The afterglow of the setting sun spilled from the western sky to the earth, making the land of Guanzhong more and more desolate and majestic.

No one in Chang'an City was in the mood to enjoy such a magnificent view.

Because with the sunset, there is also a great army.

The two armies are clearly distinguished, relying on each other and guarding against each other.

In the southwest is Li Maozhen's 40,000 Fengxiang army, and in the northwest is Wang Xingyu's 20,000 Suining army. Ashina Zhenyan's scouts also inquired about the party members in the northern Dunfang, and they were also ready to move.

Zhang Chengye frowned, the enemy came together at this time, undoubtedly finding the right time.

In terms of troops, Chang'an is emptier than ever.

Many dignitaries and nobles in the city fled to the east of the river.

On the contrary, the people of Chang'an are very calm, they should eat, sleep, and sleep.

The ministers of the court were in panic all day long, and unanimously asked for help from the Tongguan Emperor.

Zhang Chengye's response was to seal Chang'an tightly, and no one was allowed to leave the city without a military order.

Prime Minister Han Quanzhi was surprisingly cooperative, and it seemed that in order to prove his innocence, he also locked the front and back yard gates of his own yard.

What pleased Zhang Chengye the most was that the wealthy businessmen in the city took the initiative to donate money and food, and all the caretakers were sent to the army.

Including Cui Zhaowei's Mansion, Cui Yuanlang, the third son of Cui, even personally led three hundred guards to join the defenders.

Zhang Chengye organized them into auxiliary armies.

Compared with the siege of Chang'an by 100,000 troops a year ago, it can only be regarded as a small scene now.

Chang'an is a majestic city in the world, the city is high and deep, there are 6,000 soldiers, and there are trained people, it is no longer Chang'an a year ago.

And Li Maozhen is a little weaker than a year ago.

first took a few bites with Wang Xingyu, and then fought with Wang Jian in Xingyuan, and the states of Hanzhong were almost reduced to ruins, and their strength was not as good as before. It's just that Li Maozhen is like a mad dog, destroying fields, burning villages, plundering people, hunting and killing Haoqiang, and gnawing at all life like locusts.

Zhang Chengye felt uncomfortable, Guanzhong was so tired, Li Maozhen still acted angrily and resentfully.

The two armies were not in a hurry to attack the city, and they had a tacit understanding to garrison the city, which made Zhang Chengye breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time sent a message to Huazhou to take precautions.

As soon as the letter was sent, Li Maozhen's army moved, but instead of attacking Chang'an, it went straight to Huazhou.

Zhang Chengye was suddenly shocked, Huazhou is located in the middle of Chang'an, Tongzhou, and Tongguan, once Li Maozhen defeated Huazhou, he cut off the connection between the three parties, as if inserting a nail in the heart.

When the time comes, the emperor will not be able to advance or retreat, Li Maozhen will sit and watch the situation in the Guanzhong River and reap the benefits of the fishermen!

is a good Li Maozhen, if you don't make a move, it's just a killer move.

Zhang Chengye broke out in a cold sweat.

It is worthy of being a hero in the middle of the 20 years.

The most powerful thing about Li Maozhen's move is that once Chang'an divides his troops to rescue, he can turn around and attack Chang'an again.

The initiative in the war was entirely in his hands.

Once Chang'an was captured, the emperor's face fell to the ground again.

And without the foundation of Chang'an, it is difficult for Li Ye to turn over.

Although Zhang Chengye saw through everything, he couldn't do anything. Even if you know that Huazhou is in danger, you can't divide your troops to save it.

Because there is also a Wang Xingyu under the city.

……

In the battle of Julu, the overlord Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and the 8,000 children of the Xiang family broke the 400,000 Qin army.

In the Battle of Weishui, the 80,000 Beifu army broke the 800,000 Hou Qin army head-on.

In the battle of Wugao Pass, Taizong's 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry broke through 100,000 Xia troops and captured Dou Jiande.

……

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were more to win more with less. Strength and weakness are never about the number of troops.

War, until the last moment, is always unpredictable.

