Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "In war, there will inevitably be casualties, and once Luoyang is attacked, how important it is to our army, I guess Fengxiao also knows." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "The lord's words are yes, but I am too short-sighted, and I am a little reluctant to see that there are too many casualties among the soldiers." ”

"Not only is it reluctant to be filial, but so is this king, these soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they died under the city, how miserable."

"Why didn't the lord organize soldiers to attack the city, open the city gates, and welcome the army into the city?" Guo Jia asked, it is said that this is the usual method of the Xiliang Army since it sent troops, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly, and the two Xiongguan passes of Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass have been conquered one by one.

"There are more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and the guard general Cao Ren is a famous general, it is impossible not to pay attention to his own safety, according to the news from the spies in the city, Cao Ren ordered the guards to protect the camp around the tent, without his order, no one wants to approach, the city gate is also strictly guarded, even the family in the city, have a connection with Cao Jun, secretly support Cao Ren." Jia Rong said.

"I'm a little timid." Guo Jia said disappointedly: "But the family in the city should not be underestimated. ”

"Hehe, if such a thing is put on anyone, it will protect his own safety, and Cao Ren also understands his importance to Luoyang." Jia Rong's eyes suddenly sharpened and said: "Even if Cao Ren is tightly protected, this king has a way to conquer Luoyang, the blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain, pass the order to go down, attack the three city walls with all his might, and not give the defenders any respite, as for the family, when Luoyang is breached, it will be the day they regret it." ”

At this time, the moat outside the city has been filled on three sides, and the defenders in the city have become a little overwhelmed, after all, the Xiliang army has nearly 100,000 people, and they only have more than 10,000 people, after days of attrition, many soldiers are seriously injured, and the combat effectiveness has weakened nearly 3,000 people, but the soldiers have been less than 10,000, and it is a little difficult to protect the three city walls.

Luoyang is not like a tiger prison, can seal the city gate, not to that step, Cao Ren will definitely not do that, he is waiting for the reinforcements of the Cao army, once there are reinforcements to arrive, open the city gate, come to the inside and outside, the Xiliang army will be in chaos, Cao Jun has no chance of victory.

The Xiliang army attacked Luoyang day and night, the one-time investment of troops reached 10,000 people, three city walls were attacked at the same time, thunderbolt cars and crossbow cars, do not want to die to pour into the city, the soldiers are not afraid of death and brave forward, once rushed to the city wall, the defenders on the city is a fatal blow, on weapons and equipment, no one can be the right, and the soldiers are usually well-trained, after attacking the city wall, let the defenders rush for a while, and then there are the private soldiers of the family in the middle of the stirring, it is even more chaotic.

In just one month, the defenders showed no support, in the face of such a fierce offensive of the Xiliang army, Cao Ren was moved, the defenders only had five thousand people, including wounded soldiers, the price paid by the Xiliang army was greater, they claimed to be the first army in the world to attack the city wall and ordinary princes and soldiers were no different, they would still die and wail when they were hit by stones.

Such a siege consumed a lot of materials for the defenders, and the arrows and boulders in the city were only enough for half a month.

Unlike the Tiger Prison Pass, the city wall of Luoyang is thick, and even if a lone wolf soldier wants to climb the city wall, it is impossible, and the idea of sending soldiers into the city to sneak attack is cut off.

The soldiers on both sides gradually became angry, after all, they lost so many robes.

At this time, the Cao army has been ready to assemble, is rushing in the direction of Luoyang, less than seven days, can give support to the defenders in the city, then even the Xiliang army is strong, it is difficult to win Luoyang, can only return to Chang'an in the gray, like the tiger prison pass Bishui Pass and other difficult to fight the level, will also return to the hands of Cao Jun.

The construction of these levels is completely external and not internal, attacking outside the Tiger Prison Pass and attacking inside the Tiger Prison Pass are not at the same level at all, and Cao Jun can easily seize the Tiger Prison Pass from the inside of the pass.

The speed of the Cao army made Jia Rong panic, he didn't want a year's gathering to go to waste, and the price paid by the Cao army was obviously less than that of the Xiliang army, and the losses of the defending side and the besieging side were often more than one to two or even more.

The night is dark and the wind is high, Jia Rong has never been able to sleep peacefully, success or failure will be announced tonight, if this sneak attack can not be successful, can only retreat, continuous consumption, even the Xiliang army can not afford it, a crossbow arrow of a ballista car costs a lot, and the consumption of the thunderbolt car is also a huge amount, the soldier's armor and weapons are not to say, a battle, is a competition for money, to see who has more money in his hand, and is more willing to smash it.

Guo Jia and other important generals in the army were also in Jia Rong's tent, quietly waiting for something.

