Under the command of Xu Bu Chiyi, the battle of the Xia army in Bingzhou slowly changed the rhythm of defense, and the defense line continued to move back, and under the "persecution" of the Zhao army, it was resisted layer by layer.

Giving up Shangyao Village, but it does not mean that you have given up the danger of Taihang, from Shangyao to the flat land of Luxian County, there are nearly 30 miles of mountain roads. Subu Chiyi relied on this last narrow road to obstruct the march of the Zhao army layer by layer.

The front sent troops to resist the enemy, and set up a village along the road two or three miles away, so that the Zhao army could be broken one by one. There was no military fortress, so one or two thousand people were sent to defend it, and the casualties were large, and they could not hold it, so they retreated decisively, and then the newly established defensive military fortress became an obstacle to the westward advance of the Zhao army.

Originally, the Xia army retreated, Yuan Shao was quite excited, and slowly came back to his senses. After taking over the defensive command from Subu Chiti, the Xia army changed its style of operation, perhaps because he personally supervised the army, and fought to the death from top to bottom, causing a lot of casualties to the Zhao army.

"Zhao Gong, the Xia army is guarding the village layer by layer, obviously trying to slow down our army and wear down the morale of our army. These days, the soldiers of the battalions are tired and fighting, and there are many complaints. The battle line has also been stretched longer, and if it drags on for a while, it will be disadvantageous for our army! Frustrated with deep words, he said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was also a little annoyed, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he smashed the handsome case hard: "Lone also understands, but it has come to this point, and he can only persevere!" ”

"Zhao Gong, there are less than ten miles left from the west out of Taihang! But in the past two days, the resistance of the Xia army has obviously become more resolute, and they will not let us break through this last distance easily! Zhao Jun's "mountain warfare expert" Jiang Yiqu got up and said.

"It's less than ten miles, but it's like a moat!" Yuan Shao hated and hated.

"Ordered the army, even if Lone bulldozes this group of mountains, Lone must enter the party. Our army is tired, and so is the Xia army. Even if you boil it, you have to boil them to death! Yuan Shao said coldly.

Gao Lan in the south, and Lu Yi, who had divided his troops to the north, had begun to march to Bingzhou, and in the face of the main army led by Yuan Shaoqin, Subu Chiti was a little staggered.

"Also, kill all the hundreds of Xia army prisoners and present them in front of the enemy village to deter them!" Unsettled, Yuan Shao's eyes showed a ruthless look, and he commanded coldly.

"Zhao Gong can't! This move is hurtful and easy to backfire, which is really unacceptable! Hearing this, his face changed, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "In this way, I'm afraid it will cause Xia Zu to resist more strongly!" ”

Glaring at him fiercely, Yuan Shao leaned back, and his complexion returned to normal a little. It seemed that he had listened to it, raised his eyes and looked at the Chinese martial arts, and said lightly: "Jiang Yiqu, let the soldiers of the village retreat, and you lead the army to drive those prisoners to attack the village!" ”

"Obey the order!"

......

To the west of Luoyang and north of Yangqu, a large-scale warring between Xia and Wei ended, and the soldiers of both sides had disengaged, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides were scattered on the field.

Everywhere there were traces of the fierce battle, the land was stained red with blood, the smell of blood was everywhere, and the water in the canals near the battlefield was stained, but it still flowed.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Yuandong's speed to Hangu was one step faster, and he could find out the situation in Luoyang. Although he wants to defend the main thing, when he is in charge of the army, Liu Yuan will not choose to defend it. Led the army straight to the east, went down to the valley city, and looked at Luoyang from afar.

Cao Ren, who was quite arrogant before, is honest now, although he really wants to lead the army to compete with Liu Yuan, but in the face of more than 30,000 elite Xia troops, it is Liu Yuan's personal expedition, and he will not do unwise things. and Liang Xi migrated the people to the east, leading 5,000 troops and horses to garrison Luoyang, and did not dare to go out lightly.

