Chapter 215: The Gathering of Storms

Han Jin nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile: "Yuan Chang is wrong, he took the city at night, but not the siege!" ”

Xi Zhicai followed Han Jin at the earliest, and vaguely knew something, but Guo Jia didn't know what medicine Han Jin was selling in the gourd, but seeing the smiles on Han Jin and Xi Zhicai's faces, he seemed to have guessed something.

The three days passed quickly, the sky soon darkened, and the sunset gradually receded, leaving the bare earth and an empty space.

In the past three days, Han Jin has not attacked the city, nor has he called for battle, he is comfortable, and Dong Zhuo will not go out to provoke him. In the past three days, Han Jin only ruled out one person and sent a letter through the east gate, and did nothing else.

The night sky was unusually quiet.

In the evening, Han Jin summoned his generals and ordered the siege of the city.

"Yide, Xingba, Zilong, you three with cavalry, ready at any time, as long as the city gate opens, immediately kill, remember, the sleeves with white cloth are their own people, don't kill the mistake, after entering the city, Yide and Xingba respectively seize the north and south gates, Zilong led the troops to attack the palace. Divide the troops into three ways to rush back and forth! ”

"Gao Shun, I heard that Dong Zhuo has an army under his command, called the Flying Bear Army, which is Dong Zhuo's most powerful army, to deal with them, I will hand it over to you, as far as I know, this army is particularly loyal to Dong Zhuo, you be careful!"

"The rest of the generals, after leading the rest of the foot soldiers into the city, follow the general's orders!"

In Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo's army was divided into two camps, east and west. Each had a large army of 30,000. In the west camp, Huaxiong set up a banquet and invited Zhang Ji to a banquet.

"General Hua, now that the war situation is tense, how can you still be interested in drinking and having fun!" Zhang Jiyue asked a little uneasily, he didn't know what was going on, since early in the morning, he felt a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Hua Xiong laughed and said: "Brother, I think you are overly nervous, this war has not started yet, you will not eat or drink, how can you support it, come, whether you fight or not, this meal always has to be eaten, this is a good wine from the lord, a glass to the elder brother!"

Hua Xiong raised his glass to invite Zhang Ji to drink, Zhang Ji shook his head, temporarily put aside the worries in his heart, raised his glass and drank it all. Hua Xiong laughed secretly, took the opportunity to pour out the wine, and glanced at the deputy general below, who was Hua Xiong's confidant and knew what Hua Xiong meant. hurriedly filled a cup for Zhang Ji, and said with a smile: "General Zhang is famous for not getting drunk with a thousand cups, and he is like a god with soldiers." The young general has always admired the general, and now he has the opportunity, but he has to ask General Zhang for advice, and I hope the general will not hesitate to give advice! Come, the last general will first toast General Zhang! ”

Everyone loves to hear good words, and Zhang Ji is no exception. Listening to the flattery of the adjutant general, he immediately laughed and said: "General Hua, your subordinates are the most cute, if you want me to drink, just say it!" And beat around the bush! He said this, but took the wine and drank it down.

Under Hua Xiong's conscious frenzy, soon, Zhang Ji was drunk. Seeing that it was not early outside, Hua Xiong sneered and ordered: "Brothers, do it!" ”

Several of his subordinates immediately stepped forward and tied up Zhang Ji, who was lying on the seat and only snoring. With Hua Xiong walked out.

"The day has finally come! Brethren, do a great job tonight! Hua Xiong looked at the dark and shiny night sky outside and exhaled.

After several years of hard work, Huaxiong also has his own team.

Seeing that it was already the third watch, Hua Xiong got on the horse and carried the knife, and looked at the sky in the distance where a bright spot suddenly appeared, and the corners of his eyebrows not only brought a smile.

"Sons, let's go, go for a walk!" Hua Xiong took a group of henchmen and generals and walked to the west of the city.

"General Hua, why do you have time to come here??" Seeing Hua Xiong coming, Fan Chou greeted him with a smile, both of them have been Dong Zhuo's subordinates for many years, and their relationship has always been very good.

Hua Xiong laughed loudly, and said arrogantly: "It's boring in the camp, come out to breathe." ”

After speaking, he suddenly jumped off the horse, grabbed Fan Chou's arm and whispered: "Brother, come here, tell you good news!" ”

Fan Chou suddenly became curious, and smiled: "What good news do you have, is your mother-in-law agreeing to your double flight?" ”

"You bastard, you don't have any good words in your mouth, come here, talk here!" Hua Xiong's scolding not only did not make Fan Chou angry, but provoked Fan Chou to put his mind at ease, this is the former Hua Xiong!

