Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

Chapter 522 Hefei and Chang'an

Le Jin never thought that he, a general who led the army to search the city, would be killed by someone.

Shouldn't you flee in panic?

Why did you dare to fight back against me?

Before he died, Le Jin's mind was full of this thought.

Fires broke out everywhere in Hefei City. The grain warehouse was burned by the shadow guards, and other places were set by other special forces members, with the purpose of creating chaos.

During the war, no one cared whether anyone was innocent or not.

Zhang Liao did not dare to leave the city gate tower and handed the task of searching to Le Jin. He did not expect that this moment would be a farewell forever.

A member of the special forces disguised as an old woman launched a sneak attack while Le Jin was leading people to search. He also felt that he could not escape, so he would exchange one life for another.

He cut Le Jin's throat with a knife, and was stabbed to death by a random spear. Before he died, he showed a relieved smile.

This was the first special forces member to die, but not the last.

Hefei City was in complete chaos, the fire was raging, and there was no way to save it.

Cao Wei's generals saw that they didn't want to save it, just let it burn, demolish the house, and make a quarantine zone.

While Cao Wei's soldiers were focusing on this, most of the special forces successfully escaped to the meeting point, waiting to evacuate Hefei City at night.

Zhang Liao was upset. He had received two bad news, the burning of the grain warehouse and the death of Le Jin.

Fortunately, there was more than one grain warehouse in Hefei City. The shadow guard burned the largest one, and there were several small ones. The remaining grain was enough for half a month.

The problem was what to do after half a month?

Zhang Liao was thinking about leading his troops to attack, but when he saw the big flag with the word Chen outside the city, he calmed down again.

Zhang Liao was confident in attacking other people's camps, but he was really unsure about Chen Xi.

Or... send his generals to try?

Try and die!

Hefei City sent a troop of soldiers and horses in the middle of the night to attack Chen Xi's camp, but they were shut up and no one escaped.

Zhang Liao was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. If he had gone there, he would probably have been trapped.

The shadow guard led the special forces to escape from Hefei City and found a hidden place nearby to hide.

There was a big search everywhere in Hefei City. If he stayed there, he would definitely be found.

The shadow guard followed Chen Xi's instructions, hid well, and waited for Cao Zhen's reinforcements to come. His next target was Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen hurried to Hefei, but there was no suitable opportunity to enter the city. Hefei City did not dare to open the city gate. Didn't you see that Chen Xi's army was watching covetously?

Cao Zhen simply set up a camp nearby and relied on Hefei City. As long as Chen Xi dared to attack the city, he would lead the army to attack from the side.

Zhang Liao also meant that Hefei City was running out of food. It was useless for you to come in. It was better to stay outside.

Zhang Liao sent his soldiers to contact Cao Zhen and request a batch of food and grass. If there was a chance, it would be best for both parties to attack Chen Xi at the same time and annihilate the other party in one fell swoop.

Regardless of whether they can be annihilated or not, food and grass must be delivered to the city first.

If they don't go, Hefei City will be out of food. If it weren't for the food stored in the homes of the people in Hefei City, Zhang Liao's army would not be able to hold on.

In order to avoid Chen Xi's army from making trouble, the operation of transporting food and grass was arranged at night, and the food and grass were secretly loaded onto the truck and transported to Hefei City.

The shadow guard took the opportunity to disguise himself as a civilian transporter with the special forces, and entered Cao Zhen's camp openly and loaded the food according to the instructions.

The members of the special forces disappeared into the night, preparing assassinations according to different tents, and some people were ready to set fire to the food. The shadow guard even went directly to Cao Zhen.

Chen Xi was also ready for battle. As soon as he received the news that the shadow guard was ready to act, he led his troops out.

The two sides proceeded simultaneously. Cao Zhen was assassinated by the shadow guard, and several other generals were killed. The food and grass were burned, and the Cao Wei camp was immediately in chaos.

On the gate tower, Zhang Liao looked at the fire in the distance and closed his eyes helplessly. It was over.

"Come here!" Zhang Liao shouted: "Call the soldiers, go out!"

Zhang Liao knew that Chen Xi would not miss such a good opportunity. He could not save Cao Zhen, but he could counterattack Chen Xi's camp. You can burn food, so can I!

Cao Zhen's camp was in chaos. Chen Xi took the opportunity to lead his troops to kill. At the same time, Zhang Liao also led his troops out of Hefei City and attacked Chen Xi's camp.

Chen Xi had predicted Zhang Liao's actions long ago. His camp was just a decoration. There were traps everywhere. There were kerosene, food and grass inside, which had been transported away long ago.

After Zhang Liao's army rushed into the camp, they fell into various traps. Even he could not avoid it. The warhorse was pierced by the spear in the trap. He almost died here.

