Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 158

The cannon fodder in the Xiliang army who was assigned to the first wave of siege was instantly filled with the sound of huge horns.These people were either criminals full of crimes, or strong men who were conscripted by the Xiliang Army on the spot. They were incorporated into the penal riding camp, and they were destined to only serve as cannon fodder.

However, simply arranging these people is obviously not enough.Among them, there are naturally some real Xiliang warriors.This kind of intention, on the one hand, can provide some cover for the main force who are really attacking the city, on the other hand, it also means to let these veterans lead these criminal cavalry battalions to death and consume Chang'an's defense equipment.

Wars in this era are often so cruel.The value of a recruit can be equated with a sharp arrow.

They let out a deafening cry while rushing forward.It is easy to distinguish the real veterans from the soldiers of the penal cavalry battalion, just look at the equipment on their bodies and the weapons in their hands.But in fact, these differences are still reflected in their life and death on the battlefield of 'thousands of battles, the most difficult to siege'.

After a burst of rain, more than 4000 Northwest soldiers successfully rushed to the city.On the way alone, they paid the price with the lives of [-] soldiers of the Criminal Cavalry Battalion.Their military discipline was in disarray and their morale was ruined. They had long since lost the shadow of Dong Zhuo's elite division that terrified the Kwantung Allied Forces.

However, those real veterans, relying on their proficient skills and battlefield intuition honed in the battlefield for many years, made them easily escape the attack of the arrow rain, and came to the city almost unscathed and took their positions.

Taking advantage of the difficulty for the soldiers on the city to come out and shoot arrows straight down, they raised their shields high, erected many ladders quickly and methodically, and began to climb upwards.These simple ladders are not Jia Xu's secret weapon. After all, the Northwest soldiers no longer have siege equipment, and it is still conceivable to cut down a few trees to make ladders.

The defenders on the city suddenly panicked. After ten days of attacking and defending, the opposing sides had fully understood each other. After all, the soldiers of the Guanzhong generation were not as fearless as the people in the northwest.In an instant, many people on the Chang'an city wall yelled in horror.

"Hold on, don't panic!" Xu Rong slashed to death a Northwest veteran who risked his life on the city wall, tightened the blood-stained cloth on his arm, and shouted heart-piercingly towards his robe.

However, his shouting obviously didn't have much effect.Before that, after hearing that the Xiliang army had besieged Chang'an City, the troops before him began to flee sporadically.

Of course, there is a chill in the high officials of the imperial court who regard them as worthless, but Xu Rong knows that the more important reason is that in addition to the Liaodong veterans with less than a thousand, most of the soldiers left in his trilogy , are from Liangzhou.

"Hateful Wang Yun and Lu Bu, both are these two idiots, why are they shouting to kill all Liangzhou people!"This is great, all sent reinforcements to the rebels! Xu Rong thought bitterly, he was not such an extreme person at all, but when he was on the battlefield, the paranoid and fierce temper in his bones could not help but burst out: "The city wall of the five pavilions on the left can be filled with two more Wu, tell the other side that this is the last batch of reinforcements, and there is no one left."

After a pause, Xu Rong looked at the soldier's exhausted hands. Instead of showing sympathy, he shouted loudly: "Don't look for any reason. If you have a broken finger, use your mouth; if your mouth is cracked, use your teeth. What I want is archery." , not an excuse. You are my veterans, use your actions to tell those recruits what war is like!"

"No!" The messenger stood up fiercely, but he hadn't walked for a long time, and hadn't completed his task, when he was dragged off the wall by a screaming Northwest veteran.

"Kill me!" Seeing this scene, Xu Rong's eyes turned red.But on the battlefield, he still wondered about one thing, that is, why is he the commander-in-chief of this battlefield?

With so many good generals under his command, why did Lu Bu appoint himself to replace General Huangfu and General Zhu?

Of course, these doubts could not affect Xu Rong.What distracted Xu Rong the most was, why hasn't His Majesty appeared so far? !

Thinking of the first time the two met, His Majesty had expected that he would defect at a critical moment today, Xu Rong was full of curiosity about that young man, and he had been expecting that the emperor would come up with an excellent solution , to reverse such an unfavorable situation.But why has it come to this time...

"Not good, the city is going to be broken!"

Just as Xu Rong swung his saber to kill the Northwest Army who rushed up beside him regardless of life and death, Xu Rong turned pale with fright, and was about to chop off the head of this man who shocked the army.He was stunned to see that at some time, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun in iron armor were standing behind him, and the words just now obviously came from Huangfusong's mouth.

Although Wang Yun deprived the two of them of their positions as city guard generals, they could not deprive them of their duty of guarding the city.

