It's night.

Just after evening, Xu Rong ordered the troops to bury the pot and cook rice.

After eating, with the last light of the sky, 30,000 troops embarked on a journey and rushed towards the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.

When we reached Bashui, the sky was completely dark.

The cold moon shines lightly, reflecting the light of the Lingling waves on the Bashui River.

Through the famous Ba Bridge, Chang'an City is already far away.

Compared with the famous Tang Chang'an City in later generations, Chang'an City in the Western Han Dynasty was much inferior. The city siege was only 251 oo meters, and the area was less than one-third of the former.

The most exaggerated thing is that after several generations of emperors, Chang'an City has been built with Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Mingguang Palace, Gui Palace and Bei Palace. The total palaces reach 3/4 of the city area.

There are very few civilian residences.

In addition, when the Eastern Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, Chang'an City gradually became deserted. The palaces had not been built for a long time and were mostly dilapidated. No wonder Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an in history and had to build a villa in the country of Mei.

There are three gates in the east city wall of Chang'an, namely Bacheng Gate, Qingming Gate, and Xuanping Gate.

The Bacheng Gate leads directly to the Weiyang Palace, and nearby is the canal dug from Bashui, which runs from east to west through the entire Chang'an City, which is also the only source of water in the city.

Qingming Gate leads to Mingguang Palace.

Only Xuanping Gate leads to the civilian area, which is also the area that Dong Min and others truly occupy.

Very shabby.

No wonder the Guandong family looked down on the barren land of Guanzhong. If Chang'an City is like this, you can imagine how large the other cities in Yong and Liangzhou would be.

Most of them only build one earthen wall, so they will be fine.

The location agreed by Xu Rong and Duan Wei is Xuanping Gate, the northernmost part of Dongcheng District. There are three door holes, each of which is 8 meters wide and can accommodate 12 vehicles in parallel.

After all, it was the capital city that was once, and at least the gate was quite magnificent.

There is also a moat outside.

When all 30,000 troops passed through the Ba Bridge and assembled two thousand meters outside Xuanping Gate, Xu Rong immediately asked someone to light a torch and danced regularly according to the previously agreed signal.

When it slighted, a torch lighted up on the top of the city, shaking and responding.

Xu Rong was delighted.

Soon, Xuanpingmen Suspension Bridge was slowly lowered.

"Crazy~~~"

The sound of the city gate opening seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night.

"kill!"

Xu Rong was overjoyed, rode the Xiliang horse and personally led his troops to fight towards the city gate. He wanted to command the troops to enter the city as quickly as possible, surrounding Dong Min's mansion, barracks and other key locations.

Also, you should join the simmer as soon as possible.

The vast army turned from quiet and rushed up quickly, stepped on the suspension bridge and crossed the moat and rushed into the city.

The night was completely torn apart...

The people of Chang'an who lived near the city gate faintly heard the noise coming from the city gate, and the crisp sound of horse hooves knocking on the bluestone slabs, so scared that they hid their heads in the quilt.

I don't have the courage to check what was born.

Although there are three city gates, it will take a long time for the 30,000 troops to enter the city.

In the city, Xu Rong had successfully joined Duan Wei, and was about to lead his troops to surround Dong Min's mansion under Duan Wei's leadership and control Dong Min first.

At this moment, the mutated sentiment.

"kill!!!"

The noise comes from Mingguang Palace on the south side of the street, the long-abandoned palace.

I saw that the old palace gate suddenly opened from inside, and rows of soldiers in full armor rushed out with swords and guns, and soon the array was completed on both sides.

Immediately, Dong Min, holding a big sword, walked out surrounded by soldiers, with murderous intent on his face.

"You cheat me!"

Xu Rong was shocked, and the short knife in his hand had already been placed on Duan Wei's neck.

"I...I don't know what's going on." Duan Wei panicked and his face turned pale.

"Tie him!"

Xu Rong frowned and had no intention of paying attention to Duan Wei.

In the opposite palace, Dong Min's army was still gushing out like a tide. Except for the three thousand soldiers under Duan Wei's command, the remaining army was hidden in the palace, waiting to give the enemy a fatal blow.

