Chapter 114: The Battle of Chang'an
Cai Yan's mood has experienced a "bump" of joy and sorrow over the past few days.
Of course, she finally met her father who had been separated for almost two years. She was worried that her husband was going to go to the battle in person again, and the target of this battle was extraordinary, and the remnants of Dong Zhuo, who once dominated the world.
Next to the Zhuyang Mianshui Wharf, a large number of newly built warships in the past two years were gathered, as well as civilian ships temporarily recruited from Xiangyang, Shangyong and Xicheng.
The soldiers who went to the war were boarding the ship in an orderly manner. Feng Yu also said goodbye to his wife and concubine, and promised Lier that he would return to Zhuyang before the child was born.
Then, Feng Yu, surrounded by his personal guards, boarded a flagship. This time, Feng Yu used the entire Zhao Yun army. In addition, there were 300 elite troops drawn from each city from the thirteen cities, totaling nearly 4,000 elite troops. In addition to Zhao Yun, the generals who went to the expedition with Feng Yu also had Dian Qing, Liao Hua and Wei Feng.
The huge fleet would also be filled with the not-short waterway. When the fleet penetrated through the Dankou Dam lock, the water surface that appeared in the eyes of the passengers suddenly became clear, and the soldiers and sailors ran to the deck to watch the magnificent artificial landscape.
Feng Yu, who was brightly armored, also stood on the deck, but he was already familiar with the landscape. He did not immerse himself in this beautiful scenery like others, but admired the crossbow placed on the deck.
These crossbows are enlarged versions of powerful crossbows. Although their performance is not as good as the three-bow crossbows that appeared in the Song Dynasty in the original world, they can also project crossbow guns weighing more than ten kilograms to two hundred steps away. They are installed in the newly built marshal warships in Zhuyang City.
The emergence of ship-borne crossbows also marked the beginning of water warfare mode from platoon combat and close-range impact warfare to long-range shooting.
...
Like Luoyang, Chang'an at this time did not have the outer walls of the original Sui and Tang dynasties. Therefore, Lu Bu did not hide in the narrow inner city to defend, but instead attacked the invading rebels between the streets and the suburbs of the outer city.
The reason for his doing this is also very simple. If he concealed in the inner city, Li Jue and Guo Si's army would surround the inner city with a circumference of only a dozen miles.
At that time, no one in the city would have any way out and could only hand over all their lives and deaths to foreign reinforcements.
Although Chen Diao has notified Feng Yu to come to the aid, it is unknown whether Feng Yu's aid will be intercepted by the rebels and when it will arrive.
In addition, if tens of thousands of rebels really siege the inner city and build two circular defense lines inside and outside, it is unknown whether Feng Yu's army can break the encirclement even if it comes.
At this time, the outer city of Chang'an, burning houses, corpses and broken flags could be seen everywhere. From time to time, you can see small scouts from both sides encountering each other and fighting fiercely. The civilians who originally lived here either fled early or were killed by riots or kidnapped into hard labor and camp prostitutes.
In the outer city of Chang'an City, Li Jue and Guo Si's rebels launched a fierce attack again. They divided their troops into four groups and advanced along the streets and alleys in the ruins toward the inner city.
There were 1,500 people all the way, commanded by Yang Feng, the subordinate of Li Jue. When they were still dozens of battles away from the inner city wall, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the ruins and ruined houses on both sides of the street.
Yang Feng saw a personal soldier in front of him, and he staggered and fell to the ground after being shot in the head. Yang Feng roared: "Didn't the scouts and horses say that both sides of the streets are cleaned up? Why are there still hiding the other party's crossbowmen! These horses are all killed!"
Without his orders, the generals and schools have already directed some soldiers to search for the ruined buildings on both sides. Soon, there were sounds of fighting and fighting behind the ruined houses.
Yang Feng pulled out his sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "Don't stop the rest of the people and horses, keep moving forward. Go to the city gate and block the city gate!"
