But seeing Zhao Yun's invincible appearance, Zhao Li said angrily: "Shameless horseman, when the Zhangye reinforcements arrive in the future, I will definitely wipe out all the generals under the city." ”

Jia Rong shook his head, people always have reverse scales, and Zhao Yun's skin is relatively white, and the sudden appearance on the battlefield may give people the idea of being vulnerable, but after the fight, you will find out how ridiculous that thought is.

The faces of the soldiers in the city were all pale, especially the scene when the cavalry defeated the infantry, like a nightmare, so that they couldn't stop the fear in their hearts, the cavalry, sure enough, was the king of the battlefield, and a large part of the two hundred infantry were directly hit by the war horses and died.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry to walk around in front of Dunhuang City, and returned to the camp satisfied.

A series of engineering ladders, rushing cars, and well ladders were assembled in Zhao Li's surprised eyes, and the soldiers skillfully climbed up the well ladders, and the ladders were slowly lifted to the front of the battle array.

The two thousand iron horsemen kept a close eye on the movement in the city, lest the city would send an army to attack the besieging soldiers, after all, they did not have an advantage in numbers.

"Cavalry, bow and arrow suppression!" Jia Rong gave an order, two thousand iron horsemen like a rolling torrent towards the Dunhuang city, approaching, skillfully set up the bow and arrows, dense arrows fell from the sky, so that the Dunhuang soldiers who were caught off guard suffered a big loss.

Qi Li shouted: "The shield soldiers come forward, and the archers are ready." ”

Zhao Li was stunned, and also roared: "The shield soldiers stepped forward, and the archers shot me fiercely." ”

The rain of arrows from the counterattack in the city did not cause substantial damage to the cavalry, the soldiers were negligent in the battle, and the hands that pulled the bowstrings were a little trembling, most of the arrows were weakly shot halfway, and even some soldiers' bows broke after shooting an arrow.

There was another dense rain of arrows, the soldiers in the city had already prepared, hiding behind the city wall, the casualties were not large, hiding under the city wall to avoid the rain of arrows This discovery surprised many soldiers, no matter what the generals ordered, they never showed their heads.

Enraged, he led fifty soldiers around the city, constantly shouting and cursing, his own soldiers carefully guarded him with huge shields, and the two thousand cavalry took a segmented shooting method, and the continuous rain of arrows made it difficult for the defenders to raise their heads.

The cloud ladder was erected at the head of Dunhuang, and the Xiliang army climbed Xiangshang without hesitation.

"Those who dare to retreat! No mercy! With a single sword, he slashed a soldier hiding behind the city wall and shouted loudly.

Fifty soldiers under the order of chess power, a company killed dozens of soldiers, the soldiers defending the city saw the bloody chess power, frightened, uneasy to look at the city, the cavalry retreated, the infantry landed in the city, they mustered up courage, raised the weapons in their hands, some of the old soldiers in the army spontaneously smashed the wooden rolling stone along the ladder Xiangxia.

Listening to the screams of the siege soldiers, the timid defenders were a lot more courageous, the Xiliang army was also human, and they would die if they were injured, rather than being killed by their own people like this, it was better to pick up the weapons in their hands, maybe they would be able to survive.

"Qili, you are responsible for commanding the soldiers!" At the critical moment, Zhao Li handed over the command to the hands of the chess force.

Zhao Li stood proudly at the head of the city under the careful escort of more than 100 soldiers.

Rushing towards the gate of Dunhuang, feeling the trembling city wall, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army had a stronger fighting spirit.

Jing Yan slowly walked towards the city wall, one by one cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, and the fierce Xiliang army held high the shield and climbed quickly along the cloud ladder.

After approaching the city wall, the battle began.

The blood of the robe Ze drove the blood of the soldiers on both sides, and the continuous movement of chess power mobilized the fierceness of the soldiers to a certain extent.

In white-knuckle combat, the defenders' disadvantage of negligent training gradually became apparent.

Two hours later, the Xiliang army Mingjin withdrew its troops, leaving the city wall full of messes, and many soldiers defending the city couldn't stand the bloody scenes on the city, screaming and running, I don't know if it was because of victory or fear.

Jia Rong was very satisfied with the results of this battle, losing more than 1,000 troops, and the defenders of Dunhuang were also frightened by the beating, believing that they only needed one battle and could take Dunhuang.

"General, there are about three thousand enemy troops ten miles away."

Jia Rong was surprised: "Do you know where this army is?" ”

"Lord, it is estimated that it is Zhangye's army." Zhang Xiu hugged his fists.

"Good, good at it!" Jia Rong daxiao said: "Zhang Liao, you lead the cavalry under your command to go, and you must defeat this army." ”

An excited look flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes, and he clenched his fists in agreement.

After Zhangye's reinforcements were routed, the battle would be easier after the Western Liang army captured Dunhuang.

The infantry of 3,000 Zhangye is not the opponent of Zhang Liao's tiger and wolf division, the first day of the first battle, the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry will beat this group of rookies who have no combat experience to beat the dizzy, the soldiers do not know the generals, and then it is a completely one-sided slaughter, the cavalry equipped with scimitar stirrups, the combat effectiveness has not only risen.

The next day, the east had just been white, and the army outside the city was ready to go.

