Chapter 324 Sneaking into Chang'an
Chang'an City is more than 9,000 meters long from east to west and more than 8,000 meters long from north to south. The city is huge.
Li Zhen divided the army into five parts. The first part guarded one side of the city wall, and the last part was kept as a reserve to provide immediate support wherever there was danger.
Li Zhen used the Musketeers, Yulin Guards, and 20,000 newly summoned troops as a reserve force, ready to support and counterattack at any time.
When Xue Wanche outside the city saw that the fire-horse battle was effective, he immediately gritted his teeth and released 10,000 fire horses, destroying all the mine formations around Chang'an City. Then, Xue Wanche ordered an army of 50,000 to launch a fierce attack on Chang'an.
Xue Wanche was very sophisticated in his tactics. He first attacked the east gate from the west and stormed the west gate of Chang'an to attract the attention of the defenders, but his main force launched a surprise attack at the east gate.
However, Li Zhen was well prepared. Not only were troops guarding each city gate, but the reserve team arrived in time, and thus repelled Xue Wanche's first attack.
Subsequently, Xue Wanche came up with a strategy of attacking the city from all sides, but concentrating his forces to attack one area. However, Li Zhen was prepared, and the reserve team in the city arrived in time, and Xue Wanche's second attack was defused again.
When the plan failed, Xue Wanche made another plan. Chang'an City was surrounded by eight rivers and there were many underground drainage channels. If these underground drainage channels were used to allow some troops to enter Chang'an City, create chaos and open the city gates, Chang'an City might be able to be broken. .
At the moment, Xue Wanche selected five hundred relatively thin and capable people, each carrying a short blade, and entered the drainage channel of Chang'an.
Xue Wanche's move was extremely cruel, but Li Zhen had already prepared a response and ordered people to set up water fences in the middle of the drainage channels in Chang'an to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
"But after a lot of effort, these rebels found an abandoned drainage channel and infiltrated into Chang'an City.
At the same time, Xue Wanche's army once again set up temporary wooden ladders and launched a fierce attack on Chang'an City, focusing on the West City.
The battle lasted for a whole day and night, and the fighting finally subsided. The rebels launched several attacks on Chang'an City but were repelled. The rebels suffered heavy casualties, and the defenders of Chang'an City also suffered heavy losses.
At the head of Xicheng City, the big old cow was leaning on the crenel, panting constantly, and asked Zhao Xiaowu beside him: "Is there any more wine?"
Zhao Xiaowu was also covered in blood. In the battle just now, Zhao Xiaowu fought bravely and killed at least five or six rebels.
Seeing Da Lao Niu asking for a drink, Zhao Xiaowu handed over the sheepskin bag containing the wine.
"Give."
Da Lao Niu took the sheepskin bag with trembling hands. Only then did Zhao Xiaowu realize that Da Lao Niu only had three fingers left on his left hand.
Da Lao Niu took the wine bag and took a sip. He opened his mouth and exhaled, saying: "Good wine!"
Zhao Xiaowu said: "Big Lao Niu, is this the first time we have repelled the rebel attack?"
Da Lao Niu thought for a while and said: "The seventh time."
"Damn, these rebels are really desperate for their lives. They attacked seven times in one afternoon. Look, there are thousands of rebels who died under the city. They are really fierce." Zhao Xiaowu said.
"Hey, these rebels are afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will settle accounts in the future, so they attack Chang'an with a death wish. Naturally, they attack with all their lives. Xiao Wu, how many have you killed?"
Zhao Xiaowu said proudly: "A total of six people have been hacked to death. Three more people have been hacked to death. If I hack a few more people to death, I will be able to do a lot. Big old cow, how many have you killed?"
"Hehe, no more, no less, just one more than you." The big old cow grinned, showing a mouth of white teeth, which was in sharp contrast with the blood on his face.
¡°Mom, let¡¯s compete again!¡± Zhao Xiaowu laughed and scolded.
¡°There¡¯s no need to compete, you win.¡± Da Lao Niu gasped.