As a veteran general, Huangfusong naturally has the ability to accurately judge the enemy's situation.In the short moment just now, he had already seen that the Chang'an defenders had shown signs of weakness.Compared with the life-and-death struggle of the Northwest Army, these mixed groups of soldiers in Chang'an have long lost their vigor.

They have clear divisions and are separated from each other. People from Bingzhou are unwilling to help people from Liangzhou, and children from Guanzhong are unwilling to manage old soldiers.And the Northwest Army under the city has moved the canine-toothed battlefield to the city wall!

Hopeless!

The city wall has always been an important fortification of the city, and it is also a psychological barrier for the defenders to defend against the enemy.Now that the Northwest Army has seen the flaws of the defenders in Chang'an, they jumped up the city wall and broke through the gaps between the various parts. This is a great blow to the fighting spirit of the defenders. There are nine out of ten troops with poor quality It just crashed.

"Damn it, what exactly is Lu Bu doing?!" Xu Rong felt that he was going crazy at this moment, he really wanted to go to Lu Bu's side immediately, pry his head open, and see what he was thinking at this moment!
"Look! We all underestimated that Lu Bu!" Zhu Jun had never uttered such a sudden cry, prompting Huangfusong and Xu Rong to look up together.

The gate of Bacheng in Chang'an was opened!
Facing the moment when Chang'an City was at stake, Lu Bu led his eight thousand soldiers to adopt a frontal breakthrough strategy.The cone-shaped formation of the most standard cavalry confrontation severely wedged itself into the siege troops of the Northwest Army.

The conical formation is one of the eight formations. Sun Tzu once said that the conical formation is like a sword. If the front is not sharp, it cannot penetrate; if the left and right wings are not sharp, it cannot cut the enemy; if the main force is not strong, it cannot form such an formation. Mode.But as long as such an array is formed, it can be "determined", and can easily break through and split the enemy.

Undoubtedly, in this world, the person who uses this formation best is Lu Bu.

Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and charged at the tip of the cone formation. He himself was the sharpest striker.Countless Northwest troops waved their spears trying to stop him and kill him.However, with just one swing of his halberd, Lu Bu's slashing blades were cut into two by Lu Bu, and he was easily killed by the soldiers behind him.

Most of the time, the Northwest Army didn't even see Lu Bu's face clearly. They only saw a bright halberd and a gallant horse jumping like a scorching sun, and then his whole world fell into darkness.

Lu Bu waved his Fang Tian painted halberd, like a god of death holding a sickle, easily harvesting lives.No one can stop him, no one can even slow him down.

Here he came, magnificent and dazzling, with blood and wind, before him the spears and the limbs of centaurs were easily shattered and torn.

At this moment, he was like a god of war.No one can stop, no one can stop.

Deafening shouts erupted on the city wall, and Xu Rong, who was overjoyed, screamed and cursed: "Are you all stupid?! Don't just watch the fun, shoot arrows quickly, and cover General Lu!"

Bingzhou wolves ride like wind and electricity. At this moment, under the leadership of Lu Bu, they are the real force that everyone admires.Inspired by Lu Bu's supernatural power, the soldiers on the city fired arrows at random. Relying on the cover of his own arrows, Lu Bu suddenly seemed to be blown away by the wind and flattened the sand, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the attacking Northwest Army.They set fire to the ladders of the Northwest Army and hacked to death those Northwest veterans who tried to climb the wall.

The entire battle situation turned upside down at this moment, and the Chang'an defense battle seemed to usher in another victory.

Especially Lu Bu, because of his existence, there are at least 7 people in Liangzhou, and none of the tribes in Liangzhou dare to rush to defend it!

"Damn it, I lost again this time!" Guo Bang was so angry that he cursed immediately, but thinking that this wave of siege was only going to consume Chang'an's defense reserves, he couldn't help but calm down again.Turning his head to Jia Xu, who was staring at the battle line in front of him with a stern expression, he said, "Old man Jia, do you think we should take it easy?"

Jia Xu seemed a little puzzled, but after Guo Si asked this question, he suddenly showed a mysterious smile, and said lightly: "No need, just push those siege equipment up. This time, Chang'an may really fall. It's..."

"Old man Jia, are you alright? That mad dog Lu Bu is in front of you, who dares to confront him?"

"I dare!" The young general Zhang Xiu had long been eager to try, but this time, Jia Xu grabbed his jersey as soon as he spoke.

"Wait a minute, Lu Bu will be leaving soon."

"what?!"

On the Chang'an city wall, Xu Rong and Huangfusong looked at the worried Zhu Jun in a daze.Because, just now, he said exactly the same assertion as Jia Xu.
