Zhang He and Xu Huang led their army to conduct military exercises on the border of Puyang and Beihai. The shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky and were deafening. They were all practical training with real swords and guns. Yu Jin in Puyang City and Cao Renhu in Beihai City were very careful. They were paying close attention and strictly preventing them, and they did not dare to relax at all. The soldiers and people in the city were worried, and they all thought that Big Bear's army was about to attack the city, and it was only a matter of time before the city fell.

Both Yu Jin and Cao Ren sent a quick horse to Xuchang to ask for reinforcements, saying that the Big Bear Army was murderous and would never give up until they captured the city. Cao Cao in Xuchang had just studied the response method, but the reinforcements had not yet set off, but the quick horses who asked for help had arrived. Old Cao dared to make mistakes and immediately sent a reinforcement army to Puyang and Beihai. Cao Cao personally went to Puyang to sit in the formation, and Beihai asked Xun You to assist Cao Ren in defense.

Cao Cao led a large army to Puyang and rushed forward, and the news that he had received the news that Zhang He's army had retreated. After listening to the detailed report of Yu Jin and Liu Yan, Cao Cao felt very depressed. What is this big bear doing? The army is coming like the wind and leaving without a trace. Isn't this consuming food and grass for nothing?

A few days later, Cao Cao also received a express report from Cao Ren, saying that the reinforcements had arrived in Beihai, and Xu Huang's army also retreated without any trace. They couldn't figure out what was going on, so they could only defend closely and send more posts.

For more than half a month since Cao Cao arrived in Puyang, he sent a large number of horses to inquire about the enemy situation every day. The news of the horses to be released was that Zhang He's army did not stop for a moment. One man and three cavalry took turns to transfer, marched overnight, and retreated directly to Liyang. The same was true for the information sent by Cao Ren from Beihai. It was said that Xu Huang's army retreated directly to Donglai, and there was no news again.

Cheng Yu, who was accompanying him, said: "Lord, the Big Bear Army looks really bluffing, not to attack Puyang and Beihai. This is a maze formation. The purpose is very obvious, just to restrain our army, with the purpose of Luoyang and Yongzhou."

Cao Cao stayed in Puyang for a few more days, and saw that Zhang He's army had no movement at all, so he had to lead the army back to Xuchang. Before Cao Cao led the army back to Xuchang, he was still halfway through, and he received a quick horse sent by Yu Jin, saying that Zhang He's army had arrived again, and the probe was conducting investigations around Puyang City.

After hearing this, Cao Cao did not dare to be arrogant. He immediately turned his head and led the army to reinforce Puyang. Of course, he also received a quick report from Cao Ren, saying that Xu Huang's army had arrived again, which made Cao Cao angry and sprayed Lu Ning's eighteen generation ancestors in his heart.

When Cao Cao led the army to Puyang City, he said that Zhang He's army retreated again, and there was no trace of it. Then he also received information about Xu Huang's army's retreat. After hearing this, Cao Cao was amused and laughed. He knew that he had been fooled again. He was so angry that he was furious in the government office.

Lao Cao's fire in the center of Puyang City was not yet extinguished, and a few days later he received Hulao Pass. Sishui Pass was lost and Luoyang fell. General Xiahou Yuan disappeared. Hao Zhao led a large army out of Guandu to threaten Chenliu. Zhang He's army was also secretly moving towards Chenliu.

After hearing this, Cao Cao shouted and cursed: "Lu Ning is against his son, he is too bullying!"

Although Cao Cao was angry, he immediately led his army to pounce on Chenliu. If Chenliu fell, Xuchang would no longer be able to defend him. He would turn into meat on the chopping board and would be cooked and eaten at any time.

However, Taishi Ci and Ju Su led 40,000 troops to fight to Luoyang, based on the intelligence collected by the General Staff and the combat plan formulated. Although General Xiahou Yuan led nearly 40,000 troops in Luoyang City, of which 5,000 troops were stationed at Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, and nearly 30,000 troops were stationed in Luoyang City. However, after Luoyang City was burned by Dong Zhuo's fire, there were basically ruins within 200 miles. The city wall was burned and the houses were turned into ashes. General Xiahou Yuan occupied Luoyang City for not long, and the restoration of the city wall was not completed. In addition, Cao Cao did not have so much money to build. The defense ability of the entire Luoyang City was very poor. Once an enemy attacked, it was no different from a decisive battle in the wild.

There are only dozens of households living in Luoyang City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is deserted. What is more serious is that the food and grass of Xiahou Yuan's army must rely on Chenliu for supplies. Once the food and grass supply line of the army is cut off, it means destruction.

