After the rain, puddles with corpses floating everywhere in the Wei army camp, with single swords and cracked shields everywhere.

Yuan Hao's Wei army and Chen Qingzhi's Liang army swept the messy camps.

Although Meng Tian's offensive was resolved by Chen Qingzhi, the losses here were also heavy.

Three hundred white-robed soldiers were killed, one thousand Liang army was killed, and ten thousand Yuan Hao's Hu soldiers were killed.

"Meng Tian is a famous general. In this case, he can actually organize a surprise attack of ten thousand people. Chen Qingzhi's reaction was also very fast. If he could conquer this white-robed army, I could make great contributions."

Su Dai inspected the camp and saw the white-robed army burying the bodies of his companions, and his expression was sad. He knew that these white-robed cavalry were like brothers and sisters, so he attached more importance to this white-robed army.

If this white-robed army can be recruited, it will be considered the contribution of Su Dai.

Chen Qingzhi led a group of military leaders to erect monuments for the Liang soldiers who died in battle.

"This is a troubled time."

Chen Qingzhi sighed deeply.

Currently, the number of white-robed soldiers is less than 3,000.

Meng Tian retreated does not mean that Meng Tian has failed.

Meng Tian attacked Wei and Liang coalition camps and killed tens of thousands. The two sides can only say that they have a victory or defeat.

He had to continue the battle with Meng Tian next, and Chen Qingzhi was not sure how many white-robed soldiers could survive.

Even Chen Qingzhi, the chief general of the White Robe Army, may be killed in battle here.

"The famous general of the master Mo Zilao, thousands of troops avoid the white robe. The white robe army is also a legend. But less than half of the white robe army is left."

Su Dai appeared next to Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi looked at this unusual strategist.

Su Dai was obviously a strategist of Zhang Hua's power, but he had been following Yuan Hao for a while and gave advice for him.

"Since I have been in the army, I have already prepared to wrap my body in the horse, even if I am the same."

...

Huashan Town, after heavy rain, the 100,000 Xia troops began to become active and marched towards Fenghuang Town.

Chen Qingzhi has already fought with Meng Tian, ​​and the two sides have a victory or defeat, and it will restrain a difficult opponent for Zhang Hua.

Both the commander and the force of Meng Tian are quite amazing. If Meng Tian leads the Qin army to help the Tang army, then Zhang Hua will have even more headaches.

"Chen Qingzhi's talent, in a sense, is very strong."

Zhang Hua learned about the battle between Chen Qingzhi and Meng Tian.

Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army was as fast as a rushing stream, faster than any cavalry under Zhang Hua's command.

Soldiers are of great speed, and Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army perfectly reflects this military philosophy.

Chen Qingzhi, who has this ability, restrains Meng Tian in the west, and Zhang Hua doesn't have to worry about Meng Tian appearing on the battlefield between the Xia army and the Tang army for the time being.

Ten thousand Xia troops arrived at Fenghuang Town to build siege equipment, dig tunnels, and pile up dirt mountains.

How did the Tang army attack the city? Now Zhang Hua uses his own way to do it!

The Xia army camps were endless, and the baggage trucks were endless.

The Tang army guarding Fenghuang Town built arrow towers crazily to block the Xia army's military power. In a second-level town, there were hundreds of arrow towers.

Zhang Hua invited the chief general of the Tang army to fight to the death in the wild, but was rejected by the Tang army.

The Tang army guarded the city and wanted to wait for a chance to fight back.

The Qin army and the Dashun army were all planning to Guanzhong, but there were changes in the middle.

"The Tang army stationed at least 60,000 troops in Huashan Town, which means that the number of Tang troops in other places is less than 40,000, or even fewer. The lord may be able to send a partial army to attack Chang'an in surprise."

After observing the Tang army's defense line, Chen Gong proposed a bold idea to Zhang Hua.

Before this, An Lushan adopted the tactic of driving straight into Chang'an, but unfortunately he failed.

"A Lushan used more than 100,000 troops at that time to break through the outer city of Chang'an. If only tens of thousands of cavalry were sent to attack Chang'an, it would be difficult to break through."

It was not that Zhang Hua had considered bypassing the main force of the Tang army and capturing Chang'an, and forcing Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to surrender, but An Lushan carefully planned for half a year and summoned more than 100,000 troops. Taking advantage of the main force of the Tang army leaving Chang'an City, he then captured the outer city of Chang'an.

If Zhang Hua had divided tens of thousands of troops, he might not be able to conquer Chang'an.

Chen Gong said: "Chang'an City was destroyed by An Lushan and turned into a town. Its degree of solidity is not as strong as before. The lord might as well attack Fenghuang Town, forcing Li Longji to transfer more Tang troops guarding Chang'an to Fenghuang Town. In this way, the success rate of the surprise attack on Chang'an will be greatly improved."

"It's not impossible to do this."

Zhang Hua planned according to Chen Gong's ideas and found that it was really possible to succeed.

"Transfer ten thousand light cavalry from Heluo to Guanzhong."