After a long time, Zhao Yun broke the tranquility and said, "Lord, can you really succeed?" For Jia Rong's strategy, Zhao Yun has some doubts, although over the years he has developed an attitude of great trust in Jia Rong, but after all, this matter is related to the lives of hundreds of soldiers, and the victory or defeat of the attack on Luoyang, Cao's army is only a day's journey from Luoyang, and the vanguard troops are afraid that they will be able to arrive at dawn, and the Xiliang army in general, Cao Cao also attaches great importance to the development of cavalry, and there are not a few cavalry equipped in the army, and the equipment of the two sides is almost the same in the face of such a situation, the Xiliang cavalry wandering on the battlefield can only continue to harass.

"This king is confident that he can take down Luoyang in a battle, but General Lu and General Ma are ready?" Jia Rong set his eyes on Zhao Yun.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the gates of Luoyang to be opened." Zhao Yundao, I'm afraid Cao Ren never dreamed that he wanted to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, but gave the Xiliang army a chance, a chance to seize Luoyang, this is also Cao Ren's temporary decision after knowing that the vanguard army of the Cao army can arrive at dawn, before the fierce offensive of the Western Liang army once let Cao Ren completely seal the city gate, and then lifted it himself.

It was already late at night, in the camp of the Cao army, there was silence, Cao Ren was fully armored, sitting on the handsome chair, except for today, the rest of the time, the Xiliang army was fiercely attacking, such a high-intensity battle, there can be no negligence.

In the Immortal Love Pavilion, Su Shuang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he ordered the servant on the side, "Take me to the secret room." ”

In the secret room, three hundred black-clothed people have already gathered, these people were secretly trained by Jia Rong at the suggestion of Su Shuang when he was in Luoyang, just to be able to use it one day, this time Cao Ren exercised strict control over the Xianlian Pavilion, but with the stalemate of the war, he gradually relaxed a lot, mainly Su Shuang was too honest, and the Cao soldiers who broke into the Xianlian Pavilion searched casually, even if they took a little thing away, they would not argue, and after a long time, Cao Ren lost his original vigilance against him, Thinking that Su Shuang is just a businessman planted by the Xiliang Army in Luoyang, his existence is estimated to create more profits for the Xiliang Army, Cao Ren even thought that through Su Shuang, the production method of Xianlian will be set out.

"Ready? The lord's army will soon enter the city, and at all costs, create chaos in the city and prepare for the lord's entry into the city. Su Shuangdao.

Three hundred men in black all claimed yes, their voices low and echoing through the dimly lit chamber.

Su Shuang has a lot of trust in the three hundred people in black, because these people are all orphans adopted by Su Shuang over the years, and they are loyal, even if Su Shuang gives them an order to commit suicide collectively, he will not hesitate.

On the mountain not far from Luoyang, five hundred soldiers were waiting for them, they had no armor on their bodies, and they wore ring-headed knives on their waists, and these ring-headed knives were all made of refined steel, and they were definitely hot things when they were put in the army, but now they were handed.

"It's time, start." Jia Rong ordered.

The rumbling war drums sounded in the Xiliang army, the three city walls of Luoyang, all of them were densely packed with soldiers, accompanied by the sound of war drums, launched an offensive against Luoyang, many days of attack, the soldiers seem to have been accustomed to this kind of life, watching the former companions fall one by one, their hearts have long been filled with anger, and they climbed the city wall in order to be able to kill one more enemy, and when the war reached this time, few people cared about life and death.

This kind of war, for the soldiers and officers at the bottom, is a huge meat grinder, can survive the war of the bottom officers, the lowest in the future is the company commander battalion commander level figures, put in the Xiliang Army, is also a momentary figure, war is not only a test of the training results of officers and men in the army, but also a shortcut for people with lofty ideals to go to a high position.

"Warriors, are you ready? This is the Zuihou battle of the Xiliang Army, if we can't capture Luoyang, we can only roll back to Chang'an in disgrace, let the world laugh. Zhao Yun shouted loudly.

"Kill, kill, kill." Thousands of soldiers roared in unison, and the sound continued to echo in the sky for a long time.

"King Liang is watching you in the back, on weekdays, you claim to be the elite of the army, the tigers on the battlefield, zuihou fight, take all your courage to take the city." Zhao Yun roared.

The movement outside the city, Cao Ren had already learned that there were still more than 8,000 soldiers in his hands, although more of them were soldiers of the family, but in defending the city, it was more than enough, enough to support the arrival of Cao Jun.

"Zuihou War? Hmph, let's string the bow and arrow, let Xiliang Jun see that Cao Jun is not easy to bully, you are also warriors. Cao Ren said.
