These people quickly gathered together to discuss and immediately began to assemble troops, and to Cao Cao replied to the letter, the letter stated the time and signal of the joint uprising, immediately sent a fine work from the city to throw the letter down, the city has already Cao Cao's flag arrangement immediately intercepted the information to inform Cao Cao Kai, Cao Cao got the news of Luoyang is overjoyed, the letter said that tomorrow night to Luoyang city fire as the number, these landlord armed forces will raise troops to attack the main gate of Luoyang and attack the defenders of Luoyang City at the same time, for Cao Cao's army to enter the city to open the door, Cao Cao was really overjoyed when he heard this, Luoyang City was indestructible, and it was because of the help of these people.

Time was urgent, and Cao Cao immediately arranged the deployment of a large army to prepare for the siege

Just when Cao Cao was ready to collude with the big households in the city to attack the city, Zhang Fei from the Bishui Pass also took action, Zhang Fei and Pang De after consultation, soon formed a strategy against the enemy, the two of them after discussion, decided to attack Cao Cao from the side of the Bishui Pass, and then sent a messenger to inform Luoyang, about to start together, Pang De sent a group of men and horses from the Bishui Pass to Cao Cao to give a surprise attack, resulting in Cao Cao's army in chaos, and then Wen Ping led the army to attack from Luoyang City, and the two armies were defeated by Cao Cao. The matter was quickly put on the agenda.

Just after Wen Ping retreated from Luoyang City, Zhu Jun received a letter from Bishui Pass, and he immediately found Wen Ping to discuss countermeasures, and after Wen Ping read the letter, Zhu Jun asked: "What do you think?" ”

Zhu Jun pondered for a while and said: "You can give it a try, now that Cao Cao will besiege Luoyang, if there is a surprise army in Bishui Pass, it will definitely cause Cao Cao to be in chaos, and we will definitely defeat Cao Cao from Luoyang City!" ”

"Cao Cao is a battle-hardened person, and he is scheming, so I'm afraid he has been prepared!" Wen Ping said worriedly.

Zhu Jun continued: "What you are worried about is that Cao Cao is on guard against Bishui Pass? ”

"Cao Cao is a mysterious person, how can he be defenseless?" Wen Ping continued.

Zhu Jun then said: "Even if he is prepared, as long as there is a surprise attack at Bishui Pass, once the army is handed over." Cao Cao will definitely be distracted, as long as his army is in chaos, we can break through the encirclement! ”

"It's an adventure, my lord! If we stick to the return of the prime minister, this is foolproof, if the troops outside the city fail, then the matter will be in danger, Luoyang is not guaranteed, and the people who moved out of Bishui Pass will be empty! Wen Ping then analyzed.

Zhu Jun continued: "Your worries are not unreasonable, don't worry about this matter first. I think it's best for us to stick to Luoyang first, as long as we wait until the prime minister returns, and then kill Luoyang with ease and work, and then make a surprise attack on the side of Bishui Pass, and then make a surprise attack, two pincer attacks not only Luoyang City Siege can be solved, but also Cao Bing! ”

"Lord Zhu is reasonable, but I think Cao Cao will not delay the time and will attack the city with all his might, I am worried that the two water conservancy projects outside Luoyang City will become their fire, Fuyang Canal and Hongchipi have already started, if Cao Cao sends troops to occupy these two water conservancy projects, and then guide Luoshui can directly approach Luoyang City. The entire city of Luoyang will fall into floods, which will inevitably cause us to be passive! Wen Ping then analyzed.

After hearing this, Zhu Jun said: "The general is worried about Cao Cao's water attack? ”

"That's right! Cao Cao tried to fight quickly, but the defense of Luoyang City was extremely difficult, and the water attack was not lost! Wen Ping said.

Zhu Jun nodded after hearing this: "Captain Wang Qi of Changshui can send troops and horses to garrison here just in case!" ”

"This matter still has to be told by Lord Taiwei in person!" Wen Ping said again.

After hearing this, Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, general, leave this matter to me!" ”

After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he went to find Wang Qi, the captain of Changshui

After studying, Zhu Jun and Wen Ping decided to let the Bishui Pass side settle down for the time being and not send troops and horses, and immediately sent a reply letter to the Bishui Pass side, and at the same time assigned soldiers and horses to guard the two water conservancy projects in Luoyang, because they did not wait for the reply from the Luoyang side, the Bishui Pass side also waited for the reply letter. In this way, the collusion between Cao Cao and the big families in Luoyang was in the front. These big families in Luoyang colluded with some royal relatives and nobles, and soon gathered 50,000 horses. After these horses were concentrated, they completely turned into Luoyang's officers and soldiers after camouflage, and soon came to the east gate of Luoyang.

