Chapter 421: Chang'an Rebellion (14)

On the second day of Li Dao and Guo Yan's control of the Son of Heaven, on the tenth day of the second month, the imperial court once again granted amnesty to the world, still only forgiving Zhang Liao, and even Lu Bu did not ask, obviously Li Dao, Guo Yan and others did not have much intention of avenging Dong Zhuo, and avenging Dong Zhuo was just an excuse for them to attack Chang'an.

Subsequently, the imperial court worshiped Li Wei as the general of Yangwu, Guo Yan as the general of Yanglie, and the captains such as Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Yang Ding were all promoted to Zhonglang generals.

Then, Li Dao and Guo Yan received Wang Yun and Huang Wan, the lieutenant of the party division, to prison, and at the suggestion of Jia Xu, they urgently summoned Wang Hong, who was on the right to help the wind, to return to Chang'an with the edict of the Son of Heaven, in case the right wind was changed, the left Feng Yi had been controlled by Zhang Liao, and they were helpless for the time being, but the right wind was the back road for them to retreat to Liangzhou in case of failure, which was more important than the left Feng Yi, and it was necessary to ensure that it was unblocked.

After initially controlling the imperial court, on the third day, Li Dao and Guo Yan immediately reorganized the army and sent troops to the north, they would not forget that there was a Zhang Liao in the north of Chang'an City, which was on the side of the couch.

But with this whole army, they were shocked to find that more than 100,000 Liangzhou people, but in two or three days, there were more than 10,000 less, all of them were folded in the north of the city, and they were either killed by Zhang Liao or absorbed by Xu Rong.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were furious, leaving Jia Xu and 20,000 soldiers to guard Weiyang Palace, and then raised an army of 60,000 troops, divided into five routes, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Yang Ding three road infantry marched to the north of the city from the streets of Chang'an City, and Li Dao and Guo Bi two elite cavalry directly outflanked the north of the city from both sides outside the city.

However, in the past three days, Zhang Liao has evacuated the people in the north of the city.

Guanzhong withered, originally the entire Jingzhao Yin ten counties were only 280,000 people, plus the people who migrated from Luoyang, but 500,000 people, Chang'an had 780,000, and many died in the rebellion of Liangzhou people, the north of the city was only more than 40,000 in total, three days of effort was enough to evacuate, and there were Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Du Yi this great talent, some of the troubles encountered were quickly solved by them, before the outbreak of the war, finally made more than 40,000 people and their families have crossed the Weishui, into the territory of Wulingyuan and Zuo Fengyi.

Zhang Liao didn't leave, he had no worries, he wanted to start a big battle with Li Dao and Guo Yan!

The purpose of this great battle is not to fight for anything, that is, to hit the arrogance of Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Liangzhou people, this is not a senseless attrition, but to make them never dare to attack themselves easily after this battle, so as to leave themselves with space for rapid development in the northern part of Guanzhong.

Of course, the premise is to win.

On February 11, Zhang Liao, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Liangzhou people completely broke out a big battle in Chang'an City!

Unlike Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Liao had already prepared for this big battle, and it was what he was going to fight, the battlefield he chose, otherwise he would withdraw from Chang'an City, and the battlefield would be opened in Zuo Fengyi or other places.

So in this big battle, Zhang Liao seems to be preparing to attack, but to a certain extent, he takes the initiative and controls the rhythm.

After Xu Huang incorporated Yang Feng's old department, Xu Rong collected 5,000 Liangzhou soldiers, plus the thousands of soldiers and horses brought by Wu Kuang's defection, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses in Chang'an reached nearly 30,000, which was one to two with Li Dao and Guo Yan's combatable soldiers.

However, Zhang Liao boldly divided the 30,000 soldiers and horses into two roads, 10,000 all the way, all of which were cavalry, led by Zhao Yun and Xu Rong respectively, staying outside Chang'an City, guarding according to Weishui, and at the same time echoing with the defenders led by Han Hao in Zuo Fengyi, preventing Li Dao and Guo Yan from attacking Zuo Fengyi or cutting off Zhang Liao's back road.

However, although Zhao Yun and Xu Rong were brave, they were not enough to resist tens of thousands of Liangzhou iron horses, so Zhang Liao made a layout outside Chang'an City, outside Chang'an City, between two or three miles from the north city wall to Weishui, on the avenue, there were gaps in the square, and there were sundries everywhere, trees, broken cars, stones, and countless pits. These traps were dug by Li Ru and Tian Yi to mobilize Zuo Fengyi and the Qingzhuang of Wulingyuan to dig during these three days, during which the Maoling Ma clan also made efforts, sent thousands of clan tribes, and mobilized the help of the young Zhuang in the township.

Therefore, between the north of Chang'an City and Weishui, it is densely covered with pits, the size of the bowl mouth, the foot is a little deep, the spring rain falls from the sky, the road is muddy and slippery, it is easy to dig the pit but the road is difficult, these traps make Li Dao and Guo Yan, who took the cavalry out of the city to outflank them, look away, and turn into the end of the world.

