Chapter 321: Please enter the urn
"Strategist, Fan Chou has already been dispatched! Shall I remind General Wei? Zhang Xiu sat down and asked anxiously.
"How many people did Fan Chou dispatch?" Jia Xu didn't answer Zhang Xiu's question, but asked about Zhang Xiu.
"About 10,000 people, all elite. It seems that Fan Chou doesn't just want to test the reality of Chang'an City! Zhang Xiu sneered.
"Fan Chou is greedy for money, thinking that after taking the lead in attacking Chang'an City, he can obtain the wealth that Dong Taishi fell into the hands of Situ Wang Yun!" Jia Xu flipped his hands, roasted the brazier in front of him, and said lightly. Fan Chou would have such a reaction, he had already known it, and he was not surprised.
"If Chang'an City is not prepared, under the combination of inside and outside, 10,000 elite soldiers will take advantage of the chaos to cover up and occupy the city gate. Then blow the horn and summon the follow-up army, it is indeed possible to take advantage of the chaos to capture Chang'an! Zhang Ji took into account the night raid, and then made a simple analysis according to the normal comparison of the strength of the enemy and us.
"If Lu Bu defends the city alone, it is indeed possible. Now that He Xian is here, this possibility will be infinitely reduced. ”
"Wen He is so confident in He Xian?" Zhang Ji asked rhetorically.
"I have analyzed the big and small battles since He Xian's debut, from the ambush of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Thieves outside Wancheng, to the raid on Wuhuan's lair in Chishan, the encirclement of the reinforcement and the annihilation of the Wuhuan Qiu Liju Department, and then to the burning of the Yuan forces in Jingzhou by Huarong Dao, one by one the facts have proved that He Xian himself is a master of ambush warfare. What he is good at is to fight more with less, and to dial a thousand pounds in four or two. What he doesn't like the most is for the army to face each other head-on, fighting in a dignified manner. In Chang'an City, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed. As a defensive party, He Xian will definitely try his best to plug the loopholes and not leave a chance for the Xiliang army to take advantage of it. Forcing the Xiliang army to attack the city head-on, because the siege will cause the losses of the Xiliang army to be great! ”
Hearing Jia Xu say this, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu thought back to a report that Jia Xu had submitted to them on the growth record of He Xian's forces, and felt that this was really the case.
"In this case, we don't need to inform He Xian, we just need to wait and see how things develop?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"What the major general said is extremely true!" Jia Xu picked up a handful of firewood from the ground next to him and added it to the brazier, "If General Wei can't even break through these little tricks of Fan Chou, then I'll consider changing a prince as soon as possible." If you don't have a Mo family, don't worry about it anymore. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Ji frowned, obviously not very much with Jia Xu's words. But after thinking about it again, Jia Xu continues to have so much confidence in He Xian, presumably the probability of success will be relatively high.
Jia Xu didn't pay attention to Zhang Ji's emotional changes, he knew Zhang Ji and knew that he would definitely understand the powerful relationship, but turned to Zhang Xiu and admonished: "Young General, you continue to stare in the direction of Luocheng Gate." Fan Chou succeeded, and we continued to hold still. If Fan Chou fails, or even is defeated and killed, we must be prepared to accept more than 40,000 people from Fan Chou's department! ”
Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, respectfully responded with a "promise", and left the tent with his fists clenched.
Fan Chou's eyes were staring at the treasures in Chang'an City, but Jia Xu's eyes were staring at Fan Chou's net worth...... Who is the Yellow Sparrow? Who is a praying mantis? Who are the cicadas?
On Chang'an City, there were many shadows of fire, and the fierce cold wind blew the torches and the flames on the brazier flickered. Most of the soldiers on patrol took refuge in the leeward to avoid the cold, counting nine cold winters, which was really not a good season to fight with soldiers.
Outside the Los Angeles Gate, the "cooing" of night owls suddenly sounded, and immediately after, three torches were lit on the city wall, which rotated three times in a clockwise direction. After the torches on the castle were rotated, three torches were also lit under the castle, but the direction of rotation was counterclockwise.
"The code is correct, you can lower the drawbridge and open the city gate!" The junior colonel in the city instructed the sergeant below. The suspension bridge is the bridge of the moat outside Chang'an City.
"Inform the general that the code is correct, and the large army can approach!" Under the city, a Xiliang junior general under Fan Chou informed the sergeant beside him.
The sound of a "squeak" winch spinning sounded outside the Luocheng Gate, which was particularly harsh in Chang'an City in the middle of the night.
The sun rises and the sun sets. After the gates of Chang'an City are closed at sunset, they will not be opened until after dawn the next day, which has been the same for hundreds of years. The only exception to this is when the city falls. Tonight, the Luoyang Gate slowly opened in the middle of the night!
Opening the city gate was a very dynamic event, and the people near the Los Angeles gate probably heard the movement. But Chang'an City is very large, even if the defenders of the West City and the East City, which are connected to the city, come to investigate the situation clearly, and then go back to report that after the reinforcements are assembled, the north gate will have already changed hands. So, it's a process of hitting the time gap. Fan Chou was not worried that the movement of opening the city gate would cause too much trouble, he believed that as long as he advanced fast enough, he could take the north gate. And after taking it, guard it according to the city gate, and then send someone to summon the Xiliang army in his camp, and Chang'an City can go down with a drum!
Therefore, when the drawbridge fell and the city gate was opened, Fan Chou first sent 3,000 vanguard troops to cross the drawbridge and enter the Luoyang Gate. After the vanguard entered the city, there was no shout of killing. Fan Chou immediately issued an order for all staff to move forward!
The remaining more than 7,000 well-trained Xiliang elite soldiers, under the leadership of Fan Chou, quickly passed the suspension bridge and entered the Luoyang Gate.
The inside of Luoyang Gate was pitch black, except for the torches brought by the Xiliang Army, there was no fire in front of or around, and it was so black that it made people panic. Fan Chou suddenly had a feeling of palpitations: Where did the three thousand vanguard army go?
Suddenly, there was a dense "rush" sound in front of him, followed by screams one after another.
Listening to those screams, isn't it your own 3,000 forward army?!
"Not good! There's an ambush ahead! Fan Chou finally reacted, shouted "retreat", turned his horse's head and wanted to break through outside the city gate.
"Whoa!" The huge suspension bridge outside the city suddenly collapsed, and the huge bridge fell into the freezing water, smashing the ice floes on the surface. Hundreds of Xiliang sergeants fell into the moat, and there were miserable cries for help. Now it is the cold winter wax moon, and the Xiliang army participating in the night attack is fully armed, at least wearing leather armor and carrying bows, arrows and swords. What's more, most of the Xiliang Army are landlubbers who don't know how to water, how do they know how to survive in the water?
The back road was cut off, and there was no hope of retreating, which only provoked Fan Chou's ferocity.
"Don't panic, don't panic! Follow the general to support the vanguard army and enter Chang'an City! Fan Chou raised his arms and exhaled, which stabilized the panicked Xiliang Army a lot. Not counting the 3,000 vanguard army, the Xiliang army that is now trapped inside the city gate is about 4,000.
"Kill it! Kill it! Kill it! More than 4,000 Xiliang sergeants shouted loudly, emboldening themselves in the dark night. More and more torches were slowly lit, Fan Hou looked around, and then he saw clearly: it turned out that he was trapped in the urn city inside the Luo City Gate!
