Chapter 191: Fierce Battle in Chang'an (I)

Under the siege of Chang'an City on all sides, there are 12 large and small city gates, and there are three city gates on the left, middle and right in each direction, which is not inferior to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Now guarding the gates of each city are all the subordinate generals of General Fenwei and Wenhou Lu Bu, they are: Captain Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, Song Xian, Gao Shun, Hao Yin, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Xue Lan, Commanders Zhang Liao, Wang He, Li Feng, Liu He, Han Wei, strategists Xu Yan, Wang Kai, Qin Yi.

These generals and strategists are all from the counties of Bingzhou, some were Ding Yuan's subordinates, and some were Lu Bu's subordinates, and now they are huddled together and have become an important force, which is called "Bingzhou Department" at the time.

In the evaluation of later generations, Lu Bu was portrayed as a brave and unscrupulous reckless man, and Chen Shou pointed out mercilessly: Lu Bu has the courage of a tiger, but has no heroic strategy, is cunning and repetitive, and is mercenary. From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a thing as not to be destroyed.

In fact, Lü Bu was spurned by the family because he completely ruined his reputation because of the two murders of his lord, but he was nothing more than a tool played by politicians and conspirators.

Many times, Lu Bu is actually quite sad.

Later generations often talked about Lu Bu's infidelity, but they rarely heard anyone say that Lu Bu was a cruel and murderous guy. According to statistics, the generals who died in the hands of Lu Bu were only a few miscellaneous fish such as Li Su, Fang Yue, and Mu Shun, and this was really a surprising data for Lu Bu as the world's number one fierce general at that time.

Compared with the black-hearted lords in the Three Kingdoms era who forced the unarmed people to rush forward to resist the rain of arrows for the soldiers, the ants attached to the siege of the city, and even served as human flesh and dry food to eat, Lu Bu did almost little harm to the ordinary people, but when he followed Ding Yuan, he fought many tough battles with the nomads in the north, and he can be regarded as a national hero among the Han people.

Lu Bu assassinated the lord Ding Yuan for the first time because he was instigated by Dong Zhuo, which was really inauthentic, fully exposing his cunning and mercenary villainous face; Lu Bu assassinated Dong Zhuo for the second time because he was instigated by Wang Yun, and this thing was actually quite popular, because Dong Zhuo was really innocent.

Putting aside the matter of Lu Bu's two killings, Lu Bu's ability to lead troops to fight is actually quite remarkable.

As the core soul of the Bingzhou system, Lu Bu's prestige in the army is very high, and the generals under his command from Bingzhou can strictly implement his orders, otherwise they will not be able to block the nearly 100,000 siege troops of Li Dao and Guo Yan outside the city with a small number of troops, thwarting the rebels' offensives again and again.

If you carefully comb through these generals under Lu Bu, you will find that he has made great achievements in promoting and cultivating talents, and the generals of the state department have surpassed the Xiliang system in terms of overall ability and quality, and they are not inferior to the group of generals under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Captain Hou Cheng, a native of Bingzhou, is agile, strong in martial arts, alert, good at camouflage and spying, and has trained many capable scouts for Lu Bu, and has a hand in commanding troops to fight.

Captain Cao Xing, and the state people, good at archery, archery skills are amazing, its archery skills are clumsy, contains a terrifying force, the battle of Xuzhou had shot a blind Xiahou Dun in one eye.

Captain Song Xian, a native of Bingzhou, is proficient in observing the enemy's situation, and is a top battlefield observer, who is deeply trusted by Lu Bu.

Captain Gao Shun, a native of Bingzhou, has a super ability to command and train troops, and the trapped camp trained for Lu Bu is invincible and invincible. Gao Shun is calm and loyal, able to attack and defend, is the talent of a general, brave and wise, loyal and benevolent. Usually do not drink alcohol, do not give gifts, law-abiding, upright, and indifferent to others.

Captain Hao Yin, a native of Hanoi, was born in a rogue, tried to rob Lu Bu at the beginning, but was beaten by Lu Bu, and then was impressed by Lu Bu's super martial arts, and since then he has worshiped Lu Bu as the main and used it for his use.

The captain is honest, has a calm temperament, and seems to have no outstanding characteristics, but he is serious and down-to-earth in his work, and belongs to people who only do what they don't say.

Captain Wei Xu, Lü Bu's wife's uncle, later betrayed Lü Bu, surrendered to Cao Cao, and was killed by Yan Liang.

Captain Xue Lan, another marksman in Lü Bu's army in addition to Cao Xing, was shot and killed by Cao Cao's general Lü Qian during the Battle of Xuzhou.

Captain Wang He, so that a big sword, immediately riding and hand-to-hand combat under the horse are proficient; Captain Li Feng, known for his bravery, once had Lu Bu personally guide martial arts; Captain Liu He, who made a spear, immediately worked neatly and neatly, not inferior to Wang He; Du Wei Han Wei, Lao Cheng is serious, and he has always been meticulous about what Lu Bu told him to explain.

There is also a cavalry lieutenant, named Zhang Liao, who usually speaks little, but is extremely brave in battle, with a strategy for the art of war hidden in his chest, and his future is unlimited.

Strategists Xu Yan, Wang Kai and Qin Yi have followed Lu Bu for many years, although their reputation is not obvious, but they are also serious and responsible, and they have always provided advice and raised food and grass for Lu Bu, and they have made great contributions.

