30,000 soldiers attacked from the eight gates of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, led by Li Kai, Li Wei's lieutenant general, and rushed all the way to the middle of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Who is it that can see through my formation?" Huangfu Song's face showed a solemn look. Although attacking from the eight gates will cause great losses, it can really break Huangfu Song's formation.
"There are high-ranking people in Li Dao's army to help, and I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight." Looking at the soldiers who attacked from the Eight Gates, Chen Gong also frowned. In his original plan with Huangfu Song, this battle should first defeat the spirit of Li Daojun, and then contact the family in Luoyang to capture Luoyang in one fell swoop. The families in Luoyang are all grass on the wall, if they can't get a certain advantage, how can they help each other.
"Change formation, withdraw troops." Huangfu Song gave the order to retreat, because he knew that if this battle continued, the only result would be defeat for both sides, and Li Dao Guo Yan had a vast depth and could replenish his troops at any time.
Although Huangfu Song guarded the vast area of Luoyang Baguan, most of these territories were sparsely populated, and it was difficult to replenish the troops, that is to say, if Huangfu Song lost too many soldiers and horses here, how could he take the strong Luoyang City.
Huangfu Song withdrew his troops, and after being broken by King Xu Huang, the army retreated thirty miles.
Looking at the retreating Huangfu Song army, Jia Xu frowned slightly, because the battle did not meet his expectations. In his expectation, Emperor Fu Song and Li Dao should both lose in this battle, and then clear the way for the vanguard army led by Chen Xun.
"Why is Mr. Jia sullen?" Looking at Jia Xu, who was frowning, Li Wei asked with concern.
Jia Xu first bowed, and then said: "General Qiyu, this battle is a little different from my expectations, originally this battle can destroy part of the main force of Huangfu Song, even if our army has suffered heavy casualties, it can recover with a broad depth, but now Huangfu Song has retreated, and the main force has almost no losses." ”
"Mr. Jia, you are too worried, this battle Huangfu Song was defeated, the army retreated thirty miles, the spirit has been lost, and there is no grain and grass in Luoyang Baguan, most of the grain and grass in Luoyang area are in Luoyang City, as long as it is delayed for a little longer, waiting for Huangfu Song's grain and grass to run out, our army can defeat Huangfu Song's main force in one battle and take the land of Luoyang Baguan."
Jia Xu bowed and said, "The general is talented, and he is ashamed." ”
Li Dao chuckled and said, "Mr. praised it falsely. However, it can be seen from Li Wei's tone that he is very useful to Jia Xu's words.
After Huangfu Song's army retreated, Chen Xun's vanguard army also arrived at Guangcheng Pass. Guangchengguan is located in the south of Guangchengyuan placed by Han Guangwu, known as "two mountains and one river", its northeast has Changworm Mountain, Niangniang Mountain, Monk Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, Panlong Mountain, southwest has Dama Mountain, Dahuling, since ancient times is the fortress leading to Ruying.
It was Li Ru's idea to march from Guangcheng Pass, Dong Zhuo had been operating in Luoyang for many years, and Li Ru was in charge of intelligence, so he proposed to Chen Xun to march from Changworm Mountain in the northeast of Guangcheng Pass, because Li Ru had a secret passage leading to Guangcheng Pass.
As soon as Chen Xun arrived at Guangcheng Pass, he ordered to call a battle under the pass, and the one who called the battle was the former general of the Xiliang Army, Huaxiong Hua Wenkai.
Hua Xiong this person is not only excellent in martial arts, but also first-class, under his call, many generals in Guangcheng Pass asked to go out of the pass to face the battle, but was stopped by the guard of Guangcheng Pass Huangfu Li, Huangfu Li is the nephew of Huangfu Song, few talents, and also has a certain prestige in the army, this time he was ordered by Huangfu Song to guard Guangcheng Pass, to ensure that Cao Cao and other princes behind the sneak attack.
"Guangcheng Pass is strong, the terrain is dangerous, it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, Chen Xun's army called a battle under Guangcheng Pass but did not lead the troops to attack, it is afraid of the terrain of Guangcheng Pass, this battle our army only needs to hold the pass and wait until Chen Xun's army runs out of food and grass to defeat it." I have to say that Huangfu Li himself has a certain personality charm, and under his persuasion, the generals of Guangcheng Pass gave up the idea of going out of the customs to fight Chen Xun.
Chen Xun's camp, a white-faced general asked Chen Xun
"General, the defenders of Guangcheng Pass are only 2,000 people, and our army has a full 20,000, why not take Guangcheng Pass in a battle, but camp under the pass." This person's name is Yu Ban Taishan Juping, who was originally a general of Bao Xin's ministry and later belonged to Cao Cao. This person is brave and resourceful, and he is a rare general.
Hearing this, Chen Xun smiled slightly and said: "General Yu, the terrain in Guangcheng is dangerous, and I am afraid that there will be heavy losses in tackling key problems now, and I promised that when the sun sets tomorrow, our army will definitely plant a flag on Guangcheng Pass." ”
Yu Ban frowned, if it weren't for the person in front of him who was Chen Xun and Chen Fuzhi, who were famous all over the world, he would definitely turn against him, because Cao Cao had already set a goal in this battle and would take Luoyang within twenty days.
The consumption of grain and grass for an army of 100,000 is by no means a small amount, and Cao Cao is a complete shortage of food.
Looking at Yu Ban in front of him, Chen Xun smiled and said, "The general doesn't have to worry, I, Chen Fuzhi, don't speak." By the way, general, did the news that Cao Gong took me as the vanguard in this battle reached the ears of the guards of Luoyang Baguan? ”
Yu Ban said: "In this battle, our army marched fast, and the general did not allow us to play the banner of Chen Zi, and the defenders who wanted to come to Luoyang Baguan should not know that the general led the troops to come, but my deputy general thought that he was the vanguard officer of this dispatch." ”
Chen Xun nodded and said, "Okay, I know, pass on the order to hang my big flag in the camp at noon tomorrow." ”
Yu Ban was very puzzled by this, it was Chen Xun who asked them not to hang the banner, and now it was Chen Xun who made him play the banner.
In Changworm Mountain, a big Kansai man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked in the mountains with hundreds of soldiers dressed in black. This person is Hu Che'er, this time he was ordered by Chen Xun to lead three hundred elite soldiers from the trail of Changworm Mountain to Guangcheng Pass, and then help the army take Guangcheng Pass.
At noon on the second day, the sun was shining, and the faces of the soldiers at the head of Guangcheng Pass were covered with sweat.
Suddenly, a noise was heard, and it seemed to be still behind Guangchengguan. The soldier guarding the city rubbed his eyes, and saw a black spot behind him rushing towards the pass.
"Quickly wipe out this gang of thieves." Looking at the soldiers and horses killed from the rear, Huangfu Li's face was full of sweat, and the soldiers and horses stationed in Guangchengguan were also in chaos because of this group of soldiers and horses.
"General Yu, hang up my banner and prepare to tackle key problems." Looking at the noon sun, Chen Xun prepared to fight according to the plan. The 20,000 elite soldiers were already wearing armor and holding spears in front of the battle.
"Chen Xun is here, you haven't surrendered early." Chen Xun was wearing white armor and holding a cloud-piercing spear to call out for battle under the city.
Looking at Chen Xun, who was like a god of war, the soldiers guarding the city were even more riotous.
