Chapter 84: The Battle of Chang'an

Since Fu Jian shrank all his troops, it was basically equivalent to temporarily giving up all the other places in the entire Chang'an City except for the small city. I have to say that people who don't have a little courage really can't do this kind of practice.

Li Xin understands Fu Jian's thoughts very well, after all, as long as this difficulty is over, even if Chang'an is destroyed, there will be no problem. When the time comes, Guanzhong will be saved, are you still afraid that you won't be able to build a Chang'an City?

On the contrary, if you blindly want to keep the entire Chang'an City, in that case, it is useless to withdraw all the troops outside. Not to mention that the forces defending the city are too scattered, and it is very difficult to support this attrition.

It is precisely because of this that Chang'an City is basically unfortified. The few soldiers who defended the city were basically used for sentry, and as soon as they saw a large army outside the city, they immediately ran south. Li Xin asked Peng Lin to lead the cavalry to catch up, solve these defenders, and let Hu Yanfu and them quickly rush to the direction of the small city with a large army.

And he himself, according to the previous plan, began to prepare.

Among the 6,000 men, Liao Chuan led 1,000 men and horses to follow Huyan Poison and them to the south of the city, responsible for sealing the Zhangcheng Gate and the Zhicheng Gate in the west of the city, and guarding it at the same time. Liu Xiaohai took 1,500 people to the south of the city and closed the three gates of Xi'an Gate, Anmen and Fu'ang Gate, and at the same time 500 people from each gate were responsible for guarding them.

As for himself, he and Li Erhei and Zhou Tong took the remaining 3,500 people to set up near Yongmen. This is especially true between the eastern and western cities, where the space is relatively small and the lanes are vertical and horizontal, which has a great advantage for their layout.

And the troops arranged here are also relatively distinctive. Among them, more than 1,000 people have the best archery skills in the entire Huashan army, each of them carries fifty arrows on their backs, and the other weapons are basically nothing.

"Hurry up, hurry up and set it up, I'm afraid the enemy will come soon!" Li Xin urged his soldiers to speed up their movements.

At this time, Huyan Poison and his army finally rushed to the north of the small city. The so-called que, is the lookout tower, the palace buildings in the Han Dynasty have this style, that is, the kind of small buildings on the city wall on both sides of the city gate, which looks like a pavilion, mainly used to look at and observe from afar.

With so many people entering the city and advancing in the direction of the small city, it was impossible for the guards in the small city not to hear it, not to mention that it was already bright at this time. Soon, the palace wall was already heavily guarded, and Fu Jian, who was in the palace, also got the news at this time, and led a group of ministers and generals to the top of the city.

The circumference of the whole small city is nearly twenty miles, and the palace wall is about ten meters high. Because it was to win a great achievement, Hu Yanyu could be said to be the best this time, and it was originally 6,000 people, but he managed to get together 8,000 people. Of course, in this way, there will inevitably be some old and weak among them.

Coupled with Xue Zhenwen's 3,000 men and horses, these 11,000 people were placed here, and they immediately filled up the Zhichengmen Avenue outside the small city. Since they had already discussed it with each other when they came, the army quickly dispersed at this time, and almost every palace gate had 3,000 men and horses attacking the city. And Fu Jian's side guarding the city, if it is full, there are only 1,500 people in each direction.

"Damn thief, you've actually killed me in Chang'an City! After driving away Huan Wen this time, all these thieves must be eliminated! Fu Jian at the head of the city saw that there were many enemy troops under him, and he couldn't help but be angry.

He must have thought about this problem before, but after seeing it now, he was in a different mood. Moreover, the number of enemies was really beyond his expectations, after all, according to what he had known before, even the most powerful Huashan army was only more than 5,000 people.

"Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, please light the wolf smoke as soon as possible and notify the army outside the city to come to support!" When Sikong Yuzun saw this, he immediately said.

"What Lord Sikong said is reasonable, the army is not far from the city, if you rush back now, the enemy under the city will collapse without a fight!" The right servant shot Wang Cheng and also persuaded.

"No, although the thieves are fierce, but I have the solidity of a small city, and in a short time, I will not be attacked by them. It is already difficult for the army outside the city to block Huan Wen, if the troops are transferred back, they will inevitably be detected by Huan Wen, if he takes the opportunity to rise, it will be unfavorable to our army. Hold on to the palace wall for the time being, if things change, it's not too late to tell you in a hurry, with the proximity of my army, you can quickly return to help! Fu Jian pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and refused.

When the few ministers left behind beside him heard this, it was also the same reason, after all, if Huan Wen was defeated outside the city because of the matter of returning reinforcements, wouldn't it be empty at both ends? If you can't fight back against a strong enemy, or you can't fight back against a thief, it will really be a dead end when the time comes.

