472 Seize Luoyang 2

Gao Lan and Han Meng paid more than a thousand casualties, and the lightning speed brought Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass into his pocket. The two of them immediately reorganized the surrendered troops and posted notices to stabilize the people's hearts and open warehouses to release grain. Of course, the captured soldiers could only be coolies, they could only build city walls and fortifications, quickly improve the defense capabilities of Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, and prepare to welcome the attack of Cao Cao's army.

At this time, outside Luoyang City, the 30,000 troops led by Taishi Ci, Ju Su and Guan Hai also arrived. The purpose was to keep General Xiahou Yuan's 30,000 troops and never let him escape from Luoyang.

General Xiahou Yuan in Luoyang City had not received the order from Cao Cao to withdraw his troops at this time. Seeing Daxiong's army coming, he was calm and immediately organized his soldiers to make strict defenses and prepare for tenacious resistance. After all, General Xiahou Yuan was one of the most capable generals under Cao Cao. Of course, General Xiahou Yuan was indeed capable. He had a good way of leading troops in history, especially in cavalry combat. Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was extremely brave under his command, and it was difficult for him to have an opponent in the world. The most rare thing is that Xiahou Yuan was familiar with military books and was also a good general. He was highly valued by Cao Cao and made great achievements for Cao Cao and Wei.

After the arrangement was made, Xiahou Yuan also knew that Luoyang City is no longer the same as before, and its entire defense ability is basically not different from field battles. In addition, Xun You and Xun Yu have always praised the greatness of the Big Bear Army since they came to Jinyang City. This made the generals under Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief and want to fight with the Big Bear Army to experience whether the Big Bear Army is really powerful or a false reputation.

Xiahou Yuan was indeed very good at leading troops to fight. When he saw Taishici's army reaching the city of Luoyang, he knew that although the Big Bear Army used war horses to travel during the march, it was driving fast and the soldiers' physical strength was still huge. Xiahou Yuan immediately led his army out of the city, hoping to give Taishici's army a warning. He thought that his soldiers were waiting for their work. If he attacked now, he would not suffer any loss. Maybe he could still win in one battle.

It is unrealistic to think about Xiahou Yuan. The opponents he faces are well-trained, rich practical experience, and has been fighting bloody battles for a long time. Over the years, the Big Bear Army has never encountered any kind of enemies, any hard-to-kill bones, and any kind of big battles. Xiahou Yuan’s own soldiers, when they meet the toughest opponents, but no outside calls, are Lu Bu, and other opponents are basically thieves like the Yellow Turban Army, which can be compared with the fierce Xianbei clan, the Huns and other iron cavalry.

When Taishi Ci saw Xiahou Yuan leading the army out of the city, he wanted to give himself a warning, he laughed and immediately asked General Guan Hai to lead 10,000 soldiers of the Rising Bear Army to quickly form a formation. First, use the crossbow arrows in his hand to shoot the enemy. This is to use the strengths of the Big Bear Army soldiers' weapons and equipment, and use the power of long-range crossbow arrows to kill the enemy.

The soldiers of the Big Bear Army had very high tactical skills. Under the command of General Guan Hai, the formation was soon completed. The three thousand soldiers of the Risky Bear Army in front raised the crossbow in their hands and waited for the general's order. Guan Hai saw that Xiahou Yuan's army had entered the shooting range and immediately ordered the shooting. In an instant, 30,000 fierce arrows flew into the enemy formation. Some of the enemy soldiers were shot like hornets' nests. More than a thousand soldiers died and their offensive was suppressed.

After the first batch of soldiers of the Beast Army fired a box of crossbow arrows, they immediately took a few steps back in an irregular manner. The other three thousand soldiers of the Beast Army followed took a few steps forward, raised the crossbow in their hands, and carried out a second wave of shooting at Xiahou Yuan's army. More than a thousand soldiers were shot. When the third batch of soldiers of the Beast Army shot the box of crossbow arrows in their hands, the army under Xiahou Yuan lost nearly four thousand lives in a moment.

Xiahou Yuan was shocked. In just a moment, thousands of soldiers were missing. He had not had time to shoot at his opponent, which made Xiahou Yuan very depressed and angry. His army was extremely chaotic, and the soldiers shouted and cursed, running around, and the formation was in chaos. How could he fight with the opponent?

When Taishi Ci saw the enemy's chaos, he immediately led 20,000 Feixiong soldiers to kill the generals and fight on the plains. The cavalry was actually reaping lives and slaughtering the extremely chaotic infantry. The cavalry used the speed of the horses to attack the enemy unscrupulously, and the sabers in his hands were constantly chopping and killing. It was really called destroying and invincible.