Thinking about following Hua Xiong to a house, Hua Xiong motioned to the deputy general to leave Fan Chou's personal soldiers outside.

"Brother, if there's any good news, tell me quickly!" Everyone has curiosity, and Fan Chou is no exception.

Hua Xiong looked left and right, made a gesture, and motioned for Fan Chou to listen, Fan Chou complained: "What a secret, it's still so mysterious!" As he spoke, he tilted his head over.

The corners of Hua Xiong's mouth flashed a ruthless color, and he suddenly raised his hand and turned into a palm, and tapped it on the back of Fan Chou's head. Before Fan Chou could react, he fainted.

Hua Xiong sneered, searched for the token from Fan Chou's body, and shouted in a big way: "Someone! ”

Hearing this, Fan Chou's four pro-soldiers hurriedly jumped in.

"General Fan suddenly fainted, you hurry up and help him up!" Hua Xiong's anxious look made the four pro-soldiers hurriedly walk over without thinking too much.

As soon as his body was supported towards Fan Chou, he felt a flash of the knife, and with a few "poofs", the four of them were all killed by Hua Xiong with one knife.

Hua Xiong wiped the blood stains on the knife with the placket of his clothes, stepped on one of the people who was staring at him, and walked out.

"Kaesong, I'm going to have something to do!" Hua Xiong held up Fan Chou's token and commanded in a low voice.

The soldiers guarding the gate recognized Hua Xiong, and when they saw him holding the token in his hand, although they were puzzled, they still opened the city gate. Hua Xiong was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded to the lieutenant general, who immediately lit three torches on the city wall. The bright flames tore through the camouflage of the night in an instant.

Zhang Fei and the three of them, who were on standby in the distance, were overjoyed when they saw it, roared, and raised their black horses to kill at the city gate.

In the palace, Dong Zhuo set up a banquet, talked about world affairs with hundreds of officials, hugged all palace maids left and right, and was completely intoxicated by wine and songs.

Li Ru looked at everything in front of him, his heart was full of disdain, but when he saw Lu Bu out of the corner of his eye, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. At that moment, my eyes rolled and I thought about it.

Raised a glass of wine and said to everyone: "Wen Hou, I salute you with a glass!" ”

Lu Bu was suddenly a little flattered, Dong Zhuo has always attached great importance to him, but if he is a real confidant, it must be Li Ru.

Lu Bu hurriedly stood up, raised his glass and saluted, and drank it all.

However, just then, a soldier stumbled in.

"My lord, something is wrong, the enemy ...... The enemy has come in! The city is full of enemies! Please make a decision early! ”

Dong Zhuo was shocked, and with a "dang long" sound, the cup in his hand fell to the ground at that time, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"How many enemies are there? How did you get into town? Seeing Dong Zhuo, he was stunned for a while. Li Ru hurriedly asked.

"It was General Hua who put it in, and General Hua reversed!" The spy's words, like a golden thunder, exploded in everyone's hearts, and everyone was stunned. Will Huaxiong betray? Dong Zhuo had just come back to his senses, but he was stunned by the news.

Now the enemy's army has broken through Xicheng, the entire western camp has surrendered, and the north and south gates are still resisting, but the enemy army is strong, and both sides are almost unable to resist!"

The spies' words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, but Dong Zhuo, who was stupid on the spot, suddenly sobered up.

"What are you doing standing, hurry up and get them out!" When Dong Zhuo's roar resounded throughout the hall, the generals who had already drunk seven or eight points had just reacted, and suddenly, they staggered out with a grunt.

Dong Zhuo walked around anxiously with his hands crossed, constantly scolding in his mouth, but he didn't know who he was scolding.

"Don't worry, the father-in-law is here, and he will definitely report to the father-in-law for his safety!" Lu Bu's words, thinking of a reassurance, Dong Zhuo nodded, looked at Lu Bu's distant figure, and slightly relieved. He had a long confidence in Yoshiko's bravery, but when he thought that the opponent he faced this time was Han Jin. But he still jumped twice in his heart.

At this time, Chang'an City had already been shouting and killing, and with Hua Xiong leading the Western Battalion to completely rebel, the city gate was opened. Everything seems to be predestined. Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, and Zhao Yun led the troops to kill them, and Zhao Yun and Gan Ning led people to kill the south gate and the north gate respectively.

Gan Ning took 10,000 iron horses, kicked and stepped on the bluestone slabs on the street, and killed the north gate like a storm, the north gate guard was Hu Zhen, who had already gotten the news at this time, and was riding a horse, dancing with a spear and a sentry to guard the city gate, just looking at his swaying figure and the smell of wine spit out from time to time in his mouth, he knew that he must have drunk a bitter drink just now.

