Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 346 Night Attack ([-])

Fighting outside the city was in full swing, while inside the city was undercurrents.

From Cheng Yi's mouth, Liu Yu learned all of Cheng Gongying's plans, but he was very contemptuous of Han Sui's idea, and rashly counterattacking without knowing the strength and combat power of both sides would only make the battle situation worse. Oops.

A bad plan will inevitably lead to a bad battle situation, and Liu Yu will naturally not let go of this opportunity to exaggerate the outcome of the victory.

Originally, he said at the north gate that he would capture the four gates of Luoyang in one night just to boost morale. From this point of view, it would take only a few hours to take over the city defense of the four gates.

The west gate of Luoyang was easily captured by Liu Yu with his three-inch tongue, while the enemy soldiers at the south gate and east gate were going out of the city to fight back according to Cheng Gongying's plan.

So Liu Yuxian sent Niu Jin to lead the way and lead Zhang Fei's army to fight against Luoyang Dongdaying.

Immediately afterwards, the defense of the west gate was handed over to Zhang Xiu, while Liu Yu personally led troops to attack the south gate of Luoyang.

When Liu Yu arrived near the alley in the south of the city with five thousand soldiers from the Jingyuan Battalion, Zhao Pan, the intelligence chief who had been living here, hurried over to report.

"My lord, just now someone from the South Gate Barracks said that he would ask Yan Xing to help patrol the nearby city defenses, but the villain rejected him because he had something important to do here!"

Guarding the alley in the south of the city and cutting off the news that Yan Xing was killed was the task Liu Yu assigned to Zhao Pan. Liu Yu nodded appreciatively when he heard that he did a good job.

But now Liu Yu is about to attack Luoyang South Gate from the city, so the defense here can be removed.

In addition, Liu Yu had an idea, since Zhao Pan had met the enemy soldiers in the South Gate barracks, he might as well ask him to continue pretending to be Yan Xing's subordinates to gain the gate of the enemy camp.

"Zhao Pan stepped forward to listen to the order. There is an important matter that needs you to take someone to do it!" Liu Yu whispered in his ear, and Zhao Pan and others had just found a new organization, and it was the time when they were eager to make contributions. After speaking, I went to Nan Daying without hesitation.

In fact, the task Liu Yu arranged for Zhao Pan was neither complicated nor dangerous. He just asked him to take someone to deliver a letter to the southern barracks, saying that General Yan Xing was willing to lead troops to help defend Luoyang's southern city gate.

The deputy general of the South Gate Barracks did not dare to be negligent after receiving the news. One was that the military adviser Cheng Gongying had proposed Yan Xing to assist the city defense before the troops were dispatched, and the other was that Yan Xing was the son-in-law of Hussar General Han Sui. He could be called the second in command in the army. Dare to ignore his orders.

Therefore, the deputy general immediately called his subordinates out of the camp to welcome the arrival of "Yan Xing", but what the deputy general didn't know was that Yan Xing had been dead for several hours.

Liu Yu followed a hundred cavalrymen behind him on horseback, and he did not slow down when he came to the barracks. The lieutenant standing outside the barracks gate thought that the comer was Yan Xing's personal soldier, so he didn't dare to go up and stop him.

Suddenly a cold light flashed, Liu Yu raised the knife and landed there, the head of the lieutenant general rolled to the ground, and the other gatekeepers were all horrified, before they could react, they were hacked to pieces by Bai Shiqi mud.

And at this moment, Liu Yu waved his hand, and thousands of soldiers from the Jingyuan Camp hidden in the darkness swarmed into the enemy's South Gate camp.

All the gatekeepers here were killed, and the remaining pawns became headless chickens. After half an hour of chaos, the entire barracks was completely controlled by the Habayashi army.

After occupying the south gate, Liu Yu did not order repairs on the spot, but called Zhang Ji, the commander of Jingyuan Battalion, to come.

"General Zhang Ji listened to the order and ordered you to quickly lead two thousand troops out of the city to help Ma Chao and Zhong Yao, and be sure to wipe out all the enemy soldiers outside the city!"

