"Premier Yang, as the saying goes: Ci is not in charge of the army. In order to defend Tongguan, he is safe and sound. What's the big deal if he loses some soldiers who are irrelevant?" Xu Rong said indifferently.
Xu Rong's statement was exactly what Yang Tan tasted. However, Yang Tan was a cautious person and still said stubbornly: "General Xu, even though he said that, the soldiers lost too much, and we are with Youzhou soldiers.
The ratio is even more disparity. In this way, how can Tongguan be safe and sound?"
"Premier Yang, you are too persistent. Let me ask you, you are deploying defenses according to the city, how many soldiers can you accommodate at the head of Tongguan?"
"If you want to be careful, you can tolerate it."
"Come on. Since there are only tens of thousands of people above the head of Tongguan city, you now have 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan. This time I have also brought 100,000 reinforcements. This extra soldiers
What is the use of keeping horses? Even if it is to maintain sufficient physical strength and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, leave more troops to replace them. For each group of soldiers defending the city, and leave 10,000 soldiers, it is already rich.
Is this the other soldiers who are not just consuming military rations. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them take a try and consume Youzhou's military horses even more, so that our Tongguan city walls will be foolproof."
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! General Yang is indeed a veteran on the battlefield, and he can see it thoroughly. The battle between the two armies is just a battle to lose both sides. As long as we can increase the loss of Liu Ming, he will not be worth the loss.
Naturally, we will retreat. In this way, we should be worry-free in Tongguan." Xu Rong's words were really in line with Yang Tan's thoughts. Yang Tan couldn't help but praise him.
The two of them spoke in an opportunistic manner, so they ate the wine even more enjoyable. When the two of them left, it was already late at night.
After arriving around, Xu Rong asked Yang Tan to come and inspect and accept the reinforcements he brought. At the same time, he took the initiative to send 10,000 of his personal soldiers to defend the city outside Tongguan City.
Perhaps Xu Rong's move was beyond Youzhou's expectations, and Youzhou was discussing countermeasures, but it was rare that he did not send troops to attack Tongguan.
Yang Tan happily came to Xu Rong's military camp. He saw that Xu Rong's military camp was very strict, shaped like plum blossoms, with tight barriers. The soldiers guarding the camp were all out of their sheath and were full of energy. They were not at all because of the military camp.
After lying in Tongguan City and staying away from the battlefield, it becomes a little relaxed. It can be seen that Xu Rong is really good at managing the army.
Yang Tan was even more happy to see this. After the notice, Xu Rong came out to welcome Yang Tan in person.
But after Yang Tan entered Xu Rong's camp, he had not yet entered Xu Rong's central army tent. Suddenly, Xu Rong suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Come on, take this dog thief down."
Before Yang Tan could react, Xu Rong was showing his power at whom. There were soldiers on both sides who came to tie Yang Tan up with a hook and lasso. At this time, Yang Tan realized that Xu Rong was actually plotting against him. But even
At this moment, Yang Tan was still very calm and asked, "General Yang, what do you mean? Did you follow General Dong's orders or have other instructions? If you treat me like this, you are not afraid that Military Advisor Li will settle the score with you.
Is it?"
Xu Rong said disdainfully: "Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, can they still settle the score with me? They acted against each other and all the people were resentful. They were cruel and unvirtuous, and the people could not survive. Sooner or later, God will punish them! Now, Liu Taiwei Shun
The destiny of heaven meets the wishes of the people. I will eliminate evil on behalf of heaven. I have now abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. Dong Zhuo, what can Li Ru withstand me? If you know the number of days, surrender quickly and order the soldiers to surrender. I will do this in front of the Taiwei.
If you plead with mercy, you may be able to save your life. With your talents, you may be able to continue to be a high-ranking official and enjoy wealth."
It turns out that Xu Rong was the inner responder in Liu Ming’s Xiliang’s plan. At this time, his actions went smoothly and he suddenly attacked.
"Hehe. It turns out that you surrendered to Liu Ming. God is so will, it's not considered that I'm letting down the military advisor." Yang Tan smiled bitterly, feeling much more relieved. As long as it was not sent by Dong Zhuo, Li Ru's life will not be safe.
What problems will be.
Then, Yang Tan said to Xu Rong very peacefully: "Since I became an official, I have long predicted the disaster today. However, people live between heaven and earth, those who have great righteousness and those who have great power and all people. Although I am not as good as those who have good fortune.
But I can't let go of my trust and kindness. I don't care what Dong Zhuo is like. Military Secretary Li is not bad to me. If you want me to surrender, you must not. Don't ramble here. Give me one
It's good to be happy, that's it."
