Liu Feng stood on the top of the city, looking down at the soldiers pouring in like water below the city gate.
They were all excited to the extreme. They were in a hurry and worked hard without caring about their own lives. They were afraid that they would be late and not be able to write the most magnificent glory for themselves with the blood of the enemy.
This is Luoyang City, the heart of the Han Empire in the world.
Over the past hundreds of years, how many people have been able to fight here.
Looking westward, the enemies on the front line of Buheli had completely retreated. His heroic soldiers were like wild beasts rushing into the sheepfold, chasing and killing the enemies wantonly.
There were rumbling shouts of killing in my ears, and the entire Luoyang City seemed to have turned into a Shura Killing City.
Soldiers who are obsessed with killing, in order to win heads and win rewards, even do not hesitate to attack ordinary civilians. Many innocent people have unfortunately become the victims.
Liu Feng's gaze extended further into the distance. Suddenly, he was attracted by the fire that appeared from the direction of Beigong.
The fire in the southwest direction was just a star before, but it intensified rapidly in the blink of an eye, and in a moment it turned into a raging fire that soared into the sky, illuminating the entire dark palace city.
Liu Feng suddenly had an unusual premonition in his heart.
From the north gate, he had deliberately shown weakness and laid a trap for Cao Cao. If Cao Cao dared to break through from the north gate, he would definitely be captured alive.
Capture the imperial city and set the banner of "Liu" high in the most noble place in the empire, which will announce the change of hands of the capital.
Liu Feng sneered, descended to the top of the city, rode his horse and danced his spear, guiding his billowing army towards Beigong.
On the street in front of Longyun Gate, Liu Feng met with veteran Zhang Ren.
At this moment, this veteran general from central Sichuan was commanding the Yizhou soldiers under his command to launch a fierce attack on Long Yunmen in Beigong.
Zhang Ren originally thought that Cao's army was completely defeated, but what surprised the veteran was that the thousands of defenders at Long Yunmen were like rocks, and they still stubbornly held on to the retreat even though the overall situation was determined.
"Old general, do you know who the guard of this gate is?" Liu Feng asked loudly.
Zhang Ren wiped the sweat from his forehead and gasped: "According to the captured prisoners, the guard is probably Xu Huang. Lord, give me another hour, and I will raze this man to the ground."
"It turns out to be Xu Huang, no wonder he is so tenacious." Liu Feng sighed secretly.
The Cao family's world fell apart, and all the counselors and civil servants surrendered. The remaining generals also died and surrendered. What Liu Feng did not expect was that Xu Huang would be the last one to persevere. 3¡à35686688
While he was sighing, a scout came to report that Wei Yan had just broken through the south gate of Luoyang, and tens of thousands of troops had entered the city and were heading towards Nangong.
Liu Feng was shocked.
He knew that the imperial city was divided into two palaces, the north and the south. The north palace was built earlier and was completed a few years ago. As for the south palace, because Cao Cao suffered consecutive defeats, the construction of the half-built south palace could only be stopped. The two palaces in the north and south are connected. The north palace is well-defended, but several parts of the south palace have not even built walls.
Although Liu Feng was about to destroy Cao Cao, he still had Liu Bei to gnaw on north of the Yellow River. There was absolutely no need for him to let his soldiers suffer unnecessary losses.
Therefore, Liu Feng ordered Zhang Ren not to rush to attack the city for the time being, but ordered someone to pass the order to Wei Yan, ordering him to quickly occupy the South Palace with a large army and attack the North Palace from the South Palace.
Xicheng, go to the west gate.
Bad news of the fall of various clans kept coming. The fall of Luoyang City was imminent, but Xiahou Cun was still struggling to support it.
Without Cao Cao¡¯s order to withdraw his troops, Xiahou Cun would never take a step back even if he fought to the last man.
However, facing the enemies that were as dense as ants on the city wall, this Yuan Gong veteran of the Xiahou clan felt powerless at this moment.
At this moment, a horse rushed up to the city, and it was Xu Huang's confidant who came.
The visitor said something to Xiahou Cun. Xiahou Cun's demeanor changed drastically and he turned around to look in the direction of Beigong.
Sure enough, a raging fire started igniting from the direction of the chapel at some point. The fire soared into the sky and instantly burned Xiahou Zhen's old heart to ashes.
He was swaying and almost unsteady on his feet.
"Mengde, Mengde"
Xiahou Cun bit the cut and recited the two words that he had not read for a long time over and over again. Two lines of old tears fell down, making two ravines on his blood-stained face.
Suddenly, he raised his head.
Looking up, I sawOn the other side of the city, the young Cao Pi was waving a long sword, commanding the soldiers to desperately resist the enemy's attack.
He strode forward and knocked away the soldiers on the left and right. After a few steps, Cao Pi followed him and grabbed his arm: "Zihuan, we can't hold it anymore. Follow me and fight out of Xiamen from the north." Bar."
Cao Pi was startled for a moment, then frowned and said, "How can we abandon the city and leave before my father gives the order to break out?"
Xia Houcong pointed in the direction of the North Palace and sighed: "Mengde is determined to live or die with Luoyang. He can no longer give us orders."
Cao Pi was shocked. He followed Xiahou Cun's expectations and saw the raging fire in Beigong immediately came into view.
He was sleepy for a moment at first, but soon understood what Xiahou Cun meant.
