Xia Houdun, they did not dare to give up Luoyang City. They were outside the city just to make sure there was no ambush.
But Zhang Yu's suspicions played a role. They were not sure, so they did not dare to make a decision easily.
"You can't wait, you have to do something." It's been a long time, said Charlotte Houghton.
"If Zhang Yu wants to leave, we don't care. Luoyang is the most important place. We'd better divide up some troops to block Zhang Yu, and some of them are ready to attack Luoyang City." Added Charlotte Houghton.
Xia Houyuan and Cao ang thought carefully.
"Today's speed, Zhang Yu's cavalry can arrive in Luoyang in two hours, we have to attack Luoyang in two hours." Said Cao ang.
Xia Houyuan said: "it's right and wrong. It takes two hours for Zhang Yu's troops to come back, but he can't immediately know the news of our attack, at least one hour later. In addition, if we send troops to stop us, only one hour, then we have four hours."
"According to the calculation, even if Zhang Yu has soldiers and horses in the city, it won't be too many. Most of them are only a thousand. In four hours, he can completely defeat Luoyang City."
Xia Houyuan said, several people feel reasonable.
It's certain that there is something fishy in the city, but for now, the most likely thing is Zhang Yu's plan of suspecting soldiers. He has to hold himself back and let him leave with a lot of captives and a lot of luggage.
XiahouDun and they decided to move on.
Xia Houyuan takes 30000 troops to prepare to stop Zhang Yu.
With 30000 troops, Xia Houyuan had confidence to block Zhang Yu for at least an hour, or even longer.
As long as they attack Luoyang quickly every day, they can retreat into the city and guard Luoyang.
Xia Houdun and their analysis is right. It's not so easy for Zhang Yu to come back.
I've been away for a long time, and it will take me a few hours to come back with the fast horse.
Besides, they still have 30000 troops ready to resist Zhang Yu.
After distribution, without hesitation, XiahouDun launched an attack immediately.
"The four gates attack together and take Luoyang in the shortest time." If you want to move, use thunder.
"Kill." XiahouDun waved his sword and ordered the whole army to attack.
Tens of thousands of troops were divided into several parts and killed at the gate.
The attack is swift and full.
"Kill."
When they rushed to the bottom of the city, hundreds of guards suddenly appeared on the wall.
"Shoot the arrow."
Hundreds of people guarded a small city above the gate, and then concentrated on shooting arrows to keep them away from the gate.
"It is."
When the ambush appeared, XiahouDun was relieved.
Hundreds of people, hundreds of archers arranged at one gate, can only delay them for less than half an hour.
"The archers suppress and attack with all their strength."
XiahouDun was also afraid of accidents and let the soldiers attack with all their strength.
Although the casualties were not small, because hundreds of people in the city were attacking fiercely, but in order to seize the time, XiahouDun still let the soldiers rush up in the rain of arrows.
But there were still too few enemies on the wall, and when they were suppressed by their archers, the strength of their counterattack was reduced.
Cao Jun soon rushed to the gate and attacked it.
The city gate was hit, and the soldiers in the city could not suppress it.
The attack was less than half an hour. On the wall where XiahouDun was, Zhang Yu's soldiers were too injured and couldn't support them and scattered.
"Great."
Without interference, the soldiers hit the city gate with all their strength, and it took less than half of the time to open it.
"Concentrate your forces and get in."
The gate opened, and without hesitation, harhoudun immediately ordered the attack.
When all the gates are open, you can't hesitate any more.
More than 10000 troops poured into the gate.
When they entered the gate, the other gates were unable to support themselves and retreated one after another.
As a result, the four gates were broken, and Cao Jun successfully entered the gate.
"Yes, even if Zhang Yu has any conspiracy, we don't have to worry about city defense." Said XiahouDun cheerfully.
Indeed, XiahouDun's main purpose now is to take Luoyang City.
Luoyang is so important that it is the fulcrum of their western line.
After entering the city, they met resistance again, but there were not many troops on the other side, and more than 1000 people were in the way of the main road.
"Kill."
Without hesitation, XiahouDun decisively ordered the attack, which, in his view, could break their defence with one blow.
Sure enough, the more than 1000 soldiers retreated before they could resist.
He retreated while fighting, leaving a lot of bodies.
XiahouDun and they stormed in, all the way forward, trying to control the city as soon as possible.
However, after they entered a certain distance, there were more than 1000 enemy troops. They were ready to fire three rounds of arrows and kill hundreds of them. Then they threw away their bows and arrows and continued to fight and retreat with long guns.
"Hateful, so delusional delay time, sword shield soldiers give me charge, tightly stick to them."
XiahouDun was very angry. After he entered the city, the enemy still stuck to them and let him lose a lot.
Four way attack, four way progress is good, although there are enemies, but they are retreating, as if deliberately delaying time.
Entering another section, they encountered more than 1000 enemy troops.
In this way, several times later, more than 3000 soldiers gathered in Jiangdong.
XiahouDun felt more and more wrong. More than 1000 enemy soldiers had died in the war, and now there are more than 3000, which adds up to 5000.
If it's in one direction, it's OK. If it's in all four directions, it's a big problem.
How can there be so many enemy troops? It's very different from the total of three or five thousand that was predicted before.
There was something wrong in XiahouDun's mind, but he could not think about it now.
"Quick, destroy the enemy as soon as possible. In addition, separate some people to control the gate and the wall." Said XiahouDun.
XiahouDun's reaction was not slow, but it was too late. Their army had penetrated into Luoyang City.
"Kill."
All of a sudden, there was a cry of killing, and the enemy who were chased by them suddenly began to counterattack.
"What, there are ambushes in the city, so many troops."
XiahouDun was shocked, for it was not more than three thousand soldiers and horses that came to them at this time, but more than ten thousand soldiers and horses.
More than 10000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses killed them.
The other three gates are almost the same, but there are differences in the number of troops. The total number of troops is about 10000.
There are so many soldiers and horses in the city. The four routes add up to 50000.
Of course, at this time XiahouDun did not know, he immediately sent people to investigate the situation of other gates.
The news he received made him know that something was wrong.
"Tell the young master that we are surrounded by the enemy. Let him take the team back." Said XiahouDun to those around him.
It is obvious that although they are not surrounded at this time, as long as Zhang Yu comes, they will never run.
Now it's too late to withdraw. The reason why Jiangdong's troops launched a counter offensive is to stick to them.
When the forces were almost the same, XiahouDun could not withdraw the general.
