Ma Teng led his troops into Chang'an, and chaos broke out in the city.
On the other side, after Zhang Xiu led his troops to leave, he had already met Wang Can and was leading his troops to intercept Wang Can's army.
Zhang Xiu led three thousand Xiliang elite cavalry, who were brave and good at fighting and very powerful. These cavalry were trained by Zhang Xiu himself and were loyal soldiers who were loyal to Zhang Xiu.
The two armies met and fought for a while.
During the battle, Zhao Yun did not fight, and Wang Can only sent Huang Zhong and Dian Wei. They were so fierce and domineering that Zhang Xiu was defeated.
Despite this, Zhang Xiu still fought and retreated instead of retreating directly.
Zhang Xiu fought with Wang Can, and the fight was very frustrating and depressing. Although everyone in his cavalry was fearless and brave enough to fight, they could not defeat Wang Can's cavalry just because of their momentum.
The Xiliang Army cavalry relies on riding skills to control their horses, but Pojunying has saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, which gives them an absolute advantage. At the same time, the weapons of the Xiliang Army cavalry are ordinary steel knives, while the Pojunying cavalry's spears are made of Pu Yuan
It was forged by someone, sharp and tough; in addition, the marksmanship of the soldiers in Pojun camp was taught by Zhao Yun himself, so every soldier was very powerful, even the Xiliang soldiers could not defeat them.
As a result, the Xiliang cavalry could not stop the cavalry from breaking the barracks.
Zhang Xiu lost consecutive battles and kept retreating.
The battle lasted only one day, and the three thousand cavalry under his command suffered 800 casualties and 2,000 serious injuries.
Such a record can be said to be a heavy casualty. According to this ratio, if he resists for two more days, he will squander all the cavalry under his command. Moreover, this is a situation where Zhang Xiu did not lead the troops and fought with Wang Can's army. If
Zhang Xiu led his troops to resist desperately, and all three thousand cavalry under his command were killed by Wang Can.
At night, there are stars.
The camp where the Xiliang army was stationed was brightly lit.
Outside the camp, rows of defensive horses were erected to prevent Wang Can from leading his troops to sneak attack.
The lights were brightly lit in the Chinese army's tent. Zhang Xiu was sitting in the tent, looking anxious, with a deep look of worry on his face. He no longer considered blocking Wang Can anymore, because after two years, Wang Can's
The force was even more fierce and difficult to resist. When he led the troops to pursue Wang Can two years ago, he fought with Dian Wei. At that time, he saw the power of Wang Can's army.
Now if they fight again, Zhang Xiu feels that the Xiliang army will be defeated.
At this time, Zhang Xiu was already considering where to retreat in order to save the army.
A simple map was placed on the desk. The names of the surrounding cities were marked on the map. Zhang Xiu calculated them one by one, carefully considering where to find a place to stay.
Wang Can attacked Chang'an, and it was obviously impossible for Zhang Xiu to stay.
Therefore, he had no choice but to withdraw from Chang'an. The question was where to settle down after leaving Chang'an, and that was what Zhang Xiu considered.
To the west is the territory of Ma Teng and Han Sui; to the north is the territory of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan; to the east is the territory of Cao Cao; to the south is the territory of Wang Can.
In these four places, Ma Teng and Han Sui occupied Xiliang when Dong Zhuo was alive. They were people who listened to orders but not propaganda, so it was difficult to defeat them; giants such as Cao Cao, Wang Can, and Yuan Shao were all overlords of one party, and it was difficult to have a place.
.In fact, Zhang Xiu could defect to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or even Wang Can, who once extended an olive branch to him, like Lu Bu did.
However, Zhang Xiu's pride did not allow him to surrender.
Just when Zhang Xiu was in a dilemma, his eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at the map.
Nanyang County, Wancheng!
This place, located in the southeast of Chang'an, is a good place.
Wancheng is located to the east of Yizhou, north of Jingzhou, west of Yuzhou, and south of Luoyang. The area borders Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Wang Can, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and other princes. No matter which prince they are, they all want to capture Wancheng.
