"The thief can't move forward, Zhen Duan is here!" At this moment, at the other side of the street, Zhen Duan arrived with the remaining guards.
With only about thirty people, Zhen Duan appeared and blocked the road between Ximen Main Street and the city gate. What they had to face were thousands of Chang'an soldiers.
Zhen Yao ducked sideways to avoid the spear thrust of a soldier. He glanced at the street behind him and saw Zhen Duan struggling to resist Chang'an soldiers and horses, and became even more anxious. But it was useless to be anxious at this time. At the front, Zhao Yun was already approaching the city gate. Zhang Fei backed up to Zhen Yao with a spear and shouted loudly: "Lord, fight out of the city with Fei!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhen Yao quickly adjusted his thoughts and rushed forward with Zhang Fei. After dodging several sharp arrows, he successfully met Zhao Yun. The three of them worked together and led the few soldiers around to attack the city. Door.
At this time, in the camp outside the city, Xiao Zuo, who secretly followed Cao's soldiers, also discovered that Cao's soldiers had made some changes, and immediately reported it to Jushou and others. After listening to what Xizuo said, the generals of Cao's army gathered their troops and horses, Jushou said decisively: "Gongming, you lead five thousand heavy cavalry to the main gate of Cao's camp; Wenyuan, you lead your troops and horses to surround the rear of Cao's camp."
"General Fengxian, please lead the wolf cavalry and a group of infantry and rush to Chang'an City as quickly as possible. Something will happen in Chang'an City tonight, and my lord's life will be in the hands of the general." Jushou didn't know that Zhen Yao had already made peace with him. The Chang'an soldiers took over and left Chang'an soon.
Xu Huang and the three men did not delay, and they divided their forces and headed towards each other with their soldiers who were ready at any time. Of the three, Xu Huang was naturally the fastest to reach the destination. Five thousand heavy cavalry with black armor and black scales appeared outside Cao's camp, but Xia Houyuan, who was about to leave the camp, was stunned. The next moment, he knew that he The plan of the others must have been leaked out.
Xia Houyuan is also a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Although there have been changes, he will never mess up his position. He opened the entrance to the village and led the troops out of the camp. He said: "General Xu has set up such a formation in front of my camp. What advice do you have?" ?¡±
Xu Huang held a giant ax in his hand and looked directly at Xia Houyuan with cold eyes, without saying a word or giving an order. He was waiting for Zhang Liao to make the first move in Cao's rear camp, so he simply said nothing and wasted his time.
Xu Huang didn't speak, and Xia Houyuan also noticed something was wrong, but if he was asked to lead his soldiers to attack the heavy cavalry formation, it was obviously an egg against a stone. He immediately clapped his horse and shouted coldly: "General Xu, don't bully others too much. I will fight with him You have a good fight!¡±
"Huh!" With a low shout, Xu Huang also clapped his horse and ran away, sweeping his long ax in front of him and colliding with Xia Houyuan's long knife.
In a competition of strength, Xia Houyuan was already inferior to Xu Huang. When it comes to the impact of weapons, the long sword is naturally not as good as the big axe. Therefore, Xia Houyuan suffered more in the first round of the contest. He was not knocked off his horse by the axe, which is because his equestrian skills are strong enough.
The defeat in the first confrontation made Xia Houyuan eager to regain his position. Regardless of the pain in his crotch, he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ran straight towards it. When approaching Xu Huang, the long knife suddenly slashed towards the opponent's ax arm.
"Little Doyle!" Pulling back the tomahawk, Xu Huang did not avoid the falling blade of the crossbar at all. The two heavy weapons locked horns in mid-air, and violent metal knocking sounds broke out.
The fight was going on in the front camp, but at this moment Zhang Liao had already led his troops to the rear camp of Cao's army. Without saying any greeting, he started to attack with a wave of his hand. Because Xia Houyuan had previously concentrated most of the soldiers in the camp in the front camp, preparing for a surprise attack on Zhenyao's camp, there were only a few hundred men garrisoned in the back camp. After only one encounter, they were defeated by the anxious Zhang Liao.
