Chapter 46: The Capture of Chang'an

Zhang Jaw in the camp on the south bank found that the situation was wrong, and immediately led his cavalry across the river, and encountered the cavalry of Zhang Lang's personal commander, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle. As soon as the battle began, Zhang Jaw felt that it was difficult to support it, and hurriedly led the army back to the south bank.

Seeing that Zhang Lang led the cavalry to chase after him, he ordered the bridge to be set on fire before his own army completely escaped across the river.

Zhang Lang chased to the shore with more than 10,000 iron horses, only to see that the Weihe Bridge had been completely submerged in flames. glanced at Yuan Shaojun on the opposite side, and couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

Yuan Shao came to the big tent in his pajamas and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”

He opened his jaw and clenched his fists and said: "Lu Bu's army suddenly appeared and leveled the camp on the north bank!" ……”

Yuan Shao was shocked, "Quick! Assemble the entire army camp! ”

"Don't panic! The last general has already burned the Weihe Bridge, and Lu Bu can't come over! ”

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhang Jaw with a look of relief: "You did a good job!" Turning his head and glaring at Xu You, who had been standing silently next to him, he said angrily: "It's all your indiscriminate advice, which caused my North Shore camp to be lost!" Xu Yu was speechless.

Fu Zhu frowned and said, "Lu Bu came faster than expected!" Fortunately, General Zhang Jaw burned the Weihe Bridge in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Yuan Shao had already retreated, "Lu Bu has already been on the north bank of the Wei River, and our army is under attack!" I intend to return to Hangu Pass, and then try to pass in the future! ”

"No!" Frustrated Zhao Yuan Shao hugged his fist, "My lord, although Lu Bu's army has reached the north bank of the Wei River, it is difficult to cross the river for the time being, our army should divide troops to guard various key points on the Wei River, and at the same time attack Chang'an!" Ma Teng is now at the end of the crossbow, and in less than ten days, Ma Teng will definitely be defeated! As long as Chang'an is won, Lu Bu is not afraid! ”

Xu You sneered: "Aren't you putting the lord in danger? What if Chang'an cannot be defeated within ten days, and Lu Bu crosses Weishui again? ”

Fu Zhu frowned and said, "This possibility is very small! Our army has a good chance of winning! Chao Yuan Shao hugged his fist, "Lord, in any battle, how can there be a reason not to take risks?" Just look at the size of the risk and the size of the return! Please also judge the Lord! ”

Yuan Shao hesitated, his face showing determination, "What you said is extremely true!" Zhang Jaw, you lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to garrison the Wei River, you must not lose! "No!"

Yuan Shao glanced at the others, "The rest of the departments, starting tomorrow, will attack from all sides!" ”

Early the next morning, Ma Teng, who was still overjoyed by the arrival of Lu Bujun, suddenly found that Yuan Shaojun not only did not retreat as expected, but attacked more fiercely! Hundreds of thousands of troops took turns to fight, and the four gates attacked fiercely, and Yuan Shaojun was like crazy! From morning to night, from night to dawn, day and night!

In just five days, Ma Teng felt that he couldn't support it anymore and sent someone to urgently ask Lu Bu for help.

On the north bank of the Wei River, the big tent of Lu Bu.

Zhang Lang said with annoyance: "This Yuan Shao's reaction is really beyond my expectations!" Not only did they not retreat, but they stepped up their assault! Ma Teng is almost unable to resist! ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard and said: "Although Yuan Shao is faint, he still has resourceful people under him!" This person who gave Yuan Shao an idea should be frustrated! Although there are many strategists under Yuan Shao's command, there are only two people who can be called national soldiers, Tian Feng! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, frowned, and said, "It's very troublesome to go on like this!" If they defeat Ma Teng and capture Chang'an before we cross the river, our army will probably have to retreat! ”

Jia Xu smiled confidently: "The general doesn't have to worry! Yuan Shao will definitely give up the attack in less than two days! Chang'an was given to the general by heaven! ”

Zhang Lang was surprised, and when he asked, Jia Xu was tricky.

Yuan Shao's offensive became tighter and tighter, and Ma Teng's situation became more and more unfavorable. Zhang Lang estimated that Ma Teng would last three days at most, and ordered people to speed up the collection and production of rafts for crossing the river, but it would take at least four days to prepare enough rafts. found Jia Xu to ask about countermeasures, but he smiled and said nothing.

A day later, a piece of news suddenly came, Gongsun Chan suddenly launched a full-scale attack on Jizhou with all his army!

Zhang Lang was overjoyed when he got the news, he finally understood why Jia Xu was so confident, because he had long expected that Gongsun Zhan would definitely take advantage of Yuan Shao's military attack on Jizhou.

Yuan Shao was furious in the big tent, "Gongsun Zhan is really hateful!" I'm going to kill him!" Glancing at everyone, "Command all the armies to pull out the camp overnight to help Jizhou!" ”

Frustrated, he was shocked, "My lord, although Gongsun Chan is attacking in a big way, with the strength of our army left in Jizhou, it is impossible for him to break through Jizhou in a short time!" Now that Chang'an is ready to go, don't give up halfway! ”

Xu You said: "Jizhou is the fundamental place of our army, how can we take risks!" Hurry up and come to the rescue! ”

Yuan Shao thought so, and was frustrated and persuaded hard, but Yuan Shao just didn't listen and insisted on returning to the army. Frustrated and helpless, he sighed.

In the middle of the night, Jia Xu hurriedly found Zhang Lang who was sleeping, "General, wake up!" ”

Zhang Lang woke up from his sleep and saw that it was Jia Xu, so he quickly jumped off the couch and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "Just now, Yuan Shao has already led the army back east!" ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed, "Great! Three days later, Chang'an will be ours! ”

"The general doesn't have to wait until three days later, he can capture Chang'an tonight!"

Seeing Yuan Shao retreating, Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on the city gate tower and fell asleep. The officers and men of the whole army were also exhausted, and they staggered to sleep.

Kill! The sudden shouting of killing brutally broke the silent night of Chang'an City.

Ma Teng woke up from his sleep, ran out of the city gate tower, and exclaimed, "Is Yuan Shao back again?" An officer stumbled in front of Ma Teng, knelt down with a thud, and said in horror: "Lu Bu, Lu Bu is in the process of leading people to kill!" Our army has been scattered! ”

Ma Teng was shocked, "What?!" At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in the city suddenly rose, and Ma Teng hurriedly looked into the city, and saw Zhang Lang leading many cavalry to run quickly along the gallop road by the city wall. ”

The subordinate general rushed over and hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, let's go quickly!" Or it's too late! Then he took his horse and galloped down the city wall, stepped on his horse, and fled in the direction of the south gate.

Ma Teng's army was defeated like a mountain, and in the end, there were less than 10,000 soldiers and horses who followed Ma Teng to escape from Chang'an! After escaping from Chang'an, Ma Teng went all the way west, and Tianshui in Liangzhou stopped. was followed by the army led by Ma Chao, and was shocked and scolded Zhang Lang for his treachery!

After Zhang Lang occupied Chang'an, the military discipline was strict to appease the people, and the people's hearts were attached.

Zhang Lang stood on the south gate tower, looking at this thousand-year-old capital, although it has been devastated by war, it still stands proudly and extraordinary.
