"Okay...we are now at the south gate, and we are gradually moving closer to the west gate. If the Xiliang army retreats or other forces join in, we will be ready to fight to the death."

"Regardless of our relationship with these princes in the future, I, Zhiyuan, have no habit of selling out to my teammates. Tonight we will work together as one, advance and retreat together!"

Because it was night, the sound of the paper kites traveled far.After pausing for about a breath, Pei Yuanshao suddenly shouted: "I am willing to die for the general!"

Pei Yuanshao took the lead, and thousands of people broke out with the same shout.Even the three brothers felt hot, Liu Bei said to the two brothers: "As a general, it should be so!"

"The first time I met this woman, I felt that she was extraordinary. A few words can make the morale of the entire team reach its peak. It's really amazing..."

"We brothers must also work hard, no matter what happens in the future... But we must also break out of our own sky."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded, and the three of them also had ideals.

Zhiyuan took a look at Pei Yuanshao, and Pei Yuanshao smiled: "After following the young master for a long time, some things will naturally come to pass."

Zhiyuan nodded, then pointed the weapon in the air.The surrounding voices immediately lowered, and soon disappeared. "Set off!"

Zhiyuan took the lead, and the soldiers behind rode forward neatly.After that, the entire team was almost silent, except for the cavalry given by Cao Cao and a few others, who looked at Zhiyuan's men in surprise.

Zhiyuan went in ambush to the west of the city, and at this time Luoyang was already in chaos.When the fire broke out at the east gate in front, because only one restaurant was on fire, the upper echelons of the Xiliang Army did not have any vigilance.

But soon as the sound of shouting and killing came, after the second group of soldiers told Xu Rong, Li Jue, and Guo Si about these three people, they immediately got up and called out to their subordinates.

After all, the east gate came in without resisting the enemy at all, and any fool knew what happened.Li Jue scolded Zheng De a few times, because he actually deceived all three of them.

But these three people are really not weak... Needless to say, Xu Rong is the one with the oldest qualifications and the most combat experience in the Xiliang Army.And Li Jue and Guo Si fought very bravely, and their force value was not much weaker than that of Hua Xiong.

So despite the confusion, these few people easily pulled their pro-army over.Although those Xiliang troops who came later were too scumbags, their own pro-army with thousands of people is still very strong.

Luoyang City is too big, they are all located in the imperial palace.By the time Sun Jian waited for a few people to kill them, there were already about ten thousand people gathered here, and there were even a lot of Xiliang troops gathering here.

Cao Cao said directly to Sun Jian and the others: "We must disrupt them, otherwise we will be the ones who will suffer in the end." Bao Xin also nodded, and then swarmed up and collided with the opponent.

Xu Rong was not weak, so he directly met Sun Jian.To be honest... Sun Jian's two sons were not brought here. They are younger than Zhi Yuan. Although they have good skills, they are still allowed to stay in Jiangdong.

On Cao Cao's side, there are only a few Cao family's children, all from a noble family, and Xiahou's family was sent back, so besides Cao Cao here is Cao Hong.This combat power is not as good as in the novel, so once the generals intersect, the coalition forces will suffer too much.

Cao Cao couldn't beat the opponent's Guo Si, so he had no choice but to ask his younger brother Cao Hong to come to help.Cao Hong's horsemanship is much better than Cao Cao's, so he barely competed with Guo Si.

But Bao Xin was really overwhelmed, no matter whether it was Bao Xin himself or his younger brother Bao Tao, they couldn't beat Li Jue.

Although the current situation is not fighting generals, after all, a group of people are fighting in the narrow streets, so Bao Xin was gradually pushed back by the Xiliang army.The training of his subordinates was not as good as that of Cao Cao, so he suffered a big loss.

Bao Tao shouted to his brother: "We must adjust, otherwise we will be defeated!"

Bao Xin also knew the current situation, but how could he adjust the army in such a narrow place.Soldiers behind him have already begun to run back. Once this street is occupied by the Xiliang army, it will be very unfavorable to the other troops.

