Time passed slowly, the sun finally slowly went down, the sky returned to darkness, the evening breeze was cool, but the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and there was already a faint scene of "white bones exposed in the wild". On both sides, enough soldiers had to be drawn to collect the bodies and bury them.

On this Mayday day, Feng Zhou and Sima Yi's mood was like entering the midwinter wax moon, entering the ice and snow, they were all the same desire to cry without tears, they were all the same depressed, and they were all the same hearts like knives, and they were inexplicably sad and angry!

Although 5,000 horses were exterminated and the state was flying, the sealing of the boat was by no means cheap and obedient. After a whole day of bloody battles, the Han army lost more than 4,000 soldiers, Wei Yan's Wei Wu elite soldiers fought 5,000, more than half of the soldiers were killed, and the total casualties of the Bai Yu soldiers, the Wudang Fei army and the Beiwei army were also close to 2,000 people. As for the loss of war horses, weapons and baggage, as well as the number of wounded soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries and minor injuries, those were even more numbers that Feng Zhou couldn't bear to look at, so much so that when His Majesty the Emperor just saw this battle damage statistics, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

"I can't stand the soldiers, I didn't expect the Wei army to be so tenacious, Sima Yi to be so cunning, I am not well prepared, I am careless, I really underestimate the enemy!"

The emperor of the Han Dynasty blamed himself so much that he almost wanted to cry, so that neither the army nor the generals could hold back, so he asked Feng Zhou to personally preside over the burial ceremony of the soldiers of the Han army.

Although Ci is not in charge of the army, he is not responsible for financial management, but Feng Zhou is not a real hero in troubled times after all, he should have been a poor man who was frail and died of illness on the bed, it was God who gave him the opportunity to be reborn, so that he could experience eternal life, so seeing these corpses fighting for him, Feng Zhou was very sad in his heart, and even knelt directly in front of the soldier's spiritual position, silent for a long time, and insisted on keeping a night for the heroic Han soldiers, so nervous that many civil and military generals stayed by the emperor's side all night.

Of course, the other Han soldiers were deeply moved, almost all of them burst into tears, and one by one they were full of enthusiasm, deeply proud that they had such a good emperor, and were willing to serve His Majesty the emperor to the death.

And in Luoyang City, the general Sima Yi almost vomited blood and fainted.

Because the losses of the Wei army were almost twice as high as those of the Han army.

In fact, the defense of the city was backed by a strong city, and he could fight more with less, and his casualties would never exceed that of the attacking side, but Sima Yi thought that he would finish his work in one battle, so that he continued to mobilize the Shu Han army, and finally sent 5,000 Bingzhou flying cavalry was lost, and a large number of generals, including Zhang Hu, the Marquis of Yicheng, died on the battlefield.

Although the rest of the troops fled back to Luoyang in formation, they also suffered a lot of losses, and even the unparalleled tiger and leopard cavalry could hardly recover their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

In just one day, the elite of the 8,000 Wei army was killed on the battlefield, and as for the light and serious wounded, the loss of war horses and heavy losses, it was extremely heavy.

After this battle, as long as there are no accidents in the next battle, Sima Yi can only retreat into the city, hoping that Cao Rui, who is far away in Yecheng, can lead the army as soon as possible and come to the rescue.

However, after this battle, both sides reassessed their own strength and the strength of the other party, and both began to use troops cautiously.

A month later, Feng Zhou lined up the trebuchets built and attacked day and night, but Luoyang City was a triple city gate, and he was not afraid of the attack of stone bullets at all, and the trebuchets on the city head were taller and farther in attack power, so the trebuchets of the Han army did not cause any damage to the head of Luoyang City, but were smashed by the other party a lot, and the surrounding soldiers were also killed and wounded.

Fengzhou then launched a new type of cloud ladder invented by Zhuge Liang, gathered a hundred cloud ladders, a ride can stand more than a dozen people, surrounded by wooden planks. The sergeants each took a short ladder and a soft rope, listened to the drums in the army, and went up to the city together.

But Sima Yi had already taken precautions and resisted with fire, so that the Han army was burned to death by hundreds of people, and he could only withdraw his troops with gold.

In the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was a very difficult thing to attack the city, and it took a year to capture Nanjun with Zhou Yu's ability, and it took Guan Yu ten years to take Xiangfan under the ancient times that Cao Ren strategically abandoned.

