Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 341 Night Attack ([-])

The dark night made the three rockets look extraordinarily bright. The enemy general Liang Xing, who was directing his men to rescue the houses, felt his heart tighten when he saw it, as if something worse was about to happen.

Sure enough, at this moment, the north gate of Luoyang suddenly opened, and deafening shouts of killing roared from outside the city, and troops under the banner of the Baimai Battalion rushed in like tigers, and the battle seemed to tear the night apart Generally in pieces.

At the same time, countless torches were lit in Ma Teng's barracks, which turned out to be a seemingly silent camp.

In fact, the soldiers inside did not fall asleep at all, just waiting for the signal to come out of the camp to kill the enemy.

Under Liu Yu's reminder, both Zhang Liao and Ma Teng were ready for Han Suijun's comeback, and they each arranged an ambush for their men and agreed on a secret signal.

As the night approached, an army suddenly appeared outside the north gate, and it was Chen Dao and his Baimai camp that came.

According to the normal speed, it is estimated that Chen Dao and his Baimai Battalion should arrive before dawn, but after receiving the order, Chen Dao knew that the situation in Luoyang was urgent, so he divided his [-] men into two groups.

Among them, 5000 people traveled lightly and left all unnecessary items for the remaining 5000 people, so he rushed here half a day in advance.

And with Chen Dao's assistance, tonight's surprise attack will become more secure.

After negotiation between Zhang Liao, Chen Dao and Ma Teng, they first destroyed Liang Xing's original camp, and then made a gesture of retreating to the north gate on the surface.

As soon as Liang Xing led his troops here, he really focused his defense on the north gate, and neglected to check the uninhabited houses.

The soldiers of the Fourth Golden Battalion hiding here killed the enemy soldiers by surprise.

When Liang Xing found out that there was an ambush behind him, he was shocked and forcibly ordered the soldiers who were heading towards the north gate to return.

But the sight was blocked at night, Liang Xing also made a mistake in his busy schedule, and the military order he issued was somewhat vague, which caused the 5000 people who were originally in charge of guarding the North Gate to turn around and leave.

The enemy was about to retreat, Zhang Liao saw the timing and sent out a series of signals, so Chen Dao and Ma Teng led their soldiers to encircle them.

Ma Teng's subordinates had the same number of soldiers as Han Sui, but their combat power was half a rank stronger than Han Sui's. Under his personal leadership, tens of thousands of Ma's troops quickly broke through the opponent's chaotic defense line.

After Chen Dao rushed into the city gate with [-] white scorpion soldiers, he outflanked the city from the west side. Because of Liang Xing's command error, he couldn't organize an effective defense on this side at all.

In a melee of 5 to [-] people, once one side loses control, those little soldiers are like ants that have lost their antennae and can no longer form a joint force.

Soon the soldiers of the Fourth Golden Battalion commanded by Zhang Liao were the first to control the situation. Their 8000 men had an advantage against the [-] enemy soldiers. In addition, the opponents were still unarmed. After a unilateral massacre for a while, the opponents gave up resistance. Surrender.

Zhang Liao left [-] soldiers to collect prisoners, and took the remaining [-] soldiers to immediately outflank Liang Xing's camp from the other side.

The enemy camp had been damaged before and had not been repaired in time, so there was no defense at all at this time.

And the side Zhang Liao came to kill happened to be the safe rear area that Liang Xing and his men thought in their hearts, so the soldiers of the Fourth Jin Battalion almost didn't have to make much effort to kill them in the enemy camp.

Ma Teng brought out 5000 Majia troops, while Chen Dao had 2000 Baimu soldiers. Even if Zhang Liao left [-] men to guard the prisoners, there were still [-] soldiers.

But Liang Xing lost 3000 soldiers and horses without any preparation, and then because of his mistake, he was killed by Ma Teng and Chen Dao for a while, and another [-] people were lost.

Comparing the two sides, the number of soldiers and horses in the Habayashi Army is nearly three times that of Liang Xing's soldiers and horses.

At this time, Liang Xing had long since lost his previous confidence. He saw the opponent's aura like a rainbow through the faint moonlight, and more and more figures rushed towards his central army tent.