Bao Xin gritted his teeth: "Fire the arrows! No distinction between the enemy and the enemy!"

After a shower of arrows, the Xiliang army's attack momentum slowed down a bit, but this was not a long-term strategy after all.And Bao Tao, who was in the front, was also stuck by Li Jue and couldn't resist it at all.

At this critical moment, a long knife stood in front of Bao Tao.This person was a little embarrassed, and smirked at the other party: "Li Jue... Long time no see."

Li Jue was also taken aback for a moment, then looked at the person and said with some displeasure: "It's actually you!"

"Ha, I heard that you were arrested for never beating the coalition forces. Didn't you expect Zhan Zhan to completely betray the Grand Master and become the dog of the Guanzhong princes?"

"If you don't rebel immediately, I will go to the Grand Master to plead guilty for you, and maybe you can still live like a dog."

This man was Hua Xiong, Liu Bei had two thousand foot soldiers, and Yuan Shu later gave Zhi Yuan three thousand brave men.These people were all led by Hua Xiong, and then they went to the city to help after Cao Cao and the others.

After all, Hua Xiong killed Bao Xin's younger brother, and now that he is in the coalition, he has to pay back this favor.Although Hua Xiong is from Xiliang, he is not stupid after all.

"Li Jue... the Grand Master does not lack me. Now that I have joined the coalition forces, I am a traitor to the lord. But I also have face. After all, I can't rebel once."

"On weekdays, a few of you don't like seeing me, but now that I'm in this situation, you're probably very happy in your heart. So don't say such insignificant words, and see the real chapter!"

With a flick of his weapon, Hua Xiong directly blocked Bao Tao.Then Hua Xiong said to Bao Xin who was behind him: "Killed one of your younger brothers, and saved your younger brother this time, I will repay the favor."

After Hua Xiong finished speaking, he fought with Li Jue, neither of them showing mercy.

Chapter 220 Eight: Simple

With Hua Xiong...Bao Xin started to counterattack.The main force is Hua Xiong's subordinates, Liu Bei's two thousand elite.

Speaking of it, it's not just that Zhiyuan is reassuring to others (such as Liu Bei), Liu Bei is also learning from Zhiyuan now that he employs people without suspicion.

If I use you, I will directly hand over all the soldiers under my command to you. Hua Xiong is basically leading all the infantry under Zhi Yuan and Liu Bei now.

Therefore, Hua Xiong was overwhelmed with gratitude for the trust given to him by his superiors and had no resentment at all.Besides, Zhi Yuan told Hua Xiong that...they had already changed sides, and if they ran back, it would be very embarrassing.Lu Bu is called a slave with three surnames, so what about you?

What's more, there was a disagreement within the Xiliang Army. After thinking about it seriously, Hua Xiong made up his mind to mess with Liu Bei.After all, he was the one who caught him. As for Zhiyuan, Hua Xiong always felt a little afraid of this girl.

There are mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere in the city, and Zhi Yuan also welcomes her opponent outside the city, Dong Yue, a relative of Dong Zhuo's clan.

It was said earlier that Xu Rong led 5000 people into the city, but there was Dong Yue who led 5000 people outside the city.However, these people were stationed in a mountainous area twenty or thirty miles west of Luoyang, and did not enter Luoyang City.

These people were originally discussed by Dong Yue and Xu Rong. If the coalition forces chased them, they would ambush them once, so they chose a place west of Luoyang that was suitable for ambush.

Luoyang has been fighting for several hours. Whether it is the Xiliang army or the coalition army, they are fighting each other and they will set the nearby houses on fire. Otherwise, many people will not be able to see clearly, so even if it is far away, Dong Yue will not be there. It was discovered that there was a problem in Luoyang City.