Under his command, the rebels of Xiliang continued to surge like a torrent. When they passed an intersection, three or four hundred Bingzhou soldiers suddenly appeared on their flanks, and somewhere they emerged.
This was the camp led by Gao Shun. At this time, Gao Shun led the way and ran wildly. In the rebels, a lieutenant turned his head and saw an enemy coming, and Gao Shun's spear pierced into his right rib. The soldiers of the camp behind Gao Shun also used their swords and guns, and in a running state, they cut and stabbed together.
Yang Fengjun's soldiers were caught off guard. Amid the splashing blood and howling, they were cut open by sharp blades and sharp knives, and fell down one after another. The entire team soon allowed the camp to cross over and was cut into two pieces. The street entrance was full of the corpses of rebel soldiers who were lying in pools of blood.
Yang Feng had no choice but to stop marching towards the inner city, commanded the team that was intercepted into two sections, and met again at the intersection of the street to kill Gao Shun. The two sides immediately fought against each other, and fought fiercely on the street with guns and guns...
Wu Xi, a general under Guo Si, led another rebel army, with about a thousand troops, to attack the east gate of the inner city. The journey went smoothly and he did not encounter any sniper along the way. When he was more than fifty battles away from the city gate, the gate suddenly opened.
A cavalry led more than 500 elite cavalry to suddenly emerge. Amid the sound of horse hooves like thunder in summer, they ran to the front of Wu Xi's team at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, like wind and clouds. The cavalry and spears were raised together.
"Let's array!" Wu Xi just shouted this order, and Lu Bu's halberd had already picked up the front lieutenant of the team, and then the halberd blade swept across, and white light flashed by, and several rebel corpses had fallen to the ground.
Wu Xi saw clearly that the general was coming, and his heart trembled. Lu Bu actually took the Bingzhou wolf cavalry out of the city in person!
He had just flashed this idea, and rows of barrage flying up and down, carrying unparalleled horse speed, rolling rows of rebel soldiers to the ground.
A sword and shield soldier subconsciously pushed the shield to block it, but his shield was pierced by a rifle. At the same time, his body was knocked to the ground by another wolf riding war horse, and then his bones and flesh were trampled on by the iron hooves.
A spearman plucked up the courage to stab the spear at the opponent's war cavalry. The spearman stabbed the spear into the chest, but the spearman was also brought down by a huge impact, and then was stomped into the chest by the tragic war horse. The rider on the war cavalry had just rolled down.
Another spearman also stabbed a wolf cavalry war horse with a gun. Before the spear was still there, the tip of a long halberd was inserted into his forehead instantly, and then it was provoked and threw it into the air. After falling, it smashed the two of them.
Lu Bu danced with a big halberd, and swept across Wu Xi's entire team like a reincarnation of the overlord. Only one broken body was left behind them.
Wu Xi saw that the situation was not good, so he drove away and rushed to the front of the wolf cavalry to let him run. He stabbed several guns, stabbed into his body, held him into the air, and then threw him down...
Wu Xi was killed, and his rebels were defeated along the way, and rushed backwards in chaos.
...
"Puff", Gao Shun pierced the chest of a rebel soldier with a spear in his hand. There were more than 200 soldiers in the camp beside him, and he continued to wield his weapons and slash and kill.
A slashed from Gao Shun's right side. Gao Shun had no time to withdraw his gun, but he had already abandoned the gun and pulled out his sword from his waist, blocking the opponent's chopping. Then he rushed forward with a quick step and sent the blade into the opponent's belly...
Yang Feng, who was watching the battle in the rear, saw that although the opponent suffered a lot of casualties, he suffered even greater casualties. His soldiers were fighting less and less. Besides, Li Jue didn't ask him to fight with all his strength.
"Retreat!" Yang Feng finally couldn't stand it and ordered a retreat. This retreat naturally turned into a defeat. So Xin, Gao Shun's camp did not pursue it continuously.