At this time, the generals Zhang He and Xu Huang were in charge of the affairs of the east gate of Luoyang City, according to the division of labor, they were hired and Ma Chao were in a group, Zhang He and Xu Huang were in a group, and the two groups were on duty in turn to be responsible for the defense of the east gate of the city. At this time, Zhang He and Xu Huang were on duty, Zhang He was in charge of the affairs of the city, Xu Huang was in charge of the affairs of the city, and the arrangement of the two was in full swing, and the landlord armed a team of 50,000 people falsely claimed to be changing guards and came to the east gate of Luoyang City. Xu Huang was on duty when he saw such a group of people suddenly coming, not only was he a little surprised, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The leader of the landlord's armed forces saw that Xu Huang knew that the lie was not good, taking advantage of Xu Huang's unpreparedness, he immediately bent the bow and arrow against Xu Huang is an arrow, Xu Huang saw that the other party suddenly released a cold arrow and immediately pulled out the sword and dropped the flying eagle arrow to the ground, at this time there were several bows and arrows flying towards Xu Huang, Xu Huang left and right block, cold and unguarded an arrow shot in the left arm, Xu Huang saw that the other party was not good, so he commanded the guards to defend the city and the landlord's armed forces to start a fierce battle, at this time responsible for the defense of the city of elite soldiers up to 5,000 people, these 5,000 people soon joined the battle and the landlord's armed fierce battle.

Xu Huang ignored the arrow wounds on his body, flew on the horse to get the axe in his palm, and led the soldiers to rush to the landlord's army, and the landlord's armed force relied on the strength of the people, and frantically pounced on Xu Huang, just like countless flying locusts killed to the city gate, Xu Huang danced the big axe to split dozens of people, as if entering a no-man's land, at this time Zhang He on the city saw that the city actually fought, and the people who were killed for a while turned on their backs, and couldn't help but be shocked, wondering in their hearts: What happened? Why did there actually fight in the city, so he sent people to explore the virtual reality, and at this moment, he suddenly saw several night pearls flying, lighting up the entire night sky in an instant, and the entire Luoyang City was as bright as day, Zhang He looked at it and shouted: "It's not good, this is clearly a secret horn, it seems that the enemy should be preparing to seize the city tonight!" Just when Zhang He was surprised, he heard the sound of shouting and killing under the city, which shook the sky, it was really like the sky was falling apart, and then he saw the lanterns under the city and the Liangzi oil pine fire reflected in the sky, and Cao Cao's army killed Luoyang City with unlimited men

Zhang He saw that the Cao army launched an offensive in the city and immediately ordered the defenders of the city to resist desperately, Zhang He, as a general with experience in defending the city, is still very good at this kind of city defense, and now he is still sitting still in chaos in the face of the enemy, and commanding in an orderly manner. Suddenly, the arrows on the city shot at the Cao army like flying locusts, and the offensive of Cao Cao's army was very fierce, it was simply a crazy pounce on Luoyang City, and the morale of the soldiers was even higher, and Luoyang City became a sea of fire for a while. Zhang He commanded the crossbowmen in the city to take turns to release arrows to the city, and these crossbowmen used strong bows and hard crossbows. The equipment can be described as excellent, these soldiers are also well-trained under Guan Yu's elite soldiers, so the blocking is also very in place, although Cao Cao's army is fierce, but the resistance on the city is also very tenacious, and the fierce battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

The fierce battle under the city was also very fierce, Xu Huang led the five thousand elite soldiers to frantically block the attack from ten times the force, but although the landlord armed forces were numerous, they were all stragglers who had not undergone formal training, and their combat effectiveness was naturally limited. Xu Huang's 5,000 elite soldiers are all trained dead soldiers, brave and strong in combat, it can be said that one person can fight several people, the battle between the two sides is very fierce, the whole city is fighting wolf smoke, shouting and killing one after another like a tide, the leader of the landlord's armed forces also released cruel words to his soldiers: "Brothers, listen to whoever conquers the city gate and promotes me to the third level of silver, ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels of silver!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stimulant injected into the bodies of the landlord's armed soldiers, and these rabble suddenly gained momentum. "Wow, wow, wow、、、、、" shouted and rushed towards Xu Huang, who was wounded in his left arm. Still rotate the big axes and continue to fight, for Xu Huang, these landlord militants are chopping vegetables and chopping mud, sweeping a piece, it is simply vulnerable, although it is vulnerable, but after all, there are many people, and the next batch immediately rushes to a batch. The elite soldiers at the city gate also suffered from the tenacious onslaught of the landlords, and the damage was not small, but the battle was still under the control of Xu Huang outside the city gate at this time.

