Three Kingdoms: A marriage certificate, the father-in-law is actually Lu Bu

Chapter 112 Thousands of troops are approaching Chang'an, and the battle begins! [Seeking the first order! 】

The scenery of the Northland is full of snow.

When the snowflakes in Hanoi County fell from the sky like catkins and goose feathers, the area around Chang'an in the far northwest was already silvery white.

The bitter westerly wind kept whistling, and the ice balls brought up hit the armor of the soldiers, making rustling noises.

A tense and desolate atmosphere filled the sky above Chang'an City.

The war is about to break out.

Under the city of Chang'an.

Chuck was sitting on horseback, looking far away from Cao Hong, who was guarding Chang'an.

Chuck sat quietly on the horseback like that, letting the wind and snow wet his cheeks, and let the ice cover his armor.behind him.

Jiang Hu, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, Chang Cheng and others lined up, commanding [-] Xiliang iron cavalry, [-] Xuanjia heavy cavalry, and more than [-] infantry soldiers who surrendered from Bashang.

Fifteen thousand armored soldiers approached the city of Chang'an, causing the guards of the Cao army to feel a sense of oppression that they were almost out of breath.

"kill!"

Suddenly, Chuck's violent drinking sounded.

The voice did not fall.

All kinds of siege equipment, charging carts, and ladders were pushed by Jiang Hu, Hu Che'er, Chang Cheng, Wu San, and Xu Rong, and [-] soldiers led by five generals moved to Chang'an City, preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Chang'an City .

"Have you finally started!"

Cao Hong looked down at the charging enemy soldiers, his expression frightened.

but.

Cao Hong did not immediately ask his soldiers to greet them with bows and crossbows.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

The strong wind accompanied by flying snow will not only make the shot arrows lose their aim, but also the reverse resistance of the wind will greatly weaken the power of the arrows. In this case, Cao Hong can only bring the enemy closer before attacking.

Only in this way can the greatest effective damage be formed.

Two hundred steps, 150 steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps...

Cao Hong stared at Chuck Jun who was getting closer, and suddenly let out a loud shout from his mouth.

"Fire arrows!"

Hearing the sound, Cao Jun's soldiers, who had been waiting in full force for a long time, let go of the bowstring in their hands, and arrows broke through the flying snow and shot away.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

"..."

The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded, covering the road of Chuck's army charging like a cloud.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Accompanied by the muffled sound of arrows piercing through flesh and blood, bright red blood flowers bloomed on the snow-paved ground.

even so……

Xu Rong, Jiang Hu and others, who led many soldiers to charge, did not stop, and continued to charge forward without fear.

Only by rushing to the city of Chang'an can they have a chance of survival.

After a hundred breaths.

As the first ladder was erected on the battlements of Chang'an City...

In an instant, there were shouts of killing everywhere.

Without ordering, the soldiers who attacked the city had already climbed up the ladder and killed towards the top of the city.

Seeing this scene, Cao Hong did not panic.

"catapult!"

"Pour golden juice!"

Hearing Cao Hong's order, the generals of the Cao army stationed in various places in Chang'an City did not dare to hesitate.

Under their shouts, the soldiers of Cao Jun on the top of the city hurriedly lifted up the stones that had been prepared, and threw them at the soldiers of Chuck's army who were climbing up the ladder.

"boom!"

Immediately, the soldiers of Chuck's army, who were halfway up the ladder and in a dilemma, had no way to dodge, and directly suffered a fatal blow and fell from mid-air.

"Whoa!"

Compared with the soldiers of Chuck's army who were stoned to death, the soldiers of Chuck's army who were poured from the top with hot golden juice were miserable.

Under the extremely high temperature, the faces and hands of Chuck's soldiers were burned a lot.

Even the soldiers of Chuck's army who were supporting the ladder under the ladder were also affected, causing heavy casualties.

At the beginning of the war, Chuck's offensive was frustrated.

For this, Chuck saw it all in his eyes.

but.

There was never any emotion in his eyes.

because he knows...

In a siege battle, it is only natural that the defenders have the upper hand.

In the condescending situation, if the defenders are no match for the siege army, that would be a big joke.

The Battle of Chang'an City was a tough battle.

If he easily withdrew his troops because of such a small casualty, it would be difficult for Li Ru, who is now in Chang'an City, to persuade that person to serve him.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Chuck was ready for his soldiers to suffer huge casualties, and he was determined to show his strength to that person.

on the city head.

Cao Hong looked at the enemy soldiers who were not afraid of death, led by Xu Rong and other generals, to kill the enemy soldiers one after another towards Chang'an City, his heart sank.

How could he not understand that Chuck wanted to take down Chang'an City at all costs.

While thinking like this, Cao Hong ran around on the top of the city, shouting and ordering his soldiers to guard against the enemy.

Therefore, in the case that neither side is willing to take a step back.

The battlefield in Chang'an City became more and more tragic.

Facing the densely packed soldiers of Chuck's army under the city, the soldiers of Cao's army who were responsible for throwing stones and pouring gold juice hardly needed to aim.

