Chapter 264: The Siege (2)
One day after the siege of the city by Li Dao, Guo Yan and Yang Ding, on the night of May 29, under the secret guidance of Ji Ping, Lü Busheng attacked the east and west, planted the Lü Zi banner on the Nan'an Gate of Chang'an City, and rumbled with drums, as if he wanted to rush out to fight, attracting the most elite Li Dao and Guo Bi troops outside the city.
As for Lu Bu himself, he secretly led two thousand elites to secretly attack from the Hengmen in the north of the city.
In this battle, Lu Bu broke Yang Ding's soldiers and horses outside the city, Yang Ding's soldiers and horses originally had some new soldiers, and the combat strength was uneven, but he didn't expect Chang'an City to dare to take the initiative to attack, and he was not fully prepared at night, and was directly defeated by the brave Lu Bu and his troops.
When Li Dao Guo Yan heard the sound and hesitated, Lu Bu not only broke the 2,500 soldiers and horses that Yang Ding was guarding outside the Hengmen, but also defeated the 1,000 reinforcements from the adjacent Yongmen in the northwest, and then Lu Bu took the courage to chase after the adjacent other gate, the north kitchen city gate.
Whether it is the Hengmen Gate or the Kitchen City Gate, they are all in the north of Chang'an City, close to the Wei River.
When Lu Bu fought Hengmen, under the dispatch of Ji Ping, Pan Feng also crossed the river from the north of the Wei River and hit the Kitchen City Gate.
In the middle of the night, countless Liangzhou soldiers cried and jumped into the Wei River, and the rest were basically killed, and some soldiers were collected by a special person who came with Pan Feng, the former Zhonglang under Dong Zhuo, and secretly retreated to the north bank of the Wei River.
When Li Dao Guo Yan's cavalry arrived at Hengmen, Lu Bu and Pan Feng had already broken through the Liangzhou soldiers outside the Chucheng Gate, and then went all the way east along the north city wall and directly attacked the Luocheng Gate.
At the time of the battle between Hengmen and Chucheng Gate, the guards inside the Los Angeles Gate had already been trusted. The defender here is Song Xian under the command of Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu and Pan Feng arrived at the battle outside the gate of Luocheng, Song Xian opened the city gate and led his troops to rush out. Under the combination of inside and outside, the Liangzhou soldiers outside the Luocheng Gate broke up faster.
By the time Li Dao Guo Yan felt that outside the Luocheng Gate, Lu Bu had calmly entered the city through the Luocheng Gate, while Pan Feng had already crossed the Wei River in a boat prepared in advance.
Although Li Dao Guo Yan had cavalry, he was helpless, and in the middle of the night, he did not dare to chase indiscriminately. He could only give up, and set aside part of his forces to besiege the three gates of Chang'an North City.
In this battle, Yang was destined to be great, and once again escaped. However, the more than 8,000 soldiers under his command who besieged the three gates of the northern city of Chang'an were all defeated, and the dead and wounded fled innumerable, and when he tried to collect the remnants of the army at dawn, he found that there were less than 500.
What they don't know is. Eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers. In addition to those who were killed, those who jumped into Weishui and drowned, there were nearly two thousand routs who were secretly collected by Xu Rong.
Xu Rong was originally a native of Xuanwu in Liaodong, and was recruited to crusade against the Yellow Turban, and was promoted and reused by Dong Zhuo because of his bravery, but he was not in the same faction as the Liangzhou people such as Hu Zhen, Li Dao, and Guo Yan under Dong Zhuo, and was squeezed out by the Liangzhou people when he was under Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, Xu Rong was surrendered by Wang Yun. After the Liangzhou people raised troops, Xu Rong was sent by Wang Yun to appease Hu Zhen, who had invaded Jingzhaoyin.
In fact, Xu Rong has long been targeted by Ji Ping, and this person under Dong Zhuo is also the only general that Ji Ping wants to recruit, just when Xu Rong was sent out of the city by Wang Yun, Ji Ping sent the Shadow Division to secretly contact Xu Rong and warn him to be careful not to prevent Hu Zhen from turning his face and making a move, sure enough, Xu Rong arrived in Jingzhao and was directly ordered to attack by Hu Zhen without saying a word.
Xu Rong, who had been prepared, fled under Pan Feng's instigation, and at this point, he was not recognized by the people of Liangzhou, and was refrigerated and rejected by Wang Yun, so he could only submit to Ji Ping and act with Pan Feng.
