In Chang'an City, with the rise of civil and military ministers in recent days, although Li Xian and others have become more unscrupulous, in comparison, Chang'an is still peaceful without any conflicts.

The burning torch has been extinguished, and the faint green smoke drifts out of the city with the breeze, and finally dissipates without a trace, and the sky to the east shows the white color of fish belly.

"The changing of the guard hasn't come yet?" A Xiliang soldier who was keeping watch stretched out. The early morning in midsummer is the most comfortable time of the day. It's not easy to feel the coolness in the air in this midsummer season.

The wall of the enemy tower stood up. After sitting all night, his legs were a little numb. He patted the soldiers beside him and asked.

"Go away, are you going to die like me!?" The soldier standing next to the female wall was slapped by him, and he almost fell from the watchtower. This five-foot-high city wall fell from here, how could there be any courtesy?

After kicking the other party hard, he supported the parapet and looked outside and said, "There's still a moment left."

"I didn't mean it. Let's have a drink together and then have a good sleep?" The soldier from before was kicked, but he was not angry and said with a grin.

In Chang'an City now, the Xiliang Army is the king. Especially after Li Jue left recently, if they had to take turns patrolling Chang'an and keeping vigil on the city wall, they would almost forget that they were soldiers.

"Alright." The soldier nodded and glanced casually at the plain outside the city bathed in the morning light. He vaguely spotted a dark shadow in the corner of his eye. He didn't pay attention to it at first and continued to discuss with Pao Ze where to drink for a while, but next time

For a moment, I felt something was wrong and quickly looked outside the city.

"What's wrong?" my companion asked in confusion.

"There is an army!" The soldier looked solemn, standing on the city wall and looking far into the distance.

"Could it be that the general has returned victorious?" The companion looked in the direction in which the other party was looking in doubt, and his expression was hard to read. It was obviously not the case.

"Get up quickly, there are enemy troops!"

The Xiliang Army's combat literacy is quite high. After realizing that it was not Li Jue's army, or even the Xiliang Army, they responded quickly. The sound of shrill horns rang through Chang'an, and at the same time, someone lit up smoke on the enemy tower.

In the early morning light, pillars of smoke were erected one after another, and at the same time, there was a series of horn sounds that resounded throughout every corner of the city.

The sleeping Xiliang troops walked out of their camps one after another and quickly assembled under the command of generals at all levels.

In Li Xian's mansion, Li Xian, who was sleeping soundly with Huangfu in his arms, heard a rapid knock on the door. Li Xian sat up impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"General, traces of the Bingzhou Army have been found outside the city!" the guard outside the door shouted.

Li Xian rubbed his aching head, glanced at the beauty who was also awakened, and was lying on the couch looking at the mosquito net with a blank expression. He rubbed it twice irritably, got off the couch, put on his clothes, and

Said: "Go and call Li Li, Hu Feng and the others come over."

"Here!"

The personal guards left quickly, and Li Xian quickly put on his clothes and waved to Huangfu to help him put on his armor.

"Hurry up, if you delay the military flight, I will kill your entire family!" Li Xian stared at the Huangfu family and said solemnly.

Huangfu's delicate body trembled, she put on her clothes silently, came behind Li Xian to help Li Xian put on his armor, and destroyed the Huangfu family? If it were Li Jue, he might have a lot of worries, but people like Li Xian are not that particular, just Li Xian

In the days since Jue left, Li Xian has led his troops to destroy several nobles who used to be against Li Jue or Li Xian. Such threats have made the Huangfu family numb to life, and they cannot really remain indifferent.

.

Soon, Li Xian put on his battle armor and pushed out the door. Li Li and the others hadn't arrived yet, but with the sound of police sirens all over the city, Li Xian didn't dare to wait any longer. He immediately said to his guards: "Inform them to come to the city.

Find me, everyone else, follow me!"

