The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 398
Inside Chang'an City.
Huangfu Li did not know that Anyi City had been breached, nor did he know that Zhou Cheng had also arrived with his army.
At this time, Huangfu Li was patrolling in Chang'an City.
The city walls need to be repaired, and at the same time, the young men in the city also need to receive certain combat training.
Huangfu Li had already made plans to occupy the city and defend it.
However, what made Huangfu Li a little confused was that the Zhou army's offensive had slowed down recently and was not as fierce as the Montenegrin army.
Could it be that the Zhou army was preparing for a larger-scale offensive?
Huangfu Li lacked Huangfu Song's decisiveness in commanding troops to fight.
If it were Huangfu Song, he would definitely leave the city at night and attack the Zhou army's camp.
However, Huangfu Li was not Huangfu Song, and he missed an excellent opportunity.
When Zhou Cheng led his army to the outside of Chang'an City, there was panic in Chang'an City.
Zhou Cheng was invincible and victorious.
Now that Zhou Cheng personally went to supervise the battle outside Chang'an City, can Chang'an City still be defended?
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Cheng arrived outside Chang'an City, he ordered an attack on the city.
More than 30,000 prisoners of war organized into a death fighting battalion and began to attack the city.
Behind the death battle camp were the Zhou troops who had raised their crossbows.
If the Death Fighting Battalion dared to retreat, they would be mercilessly shot by arrows.
The prisoners could only bite the bullet and fight towards Chang'an City.
Whoosh!!!
Arrows kept flying to the top of the city.
Stone bullets weighing dozens of kilograms hit the city head mercilessly.
The defenders on the city suffered heavy casualties.
This was the first time for Ma Chao to watch the Zhou army attack the city from close range.
When the Zhou army attacked the city, they used a dense offensive to suppress the city head to protect the infantry from quickly approaching the city wall.
With the help of the trench bridge, the ladder was quickly set up, and some of the soldiers began to climb to the top of the city with their swords in their mouths.
At this time, Zhang Liao said to Zhou Cheng:"My lord, Huangfu Li is good at guarding. It may not be easy to break Chang'an City."
Zhou Cheng did not answer Zhang Liao.
On the top of the city, people kept falling down the city wall, and some were on fire, screaming and rolling on the ground.
Zhou Cheng said:"Continue to attack the city, no need to worry about casualties."
The more than 30,000 Lu Bu army prisoners in the death battle camp increased food consumption.
If they can't make meritorious deeds, then what's the use of Zhou Cheng raising them?
……
Sunrise and sunset.
From mid-February to the end of February, it lasts ten days.
However, Zhou Cheng was still attacking Chang'an.
Chang'an is a fortified city. As long as the generals in charge and the soldiers and civilians in the city work together, it will not be easy to break.
But since Zhou Cheng had ordered to attack the city, he would not give up halfway.
However, when Zhou Cheng stormed Chang'an, bad news came from Chencang.
Yan Liang led an army of 20,000 men and stormed Chencang.
Chencang's defenders only had 3,000 people, and they were holding on.
Zhou Cheng immediately sent Zhang Liao and Dian Wei with ten thousand troops to rescue Chencang.
At the same time, Zhou Cheng adopted Guo Jia's suggestion and sent Zhang He to lead 10,000 troops to invade Liangzhou and attack Tianshui.
Jia Xu suggested that Zhou Cheng could win over Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan is now cornered by Yuan Shang and is in desperate need of help.
If Zhou Cheng can help Yuan Tan, then Yuan Tan will definitely turn to Zhou Cheng.
And wooing Yuan Tan intensified the internal conflicts of the Yuan family.
Zhou Cheng thought for a while and then adopted Jia Xu's strategy.
So Zhou Cheng sent an envoy to Anding City.
When the envoy arrived at Anding City, Yuan Tan didn't want to see him.
However, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others advised Yuan Tan:"My lord, the Zhou thieves are powerful and they will capture Yongzhou sooner or later. It would be unwise to make an enemy of them now." After hearing this,
Yuan Tan also felt that what Guo Tu said was reasonable. , and summoned Zhou Cheng's envoy.
Zhou Cheng's envoy brought Zhou Cheng's personal letter.
The messenger said:"This is a letter written by my Lord."
Guo Tu took the letter and handed it over to Yuan Tan.
After reading the contents of the letter, Yuan Tan couldn't help but widen his eyes and said with an expression of disbelief:"Is this true?"
The messenger replied:"My Lord is absolutely telling no lies."
Guo Tuhe Shen Pei and Xin Critic, take a closer look.
The letter promised Yuan Tan to be the shepherd of Yongzhou, and be granted the title of Marquis of Gaoling, so that he could retain his original army.
The conditions given by Zhou Cheng were really generous.
Therefore, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others also suspected that there was fraud.
The envoy said:"After some time, the emperor will issue an edict."
After hearing what the envoy said, Yuan Tan believed it.
At the same time, Zhou Cheng wrote another letter to Yuan Xi.
The letter promised that as long as Yuan Xi was willing to surrender, he would be granted the title of Mu of Yongzhou and Marquis of Gaoling, and he would also be allowed to retain the army.
Yuan Xi and Huangfu Li were allies.
When Chang'an was besieged, Yuan Xi stationed his troops in Zheng County.
Therefore, Zhou Cheng planned to use Yuan Xi as an internal agent to deceive the gate of Chang'an City.
……
When Zhou Cheng's envoy arrived in Zheng County, Yuan Xi immediately sent someone to greet him.
Although Zhou Cheng and Yuan Xi had a grudge against killing their father, now his elder brother Yuan Tan could not tolerate him, and his younger brother Yuan Shang could not let him go either.
If you want to survive, you must have someone to support you.
Originally, Huangfu Li could still be relied on, but Huangfu Li was trapped in Chang'an City.
It was only a matter of time before Chang'an was breached.
And the conditions Zhou Cheng is now offering are very generous.
Therefore, Yuan Xi was willing to surrender.
In March 199 AD, Yuan Xi led a small number of cavalry to Zhou Cheng's military camp.
All the weapons brought by Yuan Xi were confiscated, and the guards under his command were also left outside the camp. Only Yuan Xi entered the military camp.
When he saw Zhou Cheng, Yuan Xi immediately saluted, bowed and said:"Greetings to Da Sima."
