Speaking of Chang'an City, Zhong Yi stood at the top of the city, pressing the city wall, staring at the battle outside for a long time. His face, which was originally heroic, had no time to trim because of the days of fighting. He was already full of beards and a few blood stains on his cheeks.

Not only Zhong Yi, but also all the generals in Chang'an City, have reached their limit. For more than twenty days, no one dared to be careless. They have been exhausted for a long time after several days. If reinforcements had not arrived in time, Chang'an City would have been unable to defend.

The people of the Zhong family were all going to the city and were ready to fight to the death. Even Zhong Hui changed his armor.

At the most critical moment, watching the reinforcements brought by the Han Lord defeat Sima Yan, the two cavalry were unstoppable, and the Wei army had not even held on for an hour. It collapsed with one wave of impact. Most of the central army of the Wei army slowly retreated, and part of the Han army was pressing on it. This scene made everyone in the city stunned.

Looking at the situation under the city, the central army of Wei was retreating, and tens of thousands of remaining troops were fleeing in a panic. In the Han army, apart from the pursuit of cavalry, they divided up about 20,000 infantry, and were shouting from time to time: "Whoever kneels up and abandons his weapons will not be killed."

Most of the scattered Wei troops were tired from running and kneeled down to surrender. Such a battle situation seemed like a dream, which made people really unable to believe it.

But the fact is right in front of us. The defeated Wei army threw away their armor and fled everywhere. The Han army in armor was constantly chasing and destroying the enemy. Blood continued to bloom on the ground, and the smell of blood continued to spread in the air. This scene was really a dream, and it was too real.

"The Wei army of 200,000 was defeated like this?" In a hoarse voice, Zhong Hui looked at it for a long time before saying this. He said it, but he could not hear his subordinates' response.

He turned his head and looked aside, and found that the soldiers on both sides were all like him, with a look of disbelief on his face, looking down.

"Uncle, Han Army, is too powerful..." Zhong Yi, who was the one who was the best, stuttered and spoke at this time for a long time.

The Wei army was all strong soldiers, with 200,000 troops, and they were also well-armed. They had a strong city, but they were still defeated by the Wei army all the way to Chang'an City. However, such a strong army was defeated with one blow today, which is really hard to believe.

Zhong Yi did not say anything else afterwards, and he understood the meaning of his intention to express it very clearly. The strength of the Han army was really unexpected. It was really terrifying to be able to defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop.

Of course, if the Wei people are too weak and the Han army is too strong, the gap is actually not big, and this is actually the biggest coincidence caused by many special factors.

First of all, most of the Wei people attacked the city in turn today without stopping, and the upper and lower parts were exhausted; secondly, the Han army came quickly and the formation of the Wei army was really scattered, and as long as the Wei army was given an hour to prepare, the result of this battle might be different.

At least, most of the Wei army would not be dispersed so easily, allowing the Han army to strangle, and there are factors that support military and military intelligence. However, outsiders do not know this secret method.

Zhong Jun on another city wall looked at the fleeing Wei army under the city, and was silent for a moment, and said, "The battle under the city will not end for a while. You just need to garrison here and do not act rashly. I will go to meet the governor Zhong."

After saying that, he ordered the generals beside him to temporarily take charge of military affairs. He turned around and went down to the city and asked where Zhong Hui was.

At this time, the Governor's Mansion and Zhong's Mansion in Chang'an City were all anxious and uneasy.

These slaves would not know about the situation outside the city, but they had known that once the city was captured by the Wei army, the rest of the people might have a way out. They had become one with the Zhong family, but they had only one way out.

While worried, I heard the slogan "The General returned home" and felt relieved. There was nothing big in the city. Zhong Hui has been on the city for the past few days. Only when the Wei army retreated would he return home. It seems that today has been passed.

But seeing Zhong Hui's face turned pale, he went back to the study and felt silent. These people were naturally up and down.

Obviously they were worried too early. Zhong Huisuo was in the bedroom. As the guards of his family were about to enter, a voice soon came from the voice: "The eldest son Zhong Jun is asking for a meeting outside."

"Let him come in!" Zhong Hui said.

"Uncle, what should we do in this battle? The Wei army has been completely defeated by the Han army!" Hearing Zhong Jun in, he heard a shout, with a clear panic in his tone.

Zhong Hui was in a very delicate mood at this time. He felt relieved about the defeat of the Wei army, and was afraid of the Han army. He had already made a decision before, but at the beginning, he found that he was still unwilling to accept this.

