At that time, the red sun in the west had gradually sunk in the west, and after listening to Jia Xu's words, Captain Li Wei immediately led the whole army to retreat. www.biquge.info But it turned out that Jia Xu was secretly watching under the city, and saw that above the east gate of Chang'an, the number of guards was scarce, and it was estimated that there were only four or five thousand people.

Yu Yu, who had three locks of long beard in his hand, whispered to Li Wei and the others in the bleak autumn wind.

"The circumference of Chang'an Jiancheng is more than 60 miles, and the height of the city is as high as more than five zhang. It seems to me that although these enemy forces have taken the city, their numbers seem to be very small. And Chang'an City is wide, and there are as many as 12 city gates, why don't we act like this? ”

As a result, Levi was overjoyed when he heard this, and then immediately ordered the army to retreat. Gan Ning, who was carrying a halberd on the top of the city and monitoring the enemy's situation, was secretly relieved to see the enemy retreat in the afterglow of the setting sun.

But he turned to the guards beside him and ordered: "You lead some brothers, go and take a quick look at General Zhang, have you completely controlled the people in the city?" ”

"Whoa!" The guard said yes loudly, and hurried down the city.

Gan Ning commanded all the soldiers on the top of the city, and prepared the materials for defending the city with all his strength on the high city, in preparation for the onslaught of the enemy.

However, it turned out that after Gan Ning and Zhang Ren led the army into the city, because they saw the emptiness in the city, the two of them acted separately under the plan of righteousness.

Because Gan Ning led a foot soldier, he led the army directly to the east gate of Chang'an, preparing to give full play to the strengths of the army and hold the enemy's way back to the city.

However, Zhang Ren took advantage of the rapid movement of the cavalry because he led the elite cavalry, and the army divided the army to sweep away the remnants of the enemy in the city, and quickly seized important places such as rice warehouses and arsenals to stabilize the form of Chang'an City.

Zhang Ren also knew that he and Gan Ning were doves occupying the magpie's nest, and they took the enemy's nest first when the enemy was not at home, and if the enemy came back, they would definitely have to fight hard.

Therefore, he and his subordinates can deal with the remnants of Chang'an City as quickly as they can.

It was an extraordinary period, and Zhang Ren, who was decisive in killing, decisively ordered his subordinates to bind the remnants of the city if they surrendered; If you don't fall, don't talk nonsense and kill directly.

This order, how can it be done vigorously. So, when the enemy troops outside the city retreated, Zhang Ren and others had already done the things in the city in the bloody storm.

Zhang Ren was worried that Ganning had few soldiers, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to hold on to the enemy's strong attack, so he ordered his elite cavalry to drive many families of the generals of Xiliang such as Li Mansion, Guo Mansion, and Fan Mansion to go to the city and hand over to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was overjoyed when he saw this, and said in his heart: "He was a first-handed!" With the families of these thieves here, Lao Tzu is not afraid that they will come to seize the city. If his turtle sons dared to come again, Lao Tzu threatened to chop up all their families one by one, one by one, to see if they could scare these turtle sons to death. ”

Gan Ning's idea of using intimidation to stop the enemy army from attacking the city is undoubtedly excellent.

Because, although the people in this world say that there are some people who are unkind and unrighteous, they will not care about the life and death of their families. However, that kind of person is a minority after all, and most people still attach great importance to family affection.

Therefore, knowing that He Man had summoned Gan Ning in Hanzhong, he thought of using this strategy to delay time. Such an approach, at this time, is undoubtedly an extremely wise choice.

It's a pity that when the sun completely set, Gan Ning suddenly saw countless torches lit outside the city, and the enemy army did not come to attack the east gate he was guarding at all, but divided into two ways with torches, divided into two long dragons and went straight to the left and right.

"Not good!" Seeing this, Gan Ning exclaimed, "The turtle sons want to abandon the east gate and attack the north and south gates, so quickly go and inform General Zhang Ren and ask him to lead the army to guard the north gate as soon as possible." ”

In the midst of the shouting, Gan Ning sent his leading lieutenants to lead thousands of soldiers to continue to guard the east city gate, but he led the remaining more than 3,000 people to beat torches and rush to the south gate.

In the evening, Gan Ning could see clearly from above the city, and almost all of the enemy troops were riding on the tall horses.

At that time, he secretly guessed that these people might be the invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Dong Zhuo back then.

