super apocalypse

Chapter 219

Chang'an, the eternal imperial capital, has changed several masters in a short period of time. First, Dong Zhuo occupied it, but after a beauty trick, Lu Bu Wang Yun killed Lu Bu, and once took control of the imperial capital. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. On that day, Li Jue, Guo Si and others forcibly broke through, and Wang Yun jumped into the city to die.

In order to save Emperor Xiandi Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led a large army to attack and captured Chang'an again. However, even if a [-] Taiping army marched westward from Hangu Pass and approached Chang'an, Cao Cao's army was unstable and did not want to fight with the Taiping army. Fighting for the front at this time, before the Taiping army came, they led the army and the people to withdraw from Chang'an.

Therefore, when Zhang Jai and Gao Lan led an army of [-] vanguards into Chang'an, they realized that the huge Chang'an city had already become an empty city. : "Damn it, I really didn't expect that Cao Cao would be so timid. He didn't even dare to fight consecutively. My army hasn't arrived yet. He ran so fast. In vain, my lord still regards him as a strong enemy of my Taiping army!"

"Gao Lan! Don't underestimate the enemy!" In contrast, Zhang Jia seemed much calmer. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao is an extraordinary person who can be compared with other princes. I think he is so There must be a conspiracy to give in!"

"Conspiracy? Ha! Zhang Jaw, I think you must be thinking too much!" Seeing Zhang Jaw being so cautious, Gao Lan didn't take it seriously: "Don't forget, we have ten thousand elite cavalry in hand, the main force The army is not far behind, even if Cao Cao wants to cheat, we have to see if they can block the front of our Taiping army! What is there to worry about?"

"No, I always feel that something is wrong." Zhang Jai shook his head. Although it was difficult to figure out what kind of conspiracy Cao Cao was up to, he never relaxed his vigilance. He said: "Tonight, divide the soldiers and horses into two , stationed in the east and west of the city, in case Cao Cao cheats, we can echo each other!"

"Why are you dividing the troops?" Although Gao Lan complained in his mouth, he couldn't overcome Zhang Jia's worries. Seeing Zhang Jia's solemn expression, he immediately agreed to his request: "Forget it, divide the troops into two groups, and you and I will lead each one." Ten thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry are stationed in the east and west of the city. If anything happens, they will respond to each other."

The vanguard army always advances quickly. After days and nights of rapid marching, the soldiers were very tired and fell asleep quickly after nightfall. However, they did not know that there were some dark figures in several houses in Chang'an City. Came out of the secret passage and quietly sneaked out of the room.

Soon, the lurking shadows gathered together, and there were a total of 200 people. The leader immediately said in a deep voice: "According to the plan, half of the brothers will be left to set fire to the city, and the rest will follow me to the west of the city to burn the city." Seize the door!"

After the order was issued, the black shadows dispersed immediately, and nearly a hundred people scattered and sneaked towards various places in the city, while the others followed the leader and headed towards the west of the city.

Compared with these professional-looking black shadows, although the Taiping Army officers and soldiers guarding the west gate were all elite, they were already very sleepy in the dark night, and they were wiped out in a short time after encountering a sneak attack.

Looking at the scattered corpses on the ground, the shadow leader immediately greeted his subordinates, and randomly, one of them raised the torch on the top of the city high, which was a signal that had been agreed in advance.

Soon, flames erupted in many places in the city at the same time, but someone set them on fire deliberately. Because of the preparations in advance, although the fire was small at the beginning, it spread very fast, and it didn't take long. It became a prairie fire, soaring into the sky.

At the same time as the Taiping Army in the city was startled, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the city in the darkness. The leader of the black shadow saw it in his eyes and was pleasantly surprised. !"

Hearing the order, everyone rushed to open the city gate. Although they had already captured the city gate, the noise caused by opening the city gate was too great. In order not to disturb the Taiping army, they did not open the city ahead of time, but now that the army So, of course, it's time to open the city gate!