Speaking of which, Dong Yue was taken aback. After all, who would have thought that someone could attack Luoyang City.And Dong Yue's younger brother, Dong Cheng, said to him: "I suspect that it may be due to cooperation between the inside and the outside. After all, there are also a few gentry in Luoyang who have stayed, and they may offer their doors to surrender."

"But they will definitely not take Luoyang so easily. There are more than 3 people in Luoyang, and General Xu is still there. General Xu is very capable. I think we should lead troops to help."

Dong Yue nodded: "I will lead the cavalry personally, and you will lead the infantry to respond. Since the other party dares to attack Luoyang, there must be many troops outside the city."

"So it would be best if we can sneak attack and defeat the opponent. If we can't attack the opponent's camp, we should at least take out the Xiliang army in Luoyang City."

The two quickly made a plan. Dong Yue led about 7000 cavalry first, and Dong Cheng led more than [-] infantry behind.Xiliang is Ma Duo, how can other princes get tens of thousands of war horses so easily.

The scouts from both sides encountered each other first. Due to Zhiyuan's usual training and a full set of leather armor, Zhiyuan's subordinates basically fought against each other.

But Zhiyuan also knew in her heart that this would definitely be a fierce battle.Because there are too many people on the other side, and although the javelin can kill the enemy at night, the deterrent effect it creates is much worse than that during the day.

Whether it's because he doesn't want to sell his teammates, or because he intends to let his subordinates compete with a strong enemy in a real sense, Zhi Yuan is definitely ready.

Of course, Zhiyuan also said to the three brothers before this: "In order to avoid excessive casualties, kill the opponent's general as soon as possible."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also nodded, and they naturally didn't want their men to suffer too many casualties.And people like them who can fight naturally focus on capturing the flag and cutting the general.

Zhiyuan rode a war horse in front of the team, and then raised a huge sword with one hand and pointed to the sky. "Let these Xiliang bastards see what our Qingzhou athletes are capable of! Soldiers, follow me!"

Zhiyuan rushed out first, because the scouts reported that the distance between the two groups of people was almost the same.Both sides speed up to hedge, basically only about a kilometer, and they can collide in less than a few minutes.

Zhiyuan started at a very fast speed, but gradually slowed down and retreated into the big team.After all, the pretense has been done, let the three Liu Bei brothers show their faces for the rest, and they can't always steal the limelight from others, right?

Don't say that the paper kite is withered, as a girl who doesn't even have a bird, how can there be any wilting.

Then came the two rounds of throwing the javelin. After all, although Hei Tian had the leader to estimate the distance, more than half of them fell in front of the opponent's cavalry for the first time.

While breaking through the air, the Xiliang army actually returned a round of crossbow throws.

In the second round, Zhiyuan's subordinates hit a man with full injuries, and the opponent lost countless people in the first few rows in an instant.But in the dark night, the Xiliang army felt that the bright place was the burning Luoyang, so they didn't know how many people died.

Naturally, many people were injured on Zhiyuan's side, but crossbows are not as lethal as javelins after all, and leather armor can also effectively reduce the penetration effect of arrows, so apart from dozens of unlucky ones, there are really not many people who fell from horses.

Then the two torrents collided together, and countless people were thrown off their feet.The spear in Zhiyuan's own hand broke off directly, and then she discarded it and chopped it with the heavy sword.

"Kill!" With a loud shout, Zhang Fei not far away took the lead and penetrated several Xiliang troops.

Guan Yu next to him also swung his sword, cutting off the bodies of several people nearby. The power of the top general is too strong.

Seeing that they had charged through the enemy formation, Zhi Yuan immediately led people to rush through the gap, and soon the two teams were in complete confusion, basically seeing the ones dressed differently from her own, and just killing them.

Dong Yue is not in front, after all, the Dong family is so powerful now, so Dong Yue is naturally flourishing.How dangerous is the front of the running team? Could it be that his Xiliang army can't beat those useless princes in Guanzhong?

The cavalry charge would have taken a long distance, especially now that there are more than 8000 people on one side.Therefore, Dong Yue's position is at the back, and when he collides with the enemy in front, it has no effect on him.

