It is said that in Chang'an City, Zhong Yi stood at the head of the city, pressed the city wall, and looked at the battle situation outside for a long time in amazement.

Not only Zhong Yi, but all the generals in Chang'an City have reached the limit, and no one dares to be careless in the slightest bit of tense defense of the city for more than 20 days, and they are already tired after a few days, if it is not for the timely arrival of reinforcements, this Chang'an City will really not be able to hold it.

The people of the Zhong family have all gone to the city, and they are ready to fight hard at this time, and even Zhong Hui has changed his armor.

At the most critical moment, watching the reinforcements brought by the Han lord break Sima Yan, the cavalry of the two roads was like a bamboo, and the Wei army of hundreds of thousands did not even hold on for an hour, and a wave of impact collapsed, most of the Wei army slowly retreated, and then the Han army pressed on, this scene made everyone in the city stunned.

Looking at the situation under the city, at this time, the Wei army retreated, and the remaining tens of thousands were fleeing in embarrassment, while the Han army, in addition to the chasing cavalry, divided into about 20,000 infantry troops, and was shouting from time to time: "Those who kneel and abandon weapons will not be killed." ”

Most of the scattered Wei troops were tired of running and surrendered on their knees, and this kind of battle situation was like a dream, which made people really can't believe it.

But the facts are in front of you, the defeated Wei army, throwing away their armor and running around, and the Han army wearing armor is constantly pursuing at this time, destroying the enemy, blood is constantly blooming and spreading on the ground, and the bloody gas is constantly diffusing in the air, this scene is really a dream, and it is too real.

"The Wei army of 200,000 was defeated like this?" With a hoarse voice, Zhong Hui watched for a long time before saying this sentence, but he couldn't hear a response from his subordinates.

He turned his head and looked to the side, and found that the soldiers still on the left and right were all like him, looking down with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Uncle, Han Jun, it's too powerful......" For a long time, Zhong Yi, who was the closest to him, stammered at this time.

The Wei army is all strong soldiers, 200,000 troops, and they are also well armed, they have a strong city, and they are still beaten all the way to Chang'an by the Wei army, but such a strong army was broken by a blow today, which is too hard to believe.

The latter words, Zhong Yi did not say again, the meaning he wanted to express was very clear, the strength of this Han army was really unexpected, it was able to break the Wei army in one fell swoop, and the strength was really terrifying.

Of course, if the Wei people are too weak and the Han army is too strong, really, this gap is not big, and this is actually the biggest coincidence caused by many special factors.

First of all, most of the Wei people took turns to attack the city today, without stopping at all, and they were tired up and down; Secondly, the Han army came quickly, and the Wei army's formation was really scattered, and as long as the Wei army was given an hour to prepare, then the result of this battle might be different.

At the very least, the Wei army will not be dispersed so easily, let the Han army strangle, and there is also the factor of the auxiliary of the soldier armor and Wendao, but this secret method is unknown to outsiders.

Zhong Jun on another city wall, looking at the Wei army fleeing under the city, was silent for a moment, and said: "The battle under the city will not end for a while, you just need to stay here, don't act rashly, I will go to meet Zhong Du now." ”

After speaking, he instructed the general next to him to temporarily preside over military affairs, and he turned around and went down to the city and asked where Zhonghui was.

At this time, the Governor's Mansion in Chang'an City, the Zhong Mansion, were anxious and uneasy.

The situation outside the city, these slaves will not know, but for many days the Wei army has besieged Chang'an City, but they know that once the city is broken by the Wei army, the rest of the people may still have a way to live, and they have become one with the Zhong family, but there is only one way to die.

When I was worried, I heard the slogan of "the marshal returns to the house", which is a sigh of relief, there is no major event in the city, Zhong Hui has been in the city for the past few days, only when the Wei army retreats, will he return to the house, it seems that today is over.

It's just that seeing Zhong Hui's face turned pale, and he didn't say anything when he returned to the study, these people were all up and down in their hearts.

Obviously, they were worried too early, Zhong Hui was in the bedroom, and as the family guard walked in, a voice soon came: "The eldest prince Zhong Jun is asking to see him outside." ”

"Let him in!" Zhong will speak.

"Uncle, what should we do in this battle, the Wei army has been completely defeated by the Han army!" Before letting Zhong Jun in, he heard the shouting, and there was obvious panic in his tone.

Zhong Hui's mood at this time was very delicate, he was relieved by the defeat of the Wei army, and he was jealous of the Han army.

