Chapter 32: The Beginning of the Broken City

East Gate of Chang'an City.

Zhang Ji's armor was added, living on the east gate tower, carrying swords on the left and right, his expression was extremely nervous, and Zhang Xiu was stationed in front of the city gate, standing solemnly like a door god waiting.

"Lord Qi, General Xu Rong has sent a letter, the army is ready, just wait for the imperial army to enter the city, and then join forces with the outside and take Guo Yan and Li Dao in one fell swoop. ”

At this time, the young general who had gone to pass on Xu Rong came back to pray.

"That's fine. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ji also relaxed a little, he was afraid that Xu Rong would suddenly not agree, but unfortunately he didn't have any bad intentions and couldn't imagine that he had been used by Xu Rong.

In the East Gate City, countless soldiers, archers, and foot soldiers have been ambushed in the streets and alleys, Xu Rong, Li Dao, and Guo Yan are waiting in one of the secret places, waiting for the imperial army to enter the city, and that is the moment for them to move.

"Calculate the time, the army of the imperial court should be coming. Xu Rong raised his head and said unusually calmly.

"This battle is a matter of life and death, and we can only win, not lose. Guo Yan said with firmness in his eyes.

"Don't worry. ”

"I have emptied all the people of Dongcheng, and the radius is full of our army and ambush soldiers, as well as rockets and oil, as long as the imperial army comes in, it will be like a dead valley, in a dilemma. Li Wei sneered, looking very cruel.

And at the moment.

Outside the East Gate.

The earth had begun to shake violently, and you could even clearly hear the sound of the horses and the footsteps of countless armies advancing in the wind.

"It's finally here. ”

Hearing the sound of the army rushing forward, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's nervous mood also relaxed a little.

The imperial army has arrived, and the next step is to join forces with the outside and take Chang'an.

"Guo Yan, Li Dao's head, I must get it and dedicate it to the Son of Heaven. Zhang Xiu clenched the silver spear in his hand, full of fighting spirit.

"Tell the general, the imperial army is less than two miles away from my east city gate. A scout came to the city and shouted loudly.

"Chuan Ben will order to open the city gate and welcome the imperial army into the city. Zhang Ji ordered loudly.

Suddenly.

"No. ”

The soldiers below immediately received the order and opened the city gates.

And the three of Guo Yan, who were hidden in the shadows, were also dancing with their eyebrows at the moment, looking extremely excited.

"As Ben General expected, the little emperor was really fooled. Xu Rong laughed proudly.

"If the imperial army can be destroyed this time, General Xu should be the first to take the credit. Li Dao arched his hand and smiled.

"The city gate has been opened, and the army of the imperial court is about to enter the city, and the whole army is ordered to prepare. Guo Yan also ordered excitedly.

The three of them rubbed their fists and feet, just waiting for the army to enter the city, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"The army is moving slowly. ”

When Lu Bu's army was less than a kilometer away from the east gate of Chang'an City, Lu Bu suddenly ordered.

"No. ”

Many partial generals received orders and conveyed the generals' orders.

The army, which had been galloping quickly, also slowed down its march at this time, and became extremely hurried.

Originally, it only took a few dozen breaths to be able to get close to the front of the city a hundred meters, but under the deliberate slow speed of the march, the time without a stick of incense could not be reached at all.

"Why has the imperial army slowed down?" Zhang Xiu stood in front of the city, looking at the slow army in front of the city suspiciously.

And the three of Guo Yan, who were ambushed in the city, were also anxious.

"What's going on, why hasn't the imperial army entered the city yet?" asked Guo Yan at a young general.

"Returning to the lord, the last general didn't know what had happened, but the imperial army suddenly slowed down after a thousand meters in front of the city. The young general said respectfully.

"Could it be that the little emperor has found out that he is tired?" asked Guo Yan uneasily.

"Impossible, the spies came to report just now that the army outside the city is indeed more than 100,000, and it is the entire imperial army, so I am sure that the little emperor has been fooled. Xu Rong said with certainty.

"Then why did they slow down their march?" Guo said in surprise.

"I should be about to enter the city, I'm afraid it will affect the order of the march. Xu Rong thought of a far-fetched reason, but after saying this, a sense of unease also emerged in his heart.

"Then keep waiting, they'll come in sooner or later. "There is no way to do it now, and Guo Yan can only bite the bullet.

On the other side, the main gate of Chang'an.

Guo Yan thought he was clever and thought that the strategy had succeeded, so he transferred 45,000 people from the 50,000 troops originally stationed at the main gate to the east gate, leaving only 5,000 people to guard the east gate.

Trample... Stomp.

Suddenly, the main gate of Chang'an began to shake, although it was a little slight and not very strong, but it was also heard by the garrison on the city tower.

"Did you hear anything?" asked Soldier A, looking at the man next to him.

"No?" replied Soldier B in surprise, a little inexplicable.

"I hear the sound of horses' hooves, as if they're coming for us?" said Soldier A, solemnly, looking towards the city.

"It's impossible, today the lord has transferred a large number of men and horses, obviously because he got the information that the enemy army will not attack the city. Soldier B affirmed.

But the voice had just fallen.

Stomp, trample.

Suddenly, the sound of the earth-shaking stamping suddenly became intense, and the whole tower trembled, as if the sky was about to fall.

"The army... It is the army of the imperial court. ”

"The Son of Heaven has come to attack the city...."

Then.

Soldier A pointed to the front of the city and shouted in horror.

Thousands of soldiers on the entire tower stood up suddenly, all looking in horror.

Thousands of meters in front of the city, the banner is in the sky, under the banner, the black pressure is pressed, combined into hundreds of military formations towards Chang'an City, the forefront is tens of thousands of cavalry, and then the foot soldiers, archers, all pressed towards the front of the city.

And in front of this surging impact, a powerful man dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a crown on his head is particularly conspicuous, it is the son of heaven of this great man, the heaven of tens of millions of people.

"General, the Son of Heaven has attacked the city, what should we do?"

The ferocious impact of the 100,000-strong army shocked the entire Chang'an City.

"Don't panic, defend the tower, I'll send someone to tell the lord. Li Su said in a panic and immediately sent someone to tell Guo Yan.
