Chapter 344: Breaking Chang'an (2)

Zhuge Liang really couldn't figure out how Liu Qi saw through his strategy? Because no matter how much he speculated, he always believed that there was nothing wrong with his plan. ←,

In fact, Zhuge Liang was right, his strategy was indeed not flawed, but he didn't know that Liu Qi had already obtained a lot of information in Chang'an City.

For example, at the beginning, in fact, Liu Qi knew the names of all the generals under Zhang Fei's command, and naturally knew that there was no one named Jin Wuxian at all, and naturally there would be no Zuo Sima called Jin Wuxian, Liu Qi knew that Zhang Fei's Zuo Sima was one of his personal captains, named Zhang Wuxian.

Liu Qi's news was obtained from Fan Qiang, and it was confirmed by careful investigation in the city, so as soon as he heard what Jin Wuxian was calling to greet him, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

But he deliberately pretended not to know and exchanged a look with Jia Xu. It is implied that Jia Xu led the army to stay, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and stormed the western city wall.

Because since his plan to attack the south city gate was leaked, Zhuge Liang would definitely ambush heavy troops here, and the troops in Chang'an City were insufficient, Zhuge Liang could only draw troops at the east and west city walls, which would naturally cause the east and west city walls to be empty, and the west city wall was next to Weiyang Palace, which was Liu Bei's official office and family location, where Chen Zhi's white ear soldiers were guarded, and it was really difficult to break through, and the east city gate was different, next to Changle Palace, next to Changle Palace, However, Changle Palace is where Liu Bei's treasury is located, as long as he occupies this place, he can seize Liu Bei's grain and grass materials, and give Liu Bei a salary from the bottom of the kettle. Although the defense here is also very tight, it is far worse than Weiyang Palace, and it can be quickly attacked.

And Liu Qi is full of fine works in the city, so he naturally knows that Chang'an has built an urn city, and there is a jack gate at the gate of the city. So as soon as he came up, he understood Zhuge Liang's strategy, but he still entered the city quietly, and immediately issued an order to the fine workers in the city, ordering them to rush to respond, and taking advantage of the enemy's inattention, released carrier pigeons to issue the order.

That's exactly what happened. Liu Qi dared to rush to the inner city gate regardless of a single qiē, and then led the army to storm the city gate, otherwise, even if his army was the best elite soldiers in the world, it would be absolutely difficult to break through the thick inner city gate without siege equipment.

Zhuge Liang can't control how Liu Qi knows the truth in the city and how to see through his own strategy, and now his main task is to find a way to protect Liu Bei from here, but now Liu Qi's 20,000 personal soldiers have poured into Mingguang Palace, blocking the way for his army to Weiyang Palace. It made him feel miserable, so he had no choice but to order the army to go around the south city wall to the east city wall, around the Gui Palace, down at the Zhicheng Gate in the east, and then go to Weiyang Palace.

In this way, Zhuge Liang's army went around a long distance, and when he led the army to reach the Zhicheng Gate, he found that Liu Bei's Bai'er army was fighting the enemy army in the dark. Not open.

It turned out that at this time, Liu Qi had already divided his troops to occupy the south city gate, and a sergeant Tong guò winch opened the jack gate. Tens of thousands of soldiers poured into the city at the west and south gates, and these soldiers gathered together and began to advance in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

What made Zhuge Liang feel most embarrassed was that among the enemy troops who were fighting with the Baier soldiers, there were still a group of men, women, and children escorted, Zhuge Liang knew. These men, women, and children were the families of the civil and military officials who lived in the Mingguang Palace, including the families of the late Guan Yu and the imprisoned Zhang Fei, as well as the families of Zhong Xuan, Zhang Ji, Chen Zhi and his Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi personally escorted these family members and coerced these civil and military officials within the Qin army to surrender.

Among them, Zhang is both small because of Gu Nian's family. had to announce his surrender, Guan Xing was unexpectedly tied up by Zhang Ji and taken to Liu Qi's army.

And Zhang Fei originally had the intention of surrendering, but he was tricked by Zhuge Liang, and then he was stunned by Liu Bei with drugged wine and taken to the dungeon of Changle Palace, but when Jia Xu led the army to attack Changle Palace, he unexpectedly learned that Zhang Fei was imprisoned here, and personally led people to rescue Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei didn't expect that he had made a mistake with bandits, and mistook Zhuge Jun as a friend, but he actually killed Liu Qi, and he was already heartbroken at this moment, but he didn't expect the prison door to be suddenly opened, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Jia Xu who came to rescue him in person, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and at the same time he was grateful to Jia Xu in his heart, and immediately ordered Fan Qiang, who was also imprisoned here, to lead those tiger infantry troops who were still loyal to him to follow Liu Qi to fight together, and jointly sent troops to Weiyang Palace to recruit Liu Bei.

And Zhang Fei himself asked for his own soldiers to escort the safety of Guan Yu and his own family, on the one hand, it was really for the sake of his family, and on the other hand, it was also to avoid contact with Liu Bei, because in his opinion, after all, he betrayed Liu Bei at a critical moment, and he deserved it even if he was punished. Jia Xu naturally knew Zhang Fei's thoughts, but he didn't embarrass him, but decisively agreed.

went with Zhang Fei to protect the safety of his family, as well as Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao. In fact, after the defeat of the quail, Zhang Bao was captured by Huang Zhong, but in order to avoid Liu Bei suspecting Zhang Fei, he deliberately said that Zhang Bao's whereabouts are unknown, and Zhang Bao has been repeatedly persuaded by Huang Zhong, Liu Qi and others these days, and thanks to Liu Qi's grace not to kill, he decided to surrender to Liu Qi, this time Zhang Bao entered Chang'an with Liu Qi, and heard that his father was captured by Liu Bei, and couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and said that his father's loyalty was not worth it, he wanted to lead the army to attack Weiyang Palace, but was stopped by Zhang Fei, saying that Liu Bei was the old master after all, and it was not good to face it directly, so he persuaded Zhang Bao to go with him to protect his family.