According to his thoughts, he hoped that the Han and Wei families would be injured in both defeats, and he would not want to take advantage of the fishermen, but he could also take the opportunity to make some more money to negotiate good terms, but the current situation was really unexpected by him, which caught him off guard.

If you want to talk about the conditions, I don't know what to mention!

"What's the panic?" Zhong Hui still remained shocked in front of his nephew and scolded.

Zhong Jun was stunned, and hurriedly stood with his head down and his hands down, glancing at Zhong Hui from time to time.

The two are actually about the same age, Zhong Jun is also thirty-five or sixteen years old, and Zhong Hui is just forty years old, although the two are uncles and nephews, they are more like brothers, they both have square faces and thin eyebrows, but Zhong Hui has a majesty on his face, at this time, Zheng Meiyu is deeply locked, and he is contemplating in the room.

Zhong Hui thought for a moment, and then instructed Zhong Jun: "Look at you like this, it's also hard work, go wash and change clothes first, and then come to the study to talk!" ”

"Yes, uncle." Seeing that his uncle was so calm, it seemed that he had a backbone, Zhong Jun's panic calmed down, and he hurriedly responded.

The bell would cough violently a few times at this point.

Only then did Zhong Jun realize that Zhong Hui's face was ugly, and he was uneasy, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle, your body is ......."

"It's okay, let's take care of the previous things first, it's just a moment of depression." The clock will wave his hand and let him out.

After a while, I finished washing up and arrived at the study.

After stepping in, I saw Zhong Hui drinking tea, still with his eyebrows locked, and heard his nephew coming, he said, "Sit!" ”

Zhong Jun responded to the order and found a chair to sit on, and in the study, Zhong Yong and Zhong Yi were also there at this time.

At this time, there were only three of them in the room.

In the study, there is also a map.

Zhong Hui's eyes swept over, and he sighed: "I really didn't expect that I, Zhong Hui, would fall into such a field now...... "Love my e-book."

"Uncle ......"

Seeing Zhong Jun's worried look on his face, Zhong Hui smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It's just a sigh, Yi'er, tell me about the current battle situation, although I have seen and heard the results, but you are the one who came to the battle, do you say that the casualties of the Han army and the Wei army are not heavy?" ”

"Yes, uncle, there are not many casualties, maybe only the eleventh number of the Wei people, and there are even more strange things, according to the information of the fourth brother, the Han army raised troops and attacked Huaili County this morning, which should have taken two or three days!" Zhong Jun replied: "But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will only break in one or two hours, which is really wondering, will it not hit Huaili County?" ”

"But even so, the Han army of 100,000 people rushed to Chang'an City and fought with the Wei army outside the city, according to common sense, even if one side wins, there will be huge losses, but in fact, the loss of the Han army is not large, but the two cavalry troops rushed, and they defeated the Wei army like a bamboo, and I think the Han army lost more than 1,000 people at most, which makes my nephew unable to understand and understand."

Zhong Hui himself pondered these questions for a long time, and at this time, he said: "According to the news of Yuan'er, the Han army arrived in Huaili County last night and began to attack this morning, even if Huaili County is vulnerable, it will take half a day, right?" It is impossible for the Han army to reach the city of Chang'an so quickly, and it is not difficult to defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop. ”

"The Wei army attacked Chang'an, it has been more than 20 days, it can be said that the soldiers are exhausted, and they have not been able to take precautions, so they withdrew from the city, the formation is scattered, and it is not difficult for the Han army to break it in one fell swoop, the cavalry of the Han army is all elite, maybe the Han army armor is indeed powerful, and the combat power of the Han army has always been above the Wei army, which has the possibility of easy victory.

The key is this morning, how did the Han army break through Huaili County at such a fast speed and arrive in Chang'an, this is a big problem, the Han army cannot let Huaili County stay, this victory and defeat before the war, the victory or defeat is still unknown, how can the Han Emperor gamble?

If it has not been won, then Huaili County can cut off the grain road and the back road, and the 100,000 army will be wiped out in one day, how can the Han Emperor be so childish in the country? This Huaili County must have been taken! ”

Although because of the timely arrival of the Han army, Chang'an City and their Zhong family did not fall into the hands of the Sima family, and the Zhong family did not fall into a catastrophe, but the combat effectiveness of the Han army made Zhong Hui unable to understand.

Zhong Yong was also curious about this matter at this time, he listened to the discussion, and suddenly said: "I meditated hard, could it be that the guards of Huaili County surrendered?" ”

At this moment, someone came in to report that a messenger from the fourth young master Zhong Yuan had arrived at this time.

