After leaving the city, the torrent of Xiliang cavalry quickly gathered into a huge cavalry formation, sweeping towards the sky-booming cart two hundred steps away with a momentum that seemed to crush the world.

"Let it go!" The general commanding the crossbow soldiers took the command of the order flag under the Xiliang Iron Cavalry formed a formation. The three-stone crossbow did not shoot. This time, the two rows of soldiers holding two stone crossbows were responsible for attacking. The moment the order flag was waving, the front row of crossbows quickly shot the crossbows in his hand and retreated out of their position. The second row of crossbows fired the second round of crossbows at the opponent after waiting for a while. Then the first row of soldiers had filled the crossbows and shot them again.

After such a cycle, the huge cavalry formation fell to the ground in pieces before it could show its might. There were 3,000 elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Li Jue didn't even have time to command more, so he watched these Xiliang Iron Cavalry fell to the wilderness outside the city gate.

There were a total of three thousand iron cavalry, but they were the elite soldiers in Li Jue's hands. The plate armor on their bodies did not provide them with the expected protection. The yellow crossbow with extremely strong penetration could easily penetrate the plate armor and penetrate their bodies.

Li Ru pressed his hands against the female wall. Looking at the shocking scene, the knuckles of his hands became a little white due to excessive force.

He never thought that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who was famous all over the world, became so vulnerable in front of the Shu army. The opponent's crossbow was loaded too quickly. He shot arrows in such a cycle, forming a continuous rain of arrows. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry could not get close and was shot all over the place. Only more than a hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry who were behind were ridden back to the city when they saw that the situation was not good. However, after this battle, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Mei County was considered to have been beaten and destroyed.

What's worse is that such a shocking scene was a devastating blow to morale.

During this period, the stone bomb of the Sky-Booming Car had been refilled. With a new round of roar, the stone bomb had not yet been knocked down, and the city wall was already in chaos, with soldiers pushing each other everywhere, and some people even started running under the city wall.

"Tread the rooftop, climb the ladder! Take a attack!" Xu Rong gave another order, and ten giant wells began to move towards the city wall. At the same time, under the push of the soldiers, one siege ladder also began to move towards the city wall, and the army began to advance.

The two rounds of stone bombs, coupled with the damage of the almost entire cavalry of the Western Liang, had already caused the morale of the Xiliang soldiers at the top of the city to collapse. At this moment, with the army attacking, the defenders at the top of the city had no intention of fighting again.

"Lord, let's retreat first!" A general pulled Li Jue and said bitterly: "I'm afraid this city can't be defended."

"Retreat? Where to withdraw?" Li Jue roared with red eyes: "As soon as Ji County is broken, Chang'an has nowhere to defend. When you retreat at this time, will you give Chang'an a hand??"

"Lord!" the general said in a low voice: "If the Shu army's weapons are used to attack the city, our army will definitely lose. It is better to withdraw from the city first and fight against the Shu army in a field, so that we have some chance of winning!"

Li Jue was suffocated when he heard this. Indeed, the giant catapult cart, three-stone crossbow, and two-stone crossbow with extremely fast filling speeds, alone have already lost all the morale of the defenders on the city. Generally, it is beneficial to the defenders in the siege. However, with the emergence of new weapons such as Ye Zhao, the war pattern may have to be rewritten.

Jing Jin had slowly pushed to a distance of about 150 steps. The well-shaped slab, which was like a small fort, began to pour arrows towards the city. The advantage of being condescending, coupled with the strong bow of the Shu army's strong bows were far enough to even shoot clusters of arrows into the city. The defenders at the city quickly fought back with bows and arrows, but they still couldn't reach them. Even with Jing Jin's push forward, the range of the bows and arrows could reach the Jing Jin, but with a baffle and armor, the Xiliang army's arrow clusters rarely hurt the crossbowmen hidden in the Jing Jin.

"Stone generator, destroy these wells for me!" Li Jue gritted his teeth.

The stone generators on the city tower began to fire stones in front of them. However, compared with the accuracy of the sky-booming car, the biggest problem with these stone generators is that their accuracy is too poor. More than a dozen stone bombs fell, and only one hit the well, and the effect caused was not enough to make the well lose its effect.

In just a moment, the ladder climbed the sky was erected on the wall of Mei County through the moat. The bottom of these ladders was fixed on a triangular cart. It not only pushed quickly, but also provided cover for the soldiers behind. After being placed on the wall, the soldiers who pushed the body of the car quickly removed the wheels. Even if no one supported them, the defenders on the city were unable to push down the ladders like they would against ordinary siege ladders.

On the top of the city, someone tried to hook the ladders with a long hook, but the ladders did not move at all. The soldiers who poked their heads were killed by the Shu army climbing up the ladder with arrows.

"Don't be afraid of them!" Li Jue looked around. Although he had escaped a lot, there were still many soldiers around him. They admitted to the defeat of the equipment. But when fighting on the city wall, the other party could not attack his own people, right?

