Chapter 518

Although Chen Liu and Zhang Miao wanted to save him, he didn't have many soldiers. In addition, he didn't have any generals who could handle him, so he was dwarfed by Cao Jun. In Yuzhou, Kongyu is even more afraid to move now.

Not to mention that there is a Cao Cao in the west, the news came from the south. Two days ago, Yuan Shu took Le Jiu as the main general, Li Feng as the deputy general, Yuan Yin as the army, led 20000 heavy infantry, and 40000 ordinary soldiers. A total of 60000 troops suddenly appeared in Shouchun. With the help of local aristocrats, they took control of the whole Jiujiang county at one stroke. The next day, Lu Jiang prefect Liu Xun announced to join Yuan Shu. Later, Yuan Yin led the Jiujiang prefect and ordered le to reorganize his troops. Together with Liu Xun, he gathered 40000 soldiers and Chen soldiers in Yangquan, Lujiang, to fight in Runan.

This time, Yuzhou Kongzhou even more dare not move, ordered Runan prefect Xu Jing to gather troops to prepare to fight Yuan Shu army northward. In this way, the three allies are all self-care, let alone support Luoyang. For this reason, Kong didn't specially send someone to Luoshen town to inform Chen Jing. At the same time, he hinted that if Huangfu Chaobo couldn't stay in Luoyang, he would try his best to preserve his strength and withdraw to Guandong, and then he could go to Luoyang again. Unfortunately, in the beginning, although Huangfu Chaobo arranged the back road, he didn't pay attention to it completely. But now, to this extent, this idea is floating in Huangfu Chaobo's mind again.

You know, although we can hold on for a short time now, without foreign aid, even if we can hold on for a short time, we will still fail in the end. Yes, since it's a task, and it's a link in the middle of a series of tasks, then the task should not have no solution, but how to solve it? All of a sudden, Huangfu Chaobo fell into deep thinking. For a moment, the three people in the assembly hall of the prefect's mansion fell into deep thinking. The assembly hall was as quiet as no one.

While several people in Huangfu Chaobo were pondering, the fighters on the outer wall of Luoyang were in full swing. Outside the east gate, Zhang Yang's army has begun the first round of attack. Facing the Luoyang army on the city wall, Zhang Yang brought all the other 40000 troops except 10000 troops who stayed in Ping county and camped outside the east gate. After arranging 10000 troops to guard the camp, Zhang Yang led 30000 troops directly to attack the east wall of Luoyang.

Because they arrived outside Luoyang a few days earlier than Nanyang army, Hanoi army's siege equipment was well prepared. After getting the news that Nanyang army had launched an attack, Zhang Yang also ordered to launch an attack on the east gate of Luoyang. Fortunately, Huang Zhong quickly adjusted his defense plan, so that Dongmen did not fall in the first round of attack. However, Dongmen lost more than 1500 intermediate soldiers at one time. Of course, Hanoi army lost more than 3000. The north gate also launched an attack shortly after the war between the east gate and the west gate. However, Leibo did not attack the city on a large scale. He only launched a tentative attack and then harassed it.

It's not that he didn't want to. It's true that he only led 20000 troops. First, the camp has not yet been set up. Second, the siege equipment has not been prepared, so he can only contain harassment. The battle of Ximen is the most fierce place in Luoyang. From the beginning of the attack in the afternoon to the end of the day when Ji Ling ordered the troops to withdraw, Nanyang army launched two rounds of attacks. Although Huang Zhong finally repulsed them, they achieved this on the premise of losing 3000 soldiers. Of course, Nanyang army lost a lot, more than 7000 soldiers.

In the evening, after Huang Zhong had arranged the defense at the head of the city, he rushed to the prefect's residence to report the day's war situation to Huangfu Chaobo. Seeing that there were more than 3000 casualties in one day, Huangfu Chaobo was very surprised. In fact, it took less than half a day to fight, and there were already 3000 casualties. You know, except for 25000 new soldiers, there were actually less than 40000 troops in Luoyang City, and thousands of them were the personal guards of Huangfu Chaobo, and nearly 10% of them were lost in half a day. In this way, Luoyang would be without soldiers in a few days.

Although the enemy troops also lost 7000 people, the Nanyang army and Hanoi army have a total of 150000 troops, which is less than half of the loss. The advantage of military forces made Luoyang fall into an extremely unfavorable situation. In the face of the loss reported by Huang Zhong, Huangfu and Chaobo fell into silence again.

Just at this time, Shi a came in and said, "Lord, shadow has received the news from Longhua and today's battle report from Hangu pass." With that, Shi a handed the two pieces of news to Huangfu Chaobo.

Huangfu Chaobo took it over, thinking that Luoyang is already in a mess now, and the other two places are probably in a mess, alas... However, with this in mind, I opened the above message first. It was the battle report of Hangu pass. Zao only said in the war report that Lv Bu's army had learned that Nanyang army and Hanoi army had begun to attack Luoyang City, so they also increased their attack on Hangu pass. Today, the casualties in Hangu pass have doubled compared with yesterday. At present, the strength of Hangu pass has been reduced by 5000 or 6000 people. Zao only requests to transfer troops from Gucheng to support Hangu pass.

Sure enough, seeing Zao Zhi's war report, Huangfu Chaobo said in his heart, I knew that the situation of Hangu pass was not much better, and he was asking for reinforcements again. After handing the news to Tian Feng, who is closest to him, Huangfu Chaobo opens the news from Longhua, thinking that there must be nothing good.

Who knows? As soon as he saw the news above, Huangfu Chaobo jumped up and yelled: "ha ha ha..."

The rest of them were shocked. They thought that Longhua had not been able to keep it, which made Huangfu Chaobo feel stimulated. Just as he was about to ask, Huangfu Chaobo said, "good news, brother, Zilong is back... Ha ha ha... Zilong is back"Well!" Huang Zhong immediately stood up and said, "really? Where is he now? "

Huangfu Chaobo happily raised the news in his hand and said: "Xiaoxu, the news they sent back said that Zilong arrived at our original horse training base yesterday morning. Xiaohuyanda has told Zilong about our situation, and has given Zilong my letter of appointment. Although Zilong is not happy, he has accepted our situation for the time being. Several of them decided to discuss with Gongsun Yue and prepare to attack Xianbei Army today. If Gongsun disagrees, they will arrange Zilong to lead 3000 cavalry 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 to several other people. When people heard that Zhao Yun was not inferior to Huang Zhong, they were very happy.
