Han counter current

When passing by the woman, Gongsun Ba also warned a few words, it seems that, judging by his posture, he intends to take both the mother and daughter into the house.

"Hey, what is it, dear girl, don't pay attention to this ungrateful dog, just go, hum, go, let's go back to the house."

Looking at Gongsun Ba's back, the woman couldn't help cursing a few words, she didn't understand the meaning of the other's words, but, in front of her daughter, how could she not retaliate a few words.

A few days later, on the western border of Zhangye, a group of cavalry was speeding forward. There were about five thousand cavalry in this group, but ten thousand horses.

"General Pang De, our army is already approaching Zhangye, should we say the Lord's order now?"

On the battle horse, Gongsun Ba asked Pound while checking the surrounding terrain. He was a little overwhelmed by the continuous journey. After all, he was still injured.

"According to my lord's order, take Zhangye, Dunhuang and other places in the shortest possible time, seize Wuwei, and must control the three major racecourses in Xiliang before Han Sui returns to the army.

General Gongsun, we came late, so we can only attack Zhangye and others. General Ma Dai came ten days earlier than us, and I am afraid that he has made great achievements in battle by now. "

Pound's face was also covered with dust. If he was traveling in such a place, he would have to endure the test of wind and sand all the time. However, Pound's spirit was very good.

"So, is my lord going to attack Xiliang?"

"That's right, Han Sui led the army to attack Chang'an. Xiliang is the emptiest time, and this is the time for you and my son to show their talents."

"Hahaha, okay, General Pang, since that's the case, then you and I won't be too polite. I'll go and take the Xihai Juyan City first, and Zhangye will be handed over to you. See you in Wuwei."

"General Gongsun, my lord has repeatedly emphasized that the three racecourses controlled by Han Sui must be captured. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in Juyan City, there are Qiang people active there. You must be careful."

"Do not worry,,,,,,"

As the horses went away, Gongsun Ba's voice became smaller and smaller, and Pound could only shake his head. This time, he finally returned to Xiliang, and he had to show his skills.

Chang'an, after such a long and fierce battle, Han Sui still failed to take down this fortified city. Now, he has only less than [-] troops left, which can be regarded as hurting his vitality.

Although there were fewer defenders in Chang'an, the Xiliang cavalry was not good at attacking the city, which made this battle no progress at all.

Especially, when attacking the city yesterday, [-] cavalrymen suddenly rushed out of the city, scaring the Qiang soldiers and horses to flee in all directions, which further damaged the momentum of the attacking party.

"So, reinforcements have arrived?"

Han Sui stared at the distant city, his eyes full of unwillingness. After attacking for so long, he was about to take it down, but Cao Jun's reinforcements arrived unexpectedly, which made him feel good.

"No, Cao Cao's main force is still in Hebei. If reinforcements really arrived, how could there be only 5000 of them here? Moreover, in the battle yesterday, the enemy's [-] cavalry were not very effective.

In other words, it is very likely that this is the soldiers and horses drawn by the generals of Cao Jun from other places, not the elite of Cao Jun. Huh, I don't believe it. Cao Jun can still defend Chang'an in the case of two-front combat. "

It wasn't that Han Sui didn't want to retreat, but that this battle was his only chance to win Chang'an. He couldn't give up just because of five thousand cavalry, so the battle had to continue.

Chapter 470 From West to East 2

After several tentative attacks, Han Sui found that Chang'an's defensive strength hadn't increased much, and the [-] young men that Zhong Yao had summoned before were almost killed or injured.

Although [-] cavalry arrived, they would not be of much use in defending the city. Most importantly, Han Sui also dispatched troops from the rear.

In addition to mobilizing [-] cavalry from various cities in Xiliang, Han Sui also released the news that Chang'an would be dispatched soon, which made Laowang Shaodang's heart itch.

During this time, Shaodang Qiang, Baima Qiang, and Yelang Qiang plundered everywhere in Xiliang. Although they made some windfalls, they could not satisfy their desires.

More importantly, it has long been reported that there are treasures, food, and grass in Chang'an City. If anyone can take Chang'an and seize the food, grass, and supplies inside, it will be enough to feed another [-] troops.

With the stimulation of such interests, Shaodang Pharaoh and the others would definitely not want to give up this piece of fat, so, under Han Sui's repeated fooling, they sent troops to support Chang'an.

