When tens of thousands of arrows and crossbows flew into the sky, Li Dao and Guo Yan immediately realized that something was wrong. Originally, in their minds, Luoyang was almost an undefended city, and there would not be a large number of soldiers and horses at all, at most, it was just those royal forest troops that Ao Lie helped Liu Xie make to defend the town, but at this moment, they suddenly found that they were wrong, and the mistake was outrageous, too outrageous.

Tens of thousands of arrows and crossbows flew down from the sky, densely covering the sky and the sun, and even the light of the sun was temporarily blocked, how many archers would need to fire a salvo at the same time to do it? And the archers are just one of the regular troops, according to this ratio, there are tens of thousands of crossbowmen in Luoyang City alone, so the entire army, I'm afraid there are 100,000 people?

Li Dao and Guo Yan were confused by Ao Lie. This is also Ao Lie's strategy to discuss with Jia Xu and Xu Shu in advance. The news of Ao Lie's arrival in Luoyang, the rebels are still completely ignorant of the way, and it is just by taking advantage of this to give the rebels a dismount first! Using the Bloodkill Army and the Tiger Army, which can fire three crossbows at the same time, the Brook Hand Crossbow misleads the rebels into numbers, making the rebels think that there are a large number of crossbowmen in the city, and treating the 15,000 elites of the two armies who fired the arrows and crossbows as 45,000.

The screams rang out endlessly under Luoyang City. Tens of thousands of rebels were caught off guard by all the shots that could be used as crossbowmen in Luoyang City, and their corpses were scattered all over the field. More than 50,000 arrows and crossbows are not a small number, even if the archery skills are not good, when 50,000 arrows and crossbows are shot down from the high city and scattered tens of thousands of people under the city, the lethality will never be too small, not to mention that there are elites such as the Blood Killing Army and the Tiger Ben Army controlling the hand crossbows.

When the rain of arrows completely stopped, most of the tens of thousands of rebels had been cut off by the crossbows, and less than 10,000 people got up from the pile of corpses in terror, shouting in despair. Running frantically to the rear, they no longer had the courage to continue to stay in this dangerous area, and the tens of thousands of arrows and crossbows had destroyed their courage.

Li Dao and Guo Yan also looked ahead in amazement, and the area in front of them, within a radius of two hundred steps, was densely packed with countless arrows and crossbows, which were either diagonally, straight, or upside down on the corpses of the rebels. The tail of the arrow with the carved feather still trembled slightly, as if to tell Li Dao and Guo Yan that this is the fate of the rebels!

"Ao Lie! It must be Ao Lie! Except for him. No one has such a powerful crossbow army! Li Wei roared angrily. According to the agreement he reached with Guo Tu, Ao Lie should still be in the river now. How could he come to Luoyang unknowingly? Could it be that Ao Lie has the ability to predict the future? Foreseeing that you and others will start a rebellion?

As if to confirm Li Dao's roar, a splendid banner suddenly rose on the head of Luoyang. It is embroidered with a line of big characters with golden silk thread: Han Hussar General, Champion Hou, leading the governor of the five northern states.

Immediately afterwards, Ao Lie, who was wearing the golden armor of the Dragon Roaring Heaven, appeared below the banner. He shouted to the rebels under the city: "Ao Lie is here! If you want to set foot in Luoyang, you must be ready to bury your bones in a foreign land! Benhou will send you to hell one by one to drink tea and chat with Lord Yama! ”

Guo Yan looked at it carefully with some horror, and made sure that the person shouting at the head of the city was Ao Lie. Turning his head to Li Dao, he said, "It's really Ao Lie! Yuan Benchu didn't talk about faithfulness, but when Ao Lie came, he didn't tell us, causing us to lose our troops. ”

Li Wei shook his head slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid that even Yuan Benchu didn't know that Ao Lie had arrived in Luoyang, and we all fell for Ao Lie." ”

Han Sui on the side said with some doubts: "But is this Ao Mohan crazy?" Judging by the arrows and crossbows shot down from the city just now, Ao Lie brought at least 50,000 elite soldiers! Isn't he afraid of his lair being served by Yuan Shao? ”

Yan Xing, the general standing beside Han Sui, had been bowing his head and pondering, until this moment, he suddenly raised his head and said, "That's not right! This is Ao Lie's plan. It is impossible to have so many soldiers and horses in Luoyang City! It is impossible for Ao Lie to leave his lair and bring a large number of elite soldiers to Luoyang, besides, when the team of people and horses leave the river, Yuan Shao should not be unaware of it, there must be fraud in this! ”

Yan Xing's words attracted everyone's attention, and Li Dao asked suspiciously: "But you also saw the arrow crossbow that was shot down just now, how can this be explained?" Could it be that all of the Ao Lie army are sharpshooters who can kill two birds with one stone? ”

Shaking his head, Yan Xing said, "It's not one stone and two eagles, but one crossbow and three arrows!" A certain long-time hearing that Ao Lie is equipped with a mysterious hand crossbow, this kind of hand crossbow can be fired three times in an instant, and three crossbow arrows can be shot at the same time in the shortest possible time, perhaps, Ao Lie is using this kind of hand crossbow to confuse us, in fact, the people he really brought, no more than 20,000! "It is worthy of being a famous general in Xiliang, Yan Xing's judgment is basically close to the truth.

