    Luoyang was originally the capital of the world, but it was almost completely burned down by Dong Zhuo.

    After Xia Houyuan took over Luoyang, he worked hard to manage it and finally gave 200,000 people a place to live.

    Therefore, when they knew that Dong Zhuo was coming, they were furious and volunteered to join the defense of the city.

    Cao Cao was overjoyed and recruited 30,000 men at once, and the number of city defenders reached 150,000.

    Although Luoyang is dilapidated, the city wall is still in good condition. It has one-half of Dong Zhuo's troops, which is enough to guard it.

    In fact, Cao Cao was not so anxious at first and did not need civilian husbands, but the news that Dongyang Hou was coming made him very nervous.

    No matter what, you can¡¯t lose face, right?

    Luoyang must be defended no matter what!

    This is Cao Cao¡¯s only belief now.

    Dong Zhuo came in anger, and his army arrayed under the city, inviting Cao Cao to come out for a dialogue.

    He sat on the Taishi chair, holding umbrellas on his left and right sides.

    "Cao Mengde, I treat you well. Why do you become my enemy again and again? Do you really think you are Liu Dingfang?"

    Cao Cao twisted his lips and was almost angry to death by Dong Zhuo. In his eyes, Liu Ke was the only one who bullied him?

    Don¡¯t forget that in the migration battle, Cao¡¯s army contributed the most!

    "Dong Zhongying, go back to your Chang'an and lord it over yourself! Luoyang is already someone's territory and you are not welcome!"

    Dong Zhuo suddenly burst out laughing and said, "How poor are you if you pick up little old shoes?"

    "You" Cao Cao was furious. After all, Luoyang was really abandoned by Dong Zhuo.

    "If you have the ability, attack us! If you don't have the ability, just get out!"

    Dong Zhuo¡¯s face twitched with fat as he said, ¡°Where is Emperor Xian? As long as you hand it over, I will not embarrass you.¡±

    "Hand it to you, Lao Mu!" Cao Cao yelled directly.

    Dong Zhuo was really angry and ordered the Flying Bear Army to fight.

    The Xiliang cavalry ran wildly. After reaching a certain position, they suddenly turned and shot arrows towards Luoyang.

    Cao Cao was frightened by the sudden change and hurriedly shrank his head and hid.

    After a wave of arrows, the Flying Bear Army retreated to its original position.

    This is the cavalry and archery that Liu Ke dreams of. Lu Bu's assault cavalry is almost as well trained, at least no worse than the Flying Bear Army in front of him.

    Cao Cao was forced to retreat, Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and Cao Cao blushed with shame.

    The deployment of troops and horses this time was too harsh, and Yanzhou's defense was empty.  Twenty thousand new troops were led by Xiahou Dun to defend Yuan Shao.

    Therefore, the mass army currently led by Cao Cao is only used to defend the city, which is definitely enough.

    ??At least that¡¯s what he thinks.

    After Dong Zhuo played a trick on Cao Cao, he ordered an attack on the city. Suddenly trumpets sounded, and the Xiliang army marched towards Luoyang like a tide.

    When Cao Cao saw this scene, he couldn't help but take a breath. Why can the Xiliang army still have such momentum?

    Eating, drinking and having fun did not dampen their spirits.

    The main attacker this time is Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, who has been active since the He Jin period.

    ¡°The whole army is listening, the first person to attack the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!¡± Dong Min shouted.

    Sure enough, everyone started to go berserk and rushed towards Luoyang desperately.

    Countless ladders were set up, and Cao Cao couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

    "Block them!" Cao Cao said.

    The defenders took action one after another, throwing stones and pouring boiling water under the city.

    For a while, Dong Zhuo's army suffered heavy casualties, but it was full of blood.

    They were not afraid of death and climbed up one after another.

    The troops in the front line usually have shields, one for each hand. They hold the big shield and climb step by step.

    If they unfortunately die in battle, those who follow will pick up their shields and move on.

