Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 599: Take Luoyang

Resisting the attack of the Xiliang Army, the door was closed with thunderous clamor, the world-famous Xiliang Army was resisted by them, and the number of soldiers lost by the Xiliang Army was far greater than that of their own side.

Xia Houyuan was not as short-sighted as the soldiers and generals at the bottom. In one round of attack, the defenders had an absolute advantage. Still, 500 soldiers died and more than [-] were injured. Compared with the Xiliang Army, it must be a little less. But the defenders consumed more supplies, boulders and arrows, etc. With such consumption, even if they had the advantage of passing the checkpoint, it would be difficult for them to hold the checkpoint for a long time.

After rectifying their flags and drums, the Xiliang army launched an attack again, until [-] reinforcements came from the pass.

In the successive sieges, the Xiliang army lost nearly 4000 people, eight Jinglan vehicles were damaged, and more than ten Pili chariots were also damaged. It can be said that the loss was quite heavy.

Zhao Yun couldn't bear such a result. He didn't exhaust the opponent, and another [-] reinforcements came. As expected, these reinforcements must have brought enough food and supplies. The defenders have been replenished, and the attack will become more difficult.

The night was dark, and the checkpoint was quiet. There was a camp that was still brightly lit. Five or six generals gathered together, discussing something in a low voice.

"General Zhou, is this plan feasible?" a general whispered.

"Nonsense, we have 3000 people, and the soldiers guarding the closed gate are also ours. As long as we remove the huge stone at the city gate, open the closed gate, and the Xiliang army will rush in, we are all meritorious officials." General Zhou whispered Said.

"Okay, from General Zhou's point of view, it's just that Xia Houyuan is very shrewd. There are too many soldiers patrolling the city. If we dispatch 3000 people, we will definitely notice it. We will not be spared by then."

"Well, we can dispatch 100 people at a time, slowly approaching the closed area, and strive to control the vicinity of the city gate, so that we can calmly open the closed gate." General Zhou said slowly.

The successive battles made the defenders a little tired, so when General Zhou asked to close the door, Xia Houyuan agreed without thinking.

Pieces of stones and sundries were moved away. The soldiers cleared nearly half of them in an hour. It took another hour to open the closed door. General Zhou seemed to see that the closed door was wide open. Entering the pass, Cao Jun fled in embarrassment. He was originally a general of the Yellow Turban Army. Because of his own ability, he soon gained a position in Cao Jun and was ordered to guard the surrounding areas of Luoyang. This time, the Xiliang Army attacked Hulao Pass. Thinking of being able to make contributions in Hulao Pass, in order to reach a higher position.

But before leaving, he met Yu Dan, the military advisor of the Yellow Turban Army, and a man from his hometown. If it wasn't for Yu Dan, he would have starved to death. After thinking about it, he agreed.

Cao Cao incorporated Guo Da's department, but the veteran generals in the Yellow Turban had no feelings for Cao Cao. At the beginning, the two sides had fought a lot. In the hearts of the veteran generals, Guo Da was their leader.

A group of patrolling soldiers stopped at the place where the door was closed, looking around vigilantly, or a hundred, or 50 people, forming a situation of encircling the closed door.

"What are you doing? Why do you stop here? Don't hurry up and go on patrol." A man who looked like a general said while leading more than 20 soldiers.

"General, we're going to patrol right now." With a wink, more than 100 soldiers walked slowly towards the person who came.

"Stop." The general realized that something was wrong. The patrolling soldiers were basically in teams of ten at most, but there were more than a hundred of them.

Not only did more than a hundred soldiers not stop, but they rushed towards the general quickly. The ring sword was already out of its sheath, and they did not hesitate to kill the general.

The general never expected that Pao Ze would attack him, and when he suddenly woke up, the big head had already been separated from his body.

The remaining ten or so soldiers panicked and kept shouting loudly. The hundred or so soldiers showed no mercy, and quickly killed all the soldiers, and then quietly gathered the corpses together.

The movement here caused many patrolling soldiers to rush over, and some soldiers were even ready to ring the alarm gong.

"It's okay, it's okay, one of my brothers ran into a mouse and was scared." A soldier shouted loudly.

"Look at your stupidity, a mouse can make you scream and want to kill the enemy." A mocking voice came from not far away.

When the soldiers gathered heard such a lame reason, they chose to believe it. They were all people who had experienced life and death together, and they didn't take it seriously.

A general walked forward for more than ten steps and stopped. With the breeze, he smelled a faint smell of blood. Although it was not very strong, he was sure it was the smell of blood that had just flowed out. He had experienced many battles. Very familiar.

Taking a look at the surrounding soldiers, there are only five or sixty soldiers, while there are more than a hundred soldiers on the other side, and there are many hazy figures not far away, which immediately made him aware of the troops. The more urgent the line.