Anyone who picks up stones or gold juice and pours it down can easily kill and injure a large number of soldiers of Chuck's army.

On the offensive side, facing the defense of Cao Jun's soldiers, Chuck's soldiers performed equally well.

The wounded soldiers of Chuck's army had just been carried down, and then the soldiers of Chuck's army rushed up the ladder like crazy, and continued to attack the defenders.

Cooperating with the bows and arrows shot by Chuck's Xiliang cavalry from the upper rear to suppress the city, the soldiers of Cao Jun who were the defenders also began to suffer casualties.

"kill!"

Finally, after a brutal siege and bloody battle.

A soldier of Chuck's army boarded the top of the city.

Holding a sharp knife, he killed two Cao soldiers who were trying to push away the ladder.

Before he could jump down from the battlements, countless spears pierced his heart, stabbing him to death on the spot.

But the same.

Before the soldier of Cao Jun who had stabbed his opponent to death had time to be happy, Jiang Hu, who was clinging to him, had already sent him flying with a single shot.

"Qu'a Jianghu is here!"

"Where is little Cao Hong?"

Jiang Hu shouted angrily.

Jumped down like a violent tiger, and killed towards the place where Cao Jun had the most soldiers.

No matter what.

There are too many Cao Jun soldiers on the top of the city.

With force as strong as Jiang Hu's, it is difficult to kill the enemy in front of him in a short time when facing the Chang'an garrison soldiers who are attacking him densely.

Cao Hong heard Jiang Hu's shout, but he had no intention of fighting.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Jiang Hu, but that he knew that compared to a momentary happy fight, keeping Chang'an safe and holding out until the reinforcements from his clan brother Cao Cao arrived was the top priority.

The war continues!
All the time, soldiers on both sides are falling.

Under the insistence of the two commanders, Chuck and Cao Hong, who refused to take the lead in withdrawing their troops, the battle fell into a stalemate, and a life-and-death contest began.

at that time.

In a mansion located in the east of Chang'an City, Li Ru was also playing a game with an old general in armor who looked like he was going to go to war at any time.

"Wenyou, Xiangguo is gone, Xiliang's fall is inevitable!"

"Since you have already escaped by feigning death in the previous war, why bother to get involved now!"

Old General, no, to be precise...

It should be the former general under Dong Zhuo's tent, Duan Yan, brother of Duan Ying, one of the Three Mings of Liangzhou. After staring at Li Ru for a long time, he let out a sigh, and looked at Li Ru who appeared in front of him with a complicated expression.

If it wasn't for Li Ru's sudden appearance, he should have led the troops to the top of the city at this time, fighting side by side with Cao Hong.

Instead of being restrained here by Li Ru, an old friend, like now.

Although Duan Yan could take down Cao Cao, who was handed over by Li Ru to Xu Du, as a meritorious service, but such things as selling friends for glory, with his personality, he couldn't do it anyway.

"Yes!"

"Why do you want to get involved!" Hearing Duan Yan's words, Li Ru seemed to be stating and asking himself, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Available in the next moment.

Li Ru's eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, and a sonorous and forceful voice came out of his mouth.

"Because someone told me not long ago..."

"Xiangguo is a hero!"

"He will follow the unfinished path of Xiangguo and Xiliang Erlang, and one day in the future, he will declare war on those powerful families, behead the Kanto scholar along the way, and seek justice for me and Xiliang Erlang!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ru laughed at himself, raised his head and asked Duan Yan: "Zhong Ming, do you think such a person is stupid?"

Silly?

Of course Duan Yao doesn't think so.

How can anyone be a fool who can make Li Ru, who is an outstanding person in Xiliang, risk his life to come out to work again.

"Ugh!"

Duan Yan let out a long sigh.

He untied the long sword from his waist and sat back in front of Li Ru, "Wenyou, you understand... If the Xiliang Army fails again this time, there will really be no place to die."

"So, are you sure you want to follow the man outside the city all the way to Hei?"

"If the choice is wrong this time, no one can save us."

As the brother of Duan Ying, one of the Three Mings of Xiliang, Duan Yan naturally understands the conflict between the Kansai generals group and the Kanto scholar group.

If not, why did he choose to be a general under Dong Zhuo's tent at the beginning?

pity.

Dong Zhuo failed.

While living up to everyone's expectations, it also caused the Xiliang Army to collapse and be cast aside by the people of the world.

Dong Zhuo had failed before, this time facing Li Ru who suddenly appeared, Duan Yan couldn't help but treat him carelessly.

Because not only the Xiliang army can't afford to lose.

The Duan Clan of Liangzhou will also decide whether to go down completely or to return to glory because of his next thought.

and so.

In front of Li Ru, he asked Li Ru the above words with a solemn expression.

Li Ru laughed straight after hearing Duan Yan's question.

He asked Duan Yao back.

"Zhongming, do you think this is the choice of Ru alone?"

"Ha ha!"

