At the same time, at the west gate of Luoyang City, Ding Yuan's three thousand wolf cavalry had also arrived, and under the leadership of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, they were fighting against Dong Chong's army at the west gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the south gate, Dong Zhuo's three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry also arrived, and the leader was Dong Zhuo's newly acquired general Hu Zhen, who not only had extraordinary martial arts, but also had the ability to lead the army only Xu Rong could compare with the generals under Dong Zhuo.

Compared with the three gates at the same time, Cao Ju had the least cavalry, but Lu Bu and Hu Zhen's luck was not as good as Cao Ju's, Yuan Shu who guarded the west gate and Yuan Shao, who guarded the south gate, did not have the slightest intention of sending troops out of the city and attacking inside and outside, but just sat on the head of the city and watched Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan's cavalry fight with Dong Chong's army.

"Crunch", the north gate opened, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan took the lead, leading 10,000 Luoyang defenders to rush out, Cao Ju could see clearly, he was overjoyed, the goal was achieved, Cao Cao really sent troops.

Cao Ju shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, and the defenders of Luoyang have also been killed, and we will fight inside and outside to break the Dongzhong rebels, brothers, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and the money and beauty are just around the corner." ”

The best weapon to stimulate the sergeants is money and beautiful women, and the sergeants who are eager for power are only a few, so with Cao Ju's shout, the morale of the 1,400 cavalry rose sharply, and they gave up the Dong Chongjun who was killed less than 1,000 and killed Dong Chongjun at the city gate.

Siege warfare, the besieging side, the most worried is the situation of internal and external flanking, one is that it will damage the morale of one's own side a lot, and the other is the change of formation, the sudden flanking side will make the rear army of the besieging side have no time to change, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, not to mention that Dong Chongjun encountered a flexible and changeable cavalry, so he naturally couldn't parry.

Soon, the Dong heavy army at the North Gate was defeated by Cao Ju and Cao Cao's internal and external attacks, the North Gate city was full of blood, the bones were mountainous, 18,000 Dong Chong's army, 5,000 were killed, 10,000 surrendered, only less than 3,000 people escaped, and the siege of the North Gate was lifted.

The siege of the North Gate was lifted, and Cao Cao also rode out of the city, came to Cao Ju, and said with a smile: "The fine horsemen under the command of the horses are really majestic, and the difficulties of the North Gate are all thanks to the work of the horses." ”

Cao Ju said with a smile: "Meng De and Gu Nai brothers, why do you need to be so polite, just call Gu Zhi's words." This work of the North Gate, although you and I are together, is Mengde's first credit, and Lone will tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor truthfully. ”

Seeing that although Cao Ju was a colt, he didn't have any shelf, Cao Cao also put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Since Canghe is so gracious, Cao is disrespectful." ”

Cao Cao didn't dare to call Cao Ju by his nickname like before, and could only be commensurate with the words.

With Cao Cao's character, he is really not a person who is easy to take credit, but he watched Cao Ju's military exploits getting higher and higher, and he was indeed very envious in his heart.

Cao Ju asked with a smile: "Meng De, the defeated army fled to the east gate, is Meng De willing to go with Lone, pursue the past, and make great contributions?" ”

Cao Cao hesitated: "If Cao divides his troops from the north gate, if the Dong army at the west gate knows about it, it will be a bad plan to attack the city by taking advantage of the situation." ”

Cao Ju said with a smile: "Don't worry about Meng De, according to the news obtained by Gu, Dong Zhongying and Ding Jianyang have already sent troops, and they are fighting with Dong Dazhong's army at the west gate and south gate at the moment, and it is impossible to divide troops to attack the north gate, so let's just rest assured that we will go to make contributions." ”

Hearing Cao Ju say this, Cao Cao also put his mind at ease, and immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead 3,000 troops to defend the city, and ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead 8,000 troops to follow Cao Ju and go to the south gate to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Originally, the defenders of Luoyang were 60,000, and each city gate was 15,000 people, after more than ten days of fighting, the defenders of the north gate suffered 4,000 casualties, which was still under the proper command of Cao Cao, and the west gate defended by Yuan Shu, the damage was even greater, and there were only more than 7,000 people left of 15,000 people.

Cao Ju led the cavalry to take the lead and intercept the 3,000 routed troops, while Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan led 8,000 infantry to follow closely behind.

Lu Zhi was at the east gate, and he also got the arrival of Cao Ju, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's cavalry, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

However, Lu Zhi did not dare to take it lightly, and still calmly and steadily coped with the attack of Dong Chong's army at the East Gate, and Dong Zhong himself was personally commanding the siege of the East Gate.

The speed of the cavalry is never comparable to the infantry, even if it is Xiahou Yuan's five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, it didn't take long for Cao Ju's army to catch up with these three thousand Dong heavy routs, slaughtering while rushing forward, and then turning around and blocking the retreat of these routs.

It is not possible to go to the east or to the north, and these Dong Chong's defeated troops can only turn around and run to the west, that is, in the direction of the north gate.

Cao Ju did not chase quickly, but only ordered to advance slowly, driving these Dong Chong's defeated troops towards Cao Cao's army.

Soon, these routs were discovered, chasing soldiers before and after, intercepting later, they had already been wrapped in dumplings, and they had no fighting spirit when they landed, and immediately knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.

Cao Cao collected the weapons of Dong Chong's defeated army, sent a thousand soldiers to escort them back to the north gate, and then continued in the direction of the east gate.

Dong Chong, of course, also received the three gates of the south and northwest that were attacked by Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Cao Ju respectively, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "God doesn't bless me, my Dong clan should be destroyed." ”

The adjutant general stepped forward and persuaded: "General, retreat, once the three soldiers are defeated, the defenders of Luoyang City will come out and fight with the three cavalry, I'm afraid we won't be able to retreat." ”

Dong Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I retreat now, where can I retreat, then how can Brother and Sister He Jin let me Dong Chong live in this world?" ”

"He Jin is a traitor, even if I Dong Zhong turns into a ghost, I will not let you go." Dong Zhong suddenly roared, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and was about to kill himself.

The adjutant general's eyes were sharp, and he immediately hugged Dong Chong's right arm, and hurriedly persuaded: "General, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, the general can't be so light-hearted, if the general dies, the empress dowager's great revenge, who can come to revenge." ”

People's suicidal impulse, at that moment, once they are persuaded down, they no longer have the courage to commit suicide, and Dong Chong is the same, sighing and saying: "Okay, the defeat of the army has been decided, but for the sake of my aunt's great revenge, I, Dong Chong, will steal my life once." ”

"It's not good, Cao Ju's elite cavalry has already been killed." The adjutant general immediately saw a piece of cavalry coming from the north, and said urgently, "General, Cao Ju's cavalry has been killed, and Cao Cao's army will inevitably follow closely. ”

"You ......" Dong Chong looked at the loyal lieutenant general, his heart was excited, he patted his shoulder with trembling hands, sighed, gritted his teeth and turned to leave, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly followed. (To be continued.) )
