Chapter 20 The Wei family enters the game
"Newspaper~"
In the afternoon, Li Dao was looking at the siege equipment that was gradually assembled outside the city, when suddenly there was an anxious sound, and he saw a soldier covered in dust and dust, and with blood stains, crawling from under the city tower and killing him, rolling to Li Dao's side, and hissing: "Lord, the big thing is not good!" ”
"Li Yi, why are you here!?" Seeing the person coming, Li Dao was taken aback, wasn't this person his general Li Yi who stayed in Chang'an?
"Lord, Chang'an...... Lost! Li Yi lay on the ground and said hysterically.
"What did you say!?" Although he already had a premonition at the moment he saw Li Wei, when he heard what Li Wei said with his own ears, Li Wei still didn't stand firm and almost fell to the ground, and the soldiers on both sides hurriedly helped Li Wei, and everyone had an indescribable panic on their faces.
Chang'an, but Li Dao's base camp, not only Li Dao is full of men in Chang'an, but also the families of many soldiers in the army have also settled in Chang'an.
Li Wei suddenly broke away from everyone and grabbed Li Yan's neckline, he was in a hurry at the moment, his strength increased dramatically, Li Qi, who was more than 100 pounds, was still wearing armor, and he was actually picked up by him, his eyes widened angrily, and he looked at Li Qi and roared: "There are 8,000 defenders left in Chang'an, and there are more advantages to fortify the city, how can it be broken!?" ”
"It's the Wei family, Hedong Wei Jiawei led the Hedong disciples to suddenly kill and attack the city!" Li Yi hurriedly said: "That guard has a lot of soldiers, there are 30,000 people!" ”
"So Chang'an was broken!?" Li Wei roared, even if there are 30,000, Li Yi's 8,000 defenders have the advantage of fortifying the city, then the wall of Chang'an City is nearly five zhang high, and no matter how many soldiers and horses can conquer it in such a short time, right?
"No, although there are many soldiers in that guard, it was detected early by our army's sentinels, and the last general closed the city gate in time, and the guard did not succeed!" Li bowed.
Li Dao: "...... Where's my knife? ”
Looking at Li Wei's murderous eyes, Li Yi hurriedly said: "At this moment, a Shu army did not know where to kill, these Shu troops are not many, but three thousand people, but they are extremely brave, and there are five hundred soldiers wearing rattan armor, they can be invulnerable, our army and Wei Qi fought for three days and three nights, already exhausted, I don't want the Shu army to suddenly kill, so that our army was caught off guard, and was broken through the Deyang Gate, the leader of the generals is two red-faced men, both make big swords, when they are really brave, our army is under the enemy, the city was captured, Only a few soldiers escaped with their lives, and now Chang'an, I don't know who is in the hands! ”
"General, sword!" A personal guard sent Li Dao's knife over at this time.
"Lord, this is not a crime of war, the abdomen is the enemy, and the Shu army is extremely strong, and the last general has done his best!" Seeing this, Li Yan's face turned pale, and he begged: "The lord spares his life!" ”
"The city can't be defended, what's the use of keeping you!?" Li Wei didn't talk nonsense, he slashed with a knife, and in Li Wei's frightened gaze, he cut off his head with a knife.
"Ye Zhao!" After killing Li Yan, Li Wei suddenly turned his head, looked at the Shu army that was still arranging on the opposite side, squeezed the knife in his hand, and said: "If you dare to touch my clan, I swear to destroy your nine clans!" ”
"General, what now?" Several generals rushed up and looked at Li Dao anxiously, Chang'an was broken, not only Li Dao's clansmen were there, but the families of many soldiers in the army were there.
Li Wei turned around, and after only such a short while, the commotion had begun to spread irrepressibly in the army, and he hated Li Yi even more in his heart.
Doesn't it take any time to speak?
"Withdraw the army at this time, then Ye Zhao will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, Li Ying, Li Li!" Li Dao turned his head and looked at the generals.
He couldn't ignore Chang'an, but Li Dao was still sober-minded, and knew that once he gave up Yixian at this time, Ye Zhao would definitely take the opportunity to pursue!
"The last general!" Li Ying and Li Li came out of the queue and bowed down.
"The two of you immediately order 10,000 soldiers and horses to return to Chang'an, and you must recapture Chang'an, there must be no mistakes!" Li Dao said in a deep voice.
"Whoa!" The two agreed, and went to order troops to prepare for reinforcements.
"Inform Guo Yan and Duan Xuan to lead the army to help, only by repelling Ye Zhao's main force, we will not be so passive!" Li Wei's voice was a little hoarse, Chang'an was broken, which had already made him a little confused, and the rear was unstable, that is, he repelled the Shu army that had entered Chang'an, and the sudden entry of the Hedong Wei clan was also impossible to ignore.
……
"Hedong Wei even intervened?" In Ye Zhao's army, not long after Li Dao received the news, Ye Zhao also received the news from Chang'an.
Although Guan Yu and Wei Yan were able to successfully break through Chang'an, this was a five-five chance, but to Ye Zhao's surprise, Wei Qi also intervened in this matter.