At this time, Zhang Liao had realized that it was not good. As more and more Wei troops rushed into the camp.

The Shu Han army, which had been lying in ambush outside, lit torches. Archers stepped forward, ignited arrows and started to fire round after round.

A quiver of 12 arrows, all shot empty!

The slightly exhausted archers began to rest, and the entire military camp was already a sea of ​​fire.

Zhang Liao was finally rescued from the trap by his personal soldiers, and all he saw was a raging sea of ​​fire, with fire everywhere.

Zhang Liao began to reorganize the defeated soldiers and prepare to fight his way out, looking for a place where the fire was relatively weak. After running all the way, he was really lucky enough to fight his way out of the military camp.

Just as Zhang Liao was feeling deeply moved, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance. Zhang Liao turned his head in horror and looked over. In the moonlight, he could vaguely see a large number of cavalry rushing over.

"This is impossible!!" Zhang Liao's eyes were red with anger. Where did Chen Xi get so many cavalrymen? !

Under the reflection of the moonlight, a word flashed on the big flag: "Zhao".

Zhang Liao suddenly realized, followed by a bitter smile. He didn't expect that Chen Xi had already contacted Zhao Yun to come.

The opponent's goal is not only Hefei City, but also to besiege and attack the reinforcements.

From the moment Chen Xi burned the grain, he had predicted all the subsequent actions of his side, so he sent Zhao Yun to guard by the side early, waiting for him.

Zhang Liao was unwilling to give up, and led the remnants of the defeated army to break out, and Zhao Yun led the army to chase and kill all the way.

Thanks to the desperate protection of his personal soldiers, Zhang Liao finally escaped back to Hefei City, with many injuries on his body, and his life was saved.

Behind Zhang Liao were a few remnants, all of whom had escaped from the battlefield. The defeated soldiers who gathered in all directions were wearing the clothes of the Wei army, and no one could tell the real from the fake.

The gates of Hefei were opened to welcome Zhang Liao into the city. The archers on the city walls were also ready, aiming at the Shu Han army chasing from a distance.

Just as Zhang Liao was about to step onto the suspension bridge, a figure suddenly appeared, jumped high, and chopped down with a sword in his hand.

Zhang Liao raised his sword to block in front of him, but it was useless. The handle of the sword, the man and the horse were chopped into two by the shadow guard's black gold, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Other members of the special forces also drew their swords and chopped at the Wei army around them, then rushed into the city gate and seized the city gate.

For a while, the Wei army on the city wall was in chaos, attacking the Shu Han army that was getting closer and closer, and taking back the city gate.

After Chen Xi led his troops to kill, everything was a foregone conclusion, and Hefei City... was broken.

Chen Xi captured Hefei City. Cao Wei was in a panic and could not take care of continuing to attack Xinye. Zhang He led his army to station in Runan to defend against Chen Xi's army.

Yu Jin led his army back to Wancheng to defend against the Jingzhou army to prevent Guan Ping from attacking again.

Guan Ping was unable to attack, and the Jingzhou army could only defend now, because the Jingzhou army was recruited to attack Dongwu.

Shu Han also came out in full force, and the army was fighting outside. The main battlefields were Dongwu and Chang'an. Tianshui did not have many troops, which firmly pinned down Sima Yi.

Chen Xi actually had only about 10,000 men, and Zhou Cang had more than 20,000 men, but a certain amount of troops needed to be stationed in Jiaozhi and Kuaiji to prevent local people from making trouble.

Huo Jun led his troops to sit in Jiaozhi, and Fu Tong led his troops to sit in Kuaiji. The ones who really attacked Wujun were mainly Zhou Cang and Liao Hua.

The internal situation of Jingzhou was fine. The reform was carried out early, and the unstable factors were removed early.

In Yizhou, the stability was basically maintained by the Jinyiwei. Zhuge Jun was stationed in Chengdu, and the Jinyiwei Tiqi cleared out all the restless people, even in Nanzhong.

The Nanzhong Campaign was over, but the follow-up work was not finished. The Jinyiwei held a big stick to deter Nanzhong, and the civil officials held carrots to appease it.

The policy of appeasement was very simple. As long as the barbarians in Nanzhong were willing to come out and register their household registration, they would be given the identity of Shu Han citizens and allocated a piece of land to cultivate, so that they would not have to worry about supporting their families from then on.

It didn't matter if they didn't want to come out. Shu Han opened a trading market in Nanzhong, and all the living resources needed by Nanzhong were available in the market.

What to buy?

Of course it was money. If there was no money, other metals could be exchanged, and iron would also be fine.

