Chapter 171: The Battle of Chang'an II
At the city of Chang'an, when Ma Teng's army was most proud of its attack on Chang'an, Wei Yan led the two battalions of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Xiu to use a thunderous attack on Ma Teng's camp, defeating Ma Teng's army in one fell swoop, causing its stars to disappear, and captured Ma Teng's army in the chaos, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Pang De and others, and took advantage of the situation to attack and occupy the south gate of Chang'an City.
In this battle, nearly 30,000 infantry and cavalry of Ma Teng's army were defeated, more than 10,000 prisoners were annihilated, and more than 100,000 people were rescued, and the danger in Chang'an was solved. However, countless scattered soldiers in Ma Teng's army collapsed and spread throughout the Guanzhong Plain, leaving many sequelae. At this time, the commander of Chang'an South Gate, Yang Fu, saw that the situation was no longer resolved, and had to lead Jiang Xu, Jiang Jie, Zhao Ang and others to surrender.
Afterwards, Wei Yan brought his army and more than 100,000 people into Chang'an.
...
In Zhong Yao's governor's office, dozens of people confronted each other, with a tense momentum.
"Yang Yishan! Fortunately, we entrusted you with the important task of life and death, but you surrendered to Li Zhe. Now you still have the face to make money, so you are not ashamed!" Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou and Yang Fu's benefactor, pointed at Yang Fu who came to persuade him to surrender and cursed.
Yang Fu blushed and made a series of things to the end.
"I have been intimate with you and I have been intimate with others for a long time. What can I do if I have an affair with outsiders? This is the general trend, and I have to do it. In today's world, wars are in trouble and the people are in trouble. The world hopes for a wise ruler as if we are looking forward to a wise ruler, so why not? All of us here are people who can maintain a stable country. What can we do if we don't ask for a wise ruler for us?"
"Master!Master! Then Li Zhe is just a Taoist thief. What's the difference between Zhang Jiao back then? How can such a thief surrender?"
"Hey!" Zhang blocked Wei Duan, "The governor is too much. How could Li Xiande say he is a Taoist thief if he can write such a great work as the Sun, Moon and Stars? It's just that what he learned is inconsistent with the way of the saints like us!"
Wei Duan heard that he was both facing Zhang with a straight eyebrows.
Yang Fu went up to the forefront and said, "It's still fair what Derong said! What you just said is a bad thing! The Heavenly Master is a god who came to the world and educated the world! Although it is inconsistent with what the Master said, it is also the first-class person. Why do you have to add words? Besides, if the Heavenly Master Army had not rescued each other today, Chang'an had already been captured by Ma Teng's army and the creatures were tragically damaged. How could we discuss it here?"
After hearing Yang Fu's words, everyone in the hall was dissatisfied with their faces, but they had to accept them in their hearts.
Wei Duan looked at Yang Fu's sharp teeth and said speechlessly, making everyone around him speechless, and smoked in his seven orifices: "You! You! You! I'm so angry! Extremely shameless. Yang Yishan! Since you surrendered to Li Zhe, you will never tolerate my life and death. Today, I, Wei Duan, will never meet you from now on, and will never meet you again!"
"Don't be anxious!" Unexpectedly, Wei Duan was so stern, but Yang Fu disagreed and still said slowly: "There are two people coming from Li Zhe's army. After the envoy sees them, it's not too late to say this!" After that, Yang Fu gave up his body and greeted him. Not long after, the two people rushed over in sweat and entered the hall. When everyone in the hall was shocked when they saw it!
It was Wei Duan’s two sons, Wei Yan and Wei Kang brothers! What was surprising was that they were not dressed as scholars, but were both dressed in the strange Li Zhe army. Both of them had become members of Li Zhe army!
Wei Duan immediately glared at him, pointed at the two of them, and coughed and coughed. Before everyone could react, they twitched all over and fell to the ground with a bang!
"Father!" "Encourt!"
A group of people rushed up to treat them.
That night, everyone in the Governor's Mansion didn't know what to do. In short, in the early morning of the next day, Wei Duan suddenly announced that he had retired from illness and did not care about the world. The two brothers Wei and Kang got his job, and Zhong Yao, Zhang Ji, Du Ji and others announced that they supported Li Zhe to take over Chang'an.
Two days later, Han Sui's 50,000 coalition forces of the Western Liang tribe and the 100,000 strong men brought from him arrived outside the northern gate of Chang'an, and opened a camp of more than ten miles.
...
At this time, Han Sui had already received the news that Ma Teng's army was destroyed. After Ma Teng's army was defeated that day, the defeated army had nowhere to go, almost spreading the entire Guanzhong Plain. Many of them fell to the north and were taken in by Han Sui. Han Sui therefore knew about the unlucky incident that Ma Teng's army had happened under Chang'an City.
However, even so, he only knew the news of the armored cavalry and the scale of the entire elite cavalry. He knew it was from Li Zhejun who entered Guanzhong. He did not have a very accurate judgment on how it happened. However, since it was a sneak attack by Ma Teng's army, it meant that it did not have overwhelming strength. A cavalry full of heavy armor was extremely bulky and might not be able to deal with it. Han Sui has always claimed to be resourceful, but not Ma Teng's brave man.
Now that Chang'an is so close, how can he retreat?
