Chapter 322: Chang'an Lifts the Siege
Although Zhang Xiu suddenly broke out and posed a great threat to Liang Xinghe's candidates, Zhang Xiu was still alone after all, he was not Lu Bu nor Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, and he did not rely on the strength of one person to turn the tide of the battle, even if his combat strength increased greatly because of his uncle Zhang Ji's serious injury, it was a little difficult to support himself.
Liang Xinghe and the candidates are not fierce generals, naturally they will not fight hard with Zhang Xiu and other figures, after commanding his subordinates to surround Zhang Xiu, they continued to attack the north gate, although the five thousand garrisons in the city came to reinforce, but Han Sui's Ma Wan and others also arrived with people.
The north gate has completely become a battle, even if the defenders are very brave under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, but in the face of several times their own men and horses, the difficulty of victory is still quite large.
Although there have been many battles in history where less wins more, they are basically based on winning by surprise.
In this case, unless Zhang Xiu can kill a few enemy generals in one fell swoop, he may be able to turn defeat into victory.
It's a pity that Zhang Xiu is already under siege.
The battle at the north gate intensified, the defenders could not withstand the onslaught of Han Sui's army and had to retreat to the city, and the city tower was even stained with Han Sui's army's men and horses, and the remaining defenders on the city wall were already in danger.
If all the troops led by the four generals of Han Sui's army entered the city, the defenders of the north gate would be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated, but fortunately, the defenders of the city resisted hard, so that Han Sui's army could not take the north gate in one fell swoop.
The battle at the North Gate fell into a stalemate, Zhang Xiu sweated in a hurry, and his body wrapped in armor was uncomfortable, which made Zhang Xiu's mood even more irritable.
At this time, a cavalry galloped from the right side of Han Sui's army in the distance, bringing up billowing smoke and dust.
Zhang Xiu's expression was clear...... There are countless enemies, and there has always been room for it, and at the moment, Chang'an City may really not be able to hold it, and maybe I want to send my uncle county out of the city.
When the cavalry approached, Zhang Xiu finally saw the banner of the comer......
I saw a big "Liu" written on the other party's flag, Liu? Is there anyone surnamed Liu under Han Sui's command?
Zhang Xiu seemed to have a sense of euphoria......
Could it be Liu Biao?
"Don't panic, the defenders! Under the Jingzhou pastoral tent, Wen is also hired! ”
While shouting brought hope to Zhang Xiu, it made Liang Xing and others feel a chill in their hearts.
Why did you kill the villain Liu Biao when he was about to succeed?
What is Han Sui doing? If an enemy army arrives without notifying you in advance?
On the battlefield, other people's thoughts and buy Wenpin naturally don't know.
Wen Ping, who rushed to the front, was dressed in black armor, holding an iron spear, and a jujube red war horse under him, exuding a heroic aura all over his body, looking aggressive.
This cavalry passed straight through the middle of Han Sui's army like a long snake like an arrow, and the troops under Xia Hansui's command were halved by everything, and they couldn't care about it, and they were in chaos in an instant.
There is no shortage of cavalry in Han Sui's army, but at the moment, it is a siege, and the cavalry is naturally useless.
Without waiting for Han Suijun to catch his breath, Wen Ping continued to lead his men and horses to turn their horses and launch a fierce attack on the flank.
The formation of the cavalry was like an arrow, and without encountering any resistance, it penetrated through the flanks and completely disrupted the formation of the besieging troops.
The defenders took advantage of the arrival of reinforcements to hit Han Sui's army by surprise, and quickly counterattacked.
The battle began to stalemate again, but the situation was somewhat favorable to the defenders.
Compared with the north gate, the defenders of the east gate of Chang'an were slightly easier, after all, Guo Yan's subordinates were stronger than the people led by Zhang Ji.
After Han Sui had an advantage in the north gate, he no longer tried his best against the east gate, and the reason why the siege troops at the east gate were not transferred away was that he still wanted to drag down the troops in the city, so that Liang Xinghe's candidates would have less resistance.
Han Sui still didn't know that Wen Ping, who was killed halfway, had ruined all the plans.
However, Guo Yan on the city wall was more worried about the safety of the north gate than anyone else, and sent out the expedition non-stop, not to defend the city, but to ...... Once the horse is reported to be lost, he immediately abandons the city and runs away.
Wen hired in a timely manner, if it is delayed, Chang'an will not be guaranteed, and the defenders in the city may be in danger of being killed.
After two attacks by the Wenpin cavalry, Han Sui's troops were already somewhat defeated, and Liang Xing was almost killed by several swords. It was not easy for the candidate to protect him from the city and desperately withdraw from the city.
And Ma Play has no determination to fight to the death when Wen Ping arrives, Ma Play is afraid of death, and it is okay to fight SF Battle, but if you want to fight to the death, you have no courage.
Seeing that the enemy rushed to the east gate under the leadership of several generals, Wen Ping led the cavalry to pursue for a while and then retreated to the city.
Pang De and Yan Xing, who were ordered to block Fan Chou's reinforcements, were not having a good time, Fan Chou originally only had nearly 10,000 cavalry, not a single foot soldier, Pang De and Yan Xing just set up some obstacles at will, and they were stationed steadily, after all, if the cavalry was attacked, it was still better than a foot soldier.
But somehow, they suddenly killed countless foot soldiers, under a big banner of Liu Zi, Yan Xing and Pang De can occupy some advantages in addition to leading the army, but there are many fewer ordinary soldiers, even if they deal with it mentally, the two generals did not get the slightest benefit, and even accidentally fell into a heavy siege.
When Han Sui learned of this situation, he knew that the general trend had gone, and after the candidate was broken, he sent a probe horse to inform Yan Xing, who was blocking the reinforcements, and withdrew with the army, but when he evacuated, he did not inform Ma Teng's people.
Ma Teng is not a fool, hearing such a big movement, and feeling Han Sui's sudden withdrawal, he also knew that something was wrong, and the evacuation was faster than Han Sui.
"Liu Biao'er...... Good means...... Good means! When Ma Teng evacuated, his face was filled with resentment.
Han Sui looked up to the sky and sighed, whipped a whip and led his troops to retreat to the southwest, attacking cities along the way, and slaughtering the people to vent their hatred.
In Han Sui's opinion, now that Liu Biao is meddling, it is impossible to take advantage of the Chang'an territory, since it can't be obtained, then destroy it!
The danger of Chang'an was finally lifted because of the participation of the old fox Liu Biao, no matter what Liu Biao was for, the defenders in the city were also relieved.
Regardless of whether Liu said that he had other calculations or not, being alive was a thing worth celebrating.
After Han Sui and Ma Teng's men and horses evacuated, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others set up a banquet to thank Wen Ping, who led the cavalry, and Wang Wei, who led the infantry to solve Fan Chou's predicament, perhaps by the way, to soothe their frightened hearts.
"Wen saves Chang'an from a crisis, respects the general, and asks the general to drink." Li Wei stood up, raised his glass with both hands, and said to Wen Ping.
Seeing Li Dao standing up, Wen Ping hurriedly picked up the cup and drank it all.
"These are all the orders of my envoy, and hiring is just following orders......
"General Li wants to thank or thank my family envoy for his good ......"
