The chaos of the Western Expeditionary Army made Gongsun Shu's army feel like a chicken's blood, and Li Meng and Deputy Yuan commanded the army and went straight to Chang'an City.

Gongsun Shujun led by Li Meng and Deputy Yuan was less than two miles away from Chang'an City, the gates of Chang'an City were still wide open, and the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army were crowding into the city, and people blocked the city gates, causing the city gates to be closed at all.

Seeing this, Li Meng was overjoyed and immediately sent a cavalry under his command to kill the Han army that was huddled outside Chang'an City.

After receiving Li Meng's order, a general led more than 2,000 horsemen and rushed straight to the Han army outside the city.

When the cavalry entered Chang'an City within 100 paces, the arrows shot sparsely on the head of the city, and the arrows that did not form an arrow array did not pose much threat to the charging cavalry team.

The speed of the cavalry team did not decrease, and continued to charge forward against the arrows at the head of Chang'an City.

Seeing that the cavalry was getting closer and closer to the chaotic Han army, he suddenly divided a part of his forces from the Han army and took the initiative to meet the cavalry.

Seeing that the Han army did not know whether to live or die, and wanted to resist the hooves of his cavalry with his flesh and blood, the general led by him let out a long roar, raised the knife in his hand, waved it forward, and shouted: "Charge at full speed!" Kill all the enemies! ”

The Han army that took the initiative to meet the cavalry, almost thousands of people, at first, they had no formation, just mixed together in a disorderly manner, but when the cavalry was about to rush to their front, the miscellaneous soldiers in front quickly retreated, revealing the neat infantry phalanx behind.

In front of the infantry phalanx, there were all heavy shield soldiers.

The heavy shield guards held iron shields more than half a man high, erected on the ground, in a horizontal row, and looked like a steel wall as far as the eye could see.

Behind the shield, halberd spears poked their heads out, turning the steel wall into a steel hedgehog.

The cavalry who had already rushed to the front saw this, and their faces changed greatly.

There is no need for people to take the reins of the war horse, the war horse has a natural fear of sharp objects, in the face of this dense halberd head, spearhead, the war horse slowed down urgently, neighed, and the two front hooves of many war horses were raised high, and they were frightened to spin in place.

The war horses in front stopped, but the war horses in the back continued to charge forward, and the cavalry charge did not hit the Han army formation, but all crashed into their own people.

War horses collide with war horses, people collide with people, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of cavalry, all of a sudden.

This is what happens when the cavalry charges without blinding the horse.

Blindfolded horse, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of him, the war horse can rush straight over.

But if the horse is not blindfolded, once there is a sharp object like a forest in front of it, the war horse will lose control.

You must know that the speed of the cavalry is too fast when charging, and as soon as the cavalry in front stops, the cavalry behind will collide one after another.

Before the two sides had officially engaged in battle, the casualties caused by the collision of the cavalry side alone were innumerable, and the cavalry charge also stopped.

Someone in the Han camp roared, and then the camp began to move forward.

The phalanx at the front of the heavy shield soldiers is definitely not fast, but the defense is extremely strong, and the cavalry charge has been blocked, and it can no longer cause a strong impact on the heavy shield soldiers, which makes the heavy shield soldiers who opened the way in front of them feel like they have entered a no-man's land.

The strength of the cavalry lies in its extremely high mobility and ability to charge into battle, and now the cavalry of Gongsun Shu's army has been forced to stop in place, and the advantage of cavalry has disappeared.

Seeing the Han army advancing up, the cavalry stabbed the Han army on the opposite side with their spears.

The bodies of the heavy shield soldiers shrank behind their shields, and the huge iron shields not only protected their whole bodies, but also prevented them from being pierced by the enemy's spears.

The ear chakra was tinkling, the crisp sound continued, and clusters of sparks appeared on the Han army's shield array.

As soon as the cavalry attack ended, crossbows and bows were shot from behind the heavy shield soldiers, and the cavalry sitting on the horses became the live targets of the Han army.

One after another, people were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.

Some of the cavalry were just wounded and dismounted, lying on the ground, trying to get back up, but the advancing Han army was already mercilessly crushing over them.

For a time, the cavalry of Gongsun Shu's army was in chaos, and the main general led by him brandished a long knife and shouted loudly: "Don't mess up! Don't mess around! Kill the enemy with me! ”

In such an unfavorable situation, a timely retreat was the best plan, but the general was not reconciled.

Li Meng and Deputy Yuan were both looking at him from behind, just waiting for him to win, at this time, how could he retreat?

As far as he is concerned, he can only bite the bullet and continue to fight this battle.

In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command, he personally charged into battle with a sword, urging his horse to rush to the front of the Han army's formation, and in just an instant, several halberds and spears pierced out from the rear of the heavy shield.

The general struggled to wave the knife in his hand, and the halberd and spear that stabbed him were blocked one after another, but the halberd and spear that stabbed the war horse under his crotch were deeply stabbed into the body of the war horse.

The horse screamed and fell to the ground, and the general fell off the horse.

He stood up on the ground, facing the advancing Han army, he roared and slashed.

There was a loud bang in the ear chakra, and the blade slashed on the heavy shield, splitting a dent on the shield surface, and the powerful impact force made the Han soldiers behind the shield couldn't help but take a step back, and the hands holding the shield were shocked sour and numb.

The general did not relent, picked up his broadsword, and continued to chop, stabbing a halberd from his left and right sides.

The halberd hung with a sharp whistling sound, which made the general's hairs stand on end.

He could only withdraw his sword and dodge to the side, and as soon as he let go of the two halberds, three more spears stabbed at him.

The general roared angrily, picked up the long knife from the bottom up, and clicked, the shafts of the three spears were broken together, and the spearheads fell to the ground.

