Chapter 485: Trap

Cao Ren led an army of 100,000 to the General's Palace, and the army surged along the street, like rushing water in a river. There was moonlight overhead, no one spoke, and the rumbling footsteps were like war drums!

The army rushed to the gate of the General's Mansion and saw the guards guarding the gate shouting and rushing into the palace. Cao Ren became excited, and immediately led the army to break through the gate and pour into the general's mansion. Nearly 10,000 people flocked to the square in front of the lobby, only to find that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and the guards they had just seen had disappeared without a trace. Cao Ren couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Suddenly, on the eaves around the hall, under the bushes, a torch lit up, and the night was instantly illuminated into day, and countless soldiers of the Lu Bu Army appeared around, holding crossbows and aiming at the soldiers of the Cao Army in the square.

The soldiers of the Cao army suddenly saw the scene in front of them and panicked.

At this moment, Zhang Lang led Dong Ying, Wang Yi, Wang Kai, Xiao Long, and hundreds of tiger guards to appear on the steps in front of the lobby. Everyone was draped, holding weapons, and had sneers on their faces.

Cao Ren saw Zhang Lang and thought to himself: Although he fell into the trap, he didn't have more soldiers than me, and the distance was so close, he might be able to capture and kill Lu Bu in a desperate battle! Once Lu Bu is captured, he will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Ren raised his big sword and shouted, "Brothers, don't be afraid! There aren't as many of them as we are! Rush with me, capture and kill Lu Bu, reward 10,000 gold, and seal a thousand households! Kill! ”

Nearly 10,000 Cao Jun shouted and surged towards Zhang Lang's side, and the Cao Jun outside the gate also kept pouring in, for a while, it seemed to be a surging tide, and I don't know if the prison arranged by Zhang Lang is reliable and can withstand the impact of this wave?

Zhang Lang raised his left hand and sighed...... A red signal rocket takes to the skies. In an instant, in the entire Luoyang City, the war drums sounded loudly!

The crossbowman holding the repeater quickly wrenched the bracket, and the crossbow arrows flew out like raindrops, hitting the soldiers of the Cao army one after another, as if there were layers of ripples in the waves. At the same time, the sound of armored iron cavalry rumbling and killing came from the street, and the sound was like a landslide cracking and a flash flood. And the direction of the military camp in the west of the city and the direction of the military camp in the east of the city are also killing and shaking the sky, and the fire shines through half the sky!

Cao Ren led the army to rush to the front of the steps. Zhang Lang and the rest of the army quickly retreated, and dozens of swarming bee carts were pushed up. Seeing this, Cao Jun couldn't help but stop and hesitated. Cao Ren shouted: "Don't be afraid, they don't have time to launch!" Rush! When the army heard Cao Ren's words, they shouted and surged up. As soon as their feet stepped on the steps, dozens of swarming bee carts suddenly roared and roared, and countless rockets screamed into the middle of the Cao army, and the Cao soldiers were shot to the ground, suffering heavy casualties. Cao Jun was frightened in his heart and retreated, while the Cao army behind was still rushing forward, and the two parts of Cao Jun were crowded together, and the scene was chaotic.

Cao Ren was greatly annoyed and ordered the army to clash on all sides. An adjutant general next to him said urgently: "General, Lu Bu has already prepared, and it is very unfavorable for us to consume it!" And the killing sound outside seems to be very wrong, so let's retreat quickly! Cao Ren calmed down, saw that the soldiers around him were constantly shot down by the opponent's crossbow arrows, and heard the sound of killing horns on the street outside, the sound of iron hooves rolling, feeling that things were not good, and immediately ordered a retreat.

The order to retreat was given, and the soldiers of the army rushed towards the gate. Although the gate is not small, nearly 10,000 people have all flocked to it at once, and it seems to be blocked.

At this moment, the crossbowmen of the Lu Bu army retreated, and five thousand tall and heavily armored infantry with heavy armor and holding a long sword rushed out from three sides, and slammed into the middle of the Cao army. The remnants of the defeated army climbed out of the general's mansion with great difficulty, but they were shocked to see that the surrounding roofs were full of Lu Bujun's crossbowmen, who kept sending arrows to kill their own soldiers; And on the street, Lu Bu's armored cavalry marched in unison to sweep the own soldiers on the street, and their own soldiers could not resist the fierce charging of the opponent's armored cavalry, and the scene was like a huge stone mill crushing the seedlings, and their own soldiers were constantly being crushed to the ground, and the screams resounded in the sky.

Cao Ren led the remnants of the defeated army to join the army, and ordered the army to withdraw from Luoyang immediately. When the army heard the order, they turned around and rushed towards the city gate. Cao Ren met Wei Yan and Li Dian on the way to retreat, and saw that both of them had only returned with one or two thousand defeated soldiers and horses, and he was angry and frightened. Li Dian hugged his fists and said: "General, we encountered an enemy ambush, and the soldiers and horses were damaged and dressed, and we finally broke through the encirclement and escaped!" Wei Yan also hugged his fists and said: "The last general is too!" Cao Ren said: "This is not the place to talk, you two will go out of the city with me!" The two generals clenched their fists and promised.

The three generals led more than 100,000 remnants of the defeated army to the city gate. It was found that the gates of the city were closed. Cao Ren shouted urgently: "Li Le! Where is Li Le? "Li Le, a partial general under Cao Ren, after entering the city, Cao Ren left Li Le and thousands of soldiers and horses to occupy the city gate.

Suddenly a field of torches lit up on the city wall, and countless crossbowmen appeared behind the female wall. A general with a helmet, a leopard body, and a wolf's waist appeared in the shadow of the fire. That general is none other than the deputy general of Long Taojun, Yan Xing.

The soldiers of the Cao army under the city were all shocked.

Yan Xing shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

When he landed, arrows rained down on the city wall, and the Cao army under the city fell to the ground one after another. However, Cao Jun was well-trained after all, and the shield bearer quickly raised his shield to protect the whole army. Cao Ren shouted: "Brothers, if you want to live, rush with me!" Then he took the lead, led the army to brave the rain of arrows and flying stones from the entrance hole, raised the iron gate, pushed open the city gate, and poured into the urn city. The gates are locked from the inside, so it is easy to open them if you break through from the inside.

At this time, the three armies rushed from the gallop under the city gate on both sides and the street in front of the city gate, and the armored war cavalry rushed into the middle of the Cao army first, and the Cao army was rushed to pieces, and then the infantry of the brigade arrived, killing the Cao army and despair, and rushed towards the urn city!

Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Wei Yan led their troops into the urn city, and saw that the gate in front of them was also closed. The army rushed at full speed, just wanting to break out of the cage in one go.

At this moment, a torch lit up on the city wall around the urn city, and countless crossbowmen fired arrows at the same time, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the soldiers of the Cao army were shot on their backs, and they suffered heavy casualties. At this moment, Cao Jun had no intention of fighting, and rushed to the city gate, and more than a dozen strong soldiers struggled to lift the iron gate. At this moment, a lot of fire oil flowed from the hole above the fierce hole, drenching the dozen or so soldiers who were lifting the iron gate. Immediately, a torch was thrown down, and the flames surged up, and the dozen or so soldiers instantly turned into burning people! A dozen soldiers screamed and ran around, and the heavy iron gates fell with a thud.