Ma Kaishan has 1,000 people, Li Yun has 2,000 people, and Li Ye's personal guards are 500 people.

plus 1,000 defenders at Tongguan, leaving 500 and 4,000 together.

Li Hanzhi's army of 30,000 was caught off guard by Gao Xingzhou in the early stage and defeated nearly 10,000 troops.

Now there are more than 20,000 people under the gate, and there are only 7,000 people with Gao Xingzhou.

Li Ye was both apprehensive and excited in his heart, and in addition to the blood in his chest, he was proud.

Although the surrounding generals repeatedly advised Li Ye to stay in the city, Li Ye knew that this was his battle of fate and the fate of the Tang Dynasty!

How can a great era come without being stained with blood?

Win or die!

Let the blood of the enemy witness the glory of the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty again.

Or, with his own blood, he pulled the curtain down on the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ye knew that his behavior would definitely be ridiculed as reckless by many keyboard warriors in later generations, but at this time, how could he stay out of it?

Only by fighting side by side with the soldiers can you win their true respect!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

An earth-shattering roar erupted in Tongguan.

Under Tong Pass, the enemy heard the shouts, and some people began to flee and were shot by the black-armored cavalry beside Li Hanzhi.

In the camp, the morale of the Shence Army has risen to its peak. Your Majesty has not given up on us, Your Majesty has come to save us!

In an instant, the exhaustion of their bodies was swept away, as if their whole bodies had inexhaustible strength.

Li Hanzhi laughed cruelly, it took so much effort and so much thought to finally lure the emperor out of the turtle shell.

He doesn't feel like he's going to lose, although he always loses.

It's like a gambler who is always looking forward to winning the next hand.

Kill the emperor, Bianzhou promised that Hezhong and Guanzhong were his!

He knew very well that Bianzhou was lying to himself, but he didn't care, there were soldiers when there was territory in these years, and the land in Heyang was too small to let go of his ambitions!

Looking at the banner of the Son of Heaven, Li Hanzhi pulled out his long knife and pointed at the person wearing heavy armor under his banner, "Moyun Army, take off the emperor's head!" ”

The three thousand black-armored cavalry under his command let out a wolf-like howl.

Li Hanzhi went to the Yellow Nest alone earlier, wandering around, capricious, winning less and losing more, but he accumulated a black-armored cavalry, named Moyun Army, known as the elite, looting everywhere, hunting and killing the people is this army, the people gave Li Hanzhi the nickname of Moyun, Li Hanzhi simply named it after it.

The Moyun Army roared and rushed forward, but he stood behind the array with a thousand-strong army.

Li Hanzhi's cruelty is real, and his bravery is also true, but it is all for the weak and defenseless people.

Historically, this person definitely can't afford Li Ke's "Lu Bu" evaluation, and he has been defeated repeatedly, and it was Li Ke who supported him with one hand to let him gain a foothold in Heyang.

As soon as this guy stood up, he immediately secretly hooked up with Zhu Wen and led troops to plague the river.

Li Ye was wearing double armor and was guarded in the center by his personal guards.

There were also a thousand Praetorian Guards from Ma Kaishan on the periphery, and when they saw Li Hanzhi's black-armored cavalry rushing towards them, they immediately formed a formation to defend themselves.

The terrain under Tongguan is rugged, and it is a mountain road, which is not conducive to cavalry charge.

On the contrary, it has a great advantage over the infantry army, and the speed of the cavalry cannot be improved, but it is not as flexible as the infantry army.

Before the Moyun army could rush up, the rain of arrows fell head-on, dozens of horses fell, and more than a dozen horses tripped down.

Li Yun commanded the Huazhou soldiers to form a formation, with spears lined up and cold flashing.

The cavalrymen were full of fear, and they slowly retreated.

How could Li Yun let them go, and yelled: "Come in!" ”

The spears advanced in formation, and the cavalry became even more panicked, and even a few people fell off their horses.

However, the four-legged horse still ran over the two-legged man, and when he saw the cavalry leaving, Li Yun did not chase after him, but guarded the side of the pro-guard army and advanced to the camp together.