"Order Linjin and Sanyuan to recruit five thousand light cavalry each."

Zhang Hua temporarily recruited 20,000 light cavalry to increase the number of Xia troops for surprise attacks.

In order to deal with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Zhang Hua has been actively preparing after beheading An Lushan.

The Xia army built dozens of catapults and hundreds of huge bed crossbows.

In addition, towering siege towers and ferocious collision cars appeared in the Xia army's camp.

In March of the third year of the Great Xia calendar formulated by Guo Shoujing, the Xia army could not wait to launch a large-scale attack on Fenghuang Town, which was stationed by 60,000 Tang troops.

Dozens of catapults bombarded the fortifications of Phoenix Town crazily, and several arrow towers collapsed directly, and hundreds of Tang army archers were killed.

A large number of Xia army braved the Tang army's arrow rain, carried sandbags and wicker baskets, filled the moat, laying the foundation for a large-scale siege.

Bang!

Large-scale crossbow shot, crossbow arrows were nailed into the rammed earth wall of Fenghuang Town, and gravel foam splashed!

The Tang army general Zhang Shigui led the shooting camp, and thousands of arrows were fired at once. The rain of arrows covered the sky and shot the Xia army that had filled the moat, causing hundreds of Xia soldiers to fall on the way.

Zhang Shigui's shooting camp has a rate of fire that exceeds 30% of ordinary archers, and the arrows are shot one after another, suppressing the Xia army.

Xue Rengui held the longbow in his right hand and quickly cleared the arrow pouch. With just one person, he shot and killed dozens of Xia army soldiers.

A Xia general was shot into an arrow and fell into the moat.

The morale of the Xia army was reduced.

The Xia army had just begun to test the attack, and hundreds of people had been lost in order to fill the moat.

Zhang Hua became increasingly aware of the importance of the strategy proposed by Chen Gong.

There are 60,000 elite Tang army in Fenghuang Town, as well as Xue Rengui, the most powerful general of the Tang army, as well as Zhang Shigui and Cheng Mingzhen, famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty. These are famous generals who followed Guotian Khan Li Shimin.

The 100,000 Xia army attacked the towns stationed by the 60,000 Tang army, and at least half of them would be lost, perhaps more.

"If you attack Chang'an in surprise, who should be the main general?"

Zhang Hua looked for a team leader who was surprised to attack Chang'an.

Li Ji, who is good at using troops, is a good candidate, but Li Ji led 30,000 Xia troops to fight with Wang Li, deputy general of the Qin army in Jingshui.

"Maybe only Deng Ai can do it."

In this case, the candidate Zhang Hua thought of was Deng Ai, who was good at surprise attacks.

Deng Ai's forced military talent allows Deng Ai to have unexpected results.

"Ma Wu, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Lu Lingqi, and Li Ling followed Deng Ai and led 30,000 cavalrymen to attack Chang'an from the north."

Zhang Hua transferred 10,000 cavalry from Heluo, recruited 10,000 cavalry from Guanzhong, distributed 10,000 cavalry from his army, gave Deng Ai 30,000 cavalry, and asked Deng Ai to take down Chang'an.

Zhang Hua believes that it is quite difficult.

Chang'an Town is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the defenders only have 10,000, 30,000 cavalry may not be able to conquer Chang'an.

"The lord has entrusted the important task to Ai, and Ai will fulfill his mission!"

Deng Ai was young and energetic. Seeing that Zhang Hua handed over 30,000 cavalry to him, three thousand of them, Yi Luohe, he thought that Zhang Hua attached importance to him, so he immediately agreed and vowed to take Chang'an.

That is, the radical generals like Deng Ai have the courage to lead difficult tasks.

If it were a steady veteran, he might not have dared to accept the military order.

Deng Ai and others took 30,000 cavalry to leave the Xia army camp overnight, crossed the Wei River north, marched west for a distance, bypassed the main force of the Tang army, and suddenly crossed the Wei River south and marched towards Chang'an Town.

In order to cover Deng Ai's actions, Zhang Hua officially ordered a strong attack on Phoenix Town!

The Xia army built a mountain of earthen mountains higher than the city walls. Sun Shangxiang led a team of archers to condescend to suppress the defenders of Fenghuang Town.

All the dispatches of the Tang army in Fenghuang Town were clearly seen by the Xia army on the Tushan Mountain.

Huang Zhong led the archers to shoot against Xue Rengui.

Zhang Hua had only one task assigned to Huang Zhong, that is, he was optimistic about Xue Rengui, otherwise Xue Rengui's archery skills would pose too great a threat to the Xia army generals.

Two streams of light collided over the battlefield, sparks flashed, and the arrow shaft broke.

When Huang Zhong talked about the young man, he was in a row with Xue Rengui, and the two kept competing with archery skills, and they were evenly matched.

And military generals such as Xu Chu, Zhou Tai, Zhao Ponu, and Zhou Zhang took turns to attack the city walls and consumed the Tang army's troops.
