After Zhang Liao left Tongguan, he led his army to Chang'an.

In this expedition, Zhang Liao mainly used infantry.

A total of 1,000 soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty were commanded, 2,000 from the Dare to Death Battalion, 3,000 from the Panshi Battalion, 5,000 from the Yongrui Battalion, 5,000 from the Shenji Battalion, 10,000 from the Huya Battalion, and 15,000 from the Death Battle Battalion.

The cavalry consists of 5,000 in the Sharp Shooting Camp and 3,000 in the Huben Camp.

In Chang'an City, Huangfu Li had already led his army to withdraw to Chang'an City.

In addition to Chang'an, county soldiers from Changling, Yangzong, Baling, Duling, Xinfeng, Lantian, Zhengxian, Shangluo, and Shang counties, as well as tribes of wealthy families, as well as young men recruited from the countryside, are all here. Gather at Chang'an City.

Huangfu Li wanted to defend Chang'an.

Chang'an City is high and deep, so as long as there is sufficient food and grass, it will be difficult to attack by force.

According to Huangfu Li's idea, if Chang'an City is defended for a year, the Zhou army may retreat.

However, even if Huangfu Li was confident, there were still a lot of rumors in Chang'an City

"I heard that all the wealthy families have moved to Yizhou with their families."

"I saw with my own eyes that the Xu family in the city has moved away"

"Should I stay in Chang'an City and die?"

"Zhou's army is too brave and the city of Chang'an cannot be defended."

The origin of the rumor came from the Zhou army scouts who sneaked into Chang'an City.

The role of the Qingqi battalion is not only to keep an eye on the enemy's military camp in the wild and observe the enemy's movements.

At the same time, in order to obtain more accurate intelligence and achieve destruction and disruption The role of the enemy's rear.

The Qingqi Battalion has begun to penetrate into the enemy's city.

Now, what the Qingqi Battalion's scouts are doing is to create all kinds of unfavorable rumors to make Chang'an city uneasy and panic.

If everything goes well, then The residents in Chang'an City will try their best to escape from the city.

And this is also a kind of"literary attack", which is an invisible battlefield.

……

On the other side, Zhang He's march was extremely fast, and 30,000 cavalry had passed through Bingzhou and entered Yongzhou.

Among the 30,000 cavalry, there are 10,000 Xianbei cavalry, 10,000 Rouran cavalry, 1,000 Zhou Wu soldiers, 2,000 death camp, 3,000 Dawn cavalry, and 4,000 Huben camp.

At this time, a school captain said to Zhang He:

Zhang He reined in the reins, stopped the horse, and handed over the map.

The map was redrawn by the Qingqi Battalion and was more accurate than the map in Huangfu Li's hand.

Zhang He said:"Send a surprise force to capture Chencang, and attack Wugong, Meiyang, Yixian, and Yongxian with a large army!"

Chencang District is located in the transition zone between the Qinling Mountains, the Guan Plain, and the Loess Plateau, and has an undisputed strategic location.

When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Liu Bang adopted Han Xin's strategy.

The plank road is built openly and the warehouse is secretly built.

Liu Bang sent a small force to secretly attack Chencang, capture Hanzhong and defeat Zhang Han.

When Han Sui and others rebelled, they also wanted to capture Chencang, but Guo Guo and others besieged Chencang and could not capture it for a long time.

Zhang He understood that if he wanted to capture Chen Cang, he could only do so out of hand, not by force.

Therefore, Zhang He also planned to launch a surprise attack, using a small group of elite troops to attack Chencang by surprise.

Once Chencang is breached, I believe Huangfu Li and others will panic.

……

However, Huangfu Li's attention at this time has been attracted by Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao bypassed the county towns along the way and attacked Chang'an. When he arrived outside Chang'an City, he set up camp and looked like he was going to attack Chang'an City at any time.

As Huangfu Song's nephew.

Huangfu Li, who was born into a general, was no idiot.

Huangfu Li mobilized five thousand cavalry as a mobile force, ready to leave the city at any time to destroy Zhang Liao's siege equipment.

At the same time, Huangfu Li only mobilized 20,000 civilians and 10,000 young men to help defend the city.

Woo - as the horn blows.

The low and suppressed sound of the trumpet made Huangfu Li lead many generals to the top of the city.

At this time, a large number of trebuchets were already being assembled.

Jinglan and Linchong are also rapidly taking shape.

Huangfu Li had long heard that the Zhou army was invincible and victorious.

Among them, the most critical part that affected the siege warfare was the continuous improvement of siege equipment by the Zhou army.

At this time, the seemingly heavy parts were removed from the bullock carts and then assembled into shapes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They saw that the siege equipment was quickly assembled, and the speed of assembly was beyond everyone's expectations.

Wait until the siege equipment is assembled.

Ox carts carrying stone bullets came to the trebuchet.

There are special equipment responsible for lifting the stones.

These simple pulleys and lever principles, with the wisdom of the craftsmen, greatly save manpower consumption and speed up the loading of ammunition.

"put!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, stone bullets weighing dozens of kilograms flew towards the city wall.

Huangfu Li held his breath and shouted:"The whole army remains in formation, don't panic!"

On the top of the city, there were only two thousand garrison troops, and the rest of the troops and horses were placed under the city tower.

At this time, the wealthy families under the city tower also sent their own sons, wearing strong armor and strong weapons, to watch Huangfu Li's command.

Huangfu Li commanded well and never panicked. He was indeed a talented general.
