When Zhao Yun and Wen Chou led the supporting troops to pursue the defeated Xiliang army and arrived at the palace, Dong Cheng was showing off his power under the city tower with Xiliang's army and horses.
This guy, who was originally from Xiliang, was too mythical about the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army, thinking that Xiliang's soldiers and horses were the best in the world.
Now that he has 20,000 troops under his command, he can dominate the world and be invincible. He also knew that Jushou and the others only had 10,000 troops, half of his own strength, so he underestimated them. He thought that the people and horses in Jizhou would be defeated and that it would only be a matter of time before they captured the palace.
However, after several waves of attacks, there was no progress. Instead, piles of corpses were left behind. So far, they have not set foot on the tower, nor have they posed a decent threat to the Jizhou soldiers guarding the city.
Looking at the attacking Xiliang soldiers, they retreated. Dong Cheng was also anxious and couldn't stand it anymore. After killing several Xiliang generals who were leading the retreat, he asked his generals to reorganize the charge. Ask them not to be afraid and not to stop.
But he rode his war horse to the front of the city tower, out of the range of the bow and arrow, and shouted at the tower.
"Listen to the Jizhou troops and horses opposite, you have been surrounded, and now the whole of Chang'an is completely under the control of my army. If you don't want to die, surrender quickly. Otherwise, the day the city is broken, I will go on a killing spree." .
Although the attack did not go smoothly, Dong Cheng still did not have the fighting power of Jizhou's troops and was very convinced of his troops. A bit arrogant, he deliberately deceived the Jizhou army and persuaded them to surrender.
I heard that Dong Cheng was a little arrogant and was inciting and demagogueing people. Not to mention, the troops in Jizhou were really a little commotion when they heard his seductive voice, and their morale was a little unstable.
Jushou had been prepared for this. He looked at the Xiliang army below with disdain and smiled at the city.
"Haha, I think you are just deceiving yourself and others. You haven't conquered the city tower yet, and you dare to say that you have controlled Chang'an? It's just a daydream! As for asking us to surrender, you are really stupid and naive. My lord's army is already on the way. , I guess you will be back today. You will not be able to protect yourselves by then, but you still dare to deceive the morale of my army here. You are really not afraid of death!"
Following Jushou's wishes, Zhu Ling also stood up, raised his weapon, and shouted, "Humph, a group of rabble dares to show off their power in front of our army. Those who are not afraid of death can come over. Grandpa is here waiting for his grandchildren to come and die!"
"Yes, the general is right. Grandsons, come here and die quickly. Grandpa has good things here, greeting you!"
"Haha, don't be afraid of death, come here and compete with me!"
"I think the enemy general is a softie. It's better to go home and embroider!"
The morale of Jizhou was boosted by these words, and they all ordered to agree, laughing at the Xiliang soldiers below, waiting for them to come and die.
All kinds of obscene words were laughed at the Xiliang army, making them very angry. As their leader, Dong Cheng was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
"You, you guys, are really hopeless. In this case, the whole army obeys the order and kills me. Attack the palace, kill them all and smash them to pieces."
Dong Cheng was so angry that he saw that his attack on the enemy's morale not only had no effect, but had the opposite effect, making his morale even higher. But on his side, he got into trouble and got scolded.
It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated! Who could hold back at this situation? Dong Zhuo couldn't hold back anyway, so he shouted to kill them all. The Xiliang army under my command was also very angry. Usually we were the only ones who scolded others, while others laughed at us.
If you can't bear it, just do it. So they formed a siege team in twos and threes, without the need of a general's command, and continued to attack the tower. Take revenge and kill all these beasts.
Unfortunately, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. What greeted them was a volley of arrows and rolling rocks sliding down, not even a moment later. The Xiliang soldiers abandoned a large number of corpses and retreated again.
Seeing that his soldiers were retreating again, he didn't dare to charge anymore. Dong Cheng, who was supervising the battle beside him, screamed angrily and was a little furious, but there was still nothing he could do.
When he was at his wits' end, he suddenly saw several flags fluttering in the wind behind him, and a large group of people arrived. It should be his reinforcements.
Dong Cheng was a little excited, thinking that he could get revenge now. After taking a closer look, his expression changed drastically. I suddenly fell off my horse and didn’t know what to do?
One look at Dong Cheng's expression and he knew that he was an enemy rather than a friend, otherwise he would have looked so helpless and incompetent.
When I got closer, I saw the banners of "Zhao", "Wen" and other Yuan forces, indicating that reinforcements from Jizhou had arrived.
Zhu Ling was on the city tower, standing high and seeing far away. He saw the Yuan family's flag fluttering in the wind, and knew that the lord's army had arrived. He was very excited and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, the lord's reinforcements have arrived. Let's open the city gates with me and welcome the army into the city. Attack them from both sides and kill them all!"
"Open the city gate and kill them all!"
"Open the city gate and kill them all!"
Even without Zhu Ling's special reminder, Jizhou's army and horses also saw the lord's reinforcements arriving, and they were also Jizhou generals Zhao Yun and Wen Chou. Seeing this, they were very excited, all elated, and shouted with murderous intent.
What, it turned out to be the God of War Zhao Yun himself leading the army. How could the Xiliang soldiers resist? It would be good if they didn't sit down on the ground in fear.
Seeing that his coach was not up to par, he was so frightened that he fell down from his horse. Everyone is dejected. If the Lord is like this, why should he resist?
I don't know who took the lead, and threw the weapons to the ground as a sign of surrender. Other Xiliang soldiers followed suit and dropped their weapons one after another. Squatting on the ground, raising his hands, surrendering, not even a single person resisted.
Zhao Yun came with a spear and a horse. When he saw that the Xiliang soldiers had surrendered, he called his soldiers to surrender them.
Wen Chou came excitedly, originally thinking that he could have a good killing, but in the end, the whole army surrendered. He was so angry that he cursed and complained constantly.
"Damn these spineless guys, they surrendered like this. I haven't had enough killing yet, what a bad luck!".
Seeing that Wen Chou was taking advantage of him and still acting obediently, Zhao Yun interrupted and reminded, "Okay, business is more important. We'd better surrender them quickly, go see Mr. Jushuo, follow his command, and recover Chang'an."
After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Wen Chou also reacted and called his men to help and surrender the enemy troops.
After that, the two of them didn't care about anything else, including Dong Cheng, who was still paralyzed on the ground. Let's go to the bottom of the city tower to meet Zhu Ling and the others. According to the instructions of the lord, he listened to the command of Jushou's military advisor and planned the following actions to regain Chang'an and welcome the lord's army into the city.
