After the army crossed Fengling Ferry, it entered Huazhou, and the capital of Jingzhao Prefecture, Chang'an, was in sight. High-quality update

It is not easy to build a floating bridge on the rolling and rapid Yellow River. If you don’t have two or three days, don’t expect to get it out. Forty thousand troops, two thousand chariots, three thousand baggage chariots, countless war horses, mules, cattle and sheep.

, it is even more impossible to travel across the Yellow River without ten or eight days.

Therefore, Zhang Xian's two thousand front-selected troops who crossed the Yellow River seemed even more responsible.

After defeating Uluzaba, Zhang Xian only led his army to pursue Guanxi Town twenty miles away and stopped, and did not continue to pursue. They were infantrymen, and Uluzaba was a cavalry. He couldn't chase them even if he wanted to chase them. He just turned them into

The defeated soldiers of the Jin army were almost done.

Using the capture of the Jin army's supplies, food and fodder, Zhang Xian led 2,000 troops to attack from all sides. Within three days, he conquered Huayin and Chaoyi (under Tongzhou) and surrounded Zheng County, Huazhou's capital, and Feng County, Tongzhou's capital.

Yi. After learning that the Tianzhu Army had achieved rapid crossing of the river in one day, the Jin army in these two cities abandoned the city and fled without waiting for the withdrawal order from Chang'an.

On the tenth day of August, the front-selected army did not take too much effort and successfully occupied Zheng County and Fengyi. At this time, the first batch of reinforcements to cross the river through the Yellow River floating bridge also appeared in Guanxi Town...

The Jin army's Yellow River defense line collapsed across the board.

On August 15th, when the moon was the fullest in the year, the Tianzhu Army also achieved a perfect harvest: Huazhou and Tongzhou were captured, the Tongguan defenders were defeated due to the Yellow River front line, their back roads were cut off, and their morale collapsed and they left the gate.

Surrender. Subsequently, the Selected Front Army of the Tianzhu Army advanced from Weinan to Lintong, and encountered the 300 Iron Cavalry of Uluzaba in Weiqiao Town northwest of Lintong.

In addition to the 100 cavalry reconnaissance team, the two thousand elected troops were all infantry, including more than 1,600 soldiers, hundreds of combat vehicles and fifty logistics vehicles. This was based on the mountainous terrain of Guanzhong.

The reduced version of the chariot troops.

Uluzaba had heard of this legendary chariot formation. According to the Loushi Dutong, it was a powerful weapon for both offense and defense. Uluzaba had just suffered a great loss from the Tianzhu Army and retreated hundreds of miles.

The Lou Shi governor pleaded for mercy. It was the time when the war was about to be fought. The furious Olu was removed from office and beheaded. At this time, Uluzaba really didn't dare to provoke the Tianzhu Army, but Lintong was the east gate of Chang'an, and he did not defend it.

Abandoning. It is not advisable. Even if you can't stop the 40,000 Tianzhu Army, you can defeat its vanguard army. It is also good to have a small blow to the morale of the enemy. High-quality updates

Uluzaba had a good idea, and he took advantage of the familiar terrain to wait for the Tianzhu Army to launch a storm. He suddenly attacked with three hundred cavalry. However, he underestimated the ability of the squadron cavalry and the function of the telescope, and he did not.

Thinking that the speed of chariot formation was so fast - several times faster than the soldiers' arrangement of troops, unless the raid could be launched within two miles and the Tianzhu Army's whistle cavalry had no time to warn, there would be no chance at all.

In the blue sky and white sun, hundreds of cavalry lurk within two miles without the enemy's awareness? Unless they turn themselves into earthworms or expect the other party to be blind, there is basically no hope.

If the surprise attack fails, it will naturally turn into a strong attack. Unexpectedly, hundreds of cavalrymen were killed in a blink of an eye. The crisp and continuous gunfire in the valley shocked the Jin army's horses under their crotch.

After losing his first battle, Uluzaba still refused to give up and led his army to wander far away and follow the side of the Selected Front Army, like a wolves in the grassland, always maintaining threats.

Zhang Xian sent out hundreds of cavalry, guarded the chariots and surrounded the chariots into a small chariot array, and circled the auxiliary soldiers and baggage and food in the array. Five hundred musketeers walked forward close to the inner wall of the chariot array, while one thousand slashed soldiers

The sprite soldiers were arranged into two military formations, with wing guards and chariots on the left and right, and followed the chariots. All the soldiers' vigilant eyes were not far away from the Jin cavalry that was wandering hundreds of steps away.

Uluzaba constantly sent troops to induce the cavalry of the Tianzhu Army, but the Tianzhu Army's military law was extremely strict and he could not attack without orders. The Jin cavalry took a long time to reach the conditions for luring the enemy cavalry and attacking the aircraft.

