"Let me tell you generals that Liu Chengshou is willing to open the city and let you go!"
As soon as the allied forces of the five princes arrived dozens of miles away from Cheng'an City, they received the good news from the pioneers. Everyone was overjoyed. However, the Yizhou army led by the King of Hanzhong was now about to bypass Chang'an. If we don't hurry up, we will still be able to return.
It was really impossible to catch up. Thinking of this, the five princes reached a consensus and immediately ordered to march with all their strength and pass through Chang'an City at full speed!
When the allied forces of the princes arrived at Chang'an City, they saw only some troops standing sparsely on the city wall more than ten feet high, and flags embroidered with the character "Liu" every 100 meters, fluttering in the wind, in front of the tall and majestic Chang'an City Gate.
At this time, dozens of people were waiting quietly, and the city gates were wide open in a welcoming manner. However, compared to the size of Chang'an, the western capital, the momentum seemed a little too small!
"Welcome all princes to come, all princes have pursued you for thousands of miles and are tired of running around, but your character is admired by the world!"
Five princes, Gongsun Zan, the Marquis of Pingxiang, Yuan Yi, the Marquis of Yangxiang, Qiao Mao, the Marquis of Dongxiang, Hou Kong of Yu County, and Han Fu, the Marquis of Ji County, were in front of the formation and took the lead in arriving at the gate of Chang'an City. Dozens of people wearing official uniforms immediately shouted enthusiastically and humbly.
Welcome!
"That's great. Thank you for coming to welcome me!"
Seeing the city of Chang'an right in front of him, Hou Kong of Yu County responded excitedly. All the princes had a tacit understanding. Regarding the pursuit of the King of Hanzhong, everyone was really trying their best to pursue the enemy's wealth at first. However, after experiencing several setbacks,
, the five princes have regarded chasing the King of Hanzhong as an additional gain. The best way to achieve their goal is to occupy Chang'an, the western capital that has not experienced the baptism of war. Although there is only one city in Chang'an, there are five princes, but as long as they obtain it,
Who is the leader, or whether the five are equal, will be decided internally at that time!
"Wait a minute, why are you waiting for these people to come to greet you? Why doesn't Marquis Xiangben come in person?"
Dozens of people gave way in front of the city gate. As the princes from afar were about to enter, Gongsun Zan frowned and suddenly said!
"Informing the Marquis of Pingxiang, my lords have hosted a banquet in the mansion to wait for you all. You all are so tired from coming afar and have not rested for a while along the way. Naturally, you need to rest and recuperate first!"
The leader, who was over fifty years old and had a white beard, had a flattering smile on his face. He nodded and bowed and said continuously!
"The Marquis of Xiangben is interested! But let's postpone the banquet for now. It won't be too late to finish the business!"
Hanfu, the Marquis of Hebei County, smiled and said lightly. After saying that, he started to move on his horse. However, he saw that Gongsun Zan was still frowning and thinking, showing no signs of moving forward. He couldn't help but wink at Gongsun Zan and said:
"What is Bogui worried about? This is a critical period. We are racing against time. The priority is to advance quickly. You must know that two million troops are not 20,000 or 200,000. It will take a long time to pass!"
"kindness!"
Gongsun Zan naturally knew what Han Fu was thinking, as he was also a prince, and he also knew the implication. No matter what happened to Liu Yu, it was better to send troops in first. As long as the army entered, Chang'an City would lose the majestic city wall that it could rely on most.
With more than two million troops in hand, I am not afraid of how much trouble Liu Yu will make. Take a step back and think about it. Even if Liu Yu has bad intentions, as long as he is careful and does not go to the banquet, he will have a million troops in Chang'an City.
It is not the opponent of our own five-way coalition. Moreover, the King of Hanzhong will now bypass Chang'an territory. If he does not race against time, it will be too late. Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan no longer thinks about it. He clamps his legs and walks slowly inward.
!
"The bandit army is right in front of us. During this critical period, no time can be wasted. We will go first! Forgive me!"
Seeing Gongsun Zan nodding, Dongxiang Hou Qiao Mao turned to look at the official who greeted him. He left the Chang'an officials behind without waiting for the official's reaction. He immediately mounted his horse and whipped his horse and ran towards the city first, followed by the army behind him. Flowing into the city like a tide...
"Drive, drive..."
"Go, go, go..."
A burst of shouts resounded through the vast Chang'an City. The sound of dense horse hooves was like rolling thunder, reverberating between heaven and earth. Countless troops galloped quickly on the wide streets of Chang'an City like a tide...
The intensive sound of horse hooves struck the hearts of everyone in Chang'an City, as if foretelling the fierceness of the storm in the future, making everyone's heart beat faster and excited...
"General Yan, do you feel anything is wrong?"
As the four princes rushed forward, Gongsun Zan took a look at Chang'an, the western capital. It deserves to be called the western capital together with the eastern capital Luoyang. The buildings in the city are stacked with mountains, towering buildings and numerous pavilions. It's just an ominous feeling. The premonition made Gongsun Zan's eyes twitch and his heart skip a beat. He couldn't help but look at Yan Gang, his most capable general, and asked!
"Yeah! It's a little bit. With the prosperity of Chang'an, the western capital, it shouldn't be so cold! But in this tense period with wars and chaos, and in addition to the fact that the whole city of Chang'an was under martial law a few days ago, it's not surprising that it's colder!"
