Chapter 50: The Burning of Chang'an

"Whoosh!" Guo Jia led the pro-army to search everywhere and walked through one alley after another, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the wall in the end. Guo Jia returned to Chang'an Street, the main street of Chang'an, with the pro-army, and suddenly, two cold arrows were released from the abandoned house.

Bang Bang! Faqiu blocked the bow and arrow with a long sword.

"Bastard, you dare to sneak attack, you go and arrest people for me." The Roast Goose King pointed to the abandoned house and gave orders to the two soldiers beside him.

"No!" The two Qiang warriors rushed into the house, but as soon as they entered, two miserable cries were heard.

"You all go in and have a look!"

"No!" More than a dozen soldiers rushed into the house, but unfortunately only found the bodies of two Qiang soldiers, and did not find any enemy soldiers.

Guo Jia and others came and went several times on the streets of Chang'an, but they did not get out of the formation. Every once in a while, hidden arrows would be released, and the soldiers searched the houses where the hidden arrows were released many times to no avail, and it took an hour to kill ten hidden Yellow Turban soldiers. The rest of the Cao and Qiang troops in the city were also harassed by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and there were many casualties.

"Guo Junshi, what is this formation, why can't we get out?" The Roast Goose King had been trapped in the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation for an hour, and his mood became irritable.

"Strategist, look, Zhang Bai is riding on a high platform, as if waving a flag, what does this mean?" Guo Jia's pro-army pointed to the highest pillar in Chang'an City and told Guo Jia.

"Zhang Baiqi is actually commanding with a command flag?"

"Ahh Guo Jia suddenly heard the sound of fighting near him, but he didn't see anyone else, it seemed that the Yellow Turban Army in the city and the Cao Army and the Qiang Army in the city were fighting. The Yellow Turbans raided in the shadows. Let Cao Jun be overwhelmed.

"Guo Junshi. How on earth are we going to get out of this formation? The roast goose king listened to the nearby shouts of killing, and his heart was irritated, and some of the voices were the screams of the Qiang soldiers, it seems that they also encountered the surprise attack of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

"This?" Guo Jia was stunned, this Jiuqu Yellow River Formation was also the first time he had seen it, there were only a few sentences recorded in the ancient books, and they were all background records, which were of little use for breaking the formation.

"Strategist. That Zhang Baiqi was right in front of our eyes, but we couldn't kill him, he was surrounded and killed everywhere, what a shame! Guo Jia's personal soldiers looked indignant when they saw Zhang Baiqi on the high pillar.

"You can't kill anyone you see?" After Guo Jia listened to the words of his own soldiers, he stopped, looked at Zhang Baiqi on the high pillar, he could see Zhang Baiqi himself, but he couldn't reach the bottom of the high pillar.

Wait a minute? I can see Zhang Baiqi, which means that Zhang Baiqi is not far from him. Although Chang'an City is large, the inner city is not large. Zhang Baiqi was only three miles away from him at most at this time, and the cavalry could reach the stone pillar of Zhang Baiqi in less than a quarter of an hour.

The Jiuqu Yellow River Formation is a labyrinth formation, and its main role should be to trap people in the formation, causing the army's morale to be unstable, and then waiting for an opportunity to raid.

The real arrangement of the Jiuqu Yellow River Array should be to use giant trees and boulders as raw materials, drive the boulders and boulders into the ground, form various obstacles that hinder the soldiers, and drive the boulders and boulders into the ground, so that the soldiers cannot destroy them.

Zhang Bai rode in Chang'an for only seven days, and he laid this kind of formation in the city, and the time was insufficient, so he could only use the houses on the streets of Chang'an and the baggage of Cao Jun as raw materials to lay down the formation and hinder the marching speed of Cao Jun.

"King, Jia has a stupid way to reach the stone pillar that Zhang Bai rides, I wonder if the Roast Goose King is willing to try?" Guo Jia suddenly thought of a very practical way to arrive at the stone pillar of the roast goose king.

"What is the strategy of Guo Junshi?" When the roast goose king saw Guo Jia's method, he hurriedly showed joy.

"King, please see, the roast goose king is only a mile away from us in a straight line at most, and the reason why our army can't reach the stone pillar that Zhang Bai rides is because Zhang Bai has laid an obstacle. These obstacles are the houses of Chang'an and the baggage of our army, if our army wants to remove these obstacles, it will take a lot of time, and there is a surprise attack by the Yellow Turban soldiers in the dark, our army must not act recklessly. Guo Jia first analyzed the situation of the two armies and looked at the roast goose king.

