Chapter 201: Night Attack on Luoyang
Tanma saw the thief army approaching from a distance, and hurriedly went back to report the enemy's situation, and Zhang Xiu's army officially stepped into the border of Sili and began the attack on Luoyang.
Cao Cao learned that Wancheng sent troops, and also began to use troops in Xuzhou, and the three armies were vegetarian and swore to go to the army, but it was Zhang Kai, who was under Tao Qian, who saw the wealth and assassinated his father Cao Song. For a while, Xuzhou was panicked, and Tao Qian asked for help everywhere, but no one dared to help at this time, so as not to touch the mold.
But there are still people who dare to break ground on the head of Tai Sui, Yuzhou Assassin Liu Bei led 3,000 troops to help, and Beiping Gongsun Zan sent Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Kai to respond. Although the reinforcements were less than 10,000 people, Cao Cao was jealous, because this meant that the people were not willing, if it was an end of anger and resentment, even if Xuzhou was taken, it would be difficult to maintain peace and stability for a long time, so the war was stalemate.
On the way to the army, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu marched side by side, they still adopted the method of dealing with the evil god Lu Bu back then, knowing that fighting alone in front of the battle would not be beneficial, and everyone came from all over the mountains.
As long as the defenders of Luoyang leave the city, they will fall into a heavy siege and be eaten away by it. If Luoyang retreats to defense, it is easy to be spied on weak points and concentrate forces to break through in one fell swoop.
Zhang Xiu has more than 100,000 people and horses, so he is determined to win Luoyang, but Luoyang City has been patrolled by Chen Gong and Li Yan, and it is basically impregnable, and the arrows and arrows are fully equipped with wood and stones, especially the arrow tower has been added to the head of the city, and a giant crossbow is set up, and the spear is the arrow, which is dedicated to the army.
And Lu Zhi didn't come alone this time, he also brought Huang Zhong's sharpshooter battalion, while Huang Zhong stayed in Hanoi to confront Lu Bu. This trick was concealed by Zhang Xiu's spies, and 20,000 divine shots sneaked in from Beibi Mountain, without leaking the slightest rumor, which is the ultimate power to restrain Xiliang Tieqi.
Xu Huang led the flying bear to ride back and forth, and cooperated with Huaxiong's patrol battalion to intersperse various large and small checkpoints, specifically searching for people who behaved suspiciously.
Zhang Xiu's wishful thinking hit the city wall in the south, even if the east and west gates are sealed, as long as you test out the emptiness of the city's defense, you can seize the city head in an instant with a strong attack on the well. Jia Xu built thirty wells before he came, which could be used after simple assembly, which was also a reassurance that they dared to invade Luoyang.
The battle was fierce and full of corpses.
The three consecutive days of strong attack made Zhang Xiu's army seriously damaged, Luoyang's bow and arrows were put in a desperate place, harvested nearly thirty percent of the foot soldiers, and waited until the well was close to the city wall, and encountered the spear battalion's thorns, the well was also poured with boiling oil and burned more than a dozen cars, but did not take the slightest advantage, the whole Luoyang is like a hedgehog curled up, and there are spikes as far as the eye can see, so that people have nowhere to start.
"Is there a good strategy for the military advisor? Now that the battle damage has exceeded forty percent, if we blindly attack, it will only increase the casualties, and the morale is low, and I am afraid that there will be soldiers fleeing at night. ”
In order to spy on the gaps in Luoyang's defense, Zhang Xiu first lost most of the spies, and now he has lost nearly 40,000 horses. Although it is said that there are no immortals in war, it is indeed too heavy, and he has not suffered such a defeat since he came out of the mountain.
"The west of the city is guarded by Li Yan, this person is the first general under the command of Huangfu Song, experienced in a hundred battles, and has a true heritage, although his reputation is not obvious, but he is the person who needs to be guarded against the most. The east of the city is guarded by Chen Palace, this person is a scholar, and he has no power to tie the chicken, but there is a tiger general Dian Wei to serve around him, and a pair of halberds come and go to conflict. ”
Jia Xu was deducing the battle situation with his eyes closed, and in the past few days, he has been sending information constantly, and he has learned about the main general of the Luoyang garrison and the deployment of men, and he has begun to have a more comprehensive understanding.
Suddenly, Jia Xu opened his eyes and pointed his finger at the south of the city, which is a direction that has not been explored so far, every time he can climb to the top of the city, but he can't hold on for long, but he has never seen who the main general of the city is.
"The south of the city has set up the Lu character flag, but I have not heard of the famous generals of the Lu character generation in the state, and there have been several attempts to enter the city in the past few days, which shows that the defense is indeed negligent, and the city should be broken here."
Zhang Xiu also became solemn, there is indeed no news from the south of the city, it seems to be a huge mouth of the abyss, and a lot of people have broken their hands, but they have not seen a splash.
"There is no trace of Xu Huang and Hua Xiong who were stationed in Luoyang, and there should be six thousand iron horsemen, all wearing heavy armor, raiding and plundering the formation, such as chopping melons and vegetables, which should not be underestimated."
Jia Xu knew about this, Xu Huang's heavy armor came from the Shangjun Jian Shuo in the West Garden, but he invested a lot of financial and material resources back then, but in the end he let Huangfu Biao pick up a big bargain.
"Today, you might as well attack the south of the city at night, and the general will go to the east gate at night, and his subordinates will go to the west gate, all of which will bluff, so that General Hu can lead the army quietly to the south of the city!"
"This is a plan to attack the west!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xiu immediately quit the account and went to Hu Che'er to deploy troops.
