Chapter 152: The decisive battle against Chang'an
The fire was refined for two hundred days, turning Mo into evil, and the blade broke King Kong. ------- Anonymous "Jiang Chengzi"
It is said that the Tiger Prison Guan Lu Bulian beheaded the five generals of the Dong Alliance, and forced the white horse general Gongsun Zan back with one move, and finally annoyed the three top heroes. Zhang Yide fell to the ground like a dark cloud, Guan Yun was born like a green dragon, Liu Xuande was like a gray bird flying in the sky, three whirlwinds of various colors surrounded the golden whirlwind, and the central battlefield was like a dense crater.
Lu Bu was the enemy of the three generals, and Guan Zhang and the two were ten thousand enemies, and their physical strength gradually weakened, so he waved his halberd to force Liu Xuande away, and the red rabbit horse escaped from the frightened Xuande like a whirlwind, and rushed towards the Tiger Prison Pass. Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered the army to assault, and more than 100,000 alliance troops rushed towards the Tiger Prison Pass for fear of being taken advantage of, and squeezed Sanying behind him. Cao Cao took the lead, passed by Sanying's side, reined in the war horse, and saluted: "Xuande, you are a hero in the world, but I didn't expect your two righteous brothers to be peerless generals. If he can't make good use of it, don't forget my Cao Mengde's invitation today. Saying that, he flew over to Guan Yu with a wink, which frightened Guan Yu and quickly closed his Danfeng eyes.
Xu Rong received LΓΌ Bu's defeated army into the city at the pass, hung the suspension bridge, and calmly repelled a wave of siege by the alliance army. Lu Bu ascended the city tower, and Xu Rong greeted him with a smile: "The courage of General Fengxian is really unparalleled in the world. Today, several generals of the other side should be recorded in the general's first merit. β
Lu Bu was originally a proud character, and he was overjoyed when he heard this: "General Xu is old and serious, and he has a good way to defend the city, and he killed Weizi in the first battle, which is the first achievement." I, Lu Fengxian, relied on General Xu's dispatch to guard the tiger prison for the emperor in order to repay my father-in-law's trust. β
Xu Rong hurriedly said: "General Fengxian is serious. We are all confidants of the Taishi, and we are in the same boat through thick and thin. Now the general and I are guarding the tiger prison together, the general is the main attack, and the main defense is below, so we can win more with less and keep the tiger prison safe. β
Since then, although it was difficult to conquer the tiger prison in the Dong Alliance, and the lost troops were defeated by Lu Bu, the number of troops was several times more than Dong Zhuo's army after all, and it also played a role in containing the 30,000 strong troops of Lu Bu and Xu Rong, which objectively caused the emptiness of Luoyang; At the same time, the decisive battle between the eastern suburbs of Chang'an and the southern suburbs of Chang'an has also begun.
Let's talk about the battle of the eastern suburbs of Chang'an first. Since Ma Tengjun obtained the letter forged by Zhong Xuan, he decided to order 20,000 Xiliang cavalry and 30,000 Qiang soldiers, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, to go to Anding to suppress the Han Sui rebels. Ma Teng has a beloved son Ma Chao, a long group of splendor, 13 years old, but has been good at shooting, skilled in bow and horse, learned a good swordsmanship from a famous teacher since childhood, called "out of the technique", and created a set of palm called "Xiliang palm". Under the seat of the "Fan Lake Jade Dragon Horse", known as "a dragon for a thousand miles", make a "tiger head Zhan golden gun", also known as the "five hook god flying bright silver gun", the famous stunt is the Ma family's "36 road desperate gun", there is the courage of ten thousand people.
Ma Teng led 50,000 soldiers with Ma Chao, crossed the Gobi Desert, crossed Jincheng County, and replaced the position of Huangfu Song to confront Han Sui. Ma Teng and Han Sui originally had a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they had deep feelings, and the two sides confronted each other for a long time, each restrained their soldiers and horses, and there was no fierce battle. Ma Teng sent people to send letters, saying that Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty did not blame him in the past and treated him kindly.
