It was already dark, but Xiahou Wei, who was in Chang'an, was not calm. The recent situation has always been in a disadvantage for Cao Wei.

From the defeat of Ji County at the beginning to the defeat of the three counties in Longyou, Jieting, Chen Cang and Wei troops were defeated. Although there were small victories, in the overall situation, it was just a corner. In the entire Guanzhong battlefield, standing at the decision-making level beside Cao Zhen, the Wei army's control area was almost the only area of ​​Jingzhao in just under two months.

Although Xiliang is still in his hands and the Han army has indeed not attacked, in fact, there is no Wei army garrison for Xiliang at present. If this battle is defeated again and Jingzhao is lost, Xiliang will only be the treasure of the Han army.

However, these are not enough to make Xiahou Wei feel at a loss. The Great Wei occupied the Central Plains. As long as he reacted, reinforcements could arrive soon. But this was what Xiahou Wei was really worried about. It has been more than a month since the Han Dynasty sent troops to the present. According to time, the reinforcements from the court should have arrived long ago. But until now, Hangu Pass was seized by Liu Yi, and it was still motionless. The reinforcements of the Great Wei have not arrived for a long time. Although no one has ever said this, as time passed day by day, everyone actually had speculation in their hearts.

The war in Luoyang is probably not as optimistic as one imagined. Can Guan Yu and Liu Yi be handled by Brother Wen Lie? This is hard to say. Perhaps the reinforcements from Luoyang will not be able to catch up.

The night outside the window was a bit scary. When I walked outside the door, I saw the scenery in the city and the scene of lights in Chang'an. I saw only a dimness, just like the situation in Guanzhong, which made people unable to see the dawn.

Although the martial arts battle has not officially begun, the prospects are worrying. If the reinforcements of the court cannot arrive, the current performance of the Han army will probably be difficult to hold on for too long.

In the distance, the fire jumped a little under the night. Although it was just a flash, it was a little dazzling in such a quiet night.

Xiahou Wei, who was worried about the current situation, was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at it, but there was nothing unusual. Perhaps, some soldier was careless and lifted the brazier?

After pinching his eyebrows, the situation in Guanzhong has become more and more serious recently, which has made him feel a little nervous. At present, Chang'an is still relatively safe.

Without breaking the martial arts, it was unrealistic for the Han army to go around and run two hundred miles to attack Chang'an, unless there was another team specifically targeting Chang'an...

Xiahou Wei was a little uneasy by his sudden thoughts. He was not the kind of person who was too capable. Before the Han Dynasty's northern expedition, the court issued an edict to ask him to return to the court to protect him. Unfortunately, Hangu Pass was captured by Liu Yi, so Xiahou Wei naturally could not leave. Cao Zhen obviously did not expect him to help him fight to kill the enemy, so he left Xiahou Wei in Chang'an.

It is not possible to lead troops to fight wars, but in terms of governance, Xiahou Shi still has some abilities in this area. Moreover, if the war is not decided, Chang'an is relatively safe. However, when the war is over, Cao Zhen is preparing to send Xiahou Shi back to Yecheng. Xiahou Shi is really not suitable to stay on the front line, especially now that the Han Dynasty has begun to invade, staying here will easily help.

After looking over there for a moment, no abnormality was found. Xiahou shook his head and prepared to go back to the house to rest. Thinking about it, even if the Han army really came, he might be able to repel the Han army and prove to Cao Zhen that he was not incompetent. After all, he was also a person who had read military books and battle strategies, but he had never had the chance to show it. Just like now, he was worried about the situation in Luoyang, and he could see the situation clearly.

Shaking his head and sighed, Xiahou turned around and prepared to go back to bed. However, the next moment, the sound of trumpets on the city wall in the distance changed his expression.

I suddenly turned around and probably in the direction of the south city, a fire on a section of the city wall began to become scary, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of fighting.

"Quick! The enemy attacks!" Xiahou Qing didn't know what he was now, he was a little panicked, but with a little excitement, he was not slow to give the order.

The horn sounded in Chang'an City with a hurried hurricane. When Cao Zhen left, Chang'an left eight thousand defenders, which was not small, but compared to Chang'an City, it was still a bit thin.

With the help of his concubine, Xiahou Wei put on his armor and hurriedly led the guards in the mansion to run out. The fighting sounds on the other side of the city gate became more and more intense. The generals from all over the place also saw the situation here. With Xiahou Wei's order, they began to meet up with the south city.

When Xiahou Wei arrived, the city gate had been opened. Under the fire, a large number of Han troops wearing strange vine armor could be seen rushing in. The Wei army guarding the city rushed forward without showing any weakness. With a knife, the opponent was unscathed, but most of the Wei soldiers were killed by the opponent.

After just a while, the defense line organized at the city gate was completely destroyed by the enemy. The vine armor on the Han army was invulnerable to the sword and gun, and the rushing force was extremely crazy.

