Chapter 427 Mantis catching cicadas

Fan Chou is dead.

Fan Chou, who was named General of the Central Army by Dong Zhuo, is one of the top existences in the Xiliang army. There are only a few people including Niu Fu, Li Jue, etc. in the entire Xiliang army.

Fan Chou may never have dreamed that he would be killed by a general who he thought was unknown under such circumstances.

Even when he was dying, he didn't even know who the person he killed was.

As soon as Fan Chou died, the Xiliang army on the front line became in chaos in an instant!

Fan Chou's position in the Xiliang army was so important. His death directly affected the formation and deployment of the Xiliang army on the front line. As a general of the Central Army, he is currently the highest-ranking existence in the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang soldiers surrounding Huang Zhong retreated. They were shocked by Huang Zhong's force and dared not move forward easily.

The crossbow arrows on the top of the city also began to increase, and the Xiliang soldiers who had already fought to the death to the city were shot back again.

Huang Zhong seized this opportunity and suddenly grabbed the horse's belly and drove the horses to lead the troops straight to Qingming Gate. The Jingzhou soldiers behind him also took advantage of the gap in the Western Liang army's loss of consciousness and followed Huang Zhong away from the battlefield.

The war on the front line was soon reported to Dong Zhuo by the scout.

After learning that Fan Chou died in battle, Dong Zhuo was stunned.

He sat in the chariot, staring at Chang'an City in the distance in a daze, then suddenly slapped the handrail of the chariot, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Who is the thief who dares to kill my beloved general! This revenge will never stop!"

After saying that, Dong Zhuo suddenly turned his head to the scout and said, "Let the soldiers defending Zhangchengmen must capture this beast alive. I will cut off his flesh with one knife and one knife. I will make him regret coming to this world!"

The scout hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, the bandits did not go to Zhangcheng Gate, but went in the opposite direction!"

"What?" Dong Zhuo's eyes, like a lion, widened in an instant. After thinking for a while, he realized that he had fallen into the other party's plan.

He turned his head and shouted to Lu Bu, "Where is Fengxian?"

"Baby is here!"

"Fengxian, please hurry up and chase the enemy general, don't let him escape back to the city!"

"only!"

Lu Bu immediately received the order, and then called Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng to lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to chase him.

Zhang Liao also rushed forward and said to him: "Marquis Duting, the last official will go with you."

"Okay! Wen Yuan is very kind to follow him." Lu Bu nodded and then led everyone to the direction of Qingming Gate.

At this time, Huang Zhong had already arrived at the Qingming Gate. He did not go in first, but asked the soldiers of the three armies to enter the city one by one. He himself was stationed outside and observing the situation behind indifferently.

Sure enough, a short while later, Lu Bu and other Bingzhou cavalry followed closely behind and rushed towards them at extremely fast speed.

"Don't leave, thief! I'm going to avenge Fan Chou!" Lu Bu roared loudly and rushed straight towards him.

Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu, and was about to rush to the Qingming Gate. He quickly took out a feather arrow from the quiver, aimed at Huang Zhong who was standing under the city, and shot it out with an arrow.

Zhang Liao has been on the frontier for a long time, and he is also very ordinary when it comes to archery techniques, but the archery technique is still too shallow in Huang Zhong's opinion.

Huang Zhong raised his knife and knocked Zhang Liao's arrow to the ground in an understatement, sneering: "How dare you come to Huang for such a skill?"

After saying that, Huang Zhong took out his four-stone strong bow, bent his bow and arrow to aim at Zhang Liao's Tianling and shot it.

Zhang Liao was shocked and hurriedly sank his body down.

The arrow happened to hit Zhang Liao's pistol, and shot his pistol from his head to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao was shocked and hurriedly pulled his horse, subconsciously reaching out to touch his head.

The head is still there...

Huang Zhong's subordinates kept firing three arrows in a row, aiming at Lu Bu, Song Xian and Wei Xu who were walking with Zhang Liao and rushing in the front.

Song Xian and Wei Xu could not change the direction of the horse, so they could only twist and dodge. In a hurry, they all fell off the horse in a mess, and all their ugly appearances appeared.

The two arrows shot into the chests of the two personal soldiers behind them.

The sharp arrow shot at Lu Bu was lifted up by Lu Bu and steadily fiddled to the ground.

Huang Zhong shot four arrows, killed two people, knocked down two generals, shot one general's dove away, and ordered the main general Lu Bu to stop on the spot, which shocked the soldiers for a while and shocked the three armies.