In Luoyang since He Jin's death, Wei Qi has disappeared, over the years, Ye Zhao has sat in Shu and watched the world, and there is nothing to do with the Wei family, when the drama Zhicai analyzed the situation in the world, he did not count the Wei family among the princes, like Ye Zhao, the Wei family was also dormant for ten years before suddenly attacking, as soon as he made a move, he pointed directly at Chang'an, I have to say that Wei Qi's vision and strategy are quite accurate.
Hedong is rich, if the Wei family occupies the fertile soil of Guanzhong again, in the future, there will be a share of the Wei family, if Ye Zhao does not send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time, Wei Qi is really likely to succeed, and when the time comes, Wei Qi will replace Li Dao and Guo Yan and become one of the new five tyrants.
The Wei family in Hedong will also become a top family comparable to the Yuan family, after all, although the Wei family is not as strong as the Western Han Dynasty, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the heritage is still not to be underestimated.
"My lord." Xu Rong frowned and said: "If the Wei family sends troops, they should go to Hongnong at this moment, why do they directly attack Jingzhao?" ”
"It's easy!" Ye Zhao asked the messenger sent by Guan Yu to go down to rest, looked at Xu Rong and said: "I have reached an agreement with someone, this time it is not only the Wei family who covets the fertile soil in Guanzhong, this time Wei is afraid that Lu Bu has been invited, otherwise no matter how big the Wei family is, no matter how rich Hedong is, it is not easy to raise 30,000 soldiers, and in one breath, you can't swallow this pass!" ”
"Why not Cao Cao?" Ji Lingqi said.
As one of the three major princes of the Central Plains today, Cao Cao also bordered Guanzhong since welcoming the Son of Heaven.
"If I were Cao Cao, I would never get involved in Guanzhong at this time!" Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "Cao Cao's governance from Xuzhou in the east to Luoyang in the west is counted as his belonging, if he extends his hand to Guanzhong again, his governance will run through the north and south, and will be sandwiched between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the defense line will also be extended, as well as Nanyang Lu Bu, and now he has to add a Hedong Wei family, which is equivalent to putting himself in an embattled situation, he will not do such an unwise act!" ”
"The lord is wise!" When Xu Rong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but admire.
"Don't think so far, for the sake of today, it is to settle the two Li Guo first, I am afraid that in this battle, not only the Wei family and Lu Bu will participate in the war!" Ye Zhao shook his head and looked at the siege equipment that was gradually forming in front of him.
"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they bowed solemnly, no longer paid attention to these things, and began to concentrate on adjusting the various departments and preparing to attack the city.
Another hour later, in the suppressed waiting of the Xiliang Army at the head of the city, the sky-bombing car, stepping on the rooftop, and climbing the ladder have assembled Wancheng, and at the same time, a three-stone strong crossbow has also been aimed at the city tower under the operation of the crossbowman, this time it is not a test, but a real actual battle.
"Boom car, calibration!" Xu Rong was in charge, and with Xu Rong's order, ten giant catapults began to make the final calibration, the dense wooden gears turned, and all the stone bullets were loaded and ready to go.
"Put!" With Xu Rong's order, ten sky-bombing cars roared at the same time, and ten special stone bullets the size of a grinding disc burst out of the air.
On the city wall, Li Dao didn't have too many expressions, although the big stone bullet was a little scary, but during the siege war, it was common for siege vehicles to bombard the city wall, and the other party's catapults were only ten, and he had seen the scene of thirty or fifty catapults attacking the city, so he didn't care.
"Boom Boom Boom~"
The continuous stone bullets continued to bombard the aisle of the city wall, at this moment, Li Ru's complexion finally changed, each of these stone bullets is a special stone bullet, and the accuracy is extremely high, all fell on the aisle, by the huge impact of the landing, the gravel that was stuck on the stone bomb flew out, but at this moment, there were pieces of soldiers fell under the rubble, and there was a huge vacancy in the city wall.
Li Wei only now finally believed Hu Feng's words, the power of the new catapult of the Shu army is indeed terrifying!
Just this round of bombardment made the morale of the defenders almost collapse, and the attack on the opposite side had just begun, and the bombardment car began to reload stone shells again, but the stone bullets were relatively slow to load, and there would be no second round in a short time.
"Where's our stone cart!?" Li Dao raised his knife and roared frantically.
Soon, a counterattack began on the city wall, but the stone bullets fired were only about one hundred and fifty paces at most, far from the distance of the sky-bombing car, and a general said bitterly: "Lord, our stone cart can't hit the enemy at all." ”
Li Dao's face was bitter, he knew that this was the case, he should have listened to Hu Feng's words, he couldn't let the other party have a chance to assemble these equipment, and now he can only be beaten, and he doesn't even have the ability to fight back, rather than this, it is better to get out of the city early, although there is also a risk of defeat, but it is better than this situation.
"Xiliang Tie rode out of the city and destroyed those catapults for me!" Li Ru couldn't think about it at the moment, so he could only order the most elite Xiliang Iron Horse to ride out of the city, hoping to destroy those catapults with the help of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"Boom~"
The gate of Yixian County suddenly opened, and the black-pressed Xiliang Iron Rider was like a torrent in the direction of the catapult.
"It's too late!" Ye Zhao shook his head disdainfully when he saw this, if he hadn't been ready to complete it, Xiliang Tieqi would have been able to make a lot of trouble for him, but at this moment it was ready, Xiliang Tieqi had killed it at this moment, but it was just a waste of life.
