Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 Send Hao Zhao to attack Chang'an

As soon as Xia Houyuan died, Cao Cavalry's morale immediately dropped, and many people chose to surrender and escape.There were also many Cao cavalry soldiers who rushed to Xue Rengui desperately, wanting to kill Xue Rengui and avenge Xia Houyuan.

At this moment, another [-] cavalrymen were killed from a distance, and it was Gao Changgong who charged over with the cavalrymen.

Cao cavalry was flanked again and again, and suddenly collapsed.

Hao Zhao's side was still resisting Wei Yan, but the large army over there collapsed.The morale of Hao Zhao's soldiers also plummeted. Hao Zhao couldn't hold on any longer, so he immediately broke off contact with Wei Yan and retreated towards Du Ling.

But before arriving in Duling, he was surrounded by soldiers led by Gao Changgong.Hao Zhao recruited more than 2000 cavalry along the way, but these people had no morale and chose to surrender without even thinking about it.

Hao Zhao had nothing to do. There were less than 20 people who dared to fight with him. Facing tens of thousands of enemy troops, Hao Zhao did not have the courage to choose to break through. After all, he was not known for his bravery.

"Surrender!" Hao Zhao made the wisest choice.

Gao Changgong didn't persuade Hao Zhao to surrender, but asked someone to send him to Nanyang and then to Shouchun.He went directly to attack Du Ling himself, and Du Lingling chose to surrender.Gao Changgong left a thousand defenders behind, and went straight to Chang'an.

Xue Rengui was rushing to Chang'an. He gathered Cao Jun's cavalry along the way. The deserters fled if they could, and surrendered if they couldn't.

Wei Yan cleaned the battlefield behind. In the battle of Lantian, not many Cao troops were killed, not even 1000 people. Except for those who surrendered, most of them fled.

There are many horses left on the battlefield, and there are also many prisoners. He needs to put away these trophies.

Wei Rui also received the news that Xia Houyuan had been defeated, and he immediately sent troops to Chang'an, and sent people to Huaili to transfer troops.

The current leader of Huaili is Hua Rong. Since entering Liangzhou, Hua Rong has been with the army, but he has no chance to lead the army alone.Both he and Yang Zhi followed Xue Rengui, and followed him for dozens of battles, and made great contributions.

Both of them are old people who have followed Zhang Yi for a long time, and they have always given up the opportunity to make meritorious service to others.These newcomers were basically sent to be stationed in various places. Xue Rengui and Wei Rui also led the troops out, and the Huaili camp was under the command of the two.

After receiving the news from Wei Rui, the two discussed immediately. Hua Rong took 5000 infantry troops to Chang'an to join the army. Changling and Yangling headed towards Gaoling.

As you can tell from the name, this is the location of the emperor's mausoleum.Maoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, Pingling is the tomb of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fu, Anling is the tomb of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Changling is the tomb of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, and Yangling is the tomb of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Gaoling was Zuo Fengyi's headquarters, and Yang Zhi came all the way from here, directly intercepting the enemy troops coming from Zuo Fengyi's area.

Because Guanzhong focused on defending Chang'an, there were not many soldiers and horses in other places. Zuo Fengyi's soldiers and horses were only stationed here because they were often ravaged by the Huns.Later, the Southern Huns surrendered, and these soldiers and horses became the people who supervised the Southern Huns, but the number was only three or four thousand, and the number of Huns who could be mobilized was only more than ten thousand.

Yang Zhi blocked the road, blocked the main road, and blocked the reinforcements at Zuo Fengyi. If they wanted to make a detour, they would have to spend several more days.

After Xue Rengui, Wei Rui, Gao Changgong, Zhuge Liang, Hua Rong and others met in Chang'an, they immediately began to attack.

Chang'an has been repaired by Zhong Yao, Zhang Ji and others over the years, and has somewhat restored its former dignity.When Cao Cao retreated, he left behind [-] soldiers and horses, Xia Houyuan and Zhang Yun took [-] out, but less than [-] of them escaped here and there.

Of the three generals in the original city, Xia Houyuan was killed in battle, Zhang He was seriously injured, and Hao Zhao was arrested.And Zhong Yao returned to Luoyang with Cao Cao, and Zhang Ji could only rely on Zhang Ji in Chang'an.

Since Zhang was from Gaoling, Zuo Fengyi, he was born in a poor family, but he was very talented. It can be said that he was both civil and military.

Zhang Ji had been an official in Zuo Fengyi in his early years, and the military and county officials had always achieved the Xinfeng Order. His political achievements were the first in the county, and he was one of the few people who was elected as Xiaolian and Maocai.In history, he served as the governor of Yongzhou, led troops to attack Hanzhong, and put down many rebellions in Liangzhou.

Therefore, when there are no generals available in the city, Zhang Ji himself directs the layout of the city defense.

But how could Xue Rengui, Wei Rui and others let him arrange it with peace of mind, and assembled a large number of well rails, ladders and rush cars outside the city the next day.And cut down a lot of trees to make a crash, and then launched an attack into the city.

Seeing a car crash outside the city, Zhang immediately ordered people to block the city gate.The soldiers blocked the gate of the city with stones, and it was impossible for a car to hit the gate.

But crashing cars has never been the main force of Zhang Yijun's siege, and Zhang Yijun's strongest siege equipment has always been the trebuchet.Even without the trebuchet, Jinglan is very powerful.

Countless arrows shot over from the well and immediately suppressed the defenders of the city.Those strong crossbows can easily tear leather armor and kill people.

Moreover, a new weapon appeared on Jinglan, and a hundred Liannu improved by Zhuge Liang were sent to Jinglan.This new type of continuous crossbow can fire ten arrows in a row, and its power remains undiminished. The powerful firepower directly blinded the defenders on the city wall.The dead, the wounded, the rest fled.

The pawns easily attacked the urn city and gained a firm foothold on the urn city.Huarong boarded the top of the city with the infantry and commanded the battle.

Zhang Ji beheaded several deserters on the city wall, reprimanded them loudly, and sent them back to fight.

Hua Rong was attracted by Zhang Ji's voice. Seeing that Zhang Ji was a high-ranking official, Hua Rong immediately drew an arrow and shot at Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji saw an arrow flying from the corner of his eye, and immediately flashed it.But it was too late, he was shot in the shoulder, and was taken to the ground. .

When Cao Jun saw Zhang Ji fell to the ground, many people thought that Zhang Ji was dead, and immediately started to run away.

Zhang Ji got up from the ground enduring the pain, and said to the soldiers: "I'm not dead yet, all go back to fight."

But before he finished speaking, Hua Rong brought more than a dozen pawns to kill Zhang Ji, and put Jiang Huan Shou's knife on his neck.

Zhang Ji is indeed talented, but his own bravery is not strong. He wanted to kill himself, but he was tied up by Zhang Yi's soldiers.

After Zhang was captured, the dragons in the city were immediately leaderless. In less than two hours, the city gate was broken.Hua Rong led people to clear the stones at the city gate, and opened the city gate to let Xue Rengui and others enter the city.

　Thanks to Wang Kelin for the reward
