The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 325: First Battle in Chang'an

In Chang'an City, in recent days, with the rise of civil and military ministers, although Li Xian and others have become more unscrupulous, in comparison, Chang'an is still calm without conflicts.

The burning torch has been extinguished, and the faint green smoke drifts out of the city with the breeze, and finally dissipates without a trace, and the sky to the east shows the white color of fish belly.

"The changing of the guard hasn't come yet?" A Xiliang soldier who was keeping watch stretched out. The early morning in midsummer is the most comfortable time of the day. It's not easy to feel the coolness in the air in this midsummer season. The wall of the enemy tower stood up. After sitting all night, his legs were a little numb. He patted the soldiers beside him and asked.

"Go away, are you going to die like me!?" The soldier standing next to the female wall was slapped by him, and he almost fell from the watchtower. This five-foot-high city wall fell from here, how could there be any courtesy? After kicking the other party hard, he supported the parapet and looked outside and said, "There's still a moment left."

"I didn't mean it. Let's have a drink together and then have a good sleep?" The soldier from before was kicked, but he was not angry and said with a grin.

In Chang'an City now, the Xiliang Army is king, especially after Li Jue left recently. If they had to take turns patrolling Chang'an and keeping vigil on the city wall, they would almost forget that they were soldiers.

"Alright." The soldier nodded and glanced casually at the plain outside the city bathed in the morning light. He vaguely spotted a dark shadow in the corner of his eye. He didn't pay attention to it at first and continued to discuss with Pao Ze where to drink for a while, but next time For a moment, I felt something was wrong and quickly looked outside the city.

"What's wrong?" his companion asked doubtfully.

"There is an army!" The soldier looked solemn, standing on the city wall and looking far into the distance.

"Could it be that the general has returned victorious?" The companion looked in the direction in which the other party was looking in doubt, and his expression was ugly. It was obviously not the case.

"Get up quickly, there are enemy troops!"

The Xiliang Army's combat literacy is quite high. After realizing that it was not Li Jue's army, or even the Xiliang Army, they responded quickly. The sound of shrill horns resounded throughout Chang'an, and at the same time, someone lit up smoke on the enemy tower. In the early morning light, pillars of smoke were erected one after another, and at the same time, there was a series of horn sounds that resounded throughout every corner of the city.

The sleeping Xiliang troops walked out of their camps one after another and quickly assembled under the command of generals at all levels.

In Li Xian's mansion, Li Xian, who was sleeping soundly with Huangfu in his arms, heard a rapid knock on the door. Li Xian sat up impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"General, traces of the Bingzhou Army have been found outside the city!" the guard outside the door shouted.

Li Xian rubbed his aching head, glanced at the beauty who was also awakened, and was lying on the couch looking at the mosquito net with a blank expression. He rubbed it twice irritably, got off the couch, put on his clothes, and He said: "Go and ask Li Li and Hu Feng to come over."

"Here!"

The personal guards left quickly, and Li Xian quickly put on his clothes and waved to Huangfu to help him put on his armor.

"Hurry up, if you delay the military flight, I will kill your entire family!" Li Xian stared at the Huangfu family and said solemnly.

Huangfu's delicate body trembled, she put on her clothes silently, came behind Li Siam to help Li Siam put on his armor, and destroyed the Huangfu clan? If it were Li Jue, he might have a lot of worries, but people like Li Xian are not so particular. In the days since Li Jue left, Li Xian has led his troops to kill several people who used to be against Li Jue or Li Xian. Gentlemen, such a threat means that the Huangfu family has become numb to life, and there is no way to really remain indifferent.

Soon, Li Xian put on his armor and pushed out the door. Li Li and the others hadn't arrived yet, but with the sound of sirens all over the city, Li Xian didn't dare to wait any longer. He immediately said to his guards: "Inform them to come to the city. Find me, everyone else, follow me!"

After all, Li Xian was a person who had experienced battles. After seizing power at Yique Pass, he guarded Dagong Pass. Although he was ultimately defeated by Yuan Shu, it was also a lack of strategy. However, in terms of leading troops, Li Xian was still in the army for a long time. He had some skills, otherwise Li Jue would not have been able to let Li Xian lead the army.

Outside Chang'an City, Taishi Ci also saw the smoke rising from the top of Chang'an City, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He originally wanted to attack at night, but the troops he led were all new troops, and a night attack required a lot of troops. A team of people, obviously not up to standard.

"General, there is no need to be discouraged. According to the information from Chang'an, the people Li Jue left to defend the city are all elites of the Xiliang army. It is not that easy to attack the city at night." Next to Taishi Ci, Wang Biao said with a smile.

Although Chen Mo took Taishi Ci as the vanguard this time, after all, Taishi Ci had no experience of fighting alone. Therefore, Chen Mo sent Wang Biao to Taishi Ci. Firstly, Wang Biao had a calm personality. Secondly, Wang Biao had once guarded Qi County. His experience, not to mention how powerful, was at least able to check for deficiencies and make up for them, so this time Taishi Ci led the vanguard to attack Chang'an, with Wang Biao and Zheng Tu as his deputy generals.

Taishi Ci nodded when he heard this, looked at the towering city wall and said, "It's just such a majestic city. It's not easy for our army to attack it by force."

Wang Biao nodded and said: "Our army only has five thousand people. It is difficult to attack such a majestic city. I remember that it took more than 100,000 Xiliang troops to attack this city for three days. It was because Lu Bu left and the city was empty. With the strength of our army, it is really difficult to attack this city."

Tai Shici nodded and said, "General King Lao will command the soldiers to set up camp. I will take my personal guards to inspect the opponent's city defense layout."

Wang Biao was Chen Mo's elder, and Taishi Ci naturally knew this. Therefore, although he was his lieutenant, Taishi Ci was quite polite to Wang Biao and Zheng Tu.

