Chapter 246 Chaos in the Eastern Capital, Northern Army Breakthrough
It was heard that the company suffered heavy losses, but Li Ru had no intention of taking care of these trivial matters.
In accordance with Dong Zhuo's request, Li Que led an army of 50,000 to approach Liu Bei's northern suburbs. There was a possibility of a misfire at any time.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo also asked Guo Si to capture Beigong, enter the province, and control the Queen Mother and Emperor Liu Xie.
Hu Chi'er, who had just recovered from his injuries, led his troops to drive nearly one million people from Dongdu to Chang'an, ranging from the powerful to the common people. Anyone who refused to comply was killed.
On November 8, Guo Si captured Beigong Province, and Li Ru issued an order to force the capital to be moved, causing an uproar in both the government and the public.
The Rumor Division used the power of the Liangzhou military to carry out a large-scale purge of Jinyi Guards, Xuanji Camp, Secret Reconnaissance Guards and even Tianlong Guards.
It’s hard to leave a poor family and leave a warm land. The relocation order is like a bolt from the blue to everyone living in Dongdu.
Imperial College students were the first to break out in resistance. A large number of Imperial College students rushed to the streets and rushed outside the Beigong Gate to petition Empress Dowager He, hoping that the court could stop Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior.
Guo Si saw hundreds of imperial students making impassioned speeches on the gate tower. Feeling that the situation was serious, he immediately reported to Li Ru, the commander-in-chief of relocating the capital.
Li Ru smiled contemptuously: "Is that so, what can you do with it? Hua Xiong, please go and remember, be polite first and then fight, don't follow the truth."
Hua Xiong understood Li Ru's subtext. He knew it was a dirty job, but because of the military order, he had to bite the bullet and accept the order.
Thousands of heavily armed soldiers surrounded the Tai students. Hua Xiong sat on his horse and warned condescendingly: "Leave quickly within a quarter of an hour and forget about it. Otherwise, you will be punished for violating the 'Capital Relocation Order'!"
At this time, there were thousands of nearby residents watching to petition the Tai students. Seeing the murderous spirit of the Liangzhou army, they couldn't help but worry about the Tai students and shouted for the children to evacuate quickly.
"Run quickly, it's too late!"
"When Maocai encounters soldiers, he can't explain why, so he'd better endure it!"
However, the vigorous Confucian student, in his prime, scolded Fang Qiu and was full of loyalty, preferring death to retreat.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Hua Xiong did not make a move.
Just when the students and onlookers were breathing a sigh of relief, a group of rogues suddenly broke into the middle of the Tai students and started a fight.
Tai students must learn the Six Arts of the Gentleman, and everyone knows how to use them, so they "fight each other".
There are more students than rogues, so the battle situation is one-sided.
However, the thugs suddenly changed their goals, throwing debris at Hua Xiong's men, and even snatched soldiers and weapons.
At this time, Hua Xiong pulled out his long sword and said: "This generation of lawless people are looking for opportunities to cause trouble, attack the army, defy the 'capital relocation order', and ignore our advice. In desperation, in order to restore social stability and order, the entire army immediately To quell the chaos, those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as the military order was issued, the army immediately rushed towards the students.
Anyone who resisted, hundreds of inner-level soldiers came forward with swords and guns, killing gods and ghosts. The outside of Nuo Da's Beigong Gate became a bloody place.
The outer soldiers drove away the onlookers, and even some who walked slowly came forward and slashed with swords, which was extremely brutal.
The true nature of horse thieves and bandits, as well as many horrific legends, are fully exposed.
Some things are beyond your control once they begin.
When the Tai students and onlookers were brutally murdered by Hua Xiong's men, Hu Chi'er's men also began an organized large-scale rape and robbery.
The first to suffer were the old people who were reluctant to part with their property because the capital move had to be completed within three days. Therefore, Liangzhou sergeants began to kill and establish their authority for the old people who were procrastinating and getting in the way.
Some soldiers were so evil that they not only broke into houses and robbed property, but also formed groups to rape women.
Hu Chi'er was injured and would not patrol around, so he did not stop the killing immediately
In the Eastern Capital City, the Liangzhou Army had the strongest fists. In order to frighten the Northern Army, Hu Chi'er deliberately relaxed his restraints even when his subordinates were acting recklessly.
Zhang Fei and Pang De received the order to move the capital and couldn't believe it. How dare you order the Northern Army?
However, the Northern Army of more than 3,000 people was unable to compete with the 70,000 to 80,000 Liangzhou Army, and could not stop the Liangzhou Army's coup at all.
