When Sima Yi thought of how to explain to Cao Cao, he felt extremely embarrassed.

This was not only a crushing defeat, but also a loss of two counties and tens of thousands of soldiers, but more importantly, Xu Chu's death.

It must be said that Xu Chu was not only the most powerful general of the Wei army, but also Cao Cao's favorite general at the moment. Cao Cao regards Xu Chu as his brother and sister. Xu Chu's death is equivalent to cutting off one of Cao Cao's arms. If he cannot find a reasonable explanation, Sima Yi will not guarantee that his life can be saved.

According to Sima Yi's order, a Wei army soldier dismantled the entire set of equipment of the Qin cavalry, including all the assembly of the war horses on the body of the Qin cavalry.

In fact, after the repeated battles in the past few days, Sima Yi has discovered the strangeness of stirrups made on the backs of the Qin cavalry.

Speaking of which, this Wei soldier was also careful enough to not only remove the stirrups of the Qin cavalry war horses, but also find that the four hooves of the Qin cavalry war horses were also strange, and the horse's hooves were also removed, plus the full set of equipment on the Qin cavalry who died in battle.

Sima Yi checked carefully.

The complete set of equipment on the Qin cavalry was just so good that they could not see anything, but the iron stirrups and horseshoes aroused Sima Yi's curiosity.

Sima Yi asked someone to take the horse's hooves to the four hooves of Wei Jun's own war horses and nail them, and at the same time replaced the iron stirrups.

After the preparation, Sima Yi personally got on the horse and rode it.

After a trial ride, Sima Yi took a breath.

"So this is the fundamental reason why Zhao Yun and Qin cavalry suddenly exploded far beyond the expected combat power," Sima Yi obviously had discovered the secret.

Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "It's really a mistake, every step is wrong." The Qin army hid such a secret, so that he misjudged Zhao Yun's combat power and the Qin army's combat power, resulting in Xu Chu's death in battle and the camp defense was also leaking step by step.

"With such a mistake, how can Sun Wu be invincible?" Sima Yi said nothing.

Suddenly, Sima Yi came to something again, and his face was shocked.

He said in surprise: "I misjudged the combat power of the Qin generals such as Zhao Yun and the Qin cavalry, and then the Western Luoyang will also misjudged the combat power of the Qin generals and the Western Qin cavalry. I am wrong in this place, and I will be incorrect in this way, and the Western Luoyang line will definitely not escape this mistake!"

Sima Yi subconsciously wanted to send someone to the Luoyang front line to inform him of this, but he immediately realized that the Qin army had planned it, and so many days have passed, and now he told me that it is probably too late, and the Luoyang front line must have been defeated.

Sima Yi's face changed and he couldn't help but think that if the Luoyang line on the western front was defeated, and even one or two generals were lost, then the defeat on Qingzhou on the eastern front was no wonder that he had even lost two counties in this defeat, and it would be considered a contribution to the preservation of most of Qingzhou...

After thinking for a while, Sima Yi sent a messenger to Xudu and Luoyang.

...

Just as Sima Yi thought.

In the Battle of Qingzhou on the Eastern Front, Sima Yi was even more wrong and suffered a crushing defeat.

On the Western Front and Luoyang, Cao Hong was the leader, and the military advisors were only Yang Xiu, Jiang Ji, and Chen Qun, who were far inferior to Sima Yi, of course, they also made mistakes in one step, and suffered a crushing defeat and serious losses.

After the 140,000 Qin troops left Tongguan east, they captured Hongnong County in just three days and rushed straight to Luoyang.

Cao Hong led 120,000 Wei troops, with Xiahou Dun, Zhang He and Le Jin as generals, Yang Xiu, Jiang Ji and Chen Qun as counselors, and set up camp twenty miles in front of Luoyang City to fight against the Qin army.

On the day when Zhao Yun defeated Sima Yi on the Qingzhou front, he launched a war.

In the first battle, Pondler immediately stepped forward to fight.

"Nan'an Pang De is here, the Wei army and rats, who dare to come out to fight me!"

In the camp of Wei, seeing that the Qin army did not send Ma Chao out of the battle in the first battle, but only sent Pang De. All the Wei generals knew Pang De's strength roughly, so they naturally could not dare to fight. They not only wanted to fight, but also wanted to win the first battle.

So, the Wei army commander Cao Hong invited Xiahou Dun to fight.

"Hmph, I'll go and get back at Pang De's head!" One-eyed Xiahou Dun didn't take Pang De seriously. He came out and fought fiercely with Pang De.