In history, Zhuge Liang's second Northern Expedition, attacking a Chen Cang, took a lot of effort and could not advance an inch.

Therefore, with Sima Yi's ability, once he calms down, he will play defense wholeheartedly, and with 100,000 defenders and sufficient money, food and equipment, it will not be a problem to hold Luoyang.

Therefore, Fengzhou besieged for three months in a row, but still could not capture Luoyang.

At this time, it was already August, the weather was hot, and the Han army camp was forced to move to the mountain.

In order to prevent Sima Yi from setting fire to the mountain, Fengzhou had to arrange enough soldiers to defend it.

But Sima Yi didn't think about it that way.

He didn't dare to send his troops out of the city.

Otherwise, once you are entangled by that mad emperor, then you will only lose another centaur.

Yecheng, Tongque Terrace.

There were two people sitting facing each other in the main hall.

One person is young, about twenty years old, but he is Yinghua introverted and extraordinary.

The other man was a sturdy man, with short hair and yellow hair.

It was Cao Rui, the emperor of the Great Wei, and Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng of the Great Wei.

Cao Zhang has the ambition of Wei Huo, and has a thousand catties of huge strength, and when he is weak, he can hunt tigers with his bare hands, and he is a warrior in the world.

It's just that because of the heavy and small literature, the so-called Cao Cao was not established as the son.

After Cao Pi inherited the throne of the King of Wei, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, who competed with him for the position of the prince, were very jealous.

After Cao Rui ascended the throne, he withdrew the watchers and let the two uncles live a normal life.

However, after he went north to Yecheng, he also brought the two uncles to Yecheng casually, because he knew that when the country was in danger of survival, he had to reuse the third uncle Cao Zhang.

"Third uncle, you have been wronged all these years. Cao Zhang said.

"Your Majesty is relieved, and the minister is inexplicably grateful. Over the years, I have lived in Rencheng in peace, and I have become accustomed to it. Cao Zhang said lightly, with respect in his tone.

He is not Cao Zhi's scribe who only drinks and plays tricks all day long, in fact, he is also very deep in his heart.

Since he failed to compete for the position of the prince of the world, he has lived in seclusion for nearly ten years, and he has already completely sharpened his mind, hiding his inner ambition in his heart and never exposing it to outsiders.

At this time, I dare not say that his heart is as deep as the sea, but it is enough to hide his truest emotions.

"Now that I can be in the storm, the famous generals have fallen, the city has been lost, I want to ask the third uncle to go out of the mountain and repel Liu Chan, I don't know what the third uncle wants?"

Cao Zhanghu's eyes widened, and a domineering spirit rose awe-inspiringly, and he said to Cao Rui: "The king has an order, the state has an edict, and the minister is willing to follow the emperor's order to go south to conquer Shu Han and solve the danger of Luoyang." ”

"Okay!" Feeling Cao Zhang's desire to fight, Cao Rui was very happy, he knew that Cao Zhang's person was eager to fight on the battlefield, and he was a straight man, and he sent him to conquer Liu Chan, which was also considered to be the best use of his talents.

After all, after going north to Yecheng, Great Wei couldn't find a better commander candidate.

Of course he didn't know that at this time, Cao Zhang's heart had already ignited a raging fighting spirit.

"I know that as long as I don't die, I will have a chance to make a comeback! This time, I will lead the army to repel Liu Chan and save Luoyang, then I can regain my supreme prestige in the army, and at that time, I can re-establish my ambition and fight for the rivers and mountains again!"

Zihuan was weak and timid, and was defeated by Liu Chan. If it is me who inherits the position of the son, how can there be a time for Liu Adou to be powerful. ”

"I, Cao Zhang, am the concubine of Emperor Taizu Wu, and I have also been powerful in the desert, this time, I want to completely defeat Liu Chan and reorganize the mountains and rivers!"

He thought so to himself. On his face, he didn't show anything at all, he was still a simple and robust soldier who looked at death as if he were at home, Cao Rui couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and even Zhao Yan, Hu Zhen, Jiang Ji and other important ministers who followed him didn't see the flaws.

Everyone thinks that Cao Pi is dead, Cao Rui has ascended the throne, and the world has long since changed.

Cao Rui then ordered to appoint Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, as the lieutenant of Sili, and led 50,000 troops to the south to rescue Luoyang, and appointed Hu Zhen as the former general to follow Cao Zhang.
