Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "In war, there will inevitably be casualties, and once Luo Yang is attacked, how important it is to our army, I think Feng Xiao knows it."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, but I am too short-sighted. I am a bit reluctant to see too many soldiers killed and injured."

"It's not just Fengxiao's reluctance, so is this king. These soldiers are elite soldiers who have fought many battles. How miserable they are to die under the city."

"My lord, why don't you organize soldiers to sneak into the city, open the city gates, and welcome the army to enter the city?" Guo Jia asked. It is said that this is a common method since the Xiliang army sent troops, and it has been tried and tested. All conquered one by one.

"There are more than 1 defenders in the city, and the defender Cao Ren is a famous general. It is impossible for him to ignore his own safety. According to the news from the spies in the city, Cao Ren ordered the personal guards to protect the camp around densely. Get up, without his order, no one can approach, the city gates are also strictly guarded, and even the aristocratic families in the city have contacts with Cao Jun and secretly support Cao Ren." Jia Rong said.

"It's really timid." Guo Jia said disappointedly: "But the aristocratic families in the city should not be underestimated."

"Hehe, if this kind of thing is put on anyone, he will protect his own safety, and Cao Ren also understands his importance to Luo Yang." Jia Rong's eyes sharpened sharply and said: "Even if Cao Ren is well protected, this king There is also a way to conquer Luoyang, the blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain, pass down the order to attack the three city walls with all their strength, without giving the defenders any chance to breathe, as for the aristocratic family, when Luoyang is breached, they will regret it."

At this time, the moat outside Luoyang City had been filled on three sides, and the defenders in the city became a bit stretched. After all, the Xiliang Army had nearly 1 people, and they only had more than 3000 people. After days of consumption, Many soldiers were seriously injured, and their combat power was weakened by nearly 1 people. There are less than [-] soldiers available for battle. It is difficult to protect the three walls. It is not enough, it is difficult to guarantee the implementation of the above orders under the high-intensity attack of the Xiliang Army.

Luoyang is not like Hulao Pass, he can seal the gates of the city. Before that step, Cao Ren will definitely not do that. He is waiting for the reinforcements of Cao Jun. Once the reinforcements arrive, he will open the gates and join forces from the inside out. With the Xiliang army in chaos, Cao's army may have a chance of victory.

The Xiliang army attacked Luoyang day and night, with a one-time investment of 1 troops, three city walls were attacked at the same time, thunderbolt chariots and ballistas poured down on the city desperately, and the soldiers marched forward bravely without fear of death. Once they reach the city wall, it will be a fatal blow to the defenders on the city. In terms of weapons and equipment, no one can match them, and the soldiers are usually well-trained. After attacking the city wall, the defenders will be in a hurry. The private soldiers stirred up in the middle, making it even more chaotic.

In just one month, the defenders were exhausted. Faced with such a fierce attack by the Xiliang Army, Cao Ren was moved. There were only 5000 defenders, including wounded soldiers. The Xiliang Army paid a greater price for this. Self-proclaimed that they are the number one army in the world, attacking the city wall is no different from ordinary soldiers of the princes. They will still die and cry when they are hit by stones.

This kind of siege consumes a lot of supplies for the defenders. The arrows and boulders in the city are only enough for half a month. Without these advantages, the defenders can only fight hand-to-hand with the Xiliang army.

Different from Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, Luoyang's city wall was high and thick, even if the lone wolf soldiers wanted to climb the city wall, it was impossible, and the idea of ​​sending soldiers into the city to sneak attack was cut off.

The soldiers on both sides gradually became angry, after all they had lost so many robes.

At this time, the Cao army was ready to assemble and was rushing towards Luoyang. In less than seven days, they would be able to give support to the defenders in the city. They can only return to Chang'an in despair, and the hard-won checkpoints like Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass will return to Cao Jun's hands.

The construction of these checkpoints is completely foreign and not internal. The attack outside Hulao Pass is not at the same level as the attack inside Hulao Pass. Cao Jun can easily capture Hulao Pass from inside the pass.

Cao Jun's speed made Jia Rong panic. He didn't want to waste a year's gathering, and the price Cao Jun paid was obviously less than that of Xiliang Army. The loss of the defending side and the attacking side were often It is even more than one to two.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and Jia Rong can't sleep peacefully. The success or failure will be announced tonight. If this sneak attack is not successful, he can only retreat. It's expensive, and the consumption of thunderbolt chariots is also a huge amount, not to mention the armor and weapons of the soldiers. A battle is a competition of money and knowledge, to see who has more money and is more willing to spend it on it.