Han Sui didn't want to be an enemy of Ma Teng, but after seeing the letter, he hesitated and gradually moved. coincided with the leaders of the Qianghu rebels, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, who saw Han Sui standing still, suspected that Han Sui was colluding with the Han army, demoted Han Sui to a deputy general, appointed Bian Zhang as the leader of the rebels, and Song Yang as an assistant; Han Sui was furious, rebelled, killed Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang and others, Song Yang surrendered on the battlefield, Han Sui succeeded in one fell swoop, got the army of 100,000, shook hands with Ma Teng, returned to the Han family, Chang'an learned the news, Emperor Shaodi of Han immediately issued a pacification edict, appointed Han Sui as the stability of the Taishou, Ma Teng as the Wuwei Taishou, Huangfu Song as the Tianshui Taishou, Han Sui, Ma Teng each led the troops to exterminate the rebels in the Qiang area, the Xiliang rebels finally decided, relieved the worries of Chang'an, and completely cut off Dong Zhuo's way back to the west.
The appointment of Huangfu Song as the Taishou of Tianshui is naturally just Chen Long's strategy. The Taishou in all parts of Xiliang were appointed by Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, which was itself a premeditated coup d'Γ©tat, leaving aside Emperor Xian of Han, who was set up by Dong Zhuo, and Chen Long would naturally find a way to hold Xiliang firmly in his hands in the future.
Besides, Huangfu Song led 50,000 imperial troops to the battlefield in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. The 50,000 people under Huangfu Song have followed him for a long time to fight in the south and the north. Fan Chou, Zhang Ji's troops besieged the city for many days, already very tired, plus Xun You designed to harass the camp, burned the siege vehicles, quite anxious, at this time the report said that Huangfu Song's troops had arrived in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, immediately stopped the siege, dug trenches and set traps in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, ready to defend the eastern suburbs, waiting for Li Dao, Guo Yan's reinforcements. Jia Xu volunteered to escort the 30,000 troops of Li Dao and Guo Yan to cross the Tong Pass and go straight to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, and formed a three-legged situation with the imperial troops of Huangfu Song, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's Xiliang soldiers, and each took a defensive position. The defending troops of Huang Gai and Xun Yu were finally able to breathe and transferred their heavy troops to Nancheng to resist Gao Shun's troops attacking Nancheng, Gan Ning in Nancheng could finally take a breath, and the situation in Chang'an quickly reversed.
Huangfu Song's troops pinned down the main forces of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, and Gao Shun knew that the prospect of attacking the city was not good, and continued to attack for many days day and night, hoping to capture Chang'an before the situation became clear. This strong attack made Gan Ning vomit blood tiredly, and the defenders had already suffered casualties. If it weren't for the deep moat of Chang'an City, coupled with Lu Zhi and others abandoning the defense of the northern city and leading troops to help, coupled with the lack of siege equipment of Gao Shun's troops, I am afraid that the southern city might really fall. This time, even Huang Gai and Xun You also brought a new force to defend the southern city, Gan Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, and actually fell asleep on the ground of the detention center under the city.
Gao Shun attacked the city with all his might, but he didn't know that in the mountains and forests at the exit of the Meridian Valley behind him, a heavy army had gradually been gathered. Zhao Yun's aid to the first legion of the Qinglong Army in Hanzhong, in addition to the Hanzhong War, day and night, finally arrived in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, this long journey, almost exhausted every physical strength of the soldiers, Zhou Budo and Guo Jia with the army had to order the soldiers to rest for three days, to recuperate enough spirit to fight again, while waiting for Xu Shu to lead the rear team to converge. Zhou Budo ordered the investigators to make up to investigate Gao Shunjun's movements, and Gao Shunjun must not know the hiding place of Zhao Yun's First Army.
Within three days of the rest of the First Army, Gao Shun's army attacked Chang'an for a long time, and gradually found that the strength of Nanchengtou increased. Gao Shunfei was a brave and unscrupulous person, and felt that the situation had changed, and Chang'an would not be able to attack for a while and a half, so he ordered the troops to shrink and defend. On the same day, he received a letter from Li Dao, asking Gao Shun to give up the siege and bring his troops to Dongcheng as soon as possible to attack Huangfu Song's flank. In this way, concentrate the superior forces in order to defeat Huangfu Song in one fell swoop.
