Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 107 It's dawn, it's time to end
Jia Xu looked at the hesitant Niu Fu, and said again.

"Leader, the other generals must not know about Xu Rong's return to the imperial court for the time being, otherwise the other generals will definitely withdraw. I am afraid that the alliance will be torn apart by then, which is not conducive to the leader's idea of ​​avenging the country. "

"But Brother Wen He, the fact that Xu Rong did not participate in the siege of Chang'an City will soon be known to other generals. How will we explain this matter?"

"If you don't explain, just say that you don't know the specific situation. In short, delay this in advance."

The sadness on Jia Xu's face could also be seen clearly under the light of the fire. Maybe he already knew the final end of the alliance, but how would he deal with himself.

The third round of siege has also been disintegrated. At this moment, the moon in the sky is quietly setting, and the sky is getting brighter and brighter.

Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji once again came to the Niu Fu army. Only then did they find out that Jia Xu was also in the army, and they became suspicious.

"Brother Wen He, didn't you accompany Hu Zhen in the camp? Why did you come here suddenly?" Li Jue was the first to ask.

"General Li, if there is no major event in the camp, Hu Zhen alone is enough. As the leader's supervisor, I am here to assist the leader in attacking the city." Jia Xu said.

Before, Niu Fu and Jia Xu had already discussed what they would say to the generals. In short, Xu Rong's surrender to the court and the military camp being attacked by the court army cannot be said at this moment, even if these two things There is no actual evidence that it must have happened, but at least for the soldiers on the front line, this is definitely a morale-destroying behavior.

Li Jue felt that Jia Xu's words were a bit suspicious, but he couldn't find out where the specific doubts were. However, having one more conspirator would be helpful for the frontline operations, because their army has not yet captured the city wall.

"I don't know Brother Wenhe, what strategy can help us attack the city wall?"

"General Li, the east wall of Chang'an City is the most heavily defended, so several rounds of attacks won't take it down. Why don't you take your troops to the north gate and attack the north gate with Fan Chou. I heard that General Fan is the best at attacking. With the help of General Li, it must be easier to take down the North City Gate."

Jia Xu looked at Guo Si and Zhang Ji. They both looked in the direction of the South City Gate. I am afraid that these two people did not want to face the solid defense of the East City Wall, so they also had corresponding thoughts, but the South City Gate was closed. There is no Xu Rong's troops here, so no troops can be allowed to go to the south gate.

"As for General Guo and General Zhang, they will continue to attack the east wall with the leader."

"Why?" Zhang Ji asked suspiciously, he really didn't want to continue attacking the east city wall.

"In order to contain the defenders on the east wall and create more opportunities for the siege soldiers at the north gate."

"Everyone, check your troops first. After the check is complete, start the first siege of the day."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji returned to their own army, and asked the generals to count the number of people, rest where they were, and continue to attack after a while.

Niu Fu also started to ask his lieutenant to start counting the number of people. It was too dark to count the number of people before, so he didn't do it. But now that the city has been attacked for three rounds, it's time to learn about the specific situation in the army. Condition.

Xu Rong was waiting for the latest news from the front line in the General's Mansion in Lantian County. Last night, according to Li Ru's plan, he asked the envoy to deliver the letter to the allied army when the army was halfway, and then continued to station the army in the Halfway from Lantian County to Chang'an City, he waited until the Allied forces arrived in Chang'an City before withdrawing the army.

Xu Rong, who returned to Lantian County, sent two groups of people to inquire about the news on the front line. One group of people observed the battle ahead from a distant place, and the other group of people obtained the latest news in Chang'an City from Li Ru.

"General, my subordinates have observed that Niu Fu and others have withdrawn their troops and are resting in place."

"What's the latest situation in Chang'an City?"

"In the west of Chang'an, there is no one attacking the south wall. The main force of the Allied forces has been attacking the east gate, but they failed to take it after three rounds. The Fan Chou army in the north of the city has also been attacking the north gate, and they failed to take it after four rounds. Chang'an It cannot be observed inside the city, but the defense of the city wall is still very strong."

"Continue to explore."

"Yes, General"

The scouts sent by Xu Rong to the front line will report news almost every half an hour, but because the sky was dark before, it was impossible to see the situation ahead with the naked eye, so the content of the report is relatively small, and now the sky is bright , Scouts can also better understand the combat situation ahead.