"Zhangye's 3,000 soldiers have been defeated by our army yesterday, Zhao Lixiao'er, surrender as soon as possible, my general will protect you from death!" Zhang Liao said loudly while carrying the banner of Zhang Yejun.

There was a commotion in the defenders, and the reinforcements were routed, which meant that they were alone.

"My lord is benevolent and righteous, and those who surrender will never be killed!"

The weapons in the hands of many defenders are low, Zhang Liao's roar has crushed most of their psychological defense line, those who surrender will not be killed, what are they still struggling to support here, the other party is playing the banner of the saint, and the command is all elite, no matter who is under it, there is no impact on the soldiers at the bottom.

"Soldiers, don't listen to the rhetoric of the Xiliang Army, pick up the weapons in your hands and guard the city!" Zhao Li shouted.

Yesterday's battle, the defenders lost 2,000 people, and as the defending side, they paid more than the besieger.

"Qili, I order you to be the chief general of the Dunhuang Army, with full command of the defense of the city!" Zhao Li released the military power in his hands.

"No!" Chess knelt down on one knee and bowed.

The city gate in the strong impact of the car, become crumbling, Zhao Li gritted his teeth and came to the city to command the soldiers to fight, the chess power was promoted to the general in the army, to assist himself in defending the city, after yesterday's battle, Zhao Li found that the chess power is not only strong in martial arts, but also a general's talent, commanding the soldiers to fight calmly and with discipline, which appointed him as the chief general of the Dunhuang army.

"My lord, the attack of the Xiliang army this time is bound to be very fierce, and please take refuge in the city." Chess persuasion.

Zhao Lizheng was about to agree, but when he saw the crooked soldiers in the city, and the severed arms and stumps that could be seen everywhere, "This Lord is too guarded in the city, how can he leave the battle, and he is willing to defend the city with all the soldiers." ”

Qi Li leaned over and bowed: "Qi Li is willing to die for the adult!" ”

Qili's father is Han, and his mother is Diren, and in the Diren turmoil, he once followed Wuyan to sweep away the surrounding rebellions, and the soldiers under his command can also be called hundreds of warriors.

Zhao Li helped his chess strength up and said loudly: "If the city is broken, the family will die, and I hope you can work together to defend Dunhuang." ”

The soldiers in the city saw the changes before and after, and they were all moved by Zhao Li's actions, one side was too guarded, and they could resolutely stand on the city and insist on fighting, what reason did they have to retreat, but the sentence of the Xiliang army that the surrenderer would not be killed was firmly imprinted in the minds of many soldiers.

"Attack!" Jia Rong waved his hand, and it was still the cavalry that suppressed the soldiers in the city, and then rushed forward to the cloud ladder, and more than ten wells slowly walked towards the city wall.

To Jia Rong's surprise, the resistance of the defenders was more fierce than yesterday, and the soldiers were not afraid of death.

Hearing the news reported by the herald, Jia Rong sneered and did not speak.

The siege lasted about an hour, and the defenders of the city gradually became overwhelmed, and they were able to continue the battle with complete blood.

The battle between the two sides fell into a white-hot stage, the soldiers of the Western Liang army were well-equipped, but the soldiers of Dunhuang had the advantage of the city.

Suddenly, an armed force of about 200 people appeared at the gate of Dunhuang, and there were not many soldiers guarding the city gate, so they could not resist and were instantly defeated.

The city gate slowly opened, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to enter, and the general trend of Dunhuang was gone.

Zhao Li in the city shouted, drew his sword and committed suicide, his eyes like chess strength swept over the robe of the city reluctantly, and he drew his sword and killed himself.

If it had been placed two days ago, Qili would have chosen to surrender to the Xiliang Army without hesitation, but Zhao Li's actions today made him feel like a soldier was dying for his confidant.

The soldiers who resisted were all killed, out of the list to settle the people, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, the people walked out of the house, one by one the corpses were claimed, the howling cries, endlessly, the soldiers who died in the war were innocent, Jia Rong not only did not embarrass these people, but opened the warehouse, compensated the families of the soldiers who died in the war, and gained a lot of popular hearts.

The expected slaughter of the city was not as Zhao Li said, on the contrary, after the Xiliang army was in charge, a series of measures were completely beneficial to the people, and later the people of Dunhuang, who were closed to news, learned that the Xiliang army was governed in Jincheng Jiuquan, and greatly regretted the senseless resistance at the beginning.

After the capture of Dunhuang, the Xiliang army took a short rest, marched to Zhangye, lost 3,000 soldiers, and there were only more than 2,000 soldiers in Zhangye City, how to resist the wolf-like Xiliang army.

Without the courage of Dunhuang Taishou Zhao Li, Zhang Ye Taishou Fan Hui led his soldiers to flee overnight.

Jia Rongbing got Zhangye without blood, and at this point, the war in Liangzhou basically came to an end.

At the same time that the Western Liang Army was expanding its territory, the princes of the Central Plains also tore the skin of Zuihou, and for their own interests, they did not hesitate to fight each other.

In order to satisfy their own interests, the princes desperately collected taxes, and the lonely people had to sell their fields.

Among them, especially under the rule of Yuan Shu, the army was reckless, and the people were full of grievances.