Gao Shun immediately made a decision and immediately urged the troops to demolish the camp, give up the siege, and quickly move east. Xun You, Huang Gai, Gan Ning and others in the city had not yet discovered this movement, but they were quickly informed by the investigators of the First Army Corps and reported to Zhao Yun and the other military divisions. Xu Shu's rear team had just arrived, and when he heard the news, he immediately said: "General Zilong, I'm afraid I can't rest anymore, if you let the Xiliang army and horses gather together, you will lose the opportunity to surprise attack." β
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "The meaning of the lord is also a surprise attack, at least it is necessary to hit Gao Shun's trap camp hard." β
Zhou Budo said: "Since Gao Shun is gone, we can just send people into the southern city, contact General Gongfu and them, and mobilize the troops in the city to attack at any time." β
Guo Jia also said: "I intend to ask General Zilong to lead 10,000 cavalry to immediately blitz and trap the flank of the camp, mainly to disrupt the surprise attack, and wait for the enemy to be chaotic, and then we will lead the infantry to find a weak place to strike, it is estimated that there is a time difference of half a day, and we can hit Gao Shun's troops one after another." At the same time, Huang Gai and others in the city were ordered to cooperate with the troops to attack Gao Shun's troops from the other side, and they could win a complete victory. β
As the saying goes, three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, not to mention the three smartest brains in the world. At the moment, all the generals had no objections, Zhao Yun ordered the investigators to quickly contact the guards of the southern city, and asked Huang Gai and Gan Ning to stand by to send troops from the city as appropriate, and still ordered the special forces to protect the three military divisions to lead the infantry, and he took 10,000 cavalry, quickly rushed out of the jungle, rushed out of the mouth of the Meridian Valley Treasure Bottle, and went straight to the southern suburbs of Chang'an along the official road.
Gao Shun has been in battle for a long time, and he is cautious and meticulous in his use of troops, and he is also fortified layer by layer on the way to retreat, and he has never lost an inch because of the hurry, which is also one of the reasons why he has become an elite soldier in the world. Gao Shun Gao is on top of the war horse, and has been paying attention to whether there are soldiers and horses covering from behind in the direction of Chang'an City, and the trapping camp has long been ready to prevent the pursuit of the soldiers.
As he was guarding and walking, suddenly the sound of hooves in the valley on the south side was loud, and Gao Shun saw that the dust was rising in the distance on the southern flank of the army, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and he didn't know whose troops would be on the south side, and he didn't know whether it was friend or foe. The focus of his defense was originally to pursue the troops in the city, so the archers who attacked from a distance and the spearmen who prevented the cavalry were placed on the north and rear flanks, and the cavalry defense on the south flank was relatively weak.
Seeing that the dust was getting closer and closer, Gao Shun saw that the sound of hooves was coming very viciously, and ordered the troops to stop advancing, and the archers and spearmen on the north side immediately rushed to the south side from the gap between the soldiers, and at the same time ordered the archers at the rear to quickly outflank along the south side, forming a V-shaped battle formation to defend against the southern cavalry.
Gao Shun's actions in the camp were not unpleasant, but the opposite side was also the peerless god general Zhao Yun. Cavalry assault, mainly chiseled through, quickly beheaded the enemy, created infantry chaos, and created opportunities for other troops. Zhao Yun knew the cavalry tactics well, knew that the sound of hooves would definitely cause the enemy general to wake up, or arrange traps in advance, at the same time that the cavalry team was about to approach Gao Shun's V-shaped defense circle, Zhao Yun's leading white horse turned slightly, dodging the hard confrontation with Gao Shun's archers and spearmen, and 10,000 cavalry dodged the first round of arrow rain of Gao Shun's troops like a torrent, and rushed into Gao Shun's weak front army.
