Chapter 1740 Luo Yang Falls in the Decisive Battle

There was a bitter smile on the corner of Pang Xi's mouth: "In the past, His Majesty burned Luoyang once, and now there are still many people in the city complaining to His Majesty. If we burn it again now, we will have to pay more attention to the people of Luoyang City in the future." In other words, it is like an executioner!"

Xu Shu's face was also a little cold, but he looked very determined, and said: "I don't want to go this far, but if Luoyang is destined to fall, then Luoyang can't be left to them, Luoyang's food, weapons, and other things The reserve is the key to the war, since we can't take it away, we can only burn it!"

Pang Xi didn't speak anymore.

As a general, in fact, he should be more determined towards this kind of thing, but this place in Luoyang always makes him a little soft-hearted.

However, he finally understood the importance of this war.

So once it came to the final point, even if Xu Shu didn't want to do it, he would do it and burn Luoyang City again.

Never leave a grain of food to the enemy.

This is a very firm determination.

"Not yet!"

Pang Xidao: "I still have some hopes of repelling them. I have two battalions left in the cavalry army. I will rush there tomorrow at the most, or even this afternoon. At that time, I will concentrate the strength of a cavalry army. In the suburbs, I may not be able to entangle with them for a while! "

His troops have arrived one after another.

There is a full cavalry army, but there are more than 1 troops, and as the elite among the elite, their combat effectiveness is even stronger.

Although it is difficult to fight against tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there is still hope for containing them.

"Don't give them too many chances!"

Xu Shu thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said to Pang Xi: "General Pang, how about this? In the afternoon, you should let the cavalry go out of the city to fight, mainly attacking the formation of the Wei army. At least divide the troops into two groups. One way is a feint attack, and the other side is the main force. A camp without a foothold is naturally the best, if it cannot be scattered by the impact, then it will be returned immediately!"

He pointed to the outside of the city, and said in a cold voice: "They are preparing to attack the city, but the cooperation between the Wei army and the Yan army may not be perfect. I have to see if the Wei army is willing to send troops to reinforce the Yan army, and whether the Yan army is willing to do so." What about sending troops to reinforce them?"

At this time, his own strength was too weak, so Xu Shu could only find a way from the enemy's formation.

Among the two armies outside the city, the Yan Army and the Wei Army each have their own generals, but there must be some conflicts in this kind of military command.

If their conflicts can be amplified and their conflicts expanded, then perhaps Luoyang City can still hold some possibility.

"it is good!"

Pang Xi nodded.

During the successive battles in Luoyang City, he had already gotten along with Xu Shu, and he had begun to trust Xu Shu's abilities and strategies.

He trusted Xu Shu.

So Xu Shu came up with suggestions, even if he didn't have much confidence and needed to take risks, he was willing to try.

..............................

outside the city.

At the east gate, along the direction of the Yellow River, Wei Jun is building a camp.

They led the troops and quickly joined the battle. After several consecutive battles, they were exhausted, but they still hadn't gained a foothold.

There are no camps, no fortifications, and no guard posts. Even when they sleep at night, every soldier has to hold their weapons and cannot remove their armor, worrying day and night.

So they need to build a camp to give themselves a short-term foothold.

Wei Jun is an elite soldier, and the speed of building the camp is very fast. In half a day, the trenches have been dug, and the tents in the middle have also been quickly completed.

Xia Houyuan came over wearing armor and a hip sword, inspecting the construction of the camp, and couldn't help looking at Luoyang City in front of him.

"General, the scout captain is back!"

"pass!"

"Yes!"

Captain Scout is a thin young man. Despite his size, he is not very strong, but his swordsmanship and archery skills rank first in the army, and his light work is decisive, and his steps are light, so he was promoted by Xia Houyuan as a scout The school lieutenant, commander of the scout battalion.

He walked in quickly from the outside, walking as if there was no sound. After entering, he bowed his hands and saluted, and then said: "Report to General Xiahou, the gates around Luoyang City have always been closed, and our scouts have come as close as possible, but It is always difficult to get close to the inner city, so the investigation of the troops in the city of the Ming army has not been completely clear, but there are some sources that the troops in the city are pieced together, either some logistics soldiers, or some young and strong, However, under the state of closure of the city, the news inside and outside the city is not equal, and it is difficult for us to judge whether the news is accurate!"

