Chapter 260

In the early July of the sixth year of Zhongping, it was thirty miles west of Chang'an city.

"Come on, a little faster! Today we won Chang'an City and broke Tongguan pass. " Pound rode a white horse on his hip, waved his spear, and yelled at his cavalry to speed up the March.

Five thousand iron cavalry galloped eastward. The speed of the cavalry was very fast. Moreover, Liangzhou was rich in war horses. Therefore, Liu Ye's cavalry troops were mostly one man and two riders. When one horse was tired, he could immediately ride another horse. When two horses were rotated, the speed would not be affected.

The distance of 30 Li didn't take long. In a twinkling of an eye, the outline of a huge city slowly emerged in front of 5000 iron horses.

This is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty began to rule here for hundreds of years.

Although Chang'an city is no longer prosperous since Emperor Guangwu established his capital in Luoyang, Chang'an city is still a first-class metropolis in the world. Both in political and economic status, Chang'an city is only under Luoyang, and it is also the most populous city to the west of Tongguan.

"Kill! Take Chang'an city. "

Pound drank, and the chivalry of 5000 iron was uplifted. It was like a rushing torrent, which launched an impact on this city with a glorious history.

And not long ago

"Faster, faster." Fenwei Zhonglang yelled at the cow.

Are you kidding? This is a task assigned to him by his father-in-law Dong Zhuo. Of course, we should finish it as soon as possible.

Although Dong Zhuo is now the prime minister, he has to deal with Lv Bu's Bingzhou army and the government, so he is so busy that he hasn't had time to add an official to his own subordinates. So far, the number one general, Li Zhen, has been a Zhonglang general, and Lv Bu has been named Wenhou.

Dong Zhuo usually doesn't think much of Niu Fu, especially Li Ru, his eldest son-in-law. His outstanding performance makes Niu Fu even more embarrassed.

If this time we can complete the task assigned by the Lord Taishan, my father-in-law will not be allowed to add an official position to himself? By then, niufu will have a good time.

Driven by Niu Fu, 3000 iron horses traveled westward and finally arrived at Tongguan, the east gate of Chang'an.

At this time, a sentry came back, panting: "Niu Zhonglang! No, Liu Ye's army has thousands of irons to drive Chang'an. What should our army do? "

"What?" Niu Fu was stunned, even if he had to send troops.

"Don't rest. Let's attack all of Ben Zhonglang. We must defeat the enemy and ensure the safety of Chang'an." Niu Fu yelled.

"Niu Zhonglang, wait a minute." Jia Xu on one side frowned.

Niu Fu turned to his head and said, "Mr. Wen he, if I lose Chang'an City, the prime minister will have to peel off my skin."

Jia Xu motioned to him to be calm. Then he asked the sentry, "can you see the number of the enemy and who is the leader?"

The sentry respectfully said, "the number of enemy riders is about four or five thousand, and there is a pennant in the middle."

Jia Xu said "Oh" and then said to Niu: "Niu Zhonglang, the number of enemy troops is higher than me. Besides, our army has been marching for several hours. Now we are a tired army. If we fight with the enemy, if we fail, we will certainly be shocked in Chang'an city. Besides, can Niu Zhonglang guarantee victory?"

Niu Fu frowned, but he wanted to pat his chest to ensure victory. However, the number of the enemy is higher than that of himself. Although Liu Ye is not the leader of the enemy, he does not know the details of the enemy. It would be really

Niu Fu said impatiently, "if you don't send troops, how about the enemy directly attacking Chang'an City?"

Jia Xu confidently said: "Niu Zhonglang, don't worry. Chang'an city is tall and strong. There are still 5000 garrisons in the city. As long as the gate is closed, even 50000 troops can't easily break through. Besides, I have a plan."

Niu Fu, who has always believed in Jia xuzhineng, said, "Mr. Wenhe, please teach me quickly."

"You can order the cavalry to inform Chang'an city to close the door and hold fast. Then they will form soldiers with grass men and order the soldiers to raise torches at Tongguan to echo with Chang'an city. The enemy will inevitably retreat."

Niu Fu nodded and ordered to the left and right: "didn't you hear what Wen he said? It's not fast enough. "

"Here it is

At the same time, more than a thousand soldiers went up to Tongguan and lit torches. All of a sudden, more than a thousand of them suddenly lit up above Tongguan, as if thousands of troops and horses were occupying it, and the city was full of momentum.

It was the night, and the flames of Tongguan were immediately detected by Pound's 5000 cavalry and the garrison in Chang'an.

"General, there seems to be an enemy at Tongguan."

Pound looked at it with a frown.

However, the garrison in Chang'an city was greatly inspired and their morale doubled.

"Reinforcements have arrived. Don't be afraid."

"Guard the gate and guard against enemy attack."

The morale of Chang'an city was very high, and the gate was closed. Although Pound's five thousand irons galloped rapidly, they could not attack the city directly. Just looking at the gate, which was seven or eight feet high, was daunting."Stop." Pound gave a big drink and stopped the white horse under his hip, while his soldiers practiced and obeyed.

"Pang Xiaowei, what should our army do?"

Pound pondered and thought: it seems impossible for Chang'an city to go down in one drum. Originally, he intended to break through Tongguan in one breath, and then defend Tongguan. After waiting for Liu Ye to lead the army to come, he closed the door and beat the dog.

However, Dong Zhuo's reaction speed was not slow. There were countless torches on Tongguan pass. I don't know how many enemy troops swarmed into the pass. If his 5000 iron cavalry fought in the plain, he would have no pressure to defeat his soldiers twice as many as his own. Even if the number of his Xiliang iron cavalry was more than his own, he would not be unable to fight.

But it would be too wasteful to let the cavalry dismount to attack the city.

Pound took a distant look at the countless torches and the dense figures at Tongguan, and sighed.

"It's all right. Let's go back ten miles and set up a camp. We'll send a sentry to inform the Lord that DongZhuo's reinforcements have arrived at Tongguan to ask the Lord's opinion."

Pound waved his hand and turned the rear team of 5000 irons into the front team. Instead of attacking Chang'an City, he retreated ten miles and set up camp.

Above Tongguan.

Niu Fu said happily: "Mr. Wenhe is really a brilliant plan. He retreated the enemy without a single soldier. He is really a great talent."

Jia Xu's face was expressionless: "nothing. Let's invite Niu Zhonglang into the city."

"Good."

Niu Fu nodded and left a thousand guards at Tongguan. In addition, there were 2000 guards in Tongguan. It was enough to guard Tongguan for a while.

After that, Niu Fu and Jia Xu entered Chang'an city quietly at night, surrounded by two thousand iron horses.
