Cao Pi left in time, and the next morning, the foot soldiers led by Wang Ping, Jiang Wei and others arrived in Mengjin in a large number of boats and wooden platoons.

At this time, there were still many people who were at a loss to cross the river, and when they saw a large number of Han ships coming upstream, they immediately scattered and fled.

A small number of Wei troops on duty here did not resist, and hurried back to the city to report to Xiahouwei.

Wang Ping intercepted a few people, and learned that Cao Pi had fled across the river yesterday, and now there are only a few thousand men and horses stationed in Luoyang City.

Jiang Wei asked Wang Ping: "Now are you going to chase Cao Pi or attack Luoyang City?" ”

As a new general, Jiang Wei is under the control of Wang Ping, but fortunately, he is Ge Liang's personal point, and Wang Ping and Zhang Wei have been used by Ge Liang as his right and left hands before, so there is no need to be too outside.

Wang Ping shook his head: "There is no need to chase Cao Pi." There are more of the Yulin Army with him than us, and the back is still under the jurisdiction of the Wei Army. We came lightly, and it was not good to go too deep. As for attacking Luoyang now, it is not appropriate, after all, there are still thousands of defenders there, and the number of people alone does not have the upper hand, not to mention that there are still strong cities to defend. Our mission is to flank the enemy forces that are still on the Hakoya Road and destroy the enemy's living forces. Luoyang is already an abandoned city, and it is only a matter of time before it is taken. ”

Jiang Wei leaned closer and said softly: "It's naturally good for the general to be serious." It's just that now that Cao Pi has just fled, Luoyang City is naturally in chaos. There is a huge Luoyang city, and thousands of defenders are afraid that they will not be able to keep busy. I think we can ......."

Wang Ping's eyes lit up: "This sounds like a mistake. Or try it? ”

How can this method have a sense of déjà vu?

The army packed up the wooden rows of ships, dismantled them, and hid them, and then drove towards Luoyang City in a neat formation.

The gate of Luoyang was closed, and Xiahou Wei was already draped in his whole body, waiting for him in the city.

Jiang Wei led a small number of soldiers to challenge the city: "The defenders in the city heard that you have been abandoned by Cao Pi, and the city is broken and killed in the blink of an eye, so it is better to surrender the city as soon as possible." Otherwise, when the army breaks the city, it will be killed, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

Xiahou Wei shouted at Jiang Wei: "Don't talk nonsense, you just have to let go of your hands and feet to attack the city!" ”

It seems that there are only so many of you, and when your siege of the city is frustrated, perhaps our western men and horses will also be withdrawn, and then the two roads will be attacked, and you will die without a place to be buried.

Jiang Wei didn't know Xiahou Wei yet, and when he saw the banner of the main general in the city, he asked loudly, "Which Xiahou are you?" ”

Xiahou Wei naturally didn't know a little Yuan Tianshui Gongcao, and asked rhetorically: "Who are you?" Do you deserve to know my name? ”

Jiang Wei shouted tentatively: "I don't know which Xiahou you are, but I can tell you that there is a person named Xiahou Ba Xiahou Zhongquan, who is now reuniting with his sister's family in our Cheqi General's Mansion." ”

Xiahou Wei was stunned, it turned out that the second brother was really not dead, that was really good.

However, my father was killed by you, and my second brother was captured by you, and you came here to shout loudly, did you come here to humiliate me?

He didn't allow the enemy to loudly publicize his family affairs in front of the battle, so he immediately drew his bow and arrows and shot at Jiang Wei, while shouting: "If you want to attack the city, hurry up, don't shout here!" ”

It's just that the arrow was deliberately biased.

Jiang Weiluo took a few steps back and shouted at Xiahou Wei: "How is it archery?" Didn't you also prepare a large number of catapults? You should vote for me a few times to see who is better than ours. ”

These words made Xiahou Wei's nose crooked.

These animal husbands are too arrogant, they are so arrogant and humiliating, and they don't take us seriously at all!

Originally, because they told his brother's whereabouts, he was temporarily merciful, but now he will never be polite again!

Since you want to be smashed, I really don't believe that I can't kill you!

I heard that you don't need catapults in Xuchang, but there are some divine bird Yin soldiers to help attack the city, I'll see what kind of birds you can fly out this time!

Xia Houwei raised the command flag, and he wanted to call the catapults that had been loaded and ready to go for a long time to launch together.

At this moment, Wang Ping, who was far away, suddenly asked the sergeant to ring the gong loudly, which was a signal for Jiang Wei to evacuate urgently.

Jiang Wei turned around and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

The dozen or so sergeants who followed quickly turned around and ran away!

And the large army formed in the distance also turned around and left quickly to the west.

Xiahou Wei's hand holding the Ling Qi high stopped in mid-air, and his open mouth couldn't be closed, and the order to "release" couldn't be put out of his mouth.

This—this, this, this, what's going on?

These guys are screaming so arrogantly, why haven't I even released my words, and you just ran away?

Don't take such teasing people!

There are generals around him who are happy: "Hahaha! These rats ran away in fright, it's a shame! ”

The rest of the people's tense hearts also let go and laughed.

Xiahou Wei came to his senses, shook his head and frowned: "No, even if these guys who are close are afraid of being smashed, their army is in a formation, and it is impossible for our catapults to fight that far, so it makes no sense that those people will turn around and run." ”

The laughter of the crowd immediately stopped, but no, this trebuchet enemy uses more than us, so it is impossible to be so afraid.

Look at how fast the enemy is! The perimeter of this Luoyang City is endless, and after a while, the enemy is almost too quick to see clearly.

There must be a ghost in this! It's just that you look at me, I look at you, and no one has figured it out.

After a long time, someone tentatively asked: "General, could it be because our Western Route Army has withdrawn, and the enemy is afraid of being flanked by us, so he quickly turned around and blocked the attack?" ”

Xiahou Wei's heart jumped, it was possible!

Then he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, I just received the information today, and they are still a whole day's journey from here." ”

There was another silence before someone whispered: "Perhaps, our soldiers on the western route know the news that they may be flanked by the enemy, and it is not necessary to speed up the pace of retreat. Besides, the army has infantry and cavalry, and it may not be necessary to send light cavalry to explore the road first. ”

Someone else chimed in: "If it is really us who have arrived nearby now, then we will go to meet it now, and we will be able to flank the enemy in front and back in turn." Seeing that the enemy is running in such a panic, if we take the opportunity to go out in pursuit, we may be able to destroy these aggressive enemies outside the city, and then our army can safely withdraw to Luoyang. ”

It makes sense, it all makes sense! Xiahou Wei naturally hoped that this was the case, but he still didn't dare to attack easily.

From the mouths of the generals and officials who had returned from the defeat in the pass, he already knew that these enemies were very cunning, and they never liked to storm the city, but to deceive!

What if it is another trick of the enemy to trick our people out of the city and be exploited by the enemy? A fortified city is about to be handed over to others.
