Chapter 417: Hu Qi Goes South

There was a thick smell floating in the air.

A large number of Hu cavalry had already lined up north of the Yellow River and began to advance slowly, crossing the river under the command of Yan Rou and Cao Xiu.

Compared with the bitter cold northland, everything in the Central Plains is so beautiful.

There are treasures everywhere here, and all things are treasures that have never been found outside the city.

Now that they're here, they don't want to leave!

Yan Rou, the general of Duliao, was very worried and entangled along the way.

He didn't know if he was right or wrong to do so.

He was captured by the Hu people back then, and he knew their horror and ferocity, if they were allowed to occupy the Central Plains, this land would be destroyed by an unprecedented blow, and it was possible that everything he was familiar with would be completely destroyed, and when people mentioned him, they would definitely point their noses and scold the culprit who led the wolf into the house.

But along the way, he kept telling himself that he had to do it.

It's loyalty.

Yan Rou was greatly favored by Cao Cao, and was respected by Cao Pi as a big brother.

Now that Great Wei has reached the last moment, it is impossible to save this already stormy dynasty by other methods.

This is the last chance to fight, no matter how bad the result is, at least it can prove that Yan Rou has worked hard.

Cao Xiu was full of ambition.

He was ordered to lead the elite soldiers to cross the river as the vanguard, and the vanguard came with the news that the enemy's front had just arrived at the foot of Luoyang City.

Cao Xiu judged that the main force of the enemy army had definitely not arrived this time, and this was just an opportunity to show his skills.

"Sons, follow me ......" Cao Xiu subconsciously prepared to call for an attack, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that none of the people around him were his own.

The Wuhuan cavalry was like a silent wall, and Cao Xiu felt a little like a man on his back for the first time.

"Attack, destroy the traitor!"

He roared loudly, but it was more like cheering himself up.

The interpreter conveyed Cao Xiu's order to the Wuhuan generals, and these silent cavalry slowly lined up, except for heavy breathing and the occasional snort of the war horses, there was no other sound in the cavalry formation of thousands of people.

Cao Xiu looked at these soldiers and horses silently, and his heart was slightly desolate.

For many years, he has been following Cao Pi's side, and has always longed for a battle to kill the enemy, and with his hot-blooded colleagues, he will fight a bloody road for the country and prove his name.

But the first time he really went into battle to supervise and lead an army, he actually led an elite army composed entirely of foreign races.

This time, the Cao family completely abandoned the Central Plains clan that followed them before, and I don't know how the history books will evaluate me in the future.

Guan Ping knew that if these Qianghu elite soldiers crossed the river, they might not be opponents in a big battle near Luoyang.

The only way now is to prevent them from crossing the river, and to break through Luoyang before they can assemble.

Cao Pi will not surrender, Guan Ping decided to personally lead the army to attack the city, and the heavy task of intercepting the Hu people, he chose to hand it over to Ma Chao!

"General Ma has been loyal and good for generations, and he will definitely not disappoint the Han!

Now that the thieves have been killed by the Yellow River, he asked General Ma to try his best to stop them, and never let them approach Luoyang. โ€

Ma Chao looked at the young man in front of him expressionlessly, and the scene of the Battle of Chang'an appeared in front of him again.

At that time, Ma Chao was full of spirits, and he felt that he had a large army in his hands and could dive the world's heroes at will.

didn't expect the stars to change, and now he actually came here to fight to defend the land of the Han Dynasty.

"Leave it to me." Ma Chao said suddenly, "It's just a thief, why worry about it." However, Luoyang is heavily guarded, and General Guan is asked to be careful. โ€

The pride of the past seems to have returned to Ma Chao at this moment.

After speaking, he walked out of the military tent without looking back, put his hand in his mouth and blew loudly.

In the end, less than 200 Liangzhou soldiers who followed him gathered from all directions, and Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao with excitement in his eyes.

"Brother!"

"Hit the name of my Ma Chao! Whoever dares to be the enemy of my Ma Chao will kill them all! โ€

ยท

Drumming.

Blow the horn.

Guan Ping personally led the main force of the front to begin the siege.

Huo Jun put on armor and held a sword, and climbed towards the city of Luoyang in the roar that shook the sky.

A large flag fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers in Luoyang City looked at the huge word "Huo", and their hearts were all frightened.

Not only was it a frontal fierce attack, Guan Ping also organized a group of old men from the Central Plains.

They helped the old and the young, calling out the names of the people in the city's hands outside the city, telling them to lay down their arms as soon as possible.

