Chapter 618 I am a barbarian
A little earlier.

Not far outside Luoyang City, the morning mist was lingering.

As time went by, light dispelled the haze and sunlight dominated the earth. However, the atmosphere between the two vanguard armies of Jia Xu and Chunyu Qiong here gradually became tense.

“Something seems a little off.”

Chunyu Qiong glanced sharply at the opposing army, then looked at the city not far away, and finally he discovered the problem.

"Why is the flag of my Yuan family suddenly raised on the city wall?"

"Hey, Captain Jia on the other side, you guys don't even control the city!"

In front of the two armies, Chunyu Qiong shouted loudly:

"How dare you, a treacherous villain, bluff and deceive me!"

"Get out of the way quickly and let me enter the city!"

hiss--

It was exposed, it was exposed after all.

Li Lei took a deep breath and looked at Jia Xu who was calm and composed beside him. He felt extremely nervous.

Of course, they did not control the city of Luoyang.

Last night, after surrendering to Su Yao, they immediately received new orders to rush to Luoyang and control the city defenses, making sure not to let the city fall into Yuan Shao's hands.

To be honest, they didn't understand why Guan Junhou was so anxious at that time.

However, when they arrived at the city and saw the tightly closed city gates, they could not help but admire the foresight of Marquis Guanjun.

"Asshole, why don't you open the city gate and let me enter the city!"

Last night, near dawn, at the south gate of Luoyang City, Li Lei shouted loudly:

"We are under the command of Champion Marquis Su Yao. We have been ordered to take over the city defense and stationed in the capital to help you restore order in the capital!"

"Seeing this flag, why don't you open the door quickly!"

However, the servants of the noble families in the city seemed unmoved:

"The capital is in chaos right now, and the city defenses are tight. If you want to enter the city, wait until the General of the Cavalry arrives!"

——"General of Cavalry? Which General of Cavalry?" Jia Xu frowned.

If he remembered correctly, Su Yao refused Dong Zhuo's seal of General of Cavalry, and instead took on the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry through some imperial edict.

So this cavalry general is
"Of course it's General Yuan Shao!"

The minor official on the city wall clasped his hands with a look of admiration:
"They are three officials of four generations, and they have a long-standing reputation."

"We only trust the General of the Cavalry, so you better go back now!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu frowned even more tightly.

It is indeed good news that Luoyang City is not as chaotic as imagined.

However, it was indeed unexpected that these children of noble families turned to Yuan Shao and openly refused the title of Marquis of Guanjun, citing the reputation of the Yuan family as three officials for four generations.

"Humph, you are so confused!"

Jia Xu snorted coldly and tried to threaten:

"Champion Marquis Su Yao is a great hero of the time. He was ordered to fight against Dong Zhuo, and he was unstoppable. Even a ruthless and brutal man like Dong Zhuo was no match for him and fled in panic."

"If you guys are smart, you should open the gate and surrender immediately. Otherwise, once the army arrives, all of you will be killed without a burial place!"

Upon hearing this, the servants on the city wall looked at each other, obviously frightened by Jia Xu's words.

However, some of them do not buy it.

"Don't be scared by him!"

At the city gate, a man who looked like a son of an aristocratic family stood up and said loudly:

"The Yuan family has three officials in four generations, and their students and former officials are all over the world. How could they be afraid of a young boy like him?"

"So what if the Champion is so powerful?"

"He can't break the rules!"

After saying that, he looked at Jia Xu and others under the city and snorted coldly:
"You, the remnant soldiers of Xiliang, claim that you are under the command of Marquis Guanjun, but who can guarantee that?"

"Don't tell me you stole the flag from somewhere and used the name of the Champion Marquis to deceive me at the city gates, intending to burn, kill and plunder!"

"You Xiliang barbarians are always cruel and cunning. Don't even think about entering Luoyang!"

The words of this noble family obviously aroused the hatred of the people on the city wall.

Dong Zhuo behaved like a delinquent in the capital, and the Xiliang soldiers under his command were also arrogant and domineering.

Now, no one would hesitate to keep these Xiliang troops out.

Seeing this, Jia Xu and Li Lei were at a loss for a moment. That's right, they were at a loss.

Frankly speaking, there was a moment when those uneducated and seemingly vulnerable soldiers on the city wall made Li Lei so bold that he wanted to storm the city.

However, the tall city walls of Luoyang City instantly dispelled his unrealistic ideas.

As the center of the empire, the city walls were so high that even ordinary ladders could not reach the top. How could their vanguards with fast horses and light cavalry take it?

However, as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours.

Just as they were in a stalemate with the defenders on the city, scouts reported that a large number of cavalry were approaching from the east.

"Oops!"

Li Lei exclaimed:
"It must be Yuan Shao's vanguard!"

"These stubborn elements in the city must have colluded with him long ago."

"If we let them into the city, my Lordship's plan will be ruined."

Jia Xu also nodded:

"We must not let them enter the city!"

"The whole army must attack and stop them."

"what?!"

Li Lei was horrified.

Logically speaking, their battle-hardened Xiliang cavalry are by no means comparable to those weak knights in Guandong who have never been baptized by war.

However, the physical fitness of their troops is now quite worrying.

Although they did not fight all night long like Su Yao's personal cavalry, they also suffered heavy losses.

Judging from the light of the fire, there were as many as two to three thousand people on the opposite side.

If we fight head-on, not to mention the fact that our allies will turn against us, we won't have the advantage in terms of combat power.

If the two armies meet in the dark and engage in direct battle, and we are defeated miserably, then everything will be over.

However, Jia Xu immediately gave a solution to this.

He asked the knights to light more torches to disguise themselves as a large army, and bluffed, claiming that he had already taken control of the capital.

Under the cover of night, they finally managed to scare off Chunyu Qiong's 3,000 troops.

But now, as the sky brightened, the noble families in the city also cooperated in a timely manner, and Jia Xu's disguise had completely failed.

"Get out of the way!"

Chun Yuqiong's eyes were filled with threats:

"Being clever won't help you much."

"Since we are allies, I will not mind your previous disruption."

"Now, if you have any sense, get out of my way. This captain is going to take over the city defense."

Jia Xu was speechless. After a pause, he finally waved his hand and made way.

"Hmph, you know what's going on!"

Chunyu Qiong was very proud and arrogantly called on his knights to pass quickly and prepare to enter the city.

However, he did not expect that when his army was halfway past Jia Xu, those Xiliang barbarians actually turned against him and launched a sneak attack!
"what?!"

Chunyu Qiong was shocked when he saw the Xiliang cavalry who suddenly changed their expressions, brandished their weapons, and attacked him.

"asshole!"

"shameless!"

"How dare you attack friendly forces!"

"Does the Champion want to rebel?!"

While commanding the army to form a battle array and counterattack, Chunyu Qiong was roaring in anger and his face turned ashen.

He never imagined that these Xiliang barbarians would be so bold as to pretend to let him pass, but suddenly launched a sneak attack when the army was halfway through!

That Champion Marquis is such a shameless guy who has earned his title for nothing!
"Hahaha!"

"What does this have to do with Champion Hou?!"

Jia Xu sneered:
"You've gone too far, so what if I want to teach you a lesson?!"

"What does this friendly alliance have to do with me, the Xiliang barbarians?"

"you!!!"
