Liu Cheng raised his fists toward the palace and said solemnly: "I was ordered to kill the thieves.
Now that the thieves have fled to Xicheng District, I will lead my troops to Xicheng District to exterminate these traitors and traitors.
Zhong Ji listens to the order."
"I'm in a humble position" Zhongji responded with fists clasped.
"Detach three thousand people from your department to Wang Shuang, and Wang Shuang will lead the team to quickly capture and kill the Jinwu Hu Wuban.
This person has a secret relationship with Dong Zhuo and has long been alienated from the imperial court.
It would not be a pity for Wang Shuang to die.
Afterwards, I will I would like to express my condolences to His Majesty, and I will not hold you responsible.
By the way, I will seize the Tiqi and Halberdbearers under Zhijin Wu.
Weapons, arrest all these people and wait for the general to punish them.
If there are any resisters, they will be killed without mercy.
After gathering the cavalry and halberd bearers under Jin Wu, you will lead the team to maintain order in the streets and alleys of the cities behind our army.
If Anyone found guilty of evil will be arrested and imprisoned, and anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
"Yes."
Zhong Ji agreed and gave Wang Shuang the Tiger Talisman for Trooping the Troops.
Wang Shuang accepted it and clasped his fists in agreement, then quickly led the team away.
Liu Cheng turned to Zhao Chun who was standing aside and said: "Eunuch Zhao, please hurry back to the palace to report the current situation to His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Now Dong Zhuo has integrated the Xiyuan Army, plus the Xiliang Army and City Guards in his hands."
The army has more than 10,000 troops more than ours, but its combat strength is not as good as ours. army, but the strength of both sides should be comparable, and now that Dong Zhuo has occupied the Xicheng District and built fortifications to defend our army, it will not be easy for our army to defeat Dong Zhuo.
Please tell your Majesty and the Queen Mother that your Majesty's new decree has not been transmitted.
Before coming, I will lead my army to attack with all my strength."
"Hey, this is a big battle, but the people in the city are suffering again."
Zhao Chun sighed, clasped his fists at Liu Cheng and said, "General, please take care, we will rush back to the palace to report to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and say goodbye."
After sending Zhao Chun away, Liu Cheng said to Xu Rong, Wu Fu, and Zhong Ji: "Everyone, lead your army and this general to Xicheng District.
I'm afraid a fierce battle will be inevitable tonight.
You still need to be mentally prepared for the imperial court to raise troops."
Thousands of days and a short period of military use.
Are our soldiers fighting for the country just for high-ranking officials and generous salaries?
Is it just glory and wealth?
When is the time when a soldier can best display his talent and value?
It is at this time that the traitors are not eliminated and the country is restless.
We should fight bravely to kill the enemy without fear of life and death.
Later, if there is any If you are afraid of the enemy, retreat or run away, I will only ask you and the three of you."
The three people looked stern, and they all clasped their fists and said: "The low-ranking officers will personally supervise the battle.
If there are those who are afraid of the enemy, retreat, or run away, the low-ranking officers will kill them to boost the morale of the army."
"Okay, let's go."
Liu Cheng waved his hand forward, and the horse galloped forward.
The army marched slowly, and its speed quickly increased.
After a while, the sound of neat and slow footsteps turned into the sound of running, and the horseshoes of the war horses made a crisp sound on the street.
There are two markets in Luoyang City, one each in the east and west outer cities.
The one in the east outer city is the small market, and the one in the west outer city is the big market.
The east and west outer cities protect the imperial city in the middle.
As soon as the army passed through the big city, the road ahead became impassable.
The intersection was already guarded by Dong Zhuo's men.
Carriages and carts were lying across the street, blocking the entire street, while Dong Zhuo's men were hiding behind. , some archers lurked behind and drew their bows.

Liu Cheng ordered Wu Fu and Zhong Ji: "Wu Fu led 5,000 men to attack the streets in the north, leaving 3,000 soldiers and horses behind.
Zhong Ji led 3,000 men to attack the streets in the south.
Wait until everything is ready.
As soon as the attack order from this general arrives, we will launch the attack immediately."
"Nuo" After Wu Fu and Zhong Ji agreed with fists in their hands, they immediately turned around and led their troops away.
After Zhong Ji and Wu Fu led their troops away, Liu Cheng was left with only 6,000 infantry and Xu Rong's 3,000 cavalry.
