Zhuang Shaoyou commanded less than 10,000 horses, only more than 1,000 people stayed in the south of the city and Rongfu, and the remaining 8,000 horsemen and horsemen were divided into two roads, 2,000 people and horses went straight to the palace, and 1,000 people and horses on the west road came to the west gate with the most elite weapons and equipment.

Although Zhuang Shaoyou was very angry, he was not carried away by the anger, and asked Zhou Tian to block the waterway just in case, blocking the direction of the retreat of the reinforcements and Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao, the passage west of Luoyang was just blocked by Dong Zhuo in the West Garden, and the south was Zhuang Shaoyou's territory, if Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao wanted to retreat, they would definitely go north and east, but judging from the current situation, the two would not retreat immediately no matter what, so there was plenty of time!

Zhuang Shaoyou's plan is relatively simple, taking advantage of the main force of Yuan Shaojun's army, mobilizing people and horses to take Luoyang, and controlling the entire Luoyang in their own hands, the road army of 2,000 men and horses is responsible for attacking the palace and the north gate, and then divide the troops to take the east gate, and the west gate must be the focus of Yuan Shao's defense, so Zhuang Shaoyou personally led a thousand of the most elite men and horses to attack, as long as the control of Luoyang, it is equivalent to cutting off their supplies, and when they find out that something is wrong, the Liaonan Navy Division has blocked the Yellow River and the Luoshui waterway, and it is not impossible for them to be completely trapped in Sili!

This plan is good, the only drawback is that Zhuang Shaoyou's troops at hand are too thin, and the mobility is enough, there is more than enough to defend the city, and the field battle is insufficient, especially the number of cavalry in Ding Yuan's army is extremely large, even if you can't fight, you can't stop if you want to escape, it's really a headache, but it doesn't matter, Zhuang Shaoyou's appetite is not so big, Ding Yuan will hand it over to Dong Zhuo to deal with, Zhuang Shaoyou's purpose is only one, kill Yuan Shao!

Tian Feng and Xun You were very helpless, this operation was planned by the general, and with the wisdom of the two, they could naturally quickly judge the general's intentions, but the two of them were deeply worried about this, killing Yuan Shao was not a trivial matter! The implication is too wide! It is likely that he will be forced to oppose the entire Yuan family.

Yuan Shao originally had less than 20,000 horses in his hands, but three days ago in the West Garden was surrounded and beaten by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, many soldiers were injured, and the losses were not small, calculating that there were only 18,000 soldiers available at hand, and many horses were also divided to guard the three city gates and the palace in the northwest and east, so this raid on Dong Zhuo Yuan Shao could only mobilize 12,000 men and horses, the north gate and the east gate were only left with 500 people each, the palace defenders were 1,000, and the west gate guards were 1,000, and they were not elite, All the most elite forces were mobilized to attack Dong Zhuo in the West Garden, and the city's defenses were very empty.

Originally, according to Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan's plan, Zhuang Shaoyou was restrained by refugees in the south of the city, and for the sake of insurance, he also sent 3,000 men and horses to attack Rongfu, echoing with the refugees in the north and south, so that Zhuang Shaoyou was in a hurry, if he was lucky enough, the hundreds of thousands of refugees in the south of the city alone would be enough for Zhuang Shaoyou to drink a pot! Coupled with the sneak attack troops, it is absolutely foolproof!

According to the original plan, even if Zhuang Shaoyou can finally pacify the refugees, it will take a lot of effort, maybe he will have to mobilize a large army to defend the south of the city and join the refugees, which is also a very ideal result, and Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan have enough time and energy to defeat Dong Zhuo.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao still underestimated the aspirations of the people and underestimated Zhuang Shaoyou's prestige in the hearts of refugees! Zhuang Shaoyou did not mobilize the people at all, let alone have a conflict with the refugees, he settled the poisoning case alone, and exposed Yuan Shao's conspiracy, which made the refugees hate Yuan Shao to the core, and their gratitude to Zhuang Shaoyou was even higher.