Just walking and stopping, Lintong is already looking at...

Uluzaba ultimately failed to achieve the goal of damaging the morale of the enemy. The loss of dozens of cavalry did not count, but it was like going out dozens of miles to welcome guests into the city...

On August 20th, the Ulusaba Army, which had resisted the offensive of the vanguard army for two days, heard that the subsequent army of the Tianzhu Army had passed through Weinan, and knew that with a small city like Lintong, it would block a vanguard army that lacked siege equipment.

It's barely possible, if the army arrives, there will be no chance to run away.

That night, Uluzaba led more than 200 cavalry out of the city from the south gate and fled to Chang'an.

The front-selected army immediately conquered Lintong.

On August 23, Di Lie led the First Reorganized Division to 12,000 troops, plus 2,000 troops and 2,000 troops and horses, a total of more than 14,000 troops and horses, and appeared in Baqiao Town, which was only more than ten miles away from Chang'an.

The battle against Chang'an is about to begin.

...

At the beginning of last year, Chang'an was still under the control of Yanchao. At that time, the Jingzhao Prefecture Strategic Control Order Tang Chong was guarding the city. The high-quality update was just now, but not long after, the Jinxi Road Army launched a Guanzhong offensive to kill Tang Chong.

A year ago, Zhang Zongyan, the general of the Yongxing Army of Jianyan Dynasty, once recaptured Chang'an when Chen Zhongjun, the Jinxi Army was in Hedong and his defense was empty. However, he was soon attacked by Wanyan Loushi himself

He defeated and took the opportunity to play a trick of concealing the world. He suddenly appeared on the front battlefield of Liaozhou and fought a real battle with the Tianzhu Army.

After the defeat in Liaozhou, Wanyan Loushi knew that Hezhong Prefecture would not be protected sooner or later, and now he attached unprecedented importance to the defense of Chang'an City. At this time, Chang'an was no longer the "hundreds of thousands of families are like Go" in the night of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The 12th Street is like a vegetable bed. Since the Anshi Rebellion, Chang'an City has been linked to wars in nearly four hundred years, and has been repeatedly destroyed. The outer city, inner city, and imperial city have all become ruins and are almost lost.

As a city guard function.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Chang'an City was also repaired repeatedly, but unfortunately, it was destroyed by the Jin army one after another as soon as it improved. The Jin people followed the principle of dismantling and construction, and allowed the whole city to be desolate and broken walls. This method of the Jin people was also true.

It works - Zhang Zongyan was quickly defeated, which caused the city defense to be damaged.

However, it is obvious that Wanyan Loushi did not want to take advantage of Zhang Zongye's mistakes, so he wanted to rebuild the inner and outer city walls of Chang'an. This reconstruction project was handed over to the deputy commander of the Chang'an Cavalry and Infantry Army since the defeat in Liaozhou in November last year.

Gao Yong is responsible.

Gao Yong, the commander of the Yan Han'er Army under Han Qinghe, was the former Taiyuan garrison, the only Jin general who escaped from the Taiyuan Battle. With the spirit of being atonement for his sins, he tried his best to urge his servants to build the city wall and add fortifications.

After more than half a year of hard work, by August, the outer city in Chang'an had returned to 70 to 80% of the Northern Song Dynasty. From outside the city, the gate towers were towering, with a line of tricks, woods on the top of the city, deer forts under the city, and protection of the city.

The ditch is deep and the river is overflowing - it has a very tight barrier and solid weather.

Di Lie, with generals above the First Reorganized Division Brigade, led thousands of cavalry regiments of the guard battalions and appeared in the northwest of Chang'an, what he saw was this scene.

At this time, Chang'an was no longer as luxurious as the super luxurious area of ​​more than 80 square kilometers during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Less than one-quarter of the city was left, with high city, thick city and city gates all severely reduced. For example, the northern city that Di Lie saw now

The city is only two feet high, and its width is just enough to be able to run parallel to eight horses. The number of city gates has been reduced from three in the Tang Dynasty to one. Only the famous Xuanwu Gate is left behind. As for the glorious Daming Palace north of Xuanwu Gate, only the wasteland is left.

The decaying foundation is accompanied by weeds, and even the broken walls have been demolished to build the city wall...

When Di Lie and his party were surrounding Chang'an City, Uluzaba, a thousand golden cavalry stationed five miles west of Chang'an, kept staring at each other and following each other, while paying close attention to the signals on the city.

However, from the beginning to the end, Chang'an has a lifeless heart, without any expectation.

Although Uluzaba was defeated repeatedly, among the entire Jinxilu army, he was the only one who had several confrontations with the Tianzhu Army and had achieved experience. Whether it was Loushi or Olu, he really dared not.

