Chapter Seventy-Four: Crisis
Liu Meng's arrival was soon known by the two armies, and the morale of the city was naturally greatly boosted, while the Xiliang army was temporary, and Liu Meng's arrival let them know that Niu Fu had been defeated, and there were no reinforcements from the army, so they did not attack the city wantonly again, in case Liu Meng attacked from behind.
"Back to the lord, there are still nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang, and Luoyang City is defended by Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and now there are only more than 30,000 people." Tanma reported to Liu Mengyu.
Liu Meng was taken aback, what kind of situation is this, with Luoyang Jiancheng, the battle loss is almost one to one?
In fact, of course, it is not so exaggerated, so the battle damage is because although the attack on the camp was successful, but the loss of soldiers and horses is a lot, Lu Bu lost 2,000 people, Cao Cao did not have so many cavalry, and the Xiliang army that returned to Luoyang after completing the task was reinforced, and lost three or four thousand people under a fight, otherwise the battle damage should be two to one.
Of course, if it weren't for the burning of a large number of siege equipment, maybe this Luoyang City would have changed hands when Liu Meng arrived, because with only a small number of siege equipment, Cao Cao and Lu Bu had nearly 20,000 casualties in ten days, and if they were in their heyday, they might not be able to hold out for half a month.
In fact, the two of them were also quite depressed, and they never thought that there would be such a large number of casualties as a defensive side, on the one hand, because the Xiliang Army was too fierce, and more importantly, there were too few archers in the army, and the lack of long-range strikes would have lost most of the defensive advantages, otherwise this would not have happened.
The combat effectiveness of the Western Liang Army made Liu Meng a little worried, and he decided that it was better to observe the situation of the Western Liang Army before making a decision.
So Liu Meng took his subordinates and guards to the Xiliang military camp.
Looking up, Liu Meng was shocked by the state of fighting to the death, and he finally understood why Cao Cao and Lu Bu still lost a lot of soldiers and horses while defending the city.
"It seems that this battle is really either your death or my death." Liu Meng said secretly.
This time I came just to understand the danger of Luoyang, Liu Meng after checking the state of the Xiliang Army is to extinguish the plan to fight hard, according to his estimation if the three armies are combined, it should be able to defeat the Xiliang Army, but how many people can survive is not guaranteed.
After checking it, Liu Meng planned to go back to the camp to think of countermeasures, but at this moment, he found that a large number of Xiliang troops began to move in his direction.
As the No. 2 enemy of the Xiliang Army, Liu Meng also successfully attracted hatred, and after finding out that Liu Meng's department was no more than 10,000 people, Guo Yan and others divided 20,000 horses to attack Liu Meng, leaving 40,000 people to defend the defenders in the city.
Liu Meng saw the situation and hurriedly rushed back to the camp to prepare to meet the enemy, although he did not plan to fight hard, but the battle had to be fought, and it was not the entire Xiliang army to dispatch, and it was a little too unreasonable to flee without a fight, he checked, there were only 20,000 Xiliang soldiers moving towards him, and the army was all elite, plus skills and attribute bonuses should be able to repel it.
The leader who came this time was Guo Yan, and he was relieved that Li Ru would stay behind in the camp.
The two armies took up positions.
Guo Yanyao pointed at Liu Meng and said: "You will be killed today to comfort the spirit of the lord in the sky." ”
Liu Meng didn't care at all, raised the wolf tooth gun in his hand and said, "My life is here, do you dare to take it?" ”
Liu Meng saw that the morale of the enemy army was too strong, so he thought about provoking Guo Yan to go out of the battle, and then kill him, once the Xiliang army was no longer under the command of the main general, the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
But Guo Yan was not fooled, the matter of Liu Meng's three people fighting Lu Bu had already spread all over the world, so he shouted: "Why do I need to take your life?" All the soldiers, the person in front of me is one of the culprits who led to the death of the lord, and I killed this person together to avenge the lord, and the whole army charged. ”
Liu Meng saw that Guo Yan was not fooled and didn't care, then it depends on the combat strength of their respective soldiers, Liu Meng retreated to the army to use his skills, because these elites were in a state of high morale, and the six-star tactics made Liu Meng's halberd battalion and the rattan armor army within a radius of 300 steps all become a fight to the death, almost including all these 10,000 people.
Liu Meng didn't believe that under the condition that he was fighting to the death and not retreating, the 10,000 elite troops with his nine-star attack bonus would lose to the 20,000 Xiliang army, which was mostly ordinary soldiers.
"Dong Dong Dong" With the sound of war drums, the two armies launched their own charges, but the Xiliang army looked a little weird, Guo Yan said that the whole army charged, but the Xiliang soldiers who rushed forward were only more than 2,000 people.
At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Yan's mouth.
When the two armies intersected, suddenly the Xiliang soldier took out the fire-starting object from his arms and lit it, and then threw it towards the Fujijia army, and then turned around and ran back towards the self-army.
The vine armor army was caught in flames, and suddenly the battlefield was on fire everywhere, and the wails came and went, not only the vine armor army was affected, but even the halberd battalion around the vine armor army also burned many people.
Liu Meng was stunned, he didn't expect the enemy army to see the weakness of the vine armor army, and he really brought the fire-causing thing with him to the battlefield.
This is what Li Ru thought, before the Xiliang Army had enough of the loss of the Vine Armor Army, he asked Guo Yan to go out to the battle this time to bring this fire thing in case of emergency, if Liu Meng did not bring the Vine Armor Army, it would be enough, if he brought the Vine Armor Army, he would have killed himself.
The number of the three thousand vine armor army is not small, the fire spread quickly, and the halberd battalion retreated to composure and calm from the original state of fighting to the death under the influence of the fire.
Not all the state of fighting to the death will not change, like the trapping camp formation, it is the real death battle that does not retreat into the soul of the army, there are very few troops like that, and like Liu Meng, who uses skills to upgrade to the state of fighting to the death, it will change under a serious blow, for example, at this time, a fire almost wiped out the vine armor army, and even the halberd battalion was burned to death more than 1,000 people, and the battle damage reached almost half.
The state of the Xiliang army is not really a death battle, but it is more difficult to change its state, for Liu Meng, you can use Xu Chu's big drink, but if you don't have this skill, it will be more troublesome, not only will it be seriously hit, but also the Xiliang main general will be killed, Cao Cao and Lu Bu have not reached this condition for a long time, so the Xiliang soldiers are still in a state of fighting to the death.
Liu Meng has been smooth sailing since he came to this era, and he has never encountered such a dangerous situation, but fortunately, he has also been in battle for a long time, and hurriedly came down and the whole army withdrew from the land of flames.
After the whole army withdrew, Liu Meng found that the army only had 5,000 halberd battalions at this time, and the vine armor army was completely annihilated, and the state of the remaining halberd battalions was not very good.
Liu Meng's face was very ugly, Xu Chu was not by his side at this time, he was left in Hedong, otherwise his big drink was a second-level skill, and it could also lower the morale of these Xiliang soldiers to a higher level.