However, compared to the Xiyuan Army, which had not experienced a major war, the Northern Army soldiers like him had no doubts in terms of combat effectiveness.
Be stronger.
Liu Cheng looked at the densely packed Xiliang Army and Xiyuan Army behind the obstacles in front.
He suddenly remembered that the Xiliang Army brought by Dong Zhuo this time were all cavalry.
If during the battle, Dong Zhuo suddenly counterattacked with Xiliang Iron Cavalry, what would he do?
To deal with this narrow On the long street, if there are no obstacles, if the Xiliang cavalry lines up in a dense formation to charge, it will be like tanks on the street.
The Northern troops under his command will not be able to block or hide.
Isn't it necessary?
Being beaten to death and trampled to death After thinking for a while, Liu Cheng came up with a way.
This was a fool's errand.
If a few tripping ropes were tied on the street, the Xiliang cavalry would not be able to play its role.
He immediately summoned two soldiers and ordered: "Hurry up.
Go tell Wu Fu and Zhong Ji and tell them that in order to prevent Dong Zhuo from launching a counterattack with the Xiliang cavalry, can you understand this in advance?"
"I understand, little one."
"Okay, go quickly" Liu Cheng also asked his soldiers to find some hemp ropes and lay them horizontally on the street for the time being.
Once they were needed, he could immediately ask someone to tie the two ends of the ropes to the windows of the houses on both sides or the pillars.
Xu Rong came over on horseback and clasped his fists and asked: "General, I have sent people to guard and monitor all nearby streets and alleys as well as the passages where the Xiliang army may outflank our army.
If any enemy army wants to outflank our army, we will The army can find the general at any time and prepare how to attack without worrying about the retreat."
This Xu Rong is indeed a rare general.
No wonder Cao Cao was beaten by Xu Rong in previous lives and lost his armor.
Liu Cheng asked, "What do you think?"
"In order to reduce casualties, the general thought that we should use rocket fire to burn down the obstacles blocking the road first.
Without the obstacles, Dong Zhuo's Xiyuan Army and Xiliang Army can only engage in close combat with us.
Only in this way can our army exert its combat power. and advantages” Xu Rong's method is indeed a good one.
Liu Cheng looked at the houses on both sides.
It was a little windy tonight.
He used rockets to shoot and burn the wooden obstacles.
Naturally, he could burn them down, but it was also very likely to cause a fire and destroy them.
If the houses on both sides of the street are set on fire, it will not only be a few houses that will be burned.
It is very likely that several nearby streets will not be spared, and there are residents living in these houses.
What will happen to the residents hiding in the houses?
Not to be burned alive "Xu Rong, your method is very good, but have you considered the people living in the houses on both sides of the street?
If a fire breaks out, the people in the nearby streets will suffer," Liu Cheng asked.
Xu Rong clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "General, you must not be kind to women when marching and fighting.
Perhaps the advisers around Dong Zhuo have already guessed the general's temperament, and they want to keep the general's hands tied at the cost of the lives of the people in Xicheng District."
Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "What you mean, I understand very well.
Today we are fighting to kill the traitor Dong Zhuo.
We burned a large number of people to death before the battle started.
How do you want the people of the world to treat the emperor and me?"

Now that we hold the title of righteousness, it is because there are still big men in the hearts of the people in the world.
If we do something unkind, the court will gradually lose the support of the people.
Since ancient times, those who win the support of the people win the world."
Xu Rong felt a little ashamed after hearing this.
He clasped his fists and bowed his head, saying: "The general has a broad mind and unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.
I am ashamed of you."
Liu Cheng waved his hand: "Although you have sent people to stand guard at various street entrances and alleys to prevent the enemy from outflanking our army's retreat, you have not sent people to check the houses in the surrounding streets and alleys.
We must before attacking To ensure that there are no enemies hiding in the houses on the left and right sides, first send people to clear all nearby houses.
Check the house and clean it up.
Knock on the door before checking each house.
Do not break in or harass the people.
If there are those who rob property, commit murder and arson, or rape women, they must kill without mercy and do the interrogation quickly.
We are not too We have a lot of time, we must defeat Dong Zhuo's army before dawn and drive them out of Luoyang City."
"Yes," Xu Rong agreed, clasping his fists and immediately going to arrange the search
