Ships on the Wei River kept coming and going, bringing large quantities of grain, grass, and silk to the high mainland.

They could only be sent here, because there were many pontoon bridges erected on the river, and tens of thousands of troops surged across the river with overwhelming momentum.

Zhang Shuo, the general of the middle camp, was temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former army and led the first batch of Silver Spear Zhongying to cross the river.

But they were not the first to arrive.

Guerrilla general Shao Shen led the Zuo Xiao cavalry across the river from Chiyang, and then quickly went south, making a circle, and arrived at Acheng, southwest of Chang'an on August 24 - the site of the Qin Abang Palace. They built a military city, which is Chang'an.

One of the outer strongholds.

At this time, the defenders in the west of the city had just defeated a group of Huns who tried to break through, killed Liu Han, King of Hejian Liu Shu, and captured and killed more than 4,000 people.

The main force in the battle was Peng Tianhu.

He was quite proud, because the Xiongnu massacre seemed to know something, so they broke through to the west and broke through the obstruction of several miscellaneous soldiers and horses along the way.

The various tribes fought like wolves and hogs, killing more than 3,000 people.

Peng Tianhu was furious and personally led Lu Shuihu's cavalry to intercept and kill them until there was a shower of blood. Only then did he somewhat contain the enemy's ferocious offensive.

The soldiers and horses of the wealthy families from Fufeng, Anding and other counties surrounded him, shouting for Liu Shu to be captured alive.

Liu Shu rushed from left to right, unable to break the siege, and finally died of exhaustion.

More than a thousand of the remaining people were captured and detained in Acheng.

There were still more than a thousand remaining soldiers outside the Yongmen Gate in the west of the city, but they were actually taken back inside the city. When they rushed to seize the gate, they had no chance, which was very disappointing.

However, these are all trivial matters.

Peng Tianhu led thousands of cavalrymen and drove repeatedly in the west of the city, showing off their power, until they were bypassed by Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard of three thousand cavalrymen.

This group of people is very arrogant and heroic.

One person and three horses, one running empty, one carrying luggage and water, and the other riding, galloped together, filling the sky with smoke and dust, showing extraordinary power.

When they arrived outside the Zhicheng Gate in the west of Chang'an, three thousand people dismounted and then put on armor each other.

Arm armor, skirt armor, body armor, heart protector, mantle, iron helmet and other items were all taken off and put on at a dizzying speed.

Beside them, about three hundred people gathered their horses and took them to a small slope in the distance before stopping.

The whole process seemed to have been rehearsed countless times, without any mistakes, and the movements were very fast, leaving little time for the enemy.

After putting on the armor, everyone took out the bow tip and began to string the walking bow.

Some fast-moving people even took out their bows to calibrate their walking bows.

The walking bow hangs on the left side of the waist, the ring-head knife hangs on the right side, and a small buckler is tied to the forearm of the left hand. The quiver is filled with thirty arrows, and three circles of hemp rope or leather are tied to the quiver.

There is a rope, and there are all kinds of weapons stuck diagonally on the back, which makes people look at it in amazement.

Finally, when everyone took out long weapons such as spears, rifles, and axes, everyone was shocked.

Peng Tianhu stared blankly for a long time with his mouth wide open, and finally got off his horse.

If these 3,000 men were to defend the high ground, even if he had 30,000 cavalry, he would not be able to capture them in a short time, and there would be a large number of casualties.

If this group of people were followed by a few thousand light cavalry, taking advantage of their inability to attack the high ground, heavy casualties, and low morale, they would launch a counterattack as a recharged force, and the 30,000 cavalry would be routed and defeated.

From this point of view, Peng Tianhu knows how to fight, and can even be said to be somewhat proficient in tactics, which is much better than the poor performance of the He Douling tribe in Shanwu.

At least, Peng Tianhu knew that a strong attack would be defeated and had to use other methods.

"Retreat to Acheng." Not long after, the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guards, who had completed their formation, sent several rangers over and shouted.

"This..." When Peng Tianhu heard this, he was immediately unhappy and said: "Chang'an has not been conquered, how can we retreat? If we retreat now, when will we come back again?"

"Get lost!" The lower-level warriors had less nice things to say and the fouler their mouths. They didn't care what Peng Tianhu thought, they just glared at them and acted like they would fight if they disagreed.

Hearing the word "go away", Peng Tianhu was also angry, but he did not dare to scold back and just looked at the rangers coldly.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Not far away, the soldiers of the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard lined up in a neat queue and shouted in unison.

For a while, the sound of gun barrels hitting the ground continued, and murderous intent slowly gathered.

They killed the Xianbei cavalry in Guangwu and overturned their horses, and more than 2,000 of them were awarded honors in the battle. They had a sense of arrogance and murderous intent in their chests, and they did not take these bastards seriously at all.

"Retreat!" Three thousand people shouted in unison and advanced ten steps forward.

There was some commotion in the Zahu formation, especially the weak tribal chiefs who came with only a thousand or two thousand men. They cursed and led their tribesmen back hundreds of steps and stationed their horses in the distance.