    Seeing that his own horse could not attack the city wall for a long time, Dong Min once again offered a reward: "Promoted to the third level!"

    When the Xiliang army heard these words, it was as if they had been given blood, and someone finally rushed forward.

    "Hahaha, a thousand gold coins are mine, and I can also be promoted to a third-level officer!" A corps commander laughed.

    Soon, he could no longer laugh, and Xia Houyuan shot an arrow through his throat.

    He covered his neck in pain and fell from the city wall again.

    The scene was very bloody.

    The Xiliang army attacked the city and began a difficult fight.

    Cao Cao had many generals, but none of themThe stock brains were sent there, but they were asked to take a good rest.

    Because even he doesn¡¯t know how long the battle will last.

    The first moment was so difficult.

    After repelling Dong Zhuo's first wave of attacks, Cao Cao took advantage of the gap in the substitutions on the opposite side and asked Cao Ren's troops to replace Xia Houyuan.

    "Well done, as expected of my brother, he rushed to the top of the city in no time." Dong Zhuo praised.

    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to my brother!¡± Dong Min said with a smile.

    Dong Zhuo did not expect that the first wave of attacks could reach the city wall. He also knew that Cao Mengde was a difficult figure.

    The next person in charge of attacking the city was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

    This guy has been fighting Bai Bo and Yellow Turban before, so he has experienced hundreds of battles.

    Although he loses more and wins less, it is undeniable that he has rich experience.

    Dong Zhuo¡¯s sons-in-law, Li Ru and Niu Fu, were both outstanding in both literature and military affairs.

    Niu Fu didn¡¯t care what strategy he had, he just beat the drum and charged, crushing the enemy with blood.

    Although the losses were heavy, the effect was also very significant. They attacked the city several times, but Cao Ren was able to resolve it every time.

    After an hour, they all retreated.  This rotation continued until night, and then the troops were withdrawn.

    "Damn it!" Niu Fu was very worried about his failure to capture Luoyang.

    "Don't worry, good son-in-law. Don't be anxious about making achievements. Cao Mengde is probably scared to death by you guys today, haha!" Dong Zhuo laughed.

    But when he thought of Emperor Xian running away secretly, he couldn't laugh anymore.

    Damn Wang Yun, hateful Cao Cao, they all deserve to die!

    Li Ru, who had disappeared for a day, reappeared and said: "Lord, we have built twenty wells and they will be used in the siege tomorrow."

    Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. With these weapons, why worry about not leaving Luoyang?

    On the other side, Cao Cao was visiting the wounded soldiers.

    On the first day, three thousand people were killed and five thousand were injured.

    How can you play with this?

    Especially when he saw the shocking wounds of his subordinates, Cao Cao was even more disgusted, but he bravely went up and asked, "Does it hurt?"

    "It doesn't hurt!" the soldier replied tenaciously.

    "Okay, you must take good care of your injuries. I, Cao Mengde, can't live without you, and I can't live without you!" Cao Cao said emotionally.

    After leaving the wounded barracks, Cao Cao suddenly frowned.  If this continues, in just half a month, the entire Luoyang will lose its combat effectiveness!

    "It's absolutely terrible."

    "My lord, we will always be by your side!" Xia Houyuan said loyally.

    The same is true for Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc.

    "Alas, am I really not the Ming Lord?" Cao Cao said pessimistically.

    "My lord loves his soldiers as much as his sons, how can you say that? As long as you persist, what does Dong Zhuo care about? We have the final say in the whole world!" Yu Jin said.

    Cao Cao didn¡¯t criticize Yu Jin¡¯s arrogance, but he didn¡¯t object either. Maybe that¡¯s what he really thought in his heart.

    Suddenly, the savior came to report that the Marquis of Dongyang entered Hulao Pass and took over the task of defending the city.

    Cao Cao felt a chill in his heart, Marquis Dongyang was so fast, and at the same time, he couldn't help but cheer up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
