Chapter 313: Fierce Battle in Luoyang

Cao Ren rode his horse to Cao Cao and saw Cao Cao's face full of gloomy face. He couldn't help but feel guilty and clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, all the troops have been disrupted. Should we stop the attack?"

Cao Cao looked at the city wall in the distance and said in admiration: "Huang Yueying, I originally thought it was just a woman in Lu Bu's room. Now it seems that I really underestimated him! She is very good! There are not many men in the world who can compare with her!" He turned his head and said to the generals: "Remember to me, after attacking Luoyang, you must not hurt her! How can such a good woman not stay by my side?" The generals knew their lord's hobbies and agreed with them.

Cao Ren asked, "Prime Minister, are you still siegeing the city today?"

Cao Cao sneered: "She thought that after this round of impact, I would stop attacking. She was wrong and I would surprise her." He turned to Cao Ren and said: "I will order the army to target immediately and prepare for a new round of attacks. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will come forward. Once the enemy cavalry leaves the city again, attack immediately and be sure to defeat me in one fell swoop!"

Cao Ren led his order and ran away.

The Cao army outside the city gates on three sides began to gather again, and new siege equipment was retreated into the middle of the siege troops. The heavy catapults in the rear bent down and put on huge stone cups. The tiger and leopard cavalry in iron armor were scattered on both wings of the attacking force to deal with the raid of Lu Bu's cavalry at any time.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong... The sound of war drums sounded again. Outside the city gates on three sides, nearly 100,000 Cao troops shouted in unison, shaking the sky!

Papapapapapapapapa... With the loud noise of the catapult cart throwing arms, countless huge rocks flew into the sky and roared towards the city walls. The sky darkened, as if the end of the world was coming!

The assault troops of 100,000 Cao's army shouted loudly and rushed towards the city wall.

"Shoot the arrow!" Gao Shun shouted loudly on the city wall.

The crossbowmen who had been ready to go on the city wall fired arrows together, and the dense rain of arrows roared away. The waves of the Cao army suddenly rippled, and many Cao army soldiers were shot to the ground. However, this did not stop them from forming, and their charge was faster! At the same time, the crossbowmen in the Cao army also fired arrows one after another, and the arrow rain flew up. Many crossbowmen on the city wall got arrows and fell to the ground with a muffled groan.

Cao's army rushed under the city wall, set up a ladder, and began to attack the city; at the same time, the city-torn cars began to attack the city gate, making loud bangs, echoing over the battlefield.

Arrow tower cars that were taller than the city wall slowly approached the city wall under the push of manpower. The crossbowmen at the top of the arrow tower fired arrows on the city wall, and Lu Bu soldiers were shot down one by one. However, the counterattack effect of the Lu Bu crossbowmen was very poor, so someone brought the crossbow chariot, adjusted the angle, and suddenly fired a huge gun with a half-moon blade towards the recently launched arrow tower car. The huge gun arrow turned into a black shadow, and then hit the pillar under the funnel of the arrow tower. A loud noise from Kerala, the entire wooden pillar was instantly broken. The funnel on the top tilted suddenly and fell down, and the archers fell down!

The Cao army's offensive was very fierce. Not long after, several city walls fell into fierce battles. Both sides roared bloody battles on the city walls, and saw the soldiers on both sides falling in pools of blood or rolling down the city walls.

The defenders continued to put their reserve forces into the city walls and fought until the afternoon, and there was no reserve force in their hands! However, Cao's offensive showed no signs of weakening, but became more and more fierce!

With a loud bang, the East City Gate was finally broken!

Cao's army outside the city gate immediately shouted and rushed in.

At this moment, countless thunders were thrown down and fell into the crowd, making waves of violent explosions, and the flames soared into the sky, and the shock waves overturned the people around them to the ground, and there were wailing on the spot.

"Crash with me!" Huang Zhong roared and led 20,000 Hussars to swarm out from the East City Gate, trampling on the Cao army's infantry, flying spears in his hands, waving blood all over the sky; the Cao army's infantry, caught off guard, was beaten to flee around like a storm.

More than 10,000 tigers and leopards waiting outside the city beat the war drums, the battle flag pointed at the city gate, and the iron hooves raised the smoke and dust in the sky and came to kill. At this moment, the Hussars could only fight. The cavalry of both sides collided under the city gate and fought fiercely. The roars moved to the ground today, and the chaotic horse hooves were like drumsticks beating the earth, and the sound of rumbling and thunder echoed in the sky.

The Cao army's tiger and leopard cavalry are different from ordinary cavalry. They were trained by Cao Cao following the example of Lu Bu's armored cavalry. Their men and horses were all wearing iron armor and were equipped with extremely hard equipment. The soldiers were all brave men in the army. After careful training, they were extremely fierce. Huang Zhong's Hussar was determined to be archers and cavalry who won speed. The melee under the city was suitable for the tiger and leopard cavalry, but they were not suitable for the Hussars.

As soon as the cavalry on both sides fought, the hussars, such as light bow and arrow cavalry, were immediately at a disadvantage. The long halberd of the tiger and leopard cavalry, killed the Hussars and overturned the horses, but the light hussars were difficult to cause damage to the tiger and leopard cavalry. However, the Hussars were completely crazy at this moment, and they attacked the enemy one after another, one after another, staining the battlefield with blood! That momentum was eye-catching! The tiger and leopard cavalry killed the people and horses, and became more and more courageous as they fought.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, and nearly 20,000 Hussars killed only less than 2,000 people left. Cao's army also suffered a considerable loss, and there were two or three thousand people who died in the battle.

Kill! A roar like a tsunami came from the city gate, and another 20,000 Hussars rushed out and joined the battlefield to attack the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army. Although the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army were strong, they had an inevitable disadvantage. They were both heavy cavalry like the armored iron cavalry under Zhang Lang's command. Although the heavy cavalry was amazing, they had the shortcomings of insufficient endurance. At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army had been fighting for more than an hour, and their men and horses were exhausted and completely lost their previous momentum! Now facing the 20,000 new forces that were killed, they couldn't help feeling weak.

Twenty thousand Hussars rushed wildly, and they greeted the tiger and leopard cavalry with a long spear and a light knife. Seeing the elite tiger and leopard cavalry falling down, of course, the Hussars paid a greater price in this process.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao frowned and quickly ordered the 20,000 light cavalrymen who were preparing for war in the Central Army to be put into the battlefield. The 20,000 light cavalry shouted and used it to resist the impact of the Hussars. The tiger and leopard rode down at this opportunity to retreat and rest.

The light cavalry on both sides fought fiercely for a moment, and the light cavalry of Cao's army showed signs of defeat. Huang Zhong stopped his horse and arrowed at the generals in the enemy's tide, and saw the enemy generals falling down one by one.

Seeing that his cavalry was not good, Cao Cao immediately ordered another 20,000 light cavalry to be put into battle.