"Be careful, it will be finished in half an hour." One person said in a low voice.

"General, General Ma is asking to see you outside the tent." The guard said respectfully.

Xia Houyuan once told the guards when he fell asleep that he must report any situation immediately without any delay. This is the critical moment of the battle and there should be no mistakes. Even if Yu Jin just fell asleep, the guards still bite the bullet walked in.

"Well, let him in." Xia Houyuan got up and rubbed his sleepy eyes and said.

"General, I have something important to report to you." General Ma said hastily after entering the big tent.

"What's the matter?"

"Beizhi was on patrol just now, and found more than a hundred soldiers gathered at the closed door, and heard the screams of soldiers before, and smelled a little blood after going there. At that time, there were only more than 50 people in the hands of Beizhi, no matter how rash it was." General Ma said very quickly.

Xia Houyuan got up abruptly, and said: "Go to the army to gather soldiers and horses, and rush to close the door. The guards will follow me, and the speed must be fast."

The 500-man personal guards assembled at the first time. As Xia Houyuan rushed to the gate, even the [-] cavalry in the pass were dispatched. The sound of rumbling horseshoes awakened the defenders in the pass. Close the door closer.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xia Houyuan asked cautiously. Although the words of the general surnamed Ma made him more vigilant, he had to wait until the situation was completely clear, otherwise the enemy would be in chaos before the enemy arrived. For the defenders, it was a huge blow.

Seeing that the matter had been revealed, more than a hundred soldiers rushed forward without the slightest hesitation to buy time for the soldiers at the closed gate.

Seeing this, Xia Houyuan no longer hesitated, and gave an order, and five hundred personal guards drew up their weapons. These personal guards were all elite soldiers in Cao's army, and the elite selected from various ministries could not be resisted by more than a hundred soldiers. Yes, it will be broken.

Hearing the news reported by the soldiers, General Zhou hesitated for a while, and ordered the soldiers to resist.

More and more soldiers are coming towards Xiahouyuan. There are 3000 yellow scarf soldiers in the hands of General Zhou, while Xiahouyuan's personal guards are only 500. He also wants to capture Xiahouyuan and occupy Hulao Pass. Once the credit comes, it will be even greater.

"My lord treats you well, why did you betray?" Xia Houyuan couldn't believe it. There were so many soldiers who betrayed. Entering the pass, even if Xia Houyuan has the power to reach the sky, the Hulao pass can only be broken.

"Kill Xiahouyuan and reward him with a hundred gold." General Zhou pointed at Xiahouyuan and shouted loudly.

The two sides fought for about a quarter of an hour, and the cavalry from the barracks arrived first. At this time, there was only a short distance left to close the door. As long as they opened the door, they would win.

The arrival of Xiahouyuan's cavalry caused panic among General Zhou's soldiers and they retreated one after another, but the five hundred cavalry retreated steadily. Xiahouyuan took the opportunity to lead five hundred personal guards to enter. General Zhou couldn't resist and led the remnant army to flee in all directions. .

After the arrival of the army, the situation was completely stabilized. At this time, the obstacles before closing the door had been completely cleared away. After clearing away the remnants of General Zhou, Xia Houyuan breathed a sigh of relief. If General Ma hadn't discovered something was wrong, I'm afraid The Xiliang army has already succeeded.

General Zhou is also a character, he can't do anything when he sees things, he draws his sword and commits suicide.

"The personal guards firmly guard the city gate and seal the city gate." Xia Houyuan ordered with a gloomy face.

General Zhou's rebellion directly caused the defenders to lose nearly 4000 people. There were originally [-] defenders, and their strength dropped sharply.

"Torturing the captured generals, who ordered them to have such courage." Xia Houyuan said in a low voice.

The news of the failure of the rebellion in the pass reached Guo Jia immediately. He let out the information with a long sigh, and looked at Hulaoguan with a confused look. The Yellow Turban Army is an extremely powerful trump card of the Xiliang Army. The fatal blow of the defenders in the pass, unexpectedly failed, the defenders in the pass lost more than 4000 people, perhaps the biggest gain.

"It seems that Cao Jun is underestimated." Guo Jia murmured.

The [-] cavalry who were waiting in full force quietly withdrew to the camp, and Zhao Yun's expression was not very good when he heard the news of the failure of the operation.

After this change, Hulaoguan was more strictly guarded. The generals guarding the gate were all generals whom Xia Houyuan trusted.

In half a month, the Xiliang army was dispatched to capture Sishui Pass, and the news that the troops were approaching Hulao Pass spread all over the world, and the princes who had nothing to do with themselves were naturally held high.

Not to be outdone, Yuan Shao in Jizhou ordered two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, to lead [-] troops to Qingzhou.
