Chapter 606 Take Luoyang 12
The obstacles of the night greatly weakened the attack of the defenders, and it was difficult to find the enemy. However, in the last battle, I couldn't care so much. If I had something to use, I could use all of them. The door panels and stones collected were thrown down by the soldiers.
In the middle of the night, the battle has entered a white heat, and Cao Ren has put almost all his troops into the city to resist the Xiliang army. In the last battle, the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army made the private soldiers of the family a little scared. They fought on only a cavity of blood without strict training. It's okay to have someone to supervise during the day. Under such circumstances, some private soldiers even hide directly under the city shacks. Anyway, the bows and arrows of the Xiliang Army will not greet them. Besides, it is not a big deal that there is a lack of one person on the battlefield.
After Cao Ren killed three slippery soldiers, the situation eased. Cao Ren's personal guards acted as a law enforcement team and kept walking on the battlefield. All soldiers who retreated were dealt with severely.
The wind roared, and 500 soldiers jumped down from a high place. Facing the strong wind, they grasped the things in their hands tightly. Before leaving, the Liang King they worshipped told them that as long as they grasped this thing tightly and slowly controlled it, they could reach Luyang City.
The first time I use such a thing, it is inevitable that I am a little afraid. Even the soldiers in the army are no exception. The operation method is very simple. The soldiers have already memorize it. When they control it in person, they find it difficult, especially in the air, and they will be nervous involuntarily.
Only 200 of the 500 soldiers finally succeeded in falling to Luoyang City, and the remaining 300 did not appear for some reason. They may have fallen outside the city or may have fallen to death. All kinds of reasons are not what they have to consider.
The soldiers who landed quickly hid themselves. At this time, it was really a critical moment for both sides to attack and defend. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be patrol teams in the city, but the Cao Jun costumes on their bodies gave them great convenience. As long as they do not reveal too many flaws, they will not cause suspicion.
A quarter of an hour later, soldiers who were still not patrolling passed by, and 200 soldiers gradually gathered in the direction of the gate.
"Let's go." In the secret room, under Su Shuang's order, 300 people in black went out. It was impossible for Su Shuang to train soldiers in the city. These people in black were loyal, but their combat effectiveness was limited, which was also the reason why Jia Rong sent soldiers into the city again.
Su Shuang has been in Luyang for so long. Naturally, he also has his own network. Take the city defense soldiers recruited by Cao Ren as an example. Some of the private soldiers of the family are standing on the same line as Su Shuang. At the critical moment, not to mention being able to turn against each other, but to hide, they can control the situation to a certain extent.
Cao Ren doesn't want the Xiliang army to attack the city, which does not mean that other people don't want to. How many merchants have received from the Xiliang army, and the merchants in Luoyang are no exception. What they get under the command of Cao's army is far less than that of the Xiliang army. They will definitely not work for Cao's army. Maybe when the Xiliang army organizes a water army, There are many merchants in the city who donate money.
Before the soldiers in charge of guarding the Xianlian Pavilion could react, they were submerged in a dark shadow by the men in black, leaving only bursts of screams.
This night is doomed to be unable to calm down. After Su Shuang and 300 Xiliang soldiers gathered, they continued to create chaos in the city. The flames in the city reduced the momentum of the defenders by three points. At the most critical moment, a fire suddenly ignited in the city, as long as it was Some experienced soldiers all know that something happened in the city.
Seeing this, Cao Ren constantly sent a large number of cavalry to the place of the accident. As long as the soldiers could be used, all of them were used. Combined with what happened in the city and the movement of the Western Liang army outside the city, it gave him a very bad feeling, "The last battle?" What does it mean? Is the Xiliang army confident that it can capture Luoyang tonight? "With the rebels in the city?" Cao Ren is very puzzled.
Two hundred Cao soldiers soon approached the gate in a chaotic situation. In the face of the sudden action of the robe, Cao's army was killed and injured. After 200 soldiers killed all the soldiers at the gate, they sent people to guard outside and began to put down the suspension bridge.
Although the 300 dead men were strong-willed, they did not hesitate to risk their lives in order. After all, their strength was limited. Under the army sent by Cao Ren, they were soon defeated one by one.
The suspension bridge put down the unique voice, and the Cao soldiers in the city were alert at the first time and hurriedly informed Cao Ren.
The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and hundreds of Xiliang troops wearing Cao's clothes were resisting the pressure from the defenders until the gate was fully opened.
Seeing this, Lv Bu Ma Chao no longer hesitated. He was the first to kill in Luyang City.
Seeing the cavalry of the Xiliang Army attacking the city, Cao Ren organized soldiers to block the siege soldiers and led his own guards to rush to the city to prepare for the final fight. Up to now, the faces of the defenders are very heavy.
A trace of fish belly turned white in the east. When the vanguard general Xia Hou Dun led the vanguard army to rush outside the city, the flag of the Western Liang Army had already flown on the city. All the gates were tightly closed. Looking at the corpses of the company of soldiers outside the city, he did not have time to clean up, and he knew that he had come a step too late.
