Chapter 901 Surprise attack on Chang'an (3)

Xiahou Dun even said that he would break through the barrier within three days.

Cao Cao asked with a smile, "Really?"

"Yes."

"There is no joke in the army. If you can't attack Chang'an City within three days, what will you do?"

"The final general wishes to issue a military order. If Chang'an cannot be attacked within three days, please behead me!" Xiahou Dun said.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao asked someone to fetch pen and ink, and asked Xiahou Dun to issue a military order on the spot.

"Wait..." When Xiahou Dun signed, Cao Cao deliberately said: "Yuan Rang, you can think about it. Once you sign the paper, it will take effect immediately. If you don't capture Chang'an within three days, you will be forgiven by your life." crime."

"Humph."

Xiahou Dun has fought for many years and never took his life seriously.

If he really wanted to take on the task, he would rather die in battle than come back with his life, because if he didn't capture the city, he would embarrass Cao Cao if he came back.

After all, military orders are like mountains, and it is very difficult for Cao Cao to kill or not to kill.

With this in mind, Xiahou Dun signed the military order.

"Yuan Rang is so courageous." Cao Cao put away the military order with a smile, and said, "Leave this order to me first, I hope it will never be used..."

"Wonderful talent."

"Yes." Xia Houyuan took a step forward.

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Rang is in charge of attacking Chang'an, and Miaocai is on guard against Wuguan and Tongguan. The enemy troops in these two places cannot approach Chang'an and affect our army's attack on the city."

"Yes."

Xia Houyuan responded.

in fact
What Cao Cao thought in his heart was also to let Xia Houyuan go to guard Wuguan and Tongguan.

Only Xia Houyuan can accomplish this.

If it were Xiahoudun, he would be really hard to rest assured.

Cao Cao quickly assigned tasks.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan went to make preparations according to their respective tasks.

at night.

Sima Yi, who came later, found Cao Cao.

He brought an accurate message: "My lord, according to my detailed investigation, Xu Ding has indeed gone to Jiangdong and brought [-] elites with him. There are very few troops in the Central Plains now."

"Hahaha."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "As expected."

"Zhongda, how is the situation in Chang'an?"

Sima Yi replied: "The garrison of Chang'an has less than 3000 people. It is the first group army of the Huaxia Kingdom, No.17 Division, Brigade. This is a very weak army, and it seems that it has never participated in battle."

"The large batch of firearms arrived in Chang'an two days ago, and they are all stored in the Beicheng school grounds."

"Haha. Good, God has eyes." Cao Cao was already too excited.

If he gets this batch of equipment, he can form his own new type of army.When the time comes to confront Xu Ding, it will not be a problem.

"Lord."

Sima Yi has always been cautious, he cupped his hands and said: "I think it's better to be careful. Since Xu Ding raised his troops, he has won many battles, successively wiped out the Central Plains, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and then defeated the technologically advanced Western Shang Empire. Please think about it, my lord. Think, Xu Ding would really be so careless and give us a large quantity of firearms for nothing?"

"Chen would rather die than believe it!"

It was the eve of the war, and Sima Yi was still mourning loudly.

Although there is some truth to it, Cao Cao doesn't like to hear it.

For Sima Yi, he both likes and hates him.Every time he wants to do something, Sima Yi will stand up and persuade him with various reasons, it is best to give up.

The matter of coming to Chang'an this time, if Sima Yi had followed Sima Yi's thinking, he would not have come at all.

Isn't this batch of weapons a pity?

Cao Cao said: "Zhongda, it's great that you don't panic and be cautious when you encounter problems. But if you are too cautious, you will miss things. Some things that can be decided are also hesitating. You are so indecisive that it is difficult to achieve great things."

"My lord reprimanded me, please remember."

Sima Yi didn't persuade him any more.

Because he knows, persuasion is useless.

Still think about how to fight this battle well.

Outside Wuguan.

Lu Xun, who hid in the deep mountains, has been waiting for the arrival of Cao Jun.

I don't know if I stepped on shit luck today, or what, but news came early in the morning.Cao Cao's army has arrived in Chang'an.

Lu Xun was overjoyed.

In order to prevent Cao Cao from escaping, he hurriedly held a meeting to arrange combat tasks.

Those who participated in the meeting included generals of the 14th and 15th divisions, regiments and above.

Lu Xun hurried into the account, hung the map in front of his hand, and said, "Time is running out, so I won't discuss it with you, and will directly issue combat missions."

"All of the 14th Division, as the main force in the battle against Cao Jun, will march towards Chang'an in the next day. The 15th, 46th, and 47th Brigades of the 48th Division will set off immediately to capture Dashan Pass, Chencang, and Wuzhangyuan."