Not everyone is willing to die with the Cao family.

Most of the key positions in the city are in the hands of the clan, seeing that the siege has begun, there are many old people outside the city to come and surrender, no one is willing to let go of the fight, and even began to hide in the city, even Cao Pi's guards are mostly scattered.

Now Xiahou Shang, Zhu Shuo and others are Cao Pi's last support.

As die-hard loyalists, they know what it means to retreat here.

Everything about them has long been tightly bound to the Cao family, even if it is wiped out, they will not hesitate to do it now.

As the capital city selected by the Great Wei, Cao Pi had been building it since he was not yet emperor.

Later, the battle was not ideal, and a large number of weapons and countless arrows and armor were arranged in the city early.

There was chaos in the city, but the Wei army was still able to launch an effective counterattack at the head of the city.

Xiahou Shang personally commanded the release of arrows, and Zhu Shuo even dared to open the city gate and lead the army to collide with the Han army besieging the city.

Those who represent the Han will never end well.

Cao Pi in the palace was waiting for the news, and he was also arranging a final way out for himself.

The way out, of course, is not running.

With Cao Pi's arrogant temperament, even if the jade is burned, it is impossible to surrender to the enemy anyway.

Outside shouting about death, he has even asked people to start smashing everything in the palace, especially piling up all the wooden utensils, once the situation is unfavorable, he will set fire to himself with his own hands, so that everything will return to dust.

Not only him, but his concubines and children all remained in the palace.

Although Empress Zhen cried and begged Cao Pi to let their sons go, Cao Pi's heart was like a stone and she fiercely refused this order.

There are no eggs under the nest......

He can finally understand this story now.

Hey, do you want my Cao Pi's head to be treasured by your Han family like Wang Mang?

It's not that easy!

The battle was as Cao Pi expected, and it was very unsmooth.

The defenders in the city had little fighting spirit, although their number far exceeded the soldiers besieging the city outside the city, but under the call of the people outside the city, no matter how much Xiahou Shang urged, they only pretended to deal with it.

The dense rain of arrows at the head of the city continued for a moment, but the accuracy was ridiculously poor.

Huo Jun also felt that the defenders in the city had no fighting spirit, he looked at where Xiahou Shang was, asked the soldiers to push the ladder forward, and personally climbed up the huge wooden ladder, and soon ran to the top of the city!

"Xiahou is not yet descending, let alone when!"

As soon as Huo Jun jumped on the head of the city and stood still, he couldn't help but say that he slashed over, Xiahou Shang had already noticed that Huo Jun was climbing towards him, he pretended to continue to fight against other soldiers who were climbing towards the city, but he had already taken precautions, seeing Huo Jun rushing to him, Xiahou Shang threw his left hand, and the tiger talisman that had been hanging on his waist was thrown out by him and smashed on Huo Jun's face.

"Ahh Huo Jun never expected that Xiahou Shang would actually use this thing to throw himself, this time he was hit in the head, he exclaimed in pain, and the world was spinning in front of him.

Seizing the moment when Huo Jun was distracted, Xiahou Shang roared angrily, jumped up directly, raised the steel knife in his hand above his head, and slashed down towards Huo Jun!

Huo Jun was smashed in a whirlwind, and by the time he reacted, the blade had already slashed in front of him.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Huo Jun broke out in a cold sweat.

But at this moment, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes.

I saw a heavy and sharp steel knife that cracked from nowhere, easily covering Xiahou Shang's knife momentum, and then gently picked it back, and easily defused Xiahou Shangzhi's inevitable knife when he landed.

Xiahou Shang retreated again and again, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was first surprised, and then felt an unspeakable powerlessness.

"Yunshan, you're here too!"

Guan Ping, as the commander of the whole army, saw Huo Jun charging, and also climbed directly with the whole army, standing firmly on the head of the city, and stopped Xiahou Shang's knife at the last moment.

The commander of the whole army left his soldiers and went to the city in person?

Yours is it!

Xiahou Shang looked at Guan Ping, who was standing solemnly with a knife, and felt more and more that it was difficult to look directly at the newborn rising sun.

It was this young man who led the elite soldiers to be invincible, which made the Cao family think that it was okay to be the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

But it was his counterattack that caused the Cao family's country to collapse, and now it has fallen into an irreversible position.

The resentment and hatred made Xiahou Shang's eyes covered with a layer of blood mist, he looked at Guan Ping in front of him, and sneered:

"The generals will listen to the order and charge with Ben to kill this thief! The one who gets this head, the general! โ€