"General, you don't have to be like this. There are military rules in the army, and those are the general's orders." Wang Biao said with a salute.

Taishi Ci nodded, got on his horse, and led Zheng Tu and his guards to patrol along Chang'an City to check the enemy's defense. Wang Biao arranged for the soldiers to set up camp.

On Chang'an City, Li Li, Hu Feng, and Li Jin had also hurried over to investigate the city defense with Li Xian.

"Brother, the enemy doesn't seem to have many troops." Li Jin lay on the parapet, looking at the enemy, and saw that the enemy had begun to set up camp, and he was a little puzzled.

"Thousands of troops." Li Xian nodded. Just by looking at the enemy's military appearance, he could estimate the approximate range. Li Xian still had this ability: "It should be Chen Mo's vanguard."

"Look, there is a group of troops coming out over there!" Hu Feng pointed at the enemy.

"It should be the enemy's scouts." Li Xian didn't care. The enemy had only a dozen cavalry.

Hu Feng smiled and said, "Brother, I will bring some people to capture a few people and test the enemy's strength."

Li Xian is now in control of Chang'an, so Hu Feng is naturally jealous and wants to make some meritorious deeds. If there is such a good thing in the future, his uncle will think of him. Now the three brothers of Li Xian are all generals, but he is only a cavalry captain. It is impossible to say that he is not dissatisfied.

Li Xian looked from a distance and nodded, saying, "Be careful. The leader seems to be a general. You take a group of soldiers and horses over. It is best to capture the general alive."

"Yes!" Hu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly agreed and ordered his troops to go out.

Taishi Ci and Zheng Tu were patrolling around Chang'an City, but they saw the towering walls and heavy gates. When they felt that they had no place to start, they saw the opposite gate suddenly opened, and a group of people and horses rushed towards this side. Taishi Ci frowned slightly and looked at the sudden killing people and horses with sharp eyes.

Zheng Tu said with some worry: "General, should we withdraw first?"

"The enemy has only one part of the army." Taishi Ci looked for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not a large army, and they are all cavalry. If we retreat, we can't outrun them. Prepare for battle!"

With Taishi Ci's order, the guards quickly formed a battle formation. Taishi Ci rode in front of the battle formation, took off his own precious bow from the horse's back, and saw the enemy's cavalry rushing in. He quickly bent the bow and put an arrow on it. Without looking closely, he pulled the bowstring to the full and shot it out.

Without looking at the result, he immediately drew two more arrows from the quiver and put them on the string. With the sound of the bowstring trembling, the Xiliang cavalry that rushed straight ahead were shot down before they rushed to the front. Taishi Ci shot not people, but their horses. The horses in the front row fell to the ground. Some of the Xiliang cavalry in the back were able to pass by with their superb riding skills, but more were caught off guard and tripped, and the original momentum disappeared in an instant.

Hu Feng wanted to rein in his horse, but the cavalry behind him followed too closely. He just saw a man rein in his horse and collided with the cavalry rushing up from behind, leaving no trace of his body. At this moment, he could only shout loudly, signaling the cavalry to slowly stop.

Taishi Ci didn't care about the other side. Seeing that the opponent's momentum was blocked, he shot arrows faster and shot all the arrows in the bag. Taishi Ci threw the precious bow in his hand to the guard beside him, took off the halberd on the horse's back, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the horse felt pain and rushed into the enemy formation with all four hooves.

"General!" Zheng Tu was shocked when he saw this, but he couldn't call anyone, so he shouted: "Charge!"

He led Taishi Ci's guards to chase Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci's horse was fast, and he had rushed to the front of the enemy in a moment. The two Xiliang cavalrymen were a little slow to react, but they saw a cold light flash before their eyes, and the cold halberd blade had already swept across their throats, bringing two puffs of blood, but Taishi Ci had already passed between the two.

Hu Feng finally stopped the battle and was about to give orders, but he saw that the enemy general had already rushed to the front, and the halberd swung in the air and chopped from top to bottom, frightening Hu Feng and quickly raised his spear to block.

The halberd and the spear collided, making a crisp sound, but Hu Feng did not feel much force. While he was wondering, he saw Taishi Ci drag the halberd shaft, allowing the small branch of the halberd to hook the spear shaft. Hu Feng did not have time to react, and felt his hands lighten. The spear in his hand had been hooked by Taishi Ci. With a flick of his hand, he knocked down the two Xiliang cavalrymen who rushed up. Taishi Ci had already rushed to Hu Feng, and before Hu Feng could draw his sword, he grabbed his belt. Hu Feng only felt the force on his lower back, and was lifted up from the horse by Taishi Ci while dancing with joy. He looked at the Xiliang cavalry rushing towards him and swung his sword. The Xiliang soldiers were worried about hurting Hu Feng, so they had to retreat. Taishi Ci took the opportunity to press Hu Feng on the horse's back, turned the horse's head and left.

The Xiliang cavalry wanted to catch up and take back their general, but Zheng Tu had already rushed up with Taishi Ci's personal guards. He let Taishi Ci pass, and dozens of spears stabbed out, forming a spear formation to kill or force the Xiliang cavalry that was chasing them to retreat.

Taishi Ci retreated into the formation and threw Hu Feng off his horse, making Hu Feng feel like his whole body was falling apart. His personal guards stepped forward and tied Hu Feng up.

Taishi Ci then rode his horse to the front of the formation, looking at the Xiliang army that had lost its leader and was hesitating to move forward, he sneered and said: "Retreat!"

The Xiliang army lost its commander and didn't know what to do for a while. They watched the Bingzhou army take Hu Feng away. Taishi Ci rode his horse at the end and retreated a hundred steps before walking back with his personal guards...
