A cavalry battle at the eastern end of the Weiqiao ended with the victory of the Youzhou cavalry and the retreat of the Xiliang cavalry.

However, this victory was not easy, and the number of casualties of the Youzhou cavalry exceeded forty percent, so there were only more than 5,000 cavalry left to follow Zhao Yun and Zhang He to meet the reinforcements of Guo Yan and Fan Chou.

However, even the remaining 5,000 or so cavalry were not the 20,000 infantry sent by Guo Yan and Fan Chou who could resist them.

At this time, although the number of Youzhou cavalry has decreased, but their morale is like a rainbow, they have just experienced a cruel baptism and defeated the Xiliang cavalry that once swept through the Jingfu region, how can they be afraid of Xiliang's infantry at this time?

In this battle, the performance of the five hundred black-armored iron cavalry was particularly eye-catching, which not only greatly deterred the enemy army and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiliang cavalry, but also greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the Youzhou cavalry, especially the Wuhuan cavalry, who were still a little hesitant, to realize the determination to win.

It can be said that after this bloody battle, although the number of cavalry under Zhao Yun's command has decreased by nearly forty percent, what remains in the bloody battle are more elite and powerful soldiers, and the overall combat effectiveness has been improved by a full level.

Zhao Yun and Zhang He each led more than 2,000 cavalry, lined up in a sharp offensive formation, and rushed to the Xiliang infantry who rushed to reinforce without hesitation.

After an instant, another gust of bloody rain and bloody wind drifted outside Chang'an City.

At the head of the city, Hou Cheng looked into the distance, and could faintly hear the terrible screams of the soldiers, the neighing of the wounded war horses, and the shouts of killing wave after wave.

"Huh, ......, reinforcements have finally arrived, and Chang'an City is safe!"

Hou Changcheng sighed. Hurriedly went to the south gate where Lu Bu was located and reported this important military situation to him.

The Xiliang infantry that came to reinforce was quickly dispersed by the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Zhang He. It was impossible to get close to the Shen Xi Army led by Xu Rong and the Luoyang Forbidden Army led by Huangfu Song. Li Wei, who was hiding in the camp, saw that the reinforcements could not get close, and immediately reorganized the cavalry under his command. wanted to use the remaining cavalry to disperse the infantry formation of Xu Rong and Huangfu Song, but they were blocked by the Iron Tribulus Array, and thousands of cavalry and war horses were lost in vain.

After Liu He tasted the sweetness of using thistle terrestris in Youzhou, he immediately sent someone to Nanyang to send a letter to Tian Chou, asking him to secretly organize the craftsmen to seize the time to produce a batch and reserve it as a war resource.

Nanyang is the most prosperous county of Dahan Steel, and the number of blacksmiths is the highest in the country. Even if it is in one Danshui County, hundreds of them can be found. They only need to make a few molds according to the set specifications, and they can produce this gadget in large quantities.

Tian Chou led the Shen Xi army to reinforce this time, in addition to bringing enough food and weapons and armor, this kind of thistle terrestris also brought hundreds of boxes, and now it is finally waiting for the opportunity to use it.

The Flying Bear Army under Li Dao's command was pitted by Zhao Yun with an iron thistle not long ago, and just now it was beaten back to the prototype by the black armor iron horse, and now it is blocked by patches of iron thistles, and the remaining fighting spirit has completely dissipated. Hiding in the camp and never daring to fight again.

In order to preserve their strength, Zhao Yun and Zhang He led their troops to defeat the rebel reinforcements who rushed to reinforce them, and then they no longer pursued, but retreated. Together with the troops of Xu Rong and Huangfu Song, they continued to confront the rebels outside the north gate across the camp.

That night, Guo Jia expected that the enemy army would attack the camp. Therefore, it is recommended that Xu Rong and Huangfu Song lay traps and various tricks in the camp, and make various preparations to lure the enemy deep and catch turtles in the urn.

It's midnight. Zhang Ji, who had never participated in the battle during the day, really led 10,000 troops to attack the camp, but ran headlong into various traps arranged by Guo Jia himself. After paying nearly 4,000 lives, he fled back in a sad way.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew were also unlucky, first Zhang Xiu was beaten by Zhao Yun all over the ground looking for teeth, and then Zhang Ji was severely calculated by Guo Jia, and this time he tasted all the hardships.

At dawn, Zhao Yun and Zhang He each led a small group of cavalry to attack the Fan Chou military camp and Guo Yan's military camp outside the West Gate, but the result was surprisingly smooth, causing great trouble for Fan Chou and Guo Yan.

The defenders at the head of the city have been staring at the movement outside the city with their eyes and ears pricked up, and they heard the shouts of killing on the north gate resounding in the sky for a while, and then they heard the neighing of horses at the west gate, and then they saw the fire outside the east gate, and they felt that the outside of the city was even more lively than the New Year.

Lu Bu, who got the news, personally accompanied Wang Yun and Ma Riyan and other bigwigs from the DPRK and China to the city tower to observe outside, and everyone was happy, wishing that the more chaotic the fight outside the city, the better.

After dawn, the outside of the city finally stopped, everyone was probably tired, wounded, disabled, in short, they all honestly returned to their respective camps to heal and recuperate, and could no longer muster the strength to continue to attack Chang'an City.

Throughout the day, there was silence outside Chang'an City, spent in a dull and oppressive atmosphere.

At night, Li Wei personally led the army out of the camp to attack Xu Rong and Huangfu Song's troops, and Guo Yan and Fan Chou also personally led the crowd to help in the battle, only to find that Xu Rong and Huangfu Song's troops had lost their traces, and the cavalry led by Zhao Yun had also disappeared.

