Li Yi received several messages one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Ling, who was stationed at Duling, said in his letter that the rebels appeared on the Meridian Road and planned to attack Chang'an. But because the plank road was cut off, it was discovered by the scouts of the Northern Frontier Army and retreated in a hurry. Now that Chang'an is safe, if the lord agrees, I will lead the army south to support Wuguan.

Li Yi Feige sent a letter to the defenders of Yicheng and asked them to pay close attention to the exit of the Baochuan Road, and the Feige sent a letter to the defenders of Wugong City, asking them to pay close attention to the exit of the Dangluo Road. Since the rebels appeared in the Meridian Road, it is very likely that they will also appear in the Bao Slope Road and the Dang Luo Road. Hua Xiong and Ma Chao's army is about to return to Chencang, and if the enemy is found on the plank road again, they will urgently summon Chencang's reinforcements and kill them.

The blockades at Wuguan and Dasanguan have been successful so far. Xu Xuan in the direction of Nanyang failed to pose a serious threat to Wuguan because of his limited troops.

Yue Yunfeige sent a message to Li Yi, hoping to get reinforcements to take the initiative to threaten the hinterland of Nanyang from the direction of Wuguan, so as to give strong help to the Yingchuan battlefield.

After careful consideration, Li Yi agreed to Yue Yun's request and ordered Wang Ling to lead his army south to support Wuguan.

Dasanguan is as solid as a rock under Hao Zhao's insistence, so far, Hao Zhao still has 2,000 troops in his hands that have not been put into the battlefield, and he has beaten Liu Bei to a temporary truce.

The letters between Huangfu Li and Zhang Liao gave Li Yi an extreme headache. The first battle of Guanzhong was not fought well, and Han Sui's Xiliang army was beaten too badly, and as a result, Western Xinjiang has now become a nightmare for the people of Northern Xinjiang, a more and more terrible nightmare. First, the Qiang invaded the western frontier, then Liu Bei appeared in Longnan, and the Yizhou people appeared in Hanyang. It's messy, and the western frontier is completely messed up.

Li Yifeige sent a letter to Huangfu Li, Zhang Liao, and Gao Xianzhi, asking them to be sure to hold Shangqi, and after the army conquered Luoyang, they would immediately send troops to support.

While dealing with these affairs, Li Yi did not relax his attack on Luoyang. After eight days of continuous bombardment, the 5,000 catapults of the Northern Xinjiang Army stopped.

The assault troops, armed with siege equipment such as moats, bridges, and turrets, rushed through the filled moat like a tidal wave and began to fill the last moat.

The decisive battle is imminent.

Up and down the city wall of Luoyang, stone bullets are piled up.

Yuan Shang, Feng Ji, Xianbei and others commanded the soldiers of various departments and 200,000 people to clean up the stone bombs on the ring road as quickly as possible.

In order to save time, the judges ordered the people to pile up the stone bullets near Fu Yan in order to strengthen and raise Fu Yan.

Under the strong armed attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the defensive facilities outside Luoyang City and on the city wall have all been destroyed, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is very likely to take advantage of the situation to climb the city wall. Once the Northern Frontier Army breaks through the city wall, whether the defenders can continue to block it depends on the thickness of this Fu Yan.

The Northern Xinjiang Army filled in the moats outside the city, and the defenders cleaned up the stone bombs inside the city, and everyone did their own things without interfering with each other.

That night, the full moon hung high, and neither side lit a lighted fire, nor did they shoot at each other, but were still busy with their own business.

In the dark night, the officers and men of the Northern Xinjiang Army took turns to fight, and the speed of filling the trenches became faster and faster. The defenders of the city climbed the city walls one after another, doing their best to clear the stone bullets from the walls, and striving to restore the most basic defensive conditions in the shortest possible time.

Regardless of the dissuasion of Feng Ji and others, the trial put a lot of manpower in the direction of Yongmen at the risk that the Northern Xinjiang Army might attack at any time.

At this moment, if the catapults and ballistae of the Northern Xinjiang Army were launched at the same time, the losses on the city wall would be very amazing. But the judge lost his mind, and did not consider the lives of the soldiers and people, and forcibly drove tens of thousands of people to the city wall.

Overnight, under the personal supervision of the judge, the stone bullets on the city wall of the Yongmen section were all cleaned up. Six thousand elite soldiers entered the defensive position in the early morning and launched an attack on the busy Northern Frontier Army beneath the city.

In the rising sun, the war drums were like thunder, the arrows were like rain, and the soldiers of the northern Xinjiang who were filling the moats were suppressed under the indignation and repair, and it was difficult to move an inch.

The Northern Frontier Army immediately returned fire.

The 900 catapults on the battlefield in front of Yongmen were the first to roar, and then the 2,000 ballistas on the crossbow platform also let out an earth-shattering roar. After just a few breaths, all the catapults and ballistas on the battlefield of the West City Gate roared in the golden morning light, shaking the mountains for a while, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

After a day of silence on the battlefield, it boiled again.

………………

Xu Maogong, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and other strategists accompanied Li Yi and quickly rushed to the front of the battlefield.

Yue Fei, Xu Da, Gao Ran and others hurriedly caught up.

