"Wenyou..." When facing Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's tone was as cordial as ever, but at this time, Li Ru sounded a touch of alienation.
This sounds contradictory, but in fact it is because of his own state of mind. At least Dong Zhuo's face has the kind of kindness that Old Taishan looks at his son-in-law. Although it is a bit difficult to express such an expression on Dong Zhuo's honor, especially when
It is even more difficult for people to accept the message.
But no matter what he was thinking, Li Ru still had to bite the bullet and continue: "Master, given the current situation, we must make a decision."
Dong Zhuo knew what he meant, but he frowned subconsciously. Li Ru thought it right, Dong Zhuo was no longer the Dong Zhuo he used to be.
It is said that he was willing to be killed and dared to bring down the emperor. But as Dong Zhuo became more and more powerful, his status also increased and his mentality also changed fundamentally. In other words, he became more timid and did not have much courage.
Go challenge something uncertain.
Dong Zhuo is undoubtedly very clear about the choice Li Ru said. Luoyang has given up. In fact, Chang'an can't stand it for much longer. Dong Zhuo does still have troops under his command, but let's not talk about the internal situation after Luoyang was captured.
The alliance of princes, which immediately became full of contradictions but was always wary of the threat from Dong Zhuo, was now facing the death of Niu Fu. Dong Zhuo fainted and was forced to retreat.
And it has been unstoppable all the way to the capital, and now it is looking at Ma Teng's army that is about to besiege Chang'an. It is not easy to get rich. Li Ru's idea is naturally to preserve the current strength first, and temporarily retreat and tolerate.
It's nothing, just to make a comeback better and faster in the future. As long as Dong Zhuo, he just can't make up his mind. Because it means that he must give up.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain something if you give up. But among all living beings in the world, how many people understand this truth? Even if they understand it, how many people can follow this truth?
Li Ru did not urge him. He knew that continuing to speak at this time would only have the opposite effect. Even though it was very uncomfortable for him to stand half-bent like this, he still persisted until finally he got Dong Zhuo's reply.
: "Let's see, at least we still have the capital and Chang'an area now, so we must first resist the city and defend it. If it can be delayed for a while, I don't believe that Luoyang City can always be peaceful like this, hum!
"
Dong Zhuo had said this, and Li Ru had nothing to say. He just sighed secretly. As soon as he came to Chang'an, he had already noticed that the atmosphere here was completely different from when he came before. But Dong Zhuo, what on earth did he do?
What do you think?
…
Outside Chang'an City, the army with the military flags engraved with the words "horse" and "han" has formed a siege. However, after the armies of both sides arrived here, they first besieged but did not attack, and then set up camp on the spot. They made a move that seemed to be to attack the city.
Preparation for this long-term battle.
In Chang'an City, Hua Xiong couldn't help but go out to meet the enemy, which could be regarded as adding fuel to the somewhat low morale when the city was under siege. Dong Zhuo agreed.
In front of the Ma-Korean coalition formation, Hua Xiong began to call for formation. Not long after, he saw a young man who was no more than twenty years old, wearing silver armor and a silver cape, and holding a silver gun in his hand. Hua Xiong thought that his outfit was not small.
But age is undoubtedly a flaw, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "A little kid can lead an army into battle. I wonder if Ma Teng and Han Sui are so scared that they are cowering in the tent and dare not come out?"
And the other party directly retorted: "A little baby is enough to make your old bones feel better. Do you think you are Lu Fengxian?"
This person was naturally Ma Chao, and he and Hua Xiong had the same idea, because a few days ago Ma Teng's army and Dong Zhuo's army were in a different offensive and defensive position, and the morale of each other was also waxing and waning. The low morale of Dong Zhuo's army was just outside the city tower.
You can notice it even if you look at the tower. If you can do something more about it, I will immediately
Chaoya would never mind, not to mention that his father Ma Teng had just called him, thinking that the siege could already begin, and destroying the enemy's morale before attacking the city would be a good opportunity, so he didn't care.
