Lu Bu personally commanded more than 1,000 horsemen and rushed out of the city gate, aiming directly at Li Dao's well car.

With the archers on the city wall suppressing, Li Dao's soldiers could not form an effective formation to resist Lü Bu, and he was soon rushed to the first well under the chariot.

Lu Bu wielded Fang Tian's halberd and constantly defeated the Li Dao soldiers who came, and on his side, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and other generals followed, with them resisting, the remaining soldiers easily smashed the oil canister hanging on the horses on the well block, and soon the wooden well wall was blazing.

The soldiers on the well did not have time to escape, and were overwhelmed by the flames.

Seeing that the fire had started, Lu Bu did not stay any longer and continued to set off towards another well.

In order to conquer the tall Chang'an city wall, Li Wei built a total of more than 20 wells, and if he didn't hurry up, these wells would come under the city wall.

"Kill."

After Lü Bu burned seven or eight wells in a row, Li Dao's army against Lü Bu also rushed over.

This time, he learned to be obedient, and did not go out in person, but sent the general Hu Zhen to meet the battle.

Hu Zhen had nearly 2,000 cavalry, and he fought with Lu Bu at once, but when it came to cavalry warfare, how could Lu Bu be afraid of Hu Zhen.

In addition, there were several generals in Lu Bu's army, and Hu Zhen's army gradually showed defeat.

Li Dao didn't care much about Lu Bu's more than 1,000 horsemen, now that the city walls were full of his army, what he wanted now was to attack Chang'an City as soon as possible.

Who knew that less than half an hour after Hu Zhen's army went out, a soldier came to report.

"Report, General Hu Zhen was defeated and captured."

"What."

Li Wei looked at the herald in disbelief, Hu Zhen had twice as many cavalry as Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu could defeat one hundred, then there were nine hundred more left.

But war is not addition and subtraction, after Hu Zhen was stabbed and injured by Lu Bu, he was tied up by Lu Bu's pawns behind.

Seeing this scene, Hu Zhen's soldiers also lost their fighting spirit, and after a round of charging and failing to recapture Hu Zhen, they were also broken up by Lu Bu's army.

"General Qiyu, the last general will ask for battle."

Just when Li Dao was worried about Lu Bu's matter, a general stepped forward and said.

"General Xu is willing to fight?"

"Yes, the Taishi has the grace of knowing me, and the last general should avenge him."

The name of the person who spoke was Xu Rong, and he was the same as Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, and Xu Rong was much stronger than Li Dao and others in terms of fighting.

When the princes' alliance army fought against Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong had defeated Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others.

Although Xu Rong's official position is not as high as Li Dao, he has a high reputation in Dong Zhuojun, and Li Dao was not going to bring him over this time to attack Chang'an, but Xu Rong took the initiative to ask to join, and was willing to obey Li Dao's dispatch, so Li Dao agreed.

"Okay, since General Xu is willing to go, I will transfer 3,000 cavalry to you."

"The last general ordered, just ask General Li to replace all these 3,000 cavalry with archers."

"It's easy."

Soon Xu Rong led three thousand cavalry archers in the direction of Lu Bu.

At this time, Lu Bu had already burned more than ten well cars, and now there were only six well cars left on the battlefield.

"General, there are cavalry coming towards us."

Sensing the movement of Xu Rong's cavalry, Hou Cheng immediately came to report to Lu Bu.

"Good come, Hou Cheng, you lead people to continue to burn down the well, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, you two will follow me to meet the enemy."

Saying that, Lu Bu took the lead in rushing towards Xu Rongjun, followed by Cao Xing and the others.

It's just that what Lu Bu didn't expect was that Xu Rongjun didn't rush directly into Lu Bu's army, but made a turn before he was about to make contact, and then these cavalrymen all opened their bows and arrows, and the arrows came like a torrential rain.

"Damn."

Lu Bu cursed and hurriedly brandished Fang Tian's halberd to resist the attack of the arrows.

Xu Rong also knew that the loss in melee with Lu Bu was too great, so he didn't do it, but chose to use the archers to suppress it.

Lu Bu's goal this time was to burn the siege car, he only needed to stop Lu Bu from doing so, and he didn't need to kill him in front of the battle.

After repeated battles, there were only six or seven hundred people left under Lu Bu's command, and Xu Rong used his advantage in numbers to suppress them from a distance, and the good mobility of the archers did not need to worry about being attacked by Lu Bu.

The arrows of the archers are naturally not as powerful as shooting from the ground, but three thousand arrows fly out at a time, and the target is only a few hundred people, so no matter what, there will be a hit.

It is true that Lu Bujun's soldiers were constantly hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and even Hao Meng's shoulder was hit by an arrow.

"General, the enemy's arrows are too dense, why don't we retreat first, anyway, there are only four wells left."

Just as Lu Bu and Xu Rong were fighting, Hou Cheng led people to burn two well cars.

"Withdraw."

Lu Bu did not hesitate, and directly ordered the withdrawal of troops, and Lu Bu's army began to walk quickly in the direction of the city gate.

It's not that he feels sorry for his soldiers, it's just that Lu Bu really can't do anything in this situation, Xu Rong knows Lu Bu, so the focus of his main attack is near Lu Bu.

Even with Lu Bu's full protection, the red rabbit horse under his crotch was also shot with an arrow, which was the reason why he was unwilling to continue fighting.

Although Xu Rong did not expect to solve Lu Bu in a battle, he would not let him return to the city safely.

When Lü Bu's army retreated, his archers also followed, constantly attacking Lü Bu's army.

