Chapter 186 Attacking Xianyang

"General! Military information is sent!" A soldier rode his horse not far from Xue Bing, and shouted loudly.

Xue Bing turned around and happened to see the cavalry running towards him, so he slowed down a little. When the soldier approached, he asked, "Where is the military newspaper?"

The soldier replied, "It was sent from the King of Hanzhong in Tianshui. It was sent to Chang'an City. After General Zhang saw it, he immediately rushed over with his subordinates and sent it to General Xue's office."

Xue Bing nodded, took the military newspaper into his hand and started reading.

But after a moment, I saw everything that was told inside. I frowned and raised my head. I saw Deng Zhi looking at him with a questioning look, so I said to him: "The king sent two generals, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, to lead a group of troops to Tuxiliang. I didn't want to be defeated by Cheng Gongying, the prefect of Wuwei of Xiliang, for a while, and the place I was trying to be lost again.

The king is now on General Zhang Fei and General Ma Chao stationed troops in Longyou, confronting Cheng Gongying and Cao Hong's troops."

Deng Zhi was shocked when he heard this, but it was because of the Northern Expedition of King Liu Bei of Hanzhong. Whether it was the capture of Chang'an or the troops leaving the Xigu, even the battle situation in Jingzhou was smooth and there was no failure at all.

I didn't expect that Xiliang, who seemed to be the most dangerous, actually called Ma Chao. The two generals Huang Zhong suffered a loss. I couldn't help but be surprised and asked again: "I wonder how Ma Chao and Huang Zhong are?"

When Xue Bing heard this question, she couldn't help but sigh, shook her head and replied: "General Ma Chao is fine, but although General Huang escaped, he injured his arms. He may never be able to go into battle to kill the enemy again in the future."

It turned out that although the military newspaper only had a few words, it briefly explained the matters in the northwest and even briefly explained everything afterwards.

But he said that although Huang Zhong was rescued by Ma Chao, he saved his life. He had only fought hard for a long time and had countless wounds on his body, so he naturally had to take good care of himself.

After the doctor examined Huang Zhong, he immediately sighed: "General Huang's arms have been damaged.

He was also old and weak, and his arms were no longer lifted up the sword to cut the generals!" After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, leaving only Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong with big eyes.

Afterwards, Zhang Fei immediately escorted Huang Zhong to Tianshui and wrote the doctor's words in the letter to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei received the letter, he checked Huang Zhong with his accompanying doctor.

The final result is still the same sentence: "The strength of both arms is exhausted and the muscles and bones is damaged, and the strength is gone!"

As for now, Huang Zhong's arms, which could easily open four stone bows, were even unable to handle the water bowl. Although the doctor once said that he would have been in good health for several months of recuperation. However, it was impossible to carry a knife into battle again.

When Liu Bei heard these words with his own ears, he didn't know how to comfort Huang Zhong. A general, but he could no longer go to the battlefield due to injury. This may be the greatest sorrow of a general.

Just when the King of Hanzhong didn't know what to do, Huang Zhong smiled and said, "I am nearly 70 years old and can still make contributions to the king. I have no regrets in this life! Now that I have lost my fighting power, I am willing to resign and return to my hometown. I am raising my old age. I hope the king will be grateful."

Liu Bei said immediately: "Since the old general was with his orphan, he has made many military achievements and helped him to seize the land of Xichuan. He has now killed several generals Cao in front of the formation. Now the old general is not able to kill the enemy himself, and he is not a useless person.

How could he say he would resign from his official position?” So he did not follow Huang Zhong’s request, but just comforted him to recover from his injuries. He also wrote down Huang Zhong’s military achievements and was promoted to reward after the war.

Seeing that he had become disabled, Liu Bei was still very grateful to his close confidants. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, the king, and you will not abandon Zhong." Xie Bo said, "However, Zhong has no combat power, so it is useless to leave this. Now you want to return to Chengdu to rest, and I hope you will be sure of your grace."

"But Huang Zhong thought that it was useless to keep this. It would be better to go back to Chengdu to rest as soon as possible, and he could also go to Yan Yan or go to Xue Mansion to teach Xue Ning.

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, comforted him for a while, then called Chen Dao, and arranged his men and escorted Huang Zhong back to Chengdu...

When Xue Bing received this report, Huang Zhong had already entered the middle of the river. He had left Tianshui for a long time. At this time, he had estimated secretly in his heart and said to himself: "I think Huang Zhong had already entered the middle of the river at this time.

It's not far from Chengdu!" Then I thought of helping Huang Zhong make suggestions so that he could follow the army to fight north, but almost killed his life. Although he saved his life, he injured his arms. I really don't know what to do if he meets Huang Zhong in the future.

Although Huang Zhong was injured this time, the big reason was that he was more than underestimating the enemy. If it really came down, it should be considered a cause for his own fault and it had nothing to do with Xue Bing.

But after all, it was Xue Bing who recommended Huang Zhong to come with the army. If Xue Bing hadn't made any suggestions, Liu Bei would not have brought him, so he still felt a little guilty.

Just as Xue Bing was leading his troops to think about these things, he suddenly heard Deng Zhi beside him say to him: "General, the front is not far from Xianyang. It's too late today. Should we go to the camp to rest and attack the city tomorrow?"

Xue Bing was stunned for a moment before she realized it. After looking around, she said, "I will set up a camp for the time being today, and then send a horse to check forward and then decide whether to attack the city tomorrow."