"Xu Rong, tonight is your death!" Dong Min grinned.

"snort!"

Xu Rong was still shocked. While organizing troops who had entered the city to form formation to defend, he ordered the subsequent troops to stop entering the city and form formation outside the city.

Prepare to pick up the front army.

In Xu Rong's opinion, whether it was Duan Wei's fraud or Dong Min who saw through Duan Wei's plan, Dong Min was a little anxious.

If all his troops arrive in the city, the attack effect will be much better.

Now, the city gate is still under the control of Xu Rong's troops.

This allows you to attack and retreat.

Xu Rong is worthy of being an experienced general. Faced with sudden changes, he quickly adjusted his military deployment. Faced with Dong Min's army that had already rushed up, he was even more airtight.

The troops of both sides started fighting on the narrow streets.

The blood stained the bluestone slabs red, and the sleeping Chang'an City had already awakened in advance. All the people around him were awake, and they were all terrified.

I don't know what happened yet.

Seeing Xu Rong responding properly, Dong Min just sneered. Xu Rong still didn't know what kind of disaster he was about to face.

What a desperate situation.

Dong Min calmly adjusted the troops' battle formation, and must block any direction of Xu Rong's army's breakthrough, and compress the latter's activity space near the city gate.

At the same time, Dong Min ordered the archers to climb up the roofs on both sides of the street and condescendingly, posing a fatal threat to Xu Rong's troops who were trapped in a corner of the city gate.

The casualties of Xu Rong's troops, which had no dangers, began to expand.

Xu Rong soon realized this problem. He fought in the city and the enemy was in a position of advantage of time and place, so he ordered the central army to begin retreating.

I have already planned to completely withdraw from Chang'an City and make another decision.

Originally, Xu Rong wanted to defend Xuanping Gate to the death. No matter what, it was not easy to occupy the city gate, and avoided a very expensive siege battle.

Now it seems, it's not possible.

Xu Rong knows how to make choices and flexibly adjusts response measures according to changes in the battlefield.

But just as Xu Rong gave orders, a bigger change finally came. In the hazy night, Ma Teng led an army of 50,000, and suddenly appeared in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City like a divine weapon descending from the sky.

"kill!"

With Ma Teng's order, his subordinate Cheng Yin led 10,000 Xiliang cavalry and took the lead and rushed towards Xu Rong's army, who had just formed a formation.

The collective charge of the cavalry made the earth shake.

Ma Teng's face was cold, and he rode his war horse to command the other troops, either charging, detour, or encircling, and slowly trapping Xu Rong's troops.

It is necessary to unite with Dong Min's army in the city to annihilate Xu Rong's troops in one fell swoop.

"Chang'an, I'm here." Ma Teng's blood was boiling.

…………

Inside the city.

When Xu Rong learned that Ma Teng led his troops to attack, his calm face finally showed a hint of panic.

Being trapped!

Xu Rong felt bitter in his heart and knew that he could no longer be good.

"General, what should I do now?" Deputy General Xue Kui became even more panicked. He was born in the Yellow Turbans and had previously served as Chief of Qu in the Liaodong Army. When the City Guards were reorganized, they were arranged to serve under Xu Rong.

"There is no choice but to stand firm and wait for support." Xu Rong's face was cold.

Xu Rong was not the main general without a view of the overall situation. As far as he knew, not only Zhang Ji's tribe was stationed in Xinfeng County, but Zhang Liao's tribe was also on the way north.

He could only take one bet, and he could come to rescue the siege in time.

"General, do you want to send someone to ask for help?" Xue Kui asked.

"Sect, send now. Remember to send a few more troops and break out while the enemy has not completed the encirclement." Xu Rong naturally would not sit still and wait for death.

"No!" Xue Kui quickly went down to make arrangements.

Xu Rong alone is too busy to be busy with this situation at the moment.

Fortunately, in addition to the former Liaodong Army's former generals, there are many Lu Zhi's previous disciples in the army, who are all first-class generals who can conquer and fight well.

Therefore, in the face of wave after wave of changes, the 30,000 city guards could barely deal with it.

At least there was no major defeat.

This is already amazing.