Gao Shun's front army was full of sword soldiers and cavalry that belonged to Huaxiong, and they were all bent on rushing in front of the road, so as to help Li Dao, Guo Yan and others as soon as possible, and the defense was weak, and Zhao Yun's cavalry was all new-style sabers, stirrups, and spurs, which were as deep as sharp blades into Gao Shun's front army. Zhao Zilong is the blade of the blade, the white dragon horse is everywhere, the birds fly up and down towards the phoenix spear, a stout white dragon rotates around the steel spear, there is almost no one under the general, it can be said that he dies next to each other, and he dies when he touches it, and the corpses of soldiers and horses are thrown into the air like cotton wool, and they fall heavily into the dust, and are trampled into meat by the follow-up green dragon cavalry.
Gao Shun watched a white-robed young general from afar, led a team of cavalry to quickly chisel through the front army, as if devastated, and in a panic, he ordered his subordinates to blow the horn unique to the trapped camp, and ordered all the front troops to evacuate into the surrounding woods in order to avoid the sharp edge of the cavalry. The archers and spearmen of the rear army quickly rushed forward, arrows and stones rained down, chasing Zhao Yun's cavalry to hit behind the buttocks. But on the one hand, the front army and Zhao Yun's cavalry were mixed together, and they didn't dare to release arrows at will, on the other hand, the rear army pursued in a hurry, and suffered a lot in speed, seeing Zhao Yun's cavalry quickly disappear on the horizon after leaving a large number of corpses of the front army.
Gao Shun knew that it was not good, this cavalry came in vain, and he didn't know how the enemy would arrange it in the future. The order had just been arranged, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar behind him, Liu Xian's 10,000 archers had entered the firing range, and a round of arrow rain was already overwhelming, poor Gao Shun's rear team was full of archers and spearmen, and there were no swords for shield defense at all, so they had to endure round after round of arrow rain, leaving the bodies of their companions, and fleeing to the woods around them to dodge, and the rear team fell into chaos.
Gao Shun is like a headless fly, bumping into fires everywhere, no matter how famous a general looks, I don't know how many enemy troops are ambushed around. Hurriedly ordered his subordinates to blow the horn, and called the sword and shield soldiers of the front army to defend against the rain of arrows, resisting the enemy's strong bows and crossbows, the sword and shield soldiers had just recovered from the chaos, and rushed to the opponent's archers with shields, and finally the opponent's arrow rain suddenly stopped, and Liu Xian led the archers to retreat quickly. Suddenly, the sound of hooves that had just pierced through the front army resounded through the sky again, and it was Zhao Yun who led the army to kill back, and the sword and shield soldiers didn't even have time to turn around, Gao Shun hurriedly ordered the sword and shield soldiers to turn around, just rush forward, continue to pursue the archers, avoid the Zhao Yun cavalry assault behind them, and let the spearmen and archers on both sides come out to meet the enemy.
Although Gao Shun's command is correct, but the order is fast, the various arms under his command have long been ineffective, falling into a mess, and being hit by Zhao Yun's cavalry, suddenly the south side of the golden drum sounded again, this time it was Liu Yong and Liu Min who led the main infantry of 20,000 people, swarmed and filled the entire south side of the woods, and Gao Shun's army, which had just hid in the south side of the woods, immediately fell into bad luck, and the heads and corpses were thrown out of the jungle like cutting melons and vegetables.
Seeing this, Gao Shun couldn't help but feel like ashes, knowing that he would be defeated today, he raised the last trace of fighting spirit, and ordered all the soldiers to enter the jungle on the north side, defend according to the mountain, and then fight to the death after gaining a firm foothold. Suddenly, in the jungle on the north side, there were war drums sounding in unison, and it was Huang Gai and Gan Ning in the city who led the troops to appear on the north side of Gao Shun's army.
Gao Shun saw that there were the enemy's war drums on the left and right, and the brothers around him fell to the ground one by one, the stray arrows flew like locusts, and the battlefield was like hell, threw the steel knife in his hand, and screamed: "Fall into the camp and rest!" "When you pull out your waist knife, you have to swing it at your neck.