But now the enemy actually tore a hole in his team, which made Dong Yue feel very uncomfortable. "Stop them for me. They are all cavalry. Who are the Xiliang cavalry afraid of?"

"Hurry up and kill them, Captain Wang, Captain Wang will bring someone over there to have a look!" Dong Yue shouted to one of his subordinates.

The man nodded and rode forward.

After the horses galloped and collided, the entire battlefield was actually enlarged a lot, and almost ten miles or so were full of people.And after the battle area expanded, every place appeared to be very chaotic.

Captain Wang led his men to kill the three brothers, and Liu Bei shouted to the two of them, "The other party came from here, which means the enemy general may be here."

The three of them led someone to kill them here, and Captain Wang was going to stop him, but Second Master Guan raised his hand, and the unlucky kid went to get his boxed lunch.

That Dong Yue was taken aback, he found that the opponent's strength seemed to exceed his imagination, so he immediately ordered the cavalry around him to move closer to him...

But this also exposed Dong Yue's position, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu rushed forward, and before Dong Yue could react, his body was picked up by two people.

Zhang Fei grabbed a head here and laughed loudly: "Brother, I beat you this time!"

"The enemy general is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Zhang Fei's voice could be heard for several miles, and the Xiliang army suddenly became a little confused.

Chapter 220: Controlling Luoyang

Losing the commanding general, even though it was in the middle of the night, dealt a heavy blow to the Xiliang Army.After all, many of his subordinates wanted to see if his general, Dong Yue, had been killed.

So the Xiliang army's attack weakened soon after, and deserters appeared.Zhi Yuan led his men to drive them away, and immediately left some people behind, rushing to save people and gather the horses.

Horses are too expensive, and the more troubled times are, the more expensive horses become.The price of a good Liaodong horse bought by Zhiyuan has risen from [-] yuan in peacetime to nearly [-] yuan, not counting the freight.

In a battle, basically, the consumption of horses is even greater than that of soldiers.Many horses are basically useless after being beaten once, or they can only be used to pull goods as stallions, or they are simply killed for meat.

As for Xiliang, to be honest... there are all kinds of horse cavalry, and most of them are one person and one horse.After a battle, there are many unowned horses. These are considered trophies, and no one will divide the kites.

After finally coming here once, the kite actually has several purposes.The first one is to gain reputation and show your face in front of all the princes.The second is to train soldiers, and to go to Luoyang City to collect some money.

After all, Dong Zhuo had only moved in Luoyang for a month, and now there must be at least half of the things in Luoyang, and the books and bamboo slips were things that Zhiyuan must take away.

As for the jade seal, Zhi Yuan just walked by and tried it out, so she didn't care too much even if she didn't take it away.

Cavalry is the most important on the battlefield, so Zhi Yuan naturally values ​​her men very much.But it's not enough to train Zaiqiang without a few actual battles...so even if Zhiyuan feels distressed, she must be brought out to practice.

The infantry can also fight bandits and bandits in the Qingzhou border, and play siege warfare... The cavalry really don't have the opportunity to train soldiers, so they can't get off their horses to suppress bandits, isn't that a waste?

Therefore, the battle with the Xiliang Army was also considered by Zhiyuan very early on.While chasing and killing the opponent's cavalry, Zhiyuan scanned the surroundings with her eyes... There must be losses, but it is estimated that they will not be too big.

After all, the beheading of the three brothers was still very powerful. In fact, it was the beginning of the hedge, which really caused too many people to be knocked off the horse.The rest is much easier, the opponent has already collapsed and the cavalry ran very fast.

But behind Dong Yue, there is still an infantry team of 8000 people. After all, Dong Cheng's infantry is too slow behind, but the speed at which Dong Yue is defeated is too fast.

