his heart, because the first wave of tentative attacks were carried out by Pan Qu and Tradang, and the strength of the defenders was exactly what he wanted; And his descendants have rested all morning, and they have already recuperated enough, and in the afternoon they will definitely be able to launch a thunderous offensive and capture the city in one fell swoop.

He was in great pleasure, and under the service of his attendants, he had eaten some food roughly, and was taking a nap, when suddenly a hurried horse's hooves sounded behind him, and then Muba helped a bloody Qiang man to run in front of him.

Arden looked at it carefully, and recognized that the person he assigned to stay behind to argue with his henchman Gehan, and suddenly felt ominous in his heart, and hesitated at the moment: "Brother...... Gohan! You're not arguing, how did you get here? ”

Gehan gasped for breath, fell to his knees with a thud, and cried out, "King! Ma Chao's thief took advantage of the army to go out, and he had already taken down the defense! The villain is desperately fighting his way out of a bloody way, just to report to the king! ”

"What!" Arden suddenly got up, his face full of disbelief, stretched out his hand and pointed at Gohan, and said angrily:

"Nonsense! I have worked hard in Chuyang City, and Ma Chao has no sign of sending troops at all...... What's more, if he wants to attack and defend, how can he not go through Luoyang? ”

Mu Ba also knelt down and said bitterly: "King, it must be Ma Chao who covered up people's eyes and ears and borrowed other roads to take down the next argument, Luoyang is just his disguise, we all deceived him!" ”

Gehan burst into tears and persuaded: "King, while the army is still there, hurry back to defend as soon as possible and have a showdown with Ma Chao!" ”

Ma Chao...... How many people did Ma Chao come? ”

"No less than two thousand."

Arden was stunned for a moment when he heard this, only to feel that his legs were weak, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground.

As the saying goes, a Han enemy is five Hu, Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not a vegetarian, 2,000 cavalry, enough to beat 20,000 Qiang soldiers.

Gehan wanted to persuade again, but Mu Ba hurriedly stopped:

"You can't retreat! It's hard to say whether I can defeat Ma Chao and wait for thousands of soldiers and horses, not to mention that once the brothers know that the defense has fallen, the soldiers and horses of the Ten Pavilions will disperse on their own, and what will we do to fight Ma Chao at that time? ”

Arden's eyes moved slightly, showing a hint of expectation: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Mu Ba pointed to Luoyang City, and said categorically: "Block the news, capture Luoyang in one fell swoop before Ma Chao rushes to attack, take the lives of the people and horses in the city as a hostage, and exchange a way to live with Ma Chao." ”

Arden smiled bitterly: "Ma Chao is a ruthless character who can even ignore his father's life, if he wants to threaten him, it's difficult!" ”

After a pause, he suddenly struggled to his feet, his gaze gradually becoming cold.

"However, there seems to be no other way to do it, give the order, the whole army will have a full meal, and attack the city with all its might!"

******

At the command platform of the head of Luoyang City, the generals took a break from the battle, and unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Wei, drinking water and resting in a cool place, preparing for the upcoming next battle.

Wei Rong had just killed the enemy general, and he was still on the rise, he pinched the rice ball in one hand, and shouted: "What do you say about the 10,000 army of the Qiang people, it's not just this ability!" Come back in the afternoon, kill them all the same, and leave no piece of armor behind! ”

Everyone was in a good mood when they won the first battle, and when they saw that he said something funny, they all laughed heartily.

Before he had eaten two bites of hot food, the footsteps at the head of the city sounded, revealing Fei Yi's meticulous figure, he was Zhuge Liang's spokesperson, and his identity was transcendent, so everyone stopped eating and watched.

But seeing Fei Yi rushing to Jiang Wei's side, he didn't care about saluting, and said anxiously:

"Boyo, let's quickly recall General Ma Dai, after all, the enemy army is outnumbered, and the battle in the morning is already very reluctant, if he comes to attack with all his strength in the afternoon, with the hundreds of defenders in front of him, Luo Yang is only afraid that it will be difficult to parry!"

Jiang Wei waved his hand and said, "Wen Wei is not in a hurry, according to the time, General Ma should have taken the next defense yesterday, and the news should have reached the ...... In the afternoon, Arden may not dare to attack...... If he really dares to attack, then there is no need for General Zuo to make a move, I and General Ma Dai will attack back and forth, and we will definitely be able to wipe out Arden under the city of Luoyang! ”

The generals didn't know Ma Chaoyin's plan to take down the defense, and they asked one after another when they heard the words.

Jiang Wei glanced at Fei Yi and said with a smile: "Now, there is no need to hide it......

At that moment, he roughly said Zhuge Liang's policy of "repairing the plank road in the bright and Chen Cang in the dark".

When the generals heard this, they all shouted and screamed, and the case was shot.

"You... But it's so hard to hide from us! ”

"I say, how come you haven't been worried at all these days!"

"No wonder you still dare to ask General Ma Dai to go out of the city, you have no fear!"

Everyone was gossiping, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Fei Yi frowned and shook his head: "Arden has lost his lair, and the thief is destroying himself, so why rush for a while?" Compared to this, Luoyang City is related to the military division's plan, and there must be no mistakes. It's a matter of the overall situation, Yi advises you not to be greedy for merit, or call General Ma Dai back to defend the city, so that it is safe! ”

One wants to destroy the Arden army, and the other wants to defend the city safely.

Jiang Wei sighed secretly, is Xindao going to start arguing again?

At this time, he suddenly heard that Zhao Tong was facing the city and warned: "The Qiang people have attacked!" ”

Jiang Wei couldn't argue anymore, and immediately looked out with everyone.