As the saying goes: wine can strengthen people's courage, Hu Zhen's martial arts are not very good, but at this time, under the stimulation of wine, he increased his self-confidence by twelve points, and the moment he saw Gan Ning, he suddenly jumped forward.

"The traitor dares to deceive me, since he has come to die, he will blame his grandfather for being ruthless under the gun!" It should be said that Hu Zhen was very sad, because Dong Zhuo didn't take him with him when he followed Han Jin to the west, so he didn't know Gan Ning, and the result was that Gan Ning was just a stinky pawn in his eyes.

In fact, Gan Ning's size is really not very tall and mighty in front of Hu Zhen. As for Hu Zhen, he was eager to show himself in front of Dong Zhuo.

You must know that Dong Zhuo's subordinates are star-studded, before entering Luoyang, Hua Xiong is known as the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao is the first trusted general under Dong Zhuo, after Lu Bu surrendered, he naturally occupied the second, but he Hu Zhen still ranked low among the generals, which made him very unwilling. Therefore, seeing that Gan Ning's game was unfamiliar, and he had just drunk some wine, he rushed up for a while.

Gan Ning saw it, naturally overjoyed, and saw that this person should be a general, in this case, capture the thief first capture the king, kill this person first, the rest are naturally frightened, if you can capture the city gate earlier, maybe you can meet that Lu Bu for a while!

In the first battle a few days ago, Gan Ning did not have a chance to fight with Lu Bu, which made Gan Ning very regretful.

Thinking of this, looking at the oncoming Hu Zhen, Gan Ning showed a smile.

Boy, this first merit of Chang'an, just exchange your head for it!

When his thoughts changed, the iron rope in his hand had already flown out, he intended to kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey, and the shot was a trick, pursuing a one-hit kill. The shot was accurate and ruthless, and almost ninety percent of his skills were used.

At the same time, Hu Zhen's snatch stabbed out. He was still very confident in his martial arts, but as soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was one, and as soon as the spear in his hand was stretched out a third of the way, he felt the murderous aura of the iron rope in Gan Ning's hand, and the speed simply made him chill.

Frightened, Hu Zhen's drunkenness immediately went to seven points, seeing that the chasing iron rope was in front of him, it was too late to collect the gun and block it, and in a hurry, he bit his steel teeth, and the spear resolutely stabbed out, praying to attack instead of defending, encircling Wei to save Zhao, and shooting with all his strength with the idea of losing both.

If you want to say that Hu Zhen's skills are still good, if you want to fight Gan Ning in normal times, even if Gan Ning wins, it will definitely be after thirty or forty rounds. However, Hu Zhen forgot that he was drunk driving, drunk driving a spear, at that time naturally would not break the law, but he would die.

As a result, Hu Zhen's gun had not yet reached the front of Gan Ning, but Gan Ning's iron rope had already pierced Hu Zhen's throat. Hu Zhen felt a pain in his throat, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be sucked dry, and the spear that stabbed out no longer had half of its strength. And the tip of the spear was only two or three centimeters away from Gan Ning's heart. His throat thumped as he tried to say something. In the end, his hands were weak, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Gan Ning made a fool of the local general, but he didn't stop, he just made people shout: "Dong Zhuo is dead, General Zhenxi's army has been killed, and those who surrender will not die!" ”

The 10,000 Xuanjia elite cavalry did not stop, and some of the soldiers who were still hesitating with Hu Zhen rushed in front of them, and they were scattered by the non-stop Ganning army, and some of them didn't even have time to stab the weapons in their hands, they were cut to the ground with a knife, and then trampled into flesh by the horses.

Without dragging the mud, and not giving the enemy time and space to hesitate and hesitate, the main purpose of the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry is very simple, that is, slaughter, when you kill you without confidence and no ability to resist, you will naturally surrender convincingly, which has almost become the unwritten rule of the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry.

With the leadership of a good hand like Gan Ning, he killed the enemy general as soon as he came up, and the soldiers guarding the door were suddenly demoralized.

Of course, I have to say that Dong Zhuo's treatment of the Xiliang army under his hand is still good, most of these people dare to be a little loyal to Dong Zhuo, at the beginning, they launched a stubborn resistance, for the Xuanjia elite cavalry shouted, just a suspicious attitude, but the five thousand defenders, in the face of the ruthless killing of 10,000 Xuanjia elite cavalry, and there is no effective command of the general, its fate and results are obvious, less than a cup of tea, more than 1,000 people in front of them have died, Gan Ning picked up the iron rope and flew up and down, the current road, Later, the Xuanjia spirit rode into the enemy group in the shape of an awl, and then several people in groups harvested the lives of the enemy.