Before he could breathe his breath, suddenly, a flying arrow shot out of the Han army's formation, hitting him in the shoulder.

The general snorted, leaned back, and took two steps back.

Before he could stabilize his figure, the Han army array advanced to his approach, and the heavy shield slammed into him.

Hit by it, he took two steps backwards, unable to stand, and sat on the ground.

The surrounding cavalry was about to rush to the rescue, when the advancing heavy shield soldiers lifted the heavy shield and stepped over the general's body.

Suddenly, the figure of the general disappeared from the battlefield, and only screams could be heard from the Han army's array, and blood spurted out.

It was only ten or twenty seconds before and after, and a bloody severed head was raised high by a long halberd from the Han army's array.

Seeing this severed head, the faces of the cavalry present all changed greatly, and the owner of the severed head was not their main general?

The rest of the cavalry had no intention of fighting, so they turned their horses and ran back to their own camp.

When the cavalry fled, a rain of arrows shot out from the Han army's array, knocking the fleeing cavalry to the ground one by one.

Of the more than 2,000 cavalry sent by Li Meng, only 1,800 people escaped back in the end, and even the main general who led the team died in the camp of the Han army.

Li Meng, who was standing outside the range of Chang'an, saw clearly, angry and hateful, and roared angrily: "The whole army is attacking!" Let me kill into the city, and I will leave no armor left in the enemy army in the city! ”

"Kill-" The soldiers of Gongsun Shu's army were not affected by the defeat of the small group of cavalry, and their morale shouted in unison.

Immediately afterwards, the phalanx of Gongsun Shu's army began to advance.

At the same time as Gongsun Shu's army advanced, the Han army crowded outside Chang'an City had all entered the city, and the open city gate was also closed.

Li Meng sat in charge of the Chinese army, commanded his men, and launched a fierce attack on the southern city of Chang'an.

Through the siege battle, it can be clearly seen that the defenders of Chang'an are not well prepared, one is that the number of defenders on the city is not large, and the other is that the city defense facilities are not complete, and there are many rolling logs and stones, but there is no oil.

You must know that for the side defending the city, the fire oil is a sharp weapon to defend the city, the fire oil is tilted down, and the attacker can cause a large area of burns, and once the fire oil is lit, the outside of the city can instantly turn into a sea of fire, no matter how fierce the attacker's offensive is, it must be blocked from the sea of fire.

Now the defenders of Chang'an are not even prepared with oil, which makes Li Meng, who is watching the battle, more confident.

He raised his horsewhip, pointed to Chang'an City in front of him, and asked with a smile: "All the generals have said, when will our army break the city?" ”

Yuan Deputy smiled and said confidently: "General Li, our army can break through the defense of Chang'an City in three hours at most!" ”

"Three hours?"

Li Meng raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Another general shook his head and said, "Judging from the end of the future, it won't take two hours!" The thief army is so vulnerable, Your Majesty should have sent us and others to subdue Sanfu! ”

Li Meng said proudly: "Our army will go down to Chang'an first, and then go down to Feng Yi on the left and Fufeng on the right, at most for a month, and as little as half a month, Sanfu is in the bag of our army!" No! It's in His Majesty's bag! ”

The generals laughed one after another, and said: "Your Majesty thinks about Sanfu for a long time, what others can't do, we can do it today, this immortal achievement, it belongs to us!" ”

"I am waiting for this miraculous feat, thanks to General Li! If it weren't for General Li taking me out of Shu and sneaking up on Sanfu, no matter how great the credit is, it has nothing to do with us! ”

"Yes, yes, I should thank General Li for that!"

Listening to everyone's praise of you and me, Li Meng became more and more proud.

He waved his hand to everyone, pointed forward with his horsewhip, and said: "Order the former army soldiers to tear open the Chang'an city defense and open the Chang'an city gate for me within an hour!" ”

The herald said yes and rode forward.

Gongsun Shujun, who attacked Chang'an, obviously felt that the defenders were not strong, and the resistance was not fierce, so the morale of the attacking generals was greatly boosted, and the offensive became more and more ferocious.

In the south city of Chang'an, there are three city gates, namely the Ping Gate, the Anmen, and the Covered Ang Gate, and the first one that can't be carried is the Ping Gate.

The flat gate is next to the Weiyang Palace, once the flat gate is breached, the enemy outside the city can directly take the Weiyang Palace.

Seeing that the defenders here in Pingmen were about to be unable to hold on, the attacking Gongsun Shu army began to gather in large numbers here in Pingmen.

Under the offensive of Gongsun Shu's army like a storm crashing on the shore, the defenders here in Pingmen could no longer support it, and they retreated from the city wall and fled into the city.

In this way, it opened the door for the attacking Gongsun Shujun.

An elite group of Gongsun Shu troops forcibly attacked the head of the city, some of them resisted the defenders, and some of them rushed into the city, forcibly advanced to the city gate hole of Pingmen, and opened the city gate.

As soon as the city gate opened, the Gongsun Shujun outside the city rushed to the city.

Chang'an, as an important place in Beijing, is not a city wall, but has two layers of inner and outer city walls, and now Gongsun Shujun has broken through the outer city wall, and the next thing to face them is the inner city wall.

Between the inner and outer city walls, there is a circular corridor about 20 meters wide.

A large number of Gongsun Shujun gathered in the Yongdao.

The people transported the ladders from outside the city to the inner city walls, put them on the inner city walls, and began to storm the inner city walls.

Different from the outer city wall, the strength of the Han army guarding the inner city wall has increased significantly, above the city head, arrows rained down, and the Gongsun Shu army crowded in the Yongdao has nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, all exposed to the arrows of the Han army.