Liu Yuan did not rashly attack Luoyang, and used Gucheng as a base to send a cavalry army to invade Henan. Cao Ren was busy clearing the wilderness, Liu Yuan helped him, and half of the autumn grain in Helu County was destroyed by the Xia army, and the people who failed to contain the city were all reduced to exiles and were ruthlessly driven further east. In a short period of time, there was a bloody storm and bloody rain in the territory of Heluo, and there were many dead and wounded.

Xia Jun was so presumptuous, Cao Ren, who stayed in Luoyang City, was furious and thunderous, but he kept gritting his teeth and persevering, under great pressure, to appease the soldiers and people in the city.

Until Cao Cao led the army to the west, in the face of the erosion of the river, endured his anger and calmly marched. Liu Yuan sent Xia Qi to intrude, but it had little effect, and he saw that he had entered Luoyang.

Liu Yuan and Cao Cao have been "fascinated" for a long time, and they have always only heard of their names, but not their people. This is the first time that the two have faced each other head-on. For the first time, they fought directly, each leading tens of thousands of elite soldiers and competing for power.

As soon as Cao Cao arrived, Liu Yuan slowly withdrew the cavalry that had swept eastward, but under its cover, Liu Heng and Liu Gui quietly led the army east into Yuzhou, ready to surprise Cao Cao.

sent a war letter to Cao Cao, repaired for a period of time, Cao Cao has a strong army, and there is no reason to be afraid of him Liu Yuan. Decisively led the army to the west and held on to Yangqu with the Xia army. The Cao army was 50,000, and the Xia army was 30,000 and five horses.

Liu Yuan and Cao Cao, the army led by them, are the most elite troops of the two countries, fighting in the field on the plains, fighting half a catty and eight taels, and no one can help anyone. The Wei army, with its strict military formation and the elite of its soldiers, was enough to shake the Xia cavalry. Xia Jun is not bad, plus Liu Yuan is not stupid enough to charge the battle with a cavalry army, and after being entangled for two days, it is not a small damage.

Cao Jun's difficulty can be felt only through this "muscle collision and shirtless fight". When the battle was fierce, Liu Yuan couldn't help but send that armor horse to try, but he forcibly held back.

The fierce battle was fruitless, and the soldiers were wasted, and Liu Yuan and Cao Cao consciously withdrew their troops and stopped fighting. In the confrontation in the past two days, Liu Yuan and Cao Cao actually had some tacit understanding, it was just a tentative battle, and now the two sides are deep and shallow, and they are a little counted.

Looking at the retreating Wei army, which was still tight and orderly, Liu Yuan's eyes were full of jealousy, and the neighing of the war horses was accompanied by the howling of the autumn wind, and the weather became colder.

"Withdraw! Back to Valley City! Liu Yuan ordered to the left and right.

Military orders were issued layer by layer, and the Xia army slowly withdrew. In the Wei army array, Cao Cao also squinted, sat cross-legged on the car, and looked at the Xia army array with squirming heads in the distance, and the hardcover cavalry saw him with envy.

"Liu Yuan can lay such a foundation, his army is really not to be underestimated, after so many years, the combat power is still terrifying!" Cao Cao sighed.

"Ahem!" Xi Zhicai still looked sick, coughed twice, and his voice was full of exhaustion: "Yes, Xia Jun should not be underestimated, and he should not be careless." ”

Looking at Xi Zhicai's sick appearance, Cao Cao's eyes flashed a gloomy, and he said something, but was stopped by Xi Zhicai: "The minister's body is clear by himself, and the king doesn't have to worry!" ”

"In the opinion of the ministers, Yuan Shao and Jun Shangshang have many powerful soldiers, but because of this, they attract the Xia State to defend with heavy troops, and it is not easy to make a breakthrough. Especially on the front line of Hangu, with Liu Yuan personally in charge, it is even more difficult to break through! ”
