Chapter eight hundred and sixty seventh surprise attack on Chang'an(1/2)
The main forces of the Xia army and Qin army met in the north of the Wei River, and the third battle after the Battle of Mangshan and the Battle of Hedong broke out, and it was also the last battle.
The wind was strong and the reeds were falling, and Lu Bu held the Fangtian Painted Spear in his hand, his face turned ashen.
The Xia army camped on the opposite side and did not fight for three consecutive days. The two armies faced each other. As long as Chu Tian did not launch an attack, Lu Bu's ambush never worked.
Li Yuanhao was not in a hurry: "The Xia army came from afar, and the food and grass should be insufficient, and they will be forced to attack soon."
In Chang'an City, under the majestic and vicissitudes of ancient city walls, a cavalry rushed towards him, and sand and dust rolled, covering the sky!
"What is that? Sand and dust?"
"Cabin, that's cavalry!"
"Is the King of Qin's cavalry?"
The defenders of Chang'an City discovered this cavalry and immediately took alert. Thousands of defenders climbed the city and looked at them.
When the cavalry outside the city approached, the defenders of Chang'an City quickly realized that this was not Lu Bu's cavalry, but Xia's cavalry, because the Xia army's battle flags were rushing!
The sandstorm churned, and the defenders of Chang'an City could not tell how many enemies there were.
Taishici held the longbow and led the Qiexue army to stop one after another, while low-level cavalry arrived continuously in the rear.
According to the opinions of each military advisor, Taishici divided the three thousand low-level cavalry into three batches, tied branches on the ponytails, arrived in batches, pretending to be a large number of troops.
The defenders of Chang'an City were indeed trapped and were extremely frightened.
Taishici's cavalry with less than 5,000 men had created the momentum of tens of thousands of cavalry.
The 20,000 to 30,000 defenders in Chang'an City were shocked by thousands of cavalrymen of Taishici.
Taishi Ci held the bow, rode his horse to the city, bent his bow and took an arrow.
"What does he want to do?"
"Bed crossbow, bed crossbow is ready!"
The defenders of Chang'an City were panicked because Taishici approached the city gate alone.
The guard general Wei Xu stared at Taishi Ci, wanting to know what this Xia army general wanted.
"Is it possible that he will conquer Chang'an with his own strength? It's too arrogant."
Wei Xu saw Taishi Ci bent his bow and arrow and aimed it at him.
Wei Xu suddenly felt uneasy and crisis.
The arrow was like a meteor, and Wei Xu had no time to dodge. An arrow passed through the red tassel on Wei Xu's helmet and nailed it to the wooden pillar on the city tower!
As long as Taishici is willing, perhaps the arrow will not hit Wei Xu's red charm, but Wei Xu's appearance.
Wei Xu was scared for a while and couldn't help but sweat.
"I bring 50,000 cavalry to attack Chang'an, and there are still 500,000 troops behind! The Qin army has been defeated, Lu Bu was captured, and King Xia won a great victory! If Chang'an City was surrendered early, you can still survive and do not blame him. Otherwise, when we break through the city gate, all those who do not want to surrender will be punished!"
Taishici's voice was loud and he persuaded the defenders to surrender.
When the defenders of Chang'an City heard that the Qin army ahead had been defeated and the Xia army won, they were not sure what they were. They couldn't help but feel frightened.
Almost all the defenders looked at each other, and then looked at Wei Xu, who was the general of the city guarding.
"this……"
Wei Xu thought that Taishi Ci's bow and arrow almost cost his life, but this was the result of his mercy, and he was at a loss.
Taishici immediately ordered the preparation of siege equipment.
"Open the city gate, surrender, surrender to the Xia army!"
Seeing that Taishi Ci really wanted to attack the city, and there were cavalry behind him, Wei Xu believed that at least 50,000 Xia troops had arrived outside Chang'an City, otherwise how could they have confidence in siege the city? Moreover, with such a large number of Xia troops at the city, it is very likely that the main force of the Qin army on the front line had been defeated, so in panic, he surrendered to Taishi Ci without resisting.
The gate of Chang'an City was wide open, and the Qiexue army seized the gate and drove straight in!
Wei Xu took the initiative to meet Taishi Ci, and when he saw the brave and good at fighting Qie Xue Jun, he became even more frightened.
He followed Lu Bu, and Lu Bu participated in the expedition to the Western Regions and other battles with Temujin, under the command of the old Qin, so Wei Xu had seen the terrifying Qiexue army.
During Temujin's peak period, the Qiexue army had nine-level cavalry, with 10,000 people, which was enough to break through many civilizations.
Wei Xu believed that even if he led an army of 50,000, he would be defeated by Taishi Ci's less than 2,000 Qie Xue's army.
"The criminal Wei Xu has seen this general, but I don't know where King Xia is?"
Wei Xu looked at Taishi Ci, who was good at shooting with a monkey arm, and knew that this person was not King Xia, and King Xia's force would not be enough to kill the general defending the city under the city.
Taishici said coldly: "The King of Xia is still confronting Lu Bu north of the Wei River."
"Oh, it turns out that King Xia is still north of the Wei River...what?!"
Wei Xu's pupils suddenly dilated.
