The general of Zhenbei announced to the Quartet, entering the king of Beijing Qin, which caused a sudden burst of chickens and dogs in Guanzhong, although the king of Nanyang rewarded him in advance, but still could not stop people everywhere from panicking

Seeing that Sima Bao was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood, Zhang Chun disagreed: "Your Majesty, the city of Chang'an is tall and has tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there, even if the Liaodong army hits the city, the last general will never let them easily break through the city." ”

The king of Nanyang was really anxious, and hurriedly ordered: "First send people around to investigate the movements of the Liaodong army, and tell the guards everywhere to guard the city carefully, and never be attacked by the enemy." ”

Just when the king of Nanyang was at a loss, the four-box Liaodong infantry coalition army, under the command of Mao Bao, quickly crossed the dividing line between Feng Yi and Fufeng - Weishui, and went straight to Huayin County west of Tongguan.

Huayin is the gateway to the east of Chang'an, starting from Tongguan in the east, adjacent to Zheng County in the west, Qinling Mountains in the south, and Weishui in the north. Huayin nominally belongs to the jurisdiction of Hongnong County, but whoever occupies Guanzhong will always control the county and Tongguan in the east.

Although the strategic location of Huayin is very important, it can be that there is a natural danger of Tongguan in the east, so there are always few garrisons here.

When Mao Bao led the army to Huayin City, the defenders had long been disheartened, and they had no will to resist at all.

Just after nightfall, Mao Bao commanded the Liaodong Army and quietly came to Huayin City. In order to take Huayin as soon as possible, before Mao Bao sent an elite team to attack the city gate. And he personally led the main force a mile away from the city wall, lying in the weeds and woods, waiting for the horn of the attack.

Because it was a siege battle, the Liaodong Army specially prepared siege equipment, among which well railings, bed crossbows, ballistas and so on are indispensable tools.

In addition to this, several rushing cars were also pulled. The main body of the car is a giant wood hugged by two people, sharpened in front of it, wrapped with several layers of iron sheet, very hard.

If the scout's sneak attack fails and the gate is not captured in time, they have to use a rushing car to break through the gate.

Mao Bao rode on his horse and looked at the dark night, his heart was like water, he really didn't have anything to worry about. The Liaodong Army entered the customs with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and he did not think that the Qinzhou soldiers had any chance.

"General, this time it must be unexpected by the enemy, no one would have thought that the first battle of the Liaodong Army would be chosen in Huayin."

Listening to the words of the record of joining the army, the corners of Mao Bao's mouth couldn't help but show a smile. I can't help but be proud of the plan formulated by the Military Administration, it is easier to capture Huayin than to directly capture Tongguan. As long as Huayin is taken, the connection between Tongguan and Chang'an can be severed, and then the Tongguan defenders will be forced to surrender and reduce the losses of the army.

Since the main force of Qinzhou's soldiers was all concentrated in Chang'an, there were only more than 3,000 defenders in Huayin City.

In order to ensure the success of the sneak attack, Mao Bao sent the elite of the 300 Xiang Army, and with the strong combat power of the Liaodong Army and the low morale of the defenders, they will definitely be able to go down in one go.

Time passed minute by minute, the night deepened, and there was silence outside the city, only the whirring night wind was still blowing, but it added a little silence. The night dew was heavy, and it had already made many Liaodong soldiers drenched.

Just as Mao Bao was looking forward to it, he saw a flash of light in the direction of Huayin, and then several shouts came from afar.

The officers and men of the Liaodong Army were shocked, and everyone realized that the sneak attack was successful!

Mao Bao raised the clairvoyant mirror and was still nervously observing, and the people sent out really did not disappoint him, only to see that Huayin City, which had just been silent, immediately moved, and the noise of the crowd began to resound in the night sky.

Now is the time! Mao Bao pulled out the ring knife on his waist, pointed at the blade, and gave the order: "Attack." ”

With the sound of a passionate horn, the Liaodong army that was hiding and waiting for the order quickly dispatched, and the men and horses in the ambush in the four fields shouted together and rushed up, and the crossbowmen in the front row rushed to the firing range, and they released their arrows together, and countless crossbow arrows were shot at the head of the city.

The defenders at the head of the city had just learned that someone was attacking, and before they had time to react, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city, and hurriedly looked outside the city, only to see a large number of black figures outside the city, shouting and rushing over.

The face of the general on duty changed greatly, and he yelled: "It's not good, someone is sneak attacking, hurry up and ......"

It's a pity that before the words were finished, a powerful arrow that came suddenly pierced his neck, and before the guard could make any reaction, he was shot to the ground and killed directly. Immediately, the rest of the soldiers were also killed and wounded by bows and arrows, and a terrible scream sounded from the top of the city.

was suddenly attacked, and the entire Huayin City was immediately chaotic, and it really responded to the sentence that the catastrophe was coming, and they flew separately!