After wreaking havoc in the rear camp, Zhang Liao directed his troops to the main camp of Cao's army. There were killing cries in the main camp, and Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan in the front camp could hear them clearly. With a scornful smile on his lips, Xu Huang shouted: "Remount, attack!"
¡®Tap, tap, tap¡¯ the heavy cavalry charged, causing a shock on the ground. Even Xia Houyuan¡¯s mount was a little surprised and began to stir uneasily. There was a problem with the war horse, and Xia Houyuan, who was already weaker than Xu Huang, was unable to fight back and could only retreat temporarily under the cover of soldiers. But the heavy cavalry has already entered the camp, where can he retreat to?
Compared with Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and his group of siege soldiers inevitably moved a little slower. At least when Zhen Yao rushed to the city gate, started to open the giant wooden door bolt, and slowly pushed open the north gate of Chang'an. At that time, he was still rushing towards the south gate of Chang'an.
The north gate of Chang'an was pushed open by ten Wuji guards. Zhen Yao rushed out of the city gate under the protection of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. The moment he left the city, he looked back and saw that Zhen Duan and his surrounding soldiers had fallen into Chang'an. The encirclement of soldiers.
"Yao, I will take revenge on you!" Zhen Yao said with hatred in his heart with slightly moist eyes. Zhen Duan is the "old man" who has been following Zhen Duan in the Zhen Mansion since he was a child. In the early days of Zhen Yao's dominance, Zhen Duan always stayed at Wuji, allowing him to lead his troops away with peace of mind. But now, Zhen Duan, who is surrounded by the enemy, cannot Maybe he escaped and ascended to heaven. He is not dead, ?General An definitely wanted to kill him to vent his anger.
Escaping from the city gate does not mean that it is safe, on the contrary, it is more dangerous. After all, in the city, it is difficult for so many soldiers to exert force at the same time facing the streets. But once out of the city, in terms of the wilderness outside Chang'an City, once Zhen Yao Once caught up, it is almost impossible to escape.
"Let's go!" There were no horses, so the people who rushed out of the city had to walk. Fortunately, both Zhen Yao and his soldiers were in good physical condition. If they were just running, the Chang'an soldiers might not be able to outrun them. However, Chang'an's cavalry was completely destroyed in front of Lu Bu, otherwise Zhen Yao would not have rushed out of the city gate so easily.
When Zhen Yao was no more than a hundred steps away from the city, more and more troops were chasing him from behind. Bows and arrows flew from time to time, and it didn't matter that Zhen Yao had two tiger generals guarding him on the left and right, but the lives of the surviving guards under his command were not so good, and many fell down in a short time.
Instead of helping the bodyguard who fell to the ground, Zhen Yao could only focus on escaping for his own life at this moment. However, the west gate of Chang'an was far away from his camp, and Zhen Yao himself was not sure whether he could survive until the end.
"Lord, be careful." Another round of flying arrows fell. In order to block Zhen Yao's arrows, Zhao Yun did not bother to protect himself. While dodging, a sharp arrow pierced the light armor he was wearing, and the tip of the arrow had already penetrated into his back. .
"Zilong!" Zhao Yun was injured and Zhen Yao stopped immediately. Other soldiers might be able to abandon him, but how could Zhen Yao and Zhao Yun abandon him.
"Lord, don't worry about me." Zhao Yun didn't dare to stop, and pulled Zhen Yao forward and continued to rush forward. He reached his right hand to his back and pulled hard, and the arrow with scarlet blood was pulled out. Fortunately, the feather arrows were non-toxic, so Zhao Yun wrapped his back with a cloak, which was regarded as an emergency.
