Chapter 2248: Opening the City Gate (Page 1/1)

This victory also made Zhao Yun sweep away the previous gloomy mood, but he didn't intend to let the enemy army easily enter the range of Chengdu City like this.

In the process of the next march, Gao Ding and others once again experienced the shameless behavior of the flying cavalry on the battlefield, relying on the advantage of the cavalry's strong mobility ability, and constantly inflicting damage on the battlefield.

The cavalry sent to pursue often suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, Gao Ding's attack on these cavalry was only to drive away, and not to send cavalry to pursue, which further fueled the arrogance of the flying cavalry.

Originally, there was still a day's journey, but under the obstruction of the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, they came to the outside of Chengdu in the afternoon of the second day.

This is the first time that many soldiers in the southern army have seen Chengdu City, the majestic Chengdu City, so that many soldiers in the army gasped, at this time outside the city was originally filled in the moat when the Chang'an army attacked, has been cleaned up for the most part, want to break through such a city, so that many soldiers in the army are a little worried in their hearts.

The army stopped at a distance of six hundred steps from the city wall, which was also the three of them following Liu Bei's advice, otherwise, according to the previous combat experience, if it was two arrows away from the city wall, the army would definitely suffer losses, and it was about to fight with the army under the account of the King of Jin, which also made the three of them aware of the horror of the army of the King of Jin, and the attack distance of the equipment could reach five hundred steps, which was so incredible, in the past, it was unimaginable, but this situation was real.

Gao Ding suddenly felt that he could no longer keep up with the current war, the horseshoe and stirrup made the strength of the cavalry have been rapidly improved, and the range of the equipment can reach 500 steps.

And now, the complacent mood made Gao Ding quietly put away, and stepped forward to break through such a city, Gao Ding naturally would not be so stupid, especially after learning that the enemy army had sharp weapons, he couldn't easily step forward.

The arrival of nearly 50,000 troops, caused a lot of turmoil in the city of Chengdu, in recent years, the war in Yizhou continues, the people have been hurt greatly, Yizhou is rich, but the rice grain in the hands of the people is not much, such as when the war occurs in the city, the people will not go out of the city gate, which makes it more difficult for the people to make a living, and can only rely on the surplus food at home to survive.

In such a situation, in order to survive, many people can only sell their fields to rich people, and the powerful families will become stronger and stronger, and the common people will become more and more impoverished, which is also the status quo under the rule of other princes.

Where wars are frequent, it is difficult to achieve greater prosperity, and after wars, people need time to recuperate.

At this time, there are more than 30,000 soldiers in the city of Chengdu, the arrival of the enemy, the city gate is closed, the defenders are in strict formation, through the look of the defenders, you can see that they do not have too much fear, in the frontal battlefield and in the process of attacking the city, the Chang'an army will not be afraid, not to mention the face of the enemy attacking the city, they have no reason to be afraid, as long as the enemy dares to attack the city, even close to the city is extremely difficult.

Lu Bu, dressed in military uniform, appeared in the army, and 10,000 soldiers who received orders were waiting for the commander's order in the army.

"The army of the southern counties dares to be so presumptuous in front of this king, and wants to attack Chengdu City, but this king wants to see what the enemy army is capable of." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Guo Jia frowned, from Lu Bu's words, he felt that it was a strong fighting spirit, the generals in the army naturally liked such a commander, and the commander was able to lead them to gallop on the battlefield and achieve victory, which was a great encouragement to the morale of the army.

However, Lu Bu's identity is too special, but Lu Bu often appears on the battlefield, Lu Bu is too important to the Chang'an army, if Lu Bu has a problem, the morale of the army will be greatly hit.

However, Guo Jia also understood Lu Bu's intentions, a battle would inevitably occur outside Chengdu, and the soldiers and horses of the southern counties were also extremely elite in Yizhou.

This is after Lu Bu broke through Yizhou, and the southern soldiers and horses are in a head-to-head confrontation, if the Chang'an army can achieve a hearty victory, it will inevitably shake the counties of Yizhou, so as to surrender to Lu Bu.

"Open the gates!" Lu Bu ordered.

Among the large army outside the city, Gao Ding and others pointed to the city not far away and discussed, their own side occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, even if the Chang'an army was elite, in the case of unknown circumstances, how could they dare to fight easily, so their performance was relatively easy.

Liu Bei didn't think so, Lu Bu was such a proud person, it was impossible to be indifferent in the face of the enemy's provocation, the princes outside Huguan back then, how strong their strength was, Lu Bu still dared to lead the soldiers and horses to meet the battle, not to mention now.

"Three Taishou, be careful when the Chang'an army goes out of the city." Liu Bei reminded.

Gao Ding said with a smile: "King Hanzhong can rest assured, if the King of Jin dares to lead the army out of the city, the elite under the command of this official will teach the enemy a hard lesson." ”

Looking at Gao Ding, who was full of confidence, Liu Bei, who originally wanted to remind him, kept his mouth shut, his identity in the army was already a little embarrassing, and the three of them made him the commander of the army, and they took a fancy to the nominal benefits that he brought to the army after he became the commander of the army, and he was not very respectful in his attitude towards him in peacetime.

The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate creaked open, and the first to come out of the city were thousands of flying horses, black clothes, black war horses, and scimitars, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

After Gao Ding saw the city gate open, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the army to prepare for battle.

For the flying horse, the soldiers in the army are very familiar, on the way to Chengdu City, they suffered from the cavalry attack, overwhelmed, although they hate the flying horse, they are in awe of the combat effectiveness of the flying horse, but there is awe, the cavalry in their own army in front of the flying horse, completely not enough to see, so that the soldiers in the army are more cautious when treating the flying horse.

So many flying horses did cause a lot of panic in the army, but under the orders of the generals of the various departments, the army gradually stabilized its position, no matter how strong the enemy's cavalry was, they had tens of thousands, even if it was the elite cavalry of the enemy.

The thousand cavalry stopped at a distance of about two hundred paces from the southern army, and quickly set up their formation, compared to the panic of the southern army before, the flying cavalry showed everyone in front of everyone is the swiftness and neatness of the movement.