"Retreat!" Three thousand people shouted again.

This time, the spears and rifles were raised forward in unison, with a strong sense of intimidation.

Most of the small chieftains led the team back a few hundred steps away, and instead of stopping, they went straight into the camp with unlucky looks on their faces.

Some of them were quick and even started to pack their luggage.

"Retreat!" The three thousand people advanced another fifty steps.

In front of Peng Tian's bodyguard, a war horse neighed, snorted uneasily, or scratched the ground with its hooves.

"Let's go!" Peng Tianhu's face turned green and he ordered to retreat.

Before leaving, he took one last look at Chang'an City.

The banner with the word "Han" was still hanging on the top of the city, and there was no change. But he always felt that something had happened, so he decided to go to Acheng to interrogate the prisoners.

Could it be that someone in the city is rebelling?

******

On the Ba River in the east of the city, the Heijin Zuoying, Huangtou Army and other troops crossed the river one after another, lined up in four long lines, and headed for Chang'an in a mighty manner.

There are three gates in the east city of Chang'an: Xuanping, Qingming, and Bacheng. The soldiers stationed here are mainly Longxi soldiers, plus a small number of Nan'an soldiers and some noble soldiers from Jingzhao County. The total is only 10,000 to 20,000, which is considered the smallest force.

Yes.

On August 21, they launched a large-scale offensive against the Huns. They fought for a whole day and suffered heavy casualties, so they each stopped.

In the evening, a mutiny broke out in the Xiongnu camp, and Liu Ce, the king of Anding, was killed. More than 3,000 remaining people rushed into the city through the opened gate, and retreated into the city with the support of General Anton Qi Guanyuan.

Liang Xun and others seemed to smell something unusual.

Chief Di, Yang Tao of Nan'an sent people into the city at night to inquire about the news. He learned that there seemed to be a short but fierce battle inside the second gate of Xuanping and Qingming. It ended soon after the troops and horses were withdrawn outside the city.

Liang Xun and Yang Tao were neither fools. They entered Hou Feihu's camp hand in hand to tell the truth. Feihu only ordered them to guard the camp and be vigilant everywhere, not to engage in wasteful fighting. There was nothing else to say.

The two of them immediately figured out the real situation, so they didn't have to worry and simply waited in the camp.

In addition to training the soldiers every day, they also intercepted and killed small groups of Huns wandering around outside the city.

It was not until today, the 24th, that Hou Feihu finally led Heijinzuoying, Xiaoqijun and a battalion of Huangtoujun towards Qingmingmen.

Liang Xun and Yang Tao immediately climbed up and looked into the distance. When they saw the mighty and orderly Shao Bing in the wilderness, they finally calmed down after initially complaining about being kept in the dark.

In this world, competition is all about whose fists are stronger.

The Heijin Left Camp was a famous and meritorious unit. They fought in the three cities of Pujing Pass at night and were extremely brave. They killed the Huns and fled in embarrassment. Then they moved north to Shangjun and surrounded the Huns' imperial army with the Xianbei cavalry. They won again.

Thousands of people are marching toward the Qingming Gate with their helmets and armours. I haven't even informed you to enter the city, so I'm asking you if you agree?

If you don't accept it, do it with him. If you do it well, maybe he will change his attitude.

If you can't do it, don't say anything, because they can directly come to your camp and kill them to death.

Among the two, Liang Xun has the calmest mentality, because he has already contacted Liang Fen, the Minister of Civil Affairs of Liang State. In terms of seniority, Liang Fen is his uncle and they are both members of his own family. There is really no need for him to fight against his enemies.

Yang Tao, who was born in Chi Di, was mixed together.

Take good care of the more than 10,000 households of soldiers and civilians in Longxi. This is the advice given to him by Uncle Cong.

In troubled times, strength is the most important thing. If you have strength, you can say anything.

Under the gaze of the two men, Hei Jin Zuoying quickly stopped.

Like magic, they transformed the column into a horizontal formation, and then the horizontal formation adjusted into a forward formation.

Two thousand brave cavalry troops followed quickly, divided into two groups, and lined up on the two wings of the black army.

There were exclamations one after another in the Liang and Yang camps.

Such ability, deftness, and proficiency cannot be achieved without repeated training. Heijin Zuoying's training is indeed very frequent, and it is completely different from those of them who have to farm and herd on weekdays.

After the Heijin Army stopped, nearly 8,000 Huangtou Army passed them directly and drove to the Qingming Gate.

Liang and Yang widened their eyes, trying to confirm their suspicions.

Sure enough, with almost no delay, the heavy iron-clad wooden door was quickly opened.

The Yellow Head Army sent five hundred people to enter the city first.

Soon, their flag appeared on the top of the city.

Another thousand people entered the city, then three thousand people, and finally the whole army entered the city.

The flags of the black army were raised again, and they once again folded their formation and formed four columns.

The heroic cavalry army also slowly gathered, with hundreds of cavalry troops in one group, following the black cavalry army, and drove into the city in batches.

Liang Xun and Yang Tao sighed inaudibly after confirming their suspicions.
