Chapter 423: Chang'an Chaos (16)

Right Fufeng, Huaili County, in the county government, Wang Hong's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Next to him was Zuo Feng Yi Song Yi, his face was depressed, and he sighed.

After Wang Yun took power, he appointed the clansman Wang Hong as the right Fufeng, and the in-law Changshi Song Yi as the left Feng Yi, in order to control the land of Sanfu, but unexpectedly, a few days after Song Yi arrived, he was taken away by Zhang Liao Zuo Feng Yi, and he had no choice but to return, Wang Yun reprimanded him, and ordered him to come to the right to help Wang Hong.

After Li Dao and Guo Yan raised troops to besiege them, Wang Yun summoned Wang Hong, and Wang Hong once led his troops to attack Li Dao and Guo Yan, but was defeated and had to retreat to Huaili.

Under the flickering lamp and candle, Wang Hong looked at Song Yi: "Brother Song, now that Situ has fallen into the hands of thieves in Liangzhou, and the court has summoned me to Chang'an, it must be the intention of the people of Liangzhou. ”

Song Yi said: "I can only apply for Chang'an." ”

Wang Hong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Guo Yan and Li Wei have not harmed Situ because the two of us are leading the troops outside, and I will be recruited today, I am afraid that the whole clan will be killed tomorrow, how can I go to Chang'an?" ”

Song Yi stroked his beard and said: "Although it is unpredictable, but the edict of the Son of Heaven, how can it be violated?" How can the two of us be blamed for this great rebellion, we will inevitably be blamed by Situ! ”

When Wang Hong heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he couldn't help but get up and wander around for a long time before he sighed: "Okay, just follow what you said and go back to Chang'an." ”

……

At midnight, the night sky was still dark, still raining cold, and the February night was still a little biting cold.

Changle Palace, located in the southeast of Chang'an City, and Weiyang Palace in the southwest are separated by Zhangtai Street, Arsenal and Shangguanli, Shangguanli is similar to Beique Jiadi, the former Han Dynasty was the residence of the clan and the minister, and now it is still the place where the nobles live.

Changle Palace was the residence of the Queen Mother in the former Han Dynasty, destroyed in the war during Wang Mang's rebellion, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he mobilized the people to repair the Weiyang Palace, but did not repair the Changle Palace, and the Changle Palace was still in ruins.

After Li Dao and Guo Yan invaded Chang'an, in addition to the arsenal and Weiyang Palace, they also used Changle Palace as a garrison place, and war horses were raised in it.

At this time, most of the Liangzhou soldiers were clearing obstacles in the city and preventing Zhang Liao's raid, and the remaining 20,000 were guarding the Weiyang Palace to protect the Son of Heaven, but the Changle Palace was empty, only 3,000 soldiers guarded, and most of them were in a deep sleep, and the night of running and fighting hard made these Liangzhou people tired.

In the dark night, a group of people and horses quietly appeared in this Changle Palace, and at the same time, other soldiers and horses also appeared near the Changle Palace, all of them were black-robed, almost invisible in the night.

This army is naturally Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses, after his daytime battle, immediately ordered the soldiers to rest, to Yin, all the soldiers were called, hurriedly after eating, leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the north of the city, make movements, attract the enemy's attention, and be able to evacuate from the city gate at any time, the remaining 10,000 people are under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Zhang Yan, Xu Huang, from the previous several alleys that have been arranged straight into the south of the city.

Some of these alleys are in the middle of the lane, and some are in the North Palace or the North Que Jiadi, which were also blocked at the beginning, but they seem to be tightly blocked, but in fact, the south end is blocked some, which is easy to clean up, and for Zhang Liao, there is no need to fight with cavalry like Li Dao Guo Yan, there is no need to clean up on a large scale, and it is still very easy for the infantry to pass through.

Zhang Liao secretly crossed the south of the city, and the target was not the Weiyang Palace, which was the most heavily guarded by the Liangzhou people, but the war horses in the Changle Palace!

