Li Ru, the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo, stood up at the right time and said: "Lord, don't hesitate, although the Yulin Divine Guard is powerful, but its number is very small, only a thousand people, the lord's Xiliang Iron Cavalry has 500,000 people, if you can defeat Lin Sen in one fell swoop, the loss of 100,000 and 200,000 is not impossible!" ”

Dong Zhuo is distressed! His Flying Bear Army Infantry Cavalry together has only 800,000 people, the infantry is useless at this time, can only rely on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to charge the battle, he has been in Liangzhou for many years, half of the Flying Bear Army is equipped with yellow equipment, it is a pity to die in battle!

Dong Zhuo thought differently from Li Ru, he was waiting for Li Dao, Guo Yan and others outside the city, waiting for them to lead the soldiers and horses to come, and attack Lin Sen in front and back, and they would definitely win easily.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that Li Dao and Guo Yan are also in trouble at this time, and they won't be able to come for a while.

Lin Sen brought a total of 700,000 troops divided into several troops, Lin Sen took the most elite part to attack Luoyang, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led an army to attack Li Dao, Chu Yan led an army to attack Niu Fu, and Zhang Liao, who was newly attached to Lin Sen, led an army to attack Guo Yan, and launched a night attack at the same time, the purpose was to annihilate all Dong Zhuo's troops outside the city in one fell swoop.

Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Chu Yan attacked very smoothly, especially Zhang Liao, he had a forty percent attribute bonus for night raids, and the garrisons under his command immediately became the strength of advanced troops or advanced troops, and Dong Zhuo's elite were all in Luoyang City, only a small part of the troops led by Li Dao, Guo Yan and Niu Fu were the elite of Xiliang, most of them were the original army of Luoyang City, or the old department of He Jin and He Miao, with medium combat effectiveness, not up or down, and was quickly defeated by Zhang Liao, Guo Yan took advantage of the night to flee frantically, only escaped, and there were not many soldiers and horses left.

Zhang Liao led the army to quickly support Chu Yan, Chu Yan is the only one of the generals on his side, and there is no attribute bonus in the night raid battle, if he is entangled by Niu Fu, it is likely that he will not win quickly, and the soldiers will be injured a lot, Zhang Liao arrived to see, and sure enough, as he expected, Chu Yan is fighting with Niu Fu, and the soldiers are also mixed together, but Chu Yan's side firmly occupies the advantage, and it is only a matter of time before Niu Fu is defeated.

Now it's okay, with Zhang Liao's joining, Niu Fu was defeated on all fronts, and even he himself was slashed by Chu Yan, almost hacked to death, dragging the remnants of his body, leading the remaining soldiers and horses to quickly disappear into the night, without a trace.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are better here, and the time to end the battle is relatively fast, the two of them fought Li Dao together, and within a few rounds, Li Dao ran away, he has the protective aura of the princes, and he can't easily die if he doesn't have time, or with the combat effectiveness of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there is no problem in killing Li Dao, but Li Dao is even more miserable, he was slashed several times, and he was not at the point, if he didn't sacrifice his life to slash at Wen Chou, forcing Yan Liang and Wen Chou to retreat, he would definitely not be able to run!

didn't have time to clean up the battlefield thoroughly, leaving only a few thousand people, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang Liao had one idea, that is, they were worried about Chu Yan, so they quickly rushed to Chu Yan's side, and when they went to the place, Chu Yan and Zhang Liao had already won a big victory, and they were cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the prisoners of war.

The four of them laughed when they met, and winning this big victory helped their lord Lin Sen very much, and the day when they defeated Dong Zhuo was not far off.

The four commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collect prisoners of war, but they were more worried about Lin Sen's safety, and wanted to rush to Luoyang City as soon as possible to support Lin Sen.

Dong Zhuo didn't come to attack, Lin Sen didn't attack, just held each other, to be honest, Lin Sen didn't dare to attack, he is now a goose-shaped formation that focuses on defensive formations, once it is transformed into an offensive formation, if Dong Zhuo suddenly attacks in this process, he will definitely not be able to stop Xiliang Iron Cavalry charging, not to mention that he is short of soldiers and horses, so he will be defeated, so be it, they are all waiting for reinforcements, just see whose reinforcements can come!

After a long time, Lin Sen heard strong footsteps behind him, it seemed that there were a lot of people, Lin Sen hurriedly walked to the back, to see who was coming, after seeing it, he laughed and walked to the front of the formation again.

"Dong Zhuo, old thief, are you waiting for Li Dao and Guo Yan? To tell you the truth, don't wait, they can't come anymore, hahaha! ”

Dong Zhuo was shocked, what does Lin Sen mean by this, Li Dao and Guo Yan can't come? Have they betrayed him? It's impossible, he still knows a lot about the loyalty of Li and Guo, has he been defeated? So who has the strength to defeat three forces at the same time?

