I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 207
Suddenly, on both sides of the city gate, several bed crossbows were pushed out with a cold light, and hundreds of crossbow arrows were aimed at the Song Xian rebels at the city gate.

Lu Bu rushed forward and shouted angrily: "Song Xian is such a capricious villain. It was a waste of my trusting you all the time. I didn't expect you to surrender Cao thief. Come, shoot arrows, and kill without mercy!"

Song Xian saw that Lv Bu had been prepared long ago, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, "Could it be that I have been exposed? How is this possible." Song Xian thought desperately.

Lu Bu didn't show mercy, he didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him, so he made a decisive decision and immediately ordered "shoot the arrow...".

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu>

The crossbow bolts hit the enemy densely and heavily. At such a short distance, the traitor was unable to parry at all. The blood flowed like a river, and his death was miserable. Song Xian was also hit in the chest by several huge crossbow arrows, and died.

The surviving enemies were about to escape from the city gate when they saw this, but Lu Bu didn't give it a chance, and another round of crossbow arrows shot out, and almost instantly, the entire army of more than a thousand rebels was wiped out.

Immediately, the soldiers under Lu Bu's command swarmed towards the city gate, pushing the heavy city gate together, and the suspension bridge was slowly rising.

However, Cao Hong didn't notice the abnormality at first. He thought that Song Xian was fighting the enemy to the death just now, so he killed without any hesitation, fantasizing about taking Luoyang and making the first contribution.

When Cao Hong led the charge to the front, he realized that the gate was slowly closing. Just when he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, thousands of crossbowmen and a huge bed crossbow suddenly appeared on the top of the city.

"No, there's an ambush, get out!" Cao Hong shouted hurriedly after realizing that something was wrong.

At this time, Cao Hong finally realized that Song Xian's fraudulent opening of the city gate was discovered by the enemy, and his plan to attack Luoyang fell short. In order to avoid the greatest loss, Cao Hong decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Thousands of crossbowmen appeared at the top of the city, and there were also huge bed crossbows. After the defender gave an order, thousands of arrows were fired at the enemy trying to break in densely.

Cao Jun, who had already entered the city, had no time to retreat in a short time, and was hit head-on. Countless sharp arrows flew towards them with a huge sound of sharp gold, and a large number of Cao Jun fell off their horses, and there was a sudden chaos.

"Ah..." Cao Hong was shot in the left arm when he was unprepared, and hurriedly retreated under the cover of his subordinates.

Cao Jun lost at least 4000 people in this battle, and most of them died under the crossbow of Bingzhou. It can be said that the loss was heavy. Even Cao Hong was injured and could not swing his arms for a short time.

This undoubtedly poured cold water on Cao Cao and others who thought they were sure of winning.

Seeing Cao Hong kneeling in the hall with a face of shame, Cao Cao didn't get angry. Instead, he said uncharacteristically, "I have lost this battle. I have underestimated the enemy. It is not the crime of the general fighting. Get up quickly." He helped him up, and continued with a serious face: "Everyone, don't be arrogant and careless. A centipede is dead but not stiff. At this moment, we need a hundred times more energy and go all out."

"Come on, send an order immediately, the army will attack and surround Luoyang City." Cao Cao ordered decisively.

"No! The last general (subordinate) will obey the general's order." Everyone echoed.

Although Cao Cao's losses are not small, he still has an army of 15. He is powerful and powerful, and he is attacking Luoyang. Maybe he really has a chance to win it quickly.Therefore, Cao Cao did not delay at all, and immediately rushed to Luoyang.

…………

Cao Cao's 15-strong army rushed towards Luoyang in a mighty manner, but after all, the army was huge, and it took some time to march and set up the formation. During the march of the army, the 2-strong army led by Cheng Lian entered Luoyang first.

With the addition of Cheng Lian's 4 troops, the number of troops in Luoyang City reached more than [-] at once, and the ability to defend the city has been strengthened a lot.

However, just after Cheng Lian's army entered the city, the [-] army led by Cao Ren also attacked Luoyang from the northwest.Although it was half a step late, Cao Ren's army blocked Li Shimin's westward retreat at once, and formed a pincer attack from east to west with the main force of Cao army.

As a result, the strength of Cao's army has reached a terrifying 18.

Although Cao Ren's army was delayed by the Bingzhou Army for a long time, and did not complete the strategic intention that Cao Cao had given them to raid Luoyang in time, there were mistakes.

After Cao Cao broke through the Hulao Pass, Cao Ren came from behind and drove a nail into the Bingzhou Army first.

The situation turned sharply.

The reason why Cao Ren was able to get rid of Wei Xu's pursuit naturally benefited from Sima Yi's golden cicada's plan to escape.Although Sima Yi grew up in Hanoi, in fact, he often travels between Sili and is very familiar with the situation of Sili.

With his help, Cao Jun sneaked out from the Mengjin camp, took a small road and left Mengjin, leaving only Cao Zhen leading 1000 cavalry to cover their whereabouts. Although there were only more than [-] tiger and leopard cavalry left, their combat power was still considerable. watch for.

Later, Wei Xu also found out that he was being tricked by others, and immediately rushed to fight Cao Zhen in a fit of embarrassment. Although Wei Xu had more troops than Cao Zhen, he was not an opponent. battlefield.

As a last resort, they could only withdraw towards Luoyang.

…………

At this time, Li Shimin's face was also serious. Luoyang has become an isolated city, surrounded by nearly 20 troops outside, and he only has more than 4 troops, and his strength is really stretched. Unpredictable.

At this time, Jia Xu said with the same serious expression: "My lord, I can only ask General Guan and General Zhao Yun to speed up and lead the army to help. Otherwise, Luoyang will be difficult to defend in the long run, and our army will be in danger."

Li Shimin shook his head and said decisively: "Although our army is besieged in Luoyang, we still have [-] troops. It is impossible for Cao Jun to take it in a short time. We must defend Luoyang and provide opportunities for the army to encircle and wipe out the main force of Cao Jun."

Seeing that Jia Xu wanted to persuade himself, Li Shimin naturally knew his worries, and added: "Wen He, I have confidence in Wen Chang and Wen Yuan, and I believe that the day of counterattack is not far away."

Seeing that Li Shimin was so determined, Jia Xu stopped persuading him. It is true that he is now surrounded by Cao Jun's army and is in deep trouble, but Cao Cao is also going deep alone. On the way of grain, Cao Jun will be defeated.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu also had to admire Li Shimin's courage, and used himself as a bait to attract the main force of Cao Jun, so as to realize his intention of severely injuring or even destroying Cao Jun.

Maybe this is to die and survive!