Hearing Gongsun Zan's question, Yan Gang was startled, turned around and looked around before speaking out. It was not that there was no one there, but occasionally a small group of people could be seen in the streets and alleys, but compared to such a prosperous Western Capital, It’s just a bit inconsistent, but Yan Gang still found an excuse!
"kindness!"
Gongsun Zan responded, looking at some of the civilians who were peeping at the rushing army. Thinking about it, he still looked at the four princes beside him and said:
"Dear Lords, would you like Bogui to stay in Chang'an?"
"Hmph! Pingxiang Hou, don't forget that we had an agreement at the beginning. Do you want to make the four of me enemies? Why don't I stay in Chang'an and you go after me?"
As soon as Gongsun Zan finished speaking, the expressions of the four princes all changed, and they looked at Gongsun Zan with wary eyes. Yuan Yi, the Marquis of Yangxiang, snorted heavily and said sarcastically. The five people did have an agreement at the beginning, that is, the five of them would join forces first. We have to decide how to deal with it after capturing Chang'an City. Therefore, even though they are an alliance, they are also very wary of each other. This is an unavoidable major drawback of the alliance!
"Everyone has misunderstood. It's not what everyone thinks. So let's do this. Let's each leave an army in Chang'an as a precaution! Don't you all have the slightest feeling that something is wrong?"
Gongsun Zan, who was frightened and frightened, made a slip of the tongue for a moment. As soon as he said the words, he realized that it was really inappropriate, so he immediately changed his suggestion!
"Yes! What Pingxiang Hou said is reasonable, but it is too unfounded. Might is the truth. As long as our army enters the city, we are not afraid of Liu Yu harboring evil intentions. Let's do it! Each of our five parties will leave 50,000 troops to guard the city gate. It is enough , any more will affect the battle. If there is an unexpected situation, 250,000 troops will be enough to support the army until the army calls back!"
Hanfu, the Marquis of Hebei County, thought for a moment and then said slowly!
"So good!"
Gongsun Zan obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the only way. If you persist in your opinion, if you don't say anything else, you will first have to face the attack of the four princes, and you will be in an extremely dangerous position!"
"Okay! Stop thinking nonsense, everyone. The army has entered the city. For now, it is better to pursue the Yizhou army!"
Yangxiang Hou Yuan Yi frowned and interrupted!
"Military emergency, hurry up and open the city! If you delay the military situation, you will be dealt with according to military law!"
When the vanguard of the five princes' coalition forces arrived at the west gate of Chang'an City, they found that the west gate was closed, so they shouted loudly!
Chang'an City is more than a hundred miles long from east to west (the actual length of Chang'an City is 8,651 meters from north to south, including the thickness of the two city walls. It is 972 meters long from east to west, has a circumference of about 355 kilometers, and an area of about 84 square kilometers. It must be exaggerated here, but you don't need to
Let’s delve deeper into this). From the east city gate to the west city gate, the five-way coalition army marched dozens of people side by side. The troops along the road were densely packed, like a migrating ant colony. At this time, the coalition army of more than two million princes had entered 90%. Looking down from the air, it looked like a
The black river runs through Chang'an City!
"Chi, chi..."
"Lord, be careful!"
As soon as the shouts of the coalition of princes ended, several harsh and sharp sounds broke through the air, and several loud shouts began!
"Dong, dong, dong..."
A burst of intense and loud war drums resounded throughout the vast Chang'an City, ringing from all directions at the same time...
"Ah, ah..."
After several screams, the guard of Hou Kong from Yu County had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stood in front of Kong. A cold light passed by, directly penetrated the body of the guard and Kong's body, and shot into the body of a guard behind Kong. The three of them were killed at the same time.
The Marquis of Yangxiang, Yuan Yi, did not have such a good life. No one helped him block the arrow. A cold light flashed, and Yuan Yi's vision went dark. He lost consciousness and fell off his horse! The Marquis of Pingxiang, Gongsun Zan, was not weak in strength.
In time, he swung his sword and knocked away the sharp arrows. However, Dongxiang Hou Qiaomao and Ji County Hou Hanfu were blocked by the guards and blocked the sharp arrows for him. They did not kill two birds with one stone!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Numerous black spots suddenly appeared on the rooftops of the attic on both sides of the wide street, and a cold light flashed on the hands. Before the allied forces of the princes could react, a rain of arrows fell down, and the sky was filled with sharp arrows and cold light streaking!
"No! I fell into a trap!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"The enemy is on the roof, fire back from the room!"
"Mom! Run!"
"Captain xx, lead the army into the streets and deal with the enemy!"
"Quick! Disperse into the streets!"
Suddenly attacked by a continuous rain of arrows, the attacker almost did not need to aim. As long as the room was in the room, he could definitely shoot the target. The coalition of princes suddenly became a mess, shouting, crying, screaming, cursing... and so on.
There were sounds one after another, and the situation was as chaotic as fucking boiling water! Two waves of arrows rained down, and tens of thousands of coalition forces fell in an instant. Except for the densely packed archers on both sides of the street, it was not known how many troops were attacking...
The cold light whistled and brought a tide of blood, and the autumn wind enveloped the crying souls...