It was then that Zhao Xiaowu saw that Da Lao Niu not only lost two fingers, but also had blood oozing out from his lower abdomen.
"Big old cowyou"
"I can't live, my intestines are out" Big Old Niu took another sip of wine and said, "It really hurts!"
"Xiaowu, this is my salary for the past few months. When this battle is over, you can send me back to my hometown, Longmen"
With a smile on his face, the old veteran handed two strings of copper coins into Zhao Xiaowu's hands.
"Big Old Niu, you can't die, you will definitely survive!" Zhao Xiaowu roared.
"I can't live help me kill more rebels ahem"
"Xiaowu, I'm cold"
"Big old cow!"
Zhao Xiaowu?The big old cow was hugged in his arms.
The body of Big Old Niu began to shake. After a while, his body stopped moving and his head tilted to the side.
"Da Lao Niu, don't worry, as long as I, Zhao Xiaowu, don't die, I will definitely send the money to your family"
¡°The rebels are attacking the city again, prepare to fight!¡± an officer shouted from the city wall.
Zhao Xiaowu wiped away his tears, picked up the big knife, and said: "Big old cow, have a good rest, I will avenge you!"
"kill!"
Zhao Xiaowu swung his sword, rushed to the crenellation, and slashed at a rebel soldier who had climbed up the city wall
In Chang'an City, the fighting was extremely fierce. Throughout the day and night, the rebels launched wave after wave of attacks on the city.
Li Zhen was standing on the top of the city. He knew that as long as he was there, these soldiers would have the confidence to fight to the death with the enemy. If he was not there, with the elite rebels, the west gate would surely be lost.
Today is a day of great joy for Li Zhen, but Li Zhen is fighting on top of the city.
It¡¯s not that Li Zhen doesn¡¯t want to marry Wang Miaoyu, but that the battle has reached this level and he really can¡¯t leave!
At the same time, in Chang'an City, five hundred rebels came out of the sewer entrance and mixed into Chang'an City. The leader led others to seize the city gate.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by?The Government and Army are extremely tight on defense inside and outside the city gate, and these rebels have no chance to get close.
The leader of the rebel general, Yao Siliu, had red eyes and said: "Brothers, we have no retreat. If we capture Chang'an City, we will be rich for the rest of our lives! Kill us!"
With Yao Siliu¡¯s roar, five hundred rebels marched towards the south gate to kill.
It was the veteran Cheng Yaojin who defended the south gate.
Cheng Yaojin was experienced in battles for a long time and responded quickly. When he saw that rebels had sneaked into the city to seize the city gate, he immediately mobilized a thousand archers and blocked the city gate with bows and arrows.
In just a moment, more than a hundred rebels were shot and killed.
At that moment, Cheng Yaojin personally led a thousand warriors to kill most of the rebels. Only Yao Siliu and a dozen people risked their lives to break out of the siege and entered Chang'an City.
"General, what should we do?" The rebel soldiers looked at Yao Siliu one after another.
Yao Si61 gritted his teeth and said: "Since we can't take down the gate city, we will cause trouble in Chang'an City and support General Xue."
A junior high school officer said: "General, I heard that today is the day of great joy for Prince Li Zhen. Now Li Zhen is commanding the defense of the city. The daughter of the Wang family he wants to marry must be waiting at home. We will kill the Wang family and rob Wang." If your daughter threatens Li Zhen, she might be able to open the city gate!"
Yao Siliu¡¯s eyes lit up, and he thought that this was a good idea. I heard that the daughter of the Wang family that Li was going to marry was the fianc¨¦e of Jin Wang Li Zhi. By taking her away, not only could he blackmail Li Zhen, but he could also curry favor with Jin Wang, killing two birds with one stone.
Yao Siliu said: "That's it, let's catch Wang's daughter. If we succeed, not only will we survive, but we will also make a great contribution!"
At that moment, Yao Siliu caught a passerby and forced him to lead the way to the palace. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
