"Shoot the arrows, shoot them to death!" Wang Yun looked at death as if at home.Facing the charge of thousands of iron cavalry, he still stood in the middle of the palace gate, neither dodged nor dodged, without fear, he raised his long sword high and desperately ordered all the soldiers to shoot arrows.

"Old man, you are looking for death!" Huan Fei, who was riding in the lead, saw that Wang Yun didn't dodge, and suddenly he was furious, and rushed to Wang Yun like lightning, waved the round shield casually, and threw Wang Yun more than ten steps away. Then he fell to the ground at the corner of the palace gate.

However, Huan Fei was very measured in his strikes, and the round shield he swung had only a fraction of his strength, as if he had gently pushed Wang Yun with the round shield.But Wang Yun was really vulnerable. After retreating more than ten steps, he fell to the ground and his whole body fell apart. After struggling for a long time, he couldn't get up.

Without Wang Yun standing in the way, Huan Fei was as unstoppable as a god descending from heaven.With a sweep of the two-foot-long mace, he knocked down a large part of the guarding soldiers at the gate of the palace. Then he backhanded the hammer and swung the shield with his left hand, killing more than a dozen guards at the gate of the palace.

"Open it for me!"

"boom"

After sweeping away the soldiers under the palace gate, Huan Fei yelled violently, raised his mace and slammed it on the cross bolt of the palace gate.In an instant, the three hardwood door bolts juxtaposed up and down shattered, and the heavy palace door opened completely with a "bang".Immediately, Huan Fei galloped out first, followed by many soldiers of the Tiger Roaring Battalion, passing through the palace gate in the blink of an eye, and rushing into the pitch-black darkness.

Yingu stayed at the end, and when the soldiers passed through the palace gate one after another, he propped Wang Yun up on the corner of the wall with his spear on his back.Then he whispered: "Wang Yun, today I will spare your life because your adopted daughter is the wife of my family. Otherwise, Commander Huan Fei could smash you to pieces with a hammer just now. Hurry up Go out of the city and run for your life, just leave the city through the west gate or the north gate. When the time comes, you only need to report your name, and no one will make things difficult for you. If you hesitate a little, when Li Jue's army attacks the palace, you may never survive again. Here's the chance."

After kindly exhorting Wang Yun, Yinzhu hits his horse and leaves immediately without waiting for Wang Yun's answer.

Chapter 273

After the Wuwei army rushed out of the south gate, Wang Yun struggled to stand up against the base of the wall, walked to the gate of the palace, and stared at the west with absent-minded eyes.

The scene under the city just now didn't need to be explained by the general of the Wuwei Army. Wang Yun also knew that the general named Huan Fei had shown mercy to his subordinates.And the barbarian general who remained at the end protected him from being trampled and stabbed to death by the Wuwei iron cavalry. He didn't leave until all the Wuwei army left the city.

At first, Wang Yun was ignorant of what it meant, thinking that the Wuwei army wanted to capture him alive and deliberately spared his life.But what the barbarian general said before leaving made him suddenly realize that all this was because of his adopted daughter Ren Hongchang.

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Yun realized that Li Li was different from other Xiliang generals.Li Li is by no means a ruthless and vicious person, but a person with clear grievances and grievances, who must avenge all grudges and repay all kindness.

A person like Li Li who is so affectionate and sexual is definitely not a treacherous person.

This is what Wang Yun wanted to understand for a moment.It's a pity that he realized it too late, a big mistake has already been made, it is useless to repent, and regret is even more futile.

Suddenly, Wang Yun inexplicably felt that Ren Hongchang had chosen the right person to follow Li Li.Because Li Li is a rare hero in troubled times, he is scheming, treacherous and insidious, and has far-sighted strategies, and he is also a kind and righteous person, which is extremely rare.

In a daze, Wang Yun couldn't help thinking of his biological daughter Wang Ying.If he could understand Li Li's character earlier, and Li Li was willing to come to ask for marriage, he would definitely entrust Wang Ying to Li Li, not Lu Bu.

Wang Yun, who was devastated, no longer worried about the safety of the little emperor and the queen mother.He devoted all his life's efforts to the Han Dynasty, and even took the life of his own daughter in his sixtieth year, and now he is afraid that he will take the lives of all the old and young of the Wang family.Ask yourself, although he made a mistake in decision-making.But it is worthy of the Han Dynasty and worthy of the emperor's grace.What's more, he dared to conclude that Li Li would not harm the emperor and queen mother at this time. If the emperor and queen mother could fall into Li Li's hands in the end, it might be their blessing.As for him, Wang Yun, a dying person has nothing to love in life, and death is a kind of relief.

