Chapter 488: Yuvro's Retreat
The night gradually became thicker, quietly covering up the blood and cruelty in Luoyang City, both warring sides were scarred, just experienced such a tragic battle, the Luoyang Army and the Yellow Turban Army needed a respite, silently licking their wounds.
The calm did not last long, and a new round of bloody rain began again. It was not that Zhang Yan and others were unwilling to lose during the day and went on the offensive overnight, this time, it was the defenders of Luoyang who provoked the incident.
Both sides are exhausted, and now it's up to them to grit their teeth and persevere. The Luoyang Army's will to fight is obviously stronger, or the main general of the Luoyang Army has a strong attack**, and the Luoyang Army's body and nerves seem to be all made of steel, or the toughest kind.
After a short rest, the Darkflower troops attacked again, and the Yellow Turbans on all four walls were targeted. The scale of each sortie was not large, and the remnants of the Luoyang defenders were already difficult to organize an offensive of more than 500 men, and almost every time they could only kill a small part of the Yellow Turban Army, but the Luoyang army was not tired of it, although this would increase the consumption of the body.
"Is Zheng Aniu crazy? What are the benefits of doing so? ”
Zhang Yan was puzzled, it was impossible to change the situation of the battle with such a scale. The incident of Xu Shisheng may have given Zhang Yan a little understanding, but it was not enough for him to clearly see through the true intentions of the Luoyang Army.
At the same time, the Luoyang army launched a wave of decent attacks, including Wang Yue and others, and the Yellow Turban Army on the four walls was harassed "violently". When the Luoyang army retreated, the Yellow Turban Army did not lose many lives, but they lost all the ladders and siege wood!
-- In the siege at the end of yesterday, the siege equipment of the Yellow Turban Army was useless because the defenders suddenly abandoned the strong city walls. The city wall has been taken, and the role of these weapons is only to help the Yellow Turban Army climb the city wall faster, and then they are stacked outside the city, they have completed their historical mission, and even many Yellow Turban troops have used these successful siege equipment to keep warm in the past two nights.
The Luoyang army burned their "firewood", and the low-level Yellow Turban army was furious.
The leader of the Yellow Turban Army was a little stunned, and was very puzzled by this, "How could they be willing to risk the loss of their troops and do such a meaningless thing?" ”
After some discussion, the Yellow Turban Army came to the final conclusion that the Luoyang Army had exhausted their skills, and that they would destroy everything they could see, including the lives of the Yellow Turban Army, by burning these weapons just to vent their anger.
The leaders of the Yellow Turbans had nothing to worry about. Although the "madness" of the Luoyang army made them pay a heavy price, and even made many people feel the taste of the "nightmare" of the day, everyone knew that if nothing else, the Luoyang army was almost finished, and although today's street battle ended in a fiasco, it killed and wounded a large number of defenders, and if it wasn't for that fire, the battle would have been resolved in half an hour.
"Just let them live one more night, and you have to give people a chance to vent." The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army showed some rare mercy, of course, if it weren't for their unwillingness to let more soldiers die in Luoyang City, it would have been inevitable to attack the city overnight.
It seems that in order to confirm the inference of the Yellow Turban Army, after burning the siege equipment, the frequency of action of the defenders of Luoyang quickly decreased, as if the defenders were very satisfied with the "results" just now. The Yellow Turban Army breathed a sigh of relief, the only thing that felt uncomfortable may be the Yellow Turban in Xicheng, because the defenders' next attacks were almost all aimed at Xicheng, and the number of battles increased significantly, and even Wang Yue, Li Qi, Liu Xing and others appeared here again and again, and the young general who used the stringless bow also hid in the dark and constantly harvested the lives of the Yellow Turban archers.
The Yellow Turban Army in Xicheng quickly and wisely hid their bodies behind the female wall, and the Yellow Turban Army who served as the sentry was unlucky, and there were already more than 20 people hanging on the sentry position, all of whom were killed by secret arrows.
"There must be a conspiracy here!"
Zhang Yan said with certainty, please don't ask him what the basis for this judgment is, let alone the content of this leader's conspiracy, the face that reveals distress in his majesty is enough to show that Zhang Yan doesn't know.
There were not many Yellow Turban troops in Xicheng, and they were only set up to prevent the Flying Wing Battalion from going out of the city from the West Gate, and the hand-to-hand combat during the day weakened the strength of Xicheng, and now there are only more than 3ooo people left, and they are all Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan's descendants.
Zhang Yan is a master who believes in "Dead Dao Friends Do Not Die Poor Dao", and with a roll of his eyes, he suddenly had an idea.
