The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chencang, it’s still cold and windy today.

The only way for the Xiliang army to escape from Sanfu.

Fan Chou led [-] people to guard here.

News also came from Chang'an that the King of Hejian had surrounded the city of Chang'an in an iron barrel, and it seemed that he was going to fight a war of attrition.

"Is there General Fan Choufan in the city?!"

Fan Chong stood at the top of the city, looking at the miserable appearance of the people below. He didn't recognize him for a while: "I am Fan Cong, who is under the city?"

"General, this is Zhang Xiu, the nephew of General Zhang Ji. Gaoling City was destroyed by Liu Han's trick, Chang'an was besieged, and my uncle and I fled all the way here."

Fan Chou looked at the figure under the city and compared it with Zhang Xiu in his mind. Then he confirmed it and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you see Zhang Ji?"

Zhang Xiu said anxiously: "General! Huang Zhong has a lot of cavalry. They are chasing us from Gaoling to here. My uncle is surrounded thirty miles outside the city. I fight my way out to ask for help. I hope the general will lead his troops out of the city to relieve the siege!" "

Fan Chou looked at Zhang Xiu covered in blood and scars, and did not doubt that he was there. "Wait a moment, I will order troops to rescue Zhang Ji right now!"

With that said, he went down to the top of the city and took half of the people out of the city, "Take me quickly to save people!"

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Group is also divided into several small hills, such as Li Jue and Guo Si. They are relatively strong and group together, especially Li Jue. During Dong Zhuo's lifetime, he was the commander of the Flying Bear Army.

There were a few weak ones left, such as Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. Although they lacked ability, they were more obedient. When Li Jue and Guo Si entered Chang'an to enclose their own people, they squeezed Fan Chou and Zhang Ji out of Chang'an. Let them rob Chang'an's treasure.

However, what Li Jue said made sense. If he wanted to stand firm, a capital sign was not enough. He also had to get the third assistant, so Zhang Ji went to Zuo Fengyi and Fan Chou went to You Fufeng.

Now that Zhang Ji was in trouble, Fan Chou naturally went to rescue him.

However, as Fan Chou followed Zhang Xiu to the battlefield he pointed to, although there were traces of marching, there were no traces of fighting.

Fan Chou looked at Zhang Xiu doubtfully and had a bad feeling in his heart: "Zhang Xiu, where is your uncle? Are you taking the wrong route?!"

Zhang Xiu didn't say a word, but suddenly rose up and stabbed Fan Chou under his horse with a spear. Afterwards, Fan Chou's ten thousand men were attacked by troops from all directions.

The general was seriously injured, he was surrounded again, and all ten thousand people panicked.

"Don't mess up! I am Zhang Ji, and I have surrendered to the King of Hejian. Li Jue and Guo Si have committed riots in the imperial court. Their crimes cannot be punished. The King of Hejian only kills the first culprits. If you are willing to surrender at this moment, put down your weapons and come here!"

Forced by Huang Zhong's intimidation and Zhang Ji's persuasion, the ten thousand people lost their backbone and laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Huang Zhong and asked: "General, what's next?"

Huang Zhong: "Well done, you carried Fan Chou down for treatment. How to deal with him is not mine, but your lord's."

Zhang Ji said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes."

Huang Zhong: "Let's proceed as planned. Let's try our best to capture Chen Cang at the minimum cost."

Zhang Ji (Zhang Xiu): "Here."

  In the evening, the setting sun is like blood, Chencang.

The guard on the tower had been tensing his nerves, not daring to slack off at all, "Why hasn't the general come back yet?"

There are only [-] people left to guard Chencang. If the enemy forces attack, the place cannot be defended for long.

Suddenly, dust was flying in the distance.

Soon, a dense mass of darkness surged toward Chencang, and the guard on the city suddenly became nervous: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

"Don't shoot the arrow! Don't shoot the arrow! This is Zhang Ji! Open the city gate quickly! Let us in!"

"General Zhang? Where is General Fan?"

Zhang Ji: "General Fan Chou was seriously injured by Huang Zhong to save me, and he is behind me!"

As he said that, the guard on the city saw a seriously injured and unconscious man in the vague light. His clothes and body shape were very similar to Fan Chou, and he no longer doubted that Zhang Ji was real after all.

"Open the city gates!"

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu looked at each other and immediately clapped their horses forward. After the suspension bridge was lowered, Zhang Xiu led a thousand people, one horse at a time, to seize the city gate and said, "Kill!" The city guard came down to greet Zhang Ji with a smile on his face. , but before he could react, Zhang Xiu pierced his throat with a spear. He was shocked, confused and puzzled: "Why...why?"

As the light in his eyes dissipated, he fell to the ground.

Zhang Xiu gave an order, and the soldiers who entered the city followed suit and killed the Xiliang army at the city gate. Zhang Ji even more quickly followed Zhang Xiu to seize the city head.

Chencang suddenly fell into chaos. Both sides were wearing the same clothes. It was evening again, and the defenders couldn't tell who the enemy was for a while. In addition, the general was dead, so they ran around blindly.

Zhang Ji led his troops to occupy the city wall: "Quick! Send a signal flare!"

"Yes!"

"Whoosh!"

As a green ball of light rose, Huang Zhong led his cavalry five miles outside Chencang City, "Big man!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Big guy!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"rush!"

In just half a quarter of an hour, Huang Zhong's cavalry rushed in, and the situation on the battlefield was suddenly reversed.

"The descendants do not kill!"

"The descendants do not kill!"

"..."

Night was about to fall. In order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, Huang Zhong ordered the army to shout that those who surrendered would not be killed.

The Xiliang troops who heard this put down their weapons and knelt on the ground with their hands raised.

Half an hour later, the battle was over. Except for about [-] people who ran away, [-] Xiliang troops were killed and [-] were captured.

Zhang Ji (Zhang Xiu) came to reply: "General."

Huang Zhong: "Chencang has been occupied. Your Highness ordered Le Jin to lead the army to take over. The army is resting here and waiting for new instructions from His Highness."

Zhang Ji (Zhang Xiu): "Here."

Huang Zhong looked at Zhang Xiu and praised: "You are worthy of being a disciple of the Gunslinger. You are quite capable. No wonder the Lord will praise you as the 'Northern Gunslinger'."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed. He was recognized by the King of Hejian. "Young general don't dare!"

Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Go down and rest."

"Here."

  Night, outside Chang'an City.

The army had been operating outside Chang'an City for five days. Liu Han received Huang Zhong's battle report: "Wen He and Feng Xiao, Chen Cang was captured by Huang Zhong."

"Oh?"

The two put down the documents in their hands and couldn't help but rejoice: "Hahaha..."

Guo Jia: "My Lord, Gaoling and Chencang have been captured, which means that Zuo Fengyi and Right Fufeng have also been captured, leaving only Chang'an."

Jia Xu: "Today's siege tactics don't require so many people. A hundred thousand troops are too expensive. Ju Shou and Tian Feng have complained many times in the battle report."

Liu Han nodded, the war was more about logistics. When the two armies faced each other, they were not fighting every day, but more often they were confrontations, and confrontations consumed a lot of money, food and cloth. All the former Sili's income was used for reconstruction. Only The plan was to capture Jizhou in one month, but something unexpected happened. Although Jizhou was captured in half a month, the third auxiliary fought for another month, which put great logistical pressure.

"With the new acquisition in Jizhou, there is no income in a short time. Now that Chencang has been captured, the war should come to a halt and rest for a while." (End of this chapter)