Except for a small number of Qinzhou soldiers who wanted to take up arms to resist, the first choice of most Qinzhou soldiers was to take the opportunity to escape.

At this time, the Huayin guard had received an urgent report, and hurried to the city wall to take a look, and suddenly his heart was shocked. There are at least 10,000 Liaodong troops outside the city, and the thousands of defenders in the city alone are not opponents in any case, plus the city gate has been lost now, and the city is chaotic and the soldiers have no will to fight, so it is even more impossible to hold Huayin.

The guard is the confidant of the king of Nanyang, and he knows that if he surrenders, there will be no good fruit to eat, even if he has fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage, he can only do the battle of trapped beasts. He decided to personally bring reinforcements from his own troops to the fallen city gates, in an attempt to regain control of the city gates. In addition, he ordered the defenders at the head of the city to suppress the Liaodong army outside the city with bows and arrows as much as possible, and prevent the Liaodong army outside the city from approaching Huayin City.

It's a pity that Huayin's guard general reacted a step slower after all, and when he led his own soldiers to the city gate, he happened to bump into Mao Bao, who was in the lead.

When the guard saw the general of Liaodong coming, he immediately waved his spear and stepped forward, trying to carry out a sneak attack while Mao Bao was not paying attention.

The guard obviously doesn't know Mao Bao, with Mao Bao's martial arts, how can he be succeeded by a nobody?

When the guard's spear stabbed Mao Bao in the chest, Mao Bao unhurriedly tilted his body with the help of his horse, and the tip of the spear stabbed him under the ribs.

Mao Bao took advantage of the left arm and grabbed the body of the gun, and then pulled out the ring head knife with his right hand and slashed out like lightning, only to hear a pop, the blade slashed through the guard's skin, and cut off the opponent's head in the blink of an eye.

The defender's mount continued on his way, but after a few steps, the corpse fell from his horse's back and fell heavily to the ground.

"Pass the order: resist and kill, surrender and avoid death!" Mao Bao glanced at the corpse of the guard with disdain and ordered.

"Whoever resists will be killed! Surrender or die! ”

As more and more Liaodong troops poured into Huayin City, more and more defenders chose to surrender. When the sky was about to dawn, the Battle of Huayin ended with the Liaodong Army successfully seizing the city and the defenders surrendering completely. The Liaodong Army had strict discipline and did not disturb the people, and the local people did not panic much.

Even some bold people, after dawn, walked out of their homes trembling, and looked at the Liaodong soldiers patrolling the streets with some curiosity.

Mao Bao, who had just taken Huayin, was not satisfied, and he quickly sent people to Tongguan to persuade him to surrender in accordance with the deployment of the Military Administration. As long as Tongguan is in hand, the security of the eastern side of the Liaodong Army will be guaranteed.

Mao Bao believed that once the defenders of Tongguan learned the news of the loss of Huayin, they would be terrified, and the prestige of the Liaodong Army would definitely scare the enemy into surrendering without a fight.

In fact, as Mao Bao expected, when the news of the loss of Huayin reached Tongguan, the Tongguan guards turned pale with fright, and at this time, the advance of the Liaodong Army arrived at Tongguan.

The guard general looked at the black pressure under the pass and suppressed a Liaodong army, and completely lost the will to resist.

In fact, since Liaodong raised troops to announce a crusade against the king of Nanyang, the morale of the Qinzhou soldiers began to plummet. Except for a small number of henchmen of the King of Nanyang who planned to fight to the end, most of the Qinzhou soldiers had no intention of confronting Liaodong.

In recent years, the Liaodong Army has been famous, not only the Hulu everywhere are terrified, but also the Qinzhou soldiers who are also the Jin army are also frightened. Even with Xiongguan in hand, the defenders did not have much confidence, so when the news of the loss of Huayin came, the defenders completely collapsed.

In the face of the Liaodong Army, which was pressing step by step under the city, the defenders of Tongguan had no intention of fighting, and had no choice but to surrender.

Moreover, in the eyes of most Qinzhou soldiers, there is nothing to worry about surrendering the Liaodong Army, everyone belongs to the Jin Army, which is much better than surrendering Hulu.

Soon, the news of the Liaodong Army's raid on Huayin and Tongguan spread all over the country, and many people were shocked when they learned the news. No one expected that the Liaodong Army would move so quickly, and in just a few days, it even went down to Huayin and Tongguan.

Sima Bao of Chang'an learned that Tongguan was lost, and he no longer thought that Chang'an was safe, and no longer thought about sticking to Chang'an, so he planned to lead the army back to Qinzhou. (To be continued.) )
