The Sichuan army could only race against time to minimize the effect of Cao's surprise attack. At this time, they could not care about Sun Shangxiang. When Sun Shangxiang saw several generals, they were all pushed away.
"Hey, hey, what are you causing trouble?" A Sichuan Army general saw Sun Shangxiang constantly looking for those busy generals and wandering around the city, and immediately stepped forward.
When Sun Shangxiang saw that someone finally paid attention to him, he was overjoyed and stepped forward: "General, there is important information here. You should submit it to Liu Xun immediately."
"Bold, are you allowed to call me by your first name, young lord?" Sun Shangxiang had always called Liu Zhang by his first name at home, let alone Liu Xun, and now he shouted it out too. The general was immediately dissatisfied, and Sun Shangxiang wanted to explain.
The general suddenly looked at Sun Shangxiang: "Hey, isn't this Mrs. Sun? She hasn't come out all year long, why did she come out today? Could it be that she came out to watch the fun because she saw the Sichuan Army in danger? I tell you, the Sichuan Army is invincible and will never be defeated. Don't ask for it.
Not interesting."
"General, I have important information here..."
"What important information? You haven't left the door all day, what important information do you have?" The general scolded Sun Shangxiang, opened the hand of Sun Shangxiang's brother's bag, suddenly looked at Sun Shangxiang, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, you
I haven't left the house for more than half a year, but today we are in danger in Chang'an City, so you came out and hindered our Sichuan Army generals from doing their jobs. Did you deliberately want our Sichuan Army to be defeated?
Let me tell you, Mrs. Huang doesn’t want you to be free. That’s Mrs. Huang’s kindness. If you dare to mess around here again and hinder our Sichuan army from defending the city, believe it or not, even if you are my wife, I will dare to kill you on the spot?"
"You..." Sun Shangxiang is also a grumpy person. He had already swallowed his anger just for the sake of information. Now that he was said like this, his temper suddenly rose and he said loudly: "You, don't regret it."
After Sun Shangxiang said that, he turned around and left. Two maids hurriedly followed. One maid said: "Miss, this information is not trivial. Are we going to ignore it?"
"The attitude of those Sichuan generals deserves to be wiped out." Sun Shangxiang cursed angrily, but he calmed down immediately, tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and said angrily: "What can I do? They are all as anxious as burning their butts, and not a single general is on fire.
I’m willing to take a look at it with peace of mind, but I can’t shout out loud. Maybe we’ve attracted the attention of those people by running around like this, so what else can we do?”
Sun Shangxiang thought for a while and gritted his teeth angrily: "Forget it, try again, if it doesn't work in the north city, the sisters will go to the east, west and south cities separately. I, Sun Shangxiang, owe Liu Zhang a debt in my previous life."
"Ho, ho ho." A large number of cavalry appeared outside the north city of Chang'an and stopped three miles away. They rested their horses on the spot and looked around. Judging from their clothing, there were about 70,000 people. Cao's army was about 30,000 and the Huns were four.
Thousands of dollars.
"Pah, pah, pah."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The siege had not yet begun, but the shouts of Cao's army, the sound of the Xiongnu soldiers' scimitars hitting their shields, and the shouts had already resounded throughout the Chang'an wilderness.
It took about a while to rest for a stick of incense. The rumble of horse hooves sounded, and Cao Jun formed a cavalry flow to attack Chang'an. An overwhelming rain of arrows hit the city head.
The siege officially begins.
After half an hour of cavalry shooting, the cavalry dismounted, ladders, rams and other siege equipment were all pushed up. These were all looted from Wugong City. Wugong is a military important place with some strategic materials. It was originally used as Chang'an.
Defense supplement.
However, Wu Jun's military advisor Zhou Ce was really smart. When Wu Jun went on the expedition, he made a strategy of attacking Wu Gong first and then attacking Chang'an.
The north of Wugong was desolate, and when Cao Jun arrived, he had no time to close the city gate, so it was breached in one fell swoop, and all the military supplies inside were lost to Cao Jun.
The Xiongnu soldiers and Cao soldiers climbed up, and the huge impact of the ram car hit the city gate, making a loud noise.
Even if Chang'an was in a hurry, it was less than three hours from the discovery of Cao's army to the time when Cao's army launched the attack. In such a short time, it was impossible to prepare much defense materials, and there was no time to deploy a complete defense. The defense was rough and had numerous loopholes.
The Xiongnu soldiers kept climbing up, and the Sichuan army was originally unsettled, but Liu Xun and Zhou Buyi personally sat at the top of the city and fought hard to kill the enemy, repelling Cao's army time and time again.
"Father told me that if we cannot capture Chang'an in three days, it will be dangerous. If we cannot capture Chang'an in five days, the expedition will be a complete failure. Our army has not brought any food and fodder for the return journey, and there will be no way out by then."
In the formation of Cao's army, Cao Zhang spoke in a deep voice. He was not yet twenty years old, and his voice already had a strong aura, and his body was full of fighting spirit. A wisp of yellow beard on his chin was moving in the wind.
"Before leaving, Mr. Zhou Ce also told me that on the third day, the reinforcements arrived at Hangu Pass, and on the fifth day, the reinforcements arrived at Qingni Pass. On the fifth day, we could not capture Chang'an, and our success fell short.
But we have already made arrangements. In less than three days and five days, we will be able to drink tea in the Chang'an Palace tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, Liu Zhang spent countless financial and manpower to rebuild Guanzhong, and Chang'an became increasingly prosperous, but it will be ours, hahaha.
"
Wu Jun stood proudly on the horse's head. The Wu Jun now is completely different from the Wu Jun in Jiangzhou back then.
