Niu Fu died, 9,000 men and horses returned to their hearts, Cao Ju was very happy in his heart, and the army was sacrificed for three days.

Of the 9,000 Xiliang Army, Cao Ju divided it into three armies, and Hua Xiong led one army, because he was originally from the Xiliang Army and was quite influential.

Huang Zhong led an army, and at present, among the generals under Cao Ju, he is definitely ranked first, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is famous all over the world, so it is absolutely no problem for him to lead this army.

Hu Chi'er, not to mention, he was originally the assistant Niu Fu to lead the 10,000 horses, and now that Niu Fu is dead, he is naturally the biggest.

Before, these people all hated Hu Chi'er for betraying Niu Fu, but after learning the truth about Hu Chi'er's betrayal, they begged Cao Ju not to kill Niu Fu, plus now that everyone is a lord, these people naturally no longer hate Hu Chi'er.

Cao Ju didn't break up the 9,000 men and put them into the 30,000 horses brought by Yang Feng, because he wasn't sure how loyal Guo Tai was. Otherwise, if this matter reached Guo Tai's ears, he secretly ordered Yang Feng to withdraw his troops, and Cao Ju wanted to capture Chang'an, it would not be so easy.

After resting for a few days, Cao Ju and the families of the generals were also sent to Tongguan, Cao Ju left 5,000 men and horses, with Qin Shao as the general, guarding Tongguan, and then personally led the remaining 20,000 people and horses to advance to Chang'an.

The counties along the way, under Cao Ju's strong force, all surrendered in anticipation of the wind, and Cao Ju's army soon arrived ten miles outside the east gate of Chang'an City.

Cao Ju really waved his troops westward, and after Dong Huang learned the news, although he tried to tell himself, the strength of the two sides was about the same, and he had the advantage of the city, and Cao Ju would lose this battle.

However, the word Cao Ju has left a shadow in Dong Huang's heart, Dong Huang really can't muster full confidence, and always thinks that Cao Ju is too much stronger than him.

Jia Xu is also looking forward to it more and more, what trick Cao Hui used to take the heavily defended Chang'an City, and when Dong Huang asked him for advice again, Jia Xu gave him a word, step up the city defense and prepare more equipment to defend the city.

Cao Ju's army set up camp ten miles outside Chang'an City, and did not move for several days, only training the army in the camp every day, and did not send troops to attack the city.

Dong Huang didn't dare to take it lightly, and sent a lot of scouts every day to closely probe the movements of the Cao army, so that Dong Huang could control the movements of the Cao army in time, but the price paid was that forty or fifty scouts were lost every day.

Cao Ju basically ignored Dong Huang's actions, and just sent people to kill Dong Jun's scouts and continue to train soldiers and horses in the camp with peace of mind.

In a flash, more than half a month has passed, and this calm is brewing with a boundless murderous atmosphere, which makes Dong Huang's heart more and more uneasy, and he can only sleep for more than two hours every night now.

This kind of torture was too painful, but someone proposed to Dong Huang to let Dong Huang attack Cao Ju's camp at night, but he really couldn't muster up the courage to send troops, so he didn't accept it.

Cao Ju, in fact, is not in the camp, he went to prepare for the capture of Chang'an City, this battle will determine the ownership of the land of Sanfu, lay down the strength of his overlord, Cao Ju finally decided to use the long-hidden trick.

On this day, Dong Huang, as in the past, patrolled the city, while waiting for the news brought back by the scouts.

On the ground, suddenly a black spot jumped into Dong Huang's eyes, his eyelids immediately jumped a few times, and he hurriedly opened his eyes and looked into the distance, sure enough, thousands of troops and horses were rushing over here.

Cao Ju finally couldn't help but make a move, Dong Huang was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, waiting for Cao Ju's army to attack the city.

However, when Cao Ju's army came to a mile outside the city, he stopped, only to see a black military general step forward and shouted: "Where is Dong Huang, my lord wants to fight with you and decide the ownership of Chang'an, can you dare to fight?" ”

Dong Huang rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, I have nothing wrong with my brain, of course I won't fight, Cao Ju wants to use this method to provoke me to be fooled, it's too naïve.

Dong Huang shouted loudly: "In this case, please also invite the horse to enter the city to fight, if the horse wins, Dong Huang will send it to Chang'an with both hands, the soldiers will not be bloody, if the horse is defeated, please also ask the horse to leave this place, and return Tongguan and Hangu Pass, how about it?" ”

Dian Wei heard this, and shouted: "In this case, Dong Huang, you will stretch your neck and wait for the sharp blade of my lord." With that, Dian Wei transferred the horse's head and returned to Cao Ju.

Dong Huang thought that Cao Ju would attack the city immediately, but Cao Ju did not give the order, and stood motionless with an army of more than 20,000, not knowing what he was waiting for.

Jia Xu also heard the news and came to the city, and he was also very surprised by Cao Ju's move, and could only believe that Cao Ju must have a trick next, but Jia Xu couldn't guess what the trick was.

An hour passed quickly, Cao Ju and his army were still standing like that, motionless, only a small number of sergeants ran out to facilitate one or two, and nothing else moved.

Dong Huang is also anxious, Cao Ju's army is coming, not attacking the city, not retreating, just consuming, making him feel uneasy, there is an ominous feeling, knowing that Cao Ju will not play like this, there must be a conspiracy next, but I don't know what the conspiracy is.

Suddenly, at this time, Cao Ju's army began to move, first the shield soldiers stepped forward and entered the firing range, and then the archers hid behind the shields.

Dong Huang immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows, but all of them were shot at the tall shields, which had no effect at all, and Cao Ju's archers did not shoot back.

At this moment, the general beside Dong Huang shouted: "Young General, look at the sky." ”

Dong Huang's face changed, and he hurriedly looked up, only to see that a black oppressive piece suddenly appeared in the sky, all of them were birds, flying towards this side, and soon reached the top of Chang'an City, and began to swoop down.

"Archers, shoot, shoot." Dong Huang couldn't figure out what was going on, so he hurriedly shouted, but this also seemed to be a code, and Cao Ju's archers also began to shoot, and the targets were all Dong Jun archers at the head of the city.

Jia Xu finally understood Cao Ju's thoughts, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly went down to the city tower, where he couldn't help, so he could only go home and wait, waiting for Cao Ju to come to the door.

Many Dong Army archers were shot dead by Cao Jun's archers before they even opened their bows, and the Dongjun archers were attacked on both sides, overwhelmed, and suffered heavy casualties for a while.

The chariot that hit the gate was also slowly pushed under the east gate of Chang'an City, and began to launch a violent impact on the city gate.

Under the attack of the upper and lower roads, the city defense of the Great Wall was almost zero, and there was no effect.

Dong Huang was in a hurry, and hurriedly commanded, but the more he commanded, the more chaotic it became, and it didn't take long for those birds to fight with the defenders at close range, and the city gate was also knocked open by the chariot that hit the door.