"Continue to inquire, even if you pay more, you must find out their presence in the city, so that you can know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle!"

"Yes!"

The scout captain continued: "We don't know much about the situation in the city, but we have found out the number and origin of their cavalry!"

"Tell me about their cavalry!" Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes.

This team of cavalry almost cut off their own horses. This time, they have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and it can be regarded as a very thrilling time.

This made him very impressed with the chief general of this cavalry.

"Yes!"

The scout captain hurriedly said: "General, it is rumored that this cavalry force was established during the war with the Xiongnu in the Northern Territory of Xiliang. Just generals!"

He thought for a while, and continued: "The cavalry of the Ming army are very fast, equipped with one man and two horses. This kind of combat power is limited in the city and cannot be used. So I guess, they will go out of the city to fight!"

"It makes sense!"

Xia Houyuan's eyes lit up, and he said: "The scouts are sent out for thirty miles, if there is any disturbance, no matter which direction it is, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

The scout captain took the order and left.

Xia Houyuan walked back and forth for a while, he felt a little unsure about the offensive and defensive battle of Luoyang City, even though he led the elite, he still had the main force of the Yan Army by his side.

But for the Ming army, he still has a heart of fear.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to join hands with the Yan army more deeply, so as to ensure that the main force of the Wei army would not become the main direction of the Ming army's attack.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"I have a secret letter here, and send it to the general of the Yan army, Gongsun Du, as soon as possible!" Xia Houyuan sealed the secret letter and handed it to a personal guard.

"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.

................................................

On the outskirts of Luoyang, in the southeast direction, there is an established camp. The camp is tall and well defended. It is located under a mountain, backed by a mountain, and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Above this camp, a Gongsun battle flag was flying.

This is the Liaodong Army under Gongsun Du's command.

Liaodong surrendered to Liu Bei back then, but Gongsun Du was somewhat unwilling in his heart. It was only because of the current situation that he had no choice but to become Liu Bei's general.

But Liu Bei's methods were too powerful. Under the gentle wind and drizzle, Gongsun Du was no match at all. Gradually, he began to lose control of Liaodong.

The foundation of the Liaodong Army is Liaodong. If he lost control of Liaodong, he would lose his ambition and supremacy. So when he realized it, he was firmly in control of the Liaodong Army.

If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, when Ma Fang Nanshan, he would naturally be envied and feared by the monarch when he seized military power like this. However, in this chaotic world, he seemed to be somewhat important.

Liu Bei's control over Gongsundu is very good. Giving Gongsundu control over the defense of the Liaodong Army is also a smooth sailing. As long as Gongsundu does not have the ability to basically raise troops, then he is not afraid of Gongsundu's rebellion.

Continue to let Gongsundu control the Liaodong Army, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army. If anyone controls the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army may lose control.

Relatively speaking, Liu Bei only needs to control Gongsundu. As long as Gongsundu does not rebel, he can tolerate many things.

After all, he needs Gongsun Du to complete his grand plan for him.

Gongsun Du looks a bit refined, he is sitting on the bamboo mat, reading a volume of books in his hands, reading with gusto.

"Lord!"

A middle-aged general walked in and bowed his hands directly.

Although Gongsundu returned to Liu Bei, his subordinates still respected and obeyed him absolutely like a lord.

"Old Liu, here you come, sit down!"

Gongsun Du was a little casual.

This general is his confidant and favorite general, Liu Yi, the general he relies on more.

"My lord, Wei Jun sent someone to send a secret letter!"

Liu Yi was strict in doing things, very upright, as if turning a blind eye to Gongsun Du's casualness, and directly handed over a secret letter.

"Secret letter from Wei Jun?"

Gongsun Du slightly sneered, and said: "When they attacked, they didn't think of XX, but now they think of XX!"

The Wei army had just arrived and launched a direct attack. It was so fierce that even the Liaodong army had to stay away.

