Chapter 500 Capture Chang'an City
In the big tent of the military camp outside Chang'an, Guan Yu was severely injured, and Li Yuan was captured.
"Haha, good, the Pioneer Legion and the Second Legion are doing a very beautiful job." After Zhang Chao saw these news, he couldn't help laughing.
After solving these two support armies, the next step is to consider the final battle against Chang'an City.
In the face of the somewhat complicated situation in Yongzhou, Zhang Chao took the action of replacing the face with points, that is, to surround Chang'an and unwavering in his thoughts, and mobilize the opponent's men and horses while storming the city.
This decision was made by Zhang Chao himself, of course, there were many people who did not understand it in the process, but he abandoned all interference in this regard, even if it was in the collective letter of Guo Jia, the chief military adviser in Jinyang City, and Lu Su, the internal military division, as well as some other civil ministers, it did not shake his decision in the slightest.
Under the firm determination, he finally got a scene that is now extremely beneficial to himself.
Zhang Chao, who was happy, was indeed not proud, he knew that these current victories were just temporary benefits, Chang'an City had not yet been breached, and Cao Cao in the Central Plains also had the possibility of sending troops north at any time.
This time, in order to solve the matter in Yongzhou, he did transfer the main forces. The first, second, fourth, sixth, and seventh plus the vanguard corps, a full six main corps were transferred, which also made the land of Sili and Jizhou empty of troops, if Cao Cao sent troops now, I am afraid that the situation will be very unfavorable.
Sun Shangxiang and the Waterway Legion went to the Yangtze River, and the Taishi Cibu of the Third Army Corps went to Jizhou, which were all Zhang Chao's means to deter Cao Cao. But this may be able to suppress the situation for a while, but he doesn't dare to say how long he can hold on. Compared with Dong Zhuo or Liu Bei, his real strong enemy is Cao Cao.
"The problem here in Chang'an City can't be held up, pass my order, start attacking the city tonight, come here, pass on Zhang Jun."
Zhang Jun, another deputy captain of the Zhangjia Special Army, was also one of the orphans taken in during the Chen Liu's period, because of his hard training and extraordinary physical strength, he was selected into the special army, and finally became a deputy captain by strength.
was able to achieve a major victory that severely damaged Guan Yu and captured Li Yuan, and there was a shadow of the special army in the middle, and even their credit was the greatest. Attacking Chang'an City, Zhang Chao prepared to activate them in Du.
Inside Chang'an City.
In Zhuge Liang's mansion, he had stopped fanning the goose feather fan in his hand, and his eyebrows had already condensed together.
Just received the news that Guan Yu was defeated, seriously injured and fled, and even his eldest son Guan Ping was beheaded by Lu Bu.
Thinking of the tragedy of this battle, Zhuge Liang felt sorry for Guan Yu at the same time, but also had to start facing the complicated situation in front of him.
Without reinforcements, the defense battle of Chang'an City will be more intense in the future.
"Maybe Zhang Chao can really capture Chang'an City, it seems that he needs to make the worst plan." Zhuge Liang muttered to himself, at this moment he had to think about retreating. "Come on, General Zhang Fei and General Zhang Xiu."
In Chang'an City, Zhuge Liang began to plan for the worst. In Zhang Chao's big tent at the city gate, Zhang Jun also walked out with a serious face. It's just that although his face is very solemn, anyone can see that his eyes flashed with a strong sense of battle.
The night covered the sky over Chang'an City as usual.
The sky gradually darkened, but the soldiers on the tower of Chang'an City did have wide eyes and a state of vigilance.
Not long ago, the military advisor Zhuge Liang issued an order to prepare for battle, and all the soldiers defending the city also entered the first-level combat state.
Although many soldiers are still very puzzled, it is clear that Zhang Chao's army is no longer attacking the city these days, but why is he still so cautious? It's just that under the military order, as a soldier, you only have the mission of obedience.
It is true that Zhang Chao's army has not attacked the city for several days.
First, the task of mobilizing Guan Yu and Li Yuan is underway, no one knows if it will go smoothly, whether there will be any changes, the four legions can attack if they do not attack the city, and they can retreat and defend; Second, the continuous siege battle, the four major legions are very hard, take advantage of this time to take a break.
Although the siege war is not going on, anyone can feel that the war is not over, and all this is just the darkness before the dawn. Once the war breaks out, I'm afraid it will really come to the point of life and death.
Time passed by a minute, and when it came time to enter the sub-hour, most of the soldiers defending the city began to relax their minds.
Although there was Zhuge Liang's combat readiness order before, and after this order was issued, everyone was also a lot more vigilant. But it's always night, like siege battles usually don't happen in the night, you can't see what's on the city at all, and the loss of the siege is greater.