In the face of the ruthless and unilateral slaughter, even if they were as brave as the Xiliang army, they finally couldn't hold on. In the end, some people couldn't resist the combat power of the Xuanjia elite cavalry, and some listened to the shouts of Dong Zhuo's death all over the city, and their hearts were like ashes, so they threw away their weapons and surrendered. Of course, there are also those who take the opportunity to slip away and fish in troubled waters. To say that the combat power of the Xiliang army is indeed good, but they have a fatal shortcoming, that is, the military discipline is loose, Dong Zhuo has always bought people's hearts with rewards, this point, although when winning the battle, can stimulate the combat power of the soldiers, but when faced with defeat, it is difficult for them to organize effective resistance, especially when there is no command of the generals. It almost became a swarm of bees, fleeing in all directions.

Gan Ning was very lucky, he met Hu Zhen, and his means of capturing the thief and capturing the king first also worked to the fullest, so in less than half an hour, the entire north gate was completely under his control. Leaving a part of the men and horses to defend the city, Gan Ning led the rest of the army to the palace to kill, where is the main battlefield, and capturing Dong Zhuo is the first achievement.

Everyone likes credit, even the famous general Gan Ning in history naturally has a heart for fame and fortune.

Unlike his luck, Zhao Yun met Xu Rong, who was guarding the south gate.

Xu Rong, a native of Xiangping, Liaodong (Liaoyang, Liaoning), was an excellent commander in the early Eastern Han Dynasty who defeated Cao Ying and Sun Jian. Although he is considered to be a native of Hyunsu County (present-day northern Korea) in the Zizhi Tongjian. But in the Three Kingdoms? In the Biography of Gongsun Du", we can find such content, "Gongsun Du's character is shengji, and the people of Xiangping in Liaodong are also." Xu Rong of the same county is Dong Zhuo Zhonglang general, and the recommended degree is Liaodong Taishou. That is to say, Gongsun Du and Xu Rong are fellow villagers, and Gongsun Du is from Xiangping, Liaodong, so Xu Rong can only be from Xiangping, Liaodong. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Rong is a third-rate general who was handed over several times by Xiahoudun and beheaded under the horse, but there are often discrepancies between romance and history. Xu Rong in history can be described as a famous fierce man. His record is jaw-dropping. Although his records are few, they are enough to make him one of the first-line generals of the Three Kingdoms.

What he is best at is not martial arts, but the ability to lead soldiers. Before the army entered the city, Han Jin had already inquired about the generals of the four cities through secret agents, which was why Han Jin sent Zhao Yun to the southern city.

Although Dong Zhuo held a banquet in the palace, Xu Rong did not participate, and he has always been conscientious. Since Dong Zhuo sent him to take charge of Nancheng, he had to be foolproof. Maybe in the eyes of others, Dong Zhuo is a thief, but in Xu Rong's eyes, Dong Zhuo has the grace of knowing him. Death for a confidant! Han Jin's troops were coming to the city, and he didn't dare to be careless at all. Of course, for this famous general of Zhenxi, Xu Rong actually has a competitive mind in his heart.

When the army arrived, Xu Rong also got the news that his 5,000 troops were already lined up for the enemy.

"The heavenly soldiers have arrived, and you will not be captured yet, when will you wait?" Zhao Yun shouted, and the white horse silver spear rushed over with murderous energy. Behind him, the 10,000 Xuanjia elite riders did not stop, and rushed towards Xu Rong head-on.

Xu Rong saw that the other party was coming like a flood, but he was not frightened, waved the spear in his hand, stepped forward, met the enemy with the spear, and put down the horse.

Zhao Yun sneered, suddenly turned the horse's head, changed direction, and bypassed in front of Xu Rong's army, and at the same time took off the bow and arrow, put the bow on the arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, a sharp arrow had already penetrated the throat of a soldier in the front row. The soldiers behind all followed suit, bent their bows and arrows, and 10,000 long arrows shot in a volley, and in an instant, more than 1,000 people became hedgehogs.

Xu Rong looked at the corpse in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes for a while.

"Run!" The others really didn't expect that Han Jin's subordinates actually had soldiers with such strong combat power, his eyes were wide open, and he was a little stunned for a while. However, after all, he had super command ability, and in an instant, he recovered his mind, but when he came back to his senses, the second round of arrows of the Xuanjia Spirit Cavalry had already been shot.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield!"