So much so that when Lu Bu's army withdrew to the city, there were less than 300 people left, and even Hu Zhen, who had just been captured, was rescued by Xu Rong.

In order to avoid the arrows on the city wall, Xu Rong could only attack outside the range of the opponent, but because of the height of the city wall, the range of the arrows of the guards on the city wall was much greater than that of the troops under the city.

Therefore, Xu Rong could not continue to pursue deeply, otherwise, the army that Lu Bu could bring back to the city might not exceed a hundred.

"General Xu is mighty, and he actually easily repelled Lu Bu."

Li Wei couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Xu Rong not only repelled Lu Bu, but also rescued Hu Zhen.

"General Li has an overreputation, I just have a lot of soldiers."

Xu Rong did not take credit, and exposed this topic lightly.

Li Wei saw that Xu Rong's attitude towards him was cold after all, although he didn't like it in his heart, he didn't say it, but continued to watch the siege battle in front of him.

Because Lü Bu burned most of the wells, Li Dao's army could not successfully suppress the arrows of the city wall, and the soldiers besieging the city suffered heavy casualties.

The siege of the city would have to pay a lot of casualties, and Li Dao didn't care much about this, the problem was that with so many casualties, they still couldn't attack the city wall in order, even if someone successfully climbed the city wall, they would be quickly killed by the soldiers on the city wall.

Of these, there was one person who performed the best.

Not counting Lu Bu and the others who went out of the city and burned down the well, it was this cavalry captain named Xu Huang.

After Dong Zhuo revoked Yang Feng's ruling Jinwu, Xu Huang and other "Han" generals were suppressed, and he even stayed at home for a while.

Later, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yunhua, and all of them were reinstated.

"It seems that it is impossible to take the city wall today, so let's withdraw our troops."

Guo Yan said helplessly to Li Dao.

He didn't expect that Chang'an City, but more than 10,000 soldiers, would be so difficult, you must know that they invested 30,000 soldiers and horses today, but it didn't work at all.

"General Li, I don't think it's okay to strike for a few days, and then attack when the new well is built."

One of the generals suggested to Li Dao.

Li Wei pondered for a moment, and finally agreed to his suggestion.

The biggest problem today is that he didn't pay attention to Lu Bu's sneak attack and lost a large number of wells, otherwise under the suppression of wells, the difficulty of those siegers to climb the city wall would be much reduced.

So he began to order the continuation of the production of Jingqi, and at the same time issued orders to various places, asking those former Dong Zhuo's subordinates to come to Chang'an quickly.

Li Dao naturally didn't do this all to avenge Dong Zhuo, he actually wanted to inherit Dong Zhuo's position and take all of Dong Zhuo's subordinates into his own hands.

It's just that although Li Dao is the highest official under Dong Zhuo, there is also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's eldest son died early, and he also gave birth to several sons after entering Luoyang, but I heard that they have all been killed after Dong Zhuo's death, so the name of Niu Fu's son-in-law plays a big role.

Although this siege was a combination of several forces, Li Dao actually didn't want Niu Fu to come.

He wanted to let himself invade Chang'an and kill Wang Yun, so that he could rightfully inherit Dong Zhuo's inheritance.

However, the setback of the siege on the first day made Li Dao feel very bad.

"Because the Niu Fu army has to go to collect grain and grass, it is estimated that it will take about ten days to arrive, I wonder if General Li can capture Chang'an during this time?"

Guo Yan and Li Dao are friends, and he supports Li Dao, at least on the surface.

"This matter should not be difficult, Chang'an has few soldiers, as long as there are enough siege equipment, it should be able to capture it in ten days."

"There are not many soldiers in Chang'an, but they are all elite soldiers, not to mention the existence of Lu Bu."

As soon as he talked about Lu Bu, Li Dao's left arm ached faintly, but he was also secretly glad that Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, if Lu Bu was also on his side, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to control these troops.

Because compared to Xu Rong, Lu Bu's prestige in the army is even greater.

"If you want to capture Chang'an quickly, it seems that you still have to reuse Xu Rong."

Li Wei lowered his head, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to Guo Yan. Guo Yan nodded very cooperatively, and he also agreed with Li Dao's words, Xu Rong is indeed better at fighting than them.

During the truce of Li Dao, there was also a quarrel in Chang'an City over Li Dao.

Yang Biao and others believed that the emperor should issue an edict to exempt Li Dao from their crimes, let them be dismissed on the spot, and return to their hometown.

But Wang Yun insisted on killing all these rebellious ministers, although he always said that he was sick at home, but Dong Zhuojun had heard a lot about what he had done in various places.

Even if they can't kill all these soldiers, at least these generals can't stay.

It's just that now it's obvious that it's impossible to realize Wang Yun's idea, Li Wei's army far exceeds Chang'an, so why should he condemn others.

In the end, under the persuasion of Yang Biao and others, Wang Yun agreed to pardon these people.

On the same day, this order was sent to Li Dao's military camp.

"The court is willing to pardon our crimes, and we are not guilty of the past?"

In the big tent, the generals under Li Dao immediately became happy after hearing this order, many of these people were willing to follow Li Dao because they were afraid that the imperial court would liquidate them after killing Dong Zhuo, but now that the edict of pardon has come down, what else is there to worry about.

Seeing that the people below seemed to be a little moved, Li Wei couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Everyone, do you really think that the imperial court will let you go so easily?"

Seeing that the opinions of the generals under his command were gradually unified, Li Dao decided to say something, but he didn't expect a knife and pen official who was recording on the side of the big tent to suddenly stand up and say.