Wu Jun has been really proud of himself for the past six months. Ever since he first started to have ambitions to compete for hegemony, Wu Jun has been wandering.
After experiencing the defeat at Guanzhong against Liu Bei and the defeat at the Wei River against the Sichuan Army, he hid in Huashan Mountain for more than a year and was displaced from place to place.
However, more than half a year ago, after acquiring the strategist Zhou Ce and the general Wang Yue, he has been transformed. First, he took advantage of the fact that the Huns were severely wounded by the Di people, and then attacked by the Cao army.
Each tribe came under his command one after another.
Now he is also a warlord with fifty thousand cavalry.
Moreover, as long as Chang'an is captured this time, it has been agreed with Cao Cao that Cao Cao will occupy Guanzhong and Wu Jun will occupy Xiliang and Yongbei, connecting it with Xiahetao.
I think I came from a humble family and started from scratch. I have always been fighting against giants like Liu Zhang. Who wouldn't be proud of being able to reach this day?
The city of Chang'an in front of him has long been in Wu Jun's pocket. Thinking of the current prosperity of Chang'an, Wu Jun couldn't help but feel excited. Although he could not capture it in the end, Wu Jun had already planned to conquer Chang'an and would try his best.
They plundered the women for their property and dragged them all back to the river.
"Humph, I don't like to drink tea, nor do I like to wait for others to decide my fate. Seeing that the Sichuan army at the head of the city is simply not prepared, the thunder, rocks and rolling wood cannot cover the blow, and there are many loopholes. This is the best time to attack." Cao Zhang said coldly.
road.
"How are you doing, General?"
"Watch me destroy the city myself."
After speaking, Cao Zhang picked up his sword and the horse's reins and rushed towards Chang'an. A general beside Wu Jun looked at the Chang'an city wall quietly.
"Chang'an, I haven't seen you for a year, and it has changed. If it hadn't gone through the war, would it have returned to the prosperity it had two hundred years ago? Liu Zhang, it's a pity that you died."
The general is none other than Wang Yue, the top general in Wu Jun's army. He has lived in Chang'an for a long time and has a deep understanding of the dilapidation of Chang'an City. However, the city wall he sees now is in perfect condition. The suburbs of Chang'an are full of farmland, and there are vegetable seedlings in the farmland.
,seedling.
This is completely the prototype of a prosperous Guanzhong.
It's a pity that the Ming Lord has passed away. Wang Yue saw from Liu Xun's actions in dealing with the Chang'an family that Liu Xun could not inherit Liu Zhang's will, so that he could not join the Sichuan army. Wang Yue felt very regretful. At this moment, he saw that the repair was complete.
The Chang'an City Wall has a mixed flavor.
Cao Zhang dismounted two hundred steps away and led his troops to attack the city in person. They fought with invincible courage until they reached the top of the city. Zhou Buyi looked shocked and could not care less, so he immediately asked Liu Xun to rush to the gap where Cao Zhang had killed.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw Liu Xun coming, they fought desperately to kill the enemy. The soldiers around Liu Xun also joined in and finally blocked the gap. Cao Zhang was slashed on the shoulder and retreated angrily.
"I heard that Cao Zhang was called Huang Xu'er by Cao Cao, but I think it's nothing more than that." Wu Jun looked at Cao Zhang with disdain as he was being helped back by his subordinates, "General Wang Yue, lead your troops to attack the city and show these Cao troops.
Look at the majesty of our army."
"General." Wang Yue reported: "The first choice for using troops is to use surprise. We are making a surprise attack now. Although the Sichuan army is poorly prepared, Liu Xun personally oversees the city. The Sichuan army is still fighting and it will be difficult to win it for a while.
It is better for us to consume the Sichuan army's physical strength and morale first, after all, we still have useless weapons, and when the time comes I will lead my troops out and break Chang'an."
"What do you think you're talking about? Aren't you just afraid of death and don't want to go up?" Feng Ziyin behind Wu Jun said disdainfully.
"Zi Yin, be careful." Wu Jun scolded, but his face was obviously unhappy. Wu Jun felt that Cao Zhang's failure to attack the city at this time was the best time to make a face. If Wang Yue did not attack the city, he would lose face.
However, Wu Jun did not dare to offend Wang Yue. Wang Yue and Zhou Ce were his two trump cards, one civil and one military, and he could not survive without either one.
Cao's army fought from noon to night, but failed to break through the city of Chang'an. However, Chang'an was also in danger. Because the tools to defend the city were insufficient, they had to use their lives to make up for it. The Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties.
Originally preparing to speed up the transportation of supplies to the city at night, Cao Jun ignored the fatigue of long-range raids and continued to attack the city with fire. The Sichuan army worked hard all night to defend the city.
"Young lord, let's go to the Tibetan Soldier Cave and take a rest." Zhou Buyi said.
Liu Xun stood at the top of the city, watching Cao Jun organize the next attack in the distance, and slowly shook his head: "The soldiers are still resisting, I can't rest, and..."
Liu Xun bit his lip and suddenly turned to Zhou Buyi: "Brother Buyi, I'm so stressed. I'm so scared that I won't be able to defend the city. I'm so scared that I'll be sorry for my father. I'm so scared."
Zhou Buyi saw Liu Xun trembling all over, and he could feel the tension and pressure in Liu Xun's heart. If we say this war from south to north was the first battle commanded by Liu Xun.
This Chang'an city defense battle was the first time Liu Xun faced a war as a commander, and he was greatly outnumbered.
Anyone would be nervous.
"Cao's army is attacking so fiercely. We have been broken through many times. No doubt brother, how long do you think we can hold on?" (To be continued)