With a long sigh, Xiahou Dun ordered the cavalry to convey the news to the rear army.
Cao Ren, dragged by the deputy general, escaped from Luyang, joined with Cao Jun, and reported what happened in the city one by one.
After listening to Cao Cao's gloomy face, he snorted coldly and said, "You are also a warlord. Don't you know the importance of the city gate?"
Cao Ren fell to the ground and cried bitterly, "The humble position is not talented. Please punish the Lord and behead the inferior position to comfort the three armies."
"Hmm, take him down." Cao Cao waved his hand with a worried face. Cao Ren is a general in the army. He has made great contributions to the army for many years, and it is even more remarkable to do things for others.
When the sun rose, Jia Rong climbed the wall and looked at the vast Cao army outside the city. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Meng De, Meng De, I'd better be one step ahead of you and take off Luoyang."
Cao Cao said, "Zhiyuan, you dare to go out of the city to answer."
The messenger quickly brought the words to the city.
After hearing this, Jia Rong showed a sneer on his face and said, "Why don't you dare?"
"Lord, there are 100,000 people in Cao's army. After a series of wars, our army is careful of fraud." Guo Jia persuaded.
"Feng filial piety, Cao's army also came from afar. If they dare to make a different move, our cavalry will make them regret coming to the city." Jia Rongdao.
"Zilong ordered a thousand cavalry to go with me." Jia Rong turned around and walked down the wall.
"The whole army is on alert." Guo Jia stared vigilantly at Cao Jun outside the city and ordered.
"Meng De, it's been more than a year since I said goodbye. How have you been recently?" Jia Rong asked with a smile.
He is surrounded by Zhao Yun, a fierce general, and Cao Cao is also surrounded by Dian Wei. The generals of both sides naturally look at each other angrily, but because the two generals are talking, they can't do it without authorization. After the battle of Luoyang, the Liangzi of the two sides is completely knotted. After meeting in the future, it will inevitably be a fierce battle.
"Zhiyuan, with you in Luoyang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep and eat for my brother in the future." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Jia Rong couldn't help admiring Cao Cao Cao's heart. Even if he was captured by the enemy's important city, he would definitely not be so frank. I'm afraid he had already gritted his teeth and said, looking like he couldn't wait to eat the other party raw.
"Brother Meng De, I also have no choice but to. There are more than 100,000 brothers waiting to eat. If they don't go to the army, they don't even have the money to eat. Even if Brother Meng De gave it to me, it will be rewarded in the future." Jia Rong said with a smile.
Cao Cao's smiling face twitched a few times. The guard of Weishuiguan was captured by the Xiliang army. With Jia Rong's character, if he wanted to redeem it, he would definitely pay a price. Xia Houyuan, the general of Hulao guan, was one of the military generals valued by Cao Cao and was also killed by the Xiliang army. He lost two generals in a row, and the soldiers were close. Forty thousand, his mood has long been so angry that he can't get over, but it was Cao Cao who took things seriously that he had such a good face to talk to Jia Rong.
"Zhiyuan's behavior is remembered in my brother's heart. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely return it twice." Cao Cao said.
"I'm very happy. I hope that Meng De can go to Chang'an for tea and drink when he is free. Isn't it a pleasure for you and my two brothers to drink and chat together?" Jia Rongdao.
"Yanzhou also welcomes Zhiyuan at any time. Let's not talk about the gossip. There are still important things to deal with in my brother's family, so I won't accompany him." Cao Cao arched his hand and patted his horse away.
"Lord, is this Cao Mengde?" Zhao Yun doubted.
"That's right, what's wrong?" Jia Rong looked sideways at Zhao Yun.
"Compared with the master, it is much worse, and his appearance is also a little obscene, which is comparable to Liu Si." Zhao Yun commented on his feet.
Jia Rong almost laughed. I don't know if Cao Cao will turn his head around when he hears Zhao Yun's evaluation of him. Height has always been Cao Cao's weakness.
"Cough, Zilong, you can't judge people by appearance." Jia Rong scolded.
Jia Rong returned to Luyang safe and sound, and Guo Jia's heart was relaxed. Although he knew that Jia Rong and Cao Cao were old friends, it was inevitable that Cao Cao would do something extreme in anger. Jia Rong's importance to the Xiliang Army was self-evident.
"Lord, now Cao Jun is under the city of Luyang. Why don't you take this opportunity to cut off their way back and leave 100,000 Cao troops outside Luoyang City, then Cao Jun..." Guo Jia suggested.
Jia Rong shook his head slightly and said, "Feng Xiao, our army is currently losing troops and soldiers. It is reluctant to attack Lu Yang before Cao Cao and then fight with Cao. It is inevitable that it will hurt our army. It is really unfavorable for our army. We can't take advantage of the princes of the Central Plains. There are many dead soldiers. The pension work must be done well, and there should be no slack. Slack."
"Regretions that Cao Cao lost Lu Yang, he will never fight with our army in a short period of time. Yuan Shao has repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, as well as Liu Biao and others. Cao Cao's first task is to defeat them all. For Luoyang, most of them take precautions."