Historically, after the city of Chang'an was broken, none of Lu Bu's subordinates were captured and killed by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and none of them surrendered to Li Dao and Guo Yan, they were all willing to follow the defeated Lu Bu to first vote for Yuan Shu, and then to Yuan Shao, and then follow Lu Bu to occupy Yanzhou and fight Xuzhou.

It is said that the times create heroes, if Lu Bu is not destroyed, then those generals under him may not have the achievements of Zhang Liao, one of the "five good generals".

Since Chang'an City was besieged by the coalition forces of Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, the people in the city were panicked, especially the old troops left by Dong Zhuo in the forbidden army, and they were even more passive in responding to the war, each with their own ghosts.

Hou Cheng and Han Wei were entrusted by Lü Bu to send people to keep an eye on several military camps that might mutiny day and night, and Lü Bu specially arranged for Zhang Liao to lead a cavalry reserve to be ready to use at any time, and once a rebellion was found in the forbidden army, they would immediately kill them.

Lu Bu himself is a rebel expert, so he is extremely vigilant about the troops left behind by Dong Zhuo, and the things he confessed, no matter which one of them, were done by people he trusted with confidence, and did not leave too many gaps for Li Dao and Guo Yan outside the city to take advantage of.

Outside the city, Li Dao and Guo Yan sent soldiers to throw arrows into the city every night, calling on the former Dong Zhuo's old troops to secretly collude and open the city gate to receive the army into the city when the army was attacking the city during the day.

In order to realize the intention of disturbing the morale of the army in the city, Li Dao and Guo Yan promised a heavy reward for high-ranking officials, claiming that when the city was broken, they would only punish the culprit, and never embarrass their former comrades.

These letters do not clearly indicate who the real internal response is, and they are not afraid of being picked up and discovered by Lu Bu's men, but they play an extremely terrifying role. Because even if Lu Bu understood that this was a ploy used by Li Dao and Guo Yan, he could not fight back, let alone kill all the tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the city.

In this way, Lu Bu not only did not dare to let the forbidden army enter the city to fight, but also sent some of his elite troops to take care of them, and suddenly most of the troops defending the city were dissipated, and they felt a heavy pressure like a mountain from top to bottom.

Li Dao and Guo Yan sent people to Chang'an City for three consecutive days to persuade them to surrender, and when they completely messed up the position of the defenders in the city, they immediately organized a larger-scale siege operation.

This wave of attacks was extremely powerful, and generals such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou personally went into battle to command, and launched fierce attacks almost simultaneously from the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest, leaving no respite for the troops defending the city.

The drums inside and outside the city urging the soldiers to attack resounded in the sky, and the soldiers who were defending the city according to the danger of defending the city continued to be hit by the flying arrows under the city and fell into the moat, although the casualties of the besieging soldiers were higher than those of the defenders, but because of the large number of people, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, there were still several troops stubbornly climbed the city wall, and the defenders started a fierce hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city.

Gao Shun divided his fallen warriors into four groups, one of which was led by him personally, and the other three groups were led by the commanders Wang He, Li Feng, Liu He and others, who fought fiercely with the rebels who rushed to the city, and killed the Xiliang warriors who came up again and again.

In this kind of brutal battle of exchanging lives for lives, even the battle-hardened warriors suffered heavy casualties, and from time to time it can be seen that someone was carried by the Xiliang soldiers who rushed up and fell to the city.

Song Xian, who was in charge of observing the situation on the battlefield, came to Lu Bu's side with an anxious face, and said in a deep voice: "General, observe with humble duty, if there are no reinforcements outside the city today, Chang'an will be broken in the afternoon, and we will have a street battle with the rebels!" ”

Lu Bu said with a gloomy face: "At this time, what reinforcements can you expect?" The cavalry that appeared outside the city a few days ago may have been driven back to Luoyang by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and now we can only rely on ourselves! ”

"General, whether there are reinforcements or not, we have to let out the wind at this time, let's just say that Liu Shizhong has been ordered by the Son of Heaven and has moved tens of thousands of troops from Youzhou, as long as he survives today, he can hold Chang'an!" Strategist Xu Yan suggested.

"Okay, according to the plan I have done, I will send a message to the defenders of all gates in my name, so that everyone must withstand this round of offensive by the rebels, a large number of reinforcements have now passed Baling and are rushing to Chang'an!"

After Lu Bu said this, he strode out of the gate tower with a halberd in his hand, and rushed towards a city head where the battle was very fierce, looking extremely fierce, and no enemy could stop his hard blow.

On the north bank of the Wei River, not far from Chang'an City, a fully armored army was silent, looking solemn and solemn.

This force is composed of three forces, namely 8,700 Youzhou cavalry, 10,000 Shenxi troops and 5,000 Chang'an forbidden troops, led by Zhao Yun, Xu Rong and Huangfu Song.

Li Yan, who stayed behind, said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, this trip to Chang'an is very dangerous, and it is indispensable to fight a vicious battle, you must pay attention to safety, and at the same time find a way to hurt the rebels outside the city, so as to force Li Dao and Guo Yan to agree to a truce and sit down to negotiate with us." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and said to Li Yan with a confident face: "Don't worry about me, this time when you go to Chang'an, the Youzhou cavalry will no longer swim without attacking like last time, and you must let Li Dao and Guo Yan know that they are powerful!" ”

The veteran Huangfu Song and the middle-aged general Xu Rong on the side looked at the young and confident Zhao Yun, with mixed feelings and a lot of emotion.
