Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 820

Originally, the number of Yizhou Army around Zhang Ren was only about 5,000. As he ordered people to wave the flag, a steady stream of Yizhou Army gathered towards him, except for the Yizhou Army who was killed and captured. In addition, there are about nine thousand people left.

Following Zhang Renyi's order, the Nine Thousand Yizhou Army began to move and moved quickly in the direction of Chengdu.

"General, it seems that Zhang Ren wants to withdraw to Chengdu."

Jia Xu on the side was watching from a distance, and said to Liu Ye.

"Well, order the whole army to follow Zhang Ren, and later when Ma Xiujun sniped the enemy, they will rush forward and completely wipe out the enemy!" Liu Ye said with confidence.

"Here!"

Once the order was delivered, nearly 60,000 Liangzhou Army moved and chased after the Yizhou Army. It was like a tiger hunting down sheep. However, it did not immediately launch a thunderous offensive. Instead, it followed the enemy army and was about to move.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Liu Xun kept shouting loudly for Yizhou soldiers to speed up. After all, there were countless Xiliang soldiers behind him, and he had to get rid of them quickly.

But fortunately, the Xiliang Army did not catch up. Maybe they were tired after the war? Liu Xun thought so.

And Ma Xiu led the five thousand Liangzhou army to stand in battle outside the south gate of Chengdu. He was riding on a horse with a rather impatient expression. He was very sorry for not being able to participate in the war just now. He saw Yizhou led by Zhang Ren. The army retreated towards Chengdu and couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Erlang! The enemy army is here, and all of you clenched the swords in your hands to let this group of people know how powerful our Xiliang army is!" Ma Xiu shouted loudly.

The five thousand Xiliang Soldiers also raised their arms and shouted, gearing their hands, murderous, staring at the retreating Yizhou Soldiers, revealing their murderous aura.

"General Governor, it seems that the enemy is planning to encircle our army at the South Gate." Huang Quan on the side saw Ma Xiu's five thousand Xiliang soldiers and couldn't help but remind him.

"Withdraw to the west gate." Zhang Ren said calmly.

"Here!"

The Nine Thousand Yizhou Army saw the five thousand Xiliang Soldiers standing in formation, so naturally it was impossible to hit them head-on, but turned around and turned towards the West Gate.

Naturally, it was impossible for Matthew to let go of the fat sheep, and rushed forward with a loud shout. The five thousand Xiliang soldiers naturally followed him closely, and rushed towards the nine thousand Yizhou army.

"kill!"

Unlike the Yizhou soldiers who had fought tragically, the five thousand Xiliang army under Ma Xiu did not participate in the battle. Instead, they had been watching the battle, recuperating and rejuvenating. Therefore, they were full of energy and rushed forward without saying a word, and followed behind the enemy. Fight.

There was a sound of fighting from the back of the Yizhou army, but it was the Yizhou soldiers and the Xiliang soldiers fighting each other.

"Don't worry, keep going!"

Zhang Ren shouted and ordered the whole army to speed up. The nine thousand Yizhou army rushed towards the west gate of Chengdu without stopping.

The soldier who was the first to rush to the city raised his head and shouted: "Open the city gate, hurry!"

The Yizhou army above the city gate naturally did not say anything, and hurriedly opened the Qianjin gate, the two city gates slowly opened, and the moat bridge fell.

The nine thousand Yizhou soldiers were overjoyed and rushed into the city by stepping on the moat bridge. A few Yizhou soldiers were unlucky and fell to the ground. The Yizhou soldiers behind could not control them anymore and stepped directly on their backs. After rushing into the city, these Yizhou soldiers were trampled to death.

"Don't drive Huang, Major General, I'll enter the city soon!"

Zhang Ren shouted, protecting Huang Quan and Liu Xun and stormed into Chengdu City, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Although Zhang Ren entered the city, all the Yizhou soldiers behind him could not come in. Many people were still outside the city, desperately trying to squeeze into the city.

"Get into the city and take Chengdu!"

Seeing the west gate of Chengdu opened, Ma Xiu was naturally overjoyed. If he could take advantage of the situation to enter the city and win Chengdu in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be a great feat to sack Liu Zhang?

"The army followed me into the city and made contributions!"

Ma Xiu yelled, and the five thousand Xiliang soldiers behind him were also full of energy, and rushed towards Ximen. The Xiliang Army was very sharp, and the Yizhou soldiers who had killed outside the city fell to the ground one after another, constantly approaching the west gate.

"Close the city gate!" Zhang Ren stood on the top of the city and shouted.

"What? But the chief governor, there are still many brothers in our army staying outside the city." Deng Xian could not help but object.

"If you don't close the city gate now, the Xiliang army will come in!" Zhang Ren said coldly.

"but..."

"I am the chief governor of the Yizhou Army. Who dares not listen to a certain order? Close the gate!"

After all, Zhang Ren was majestic and majestic. The guards at the front of the city did not dare to resist his orders, so they had to drop the Qianjin Gate, the two city gates were slowly closed, and the moat bridge was also closed.

Thousands of Yizhou soldiers outside the city couldn't help feeling anxious when they saw the city gate closed.

"I haven't entered yet, why did I close the door?"

"Open the door, we haven't got in yet!"

The Yizhou soldiers who could not enter the city looked desperate and slapped the city gate vigorously, but the thick wooden door wrapped in iron sheet remained motionless.

"kill!"

Naturally, the Xiliang Army outside the city could not let them go. They charged forward all the way. The Yizhou Army outside the city suddenly screamed and suffered heavy casualties under the onslaught of the Xiliang Army.

"Let go!"

Hearing Zhang Ren's order, although the archers on the head of the city could not bear to attack their colleagues outside the city, they did not dare to defy Zhang Ren's order. They opened their bows and arrows one after another and shot out towards the outside of the city.

Whoosh whoosh!

"what!"

Many Yizhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers outside the city were shot by arrows and uttered screams. However, the Yizhou soldiers who remained outside the city were already killed by the Xiliang army, so many were injured. For Xiliang soldiers.

"hateful!"

Matthew yelled, because he also hit an arrow in the shoulder, and felt that the spear sank in his hand, almost unable to hold it.

In furious Matthew, he really wanted to order the attack.

"The general has an order, the whole army retreats!"

"what?"

Hearing this order, even though Ma Xiu was unwilling to do so, he was helpless for a while, so he had to sigh and then ordered: "The whole army retreat!"

"retreat!"

After the fierce offensive Xiliang army received Liu Ye's military order, they retreated like a tide, leaving only the bodies of two armies in Chengdu.

"General, why not take Chengdu in one go?"

Ma Teng, who returned in a hurry, said with dissatisfaction: "Our army has just defeated the enemy and its morale is like a rainbow. As long as we take the opportunity to besiege, we can take the city in a few days."

Liu Ye explained: "Brother Shoucheng, our army did not build siege equipment. If they were to force a siege, even if they were able to take Chengdu, the soldiers would suffer heavy casualties. It would be better to build the equipment before attacking the city."

Ma Teng touched his head and said helplessly: "Here."

Sixty thousand Xiliang soldiers withdrew from the city of Chengdu, set up camps outside the city, and cut down trees to build siege equipment.
