As soon as Zhang Liao's military order came out, the entire army immediately entered a state of rapid march after drinking and eating, and quickly rushed to Luoyang City. Many of the baggage was left behind, allowing Zhou Tai to slowly escort them forward. At the same time, many soldiers injured in the last two battles were stripped out, about two thousand, and handed over to Commander Zhou Tai.
This urgent march took only one day and one night. Liu Bian led Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong to Luoyang City. They saw that the city gate was tightly closed, and the city was already covered with tall trees and rolling stones. The whole city was on guard. In this state, the soldiers were heavily guarded. The leading general had a serious expression and was dispatching sergeants everywhere. Looking at his appearance, it turned out to be Xu Rong.
Fortunately, it seems that just as Zhang Liao said, Lu Bu planned to capture Luoyang in one fell swoop, so he did not attack the city immediately. Instead, he set up camp twenty miles outside Luoyang City and waited for news from Sishui Pass and Hongnong City. As soon as these two places were breached, the entire army marched out and captured Luoyang.
Suddenly seeing the appearance of this man and horse, Xu Rong immediately ordered people to keep a close watch. The archers on the city were already preparing their bows and arrows, and then sent people to shout loudly and ask them what their purpose was.
"Xu Rong, open the city gate quickly!" Liu Bian jumped out of the horse and shouted to the top.
Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, and was overjoyed when he suddenly saw Liu Bian. He quickly ordered people to open the city gate, lower the suspension bridge, and welcome the army into the city. At the same time, he sent someone to notify Yu Ji and others to come out to greet them.
Not long after, Yu Ji and Li Su had already left the city. When they saw Liu Bian, they were overjoyed.
"Your Highness, enter the city quickly. Are these troops transferred from Hongnong City? Miss Diao Chan left Luoyang yesterday and went to Hongnong City. Now Hongnong has no soldiers. What should we do?" Yu Ji is Tang Ji after all. His own father, seeing the army behind Liu Bian at this time, remembered that Tang Ji was guarding Hongnong alone, and couldn't help but become a little anxious.
"It doesn't matter, these troops are not transferred from Hongnong City." Liu Bian said with a smile.
Seeing what he said, Yu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and quickly arranged for people to lead the army into the city. The affairs in the city were naturally arranged by Xu Rong.
Just when the army of more than 10,000 was about to enter half of the army, the sound of probing horses was heard from behind. A scout who originally belonged to Zhou Tai rushed over and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, it's not good, Lu Bu heard it." The reinforcements from Luoyang have arrived and they have already personally led the troops to catch up!"
Suddenly hearing Lu Bu's name, Yu Ji and Li Su's faces changed at the same time, and they quickly greeted Liu Bian to enter the city.
"How many troops does Marquis Lu Wen bring?" However, someone asked in a deep voice, without any sign of panic. When everyone looked, it was Zhang Liao.
At this time, Yu Ji no longer cared about whose general Zhang Liao was, and immediately pulled Liu Bian and said urgently: "That Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled. Your Highness had better avoid it first. If he is allowed to lead his troops to charge over, Luoyang will be destroyed in an instant." It was breached!¡±
"Reporting to the general, Lu Bu personally led five hundred cavalry out. The army has not moved, and it seems that he has no intention of attacking the city." The scout said at the right time.
"Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, are you deceiving me that there is no one in Luoyang?" Liu Bian sneered. He immediately understood what Lu Bu meant. This guy just wanted to see the joke in Luoyang. He must have found out that there were only more than ten thousand troops, so he was not very worried. Care, it seems that he is relying on his bravery, and wants to come over to scare them, and casually cover them up for a while.
"Order Xu Rong to be on strict guard in the city, and Zhang Wenyuan to arrange his troops. I'll come and meet this unparalleled general, Lu Bu!" Liu Bian shouted, but ignored Yu Ji's dissuasion and turned his horse's head to face behind him. Behind Liu Bian, Hua Xiong could not see his expression under his armor, but he raised his sword and followed closely.
Zhang Liao responded, quickly mobilized the troops and horses that could not enter the city, set up a formation in the rear, then drove his horses to Liu Bian's side, and Hua Xiong stood on the left and right to protect him.
