Yan Xing, who had been on duty outside the palace, heard the conversation inside the palace clearly.
He felt something was wrong, so he immediately grabbed a soldier and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear what they just said?"
The soldier nodded.
"Okay, then you quickly leave the palace to find the general and tell him what happened just now without leaving a single word.
Do you understand?"
"clear" Big city.
Xu Rong rode over and reported to Liu Cheng: "General, all the houses have been cleared, and all the Xiliang soldiers hiding in the people's homes have been killed."
Liu Cheng did not show a happy smile when he heard this, and asked: "Okay, what time is it now?"
"It's past the time of ugliness" Liu Cheng said in a deep voice: "We don't have much time.
Send my order to the general, and order the troops of the upper, middle and lower groups to set aside half of the troops for preparation, and the rest will be used to launch the attack.
It is agreed that it will take a quarter of an hour.
Starting at the same time later, you will be in command of this route.
If anything happens, report it to the general immediately."
"Yes."
Xu Rong agreed, and immediately sent people to convey the order to Zhong Ji and Wu Fu, and quickly organized troops to prepare for the attack.
The quarter of an hour came quickly.
The upper, middle and lower groups launched attacks almost at the same time.
Xu Rong pulled out his sword and pointed forward: "Attack" "Ho ho ho!"
Several rows of soldiers from the Northern Army lined up neatly and walked in neat steps, approaching the obstacles ahead at a constant speed.
They held shields in their left hands and long swords in their right hands.
Dong Zhuo's army behind the obstacle saw the soldiers of the Northern Army approaching.
Under the command of the officers, they all raised their bows and arrows.
"Fire the arrow" followed by a village chief yelling.
Dong Zhuojun's crossbowmen fired arrows one after another, "swish, swish, swish" A large number of arrows were shot at the Northern Army soldiers.
Some arrows hit the shields and made a clanking sound.
Unfortunately, some soldiers were shot in vital parts and died.
They fell on the way.
Some were shot in the legs and feet and screamed.
Voice.
Although the soldiers of the Northern Army did not move quickly, they were orderly and in dense formation.
The dense shields blocked most of the arrows.
This resulted in a much lower casualty rate than when they moved forward quickly but in a loose formation.
After suffering a certain amount of casualties, the Northern Army soldiers finally leaned against the obstacle.
They squatted down one by one and used their shields to build a slope.
The first group of men followed closely behind and suddenly sped up and ran forward.
They stepped on their shields and rushed up the obstacle.
When the first one rushed up the obstacle, a sharp arrow shot through his chest.
But the Union soldiers from behind rushed into the morning in a steady stream.
"Come on."
Dong Zhuojun's camp commander waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward with spears.
The two sides immediately fought in front of the obstacle.
Densely packed soldiers crowded the entire intersection.
Everyone was waving their swords and stabbing forward with their spears.
The sound of swords clashing could be heard continuously, and the screams had not stopped since the beginning.
Compared with the soldiers of the Northern Army who had rich combat experience, the Xiyuan Army that had just been recruited by Dong Zhuo was far behind in this regard.

They suffered a big loss from the beginning.
They were not as calm and calm as the soldiers of the Northern Army when fighting.
The soldiers of the Northern Army were fierce and after losing a large number of men one after another, Zhang Ji, who was commanding from the front, had to send more troops.
He used the numerical advantage to barely maintain the position without losing it or being beaten back too much.
Liu Cheng was riding on horseback.
The light was not very good at night.
He could not see clearly what the battle situation was in front of him.
He could only send people to investigate.
People from Zhongji and Wufu kept coming to report the situation. .
Judging from the situation of the three-pronged attack, the situation is not optimistic and there is not much progress.
You must know that there is a large urban area from the big city to the west city wall, with countless houses and many streets and alleys.
If we fight for them one by one, God knows.
When will the fight last?
Liu Cheng looked at the houses on the left and right sides of the street and the moving figures of the fighting soldiers in front.
He thought for a while and told one of the soldiers: "Go tell Xu Rong that if you can't break through from the front, then Find a roundabout way, you can send archers to climb on the roof to shoot at the enemy, suppress them from a high place, and then organize troops to attack from the ground; you can also break the wall from the house and suddenly appear next to the enemy, the enemy will definitely be in chaos "
"Follow your orders" Xu Rong couldn't help but feel moved after listening to the oral description of the soldiers sent by Liu Cheng.
Thinking that these were indeed two good methods, he immediately sent some archers to climb up the roof to suppress Dong Zhuo's army blocking the front.
After shooting down many of Dong Zhuo's troops in the rear, Dong Zhuo's troops in the front had no support and finally couldn't hold on any longer, so they were killed and retreated to escape.
Xu Rong immediately organized his troops to attack fiercely, and captured two blocks in one go.
"General, I can't stand it anymore.
I can't stand it anymore.
The Northern Army is too tight and our army can't resist it anymore."
A panting commander of the Xiyuan Army reported to Zhang Ji.
"I can't resist it anymore.
Why can't I resist it?
You have more people than them.
I have sent more troops to you.
Why are you being beaten back again and again?
You say" Zhang Ji grabbed the lapel of the colonel commander. said angrily.
The commander struggled to explain: "General, they sent archers to climb up the roof, suddenly appeared and fired arrows at us.
The brothers were unprepared, and a large number of them were wounded and killed.
A large number of soldiers from the Northern Army rushed out.
We have been overwhelmed.
The brothers have lost their courage and cannot stand it any longer."
"You trash, what's the use of keeping you?"
Zhang Ji cursed, slashed the camp commander to death, then pointed at another camp commander next to him and shouted: "Now I will appoint you as the military commander, you come to rectify these things."
People, let them restore their morale as soon as possible.
Later, the general will ask you to take over.
If the fight is good, the general will continue to promote you and make you rich.
If the fight is not good, he will be your fate.
Do you understand?"
"Yes, General.
I will definitely lead my brothers to regain the lost ground."
Zhang Ji waved his hand and asked him to gather the defeated soldiers, and immediately ordered a Xiliang Army commander beside him: "Go and send some of our archers to climb up to the roof and wait.
Once the enemy archers appear, shoot them." .

Next, we will use our Xiliang Army to block the enemy infantry.
This group of Xiyuan Army was frightened just now and has not recovered yet.
We need our own people to stabilize the position."
"Yes, General" Xu Rong quickly broke the deadlock after adopting Liu Cheng's method.
This news made Liu Cheng feel happy.
He immediately sent people to tell Zhong Ji and Wu Fu and asked them to follow the same method.
Wu Fu and Zhong Ji also This method was adopted one after another, and great results were achieved.
The army advanced much faster.
High-altitude suppression and ground assault are the tactics currently used by the Northern Army.
At first, Dong Zhuo's army was almost beaten to the point of being unable to stand.
After losing several blocks in succession, the various commanders thought of using the same tactics. withstand.
As a result, the numerically superior Xiyuan Army began to slowly stabilize its position, and the pace of retreat also slowed down.
Finally, it was able to compete with the Northern Army, and the battle situation once again reached a stalemate.
"How dare these thieves learn so quickly?"
Xu Rong was furious.
He calmed down and thought about it, and immediately ordered some soldiers to break through the walls of people's houses and rush into Dong Zhuo's army.
When a wooden wall was broken open and some Northern Army soldiers suddenly came out from the side, Dong Zhuo's army was caught off guard and had no resistance at all.
It collapsed on the spot.
The Northern Army soldiers who were attacking from the front saw that Dong Zhuo's army was in chaos and quickly launched a fierce attack. , Dong Zhuojun was killed and his helmet and armor were thrown away, and corpses were scattered all over the ground
