However, it is said that after this Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu were separated, they fled in the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army and the Han army were already mixed together.

Seeing that he was about to run out of the encirclement, when he met Xu Huang, he didn't say a word, this Xu Huang stepped forward with an axe. Zhang Ji didn't have a chance to fight back, so he was cut off the horse.

As soon as the main general died, the Xiliang army was even more chaotic, and Liu Xie passed the word, as long as he put down his arms and surrendered, he would not be killed!

This time to rob the camp, Liu Xie was fully prepared, until the Xiliang army was defeated, 20,000 troops, except for 5,000 troops to pursue Lu Bu, the remaining 15,000, in addition to the battle dead and missing, more than 8,000 people surrendered.

In this battle, Zhang Ji was killed by Xu Huang with an axe, and Zhang Xiu fled and disappeared.

At the end of the battle, Liu Xiechuan gave the order to go, and the Han army quickly packed up its equipment, prepared its military horses, and marched to Chang'an City overnight, and the army was cleaning the battlefield behind and coming slowly.

For such a deployment, some generals said that they did not understand, why not let the surrendered army open the way in front? Xu Huang said: "This practice is a traditional practice of conquest, allowing the surrendered army to open the way in front to reduce the casualties of your own army." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Gongming's words are reasonable, but what I want is the hearts of the people, and now we are short of people, you let the generals open the way in front, can they do their best?" ”

The Han army packed up the weapons and rushed to Chang'an overnight, before dawn, ten miles away from Chang'an City.

The weapons to be packed up, mainly the sunset crossbow, the heavy weapons of the sunset crossbow siege city, it takes time to use and clean up, in the battle of this anti-robbery camp, only one-third of the fire arrows were used, and there were still a lot of "ammunition" including fire arrows and fire meteors.

After setting up camp, Liu Xie was not in a hurry to attack the city, let the soldiers eat and rest, and at the same time do a good job of vigilance to prevent the robbery of the camp.

Taking advantage of the breakfast time, Liu Xie asked Yan'er and Xiao Luozi to accompany him to inspect the camp, while observing the terrain around Chang'an.

During the inspection, Yan'er said: "Your Majesty, we have rushed here for several days, and now Chang'an is in front of me, I am worried about ......"

"Worried about what?" Liu Xie asked.

Yan Er said: "There are still at least 100,000 people in the Xiliang army entrenched in Chang'an City, and we bring about 10,000 troops including the surrender army. ”

"Yan'er," Liu Xie said, "You have also seen the power of the fire arrow, as much as he comes, I will not let him go back!" ”

"But if Li Dao and Guo Yan go out of the city to fight now, how can it be good?" Yan'er asked again.

Liu Xie said: "Don't worry, we just won the battle, morale is strong, and the other party, they lost the battle, morale is bound to be low, so they will not go out of the city for the time being, besides, we are the king of the Han army, the division is famous, and they are rebels, the people are disheartened, they dare not come out to challenge so soon, Jia Xu is a smart person, I believe that he will definitely try his best to persuade Li Wei Guo Yan." ”

Since then, the Han army has set up camp ten miles outside the city, with a total of 11,000 men and horses, which is still far from the Xiliang army in Chang'an City.

Liu Xie asked Huang Zhong's soldiers to set up sunset crossbows behind the camp, the flaming arrows were waiting, and the archers were ready to shoot at any time.

Liu Xie devoted himself to the study of tactics during his four-year reign in Taohui, and he attached great importance to the importance of archers in battle, so he deliberately developed archers.

After going down to the village, Liu Xie asked Zhao Yun and other generals to take turns to go to the city to scold and fight. The so-called scolding war is to go to the enemy's front to insult him and provoke him to fight.

Liu Xie relied on his "artifact" sunset crossbow to dare to challenge so unscrupulously with a one-to-ten ratio of troops.

Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang took turns to take people to the city to scold, only the net Li Dao and Guo Yan would come out to fight, but Li Dao and the two would not come out of the city.

Liu Xie took Yan'er and Xiao Luozi to stay in the tent of the Chinese army's camp, and the four members will be replaced from time to time due to the scolding and fighting, and they will return to the camp to rest. The scolding war lasted from morning to noon.

And Liu Xie has always been very relaxed, and he will either lean or lie down in the camp tent, or he will come out and call a few soldiers to come over and perform sumo wrestling in the open field.

For the little emperor to be so leisurely, all the generals expressed concern, and Zhao Yun asked: "Your Majesty, are we going to go on like this forever?" What if Li Dao and they don't come out all the time? ”

"It's okay," Liu Xie said, "Chang'an is just around the corner." ”

The generals did not believe it. Seeing that in the afternoon, there were tanma to hug it, and there was an army attacking the city in the west of the city. All the generals were shocked, and they didn't know who came here to attack the west gate of Chang'an at this moment.

Liu Xie smiled: "If I guessed correctly, it must be the Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Tengjun." ”

Ma Teng, the word Shoucheng. A few years ago, some rebels rebelled against the Qiang and killed the former assassin of Liangzhou, Geng Contempt, and was pacified by Ma Teng Hansui, and Ma Teng was appointed as the assassin of Liangzhou. (Note: Some of the contents are different from the historical records.) ）

During the period of the first emperor, Han Sui had a very good relationship between the Liangzhou Thorn History and the Tianshui Thorn History, and was appointed to guard the frontier, and in the past few years, more than 100,000 military horses have been developed.

Liu Xie said, summoned Huang Zhong, and said: "Han Sheng, hurry up and gather all your equipment and soldiers, we are going to prepare to attack the city, everyone stop scolding and fighting, and start the whole army to march towards Xuanping Gate in the east of the city!" ”

Suddenly, he was about to march, and Liu Xie demanded that the speed must be fast. The Han army's more than 10,000 men and horses quickly gathered under the Xuanping Gate, and stopped a stone's throw away from the city gate.

Liu Xie said: "Hansheng, the fire meteor is waiting!" A hundred sunset crossbows, all set up! ”

Huang Zhong received the order and began to arrange the equipment soldiers to swing in front of the formation, just like a modern artillery battalion, except that instead of mortars, sunset crossbows were used here.

While deploying the Sunset Crossbow, Huang Zhong shouted, "Direction the city gate, adjust the angle!" ”

Liu Xie commanded again: "Where are the sappers?" ”

Some generals have already arranged sappers over.

Liu Xie was reborn from a modern person to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he had memories of his previous life when he was born, so he had a modern way of thinking, and the deployment of the army was also a modern person's thinking.

The so-called sappers are specialized in building bridges.

There was a moat outside the city gate, and when the city was about to be attacked, sappers would be used to erect the slab bridge over the moat so that other soldiers could quickly rush through.

Liu Xie did not have a ladder to prepare for the siege, as long as he had the Sunset Crossbow, he would not need soldiers to use the ladder to climb the wall, which would reduce a lot of casualties.

"Are you ready?" Liu Xie asked.

Huang Zhong said: "Everything is ready! ”

Liu Xie said: "The city gate in front of the target and the city walls on both sides, the first wave of fire meteors are launched!" ”

At the sound of an order, a hundred fire meteors were ejected, swishing with a whistling sound, flying towards the city wall, and immediately the sound of explosions was endless, and the city walls were blown down one after another in the explosion.
