Chapter 99: Attack on Xingyang at night

Outside Xingyang City, the head of Baiyun Village.

Dong Min was surrounded by Zhou Yu's three layers of Mali, and he waved the sword in his hand in vain and tried to fight a path of blood. But all he got was more wounds besides arrow wounds on his thighs.

Dong Min finally couldn't hold on and stopped. At this moment, he was gasping for breath, his face was white, but his eyes were blood-red. Dong Min realized that tonight might be the last night of his life, so he couldn't help but sigh, simply threw down the sword in his hand, looked up at the night sky, but unfortunately the night sky was confused and there was no starlight at all.

Wang Yue ordered coldly: "Come here, tie Dong Min up!"

Immediately, several strong soldiers surrounded him and pressed Dong Min on the horse, tied his hands and feet with the horse's body with a rope. From a distance, it looked like Dong Min was lying on the horse's back.

Zhou Yu led the personal soldiers and the female barracks to stand solemnly on the bridge to watch the battle. There is no suspense tonight's battle tonight, and the most critical next plan is about to begin...

A rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. Zhou Yu looked up and saw people everywhere he looked. It was probably Zang Ba who led the cavalry of the scout camp to gallop. Sure enough, after a while, Zhou Yu saw Zang Ba's excited face. Behind Zang Ba, the soldiers of the scout camp were gathering the Xiliang war horses collected in the black pine forest. Zhou Yu counted it roughly, and there were five or six hundred horses. A happy smile floated on Zhou Yu's cheek.

Zang Ba happily got off his horse and ran towards Zhou Yu, shouting as he ran: "Brother~Brother, with so many war horses, should I increase troops to my scout camp?"

On the third night of the fourth month of the first year of Chuping, Zhou Yu led his troops outside Xingyang City to defeat Dong Min's army. Dong Min was captured, and the five thousand Western Liang cavalry he led were all lost. Zhang Ji took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The night is deep, and the east gate of Xingyang City.

A small Xiyuan Army officer led more than ten soldiers to patrol the city tower. Looking at the dark night outside the city, the school couldn't help but mutter a few words: "Damn it, General Dong took Xiliang cavalry out of the city tonight to attack. It was rare that no one cared about it. He was about to go out for a happy and happy life, but he was arranged to patrol the city gate such a mess..."

A veteran behind the school smirked twice, and leaned into the school's ear and said, "General, it's almost dawn. It seems that nothing will happen tonight. Why don't we go out and let the two of us lead the people to patrol?"

The little school's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with joy. He patted the veteran's shoulder with his hands and said, "Ten, you have a way, haha."

After saying that, the school ordered the tallest and strongest Erlangzi in the team to continue patrolling with people, and then he led his tendon down the city tower.

A folk song was singing between the lips of the school. The school raised its eyebrows proudly and walked down the city tower happily. Suddenly, the two lame men on the city tower shouted: "General! There is something wrong! Come quickly!"

The school immediately felt like a basin of cold water pouring from the top of his head, which suddenly disappeared from his passion. He couldn't help but feel angry and replied angrily: "You kid, can't let me rest for a while?"

Erlangzi hurriedly replied: "General, there is something wrong~ General Dong is back!"

"Ah~" The school's mind shuddered and suddenly woke up. He hurriedly climbed up the city tower with his tendons. He stopped to look down at the city. He saw figures of people, and from time to time, the shouts of soldiers and the neighing of horses came.

The school tried hard to open its eyes wide and saw clearly that the people standing in front of the team were all cavalrymen, all wearing the armor of the Xiliang cavalry, and were calling out in a mess.

"Open the door quickly~~"

"General Dong is back~~"

"Grandpas are back in the city~~"

Erlangzi hurriedly said, "General, hurry up and order the door to open." The school was careful and asked loudly, "Where is General Dong? Please come out and speak!"

A scream suddenly came from the city. A burly captain stepped forward and pointed at the school with a horse whip and scolded: "You can't see clearly our Xiliang Iron Cavalry, you can't see clearly? Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"

The junior school was not willing to be outdone and replied with his neck in his arms: "No! Unless you meet General Dong, who knows if you are the enemy coming to cheat?"

"Hmph!" The Xiliang Captain snorted angrily, and several cavalrymen walked up to him surrounded by a war horse, and immediately lay down. Judging from his armor and figure, it was Dong Min, the left general of the Han Dynasty.

The Xiliang Captain shouted loudly: "General Dong is injured and needs to be in the city for treatment. If you delay time, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

The Xiyuan Military School felt as if there was a thunder in its ears, and was in fear. He looked around and asked, "Do you think that person is General Dong?"

The soldiers of the Xiyuan Army came to the front and looked at it, nodded quickly and said, "It must be General Dong. General quickly order the door to open, otherwise we will all be beaten."

"Hmph, you guys who are afraid of death!" Xiyuan Primary School cursed in a low voice, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to lower the suspension bridge and open the city gate.

