Chapter 352: Luoyang Melee
Cao Cao turned around and saw his familiar figure, familiar outfit, his heart was settled, and he shouted: "Zihe, Zihe, come and help me." β
Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry is called "the world's Xiaorui", also known as the first cavalry of the Three Kingdoms by later generations, different from other armies, the tiger and leopard cavalry are composed of officers in the Yanzhou army, which is the same as Lin Sen's Yulin Shenwei, heavy riding for the tiger, light riding for the leopard, collectively known as the tiger and leopard cavalry, the number of people at this time is only 10,000 people.
This is in the game, the scale has expanded a lot, otherwise the number of tigers and leopards riding at this time should be very small according to history, and in comparison, the transfer conditions of tigers and leopards are much lower than those of Yulin Shenwei, after Cao Cao's focus on development in recent years, it has developed to this scale.
The addition of the Tiger and Par Cavalry led to an instant reversal of the battlefield situation, and at the same time, Cao Cao commanded his troops to launch a full-scale counterattack.
After all, the wolf riders were few people, and with the support of the tiger and leopard riders, the defenders of Luoyang, who were on the verge of collapse, seemed to have been re-injected with momentum and slaughtered the wolf riders.
The worst thing cavalry can do is to be entangled, protracted fighting, once the cavalry is entangled by the enemy, the battle drags on for a long time, it will fall into a disadvantage.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the wolf rider was finally repulsed, throwing down more than 5,000 corpses, and retreated rapidly under the leadership of Lu Bu, the battle between Lu Bu and Xu Chu was still undecided, but after a hundred moves, Xu Chu was slightly weaker, and it was not obvious.
Repelled Lu Bu, Cao Cao knew that the court and the Son of Heaven would definitely be held by him in his hands from now on, maybe his strength was not the strongest in the Han Dynasty now, but he occupied an advantage that no one had, and the court was in his hands.
Cao Chun came back after dealing with the matter and walked up to Cao Cao. Asked, "Big brother, are you okay?" β
Cao Cao said, "Fortunately, you came in time. Otherwise, it will be really dangerous, Lu Fengxian is really worthy of the name of invincible in the world. His wolf cavalry is also the elite cavalry in the world, and 100,000 people can't stop his two charges of 20,000 or 30,000 horsemen. By the way, how did you get here. β
Cao Chun replied: "The military advisor was worried about your safety, so he sent me to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to take the lead and come to support the eldest brother, but fortunately I caught up." β
"Well, where is the army?"
Cao Chun replied: "According to the distance, it is estimated that there will be half a day's journey to get here." β
"Okay, great, the battlefield is cleaned. Continue the march, and we must rush to Luyang tonight. β
On the way to catch up with the emperor by LΓΌ Bu, a big battle also broke out in Luoyang, Cao Hong and the three commanded the army to intercept the wolf cavalry successfully and then retreated to the southern suburbs of the camp, they now have nowhere to go, Cao Cao did not give them the order to withdraw the army, can only temporarily stay in the southern suburbs of the camp, waiting for the next military order.
As I said before, a total of four groups of men and horses were forcibly marching last night. Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Lu Bu, Li Wei all the way, and Xu Rong not far behind him, Wang Geng returned to Chang'an. Li Wei led the army to advance quickly towards Luoyang, but they did not expect Cao Cao to have such great determination, leading his troops to march day and night for two days and one night. They just marched during the day and rested at night. Until he heard that Lu Bu was attacking Luoyang and almost captured it. Li Wei led his troops on a night march, hoping to reach Luoyang before dawn and participate in the war for the Son of Heaven.
It's just that it's still a step late, Cao Cao has already abducted the imperial court, but Li Wei doesn't know, at dawn, rushed to the eastern suburbs, rested for a while, and killed into Lu Bu's old camp, no one was seen, I don't know why, continue to go to Luoyang City, see the city densely covered with defenders, Chen Gong stood in it, Li Wei thought for a moment, stepped forward and shouted: "Lord Chen, I am Li Wei, I heard that Luoyang was robbed by traitors, and specially led troops to reinforce the general, I don't know where the general is?" β
Chen Gong suddenly became suspicious and shouted: "You are not stationed at the Tiger Prison Pass, resisting the Jizhou Army, why did you come back, could it be that the Tiger Prison Pass was lost?" The Jizhou army has invaded? β
Li Wei's mind turned quickly, and he hurriedly shouted: "No, the Tiger Prison Pass was not lost, I heard that Luoyang was lost, so the last general discussed it with General Wang Geng, and he continued to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and the last general brought 200,000 troops back to assist the general in eradicating the traitors and clearing the world." β
There are 400,000 soldiers and horses behind Li Wei, but it seems that he can only see the head and the flag behind him, who can tell whether this is 400,000 or 200,000.
Chen Gong thought for a while, what Li Wei said was also reasonable, after all, Li Wei had the earliest time to take refuge in Lu Bu, and he was also one of Lu Bu's most trusted people, and bringing troops back at this time could also show their loyalty.