Yu Ji could only sigh, and then asked Li Su to quickly enter the city to defend, while he followed Liu Bian closely. At least he also had the power of Tianlei Taoism to rely on. Lu Bu wanted to storm the gate of Luoyang City with his five hundred cavalry. , you have to pay a price.
The troops are arrayed here, and they are well prepared. The sound of horse hooves can be heard like thunder. In the flying dust, Lu Bu has a golden crown and gold armor, and a red rabbit is coming on horseback holding a halberd like a god descending from heaven.
When he saw that the military formation had been set up outside Luoyang City, Lu Bu suddenly said "Hey", but he did not expect Luoyang to react so quickly. He immediately restrained the red rabbit, waved his halberd, and the cavalry behind him also stopped. , stopping behind him.
Zhang Liao saw this, his face suddenly darkened, and he said seriously: "Your Highness, the knights behind Lu Bu are called Suan Ni cavalry. It is said that there are only five thousand in number. They were selected by Lu Bu personally from the Xiliang cavalry, supplemented by thousands of miles of cavalry. The best horses from Dawan were selected and trained strictly. They are all wearing heavy armor. One horse can be worth a hundred. They are the most elite team in Dong Zhuo's army. I didn't expect that he would bring them here this time."
"Suan"? Iron cavalry? "Liu Bian nodded. Judging from the momentum just now, it is obvious that the overall strength of the Suanni cavalry, including men and horses, is comparable to the undead abominations under his men. If there are really five thousand, maybe his own one The undead army may not be able to take advantage of them, but it really should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, although the Suanni cavalry was powerful, Lu Bu only brought out 500 people, and did not charge directly. Otherwise, the gate of Luoyang might not be able to stop them. You can tell just by looking at the armor on their bodies. Well, the bows and arrows on the city were just decorations. How could the arrows penetrate heavy armor and not hurt them at all.
"Hahahahaha, little Liu Bian, you are indeed here in Luoyang City!" Lu Bu laughed up to the sky, looking extremely arrogant. He waved his Chinese halberd and pointed it at Liu Bian: "Last time, I relied on that beautiful man who conquered the country and the city. With my help, you can escape from someone's hands by chance, and I will see you today, someone will definitely take your life to appease your adoptive father!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Hua Xiong and his horses, dancing with the sword in their hands, running towards Lu Bu from a distance!
Hua Xiong¡¯s predecessor only admired one person in Dong Zhuo¡¯s camp, and that was Lu Bu. But this time it was different. Since he was already a Death Knight, he had to abide by the Death Knight's rules. How could he allow others to insult his master? So without saying a word, he went straight in with his sword.
"Okay!" Lu Bu is also a discerning person. When he saw Hua Xiong's technique, his eyes suddenly shone brightly and he said with a smile: "I haven't seen such a capable person in a long time. In that case, let me play with you!"
After saying this, the painted halberd was like the wind, causing thunder to roll. The red rabbit flew up into the dust and pounced on Hua Xiong. The two of them immediately came to a fight.
I could only hear the thunderous sound of war drums on the city wall, but when Xu Rong saw Hua Xiong riding out to fight Lu Bu, he couldn't help but get excited and beat the war drums himself.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There was only the sound of gold and iron clashing, sparks flying, and the sound of tigers roaring from time to time. It seemed that Lu Bu was in the best state, and it was the moment of power.
"Your Highness, Hua Xiong is no match for Lu Bu. I'm sorry for twenty rounds. Let me go and help!" Zhang Liao whispered from the side.
Liu Bian looked at the field and felt that Hua Xiong's sword skills had stagnated. He was obviously restrained by Lu Bu, so he nodded immediately.
With Liu Bian¡¯s permission, Zhang Liao immediately rushed out and said: "Marquis Lu Wen is fascinated by the halberd, please allow me to come and see you too!" The spear brought out a cold light and pierced Lu Bu's face.
"Well done!" Lu Bu was not afraid at all, waved his halberd to greet him, and fought against Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao.