Seeing that Zhao Yun could still grit his teeth and hold on, Zhen Yao also ran forward with all his strength. This was the first time he had escaped like this since his debut. The sword in his hand was lost at some point. What he held in his hand was a one-handed knife snatched from a Chang'an soldier. If he didn't need a weapon for self-defense, Zhen Yao would definitely have thrown it away to reduce his burden.
Between chasing and escaping, Zhen Yao had already run several miles away. At this time, the only people left with him were Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and no more than a dozen personal guards. And except for Zhen Yao, almost everyone was injured.
"Ta Ta Ta Ta" ran wildly for half an hour. When Zhen Yao was about to die from exhaustion, bursts of horse stampedes suddenly came from ahead. Hearing the sound of galloping war horses, Zhen Yao immediately smiled, because outside of Chang'an City, except for himself and Lu Bu, who had enough cavalry, the rest, such as Cao Cao, were all infantry.
"It's the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Feng is here first!" Although his body was exhausted and his vision was a little blurry, it was still not a problem to distinguish the subordinates of the cavalry. After using the moonlight and the torches brought by the cavalry to confirm that they were wolf cavalry, Zhen Yao couldn't help but shout with joy: "Fengxian, Fengxian~~"
"My lord, there is someone shouting from the northwest!" Lu Bu, who was leading his troops at a gallop, did not notice Zhen Yao's shout. However, the Wolf Cavalry General on the side heard it and said, "It seems that someone is asking the general for help!"
"Is there someone in the northwest?" Lu Bu looked around after hearing this, and indeed saw the two chasing soldiers and horses. However, because the distance was not close, Lu Bu could not clearly see the face of the person calling.
But just because you can¡¯t see clearly doesn¡¯t mean Lu Bu can¡¯t tell the difference. Whether it¡¯s Zhao Yun¡¯s silver armor with a bright gun, or Zhang Fei¡¯s rough black armor, it¡¯s easy to distinguish them even in the dark.
Having recognized Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, the identity of the person between them can be revealed. Lu Bu's eyes widened and he shouted: "Is it Bo Gao? All the wolf cavalry turn around and rush over with me!"
Lu Bu's rescue was timely. If it had arrived a little later, Zhen Yao, who had lost all his strength, might have been able to lie on the ground and wait for death. But it was because of the appearance of the Wolf Cavalry that Zhen Yao, who was already exhausted, regained a lot of strength and insisted on moving forward.
When Zhen Yao and Lu Bu got close to each other, the latter looked happy and said, "You are really Bo Gao. Hurry, retreat quickly, and I will leave this place to someone!"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhen Yao nodded gratefully. After safely retreating to the rear surrounded by a group of wolf riders, his legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees. But Lu Bu in front looked at the pursuing soldiers with a fierce look: "Kill!"
The wolf cavalry led by Lu Bu can start a massacre even if they encounter cavalry, let alone some infantry. As soon as an impact passed, most of the thousands of soldiers who came out of the city to pursue Zhen Yao fell to the ground. The ones who didn't fall to the ground were the soldiers who reacted quickly and fled far away in time.
After quickly dealing with these pursuers, Lu Bu ordered to stop temporarily. After dismounting and meeting with Zhen Yao, he briefly recounted the time in the camp, and then asked: "What should we do now? Return to the camp or not?"
"First of all, please separate a small group of troops to send Yide and Zilong back to camp." Zhen Yao said without hesitation: "You and I can lead the troops into Chang'an and capture this city! "
Hearing that Zhen Yao wanted to go back by himself, Zhang Fei first hugged himFist: "Lord, the last general can still fight again!" Although Zhao Yun on the side did not speak, the arm holding the spear tightly showed his determination.
After taking the war horse that Lu Bu had given to him and others, Zhen Yao said coldly: "In that case, get on the horse and follow me to fight back!"