No matter how much Liang Xing boosted his morale, he couldn't organize an effective formation to fight back. Looking at the panicked subordinates around him, Liang Xing knew that this battle would undoubtedly be lost.

"Send someone to the imperial city to ask for help, and tell them that the main force of the siege is attacking this place together, so I beg the general Hussars to quickly bring troops to rescue!"

Although he knew that he would be defeated, Liang Xing did not dare to lead his troops to retreat. Once he retreated, these people in front of him would definitely attack the imperial city in one go.

At that time, not only these people in front of him will chase and kill him, but Han Sui may not spare his life.

After arranging his cronies to ask for help, Liang Xing drew his sword and chopped down several flustered pawns, and finally formed a defensive formation under his forceful suppression.

However, the disadvantages in terms of combat power and numbers are still obvious. After fighting for half an hour, Liang Xing lost tens of thousands of people, and the remaining less than 7000 people could only fight hard.

……

The shouts of killing from the direction of the north gate resounded throughout the city, and the people of Luoyang, who had experienced the threat of war several times, all chose to stay behind closed doors.

It's not because the people believe that the soldiers defending the city will be able to defend the enemy outside the city, but because it is indeed safer to hide at home than to run around.

At this time, people from the Warlord's Battalion can be seen everywhere on the street. In addition to supervising the escape of soldiers during the war, they also have the duty of controlling the chaos of the people.

"Anyone who leaves the house without permission during the war will be killed without mercy!"

After Cheng Yi appeased the guards at the west gate, he led hundreds of soldiers from the Warlord's Battalion to patrol the streets.

The sound of fighting at the north gate made him a little flustered. In fact, it was not only he who was worried about defending Luoyang City, but also the other generals who were more or less showing timidity.

The defense of Luoyang city was indestructible, but the counterattack army came too fast, Han Sui and his gang were besieged from all sides before they could fill the loophole in the upper north gate.

"Ahead is General Cheng Yi?"

A group of soldiers wearing the same costumes came from the opposite side, Cheng Yi judged from the voice that it should be Cheng Gongying, the military adviser who reported to the palace, had returned.

Both of them were assigned to the Sanmen to appease the soldiers, but when they heard the news of the battle from the North Gate, the military adviser Cheng Gongying went back to the palace to discuss with Han Sui.

He must have received the latest instructions when he returned to join Cheng Yi again.

Sure enough, when Cheng Yi stepped forward, the military adviser Cheng Gongying immediately took out the imperial edict.

"The battle situation at the north gate is critical. General Li Kan is leading troops to rescue. General Hussars has an order to send troops to attack the enemy camp outside the city at the same time to relieve the pressure on the north gate!"

Cheng Gongying briefly talked about the battle situation at the North Gate, and then explained the order in the imperial decree.

Both he and Han Sui believed that Liu Yu and Ma Teng must have received support from the other three besieging soldiers outside the city for the sudden strong attack on the north gate, so going out of the city to counterattack at this time would surely defeat the besieging soldiers in one fell swoop.

Cheng Yi didn't have any objections, and after arranging his subordinates to continue patrolling the streets, he took the imperial decree to the direction of Ximen.

Cheng Gongying led the people straight to the south gate.

Not long after the two left, two figures jumped down from a big tree nearby.

"It seems that Zhang Liao and Ma Teng's surprise attack should have succeeded!" Liu Yu smiled slightly at this point, and turned to look at Zhang Ren.

"We won't be going back to the north gate for the time being. I don't know if Yiyi has the guts to go with me to the enemy camp at the west gate?"

"To the Ximen enemy camp?"

Zhang Yiren didn't understand Liu Yu's plan for a while, but he had always been desperate in his bones, otherwise he would not have agreed to Yang Biao's plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

So he replied almost without hesitation: "The lord has an order, and I will die!"

After hearing this, Liu Yu signaled him to relax, "There is no need to be nervous about righteousness. Didn't you listen to what Cheng Gongying said just now? Maybe you can control the Ximen guards!"
