Hu Lie Mansion in Chang'an City

Although Zhong Yao bypassed Hu Lie in the main hall, Zhong Yao still demoted Hu Lie to three levels at once, and directly demoted from deputy general to four patrol lieutenant.

After Hu Lie inspected the city and returned to the mansion, it was late at night.

The tired Hu Lie went straight back to the inner room.

The lights in the house are still bright. I think my wife, who has not been married for a long time, is guarding the empty room and waiting for him to come back.

When I pushed the door open, I saw the beautiful young woman reading books and silk under the lamp.

This young woman is Ouyang Ling, the wife of Hu Lie, who has not been around for a long time.

When the young woman looked up, she saw that her husband had returned, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly got up to greet her.

While she skillfully took off her husband's armor, she asked about the city patrol today.

"Lu Bu's man was not strong enough. He seemed to be planning to attack the second gate of the northwest. The south gate was quite peaceful, but he couldn't underestimate it. Everything was fine to patrol the city tonight. It was just a small city guard Guo Huai. He thought he was self-righteous.

If I had not had to act according to my military orders, I would have dealt with him in military law long ago."

Hu Lie complained to his wife with annoyance.

Ouyang Ling advised: "Those martial artists from the countryside are rude and uneducated. Why should your husband be so idle with them and lose his status and decent?"

Hu Lie felt much more comfortable when his wife said something cute.

After changing into casual clothes, Hu Lie picked up the books and silk on the desk and looked at it.

Ouyang Ling remembered something and hurriedly said, "This is a letter sent by my brother. He said that it is difficult to defend Chang'an City. He advised my husband and I to make plans early. If possible, it would be best to ask Lord Zhong Yao to go to the border.

We should make plans early to recruit soldiers and horses!”

Hu Lie scanned the letter and threw it on the table, with a hint of disdain on his face.

"It's not my brother-in-law who said he is, your brother has never seen any big world, he is a man who is willing to give advice on the country indiscriminately. He doesn't think about it. Chang'an's city is solid, with enough food and grass for several years. Now, everyone in the aristocratic family works together to help the state.

Lord Zhong defends the city, but it would be strange if Lu Bu’s little force can break through the city.”

"But brother..."

When Ouyang Ling heard her husband criticizing her younger brother, she frowned and wanted to say a few nice words.

Hu Lie said, "Your brother is so ambitious. You, a sister, talk about him well. OK, I'm tired, so let's take a break early."

Hu Lie waved his hand impatiently, and then turned over and lie on the bed. In just a moment, he snored loudly.

Looking at myself in the mirror, the newly cut clothes on her body, my husband didn't notice at all.

A little disappointment flashed across Ouyang Ling's pretty face. Looking at her husband who was sleeping with his head, she could only sigh quietly.

Under Chang'an City.

Ten thousand Chu soldiers launched a fierce attack on the two northwest gates of Chang'an.

Lu Bu was born as a cavalry general, and his army was best at field battles. To be honest, such siege battles were not their strengths.

However, in order to cooperate with the secret joining the Chu army Guo Huai through the city's secret spies, Lu Bu had to spend some money to attract Zhong Yao's attention to the second gate of the northwest.

After three consecutive days of strong attack, more than a thousand soldiers were lost, and Chang'an City remained unmoved.

After defeating the fierce attack of Lu Bu's army, Zhong Yao and the scholars and citizens of Chang'an City regained their confidence and their nervousness gradually calmed down.

They seemed to find that the terrifying Lu Bu was not invincible, and that devilish character also had insurmountable weaknesses, and this weakness was the Chang'an City Wall they were proud of.

With the defeat of Lu Bu's attack, good news kept coming.

The states and counties gathered together to send thousands of troops to reinforce Chang'an. The troops were already on their way and could reach the city of Chang'an soon.

All signs were on the surface, and Lu Bu seemed to have fallen into a quagmire that could not be defeated, and the final victory was gradually tilting towards Zhong Yao.

Inspired by all kinds of good news, the scholars and citizens in Chang'an City were regaining their optimistic mood, fantasizing about the peaceful life like a paradise before Lu Bu called.

The clouds of war are moving away, and soon everything will be restored to its original state.

Most people in Chang'an are thinking this way.

Just when people in Chang'an were still fantasizing about a bright future, no one knew that a cavalry unit of 5,000 people was bathing in the setting sun, circling towards the south gate of Chang'an like the wind.

Before the setting sun set, the burly body appeared at the south gate of Chang'an.

Lu Bu jumped into the hillside and looked up at the distance. The towering Chang'an City was right in front of him. The dim setting sun plated the city wall with a layer of gold edges.

It is time to start and end with so many brothers lost.

Looking back, the five thousand knights were solemnly lined up, and the strong murderous aura was surging on every young face.

This is the agreed moment.

After several letter exchanges, Guo Huai has set a date for surrender. At this dusk, he will cut off the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and let his army enter the city.

As long as his cavalry enters the city, even if Zhong Yao mobilizes all the soldiers and civilians in the city, he will never be able to save the defeat.