"Squeak!" The huge gate of the city opened slowly, and the army from outside the city filed in. The leader, with a strong figure and a black armor, was Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun, and he was accompanied by another man. The lieutenant, but Le Jin!

"General Xiahou, General Lejin, you are here. The brothers in the city have set fires according to the plan. I believe that the Taiping Army must be in chaos. Now is a good time to do it." The leader of the black shadow laughed softly: "Warring is not my specialty." , I would like to congratulate the two generals on their success!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun's face was full of smiles, and he said in his mouth: "Brother Shi A, you have worked hard this time. If you can successfully defeat the Taiping Army, you will have a great contribution!"

Le Jin also said: "Then ask Brother Shi A to guard the city gate for us. In case of any accident, it is also our way of retreat!"

Shi A clasped his fists and said: "Two generals, don't worry, with me Shi A here, the city gate will definitely be safe, and don't worry about it, just go!"

"Thank you!" Xiahou Dun and Le Jin thanked each other, and then led their troops into the city. At this moment, the flames in the city were burning, and the momentum was getting bigger and bigger.

The moment Gao Lan rushed out, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. Looking around, he saw that the huge Chang'an City was all under the blazing fire. The Taiping soldiers who were originally sleeping were here. At this moment everyone was awakened, panicked and confused.

"This...how did this happen?!" Standing on the spot, Gao Lan couldn't believe it. After a while, he just came back to his senses, grabbed the lapel of a personal guard, and asked loudly, "What's going on?" ? What the hell happened?"

The personal guard was responsible for guarding Gao Lan's safety. How could he know what happened? He immediately responded with a wry smile: "General, I don't even know what is going on. Suddenly, there was a fire in the city. It’s all burning, and now the fire is getting bigger and bigger, what should I do?!”

"What should I do?" Gao Lan frowned slightly, and he immediately calmed down. He said in a deep voice, "This matter must be Cao Cao's conspiracy. Immediately sound the horn, summon the soldiers, and some of them went to various places to fight the fire. Some of them will follow me to meet Cao Jun!"

Admirals are admirals, and this is where the strength of generals can be reflected. At a critical moment, Gao Lan showed his extraordinary commanding ability. After a short time, he gathered more than half of the soldiers. He led [-] troops to the west of the city. And go, wanting to meet Cao Jun who may appear.

"Kill!" Just as Gao Lan gathered his soldiers and horses for action, there was a sound of shouting and killing. On the street ahead, a large number of Cao Jun, led by Xia Houdun and Le Jin, charged over.

"Cao Jun is here!" Seeing this, Gao Lan held up his spear and shouted loudly: "All soldiers, prepare to fight!"

Both Xiahoudun and Le Jin, who were leading the army, did not expect that the Taiping Army's reaction would be so quick. A good sneak attack had now turned into an encounter. However, the two were not vegetarians, and looked at each other. After one glance, they all shouted in unison: "Kill!"

The night sky was deep and filled with angry flames. On the long street, along with the orders from the generals of both sides, an extreme impact suddenly broke out. The soldiers rushed out suddenly, clashing with swords and guns, entangled in one place, and the fight began.

After all, the Cao army came prepared, and the Taiping army was rushed by the Gao Lan organization. Although they were brave, they lost the opportunity. Once the two sides fought, the Taiping army fell into a disadvantage. .

Gao Lan fought hard to kill the nearby Cao Jun. His armor was already red with blood. He saw the serious casualties of the Taiping Army soldiers around him, so he couldn't help but shouted: "General Gao Lan of the Taiping Army is here, who dares to come to lead the death?" ?!"

Although they had the upper hand, the Taiping Army's bravery was truly astonishing. Xiahou Dun and Le Jin frowned when they saw the hard work of their own soldiers. At this time, they were surprised to hear Gao Lan's invitation to fight. Xiahou Dun immediately responded and shouted: " The thief will stop being so rampant and let me, Xiahou Dun, come and meet you for a while!"

Before the shouts fell, the horses had already been rushed out, a long knife pierced through the air, turned into a horse across the night sky, broke through the chaotic battlefield, and charged towards Gao Lan!
