Chapter 317 Occupying Chang'an
In the blink of an eye, half of the troops were killed or injured, and the generals in Xiliang were terrified.
"Quick, go back, go back."
The Xiliang general knew that the road ahead could not be rushed, so he ordered to retreat, preparing to flee back.
"Pursuit."
Zhang Yu saw that they wanted to escape, so he ordered to pursue them.
"kill."
Not long after the Xiliang army had run away, a cavalry rushed out from where they came from with a cry of killing.
"God dies me too."
General Xiliang was desperate, blocked on both sides, and the opponent had a superior force, and there were enemies constantly attacking above.
The Xiliang army was attacked from three dimensions and had nowhere to hide. They were all wiped out in less than an hour.
In order to control the casualties, Zhang Yu let Zhao Yun from above attack for a while, and then he and Huang Zhong launched an attack together, and quickly knocked them down.
In this battle, no Xiliang army escaped, and all of them were eaten by Zhang Yu.
"Zilong blocked the news from both sides, and the rest immediately cleared the battlefield." Zhang Yu ordered.
The battlefield was cleared for a day, during which time no one was found.
Because Zhao Yun's people put on Xiliang army armor to set up checkpoints and patrol, and if anyone was found, they would all be detained.
The couriers on both sides were detained.
A day later, Zhao Yun came to report.
"My lord, this is the reply letter from the Chang'an guard to Dong Zhuo." Zhao Yun said to Zhang Yu with a letter.
"Sure enough." Everyone looked at Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu shook the letter and said: "This letter is a reply letter from Chang'an's guard to Dong Zhuo, saying that he has already started to prepare for the arrival of the army and the emperor."
"My lord, can we implement the next plan?" Huang Zhong said.
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "All the conditions have been met, it's time for us to attack."
Everyone got excited, following Zhang Yu was exciting, and big things were going to happen again.
This time Zhang Yu is really doing something big, if it succeeds, Yuan Shao will vomit blood.
Zhang Yu and the others started to act.
He led Dian Wei and Huang Zhong in front, and Zhao Yun's army was divided into two parts. One part hid in the canyon and intercepted all the messengers coming and going. The other part blocked the surrounding trails to ensure that no news would leak out for a period of time. .
The leak of news is certain, but Zhang Yu and the others only have a few days.
If Dong Zhuo did not receive any news for a long time, he would definitely become suspicious and send someone to investigate.
Zhang Yu and the others put on all the more than 10,000 sets of armor of the Xiliang Army they collected. In order to ensure success, they marched at night and hid during the day to reduce the chance of exposure.
The cavalry rushed, and Zhang Yu and the others arrived outside Chang'an a few days later.
"Everyone rest, absolutely no action during the day."
Zhang Yu and the others hid outside the city and waited for the opportunity.
At night, Zhang Yu called several generals over.
"We acted in the middle of the night, and waited for me to cheat to open the city gate. Evil Lai led two thousand people to immediately control the city gate. Han Sheng led people to kill the enemy's barracks, Zilong blocked all the streets, and I went to attack their city lord's mansion." Zhang Yu said.
All the generals said that there was no problem, and they each clarified their tasks.
Zhang Yu and the others have also collected information that there are not many troops in Chang'an City, and there is no need to deploy heavy troops here. The troops are all transferred to Luoyang to deal with the Kwantung Allied Forces.
Moreover, staying in Chang'an is not an elite force, but a newly recruited army by Dong Zhuo.
In the middle of the night, an army of more than 20,000 people appeared on the official road.
"Quickly open the city gate." Zhang Yu and the others pretended to be Xiliang soldiers, and they came to the top of the city and called for the gate.
"Who are you? I need to report to the general before I can open the city gate." The gate guard began to ask.
"There's so much nonsense, hurry up and open the city gates, the prime minister asked us to take over Chang'an and prepare for the arrival of the army, and delay the prime minister's important affairs, can you afford it?" Zhang Yu shouted.
The guard on the top of the city obviously hesitated, and Zhang Yu was hurriedly urged again.
The guard didn't doubt it, but he wanted to confirm his identity because of the procedure.
"Okay, okay, open the city gate now."
The guard is also afraid of these uncles, and it is definitely not a good person who can be sent by Dong Zhuo to fight in the front.
Besides, this is the rear area, there can be no enemies, so the guard didn't question him carefully.
With the help of moonlight and torches, they could also see clearly that they were indeed wearing armor from Xiliang.
The most important thing is that they got the news a long time ago. Calculating the time, they arrived within a day or two.
"Open the city gate." The guard ordered to open the city gate.
But Zhang Yu and the others still stood where they were, without any movement.
After a while, the tall city gate slowly opened.
Zhang Yu and the others all had excited light in their eyes.
"kill."
When the city gate was wide open and the people inside wanted to come out to meet them, Zhang Yu suddenly launched an attack, and more than 20,000 cavalry rushed in.
The guard at the city gate was stunned. What's going on? How can you attack them?
"Enemy attack, hurry up..."
After a long time, when he realized that the enemy had already been killed, he had no chance to shout out.
Then more than 20,000 cavalry rushed in together, killing the designated target.
Huang Zhong led the cavalry all the way to charge towards their barracks. Zhang Yu also moved quickly and charged towards the City Lord's Mansion.
They each went to their own targets. In the middle of the night, those soldiers were still sleeping soundly. When they were suddenly surrounded and attacked, they were all stunned, and they were dealt with without much resistance.
Zhang Yu and the others immediately took control when they reached the City Lord's Mansion.
After entering the city, without much fighting, Zhang Yu and the others successfully controlled Chang'an City.
After controlling Chang'an City, Zhang Yu controlled thousands of defenders, and then occupied the City Lord's Mansion and all the warehouses in the city.
"Haha, my lord, it's done. We found a lot of supplies in the warehouse. These are all to be transported to Luoyang for combat. Now they are all cheaper for us." Dian Wei said happily as he came in.
Zhang Yu found out that there was indeed a large amount of food, weapons and other materials in the warehouse, but Zhang Yu couldn't take them away.
However, a batch of gold and silver was confiscated, worth millions.
"Zilong, how many horses were confiscated?" Zhang Yu asked.
Horses are what Zhang Yu cares most about, and they are also what Zhang Yu urgently needs at present.
"My lord, we have confiscated more than 20,000 war horses," Zhao Yun said.
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "There are still not enough war horses. You must send people to search the surrounding areas immediately. You must collect more horses."
Zhao Yun took the order and left, while Zhang Yu asked people to continue pretending to be the Xiliang defenders, and then blocked the entire Chang'an City.
At this time Dong Zhuo had already started to retreat, he didn't know that the place he was going to was already occupied by Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu will continue to block news from Dong Zhuo until he is fully prepared.
Chang'an City can only enter but not exit, and those who enter Chang'an will be immediately controlled.
Dong Zhuo had a lot of things going on at this time, and he hadn't noticed the change in Chang'an yet.
And Zhang Yu and the others are also busy. Zhang Yu knows that Chang'an can't be kept, but he still wants to make a fuss about Chang'an.
