Chapter 390: Fighting for Luoyang (2)

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "That's it!" Prepare for the siege of the city for you, and prepare for the thunderbolts! ”

Dian Wei picked up the eighty pounds of double halberds, Xu Chu picked up the serrated flying machete, the two were eager to try, and soon five hundred dead soldiers also followed, all of them were strong men, and they were desperate, and the thunderbolt cannon immediately launched a third round of onslaught on Luoyang City, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu led the five hundred dead soldiers to rush to the city gate

Zhang He successfully blocked Cao Cao's second round of attack, but also tired, after the city suffered two rounds of Cao Cao's attack, the city wall was damaged, and the soldiers also had many dead and wounded, but there was one thing that made Zhang He quite happy, that is, Cao Cao's thunderbolt cannon fell on the boulder on the city can be fully utilized, Zhang He commanded the sergeants to use this batch of materials flying up as defensive equipment to block the Cao army that rushed to the city, it was so convenient, and saved a lot of materials, and also cleared the obstacles for the city, Zhang He just cleaned up the city, Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's third round of attack began again, and Zhang He commanded the sergeants to take precautions despite his exhaustion.

Cao Cao's thunderbolt launched the third round of attack, which is also the last killer of Cao Cao's army, this round of attack, Cao Cao will finish all the "thunderbolt shells", that is to say, if this round of attack can not achieve tangible results, it means that Cao Cao's army will completely lose the favorable opportunity to attack the city, without the thunderbolt cannon as a cover attack, that is a live target, it is almost difficult to rush to Luoyang City, let alone climb the city, so this round of attack is also very important, just at the same time as the thunderbolt artillery attack, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the two vanguard officers of the front department, led five hundred dead soldiers to rush to the gate of Luoyang.

Because it was lightly armed, the team of 500 people was relatively loose, so the speed of the charge was also very fast, and under the cover of the thunderbolt cannon, these 500 people quickly rushed to Luoyang City. And it is a large wooden stake of tens of thousands of catties used by the carrier to attack the city, which is as thick as the big wooden stake by two people and hugs, and the weight of the blister is very ten, Dian Wei and Xu Chu and dozens of dead soldiers carried this and the big wooden stake to walk like flying to the city, Dian Wei and Xu Chu The two strong men have the strength of a thousand catties, and under the cover of the thunderbolt cannon, the two carried the wooden stake and quickly moved to Luoyang City.

Xu Chu came to the city and saw the suspension bridge at the city gate hanging high. Immediately picked up the big knife and slashed to the drawbridge, Xu Chu slashed with a knife, and soon cut the drawbridge out, at this time the peripheral thunderbolt artillery had stopped attacking, Zhang He also lifted the fortifications on the city of Luoyang, but saw Dian Wei and others killed the city to attack the city gate can not help but be shocked, and hurriedly ordered the city to throw rolling wood stones, Cao Cao saw this and then commanded the crossbowmen to attack the city, and the crossbowmen of the Cao army quickly gathered together. Concentrate firepower to shoot at the city, Cao Cao also ordered to use a thunderbolt to carry bows and arrows to shoot at the city, which was used to block the offensive on the city and cover Dian Wei and others to attack the city gate, and suddenly the bows and arrows under the city flew to Luoyang City like bees

"Ahh、、、、h、、、、、、、、、h Zhang He instructed the sergeants to erect shields at each battlement of the city wall, thus forming a blocking wall. Then he instructed the sergeants behind to lift the boulder over the city wall in a group and continue to smash it towards the city gate, but it was very difficult to operate, but it still did not lose a way to block, but the effect was very limited. But even such a resistance posed a threat to the dead at the gates, and from time to time the dead were killed by stones or logs flying from the city.

