Chapter 422: Chang'an Rebellion (15)
As soon as the brake warrior appeared, he immediately shot Yang Dingzhong's army with crossbow arrows, and after a rain of arrows, Yang Dingzhong's army screamed almost instantly, including the main general Yang Ding, and several grassroots generals, who were also shot to the ground.

The Chinese army was attacked and lost its command, and Yang Ding's soldiers and horses, who had already suffered heavy losses, were immediately in chaos, Zhang Yan immediately made a decision and took the opportunity to shout: "The thief chief is dead, kill!" ”
The morale of the captive army was like a rainbow, but Yang Ding's soldiers and horses quickly dispersed and fled back in a panic.
The brake crossbow arrows were another wave of fire, and Yang Ding's soldiers and horses broke up faster.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Zhang Yan took the lead, roared loudly, and stabbed several Qianghu soldiers to death in a row, and the captive army took advantage of the situation to advance quickly and kill the rebels.
The rain still did not stop, Zhang Liao stood on the top of the tower of the kitchen city gate six or seven zhang high, overlooking the entire battlefield, and commanded the battle with drums and flags. He did not participate in this battle, but sat in the Chinese army, and it was enough to have Dian Wei generals.
Seeing Zhang Yan quickly lead the army in pursuit, Zhang Liao nodded secretly, Zhang Yan is very good at capturing fighters, this wave of rushing over, Yang Ding's 5,000 soldiers and horses are estimated to be lost by half, and even the entire army may be wiped out. The long obstacles there made it impossible for those Liangzhou people to escape.
Zhang Liao's gaze swept to Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's side again, those two places were still facing each other, completely belonging to the thunder and rain, and Yang Ding's side can be described as a world of difference, sure enough, hatred makes people lose their minds.
"Ling Zhao assists Zhang Yan in flanking the enemy!"
Seeing that Yang Ding was defeated to such a point, and no one came to help, Zhang Liao immediately knew that the three soldiers and horses in the city were attacking at this time, and there was no other ambush.
At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, and Zhang Liao saw tens of thousands of iron horsemen returning from the east and west of the city from afar on the city tower.
He looked calm, just watching Zhao Zhao and Zhang Yan kill Yang Ding's last rout.
As for the tens of thousands of elite cavalry newly arrived by Li Dao and Guo Yan, when they arrive in this land, they will sooner or later become infantry and become infantry, so they will have nothing to fear.
Li Dao and Guo Yan led the cavalry back to the city, but the two returned in vain, both of them held back their bellies, and when they arrived in the city, they heard the observation soldiers report on the battle situation in the city, and they were even more furious.
The two hurriedly led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Yang Ding's place, wanting to help Yang Ding, but when they arrived on the north street of the city, tens of thousands of cavalry had to get off their horses in the face of many long obstacles.
Seeing that most of Yang Ding's 5,000 soldiers and horses were killed, and the rest were also in danger, Li Dao and Guo Yan ordered 10,000 soldiers to march on foot and quickly cross the obstacle area to support the battlefield, and ordered 20,000 soldiers to quickly clear the obstacles on the street to open the way for cavalry warfare.
The obstacle is more than ten zhang wide and one mile long, with 10,000 soldiers in front as cover, and 20,000 soldiers in the back to clear the obstacles, it is only half a day's work.
When Li Dao and Guo Yan's forward 10,000 soldiers and horses crossed the obstacle area violently, Yang Ding's 5,000 soldiers and horses had been completely damaged, Zhang Yan and Zhao took advantage of the last distance of the 10,000 Liangzhou people in the obstacle area, and suddenly launched a bow and arrow attack.
But Zhang Liao didn't know when he sent Guo Cheng's sharpshooter battalion over.
After a rain of arrows, there was immediately another rain of arrows, five waves in a row, thousands of Liangzhou people lost thousands of people, and the injured did not care, this time the ten thousand Liangzhou people were stunned, and the turbulent momentum was greatly setback, and they no longer dared to stride forward, so they could only carefully move forward by cover.
When Li Dao and Guo Yan saw this scene, they couldn't help but breathe fire and neigh, these soldiers and horses are their most elite cavalry, and they are also good at cavalry warfare, training is not easy, and it is a great loss to die, but now thousands of people have died in such a nest, which really makes their hearts bleed.
Under the heartache, Li Dao and Guo Yan could only order the troops to be collected, preparing to advance with cavalry after clearing the obstacles behind. At present, the north of the city is like a quagmire, and Zhang Liao has the initiative, which is really unfavorable to them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the remaining eight or nine thousand Liangzhou people retreated, Zhang Yanhe immediately led the troops to follow up and pursue, and those Liangzhou people who received arrow wounds in front of them could not move, but in a moment, they were beheaded by the soldiers who besieged them, and the casualties of the Liangzhou people suddenly expanded.
Li Dao and Guo Yan were extremely angry and hateful in their hearts, after they withdrew their troops, they couldn't wait for the soldiers to clear the obstacles, and immediately sent soldiers and horses to attack from the two main streets of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, this time there were Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses in front of the cover, they passed through the obstacle area smoothly, and then immediately launched a fierce attack.
But the soldiers and horses arranged by Zhang Liao in these two places are all elite, Dian Wei and Xu Huang, Dian Wei's Tiger Battalion is fierce and fierce, and Xu Huang's selection army is neatly arrayed, not afraid of those Liangzhou people at all.
The battle lasted for nearly two hours, during which Zhang Liao stood on the city tower to observe the battle situation, and sent Han Ke, Mu Han and other generals who guarded the city gate several times to lead troops to support.
Until dusk, the obstacles on the side of Li Dao and Guo Yan were only half cleared, and the sky was about to get dark, so the two sides stopped their troops, Zhang Liao ordered the combat soldiers to rest, and the soldiers in the rear supported the pot and dug the pot, and ordered the personal guards of the generals of various departments to gather and quickly treat the wounded soldiers.
On the one hand, it is to allow the injured generals to receive timely treatment so as not to cause losses and regrets, on the other hand, these guards are also medical emergency soldiers, responsible for treating the wounded after the war.
Because it was a rainy day, the night was dark and early, and the soldiers had dinner, leaving some soldiers on guard, and the rest rested quickly.
On the other hand, Li Wei and Guo Yan suffered heavy losses in their soldiers and horses today, and they were angry and unwilling, and the two were very dissatisfied with Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's slackness today, and reprimanded them.
The two ordered the soldiers to clear the obstacles overnight, and pulled many people in the south of the city who could not escape, to clear several other obstacles, vowing to clear the road before dawn and launch a fierce attack to avenge the great revenge!
After a while, the people of Liangzhou are still cleaning, although there are many obstacles, but tens of thousands of people have cleared them, the speed is very fast, most of them have been cleared, and it is enough to make the road accessible overnight.
In the end, the people of Liangzhou drove the people to clean up, and they waited behind the people, eyeing Zhang Liao's sudden attack.
But the entire north of the city was silent, completely different from the fierce fighting in the daytime, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses seemed to be resting.
After Li Dao and Guo Yan heard the soldiers' report on the situation, they were also puzzled, it is said that Zhang Liao should not let go of this opportunity, you know, they have already arranged archers in the formation, as long as Zhang Liao launches a surprise attack, it will inevitably make Zhang Liao suffer a big loss!
But until the end of the day, Zhang Liao did not sneak attack, but the people of Liangzhou still did not dare to slack off, but carefully guarded.
However, Zhang Liao at this time was also not in the north of the city, he arrived in the south of the city, Changle Palace.
