Long before the expedition, Chen Xun sent Dong Fei and others to a safe place, and Anding is now an empty city, with less than 3,000 guards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Jia Xu and Li Ru walked to Chen Xun's tent, their faces were a little heavy. Looking at the faces of the two, Chen Xun knew that something was wrong.

Jia Xu stood up first and said, "Our plan failed, and Han Sui ...... the people in the city."

It turned out that before Chen Xun set out on the expedition, he collected most of the grain and grass in Anding City, leaving only a little grain and grass for the people to barely survive. This is a conspiracy, as long as Han Sui captures stability, then it is inevitable to collect grain and grass from the people to replenish his army, but the people have no extra food in their hands, so they can only collect it from their own rear, this time it takes at least ten days to go back and forth, if you want to sneak attack Chen Xun's rear, it will take at least half a month, and Chen Xun will already be in Chang'an City by then.

However, Han Sui chose to forcibly collect military rations in Anding, regardless of the lives of the people, and it is conceivable that a month later, he will starve all over the wilderness in Anding.

Chen Xun gritted his teeth and said: "Han Wen has a poisonous heart, and he wants to lead the army against me regardless of the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people. ”

Li Ru said: "According to the report from the spies, Emperor Xian promised Han Sui the position of Marquis of Western Liang, only for him to send troops to attack the rear of our army. ”

Chen Xun clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Order the whole army, accelerate the march, concentrate all the troops, and take Chang'an within three days." ”

Li Ru stood up and said: "Lord, Chang'an is a fortified city, our army came lightly and did not bring any siege equipment, if it is a strong attack, I am afraid that more than half of the dead and wounded will be killed, and I am afraid that it will be ...... then."

"Brother-in-law, if we don't take Chang'an earlier, as soon as Han Sui's army arrives, we will be attacked on our backs, and when that time comes, we may die without a place to bury."

Chen Xun's army was originally very close to Chang'an, so in just half a day's effort, the troops came to Chang'an City.

Arriving at the foot of Chang'an City, Chen Xun gave the order to attack. The soldiers of the Anding Army set up a ladder and attacked the head of Chang'an City, and the offensive was very fierce.

Above the city, Chen Gong looked at the Anding Army who had fallen into madness, not only did not have a sad face, but also had a hint of joy. Because he knew that Chen Xun's offensive was so ferocious, there must have been something that made him go crazy. The more ferocious Chen Xun's offensive was, the closer Han Sui's soldiers and horses were.

The offensive of the Anding army lasted until midnight, and Chen Xun ordered the army to retreat and repair. In today's battle, the Anding Army lost 20,000 soldiers, and under the city of Chang'an, it is now full of corpses.

The defenders of Chang'an also suffered heavy losses, and a full 8,000 soldiers and horses were lost at the head of Chang'an.

Chen Xun was physically and mentally exhausted by a day's siege, and just as he was about to rest, Li Ru broke into his camp.

"Supplement, good news, Fan Chou and General Li Su are ready to start up tonight, as long as the fire starts tonight, they will open the gate of Chang'an for our army." Li Ruxing said excitedly.

Chen Xun showed a hint of joy and said, "Are they credible?" ”

Li Ru hurriedly said: Fan Chou is his father-in-law's old general, and he has followed his father-in-law for more than ten years, so he should be credible. ”

Chen Xun regrouped the soldiers and horses who were just about to rest, and said a lot of words to encourage morale before the battle, but who could still listen to them now, because they were too tired.

In Chang'an City, Fan Chou gathered his soldiers and horses and prepared to start an incident.

"Tonight, it seems too quiet." Fan Chou frowned and asked Li Su.

Li Su replied: "Don't be careful, general, no one will know about the secrecy we have done, and the current defenders of Chang'an have long since rested after a day of fierce fighting." ”

Fan Chou nodded, but he always felt that something seemed to be wrong, and suddenly a sense of crisis arose from his heart, and the instinct of being a military general for many years made him take a step back.

A flash of light crossed the dark night, and Li Su was stunned with a dagger in his hand.

"No, this blow should be able to hit."

"Thief, I can't imagine that you actually took refuge in Emperor Xian." Fan Chou is also a thoughtful person, of course he guessed that Li Su had betrayed.

Li Su said with a smile: "General Fan, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, as long as you lay down your arms today, I will definitely speak for you in front of Your Majesty." ”

Fan Chou was furious and shouted, "Soldiers, take down this thief for me." But none of the surrounding soldiers obeyed Fan Chou's orders.

"Fan Chou, your cronies have long been cooked by me, these are His Majesty's people."

Fan Chou pulled out his long knife and said sharply: "Thief, I fought with you." ”

"General Xu, this traitor will be handed over to you." I saw a military general with a big axe come out, and Fan Chou was killed in just a few rounds.

Outside Chang'an City, the Anding Army has been assembled. Seeing that the head of Chang'an City was on fire, Li Ru immediately walked to Chen Xun's side and said, "General, the two generals Fan Chou and Li Su have succeeded." ”

"Who are you talking about, Li Su?" A sense of crisis rose from Chen Xun's heart, and when Li Su persuaded Lu Bu to surrender back then, Chen Xun knew that this person would do whatever it took for his future.

Chen Xun showed a look of struggle on his face, and only after a long time did he say: "Pass the order, the army will be repaired, and tomorrow we will prepare to attack the city." ”

Li Ru knelt on the ground and suggested: "Lord, the opportunity must not be lost, if we lose this golden opportunity today, then we don't know how much we will have to pay if we want to take Chang'an." ”

Chen Xun gritted his teeth and said, "I also know that tonight is a good opportunity for a thousand years, but Li Su is not trustworthy, this is very likely to be the game set up for us by the master behind Emperor Xian." ”

"General, this is a golden opportunity, you can't give up, no matter what, you have to give it a try, the last general is willing to lead five thousand soldiers and horses into Chang'an City, if there is no trap, then with five thousand Erlang is enough to control the city gate of Chang'an." Hua Kai knelt on one knee and asked for battle.

Chen Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Just according to what the general said." "This is a good time, and Chen Xun doesn't want to give up.

In this way, Hua Kai led 5,000 elite soldiers to quietly come to Chang'an City, and a soldier made a gesture to Hua Kai, and then the gate of Chang'an City was opened as agreed.

Hua Kai walked into Chang'an City with soldiers and horses, but felt that the atmosphere in the city was very strange.

"Not good, retreat." Hua Kai noticed something strange and ordered his subordinates to retreat, but it was too late.

The gates of Chang'an were quietly shut, and the inner city of Chang'an City was also lit with torches at this moment, and the head of the city was full of soldiers armed with bows and arrows.

"Shoot the arrows." Above the head of Chang'an City, a general gave orders, only to see a rain of arrows shooting down from the top of the city, and the soldiers led by Hua Kai were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at the Chang'an City Gate that suddenly closed, Chen Xun's face was gloomy.

"Pass the order, and the whole army will prepare to attack the city and support General Hua."

"General, no, this is a conspiracy of the enemy, don't be fooled." Chen Xun's generals knelt on the ground and persuaded each other.

Chen Xun squatted down and put his hands on the back of his head, he knew that the siege now would only increase casualties, but he regretted it in his heart.

"Hua Kai, one of the generals who followed him from the beginning, he is Chen Xun's old brother."
