Shuhan

On the high platform, Zhang Fei immediately gave the order.

The flag in the flag bearer's hand flew.

Only the sound of landslides and ground cracking was heard. Behind the Han army's formation, a cavalry army stood out. The leader was Changshan Zhao Zilong in white robes and armor!

The sound of landslides and ground cracks shocked even Xia Houmao who entered the city.

Xia Houshang's brows instantly frowned.

The Han army has an ambush!
It seems that what General Zuo said is true.

The gates of Chang'an City were opened. It would take some time for thousands of cavalry to enter such a small gate, but the Han army's cavalry had already charged.

I'm afraid that before the cavalry can enter the city, the Wei cavalry behind them will be scattered by the Han army's fine cavalry.

Xiahou Shang's thinking lasted only a moment. In this flash of lightning, Xiahou Shang shouted to the left and right: "The rear army will break out with me, and the front army will enter the city!"

With that said, he led more than a thousand riders and broke out towards the distance.

After Xiahou Mao entered the city, he immediately shouted: "Close the city gate!"

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

The cavalry that did not come in from behind would just find their own way out.

However, earth and rocks have already blocked the city gate.

Even if the soldiers in Chang'an City used all their strength, they couldn't lock him up.

Zhang He walked down the city wall with a stern look on his face. He looked at Xia Houmao, holding back the disgust in his heart, and bowed to him.

"Guard the leading cavalry and retreat."

As he said that, he immediately asked his soldiers to shovel the soil, and he led hundreds of heavily armored infantry in front of the Chang'an city gate, acting as a human shield.

Seeing this, Xia Houmao immediately said: "General, we must guard Chang'an!"

After gathering the cavalry, Xiahou Mao did not retreat, but was ready to attack at any time.

In other words, be ready to run away at any time.

If Chang'an City is destroyed, then he cannot die in Chang'an City.

At this moment, outside Chang'an City.

The infantry led by Wei Yan directly released a portion of the Wei cavalry led by Xia Houshang.

The heavily armored infantry stepped forward and were already approaching the gate of Chang'an City.

Zhao Yun's cavalry was divided into two parts. One went to intercept the Wei cavalry of Xiahou Shang's tribe, and the other heavily armored Han cavalry used the momentum to attack the troops who had just left the city. The Wei army's heavily armored infantry formation was cut away.

The Wei army's military formation has not yet been deployed, so it is naturally difficult to resist the momentum of the heavy armored cavalry.

Moreover, even if his formation is deployed, it may not be able to withstand the momentum of the heavy armored cavalry.

I saw cavalry like arrows rushing into the Wei army's infantry formation. In an instant, people fell on their backs and their blood exploded.

In front of the gate of Chang'an City, Wei Jun could only be described as throwing away his helmet and taking off his armor.

"Hold! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

In this case, Zhang He went against the trend.

He held a long knife and rushed forward as fast as lightning. He first chopped off the enemy's horse's legs, forcing the cavalry to dismount.

Then, he turned around and cut off the spear in the hand of another cavalryman with a sword, and then cut off his throat with a flash of sword light.

Zhang He gave up his strength again and again, causing death again and again.

The battlefield is full of blood and flesh, Zhang He has a strong posture and points his sword at the enemy.

The ferocity of his sword, combined with his flexibility, made him look like a cicada in the wind.

His long knife danced in his relaxed palm, reflecting a disturbing light in the sun.

Blood splattered on his face, but his eyes remained determined.

When one of the enemy cavalry tried to escape, he pursued him without hesitation, cut off his back, and watched coldly as the corpse fell to the ground.

"General Zhang, there are Han troops ahead." A soldier beside him reminded him.

After hearing this, he raised his head and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Our mission is to hold them back and close the city gate. Everyone obeys the order and continues to fight!"

Zhang He brandished his long sword and gradually penetrated deeper into the enemy's formation.

In other words, some of the Han cavalry had already rushed into the city.

The general with white horse, white armor and white robe did not even look at Zhang He.

Zhang He knew in his heart that he wanted to defend Chang'an City and keep the gates of Chang'an City closed.

Zhao Yun knew even more clearly in his heart that if he wanted to capture Chang'an, he had to make sure that the city of Chang'an could not be closed.

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

Even though he was surrounded by heavy siege, Zhang He still persisted in fighting regardless of difficulties.

As time passed, more and more enemy troops were surrounding him, but the pressure only made him become more violent and murderous.

His figure was like a ghost, walking in front of the formation, and every chop was made with outrageous accuracy.

"The Han infantry has arrived!"

After the cavalry lost its momentum, its damage was greatly reduced.

But the armored shields of the Han infantry could not be cut with the long swords in their hands.

"Defend the city! Circle formation!"

Regardless of how many cavalry troops rush in, the city gate must be guarded now!

The hundreds of people who left the city were all Zhang He's personal soldiers, and they could be said to be the best among the best.