Such a big movement in Luoyang City has already alarmed Wen Ping, who was not on duty, Wen Ping, who heard this movement in the General's Mansion, knew that it was Cao Cao attacking the city, and immediately prepared a horse to carry a sword, a robe, a belt, a belt, a skirt, a helmet, and a change of armor, and immediately ordered troops to rush to the east gate of Luoyang. Wen hired 10,000 elite soldiers to run to the Luoyang city gate, and at the same time notified Zhu Jun and Ma Chao to go, Wen Ping and the sergeants were rushing to the city gate, but at this time they saw the torch Qi Ming in front of a pair of men and horses, and the first general was Ma Chao - Ma Mengqi, it turned out that Ma Chao heard the movement and did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the troops to rush to the city gate to help, the two immediately greeted the joint army and rushed to the city gate

Two reinforcements rushed to the city gate to help, the situation suddenly became clear, but at this time the fierce battle outside Luoyang City was still fierce, Cao Cao's army launched an extremely fierce offensive, Cao Jun shouted and rushed to the city gate, Zhang He's crossbowmen blocked Cao Cao's army The loss was also quite small, Cao Cao saw that Zhang He guarded it properly, and he was very anxious, and the strategist Liu Ye recommended to Cao Cao: "Why don't you use a thunderbolt to assist?" ”

Liu Ye woke up the person in his dream with a word, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "Don't you say that I have to forget, all the thunderbolts in the general have been transferred to help attack the city, and Luoyang must be taken!" ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Liu Ye ordered the sergeants to pull out all the thunderbolt cars hidden in the army, and push them to the front line, a total of ten units, and immediately prepared the city gate of Luoyang, and the sergeants had already moved the stones, and the stones were about to be put in place, and the general immediately shouted when he saw the thunderbolt cars ready: "Put" With this shout, he saw dozens of boulders roaring and flying towards Luoyang City, "Dong Dong Dong 、、、、、、、、、" sound, these boulders fell to Luoyang City one after another, The soldiers in the city were caught off guard by the sudden flying boulder, and there was a miserable cry of "ahhh、、、、、、hh

Cao Cao's thunderbolt launched an artillery bombardment on the city gate of Luoyang one after another, the crossbowmen on the city suffered heavy losses, Zhang He saw Cao Cao so offensive, so he called the soldiers to replace the crossbowmen, and set up shields to resist the flying boulders, and soon Luoyang City set up a shield wall to block the flying guns, Cao Cao's army on the one hand continued to send thunderbolts, on the other hand, the infantry under the city quickly rushed to Luoyang City with the help of the cover of the thunderbolt car, and set up a ladder to climb up to Luoyang City, Seeing this, Zhang He commanded the sergeant to replace the shield and hurriedly threw the rolling wood and stone to the city, and in an instant, countless rolling logs and stones fell from Luoyang City and smashed to Cao Jun, and Cao Jun, who had just rushed to the city, climbed the ladder and was stoned to death under the city before he could climb the ladder.

Cao Cao's Thunderbolt was mainly to cover the first-line charging infantry to kill the city, and when the infantry rushed to the city, the Thunderbolt attack came to an abrupt end, and if the attack continued, it would hurt his own people. So the attack had to be stopped, and the rest was all up to the infantry, but the infantry who rushed to the city was obviously not so smooth, and the rolling wood and stones thrown from the city made them unable to parry at all, or they couldn't parry at all, and they fell in a pool of blood. Because the defense of Luoyang City is not only strong, the fortifications on the city are complete, and the materials on the city are very well stocked, so in the face of Cao Cao's fierce offensive, it can still be done with ease, and soon Cao Cao's infantry offensive that rushed to the city will be stopped

