Xiahou Ming led his troops to Luyang City, the sunset had already set its last afterglow, and the shadows had already come from the sky, Xia Houming felt that his heart was completely covered by shadows.

"Open the door, open the door ......"

Looking at the closed West City Gate, Xiahou Ming reported a glimmer of hope and shouted the door.

Luyang City seemed to be asleep, and there was not a single soldier on the head of the city, and there was no response.

"Will ...... General, how...... Do? ”

The general on the side made a "bang" in his stomach, and looked at Xia Houming with a slightly red face.

After running for most of the day, ambushing and hurrying, Xiahou Ming also felt that the hunger and thirst in his stomach was growing, and his heart was even more panicked, these thousands of soldiers and horses had no water and no food, if Luyang was lost, this situation would ...... It's not good!

"Siege!"

As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, and Xiahou Ming gritted his teeth and ordered a team of soldiers to start a tentative siege with improvised ladders and ropes.

"...... Uproar"

The west city gate was instantly filled with dense soldiers, arrows rained down, where could Cao Jun's temporary siege equipment be supported, and retreated in a crying father and shouting mother.

After gaining Song Zhong's trust, Liu Wei took out Liu Qi's token and temporarily took over Luyang City.

In terms of troops, Liu Wei has already taken advantage, and he is waiting for work at ease, guarding the fortified city, how can Cao's soldiers be able to capture it.

Xia Houming only felt that his mood had sunk to the bottom.

I led my troops from Yuzhou and entered the boundary of Jingzhou, to put it bluntly, I crossed the border, and I wanted to withdraw to Chen Liu as soon as possible after dealing with this matter, so as not to cause disputes among the princes, but I don't want to be in a dilemma now.

Ahead was the city, and the troops were hungry and thirsty, and their morale was gone.

If you don't attack the city, your baggage is all in the city, there is no food, grass, and water, how can you lead the troops to fight!

Xiahou Ming couldn't advance or retreat, so he had to move the formation outside the range of the arrows, and at this time the sky was completely dark, and Xiahou Ming was secretly thinking in his heart.

"General, look!"

The general pointed to the city head and screamed.

Xiahou Ming looked at it fixedly, but he was taken aback, only to see that there were many torches on the head of the city, and the long city wall was full of soldiers, and many people pointed at themselves and laughed.

"The Jingzhou Army must have been absorbed by Shen Wansan!" Xiahou Ming became more and more flustered, and at this time, the city gate automatically opened.

"General, the door is open, do you want to go into the city?"

The general was hungry and thirsty, his eyes were green, and he pointed to the dark gate, as if it were heaven.

Joy was only for a moment, when he heard the sound of the war horse, Xiahou Ming understood that the defenders were going to beat the water dogs, and looked at the depressed subordinates around him, Xiahou Ming knew that the soldiers had no heart to fight at this time.

"Removal ......"

Making a decision on the spot is a necessary quality for a general, and Xiahou Ming saw that the situation was no longer possible, so he decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army.

All the Cao army turned around and left, so back and forth a few times, running was bitter, Xiahou Ming saw that the enemy army did not chase after him, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but in the dark night, the other party was not good at night fighting.

"General, where are you going?"

The general caught up and asked in a low voice.

Xiahou Ming's attention was focused on the city just now, and when he heard the general ask, he reacted.

"yes, where are you going?"

Before he could come up with an answer, he saw a scout rushing up.

"General, the enemy army has a group of cavalry, about several hundred people, following us behind, and does not attack, and I break the rear troops to meet them, and they do not engage in battle, and when our army begins to march, they hang up from the side."

Xiahou Ming "......"

The partial general said urgently: "It's not good, the enemy army is all cavalry, and it uses tired tactics, and when our army is exhausted, it will attack." ”

Xiahou Ming has given up this mission in his heart, only hoping that the whole army can return to Kunyang safely, although he lost an opportunity, but he has no loss, and now he heard that the enemy's cavalry is following behind, and he only feels that he is in a dilemma.

If you retreat again, I am afraid that Kunyang has not arrived, and the enemy has already launched an attack.

"Calm down, you have to be calm." Xia Houming forced himself to stabilize his emotions......

……

Lu Yin and Chen Zhi took three hundred cavalry, hanging behind unhurriedly, looking at the starry sky, Chen Zhi smacked his lips, "General Lu, when will you give them a hard time?" ”

Lu Yin looked at this young man who looked like a thin monkey, and stretched his voice with the demeanor of a general, "The Art of War is not to defeat the Cao army, but to let them advance according to the route we have formulated."

Chen Zhi nodded when he heard this, "This battle is fun, and this time is the time to have fun." ”

"What's so fun about that? If the light is dark, it's time to sleep. Although Lu Yin is a heroine, her daughter's family is naturally protective and rarely stays up late.

"Oh, General Lu, I said, now is the best time to act."

"What action?" Lu Yin felt inexplicable, and couldn't help but ask.

"I want to think about the past." Chen Zhi immediately opened the conversation box and told the glorious deeds of peeking at women taking a bath at night, going to a mass grave to rob, and stealing food.

Lu Yin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and unconsciously said a sentence, "You are the best candidate for the leader of the beggar gang." ”

"General, what do you mean by the leader of the beggar gang......"

……

After knowing the enemy's tactics, Xiahou thought for a long time, ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, and sent several scouts to Kunyang.

Lu Yin and Chen Zhi saw that the enemy army was not running, and carried out a tentative attack, the effect was not ideal, although the Cao army was tired, but it was also a long-fought division, and resisted in batches under the command of Xiahou Ming, especially the cold arrows of the archers, which were really difficult to defend against in the dark night.

Lu Yin and Chen Zhi saw that the other party was not a fish belly army, and the military spirit had not yet collapsed, and they did not dare to push too much.

It was not easy for Liu Wei to piece together 300 cavalry, this team of men and horses was extremely chaotic, the military spirit was not stable, and it was barely competent to harass the enemy army, but it was useless to really charge the camp.

Lu Yin saw that he couldn't help Xiahou Ming, so he took a few relatives back to the city to report to the lord, and Chen Zhi saw Lu Yin leaving, he was happy, and he beat gongs and drums all night, and suddenly used cold arrows, although it could not cause Cao's military camp to roar, but it also made them miserable.

……

After listening to Lu Yin's report, Liu Wei looked at the map, and after a half-loud groan, he made a "snap", which startled Lu Yin.

"Cao Apu wants to play, then play bigger, I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him very much!"

As soon as he heard the lord's words, Lu Yin looked at the expression on the corner of his mouth again, and couldn't help laughing, "Lord, this thousand-mile solo ride is over, is the radish meeting now?" ”

"It's a turnip meeting!" Liu Wei made up his mind, "Pull Liu Biao in, lest we fight here, but he is dreaming of spring and autumn in Cai's hot quilt, which is too unfair!" ”

Summoning a Yulin guard, Liu Wei instructed: "Inform Chen to go to Lushan in the dark to take advantage of the darkness to take Pang Tong and the others next, count his first merit, or else the military law will serve you." “
