Chapter 214: Capturing Xiahou Xuan alive
He Yaoge was a little puzzled by Jiang Wei's order, but he had followed Jiang Wei for a long time, and gradually developed a habit of executing Jiang Wei's order as long as it was Jiang Wei's order.
Those who understand must be executed, and those who do not understand must be understood in the implementation.
Now that Jiang Wei has handed over the glorious mission of fighting the vanguard to him, he is naturally very excited. According to the original arrangement, the 20,000 elite Qiang cavalry of Oh He Yaoge were responsible for covering the left flank of the large array.
Now Oh He Yao Ge attacked, and Ma Dai divided 10,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry to replace Oh He Yao Ge to cover the left flank of the big array.
After the attack, he quickly began to engage with Xiahou Xuan's Yulin Guard cavalry from the left flank, and one of the characteristics of the Qiang cavalry is that arrows can be released from afar, and hand-to-hand combat can be done nearby, so the army has not arrived, but the rain of arrows has already been shot.
The front row of the Shu army's large array was covered by a large number of sword and shield hands, and Xiahou Xuan was not stupid enough to use three thousand forest guard cavalry to attack the Shu army's large array.
His intention was only to destroy the fire beast siege engine, which posed a direct threat to the city gates, and if he still had the chance, he would also destroy the siege towers and thunderbolt carts outside the city.
At first, it was relatively smooth, but under the sudden attack, the Yulin Guard Elite Cavalry successfully destroyed five fire beast siege vehicles.
But soon there was a terrible horn sound from the left flank of the Shu army's large array, which made Xiahou Xuan can't help but vibrate, this horn sound is very familiar to him, this is the special offensive horn of the Shu cavalry.
Xiahou Xuanxun followed the prestige, and saw that a large number of cavalry suddenly poured out of the left wing of the Shu army's large array, some of these cavalry carried the banner of Chinese characters, some carried the banner of Qiang, or held a long knife, or held a curved bow, and rushed towards the Yulin Guard cavalry.
Xiahou Xuan knew that this must be the elite of the Qiang cavalry of the Shu army, but looking at the level of equipment, it was obviously not as good as the Yulin Guard cavalry. So Xiahou Xuan had the intention to gather cavalry to block this Qiang cavalry, so as to leave more time for the rest of the cavalry to destroy the siege equipment of the Shu army.
But the Yulin Wei elite under the command of Xiahou Xuan rode out of the nine city gates, and it was difficult to assemble into an effective front for a while, but the elite Qiang cavalry of the Shu army had already formed a charging line, and like a steel knife, it began to attack the Yulin Wei army along the city wall.
Although the equipment of the Qiang cavalry is not as good as that of Yulinwei, it is better to have a tight formation and strike first, when the 20,000 cavalry is launched, both momentum and power make the Yulinwei cavalry a little difficult to parry for a while.
He burned Goze's horse galloping at the forefront of the front line, with a bent bow in his hand and a bow in all directions, he had excellent archery skills, picking on the weak eye sockets and neck of the Wei army, and every time he fired, he would be killed. This time, he finally tasted the thrill of being a pioneer, and he had a lot of fun.
Xiahou Xuan's armor is very gorgeous, it can be said to be very conspicuous, and there is a high "Xiahou" banner behind it, as if to show the world: I am here! Shoot at me!
He Yaoge found Xiahou Xuan four hundred steps away from Xiahou Xuan, and he was confident that as long as he rushed within one hundred and fifty steps, he could easily shoot Xiahou Xuan, but the governor Jiang Wei gave him a death order, and he could only be captured alive without hurting Xiahou Xuan's life.
So he quietly put away his bow and arrows on the way to the attack, and pulled out a pair of pre-prepared lassos from his horse.
As one of the necessary survival skills of nomads, the horse is a skill that almost everyone has mastered, and he is one of the leaders.
The lasso in his hand was very strong, he had set the lasso in advance, the speed of the horse was very fast, and the horse shook the long rope in his hand vigorously, so that the lasso formed a very graceful circle in mid-air, and kept rotating.