"Rush me! After rushing in, except for Fu Jian, all the treasures in the palace belonged to everyone! After the siege was completed, Xue Zhenwen immediately ordered.

"Oh! Kill! As soon as he heard this, the soldiers under his command immediately cheered loudly, and rushed towards the wall of the small city palace one by one.

The soldiers on the city wall, under the command of Fu Jian and the ministers, defended the city to prevent an enemy from climbing the city. At the beginning of the battle, the two sides directly killed to the white heat, after all, everyone knew that the key to the victory or defeat of this war was just a little place in the city. As long as he enters it, with the number of troops under the city, Fu Jian will not be able to escape at all.

In order to get this great achievement, Xue Zhenwen, Huyan Poison Hu Yangchi and others personally went into battle and took the lead in charging ahead. In this way, coupled with the attraction of the palaces and belongings in the city, the army under the city can be said to be full of fighting spirit, and they are not afraid of death and rush towards the city. All of a sudden, the sound of shouting and killing could be heard in the entire Chang'an City, and it was even far away from the city.

And just as they attacked, the soldiers and horses of the Huashan army, who had already rushed to the gates, began to act. After solving the small number of Qin soldiers guarding the gates, they closed the gates directly, and then took local materials, dismantled the surrounding beams and trees, and nailed these gates one by one, leaving 500 soldiers at each gate to defend the city.

Soon after the Battle of Chang'an began, the Qin army outside the city had already discovered the abnormality, and many generals ran outside the tent and looked in the direction of Chang'an.

"Hurry up and send someone to investigate, what's going on in Chang'an City!?" In the camp, Prince Fu Qin and a group of princes and ministers couldn't help but get anxious, and sent several people to investigate.

And just when Fu Qin and the other ministers of civil and military affairs were in a hurry, Huan Wen's Chinese military tent was also not calm.

"What a bold Xue Zhenwen, I explicitly forbid it, not to act at will, he actually left without telling him, and went to take Chang'an City! is so ignorant of the general situation, bad for me, is it because you want to try my Huan Wen's military law? "The people left by Xue Zhenwen came to the Huan Wen camp earlier to ask for a meeting, and if you count it, it will probably be when Li Xin and the others have just entered Chang'an City. When Huan Wen heard the news, he was furious.

"The general is angry, this matter may not be a good thing for us!" At this time, there was no discussion, so in addition to Huan Wen, only his army staff Xi Chao and Shuzuo Xiaoguan and others were left in the Chinese military tent. Xi Chao was naturally surprised when he knew the news, but after thinking about it for a while, he stood up and said.

"The small city of Chang'an is extremely strong, and with their thousands of people, it is not easy to break through the small city and take Fu Jian. If it doesn't work, won't it put my army at a disadvantage? Huan Wen was still angry, and waved his hand to make everyone else retreat.

"General, even so, the other party's actions this time can finally give a great restrain to Fu Qin's army. Regardless of whether they can succeed or not, let's just say that under the influence of the Qin army, their morale will inevitably plummet, and we will definitely catch them off guard if we move westward and engage them at this time. The more the enemy wants to reinforce the city, the better it will be for us. If you can take this opportunity to wipe out the Fu Qin army in one fell swoop, the big thing will be done! Seeing this, Xi Chao hurriedly enlightened.

Huan Wen didn't speak, but his expression was slightly flat, obviously touched.

"Moreover, we have been in the customs for several months, the distance is long and the transportation is difficult, and the military rations can not be supported for long. If you can't solve it quickly, I'm afraid that if it drags on, you will be defeated! Although Lord Xue acted without authorization, but the general did not forget the purpose of our Northern Expedition, if they were really lucky to win Fu Jian, the General's Northern Expedition this time can be described as a success, compared with the success of Pingshu to become a Han, I am afraid it is still three points! Seeing this, Xi Chao struck while the iron was hot.

Hearing this, Huan Wen finally figured it out, and the most important thing was that the so-called purpose touched his heart. At the moment, he can still tell what he needs.

"What I said is reasonable, but I am strict! Now there is a lack of food in the army, and at the same time, after the army entered the customs, Murong Jun moved frequently, and the army went south to fight, entered Henan, and occupied Luoshui. I don't have much time to stay in Guanzhong, and it wouldn't be a good thing if this battle was successful. Well, for the time being, let's write down Xue Zhenwen's military law, and wait until after the war to talk about merit! Come, and the heralds will come to discuss it! Huan Wen said.

Soon, all the generals in the Huan Wen army arrived, and when they got the news of Xue Zhenwen's attack on Chang'an, these generals had different expressions. But in general, it still shocked their spirits, after all, everyone knew that in such a situation, it would be greatly beneficial to their own army. 166 Reading Network
