Cao Wei's 80,000 troops poured into Hangu Pass one after another, only entering less than 20,000, and then they were counterattacked by Zhang Liao, who had long been ready to attack in the pass, and Zhang Liao had more soldiers and horses, 70,000 in the headquarters, and 50,000 new troops brought by Ma Chao, a total of 120,000!

Zhao Yun rode the dust gun and opened his jaw, and at that moment, Sima Yi, who was not far away and wanted to escape, widened his eyes, as if he had lost his hearing, and only saw the slow motion of his jaw vomiting blood and falling off the horse, and his heart trembled.

Jin Ma Chao was also unwilling to be reluctant, harvesting the enemy's life domineering, by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao charged in front, behind the Taiping army momentum was high, a moment to press the Cao army back outside the city, after reoccupying the city gate, archers and crossbowmen are standing at the head of the city, facing the dense panicked Cao soldiers outside the pass, launched a merciless shooting.

Zhang Jaw was killed, Sima Yi was captured, and the three armies of Cao Wei had no commander, which was like headless flies in Hangu Pass, scurrying around, whether to attack or retreat, no one knew.

However, under the attack of the rain of arrows on the Guancheng, Cao Wei's soldiers and horses could not enter the pass, so the soldiers instinctively chose to retreat.

Seeing this on the city tower, Zhang Liao ordered to stop shooting, and then said to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao: "Please ask the two generals to lead an army of 100,000 to pursue the victory, and be sure to break through Luoyang." ”

Of course, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun would not shirk, and immediately gathered the troops and horses, waved the army to pursue, and only Zhang Liao led an army of 20,000 to guard Hangu Pass.

Thinking of the captured enemy generals, Zhang Liao ordered people to clean up the battlefield while asking people to escort Sima Yi up.

Above the city, Sima Yi looked defeated, and when he saw Ma Chao Zhao Yun leading the army outside the city to pursue all the way, he sighed in his heart: A complete defeat.

There is a section of terrain to the east of Hangu Pass that is very narrow, and this Taiping army will definitely be able to win a great victory when they go to chase and kill Cao's army.

How many of these 80,000 soldiers and horses can return to Luoyang? Definitely no more than ten thousand!

Zhang Liao looked Sima Yi up and down, although he was wearing armor, but he looked more elegant and elegant, don't ask first, Zhang Liao called his own soldiers in front of him, and said: "Send someone to collect some Cao soldiers' clothes to change into, and go to Wancheng Cao Zhen for help, just say that Luoyang is facing the dilemma of 100,000 enemy troops besieging the city." ”

The soldiers solemnly received the order and strode away.

Seeing this scene, Sima Yi looked up to the sky and sighed: "Your Majesty, the crime of the minister deserves death." i”

Zhang Liao was very interested in this enemy general who was younger than him, or he was very surprised, Zhang Jaw guarded Luoyang Bafeng without moving, but after the person in front of him came to Luoyang, he could let Zhang Jaw lead the army to attack, which shows that Cao Pi has an extraordinary value for this person.

"What is your last name?"

Sima Yi's eyes were blank, and he replied lightly.

"Sima Yi, the word Zhongda."

Zhang Liao thought about it, this name is not unfamiliar, Cao Wei's celebrity over there for the past year.

Sima Yi seemed to quickly accept the outcome of the defeat in front of him, and also looked at Zhang Liao again, with a brave appearance and a wise Confucian demeanor.

"Dare to ask the general, since Ma Chao's rebellion is fake, why did he kill Mi Fang?"

It is true that Sima Yi and Cao Pi are intellectually inclined to Ma Chao's rebellion, which is inseparable from Ma Chao's killing of Mi Fang with his own hands.

And Mi Fang's identity and status are by no means Ma Chao's ability to wield a butcher's knife if he wants to play a fake show.

Zhang Liao looked back at the Guannei, the soldiers were in full swing to extinguish the fire, and he said lightly: "He should have died a long time ago." ”

As soon as Sima Yi heard Zhang Liao's tone, he knew that Mi Fang might have committed a capital crime unknown to outsiders, and Guo Jia had already killed Mi Fang, but he used this chess piece to the extreme.

Mi Fang should die, since it is not in vain, then Sima Yi is relieved, Guo Jia's northwest bureau has already started planning.

But he asked in a deep voice: "If Ma Chao waved his army to fight with the general in a bloody battle at Hangu Pass this time, wouldn't it be in vain for our army to wait and see what happens?" ”

Thinking like this, that's right, Sima Yi now thinks that his defeat is more radical, if he can be more calm, wait for Zhang Liao and Ma Chao to distinguish the winner and loser, and then take a look at the situation, maybe there will be a different ending.

Zhang Liao turned his head to look at Sima Yi and asked: "Then Ma Mengqi captured Hangu Pass, I was captured, and at this time, Chang'an changed, up to the Hao clan, down to the people to overthrow Ma Mengqi, Ma Mengqi waved his army to suppress Chang'an's rebellion, Hangu Pass was empty, can Cao Pi still sit still?" ”

After hearing this, Sima Yi sighed. i

Guo Jia's layout in the northwest, there is still a plan, do everything possible to lure the enemy, Sima Yi must admit, even if he did not encourage Cao Pi to send troops to attack Hangu Pass this time, the next time, when Ma Chao waved his army to suppress the Sanfu rebellion, he would definitely not miss it, and the result would not be any different.

Approaching dawn, Sima Yi looked to the east and had already foreseen the loss of Luoyang, and Wancheng Cao Zhen went to ask for help.

Luoyang, unsurprisingly, will change hands before sunset tomorrow.

And Wancheng, in the north of Jingzhou, will also fall within five days.