Xu Chu's gang quickly smashed the drawbridge in Luoyang, and then began to attack the city gate. But see this and the big wooden stake slammed to the city gate of Luoyang, Dian Wei, Xu Chu these two people have a thousand catties, dragging this with the big wooden stake is even more weighty, this group of people force, the power of the stake can be imagined, when the city gate of Luoyang hit the "flicker", only to hear the sound of "bang", like a thunderbolt like a thunderbolt of the wooden stake hit the city gate, the city gate flickered, and then was about to hit the second time, the city fell a tree and a few stones, and suddenly smashed the dead man who carried the wood, only to listen to "Ah! Several of the strong men fell to the ground.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu threw down their weapons when they saw this, and personally supported the top of the stake on the front few people and the sergeants continued to hit the city gate, "Bang, Bang" and hit a few times, the city gate just shook and still did not open, at this time the city was once again like a rain of arrows, and several sergeants were smashed down by the stones, everyone worked together to hold up the stake again, and launched a third attack on the Luoyang gate, the third time Dian Wei and Xu Chu Mao tried their best to slam into the gate, only to hear a loud sound of "quack", the gate has been half knocked open, Outside the gate it was as if they could see inside, and all the soldiers rejoiced, and were about to strike the fourth time, when the stakes were thrown down from the city again

Seeing this, Xu Chu beckoned everyone to go to the city gate to dodge, at this moment the city gate was ready to close again, Dian Wei had already seen it, he rushed over and pushed towards the city gate with both hands, the city gate that was about to close was suddenly resisted, and he couldn't close it, and the other soldiers ran over to help when they saw this, and suddenly the city gate was surrounded by all the soldiers, everyone gritted their teeth and pressed hard against the city gate that was about to close, the two sides were like a tug-of-war, and the people on both sides had to work hard, because everyone knew the stakes of this, Although the city gate is small, it is a matter of life and death, so no one does not do their best.

Cao Cao has already seen all this, he saw the city again cast the rolling wood stone, so he ordered the crossbow machine to continue to throw bows and arrows to the city, suddenly tens of thousands of bows and arrows with the help of the wind to Luoyang City, and then listened to the city of a wail, Xu Chu led the soldiers to lift the heavy wood and continue to hit the door open, Dian Wei saw that the heavy wood was coming, so he ordered the brothers at the top of the door to get out of the way, he immediately picked up one end of the heavy wood, walked in the front and slammed into the city gate with all his strength, When Dian Wei and the others turned around and moved away, the city gate that had just been released was just about to be closed, and Cao Jun's heavy wood came again, and it hit more violently than before. This unexpected impact knocked most of the gate open at once, and only heard a "quack" sound, and the beam that closed the gate was broken

The gate of the city was slammed open, and all the soldiers rushed into the city in a crowd of heavy logs, knocking the enemy troops blocking the gate in the city into a staggered way, and they fell backwards one after another, slamming open the city gate. Everyone then put down the heavy wood, have picked up weapons into the city to slash out, Dian Wei, Xu Chu should be the first to kill into the city, see people to cut people to kill, such as into no one's land, the five hundred dead soldiers are only two hundred people, followed by the two rushed into the city, Cao Cao saw that the city gate was broken and couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he ordered the three armies to charge with drums and horns, and launched a general attack on Luoyang.

At the beginning of the general attack, Cao Cao's army rushed to Luoyang City. Zhang He saw Cao Cao's army rushing to Luoyang City like a flood in the city, and ordered the soldiers defending the city to strengthen the offensive and fight hard, and threw a large number of rolling wood and stones down on the city again, Cao Cao's army saw that the city gate had been broken and the spirit doubled, and naturally became more courageous, and the offensive was very fierce, and Zhang He's resistance did not seem to be as effective as before. However, Shang Neng posed a threat to Cao Cao's army, but said that Dian Wei and Xu Chu both entered the city. The momentum is invincible, and the rest of Xu Huang is blocked at the city gate at this time.

Xu Huang's army suffered heavy losses after suffering from the fierce attack of the landlord's armed forces, only more than 1,000 people left of 5,000 people, Xu Huang was even more scarred, fortunately the front Wen Ping, Ma Chao killed, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, Xu Huang felt a little relaxed, but unexpectedly, the city gate behind was actually opened. Xu Huang, who was like a knife in the back, was caught off guard, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the two fierce beasts, attacked the city, killed people when they saw them, and cut them when they saw them, as if they entered a no-man's land, the rest of Xu Huang was already tired after a fierce battle, how could they parry in the face of this sudden accident? It's simply vulnerable. They were scattered, and those who were beaten were defeated and retreated, and many were killed.

