A general who was only seven feet tall and had a somewhat ugly face showed a look of difficulty.

"General Zi Lian, our army only took 5,000 soldiers to set off. In this forest, those who were accidentally injured by traps, those who were attacked by wild animals at night, those who fell on the cliff when walking on the cliff three days ago, and those who died of illness, etc. A total of more than 800 brothers were killed or injured, and a group of brothers were left to take care of the wounded. The most 4,000 people could fight against Gao Shun, are there some...?"

The general with a national face said: "Don't worry, what we bring this time is a brave and powerful man with thousands of choices, enough to be ten. Moreover, the battlefield is dominated by Yuan Shu and Liu He's army. We are just supporting him from the side. Meng De has already made arrangements for this matter, so Wen Qian doesn't have to worry."

The short general raised his eyebrows: "My wise, our army will win this battle."

"Well, but I still have to be careful. As expected by several military advisors, Yuan Shu has nearly 100,000 troops, and has been tricked by Gao Shu and others these days. If there is no accident, they will have a real decisive battle tomorrow. If there is no help from us, Yuan Shu's army will be defeated this time."

"General Cao's words are reasonable. In the battle tomorrow, the last general will be happy. It depends entirely on the general's dispatch."

"I'll tell my brothers to eat and drink tonight, have a good rest, and then cut off a thick tree trunk to use as a tool to knock it into a tool. I will use all my strength tomorrow and follow me, Cao Hong, to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

The next day, the sun was not far from the middle of the sky.

Ji Ling, west of Luoyang City, and Lei Chu outside Hulao Pass, were very surprised to see that no one came out to attack today.

At first, they thought there was something conspiracy, so they did not dare to act rashly. At this time, the troops on both sides finally couldn't hold back.

"After all, they have few soldiers. They will definitely be exhausted when fighting for several days. Therefore, it is difficult to fight again today. It is time for our army to attack."

The two finally mustered up the courage to lead the army and launch another attack.

Although morale has been extremely depressed, "there must be a brave man under heavy rewards." After the two generals' commitment to reward, most of the soldiers still raised some fighting will.

Ji Ling led his army to attack Luoyang City. The Shishen Crossbows, Zhao Yun, Deng Yuan and Dameng in the city, went out of the city from time to time to harass and cover up the killing, which really made Ji Ling's army suffer a headache.

On the city wall, Xun Yu and Cui Jun came to supervise the battle in person.

Cui Jun said confidently: "Ji Ling thought he was so smart about his trick. A small group of troops pretended to detour and sneak attacked the South Gate. After that, the large army continued to attack the West Gate. He was so clumsy that he could do it."

Xun Yu said: "In today's battle, most of the main force in Yuzhou will be wiped out. After the spring begins, the lord's plan will destroy most of the troops in Jizhou. By then, our army will grow stronger and divide our troops into two groups to take Hebei and Henan. Then the situation in the world will be clear and no one can compete with the lord. The Han Dynasty will be revived, and it will be just around the corner."

His words made everyone feel excited.

However, at this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over here from the east side of the city wall.

"Reporting General Gao, suddenly a team of people came to attack the city at the east gate of the city!"

Everyone was surprised.

"Is there something wrong with Hulao Pass?" Cui Jun asked hurriedly.

Gao Shun asked the soldier: "How many enemy troops?"

"The general, the enemy's army was only about 4,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were infantry and no armor. The weapons were swords, guns, swords and halberds, and they were all in one place. The one used to attack the city was just a thick trunk."

"trunk?"

This made everyone even more surprised.

Deng Yuan guessed: "Can they be the bandits nearby?"

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "My brother Ziyang is right. This is definitely not an army. There are continuous mountains in the south of the city, or if the bandits see wars outside the city, they take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

Xun Yu shook his head repeatedly: "It is absolutely impossible. After the lord occupied Luoyang, he sent several troops to sweep away the bandits around Luoyang and Chang'an. The county soldiers and county soldiers of each county in Sili often went out to inspect. Even if there were fish that were missing, only a few thousand people, how could they dare to stay near Luoyang? After the lord came, whether in the city or in the countryside, he had never heard of bandits robbing. How could the bandits survive?"

He lowered his head and asked the soldier: "How powerful is the enemy's combat power?"

The soldier recalled and said, "These soldiers are all strong and fast-moving. The leaders are two bandit leaders who command and dispatch, and they are quite strategic. The Jingshen Crossbows from the East Gate are all transferred to the West Gate. There are only more than a thousand soldiers guarding the city. The opponent's offensive is extremely strong. I am afraid that they will fall soon. I also ask the general and military advisor to launch reinforcements as soon as possible."

"These thieves are so brave. Please ask the military advisor to send me five hundred cavalry. The last general will kill them without leaving any armor!" Deng Yuan raised his spear and volunteered.

"Don't be reckless." Xun Yu stopped him.

"The other party is obviously prepared, and these 4,000 troops are not easy. All our troops and horses have been put into battle, and there is no free time. The battle situation is now in favor of our army. This group of people suddenly emerges and must be related to Yuzhou."

He narrowed his eyes and thought: "Since the Luoyang Rebellion, many things have been planned behind the scenes. This person must have calculated the current situation and knew that the troops in Luoyang were insufficient. Our army can use troops in the city, and now there are only more than 20,000. If we want to deal with this surprising soldier with considerable combat power, we must use a large group of troops to solve it in the shortest time. However, this will increase the morale of the Ximen enemy, which will be greatly disadvantageous to me."

Zhao Yun said: "Our army is so elite, is it that more than a thousand soldiers are not enough to deal with such people with shortage of soldiers and armor?"

At this time, Cui Jun replied: "Luoyang City is surrounded by the Yellow River, Hulao Pass, Hangu Pass, and mountains. Mengjin Port and Hulao Pass are still under control. Although Hangu Pass was lost a few days ago, Ji Ling did not send troops to garrison it, so our army can still grasp its dynamics. Four thousand soldiers and horses are pouring in, and it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the sight of the horse. Therefore, there is only one direction they come from."

After he said this, everyone was shocked.

"Could it be... Could it be that they came across the mountains south?"

Cui Jun nodded and said, "Only this way can be done. These 4,000 people must be the strange soldiers decided by the people behind the scenes. The purpose is to force our army to divide their troops to annihilate them. If the enemy seeks chaos, we should seek stability. As long as we stabilize the situation and destroy the main force of Ji Ling on the west side, this battle will be a great victory. Therefore, the key to the strange soldiers at the East Gate is to block, not suppress them. It is better to send 500 archers and 800 squadrons to assist in defending the city. As long as it is difficult for them to break through the city gate, everything will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Gao Shun immediately issued a military order.

At the east gate of Luoyang City, Le Jin and Cao Hong, who were originally charged forward in person, secretly ran aside.

Le Jin said in confusion: "Although the city's defense has been significantly enhanced, it has not taken the initiative. It shows that there are not many reinforcements sent to this gate. I am afraid that this plan will not work. What should I do?"

Cao Hong also looked anxious: "Xun Yu, Cui Jun's name is indeed true. With the current defense of the East Gate, it is impossible for us to break through. This is a problem..."

He frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his head: "Why did I forget? Before leaving, Meng De had discussed many countermeasures with all the military advisors, and then gave me a tip and asked me to act according to the plan."

He took out his body left and right, and found a secret bag, took out the letter and took out the letter.

"Haha, Meng De and all the military advisors are really talented. Why didn't I expect such a simple method?"