Lu Bu waved his hand and ordered the three armies to stop, and the horse stationed not far away, looking at Huang Zhong coldly.

At this time, all the soldiers and generals under Huang Zhong had retreated into the city, leaving him alone outside the city gate, holding a big bow, holding his head and chest up, and blocking the road with a big golden sword.

"Huang Zhong!" Lu Bu roared with gritted teeth: "It's you!"

Huang Zhong bowed to Lu Bu calmly and said, "Marquis Duting, I haven't seen you for a long time! The Lord and Marquis are still as handsome as they are. It's so gratifying."

Lu Bu shook his spear and shouted: "Lu is wondering, who in the Chen army has such a means to seize Chang'an and kill Fan Chou... I didn't expect that you were actually in the Chen army! You are the one who injured Zhang Wenyuan in the previous series, right?"

Huang Zhong said lightly: "Zhang Liao's ordinary man, injured King Chen, and Huang's sword was too shallow after all. If you have another chance the next day, you will definitely ask for advice again!"

Zhang Liao stood beside Lu Bu with disheveled hair, and did not show any weakness when he heard this: "I heard that you are the number one strong general in Jingchu. If Liao could get Huang Gong's advice, he would be a blessing in his life!"

Huang Zhong laughed and said, "Let's talk about it if you have the chance. If you want to compete with Huang these days, you might as well come over to attack the city. Huang is waiting for all the generals in the city!"

Lu Bu said coldly: "Huang Zhong, don't be rampant! Although you are brave, you are trapped in Chang'an. We cannot take this city today. We are actually the main force before we arrive. The prime minister has nearly 200,000 elite soldiers. When the main force behind us arrives, even if we step on horseback, it is enough to step on you and the mobs of Chen State into powder... You can wait for death in the city!"

Huang Zhong was not angry when he heard this, but just said lightly: "Mr. Huang is waiting!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the Qingming Gate.

Wei Xu pounced on the dust on his body, climbed onto the war horse, and said in anger: "Fengxian, why didn't he kill directly? What's the point of doing with his useless lips and tongue?"

Lu Bu snorted: "You can't see? His troops have already entered the city. Although he is standing outside the gate, he can turn around and enter the city at any time. He is obviously prepared for it, so how can we catch up?"

Zhang Liao said on the side: "Mr. Wei, since Huang Zhong is here, he has already planned to withdraw his troops from Qingming Gate, and there will inevitably be a response in the city. If someone guessed correctly, there will definitely be crossbow soldiers ambushing the city wall. Once we get closer, the other party will fly crossbows and fire them at once. We are all cavalrymen. Wouldn't we let them slaughter?"

Wei Xu was quite dissatisfied, but he could not argue.

He looked at the Qingming Gate not far away and sighed a long sigh in his mouth.

Fan Chou's death had a great impact on the morale of the Xiliang army. After Huang Zhong entered Chang'an, Dong Zhuo ordered several attacks, but they all returned in vain.

The soldiers of Chen State used a crossbow to defend the city, and the more they fought, the easier it was. Every time the Xiliang army approached the city, they left a large area of ​​the corpses of the Xiliang soldiers under the city.

Seeing that the city was difficult to capture for the time being, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.

Afterwards, he immediately ordered people to go to the rear to urge Li Meng, Wang Fang, Duan Wei and others to speed up the marching and quickly led a large group of troops to Chang'an to siege Huang Zhong.

Dong Zhuo vowed that he would crush Huang Zhong and Chen's soldiers to death in Chang'an City.

...

Hedong County District, Anyi.

Previously, Wang Yun took Liu Xie to escape from Chang'an and wanted to go north to enter Hedong, but ultimately failed.

He contacted Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong County, in advance, and wanted him to lead his troops to Jingzhao for support.

Wang Yi was a disciple of Liu Kuan and was also a famous scholar in the country. He was wise and wise, and had a loyal aspiration to the emperor.

Originally, he really wanted to lead his troops into Jingzhao to rescue Wang Yun.

But a soldier quietly entered Hedong and intercepted Wang Yi.

The owner of this army is Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had previously joined forces with Wang Yun and promised him to send troops to support him, but at the critical moment, he suddenly regretted it and used the excuse of chaos in Jizhou and could not lead troops to support him...

But now, he led his troops into Hedong County. He first controlled Wang Yi and did not let him act rashly. Then he immediately sent someone to block the news, wait for the battle, and sent people to Guanzhong from time to time to inquire about the movements of Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo and others.