Xu Huang saw the enemy break in, then left the landlord's armed command to fight hard, Xu Huang regardless of fatigue, horse and axe to lead the crowd to meet Dian Wei, Xu Chu, the rest of the army saw that the main general met the enemy suddenly had the backbone, then turned over and killed back to resist Dian Wei, Xu Chu, to the city gate counterattack, Dian Wei, Xu Chu although suddenly attacked the city of more than 200 soldiers, and Cao Cao's army suffered from the city's resistance for a time can not launch a full-scale attack, so the battle advantage at the city gate is still on Xu Huang's side, after all, there are more than 1,000 people in the guard, However, the attack power of Dian Wei and Xu Chu was very strong, and the two joined forces to make the defenders at the city gate unable to stop them, but relying on the advantage of numbers, these defenders scrambled to attack, and the battle between the two sides was very fierce.

After the landlord armed forces suffered the attack of Wen Ping and Ma Chao, they were simply attacked by the enemy, and they were about to be unable to support it, and suddenly saw the city gate being broken from the outside, and these landlord armies suddenly became excited, it seems that Cao Cao's army broke through the city, and the Luoyang city gate was breached! On the one hand, they allocated a part to meet Wen Ping and Ma Chao, and the other part was to fight back frantically against Xu Huang, because the current situation of the two sides was that Xu Huang must be eliminated and the control of Luoyang City Gate must be taken, but it is not easy to eat this part of the people, after all, Wen Ping and Ma Chao are also aware of this, and the attack of the two is also quite fierce

Now the whole city gate is in a piece, the four forces around the city gate are in full swing, several forces you have me, I have you, Wen Ping saw that the situation was urgent, so he ordered his subordinates to greet the captain Zhu Jun, let Zhu Jun send a large force of reinforcements to the city gate to rush to the rescue, Ma Chao jumped on the horse and danced the gun to rush to kill, the landlord armed could not be stopped, the official army was very fierce, the landlord armed could not resist, and countless people were killed, and Xu Huang, a thousand people and horses, could be said to be the enemy on the back of the belly, suffered from the continuous encroachment of the two forces, and the losses became heavier and heavier, At the same time, the offensive of Wen Ping and Ma Chao made the landlord armed really unable to parry, and the losses of thousands of people and horses were very heavy, and the powerful offensive of Wen Ping and Ma Chao made the landlord armed have to allocate a large number of forces to resist, so that the constraints on Xu Huang are very limited, and Xu Huang's main enemy is still from the Cao soldiers who came from the city gate to reinforce the soldiers.

Since Cao Bing launched a general attack, although he was constantly blocked by Zhang He in the city, after all, it was a general attack, and the city gate had been opened, so Cao Jun rushed into the city one after another, and at the same time, many soldiers set up ladders and began to attack the city, and Zhang He's resistance became greater and greater. However, in view of the complete fortifications of the city, so Cao Jun's city offensive has never succeeded, but the city continues to pour in, Dian Wei, Xu Chu The two tigers beat Xu Huang's group of men and horses, Xu Huang regardless of the arrow wound Prancing Horse forward rotation axe to lead the crowd to meet Dian Wei, Dian Wei Ting double halberd intercepted Xu Huang to fight. The two horses fought less than ten times, Xu Huang couldn't reach Dian Wei, and retreated back on the horse, Dian Wei Xu Chu fought hard, Xu Huang couldn't resist the defeat, and the Cao army quickly defeated Xu Huang's people.

Xu Huang couldn't resist Cao Jun, so he led the remnants to fight in the back, and began to rush to the rest of the landlord's armed forces, and the main forces of the landlord's armed forces were all led by Wen Ping and Ma Chao, and there were not many people left to meet Xu Huang. Xu Huang quickly scattered the enemy troops in front of him, just when the fierce battle between the two sides entered the white-hot stage, Zhu Jun led 10,000 fresh troops also rushed to the city gate to rescue, this 10,000 horses is Zhu Jun took a lot of effort to move over the reinforcements, most of the troops under Wen Ping and a small number of people and horses from other places, it was not easy to make up this 10,000 horses, this 10,000 horses is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and the strength of the official army has increased greatly. The landlords' armed forces could no longer resist and withdrew to the city gate. Xu Huang saw that the reinforcements were coming, regardless of the fatigue, and soon succeeded with Wen Ping and others, but at this time Xu Huang's army had already killed very few, except for Xu Huang, there were only a few dozen people left, and the rest of the men and horses were all killed, and then look at the dense corpses piled up at the city gate. Even blocked the way to and fro, and the Cao army that attacked the city was forced to step over the corpse