In the night battle in the north of Chang'an City, Xu Rong took the opportunity to use his reputation in Dong Zhuo's army to collect the defeated troops, but he also gained a lot of money.
In addition, the most prominent person in this battle is Gao Shun, after several years of secret training and conquest, Gao Shun's 700 trapping camp has been initially formed, in this battle, all the attack, even breaking the Liangzhou people's defense line, so that Lu Bu is almost invincible.
After Lu Bu returned to the city victoriously, the morale in Chang'an City was greatly boosted, and the people rushed to celebrate, and even Wang Yun's solemn face had a little smile.
On May 30, Lu Bu wanted to repeat his old tricks again, but at this time, a force of nearly 10,000 people arrived from Zuo Feng Yi in the north, and it was Dong Zhuo's old general Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses have been on the battlefield for a long time, extremely fierce, far from being comparable to those miscellaneous soldiers of Yang Ding, Lu Bu tried to go out of the city to attack, but the harvest was not big, but on the contrary, he lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and had to retreat to Chang'an.
On the first day of the first month of June, Hu Zhen led 60,000 Liangzhou infantry to arrive day and night, and the Liangzhou people were greatly invigorated and surrounded Chang'an City.
Outside Chang'an City, the war horses neighed, there were seventy or eighty thousand people densely packed, and there was a steady stream of Liangzhou people coming from the direction of the eastern part of the country, at this time the brave and fierce Lu Bu did not dare to go out of the city, the two people of Liangzhou hated the most were him and Wang Yun, if he rushed out of the city, I am afraid that he would be besieged to death immediately, and he would be eaten alive.
Fortunately, the city wall of Chang'an is tall, and even though there are 70,000 or 80,000 people in Liangzhou, there are no siege equipment, and it is difficult to attack for a while.
After Hu Zhen arrived, he was followed by Jia Xu, plus Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Yang Ding, and a group of Liangzhou generals swore an alliance together and vowed to avenge Dong Zhuo.
Among them, Hu Zhen's original position was the highest, he was a lieutenant, and the other generals were all captains, and Hu Zhen had the most troops, several times more than other generals, but among the Liangzhou infantry soldiers he brought, there were also many old troops of Li Dao and Guo Yan, but the infantry and cavalry were separated from Luoyang, and now they are under the command of Li Dao Guo Yan, and Jia Xu and Zhang Ji's forces are not much weaker, so except for Hu Zhen's slightly higher status, the status of the rest is considered equal.
If you let Ji Ping know, you can know that this is different from the original history, and he was greatly influenced by him, Dong Yue was not killed in the original history, plus Hedong was in the hands of Dong Zhuo, Kwantung did not need too many generals, Hu Zhen stayed in Chang'an and not in Kwantung, after Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, Hu Zhen also returned to Wang Yun. After Li Dao and Guo Yan raised troops, Wang Yun sent Hu Zhen and Xu Rong to Xinfeng County to fight Li Guo, but Xu Rong was killed in battle and Hu Zhen surrendered. After surrendering, he naturally had no status, and on the follow-up stage, Hu Zhen also disappeared. In the end, it was Jia Xu who retreated into the background, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji became the four leaders of the Liangzhou people, and they were rampant.
Now it is different, Dong Yue, who was originally guarding Michi, was killed by Ji Ping early, and Fan Chou was also killed, Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen to Kanto, and Hu Zhen was in power to have his current status.
Tens of thousands of Liangzhou people besieged Chang'an City, but suffered from the lack of siege equipment, even though the strength in the city was thin, but had to stop under the city, the elite cavalry did not play much role in the siege.
As a result, the people of Liangzhou forcibly recruited the strong men around to build siege equipment such as ladders, which took several days.
Lu Bu watched the people of Liangzhou swaggering outside the city to build equipment, but he was helpless.
When the Liangzhou people invaded Guanzhong, they were basically tens of thousands of people in a swarm, and after breaking through the Song Wing, the original Xu Rong soldiers and horses surrendered, and many Liangzhou Qiang and Hu soldiers did not have time to compile, so they were crowded and rushed to Chang'an.
Hu Zhen is not a general, in this chaotic situation, the commander of the soldiers is powerless, and even the original organization has become scattered in the day and night rush. Even though Jia Xu is resourceful, he is helpless in the face of a swarm of Qianghu soldiers, after all, it is 100,000 people.
When Hu Zhen rushed to the city of Chang'an, he didn't know that behind them, there were already two more banners, constantly gathering the scattered Qiang Hu soldiers, and gradually growing. (To be continued.) )