"Okay, great, it's just the right time for you to come back, General Li, you wait a moment, and I'll open the door for you."
Li Wei smiled at the corner of his mouth, saw the city gate slowly open, and the drawbridge also fell, with a wave of his big hand, he led the army into Luoyang first.
400,000 people, enter Luoyang and have to go for a while, Chen Gong also came down to greet Li Wei, Li Wei's acting skills are also good, while walking, chatting with Chen Gong.
"Lord Chen, the general is really a martial artist, he captured Luoyang so quickly, the imperial court is in control again, and there is no one else in the world who can do it except the general."
Li Wei is his own person, Chen Gong naturally has nothing to hide, and said: "Haha, last night, the spies found that the defenders of Luoyang had fled, and the general took the opportunity to occupy Luoyang. β
Li Wei continued to say: "Where is the general, the last general will hurry up and pay a visit." β
"The soldiers and horses that fled last night turned out to be guarding the emperor's hundred officials, and the general led the wolf cavalry to pursue them, hoping to intercept the emperor's hundred officials."
Li Wei was both happy and sad in his heart, the reason goes without saying, but the fact is already like this, there is no way to change it, who let himself only think about looting the emperor, but he did not pay the due price, so he could only appoint.
However, at present, Luoyang is empty, the wolf rider is taken away, Lu Bu is not there, Chen Gong is not a general, at most there are only a few Cao Xing, and the gap in the comparison of troops is also very large, he is enough to take Luoyang, if Chen Gong can be subdued under the account, it will be a beautiful thing, for this reason Li Wei chatted with Chen Gong vigorously, trying not to let Chen Gong notice him.
Chen Gong and Li Wei walked side by side, but the more they walked, the more they felt wrong, the Luoyang City Gate was wide, and it was easy for fifty people to walk side by side, Li Wei said that he only brought 200,000 troops, he chatted with Li Wei for a long time, Li Wei's soldiers and horses should almost all enter the city, but there are still people entering the city for such a long time, there must be fraud, and Li Wei brought back more than 200,000.
Chen Gong tried to ask: "General Li, how many soldiers and horses did you bring back, and why did no one enter the city for so long?" β
Li Wei pretended to be confused and said, "200,000, it may be that the soldiers are tired from marching all the way and are walking slowly." β
Chen Gong nodded thoughtfully, walked for a while, and saw Cao Xing and a few people, Chen Gong suddenly ran forward, shouting: "General Cao, Li Wei has betrayed the general, quickly capture him." β
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, he didn't react, he was still talking and laughing just now, why did Chen Gong suddenly shout this.
Li Wei knew that it was not good, Chen Gong had already noticed his misdeeds, and it was impossible to capture Chen Gong alive, he had already run to Cao Xing's side, and Cao Xing's force was much higher than him, so he turned around and ran, and fled back to his army first.
Seeing that Cao Xing and the others did not move, the anxious Chen Gong shouted: "General Cao, what are you waiting for, Li Wei has already surrendered to the enemy, this time he brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now that the general is not here, you still want to capture him quickly, do you want to sit back and watch Li Wei occupy Luoyang?" β
Cao Xing and the others were woken up by Chen Gong at this time, and when they saw Li Wei running backwards, they knew that there must be a ghost in his heart, so he hurriedly raised his hand and quickly chased forward, shouting: "Li Wei has defected, hurry up and capture him." β
Li Wei had already prepared, and if he could successfully deceive into the city, he would have less trouble attacking the city, and after running back, he immediately organized a large army to attack and fight for Luoyang.
Several players led the army to attack the east city wall, there was a large number of enemy troops on it, Li Wei occupied an absolute advantage of troops, 400,000 against 100,000, and fully prepared, even if there was no military general like Cao Xing, in terms of command ability alone, many players were not inferior to historical generals, but the combat power was much different.
The players under Li Wei led the army to fight separately, fighting the enemy army everywhere, and fighting street battles, either side was familiar with Luoyang, and there was no problem of geographical advantage.
In fact, in Chen Gong's vision of the future, Luoyang has been excluded, Luoyang is surrounded by several forces, it can not be defended for a long time, it is imperative to retreat to Chang'an, at present, only Lu Bu has not returned, whether to intercept the emperor and the hundred officials do not know, they can only try to delay the time, wait until Lu Bu returns, and then go to Hangu and Chang'an.
In this way, the battle lasted until noon, Lu Bu had not returned, most of Luoyang had fallen into the hands of Li Wei, and at this time Xu Rong led the army to arrive, the Cao army in the southern suburbs heard that a big battle broke out in the city, rested for a morning, and also joined the battle at noon, the form became more and more unfavorable to the Chen Gong side, and then did not leave to be wrapped dumplings, and Cao Xing and a few people with twenty or thirty thousand wolf horses hurriedly out of the West Gate, retreated in the direction of Hangu Pass, and sent dozens of horses to the south to find Lu Bu.
In this way, after a morning of scuffle, Lu Bu's army was defeated, and the people of Lin Sen's camp occupied the old capital Luoyang, and the new pattern was quietly changing......