"Crack~" The suspension bridge hanging high slowly fell from the air.

"Gagaga~" The heavy city gate is slowly opening.

The Xiliang cavalry under the city rushed forward and prepared to go to the suspension bridge to enter the city.

Suddenly, more than ten riders came from the back of the team, and they galloped "de" and rushed to the moat before tying the reins. The person in front shouted immediately: "Don't open the door! Don't open the door~ They are Zhou Yu's troops!"

"Oh~ Who are you?" Xiyuan Primary School asked loudly.

"I'm Zhang Ji~~Don't you recognize me anymore?" The little school heard the man's voice clearly. It was Zhang Ji.

The little school's face suddenly changed and he ordered quickly: "Quick~Quick~ Pull up the suspension bridge! Close the city gate! They are enemies!"

The soldier who was opening the city gate heard this and hurriedly stopped the wheel that controlled the city gate, tried to close the city gate, and pulled up the suspension bridge.

"Crack ~" The suspension bridge that was about to land slowly rose into the air again.

"Gagaga~" The heavy city gate slowly began to close after halfway opening.

The man pretending to be a captain of Xiliang under the city was Zang Ba, and the men behind him were the scout camp and the Feilong Army led by Zhou Tai.

Zhou Yu's clear voice came from the back of the team: "Third brother, hurry up and grab the pass!"

At the same time, a wolf-toothed arrow flew out from Zhou Yu's army, flashed in the shocked gaze of Xiyuan Primary School, and shot straight into Zhang Ji's waist. Zhang Ji's body shook a few times on the horse, insisting on not falling down. Then, under the escort of his personal soldiers around him, Zhang Ji fled in a hurry, and the group gradually disappeared into the night.

Zang Ba roared and slashed the long sword in his palm on the suspension bridge. With the help of this blow, he jumped up immediately and stood steadily on the suspension bridge.

"Okay~" Zhou Yu's army shouted loudly.

Zang Ba's agile figure was like a dragon. He pulled up his long sword and swept across thousands of troops with one move. As the sword light passed, the two thick ropes that were pulling the suspension bridge were cut off. With a bang, the suspension bridge fell rapidly from the air and hit the riverside of the moat, making a huge sound.

Before the suspension bridge could stop, many Zhou soldiers rushed forward. Zang Ba led the long sword in his hand forward and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Then he took the lead and rushed towards the city gate.

"Gagaga~" The heavy city gate was too late to close, leaving a gap of more than one person wide. Zang Ba quickly stepped forward and walked through the city gate and rushed directly to the city tower. When he cut over several city guards who were turning the wheels, the city gate opened with a bang, and countless Zhou soldiers rushed into the city like a tide...

After the Zhou army entered the city, the soldiers divided into several groups and rushed towards the south gate, west gate, north gate and barracks.

There was no chief general in the city, and the Xiyuan army's resistance was scattered and powerless. Soon, the Zhou army controlled the four gates of Xingyang City.

Many soldiers in Xiyuan became prisoners of the Zhou army in their sleep.

On the third night of the fourth month of the first year of Chuping, Zhou Yu pretended to be a cavalry in Xiliang. He wanted to open the city gate but failed. He forced himself to seize the gate and entered. He successfully attacked Xingyang City at night and won a great victory.

The plan originally formulated by Zhou Yu and Chen Gong was to lure the enemy in the front, and then ambush Dong Min's troops in Niukou Gorge. When they met Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun's defeated troops, according to the changes in the situation, it was judged that it was feasible to ambush Dong Min's cavalry directly in the Hei Song Forest, so they changed the combat plan and used Cao's army as bait to mobilize Dong Min's troops to give their troops time to ambush. Then they used Zhou Tai's Feilong Army to kill and kill the enemy with crossbow arrows and flying knives in the Hei Song Forest, and used Gao Shun's trap camp to attack with fire at the exit of the Hei Song Forest, and then gathered forces to eliminate the remaining enemies. They led their troops to intercept and kill the enemy who had lost the net in Baiyun Village. Then they collected the Xiliang war horses, ordered the scout camp and Feilong Army to pretend to be Xiliang cavalry in front to cheat the city, and then seize the city, which was successful in one fell swoop.

Luoyang, Prime Minister's Office.

"Report~" A personal soldier hurriedly stepped into the conference hall. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were discussing things. He heard this and asked, "Why should I report it?"

The personal soldier reported: "Hulaoguan urgently reported! After Zhongmu was captured by the Guandong Alliance, the important town of Xingyang was also captured by the Guandong Alliance!"

"Ah~" Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "How is the loss of our army?"

"Five thousand Xiliang cavalry were basically annihilated, and more than nine thousand Xiyuan army were captured."

"Where is General Dong Min? Where is he now?" Dong Zhuo was worried about his younger brother.

"General Dong Min was captured, General Zhang Ji was injured in many places, and now he is treated by Hulaoguan."