However, when the soldiers wearing vine armor climbed up the ladder, Li Jue was a little stunned. The swords and guns of the Xiliang army could not break through the layer of vine armor on the other side. The Shu army wearing vine armor rushed into the crowd unscrupulously and slashed left and right. In just a moment, hundreds of people rushed up and fought with the Xiliang army guarding the city. Their attacks were ineffective, while the opponent's weapons could easily tear their fragile cloth armor.

"Lord, retreat quickly, I can't defend it anymore!" A confidant general of Li Jue was surrounded by three Shu troops at the same time, roaring shrillly. The sword in his hand slashed on these people again and again, but he could only smash the layer of leather outside the vine armor. The three Shu troops cooperated tacitly, one blocked the knife, and two attacked. However, the moment the general spoke, the three of them saw the flaws and took action at the same time. The three swords were immersed in the other party's body at the same time, stirring hard. The general's burly body trembled violently for a few times, and as the three of them retreated, there was no sound.

More and more Shu troops climbed up along the ladder, not all of them were wearing vine armor, but these vine armor troops that took the lead did bring devastating blows to the Xiliang army. More and more people began to escape, and fewer and fewer people could hold their position.

Faced with such an almost invincible army, the only thing the Xiliang Army can feel now is despair. Even if there are still a large number of soldiers in the city now, it is almost impossible to defend the city wall at this moment.

Retreat!

Seeing that several generals were killed by some soldiers, Li Jue issued a bitter order to withdraw his troops. If he continued to fight, it would only add to the loss.

"Listen to the soldiers of Xiliang in the city, Li Jue held the emperor hostage, filthed the palace, and humiliated all officials. His crimes were unforgivable. Our lord Ye Zhao was the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty. This time, he raised his troops to eliminate the thieves for the country and did not want to kill more. As long as Li Jue was killed, our lord will not blame him!" On the city tower, Xu Rong had already brought his personal guards to the city and personally presided over the war, shouting loudly to the fleeing Xiliang army.

Li Jue had just come down from the city. When he heard this, he felt cold all over his body, and the gazes around him seemed to have changed.

"Don't pay attention to him and leave the city!" Li Jue did not dare to stay here for too long, so he hurriedly took his personal guards out of the city.

On the other hand, Hu Feng, who was rushing over with Duan Wei, was about to take action, but was stopped by Duan Wei.

"This is the best time to kill him, why stop me?" Hu Feng looked at Duan Wei in confusion.

"At this moment, Li Jue has been defeated, and killing him is useless. It is better to follow him to meet with Guo Si. If they can provoke the relationship between the two and ask Li Jue to kill Guo Si, the general will kill Li Jue again, and then form a good commander, then the land in Guanzhong will be owned by the general." Duan Wei smiled.

"Will it be so easy?" Hu Feng said uncertainly.

"Of course, and even if the general kills Li Jue now, in the chaos of war, the Xiliang army has been defeated at this moment, and it is difficult for the general to restrain his subordinates!" Duan Wei smiled and said, "It is easy to cause misunderstandings from the Shu army. It is better to follow Li Jue out of the city first!"

"Okay, I'll follow you!" Hu Feng nodded, feeling reasonable, and immediately took his confidant and Duan Wei to the outside of the city, gathering many Xiliang soldiers along the way.

After the Shu army captured the city, they did not engage in many entanglements in the city. They just drove all the Xiliang troops out of the city and stopped chasing.

"Next, let's look at Wen You's ability." Ye Zhao led the generals to the city tower, looked at the Xiliang army running around in a panic all over the ground, and said to everyone with a smile.

"Lord, although Chang'an is now taken down by General Guan, there are only 3,000 people under General Guan's command. Even if our Shu army is brave and good at fighting, there are 30,000 troops in the Hedong Wei family this time. The last general is afraid that General Guan will be in trouble!" Xu Rong came to Ye Zhao and bowed and said, "Now, Ji County has been taken down. Although there is a Xiliang army in the direction of martial arts, it is difficult to completely block the road. It is better to send a group of troops to support General Guan first, stabilize the situation in Chang'an, and wait until our army defeats the rioters in Li Guo, and then rectify it?"

"Okay!" Ye Zhao nodded and said, "Ji Ling, you lead 8,000 troops to support Chief Yun, tell him that you just need to defend Chang'an and don't send troops without authorization!"

Ye Zhaozhen was afraid that Guan Yu would have any strange ideas. Although he successfully attacked Chang'an this time, there was a certain amount of luck in this. If it weren't for Wei Ji leading his troops to attack, Guan Yu would take advantage of the loopholes. It would not be easy for three thousand people to capture Chang'an, which had eight thousand Xiliang troops stationed.

"Here!" Ji Ling bowed and took the order, took the command arrow and turned around and left.

Ye Zhao ordered people to quickly clean up the remains of the battlefield, and Zhang Bang An Min, and the accompanying officials were sent to preside over the affairs of Ji County. During this Northern Expedition, Ye Zhao brought enough governance talents. Shuzhong Academy had hoarded some excess talents in the past two years, which can now be used on a large scale.