"This is not only the choice of Ru, but also the choice of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yanjin, Xu Rong, Xu Zidu, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. Now they have all served under the lord's command, and now you are the only one left, Duan Yan and Duan Zhongming!"

Zhang Xiu, Xu Rong, Jia Xu!

Hearing Li Rudao's name, a wry smile appeared on Duan Yan's face.

He didn't think so.

Even Jia Xu, a wise man in the Xiliang army, made a choice like Li Ru.

Could it be that he was wrong?

How charming was the man who attacked the city outside the city, and he subdued the rebellious Xiliang army silently, and Duan Yan couldn't help being curious about Chuck.

Under Li Ru's gaze, Duan Yan didn't make a decision immediately, but looked out at the gloomy sky and said, "Li Ru, it's almost noon now, if the attack of the man outside the city still hasn't stopped at night..."

"So, as you wish, all the Xiliang soldiers under your command will capture and kill Cao Hong and welcome him into the city!"

"If that person..."

Duan Yan's words were not finished before Li Ru intercepted him.

"If Ru's lord chooses Ming Jin to retreat before nightfall, you, Duan Zhongming, can tie you up and ask Cao Hong for credit."

Seeing the decisive look on Li Ru's face, Duan Yao opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"In that case, let's take a bet between you and me!"

"See if the person outside the city you value is worthy of your entrustment to Li Ru!"

……

outside the city.

Chuck, who was sitting behind the town, looked at Chang'an City, which was fighting endlessly...

Suddenly, a crisp electronic prompt sounded in his ears.

[Ding, it was detected that Li Ru, a strategist under the host's command, was in a game with Duan Yan, a famous Xiliang general, and the system automatically triggered the god-level option. 】

[Option [-]: Immediately call for gold and withdraw troops, and then attack Chang'an City another day.Choose to reward three thousand Mongolian cavalry. 】

[Option [-]: Fight to the death endlessly, and never withdraw troops regardless of the outcome.Choose to reward three thousand Sui Xiaoguo troops. 】

Troop rewards?

The number is not ten thousand but three thousand?

The system's prompt sound surprised Chuck's face.

However, when he thought about the reward given to him for the first choice he made after the system appeared, he felt relieved.

After all, first times are often precious.

Compared with the first choice at the beginning, this choice is several times, and it seems that the system's reward has become "lighter", which is not worth making a fuss about.

"System, I choose two!" Chuck did not hesitate.

No matter how powerful the Mongolian iron cavalry is, it's just foreign cavalry.

Compared with the Mongolian iron cavalry, the Xiaoguo army, which is dominated by Han people, gave Chuck a stronger sense of belonging.

at least.

He didn't respond to it when he used it.

Call him racist or extremist.

But in the era of the end of Han Dynasty, he didn't want to use foreign cavalry to win the world.

Not only him, but even other people, if they want to use the power of foreign races to compete in the world, he doesn't mind leading troops to attack them.

……

night time.

Inside the mansion in the east of Chang'an City.

Duan Yanwen heard the sound of fighting still resounding outside the city, he couldn't help but wryly laughed.

"Wenyou, you have won!"

"At least!"

"He didn't live up to your expectations this time, and I hope he won't in the future!"

Duan Yan is not a person who cannot afford to lose.

After saying this to Li Ru, he picked up the long sword on the ground and walked outside.

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation tonight!"

But halfway through, Duan Yan suddenly turned around and "sweared" at Li Ru: "Li Wenyou, you and Dong Zhongying are bastards!"

"What did the Xiliang army owe you in the previous life, to be tossed about by you and your son-in-law?"

After scolding, Duan Yan didn't give Li Ru a chance to speak, and disappeared from Li Ru's sight.

After a while, Li Ru came back to his senses.

He burst out laughing.

Laughing more happily than ever before, and laughing extremely wildly.

"Duan Zhongming, it's not that the Xiliang army owes me to wait for Weng-in-law, but the world owes me to wait for Xiliang!"

"Dou Xian made great efforts. If I hadn't waited for Xiliang Erlang to fight Jiluo Mountain to death, why would the Northern Huns have been wiped out in one battle!"

"For decades in the war against the Qiang, if I hadn't waited for the children of Xiliang to lay down their lives in the northwest of the Han Dynasty..."

"Because of the stupidity of the two emperors, Huan and Ling, the Qiang people had already been killed to the city of Luoyang, repeating the old story of the Huns in the early Han Dynasty."

"But what have I, Xiliang Erlang, got after giving all this!"

"Dou Xian Fenghou committed suicide, and Duan Ying died of drinking poison in prison. All the benefits, fame and wealth were taken away by the group of "Kandong gentlemen" in the court, and I waited for Xiliang, and I was still a group of Kansai people in their mouths. .”

"Oh! In this world..."

"Is there really any fairness?"

At the end of the laugh, tears welled up in Li Ru's eyes, but his eyes were firmer than ever before.

in the dark.

Duan Yan, who was leaving, vaguely heard Li Ru's arrogant voice.

Thinking of the fate of his elder brother Duan Ying, Duan Yan didn't have any hesitation in his heart.