"Send someone to tell He Yi and Guo Tai that Cao Cao's army will arrive soon, and the Montenegrin army outside Xicheng will be transferred back to Dongcheng to fight against Cao's army with all their might, and let them send some troops to take over the defense of Xicheng. There are also Hun cavalry to assist in the defense in the west, and they don't need to send too many troops, as long as they don't let the Luoyang army escape from the west gate. ”
Zhang Yan quickly found a high-sounding reason for himself - to fight against Cao Jun, but Guo Tai and He Yi were not fools, and they could see Zhang Yan's thoughts at a glance. "Cao Cao's troops will have to arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest, and Luoyang will have already been captured by us by that time! Your grandfather's, isn't he just worried that his own people are dying too much, and he is trying to find such an excuse, I'm sorry! ”
Having said that, after all, everyone is still "close comrades-in-arms" now, and it is not a way for the Montenegrin Army to be divided into two parts, east and west, He Yi and Guo Tai still obediently sent their own troops, but they are not their own descendants, but other small forces of the Yellow Turban.
But the two yellow turban leaders who won the lottery are also not stupid, "I want Lao Tzu to be cannon fodder, but there is no door!" ”
Although it is said that it is necessary to give priority to the overall situation, it is certainly not possible to lose one's head for the sake of the overall situation, and it seems that the military order does not say that all the troops must be pulled over, so there is a possibility of cutting corners. The two leaders coincidentally sent 5oo people as representatives to take over the defense of the west city wall of Luoyang, while the two "obligatory" leaders slept peacefully.
"Isn't it just looking at the city wall, so many people are enough, besides, there are Hun cavalry outside."
At two o'clock, most of the Yellow Turban Army had already fallen asleep, and thirty miles away from the west gate of Luoyang, a skirmish broke out, and the Thunder Cavalry and Yuvro's Hun cavalry met.
The 1,000 cavalry led by Li Jin arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang as early as noon, and received an order from Luoyang from the mouth of the envoy, Li Jin's first task was not to rush to Luoyang's aid immediately, but to consider how to beat these Huns to the ground. Xu Rong did not underestimate the possible influence of more than 2,000 Hun cavalry on the war, and as a good military strategist, he always hoped to eliminate the unstable factors he saw if possible.
This was not a wonderful encounter, more than 3,000 warriors of different positions and races met in a narrow way, and the battle became the main and only melody.
Li Jin's sneak attack failed to be truly taken by surprise, and the Huns were extremely alert, as if they had one eye open when they slept. Another reason is that because the sound of the thunder ride is too loud, the 77 pounds of iron wall armor is very heavy, plus the weight of the cavalry and the war horse, the sound of hooves is like thunder in the silent wilderness, if the Huns can't show up in advance, then it's really a hell.
Before the Thunder Cavalry stormed into the makeshift camp, the Hun warriors were all ready for battle, and the steppe boy could hear a lot of information from the sound of horses' hooves:
Thousands of horsemen left and right, with heavy hooves, should be heavy cavalry.
"A thousand cavalry dare to sneak up on us with an axe, are we Hun warriors easy to bully? Today, let's teach them how to behave! Juvro gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
The battle did not last long before it ended, and from the moment of engagement to the retreat of one side, the winner was decided in less than ten minutes. Facts have proved that if you want to teach others a lesson, you must at least have enough strength or firm will, otherwise you can only be like Yu Fuluo, who will walk away in disgrace.
Li Jin's thunder ride taught Yu Fuluo a lesson.
The archery skills of the Huns were very accurate, but in order to accurately hit the target in the dark, the difficulty was not ordinary; The Hun warriors were brave enough to fight, but their opponents seemed to be even more ferocious; To the greatest frustration of Huvro's troops, the group of enemies seemed to be all Astro Boy with copper heads and iron arms (of course, these NPC warriors didn't know what the so-called Astro Boy was), and the arrows couldn't get in, and the sabers didn't have much effect.
After paying for the lives of more than 100 warriors, Huvro chose to retreat.
The grassland people already like to consume the enemy's forces in sports warfare, and it is normal to run away if they can't fight, not to mention that Yu Fuluo is in exile in the Central Plains, and his subordinates are so many people available, and if they die, there will be one less, so naturally they don't want to lose their troops needlessly.
"Damn the Yellow Turban Army, say that the cavalry of the Luoyang Army has been disabled by them, and there are only one or two hundred people left, but we just faced a thousand people; Also, not light cavalry at all, but heavy cavalry! We were betrayed by them! ”
"However, this army may not be Feng Xiang's troops!" A Hun said.
"Then it's even more important to go! They are likely to be Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Luoyang's reinforcements have arrived, why are we staying here? Didn't they put us here because they were afraid that we would rob us of the loot! Juvro said angrily.
The Huns, who were furious, didn't even send someone to report to Guo Tai and the others, and just walked away.