According to his thoughts, he hoped that both the Han and Wei families would be injured and both were defeated. He did not want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he could also take the opportunity to make some capital and negotiate good conditions. However, the current situation was beyond his expectations and caught him off guard.

If you want to negotiate the terms, you don’t know what to mention!

"What are you panic?" Zhong Hui was still shocked in front of his nephew and scolded him.

Zhong Jun was stunned, and quickly stood with his head down and his hands down, glanced at Zhong Hui from time to time.

The two are actually not very old. Zhong Jun is thirty-five or six years old, and Zhong Hui is only forty years old. Although they are uncles and nephews, they look more like brothers. Both have square faces and thin eyebrows, but Zhong Hui's face is majestic. At this time, his eyebrows are locked and he is pondering in the room.

Zhong Hui thought for a moment and then instructed Zhong Jun: "Looking at you like this, it's been a hard work. Go to wash and change your clothes first and then come to the study to talk!"

"Yes, uncle." Seeing that his uncle was so calm, he seemed to have a backbone. Zhong Jun calmed down his panic and quickly responded.

Zhong Hui coughed a few times at this time.

Zhong Jun then realized that Zhong Hui looked ugly and felt uneasy. He hurriedly said, "Uncle, your body..."

"No problem, go and cook the previous things first, it's just a moment of depression." Zhong Hui waved his hand and asked him to go out.

After a while, I finished washing up and arrived at the study.

After entering, I saw Zhong Hui drinking tea, but his eyebrows were still frowning. When I heard my nephew coming, he said, "Sit down!"

Zhong Jun answered his order and found a chair to sit. In the study, Zhong Yong was still there, and Zhong Yi was there.

At this time, there were only three of them in the room.

There is also a map hanging in the study.

After Zhong Hui glanced over, he sighed: "I really didn't expect that Zhong Hui would fall into such a field now..." Love me e-book

"uncle……"

Seeing Zhong Jun appearing worried, Zhong Hui waved his hand with a wry smile: "It's just emotion, Yi'er, tell me the current situation of the war. Although I saw and heard the result, you are the one who came to the battle in person. Do you think the Han army defeated the Wei army was not very heavy?"

"Yes, uncle, there were not many casualties. There may be only eleven of the Wei people, and there are even more strange things. According to the fourth brother's message, the Han army raised troops and attacked Huaili County this morning. It should have taken two or three days to do it!" Zhong Jun replied: "But judging from the current situation, it may be broken in just one or two hours. This is really puzzled. Will it not be attacked by Huaili County?"

"But even so, 100,000 Han troops rushed to Chang'an City and fought with the Wei army outside the city. According to common sense, even if one side wins, it will lose huge losses. But in fact, the Han army did not suffer much. Just as two cavalry rushes, they will defeat the Wei army without any damage. I think the Han army has lost at most more than a thousand people, which makes my nephew unable to see or understand."

Zhong Hui himself had considered these questions for a long time. At this time, he said: "According to the news, the Han army arrived in Huaili County last night and started attacking this morning. Even if Huaili County is vulnerable, it will take half a day, right? The Han army could not reach the city of Chang'an so quickly, and it is not difficult to defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop."

"The Wei army has been attacking Chang'an for more than twenty days. It can be said that the soldiers from all over the country were exhausted and unable to guard against it, so they retreated from the city. The formation was scattered, and it was not difficult for the Han army to break it in one fell swoop. The Han army's cavalry were all elite. Perhaps the Han army's military armor was indeed a little more powerful, and the Han army's combat power was always above the Wei army, which was possible to easily win.

The key is how the Han army captured Huaili County so quickly this morning and arrived in Chang'an. This is a big problem. The Han army could not let Huaili County stay. Before the victory or defeat of this battle, the outcome is still unknown. How could the Han emperor bet?

If it had not won, then Huaili County would be cut off from the food route and the retreat route, and the 100,000 troops would be gone in one day. How could the Emperor of Han make such a fuss about the national fortune? Huaili County must have been taken down!"

Although the Han army came in time, Chang'an City and their Zhong family were not under the hands of the Sima family, and the Zhong family had never fallen into a catastrophe, the combat effectiveness of the Han army made Zhong Hui unable to understand.

Zhong Yong was also curious about this matter at this time. As he listened to the discussion, he suddenly said: "I thought hard, could it be that the garrison of Huaili County surrendered?"

At this moment, someone came in to report that the messenger of the fourth young master Zhong Zi had arrived at this time.

"Let him come in." Zhong Hui said: "This person has been following Yuner, and he must know the key inside."

