: The Ding Decisive Guanzhong

“Crunch~~”

Under the dark night sky, a strange sound suddenly sounded outside the city.

"There is a voice!" A soldier on the enemy's building suddenly raised his ears and asked his companions around him, "It seems that there is a voice outside the city."

"Hmm?" Another soldier also raised his ears and listened for a moment, and said in a terrifying manner, "It seems that there is really a sound."

"What's the sound?"

"Twist a torch outside the city to watch."

Although the two poor soldiers had heard that there might be an enemy attack in the past two days, they did not associate the strange sound with the enemy's siege. A soldier turned around and pulled out a burning mutton fat torch from the enemy's building, shook his arms and threw it hard outside the city.

"Huh~~"

The torch appeared in the air with a bright trajectory, rolling and falling, throwing it out of the city, and throwing it out for less than twenty steps. The torch suddenly hit a "wall". With a muffled sound, the burning torch suddenly burst into pieces, turning into Mars splashing all over the sky, illuminating the scene within ten steps.

The two soldiers immediately widened their eyes in surprise.

"What~~What the hell?"

"Did you see Lao Niu? It seems to be moving!"

"You go and call the warning, I will report to Lord Du, hurry!"

"Swish~~"

Before the two soldiers could turn around and leave, two cold wolf-toothed arrows had already rushed into the air and shot through the throats of the two men's throats. The poor soldier fell down straight before he could even scream, turning into two cold corpses. The next moment, the "crunching" sound outside the city suddenly became even more intense.

Dub and the rest of the soldiers were awakened from their sleep by the violent sounds. They ran to the battlements in a sleepy way to see what happened. They were greeted by a cold sabre! Dozens of fully armed Wuhuan cavalry had already rushed up the city wall along the siege ladder. In less than a moment, Dub and dozens of soldiers were killed.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the suspension cable of the suspension bridge had been cut off, and the heavy suspension bridge had already been heavily mounted on the bridge pier on the other side of the moat. The next moment, the closed city gate also opened, and the gate of Chang'an City had been completely opened. Under the flames, Gao Shun led the long sword in his hand forward, and the Wuhuan cavalry who were waiting for the battle rushed into the city gate like a tide.

Zhang Xiu, who had not yet woken up from his sleep, was woken up from his sleep by the captain of his own soldiers. He suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the window. He was shocked and shouted sternly, "What's the sound?"

"General, the bandits have entered the city!"

"What!?" Zhang Xiu jumped up in shock and said with a gaze, "The bandits have entered~~~ Enter the city?"

"Yes."

"This is impossible." Zhang Xiu shouted, "Chang'an city is solid, and the bandits and light cavalry are moving forward without any supplies and equipment to carry the siege with the army. How did they attack the city? Could it be that they would fly into the city from the sky?"

"The villain doesn't know, the north gate has been broken anyway." The captain of the personal soldiers said anxiously, "The traces of the thieves' cavalry were also found outside the east gate and the west gate. There was no movement outside the south gate. The general quickly summoned the army to break through the south gate. If the bandits were too late, it would be too late."

Zhang Xiu looked at the fire that soared into the sky in the north and was stunned, then shouted in a hurry: "Hurry up, change my clothes and wear clothes for me. Uh, find a set of armor for my personal soldiers, and then find a thin horse to come over~~"

"Ah?" said the captain of the personal soldiers, "Personal soldiers, thin horses? What is the general doing?"

Zhang Xiu scolded: "You know nothing, why don't you go quickly."

"Uh~~ obey the order."

"return."

The captain of the personal soldiers did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly took the order. However, before he could go out, he was yelled back by Zhang Xiu, so he had to say to Zhang Xiu with a sad face: "What are the commands that the general has?"

Zhang Xiu whispered: "From the personal soldiers, find out who is comparable to the general, put on the armor of this general, and ride on the general's war horse to lead the way in front."

The captain of the personal soldiers lit up and said, "The villain understands, the general wants a golden cicada~~"

Zhang Xiu shouted, "You can't go quickly!"

"Affect the order."

Meixian.

Under the dark night sky, the originally flat ground suddenly cracked, revealing a dark hole. Dozens of cavalry emerged silently from the ground. Not far away, ant-like cavalry emerged from more tunnels and began to form a formation under the shouting and guidance of the officers.

On the periphery of the army's assembly area, hundreds of Wuhuan wolf cavalry were divided into ten teams and were wandering around the plains. Any suspicious person near the assembly area, whether soldiers or innocent people, was shot and killed! This was Jia Xu's strict order. As the saying goes, those who accomplish great things do not care about the trivial matters. In order to achieve the suddenness of the surprise attack, Jia Xu didn't care about the lives of a small number of innocent people at all.

Time is passing quietly.

Fang Yue rode his horse to Jia Xu and said in a deep voice: "Military advisors, brothers are all ready."

"Um."

Jia Xu nodded slightly, looked up leisurely at the vast night ahead. His deep eyes seemed to have crossed the dark void and saw Xu Rong's camp. This would be a decisive battle! As long as Xu Rong's army was destroyed, there would be no more worthy army west of Tongguan! If the lord can occupy Guanzhong and sit for thousands of miles, he will be expected to have hegemony!

Suddenly, Jia Xu withdrew his deep gaze and said to Fang Yue: "General Fang Yue, attack!"

"Affect the order."

Fang Yue clasped his fists with his hands and agreed.

Xu Rong's camp, the central army's tent.