According to Lu Xun's plan, the two divisions he brought will all go into battle.

But only 14 divisions fought with the enemy.

The 15th Division is only responsible for containment.

Once Cao Cao wants to withdraw to Hanzhong, they will play a role.

That night.

The 15th division set off first.

Cross the mountains and head towards Wuzhangyuan.

Wuzhangyuan is the main way to enter Qishan.

It is also the most important strategic location.

Only through there can we reach Dasanguan and Chencang.

On the third day after the 15th Division left, the 14th Division crossed Wuguan and headed for Chang'an.

This army was led by Lu Xun himself.

It is also one of the most powerful units in the Second Army.

Within Wuguan.

It is about a hundred miles away from Chang'an.

Xia Houyuan was ordered to guard Wuguan, and had already deployed troops in this area.

A total of more than 1 troops blocked the intersection.

but
No matter how blocked the road is, it is useless.

Huaxia's artillery shells can blow up the towers, not to mention these sparse defense lines.

Lu Xun led the troops and swept them all the way without stopping for a moment.

clap clap clap.
boom!boom!
Artillery and rifles, mixed attacks.

It directly covered the battlefield ahead.

At the beginning of the battle, Xia Houyuan's [-] troops were all lying on the ground, not daring to move.Because the distance is too far, their bows and arrows can't shoot far.

If you stand up, you are a living target.

If it is a charge, it will not be able to reach the effective range.

Because of bows and rifles, the range difference is too far.

Before they can get close, they have to be wiped out.

The only way to survive is to stick to the ground tightly so that it is possible to avoid attacks.However, Lu Xun's artillery has been bombing, which will bring huge casualties to Cao Jun.

"Order, stop shelling!"

Lu Xun suddenly remembered that his task this time was not to kill many enemies, but mainly to capture the enemy troops.If a large number of artillery is used, Cao Jun may be killed.

In order not to affect Xu's plan, Lu Xun no longer used artillery.

"attack!"

he shouted.

The cannons were all turned off.

There are two companies of troops, forming the left and right vanguard troops, and running forward.

Then came the Chinese army led by Lu Xun.

clap clap clap.
Those two companies were the commandos formed by Lu Xun, armed with light machine guns and very powerful firepower.

On the other hand, the enemy's bow and arrow range is not enough, so they can only be beaten passively.

They swept across.
Wherever they passed, the enemy fled.

"They're coming, they're coming."

"Run!"

Many soldiers did not obey the command, and their fear made them dare not fight with the Huaxia National Army again.

Seeing the Huaxia National Army rushing, they all ran away.

clap clap clap.
Lu Xun led the army and advanced all the way.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Cao Jun was repelled.

"Notify the battalions, don't stop, fight all the way to the city of Chang'an, and establish a line of defense." Lu Xun said.

"promise."

The brigade commanders beside him all responded in unison.

Xia Houyuan's security force was defeated at the first touch.This caused Xiahou Dun's troops to be threatened as they stepped up their attack on Chang'an.According to the original plan, it would take three days to take it, but it took two days.Moreover, the defenders of Chang'an were extremely tenacious and their firepower was so fierce that Xiahou Dun could not attack at all.

After two days and one night of bloody battle, Chang'an City is still as stable as Mount Tai.

For Cao Jun, whether he can capture Chang'an is no longer important.What's important is that Lu Xun behind him has already defeated Xia Houyuan, and the troops are overwhelmed.

If they do not retreat, they will be flanked by front and rear.

"My lord, my lord..." Xia Houyuan returned to Cao Cao's camp with an elite force, and said eagerly, "The Huaxia army is too powerful to fight, and the general will not be able to withstand it."

"The battle has just begun, and you can't stand it anymore?"

Cao Cao asked.

Before that, he carefully watched Xiahou Dun's siege.

A team of thousands of people rushed forward, but few returned.

Facing the dense rain of bullets, the soldiers fell one by one.

Even heavy armor is difficult to block, at least it will be injured and lose combat effectiveness.

If hit in the head, he died instantly.

It is reasonable for Xia Houyuan to be unable to withstand Lu Xun's army, but Cao Cao did not expect that an army of tens of thousands would be defeated so quickly.

"My lord..." Xia Houyuan hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

Xia Houyuan said: "The Huaxia army is beyond imagination. They were thousands of steps away and attacked our army, but we were unable to attack them. In the battle just now, we hardly killed a single enemy soldier. It was defeated. The last general thought that we could not win this battle. It is better to retreat, please think twice, my lord."

"Then what about Chang'an? Just give up like this?"

"My lord, do you think we can still capture Chang'an when we are being attacked from both sides?" Xia Houyuan asked.

Until now, Cao Cao is unwilling to give up.

He was also thinking about the weapons and equipment in the city.

