Great Han Empire

Chapter 652
Five hundred cavalry rushed into the gate.

Under the command of Shangguan, the patrolling soldiers of the Northern Army launched a tenacious counterattack against the iron cavalry.

In the barracks, the system of consecutive sittings is implemented. If one person breaks the law, many people will be punished.The Northern Army soldiers on duty today failed to detect the enemy's attack in time, and failed to hold the gate to allow the enemy to rush into the camp. The consequences can be imagined. , Down to ordinary soldiers, they no longer cherish their lives, and everyone fights to the death.Even if the five hundred iron cavalry cannot be killed or driven out, they must block the enemy's rush with their flesh and blood.

Zhang Liao saw that the attack was blocked, there were more and more enemies in front of him, and the long arrows were getting more and more dense, so he decisively ordered the cavalry to turn around and attack horizontally.

"Speed ​​up... speed up... don't stop, don't stop..."

Zhang Liao swung his long halberd, picked and killed two people one after another, and rode his horse into the air.The Iron Knights followed closely behind, ramming and trampling wantonly in the former battalion of the Northern Army.

Dong Yue remained calm and unafraid in the face of danger, sitting firmly on the horse and commanding calmly.

The sound of war drums fluctuated, sometimes densely and sometimes sparsely, and sometimes it was deafening like a nine-day thunderstorm, and sometimes it was like a violent storm, covering the sky and covering the earth.Dozens of messengers were like a long arrow that was off the string, rampaging in the crowded camp.The colorful battle flags fluttered in the wind, guiding the northern army to reach the combat position as quickly as possible.

The defensive formation of the Northern Army is centered on the large banner of the Chinese Army, with two wings lined up and geese flying.

Nearly a thousand strong archers lined up in front of the army, pouring out their anger and panic to the front.

Arrows rained like rain.

Dong Hui Zhuma stood behind Dong Yue, very nervous, looking around without making any claims.Under the command of Dong Yue, his three thousand soldiers and horses have already lined up on the right wing of the army.

"Brother, why haven't you seen Lu Bu yet? Where is Lu Bu's army?"

"First, pay attention to how I set up the formation and command the army to fight." Dong Yue scolded dissatisfiedly, "No matter which army comes, this battle will be fought. If Li Hong is in front, are you going to run away? slip?"

Dong Hui nodded involuntarily, then realized that he had made a mistake, and shook his head again and again.Dong Yue raised his hand and whipped him, "Sit up straight for me, don't be ashamed. It's a joke that someone like you can be a captain."

"Lv Bu's army rushed for more than 500 miles all the way, and the soldiers were exhausted. He had already lost this battle before it was fought." Then he turned back and pointed in the direction of Chang'an, "I have sent someone to report to Master Taishi urgently. The reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as we surround Lu Bu's army, he will die. The end of betraying the Grand Master is death."

When Dong Hui heard that there were reinforcements, he became more courageous, and immediately relaxed a lot, "Brother, is Lu Bu crazy? Since it is a dead end for him to fight alone in Chang'an, why does he still do this?"

Dong Yue was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Chang'an.Will there be rebellion in Chang'an City?

Lu Bu rode his horse and rushed up the hillside, facing the golden sun and looking towards the Northern Army camp in the distance.

In front of the Northern Army's camp, Zhang Liao and his cavalry were fighting bloody battles with the enemy, and the sound of killing on the battlefield was loud.Behind the Northern Army's camp, the enemy's formation had already been laid out, densely packed one after another, with cloud-like battle flags covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of rumbling war drums soaring into the sky.

The three thousand tigers who escorted Dong Zhuo to Beijing really arrived at the Northern Army camp.Lu Bu gritted his teeth, and gently patted the horse's head with the whip in his hand.Dong Yue has 8000 people, and his strength is too strong. In today's battle, there is really no return.

At this moment, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Li Feng and other generals led their own parts and marched hand in hand. The forward soldiers were moving away the defensive equipment such as Juma and Luzhai in front of the Northern Army camp, and rushed towards the Northern Army camp. kill.

"Order all the ministries to close up and kill the Chinese army." Lu Bu shouted loudly to the messenger, "Tell Master Zhang Liao to retreat immediately."

"Let's go, let's go in too." Furious, Lu Bu rushed away with his bodyguard cavalry.

Chang'an, Yongmen in Xicheng.

The original Yongmen Gate, Zhicheng Gate and Zhangcheng Gate in the west city of Chang'an were destroyed in Wang Mang's period. Although they were restored later, they are no longer as grand as they used to be.

Wang Xin, the school captain of the city gate, came to Yongmen very early with five hundred soldiers patrolling the city.Sima, the city gate stationed at Yongmen, saw Shangguan coming, and hurriedly invited him to the tower, but Wang Xin refused with a smile.Wang Xin is more than 40 years old, with a white face and long beard, broad forehead, soft-spoken, always smiling eyes, making people feel very friendly.He is a famous scholar in Guanzhong, he treats people kindly, is sincere, and considerate to his subordinates. He has a very good reputation in Beijing and China.

