Therefore, at present, if Man Chong wants to defend Luoyang, he not only has to face the vanguard of Zhang Liao's army, but also the knife stabbed by the children of the gentry behind him. For these children of the gentry who had long wanted to escape from Heluo, Luoyang belongs to the Han Dynasty and the emperor's face, not theirs, and has nothing to do with them.

The man is going to be finished!

They would also shout, but if they really wanted them to do something, they would spread their hands, "What does this have to do with me?"

Although Luoyang has not yet returned to its grand occasion, it does not mean that it cannot be defended at all.

After all, after the continuous construction, reinforcement and expansion over the past two hundred years, the entire capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was larger than that of a horse.

In a short period of time, Man Chong used his best efforts to repair the city defense facing the west and repaired some loopholes on the other three sides. If the Cavalry Army did not come in large-scale troops and did not use firearms on a large scale, they could still defend the city wall for a period of time and wait for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements.

But will the Cavalry Army honestly use conventional tactics?

Obviously impossible.

Therefore, Man Chong was forced to make some arrangements in advance, hoping to use these arrangements to delay the time when the Cavalry Army captured Luoyang.

For example, Yique Pass.

The question facing Man Chong is whether Zhang Liao knew the secret of Yique Pass or just happened to run into it?

If it was just a coincidence, then Man Chong would attack now and he might be hit by Zhang Liao's counterattack.

It would be fine if Zhang Liao defeated, but if he led the army but lost, he would not have thought that Luoyang would immediately scatter. The various defense systems and fortifications laid out in the original form have become in vain!

But if you don’t go to the battle and let Zhang Liao take down Yique Pass first, then the arrangements made at Yique Pass before will be completely useless...

A guarding place requires not only a perfect city defense, sufficient guards, sufficient food, but also a source of water that will not be cut off. If there is no way to pick wood, there must be no burning, but also a sufficient and capable defender. Around this defense area, there must be a buffer of support, and reinforcements can also rely on these support areas to assist.

And now, Man Chong’s support is the arrangement of these passes around Luoyang!

If Yique fights without help, will the people from Taigu and Zhuyuan Pass still have strong beliefs?

If all these passes around Luoyang are lost, how long can one Luoyang be left?

Once the rear path is cut off, the supply will be cut off.

And the key is to have people’s hearts and morale!

The reinforcements were still unknown. Even though they were as firm as a favorite, they dared not say that he could guard the lonely city of Luoyang for a few days!

Above the city wall, the Cao army's flag was rushing in the wind, and the soldiers around were watching Man Chong.

Man Chong pressed his hands on the battlements of the city wall, and the dark purple lines on the cracked blue bricks seemed to be the blood that had penetrated into it before. Man Chong's face and body were no longer as elegant and romantic as he had in Yingchuan before, dusty, and his hair was also uneasy and restlessly crawled out of his crown. Anyone could see that Man Chong was now very tired, but Man Chong's waist was still straight and did not collapse.

This is one of the reasons why Man Chong is still willing to follow Man Chong...

Man Chong scanned Luoyang City over and over again, scanned his soldiers, scanned the fortifications outside Luoyang City, as well as Beimang Mountain in the distance, and Yique Pass to the south.

From the perspective of the battlefield, it is unreasonable for Zhang Liao to march Yique Pass. After all, if you come out of Hangu Pass, you can go directly to Luoyang along the Gushui, and then camp at the location where Luoshui and Gushui gather. You can march into Luoyang near you. Normally, Yique Pass is hidden behind Luoyang. After all, there is a little distance between you and Yishui.

But the problem is that Zhang Liao has now passed the Gushui and Luoshui, and went directly to Yique Pass!

So what should I do?

On the surface, Zhang Liao's vanguard was a distance from the central army of the cavalry. Now that Zhang Liao is attacking Yique Pass, it is equivalent to exposing the back of Man Chong in Luoyang!

If Man Chong's profession is an assassin, he would have been unable to help but launch a backstab now!

What a good position this is!

but……

Will Zhang Liao's cavalry suddenly attack once he led his troops to attack? This is actually a flaw that Zhang Liao deliberately revealed?

Or stay here, try to block the passage of the Cavalry to the east as much as possible, and separate Zhang Liao and the Cavalry from both sides, waiting for Shandong to come or may be reinforcements that will never come?

Of course, if you continue here, Man Chong can imagine that it is more likely to be a two-sided attack!

If Mengjin in the north also falls, it will be three sides!

Double or even triple the "surprise"!

At that time, even if Man Chong wants to defend it, he will definitely not be able to defend it! It is impossible for the children of the gentry in the city who had long been dissatisfied with Man Chong to secretly prostrate the city gate!

The guard beside Man Chong whispered: "Langjun, what should we do now? If Yique cannot defend, the Cavalry Army can attack from the West Gate and the South Gate! Our Ximen City is OK, but here on the South Gate Luoshui... If the Cavalry Army really comes from the south, then the ship we stayed in Luoshui...why should we move the ship first?"

Man Chong gritted his teeth and said, "How to move? Now all the people are staring at me. As soon as we move, Luoyang City will immediately change its flag and become a cavalry army! If the ship we left in Luoshui is discovered by the people in the city, do you believe it or not and flee that day?! The congestion of Luoshui will not flow! By then, the situation in Luoyang will be really robbed! All the efforts and preparations we made before will be in vain!"

The guard had no choice but to respond, and after a while, he said, "But, Mr. Lang, do we still have reinforcements?"

Man Chong snorted and whispered: "It will come... The sky is about to fall. Although we dare not say that we can turn the sky alone, we can hold on for a while, even for a while!"

The guard looked up at the sky, "Mr., what if...if you can't hold on to this sky?"

Man Chong smiled, "If you can't hold on, then you will naturally die... People will always die, just die sooner or later! Sent the order!"
Chapter completed!