However, Xiahou Dun was in charge of attacking Chang'an and made no progress.

This shows that there is indeed a certain gap between his troops and the Huaxia National Army.

There is no possibility of victory in a two-front battle.

Cao Cao thought for a while, looked at Xia Houyuan, and said: "Our army has traveled thousands of miles, but we have not accomplished an inch. It is really not reconciled to return to Yizhou like this."

Cao Cao only spoke half a sentence.

Sima Yi hurriedly ran into the tent: "My lord, my lord..."

"Why is Zhongda panicking?"

Sima Yi said: "I just heard that the army guarding Wuguan has been defeated, General Xiahouyuan." Sima Yi just saw that Xiahouyuan was in the tent.

He simply asked Xia Houyuan: "General, how is the front line going?"

Xia Houyuan recounted the situation of the war.

Sima Yi turned back and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I suggest that you withdraw to Hanzhong immediately."

"Zhongda, we finally came out..."

"My lord. At this moment, it is a blessing that our army can safely withdraw to Hanzhong. Chang'an is obviously a trap set by Xu to lure us into the bait. I believe that there are Huaxia's troops around Chang'an. If If we don't withdraw, the consequences will be very serious. Please be careful, my lord, or withdraw the troops."

Sima Yi earnestly persuaded.

"Let me think about it..." Cao Cao walked to the door of the tent, he looked into the distance, the light of the bullets kept going, and the deafening gunshots kept coming.

Standing at the door for a while, he turned around and said, "Get out."

"Zhongda, go and deliver the order. Stop the siege, and after the [-] troops are left behind, the rest of the ministries will retreat to Hanzhong one after another." After saying this, Cao Cao seemed to have aged ten years.

He has always dreamed of returning to the Central Plains and capturing Guanzhong.

I thought my strength was about the same as Xu Ding's, but now it seems that the difference is too far.The tens of thousands of troops were still unable to defeat the thousands of enemies, and they were defeated in just a quarter of an hour.

This withdrawal may mean that it will be difficult for him to come back in the future.

The Central Plains and Guanzhong will also become Xu Ding's inherent territories.

"Yes."

Sima Yi was very excited.

Cao Cao finally accepted his suggestion.

Cao Jun can keep it.

That night, Lu Xun's army swept everything within fifteen miles around Chang'an.

All Cao Jun who were caught up were immediately controlled.

Because Lu Xun's troops are too strong, they have already psychologically destroyed Cao Jun.After being captured, they all chose to surrender.

all the way west.
In less than two hours, Lu Xun captured more than 2 Cao troops.

At this time, a soldier came to report: "General, Cao's army has stopped attacking the city."

"When did this happen?"

"just now."

Lu Xun took out the map, glanced at it, and said with a light smile, "Cao Cao wanted to run away. It's a pity. As early as two days ago, I sent troops to Sanguan, Chencang, and Wuzhangyuan. I'll see how he returns to Hanzhong."

The three places mentioned by Lu Xun are the only way to enter Hanzhong.

Even going to Xiliang, you have to go through Chencang.

Of course, Cao Cao could choose to cross the Weihe River, take a detour from Weibei to Longxi, and then go to Xiliang, but if that happens, it will be delayed for a long time.And crossing the river is risky.

Lu Xun predicted that Cao Cao would not go to Weihe.

As long as he blocks those three places, he can steadily eat Cao Cao and all the troops.

Lu Xun issued an order: "Pass my order, each battalion should not be greedy for gains, but use the momentum of the top of Mount Tai to plunge deep into the enemy. We must catch up with the enemy as soon as possible and capture the enemy's troops as much as possible."

"promise."

Of the three brigades under Lu Xun's command, two brigades were tasked with chasing down the enemy.

Dash and strike westward.

Cao Cao fled early and was not caught up, but Xiahou Dun was in charge of the rear, and it was miserable.He hadn't run far when he was caught up by one of Lu Xun's vanguards, and a fierce battle broke out in the wild.

This battle was the most difficult one Xiahoudun had fought since he became a general.

He led an army of more than 1 people to exchange fire with Lu Xun's vanguard group.From the very beginning, they were suppressed and beaten, and then the army was on the verge of being defeated, and it was out of control.

Xiahou Dun wanted to go all out, but when he saw his soldiers, they all ran away or surrendered.He also had no intention of fighting, and led his troops to break through.

Lu Xun rushed to the battlefield, glanced through the binoculars, and asked in surprise, "That one-eyed general in the distance is Xiahou Dun, right?"

"Yes."

"He is Cao Cao's general, he must be captured!" Lu Xun said to the messenger: "Tell the troops in front to stabilize the battlefield first, and then shrink the defense. Be sure to capture Xiahou Dun."
