Luoyang City, almost clearly visible, Cao Ju settled Liu Mu and others in a village, sent Huang Zhong to lead a hundred soldiers to guard the safety, and then took the remaining 1,400 people and rushed to Luoyang City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ju's march was very careful, broken into pieces, encountered Dong Chong's scouts, immediately surrounded and killed, and at the same time quickly approached Luoyang City, less than half an hour, it was already less than five miles outside the north gate of Luoyang City.

This is the second time Cao Ju stationed outside the north gate to look at the horse, the first time is that he came to Luoyang from Qiaocheng to join Cao Cao, the second time is today, although it is only half a year, but Cao Ju's changes are earth-shaking.

Dong Chong's army is still violently attacking Luoyang City, but every day is full of corpses, Luoyang City is still standing, and the morale of Dong Chong's army has fallen a lot.

From two days ago, Lu Zhi asked people to copy thousands of copies of the holy decree he asked for from the Empress Dowager He, tied them to arrows, and shot them out of the city, saying that this time it was only Dong Chong's rebellion, and the rest of them could be acquitted as long as they no longer acted rebellious.

Coupled with the onslaught on Luoyang City for more than ten days, countless casualties, without any merit, the morale of Dong Dazhong's army plummeted, if it weren't for the fact that he usually treated the soldiers well, I was afraid that the army would have mutinied yesterday.

Dong Chong is anxious, his aunt Empress Dowager Dong has been killed by the He brothers and sisters, and he has been accused of rebellion.

As for the grain and grass, it is about to run out, the generals sent by Dong Zhong to transport grain have disappeared for a long time, and the surplus grain in the army is only enough for the army for three or five days, if he can't capture Luoyang City, he can only be a dead end.

"Attack, no matter what the cost, you must take Luoyang City today, pass the lone army order, which one is the first to attack the city, reward 100 gold, promote to the third level, break the city gate, reward 1000 gold, seal the pavilion marquis."

With Dong Chong's heavy reward, the morale of the army that fell for two days suddenly rose to the extreme again, and the offensive suddenly became much more violent, doubling the pressure on the city, and Lu Zhi's heart sank, today's battle is the key, and success or failure is in one fell swoop.

Dong Zhong was also in a hurry, rewarding hundreds of gold, thousands of gold, and being promoted to the third level or something, he could be the master, but Feng Tinghou could only be the emperor's right, but he shouted out, saying that if it was serious, it was the crime of rebellion.

Cao Ju watched for a long time, and felt that Dong Chong's army attacking the city was a little tired, so he immediately shouted: "Evil comes, pass on the order of the lonely army, the whole army will be killed, and Dong Chong's rear army will be directly taken." ”

"Arrow formation, the whole army kills." Dian Wei immediately raised an iron halberd, roared, took the lead, and rushed towards the north gate of Luoyang, 1,400 cavalry like a tide, arranged into the most effective offensive formation, and galloped towards Dong Chong's rear army.

Soon, Cao Ju's military horse was seen by the defenders of Luoyang, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and many soldiers shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived, brothers, work hard, you must hold the city without losing." ”

Fourteen hundred cavalry galloped together, and the earth tremor caused by it naturally alarmed Dong Chong's army, and many soldiers exclaimed: "It's not good, Luoyang City reinforcements have arrived, Luoyang City reinforcements have arrived, and the big thing is not good." ”

Dong Chong was not at the North Gate, and it was Dong Chong's deputy general who was responsible for attacking the North Gate, who had followed Huangfu Song to crusade against the Yellow Turbans before, and he had some battlefield experience.

It's a pity that almost all of the Yellow Turban Army are infantry, and only Zhang Jiao's 3,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers are cavalry, so this deputy general doesn't understand the power of light cavalry, and seeing that Cao Ju only has more than 1,000 people, he divided 3,000 people to resist.

However, these 3,000 infantry were not vulnerable to Cao Ju's cavalry at all, and they were suddenly rushed to pieces, unable to stop Cao Ju's cavalry.

After Cao Ju broke the 3,000 soldiers, he did not rush into Dong Chong's army, but wandered around and shot at Dong Chong's soldiers, and within a while, Dong Chong's soldiers had hundreds of casualties.

The lieutenant immediately mobilized archers to deal with Cao Ju's cavalry, but Cao Ju's cavalry was very cunning, and turned around and rushed towards more than 2,000 soldiers, but this time it was not an arrow formation, but two pieces of bread, ready to make dumplings for more than 2,000 soldiers.

After more than ten days of siege, Dong Chong's 100,000-strong army suffered heavy casualties, and now there are less than 80,000 people left, scattered to four gates, and each gate is less than 20,000.

In fact, this is the reason why Cao Ju chose to attack at the north gate, because the defender of the east gate is Lu Zhi, the guard of the south gate is Yuan Shao, and the guard of the west gate is Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers have a gap with Cao Ju, if Cao Ju chooses those two to attack, these two guys will definitely not cooperate, and in the end, even if they defeat Dong Chong's army of that gate, most of the 1,400 cavalry will be damaged. Lu Zhi, compared with Huangfu Song, was too cautious and lacked changes, otherwise, in Guangzong City, he would not have confronted Zhang Jiao for a long time, and there was no progress, so that he was overseen by the Yellow Gate.

Therefore, Cao Ju did not dare to take risks, in case Lu Zhi was cautious and did not attack inside and outside, the loss could only be Cao Ju's own, then, only the north gate was the safest, Cao Ju firmly believed that Cao Cao would definitely lead the army out of the city and cooperate with him to attack inside and outside.

Sure enough, when I saw the big banner of the commander of the sudden cavalry regiment with a big word "Cao" written on it, and then took a closer look at those invincible fierce generals, weren't they Cao Ju, Cao Chun, Cao Peng, Dian Wei and Hua Xiong and others? Cao Cao was overjoyed, and almost did not hesitate, and immediately shouted: "Yuan Rang, Miaocai, and you quickly led 10,000 troops, went out of the city to meet the enemy, cooperated with Canghe, attacked inside and outside, and wiped out the rebels at the North Gate in one fell swoop." ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan did not hesitate, although they had always had an opinion on Cao Ju, but they understood that now was also a good opportunity for Cao Cao to make contributions, so they responded together and hurriedly went down to the city tower to rectify the soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao commanded the sergeants to continue to resist the siege of Dong Chong's army, while watching Cao Ju's cavalry under the city gallop flexibly and diversely, almost unilaterally slaughtering the three thousand Dong Chongjun, and secretly praised in his heart, Aju's cavalry is really powerful, it has only been half a year, and it is not under Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry at all.

Five years ago, Dong Zhuo succeeded Lu Zhi to attack Guangzong City, although the army was defeated, but the scene of Dong Zhuo's rescue from the Yellow Turban Army of hundreds of his own was forever imprinted in Cao Cao's heart.

At this time, the world was not in turmoil, and Cao Cao was only envious of Cao Ju, and he did not have the idea of building a cavalry of his own. (To be continued.) )