Not only did Dong Min not expect that Zhen Yao could lead his troops to kill him so quickly, not only did Zhen Yao himself not expect it. Therefore, when the wolves rode to the west gate, the city gate was still open, and there were many soldiers rushing out from inside.
The cavalry entered the city, and it didn¡¯t take long for the news to reach Dong Mansion, and Dong Min no longer had to doubt whether the information reported by his soldiers was ready, because the killing cries and horse trampling in the city were enough to explain everything.
After entering the city, a series of important things flashed through Zhen Yao's mind, and he said: "Zilong, you lead a team of soldiers and horses to blockade the imperial city; Yide, you lead a team of infantry to surround the Dong Mansion; Fengxian, you and I Go to the barracks and defeat the soldiers in the city first."
Zhen Yao's military order was issued, and the soldiers and horses who were marching together quickly separated at the fork in the street. Zhen Yao looked at the direction in which his two generals were leaving and no longer hesitated, and he and Lu Bu fought towards the Chang'an barracks.
The civil war in Chang'an City took a turn for the worse, and at the military camp outside the city, heavy cavalry rampaged through Cao's camp. Camp tents, guardrails, etc. were also overturned to the ground, making the entire camp appear extremely chaotic.
"Wen Qian, you retreat first, and a certain family will be cut off!" At this time, Xia Houyuan could not hold on any longer. Xu Huang alone was already defeated, and with Zhang Liao attacking from behind, Xia Houyuan, even though he had three heads and six arms, could not defend the enemy. Don't live in this camp.
"You must be careful, a talented person, and go to Chang'an first to join the lord!" Le Jin did not waste any time, greeted Xia Houyuan, picked up his horse and left. Xia Houyuan rode his horse in the direction of Le Jin's departure, holding a broadsword to firmly resist Xu Huang's offensive.
"Lord, there is a big chaos in the city, retreat immediately!" In the city, Cao Cao, who had been temporarily ignored by Zhen Yao and others, was also rushing towards the city gate under the protection of Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
Cao Cao, who originally thought that this time would be enough to kill Zhen Yao, heard Xu Chu's words, and the unwillingness and disappointment in his heart immediately dissipated. Now is not the time to be upset, the only thing to do is to escape. If you don't escape, you won't even have the chance to be upset.
And just when Cao Cao was about to rush to the east gate and leave, Zhang Fei, who had just surrounded the Dong Mansion and was preparing to help his lord fight for the city gate, appeared on the right side of the street. Seeing Cao Cao and his entourage, it can be said that enemies were extremely jealous: "Cao Cao, where else do you want to escape!"
Zhang Fei led his troops closer, Dian Wei took out a small halberd from his pocket and fired it, and said: "Zhong Kang takes the lord away, someone will stop him!"
Dian Wei's secret attack was very tricky in terms of strength and direction, but it was still manageable for Zhang Fei. His spear reached out to sweep, and he blocked the halberd. However, because of this, the war horse was stunned, but It's a slight pause.
"Dian Wei?" Zhang Fei also had dealings with Cao Cao's bodyguard general. A solemn look flashed in his eyes, he shouted loudly, bent forward with a spear in his right hand and charged forward.
Dian Wei rarely rides a horse, and he never rides a horse when fighting. He drew his halberd with both hands, dodged the collision of the horses, and at the same time blocked Zhang Fei's snake spear. Even if Wang Zhui had enough momentum, he could only make Dian Wei move back one step.
The attack launched on horseback was blocked by someone under the horse. Zhang Fei roared and raised his spear high, and then brought it down heavily. However, what Dian Wei was not afraid of most was that others would compete with him in strength. He also held halberds crossed and raised in both hands, no less powerful than Zhang Fei on horseback.
"Ha~~" The collision of a spear and a pair of halberds caused Zhang Fei to fall backwards, while Dian Wei's feet on the ground also cracked the mud and stone under his feet.