However, it was said that Zhang Fei led Zhang Bao and hundreds of personal soldiers to Mingguang Palace, met Liu Qi, and explained his intention to protect his family.

Liu Qi agreed without thinking about it, and then led 20,000 personal soldiers to prepare to attack Weiyang Palace, completely defeating Liu Bei's last reliance, 10,000 Baier soldiers and another 10,000 elite personal soldiers.

When Liu Qi was leaving, Zhang Fei suddenly said: "Liu Qi, your courage is not small, you know that I didn't greet you in person, there must be a problem, but you still dare to lead the army to attack the city, which I admire very much, but I don't know where you got your confidence?" Aren't you worried that this qiē is just a means I use against you? ”

But Liu Qi smiled and said loudly: "Although Qi is dull, he also knows the truth that those who doubt it don't need it, and those who use it don't doubt it." Although General Zhang's heart was indeed difficult to let go of his feelings for Liu Bei, Qi knew that General Zhang would definitely not break his promise for the sake of the Han, the people of the Han, and the promise he made, and this time the general did not come. And there is no Zuo Sima in your army called Jin Wuxian, so Qi concluded that the general must have been controlled by Liu Bei and couldn't get out for a while, so Qi immediately led the army to storm Chang'an, on the one hand, to take Chang'an in one go, and on the other hand, it actually meant to rescue the general. ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be moved when he saw that Liu Qi didn't doubt himself from beginning to end. But he didn't say it, but smiled heroically, and then watched Liu Qi leave slowly.

However, it is said that Liu Qi led the army to leave the Mingguang Palace, and joined the army led by Jia Xu and Wen Ping, with a total of more than 100,000 people in the two armies, including Gan Ning, Meng Shu, Sha Moke, Liu Shi, Liao Hua, Zhang Tong, Fu Wei, Wen Ping, Lu Lingqi, Zhu Rong, Sun Shangxiang, Li Dian, Zhu Huan, Li Yan, Bao Ling, Li Yi, Pang Le, Song Qian, Su Fei, Chen Qi, Deng Long, Sun Ben, Sun Jiao and other generals, launched a general attack on the Qin army in Changle Palace.

Although Liu Bei's White Ear Army is elite, it is the Chinese army with the Praetorian Guard and the Xiao Guard Army on the other side. Under the oppression of the flanked army of Meng Shu and Shamoke's Wudang Fei Army, Wenpin's Jingzhou Army, Lu Lingqi's female soldiers and Gan Ning's crossbow soldiers, there was no resistance at all.

The Praetorian Guards and the Xiao Guards themselves were superior to the White Ear Army in terms of soldiers. In addition, the number of people is twice that of the Baier soldiers, not to mention that the city has just been broken, and the momentum of the army is like a rainbow, so as soon as the two sides come into contact, Liu Qi's two pro-military camps have achieved an overwhelming advantage.

The white-eared soldiers all rode white horses, and they looked full of momentum. However, because this is in the palace, the cavalry not only cannot give full play to the speed advantage and huge impact power, but on the contrary, it has become a live target for the enemy, especially by the Xiao Guards, who are good at dealing with cavalry.

I saw that every time the windy and heavy Mo knife was swung, there would be white-eared soldiers who were hacked to death and slashed. Occasionally, it was accompanied by the wailing of war horses.

The Praetorian Guards, on the other hand, were armed with spears and stabbed a white-eared sergeant off their horses, and although the iron sword was their main weapon, they were more skilled in using spears than many professional spearmen, which was the advantage of their long and special training.

The commander of the White Ear Army looked at the shape of the battlefield with a gloomy face, every time a White Ear Army soldier was killed, his heart twitched fiercely, because these were all the elites he cultivated single-handedly, these were his brothers who lived and died together, his brothers knew that they would die, but they did not have the slightest complaint, they used their blood and courage to erect a solid defense, although their numbers were drastically decreasing, but they were still sticking to their promise: as long as the White Ear Army was there, Qin Gong was safe.

What's more, these loyal and brave soldiers did not die in vain, and they were not willing to die in vain, even if they died, they would definitely find a way to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, Chen Zhi saw with his own eyes that a White Ear Army soldier was pierced through the abdomen by the spear of the Praetorian Guard, but this soldier did not care about his injuries at all, and did not hesitate to swing his spear to behead the Praetorian Guard, as a result, the soldier naturally died so that he could not die anymore, but his knife also stood down the other party's head.

There was also a soldier of the White Ear Army, he was cut off by an Xiao Guard, and blood immediately gushed out, but he took the opportunity to jump off the horse and strangled the other party's throat with his only remaining arm, and the other party slashed him with a knife more than a dozen times, but his hand was not let go until he died, and finally although he died, he also strangled the Xiao Guard alive......

Although his heart hurts, Chen Zhi knows that now is not the time to be sad, as the commander of the White Ear Army, his main task is to protect the safety of the lord, so he saw that today's matter will undoubtedly fail, so he was ruthless, and pulled out a thousand people from the only five thousand white ear soldiers, formed a formation, and tried to defend against the impact of the enemy army, but he himself led the remaining soldiers to the palace to protect the lord Liu Bei from Chang'an.