It's a pity that things in the world are hard to come back. Some people and some things are once missed.It can never be undone.

Perhaps because of the imminent end of consciousness, the discovery of conscience, or other reasons, the distraught Wang Yun wrote a line of big characters on the stone wall of the south gate with his blood-soaked fingers: "When a bird is about to die, its song also mourns; He is about to die. His words are also kind. Wuwei Lili, affectionate and righteous. There is a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. He is also a real husband in the world! Wang Yun never wrote."

"Da da da!"

"Hurry up, Wang Yun has taken the emperor and the queen mother away, hunt down Wang Yun!"

The moment Wang Yun wrote the last word, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound of horses stepping on the east side of the palace, and then Guo Bang, who was galloping on horseback, appeared in Wang Yun's sight with a loud cry.

"Wang Yun?" Guo Bang, who hadn't finished speaking, suddenly saw Wang Yun standing under the palace gate, and immediately galloped away.He yelled loudly: "Quick, rush over and tear Wang Yun's corpse into thousands of pieces!"

"Rebellious officials and traitors! This old man would rather die on the palace gate than die at the hands of traitors like you!" Wang Yun saw Guo Bang leading the army to charge towards him, and immediately he yelled sadly.Then he lowered his head and used all his strength to brazenly rush to the corner of the wall two feet away.

"Oh!"

With a dull sound, Wang Yun slowly fell to the corner of the palace gate, his head was deformed, and he died immediately.

"Pfft!" Guo Bang, who was rushing forward, stabbed Wang Yun's side with a knife, but he didn't hear Wang Yun's scream.

"Dead? The old man actually had the courage to hit the wall and die?" Guo Bang pulled out the blade and turned Wang Yun's body over. He saw Wang Yun's head was bleeding and he died.

For a moment, Guo Bang was in a daze, his resentment towards Wang Yun disappeared suddenly, and he admired Wang Yun's courage.After all, there are very few people in this world who really have the courage to commit suicide, and there are even fewer people like Wang Yun who are weak and weak Confucian scholars in high positions who dare to commit suicide, which is extremely rare.

"Puff puff!"

At the moment when Guo Bang lost his mind, thousands of soldiers who followed him waved their weapons and stabbed the dead Wang Yun, as if following Guo Bang's previous order of "shattering the corpse into ten thousand pieces".

"Stop! Stop all of them!" Suddenly, Li Jue rushed over and saw all the soldiers were dismembering their corpses. He immediately yelled and galloped to the gate of the palace.

"Enough is enough, Wang Yun has been dead for a long time. Death is like a lamp going out, and this matter is over!" Seeing the unrecognizable corpse of Wang Yun, Li Jue frowned and said.

Then Li Jue asked Guo Si, "Second brother, where are the emperor and the queen mother? What about the defenders here? How can there be only Wang Yun here?"

Guo Bang then said: "Just now when I came with the army, there were still many figures flashing on the tower. When Wang Yun hit the wall and died, those people ran away like a swarm, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The emperor and the queen mother I don't know where it went. But before we reached the south gate, there seemed to be a battle here. Brother, please look, there are dozens of cavalry corpses here. Judging from the color of the armor and the corpses of the horses, it should be Wenchang The Wuwei Army under his command."

Li Jue frowned suddenly, turned off his horse with a stern expression, strode to the corpse of the cavalryman, and knelt down to examine it.After a while, he got on his horse with a gloomy face, and said to Guo Bang in a deep voice: "Second brother immediately led the troops to surrender the rebellious army in the city, and strictly ordered the soldiers not to harass the people in the city, and those who disobeyed the order will be executed! As for the whereabouts of the emperor and the queen mother, we will wait." We'll talk about it after daybreak. Let's go!"

"No, all the soldiers come with me!" Guo Si could see that Li Jue was in a bad mood and seemed to be angry, so he immediately surrendered his hands and called the soldiers of the headquarters to rush away.

"Come here, bury Wang Yun's corpse, and choose a date to bury him respectfully!" Li Jue watched Guo Si lead his army away, glanced at Wang Yun's corpse, and ordered in a deep voice.After speaking, he reined in his horse and turned around, leading thousands of soldiers straight to the palace.

"Da da da"

"Look, Marquis Wen, the fire in Chang'an City is extinguished!" In the dark wilderness, Lv Bu led the army and rushed to Chang'an with torches.As he approached, Zhang Liao suddenly noticed that the flames over Chang'an were gradually extinguished. It was obvious that the capital had fallen, and the army of Li Jue and Guo Si had already occupied Chang'an.

