Zhang Liao led his weak troops to guard the Pass, resisting Li Jue's tens of thousands of troops for twelve days. Seeing that the pass was undefendable, he decisively led dozens of cavalry to break through from the front. Li's soldiers were all focused on attacking the pass, and their formation was not strict.
The army was not in order, so he broke into the formation in one fell swoop and took the lead.
Zhang Liao fought bloody battles at the city gates for more than ten days. He was penetrated numerous times. He could not rest day and night. His energy was exhausted. He was already at the end of his strength. However, for his own life and to bring dozens of loyal subordinates around him out of danger, he faced Li
Thousands of soldiers of the army gathered together to intercept and pursue them. Zhang Liao then rallied his courage, held his halberd in front, shouted loudly, and charged forward with his horse. Li's army was invincible and no one dared to stop him. Zhang Liao crossed the Li army's formation,
He broke out of the siege and led the rest of the people to the north.
Li Jun's central army held a large banner, densely covered with soldiers, halberds and halberds, and colorful flags, which was very impressive. All the generals under his command looked at Zhang Liao breaking out of the encirclement. Everyone's face was gloomy, their eyes were like torches, and they seemed to be angry and hovering.
Xiong abdomen.
Li Li, the captain of the Xiaowu Academy, was furious, clenched his fists, and said to Li Jue: "Uncle... Zhang Liao is a man of extraordinary bravery and wisdom. If he lets it go today, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. There will be endless troubles. Let me lead the troops to attack him."
He captured and killed him." Li Li is the eldest son of Li Jue's brother. He is about thirty years old. He has a resolute appearance, strong arms and strong arms. He is the bravest of Li Jun.
Li Li desperately wanted to kill Zhang Liao, not only for Li Jue's sake, but also for personal reasons. Yesterday, when the pass was in danger, Li Li climbed up the wall and worked hard to conquer the pass and confront Zhang Liao. Li Li always
Relying on his own bravery, he didn't expect that the two of them fought for a few rounds and were beaten until they vomited blood. His younger brother Li Xian came to the rescue. The latter's force was far inferior to that of Li Li, so he was not Zhang Liao's opponent. He suffered a heavy blow.
He collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, the two bodyguards loyally protected the master, regardless of casualties, and fought desperately to rescue him. Otherwise, they would probably have died under Zhang Liao's halberd.
Li Li's injuries did not matter, but his younger brother Li Xian had to rest for several months to recover. The Li brothers had been in the army for several years, but they had never suffered such a big loss. For Li Li, who had a proud personality, it was a great shame and humiliation.
, how can we rest without killing Zhang Liao?
Li Jue didn't give the order for a long time, so Li Li couldn't help but became anxious and called out: "Uncle..."
Li Jue glanced at Li Li expressionlessly, then turned his eyes back to the north again, and said calmly: "Lü Bu is in the south, why did Zhang Liao run north instead of south?"
Li Li was startled when he heard this. His mind was full of thoughts of revenge, but he didn't notice this.
Lieutenant Wu Meng, Li Yi, suddenly understood and said: "Brother, what you mean is..."
Li Jue nodded slightly and said slowly: "There is no other place for me, General Hussar."
Li Li clenched his fist so hard that it made an abnormal sound, and said angrily: "What does it have to do with us if he goes to seek refuge with General Hussar? How many of our brothers has this thief Zhang Liao killed in recent days? Is it just because of the name of General Hussar?"
No, are we going to hold back, be timid, and just let go of our enemies?"
"..." Seeing that Li Li was obviously carried away by anger, Li Jue secretly shook his head and was greatly disappointed. Li Li and Li Xian had been with him since childhood. They were not his own children, but more than their own. They were injured and suffered setbacks.
Jue felt very happy. Danshi, since Zhang Liao planned to defect to the Hussars General, the latter was an unbridgeable gap.
