Chapter 473: Han Xingcheng destroyed

Early the next morning when the kingdom besieged Hanxing City, he ordered the continued siege of the city...

Yuan Pang on the city wall also looked bitter. While he ordered the soldiers to speed up the transportation of materials to defend the city, he asked the few stonemasons to repair the city wall. However, the war was too fierce, and the speed of repairing the city wall was far less than that of the speed of destruction.

At ten minutes at noon, the walls of Hanxing City began to collapse, and the rebels outside the city rushed in from the gap in the city wall like a flood. The strength of the imperial army in the city was more than one step away. In addition, the collapse of the city wall affected morale, so it was difficult for them to organize effective defenses against these rebels who rushed in.

The imperial army fought and retreated, while the rebels pressed forward step by step, and the two sides launched street fighting in the city.

At this time, the kingdom suddenly received a news that was also told by the leader of the Yiren forces who fought against Hanxing City with him. It was said that Zhang Wen and Sun Jian led nearly five million imperial troops to more than 200 kilometers west of Hanxing City. In less than a day, this army would come to Hanxing City.

The kingdom was shocked by the news. It was a five million army! Even if he took Hanxing City now, how could he defend it?

Under the persuasion of several leaders of the alien forces, the kingdom did not give up attacking Hanxingcheng in the end, but launched a more crazier attack anyway.

A few hours later, Hanxing City fell, and even Yuan Pang, the Jinwu, was unable to escape from the city and was killed in the chaos. Although this kingdom took Hanxing City, the surrounding city walls were seriously damaged, and nearly one-third of the city walls collapsed. In this case, defending the city is no different from siege.

The kingdom simply took away the souls of the ancestral temples in the moment of breaking through the stone tablets of Hanxingcheng and destroyed Hanxingcheng.

Destroying the city sounds crazy, but in fact the kingdom's approach is easy to understand. Because the Hanxing City, which was occupied by him, was actually an empty city. Who made Yang Tian transport all the people in the city after capturing Hanxing City? Even if the city was occupied, it would not make much sense. Moreover, the damaged city walls could not resist the upcoming attack of Zhang Wen's army.

After destroying Hanxing City, the kingdom raised a high flagpole in the center of the city, hanging Yuan Pang's head on the flagpole. Then he led the army back to Hanyang, leaving only the ruins of the land and the shaking head.

...

Zhang Wen had already arrived in Hanxing City in the evening of that day. In fact, at the normal marching speed, they should have arrived at noon the next day, but due to Yuan Pang's urging, he had to speed up the marching speed. However, they ultimately failed to save Hanxing City and failed to save Yuan Pang.

After ordering the army to search the ruins of Hanxing City, Zhang Wen also found Yuan Pang's head. Zhang Wen was quite moved by the death of this colleague. Unexpectedly, after a few months of conquering Xiliang, a deputy general would die here in the imperial army, which gave him a hint of sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox.

Zhang Wen asked someone to take Yuan Pang's head off, then cremate it, and let a personal guard take him, preparing to take him back to Luoyang on the day of his troops back to the court in the future, so as to give an explanation to his family. In fact, this is also a sustenance to his future destiny? I hope that I can return to Luoyang with Yuan Pang's ashes in that day.

Now Hanxing City has become a pile of ruins. Zhang Wen didn't know where to go. Should he turn to attack Hanyang City? Or should he continue to advance eastward and then enter Meiyang to defend against the attack of Ma Chao's army? Or should he enter Chencang City to resist the Han Sui army coming from the west?

At this time, Sun Jian made a suggestion to him, that is, to advance to Meiyang, and to besiege Ma Chao with Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, and to eliminate this rebel army with huge development potential as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it continues to grow and grow, it would be not an easy task to wipe out again.

Zhang Wen thought for a while and agreed to Sun Jian's suggestion. In his opinion, entering Meiyang City at this time is indeed the best choice, because Meiyang City is a heavy city, and it is indeed much easier to defend. As long as you are more careful, it is probably difficult to win this heavy city even if the enemy pays three or four times the price.

At that moment, Zhang Wen ordered the army to take a break above the ruins. The next morning, the army set out and headed towards Meiyang City.

Two days later, the kingdom led the army back to Hanyang, and Zhang Wen also led the imperial army back to Meiyang City. At this time, the situation in the three parties showed a delicate balance and the war entered a stalemate. With the strength of Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen's army, it was basically unlikely to attack Wugong City occupied by Ma Chao, and it was also unlikely if Ma Chao wanted to take down any city like Meiyang or Xianyang. As for Dong Zhuo, he did not dare or did not intend to send troops to attack Xianyang at this time. He had his reason, that was that the kingdom's army was threatening Xinping City.

