Chapter 129: This is War
"The whole army obeys the order, supplies on the spot, and after ten quarters of an hour, attack the city!"
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's vanguard troops had successfully reached the outside of Luoyang, because the emperor of Luoyang had been rescued by Cao Cao to Yanzhou.
Therefore, at this time, Luoyang City has been occupied by the Biren, and if you want to attack Li Dao and others, you naturally have to pass through this dilapidated imperial city first.
The whole army was busy eating the dry food that had been prepared long ago, these were specially prepared, such as mutton jerky, bread and other foods, which were easy to carry and could fill their stomachs.
The whole army was almost rested, and Zhang Liao gave the order to attack the city.
This caught the defending generals in Luoyang City a little off guard, thinking that these tens of thousands of troops would camp on the spot, but they didn't want to, so they launched an attack directly.
Originally, because there was no food in Guanzhong, the soldiers could not eat enough and could not be warmly clothed, and they had no energy to fight, but between life and death, human potential still exists, but no matter how great the potential is, it cannot defeat the soldiers in the camp who are well fed and clothed and have amazing combat effectiveness.
"When the two armies meet, the brave wins, follow me, assault, assault!"
Zhang Liao took the lead in leading the team to rush up from one side, while Gao Shun directly led people to hit the city gate, and the whole army went to the battlefield.
The brave and invincible fell into the camp, and it was just a seedling at this time, but it was such a seedling that had already made the soldiers of Luoyang City at a loss.
If you can't win, you really can't win.
Time passed in the middle of the battle, Gao Shun slammed open the city gate, and Zhang Liao had already attacked the city wall.
After rushing into the city, Zhang Liao did not stay at the city gate for long, but gave an order, and led his troops to rush along the long street all the way to the place where the palace was located.
Luoyang City was burned down by Dong Zhuo, and the current Luoyang City is still full of black houses or wreckage.
From the center of the city where the palace is located to the east gate, it is only about a mile and a half away, how can it withstand the two armies hedging against each other at such a high speed, and soon, the two armies will face each other.
As soon as he saw the light cavalry galloping on the opposite side, Zhang Liao's eyes turned red, and he broke off with a sigh of luck, kicked the horse's belly hard, and rushed like thunder. 、
"Death to the thief!"
"Kill!"
Zhang Liao used to be a fierce general under Lu Bu, he seems to be young, but his force value is quite high, and several other generals in Cao's army are on par, the key is that Zhang Liao is brave and strategic.
The general on the opposite side held a halberd and Zhang Liao's red tassel spear together, and then there was the sound of two weapons colliding with each other.
However, after a few moves, Zhang Liao dodged the attack of the enemy general, and at the same time, the spear in his hand stabbed out, like a poisonous snake, directly stabbed the body of the enemy general, and the shot was already successful, Zhang Liao ignored Lu Weihuang's howl and struggle, and with a sudden force of his arms, he had already picked it out of the horse.
After another flick, I saw that the enemy's generals had already spilled blood all the way out of Zhangxu, and smashed heavily on the street, and soon they were trampled into a puddle of mud by the cavalry of both sides that were rushing wildly.
"Ah......h
"Plop!"
With a scream, he fell to the ground, and he was already breathing in a few moments.
When the enemy soldiers saw Zhang Liao so fierce, some of them didn't dare to step forward, and they all retreated one after another.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
However, after a few moves, it was undoubtedly a brilliant victory to kill the enemy's main general, and the enemy was really frightened, and those soldiers knew that they were not the opponents of Zhang Liao, the main general, not to mention that behind Zhang Liao, there were soldiers in the camp who were eyeing each other.
"Run!
I don't know who couldn't hold on anymore, so I immediately turned around and was about to run away, screaming loudly as I ran.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were engaged in street battles in Luoyang City, and the grain baggage brigade outside the city had just arrived.
With food, it is naturally much slower than the lightly armed cavalry led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
"Damn, this general won't take us with him when he attacks the city, we've just arrived, they've already entered the city, and it won't be long before this city can be taken.
Chu Feng, do you think we should rush in now? Cao Ang had some intentions, but he also knew the priorities, so he just said it casually.
"If you want to grab the credit, you can do it, I'll protect these baggage here, and you take people in."
Cao Ang shrugged, this action was learned from Chu Feng, and he always felt that there was some inexplicable style.
"Forget it, it's better to protect the baggage and arrange people to make fire and cook for those soldiers, it's not easy for them to fight.
After a few days of traveling, and then without rest, we began to attack the city, so fortunately, we hurried, make a fire and make food! ”
Cao Ang's army naturally had soldiers from the Huotou Battalion, otherwise what they would eat along the way, the reason why they rushed so fast was actually to allow Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's trapped camp to have enough supplies.
Although Cao Ang really wanted to go to the battlefield, he also knew what he should do at this moment.
It is certainly unwise to take your own soldiers into the city to take credit.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led the trapped camp to fight desperately, and he naturally couldn't grab the credit.
When the time comes, not to mention that it will offend Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, it will also make Cao Cao look down on him.
After dealing with the last few people who were unwilling to surrender, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun took those soldiers who surrendered to the palace.
First, the surrendered soldiers were gathered together in one place for the soldiers to watch, and then some people in Luoyang City were appeased.
Knowing that Cao Ang had arrived with his baggage troops and had already begun to make a fire, he immediately sent a messenger to ask Cao Ang to distribute some food to the people in Luoyang City.
There is a great drought in the Central Plains, and there is no harvest in many places.
And because of the continuous wars in Guannai, the people are already miserable, and many people have left Luoyang, left Guannai, and settled in other places.
A former imperial capital, because of a fire lost its original prosperity, and now the people living in Luoyang City are some people who are unwilling to leave their hometown.
After Cao Ang received Zhang Liao's request, he directly dispatched his soldiers to set up a cauldron at the gate of the city with grain.
There was rice porridge boiling inside, and in a short time, the people in the city began to come out, each holding a bowl and waiting for the soup porridge.
In a place that has just experienced a great war, there are many people waiting there, waiting for a chance to fill their stomachs.
The blood on the ground had not yet dried, and some soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and corpses were piled up in the distance.
The smell of blood could be smelled in the air, and even that didn't stop the hungry people from eating.
This is war!