After hearing that Dong Yue was killed, Dong Cheng's first reaction was to fight the other party.No matter how bad it is, they are also members of the Dong family, and their interests are inevitable.So Dong Cheng directly ordered everyone to line up, and then gathered the nearby cavalry to fight back.

This time is actually not short at all, and Zhi Yuan also found Dong Cheng's army after chasing and killing them for a while.Guan Yu went up, hoping to let the rout troops break the opponent's formation, but Dong Cheng had some tricks, forcing his arrows to block and kill no matter which side it was.

Guan Yu was hit by an arrow in the arm, and then led his men back. "It's hard to fight, the opponent...we must gather all the soldiers." Liu Bei said to Zhiyuan according to the situation.

Zhiyuan nodded, then took out a whistle from her pocket, and blew it straight away.As soon as the whistle of the kite sounded, the sound of the whistle was immediately remembered in many places around.

For every one hundred people in a position similar to a centurion, there is one person who wears a whistle.The sound of blowing means assembly, so the scattered teams quickly assembled, and within less than a stick of incense, they all came to the vicinity of the kite.

The kite scanned it with its eyes, and there were at least 5000 more out of 3000 people... because many of Cao Cao and Sun Jian's subordinates had already been disrupted in the impact just now, and the kite made them fall again. Hundreds of people gathered their horses.

3000 people are enough... The cavalry of course restrained the infantry, and Dong Cheng's men took some wooden boards as shields at most.Defense against arrows may be okay, but defense against javelins is definitely not enough.

And there are still several miles in between, and it won't pose a threat to the kite for more than half an hour.On Zhiyuan's side, an average cavalryman carries six short javelins. After using some in the past, there are still an average of two or three javelins.

Well... when many people are chasing the enemy or fighting each other, they also use them as short soldiers or throw them directly.But Zhiyuan believed that those Xiliang soldiers who had never seen anything in the market would probably be able to collapse the opponent in two rounds of throwing.

So 3000 people quickly assembled, and then they were ready to rush over.

But at this time, suddenly the west gate of Luoyang City opened, and many Xiliang troops began to pour out from there.The battle in Luoyang City was basically won by Cao Cao.

After receiving Hua Xiong's support, the entire coalition army broke out a powerful attack momentum. After all, Hua Xiong was a man on the line between first-rate and second-rate generals, and he was very comfortable fighting against the group of second-rate generals in Xiliang.

So after they gradually couldn't bear it anymore, Xu Rong and the others thought... open the west door and run.So the Xiliang army set fire to many houses on the side of the road to block the attack of the coalition forces, and controlled the west gate to open the door and prepare to run away.

The first few gates were controlled by the gentry. After the fight broke out, the Xiliang army took over, but because it was too dark outside, it was unclear what happened. That is to say, they heard the sound of fighting, and Zhiyuan and the others were also more than ten miles outside the city. where.

After the latter group of people left Luoyang, Xu Rong felt that something was wrong. "It is reasonable to say that it has been a long time. There is no reason why the reinforcements in Luoyang who are fighting in such a way are not aware of it."

"That means the coalition army still has an army here!" Xu Rong thought for a while... and gathered more than 2000 cavalry, and then many infantry quickly marched west.

Zhi Yuan also found out about the situation, so they can't deal with Dong Cheng first, but have to go back and deal with Xu Rong.So he led people immediately, and when Xu Rong's cavalry hadn't accelerated, he killed the opponent by surprise.

After two rounds of throwing, Xu Rong's cavalry also suffered heavy losses.

And soon... As the Xiliang Army in Luoyang City became less and less, some people from the coalition army came out with soldiers.

This was a complete melee. Zhi Yuan led the cavalry to wander around and entangle the opponent after charging, and the infantry who followed them fought into a group again.

The battle lasted until the morning of the next day before the Xiliang army left the battlefield and retreated slowly.Later on, the battle was not as intense as it was at the beginning. At the beginning, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and everyone behind them felt a little distressed.

But... just this night, the casualties of the coalition forces reached nearly 5000, and more than [-] of them died.
