"We just received intelligence that Dong Zhuo has moved the capital!" Fa Zheng explained calmly.
"What? Relocating the capital! Dong Zhuo actually chose to relocate the capital at this time! Isn't he worried that we will hunt them down after we capture Luoyang?" Xi Zhicai exclaimed in surprise.
Moving the capital is a major event, and with such a tight schedule, so many troops, and so many court officials, the journey must not be quick.
"So, you suspect that Luoyang is a trap?" Fa Zheng said.
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "That's right, Dong Zhuo must have a conspiracy. His move of the capital this time is probably just to mislead our army."
"But if it's really as you suspect, that the relocation of the capital is a ruse to lure the enemy deep into our territory, then how will they resist my million-strong army?"
Yes, Dong Zhuo's army only numbered a little over 200,000, which was just a fraction of the Yellow Turban army. Even if there were traps, how could they possibly ambush them?
Xi Zhicai and Fa Zheng were both deep in thought; they simply couldn't understand what Dong Zhuo was up to.
Meanwhile, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban army had already begun its assault on the city.
Dian Wei took the lead and charged forward with 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers.
The Han army on the city wall fought desperately, refusing to retreat. Even when Dian Wei was about to climb the city wall, he was forced to retreat!
This resulted in significant casualties for the Yellow Turban army attacking the city.
"Master, it seems that Lu Zhi, the general guarding Luoyang, is indeed loyal and courageous, and is determined to defend Luoyang to the death. Our army has been unable to capture Luoyang for so long!" Zhang Yan said through gritted teeth.
Leif could also see that Lu Zhi was determined to die and would not retreat even a step, so his soldiers suffered heavy losses.
"snort!"
Leif snorted coldly and said, "Send Gao Shun's elite troops into battle! We must break through their defenses!"
"By the way, where's Lü Bu? Let him come along!"
Since Lu Bu broke through to the Lesser Grandmaster level, he has rarely made a move.
When he heard the news of Lu Li's death, he became even more determined to leave the Yellow Turban Army.
After all, he is extremely arrogant now. At the level of a minor grandmaster, who in the world can be his opponent?
When Lu Li was alive, he could suppress him, but now that Lu Li is dead, what is he afraid of?
"Master! I'm afraid Lu Bu... can no longer be commanded!" Zhang Yan said bitterly.
Leif's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yan whispered, "Lü Bu already has rebellious intentions!"
"You bastard!"
Leif cursed angrily.
He knew what kind of person Lü Bu was. If it weren't for his master Lu Li, Lü Bu would never have surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army.
Now that Lu Li is dead, Lü Bu has developed treacherous intentions. Such a traitor deserves to be torn to pieces.
Leif immediately said, "In that case, let's stabilize Lü Bu first! Let Gao Shun lead the Vanguard Camp!"
"yes!"
Zhang Yan nodded and immediately ordered the Trapped Camp to attack.
The Trapped Camp was the most elite unit in the Yellow Turban Army, with extremely powerful equipment and superb martial arts skills.
The 700 elite troops could fight with the momentum of 70,000 men!
Zhang Yan believed that if the Trapped Camp were to be deployed, they would definitely be able to break through the defenses of Luoyang.
Upon receiving the order, Gao Shun immediately led the Trapped Camp to charge forward.
"The Vanguard Battalion has been mobilized!"
Lu Zhi's expression immediately became more serious.
Although he was a civil official before, it doesn't mean he didn't have martial arts skills. In fact, he was an eighth-level martial artist.
He knew all too well how terrifying the Trapped Camp was; even seven hundred Trapped Camp soldiers were far superior to the other Yellow Turban rebels.
This is a truly heavily armed army, with excellent teamwork, capable of unleashing unimaginable power.
"The will to charge into battle!" Gao Shun shouted.
Immediately, the seven hundred soldiers of the Trapped Battalion shouted in unison, "We will die or live!"
The sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, even shocking the Yellow Turban army in the distance.
Lu Zhi's pupils constricted sharply, his resolve to charge into battle clear: death was the only option. What a terrifying army!
"Release the arrows!"
Lu Zhi issued the order without hesitation.
In an instant, thousands of crossbow bolts flew out and shot towards the Trapped Camp.
"Raise your shields!" Gao Shun shouted.
Immediately, the shields of the Trapped Camp were raised.
Bang bang bang!
The dense rain of arrows fell on the shields, but it did not affect the Trapped Camp in the slightest!
"go ahead!"
Gao Shun led his elite troops, shields raised, to withstand the rain of arrows as they charged toward the gates of Luoyang!
"Boom!"
The city gates shook violently, and the entire city of Luoyang seemed to tremble!
"Quickly! Block the city gates!"
Lu Zhi hurriedly gave the order.
Immediately, soldiers everywhere in Luoyang blocked the city gates with wooden stakes, stones, or other objects!
Just then, a horse slowly emerged from behind the Trapped Camp.
It was Lü Bu sitting on the horse.
Lu Bu's expression was calm, but his gaze was icy.
"Consider this my last act for the Yellow Turban Army, as a way of repaying Lu Li's kindness," Lu Bu murmured.
He rode his horse to the city gate, gathered his inner strength, and swung his halberd at the gate, creating a powerful gust of wind with a violent force.
"boom!"
A loud bang rang out, and wood chips flew everywhere from the city gate, which showed signs of collapsing.
Immediately afterwards, Lü Bu swung his halberd a second time, smashing through the thick iron sheet on the city gate.
When he swung his halberd for the third time, the massive city gate collapsed with a deafening roar, sending dust billowing up and blotting out the sun.
The people inside Luoyang were stunned. What kind of powerful force was this that could destroy the city gates of Luoyang in an instant!
"Lu Bu!"
When Lu Zhi saw Lü Bu outside the city, his eyes turned bloodshot! He never imagined that Lü Bu was so powerful! He had smashed the city gate to pieces!