The current situation is becoming increasingly clear. The so-called coalition forces of Han and Dong cannot stop the iron hoof of Heshuo Gai's army. General Hussars marches to Chang'an with great momentum. At the height of the sun, he takes control of the Western Capital. It is almost a foregone conclusion. Han Sui can do nothing.
Also, Li Jue didn't want to accompany Han Sui to destruction for a little ambition. At this time, he had to consider the issue of his retreat.
Li Jue pointed his horse whip forward and said: "Let's go into the customs..."
There were about seventy cavalry who followed Zhang Liao out of the pass and broke out, and the remaining ones could be counted as thirty. Although Zhang Liao did not understand why Li Jun did not send light cavalry to chase his own side, he did not dare to take it lightly and did not hesitate to use horse power. He galloped all the way north and entered
Within Lantian County.
In order to resist Gai's army, Han Sui reduced his troops and stationed in Lantian. Cheng Yi and Niu assisted the troops in the area, and 90% of them retreated to Chang'an. There were only a few hundred troops in Lantian County, and they all gathered in the county. Zhang Liao
Instead of approaching the city rashly, he looked for a secluded small village as a temporary place of rest. Broken-armed Qu almost miraculously made it out of the siege, but unfortunately he died due to excessive injuries and lack of medical supplies. Zhang Liao found
He was buried in a land with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The next day, Zhang Liao regained his strength and continued northward with dozens of riders, crossed the Chan River, and entered the territory of Duling. During half a day, Zhang Liao met several Korean scouts. After several conflicts, and several more of his men were lost, Zhang Liao chose to take the day.
Go out at night and head straight to Chang'an...
The moonlight is like water and the stars are like diamonds. On the eastern outskirts of Chang'an, a fortress spans several miles and is dimly lit.
In the large Chinese army tent that could accommodate dozens of people, Gai Jun stood in front of a huge map of Sanfu, unwilling to turn his eyes away for a long time.
This was the fifth day he came to Chang'an. In the first three days, he ignored the generals' turn to ask for battle. He just let the soldiers eat and sleep well to recharge their batteries. Because he knew that Han Sui was very determined to fight to the death.
, the troops are also thick. This war will definitely not end in one or two battles, but will end in three to five days. It may last for half a month, one month, or even two or three months. It is unknown whether the army has followed him southward since the middle of May, and has continued
We have been marching and fighting for more than a month, and we are quite exhausted. Since we know that the opponent cannot be eliminated, instead of hastily starting a battle, we should recuperate our spirits and replenish our physical strength before starting the battle again.
Things turned out exactly as he had guessed. On the fourth day, that is, yesterday, Gai's army came out of camp with great fighting spirit and high morale. They fought with Han Sui from sunrise to sunset. Although they had the upper hand locally, overall, they
They were evenly matched. Today the two sides fought again for a day, and the Georgian army's advantage increased, but it still failed to shake the coalition's main line.
Tomorrow, I don't know if Han Sui will fight again. If this old dog can't get out of the camp, he will have no choice but to attack by force. Han Sui's camp was built based on the market in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, and it is stronger than the temporary fortress he built.
A lot.
Gai Jun's eyes slightly turned away from Chang'an and looked to the left and right. Food and fodder had always been the heaviest weight in the military. Chang'an's tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians consumed a lot every day. They all relied on You Fufeng to support them. Of course Gai Jun would send light cavalry to intercept them.
Danshi, as he crossed the Wei River, dominated the Ershui River, and penetrated deep into Chang'an, his own food route was also exposed under Han Sui's eyes. Both sides come here in a few days. You intercept me once, and I will return it to you.
Although the amount of food burned was measured in tens of thousands of stones, it was not painful and did not affect the overall situation. If he wanted to inflict pain on Han Sui, he still needed Yang Aruo to open up the situation.
"Father..."