, but it is impossible to send troops, because a single move can affect the whole body, and it cannot be a prince involved.
Therefore, it was a good place for Zhang Xiu to station in Wancheng. Zhang Xiu didn't know what the final outcome of stationing in Wancheng would be, but he knew that this was a place to stay.
The target is Wancheng.
After Zhang Xiu thought it through, he suddenly realized that he was going to make a false shot tomorrow, and then quickly rushed back to Chang'an and asked Zhang Ji to lead the troops to leave Luoyang and capture Wancheng as a foundation. At this time, Zhang Xiu no longer had any fight with Wang Can and Cao Cao.
For these people's fighting spirit, it would be a good idea to go to Wancheng to separate one side.
"Tap! Tread!"
There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and a school captain opened the door curtain and walked in.
Following closely behind the captain was a soldier with blood on his body.
This soldier was the soldier who escaped from Zhang Ji's mansion. He took advantage of the chaos in the city to escape from the south gate and rode overnight to Zhang Xiu's camp.
"General, something happened, something big happened!"
The soldier plopped down on his knees and shouted loudly.
Zhang Xiu frowned slightly and shouted: "What are you howling for? What happened? Please explain it carefully."
The soldier looked humble and respectful, and said with cupped hands: "Report to the general, the lord was killed by Ma Chao. Early this morning, Ma Teng led the troops into the city, and Ma Chao led the troops and killed the lord."
Zhang Xiu suddenly stood up, walked to the soldier, grabbed the soldier's clothes, and said, "How is that possible? The city of Chang'an is strong, and there is a large army in the city to resist it, so it cannot be broken." After a pause, Zhang
Xiu felt incredible and asked: "What happened? How was Chang'an City captured?"
The soldier looked horrified and told everything exactly.
When Yang Feng was mentioned, the soldiers gritted their teeth.
After Zhang Xiu heard this, he flew into a rage. He pulled out the long sword from his waist with a clang and chopped off the desk to vent his anger. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became and shouted angrily: "My dear Ma Chao, I will fight with you."
I swear to be disobedient, and I swear to kill you."
After hearing this, the captain's face changed drastically.
Chang'an has fallen, and returning to Chang'an is not a good thing!
At this time, the curtain of the camp tent was opened, and three more generals came out.
These three people are the three young generals under Zhang Xiu.
One of them is very strong, with a ferocious look and ugly face, and his name is Hu Che'er. He is extremely powerful, can carry five hundred kilograms, and can travel more than seven hundred miles a day. He is the first general under Zhang Xiu. The other two have the same name.
One is named Lei Xu, and the other is named Zhang Xian. Although the two are not as good at martial arts as Hu Che'er, their brains are much more flexible.
After the three people came in and asked what happened, their faces changed drastically.
Lei Xu thought about it, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, Chang'an was captured by Ma Teng. Wang Can and Cao Cao went to Chang'an. In order to fight for the emperor, they will definitely kill Ma Teng and kidnap the emperor. When the time comes, Ma Chao will be captured by Wang Can.
Or if Cao Cao kills him, the old general's revenge will naturally be avenged. Chang'an has been caught in a fight and cannot go back."
Zhang Xian continued: "General, there is no way forward and no way back, so you should make plans early."
Zhang Xiu's expression was changing, and his mood was extremely complicated. In his heart, he wanted to go back and kill Ma Chao, but the city of Chang'an was so strong that it was impossible to capture Chang'an in a short time without internal support. In addition, Wang Can was pressing behind him, and Zhang Xiu was
There is enough time to attack Chang'an, so the only choice is to leave and go to Wancheng.
Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said: "Pack up your gear and go straight to Qingni Pass overnight. Then go east and go straight to Wancheng. We will establish a foothold in Wancheng and take the opportunity to capture the entire Nanyang County."
"promise!"
After hearing this, several generals immediately agreed.
After the army packed up their belongings, they quietly left under the cover of night.
Zhang Xiu led his troops to withdraw, and Wang Can got the news immediately. However, he had not yet received the news from Chang'an. He wondered why Zhang Xiu retreated overnight?