Guo Jia failed to capture Fancheng, the most important place for Cao Wei to guard against the south, but Guo Jia aimed at the heart of Cao Wei.

Luoyang and Wancheng were lost, shaking Xuchang, Fancheng fell into a lonely situation, and as long as the Taiping army won in Yiling, then not only Jiangdong was destroyed, but Cao Wei's Central Plains was completely declared to change hands.

Now the only hope can only be pinned on Sun Quan and Guo Jia in the battle of life and death in the south, can Sun Quan contain Guo Jia?

Sima Yi was startled, and turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, who had a calm face.

If Guo Jianeng lays out this game in the northwest, then Gan Ning will disobey the order and lose the matter of Nanjun and other places, I am afraid there is another inside story.

Can the hero who can strategize and win a thousand miles, will he really let his son make such a ridiculous mistake as being camped for 700 miles?

The sunset that is about to enter the autumn looks extremely quiet and beautiful, but the high view standing at the head of Luoyang City does not have the leisure and elegance of enjoying the scenery.

Zhang Jaw and Sima Yi led the army to attack Hangu Pass, and no matter whether they succeeded or failed, they should have maintained daily contact with Luoyang, but a day passed, and no one from the front came back to report the news.

As his anxiety grew heavier, Gao Ran sent scouts to inquire about the news, only to be surprised by the news returned.

From the direction of Hangu Pass, a large number of Cao soldiers were fleeing, and these Cao soldiers lost their armor and completely collapsed, exhausted and exhausted.

Defeated!

And definitely a fiasco!

After Gao Ran got the news, he immediately ordered his cronies to go out of the city to send letters to Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu in the north and south.

Just inform the other side of the situation of this battle, and there are no other requirements.

"General, don't you ask for help?"

The cronies stood beside Gao Ran and asked hesitantly, they had already detected that behind those fleeing Cao soldiers, there were countless Taiping troops in pursuit, and they were sweeping towards Luoyang.

Gao Ran looked at the sky, and he was not shocked, as if he knew the destiny of heaven.

"Save? It's too late. Back then, the first emperor ordered me and Jun Yi to defend Luoyang, and the city was there, and I just wanted to fulfill the military order made that day. ”

Seeing this, the cronies who followed Gao Ran left and right stopped saying anything, and immediately began to send people to report to Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.

Not surprisingly, before the canopy turned into complete darkness, the Cao soldiers who had fled came to Luoyang City, but the gates were closed on all sides.

They hysterically shouted at Gao Ran on the castle tower, hoping that Gao Ran would be kind enough to let them into the city to live.

But Gao Ran ignored all this, he had already seen that the Taiping army chasing after these deserters could have killed them a long time ago, but he didn't do it, why? Obviously, they wanted to use them to open the gate of Luoyang, so that the Taiping army could drive straight in.

"Shoot the arrows."

Gao Ran gave an indifferent order, and the lieutenant general beside him hesitated slightly.

"General, this"

Gao Ran didn't have a trace of human affection, and said resolutely: "Those who escape from the battle, die." ”

The military order could not be violated, so the Cao army at the head of Luoyang City shot the Cao soldiers who fled back with arrows.

Gao Ran didn't see Sima Yi, nor did he see Zhang Jaw, the worst plan was that the two would either die or be captured.

What is Sima Yi's temperament, whether the bones are hard or not, Gao Ran didn't think about it, but after decades of intersecting with Zhang Jaw, he had already guessed the ending of Zhang Jaw.

Zhang Jaw will not surrender to the enemy, let alone tolerate being captured by Zhang Liao, who has been fighting for more than ten years, and there is only one end, death in battle.

Although Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran are both generals, they betrayed Yuan Shao, but it was almost Yuan Shao who forced them to a dead end, not that they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and Emperor Wu Cao Cao reused the two of them regardless of their previous suspicions, this belated kindness made them always remember it, if at this moment, the two of them surrendered to the Taiping Army and wagged their tails to Guo Jia to beg for mercy, then what face would they have to gain a foothold in the world?

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao led an army of 100,000 to surround Luoyang on all sides, looking at Gao Ran from a distance and ordering all the deserters to be shot.

"Gao Ran, open the city gate and surrender, and you will not die."

Ma Chao rode in front of the formation, domineering.

It is easy to break Luoyang, Ma Chao just doesn't want to add more casualties.

Gao Ran looked down at the scene of the army under the city, his face did not change, and he replied loudly: "Horse, don't be rampant, surrender, dream!" The head of a certain person is here, do you dare to come and take it? ”

Ma Chao grinned, a little hideous, he didn't expect to encounter a hard bone, and he didn't talk nonsense immediately, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the whole army to attack the city.

The Taiping army attacked the city from all sides, attacking Luoyang like a frenzied wave.

The sunset is in the west mountain, the sunset is dazzling, and Gao Ran faces the Taiping army like a wolf and a tiger, and his face is fearless.

"Jun Yi, wait for me."

The person who set off from Luoyang to Wancheng to report the news was still a step late, and before Cao Zhen got the news sent by Gao Lan, there were already people who came from Hangu Pass to report to him in the starry night.

Cao Zhen learned that Sima Yi and Zhang Jaw were almost wiped out in Hangu Pass, and his face was so shocked that his face was bloodless, he thought about it for a while, and weighed it again and again, he thought that Fancheng had Cao Ren and Xu Huang's 100,000 troops, and Luoyang now only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, he must go to the rescue of Luoyang, otherwise Luoyang would fall, and the situation would be precarious.

What's more, when he got Cao Cao's military order, Luoyang was also in trouble, so he asked him and Cao Xiu to come to the rescue, this three-legged momentum, must help each other, but Cao Zhen was in a critical situation, did not think about it, Cao Cao's deployment back then, and today's situation, how can it be the same day?