Who is this Hua Xiong? To him now, except for Lu Bu, all the other generals are just good guys.
"Hey!" Hua Xiong suddenly shouted loudly, his voice as loud as a bell. If he got close, it would shock the eardrums of people. It seemed that he was angered by Ma Chao's words and deeds just now. Instead of irritating the other party, he was provoked by the other party.
The talker was indeed a failure, but he still said formally: "I am Hua Zijian, the powerful general of the Han Dynasty, and I will take my name as general."
Ma Chao was not affected at all, he just sneered and said: "If you want to know my name, let's see if you can survive a certain silver gun in the palm of your hand!"
No matter how much you talk, strength will speak for itself, so both sides stopped talking and showed their real moves. The big sword and silver gun were summoned almost at the same time. Hua Xiong held the sword and Ma Chao held the gun. That's it.
Fighting together.
The battle was not over, but Ma Chao became more and more courageous as he fought. On the other hand, Hua Xiong frowned, and in the end he gave the opponent a flaw, and wanted to fight back, but his intention was already seen through by Ma Chao, so he used his spear to throw away his machete.
Just hit him on the chest.
Hua Xiong's stomach tumbled for a while, he suppressed the feeling of nausea, and was still a little shocked. Finally, he could only roar, as if this was the only way to discover the depression in his heart, but in fact it had no effect.
Why do he always encounter such perverts? Lu Bu was like this before, and Ma Chao is like this now. Hua Xiong originally thought that he was first-class, if not top-notch, among the generals in the world. It was naturally difficult to find such an opponent, but he didn't
Thinking about how hard it was for him to go out and kill a general and make a great contribution, he still encountered such a difficult opponent.
After fighting for a while, Hua Xiong had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment. Fortunately, Ma Chao had no intention of pursuing further. What's more, pursuit depends on the situation. I didn't see Hua Xiong coming out not far away, and there were people on the tower carrying bows and arrows at any time.
Watching there, I wasn't sure that he wouldn't rush off to provoke a hail of arrows.
Although Hua Xiong was reckless, he was not an idiot. He always risked his own life for his failure, but as a vanguard general, his defeat before the battle was a big blow to the morale of Dong Zhuo's army, even though Dong Zhuo had no intention of doing so.
I pinned all my hopes on Hua Xiong, but I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when I saw this scene on the tower.
But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and Ma Chao was so powerful that he immediately led his army to approach the city tower. After seeing that all kinds of equipment were prepared, he began to attack the city.
But as the siege battle kicked off, Dong Zhuo's army suffered a major blow at the beginning. The gate on the west side of Chang'an City was actually opened at this time, and it was opened from the inside. I thought with my toes.
You should have known that someone in the city must have acted as an internal response to the attack of Ma Teng's army outside the city. They cooperated internally and externally to take down Chang'an. Dong Zhuo was even more shocked and angry that there was such a person lurking under his nose, and he was not discovered, and allowed him to be killed.
Which should succeed.
Seeing that the young enemy general over there, who had just defeated Hua Xiong in a battle, also showed joy on his face, and then shouted at something: "Neiying is opening the city, let's charge!"
Then behind him, a group of enemy soldiers, led by him bravely, came towards the city with howls and screams. Dong Zhuo was so angry at that moment that he almost vomited blood and fainted.
Fortunately, his body was still a little weak at this time, and he was already in a very low mood. It was a good thing at this time. At least there was no such huge shock from the sky to the ground in an instant. With his mentality, he could still manage.
I could bear it, but I still couldn't help but tremble. If it weren't for the support of the personal soldiers behind me, I might have collapsed on the ground, as if all my strength had been drained away.
Even if he thought of the reason at this time, it was already too late. The city gate had been opened, and the enemy troops were about to rush in. The fall of Chang'an was irreversible. Once the benefits of the city were gone, what he originally wanted to do was
The idea of killing Ma Teng's army from this city can no longer be implemented.
