The last three kingdoms

Chapter 576 Attack
Liu Yin said in a low voice: "Chen Qian came here obviously to ask for directions. Although they are all members of the Yan Party, they did not dare to persuade Sima Yan to act rashly without knowing Sima Yan's situation, so they sent Chen Qian to have a look. False and true. It is best to refuse them to enter the city, so that they will not be able to understand the situation in the city, and they can only stand still for the time being."

Sima You shook his head and said: "If we refuse him to enter the city, it proves that we are guilty. Why don't we let him in. He is alone, so forgive him and he won't be able to cause much trouble."

Sima You poked his head out of the city and said, "So it's Dudu Chen. Dudu Chen is not guarding Yuzhou, why did he come to the capital?"

Chen Qian cupped his hands on the horse and said: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Wuyang. I have seen the prince. When I was in Yuzhou, I heard that King Jin had passed away, so I came here to attend the funeral. I also ask the prince to let the official see the King of Jin again." One life."

Chen Qian has always been Sima Zhao's effective subordinate. He used to be Sima and Chang Shi of the prime minister, and he followed Sima Zhao to fight many times. The relationship has always been very close. Because of Sima Zhao's death, he came to the funeral. Although he was outside the legal system, he did not lose. Reasonable, this high-sounding reason, but Sima You could not refuse.

"Kaicheng!" Sima You ordered.

In order to guard against the sneak attack of the Wei army outside the city, the city gate of the upper east gate was only opened with a small gap, just enough to allow Chen Qian and his entourage to pass through. The entire defense of the upper east gate was directed by Ji Xi himself. Hundreds of soldiers of the imperial army, as if they were facing a big enemy, were heavily prepared. If Chen Qian made any changes at this moment, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not be cut to pieces.

Chen Qian smiled blandly, but he didn't come here to cheat the city. He entered the city slowly, while the troops of the Wei army a few miles away remained motionless.

Chen Qian glanced contemptuously. Since he dared to go into the tiger's lair alone, he wouldn't be afraid of the heavy swordsmen. After passing through the long city gate corridor, Chen Qian saw Sima You waiting there, so he immediately got off his horse and stepped forward. Give a gift.

Although the two parties were tacit, Chen Qian entered the city in the name of Sima Zhao's funeral, and Sima You naturally couldn't do anything else.What's more, although Chen Qian entered the city alone, there were tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops behind him. Naturally, Sima You was quite afraid. This was undoubtedly Chen Qian's biggest amulet, allowing him to go deep into the tiger's den without injury.

After the two sides exchanged some greetings, Sima You immediately sent someone to lead Chen Qian to the Jin Palace to mourn Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao's funeral was not stopped because of the arrival of the army outside the city, and it was still going on in an orderly manner.However, Sima Zhao's funeral etiquette is cumbersome, and he cannot be buried in a short time.

Chen Qian went to the Jin Palace to express condolences. Along the way, he could feel that someone was following him, which made Chen Qian not surprised at all. It seemed that Sima You was quite vigilant, but Chen Qian had a well-thought-out plan and had his own countermeasures .

The sudden attack of the Wei army outside the city took place in the early morning of the next day. Most of the defenders were still in a dream, and only a few soldiers in charge of vigilance remained awake. The defensive power invested is very limited.

The Wei army's attack target was very clear. They did not adopt a full-scale attack, but chose to conduct a surprise attack on several weak points in Luoyang City. The attack was swift and fierce, trying to break Luoyang's defense line with the least casualty cost. .This minimum cost of casualties is not only for the Wei army of the Yan family, but more importantly for the Forbidden Army of the You family.

However, Ji Xi's reaction was extremely sharp, and he immediately led his troops into the defense line of the city wall, desperately resisting, and quickly blocked the first wave of threatening attacks by the Yan Wei army.

As more soldiers of the imperial army joined the defensive ranks, the defense line that was originally in jeopardy has turned the corner.

When Sima You and Liu Yin arrived at the upper east gate, the climax of the Wei army's offensive had just receded.The city wall of Luoyang City is second to none in terms of height and thickness. As the capital city of the Han and Wei Dynasties, Luoyang's status has never been shaken. This undoubtedly created the strong defense system of Luoyang City, such a majestic city , how could it be easily breached.

Originally, the two sides were in a stalemate, but the Wei army suddenly launched an attack, which was obviously beyond Liu Yin's expectations, but Liu Yin seemed to understand something, Chen Qian came to the city to find out, as the leader of the Yan Party As a character, Chen Qian would naturally be concerned about Sima Yan's whereabouts, and only after confirming that Sima Yan was safe and sound, the Wei army outside the city would launch an attack.As for how Chen Qian passed the news to Wei Jun outside the city, it is still unclear, but there is no doubt that Shi Baoyanghu outside the city has clearly received the news that Sima Yan is still alive, so they will unscrupulously initiate attack.

"Come on, take Chen Qian down for me!" Sima You was also very annoyed. He had already taken strict precautions against Chen Qian, but unexpectedly, he would still take advantage of him. This made Sima You very angry. He ordered Chen Qian to be captured immediately.

Liu Yin's eyes turned to Wei Bing, who had set off a new round of offensive climax outside the city. Shi Bao and Yang Hu knew very well that even if they had the upper hand in strength, facing the unusually strong Luoyang City, they would not be able to survive in a short time. It is not easy to conquer the interior. If you attack in an all-round way, you will be restricted everywhere. It is better to choose one point to attack, and start from the weakest link of the defenders. The chances of this will be greater. Therefore, they The target of the attack was the upper east gate, which is relatively low in the city wall, and devoted all its strength to open a gap here, so as to attack Luoyang in one fell swoop.

In order to achieve this goal, Shi Bao and Yang Hu tried their best to seize the people first, but the imperial guards guarding the city were not weak either. Throwing down, the battle between the two sides has entered a gluer situation.

Above and below the city, corpses were lying all over the place, which shows the brutality of the battle.

Sima You frowned, feeling a little helpless. Although he is in control of the entire Luoyang situation now, Sima You felt that everything became very far away when he left the city wall. After all, Luoyang is an isolated city. A strong isolated city cannot escape the fate of destruction in the end.

"Mr. Wen, do you have a good strategy?" When Sima You was at a loss, the first thing he thought of was Liu Yin, and he could only come up with a lot of tricks to resolve the crisis for him time and time again.

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "How difficult is it to defeat the enemy? Someone has a plan, which is enough to defeat the enemy!"