Li Ru's envoy soon arrived at Xu Rong's mansion.

"General, I am the envoy sent by Li Ru. The envoy asked me to tell the general that everything in Chang'an City is safe. His Majesty is commanding the battle at the front. The soldiers are brave and good at fighting. The people have woken up. Although they know that there is a war outside, But under the management of the Northern Army, the law and order in the city is no different from usual."

"Go back and tell the envoy that I have done everything he ordered."

After hearing Xu Rong's words, the envoy returned from Lantian soon.

The allied forces in the east of the city are a little tired after a night of fighting, and they are taking the opportunity to take stock and take a break.

The school lieutenants under each general quickly counted their remaining soldiers.

Among them, there are still 7000 people in Li Jue's army, including 5000 injured, and a total of 8000 people died.

There were 2 people left in Guo Si's army, including 4000 wounded, and a total of 5000 died.

There were 3000 Niu Fujun left, including 6000 wounded, and a total of 7000 died.

Zhang Jijun had 4000 men left, including 2000 wounded, and a total of 6000 died.

After three rounds of siege, from the original 13 people to the current 4000 people, including 7000 wounded soldiers.

After counting the soldiers of each army, Li Jue took his soldiers to the North City Gate where Fan Chou's army was located.

Fan Chou was very surprised to see Li Jue's army coming. He was used to attacking the city alone, although he could have attacked the east gate with this group of people.

However, although Fan Chou attacked the north city wall alone, he fought bravely, so the defenders at the north city gate were more stressed than the east city gate.

But this does not mean that Fan Chou has been attacking all the time. After all, he does not have many soldiers in his hands, and the continuous force attack will also consume the soldiers' physical strength and morale. Therefore, in order to be able to attack better, the rest time for his troops is also the allied forces. longest of all.

When Li Jue's army came here, it was the time when Fan Chou ordered the army to rest.

"General Fan, your army is really brave. It looks like you are about to take down the northern city wall." Li Jue said flatteringly.

"General Li, why did you come to me suddenly? How is the situation at the leader's side? Did you break into Chang'an City?"

"General Fan, the defense of the eastern city wall is too strong. Although the allies have a large number of troops, they have been unable to attack for a long time, so the leader of the alliance sent me to attack the northern city wall with the general, hoping to break through the northern city gate and enter Chang'an City."

"I finally sent you because the leader finally found out that I was too tired to attack the North City Gate alone, but I didn't expect to send you here because the East City Gate was difficult to break through. It's just why the leader thinks that the North City Gate is so easy to break through. Woolen cloth."

Fan Chou was a little angry, it was already difficult enough for him to attack a city gate desperately, but the leader actually said that the east gate was more difficult to attack than his place, how could he not be angry.

Li Jue looked at Fan Chou's expression and knew that Fan Chou was a little upset, but what he said was indeed said by the leader and had nothing to do with him.

"General Fan, don't worry about these things. Now that I'm here, how about discussing how to attack Chang'an City?"

"What's your opinion, General?"

"When I came, I saw that General Fan had just sounded the drum to stop the soldiers. I also led the troops here. How about we two armies rest where we are, and after a while, we will attack together. Your army will attack the west side of the northern city wall. My army will attack the east side of the northern wall."

"feasible."

After confirming the next attack plan, Fan Chou ordered the school lieutenant to start adjusting the troops, moving the army to the west to make room for Li Jue's army, especially since Li Jue's army was much larger than him.

Compared with the fatigue of the soldiers outside the city, the situation of the defenders inside the city was relatively good. Taking advantage of the news of the enemy, Huangfusong asked the school lieutenant Liang Yan to count the remaining soldiers.

After three rounds of attacks by the enemy, the soldiers on the city wall have changed four or five batches, with heavy casualties. The wounded battalions inside the inner wall have been filled with wounded soldiers brought from the city wall.In order to provide better conditions, new battalions of wounded soldiers had to be set up in the city to meet the increasing number of wounded soldiers.

There are not many doctors in the army, and it is too late to take care of hundreds of soldiers, so many wounded soldiers brought down from the city wall are still facing death in the end. Zhang Ming wanted to order the imperial doctor to come from the palace, but was rejected. Huangfusong stopped it, the reason was that the imperial physician was dedicated to treating His Majesty, and ordinary soldiers were not qualified to enjoy it.