Guo Jia and other important generals in the army were also in Jia Rong's tent, waiting quietly for something.

After a long time, it was Zhao Yun who broke the tranquility and said, "My lord, can it really succeed?" Zhao Yun was a little skeptical about Jia Rong's strategy. The lives of hundreds of soldiers and the outcome of the attack on Luoyang are at stake. Cao's army is only one day away from Luoyang, and the vanguard may arrive in the morning. Like the Xiliang army, Cao Cao also attaches great importance to the development of cavalry. It is because there are not a few cavalry in the old army, and the equipment of the two sides is almost the same. Faced with such a situation, the Xiliang cavalry wandering on the battlefield can only continue to harass.

"This king is confident that Luo Yang will be taken down in a single battle, but General Lu and General Ma are ready?" Jia Rong turned his attention to Zhao Yun.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for Luoyang's city gate to be opened." Zhao Yundao, I'm afraid Cao Ren would never have imagined that he wanted to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, but gave the Xiliang army An opportunity, an opportunity to capture Luoyang, was also a temporary decision made by Cao Ren after he knew that Cao Jun's vanguard army would arrive at dawn. The Xiliang Army's fierce offensive made Cao Ren completely seal the city gate , and then undoes itself.

It was late at night, and there was silence in Cao Jun's camp. Cao Ren was in full armor, sitting on a handsome chair. Except for today, the Xiliang Army would attack fiercely during the rest of the time. Such a high-intensity battle cannot be neglected.

Inside the Xianlian Pavilion, Su Shuang's eyes sharpened sharply, and he ordered the servant beside him, "Take me to the secret room."

In the secret room, [-] people in black had already gathered. These people were secretly trained by Su Shuang when he was in Luoyang by Jia Rong, so that they could be used one day. However, with the stalemate of the war, it gradually relaxed a lot. The main reason is that Su Shuang was too honest. He also lost his original vigilance towards him, thinking that Su Shuang was just a businessman stationed in Luoyang by the Xiliang Army. His existence was probably to create more profits for the Xiliang Army. Cao Ren even thought, through Su Shuang, set out the method of making Xianlian.

"Are you ready? The lord's army will enter the city soon, and will do whatever it takes to create chaos in the city to prepare for the lord's entry." Su Shuang said.

The three hundred men in black all claimed yes, their voices were low and echoed in the dark secret room.

Su Shuang trusted the three hundred men in black very much, because these people were orphans Su Shuang had adopted over the years, and they were so loyal that even if Su Shuang ordered them to commit suicide collectively, they would not hesitate.

On the mountain not far from Luoyang, five hundred soldiers were waiting in battle. They had no armor on their bodies, and they wore ring knives on their waists. Now they are handy.

"It's time, let's start." Jia Rong ordered.

The rumble of war drums sounded in the Xiliang army, and densely packed soldiers appeared on the three walls of Luoyang. Accompanied by the sound of war drums, they launched an offensive against Luoyang. After many days of attacking, the soldiers seem to have gotten used to this kind of life , Watching the former companions fall one by one, the heart has already been filled with anger, and the purpose of climbing the city wall is to kill one more enemy. At this time of war, few people care about life and death.

This kind of war is a huge meat grinder for the soldiers and officers at the bottom. The bottom officers who can survive the war will be at the lowest level of company commander and battalion commander in the future, and they will be placed in the Xiliang Army for a while. Characters, war is not only a test of the training results of lieutenant officers and soldiers, but also a shortcut for people with lofty ideals to reach high positions.

"Warriors, are you ready? This is the last battle of the Xiliang Army. If Luoyang cannot be captured, we can only return to Chang'an in despair, making the world laugh at us." Zhao Yun roared loudly.

"Kill, kill, kill." Thousands of soldiers yelled in unison, and the voice kept echoing in the sky for a long time.

"The King of Liang is watching you from behind. Normally, you all claim to be the elite of the army, the fierce tigers on the battlefield. In the last battle, show all your courage and take the city." Zhao Yun roared.

Cao Ren had already known the movement outside the city. He still had more than [-] soldiers in his hands. Although most of them were soldiers from aristocratic families, they were more than enough to defend the city, enough to support Cao Jun's arrival.

"The last battle? Hmph, let's draw the bows and arrows and show the Xiliang army. Cao Jun is not easy to bully, and you are also warriors." Cao Ren said.