"Let it in." Zhong Hui said: "This person has been following Yuan'er around, he must know the key inside." ”

After a while, the messenger had entered the hall from the outside, first saluting Zhong Hui and then Zhong Jun.

"No need to be polite, how Huaili County was quickly attacked, do you know this?"

"Yes, the villain and the fourth prince were ordered to serve as messengers, Your Majesty did not let me evade them, and I also watched the battle and knew how Huaili County was breached."

"Speak." The bell would say in a deep voice.

"After the villain and the fourth prince went out, they arrived all the way to Chencang County, and it was very smooth at the beginning, His Majesty promised to send troops, and the next day he officially sent troops, and the villain was also happy in his heart."

"When I arrived in Meixian, the fourth prince took the former army to Wugong County, the villain was still in Meixian, and General Pang of Meixian County, Tian Junshou, also opened the city to greet him, but His Majesty asked General Pang to be the vanguard, General Pang was unwilling, His Majesty immediately killed General Pang, and let Tian Envoyjun lead General Pang's soldiers, and then stayed in Meixian for a few days."

Speaking of this, Zhong Hui's face remained unchanged, obviously he already knew, and said to the messenger, "Go on." ”

"Yes, when I arrived in Wugong County, I rested for a few days, and the fourth prince and I kept asking again, but Your Majesty did not allow it, that is, until yesterday, Your Majesty led the army eastward and arrived in Huaili County.

In the morning, I saw that there were more than ten carts in the Han army, I heard them call it a boulder car, this car needs a hundred people to call it together, it is very powerful, just two or three times to hit the stone, and the city wall of Huaili County will be smashed out of a few gaps.

His Majesty ordered 30,000 soldiers to rush in, and in less than an hour, Huaili County was gone......"

"After that, His Majesty led his troops to rush here, and fought a decisive battle with the Wei thief, and won in one fell swoop, the boulder cart was really unstoppable, and the villain was ordered by the fourth prince to ......." The messenger reported the content he got to a few people in great detail, and finally looked at Zhong Hui's expression and didn't dare to say any more.

Hearing this news, not only Zhong Yi and the others were stunned, but even Zhong Hui was also shocked by the powerful trebuchet mentioned at this time.

"After only two or three attacks, they smashed the wall of Huaili County out of the gap, I really can't imagine that this Han army has such a sharp weapon, and the power is really unimaginable......," Zhong Hui muttered.

Huaili County was originally the seat of the county, and the city wall was more than the general city wall, he had been there a few times, and he also had a little understanding, since he could smash Huaili County with a few blows, even if it was changed to Chang'an, in fact, it couldn't resist much time.

Today in the city, he also saw several tall trebuchets in the Han army, but this sharp weapon that can only be used by hundreds of people, can it still be called trebuchet? The name of the boulder machine is indecent, but it is also worthy of its name!

In the Han army, when did there be such an artifact, the previous battle of the three counties and the battle of Liangzhou, there was no such information, it is said that this kind of sharp weapon is not there overnight, could it be that the Han army has been hiding?

This was what disturbed him the most, because he didn't know what other artifacts the Han army had.

His Chang'an City is also very dangerous, and it is naturally impossible for the Han State to let him become independent in Chang'an City, maybe there will be a war.

If it was before, Zhonghui would have responded to the battle, but now, the Han army occupies the surrounding counties, Chang'an has become an isolated city, and Chang'an City has lost more than half of its strength in the past 20 days of offensive and defensive battles.

Thinking of this, Zhong Hui regretted it very much, a few days ago, Zhong Yuan ordered someone to send a letter from the Han lord, promising that he could be named the king of Qin, guard the four counties, and guard the Yan Han Dynasty, so it seems that it is just a delaying tactic!

The most important thing is that now Chang'an City has been dilapidated, the soldiers are tired, and they have been stretched all the time, and they can resist for a few days, but now they are suddenly relieved, and it is difficult to fight again.

Zhong Hui knew in his heart that even if the knife was pressed to his neck now, few of these tired soldiers could get up and fight.

This doesn't take into account the Han army's giant stone machine!

Thinking of this, Zhong Hui suddenly felt a little dizzy!

"Father, do you want to eat first?" At this time, Zhong Yong stepped forward to support Zhong Hui and said.

"No, at this time, how can we take care of these, let's go and watch the situation of the Han army." Although his body was weak, Zhong Hui still directly ordered to go to the city to watch.

At this time, it was already night, and under the vast sky, the camp of the Han army not far away was particularly conspicuous.

The Han army still had at least 30,000 camped here, and occupied the large camp abandoned by the Wei army.
