Chapter 630 Take over Chang'an(1/2)
Let's talk about Chen's army, Bai Zhi's special forces climbed up Longxi City, and with an overwhelming advantage, drove the defenders off the city wall.
Open the city gate and lower the drawbridge.
Jiang Xu, Jiang Yin, Jiang Ji, Zhao Ang, Zhao Qu and other generals led the cavalry and infantry into the city gate and chased the defenders.
The morale of the city defenders was low and they had no fighting spirit. When they saw the Xiakou army charging into the city, they turned around and fled.
No matter how much Liang Kuan shouted, no one listened.
Surrender without killing!
Lay down your weapons and surrender!
Anyone with weapons will be killed without mercy!
Amidst the shouts of the soldiers of the Xiakou Army, countless defenders dropped their weapons and surrendered to the Xiakou Army.
Liang Kuan sighed!
He drew out his sword and lightly slashed his neck.
Die by suicide!
Liang Kuan committed suicide, making it impossible for Chen to hold the Liang family accountable.
The Xiakou army took over the city and the warehouse.
"Report to General Chen that a total of more than 3,000 defenders were annihilated and more than 10,000 were captured. Our army suffered few casualties."
Send orders to soldiers.
"How much grain is in the warehouse?"
Chen Daodao.
"General, we only collected 50,000 shi of grain from the warehouse, as well as some weapons, armor, bows and arrows, and more than 10,000 five-baht coins. There are also some skins and herbs left."
Send orders to soldiers.
"The warehouses were opened to release grain, and the civil servants who accompanied the army quickly took office, posted notices, stabilized the people in the city, and ordered soldiers to patrol.
Those who take the opportunity to smash, smash and rob will be severely punished, and those who commit serious crimes will be killed without mercy to ensure the safety of the people."
Chen Daodao.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
When Chen arrived at the army, he did not stay too long in Longxi City and left the civil servants accompanying him to take charge of affairs.
In order to ensure the safety of Longxi City, Chen Dao had more than 35,000 soldiers after being reorganized.
"Bo Yi and Zhao Qu, you two stay in Longxi City. I will leave you two 5,000 soldiers.
We must prevent Qiang harassment and invasion to ensure the safety of Longxi. In addition, Zhong Yi brought five thousand soldiers and horses to Tianshui City to garrison.
Protect the safety of the people in Tianshui City. You should stabilize yourself first. I heard from my lord that Cao Cao has been dispatched.
The Guo Jia Corps goes out to Liangzhou, and as long as they capture the Liangzhou area, the pressure on you will be much less."
Chen Daodao.
"As you command!"
Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong and Zhao Qu were holding their fists together.
"In order to ensure the safety of Longxi City, I have left three thousand cavalry here. You can make good use of them."
Chen Daodao.
"Thank you, General Chen."
Jiang Xudao.
"General Chen, we have opened a warehouse to store grain. There is not much grain left. How will we replenish grain in the future?"
Zhao Qu said.
"Don't worry about the food and grass issue. No matter Tianshui City or Longxi City, including the food and grass in the county,
In the short term, it will be shipped from Hanzhong. However, in the long term, we must develop the economy and strive to be able to sustain ourselves within one year."
Chen Daodao.
"As you command!"
Zhao Qu said.
After making arrangements for defense, Chen arrived and his army set off, pressing from the street pavilion to Qinzhou County and other places.
Due to the capture of Tianshui and the two cities in Longxi, many county towns opened their city gates and surrendered when they saw the Xiakou army approaching.
The army went smoothly and swept all the way.
Some cities want to resist.
The next day, dozens of catapults opened fire together, and huge stones hit the city wall, frightening the defenders to their core.
When the county magistrate and county captain saw that the situation was not good, they had no choice but to open the city gate, surrender, and then continue to resist.
He might be brutally killed by the Xiakou Army.
More than ten days later, Chen Dao led an infantry division of more than 20,000 people to the gates of Chang'an City.
The city wall of Chang'an City is more than nine feet high, which is considered the tallest city wall in the Han Dynasty. The wall thickness is more than one foot.
If you want to conquer such a fortified city, you must pay a heavy price.
As long as more than a thousand soldiers are left to garrison a city gate, they can block the attack of thousands of troops.
To be honest, if it weren't for the internal forces in the city and Chen Dao's 20,000 troops, it would be very difficult to capture Chang'an City.
On the city wall.
Zhong Yao stood on the city wall and saw the soldiers of the Xiakou army in full formation, with orderly formations and unified actions.
Stand like a pine, move like a rabbit.
What a powerful army.
Zhong Yao received a letter from Xun Yu, introducing various policies and policies promulgated in the Xiakou area over the years.
Vigorously support industry and commerce, so that people in the entire Xiakou area can have enough to eat, wear clothes, and have a place to live.
Now the people in the jurisdiction are changing towards better food, better clothing, and better housing, with abundant products and affordable prices.
Zhong Yao was a great scholar of his generation and was not disgusted with the various policies implemented by Qin Qi in the Xiakou area.
Zhong Yao was a great calligrapher of his generation and also a politician.
Chen Dao rode his war horse and ran to the city gate.
"Lord Zhong, I humbly accept the order of my lord to take over the defense of Chang'an City. Internal affairs are still under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhong."
Chen Daodao.
"General Chen, I have received Wen Ruo's letter and have been waiting for the Xiakou Army to take over the city defense. Please wait a moment and I will have someone open the city gate immediately."
Zhong Yao said.
"Thank you, Master Zhong!"
Chen Dao Bao Quan Do.
Guchi!
Guchi!
"Order, General Zhao Ang takes over the city defense with five thousand soldiers and horses. The rest of the soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the city and are stationed outside the city. Without orders, soldiers are not allowed to enter the city at will and disturb the people in the city. This is a violation of military law."
Chen Daodao.
"As you command!"
Zhao Ang said.
"Order, Uncle Yang and Jiang Yin, to rectify the soldiers in the city as soon as possible. Those who meet the requirements are willing to join the Xiakou Army.
Reorganize and reorganize the soldiers who are unwilling to do so, pay them travel expenses, and let them go home to farm, without any mistreatment."
Chen Daodao.
"As you command!"
Yang Bo and Jiang Yin cupped their fists.
Chen Dao led more than a dozen personal guards and walked into Chang'an City.
"I've met Master Zhong!"
Chen Dao Bao Quan Do.
"General Chen, you're welcome!"