Zhang He was also really busy in Luoyang City, on the one hand, he commanded the sergeants to constantly throw rolling wood stones, on the other hand, he ordered the crossbowmen to move forward and continue to attack the infantry with bows and arrows, Zhang He knew that if Cao Cao's offensive was not defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the only thing he could do now was to ensure that Luoyang City was foolproof. At the same time that the fierce battle in the city was in full swing. The fierce battle under the city is also extremely fierce, the landlord armed forces swooped down to the city gate like crazy, the offensive was very fierce, the fierce battle between the two sides entered the white-hot stage, both suffered heavy losses, the battle to this time Xu Huang's 5,000 elite soldiers only left less than 2,000 people, the landlord armed forces also suffered heavy losses, and the casualties were more than 10,000 people. However, with the help of the large number of people, tens of thousands of people were attacking at this time. Xu Huang's situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, and then Xu Huang is already wearing several arrows, and he is still continuing to fight, this big axe is constantly flying, but Xu Huang knows best in his heart, and he knows better that he can hold on to less and less time.

Cao Cao, who was outside Luoyang City, was also quite anxious now. He waited for the movement in the city but now it seemed that nothing had come of it, and his offensive on the periphery was violently blocked by Zhang He, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses, which made him anxious, and Cao Cao saw that the infantry rushing to the city suffered a setback. Then he commanded the thunderbolt to launch a second round of attack, suppressed the resistance on Luoyang City, and then under the cover of the thunderbolt artillery, let the infantry continue to attack the city, the second round of artillery bombardment soon unfolded, but saw dozens of boulders roaring under the city, smashing towards Luoyang City, Zhang He saw that Cao Cao launched a thunderbolt offensive again, knowing that this was powerful, he commanded the soldiers to resist with shields, and the fierce battle between the two sides continued.

But said that Xu Huang in the city suffered a fierce attack by the landlord, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, Xu Huang was even more scarred, and he couldn't hold on, but at this time, he saw a sudden chaos behind the landlord's armed forces, and they broke down, it turned out that Wen Ping and Ma Chao's reinforcements arrived, and launched an attack from behind the landlord's armed forces, Wen Ping and Ma Chao led these 20,000 living forces like charcoal in the snow, and it seemed to destroy the landlord armed forces, the landlord armed forces had no combat effectiveness at all, and after a fierce battle was already embarrassed, This time the attack on the back was even more vulnerable, and it was quickly crushed by Wen Ping and Ma Chao, Xu Huang saw the reinforcements, as if he saw the light in the darkness, and immediately his spirit increased sharply, and the state was suddenly stimulated, and he immediately led the rest of the people to fight back, and the landlord's armed forces fell into the flanking attack at once, and they were quickly destroyed, and there were countless dead and wounded

The landlord armed forces fell into two attacks in the whole east gate of Luoyang City corpses everywhere, completely unable to find any way, it is simply a human road piled up with people, although the landlord armed forces are numerous, but in the face of Wen Ping and Ma Chao's offensive can not resist at all, so the situation in the city is completely controlled by the official army, the city gate is still safe and sound, Cao Cao launched another round of attacks outside the city, but this round of attack ended in failure like the last time, Cao Cao's army suffered heavy casualties, but at this time the Luoyang city gate is still majestic, Cao Cao even heard the shouts of killing in the city, and thought: It's not good! It must be that the landlord's armed forces are blocked, and the internal response fails to open the city gate, if so, it will be difficult for his offensive on the periphery to be effective, Cao Cao thought of this and waved his hand and said: "Pass my order to collect the troops!" ”

When the general Xu Chu heard this, he shouted: "The lord gave me a team of daring soldiers, I will take them to rush to the city and knock the city gate open!" ”

Dian Wei also shouted violently: "Zhong Kang is right, the two of us will go into battle together and twist the city gate open!" ”

"Luoyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how easy is this matter?" Cao Cao asked.

Dian Wei continued: "As the saying goes, 'put the place of death and then live', we have suffered a lot of casualties in the war so far, but the enemy has also paid a huge amount, and now both sides are very tired, if the lord gives up, then it is also difficult to wait for people to ease up and attack the city, it is better to overcome the city gate with one blow, as long as the thunderbolt suppresses the offensive on the city of Luoyang, Zhong Kang and I led a group of dead soldiers to attack the city gate, and we will go all out to conquer the city gate, once the city gate is opened, my army will break through the city and enter Luoyang can be taken in one fell swoop!" ”

Cao Cao said with a little doubt: "It's too risky to do this, the two of you are my right-hand men, and if you lose it, you will hurt me!" Why don't you just do it! ”

"If you sacrifice my life to open the gate of Luoyang City and die, why not?" Dian Wei continued.

Xu Chu couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Without further ado, don't hesitate anymore!" (To be continued......)