"The rebels resumed their attacks so quickly?" Li Yi looked at the battlefield in front of him and said in a cold voice, "It seems that the time for our bombardment is still a little shorter, and we have not been able to destroy their morale." ”

"How long will it take to advance under the city?" Xu Maogong saw that the assault troops under the city were rapidly retreating under the cover of dense arrows and stones, and immediately turned his head and asked Yue Feidao, "Is it longer than expected?" ”

"We were really surprised that the rebels were able to fight back so quickly." Yue Fei pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said, "According to the original plan, we will fill in the last moat first. Because in order to push the well through it, the moat must be filled and solid, and the thin trench bridge can no longer support the weight of the well block. In addition, the well has to be advanced to a distance of forty feet from the city wall, so that the springboard on the top of it can fall to the city wall accurately, so we have to clean up Feng Yuan and the stone bullets scattered around Feng Yuan. It will take us about five days or so to do this. ”

"In these five days, we will also break through the front wall of the Urn City." Yue Fei pointed to the dilapidated Urn City in the distance and said, "The front wall of the Urn City has collapsed for the most part, and we plan to use the rushing car to knock the remnants of the wall open, and then clear a passage to attack the main city gate." ”

Xu Maogong frowned slightly, waved his hand vigorously, and said: "Concentrate your strength, bombard Yongmen, suppress the enemy on the city wall, and minimize the losses of the assault troops in the advance." ”

Yue Fei and Xu Da looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Give you ten days." Bombarded during the day and advanced at night to suppress the enemy's counterattack as much as possible. Ten days later, we landed in the city and conquered Luoyang. ”

………………

In late August, Chen stayed on the battlefield.

The rebels attacked Yongqiu continuously for more than half a month without the slightest progress.

Chen Liu is in the north of Yongqiu City, only more than 80 miles away from Yongqiu, and he can reach it in one day by marching rapidly. But this day's journey, the coalition army just couldn't get through, and what made Cao Cao especially angry was that Jiangdong's 10,000 troops were still stranded in Huating, unwilling to move closer to Yongqiu.

This time to attack Chenliu in the north, the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army blocked the enemy in the front, and the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army swam between the Langtang Canal and the Suishui River, frequently threatening the rear of the coalition army and the grain route.

In order to ensure the safety of the army, after Cao Cao led the army to Yongqiu City, in the case of an unstable foothold, he asked the Jiangdong Army to deploy in the slippery pavilion by the Suishui River, and the first part of the Yuzhou Army was deployed in the Gaoyang Pavilion in the southwest of Yongqiu City.

After fighting a lot of battles with the Northern Xinjiang Army, the generals of various departments were apprehensive about the power of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry, and no one dared to be careless. After the army's grain and grass were safely transported to the city, Cao Cao ordered again, asking the troops stationed at Gaoyang Pavilion and Huating to quickly meet north and join forces to attack the city.

But at this time, the cavalry of the northern frontier appeared on the flanks of Gaoyang Pavilion and Huating, eyeing the two armies. The two armies were afraid of being attacked by enemy cavalry during the movement, so they held their own troops.

Cao Cao and Yuan Tan fought for two days. They only had 40,000 horses in their hands, and in the face of the iron bucket-like defense of the northern frontier army in the city, they had nothing to do but look at the sky and sigh. Cao Cao and Yuan Tan urged again. Liu Xian of Gaoyang Pavilion and Sun Ben of Huating replied that Chang Yuchun was staying with the cavalry, and it was estimated that he would be attacked if he moved slightly, so it was better to wait.

Chang Yuchun and Gao Changgong each led a cavalry to wander on the edge of the battlefield, although they pinned down the enemy army, but they could not break the stalemate. Gao Changgong asked several times to directly attack the enemy's grain road, but Chang Yuchun did not agree, and he wanted to find a better opportunity to attack.

By mid-August, Cao Cao couldn't wait. Sun Ben was reluctant to lead the army to rendezvous, to put it bluntly, he wanted to preserve his strength, and was unwilling to help Cao Cao and Yuan Tan attack Chen Liu.

At the time of the Central Plains War, Jiangdong had already suffered a big loss, and this time he said that he would not repeat the mistakes of the past.

As for Liu Xian's reluctance to come, of course it was Yuan Tan's idea. Yuan Tan has such a small number of people in his hands, and one less person dies, since Cao Cao beat Chen Liu for Yanzhou, then there is no need to do his best. Let's leave some strength to turn back and fight Yingchuan.

Cao Cao was helpless and threatened Yuan Tan, if you don't transfer Liu Xian's army to Yongqiu City, Lao Tzu will withdraw and won't play with you. Last time, I negotiated to pay a daughter with Beijiang, but this time I will pay another one.

Yuan Tan saw that Cao Cao was furious, and he was a little panicked, and hurriedly asked Liu Xian to lead the army to the meeting.

Liu Xian's army left Gaoyang Pavilion, the horns were broken, and the flanks of the Slippery Pavilion lost their protection and were exposed to the attack of the cavalry of the Northern Frontier.

In late August, Cao Cao gathered an army of 50,000 to attack Yongqiu again. A few days later, due to the lack of armament, Cao Cao asked the general Li Quan to rush to the slippery pavilion with 3,000 men and horses, nearly 10,000 people and hundreds of baggage vehicles. Since your Jiangdong Army doesn't want to fight, it's useless to leave a lot of ordnance, so lend it to me first, and then allocate some grain and grass by the way.

Chang Yuchun seized this opportunity. Because the time was too tight, he could not inform Gao Changgong's main army, and only launched an attack with 800 cavalry.

Yongqiu is only thirty miles away from Huating, which is too close, Li Cheng and his subordinates were a little careless, and they were attacked by Chang Yuchun on the way back to the camp. Cao Cao's army was caught off guard and swept by the cavalry of the northern frontier, suffering all the casualties. Li ran away from the wilderness, unfortunately met Chang Yuchun, was pierced by Chang Yuchun's halberd, and died on the horse.

Chang Yuchun roared away with 800 people, and he didn't even burn the grain, grass and ordnance.