He thought that Taishi Ci had fought to Chang'an City because Lu Bu's main force on the front line had been defeated, but he did not expect that the Xia army had not yet fought with Lu Bu.
In other words, he was frightened by Taishi Ci's force and threats and was deceived and opened the city gate!
"Now Chang'an City is in my hands. If Lu Bu knew, you would be killed by Lu Bu and the five horses were dismembered, do you know the consequences?"
Taishici was no longer worried that Wei Xu would rebel.
According to the information provided by the players, Wei Xu, the general under Lu Bu, was not so loyal and timid. In addition, he was deceived by the city. After Lu Bu knew about it, he would definitely kill him.
Wei Xu was sweating profusely. He knew that it was useless to blame himself. He gave Chang'an City, which had a population of millions in vain, and he could only follow King Xia in the future.
So Wei Xu quickly said, "The most general offered the city, not because he was afraid of the Xia King's military force, but because he had long wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Now that the Xia King's army has arrived, it is too late for the last general to eat and drink slurry, so how could it be repeated?"
"That's good."
Taishici led the Qiexue army and drove straight to the palace. Many ministers in the court were panicked and ran around.
"The Xia army attacked Chang'an City and headed straight to the palace!"
"Will the Xia army massacre the city?"
"I haven't heard of the Xia army's massacre of the city. Even if we suppress various tribes, the Xia army did not massacre."
"That's good, that's good."
These ministers include old ministers left by Emperor Ling of Han, and a group of ministers appointed by the old Qin.
Among all the ministers, only Xun Yu, who was actually responsible for the operation of the Han court, was very calm.
Xun You served in the Chutian power, while Xun Yu was still maintaining the weak Han court and assisting Li Si in governing the internal affairs of Guanzhong.
Li Si manages Xianyang, while Xun Yu manages Chang'an.
A group of gray-haired ministers found Xun Yu. They all knew that Xun You was a strategist in the Xia army and was one of the main strategists. At least he found Xun Yu and sought asylum.
"Don't worry, the situation cannot be worse."
When Xun Yu faced the noisy ministers, what he said made the ministers confused.
A servant said: "The Xia army had a feud with the imperial court. Now that the Xia cavalry has entered the city, the situation is critical. How could he say that?"
Xun Yu shook his head: "The imperial court's government orders do not leave Chang'an City, even if it is Chang'an City, the troops and public security will not be under the jurisdiction of the court. The imperial court has no power or power, but is just a vassal of the princes. What is the difference between the Xia army occupying Chang'an and the Qin army occupying Chang'an?"
After Xun Yu said that, the court ministers were silent and the women cried. The court was indeed just an optional decoration. The reason why the old Qin kept the Han court was to deal with the surrounding civilizations. There was a name that could order the princes to stop fighting and unanimously go to the outside world.
The princes within the Han Empire had a fierce battle, but when the Han Empire faced a threat, the court could come forward.
Apart from foreign wars and the enthronement of officials, the court really has no sense of existence.
Taishici held a sword and led a team of cavalry to the stone steps of Chang'an Palace. The battle-torn Qixue army, who was experiencing many battles, was murderous, and most of the ministers were trembling.
"The Chang'an Palace Imperial Guards will be replaced, and the jurisdiction of the Qiexue Army will be under the jurisdiction of all the rebels. All those who commit rebellion will be killed without mercy!"
Taishi spoke righteously and righteously. Even if some ministers had any objections, the Qiexue army won over others with their virtue, so they dared not speak out.
There is nothing to say about these ministers. Except for some ministers who are valuable, other teams basically need to replace people from Chutian's power.
After all, most ministers left by Emperor Ling of Han were old and old, and most of them were old enough to retire.
Chang'an City was in a state of solemnity. After Taishici entered the city, Wei Xu discovered that Taishici had less than 5,000 horses, and he regretted it even more.
However, there was no regret medicine, and Wei Xu could only follow Taishi Ci.
Since he chose to surrender, Wei Xu found a way to please Taishi Ci and wanted to become Taishi Ci's deputy general.
As one of the escorts of King Xia, the Qiexue Army could become the deputy general of the Qiexue Army. Such opportunities were not common.
Taishici has not yet recruited any decent deputy generals, and Taishici has not refused to show his favor to Wei Xu on his own initiative.
Maybe Wei Xu didn't know that the force of a thousand households of the Qiexue Army was at least 80 years old, and the commander's value was not low. Wei Xu's attributes may be inferior to that of a thousand households of the Qiexue Army.
Players in Chang'an City were alarmed.
Chang'an City, the capital of the Han Empire, Xianyang City, the new city built by Lao Qin, and the two most important cities were occupied by the Xia army. Then it was only a matter of time before the Xia army wiped out the entire Guanzhong.
For a moment, the world was shocked!
The most shocked was the Qin army commanded by Lu Bu, who was arrayed north of the Wei River.
Lu Bu couldn't wait to fight Chu Tian to make a decisive battle.
But before the Xia army launched an attack, news of the loss of Chang'an City came. The general of Xianyang City, Hou Cheng, saw that the situation was not good, and then surrendered to the Xia army.
To be continued...