This Chang'an, which the people of Xiliang have been thinking about for a long time, is within reach of the legend of Xiliang people. This is the best opportunity for Han Sui to dominate Guanzhong in the future and even rely on it to plan the world. Even if he is in front of him, he will not give up.
Li Zhe! You actually grabbed your hand so far, so come on! Xiliang man, but I won’t be afraid of you!
Han Sui's army was already blinded by the beautiful women from Chang'an. The morale of the army was at its peak. Even if Li Zhe came in person, why would he be afraid?
Under Han Sui's rule, the coalition forces of the Qiang and Han gang that had ravaged Western Liang for decades and the main force of Li Zhe's upcoming Western Expedition Army were inevitable.
The curtain slowly opened...
...
On November 20, the day after Han Sui arrived in Chang'an, the coalition forces tried to attack the city, still driving the people to fill the city, still climbing on the old ladder, and tens of thousands of ants attached to the city! Although the tactics were backward, it was not easy to defend the city defense of Chang'an City. Fortunately, the addition of the six thousand elite soldiers under Wei Yan greatly increased the strength of the city defense in Chang'an City, and it was still able to tug the war. At the most dangerous time, Zhang Xiu's breastplate cavalry opened the city and rushed out. Although it lost hundreds of knights, it directly caused Han Sui's army to lose the best opportunity to break the city, wasting Han Sui's day's efforts. Han Sui was furious!
On November 19th, Cao Hong's infantry battalion separated from Li Zhe's army, passed through the Jing River, entered Beidi County, and detoured behind Han Sui's army.
On November 22, Zhang Xiu's breastplate cavalry left the city from the south gate of Chang'an, headed westward, and entered Xianyang, blocking the path to the west of the Guanzhong Plain.
Countless Kirin Guard teams, detective cavalry, scattered a dense detection network, monitoring the entire Guanzhong Plain. During this period, countless detectives intercepted and raided.
On November 25, Li Zhe's army arrived and the Ming King arrived in Guanzhong.
Han Sui was in charge of Chang'an City, constantly filling the gap in Chang'an City with the people. Seeing the resistance of Chang'an City falling day by day, and every day approaching a complete victory, his heart became more and more joyful.
On the other hand, after receiving messages from the surrounding detective cavalry every day, he monitored the chaos in Guanzhong around him. However, his own detective cavalry was decreasing every day, and he had to constantly increase the intensity of searches every day. Invisibly, he suddenly felt a sense of danger that was indescribable on his back.
...
"Report!" An elite detective cavalry knelt in front of Han Sui, covered in blood all over his body. He had not known how many desperate battles he had experienced before he successfully escaped. In the tent, countless kings and coaches were all watching with serious faces, listening attentively to the news coming from the detective cavalry.
"Dear Kings! To the east! There is an army coming from the east, extremely elite! We went to detect, but we had just stepped down the slope and before we could get closer, we encountered enemy scouts intercepted them. The scouts were all well-armed and held a crossbow arrow that could be fired continuously, with extremely strong strength. As soon as we met, they killed half of my brothers. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the subordinates immediately ordered to escape. Unexpectedly, the scout was like a maggot in the throbbing bones, chasing me for dozens of miles, and in the end I was the only one left. If I hadn't met my brothers to save me, I wouldn't be able to see the king!" The scout cried and rushed to Han Sui's feet and cried bitterly.
Han Sui's face turned cold and asked word by word: "That means, you actually haven't seen the enemy's troops and scale?"
The detective cavalry blushed and replied: "But that's the case. Just looking at the long term, it's estimated that there are no less than 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and armor are excellent. As for the others, I don't know. King Han! King Han! I've tried my best! Brothers are all dead!"
Han Sui had a silence and suddenly kicked the only living detective rider away. His chest and sternum were broken, and he seemed to be out of life.
"Han——King! Didn't I let you call me the king? Why can't you remember it all the time? Hum?" Han Sui looked around, his eyes staring like a bronze bell.
In the tent, a group of people were silent.
After breathing for a long time, Han Sui continued to speak:
"Cheng Gongying! You have always been in charge of military scouts. What is the situation recently? Let me tell you."
"Yes!" One person stood up and said, "The scouts scattered around our army have been repeatedly unrewarded. On average, only half of the scouts who go out come back every time. Now, hundreds of the most elite veterans have been lost. We have to increase the intensity of the scouts and spread a lot of elite soldiers directly under the central government! But there are still only a few backs."
"Well! Which direction has the most scouts disappeared?"
Cheng Gongying paused and said, "There are many in any direction, but the most are the ones. In fact, it is the direction of Xianyang to the west and the Ba River to the east. In addition, after our army, there has been no news on the north bank of the Jing River for several days."
What? At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent immediately became a riot. Everyone was fighting old wars. What does this mean? Everyone was no longer so clear about it.
Just like in the era when the Han army cleared out the army's full pressure, once there is a large reduction in scouts in a certain direction, it often means that a large army is suppressing it, that is, everyone is currently in a full siege!
However, where can so many troops come from on this empty Guanzhong Plain? With such a large encirclement and such a perfect plan, if you want to wipe out this coalition of about 50,000 war soldiers, you must at least have to be surrounded by more than 100,000 war soldiers! Even in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, this is probably impossible! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site) and reward.
