Chapter 240: Breaking Chang'an
Zhang Ji received the news that Zhang Le shot into the city, thinking that in the past few months, the Xiliang army has not had a trace of news to Chang'an, and it should be blocked by Lu Bu's army to the west of Chencang, and Lu Bu personally returned to Chang'an, indicating that the war in Wuguan is very unfavorable. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang believes that people will instinctively imagine a remedy when they encounter a mortal danger, and Lu Bu hurriedly rushed back from the front line, just to remedy Wuguan. And if he wanted to defeat Lu Bu, he could only come to Cao Cao's army to attack, he didn't expect that Cao Cao would not be able to free up his hand to stalemate with Lu Bu at all, and he just wanted to cause a trace of psychological pressure on Lu Bu.
The enemy troops besieging the city tonight were very scarce, and Zhang Ji put on a flying board and sent several waves of scouts to be intercepted by Lu Bu's army.
The sky is about to brighten, and there are scouts who reported that the besieging Chang'an's Lu Bu army is secretly retreating, marching in the direction of Lantian, the army is walking very hidden, and the drums in the direction of Jianzhang Palace are all famous, as if the former army is training, which shows that Lu Bu wants to bluff and relieve a few days to withdraw troops from Chencang and continue to besiege Chang'an. Since Zhang Ji had completely believed his guess, he decided to go out of the city to pursue Lu Bu's army.
The blizzard was wanton, making a natural cover for the ambush of Lu Bujun, Zhou Cang took hundreds of people to carry the ladder and ambushed two miles outside the Changdong Gate, freezing for days, the moat had already condensed into ice, and Chen Gong also attacked Chang'an several times, but failed to conquer it.
Zhang Ji led the army out from the east gate, and in order to prevent accidents, all the defenders in the city were arranged to the northwest corner to prevent Chen Gong from sneaking up on a flying board to attack Chang'an. He never expected that Lu Bu would send someone to break through from the east gate where he had just left. A column of soldiers came out of the city, and the water surface of the trench dug by Lu Bujun at the head of the suspension bridge had long been frozen, and a flying board was laid on it to strengthen the bearing capacity of the ice.
The latter group of soldiers had just disappeared at the end of the snow mist, and Zhou Cang, who was lying knee-deep in the snow, got up. Zhang Ji's army passed by them, and he didn't notice that there were Lu Bu soldiers lying lying hundreds of paces away. The Chang'an city was too high, and it took three ladders to tie it together to reach the top of the city wall, but fortunately, Zhang Ji subconsciously thought that the east wall he had just left was the safest, and there were not many defenders arranged, only a few sentries patrolling back and forth on the city wall.
The main reason is that the city wall of Chang'an is too long, and the number of soldiers needed for comprehensive defense is too much, Zhang is short of soldiers, and he has to defend the city and go out of the city to pursue Lu Bu's army, so he can only send more sentinels to the east wall, once the enemy army attacks the city, other soldiers at the head of the city can support in time.
Zhou Cangshen unknowingly led the soldiers to the bottom of the city, tied the ladder, and quietly waited for the sound of fighting in the distance. He had to wait until Zhang Ji fell into Lu Bu's ambush, otherwise Zhang Ji would definitely lead his troops back to support when he heard the sentinel's warning.
One by one, Lu Bu's soldiers fought motionless in the snowfield, with a thick layer of snow on their bodies, which blended with the earth, and it was difficult to find them a hundred steps away. Zhang Ji never expected that Lu Bu's army sneaked from the south of the city to the side of the avenue ten miles east of the city to ambush, and the avenue Zhongying was a row of previous reinforcements who hurried back to Wuguan.
Zhang Ji's soldiers stepped on the thick snow, making a salsa sound, the snow march was very slow, and in half a day, Zhang Ji's army only left the city for twelve or thirteen miles. Suddenly, the cannons of the two mountains rang out, and the sound of shouting and killing came from all directions.
"Ambush! There is an ambush! ”
The soldiers were suddenly frightened, instinctively scurrying around, most of the soldiers were newly trained recruits, and they had not seen blood yet, and suddenly heard the enemy army, and panicked.
