Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

Chapter 535: Retreat to Luoyang Inner City

When everyone at the scene heard it, like a hornet that had exploded, the study rang out with a "buzzing..." sound.

"Master," Yang Hong stepped forward, "Regardless of the reason, we must retake Luyang as soon as possible, otherwise, over time, General Ji Ling's army will be defeated without a fight."

"Yes, it's just that Wancheng has only 30,000 troops. If you want to recapture Luyang, you need at least 50,000 to 80,000 troops. In this case, you must draw troops from the counties, and you must send the city to recruit the army again. Soldiers, this time the 30,000 elites in Wancheng should not be moved lightly. It will take time for soldiers and horses to gather in each city. Please also ask the lord to order immediately." Yan Xiang stepped forward;

"The final general is willing to lead troops to retake Luyang for the lord!" Zhang Xun hurried forward when he saw this;

The other generals saw that Zhang Xun had already taken the lead. Although helpless, they still stood up to fight.

Yuan Shu looked at it and said with joy: "Okay, the generals will move forward bravely, and I am afraid that the little Luyang will not go down. The order goes on, Nanyang cities, keep a thousand elite guards, and other soldiers and horses will be transferred within two days. When the pheasant counties converge, each city can recruit new soldiers and make up 5,000 soldiers and horses. After gathering 60,000 troops, Zhang Xun is ordered to be the chief general and Chen Ji is the deputy, leading the troops to Luyang, regaining Luyang County within five days, and the rest The soldiers are used to supplement Wanxian soldiers and horses."

"The final commander!" Zhang Xun and Chen Ji happily stepped forward to take the command.

The other generals all looked at the two with envy. In everyone's eyes, an army of 60,000 attacked a small county town, just around the corner. Not only the generals but also Yuan Shu also thought that Zhang Xun’s expedition was a matter of hand. However, Lu Yang’s fall gave Yuan Shu a wake-up call. Wancheng had only 30,000 soldiers and horses, which seemed unsafe, so I took this opportunity. Take the opportunity to call out all the elite soldiers in the county below. There are 37 cities under the rule of Nanyang. Except for the southernmost counties that are controlled by Jingzhou Mu Liubiao, the other 28 counties are under the control of Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu has drawn the army twice, each city There are still an army ranging from four to five thousand.

In this way, Yuan Shu can draw 60,000 to 80,000 troops from each city. Except for the 60,000 troops taken away by Zhang Xun, there are 20,000 troops that can be added to Wancheng. In this way, the number of Wancheng defenders can reach 50,000. , As long as there are no accidents, it is enough to hold on for half a year under the attack of a hundred thousand army. However, the need to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in more than two dozen cities is indeed not a day’s work. It was not until Yuan Shu set the deadline that Zhang Xun gathered fifty thousand troops, but Yuan Shu could not wait, so he ordered Zhang Xun to lead the army first. The other 30,000 armies will be replenished to Wancheng first.

Let’s look back at the battle in Luoyang. Since the Luoyang cavalry sent troops to destroy the Nanyang Army’s siege equipment, the soldiers were tired because of the lack of equipment and the siege for many days, so Ji Ling stopped siege for a day and the army rested. However, the craftsman camp is stepping up the manufacture of siege equipment. However, because the production of the catapult is much more difficult than the siege ladder and the well fence, Ji Ling simply stopped the production of the catapult. What he did not expect was that this was exactly what the Luoyang defenders wanted.

In the evening, Huangfu Chaobo received the results of the war in Longhua Town. The war in Longhua made everyone very happy. It was unexpected that the war in Longhua went so smoothly. After learning that Zhao Yun had already led 6,000 and 20,000 horses to Starry Night, everyone was relieved. As a result, Pang Tong’s second strategy was perfect. A few days later, Zhang Yang’s tens of thousands of troops It is no longer a threat to Luoyang. Immediately, Huangfu Chaobo sent Pang Tong's plan on the Luoyang war to Longhua and Zhaojiacun, and also sent the appointment to promote Zhao Yun to Yingyang Zhongying. At the same time, in the evening, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Hu Yandu to lead four thousand tiger and cardinal cavalry out of the city quietly from the south gate, and then set up the cavalry in Gongxian County, waiting to join Zhao Yun's army.

The next day, as the Nanyang Army did not attack the city, the Hanoi Army also took a day off, and the whole Luoyang fell into a strange silence.

On the third day, after the two princes had rested for a day, they attacked the Luoyang city wall again, only to find that the entire outer city wall was empty. At first, the main generals who attacked the walls thought it was a trick by the Luoyang defenders, but after repeated confirmation, they discovered that the Luoyang army had retreated through the inner city. Combining the Luoyang army's desperate move to destroy the Nanyang army’s siege equipment the day before, Ji Ling came to the conclusion that the defending army could not support it for long. After that, Ji Ling spread the news throughout the army. It rose by nearly ten points in an instant.

In the afternoon, the four walls of the outer city of Luoyang fell into the hands of the two princes, and then the army drove into the city of Luoyang, preparing to organize troops and horses to attack the inner city. But when he entered the city, Ji Ling found that things were not as simple as he thought. The entire outer city was still in ruins. Even the main road of the outer city was destroyed by the Luoyang army so that it could not march at all, let alone It's transporting siege equipment to the city. Unable to do so, the army of several groups entering the city, while arranging the road, slowly advancing towards the inner city. As a result, this alley took two days. When the army entered the attack distance and was ready to attack the inner city, it happened to be the day when Zhou Tai led the army to attack Luyang.

After two days of high morale clearing up the road, it returned to the state it had when it attacked Luoyang. It took two days for the two armies of the princes to finally attack the inner city, but when they were about to go to war in the morning, the four generals discovered that the city heads on both sides of the four gate towers had stood up overnight. There are dozens of well fences, and every two well fences are separated by a distance of fifty steps. There are nearly 20 on each side. Counting this, there are more than 100 well fences on the four walls. This change made everyone stunned. Although helpless, Ji Ling still issued an offensive order. After a low sound of the horn sounded, the drums of the four walls rang one after another. Knowing that the subsequent attack would not be too easy, the two armies of the princes still launched an attack on the inner city wall without hesitation.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, although the inner city's moat was far less wide than the outer city, just filling in five siege passages cost the Nanyang Army in the West City nearly a thousand soldiers. This shows how fierce the defense of the city is. Even so, after the siege tunnel was filled in, Ji Ling quickly ordered the siege soldiers to start the ant-attached city attack. With an order, the siege ladder attacked the city under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers. At the same time, The siege truck and Jinglan that had been transported into the city in the past two days also began to drive towards the city wall under the **** of soldiers.
