The rising black smoke in Chang'an City was quickly noticed by the Han army several miles away.
After Wei Yan's deputy general Fu Qian saw the rising black smoke from a high place, he quickly ran towards Wei Yan with a happy face.
Because the waiting process was so boring, Wei Yan was lying on the grass at the moment, holding a piece of weed in his mouth and looking up at the deep blue sky.
Watching the clouds floating in the sky, Wei Yan felt like he was about to fall asleep.
The impatient Wei Yan stood up impatiently, thinking of immediately ordering the Han army to attack Chang'an City not far away.
But when he thought of Mi Yang's instructions, Wei Yan's whole body softened again.
After several years of training, Wei Yan had already developed an inexplicable emotion towards Mi Yang.
He did not respect Mi Yang as much as Liu Bei, but Wei Yan was afraid of Mi Yang from the bottom of his heart.
He did not dare to disobey Mi Yang's general orders at all.
And Wei Yan also knew the reason why Mi Yang asked him to stand still, in order to wait for the civil strife in Chang'an City to break out.
This civil strife may happen today, or it may happen tomorrow. The greater possibility is that Zhang He will be captured by Cao Zhang before he has time to resist.
With everything unknown, the Han army had to remain stationary at first.
Otherwise, if the Wei army took advantage of its commanding position on the city wall, it would be easy to detect the movements of the Han army.
And if Cao Zhang knew the movements of the Han army in advance, it would inevitably cause more variables to the originally good situation.
Wei Yan understands the truth.
But it’s hard to make him wait!
Wei Yan was anxious and thought about whether he should take out the sword from his waist and chop down the big tree in front of him to vent his mood.
But just when Wei Yan's eyes looking at the big tree in front of him became more and more dangerous, Fu Qian hurriedly ran to Wei Yan.
"General, there is something going on in Chang'an City!"
After hearing what Fu Qian said, Wei Yanteng jumped up from the ground and spit out the weeds in his mouth.
"Take me to see it quickly."
Wei Yan has a rough and fierce personality, but in military affairs he has a kind of meticulousness that ordinary people cannot match.
It's not that Wei Yan doesn't believe in Fu Qian, it's that there are many things that need to be seen with one's own eyes to feel at ease.
After all, Fu Qian's experience was much worse than Wei Yan's.
Under Wei Yan's order, Fu Qian quickly led Wei Yan to the high slope.
When Wei Yan stood on the high slope, the black smoke in Chang'an City was obviously thicker.
After seeing this scene, Wei Yan immediately slapped his head and said to Fu Qianyan beside him:
"Bang the drum! Beat the drum!"
Wei Yan worked his way up from a scout to his current status.
With rich war experience, he could certainly tell whether the black smoke rising in Chang'an City was a trick by the enemy to lure them.
And Wei Yan's cry also proved what his judgment was.
Under the guidance of the sound of drums, 20,000 Han troops quickly walked out of the dense forest and formed their formation.
Seeing that all 20,000 Han troops had been assembled, Wei Yan excitedly drew out the long sword from his waist, and flashed the sword towards Chang'an. At the same time, Wei Yan's shouts also rang in the ears of the Han generals:
"The whole army charges!"
After issuing this general order, Wei Yan rushed towards Chang'an City first.
General Zhang, don't panic, I'm coming!
Encouraged by Wei Yan, the 20,000 Han troops roared in unison and followed Wei Yan towards Chang'an City.
When the 20,000 Han troops no longer covered up their tracks and headed towards Chang'an City, the Wei troops on the walls of Chang'an quickly noticed the Han troops' movements.
Seeing that 20,000 Han troops were either armed with weapons or several carrying a small boat heading towards them, the Wei army had a look of horror on their faces.
They were originally responsible for guarding the city wall, but their attention was attracted by the movements below.
They never imagined that at this moment, the Han army would suddenly launch an attack on Chang'an City.
Soon this shocking news reached Cao Zhang's ears from the city wall.
After learning that the worst-case scenario he predicted had happened, Cao Zhang's nose was almost twisted with anger.
At the same time, Cao Zhang looked at Zhang He with eyes filled with resentment.
But now, Cao Zhang must make a choice.
Either continue to lead the army to attack Zhang He, or lead the army to support the city wall.
When it comes to personal emotions, Cao Zhang will definitely choose the first one.
But Cao Zhang is the commander-in-chief of Chang'an City, and he must take the overall situation into consideration!
So Cao Zhang quickly ordered the sergeants behind him to give up the pursuit of Zhang He and rush to the city wall to support him as soon as possible.
Just now, in order to pursue Zhang He, Cao Zhang's and Zhang He's troops were fighting together. How could the two teams be completely separated for a while?
And just when Cao Zhang was extremely anxious, the several miles of distance were quickly crossed by the galloping force of 20,000 Han troops.
When he led his army to the wide moat outside Chang'an City, Wei Yan quickly ordered the Han army to bring forward the small boats they carried.
Under Wei Yan's order, hundreds of small boats soon covered the wide surface of Chang'an City's moat.
After placing the boat, Wei Yan led thousands of people who dared to die and boarded the boat first.
Then the thousands of Han troops used the blades in their hands as paddles and quickly rowed the wooden boats under their feet towards the other side.
The well-prepared Han army came, which panicked the Wei army on the city wall.
The moat's original function is to serve as the first line of defense for the city.
The moat of Chang'an City was specially widened by Cao Cao back then. The wide water surface has always been a moat that Cao Zhang was proud of.
Cao Zhang is not wrong to be proud.
But no matter how good the natural moat is, someone still needs to guard it.
At present, Cao Zhang has not yet reached the city wall. Without anyone to command him, how can the Wei army on the wall be expected to block the Han army that is crossing the river?
Cao Zhang, who had just arrived at the steps of the city wall, also heard the exclamations coming from the city wall.
After learning that the Han army was crossing the moat, Cao Zhang staggered and almost fell to the ground.
But in the end, Cao Zhang stabilized his figure and galloped to the top of the city wall at the fastest speed in his life.
When Cao Zhang came to the city wall, what he saw in his eyes made his expression change drastically.
I have to say that the Han army's rowing speed was really fast.
It doesn't take long to imagine that thousands of Han troops will be able to cross the moat.
After realizing this, Cao Zhang had completely forgotten about hunting down Zhang He.
He immediately commanded the Wei army on the city wall and launched a dense rain of arrows to block the Han army from continuing to fight for the crossing.
When the arrows on the city wall fell into the formation of thousands of Han troops, the unprepared Han troops soon suffered a lot of casualties because they were focused on fighting for the crossing.
As screams of injury rang in his ears, Wei Yan's eyes became redder and redder.
When he left the Han army camp, Mi Yang summoned him alone.
Moreover, Mi Yang only said one sentence to him:
"I don't care about the number of casualties. What I want is Chang'an!"
Mi Yang's words still ring in my ears.