"The last general takes orders! I will definitely not disappoint the lord!"

Liu Yu was going to fight fast to completely wipe out the enemy soldiers near the south gate, but when Zhang Ji cupped his fists and turned to leave, he heard the lieutenant general Hu Che'er running to report.

"My lord, a great victory came from the south of the city. The little general Ma Chao and the counselor Zhong Yao wiped out all the enemy soldiers who left the city!"

"Haha, that's great!" Liu Yu slapped his thigh and shouted praise after hearing the words, "Hurry up to welcome Ma Chao and Zhong Yao into the city, and order them to go to the north gate to help in the battle! General Zhang Ji stayed behind to guard the south gate, and the others Follow me to fight the imperial city!"

Liu Yu took Zhang Ren and Zhong Yao straight to the Luoyang Imperial City, while the enemy camp in the east of the city was also being recruited by Zhang Fei.

It turned out that Zhang Heng, the guard of the east gate, was defeated by Han Dang's troops outside the city, so he sent his own soldiers to the city to rescue them. Just as the team was gathering to leave the city, Zhang Fei led his people to rush there.

The main general was trapped outside the city, and now the barracks was attacked by the enemy, and the soldiers who stayed here suddenly fell into a bitter fight.

Zhang Fei's bravery can definitely be ranked in the top five. Under his leadership, the soldiers of the Tusan Battalion are like a steel knife cutting wantonly on a block of tofu.

The two sides fought for less than a stick of incense, and more than half of the enemy soldiers in the East Day Camp were killed or injured.

At this time, Niu Jin saw that the opponent's morale was completely low, so he rushed to the high ground and chanted the slogan of the original Xiliang army, and loudly persuaded the old troops that originally belonged to the Xiliang army to join him in the Zhongshan King Liu Yu's command.

The enemy soldiers have long since lost the fighting spirit to resist. If they do not surrender, they can only wait for death.

In addition, Liu Yu's name is definitely a gold-lettered signboard now, and the opponent immediately gave up resistance when he heard that the strongest man in the world led troops into the city.

The good news continued. Under the command of Commander-in-Chief Han Dang, the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion outside the city completely defeated Han Sui's army, and captured Zhang Heng, the old five of the "Banner Eight Riders" on the spot.

Zhang Fei and Han Dang discussed after meeting and decided that Han Dang would stay and guard the east gate, while Zhang Fei continued to lead the soldiers straight to the imperial city.

……

In the northern palace of the imperial city, Han Sui was fidgeting in the Chongde Hall. He sent three groups of messengers to the palace to investigate the military situation, but they all went without returning.

Although sometimes no news is the best news, but hearing the shouts of killing in the city getting closer, Han Sui, who was confident that he could stick to Luoyang for at least a few months, finally couldn't sit still.

During the daytime, the four city gates were suddenly attacked by invading soldiers. Han Sui discussed with his military adviser Cheng Gongying to occupy the enemy's city first, and then sent special envoys to join Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes from the surrounding areas to Luoyang to serve as king.

He even wrote the imperial decree and rewards for asking for help from the princes from all walks of life, but unfortunately before sending them out of the city, the invading soldiers began to fight.

Even so, Han Sui was still lucky at the moment. He felt that Liang Xing, Li Kan and others were sent to the north gate to occupy the enemy, and the military adviser Cheng Gongying offered a plan to fight back against the invading soldiers outside the city.

Even if the siege of the city cannot be solved by this battle, at least it can temporarily defeat the soldiers outside the city and give him time to ask the princes for help.

As long as the princes are willing to send troops to help, he can continue to dominate the city of Luoyang.

It's a pity that things backfired, not to mention Han Sui, even the officials trapped in the Nangong didn't expect that the invading soldiers outside the city would hit the gate of Pingcheng so quickly.

The Pingcheng Gate is the entrance to the imperial city, and after passing through this gate are the Sangong Mansion and the Nangong Palace.