The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and he quickly rushed to the distance of less than fifty steps in front of Xiahou Xuan, and his eyes did not leave Xiahou Xuan, who was swinging his sword, and saw an opportunity, and threw the lasso towards Xiahou Xuan.
"Medium!"
Oh He Yao Ge shouted. The lasso that was thrown vigorously spun rapidly in the air, and suddenly landed on Xiahou Xuan's head, Xiahou Xuan was startled by the sudden fall of the lasso, and involuntarily struggled.
But Oh He Yaoge had already tightened the rope hard, and suddenly tied Xiahou Xuan's two arms and the entire upper body tightly together, and with the galloping strength of the war horse, he reluctantly pulled Xiahou Xuan off the horse.
Xiahou Xuan's personal soldiers were shocked, the main general was tied up by the Shu army with a lasso, and was pulled off the horse and dragged on the ground, how is this good? The Feather Forest Guards rushed forward to cut the ropes.
Oh He Yaoge was galloping, and at the same time tightened the rope, dragging Xiahou Xuan to him.
Xiahou Xuan suffered a great sin, he was dragged away miserably, his handsome face was dragged out of the bloodstains, and in a panic, he struggled to raise his proud head to prevent his face from touching the ground again, but he was never able to break free from the shackles of Oh He Yao Ge Tao Maso.
Xiahou Xuan, who has always regarded himself as a Confucian general, finally couldn't help it, scolded all the way, and greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Oh He Yaoge.
He Yaoge didn't dare to drag Xiahou Xuan on the ground for too long, in case he dragged this thin-skinned and tender-fleshed Wei Jundu to death, he couldn't pay the difference in Jiang Wei's place, so when he dragged it to less than ten steps away from him, he Yaoge loosened the rope and let the drag stop.
I saw that Xiahou Xuan seized this opportunity and hurriedly struggled to get up, he was full of wounds all over his body, and when he was about to stand up, a strong man suddenly rushed out from behind, twisted Xiahou Xuan up, and put him on the horse.
Xiahou Xuan was captured alive by the Shu army.
Seeing this, the Yulin guards of the Wei army suddenly plummeted their morale, and they no longer had the intention of fighting the Shu army, and they rushed back to the city.
Where was he willing to let go of this great opportunity, and immediately ordered the Qiang cavalry to catch up, bite Yu Linwei to the death, and seize the outer gate of Chang'an City in one fell swoop.
As a result, the 20,000 elite Qiang cavalry caught up with the retreating Yulinwei, and some even rushed to the front of Yulinwei, mixed with Yulinwei, and entered the city while fighting.
Seeing this, Zhuge Zhan no longer commanded his soldiers to attack the city with fire beast siege vehicles, but ordered his command of 3,000 Imperial Forest Army and 5,000 Southern Barbarian elites to rush into Chang'an City with the Qiang cavalry.
On the head of Chang'an City, because the Shu army has occupied part of the city wall through the siege tower, the Wei army on the city wall is seriously insufficient for the Shu army that rushed into the city, and there are a total of nine door openings in Chang'an City, which is very convenient for the army to enter the city quickly, so even if the Wei army desperately guards the city gate, it still can't stop the influx of the Shu army.
The Shu army at the head of the city desperately attacked the city gate, and cooperated with the Shu army that rushed into the city to quickly seize the city gate.
The Wei army in the outer city saw that they could not resist, and they withdrew to the inner city, and the soldiers of the Shu army quickly divided into more than a dozen units after entering the outer city, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they continued to occupy the key points of the outer city, and the soldiers marched east along the outer city, striving to capture the entire outer city.
The Wei army was worried that the Shu army would take full control of the outer city, resulting in their own being completely trapped in the inner city, so they kept sending arrows on the walls of the inner city to attack the Shu army that entered the city.
At this time, Xiahou Mao was worried that the Shu army would take advantage of the situation to attack the inner city, so he ordered the gates of the inner city to be closed, so that the Wei army in the outer city suddenly fell into an isolated situation.