When Xu Rongzheng discussed with Zhong Yao, Yang Qiu, and Cheng Yin, the generals of Cheng Yin, how to transfer the people around Chang'an, suddenly a small school entered the tent quickly and said loudly: "General, the siege sent out has returned to the camp."

"Oh?" Xu Rong said calmly, "Have you ever spied on something unusual?"

"No abnormal situation was found." The school said this and continued, "but the detective who was sent to Dongxiao, Meixian, to spy on the news, has not returned yet."

"Mixian Dongxiao?" Xu Rong frowned, "Mixian Dongxiao is closest to Daying. It is logical that it should be the first to return. Why have the rest of the other horses returned? Only Dongxiao has not returned yet?"

The school shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know."

Xu Rong frowned and pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Send more horses to explore again."

"Affect the order."

"Kill and kill ~~"

The school agreed and was about to turn around and leave, but the sound of killing suddenly rose outside the camp.

Xu Rong's face changed, and he suddenly turned around and looked out of the tent door, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin generals ate and said, "It seems like a shout of killing. Could it be an enemy attack?"

"Report~~" As soon as Cheng Yin finished speaking, a personal soldier quickly entered the tent and shouted in panic, "General, something is wrong!"

"What a panic!" Xu Rong's face darkened and he shouted, "As long as I have this general here, the sky will not fall! Let's talk slowly, what happened outside the camp?"

"Huhh~~" the personal soldiers gasped for a while and said, "There were a large number of enemy cavalry outside the camp. Our army was caught off guard and had no time to organize defense (the vast majority of Xu Rong's soldiers had fallen asleep), and the periphery of the camp had been broken by enemy cavalry."

As the personal soldiers finished speaking, Xu Rong could still try his best to remain calm, but Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin and others jumped up in shock.

"ah!"

"What?"

"The enemy cavalry has broken through the periphery of the camp?"

"Isn't it true that the horse's revelation is nothing different? Where did these damn enemies emerge? Can they emerge from the ground?"

"Shut up to me!" Xu Rong shouted loudly, stopped Yang Qiu and other generals' noise, and said to his personal soldiers, "How many cavalry do the enemy have?"

Compared with Zhang panic among Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin, Xu Rong seemed extremely calm.

Xu Rong is worthy of being a leader in all battles. The more critical the moment, the more he can keep a calm mind. A clear mind makes Xu Rong hit the nail on the head of the problem.

Before we figure out how many troops the enemy has, any decision is hasty and dangerous! If the enemy only has a small number of cavalry, it is just a harassment war, and we can arrange counterattacks calmly. If it is a large number of cavalry that is enough to destroy one's own army, we can only cut off our armies and protect the elite cavalry in the inner camp at the cost of sacrificing the army outside the camp.

Xu Rong died in the outer camp and chose to break through, of course not afraid of death!

Xu Rong had no choice but to stay here and fight to the death with the butcher Ma! The lord transferred almost all the troops that could be mobilized to Luoyang. There were very few troops left behind Chang'an Sanfu and Liangzhou. The elite soldiers in Xu Rong's hands can be said to be the only elite troops in Guanzhong.

If this elite team fights all here, what else can you rely on to defend Guanzhong?

In any case, Xu Rong must bring the only remaining Liangzhou elite out of the siege. As long as this elite force is still there, the situation in Guanzhong will still be possible. It is still unknown who will win! As long as you survive this difficult time, wait until the lord repels the 18th Guandong coalition forces and leads the army back to rescue, killing the horse butcher is just a slaughter.

The personal soldier gasped and said, "Is it not clear whether it is specific, but there are tens of thousands of cavalrymen!"

"Ten Thousand Cavalry!?"

As calm as Xu Rong, his eyes shrank. This was enough to destroy his army! The military situation was urgent, and there was no time to be upset and regretful, and there was no time to hesitate. Xu Rong made a quick decision: "I ordered the battalions on the periphery to defend the death on the spot. Without this general's military order, no one is allowed to take a step back without authorization!"

"Affect the order."

The personal soldiers agreed and took the order and left.

Xu Rong said again: "Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Houxuan, Zhang Heng."

The five generals took a step forward, lined up in front of Xu Rong, clasped their fists and said quickly: "The last one is here."

Xu Rong's eyes flashed and he said word by word: "Immediately click on the elite cavalry of our unit and follow the general to the east~~break the encirclement!"

"Ah, break through?"

"To the east, didn't the enemy cavalry come from the east?"

"Yes, you should go west if you want to break through."

After all, General Yang Qiuwu was not a regular soldier. The bandit aura he developed when he was a horse thief in Liangzhou was difficult to completely change. At this time, he saw Xu Rong ordering to break eastward, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

"Military orders are like a mountain." Xu Rong did not explain at all, and said coldly, "Implement it immediately."

"Affect the order."

Yang Qiuwu general clasped his fists and took the order and left.

Jia Xu appeared on a small earth slope not far from Xu Rong's camp under the escort of Fang Yue and dozens of small schools, messengers, personal soldiers, etc. Standing on the small earth slope, looking down, Xu Rong's camp had become a burning sea of ​​fire. The more than 10,000 cavalry of Ma Yue's army were divided into dozens of triangular rushing formations, crushing back and forth in the sea of ​​fire, attacking, and dividing the panic and running around Liangzhou soldiers, beheading, then dividing, and then beheading.

The periphery of Xu Rong's camp was completely in chaos, but the war had not yet affected the inner camp. The camp led by more than 20,000 troops was more than ten miles in a radius. It would take some time for the Wuhuan cavalry to break into the inner camp. It was this time that won Xu Rong's army in the inner camp a precious respite.
