I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115 Xiliang Raiders
The [-] army led by Zhao Yun ran for thousands of miles, crossed the grassland, broke into the wilderness, and supported the war along the way. After occupying the Jieting first, garrisoned [-] troops in the Jieting, and led the rest of the army to pass through the Longshan Mountains and kill them from behind. To Guangwei County.

At this time, Guangwei County was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and there were less than [-] troops guarding the city. Zhao Yun adopted Tian Feng's opinion and planned to attack the city in the middle of the night.

At this time, the defender of Linwei City, the Guangwei County Government, had no idea that a surprise soldier would descend from the sky. In addition, Zhao Yun and others marched quickly, and they almost moved at the same time as Li Shimin's capture of Chang'an. Very lax.

In the dark night, the bright moon is hidden in the thick clouds, no trace can be seen, everything is silent, and there is no sound anywhere.

Now it was Yin time, when people were most sleepy, the soldiers and civilians in Linwei City were all asleep, and they didn't find thousands of elite soldiers from the Shenwu Army quietly approaching the city wall under the cover of night.

"嗖...嗖..." Flying claws whizzed up to the top of the city one by one, clung to the city wall tightly, and then, the soldiers below the city climbed up along the ropes.

The slight sound was very loud in this silent night, but the soldiers on the city wall were too low vigilance, and they didn't hear any movement at all in their deep sleep.

The officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Army climbed up the city wall along the rope, climbed up the city wall carefully, showed the short blade in their arms, and went towards the sleeping enemy.

"Puff...Puff..." The slight sound of the short blade cutting the enemy's throat can be heard even in the silent city.

The defenders at the top of the city were all killed in their sleep before they could react under the sneak attack of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army.

After a successful blow, the sergeant quietly descended to the inner city along the rope, opened the city gate with the joint efforts of all the troops, and then lit torches one by one to send a signal to the main army ambushing outside the city.

Immediately, Zhao Yun led [-] cavalrymen to rush towards the city at high speed. Horseshoes burst out, the ground shook, and the roar of huge horses pierced the silent night sky in an instant, finally waking up the enemies in the city.

Hearing such a loud noise, the captain guarding the city had a premonition that there must be a surprise attack by an army, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked someone to blow the horn of the enemy's attack, while he led his own guards to rush towards the south gate, trying to delay for a while. , Waiting for the army to come to guard the city gate.

The continuous horn, long and mournful, shocks people's hearts.

Although the reaction of the guards in the city was not too slow, the elite cavalry of the Shenwu Army led by Zhao Yun rushed over like a lightning bolt. Almost instantly, the leading army rushed into the city, and there were tens of thousands of infantry behind the army, all over the mountains and plains. Flock to the city gate.

The remaining defenders in the city were quickly submerged under the swords of the Shenwu Army. The army entered the city like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The sharp blades harvested the heads of each Xiliang Army. The government lost effective command again, and one after another fell into fighting on their own.

Zhao Yun took the lead, and a mountain-like figure looked like a celestial general, waving a cold long spear, and the enemy was heavily blocked, all of them were cut to death and crushed!Regardless of generals or soldiers, if you block, you will be shot down!

In less than an hour, Linwei was captured by Zhao Yun's army. The [-] soldiers defending the city either died or surrendered, while Zhao Yun's army had less than a thousand casualties.

The next day, Zhao Yun ordered Zhao Guang, his subordinate general, to lead [-] troops to seize Shangyu and other surrounding counties.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yun invited Tian Feng and Bu Xugu to discuss the matter of continuing to march.Several people were discussing the marching route, and the scouts in the army came to report in a hurry.

"Report... report..., there is an urgent military situation to report to the general." The scout said panting.

Zhao Yun frowned, but still asked calmly: "What are you panicking about! What about the military situation, report it quickly."

The scout took a few breaths, calmed down a little and said, "General Zhao, Army Division Tian, ​​a large number of enemy troops are coming towards Guangwei County from the direction of Tianshui. Looking at the mountains from a distance, there are at least [-] people. The flags of the army are flying , there are two big banners in front of the army, one is Han and the other is horse, and it will take half a day to kill here."

Tian Feng said solemnly: "General Zilong, I am afraid that Han Sui and Ma Teng from Xiliang came together. The troops are strong and powerful, so we should not underestimate them. I think we should first defend Guangwei County to block the enemy's eastward advance." It is not advisable to go west, and at the same time send a message to the lord, waiting for his order."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "According to the military adviser, the main task of our army is to cover the main force to seize Guanzhong and defend the Xiliang heroes. Now our army has achieved a strategic intention, and it is not appropriate to act rashly and cause trouble." Immediately sent an order to Li Shimin, requesting further instructions.

…………

In the general's mansion, Li Shimin gathered all his confidants together. During this period of time, the war was stalemate. Now Chang'an has been won, but it has not yet gained a firm foothold, and even the large areas in central and western Guan have not been taken yet.

In addition, Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang are entrenched in Xiliang, and their strength is not bad. Whether to take advantage of the momentum to attack requires Li Shimin to make a decision as soon as possible.

Li Shimin has received the report from Zhao Yun, and also knows that Ma Teng and Han Sui, who are unwilling to be lonely, are leading the troops.

Originally in history, Dong Zhuo invited the two to help him fight against the princes of the Kanto, but when the two came to kill them, Dong Zhuo was already dead.

…………

At first, Li Shimin sent Zhao Yun and Bu Xugu to lead an army of [-] to attack Guangwei County and Tianshui County in Longyou, just to prevent Han Sui and Ma Teng from coming to take advantage of the fire. Unexpectedly, the two men raised [-] troops, which really made Li Shimin guess right. up.

Without Zhao Yun's army occupying Guangwei County one step ahead, I am afraid that the Battle of Guanzhong will only become more confusing.

It's just that Li Shimin is a little hesitant whether to take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the separatist forces of Han Sui and Ma Teng who are entrenched in Xiliang in one fell swoop.

For one thing, the army under his command had just experienced a big battle, and the sergeants were exhausted and needed a rest. If they fought continuously, the morale of the army might be unstable.

In addition, the most important thing for him now is to stabilize Guanzhong, and he can no longer go on a personal expedition. The choice of the commander of the army also makes him a little entangled.

Looking at all the civil and military under his command, gathered together, fierce generals like clouds, counselors like rain, and the generals' warlike eyes, Li Shimin felt a strong desire to fight, and immediately, he made up his mind.

"I didn't say anything, fuck it, Xiliang will be settled in one war"

Immediately, he said majesticly: "Everyone, our army has just occupied most of Guanzhong, but the Chencang area has not yet been pacified, and Ma Teng and Han Sui who are entrenched in Xiliang have always kept our army on their backs. I decided not to delay. , and sent an army to pacify Xiliang."

When all the generals heard this, they were all eager to try, and asked for orders to fight.

"Haha, with such a brave general, why worry about the world being injustice, there will be more big battles in the future, so don't worry, everyone."