Moreover, the record of the Liaodong Army was a bit ugly, which also made Gongsun Du feel a little uncomfortable in front of the Wei Army.

At the beginning, the Liaodong Army used Hulao Pass aggressively to enter Luoyang City. However, they suffered a lot under Luoyang City.

The cavalrymen of the Ming army were elusive, and they were even more terrifying than those cavalrymen he faced with Wuhuan back then. When they attacked the camp, he almost broke down.

After several days in a row, he was almost beaten without any temper.

The arrival of the Wei army at this time was considered good news for Gongsundu, but he did not expect that the Wei army was so entrusted with it that it launched an attack before it could gain a firm foothold.

As a result, the cavalry of the Ming army almost came to a center to bloom.

Almost all the generals were dismounted from their horses.

Fortunately, the Wei army finally has some strength, otherwise this Wei army may collapse.

"My lord, now that we are in the Central Plains, we still need to pay more attention. We must not make too many enemies. Now that Wei Jun has sent a secret letter, he must have an idea!"

Liu Yi said: "No matter what we say, we are also on the same boat. The Ming army is our enemy, and the Wei army is not!"

"Not always!"

Gongsun Du put down the book in his hand, and said in a low voice: "You think the Ming army is our enemy, but I think the Central Plains are our enemy!"

He sighed: "Liu Bei just wants me to be a knife, whether it's Cao Cao or the Ming army, how can they think highly of someone!"

Gongsun Du's ability is not lacking, otherwise it would be impossible to occupy Liaodong and establish himself as king, but his character is a bit inferior, especially when facing the heroes of the Central Plains, he more or less feels that he is not in the same class.

"My lord, at this moment, we are not their enemies!"

Liu Yi shook his head.

"Then see what they say!" Gongsundu opened the secret letter, looked carefully, and asked with a faint smile, "Old Liu, do you know what that fellow said?"

"say what?"

Liu Yi asked.

"He is very ambitious and wants to attack at night!"

Gongsundu handed the secret letter to Liu Yi: "Xia Houyuan is also a well-known general in the Wei army, but why do I think this person is so simple!"

"Maybe he is testing the lord!"

Liu Yi thought about it, and said: "My lord, you must not underestimate this person. How could it be so easy for a general like Cao Cao to rely on? He will suffer only because of his hard work. If he wants to build a camp, come and contact us now." To attack, if you have a heart, you must have a plan!"

"Explore a certain house?"

Gongsun Du narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to examine in his heart: "Why did he test a certain family?"

"Maybe it's to avoid worries!"

Liu Yi said in a low voice: "My lord, maybe he doesn't pay attention to our military strength, but he should be worried, once they attack the city, will we be disadvantageous to them!"

He sighed and said: "Although our army surrendered to Liu Bei, many people in the world know that the lord may not surrender to Liu Bei, so this person wants to see if the lord has the heart to attack Luoyang. If not, then They will inevitably change their strategic deployment, and they may have to hold us back at that time!"

"He thinks so much?"

Gongsundu sneered.

"Otherwise!" Liu Yi thought for a while, and said: "People from the Central Plains, even if they are just a general, are not allowed to be in the same group. We entered the customs from Liaodong and went south all the way. The generals we met will be good!"

"Right!"

Gongsun Du said: "When I was young, I traveled to the Central Plains. I know a lot about the talented people in the Central Plains, and I am in awe of them!"

"So my lord, we may have to make a statement. If we can't calm down this person's temptation, it's hard to gain trust!" Liu Yi said in a low voice.

"Let someone think about it!"

Gongsundu became silent.

..............................

In the afternoon, the sun began to set, and the Luoyang city gate suddenly opened. After the city gate opened, cavalrymen galloped out of the city.

"kill!"

The cavalry charged like thunder and went straight to the Wei barracks.

"How brave!"

Xia Houyuan stood on the newly built gate, his eyes were like lightning, staring ahead, looking at the galloping cavalry: "Send my military order, all soldiers and horses gather, and defend against the enemy!"

"Defend the enemy!"

"Defend the enemy!"

Wei Jun began to gather.