The generals were easily changed, and a new general was baptized by the tactics of the Tianzhu Army again... Therefore, the two commanders of the Western Route Army agreed to hand over all the cavalry that were not very useful to defend the city to Uluzaba command.

It is stationed outside the city and forms a horn with Chang'an City, which can restrain the Tianzhu Army from siegeing the city and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Although we also saw that there were important generals of the Tianzhu Army around the city, no one dared to issue a cavalry assault order - because the three cavalry regiments of the Tianzhu Army plus a guard cavalry battalion, a total of three thousand cavalrymen, and Di Lie was the leader.

The inspectors and encirclements. How dare the Jin cavalry, which only one-third of the Tianzhu Army, attack? This is not the Song army, but the Tianzhu army! It is the Tianzhu army that just defeated the Jin army!

When Di Lie turned to the southeast corner of Chang'an, an abnormal situation occurred in the scope shot, which attracted his attention - the city wall in the southeast corner was obviously shorter than elsewhere, and there were obvious cracks, which were wide enough to insert a palm...

…

Di Lie passed the scope in his hand to Yang Zaixing, Ling Yuan, Zhang Xian and others, and signaled them to pay attention to observation.

Zhang Xian is quite familiar with Chang'an's humanistic geography and speculated: "This place was in the Li Tang Dynasty. It was once the Qujiang Pond in Furong Garden. Later, the wind and sand were overturned, and the water of the pool dried up, which became an abandoned pit. Because the original stones were soft and the city walls were

It’s okay to be disrepaired after years of disrepair. Once it is rebuilt, under heavy pressure, the foundation will sink and the city wall will crack itself."

Yang Zaixing also said: "Looking at the surrounding area, there are many traces of repair, but it is difficult to stop the city wall from cracking. It is undoubtedly because of the sinking of the ground."

Di Lie and Yang, Zhang Er will smile: "The breakthrough point of our army is here! Let's go back to the camp--"

Thousands of cavalry, watching thousands of pairs of frightened eyes behind the female pheasant disc in Chang'an City, rolled up the yellow dust in the sky and stumbled away...

Uluzaba's thousand cavalry army once again acted as the temporary master of "hospitality", followed behind in a complicated mood, and sent the Tianzhu cavalry across the Ba River and to Ba Bridge...

Above the Chang'an City Gate Tower, a stout golden armor and a weak old man leaning against a bamboo chair and wrapped in a piece of wool felt on a hot day, watched the Tianzhu Army's cavalry go away together.

After a long time, the golden general suddenly stared at the old man: "Oriyan, I can't help it! I, Olu, have fought for half a lifetime, and have always attacked the city and destroyed the formation. Have you ever been forced to defend the city? He Di Lie

There are more than 10,000 people, and I have nearly 10,000 people. So what if I fight a field battle with him?"

The person called Oliyan, well, if you look closely, it is Wanyan Loushi. Compared to when he was on the shore of Zhuozhang Water, he is now like a leather skeleton, with only a ball of eyes sinking.

The shadow, two ghostly fire-like pupils are green and shiny.

Wanyan Loushi tried hard to exhale the turbid breath and slowly said: "Olu, do you want a happy defeat or a frustrated victory?"

Olu's eyes burst into flames: "You conclude that our army will be defeated?"

Wanyan Loushi asked replies without answering: "As far as you see, how about the more than 10,000 defenders in Chang'an than the ten thousand troops I led north to Liaozhou that day?"

Hanluoga pondered: "If my two thousand elites were still there in the Yellow River blocking battle, it might be a comparison, but now..." Speaking of the disastrous defeat of the Yellow River blocking battle, Hanlu was both angry and heartbroken, two thousand elites were

! Especially the 200 elite soldiers with heavy armor were dragged down by heavy armor and almost no one ran away. Such excellent armor and strong soldiers were only five hundred in the Western Army!

Wanyan Loushi saw the painful grief and anger in the eyes of Wulu, and he just said in a low voice: "Even if there are tens of thousands of troops, and there will be another battle in Liaozhou, Wuliyan will not be sure of winning."

Wu Lu stared at Lou Shi. The general he admired the most, actually said such depressing words. Could it be that the Tianzhu Army would be invincible?

Wanyan Loushi seemed to see the old comrade-in-arms' thoughts, looked directly at the other party, and said word by word: "Attack, you will lose, defend, you can win, and defend Chang'an. As long as you last until September, the autumn will grow tall and the grass will grow, and I will go east.

A hundred thousand troops will surely return to the rescue. Then it will be the best time to capture Di Lie and annihilate the Tianzhu Army under Chang'an City!"

"Well!" Olu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and paused hard, "I'll listen to you, just wait for a frustrated victory!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels and more