That fire was the tomb that my father dug for himself.
???????? Did my father, who was so wise and powerful, almost like a god, commit suicide like this?
In Cao Pi's heart, the last spiritual pillar collapsed instantly.
"Father, I want to save my father"
With tears streaming down his face, Cao Pi pulled out his tui and was about to go down to the city, but Xiahou Cun grabbed him hard.
Xiahou Cun roared at his nephew like a bull: "Mengde is dead. You are the last hope of the Cao family. You must stop acting like a fool."
With one word, Cao Pi's desire to save his father was shattered.
When Cao Cao planned to run the Henan defense line centered on Luoyang, in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, he transferred all brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others to Luoyang, entrusted them with official positions and ordered them to guard Luoyang, which was also a kind of training experience.
But what Cao Cao didn¡¯t expect was the defeat of Le Jia and the betrayal of Sima Yi and other wealthy clans, which trapped the entire Cao clan in Luoyang City.
Now, the city has been destroyed, and Cao Zhi and other brothers do not know whether they are alive or dead. As Cao Cao's eldest son, Xiahou Zhen's words are absolutely correct.
"But¡¡"
When Cao Pi was still hesitating, Xiahou Cun could not wait any longer. He refused to say anything and dragged Cao Pi down to the city. With more than 300 elite cavalry soldiers, he protected Cao Pi and headed towards the north city.
There are two gates in the north city of Luoyang, one is the valley gate and the other is the summer gate. Gu Men¨¦n is relatively close to Shangdong Men¨¦n, so Xiahou Cun has no choice but to go to Xia Men¨¦n.
Fortunately for Xiahou Cun, just as Xu Huang sent the news, the enemy did not launch an attack on Beimen, and the thousands of soldiers and horses guarding Beimen were also intact.
Xiahou Cun did not dare to stay longer, so he immediately gathered the remaining three thousand soldiers and horses, walked out from Xiamen, walked lightly, and headed towards the river in the southwest.
Heyin is located in the upper reaches of Pingjin. It is also a ferry crossing the Yellow River to the north, but it is farther away from Luoyang City. Xiahou Cun thought that Liu Feng's army might not station a large number of troops here, but might be able to sneak across the Yellow River from here.
As for the Hanoi County on the other side of the river, although Sima Yi and others are rebelling, they do not have many troops and may not be able to fortify everywhere. As long as he can reach the north bank, he may be able to attack with cavalry overnight and escape to Jizhou.
This old blind Xiahou, with the only glimmer of hope left in his heart, protected his nephew Cao Pi, and hurriedly ran into the wilderness outside the Xiamen under the still dark sky.
It was quiet all around, except for the brisk hooves of horses and the footsteps of soldiers, there was no other movement.
The enemy camps stretched for miles, and the fire in the camps was clearly visible.
This group of three thousand people sneaked nervously and urgently through the narrow area between the Confederate camps.
Half an hour later, the firelight of the enemy camp had fallen far behind.
Xiahou Cun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had been lucky enough to break out of the encirclement.
However, Xiahou Cun felt that something was not right about crossing the enemy's defense line so easily. However, he did not have time to think about it carefully, so he could only gallop intermittently along the way.
After passing through the enemy camp, there was still Mang Mountain blocking the road. Xiahou Cun did not dare to take the main road for fear of being blocked by heavy troops, so he could only take the smaller path.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around. Some were abandoned because they were too weak, and some were disheartened and fled quietly.
Xiahou Cun didn't care about the life or death of others. He just rode his horse desperately and abandoned more infantry in Mang Mountain.
When the sun passed noon, only the first few hundred knights were left around him, and the winding path under his feet became wider and wider. In front of him was the foot of the mountain, and he could walk out of Mang Mountain before he looked at it.
"Uncle Yuan Rang, wait a minute." Cao Pi suddenly reined in his horse.
Xiahou Cun had to stop, turned around and asked, "Zihuan, there is a mountain pass right ahead, why do you have to stop?"
Cao Pi looked around at the surrounding vegetation with stern eyes,He frowned and said, "I feel like something is wrong with the surrounding situation."
"Huh?" Xia Houxin was startled.
Cao Pi pointed to the surroundings and said: "There are birds in the mountains. When we pass by like this, the birds will fly away, but there is no movement here, unless"
Before Cao Pi finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became bloodshot.
In his field of vision, in the surrounding woods, flags were slowly raised one after another, soldiers were lined up with cold light, and countless Confederate soldiers appeared in unison.
In the blink of an eye, countless enemies rose up all over the mountains and plains at the same time, with pairs of bloodthirsty eyes staring at them like hungry beasts.
Xiahou Zhen was shocked and stunned. Only then did he realize that he had been ambushed by the enemy. When he was about to urge his horse to rush towards the mountain pass, he saw smoke and dust rising in front of the mountain road, and the black cavalry was rushing towards them.
Cao Pi's heart was as cold as the ice of the twelfth lunar month.
His unfinished sentence was exactly what he wanted to say, unless the ambushers who arrived first would scare away the birds in the area. This was exactly what he was suspicious of.
On the top of the mountain several miles away, Xu Shu stood holding his sword, with a faint sneer on his face, silently watching the prey enter his trap.
The long sword was unsheathed, and with a flick of the finger, the signal flag on the top of the mountain danced wildly.
At the foot of the mountain, thousands of ambush soldiers came out.