"Strategist, don't talk nonsense, what is the plan, let's talk about it!" The roast goose king looked at Guo Jia anxiously, and the literati spoke in a crepe, not happy at all.

"King, it is impossible for our army to destroy the obstacles set by Zhang Baiqi in a short period of time and reach the stone pillar of Zhang Baiqi, but we can select elite soldiers, pass through the obstacles set by Zhang Baiqi, reach under the stone pillar, and kill Zhang Baiqi." After Guo Jia listened to the tips of his own soldiers, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a stupid solution.

Zhang Baiqi hurriedly laid out the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation in Chang'an City, using the houses as the main obstacles, the cavalry and the army could not pass smoothly in a short time, but they could use the elite assault team to raid under the stone pillar of Zhang Baiqi.

Guo Jia's family is poor, and he also learned martial arts when he was young, and it is not difficult for him to jump over the wall and jump over the house, and with twenty generals with high martial arts, he should be able to raid under the stone pillar of Zhang Baiqi. Even if you can't kill Zhang Baiqi, you can destroy his command, the Cao army and the Qiang army in the city have been trapped for an hour, and the army's heart is fluctuating, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties for the surprise attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Guo Junshi, you also underestimate my roast goose, my roast goose is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, I selected ten hundred people with superb martial arts, and together with the military advisor, raided Zhang Baiqi."

"Okay, I will also lead ten generals with strong martial arts to kill the enemy with the king."

Then Guo Jia took Faqiu and ten generals to open the way in front, and the king of roast goose followed behind with ten hundred people, and when he encountered the wall, he was removed from the obstacles, and soon he was less than 100 steps away from the stone pillar that Zhang Bai was riding.

The Yellow Turban Lux who was guarding nearby immediately rushed up, and was quickly killed by Fa Qiu and the Roast Goose King.

"Guo Junshi is here?" Zhang Baiqi looked at Guo Jia under the pillar and smiled slightly.

"A little faster than I thought, Guo Junshi can get here so quickly, it seems that I have lost again." Zhang Baiqi clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"General Zhang, your Jiuqu Yellow River Formation is really powerful, Jia can't crack it, if it weren't for General Zhang's rush of time, I'm afraid Jia would have died in Chang'an."

"Guo Junshi doesn't have to be modest, he can arrive at Shizhu so quickly, Guo Junshi is also a master, it's just too late." Zhang Baiqi took out the rattling arrow from his arms and shot it into the sky.

"Master Guo, Bai Qi will give you one last gift!" As soon as the arrow sounded, a raging fire broke out around Chang'an, and Zhang Baiqi had long been determined to burn Chang'an.

"It turns out that burning Chang'an is the last plan! Thank you, General Zhang! Guo Jia shouted and arched his hand to Zhang Baiqi.

Zhang Baiqi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Guo Jia and the roast goose king under the stand, Zhang Baiqi suddenly understood that while calculating Guo Jia, Guo Jia also used himself to eradicate the enemy. Guo Jia didn't know what his plan was, but there was an ambush in Chang'an City, and with Guo Jia's resourcefulness, he would not be on guard.

Guo Jia in order to pursue Ma Chao, will definitely enter Chang'an City, Guo Jia is to make two preparations, if you break your own formation, you will pursue Ma Chao, if you don't break your own formation, you will follow your own plan to eradicate the roast goose king.

Guo Jia is really a formidable opponent! Zhang Baiqi had no strength, even if he knew Guo Jia's plan, Zhang Baiqi could only look at Zhang Baiqi with remorse, vomiting blood and falling down from the high pillar.

"Guo Junshi, why is there a fire?" Looking at the fire around him, the roast goose king was at a loss.

"The king doesn't have to worry, Jia has his own way." Guo Jia looked at the nearby houses, then walked into a private house and left Chang'an City through the tunnel in the abandoned firewood house.

After Cao Jun captured Chang'an City, Cao Jun discovered the secret passage left by Dong Zhuo. At that time, Chang'an was already in ruins, without any defensive power. Therefore, Guo Jia did not seal the secret passage, but expanded the secret passage as a means of defending Chang'an.

At the end of the spring of 205 AD, Zhang Bai rode to burn Chang'an, and Guo Jia took advantage of the situation to eradicate the third son of the roast goose king. Since then, the strength of the Western Liang army in Liangzhou was basically wiped out by the Cao army, and the Cao army finally controlled the entire Western Liang. (To be continued......)
