Although Chen Liu and Zhang Miao had the intention to rescue him, Chen Liu had not many soldiers and horses. In addition, there were no generals who could handle them, and he was pale in comparison to Cao Jun. As for Kong Ni in Yuzhou, he was even more afraid to move now.

Let’s not mention that there is a Cao Cao there in the west. There is news from the south. Two days ago, Yuan Shu was the main general with Le, Li Feng as the deputy, Yuan Yin as the army, leading the heavy infantry of 20,000, and the ordinary soldiers with a total of 40,000 and 60,000. The army suddenly appeared in Shouchun, and with the help of the local tycoons, they took control of the entire Jiujiang County in one fell swoop. The next day, Lujiang Prefect Liu Xun announced to take refuge in Yuan Shu. Later, Yuan Yin led the Jiujiang prefect and ordered Le to rectify the soldiers and horses. Together with Liu Xun, they gathered forty thousand soldiers.

At this time, Yuzhou Kong Ni was even more afraid to move, and ordered Runan Prefect Xu Jing to gather troops and horses to meet Yuan Shujun's northward movement. In this way, the three allies are self-conscious, not to mention supporting Luoyang. For this reason, Kong Ni did not specifically send someone to Luoshen Town to inform Chen Jing, and at the same time hinted that Chen Jing, if Huangfu Chaobo can't keep it in Luoyang, try to preserve his strength, withdraw to Guandong, and then visit Luoyang again. It's a pity that although Huangfu Chaobo had arranged a way out at the beginning, he didn't fully care about it, but now that it has reached this level, this idea has once again come to Huangfu Chaobo's heart.

You must know that although it can be held in a short time now, if there are no external reinforcements, even if it can be held in a short time, it will eventually fail. Yes, since it is a task and a link in the middle of a series of tasks, then the task should not be unsolvable, but how to crack it? Huangfu Chaobo suddenly fell into deep thought. For a while, all three people in the prefectural council chamber fell into deep thought, and the chamber was as quiet as no one.

While Huangfu Chaobo and a few people were meditating, the fighter jets on the wall outside Luoyang were advancing like fire. Outside the east gate, Zhang Yang's army had already begun the first round of offensive. Facing the Luoyang army on the city wall, Zhang Yang had brought all the 40,000 army, except for the 10,000 army left in Ping County, and set up camp outside the east gate. After arranging an army of 10,000 to guard the camp, Zhang Yang led an army of 30,000 and launched an attack on the east wall of Luoyang.

Because it was a few days before the Nanyang Army to the outskirts of Luoyang, the Hanoi Army’s siege equipment was fully prepared. After receiving the news that the Nanyang Army had launched an attack, Zhang Yang also ordered an attack on the east gate of Luoyang. Fortunately, Huang Zhong quickly adjusted the defense plan so that Dongmen did not fall in the first round of offensive. However, it also made Dongmen lose more than 1,500 mid-level soldiers at one time. Of course, the Hanoi Army. The loss was even greater, with nearly three thousand people. The North Gate also launched an attack shortly after the east and west gates began to fight. However, Lei Bo did not attack the city in a big way, only harassed after launching a tentative attack.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it was true that he only led 20,000 soldiers, a large camp had not been established, and secondly, the siege equipment was not prepared, so he could only contain harassment. The battle at Ximen was the fiercest place in Luoyang. From the beginning of the offensive in the afternoon, until the weather ordered Wan Jiling to retreat, the Nanyang Army launched two rounds of offensive. Although they were both repelled by Huang Zhong, they were obtained with the loss of three thousand soldiers. Of course, The losses of the Nanyang Army were not small, with more than 7,000 soldiers lost.

In the evening, after Huang Zhong arranged the defense of the city, he hurried to the Prefect's Mansion and reported the day's battle to Huangfu Chaobo. Seeing that there were more than 3,000 casualties in one day, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help being shocked. In fact, it only took less than half a day to fight, and there were already 3,000 casualties. You know, excluding the 25,000 new pawns, Luoyang City’s force actually only has less than 40,000 troops, and thousands of them are Huangfu Chao. Bo's guards lost nearly 10% in half a day. If they went down like this, Luoyang would have no soldiers available in a few days.

Although the enemy army also lost 7,000 men, the Nanyang army plus the Hanoi army totaled 150,000 troops. If you count it, the loss is less than half. The superiority of troops put Luoyang into an extremely unfavorable situation. Facing the loss reported by Huang Zhong, the three of Huangfu Chaobo fell into silence again.

At this moment, Shi A walked in and said: "Master, Shadow has received the news from Longhua, and the report of Hangu Pass today." With that, Shi A handed the two messages in his hand. Huangfu Chaobo.

Huangfu Chaobo took it over, thinking that Luoyang is already in a scorch, and the other two places are also in a bad mess, alas. . . However, thinking so in my heart, he opened the above message first, which was the battle report of Hangu Pass. Zaozhi said in the battle report that Lu Bu's army had learned that the Nanyang Army and the Hanoi Army had begun to attack Luoyang City, so they had also increased their attack on Hangu Pass. The casualties at Hangu Pass today have doubled from yesterday. Now the troops of Hangu Pass have lost five or six thousand people, and Zaozhi asked to transfer troops from Gucheng to support Hangu Pass.

Sure enough, seeing Zaozhi's battle report, Huangfu Chaobo said in his heart, I knew that the Hangu Pass was not much better, and I was asking for reinforcements again. Passing the news in his hand to Empress Tian Feng, who was closest to him, Huangfu Chaobo opened the news from Longhua again, thinking that there must be nothing good.

Who knew that when he saw the above news, Huangfu Chaobo jumped up and shouted, "Hahaha..."

The other people were startled, thinking that Longhua had not been able to hold on, which stimulated Huangfu Chaobo. When he was about to ask, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Brother, good news, Zilong is back... Hahaha... Zilong is back..."

"Yeah!" Huang Zhong heard this, and stood up immediately: "Really? Where is he now?"

Huangfu Chaobo happily raised the news in Yang's hand and said: "Xiao Xu and they came back with news that Zilong arrived at our original horse training base yesterday morning, and Xiao Hu Yanda has asked Zilong to talk about our situation. , And handed over my appointment letter to Zilong. Although Zilong was a little unhappy, he accepted our situation temporarily. Several of them discussed and decided to go to discuss with Gongsun Yue and prepare to face the Xianbei army today. Launch an attack. If Gongsun disagrees, they will arrange for Zilong to lead three thousand cavalry back to Luoyang."

Huangfu Chaobo read the news of Longhua and handed it to Huang Zhong. While Huang Zhong was watching, Huangfu Chaobo introduced Zhao Yun's situation to several others. When everyone heard that Zhao Yun was not God-level generals who were weaker than Huang Zhong were extremely happy when they were.