Excluding the dead and injured subordinates, and deducting the soldiers who escorted the spoils back to the tribe, the three Qiang tribes gathered [-] cavalry, and the three Qiang tribe leaders led them to Chang'an.

As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, they stayed in the city of Xiliang. Firstly, they had learned to behave well and knew that they had to protect their rear. Secondly, going to Chang'an was a gamble, and they dared not bet all of it.

In this way, Han Sui had another [-] soldiers and horses. Compared with the enemy troops in Chang'an, he still had this absolute advantage.

"Hmph, the biggest disadvantage of Cao's army is that they are fighting on two fronts. Before the war in Hebei subsides, I have the final say on how to fight Chang'an.

Yan Xing, pass on the order to order all the troops to take turns attacking the city, and you must not give the enemy a chance to breathe. In addition, you lead the army to cruise around the periphery of the battlefield, keep an eye on each city gate, and beware of the enemy cavalry raiding our army again. "

"No, this subordinate will do it now."

As for Chang'an, Han Sui was determined to win. As a man who rebelled in the early years and now has a separatist regime, the mere Xiliang is not his goal.

If possible, he would like to occupy Chang'an, Guanzhong and other places like the pre-Qin. As for dominating the world, he also thinks it is not impossible.

But the premise is that he must take down the city in front of him and defeat the defenders inside. Only in this way can his ambitions be realized.

Seven days later, in the territory of Huaili, a ragged and exhausted army was advancing. The leader of the army was Cao Zhen, a cavalry general under Cao Cao's command. He finally led his men through Hanzhong and set foot on the territory of Xiliang.

"Report, general, our army is already approaching the territory of Youfufeng. If we advance with more fanfare, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the enemy."

"Really? You've entered Youfufeng, come here, get a map."

Cao Zhen looked at the map cautiously with a tired face, and then he pointed to a city on the map and spoke.

"Send someone to this city and take my token to contact the family in the city. The rest of the people rest on the spot and tell the brothers that the war is about to start, and they have given me enough energy."

After Han Sui counterattacked Xiliang, although he took down many cities in a short period of time, not many cities were actually sent to attack. Most of the cities fell on the wind.

Under such circumstances, Han Sui definitely couldn't do anything to those aristocratic families and defenders in the city.Especially, after counterattacking Xiliang, he urgently needs to appease people's hearts, besides, he has to mobilize the main force to attack Chang'an.

Therefore, Han Sui didn't care about some remote cities in Xiliang, as long as these cities don't cause him trouble.

Even if it was a big city in Xiliang, he only left a few soldiers to guard it. After all, his goal was to capture Chang'an.

Two days later, Cao Zhen led [-] cavalry to take Fufeng and Xinpingdi, and then, before the news spread, he led the remaining [-] elites to march towards Chang'an.

At the same time, under the city of Chang'an, the attackers and defenders fought freely. Xiliang cavalry and Qiang warriors all jumped off their horses and tried to climb up the city, while the defenders in the city fought back strongly.

"It's really not easy to survive until now. The military division set up such a big trap, and I almost messed it up. Fortunately, everything is according to plan."

Looking at the enemy army that was still besieging the city, Zhong Yao's tired face finally showed a little bit of relief. Everything is almost over, and his mission is almost completed.

After night fell, the exhausted Xiliang army retreated to their tents, and most of them fell asleep quickly after eating.These days, they are too tired and desperately need sleep to restore their strength.

On the walls of Chang'an City, the defenders, who were also exhausted, ate food in a hurry, and then went back to the tower to rest. During the siege battle, the defenders were ultimately at a disadvantage.

In the middle of the night, the city gate slowly opened, and Cao Chun also put down his steel mask. For this day, he was aggrieved in the city for a long time. After receiving Cao Zhen's letter, he waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

"kill,,,,,,"

In the dark night, the torches flickering around, and the loud shouts of killing all alarmed the Xiliang army at once.

"Root the camp? The enemy general is quite courageous, dare to rob the camp at this time, hum, don't you think the old man is not prepared?"

After hearing the shouts of killing outside, Han Sui immediately put on his clothes, and then ordered all the soldiers and horses to be on alert.

Although the enemy came suddenly, it caused quite a panic in the Xiliang army, but Han Sui quickly calmed down his subordinates, and then the Xiliang army also started to fight back.