Gan Ning thought to himself, the enemy army is such a brave cavalry, plus there are enough people of 40,000 or 50,000 people, but he only has 4,000 or 5,000 people, which is a gap of nearly ten times.

What's even more terrifying is that his subordinates are all foot soldiers, which is really fatal.

Therefore, Gan Ning knew very well that he and his brothers must not lose the protection of their geographical advantages, otherwise the fate that awaited him and his brothers might be a dead end.

Gan Ning, who led the army to the south gate of the city, didn't know, because when Xu Shu led the army to Taibai County, it was not long after he led the army away.

At this time, the elite guards sent by Xu Shu to Chang'an to listen to the intelligence had already connected with Zhang Ren. When Zhang Ren learned that his reinforcements had arrived, he also received an urgent report from Gan Ning.

Zhang Ren immediately ordered the guards under his command, rode his horse from the west gate to report the situation in Chang'an City to Xu Shu, and at the same time led the three thousand elite horsemen under his command to rush to the north of Chang'an City to guard the three gates of the North City.

Gan Ren and Zhang Ren were extremely nervous in their hearts at this time! Because they have too few soldiers.

There are three city gates on each side of this Chang'an City, and if they are scattered to guard them, then above each city gate, they can only arrange a thousand guards to defend them.

However, they didn't know that when the enemy army dispersed, in the dark night outside the three eastern gates, Levi, who was leading the main force, was frowning and looking at the countless family members who were being guarded by thousands of soldiers above the east gate, and frowned.

Immediately, he turned his head and lowered his voice to Jia Xu next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Guanglu! You see that the enemy army has tied up everyone's old and young, but how should this be? ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu is clever enough to bring out his three sons, otherwise he would have to be killed by this awkward Levi." ”

Thinking about it, he whispered to Levi: "You don't have to ask me about this, I don't know what to do, but I know one thing." ”

"What kind of thing is that?" Li Wei, who was secretly scolding Jia Xu's old fox, hurriedly asked when he heard this.

Jia Xu smiled slightly in the cool night breeze, whiskered and said softly: "The old man only knows that our army has no food at the moment, if we can't quickly break through Chang'an City and recapture the food in the city, then everyone will starve to death together." ”

"Shhh You are always ......" Levi looked at Jia Xu in the dark with wide eyes and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't mean anything else." Jia Xu waved his hand and said softly, "It's just to say the worries in the old man's heart, as for how to distinguish it?" Let Captain Li decide for himself. ”

"Your mother's! You're too cunning an old immortal. Dare to be affectionate, this bad guy has to be done by Lao Tzu. Li Wei scolded in his heart when he heard this, but he forgot that Jia Xu's mother had just been mourned.

After Jia Xu refused to say it explicitly, but pointed out that it was powerful, Li Wei could only turn around helplessly and order through gritted teeth.

"All the guards obey the order! He sent a message to my brethren, saying that though the enemy had captured our young and old, if we did not break the city and regain our food, we would all starve to death sooner or later. Therefore, give my whole army a siege of the city, and behead those who violate the order! ”

So it didn't take a while, just as Gan Ning and Zhang Ren were on the north and south sides of the city, wondering why the enemy army just bluffed but didn't come to attack the city gate?

But I suddenly heard the shouts from the east, and the bright red firelight illuminated the dark night sky in the east.

"Not good!" Zhang Ren and Gan Ning coincidentally exclaimed loudly on the north and south sides of the city!

When the two generals were about to lead the army to rush to the east gate, the enemy troops on the north and south sides shouted at the same time and carried the huge tree, and under the light of bright red torches, they came to seize the city gate.

Gan Ning and Zhang Ren were suddenly in a situation, they couldn't help the east city gate if they could take care of the city gate in front of them, and they would lose the city gate in front of them if they took care of the east city gate, and it became a dilemma for a while.

Zhang Ren and Gan Ning both knew that the enemy army with a large number of iron cavalry, no matter which side they attacked the city, they and their brothers would never be able to please each other.

At this time, the enemy army was outnumbered, and seeing that Chang'an City was broken by the enemy again, it had become an inevitable trend. Hua Fei's attack on the two armies in Chang'an City became dangerous in an instant.

However, Zhang Ren deserved to be a famous general in Chengdu, and in just a moment, he immediately ordered the guards under his command to go to the southeast and southeast to convey his decision.

At the same time, he urgently ordered the three thousand elite horsemen under his command to abandon the three gates in the north of Chang'an, and rushed away along Chang'an Avenue with him. (To be continued.) )