After a while, the messenger had already walked into the hall from outside, saluting Zhong Hui first and saluting Zhong Jun and the other ones.

"No need to be polite. Do you know how Huaili County was quickly compromised?"

"Yes, the villain and the fourth prince were ordered to serve as messengers. Your Majesty did not ask us to avoid it. I also watched the battle and knew how Huaili County was captured."

"Speak." Zhong Hui said in a deep voice.

"After the villain and the fourth young master took the mission, they arrived at Chencang County. It was very smooth at the beginning. His Majesty agreed to send troops and officially sent troops the next day. The villain was also happy."

"When I arrived in Meixian, the fourth young master took the front army to Wugong County. The villain was still in Meixian. General Pang, the county magistrate of Meixian, also opened the city to welcome him. However, his Majesty asked General Pang to be the vanguard. General Pang was unwilling, so His Majesty immediately killed General Pang, asked the envoy Tian to lead General Pang's troops, and then stayed in Meixian for a few days."

Speaking of this, Zhong Hui's face remained unchanged. He seemed to have known it for a long time, and said to the messenger: "Speak."

"Yes, when I arrived in Wugong County, I rested for a few more days. The Fourth Master and I kept asking again, but Your Majesty refused. That is, yesterday, Your Majesty led the army eastward to Huaili County. This morning, the Fourth Master asked several times. Your Majesty said that it would be possible to break Huaili County in half a day, and the villain and the Fourth Master could not.

In the morning, I saw ten large cars in the Han army. I heard they called them the huge stone car. This car required a hundred people to call it. It was very powerful. Just two or three times hit the stone, and it made several gaps in the wall of Huaili County.

Your Majesty ordered 30,000 soldiers to rush in, and in less than an hour, Huaili County was gone…”

"After that, Your Majesty led his troops to attack here and fought with the Wei thieves to win in one fell swoop. The huge stone cart was really beyond human power. The villain came on the order of the fourth son..." The messenger reported the content he received in detail to several people. Finally, he looked at Zhong Hui's expression and dared not say anything further.

When he heard this news, not only Zhong Yi and others were shocked, but Zhong Hui was also shocked by the powerful catapult mentioned at this time.

"It was just two or three attacks that broke the gap in the Huaili County wall. I really didn't expect that the Han army had such a powerful weapon, and its power was unimaginable..." Zhong Hui murmured.

Huaili County was originally the county seat, and the city walls were more than ordinary city walls. He had been there several times and had some understanding. Since he could smash Huaili County by several hits, even if it was Chang'an, it would not be able to resist much time.

Today, he also saw several tall catapults in the Han army. They were just a sharp weapon that required hundreds of people to use. Can they still be called catapults? The giant stone machine has an indecent name, but it is also considered a thing as its name!

When did such magical artifacts exist in the Han army? There was no such information in the previous battles between the three counties and the battle of Liangzhou. In theory, such powerful weapons were not available in one day. Could it be that the Han army has been hiding them all the time?

This was the most uneasy for him, because he didn't know what magical artifacts there were in the Han army.

His Chang'an City was also very dangerous. Naturally, the Han Dynasty could not allow him to be independent in Chang'an City, and he might have a battle.

If it were before, Zhong Hui would have responded to it in one battle, but now the Han army occupied the surrounding counties and Chang'an has become an isolated city, and the offensive and defensive battles in Chang'an City have lost more than half of its strength in the past 20 days.

Thinking of this, Zhong Hui was very regretful. A few days ago, Zhong Qian ordered someone to send someone a letter from the Han lord, promising him to be named King of Qin, guard the four counties, and be the Yan Han guard. In this way, that was just a delaying strategy!

The most important thing is that Chang'an City is now broken and the soldiers are exhausted. They were already tense and could resist for a few days, but now they have loosened up all of a sudden, and it will be difficult to fight again.

Zhong Hui knew in his heart that even if the knife was pressed on his neck, few of these tired soldiers could get up and fight.

This is not considered that the Han army used the huge stone machine!

Thinking of this, Zhong Hui suddenly became a little dizzy!

"Father, do you want to use some food first?" At this time, Zhong Yong stepped forward and supported Zhong Hui and said.

"No, at this time, we can't take care of these things. Let's go and watch the situation of the Han army." Although his body was weak, Zhong Hui still ordered to go to the city to watch.

At this time, it was already dark in the night, and under the vast sky, the Han army camp not far away was particularly eye-catching.

The Han army still had at least 30,000 camps here and occupied the camp abandoned by the Wei army. Looking around, there was a bonfire that lasted several miles. At night, a red color shone brightly.