Xu Rong was stunned when facing Yang Tande calm and admired his belief. So he stopped talking and ordered someone to kill Yang Tande's head, fulfilling Yang Tande's wish.
Afterwards, Xu Rong ordered people to use Yang Tan's token to dispatch a group of guards from Tongguan to the military camp to discuss matters, and at the same time sent 20,000 soldiers to take over the city defense of Tongguan.
The other guards in Tongguan had long been suppressed by Yang Tan. They never dared to question or doubt Yang Tande's orders. When they saw Yang Tande's token, they all came to Xu Rong's military camp obediently.
Xu Rong's 20,000 soldiers successfully took over the city defense in Tongguan.
This is a good thing. When the guards of Tongguan arrived at Xu Rong's camp, they were naturally taken down without saying a word. The soldiers who took over the defense of Tongguan City were also the ten thousand personal soldiers outside Tongguan City.
A signal was sent and the city gate was opened.
Liu Ming's army entered Tongguan. The rest of the soldiers in Tongguan had not yet understood the taste in the barracks and were surrounded by Liu Ming's army. In addition, the officials in charge were arrested by Xu Rong.
.The nearly 200,000 soldiers had no choice but to surrender in the face of the invincible Youzhou army.
While Liu Ming offered an offer to Anmin, he met Xu Rong while praising Xu Rong for his righteousness, and directly took 10,000 taels of gold from Tongguan's materials and rewarded Xu Rong. He also appointed Xu Rong as General Anxi and enjoyed the salary of a second-rank general.
Xu Rong was very happy and thanked him.
At this time, Guan Yu was really convinced by Liu Ming and Guo Jia’s improvement plan.
However, Guan Yu couldn't help but ask Guo Jia when there was no one, "Fengxiao, why did you think of convincing Xu Rong? Moreover, Xu Rong followed Dong Zhuo for so many years, how could he be convinced by us?
Yes, why do you dare to guarantee that Li Ru will send Xu Rong to send?”
At this time, Guo Jia was still feeling sorry for Yang Tan's death. Therefore, he ignored Guan Yu for the time being.
Although Yang Tan regarded human life as a mustard, his loyalty and his ability to defend the city were quite appreciated by Guo Jia. Moreover, after Guo Jia entered the city, he found that there were many listeners buried near the city wall. As expected, the attack was against each other.
The third method of siege of the city troops is prevented. I appreciate Yang Tan even more.
Seeing that Guo Jia didn't say anything, Guan Yu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, "Wangxiao, why are you listless? Do you want me to help you to cheer up your spirits? Just help you stabilize your strength and respect your brother." Guan Yu said while
Looking at Guo Jia with malicious intentions.
Guo Jiagang was educated by Guan Yu for a short time. When he woke up, he quickly answered honestly: "Second brother, look at what you said. What are your problems? How dare you not tell you? I don't feel for that Yang Tan.
Unfortunately, I didn't hear it clearly for a while. What did you say just now?"
"Hmph! That kind of person has more to die than to die. What a pity?" Although Guan Yu had also heard Xu Rong's story of Yang Tan's begging for death. Guan Yu, who was as cute as a soldier, hated Yang Tan's style of disregarding his own soldiers' lives. However,
After Guan Yu finished scolding, he still talked about his previous question aside.
Guo Jia laughed and said, "Second brother, you have been guarding Bingzhou in the past few years. Since the first female secretary-general of Youzhou, Mr. Huang, has offered ten strategies, looking for internal support in the various princes, has long been our priority.
After work, Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, and his subordinates are mostly despicable. This is our best goal. Xu Rong has been with Dong Zhuo for a long time and has made countless contributions, but he has always been because he is not Dong Zhuoxi
The direct line of Liang's army has been suppressed and excluded, so this is naturally our first choice. Xu Rong has received so much unfair treatment and our lord is so kind and righteous, so this matter will naturally be done in one fell swoop. As for our attack
There is no doubt that Li Ru will send Xu Rong here. When we attack Tongguan, Li Ru will definitely not be able to get out of here in order to mobilize troops and arrange other trivial matters. And Li Ju, the four generals who were the first to revive Dong Zhuo, were the four generals.
Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and his son-in-law Niu Fu, except for Li Jue and Guo Si, have all died. Li Jue and Guo Si want to guard Wuwei and Tianshui in Xiliang. This Li Ru is not in charge of the sect.