After looking at the sun, Lu Bu whispered: "The time has come, and the fire has been lit."

The order was passed down, and three piles of beacon fires lit up, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

The Cao army defenders on the front of the city soon noticed three black smoke rising from the sky outside the city. At the same time, they were also frightened to find that the black iron cavalry of the Chu army, which was as dark as dark clouds, had already been forced outside the city.

.

"It was the enemy who came to kill it, it was the Xiliang cavalry of Chu State."

At the top of the city, the sentry first discovered screamed, and soon all the defenders on the top of the city who discovered the enemy situation were shocked.

"The army must not panic, prepare to face the enemy, and go and report to the officer Hu and Zhong--"

Before the commander-in-chief was finished speaking, a cold light flashed by, and the bloody head flew out of his neck, flew into the air, and then fell to the top of the city under the astonished eyes of everyone.

The headless corpse shook and fell down. Behind him, the person standing with a sword with his eyes was like a ferocious spirit, and his murderous aura was everywhere.

It's Guo Huai.

The soldiers of Jingzhou on the top of the city were in fear and confusion for a moment. They couldn't figure out why the city guard Guo Huai dared to kill his boss? Was he crazy?

Soon, screams of screams woke them up from their surprise.

At the front line of the city gate, Guo Huai's troops attacked at the same time. Hundreds of elite Yongzhou warriors killed these compatriots in their past with lightning speed.

Because Zhong Yao transferred most of his troops to the second gate of the North West, and there were only more than 3,000 defenders on the South Gate.

Although there were only three thousand people, they were enough to deal with the sudden attack of ten times the force. However, these soldiers who thought they were in the fire of war never expected that they would die at the hands of their own people.

In a hurry, the soldiers were without a leader, and the three thousand Cao troops were killed by Guo Huai's three hundred troops and fell into chaos.

Guo Huai even raised his sword and fell. When he met all the people from Zulan, he killed them all. Even if he was dealing with the nameless little patriarch, he would do his best to each sword, as if he wanted to destroy the grievances and anger he had accumulated for many years.

Universal blood and killing were washed away.

Wherever the blade passes, no one can stop it.

But two cold lights passed by, the suspension cable of the suspension bridge was cut off, and the suspension bridge fell violently.

At the same time, the troops at the gate of the city also defeated the defending soldiers. More than a dozen bloody Yongzhou warriors shouted slogans in unison and pushed the door open slowly.

Guo Huai stood in the middle of the city tower, facing the black iron cavalry outside the city, with a sharp knife-like face surging and excitement surging.

General Lu, I, Guo Huai, have opened the city gate of Chang'an for you. If you don't break in, then when will you wait?

On the hillside outside the city, Lu Bu clearly saw the accident at the city gate.

The suspension bridge has been lowered and the city gate is open. Guo Huai has indeed not breached his trust.

Lu Bu was greatly inspired and immediately prepared to force his army into the city.

At this time, Gan Ning grabbed Lu Bu and said, "General, although the city gate is open, what if this is Zhong Yao's plan, what should I do? The last general asks the general to enter the city first."

Gan Ning's words made Lu Bu's heart shocked.

It seems that this is not impossible if it is a random plan.

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and replied: "You don't need to doubt people, and you don't doubt people. I believe that Guo Huai is sincerely surrendering, so you don't need to be suspicious."

Lu Bu used his strong confidence to eliminate the suspicion of Gan Ning and others.

Turning back suddenly, his eyes shot directly at the enemy city like a blade. Lu Bu pointed to the Fang Tianhua Ji in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to fight into Chang'an and rush!"

Amid the angry roar, the red rabbit horse under his crotch exerted force with four hooves, one person and one riding, galloping away like black lightning.

Behind him, five thousand iron cavalry burst out, and they broke out like a mountain collapse and cracked.

The sound of shouting and killing like raging waves shook the sky, the sound of horse hooves rumbling, and the world changed color.

The rolling torrent of steel was destroyed towards the South Gate of Chang'an with its supreme power.

Lu Bu took the lead, crossed the suspension bridge, passed through the city gate, and roared into Chang'an City first.

Five thousand cavalry iron, like a flood that broke through the gate, rushing into Chang'an City. Fang Tian's painting halberd danced like the wind, ruthlessly slashing at the Cao family soldiers who were fighting in a hurry.

The blood-paved killing path extends rapidly towards the center of Chang'an from the south gate along the wide avenue.

When he was more than a hundred steps away, Cao's soldiers finally appeared in front of him.

The soldiers on both sides used all their strength. One side wanted to seize the entire Chang'an City and then win the entire Nanzheng victory, and the other side defended their homeland. Both sides fought to the death, without deciding the victory or defeat.

A fierce street battle was so tragic that for a moment, Lu Bu's cavalry was blocked from attacking.

…………

Hu Lie, who heard that Guo Huai was betrayed and the city gate was in a trap, hurriedly led more than a thousand troops to come, and was hitting the fierce cavalry. Hu Lie was in horror and didn't even have time to order a formation to meet the enemy.

The ride has already rushed to the tide like a tide.
