Chapter 053

In the inner city of Luoyang, in front of Shengyang Gate on the south wall, seven or eight soldiers on duty were chatting about family matters. On weekdays, local soldiers guarding the inner and outer city gates were mixed with a small number of Xiliang soldiers, but in the past two days they were replaced by Dong Zhuo's direct Xiliang army.

The inner city gate is not like the outer city’s “city gate”. It requires inspection of the people and carriages entering and leaving one by one. The sentry here only serves as a warning.

The seven or eight soldiers suddenly stopped chatting because an unusual man came to them.

It is unusual, one is because they are crowded and there are about thirty rides. At first glance, it seems to be full of streets. Second, one of them is not only riding one person, but also carrying a woman. Third, they are very fast, and when they approach the city gate, they not only did not slow down, but instead accelerated. Fourth, they took out their crossbows...

They were naturally Feng Yu and the thirty cavalry scouts. When they entered the inner city, they entered from several city gates in batches, with each group of five or six people in appearance. And Feng Yu's identity covers it. Naturally, they could not arouse the vigilance of the soldiers guarding the city.

Moreover, Cai’s mansion is not far from Shengyang Gate, and it is only a hundred miles away. It is a short time to arrive at the horse. Therefore, there is no patrolling Dong Zhuojun on the road.

However, now, the soldiers guarding Shengyang Gate had discovered the abnormality and were about to issue a warning for enemy attacks and turn around to close the city gate. But they had no time to do so. Thirty sharp arrows and strong arrows rushed towards them. With a few screams, all seven or eight Xiliang soldiers were defeated on the spot.

The soldiers on the top of the city were shocked to see something change and screamed loudly. But the thirty-one cavalry had rushed out of Shengyang Gate like a gust of wind and entered the outer city. They rushed towards the outer "city gate" two or three miles away...

By the Luo River, at the end of a floating bridge is a gap in Luoyang's "outer city wall". More than ten soldiers set up checkpoints here to check people entering and leaving the city. This checkpoint is not just these ten people, but there are nearly a hundred people stationed in a small camp next to the checkpoint.

Not many people came to the city this early winter morning, and nearly a hundred people in the camp squatted in the open space outside, basking in the sun lazily.

At this moment, the sound of horses galloping from the Western Liang army was heard across the pontoon bridge. In the warm winter sunshine, more than ten sleepy soldiers on duty woke up immediately.

They looked up at the opposite bank of Luoshui. At least fifty or sixty war cavalry were rushing towards them, and their speed was getting faster and faster, and they were still catching bows and arrows in their hands.

These war cavalry did not come to the city at all, but attacked the city! The sound of enemy attacks and warnings sounded one after another. More than ten soldiers had no time to dodge, and dense arrows arrived like a sudden rain. In an instant, eight or nine Western Liang soldiers were injured by arrows.

After hearing the screams, the soldiers in the camp next to them found their weapons in panic and rushed to the bridgehead and the gap in the earthen wall. The sword mountain and guns immediately appeared at the "outer city gate".

The incoming war cavalry rushed to the bridgehead on the other side and did not mean to cross the river. Instead, they separated to both sides, turned around in circles, and released rounds of arrows.

Some people in the Xiliang army held shields, but some people were still caught arrows and fell to the ground from time to time. Their duty was to protect the "city gate", so they could not attack the other side, and they could not catch up even if they attacked.

In this way, as the opponent continues to shoot, the defenders at this checkpoint will inevitably suffer major casualties. The defenders' generals determined that the opponent only shoots but does not attack.

"Surfing the oar shield", a leader of the Qiang soldier in the defender shouted loudly. Then, more than ten soldiers carried out tall oar shields from the camp and prepared to build a shield wall behind the bridgehead in front of the gap.

A Xiliang soldier who was walking out with a shield suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then saw a sharp spear blade emerging from his chest.

Fifty soldiers with short spears and two-foot round shield appeared quietly behind the gap and stabbed the Xiliang soldiers who were unaware of it. They were the fifty baggage engineers who entered the city. In addition, more than ten scouts also dismounted and joined the operation on foot.

In addition, there were more than ten knights nearby, including the residence staff, who were guarding Cao Cao. Cao Cao shouted anxiously: "Don't worry about me, you go up and kill!" After that, he got off his horse and drew his sword and attacked the Xiliang army.

Feng Yu, who was riding a horse here, was running over a hundred battles away. He was operating the system to command the battle and said anxiously: [Cao Cao, why are you joining in the fun! Be careful of accidentally hurting you in the chaos.]

Hundreds of Xiliang soldiers were focused on the war cavalry on the other side, but they did not expect that seventy or eighty infantrymen appeared behind them and launched a sudden attack on themselves. Caught to the point of defense, more than sixty soldiers fell down instantly.

The remaining Xiliang soldiers were panicked after knowing that someone was attacking him from behind. As soon as they turned around, they were stabbed into the abdominal cavity and chest by the other party's skull and short spear, and some were knocked off their heads by a knife.

The last ten Xiliang soldiers were already scattered, and some even knelt down and begged for surrender. In the end, they were all lost under the swords and guns of the Zhuyang Army soldiers within a few breaths.

Cao Cao pulled out his sword from a soldier and returned to his horse. The rest of the soldiers moved all the roadblocks away, and the baggage soldiers ran across the river along the floating bridge, but the scouts returned to his horse.

At this time, Feng Yu and thirty scouts arrived and rushed out of Luoyang City without stopping. Cao Cao and more than thirty other cavalry followed closely. The fifty baggage soldiers had already run to the other side of the river and jumped onto the backs of the fifty scouts who came to pick them up. They also fled in the same direction.

This battle took place from beginning to end within a few minutes and was almost done in one go. However, Feng Yu and others did not get rid of the entanglement of the Western Liang army.

A group of patrolling along the river had noticed the abnormal movement here, and the horns rang. Groups of patrolling light cavalry gathered here. Feng Yu and others had just left less than a minute, when they gathered seventy or eighty cavalry and followed the traces and chased them down.

These light cavalry could not catch up with Feng Yu's cavalry scouts, but could catch up with the one-horse and two-horse combat cavalry. Just as they got closer and closer to their target, in a small wood on their left wing, accompanied by the sound of thunder, they suddenly rushed out of a rolling "torrent", which was the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Zhuyang Army.

The Xiliang Army was known for its cavalry, but it had never seen such an excellent cavalry. The opponent also had an overwhelming advantage in terms of number. In addition, the opponent suddenly launched an attack from his flank.

The experienced Western Liang knights immediately foresaw the result of this battle, which was that they were wiped out. They fought desperately to try to escape from the trap. However, after the torrent of the tiger and leopard cavalry swept through, only Miao Miao escaped several times.

The rest of the people and horses turned into lances in the neighing of the horse, cut into several pieces by the sabers, and were trampled into piles of flesh and blood corpses trampled by iron hooves.

Just a moment later, a cavalry unit of more than a thousand cavalry chased from the city to the bridgehead of the floating bridge. The general led by Xiliang looked at the corpses all over the ground and said coldly: "A group of waste, the other party is just a few people, but you can't hold on for a while!" Then he waved his hand and spit out a low word: "Chasing!"