The three-way army pounced and returned to their respective camps, and suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the south gate, but it was Zhang Ji's troops who were attacked by Zhao Yun. Guo Yan and Fan Chou, who were closer to the south gate, hurriedly sent troops to rescue Zhang Ji, but they were ambushed by Xu Rong and Huangfu Song's troops.

That night, Zhang Jijun suffered heavy losses, which had seriously affected the task of continuing to attack the south gate of Chang'an.

After dawn, Guo Jia volunteered to go to Li Dao's camp for a showdown. Zhao Yun did not agree to Guo Jia's request, for fear that the top military advisor who Gongzi had captured with great difficulty would be folded in the enemy camp, and not only would he not be able to explain to Liu He at that time, but he would also be unhappy in his conscience.

During this time, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun have gotten along very happily. Zhao Yun's bravery and wit impressed Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's endless strategies also made Zhao Yun admire, both of them felt that it was a fortunate thing to be able to cooperate with each other, so they cherished the opportunity to work together, and tried to solve the Chang'an problem beautifully and thoroughly.

Guo Jia comforted Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhao doesn't have to worry about me. Guo went to Li Dao's camp here, and he would definitely not receive any criticism. Li Dao is not a brave and unscrupulous horseman. He could not have been embarrassed by a scribe who had not made a statement. It's a great achievement to go to see Li Dao this time, so you let me pick up this bargain! ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "It's because the reputation of Fengxiao hasn't spread yet. So I'm even more worried that Li Dao will vent his anger on you in a fit of anger. Before leaving Tongguan, Gongzi specially explained to me that your safety cannot be compromised at all, so you can't go to Li Dao's camp this time. ”

Because Zhao Yun was the most authorized general by Liu He, he insisted on not letting Guo Jia go to Li Wei's camp, and Guo Jia naturally couldn't go.

In the end, Zhao Yun asked Xu Rong to come forward, and he went to Li Wei's camp to be responsible for negotiating with Li Wei.

Xu Rong and Li Wei used to work together. They are more familiar with each other, and they don't need to talk about it after meeting Li Dao, and they can directly put the armistice conditions of the two sides on the table to talk, and there is no need to go around and waste time.

After Li Wei saw Xu Rong, his attitude was quite polite, and he didn't mean to be embarrassed on purpose. After yesterday's fierce battle, Li Dao has recognized the strength of this army outside the city, and he doesn't want to fight Zhao Yun anymore now, he needs to sit down and talk to Xu Rong.

Li Wei opened his mouth and asked Xu Rong: "If I remember that there is no mistake." General Xu's subordinates had almost lost everything during the Battle of Baling, and I wonder where the more than 10,000 infantry that suddenly appeared this time came from? ”

Xu Rong replied: "Thanks to Captain Li, the soldiers brought by Li from Luoyang have been killed and wounded during the Battle of Baling, and now these infantry. But it is from Nanyang Danshui, which is under the jurisdiction of Liu He Gongzi. ”

Li Wei shook his head and said, "Why does General Xu bother with me!" When Liu He passed through Nanyang, he stayed in Danshui for less than a month. How could he raise an army of more than 10,000? ”

Xu Rong didn't want to explain more, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter where these infantry come from. Lieutenant Li only needs to know that their combat power is extremely strong and their military discipline is very strict. If you don't believe it. You can fight a few more battles and learn a lesson. ”

"General Xu is here today, isn't he here to write a war letter?" Jia Xu interjected.

Xu Rong said in a deep voice: "Today I am entrusted by someone to discuss the truce and the war!" Presumably Captain Li also saw that with the current strength of Yier and others, it is impossible to break through Chang'an City, if you continue to consume outside Chang'an City, not only will it be useless, but you may also fall into trouble. ”

Jia Xu said indifferently: "General Xu can't help but be a little self-deceived when he says this, right?" Our strength is more than three times that of yours, and the troops guarding Chang'an have been almost depleted, so we can completely divide some of our forces to contain you and put the remaining troops into the siege of the city. From my observation, the defenders in Chang'an City could not hold out for even three days. ”

When Xu Rong heard Jia Xu's words, he suddenly laughed, and he said: "If our army enters Chang'an City at this time, who of you can stop it?" ”

Li Dao and Jia Xu couldn't answer Xu Rong's question, because they understood that Xu Rong wasn't joking, if this new force outside the city was allowed to enter Chang'an, then even if all the soldiers under Lu Bu's command were consumed, Chang'an City would still be unshakable.

After the depressive dreary, Li Dao slowly spoke: "I don't know what benefits we can have if we stop fighting at this time?" I also asked General Xu to think carefully and not to say something meaningless. ”

Xu Rong replied: "There are two benefits. First, Liu Gongzi will put pressure on the imperial court to pardon all Xiliang soldiers for innocence, including several of your main generals. Second, Liu Gongzi will ask the Son of Heaven to seal your official position, grant you a fief, and let you lead the people of your headquarters to stay in the Sanfu area. ”

"So, what are your conditions?" Li Wei asked.

"We also have two conditions. First, the soldiers under your command are not allowed to enter Chang'an, and after the garrison areas of each army are demarcated in the future, they are not allowed to leave the defense area without authorization, let alone come to Chang'an to cause chaos. Second, the eldest prince will enter Chang'an after this battle to welcome the Son of Heaven to return to Luoyang, and you must not send troops to obstruct it! ”

"What? Do you want to welcome the Son of Heaven to Luoyang? This matter categorically does not work! Li Wei was furious, got up and glared at Xu Rong fiercely. (To be continued......)