The two were angry and hateful, and wanted to make a detour to attack Zuo Fengyi, cutting off Zhang Liao's back road, but the iron cavalry rushed to Weishui, along the Weishui for dozens of miles, but there was no way to cross, the pontoon bridge above Weishui had already been withdrawn, and even the original several bridges were also controlled, the front of the bridge was full of horse pits, and behind the bridge was the defense of soldiers and horses, and Zhao Yun and Xu Rong led the cavalry to respond at any time, which was difficult to break for a while, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were worried about the change in Chang'an, so they could only return with tens of thousands of iron horsemen.

Zhang Liao's other line of soldiers and horses has 20,000, mainly foot soldiers, including tigers, eagles, Xuanfeng, captives, halberds, and brakes, led by Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, and Zhaozhao, as well as Wu Kuang, Han Qi, Mu Han, Wei Yuanjin, Guo Cheng and other generals cooperated, and opened the battlefield in Chang'an City.

The four city gates in the northwest of Chang'an, the drawbridge was pulled up, still guarded by Wu Kuang, Han Ke, Mu Han, Wei Yuanjin, Guo Cheng and other generals, each city tower of 800 people, with the strong defense of Chang'an City, the people of Liangzhou just want to attack from the outside, there is no month, it is difficult to attack at all, he is not Lu Bu, the control of his subordinates is not effective, resulting in rebellion and the city is broken.

The remaining more than 16,000 soldiers are all arranged in the east and west of the city and between the Mingguang Palace, several streets in the city, full of debris, the same trees, beds, broken cars and stones, etc., full of roads, enough miles, this is Zhang Liao let Xun Yu and others evacuate the people by the way, it does not cost much manpower, there are these sundries as obstacles, enough to make the cavalry of the Liangzhou people difficult to cross, can only choose to fight.

During the period when Li Dao and Guo Yan went out of the city, the battle in the city broke out first, but Zhonglang released Fan Chou obviously, and he marched north along the streets and alleys around Guigong along the way, although there were nearly 10,000 people, but the attack was not active, but only confronted Xu Huang's 5,000 Xuan Feng army across the long obstacles.

Zhonglang sent Zhang Ji along the way to the north of the North Que Jiadi, and the nearly 10,000 people under him were also negative, especially after Zhang Ji saw that he was facing the fierce god Dian Wei, he was even more negative.

Before the attack on Chang'an, 100,000 Liangzhou people were in a desperate situation and hated the same enemy, but after the capture of Chang'an, the 100,000 Liangzhou people were not so concentric, especially when everyone was originally a captain, but now Li Dao and Guo Yan are two generals and control the power, and only give them a few lieutenants to be named Zhonglang General, faintly excluded, how can they not be dissatisfied in their hearts, but Li Dao and Guo Yan have collected the most soldiers and horses, and the original soldiers and horses are also the elite of the elite, they can only be attached.

But they inevitably had careful thoughts, especially to preserve their strength, they were different from Li Dao and Guo Yan, and they didn't have much hatred with Zhang Liao, so they didn't want to consume their strength at this time.

The three Liangzhou soldiers in Chang'an City, only Zhonglang General Yang Ding had the least number of soldiers and horses, but there were only 5,000 people, but the offensive of the soldiers and horses along this road was the strongest, Yang Ding hated Zhang Liao to the core, and he had the opportunity at this time, how could he let it go. Under his strong order, the five thousand Liangzhou people under his command were almost all fearless of death, crossed the obstacles, and launched the most fierce attack on Zhang Liao's military formation.

The soldiers and horses that met Yang Ding on this way were the broken army led by Zhang Yan, and the two engaged in battle on Zhangtai Street between Mingguang Palace and Beigong.

The Liangzhou soldiers led by Yang Ding were fierce, but the broken army commanded by Zhang Yan was not bad at all.

Zhang Yan started from scratch when he was a teenager, and later became the leader of the million-dollar Black Mountain Army, naturally he will not be incapable, he is the same as Zhao Yun, he is a native of Changshan, although he is not as famous as Zhao Yun, but he is also plagiarized, agile, and is called Feiyan by the Black Mountain Army, and his force is also first-class, although not as good as Zhao Yun, but not worse than Xu Huang.

Under the urging of Yang Ding, the fierceness of the Liangzhou soldiers was vividly expressed, the bow and arrow were matched with spears, and the attack was fierce, and the same was true for the broken army, but compared to the Liangzhou soldiers, the formation was tight, the spearmen were in front, the archers were in the back, and the auxiliary sword and shield soldiers were replaced by door panels if the shield was insufficient.

Zhang Yan had commanded hundreds of thousands of people, traveling back and forth to Shanlin counties and counties, and his combat experience was far above that of other generals under Zhang Liao.

The battle lasted for nearly half an hour, Yang Ding's Liangzhou soldiers suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Yan's broken army also suffered losses, but it was much better than the Liangzhou soldiers.

If the battle goes on like this, it will take an hour to determine the victory or defeat, but Zhang Liao in the back can't wait, he knows that after Li Dao and Guo Yan's elite cannot attack outside Chang'an City, they will inevitably return to the city, and then it will be a real big battle.

Looking at Yang Ding's menacing appearance, Zhang Liao sneered, and as his drum beat changed, a soldier and horse suddenly appeared on the wall of the North Palace next to him, which was the brake led by Shi A.