The two fierce generals fought wildly, but Cao Cao escaped from Chang'an under the protection of Xu Chu. Cao Cao was not as good as Zhen Yao. Even though he was in an alliance with Dong Min, he could still take his mount with him. Therefore, when he left the city, he was almost out of danger.
Cao Cao's departure made Zhang Fei even more stunned. Zhen Yao's life was hanging by a thread today. Everything was thanks to Dong Min and Cao Cao. Therefore, Zhang Fei's attack became even more fierce, and the snake spear was at its best at this moment.
Dian Wei's martial arts skills are not much weaker than Zhang Fei's, but the opponent is riding a war horse and has many soldiers around to help him. After just half a cup of tea, his body was already covered in wounds, blood flowed all over the floor, and even his feet began to tremble.
Dian Wei, who was seriously injured, looked directly at Zhang Fei like a bloodthirsty beast. If it were normal, Zhang Fei might not mind dismounting and fighting with him, which would be regarded as a favor for this warrior. But the matter was urgent now. Zhang Fei glanced outside the city and said, "Kill him and go out of the city to pursue Cao Cao!"
A group of soldiers rushed forward. Even though Dian Wei's double halberds stabbed two people, many swords and spears still penetrated directly into his heart and lungs. A fierce general for a lifetime, but he died in the hands of a bunch of unknown people.
Half an hour later, the civil war in Chang'an City ceased. Zhen Yao, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang?The four generals gathered in Dong Mansion and looked at the body of Dong Min who hanged himself. Zhen Yao closed his eyes and sighed: "The man is dead, just bury him!"
On the desk in the inner room, there was a piece of paper pressed by an inkstone. Zhao Yun picked it up, handed it to Zhen Yao and said, "Lord, there is a note here, which seems to have been written by Dong Min before his death."
Zhen Yao took it and read it, and it read: "Min knew that he would inevitably die, and I, the Dong family, Li Ru and Niu Fu also died." Only the young grandson Bai'er was left. I hope Bo Gao would let her live and thank her with tears in my eyes! ¡¯
Zhen Yao put the note into his sleeve, turned around and left, and said: "The chaos in Chang'an City must have disturbed the Holy Master. Zilong and Yide will go to heal their wounds first, and Fengxian can enter the palace with me to meet the Holy Master!"
As soon as he stepped out of the Dong Mansion, Zhen Yao saw his own bodyguards carrying a person walking towards him. His hurried steps suddenly stopped. The person lying down was Zhen Duan, who had fought to the death to give him a chance to escape.
The person is already dead, and it is a blessing among misfortunes to have a whole body left behind. Zhen Yao stepped forward and looked at the corpse with a slight smile, feeling the pain in his heart. After standing for a long time, Zhao Yun, who was still following behind, stepped forward and said: "My lord, people cannot be resurrected after death. General Zhen spent half his life in the army, and being able to lie on the battlefield is also the destination of generals like us."
"The body has been put away, Yao will take him back to Wuji for burial!" Zhen Yao left a word and walked towards the imperial city.
It was only three hours before I saw the emperor again. Although it was midnight, Chang'an was so noisy with weapons that even Liu Xie in the imperial city couldn't sleep.
"Your Majesty, Zhen Yao, see you." After entering the palace and meeting Liu Xie, Zhen Yao bowed and clasped his fists and said, "The traitor Dong Min has been defeated by my general and hanged himself in the palace. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry now!"
"Okay, okay, okay." I don't know if he was scared or excited, Liu Xie said "good" three times before he said: "General Zhen, please get up. I didn't expect that it was only past midnight, and the general would bring me such a surprise."
For Liu Xie, what happened tonight was indeed a surprise and a joy, but Zhen Yao had no time to argue with him, and he only came to the palace to ensure the safety of the emperor. Now that people have seen it, they immediately said: "Chang'an has been settled for the first time, and there are still important matters that need to be dealt with personally. Your Majesty will rest in the palace. I will come to the palace to accompany you another day!"