"How come these people are invulnerable to swords and guns!" Looking at the Han army that was rushing into the wildly, Xiahou Wei was a little scared. How could such a battle be fought?

"General, get out of here!" A general of Cao's army saw Xiahou Qi froze in place, and quickly rushed up and pounced Xiahou Qi directly from the horse's back.

Xiahou Wei was thrown into a dilemma and was about to scold him. But the next moment, he saw that his war horse was covered with arrows, twitching in a pool of blood.

A hint of chill rose from behind and instantly spread to the whole body. His face turned pale in this moment. He didn't care about complaining about the rude way of saving people by his soldiers. He rolled and crawled up and instinctively retreated.

The battlefield is much crueler than I imagined. If you are not careful, you may be killed as the main general. This is how many military books you have read. When you face the cruel scene, all the knowledge you have learned in the past is gone at this moment. All that is left is the fear of death, and your mind is even blank. You just want to stay away from all this.

The fight continued, and some Wei soldiers found that although these vine armor were invulnerable to swords and guns, they were afraid of fire. Several Han soldiers were ignited by the torches that the Wei soldiers instinctively waved in panic. They fell to the ground and rolled, but the less fire became bigger and bigger, and even ignited the Han soldiers around them.

Such accidents are prone to occur in night battles of the Fujijia Army, but this sporadic fire attack cannot help the overall situation at all, especially when the main general has lost his ability to think and has not even paid attention to this point at all, those who discovered this point only use it themselves, and then they are quickly shot and killed by the Han army with crossbow arrows.

The loss of the city gate has had a huge blow to the morale of the defenders. At this moment, the general has no idea. Just when he retreats, failure becomes inevitable.

Wei Yan, who had received the signal from the distance, led a large number of Han troops into the city gate. This time, the only one responsible for the raid was only two thousand vine armored troops. When Zhuge Liang sent Wei Yan to the expedition, he had already explained the shortcomings and shortcomings of the vine armored troops to him. This time, Wei Yan sent troops to attack Chang'an at night, and used vine armored troops only because the vine armor was light and it was easier to climb up the city wall with props. The main force's eight thousand soldiers were still normal. After the vine armored troops broke through the city gate, they would withdraw from the battlefield.

Although the Han army's armor is not as invulnerable as the vine armor, its defense is amazing. Generally, it cannot be cut without a single knife. It is not worse than the vine armor in terms of practicality. What's more important is that it does not have the obvious shortcomings of vine armor and can be used as surprise attacks, but don't really treat it as a treasure. This is Liu Yi's evaluation of vine armor at the time. Both Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan agree with this point.

The fight continued. After entering the city, the Han army did not rush to kill the enemy, but began to occupy some important places step by step, drove the Wei army out of the city, and occupied Chang'an at the lowest cost. After all, there may be a defense in the future!

As for whether it will increase the troops on Cao Zhen's side, there is no need to worry. When Chang'an is lost, what Cao Zhen should consider is how to retreat rather than how to break the enemy. The most important thing for bringing the vine armored soldiers this time is not to surprise attack Chang'an, but to cut off the Wei army's way back.

According to the strategy set at the beginning, all the Wei army in Guanzhong must stay. Of course, they should not be killed, but fill the population in Guanzhong.

Guanzhong has been somewhat relieved under the governance of Cao Wei in recent years, and people's livelihood has improved slightly. However, after Dong Zhuo, the trauma left behind by more than ten years of war cannot be recovered in just a few years, and construction will never be as fast as destruction.

Xiahou's thoughts at this moment have changed from the idea of ​​expecting the Han army to attack so that he can prove his abilities to stay away from the Han army. He was driven away by Wei Yan like a headless fly, and according to Wei Yan's idea, he rushed towards the west city step by step.

This news naturally needs to be known as Cao Zhen as soon as possible. The retreat was cut off and the advancement and retreat were lost. In addition, he was not as good as the Han army. Next, Cao Zhen seemed to have no other ideas except for escaping.

Driven by the Han army, Xiahou Yan was driven to the Ximen without any hesitation. It was not yet lost, which was also the way for him to live. In fact, judging by Xiahou Yan's performance, if Wei Yan really wanted to kill the defenders in Chang'an, it would not cost too much.

But now, the more soldiers Cao Zhen has, the better, so that their military rations will be consumed faster. Next, it depends on how Cao Zhen retreated.

The capture of Chang'an was more smooth than Wei Yan imagined. By dawn, the war in the city had basically ended.

"Congratulations to General, Chang'an, the defeat of the Wei army has been decided!" After accompanying Deng Ai arranged the follow-up work in the city, he came to Wei Yan and said with a smile.

After making great contributions, Wei Yan felt relieved and looked at Deng Ai and said with a smile: "I have made a contribution and want to give it to Shi Zai, but I don't know if Shi Zai is willing to take this contribution?"