Wang Xin and several subordinates stood at the foot of the city talking and laughing, chatting casually.At this time, the faint sound of war drums came from the direction of the Northern Army camp.Today is different from usual, the war drums are endless after they are played, and they also have a strong killing spirit.Several of Wang Xin's subordinates and Sima of the city gate were puzzled and guessed at each other.Has something happened to the Northern Army camp?
After a period of time, the sound of the drums suddenly became violent, bursts, like spring thunder passing across the sky, shaking the mountains and fields.

"My lord, there is something unusual in the Northern Army's camp, should we send someone to look at it?" asked a military commander.

"We don't care about the military affairs, and we can't care about them." Wang Xin shook his hand, disagreeing.

The sound of hoofbeats was sudden, and several fast horses came flying, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, we are going to the Grand Master's Mansion, get out of the way immediately..."

Something happened to the Northern Army.The hearts of the adults standing under the city gate tightened, and their expressions suddenly became serious.

A gleam of joy suddenly appeared in Wang Xin's eyes, and he raised his hand without hesitation and shouted: "Come on, stop me."

Everyone looked at him in amazement.stop?This is an urgent military situation sent to Grand Master Dong Zhuo, can this be stopped?

Quickly rush up the pontoon bridge, and it will be there in a flash.

"Stop..." Wang Xin raised his hand and shouted.

The soldiers on patrol shouted loudly, and raised their bows, arrows and spears at the same time.The war horse neighed and roared continuously, and the galloping figure repeatedly slammed horizontally, barely stopping under the city gate.

The four soldiers who reported the letter were angry and anxious, and cursed, "Do you want to die? The military situation is extremely urgent, and there is no delay. Get out of the way..."

Standing behind, Wang Xin gently stroked his long beard and said coldly, "Catch me."

Several of Wang Xin's subordinates and the city gate Sima thought they had heard it wrong, and all turned their heads to look at Wang Xin.Wang Xin frowned, and asked unhappily, "What? You don't understand what I'm saying?"

"My lord, this... this is an urgent military situation..."

"At the foot of the Son of Heaven, on the edge of Chang'an City, what urgent military situation will there be? Could it be that the Northern Army has reached Chang'an?" Wang Xin pointed to the four Northern Army messengers who were shoving and shoving with the guards in the distance. "There must be something here." Question, grab it for me, and I will take it back for trial."

Everyone was dumbfounded.What's the matter today, my lord?Looking for trouble for nothing, want to confront Master Grand Master?This is not asking for trouble.

The four messengers of the Northern Army were in a hurry, and one of them drew his saber sharply and shouted loudly: "Master Lu Bu is rebellious, and he is leading the army to attack the camp of the Northern Army. If you don't give way and delay the important event, your heads will be gone." .Get out of the way..."

Lu Bu reversed?This news is very fresh, everyone looks at each other, half-believing.Lu Bu rebelled, and then led the army to attack the Northern Army camp?Attack Chang'an?He doesn't need to be so anxious if he wants to die, right?Lu Bu is definitely not a lunatic, the four people in front of him are lunatics, they are simply talking nonsense.

Wang Xin laughed out loud, and the people around him became more and more amusing as they thought about it.

"Catch me." Wang Xin smiled, "Stop their mouths. There must be something wrong with these four people. I'll go back and interrogate them."

Situ House.

Situ Mansion is very lively today, with heavy traffic and people coming and going, but what contrasts greatly with this lively atmosphere are the heavily armed guards inside and outside the mansion.

Wang Xin's personal guards were stopped outside the gate of the mansion.Accompanied by the head of Situ's residence, Shi, Wang Xin walked through several courtyards and came to the study.

Wang Yun asked anxiously: "Is there something wrong with the Northern Army camp?"

"Lord Lu is very punctual, and has already launched an attack." Wang Xin said excitedly, "I have detained the messenger who came to the city to report."

"Okay, okay, okay..." Wang Yun turned around and took out an imperial decree from the table, "Immediately block the twelve city gates of Chang'an. Without the imperial decree, no one is allowed to leave the city."

Wang Xin knelt down to accept the imperial edict and hurried away.

Sili Captain Huang Wan hurried into the study.

"Master, do you have any news from Mr. Wang?"

"Lu Bu has already reached the Northern Army camp." Wang Yun said happily, "The city gate is about to be sealed off, it's up to you now. Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready." Huang Wan said resolutely, "Even if all the people are wiped out, I will wait until the army enters the city."

"We can't fight it all out. We must resolutely block the rebel support." Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "Whether Lu Bu can solve Dong Yue and Dong Hui, our soldiers don't know. Now there are [-] troops in the Northern Army camp. This battle is very difficult." Hard to beat."

"With Mr. Huangfu planning the strategy, what's so difficult about this battle?" Huang Wan smiled confidently, "I'm leaving. If I die, remember to send my family back to my hometown."

Wang Yun patted Huang Wan's shoulder, "Take care."

Weiyang Palace.

Dong Zhuo's car slowly entered the palace gate.