There is no need to kill Dong Zhuo, as long as the emperor and the queen mother are snatched, even if they win, and then support the emperor with the strength of the two armies, coerce the heavens to order the princes, and then design to kill Ding Yuan and take over his army.

It's a pity that the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, the plan did not change quickly, and there were two great mistakes in a row, the original plan failed, Xiyuan failed to attack Dong Zhuo, and Zhuang Shaoyou actually settled the trouble so quickly and launched a counterattack.

Zhuang Shaoyou and Yuan Shao led the army to the west gate of Luoyang almost at the same time, and Ding Yuanjun was responsible for containing Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was temporarily unable to counterattack after suffering two losses in a row, so he could only defend in the West Garden and prepare for another attack.

Zhuang Shaoyou and Yuan Shao both frowned slightly, they couldn't imagine that each other's movements were so fast! A fire is inevitable! Le Jin was sent by Zhuang Shaoyou to take the palace, the north gate and the east gate, while the west gate was personally commanded by Zhuang Shaoyou.

"Spearmen in front and crossbowmen in the rear to defend the formation! Ballista array! ”

Thousands of men and horses were arranged in echelons, with 1,000 pikemen at the front, 3,000 crossbowmen in between, and crossbow carts at the end, and quickly began to deploy more than 100 steps away from the west city gate.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao at the head of the city hurriedly ordered: "Send five thousand men and horses to attack!" Don't let the enemy set up a formation! ”

The last battle in the palace, Zhuang Shaoyou's demonstrative several rounds of volleys, frightened the gall of Yuan Shaojun, afterwards the palace gate and the city wall of the large and small crossbow arrows cleaned up for two days and two nights to complete, after cleaning, the entire palace gate has been riddled with holes, like a hornet's nest, very terrifying!

All the soldiers who participated in that battle still have lingering palpitations, Yuan Shao is also angry, tonight is going to fight with Zhuang Shao's guerrilla army, I am panicked in my heart, Luoyang as the capital of course has heavy weapons, but Luoyang, which has not fought for more than a hundred years, has long been abandoned for a long time, and the only few remaining heavy bed crossbows are also fixed at the head of the city, facing outward and not facing inward! I can't turn it around in a short time.

Seeing that Zhuang Shaogu's army began to set up a formation, Yuan Shao didn't think about it, and quickly ordered to take the initiative to attack, once Zhuang Shaogu's army lined up in formation, don't want the West City Gate! There are not many people in the palace and the north gate, the main force is here, if it is blocked outside Luoyang City, the trouble is not ordinary!

Seeing that Yuan Shaojun couldn't wait to kill him, there were thousands of people, Zhuang Shaoyou snorted coldly: "The ballista doesn't have to be arrayed, just aim at the direction of the enemy and launch it in situ!" The pikemen and crossbowmen continue to line up! ”

With Zhuang Shaoyou's order, the rear of more than 500 ballistas all began to fire one after another, because Yuan Shaojun from the city gate to kill, the number of people is relatively concentrated, naturally become a live target, although the disorderly shooting effect is not as great as the array, but the lethality is still amazing, after the more than 500 ballistas have been launched one after another, Yuan Shaojun has been killed and wounded, the psychological shadow of the battle of the West Park has reappeared, and they have retreated.

Yuan Shao was furious when he saw this, and gave a death order to the captain under his command, no matter what, he had to rush up and engage in hand-to-hand combat, otherwise he would be more and less lucky tonight! The captain had no choice but to organize the Overseer to kill people, but those soldiers were also angry, the fear of the commander was far less than the fear of the ballista, under the continuous killing of the Overseer, the surviving more than 3,000 soldiers finally began to fight back like ignited explosive barrels, and beat the Overseer and the captain to death.

Yuan Shao, who was on the tower of the city, was furious when he saw this, this group of ants dared to rebel! Sin is unforgivable! He decisively ordered the city gates to be closed, and let the crossbowmen in the city shoot them with arrows.