The two quickly fought for fifty rounds.

Pang De rode his horse to the south and fled. Seeing that Pang De was not defeated and returned to the Qin army, Xiahou Dun chased him without hesitation and fought with Pang De all the way, which seemed to be about to fight to the end and completely decide the outcome.

Even so, the Wei army camp, Cao Hong and others were not worried at all.

Cao Hong smiled and said, "Although Pang De is brave, General Xiahou is obviously slightly stronger than Pang De. Let's see that General Xiahou and others will take Pang De's head and return."

The generals of Wei nodded one after another, feeling relaxed.

Qin army camp.

Seeing that Pang De had lured Xiahou Dun to fight far away, Guan Yu nodded to Gao Shun.

Then he came out on the horse.

Cao Hong ordered Le to go in and out to fight Gao Shun.

After the two fought for thirty rounds, Gao Shun also led Le to the north to continue the battle.

All four generals left. In addition to Guan Yu as the head coach, the Qin army was left with only Ma Chao, and only Zhang He, the Wei army was left with only Zhang He.

Ma Chao did not hesitate and came out of the formation to continue the challenge.

"Ma Chao of Xiliang is here, Wei army rats, dare anyone fight with me?"

Zhang He wanted to go out to fight, but was stopped by Cao Hong. Cao Hong said: "Ma Chao is invincible, and General Xu Chu is not a match for Ma Chao. If the general goes to fight, he may not have a chance of winning. It is better to wait for General Xiahou and General Le Jin to decide the outcome first."

Zhang He nodded, and then he resisted not going to fight.

Ma Chao waited for a long time but did not see Zhang He going to fight. He couldn't help but frown. His plan before the war was to lure all three generals of the Wei army into battle, and then suddenly started to attack at the same time, at least two of them were killed, but Zhang He did not fight.

Ma Chao angrily scolded the Wei army for being rats, hoping to incite Cao Hong to send the remaining Zhang He to fight.

Although Cao Hong was angry and Zhang He also asked for a fight, Cao Hong was still worried that something might happen to Zhang He would be too strong. He endured that he did not let Zhang He go to fight, and insisted on waiting for Xiahou Dun and Le Jin to decide the outcome first.

Cao Hong also had the idea that Xiahou Dun's martial arts were obviously half stronger than Pang De, and Le Jin's martial arts were not inferior to Gao Shun at all. Both of them had a greater chance of winning than the Qin army. As long as one of them was won, it would also increase the morale of their Wei army. To attack the morale of the Qin army, there was no need to know that Zhang He was defeated by Ma Chao, and let Zhang He fight and win the Qin army for nothing.

Cao Hong suppressed Zhang He to fight, and Ma Chao had no choice but to continue yelling and scolding.

In the south direction, Pang De and Xiahou Dun have fought for a hundred rounds.

Pang De's performance was suppressed by Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun laughed wildly, without doubting him: "Pang Lingming, today I will want you to be buried under my gun."

After 150 rounds of battle, Pang De pretended to be defeated and walked away with a knife!

Xiahou Dun laughed and chased after him, thinking that Pang De had already begun to exhaust himself, but unexpectedly Pang De used a trick to drag his sword. When Xiahou Dun approached, Pang De suddenly burst out with all his strength and cut it from bottom to top.

Xiahou Dun's hair stood upside down, and he stood up to barely avoid it.

However, as soon as he dodged, Pang De returned to his horse and took the lead.

At the same time, Pang De's increased combat power with the nailed horseshoe and the iron stirrup were completely exploded. Pang De's combat power was 30% stronger than before. Originally, Xiahou Dun was half stronger than Pang De, but Pang De's cavalry strength increased sharply, but instead he was half stronger than Xiahou Dun.

Moreover, iron stirrups can make people more balanced and stable on the horse's back. In fact, in the previous 150 rounds, Pang De consumed much less effort than Xiahou Dun.

Pang De's combat power suddenly increased, and he seized the initiative again. The previous power consumption was less than Xiahou Dun. Adding several times, Pang De instantly suppressed Xiahou Dun at a disadvantage.

Xiahou Dun was shocked, unbelievable, and even caught off guard.

Pang De attacked hard with one force, attacking for more than ten rounds, and finally hit Xiahou Dun's lower abdomen with one knife.

Xiahou Dun screamed...

Pang De slashed another backhand from Xiahou Dun to his chest, and killed Xiahou Dun under his horse.