But under the scorching sun, the Qiang army formation was slowly moving forward like a big black blanket, and even the white-bottomed sheep's head representing Arden was also slowly moving forward, and the rumbling footsteps filled the heavens and the earth, and the smoke and dust raised high covered the sky and the sun.

Jiang Wei looked left and right, drew the knife in his hand suddenly, and laughed: "Arden must have gotten the news, and the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry!" If he retreats on his own, he may still have a way to live, but since he has killed himself, why should I not fulfill his wish! ”

After a pause, he suddenly shouted: "Everyone, today is the day when you and I will become famous!" ”

All the generals were infected by him, and they all agreed loudly, and while shouting in response, they drew their swords out of their sheaths and strode to their respective defensive areas to garrison.

Jiang Wei summoned Jiang Wu again and instructed: "Ah Wu, you immediately go out of the city from the south gate, go to the ambush of Xiangshan to find General Ma Dai, tell him that the time has come, and ask him to rush to the rear of the Qiang army immediately and choose the opportunity to attack the Arden main formation, do you know?" ”

"Yes!" Jiang Wei didn't think about it, and left loudly.

Jiang Wei called Yadan to him again, and said contemplatively: "You go and gather all the riders under the command of Zhuqiang Hao, and gather in front of the West City Gate in half an hour, and the enemy is broken at the moment, go quickly!" ”

Yadan also knew about Ma Chao, and immediately left with a smile.

After everything was assigned one by one, Jiang Wei shook his armor, walked in front of Fei Yi with a thin anger on his face, and said with a pause:

"Wei has the blood of a martial artist flowing in his body, but whenever there is a slight opportunity, he will achieve the greatest result, this difference between you and me, Brother Wen Wei really doesn't need to persuade again!"

******

The all-out blow of the Arden army came as promised.

Muba, Gohan, and even the wounded Cheriji three generals all charged in front of the front line of the army; Arden guarded a hundred guards behind the battle, but if any soldier dared to stop, they were beheaded mercilessly.

The Qiang soldiers knew that there was no other way, they were all like moths, and they sacrificed their lives one after another to kill.

And the defenders of Lüyang also knew that as long as they defended this wave of attacks, the next thing was to break Arden's splashing credit, so they also met them with full strength.

For a time, the horn was full of sky, and the murderous spirit was in the sky!

At this moment, both above and below the city had long been covered with dark red blood; The situation was urgent, and Mi Wei, who was in charge of the discussion, also led Mi Quan to fight in the city.

At this point in the battle, everyone had already lost their temper, both sides were red-eyed, attacking without regard for their bodies, guarding at the expense of their lives, and only the desire for victory in their hearts.

Arden couldn't help but urge his horse to step forward, just waiting for the moment when the city opened.

"Faster, faster!"

Although he is calm and composed on the surface, he is actually anxious. He knew that there was not much time left for him, Ma Chao must have been on his way back to help Luoyang, and he must take this city before Ma Chao arrived!

It's just that the defenders of Luoyang City are too tenacious, the two sides fought fiercely, and the Qiang soldiers attacked the city wall several times, but Luoyang City is still standing, and there is always a blue-robed general, like timely rain walking through the city, and the offensive of the Qiang soldiers is resolved one by one, and his appearance will always inspire the surrounding defenders to forge ahead, so that they have been fighting for half a day, and there is no sign of exhaustion.

"Damn! When I capture the city, if I don't divide the five horses of the blue-robed young general, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

Just as Arden was gritting his teeth, a Qiang rider recklessly rushed from the rear and stammered:

"Big... King! Behind... A large force of cavalry appeared behind...... Integrity now...... Straight for our army! ”

Arden subconsciously looked behind him, but saw smoke and dust not far away, as if thousands of troops were galloping at high speed.

"Ma Chao... Ma Chao arrived so soon! Arden was stunned, speechless for a while.

******

Naturally, all the people in the city also saw the movement in the rear of the Qiang army, and those who knew what was going on shouted loudly:

"Reinforcements are coming!"

For a while, the sound of cheering for reinforcements shook the sky, and the city soldiers burst out of nowhere with a new breath, and they fought even harder to drive away the Qiang soldiers on the city.

The movement in the rear and the excitement of the defenders also caused panic among the Qiang soldiers, who were attacked by the enemy on their backs and almost subconsciously wanted to flee back, and in a short time, they showed a rout on the whole line.

Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the battle situation at the head of the city is decided.

Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he put his fingers in his mouth, and blew a loud whistle.

In the open space of the West Gate, Zhu Qianghao and more than 300 riders under his command had already assembled, and when they saw Jiang Wei's figure in a white horse and green robe, they dismounted and knelt on the ground one after another, and said in unison:

"May I be driven by the general!"

Jiang Wei didn't say much polite words, he just immediately sang, swept Senran's eyes at everyone, and said coldly: "Everyone, get on the horse and kill Arden with me!" ”

Qiang Hao, who was swept by him, was silent, and didn't dare to make a sound, but obediently turned back to the horse and followed silently.

They know that after today's battle, the power structure of Wudu has changed greatly, and there will be no more Arden in the future.

After Wei Rong and Zhao Tong entrusted the battle at the head of the city to Mi Wei and Liu Yin, they also took their mounts and rushed to the place, and guarded Jiang Wei tightly.

"Open the gates!"

With an order, the huge west gate was slowly opened, and the wooden shaft rotated, making a sound of "quack~quack~".

Outside the city gate, a group of Qiang soldiers surrounded the giant tree, and was making a collision, when they suddenly saw the city gate open automatically, and they were all stunned when they didn't know what happened.

When he came back to his senses, a tall cavalry team had already fought out like a lightning speed, and the first person, with white horses and green robes, was unstoppable.