"call"

Lu Bu looked up at the sky over Chang'an City in the darkness. Sure enough, the fire in the city was getting darker and darker. The war was over, and he was still one step late after all.Suddenly Lu Bu's expression changed drastically, he immediately reined in his horse and stopped, and raised Fang Tian's painted halberd to signal the army to stop advancing.

"Marquis Wen, what should we do now? Chang'an City has fallen into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. They have more than [-] troops and are now stationed in Jiancheng. The situation is over, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover from the defeat." Zhang Liao rode his horse and went Beside Lu Bu, said in a low voice.

"Damn it!" Lu Bu stared angrily at the towering Chang'an City in the darkness, and said in a deep voice, "We are late, Wang Yun and the Son of Heaven are afraid that something bad happened, and it would be futile to attack the city again. Wen Yuan , send a fast horse to Mei Wu to send an order to Chen Gong to immediately set fire to abandon the city. Inform Chen Gong that we will wait for him at Lantian Road according to the route we negotiated earlier, and then we will walk day and night, evacuate Xiliang as soon as possible, and go south to Jingxiang !"

"Ah! Marquis Wen, you mean we're going to go south from Wuguan to Jingxiang?" Zhang Liao asked in surprise.

Lu Bu nodded lightly and said with a gloomy expression: "Yes. Now Li Jue and Guo Si's army has occupied Chang'an, and then they will send a large army to wipe out the surrounding rebels, and then the entire Xiliang will be occupied by them. And we have less than 3 horses are definitely not their opponents. Even if they are trapped in Meiwu, they will not escape the fate of defeat sooner or later. Except for the lonely city of Meiwu, although Xiliang is big, there is no place for us to stand. There is a chance for a comeback.”

After Zhang Liao heard the words, even though he had every kind of reluctance in his heart, he had to admit that what Lu Bu said was very true.

After Dong Zhuo's death, most of the Xiliang Army's elite soldiers and horses were in the hands of Li Jue, and the other half were in the hands of Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Fan Chou, while the Wuwei Army was independent of the Xiliang Army. , into an army alone.Xu Rong's army stationed at the Lantian camp, although nominally surrendered to the imperial court, was actually watching.After Wang Yun came to power, instead of gathering the Xiliang army left behind by Dong Zhuo, he hunted and killed the surrendered soldiers wantonly, and even issued an order to kill Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Li and other main Xiliang army generals. It was extremely stupid and stupid.Under Wang Yun's bewildered order, although they temporarily occupied Chang'an City, they actually failed to take down many Xiliang troops. They could only send guards and retinues of ministers and ministers to defend the city.These armored soldiers usually scare the poor and the poor, but in the real battle of offense and defense, their combat effectiveness is extremely limited, and they are not useful at all.

And so it is.There were 3 or [-] defenders in Chang'an City, and they were completely vulnerable to the attack of Li Jue's army. In less than two hours, the city was captured by the Xiliang Army, and they scattered in panic.

Now that Chang'an City is lost, Lu Bu's army can't fight alone, even if there is Mei Wujian City, it is difficult to defend it.Because after Li Jue occupied Chang'an, it meant that most of Xiliang was under the iron hooves of the Xiliang army.In the land of Sanfu in Chang'an, it only takes Li Jue more than a month to completely wipe it out; in the west of Liangzhou, Li Li's Wuwei Army occupies half of Liangzhou, and the oppressive forces of Han Sui, Ma Teng and other princes are hard to breathe , is in danger of being destroyed at any time.If Li Jue and Li Li's uncle and nephew join forces, within half a year, the whole of Xiliang will be completely surrendered under the iron hooves of their uncle and nephew.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Lu Bu had no other way out except to leave Xiliang as soon as possible and go south to Jingxiang.

Zhang Liao secretly sighed in his mind: "In one night, the princes will be transformed into dry bones, and the dignified and gentle Marquis Lu Fengxian will be reduced to a family dog, exhausted. Under the twists and turns of the world, the world is so trifling! Troubled times are coming, and the world is unpredictable. ah!"

While his heart was shaking, Zhang Liao signaled his soldiers to return to Meiwu immediately and inform Chen Gong to abandon the city and go south.Immediately, under the leadership of Lu Bu, more than [-] troops bypassed Chang'an City and rushed to Lantian in the starry night.

Chapter 274

The night was silent and the wind was blowing.

Mei Wu, the main hall of the main hall.

Chen Gong stood at the gate of the palace, looking up at the sky above Chang'an.

I saw the flickering flames flickering in the night sky, gradually getting darker and darker, and soon after, it turned into a chaotic darkness and merged with the night.