The goal of Shu Han was to collect as much iron resources as possible in Nanzhong to prevent those irons from being made into weapons again.

If there were people in Nanzhong who were dissatisfied and dared to cause trouble, the Jinyiwei's Tiqi would be dispatched and act without mercy.

Chang'an was not easy to attack. Wei Yan tried every possible way, but he couldn't take Chang'an. Guo Huai was like a tortoise in a tortoise shell, defending Chang'an to the death.

Xiahou Ba was not happy. He came to avenge his father. If he didn't go to war, how could he take revenge?

For this reason, Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai had a big quarrel, and both sides were very unhappy.

The Jinyiwei's spy passed this information out, and it soon appeared on the desk of a thousand households. After reading it, he took the information directly to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing. This could be used.

Jiang Wei found Wei Yan and asked if Xiahou Yuan's armor was left as a trophy when he was killed in the Battle of Hanzhong?

Xiahou Yuan was attacked by Huang Zhong when he took off his armor and was enjoying the cool because the weather was too hot. He died, but his armor was intact.

After the war, Xiahou Yuan's armor became Huang Zhong's trophy. Now Huang Zhong is gone, and the armor should be placed in Huang Zhong's former residence.

Jiang Wei wrote a letter and sent someone to send it back to Chengdu at full speed. Zhuge Liang also laughed after reading it. Who would have thought that Xiahou Yuan, who was dead, could still play such a role.

Zhuge Liang sent someone to deliver Xiahou Yuan's armor to the front line.

The Shu Han army's various shouting and cursing could not attract the Cao Wei army, so Guo Huai just stayed at home.

On this day, the shouting and cursing stopped, and the soldiers of the Shu Han army carried a large frame with a set of armor hanging on it and walked out.

On the city wall, the Cao Wei soldiers couldn't understand what this meant?

Guo Huai vaguely guessed something and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Soon, Xiahou Ba, who got the news, rushed over and started crying after seeing the armor: "Father!!"

Guo Huai closed his eyes and sighed, it was over.

Xiahou Ba wanted to go into battle, but Guo Huai refused to let him. Neither side could convince the other until a Shu Han soldier took off his pants and urinated on Xiahou Yuan's armor.

Xiahou Ba was in a bad state, with veins on his forehead bulging and his eyes red.

Guo Huai did not dare to stop him at this time. If he continued to stop him, Xiahou Ba's knife might cut him.

Xiahou Ba led his troops to fight, vowing to kill all the enemy soldiers and take back his father's armor.

What awaited Xiahou Ba was the pincer attack of Jiang Wei and Deng Ai. The Shu Han soldiers surrounded Xiahou Ba and set up a battle formation, leaving no chance for the other party to escape.

They surrounded him but did not attack him, but did not let him go either, just for Guo Huai in Chang'an City to see.

Xiahou Ba and his troops are here, will you save them or not?

If you save them, you will be fooled.

If you don't save them, you will lose morale and military spirit.

Guo Huai was forced to choose not to save them. He could not gamble the entire Chang'an City for Xiahou Ba alone.

If Guo Huai didn't save him, someone else would. A Wei army appeared from the side and attacked quickly.

It is estimated that Shu Han did not expect the Wei army to appear. There was chaos immediately. The encirclement was broken up, and Xiahou Ba led his army to escape.

From a distance, Xiahou Ba saw a commander on horseback in the Wei army. He recognized him as Sima Yi.

The flag of the Wei army also had the word "Sima".

Xiahou Ba had no doubts. Even Guo Huai on the city wall did not think it would be fake. His first reaction was that Sima Yi had withdrawn his troops.

In addition, Sima Yi saved Xiahou Ba and joined forces with Xiahou Ba. Guo Huai did not think too much and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome the two troops into the city.

Everything was fine until the army of "Sima Yi" entered the city and suddenly killed the Wei army around him.

Xiahou Ba was still confused, but Guo Huai reacted instantly and realized that he had been fooled!

Jiang Wei's strategy was never to use Xiahou Ba to lure out Guo Huai. He knew it was not realistic. His goal was to find someone to pretend to be Sima Yi's army and trick the gate of Chang'an City.

Xiahou Ba was just a tool.

The Shu Han soldiers who had been scared away by Sima Yi gathered again and rushed towards Chang'an City.

Those soldiers who had "died in battle" also climbed up one after another, which made Guo Huai feel heartbroken. How could he be fooled by Jiang Wei?

At the city gate, Wei Yan, who was disguised as a general of the Wei State, snatched a war horse and led his troops to attack. He was unstoppable.

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai led the army to rush in quickly. After Hefei, Chang'an City was also breached. Guo Huai led the remaining soldiers to flee Chang'an in a hurry and went to Hongnong County to defend.