Otherwise, Zhao Yun's cavalry charge just now would have been broken up by soldiers from other states and counties, and how could they be gathered together?
The circular formation had just been set up, but the spear formation of the Han army's infantry had already arrived.

When Yafeng entered the circular formation, the two parties that came into contact first blended together instantly.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Both sides were tearing their necks and roaring, the veins on their necks were swollen, the blood was mixed with the broken limbs, and the swords, spears, and halberds were piercing the flesh. The scene that had just existed in hell appeared between heaven and earth.

And in the city.

Hundreds of Han cavalry rushed into Chang'an City and launched a boundless killing spree!
On the dusty battlefield, Zhao Yun looked majestic like a white god of war.

Wearing white armor and fluttering white robes, he rode a snow-white horse and held a spear in his hand. He galloped in from the city gate like a bolt of lightning across the sky.

His movements were quick and sharp, and every swing of his gun carried the force of thunder.

The soldiers of the Wei army stepped forward to stop him, but they were as vulnerable as fragile straw in front of Zhao Yun's spear.

The tip of the spear flashed with cold light, and every time it was thrust out, blood flowers bloomed.

Zhao Yun's figure is strong and vigorous, like a swimming dragon shuttling on the battlefield. His spear danced so tightly that it was dazzling. Every charge was like a violent storm, catching the Wei soldiers by surprise.

"Heavenly soldiers enter the city, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

Before entering the city, he was wearing white robes and white armor, riding a white horse, but after leaving the corridor of Chang'an City, he was wearing blood armor and blood robes, riding a flaming war horse.

When the Wei troops in the city saw this, they were all frightened!
"Thieves will never be so rampant!"

Originally, Xia Houmao was already preparing to run away.

But seeing that the number of Han troops entering the city was not large, they became bolder.

"Die to me!"

Xia Houmao was wearing heavy armor, and his face was full of determination and fierceness. The war horse he rode was majestic and powerful, and its iron hoofs struck the ground, making a dull and powerful echo. The spear held tightly in his hand shone coldly in the sun, like a poisonous snake about to emerge from its sheath.

He rushed towards Zhao Yun, his eyes filled with the flames of anger and revenge.

His spear carried the power of wind and thunder, and seemed to pierce through Zhao Yun in one fell swoop. However, Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood and stains, seemed not to care. His eyes were firm and cold, as if he had seen through life and death.

Just when the spear was about to hit Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun suddenly moved. His movements were quick and precise, and he shot Xia Houmao's horse with one shot.

"Aah~"

Just hearing a scream, the war horse was sent flying, and Xia Houmao was thrown into the air. The spear in his hand also flew out and was inserted into the soil.

Xia Houmao fell heavily to the ground, dust flying.

Is this a human being?
This was Xia Houmao's thought before he landed.

After he landed, he couldn't think of anything else.

Because the war horse that was sent flying, coupled with the biting silver gun, arrived immediately.

puff~
There was a hole in his heart, and the silver spear penetrated into his body.

Xia Houmao watched as he grabbed the silver gun with all his strength, but he couldn't stop the flow of life force, and the luster in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"When the Han army enters the city, those who surrender will not be killed!"

Zhao Yun roared again, and the enemy army was already in chaos.

Zhang He, the original backbone of Chang'an, is now fighting to the death outside Chang'an City.

But now Chang'an's new backbone, Chang'an guard Xiahou Mao, was shot to death by a Han general who rushed in.

The city is broken.

Chang'an City is broken!
Someone in the city yelled:
"Chang'an City is broken!"

Then, the Wei army in the city, which was still trying its best to defend the city, suddenly became confused.

The ones who reacted faster than these Han Wei troops were those Hu soldiers.

Under the command of their leader, they immediately opened other city gates and fled towards the outside of the city.

The chaos in Chang'an City was seen in the eyes of Zhang Fei and others on the high platform.

"Yide, you can cover up the troops and kill them. The city of Chang'an will be destroyed right before your eyes." Sun Qian's eyes were already brightening.

Even in these eyes that were no longer clear, tears of excitement gradually accumulated.

Restore the Han Dynasty and return the old capital!
How many times have you read these eight words?
But now, the eight words "restoring the Han Dynasty and returning it to the old capital" have changed from the original saying to the current doing.

Restore the Han Dynasty and return the old capital!
Sanxing big man!

It’s not just talk, but I, Yanhan, can really do it!

"It's definitely time!" Zhang Fei, whose beard and hair had turned white, had eyes as bright as fire.

Fires broke out all over Chang'an City, including Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate, Bacheng Gate, Fu'anmen, Anmen, Xi'an Gate, Hengmen, Chucheng Gate, Luocheng Gate, Yongmen, Zhicheng Gate, Zhangcheng Gate, etc. At each city gate, panicked Wei troops opened the gates and fled.

There is a pile of dirt outside Chang'an City. Once these city gates are opened, they cannot be closed in a short time.

The deal is settled!