Gai Jun was thinking about the war and didn't even notice anyone approaching until a child's voice sounded behind him. Without turning his head, Gai Jun stretched out his hand and hooked his eldest son Gai Yi's shoulder, pulled him to his side and said: "Fu Ping, I'm here.
Why don't you go to bed when it's time?"
"I can't sleep." Gai Yi looked up at his pretty face and asked, "Are you worried about the war?" The two sides fought for days and the situation was always at a stalemate. Gai Yi saw everything in his eyes and thought that his father was worried, so he stayed up in the middle of the night.
I came here specifically to comfort you.
"Worried?" Gai Jun smiled casually. It would be too much to say that he was concerned about the war, but to say he was worried. Besides, even if Zhende was worried, he didn't want his eldest son to see it. Any father would like to think that he is in the eyes of his son.
He is omnipotent, and Gai Junzi is no exception. He said with great pride: "Han Sui is a clown. He will be captured by his father sooner or later. He is not worth worrying about."
Yi's eyes were filled with admiration and she nodded heavily.
Gai Jun rubbed Mo's eldest son's head and enjoyed it very much.
"Father..." Gai Yi said after a while.
"Huh?" Gai Jun looked at his son with a smile.
"Father, have you seen today's son?" Gai Yi's eyes are long and charming, crystal clear, like gems, similar to his mother Bian Wei, and at this moment, a curious light burst out. He has never seen such a thing before in his entire life.
Emperor, I feel quite fresh in my heart.
Gai Jun nodded slightly and said: "At the end of the first year of Zhongping and the beginning of the second year, I met my father several times when he was serving as Yulin Zhonglang in Beijing. He was only four or five years old at that time..." Gai Jun looked back on the past and recalled
Liu Xie, that is a very cute child.
Gai Yi said: "The emperor is about the same age as me."
Gai Jun nodded and said, "I should be twelve years old now, two years older than you."
Gai Yi was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice asking for permission from outside the tent and immediately stopped talking.
The person who came in was Gai Heng and Gai Bozheng. He was about a young age, handsome, handsome, and calm. He was the brother of the Gaijun clan and the son of Gai Guan, the captain of Pinglu. In his early years, Gai Guan fought against Tu Ge and the Huns rebelled.
The army was killed in the battle at the gate of Jinyang City. Gai Junru broke one arm, which was extremely regrettable. Gai Heng had been a mourner for his father for three years, and had some experience in the north. At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, he followed Gai Xun to Jinyang. Gai Jun expressed his gratitude to
He admired him quite a lot and deliberately cultivated him, so he stayed with him. Now he holds the post of Sima and is with him everywhere.
"Bo Zheng, what's the matter?" Gai Jun asked.
Gai Heng first saluted Gai Jun and then met Gai Yi. Fang said slowly and calmly: "General, just now the scouts encountered about two dozen people. The leader calls himself Yu Lin Zhonglang General Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and he has come to join the general."
When Gai Jun heard that Zhang Liao had come to join him, he couldn't help but be happy because of his Qi-nurturing skills, and asked: "Where is he now?"
Gai Heng replied: "Just outside the tent."
"Please come quickly."
"promise."
Gai Heng was about to turn around and leave, but Gai Jun raised his hand to stop, and decided to greet him personally. Then he came out of the tent and saw Zhang Liao standing alone in the open space. Although he was in a state of desolation, his temperament was not diminished. Facing the surrounding men with halberds and armor, he stared at him with eagerness.
Show calmness.
"Wenyuan..." Gai Jun shouted loudly, then laughed loudly, strode up to Zhang Liao, and held his hand regardless of the latter's blood-stained body.
"General..." Zhang Liao did not expect Gai Junhui to greet him personally. He was greatly surprised and hurriedly greeted him.
"It's very inconvenient to talk here. Come on, let's go into the tent and say..." After Gai Jun said this, he dragged Zhang Liao into the tent half-forcedly and said as he walked: "Wen Yuan came to join me. I am so lonely. I am so lonely."