Xianyang was originally the ancient capital of the Qin Dynasty. It was originally a large and strong city that counted throughout the Central Plains.

However, after Xiang Yu captured the city, a fire burned it clean. Although the city was restored during the Han Dynasty, it was no longer as prosperous as before.

In addition, the restored Xianyang was also classified as under the Chang'an system, from a large city at the level of the imperial capital to an ordinary prefecture county.

Now, Xue Bing led three thousand soldiers to stand in front of the east gate of Xianyang, looking at the ancient capital of the previous dynasty, thinking about how to seize this city.

After Xu Zhi led his troops to attack Chang'an but failed, he led his troops to retreat to Wugong. On the way, he left a thousand soldiers and horses in Xianyang, while he led the remaining four thousand soldiers to camp in Wugong County.

There were nearly a thousand defenders left in Xianyang, and the 1,000 troops left by Xu Zhi, although the number was less than two thousand, it was enough to resist ordinary attacks.

Moreover, according to the information Xu Zhi had originally obtained, there were only a few thousand Sichuan troops in Chang'an City. Those soldiers were struggling to defend a Chang'an, so where did they get the extra troops to attack this place? The main army of the King of Hanzhong is now on the line of Tianshui, blocked by General Hao Zhao of Chen Cang and Xu Huang's army of Qin Chuan, and could not even advance.

Not to mention increasing troops in Chang'an. Therefore, Xu Zhi never worried about the military force in Xianyang.

But he did not expect that in Xue Bing's plan, Chang'an's rule and defense were completely accomplished by the troops along Hanzhong.

The Wei Yan's army suddenly broke out from the slim valley and put Hao Zhao of Chen Cang into a dilemma of being attacked on both sides. Now, under the attack of two armies, there is a tendency to be gradually lost. The emergency document hit Qin Chuan's Xu Huang's tent like snowflakes.

However, Xu Huang's army was also confronting the Sichuan army in Jieting. Tens of thousands of troops were already in Cao Hong, and there were already all the troops that could be used. No matter how small it was, I was afraid that Qinchuan would not be able to defend it.

Otherwise, when his son Xu Zhi returned to his army to capture Chang'an, how could he lead only five thousand troops? It was because there was no more remaining troops available in his hands.

As a result, although Chen Cang was in a frequent emergency, Qin Chuan never responded. At most, he could only send a letter back, with the word "persistence".

The situation on the Western Front is so urgent, so of course I have no more energy to take care of the defense situation in Xianyang. In addition, this area is the hinterland of Guanzhong, and its defense is weak. The entire area relies on several outer areas as barriers.

I thought there was no battle to attack the inside without breaking the outside?

But Xue Bing led a few soldiers and horses to sneak into the hinterland of Guanzhong first, seize Chang'an, and pointed directly at Xianyang and other places. Then, after obtaining the troops in Hanzhong, he immediately sent troops to take all the hinterlands of Guanzhong first.

But this is a tactic of internal and external.

Looking at the soldiers at hand, they climbed to the top of Xianyang City one after another. Xue Bing's face that had been numb for nearly a day and a night finally showed a smile.

At this time, it was just dawn, but he had been sitting on the road for a day and night, his eyes just staring straight at the city wall in the distance.

In order to capture Xianyang, Xue Bing divided the soldiers in his hands into three echelons and attacked the city in turn. But every time he just shouted, rushed, and then retreated back to safety as soon as he confronted him.

After not having enough rest, the second echelon shouted and rushed up again...

After going back and forth, I went back and forth for a day and night. When the sky gradually became brighter, the Xianyang defenders were most tired. Xue Bing finally asked his soldiers to be serious and launched a real attack on the Xianyang city wall.

After an hour of siege, many Sichuan soldiers had already stood on the top of Xianyang City and had initially seized the east wall of Xianyang City.

Seeing this scene, Xue Bing immediately moved his arm that seemed to have fallen out of stiffness and whispered: "Second Echelon, Attack!" But before the words were finished, the east gate of Xianyang was opened.

But I don’t know which soldier actually took the city gate.

Since the city gate was opened, Xue Bing naturally had no need to continue to play sculptures. He was shocked and immediately ordered: "The city gate has been opened, and the entire army is attacking!" Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out.

The soldiers around the left and right reacted quickly and immediately rushed forward with Xue Bing.

But Xue Bing was riding a horse after all. Although there were a few knights in the army, they were not as fast as the Red Rabbit Horse. So in the blink of an eye, Xue Bing had already rushed out twenty steps away and left the soldiers for a short distance.

In fact, it was not that Xue Bing was ungrateful and had never noticed his speed at controlling the soldiers. It was that he had his own considerations in his heart.

At this time, the city wall had not yet been completely occupied, so the city gate had not yet completely fallen into his own hands. The city gate opened, probably an accident in the melee.

It is really hard to be sure how long it can be opened. Perhaps the troops I brought rushed to the city gate, and the gate was taken back by the Xianyang defenders and closed again.

Therefore, he was ready to rush into the city gate as fast as possible and rely on his own force to guard the city gate. He just needed to hold on for a while and put his troops into the city.

After considering this, Xue Bing swung the blood dragon halberd, holding the long halberd, and her whole body was almost on the back of the horse. She saw that the city gate was right in front of her, and the two doors were gradually closing.

He shouted loudly: "Everyone can dodge my way! Those who close their doors will die!"

The Red Rabbit Horse seemed to understand what the owner meant, but the speed of running was a little faster.