"Take my Zhangba snake spear, I'm going to charge into the city!"

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Outside Chang'an City, the sound of war drums filled the sky.

Han troops poured toward Chang'an City from all directions. As they walked, they shouted loudly: "If you surrender, you will not be killed. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

The Wei troops who fled from the city felt as if they were mourning for their heirs when they saw such a scene. Except for a few timid ones, they basically surrendered.

And those who were brave also paid the price and were basically crushed into pulp by the rushing Han army formation!
The trend is over!

Zhang He, who was still fighting to the death in the city, finally understood the meaning of these four words.

"Father, surrender!"

Zhang Xiong, covered in blood, was standing in front of Zhang He, but his tone was already trembling.

"Jiang, can you survive?"

The things he did in Chang'an, even when he sacrificed the city and surrendered, there was no guarantee that he could survive, let alone surrendering after defeat.
Zhang Xiong spat and said: "If you don't surrender, you will die. My father has been in Guanzhong for several years. If the Han Dynasty wants to quickly regain Guanzhong, it will definitely need the help of a general."

Isn't Xia Houmao in the city a better candidate?
but.
With Xia Houmao's temperament, he might have run away now?
"It was your father who harmed you."

For the sake of his ridiculous loyalty, he put his wealth and life in such a situation.

Wan Huhou is already a luxury.

Now I can't even save my life.

"Why did my father say this? Why do we talk about these things between you and me, father and son?"

Zhang Xiong also knew who gave him this wealth.

Without this father, he would not know where to eat dirt!
All wealth and honor are tied to Zhang He, but his decision is wrong. How can he still have resentment in his heart?

"That's all."

Although the son is incompetent, he can still be trusted after all.

"Just surrender!"

Now besides this choice, is there any other way he can take?
As for martyrdom for the country
It is indeed possible to save the family members in Luoyang, but if the family members in Luoyang are saved, what is the use?
His most outstanding son is already with him.

clang~
clang~
Throwing down the long knife in his hand, the elite guards beside him saw it, hesitated for a moment, and then threw down the various weapons in their hands.

The generals have surrendered, why are they stubbornly resisting?
Moreover, stubborn resistance now leads to death, but surrender can still bring a chance of survival.

The Han soldiers stepped forward and tied up the hands and feet of the disarmed Wei soldiers one by one. The leader, Zhang He, was even more angry and tied up.

There is no way, this person was too fierce when fighting just now.

This can be seen from the thickness of the body under his feet.

He may have killed dozens of people alone.

The army all respects the strong, like Zhang He. Although the Han army hates him, they will give him enough respect.

"Come on!"

Han troops swarmed into various gates in Chang'an.

More and more Han troops rushed into Chang'an and soon occupied all important places in the city.

"Is this Chang'an?"

After passing the long and narrow corridor of Chang'an, you can see the inner wall of the city, but Zhang Fei had a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Sun Qian said on the side: "Since the Chimei Rebellion, Chang'an has been lonely. Later, the Xiliang army invaded Chang'an and burned the palace to the ground. To be able to restore it to this state now, I think the Wei Kingdom also spent a lot of manpower and material resources. of."

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chang'an was destroyed twice.

First, when the New Dynasty collapsed, the Red Eyebrow Army occupied Chang'an. They not only robbed the people but also robbed the government. They committed all kinds of evil and turned the entire city into ruins.

The second time was after Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, they gave Dong Zhuo's old troops Guo Si and Li Jue the opportunity to attack Chang'an and let the soldiers burn, kill and loot.

Originally, there were more than 100,000 households in the area around Chang'an. However, due to the disasters caused by Guo Si and Li Jue, coupled with the famine, even wild vegetables could not be eaten, and there was a tragic phenomenon of cannibalism. Almost 100,000 households were wiped out.

In the end, the palace was burned down, along with all the government offices and people's houses in Chang'an.

In the next two or three years, the entire Guanzhong was deserted.

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" said: "The strong scattered and the weak ate each other. The city of Chang'an was empty for more than forty days. For two or three years, there was no trace of human beings in Guanzhong."

A few words describe the tragic situation and the hardship of life at that time. It is also the same reason that I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.

After several catastrophes, the palace city of Chang'an has never recovered.

but.
No matter how desolate Chang'an is, it is still Xijing of the Han Dynasty!

Looking at the rows of kneeling Wei soldiers and the Han soldiers holding their heads high and chest high, Zhang Fei could not suppress the smile on his face.

If Chang'an is captured, how can the various places in Guanzhong dare to defend it?
After conquering Chang'an and regaining Xijing, can the nobles and common people in the world still not see the general trend clearly?
Sanxing big man!

Right in front of you!

Sun Qian's face was also excited. He held the short beard under his chin with his hand, and even removed a few white beards from the short beard without realizing it.

"Wonderful, wonderful, Xijing has returned to the Han Dynasty. God bless me, the Han Dynasty, and God bless my Han family!" (End of this chapter)
