Hongnong County, located between Chang’an and Luoyang, is also the only way to get from Luoyang to Chang’an.

Dong Zhuo’s general Guo Xiao (郭汜) was guarded here.

It is equivalent to the current border line of the Western Liang Army, if this place is breached, basically Chang’an has no danger to defend in the east.

Therefore, Guo Xiao did not dare to relax the slightest, and ordered people to patrol every day, deeply afraid that the enemy army would approach quietly.

At the same time, there are scouts who pay close attention to the situation in the direction of Luoyang.

As everyone knows, how can these scouts escape the brocade guard?

When the Youzhou army went to Chang’an, Jinyiwei quietly dealt with these scouts.

In other words, Luoyang’s army was dispatched, and Chang’an knew nothing about it.

“Whew…”

At night, a cold wind blows in Guancheng, Hongnong County.

The general Guo Xiao personally guarded the place.

“Boom…”

He patrolled the city, his armor making a crisp sound.

“General.”

The soldiers at the head of the city saluted one after another.

“Hmm.”

Guo Xiao just nodded in response.

“Is there any news from the direction of Luoyang?”

He asked the adjutant general beside him.

“Nope.”

The adjutant general answered truthfully.

“Huh?”

Guo Wan’s brows furrowed.

According to common sense, scouts all transmit news once in about three days, and how can there be no news back on the fourth day today.

“General, I’m afraid it’s because Luoyang’s vigilance news is not easy to inquire about, so it’s delayed, right?”

The adjutant general guessed.

“It’s possible.”

Guo Xiao didn’t think much about it.

After all, the last news was that the princes did not move after leaving Luoyang.

There is no sign of coming to fight Chang’an at all, the Yan King’s power is thin, how dare he come to Chang’an with 20,000 or 30,000 Youzhou troops?

After a short patrol, Guo Xiao went down to the head of the city.

“Pay attention to night defense, although the enemy is unlikely to attack, but you still need to be careful.”

Before leaving, he specially instructed.

“No.”

The adjutant general took orders.

The city pass returned to normal in this way, until midnight, the whole city pass was terribly silent.

At the same time, just five miles away from the city pass, the mighty Youzhou army had arrived here.

“Lord, the front is Nahongnong County.”

The scout of the Youzhou Army specially came to report.

“Hmm.”

Liu Jingqian replied.

“Black monk, what should King Ben do now?”

He looked at Yao Guangxiao on the side and asked.

“The lord said and laughed, naturally he attacked with his division, and took Hongnong County by surprise to open the road to Chang’an.”

Yao Guangxiao replied with a smile.

When the troops were first dispatched, it was with this idea that the lord would pinch the time to arrive here.

“Haha, Chengdu.”

Liu Jing smiled and looked at Yuwen Chengdu.

“The subordinates are here.”

Yuwen Chengdu was appointed to lead the order.

“Lead the army to attack Hongnong County, the sooner you take it, the better.”

Liu Jing ordered.

“No.”

Yuwen Chengdu took the order.

Immediately, he took advantage of the night and led 20,000 regular troops to slowly advance towards Hongnong County.

In order not to alarm the enemy, he did not use torches to illuminate, relying on the faint moonlight, he approached Guancheng.

“Shasha…”

Although the footsteps were light, they appeared very dense.

However, the wind howls at midnight, just enough to cover up the footsteps.

In just a few breaths, the army approached the eye range of Guancheng.

“Attack!”

Yuwen Chengdu shouted.

“Swish…”

Then, the archers pulled the strings with their bows and dealt with Guancheng’s eyes first.

“Kill!”

Then the shouts of killing suddenly tore through the silence of the night.

The densely packed Youzhou army rushed towards Guancheng.

The sudden sound frightened the defenders of Guancheng, and they were instantly sleepy, and they were all energetic.

They looked in the direction where the voice came from, and their expressions suddenly became as white as paper.

I saw a dense crowd of black-armored soldiers who were already approaching the wall of Guancheng.

“Boom…”

The roar sounded, and the ladder was quickly built.

“Knock knock…”

Guancheng sounded the alarm bell and woke up Guo Xiao in the city.

“What happened?”

Guo Xiao went out and asked.

The soldiers outside the door couldn’t say why.

Guo Xiao had to put on his armor while rushing towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, he found that the city head was already in turmoil.

The Youzhou army was extremely brave, stabbing with spears and slashing with large knives.

For a while, the defenders of Guancheng fell down the city in pieces, making a muffled sound.

Some soldiers who were not killed by the fall lay on the ground and wailed.

Guo Xiao only felt like he had been struck by lightning, and did not react for a long time.

“Die!”

With a loud gulp, he looked up.

I saw a gold-armored general at the head of the city, holding a phoenix wing boring, which was a majestic and majestic man.

Everywhere it passes, countless heads will fly up, just like the Asura God of War.

“General under King Yan, Yuwen Chengdu?”

Guo Qiang’s face twitched, and he trembled and said what a word.

Yuwen Chengdu’s power has spread throughout the entire Western Liang Army.

After all, that was the only unparalleled general who could be on par with Lu Bu.

“Could it be that King Yan is crazy and wants to capture Chang’an with a 20,000 Youzhou army?”

Guo Xiao couldn’t imagine it.

Isn’t this hitting a stone with a pebble and doing something meaningless?

In the end, the Youzhou army will only be exhausted, and Luoyang cheapens the other princes.

Many thoughts are just a single thought.

“General, what should I do?”

Its adjutant general also hurriedly inquired.

Now there are only two choices in front of Guo Qiang, either abandon Hongnong County and retreat, or stick to this place.

“Retire!”

Guo Xiao made a decision in an instant.

Yuwen Chengdu has all gone to the head of the city, and if he continues to fight, he will also plant here.

The military order was issued, and Guo Xiao turned around and left.

Its adjutant generals followed, followed by the rest of the soldiers, except for the defenders at the head of the city.

They can only surrender, or be mercilessly killed by the Youzhou army.

Hearing the screams of his own soldiers, Guo Qiantou did not dare to reply, and just rushed wildly.

At the same time, he was also guessing that since the Youzhou Army appeared here, the scout did not have the slightest news back.

It means that the scouts are estimated to have all been eliminated, so that the Youzhou army quietly came to the city pass.

“You must go back quickly and tell the Lord about the Youzhou Army.”

Guo Xiao secretly said in his heart.

Putting away his thoughts, he increased his speed again, knowing that the shouts behind him were getting farther and farther away, and he really relaxed.

The defenders of Guancheng completely collapsed their hearts, and the direct defeat was like a mountain, and many people were bumping around like headless flies.

Yuwen Chengdu led the army and came directly to the city gate to open the city gate.

After the city gate was opened, Liu Jing and Yao Guangxiao entered the city with Xuanjia iron horses.

“Surrender, we surrender!”

The remaining defenders of Guancheng put down their weapons and said.

If you do not surrender, there is only a dead end.

Yuwen Chengdu did not answer, but looked towards the lord.

Liu Jing nodded, and Yuwen Chengdu accepted the surrender of the defenders of Guancheng.

Then it was to clean up the battlefield, pacify the people of Hongnong County, and take the rest of the city.

This great war ended quickly, and the door to Chang’an was opened.