As soon as the city gate was closed, this group of infantry without any siege equipment could escape in five ways, and after paying the price of thousands of lives, the remaining more than 2,000 people could only retreat in the direction of Zhuang Shaoyou.

Yuan Shao on the city tower was triumphant: "Mole ant, don't give some color to see if you think this general is easy to fool?" ”

Yuan Shao's smug smile looked in the eyes of the generals beside him, but it was so hideous, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, it was too ruthless! Compared with He Jin, he is simply a small thing, and He Jin easily does not punish his descendants, but is very protective of the calf. This mother's raising is really not kissing!

Yuan Shao didn't know that his actions made the already not very strong cohesion even more discrete, and this group of He Jin's old subordinates generally had a disoptimistic attitude towards Yuan Shao, especially Yuan Shao's harsh treatment of his subordinates, but they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

The less than 2,000 routed soldiers stopped after they got out of Yuan Shao's range, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and they stopped in the middle of the battlefield, as if Zhuang Shaoyou and Yuan Shao were sandwiching the routed soldiers.

Zhuang Shaoyou hesitated, but still restrained his men to stop shooting, but be ready, let the ballista hurry up to load the crossbow arrows, and the pikemen and crossbowmen were on guard and ready to fight at any time.

After a while, the group of routs pushed out a big man, seeing that the equipment seemed to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard, followed by several centurions, while walking slowly towards Zhuang Shaoyou, he shouted: "General Zhuang don't let go of arrows!" We surrender! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou instructed his subordinates: "Stop firing arrows and let them come!" ”

The thousand-commander and a few centurions walked towards Zhuang Shao's army nervously, and Yuan Shao, who was on the city tower, was furious when he saw this, and ordered: "Bastard! Dare to surrender to the enemy army! It's another group of white-eyed wolves that can't be raised! Pass my orders! Send 3,000 crossbowmen down and shoot them! In any case, they can't be allowed to surrender Zhuang Shaoyou! Those who dare to betray this general will be killed! ”

However, the generals around him did not move, they all stared at Yuan Shao silently, and Yuan Shao didn't know it, Chun Yuqiong on the side saw that the momentum was not right, and whispered a few words in Yuan Shao's ear, Yuan Shao just wanted to be angry, but he instantly reined in, stepped forward, stood on the city gate tower, and shouted below:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the city! Have you forgotten the enmity of General Ho? What is the difference between the act of defecting to the enemy and the pursuit of glory by the seller? It will be despised by all the people of the world! General Ben advises you to wake up quickly, don't make mistakes! ”

When the two thousand defeated soldiers heard this, they immediately became agitated, but they were still indignant at Yuan Shao's ruthless cruel methods just now, Zhuang Shaoyou heard Yuan Shao's shouting, and he was also angry, and he came out of the crowd and shouted:

"Yuan Benchu! You are the most shameless villain in the world! He Jin's death was clearly a conspiracy between you and the Ten Standing Attendants, and afterwards in the name of revenge, you killed the Ten Standing Attendants to kill the mouth, and the means were extremely despicable! Thousands of people in the south of the city have also died under your conspiracy, and General Ben will do the right thing for heaven today and kill you, a shameless villain who is unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial! ”

When Yuan Shao on the city tower heard this, he was immediately furious and retorted: "Zhuang Shaoyou! General He is clearly the one who conspired with you and the Ten Standing Servants to kill him, and he still wants to blame General Ben! You're the shameless villain! The whole army listened to the order, why is the general's revenge at this time! All the army is attacking! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou snorted coldly: "Yuan Benchu, people are doing it, the sky is watching!" Good and evil are rewarded! Listen up, everyone! Whoever kills Yuan Shao will be rewarded with 50 million! The reward for the captor is 100 million! What General Ben has said, there is never a mistake left uncounted! He Jinjun's soldiers, your old master was killed by Yuan Shao, a despicable villain, you are just a tool that can be used by his hands, once you lose your use value, he will abandon you mercilessly! ”