After all, Li Xian was a person who had experienced battles. After seizing power at Yique Pass, he guarded Dagong Pass. Although he was ultimately defeated by Yuan Shu, it was also a lack of strategy. However, in terms of leading troops, Li Xian was still in the army for a long time.

He has some skills, otherwise Li Jue wouldn't be able to let Li Xian lead the army.

Outside Chang'an City, Taishi Ci also saw the smoke rising from the top of Chang'an City, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He originally wanted to attack at night, but the troops he led were all new troops, and a night attack required a lot of troops.

The troops are obviously not up to standard.

"General, there is no need to be discouraged. According to the information from Chang'an, the people Li Jue left to defend the city are all elites of the Xiliang army. It is not that easy to attack the city at night." Next to Taishi Ci, Wang Biao said with a smile.

Although Chen Mo took Taishi Ci as the vanguard this time, after all, Taishi Ci had no experience of fighting alone. Therefore, Chen Mo sent Wang Biao to Taishi Ci. Firstly, Wang Biao had a calm personality. Secondly, Wang Biao had once guarded Qi County.

His experience, not to mention how powerful, was at least able to check for deficiencies, so this time Taishi Ci led the vanguard to attack Chang'an, with Wang Biao and Zheng Tu as his deputy generals.

Taishi Ci nodded when he heard this, looked at the towering city wall and said, "It's just such a majestic city. It's not easy for our army to attack it by force."

Wang Biao nodded and said: "Our army only has five thousand people. It is difficult to attack such a majestic city. I remember that it took more than 100,000 Xiliang troops to attack this city for three days. It was because Lu Bu left and the city was empty.

With the strength of our army, it is really difficult to attack this city by force."

Taishi Ci nodded and said: "General Wang You will command the soldiers to set up camp. I will take my personal guards to inspect the opponent's city defense layout."

Wang Biao was Chen Mo's elder, and Taishi Ci naturally knew this. Therefore, although he was his lieutenant, Taishi Ci was quite polite to Wang Biao and Zheng Tu.

"General, you don't have to be like this. There are military rules in the army, and those are the general's orders." Wang Biao said with a salute.

Taishi Ci nodded, got on his horse, and patrolled along Chang'an City with Zheng Tu and his guards to check the opponent's defense situation. Wang Biao arranged for the soldiers to set up camp.

On Chang'an City, Li Li, Hu Feng, and Li Jin also hurried over to inspect the city defenses with Li Xian.

"Brother, there don't seem to be many people on the other side." Li Jin lay on the parapet and looked towards the other side. When he saw that the other side was starting to set up camp, he said with some confusion.

"Thousands of troops." Li Xian nodded. He only looked at the opponent's military appearance and could estimate a rough range. Li Xian still had this ability: "It should be Chen Mo's vanguard army."

"Look, a troop of troops is coming out over there!" Hu Feng pointed at the enemy army and said.

"It should be the other party's scouts." Li Xian didn't pay attention. The other party only had more than a dozen riders.

Hu Feng said with a smile: "Brother, I will bring some people to arrest a few people so that we can find out the true nature of the other party."

Li Xian now holds the power of Chang'an. Hu Feng is naturally jealous and wants to make some meritorious deeds. If such good things happen again in the future, his uncle can think about him. Now the three Li Xian brothers are all Zhonglang generals, but he is just a general.

Captain Qi, it is impossible to say that he is not dissatisfied.

Li Xian glanced at it from a distance, nodded and said: "Be careful, the leader seems to be a general. If you bring a troop of troops there, it's best to capture that general alive."

"Here!" Hu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly agreed and ordered his troops to go out.

Taishi Ci and Zheng Tu were inspecting the surroundings of Chang'an City, but they saw the city walls were high and the city gates were thick. When they thought they had nowhere to start, they saw the gate on the opposite side suddenly opened, and a group of people rushed towards it. Taishi Ci

Ci frowned slightly and looked sharply at the men and horses that suddenly came out.

Zheng Tu said worriedly: "General, why don't you evacuate first?"