Although Yan Xing's judgment was accurate, in the name of Ao Lie's little overlord, Guo Yan still asked with some concern: "But what if this is not the case you deduced?" What if Ao Lie really brought 50,000 elite soldiers here? ”

"Yes or no, try it and you'll know." Yan Xing said with the demeanor of a general: "I also ask the two generals to give an order to put all the forces of our army into the battlefield and attack the three city gates of Luoyang from three directions. ”

Guo Yan roared angrily: "What nonsense! Are you kidding the lives of all the officers and men of our army?! In stark contrast to Guo Yan's impatience, it is his big brother and old partner Li Dao. Li Wei stretched out his hand and patted Guo Yan on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Wealth is in danger." Anyway, we are already notorious, there is no way out, simply carry out the rebellion to the end, if it is not successful, it will become a benevolent, simply gamble on this. ”

Hearing Li Wei's words, Guo Yan and the others thought about it, too, there is still a way to survive to take Luoyang, if they are defeated, and when Ao Lie solves Yuan Shao, his own people will die sooner or later, judging from Ao Lie's previous style of doing things, he will never allow anyone to stand up and rebel, since everyone has embarked on the road of rebellion now, then go this road to the end, maybe you can get away with fighting a way to live.

After unifying the opinions, Li Wei immediately gave the order, and he led the men and horses of his headquarters to attack Jinguangmen, Guo Yan led the troops and horses of his headquarters to attack the far gate, and Han Sui and the leaders of the Qiang people joined forces to attack Yanping Gate. The three city gates selected by Li Dao are all in the west of Luoyang, which is also determined by geographical constraints, Li Dao does not have so many troops, and goes around to the east of Luoyang to implement a roundabout outflanking, after all, Luoyang City is too big, so he can only choose the three gates of the west city wall to attack.

However, Li Dao's decision, there are still some benefits, these three city gates, Jinguang Gate in the center, is the main gate in the west of Luoyang, Kaiyuan Gate and Yanping Gate are ten miles away from Jinguang Gate respectively, ten miles, this distance is not far or close, not only conducive to the mutual echo of the rebels, but also allows Li Dao to see the back and forth dispatch of the defenders on the city wall, how many men and horses Ao Lie brought, through the battle, it can be seen at a glance.

After resting for half an hour, the three men and horses immediately entered the pre-planned battle area under Li Wei's order, and launched a fierce attack on the three gates of the west wall of Luoyang at the same time.

After seeing the adjustment of the rebels, Jia Xu immediately guessed Li Dao's intentions, and said in surprise: "This is not a method that Li Dao can come up with, it seems that there are still capable people in the rebels." The rebels are obviously testing the deployment of our troops, and they want to find out how many soldiers and horses our army has! ”

Ao Lie nodded, quickly sketched the operational deployment in his mind, and then gave an order loudly: "Zhao Yun, lead the 7,000 Blood Killing Army and the 3,000 Imperial Forest Army to defend and attack Guo Yan, who opened the far gate; Tai Shici, led 5,000 Huben and 5,000 Imperial Forest Army to defend Han Sui who attacked Yanping Gate; Ma Chao, leading a thousand tiger army, come and go to rescue, where there is a crisis, go to help! Zhang Xiu, with two thousand tiger troops, used red-clothed ballistas to maintain the shooting of Li Dao's department under the Jinguang Gate, and first disabled Li Dao's department. ”

Looking back at the generals around him, Ao Lie thought for a moment and continued: "Dian Wei, bring five hundred bloody killing troops to protect His Majesty, so that no one will take advantage of the chaos to riot." The rest of the people stayed in Jinguangmen with Ben Hou and cooperated with Zhang Xiu to attack Li Dao. ”

After Ao Lie's order was finished, everyone was just about to take the order and leave, when Liu Xie's voice suddenly sounded on the city wall: "Brother Huang, you don't need to send someone to protect me, I'm already here." The imperial brother led the soldiers to fight bloodily, as the Son of Heaven, how could I sit in the Dragon Court? "Never calling me in front of Ao Lie is Liu Xie's long-standing habit.

The next moment, Liu Xie turned to the soldiers on the city wall and said loudly: "Soldiers! The wind knows the strength of the grass, the country is in turmoil and shows loyalty, you are all loyal and righteous men of my Han Dynasty! Today, I will fight with you in a bloody battle! As he spoke, Liu Xie ripped off the dragon robe on his body, revealing the soft armor inside, and then strode in front of Ao Lie, like a soldier saluting the general, he bowed to Ao Lie, and said: "Sergeant Liu Xie, obey the orders of the prince!" ”

Ao Lie did not dissuade Liu Xie, as the Son of Heaven, he should have this kind of courage to share weal and woe with the country, which is the most important prerequisite for a country's leaders. Behind Liu Xie, a group of generals led by Huangfu Song also stepped forward one after another, willing to accept Ao Lie's dispatch as ordinary soldiers.

"Come on, give Sergeant Liu Xie a steel knife! From now on, Sergeant Liu Xie was temporarily promoted to the captain of the city gate, and led Huangfu Song and other sergeants to guard the Jinguang Gate with Benhou! Ao Lie said with a loud roar.

When Liu Xie received the steel knife handed by the elite of the Blood Killing Army, Ao Lie and Liu Xie stood side by side and shouted vigorously: "Swear to defend Luoyang to the death!" Never let the rebels step into Luoyang for half a step! ”

From Liu Xie onwards, everyone had a resolute look on their faces, and followed Ao Lie and shouted: "Swear to defend Luoyang to the death!" Swear to defend Luoyang to the death!! (To be continued......)