Xu Rong came here, who could he send? What's more, even if Li Ru really didn't send Xu Rong to here, it didn't matter much. Our inner supporters in Liangzhou are not the only ones. Li Ru will still send people no matter where he transfers people.
For us, although our other people are not as good as Xu Rong's status, it is still no problem to work inside and outside at critical moments and open the city gate. It's just that it won't be as easy as it is now."
Guan Yu suddenly realized.
He worked hard all day and night after giving up the list to help the people, gathered prisoners, took over supplies, etc. until the next day, which was a bit quicker.
Although the breakthrough of Tongguan this time made a huge gain, not only did he receive the materials stored in Tongguan and Li Ru over the years, but he also took over the military rations and materials brought by Xu Rong's reinforcements. However, the soldiers are very fast, and now Dong Zhuo suddenly lost them.
The army of 300,000 is empty inside, which is definitely a great opportunity to destroy Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. However, the newly surrendered prisoners of 200,000 will be in chaos without the suppression of the army. The delay of the day and night will be the same.
It was a last resort.
Now that things have been sorted out, Liu Ming, in addition to leaving 10,000 soldiers, escorted 200,000 prisoners back to Youzhou in batches. He also sent Hua Xiong to lead 30,000 troops to guard Tongguan. He immediately raised an army and attacked him in a mighty manner.
Dong Zhuo's Chang'an.
Along the way, wherever Liu Ming's army passed, the prefectures, cities, counties and counties surrendered one after another. The people even welcomed each other. Liu Ming's army was also strictly abide by military discipline and did not violate the people. He even obtained the
The people's intersection praise.
On this day, Liu Ming's army came to Chang'an and set up a camp.
But just as Liu Ming's army set up its camp, the gate of Chang'an opened wide, and Dong Zhuo's crazy chariot rushed out of the city and headed straight for Liu Ming's army. It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of Liu Ming's military camp.
Before he was established, he would give Liu Ming's army a great success first.
Although Liu Ming did not bring a large group of cows this time, nor was he ready to set up the fire bull formation. But this does not mean that Liu Ming has no other way to deal with Dong Zhuo's crazy chariot. Since Liu Ming has been doing this time, he has no other way to deal with Dong Zhuo's crazy chariot.
If you come to attack Dong Zhuo, it is impossible to avoid encountering Dong Zhuo's crazy chariot again. Liu Ming was fully prepared for this.
With Liu Ming's order, rows of spears were placed in densely packed. The whole process took only five minutes. Dong Zhuo's crazy chariots had not even completed half of the journey.
At first glance, Liu Ming's spear is no different from ordinary steel guns, but when you look closely, it is much shorter than ordinary steel guns, and the second half is thicker than the first half. It turns out that
The rear half of the spear is half wrapped with a casing, which can be expanded and supported. After being expanded, it is like an upside-down y-shaped character, with two points at the bottom firmly inserted into the ground without moving, while the tip of the spear rushes steadily
In front, its height is as high as the horse's chest. In the middle, there are locks that can connect crossbars and connect dozens or hundreds of spears together to form a dense position defense.
The arrangement of this spear is simple and fast and dense. This thing is definitely the nemesis of the war horse. The war horse that rushed over quickly is definitely seeking death. There is no place to hide. However, this kind of thing is used for
Defense is OK. Active attack is impossible. If the enemy sees it from a distance and does not rush up, then there will naturally be no damage.
But now, since the design of Dong Zhuo's crazy chariots, there has been no brake or retreat. Now, facing this kind of spear, it can only destroy itself like a moth to a fire.
One after another, one crazy chariot after another rushed up one after another. After the previous war horse was stabbed to death by a spear, the next crazy chariot would not be able to hide and would hit the previous one.
Crazy chariots, war horses neighed and the body of the car was broken, which was really terrible.
Faced with all this, immediately following the crazy chariot, the Feixiong Knight who was fighting with him was completely stunned. He didn't know what to do. Or was the sound of gold coming from the head of Chang'an City, and then he retreated in panic.
.
Liu Ming's army faced the front of the crazy chariot, and could not bypass the pursuit, nor could it stop the destruction of the crazy chariot.
When the battlefield calmed down, Liu Ming sent people to clean up the battlefield. A total of 20,000 crazy chariots were completely destroyed here. Not only was the war horse of the crazy chariot stabbed to death by a spear, but the imperial guards in the crazy chariot
, and because time has come, the poison has died.
When Liu Ming received the report, he thought about the 20,000 deaths and was forced to control his hands. He became more determined to destroy Dong Zhuo. Eliminating Dong Zhuo is not only for personal benefit, but also for the elimination of a vicious butcher!