After Taishi Ci and Ju Su landed in Mengjin Port, they immediately rushed to Gao Lan without stopping. Han Meng and his two men led 5,000 flying bear army and 5,000 violent bear army soldiers to directly kill Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass originally had only 5,000 soldiers guarding the city, and the troops guarding the city were few. In addition, they had always been strictly guarding the enemy outside the pass. In the pass, they were their own soldiers in Luoyang City. They never dreamed that the enemy would come from the pass. Moreover, when Gao Lan and Han Meng and the other two brought troops to fight, Ju Su had already chosen 200 elite soldiers to disguise themselves as common people and first sneak into the pass. When the night was fourth update, they would open the closed city gate. The city guard generals were Wang Zhi and Meng Tan. When Hulao Pass was lost, Wang Zhi and Meng

Tan and the other two escaped with hundreds of people. They dared to organize soldiers to resist. These two were completely fools. Of course, because Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang with a big fire, the entire Luoyang was in ruins, so what kind of people were still in flames? Therefore, the princes were not very interested in Hulao Pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass did not care. By the time the pass was lost, it was already raining. The entire Hulao Pass was taken down by Gao Lan that night, and Han Meng and his two led the army to kill him, only dozens of soldiers. This was done. More than 3,000 soldiers under Lao Cao were captured, and the others escaped to some unknown place. Gao Lan and Han Meng and the other left behind 2,000 troops, and the two led the army to kill at Sishui Pass.

The guardian of Sishui Pass is Qin Qi. This person is still a little capable. In history, he was killed by Guan Yu when he passed five passes and six generals, but it seemed that he was cut by Guan Yu before he could finish a round.

When Gao Lan and Han Meng led the army to Sishui Pass. Qin Qi at the pass saw that the Big Bear Army had only a little more troops, and immediately defended the city and sent a quick horse to ask Chen Liu for help. After all, everyone knew that the lack of the siege side was more than three times that of the defender. But Gao Lan and Han Meng gave him a chance. When the army arrived outside the pass, they immediately attacked after a little rest.

General Gao Lan asked General Han Meng to command the three thousand soldiers of the Risky Bear Army to line up and immediately shoot on the city wall with the crossbow in his hand. The first wave was uneven, some did not shoot on the city wall, some shot over the head, and some just fit. The first round of shooting had a very poor effect, which made Qin Qi, who was standing on the city wall, laugh endlessly.

Based on the first round of shooting, Han Meng immediately asked the soldiers to adjust the ruler and carry out the second wave of shooting. Qin Qi, who was standing on the city wall, had not stopped laughing, and suddenly, fierce crossbow arrows like raindrops flew towards the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city on the city wall shouted Lian Tian, ​​and Qin Qi was also scared to the point of pale face.

Han Meng saw the soldiers guarding the city wall hiding, and no one dared to look up to fight back. Even the general Qin Qi hid behind the female wall. Han Meng immediately sent more than a dozen engineers to move under the city wall. The soldiers of the Brutal Bear Army used the crossbow in their hands to continuously cover the city wall and covered the engineers to place explosives under the city wall.

Although Qin Qi, hiding on the female wall, saw several Big Bear soldiers moving towards the city wall, he did not dare to look up easily, so he had to direct his soldiers to shoot with a bow. But Qin Qi's archers showed their heads a little, and followed by the extremely cruel rain of arrows.

Although Qin Qi had some ability, when he saw this, he immediately ordered his soldiers to quickly find wooden boards, door boards and other things to defend the city wall. But he had no chance. Han Meng's engineers had already placed explosives under the city wall and the firing line was also placed.

After the engineer retreated, Han Mengma asked the soldiers to ignite the firing line. The firing line emitted a flashing flame, and quickly jumped and burned towards the city wall. Qin Qi on the city wall didn't know what the soldiers of the Big Bear Army were doing, so she could only watch the flashing flames burn quickly. He did not take any measures, nor did he know what measures to take. After all, he couldn't figure out what this thing was, so how to prevent it.

After a while, I suddenly heard several loud rumbling sounds, just like a thunderbolt hitting a few thunders on the city wall. The sound was deafening and scary. There was a constant scream on the city wall. What followed was the collapse of the city wall, which scared the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall and stood on the city wall in a daze.

When Gao Lan and Han Meng saw the city wall collapse, they immediately led a large army to kill inside the pass. The soldiers guarding the pass were still speechless and did not wake up from the fright. They were still standing there motionlessly in a daze.

Gao Lan and Han Meng led the soldiers into the pass and slaughtered violently. Many soldiers guarding the city died without knowing how many people died. They were probably confused on the way to the Huangquan. I really don’t know what they told the emperor when they arrived at the palace of the King of Hell, and they could only be fools when they went to the underworld.

Qin Qi, who was standing on the city wall in a daze, was awakened by his personal soldiers and told him that the Big Bear Army had entered the pass. After Qin Qi woke up, she wanted to organize the soldiers and soldiers to make the final resistance, but seeing that his soldiers were all dumb and no matter how they called, it would not have much effect. Qin Qi had to give up and chose to escape. He led hundreds of personal soldiers out of the city. Although he had a lot of shortcomings, he finally broke out of the city and saved his life.

The consequence of Qin Qi's escape was the large-scale surrender of his soldiers. This cannot be blamed on the soldiers. All the main generals escaped. The soldiers are also humans. They also want to save their lives. They can't be scapegoats. Their only way out is to surrender, otherwise what awaits them will be casualties.