For a while, several question marks appeared in Dong Zhuo's mind, and he was also wondering, there was also a period of time in the battle in Luoyang City, and according to the time, it was inferred that Li Dao, Guo Yan and Niu Fu should have come to support a long time ago, but they didn't come at this time, something big must have happened, was it really defeated?

After a while, Dong Zhuo received a report, and sure enough, he knew the news of the defeat of Li Dao and several people, Li Dao, Guo Yan and Niu Fu then slowly came to Dong Zhuo's side, Dong Zhuo was completely dumbfounded this time, without Li Dao and a few people as foreign aid, he relied on his soldiers and horses to fight against Lin Sen, very stressful, Lin Sen's troops supported by several troops, plus an army of nearly 700,000 people, and now it is almost the same as his number, and this is still in the city, limited by the terrain, it is difficult for the army to spread out the battle, especially unfavorable to his cavalry.

What to do, what to do, not to advance, not to retreat, how to be good!

Li Ru's brain is also running rapidly, in fact, Li Ru's resourcefulness is still very superb, but he serves Dong Zhuo, so he is deliberately belittled in the romance novel, in fact, Li Ru has made several good strategies for Dong Zhuo in history, and also came up with strategies to defeat several people who later became famous all over the world, such as Cao Cao, at this time when he was needed.

"Xiangguo!" Li Ru thought for a while, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Now the disadvantage of the geographical advantage is particularly unfavorable to us, I suggest that the lord withdraw the army, return to the palace to hold on, and at the same time leave a few small troops, wandering in the streets and alleys, harassing Lin Sen's army, we can hold on while waiting for the situation to change, if it really doesn't work, we can move out with the abolished emperor Liu Wei and the little emperor Liu Xie, threaten Lin Sen, and force him to withdraw from the army!" ”

After listening to this, Dong Zhuo also felt that he was reasonable, and he had already intended to retreat, so according to Li Ru's strategy, he left a few generals and transferred a few small troops from the Flying Bear Army, all composed of infantry, and hid in Luoyang City at night, and he himself led the army to quickly retreat and return to the palace.

Lin Sen and Cao Cao were very happy to see Dong Zhuo withdraw, this was a staged victory, and they commanded the army to take advantage of the situation to surround the palace and start a siege battle.

Lin Sen transferred 50 wells and chong chariots this time, more catapults and ballistas, and previously captured some of Li Dao and Guo Yan's battalions, plus 200 of each, he didn't want to lose too many lives of his soldiers in the siege battle, so he ignored the urging of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and wholeheartedly attacked with catapults and ballistas and the Divine Arrow Battalion.

Huge stones were thrown onto the city wall by catapults, and spears were also shot at the battlements on the city wall, and the Divine Arrow Battalion shot the defenders on the city wall with its accurate archery skills, as long as someone dared to take the lead, they would definitely be shot, and the defenders did not dare to take the head at all, so they could only hide under the battlements.

The palace is worthy of being a palace, that is, it is strong, the boulders and spears hit the city wall, not even a trace was left, and the palace also had equipment to defend the city, and the ballista and catapult were more powerful than Lin Sen's, under the command of Guo Yan, Niu Fu and other generals, they launched a counterattack against Lin Sen.

In an instant, whether it was the Divine Arrow Battalion or the catapults and ballistas, Lin Sen immediately retreated and quickly withdrew from the attack range.

Yuan Shao said: "General Lin, let's attack it, the palace is close at hand, and the army will attack it, and it will be overcome!" ”

"No!" Lin Sen said: "Our army is less than 700,000, Dong Zhuo has nearly 1 million people, we don't have an advantage in numbers at all, and there are countless garrison materials in the palace, and the casualties of a strong attack will inevitably be too great, so it is really a good idea!" ”

Yuan Shao was a little angry and said, "Then what should I do?" You said! ”

"I've got a plan!" Cao Cao said: "We can besiege the palace and cut off all his backups, we can also confuse Dong Zhuo, create him a false impression that we are constantly adding troops, and cause panic in the palace, I believe that it will not be long before Dong Zhuo will be in chaos, and then we can take advantage of the situation to attack the city!" ”

"Brother Mengde's clever plan!"

Lin Sen clapped his hands and said, Yuan Shao didn't care about Lin Sen and Cao Cao at all, obviously he was still angry, thinking that he Yuan Benchu's family background was illustrious, Yuan's family was four generations and three dukes, and his protégés were all over the world, he was also dignified, with his worldly qualifications, and he was a young man, but now he wants to be wronged and begged all under Lin Sen's account, and he can't do everything, so he can't accept it
