Facing the throbbing yellow turban thief, the thousands of cavalry in Luoyang did not rush forward, they just watched from afar, waiting for the army to reveal some flaws, they were ready to rush on to take a bite, but unfortunately However, the leaders of the two thief armies are not frivolous. Facing the various challenges of the Luoyang cavalry, they are still not easily deceived. Of course, there are no large-scale cavalry in the entire Yellow Turban army, only a thousand cavalry in Zhang Yan's hands. , In the face of thousands of cavalry army, also restricted their thoughts of sending troops. , At almost the same time, the Jingzhou Yellow Turban to the south also marched towards Luoyang City. However, after the Jingzhou Yellow Turban crossed Luoshui, they set up the camp to the west of Luoyang.

As a result, by the afternoon of the 9th, the Yellow Turban Army had formed an encirclement to Luoyang City. The east, west, and north were blocked by the Yellow Turban Army, while the south was tens of meters wide in Luoshui. As for the last harvest of Huangfu Chaobo Ten boats had been arranged to hide in a place east of Gongxian a few days ago. Now that Luoyang has been surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, the battle of Luoyang has begun.

As soon as the Yellow Turban Army was dispatched, the personnel from the ten surrounding towns immediately retreated to Luoyang City. Although there was still a day or two to grow grain, Huangfu Chaobo forced all personnel to withdraw to Luoyang for safety reasons. The atmosphere in Luoyang suddenly became tense. It is impossible to say that it is not tense. After all, that is a whole 200,000 army, even if the Yellow Turban army left 5,000 soldiers and horses in each of the two counties, plus two large camps. Ten to twenty thousand soldiers and horses need to be left to guard. In this way, the west gate and north gate of the siege will be about 40,000 each, while the black mountain army at the east gate has reached about 70,000 troops.

After the Yellow Turbans on three sides of the city set up their camp, they did not immediately attack the city. Instead, they arranged around 20,000 soldiers to guard the three city gates. The other soldiers were sent to prepare the equipment for the next day’s siege. Up.

In Luoyang city, Huang Zhong and others stood on the northwest corner of the city wall outside Luoyang, looking at the yellow ocean outside the city, combined with the news from the shadows, several quickly figured out the focus of the Yellow Turban army's siege. The East Gate was the focus of the Yellow Turban Army’s offensive, followed by the Baibo Army in the North Gate. As for the 50,000 Jingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the West Gate, if it weren’t for the Yellow Turban Army’s main force in several other directions, Huangfu Chaobo was all ordering the cavalry to tackle the western side first. Thieves.

For the South Gate direction, because the Yellow Turban Army did not have a navy army this time, and there was only a few miles outside the South Gate, it was not enough for the large army to deploy, so the Yellow Turban Army did not deploy a siege force here. Now that the Yellow Turban Army's offensive priority is known, the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City can be arranged. Two thousand crossbowmen are allocated to the east and north walls. The guards in Dianwei's hand transferred 1,500 people to Zaoyi, who was responsible for the coordination of the walls on the west and south. Although there is no Yellow Turban pirates outside the South Gate, everyone in the city is not careless. Who knows if the Yellow Turbans have soldiers hiding there?

There was no word for a night, and early the next morning, a long horn sounded at the Yellow Turban Army camp outside Luoyang.

"Woo..."

"Woo..."

"Woo..."

The movement of the Yellow Turban Camp alarmed the generals who were on duty at the top of the city. They immediately sent people up to the tower to ring the bell. At the same time, they ordered the soldiers who were already on standby down the city wall to enter the predetermined position. Soon the top of the city wall became quiet. When the excitement started, teams of soldiers walked up to the top of the city, and items guarding the city moved up from under the wall. At the same time, there were thousands of players on the city together. After Huangfu Chaobo communicated with Zhao Zilong, Zilonghui quickly gathered more than 8,000 players to participate in the defense of the city, plus the more than 1,000 players from the Luoshenhui, totaling more than 10,000 Players participate in the city defense. These players are divided into four parts by Huang Zhong and assigned to the four walls. Of course, the players are not the main force of the city defense. But at the same time, the yellow turban barracks in Beicheng and Xicheng also heard horns. For a time, the whole Luoyang city became lively inside and outside.

When Huangfu Chaobo and the others, who had received the news, rushed to the east city wall, the Yellow Turbans had all left the camp and were advancing near the city wall. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo and a few on the city wall, the generals on duty hurriedly stepped forward to salute, saying: "Master, General Huang, Lord Lou!"

"Hmm! Are the Yellow Turban thief ready to attack?" Huangfu Chaobo said;

"Lord, please see, the Yellow Turban thief should be ready to attack. There are 30,000 soldiers and horses dispatched in the East City this time, and there should be tens of thousands of people continuing to make siege equipment." The general on duty brought several people to the edge of the city wall. Point to the yellow turban army phalanx in the distance below the city;

Looking up, Huangfu Chaobo saw a yellow ocean in the distance, which was different from the last time the thief army attacked the city. It was obvious that the yellow turban soldiers were far more sophisticated than the thief army. Thirty thousand soldiers were divided into three times ten of thirty thousand-man phalanx. The first two rows were light soldiers. In the third row, each thousand-man squad guarded some equipment. The last row was ten squares. The soldiers are obviously better equipped than the soldiers in the first two square formations.

"Brother, sir, it seems that the Yellow Turban thief is really ready today." At this point, Huangfu Chaobo turned to Sun Ping next to him and said: "Has the news on the other walls come? what's the situation?"

"Back to the general, there is no news from the other walls for the time being!" Sun Ping said;

"Lord, don’t worry," Huang Zhong said: "It’s not so fast. It will take a day or two for the Yellow Turban to fill the moat, unless Zhang Yan will fill the moat at all costs. It’s just good for this. The loss will cost 10,000 to 20,000, but I don’t know if he can accept it."

It took nearly an hour for the Yellow Turban army to advance the army to a distance of less than two miles from the Luoyang city wall. After a short break, the drums of the Yellow Turban attack sounded, and the soldiers from the first row came out of thousands of troops. None of these soldiers carried weapons. They were only holding a shield in their right hand, and the other supporting their back. A cloth bag on his back. These are light soldiers who fill the moat. Their main role is to fill in several channels for the moat of Luoyang City to provide siege roads for the siege troops and siege equipment behind.

The archers on the walls of the city have already shot their feet, but as far as the crossbowmen are concerned, after the last siege of the thief, Huangfu Chaobo has concluded it, but it is a bit tangled. As long as there are obstacles or If heavy infantry blocks, it can almost be said to be a very powerful firepower output, but for siege and defense, it is more entangled. The shooting distance for large elevation angles cannot be too far, otherwise there is basically no place to fall. For down-shooting, the crossbow bolt will slide directly from the crossbow machine when the angle is large. Of course, when the large crossbow machine is used, it is shot at a small elevation angle, because the huge crossbow arrow can have such a huge lethality.