Scholars Sun Rui, Yang Zan, and Li Su went up to meet Dong Zhuo together.

Now there are no eunuchs in the palace, and the official positions that were originally held by eunuchs in the past are all taken up by officials from the third department. Therefore, the affairs in charge of Shangshutai have greatly increased.Shangshu Lingshi Sun Rui is in charge of the Shangshutai, and he handles all the affairs of the inner court. Of course, he is the one who represents the emperor to welcome the Grand Master Dong Zhuo.

The scholar Sun Rui had a very high reputation in Guanzhong, even Dong Zhuo did not dare to be too negligent.After Dong Zhuo exchanged pleasantries with him, he invited him to get in the car and go with him.Shi Sun Rui politely declined, and he and Yang Zan accompanied the carriage, appearing very respectful.

The thousand cavalry who protected Dong Zhuo to the palace stayed outside the Weiyang Palace, and the military commander Chen Shu brought Dong Zhuo into the palace with [-] elite tigers.

Tian Yi saw Shi Sun Rui following him on foot, so she didn't dare to stay in the car, so she got out of the car and walked with Li Su.Tian Yi chatted with Li Su for a few words, and occasionally turned around to see a familiar face.It was a nine-foot-tall man with a vigorous figure, a tiger's back and a monkey's waist. He had a dignified appearance, a bearded face, and an awe-inspiring righteousness between his brows.Tian Yi felt that she had seen it there, but couldn't remember it.He looked back and looked carefully.

Li Su's face changed slightly, and he asked softly, "Brother Shuping, what are you looking at?"

Tian Yi didn't speak, her brows were slightly wrinkled, her beard was in deep thought.

"Shu Ping, what did you see?" Li Su asked again, his tone was slightly nervous at this time, and his right hand involuntarily reached the handle of the knife at his waist.

Tian Yi just lowered his head, and he saw all Li Su's subconscious movements in his eyes.He noticed that Li Su's hands were shaking slightly.

Tian Yi suddenly remembered who that big man was, and felt suffocated for a moment. She couldn't help but look at Li Su with a look of horror.

Qin Yi, he is Qin Yi, a disciple of Chuck, a Xiliang hermit, and the master of martial arts known as the number one in Xijiang.

Fourteen years ago (AD 14), Taiwei Duan Jiong (jiong) was framed and imprisoned by Zhongchang servant Cheng Huang and his son-in-law Sili Xiaowei Yangqiu. Tian Yi, who was Duan Jiong's subordinate at that time, traveled all the way back to western Xinjiang for help.Zhang Ce and Fan Zhi, the Xiliang hermits who fought shoulder to shoulder with Duan Jiong back then, each brought ten disciples to Beijing to rescue them.When they arrived in the capital, Duan Jiong had already committed suicide by drinking poison in prison.Tian Yi clearly remembered that Qin Yi, who had no beard on his face at the time, was one of the masters who came to Beijing to rescue Duan Jiong.This person led five people to Beisi Prison, and after finding out that Duan Jiong committed suicide, he took the remaining one person to the residence of Cheng Huang, the regular servant of the Central Committee, and killed 179 people in one night, without any injuries.

How did Qin Yi become Li Su's personal guard?With Li Su's status, it is impossible to invite such peerless masters.In today's world, apart from Han Sui, there are only a few ministers from western Xinjiang who can invite Qin Yi to come out of the mountain, and among these ministers, Huangfusong is the most prestigious.

Anding County is in a hurry.Huangfuhong sent troops to Anding County.Qin Yi appeared in Weiyang Palace.Li Su's trembling hands.Tian Yi suddenly understood that Chang'an City was in rebellion, and the ministers wanted to kill Dong Zhuo.

Tian Yi's vest felt cold, and cold sweat instantly soaked his whole body.

"Brother Shuping..." Li Su's voice was trembling.

Tian Yi suddenly smiled, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I thought your personal guard was an old friend of mine." After speaking, he patted Li Su on the shoulder and walked forward quickly.

Li Su frowned, staring at Tian Yi's back, his right hand holding the knife suddenly grasped the handle.

Chen Shu noticed Tian Yi's frightened face, and raised his fingers shaking rapidly in front of his chest. After he saw Tian Yi's gesture, his complexion suddenly changed, and his burly body soared into the air at an unimaginable speed, flying towards Dong Zhuo, " Go, go, leave the palace..."

When Li Su saw Chen Shu soaring into the sky, his saber roared out immediately, "Close the palace gate...kill Dong Zhuo..."

=

The drums of war were beating loudly.

The bullhorn blew mournfully.

=

The guards of the southern army dragged and dragged, and the guards Sun Rui and Yang Zan withdrew quickly.

While protecting the carriage, Dong Zhuo's three hundred tigers rushed towards the palace gate a hundred paces away.

Li Su shouted hoarsely, commanding the guards to fight to the death.

Tian Yi saw a terrifying scene. The tall and tall Qin Yi and a thin man led ten masters roaring towards them.

The palace gate slammed shut the moment the Xiliang iron cavalry approached rapidly.