He has long coveted the tens of thousands of war horses of the Liangzhou people, and winning these war horses is enough to make his cavalry battalion and heavy cavalry develop rapidly, and there is another point, as long as these war horses are captured, the advantages of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others will be greatly lost, and without cavalry, their threat to themselves is minimal.

As for the situation in Changle Palace, he was more familiar with the situation close to the arsenal and Zhang Liao's original Zhijinwu Mansion, and there were shadows in it to inquire about the news before, and even Zuo Ci had already sent it over, so he was already very familiar with the situation there.

Under the cover of 5,000 soldiers and horses in the north of the city, 10,000 soldiers and horses divided into several roads and smoothly passed through the alleys, the reason why it was so smooth was due to the fact that the people of Liangzhou fought hard during the day and were tired and asleep at night, on the other hand, the people of Liangzhou did not expect that Zhang Liao would risk taking the soldiers and horses deep into the tiger's den and dare to come to the south of the city.

You must know that there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Weiyang Palace in the south of the city alone, if Zhang Liao really attacks the Weiyang Palace, 20,000 soldiers and horses are enough to defend the palace gate, plus the soldiers and horses stationed in the arsenal, and the tens of thousands of Liangzhou people who are opening the road will also turn back, and attack back and forth, even if Zhang Liao brings 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, it will only be wiped out.

So whether it was Li Dao or Guo Yan, they didn't expect Zhang Liao to dare to bring troops to the south of the city.

And Zhang Liao dared to take this risk, not completely stunned, one is that he is surprised, and the other is that he has a shadow to inquire about the news everywhere, and he is basically clear about the distribution of the enemy's troops, and the third is that he has served as the captain of Zhijinwu and Si Li, and he is also very familiar with the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. The four of them raided in black, and the cold rain and dark night were also the best cover.

After Zhang Liao crossed the alley and arrived in the south of the city, he immediately divided his troops again, Shi A took the brake, and Zuo Ci went to Changle Palace first, Zhang Liao personally led three thousand soldiers and horses to respond, they had three tasks, assassinate the guards, set fires, beat drums, and drive tens of thousands of war horses to rush out of the dilapidated Changle Palace, and then rush out of Chang'an.

Xu Huang and Zhang Yan took 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the nearest Bacheng Gate, Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate and Covering Gate of Changle Palace, and put down the drawbridge, although Chang'an City was well defended, but it was mainly external, and it was easy to attack internally, not to mention that there were not many soldiers stationed in Liangzhou to guard the gate, and the scale of 5,000 people was enough to capture the city gate with the fastest speed.

Dian Wei led 2,000 elite tiger warriors to attack the important place of Weiyang Palace, which gave the people of Liangzhou the illusion and concentrated their forces in the area of Weiyang Palace, creating opportunities for tens of thousands of war horses to go out of the city.

Shi A and Zuo Ci's assassination was still smooth, plus the brake soldiers, the guards in the Changle Palace died silently in their sleep, and the guards also died a lot.

Then, Zhang Liao immediately led his troops to the place where the war horses were, and the tens of thousands of war horses were not together, but divided into several pieces.

Zhang Liao immediately ordered the soldiers to divide into several units, set fire to the makeshift stables, and then beat the drums violently, causing the horses to panic. Among the brake fighters were proficient in miraculous skills, and Zuo Ci also knew some, and they guided the panicked war horses towards several gates of Changle Palace, while Zhang Liao led his troops behind him to drive away with torch shouts.

There are several palace gates in Changle Palace, all of which are dilapidated, some do not even have gatehouses, and there are several gaps in the rest of the palace walls, and tens of thousands of war horses want to rush out, but it is only a moment's effort.

Almost at the same time, Xu Huang and Zhang Yan launched an attack on the Chang'an City Gate, while Dian Wei led the Tiger Warriors in the area of Shangguanli, also beating drums loudly and shouting at the troops, pretending to attack Weiyang Palace.