At this time, the battle in Luoyang City was still continuing, Wen Ping, Ma Chao and Zhu Jun successfully docked with Xu Huang, leading more than 10,000 people to prepare to recapture Luoyang City. There are thousands of people, Wen Ping and Ma Chao and Zhu Jun led the team of more than 10,000 people to block the city gate, intercepting Cao Cao to fight again, the offensive of Cao Cao's army outside the city has not decreased, because I saw hope, Cao Jun's offensive was very fierce, so that Zhang He in the city was really a little unable to parry, since Cao Jun launched the first round of attack to the present, Zhang He tensed his nerves, and now he is also exhausted, but the emergency war makes him unable to stop and rest, not for a moment, Cao Jun is also playing with his life this time, so this charge failed, Cao Cao simply can't launch the next round of attacks, so this charge is crucial, and it is the last straw for Cao Cao.

The fierce battle between the two sides continued, Cao Cao saw that the fierce battle in the city was stalemate, the city was heavily guarded, the attack of Cao's army was once blocked, and the soldiers who rushed into the city were very limited, so he called his generals, and implemented a special person to lead the key breakthrough, and ordered the general Xiahou Yuan to lead a team of men and horses to attack the left flank of the city, and ordered the general to ban the attack on the right flank of the city, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Zang Ba continued to break through to the city gate to increase troops, Cao Cao led the Chinese army to attack the city under the escort of the generals Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, and the generals were ordered to do it after the distribution was completed. Cao Cao personally braved the arrows and led the soldiers to attack the city.

Cao Cao's army of the last round of rapid offensive all unfolded, the generals have entered the battle, even Cao Cao himself has come out, as the commander Cao Cao personally out of the horse, this is undoubtedly with his subordinates to give a dose of strength, the confidence of the soldiers doubled, wow wow screamed and charged, Cao Cao arranged three ways of men and horses to attack the city, not only from the front, in the left and right wings of the siege of the city, which caused Zhang He to be unable to separate the difficulty, Zhang He as the city guard, well versed in the way of defense, However, if it is in the face of a road Zhang He can still command the arrangement, now the three people and horses are attacking, from the three sides of the city to attack, Zhang He can take care of this side and have to take care of that side, seeing that the middle of the siege is very fierce Cao Cao personally participated, Zhang He had to pay attention to the middle road, at the same time the left and right wings have Cao Cao generals led the army to attack the city, Zhang He was already tired, this time it mobilized his nerves, it was really fatal, Zhang He shuttled back and forth in the city to command, the more tired he was in the end, Although there is no shortage of city defense fortifications in the city, there is a lack of commanders and generals, and there is no need for more, if there is a powerful helper to help him, Zhang He will not be so passive, but unfortunately there is no such helper, and the situation in the city has become grim all of a sudden.

Looking at the battle under the city, in view of the increasing resistance encountered in the city, Zhang He's resistance to the city is becoming weaker and weaker, and as the main force of the attack under the city, Zhang Ji Zhang Xiu Zangba three generals led the army to charge, this reinforcement army soon rushed to the city, began to attack the city one after another, Cao Cao sent people to immediately link up left and right to respond, and soon gradually transferred the advantage to their own side, and gradually controlled the initiative on the battlefield, but said that the city Wen Ping, Ma Chao led the crowd to prepare for the future enemy to completely defeat or drive out of the city, see Dian Wei, Xu Chu both killed, Wen Ping and Ma Chao commanded the army to cover the killing, and with the help of superior forces, the officers and troops in the city flocked to Dian Wei and Xu Chu, although the two bravely faced dozens of times their own enemies, the two were also tired of coping, and were defeated and killed by the officials and soldiers.