Only then did Xiahou Yuan realize the power of the Big Bear Army soldiers. He also knew that the best way to deal with cavalry was to use cavalry, but he only had a pitiful 500 cavalry under his command, which was the enemy's opponent. If he rushed up, he would have more lives. Besides, the cavalry in his hand was reluctant to be missing. After he was missing, he went there to build a war horse.

Xiahou Yuan was helpless, so he had to order a quick retreat with tears in his eyes, otherwise his 20,000 troops would be destroyed. Taishi Ci, Guan Hai ignored his pain and immediately led the Feixiong Army to chase and kill him. The Brutal Bear Army ended up behind. This is really called beating the fallen water dog.

After Xiahou Yuan retreated into Luoyang City, he found that only four or five thousand soldiers were fleeing into the city through counting. The other soldiers were either killed in battle or captured. Xiahou Yuan's heart was bleeding. In just a moment, he lost 15,000 soldiers, asking him how to defend the dilapidated Luoyang City next.

After Taishici's army cleaned the battlefield, Ju Su immediately suggested: "General Ziyi, our army cannot give Xiahou Yuan a chance to escape. Our army can carry forward the glorious tradition of continuous combat, not afraid of fatigue, and hard work. Tonight, the problem in Luoyang will be completely solved, so that Hongnong's Zhang Ji army will not have time to prepare, and our army can attack Hongnong at a speed of lightning speed.

At the fifth day of the fifth day, Taishi Ci asked more than ten engineers to lurk under the Luoyang city walls, buried the explosives bag, straightened the firing line, and retreated to the front of the army. After hearing Taishi Ci's order, the engineers immediately lit the firing line, and the firing line emitted a flashing light, like ghost fire, and found a chirping sound, burning quickly.

In just a moment, a loud rumbling sound was heard. The heavens knocked down a huge thunder, and the sound like thunder was deafening, resounding throughout the sky, frightening the sleeping people. The dilapidated city wall of Luoyang City also collapsed with the loud noise. The soldiers guarding the city standing on the city wall were frightened by the huge sound. But when they saw the city wall being shaken, they were even more scared and as if they were stunned.

Taishici immediately led a large army to kill into the city. When he met the stunned enemy soldiers, he didn't say anything, and took a knife to see the King of Hell. Many of the soldiers guarding the city under Xiahou Yuan had not yet woken up from the shock, and even threw their heads away, but they didn't know what was going on. After the Big Bear Army soldiers rushed into the city, although they woke up, the fear in the hearts did not disappear, and they were even more panicked, only knowing to run around.

Xiahou Yuan, who was sleeping, was also awakened by the loud thunderous sound. He immediately stood up and prepared to check what was wrong. His deputy general Cai Yang ran in and said in panic: "General, the soldiers of the Big Bear Army are coming into the city."

Xiahou Yuan was indeed a good general. He immediately organized his soldiers to resist tenaciously, but the situation was hopeless and the defeat was irreversible. Especially when he saw his soldiers frightened, he seemed even more powerless. Although the five hundred cavalry under him were fighting to the death, he felt weak and powerless in the face of the extremely powerful elite army of Big Bear, and there was no way to do anything.

Xiahou Yuan and dozens of his personal soldiers were besieged by Taishi Ci's tens of thousands of troops. The crossbows in his hands were aimed at the besieged people, although they were still struggling to death, they only exhausted the lives of their personal soldiers. Xiahou Yuan sighed to the sky and experienced the strength of the Big Bear Army with his own personal experience. This was something they could not imagine before, but it was too late now.

Taishici said loudly: "General Xiahou Yuan, put down his weapons and surrender, otherwise you and your subordinates will only be penetrated by thousands of arrows. As for your life and death? My lord said that he will let you back to Lao Cao."

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly. He wanted to end his life with death, but when he thought of going back alive to report the details of the Big Bear Army to his lord, he could only live a life of silence and endure humiliation. Finally, he reluctantly put down the spear in his hand and ordered all soldiers to stop resisting.

At the end of the battle, Taishi Ci, Ju Su and Guan Hai led the army to occupy Luoyang without any casualties, and captured Xiahou Yuan and deputy general Cai Yang. This was a happy victory, completely annihilated Cao Cao's 40,000 troops, and also let General Xiahou Yuan know what kind of army is worthy of being called an elite army.