In particular, Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan surrounded the five schools of the Northern Army in the camp with a total of nearly ten thousand people, and even dragged in several artillery pieces.
At this moment, Zhang Fei realized the danger and discussed with Pang De, planning to kill him in a bloody way.
"What the hell, Fatty Dong is going crazy!"
Pang De frowned and said: "Now that Dongdu is in chaos, those guys in Liangzhou will definitely not let us go."
"Do it!" Zhang Fei slammed the table, stood up, and cursed: "These idiots actually dare to plot against the Northern Army, gather the entire army, and kill them!"
Pang De hesitated for a moment and asked: "Yide, think about it first, where to go?"
"Go to Beijiao Bieyuan and meet up with Zhao Yun and Ma Chao."
Pound smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid it won't work. Zhang Ji's cannon is in the north and can't be used in the city."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment. Li Ru calculated accurately and knew that Zhang Fei would definitely go north, so he set up heavy troops in the north.
"What do you think? Stay in the camp?"
"No!" Pang De is very clear-headed. The Liangzhou Army will not stop if they show their face. It is absolutely impossible to stay.
"Go south, defeat Duan Xuan, and don't worry after crossing the Luohe River."
"That's it! These sons of bitches, if you don't give them any strength, they think I'm easy to bully!"
The five schools of the Northern Army quickly assembled and prepared for a breakout.
When Duan Xuan saw him, Zhang Fei wanted to do something hard, so he quickly notified Zhang Ji to attack.
Zhang Ji took a telescope and looked at Zhang Fei's deployment, which was a little strange.
"It seems that the black man is going south? Well, tell Lao Duan to hold on first, and I will be there later."
After nearly half a year of training by Zhang Fei and Pang De, the combat effectiveness of the five schools of the Northern Army has improved a lot, and their equipment is top-notch.
Pang De took the lead in leading the armored cavalry to clear the way, and was guarded by Yue cavalry on both sides. Shooting Changshui was in the middle to suppress the formation. Zhang Fei led the heavy armored infantry to the rear, and the entire army attacked Duan Xuan's line in order.
Duan Yan's army totaled nearly 4,000 people. He was ordered to encircle the Northern Army, but he only hastily built some barricades. Crossbowmen were placed on the rooftops of the residents on both sides, condescending and ready.
However, seven hundred armored cavalry rumbled in, and Duan Yan was restrained.
The dark armored cavalry shone with a metallic luster in the sun, like wild beasts, showing off their sharp claws.
At a hundred steps, the Northern Army's heavy cavalry started to speed up.
Seventy steps, speed up.
Thirty steps, sprint!
Seven hundred heavy cavalry galloped, like a torrent of steel, overwhelming the simple barricade in an instant.
The Liangzhou sergeants behind the barricade woke up from the shock and ran away in terror. Many people had no time to dodge and were trampled into flesh and blood.
Seven hundred Vietnamese cavalry battalions, seamlessly connected, quickly followed the heavy cavalry and started shooting at enemy shooters everywhere.
After rushing through the barricade, the entire street was littered with dead and wounded, and the remaining Liangzhou sergeants huddled under the eaves in the corner, shivering.
The Shesheng Changshui Battalion took turns to cover, moved forward quickly, and sniped at the few remaining enemies.
When the heavy armored infantry, led by Zhang Fei, slowly passed the barricade, Zhang Jicai followed.
Looking at the back of the Northern Army heading south, Zhang Ji asked: "Old Duan, the emperor's reputation as a personal soldier is well-deserved!"
Seeing Zhang Ji arriving late, Duan Xuan's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he couldn't stand it for even a quarter of an hour, and he would only be humiliating himself if he spoke out.
"Lao Zhang, you go chase me, I have to clean up for a while..."
Zhang Ji is not stupid. Zhang Fei and Pang De are like a hedgehog covered in thorns. He has no good teeth and he is the one who suffers when he fights.
Therefore, he took his time and followed Zhang Fei all the way to Jinmen.
Pound, who arrived early, had cleared the city gate guards, rearranged the defense lines, opened the sluices, requisitioned all ships, and transported soldiers and horses across the river.
Along the way, the Northern Army was so powerful that all the Liangzhou Army personnel gave in. As a result, a large number of residents took the opportunity to escape from the custody of the Liangzhou Army and followed the Northern Army to Jinmen, hoping to ask for help from the Northern Army's commander and take them across the river with them.
Escape.