"Don't panic, let's line up, line up as we did during training. Only by lining up in formation can you defeat the thieves! Yang Fu was also panicked, he was not frightened by the ambush, but by the soldiers who did not respect the orders of his own side. The two armies fought, and how could he be allowed to speak at length, and the shouts of killing in the distance were getting closer and closer.
This is also Lu Bujun's helplessness, he had to get up and move his joints in advance, so he began to shout and kill when Zhang Ji's soldiers were still in the distance. Lu Bujun froze in the snow for several hours, if it weren't for the harsh military law and the lucrative bounty, the soldiers of Lu Bujun would have quit a long time ago. One by one, the soldiers who were frozen and stiff slowly trotted forward, moving their limbs to warm up for the next fight.
One by one, Lu Bu soldiers were wrapped in thick snow, rushing towards Zhang Ji's soldiers, as if a snowman slapping and licking the ground, the soldiers behind the big formation and Bai Darong were one, Zhang Ji's soldiers could only see the overwhelming, endless, unable to accurately estimate how many enemy troops there were, and the army's morale plummeted.
"Lu Bu is here, the thieves are descending quickly!"
"Zhang Liao is here, the thieves are descending quickly!"
"Gao Shun is here, the thieves are descending quickly!"
Before and after, countless soldiers shouted to the sky, Zhang Ji was horrified, it turned out that Lu Bu brought back the two generals under his command, just to ambush him while he was unprepared, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were the number one generals under Lu Bu, and they were famous all over the world. He knew that Lu Bu did it on purpose, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were still in Chen Cang, hundreds of miles away.
Shouting and shouting, Lu Bu's soldiers did not stop at their feet, and Lu Bu, Lu Meng, and Xu Xuan each led their soldiers to kill from three sides. Lu Bu rode a tall horse and rushed into the enemy army first, drawing the direction of the halberd, and the blood mist poured out. Countless foot soldiers came behind him, and under the leadership of more than 20 big men who had been strengthened by Lu Bu's skills, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and slashed Zhang Ji's front row sword and shield hands to the ground.
Zhang Ji's new soldiers, once unfavorable, quickly retreated, crowded one after another, and overthrew his own soldiers to the ground. The soldier who fell into the snow never got up again, countless pairs of feet stepped over him, and he struggled to swallow his last breath in a scream.
The two armies had just met each other in short combat, and the drums on the city tower in the distance were beating eagerly, as if urging death. When Zhang Ji's soldiers heard Chang'an's urgency, they were even more unbearable, and they were frightened one by one, crying frantically. In a short confrontation, Zhang Ji's soldiers were defeated.
Zhang Ji's eyes were split, he grabbed the sword and put it on his neck, and shouted in despair: "Lu Bu is like a god with soldiers, I might as well do it." Vainly used the mantis arm as a car, resulting in the death of the three armies, and the princes asked for a reward. ”
Zhong Jin, who had been frightened and bloodless on the side, heard this, and secretly cast his eyes, and the guards around him rushed towards Zhang Ji's side, Zhong Jin raised his voice and said to Zhang Ji: "Make the king slow." ”
Zhang Ji looked at Zhong Jin suspiciously, Zhong Jin's personal guards suddenly became difficult, pounced on Zhang Ji, and pressed Zhang Ji to the ground and tied him up. Zhang Ji reacted in a daze, Zhong Jin wanted to capture him alive and surrender him to Lu Bu, his eyes were bloodshot, and he scolded.
"Let the king stop the blame, and a certain person has come to today's predicament, all because of the sins of the king. The defeat was decided, and the method of treating the enemy by Lu Bu, the king of Qin, must have made Jun very clear. All this was caused by the envoy, and only by handing the envoy over to the king of Qin to deal with it can we save our lives. ”
Zhong Jin was afraid, the name of Lu Bu's demon made him shudder, all this was originally from Zhang Ji's hand, as long as Zhang Jisheng was captured and handed over to Lu Bu, there was no need for Zhong Jin to shirk, Zhang Ji couldn't argue.
