Chapter 449: The Blue Wolf Army goes straight to Longxi

Dong Zhuo, who was about to cry without tears, looked around in a hurry under the protection of hundreds of guards, and no longer knew what to do.

It was in chaos, completely in chaos. Last moment, I saw the tens of thousands of troops who had the hope of breaking through Guzang City. At this time, it was like a group of sheep that had encountered a pack of wolves, and all that was left was a miserable wailing sound.

It scattered, completely scattered. The soldiers under the city could not find the generals, and they could not find the soldiers. They threw down the siege equipment and large weapons in their hands, only scattering around like headless flies and scattered and fleeing.

When Hu Cheer commanded 10,000 Dingyuan cavalry to surround Guzang City, erecting the flags of the "Great Jin Guzhang" facing the dazzling sunshine and "Huang Xuanhu of Dingyuan Army", on the battlefield, all the old soldiers of Dong Zhuo who had gone north to participate in the "anti-Zhao" battle had completely lost the courage and determination to resist. Facing Ma Teng's cavalry, they still had the courage to fight to the death, but when facing the Jin cavalry that defeated Dong Zhuo's army several times, all these veterans were left with endless fear and despair.

The 10,000 cavalry of Dingyuan Army only blocked Dong Zhuo's retreat from a distance, shooting all the people who dared to approach to death two hundred steps away, and did not launch a crazy attack like Ma Chao. They stopped their horses and quietly surrounded Dong Zhuo, looking at the soldiers who had gradually stopped fighting, looking at Ma Chao who had rushed under the city gate, looking at Guo Jia who waved to them on the top of the city, watching silently, even the war horse under their crotch kept breathing low...

The battlefield where the battle was noisy just now fell into terrible silence after Ma Chao finally stopped rushing. Ma Chao ordered the more than a thousand cavalry who survived turned their horses, leaned on the wall of Guzang, and swayed the sweat on their foreheads. Finally calmed down their ups and downs and waited quietly for Hu Cheer to give the next order.

"All the Dong army under the city obeyed the orders, put down their weapons, and waited for surrender. The Dingyuan army would not kill the prisoners!" Hu Che'er's voice was strong and loud, and spread throughout the battlefield.

"Put down your weapons! Wait for surrender!! Don't kill prisoners!!!" Neat shouts sounded from the city at the same time.

A great battle finally ended with such an incredible ending. Dong Zhuo's army brought north to Wuwei, 15,000 people died in the siege battle, 7,000 people died under the horse hooves of Ma Chao and Hu Cheer, 5,000 people stationed in Luanniao, Cangsong, and 5,000 people were taken away by Zhang Xiu, and the remaining 18,000 people were either beheaded or captured, and no one escaped.

Ma Teng, who was guarding the city, if Ma Chao had lost nearly 2,000 elite cavalry just now, had lost nearly 10,000 people in total. The Qiang Hunting School Mansion, which originally had only 20,000 people, was left.

Dong Zhuo, who had already collapsed on the ground like mud, finally had no courage to commit suicide. He was taken to Guzang City with a gray face. As for Li Ru, Hu Zhen, Duan Wei, Li Meng and others who were lucky enough to die under Ma Chao's gun, they naturally could not escape the fate of being identified by their subordinates one by one and then being held captive.

Zhang Xiu took five thousand old Dong Zhuo's subordinates and recruited the 5,000 cavalry stationed in the cities of Yuci, Luanniao, Cangsong and other cities to his command, and then told the soldiers that Dong Zhuo was finished and everyone would choose what to do. At first, many middle and lower-level generals were unwilling to believe this amazing fact, but not long after, the soldiers who came from Guzang City to report the news confirmed Zhang Xiu's statement.

These soldiers who reported the news were two thousand Dingyuan Army, and as witnesses were the pale-faced son-in-law Li Ru and the right general Duan Wei. The two thousand Dingyuan Army were very arrogant and stationed not far away. If ten thousand Dong Zhuo subordinates launched a charge, they could quickly surround the other party. However, no one dared to do this, and few people even tried this idea.

Li Ru told the ten thousand soldiers: "General Zhenxi's final order, and in the future, you will obey the order of the vanguard General Zhang Xiu, and the general's mansion in Zhenxi will no longer exist." After Li Ru finished speaking, he was guarded by two thousand Dingyuan soldiers and returned to Guzang, leaving only 10,000 Dong Zhuo's old subordinates confused on the spot.

Soon, Zhang Xiu stood up and said to the confused soldiers: "In the future, those who are willing to follow us will stay. Those who are unwilling to continue joining the army can leave on their own!"

In the end, 7,000 people chose to stay, and 3,000 people chose to leave. The main choice was the Qiang people who followed Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo fell, they lost their goal of loyalty, so they chose to return to their hometown or become bandits, and get on horseback and become bandits...

Zhang Xiu took 7,000 people straight to Dong Zhuo's old nest, Didao, Longxi County, and he had more important tasks and missions to complete.

Now the ones who stayed in Longxi Didao are Dong Zhuo's eldest son-in-law Niu Fu, as well as Dong Huang, Dong Yue and his uncle Zhang Ji. Ten thousand old subordinates in Didao City were not aware that Dong Zhuo had been defeated and captured. Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji happened to be responsible for garrisoning the northern gate of Didao. As long as Niu Fu, Dong Huang, Dong Yue and others were controlled, and the Canglang army led by Taishi Ci was welcomed into Didao City, the overall situation in Xiliang would be completely settled.

While Zhang Xiu was stepping up the march, the 15,000 Canglang Army led by Taishi Ci had already gone out of the Diaoyin of Shangjun and walked west along the route of the Flying Tiger Army's raid for thousands of miles. Their first goal was to capture Yuzhong City in Jincheng County.

This is a very familiar marching route for the cavalry of Jin. It was explored by the Flying Tiger Army and left detailed marks. Now it is retraceed by the Canglang Army.

Taishici received the order from Zhao Xing to control Longxi, and the other counties along the way were temporarily ignored. As long as Dong Zhuo's nest was successfully removed, he could slowly clean up the other counties and counties in Liangzhou.

When Taishi Ci led his army to the city of Yuzhong, the team led by Zhang Xiu had just arrived at Lingju, which was still 150 miles away from Taishi Ci. There were only hundreds of soldiers in Yuzhong City garrisoning and maintaining public order in the city. When facing the cavalry of 15,000 Canglang Army, they did not resist at all. They honestly opened the door to welcome the army into the city.

This is also the common practice of cities in Liangzhou. In addition to a few important cities, we are used to rebel Qiang people, imperial army, Xiliang cavalry, Ma family cavalry, and even flying tiger army in and out. Xiliang is a sparsely populated place. No matter which force enters the city, it will not kill the people in the city. This is also a customary rule. Just imagine, if a group of people comes and kills people, the cities will eventually become ghost cities. What do you eat, drink, and rob in the future?

After entering Yuzhong City, Taishi Ci waited for Zhang Xiu to arrive leisurely. According to Zhao Xing's "Tianji 2" plan, Zhang Xiu needed to enter the city first, and then the Flying Tiger Army could enter the city without bloodshed. Taishi Ci was obviously anxious and led the army to run a little faster, a few days earlier than the scheduled plan, so he had to wait for Zhang Xiu to go south while resting here.
