Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

"Father, what should we do now?" Liu Qi asked Liu Yu beside him.

"Oh! Cao Ang is really a madman. Attacking the city at this time is just seeking death," Liu Yu sighed.

"Father, do you have a plan to break the city?" Liu Qi looked at Liu Yu expectantly.

"We don't have a plan to break the city, but now the only way to stop Cao Ang from attacking the city is to defend it to the death," said Liu Yu.

"Defend it to the death!" Liu Qi frowned.

“That’s right, Cao Ang’s cavalry is very strong, and if they want to overcome our defenses, the best option is to use the cavalry’s advantage to launch a surprise attack.

We can only defend until we can defeat Cao Ang's cavalry, otherwise, we have no other options." Liu Yu sighed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi fell silent.

Cao Ang's cavalry was indeed powerful. Even a fierce general like Liu Bei was defeated when facing Cao Ang's cavalry.

If Cao Ang's cavalry were allowed to charge in, there would definitely be heavy losses.

However, Luoyang City is so small, how can it accommodate so many cavalry?

"Is there no other way but to defend it?" Liu Qi was somewhat unwilling.

"Maybe." Liu Yu wasn't sure either.

The situation in Luoyang City is rather complicated. The city is not big, and the city walls are high, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In order to defend Luoyang City, Liu Xuande specially recruited many talents from the princes of Guandong.

These talents helped Liu Xuande stabilize the situation and ensure the peace of Luoyang City.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to capture Luoyang City with just a few thousand cavalry.

Cao Ang also discovered this situation, so now there is only one last option left.

Siege the city!

Cao Ang was very familiar with sieges. When he attacked Jingzhou, he broke through the county cities of Jingzhou, so he was well prepared this time.

Cao Ang directly sent out the vanguard team of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to prepare for the siege.

Cao Ang's vanguard was led by Dian Wei.

After receiving Cao Ang's order, Dian Wei led 3,000 cavalrymen without hesitation.

"My men, follow me, Dian, to kill the enemy. Remember, anyone who dares to offend our army will be killed without mercy, leaving no one alive." Dian Wei shouted.

"Yes!" Three thousand elite soldiers roared in unison.

Dian Wei led three thousand cavalrymen and galloped towards the city wall.

"My lord has ordered that any enemy who dares to offend the Han Dynasty will be killed without mercy!" Dian Wei roared.

Immediately, three thousand cavalrymen charged towards the city gate of Luoyang.

"What's going on?" Liu Xuande, who was observing the enemy's movements, was frightened.

Dian Wei's three thousand cavalry arrived so suddenly that Liu Xuande was caught off guard.

"Kill!" Three thousand cavalrymen arrived at the city gate and started to attack the city gate without saying a word.

Liu Xuande's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at the three thousand cavalrymen.

"Shield bearers, push forward!" Liu Xuande gave the order hurriedly.

In an instant, hundreds of shield bearers held up wooden shields to resist the cavalry's attack.

"Bang, bang, bang." The shields kept colliding with the iron hooves of the cavalry horses.

The cavalry charged several times but all failed.

"Kill!" Dian Wei said coldly.

He knew that the enemies on the city wall were not simple, but he was not afraid at all and continued to command the cavalry to attack the city.

The speed of the three thousand cavalrymen gradually increased, and they soon arrived at the city gate.

"Shoot!" Liu Xuande shouted hurriedly.

"Swish, swish, swish." Dense arrows from the city wall shot at the cavalry outside the city, while Dian Wei dodged the arrows and organized the soldiers to charge.

The cavalry led by Dian Wei quickly arrived at the city gate. They dismounted their horses, chopped open the wooden gate with their knives, and rushed in.

"Shoot!" Liu Xuande shouted loudly.

"Swish, swish, swish." Countless arrows flew towards the cavalry camp. However, Dian Wei's cavalry had been prepared, and many of them dodged the arrows.

Dian Wei took the lead, rushed into the city gate, and killed towards Liu Xuande with a spear in hand.

When Liu Xuande saw Dian Wei rushing towards him, his face became solemn.

Liu Xuande knew that Cao Ang was serious this time.

Dian Wei was very skilled in martial arts, and Liu Xuande was unwilling to fight with him.

However, Dian Wei didn't care about all this. He just wanted to kill Liu Xuande.

Liu Xuande's martial arts are also not weak. Although he has not learned martial arts systematically, he is experienced in many battles and can still use various fancy moves to fight against Dian Wei on equal terms.

"Ding ding ding." Dian Wei and Liu Xuande kept colliding.

Dian Wei became more and more excited as the fight went on, while Liu Xuande became more and more frightened.

"Kill!" Dian Wei was furious and exploded.

Liu Xuande didn't dare to take it head-on and dodged quickly.

Seeing this, Dian Wei immediately turned his spear and stabbed it fiercely towards Liu Xuande.

When Liu Xuande saw this situation, he secretly thought that it was not good.

At this time, Liu Xuande had no time to dodge and could only hold the sword in his hand across his chest.

"Puchi!" Dian Wei's halberd directly pierced through Liu Xuande's sword and went straight through Liu Xuande's shoulder.

"Ah!" Liu Xuande cried out in pain.

"Die!" Dian Wei was furious. He drew out his halberd and stabbed Liu Xuande again.

"Pfft!"

Liu Xuande fell to the ground again, and Dian Wei's halberd almost pierced Liu Xuande's head. Fortunately, Liu Xuande avoided the fatal blow.

"Someone come and save me!" Liu Xuande felt his life slipping away and hurriedly asked for help from the people around him.

Soon, a group of guards arrived, including Lu Bu, the only civil official under Liu Xuande.

"Protect the lord!" Lu Bu shouted anxiously.

Lu Bu was a loyal retainer of Liu Xuande. He always followed Liu Xuande and was Liu Xuande's most trusted adviser.

"Hurry, help me away!" Liu Xuande said hurriedly to Lu Bu.

After hearing this, Lu Bu hurried forward to help Liu Xuande up and fled away.

"Stop Dian Wei and don't let him catch up with us!" Liu Xuande said to his retainers.

"Yes!" The retainers responded, then dispersed and stood in front of Dian Wei.

"Kill!" Dian Wei roared angrily when he saw this.

"Kill!" The three thousand cavalrymen behind Dian Wei rushed madly towards the retainers who were blocking him.

Dian Wei stared at Lu Bu closely, he knew that he had to kill Liu Xuande today.

"Dian Wei, don't even think about hurting our lord!" Lu Bu yelled at Dian Wei.

"Hmph!" Dian Wei sneered.

Dian Wei's figure turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Lu Bu.

"Kill!" Lu Bu also drew out the long sword at his waist and rushed forward.

Dian Wei's martial arts value is slightly lower than Lu Bu's, but Dian Wei is good at using long weapons, and his armor has super strong defense, so Dian Wei completely suppresses Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was defeated one after another and had no way to resist Dian Wei.

On the other side, Liu Xuande had already run out of the city, and they walked some distance south, temporarily escaping Dian Wei's pursuit.

"Xuan De, what should we do now?" asked Lu Bu.

"Let's leave here first, and when we find an opportunity, we'll come back and take revenge." Liu Xuande said gritting his teeth.

Dian Wei is too strong. If they stay any longer, they will probably both die here.

"Okay!" Lu Bu nodded in agreement. (End of this chapter)