Helpless, Zhang Ming could only make a compromise and let the doctor in Chang'an City come to bandage the wounded soldiers to see a doctor. After all, at this time, he did not want to argue with Huangfusong on this issue, otherwise it would interfere with Huangfusong's battle.

Huangfusong, who was paying close attention to the situation outside the city, also discovered that Li Jue's army was going to the North City Gate. Suddenly, he couldn't be in two places by himself.

In the end, he decided to let his lieutenant Zhang Meng lead [-] soldiers to the North City Gate to help out.

Zhang Meng, his father Zhang Huan, was a well-known Zhonglang general during Emperor Heng's period.When Huangfusong was appointed by the court as General Zhengxi, due to the lack of available generals under his command, Zhang Meng was dug out and served as a school lieutenant under him.

"Yes, General."

Zhang Meng then went to the barracks under the city wall and began to select soldiers. Zhang Meng's father was famous, but he himself was only a new general and needed more training, so the soldiers selected this time were mainly soldiers who had been trained regularly. As for the newly recruited recruits, they will temporarily stay at the Dongchengmen Barracks.

After Zhang Meng selected [-] soldiers, Liang Yan reported the situation of the guards at the east gate again.

"General, there are more than 1 hard-trained soldiers at the east gate, [-] new recruits, more than [-] wounded, and about [-] dead soldiers. The bows and crossbows in the city have been exhausted, and all the stones depleted."

"understood."

Huangfusong said without a tone.

But Liang Yan frowned a little. Although the enemy army outside the city lacked Li Jue, an important force, the number was still not small.

"General, was it too much for Zhang Meng to choose [-] soldiers just now? Although the enemy army at the north gate has increased the strength of Li Jue's army, the pressure is much greater, but after all, it is still not as difficult as the east gate. Besides, there are still more than ten thousand soldiers guarding the city at the north gate of General Yan Zhong."

"Liang Yan, do you have a look at this?"

Huang Fusong took out a letter from his sleeve. It was a letter sent by Lu Bu's envoy. The letter clearly stated that they had captured the enemy's barracks and established a defensive formation.

"I guess it won't be long before the soldiers who fled from the enemy's barracks will arrive here. When the enemy knows that the barracks has fallen, they will find a way to return to the defense instead of continuing to besiege the city here. So I handed over these soldiers to Zhang Meng just let him exercise, in fact, Chang'an City is no longer in danger."

"General Lu is brave, he did not expect to take down the enemy camp so quickly."

"However, although Chang'an City is no longer in danger, we still need to guard Chang'an City to prevent the enemy from doing things like thieves jumping over the wall."

"Yes, General."

Immediately afterwards, Huangfusong went to the turret again to explain the specific situation to His Majesty. At this moment, His Majesty, like the soldiers, had not slept all night. In addition, he was standing in the turret on the city wall and wearing armor, so he had a slight cold.

After all, Zhang Ming is different from these soldiers. He does all kinds of training every day, and his body is strong enough to survive the winter night. But he can't do it. He has spent many years in the deep palace, especially under the supervision of Dong Zhuo. He dare not learn some Self-defense skills, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will suspect that His Majesty is going to rebel.

After what happened on the city wall this time, Zhang Ming has decided that when he returns to the palace, he must learn martial arts for a while, not for fighting, but just for strengthening his body so that he can better handle state affairs in the future.

The fourth round of attack at the East City Gate was launched again. Compared with the first three rounds, this time it was much weaker. However, Huangfusong did not relax, and still adopted the method of the first three rounds of defense.

Some of the soldiers who escaped from Hu Zhen's barracks became refugees directly and went to other places, and some went to Chang'an City. Most of the soldiers who went to Chang'an City were intercepted and killed by Gao Shun's trap halfway.

However, there are still a small number of Hu Zhen soldiers who crossed the blockade line set by Gao Shun in the dark of night, and successfully walked in the direction of Chang'an City. At this time, two hours have passed since the barracks was attacked, and half an hour later. Time will arrive outside Chang'an City.

These fleeing soldiers actually formed a small group of forces on the way, numbering dozens of people.