Maybe everyone understands this. As soon as the hour passed, the soldiers' minds relaxed a lot, and even the patrols were not as dense as before, but only patrolled in a circle for a quarter of an hour, and most of the time several soldiers snuggled together back to back, napping.
"Cards!"
A very small voice sounded, and under the cover of the wind, it did not attract the attention of the soldiers defending the city.
But with the sound of this sound, a three-clawed hook-like object was indeed stuck on the battlements of the wall. Behind this hook, there is a long rope.
Under the city of Chang'an, with the help of this rope, people in black are climbing up vigorously. From a distance, they looked like monkeys, with their feet on the city wall, their hands pulling on the ropes, and they kept approaching the top of the tower.
"Oh my God, is this the special forces under the lord's command? That's amazing. "Under the city tower, there has long been a dense crowd of morale in black military uniforms gathered here, but because it was dark, Liu Bei's defenders on the city tower did not find out.
Tonight is the time for Zhang Chao to launch a general attack on Chang'an City.
Zhang Jun, deputy captain of the special forces, was the vanguard of this general offensive. He entered the city with 400 hard-trained special soldiers by climbing the towers, and their success or failure also determined whether they could enter the city at the least cost.
The four legion commanders all knew the details of this. But they do have their own doubts about whether Zhang Jun can complete this task.
Although it is said that these days, after storming Chang'an City, there are only 70,000 Liu Bei soldiers left in the city. But it wasn't possible to open the gates with 400 men.
For this reason, for Zhang Chao to use Zhang Jun as the vanguard, several corps commanders did not have much hope. Now that they have seen the ability of these special soldiers to climb the city tower, they really have to be convinced in their hearts at this moment, such a skill, at least the soldiers under their command can't do it.
"Look, the first man went up." Under the city of Chang'an, several army commanders finally saw a black shadow climbing up the city tower, and then they were wiped out.
As the first man climbed up the tower, then the second, and the third, and in a few moments, most of the four hundred men went up.
This also includes the vice-captain Zhang Jun.
"Deputy Captain, there's a patrol of soldiers coming, what should I do?" A special soldier in a black suit came to Zhang Jun's side through the night and whispered a plea.
Zhang Jun had already noticed the group of soldiers who came over, looking at the number of people, there were about twenty people, and the direction they came from was exactly where they were hiding.
Originally, Zhang Jun wanted all 400 people to climb up and start it, so that the success rate would be greatly improved, but now it seems that he can't wait for that time. Nearly 300 of them are hiding here, and it is very difficult to avoid being discovered.
"Anyway, get ready to do it. After a while, there was a fight above, and the first and second teams killed the city gate, and the third and fourth teams followed to open the city gate and control it, leading our army up. Others are here with me to attract enemy troops. Zhang Jun quickly made a decision and arranged the orders one by one.
After several detachment captains around him agreed, they each took their own team members into action.
If more than 300 people didn't move, I was afraid that it would be difficult for others to find them, but this move became conspicuous in the dark, and soon attracted the attention of this group of Liu Beijun patrols. "Who?"
Under a shout, dozens of crossbow arrows were fired. Pity this patrol, they had just discovered the anomaly, and one by one they fell to the ground with arrows in their throats.
It's just that this shout also attracted the attention of the other soldiers guarding the city, and suddenly the city tower became lively.
"Kill." After Zhang Jun shouted, he appeared from the darkness with hundreds of special soldiers and rushed forward.
In the process of rushing forward, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air continued, and a Liu Bei soldier who wanted to rush fell to the ground one after another.
Taking advantage of this chaos, hundreds of people descended ropes from the top of the tower, and with this rope, they quickly fell towards the west gate of the city.
On the tower of the city, Zhang Jun and his team members shot two rounds of crossbow arrows, killing and wounding at least hundreds of Liu Bei's soldiers, and they finally started hand-to-hand combat, and the sound of the impact of spears, short knives, and three-foot swords was indecisive.
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of Hu Zhen, the city guard tonight.
Hu Zhen was originally Dong Zhuo's subordinate, but it was only because Wang Fang was killed that he defected to Zhuge Liang and settled down temporarily.
For such a person, Zhuge Liang naturally didn't believe it, but all the hard work and tiring work were handed over to him. Errands such as the night vigil fell on his head.
In this regard, Hu Zhen is inevitably angry. But now that Chang'an City is heavily surrounded, he can't rush out at all, so he has no choice but to obey.
Originally, I thought that although it was a bit hard to be on duty at night, there should be no danger. But who would have thought that an enemy army would suddenly be killed here?
