"Okay." Hua Yu nodded, "I have heard for a long time that General Chenggong is brave and good at fighting. With General Chenggong's help today, our army can take Chang'an City lightly. Naturally, it is no problem."

Therefore, Hua Yu asked Cheng Gongying's deputy general to lead Han Sui's old troops to escort Han Sui's family members to Changling City, while Cheng Gongying followed Hua Yu to Chang'an.

Cheng Yin and others had just defeated Han Sui's old army, controlled the situation in Chang'an City, and were taking stock of the situation of the soldiers and horses.

At this moment, Cheng Yin suddenly received news that Wu Kuang and his son had suddenly turned their backs on him, gathered He Jin's old army, and were attacking the south gate.

Cheng Yin was taken aback, and immediately said to Yang Qiu and the others: "This must be Hua Yu's conspiracy, and he wants to cooperate with the inside and outside to seize Chang'an City."

"The north gate of Chang'an must not be lost, otherwise, we will have no place to be buried."

Liang Xing agreed deeply, and nodded: "Although Wu Kuang and his son have some soldiers in their hands, they are not strong generals, and they are not our opponents."

"At the moment, the five of us will go to the north gate together. If we can kill Wu Kuang and his son, He Jin's old department will surely surrender without a fight."

"Exactly." Zhang Heng and Ma Wan also agreed.

So, the five men immediately rectified their troops and headed towards the north city gate.

By the north city gate, the battle was basically over.

Originally, the defenders at the North City Gate experienced a fight with Han Sui's old troops, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

Now, Wu Kuang and his son suddenly gathered He Jin's old troops to kill them, and immediately caught the Xiliang army at the North City Gate by surprise. In just half an hour, the North City Gate was taken by Wu Kuang and his son.

Standing on the gate of the city, Xun You said to Wu Kuang, "Cheng Yin and the others will definitely send troops to seize the north gate immediately when they hear the news. Our army will have a hard fight."

"As long as we can persist until the Lord's army arrives, Cheng Yin and others will surely perish."

Wu Kuang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Gongda."

"Not to mention the help of General Wei and the others, even with only these soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to last until the Lord's army arrives."

"Although my Luoyang army's individual combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Xiliang soldiers, there is not a single coward."

"I heard from my lord that Gongda is the best at marching and setting up formations. I will ask Gongda to command this battle."

The situation was urgent, and Xun You was not polite, and immediately cupped his fists: "In this case, Xun You is overstepping."

Xun You turned to look at the generals, and said calmly: "Wei Yue, Wu Kuang listen to the order."

Wei Yue and Wu Kuang immediately stepped out, cupped their hands and said, "The last general is here."

"Give you two five thousand soldiers and horses, and make sure to stop the enemies coming from the east."

"The last general takes orders."

"Cao Xing, Zhongji listen to the order."

"The end is here."

"Give you two five thousand soldiers and horses, and make sure to stop the enemies coming from the west."

"The last general takes orders."

"Cheng Lian and Wu Ban listen to the order."

"The end is here."

"I will also give you two five thousand soldiers and horses, and you must stop the enemies from the south."

"The last general takes orders."

Finally, Xun You bowed his hands to Zhong Shao and said, "Please join me, old general, to welcome the Lord's army into the city and attack the enemy from all sides."

Attack the enemy from six sides?

As soon as Xun You said this, everyone was stunned. What do you mean?
The enemy has always been flanked from two sides, and at most it has been flanked from three sides. How can there be the theory of flanking from six sides?

Cao Xing asked: "Master Xun's intention is to attack the enemy from three directions on both sides, and the combination will be a six-sided attack."

"It's just that in Chang'an City, apart from He Jin's old army, there is no army from our army. How can we attack?"

Wei Yue also frowned and said, "There are still [-] newly recruited soldiers in the city. Could it be that Mr. Xun has contact with them?"

Chong Shao stroked his beard, laughed loudly and said, "Based on my guess, Gongda wanted to lure the Lord's soldiers into the city and attack the Xiliang army."

"In such a battle, Cheng Yin and the others will not be able to escape Chang'an City even if they make mistakes."

Xun You nodded with a smile: "The old general is wise, and Xun You did exactly this."

Seeing that the generals were still confused, Zhong Shao explained with a smile: "Gongda's intention is to lower the ladders to the city so that the Lord's army can use the ladders to climb to the top of the city."

"And Cheng Yin and others are fighting our army in the city, so naturally they don't know that the lord will use this method to enter the city."

"And after the lord's army enters the city, they can easily reach the other three gates, kill the enemy army, and seize the city gate."

"Afterwards, the lord's soldiers will be divided into three groups, and together with our three-way army, they will attack from two sides, that is, attack from six sides."

"Otherwise, even if the lord leads the army to arrive, it will be difficult for the lord's army to enter the city with more than [-] of our army guarding the north gate."

Hearing Zhong Shao's explanation, all the generals immediately understood, and couldn't help admiring Xun You.

Zhong Shao is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, so it is not surprising that he can come up with such a method.

But Xun You has always been a civil servant, and he has never been on the battlefield, but he can not panic at such a critical moment, which shows Hua Yu's high ability to know people.

Xun You also admired secretly, General Zhong was worthy of being a great general of the Han Dynasty, even compared with Huangfu Song, he did not give way too much.

"Now that everyone understands." Xun You said flatly, without any complacency on his face, "Then let's do our jobs, I'm afraid the Xiliang Army is coming soon."

"Here." All the generals responded in unison, and began to separate to prepare to go.

After a while, the three-way soldiers and horses were ready.

Cheng Yin and the other five also brought their men and horses to kill them.

"Yang Qiu, Ma Wan, you lead your army to attack their east route."

"Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, you lead your army to attack their west road."

"I attack their south route."

"No matter which route is the first to break through, immediately divide the troops into three groups, one to attack the city gate, and the other two to assist the other two."

"Okay." Yang Qiu and the others agreed, and immediately divided up and left.

The offensive and defensive battle of Chang'an City, the offensive and defensive battle in the city, kicked off again.

Both sides know the importance of this battle.

Especially the Xiliang army, Cheng Yin and the others knew that if they lost this battle, there would be no place for them in the world.

Therefore, the Xiliang army's attack was extremely fierce.

The five of Cheng Yin were all at the forefront, arousing the morale of the Xiliang army, and their attack power was extraordinary.

But Wu Kuang, Wei Yue and others were not vegetarians either.

Wei Yue and Cheng Lian are the brave generals under Lu Bu's command, and their martial arts are by no means inferior to Zhang Liao's. Even if they face off against Ma Chao and Pound, they can still not lose within a hundred rounds.

Although Cheng Yin and other generals are also extraordinary in martial arts, they are much inferior to Ma Chao and Pound, so they are naturally no match for Wei Yue and Cheng Lian.

Although Cao Xing's martial arts is not as good as Wei Yue and Cheng Lian, his archery is as high as Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, and he caused great damage to the Xiliang army.

The three-way fight was very tragic, both sides were fighting to the death and refused to take half a step back.

Hua Yu's army has also reached the North Gate.

Chong Shao ordered the soldiers to lower the ladder from the top of the city to welcome Hua Yu's soldiers and horses into the city.

Of course, people can enter the city by using the ladder, but the horses can only stay outside.

However, this kind of trivial matter can't help Hua Yu.

Hua Yu sent some soldiers into the city, and the rest of the army divided into two groups, rushing to the east and west gates, which is also a strategy of cooperating with the inside and the outside.