"The opponent only has one man." Taishi Ci looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said: "It's not a large army attacking, and they are all cavalry. If we retreat, we will not be able to outrun the opponent, so prepare for war!"

Following Taishi Ci's order, the guards quickly formed a formation. Taishi Ci rode in front of the formation and took off his own treasured bow from the horse. Seeing the opponent's cavalry formation rushing towards him, he quickly bent the bow and set the arrow, not carefully.

Look, after the bowstring is fully drawn, it suddenly shoots out.

Without looking at the result, he immediately took out two more arrow clusters from his quiver and put them on the string. Amidst the trembling sound of the bow string, the Xiliang cavalry who were charging straight ahead were shot down before they could get close.

, Taishi Ci did not shoot people, but his seated horses. The horses in the front row fell to the ground. Some of the Xiliang cavalry in the rear were able to cross with their superb riding skills, but most of them were caught off guard and tripped. Originally,

The momentum disappeared in an instant.

Hu Feng wanted to rein in his horse, but the cavalry behind him followed too closely. He just saw a man reining in his horse and collided directly with the cavalry who rushed up from behind. There was no trace of his body left. At this moment, he could only shout loudly.

He shouted, signaling the cavalry to stop slowly.

Taishi Ci didn't care what happened to the opponent. Seeing that the opponent's momentum was blocked, he shot the arrows faster and kept emptying the arrows in his bag. Taishi Ci threw the bow in his hand to the bodyguard beside him and threw the horse back

He took off the spurge and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. The horse felt pain and spread its hooves and rushed towards the enemy's formation.

"General!" Zheng Tu was shocked when he saw this, but he could no longer stop anyone, so he immediately ordered: "Charge!"

He took Taishi Ci's bodyguard and rushed after Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci's horse was so fast that he rushed in front of the enemy formation in an instant. The two Xiliang cavalry were a little unable to react, but they saw a flash of cold light in front of their eyes, and the cold halberd blade had passed through their throats, bringing up two puffs of blood, but Taishi Ci was unable to react.

It has passed between the two of them.

Hu Feng finally stopped his formation and was about to give orders when he saw that the enemy general had already rushed forward. The halberd swung in the air and struck from top to bottom. Hu Feng was so frightened that he quickly raised his spear to parry.

The halberd and the spear intersected, making a crisp sound, but Hu Feng didn't feel much force. Just when he was confused, he saw Taishi Ci drag the halberd shaft, so that the small branch of the halberd hooked the spear shaft, and Hu Feng

Before Feng Shang could react, he felt his hands light up, and Taishi Ci had already hooked the spear in his hand. With a flick of his hand, he knocked down the two Xiliang cavalry who were rushing up. Taishi Ci had already rushed in front of Hu Feng, and before Hu Feng could get closer, he flicked it away.

Feng drew his sword and grabbed his belt. Hu Feng felt force on his lower back. He was lifted up from the horse by Tai Shici while dancing. He looked at the oncoming Xiliang cavalry and swung it.

The Xiliang army was worried about hurting Hu Feng, so they had to retreat. Taishi Ci took the opportunity to push Hu Feng on the horse's back, turned the horse's head and left.

The Xiliang cavalry wanted to catch up and recapture their general, but Zheng Tu had already rushed up with Taishi Ci's bodyguard, and let Taishi Ci pass. Dozens of spears were thrust out, forming a spear formation, and they killed the Xiliang cavalry who were catching up.

Or forced to retreat.

Taishi Ci retreated into the formation and threw Hu Feng off his horse. Hu Feng felt like he was falling apart. His own bodyguards came forward and tied up Hu Feng.

Taishi Ci then rode his horse to the front of the formation. Looking at the Xiliang army that had lost its subordinates and was unable to move forward, he sneered and said: "Withdraw!"

The Xiliang army had no commander, and they didn't know what to do for a while. They watched helplessly as the Bingzhou army took Hu Feng away. Taishi Ci rode at the end and retreated a hundred steps before walking back with his guards in a swaggering manner.