...

It took seven or eight days, Yang Tian led millions of troops back to Qinchuan City. Chen Gong opened the city gate and came to greet each other several miles away. Then a large group of people entered Qinchuan City in a mighty manner. It took him several hours before all the soldiers entered the city.

Before, Yang Tian and others had already learned about the news that the kingdom led their army to capture Hanxing City, and also knew about Ma Chao occupying Wugong County. Undoubtedly, the situation at this time had reached an extremely urgent moment.

That night, Yang Tian had a detailed conversation with Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Xuanyuan Jian and other players' leaders, and then decided that Yang Tian would lead his direct subordinates to stay in Qinchuan City to resist Han Sui's army. Xuanyuan Jian and others led all the player legions to the east to return to Meiyang City to assist Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen in the strategy of Wugong County.

This suggestion was proposed by Guo Jia. When Xuanyuan Jian and others heard his proposal, their only thought was that Guo Jia was too crazy and wanted to fight against Han Sui's tens of millions of troops with only more than 200,000 troops. Even if they were fighting in the city, they would have no chance of winning, right?

Although the imperial army fought against Yan Xing eight days ago and captured nearly 300,000 of the other troops, of which nearly 100,000 were invested under Yang Tian's command, the extra troops were completely a drop in the bucket. Moreover, these people were newly surrendered soldiers, and if the war was unfavorable, they might be the first to rebel.

However, due to Yang Tian's insistence and Guo Jia's repeated proposals, Xuanyuan Jian and others had no choice but to agree to this arrangement. Although they really want to stay and compete with Han Sui's army with the Qinchuan City Wall, the war in the Meiyang area is indeed very urgent. The longer it delays, the more unfavorable it is to the court. After all, because of Ma Chao, Ma Teng's power is getting bigger and bigger. Once the scale of his army is expanded to a certain level, I am afraid that Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and others will not have a good life.

After the matter was decided, everyone dispersed. After all the players left, Yang Tian asked Guo Jia with confusion this time: "Fengxiao, why did you propose that we stay and fight against Han Sui's army alone? With our current strength, it may not be easy to do it, right?"

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "My lord, your words are not true! In fact, what you want to say is that it is not easy for us to do it, but it is impossible for us to do it."

Yang Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Since Fengxiao knows this, why do you still have such suggestions?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Since the lord has never known, why did he agree with his subordinates' opinions?"

Yang Tian looked at him angrily and said, "Don't keep it aside. Don't I understand Fengxiao yet? Is there any conspiracy waiting for Han Sui, otherwise I will agree with your suggestion?"

Guo Jia said: "The lord trusts his subordinates so much, which makes his subordinates feel ashamed. In fact, the subordinates' plan is completely based on your wishes. Do you want to end the rebellion in Xiliang as soon as possible? If you keep those Yiren army in Qinchuan City, even if Han Sui rushed outside Qinchuan City, he would not dare to attack the city easily. By the time we send all Yiren troops away tomorrow, this news can naturally be hidden from Han Sui. With our only 300,000 troops, Han Sui would not even think about it and would directly attack Qinchuan City. In this way, wouldn't it be much better than what we were doing?"

Yang Tian said: "I naturally understand this principle, but the key is how can we defend Qinchuan City with our little force?"

Guo Jia smiled leisurely and said, "It is true that we have only more than 300,000 people in Qinchuan City now, but the lord's Baiyun City is more than 300,000 troops?"

Yang Tian was shocked and suddenly realized, and said, "This is a good idea! It seems that we have to prepare a big meal for Han Sui. However, we have to plan the matters that our army keeps secrets in Qinchuan City, otherwise the strength of the entire Baiyun City will be exposed and will push us to the forefront, which will be more than worth the loss."

Chen Gong continued: "The lord doesn't need to worry about this. As long as you turn Qinchuan City into an empty city, you naturally don't need to worry about exposing anything."

"Very wonderful!" Yang Tian laughed loudly and immediately settled the matter.

...

Early the next morning, the imperial army began to gather and quickly left Qinchuan City.

At this time, Han Sui's army was more than 100 kilometers away from Qinchuan City. By the time he arrived outside Qinchuan City, these imperial alien armies had already walked away.
