Chapter 232: Alarm Bell Reminder
This method is still suspected of dividing troops, but this is also tantamount to giving Shabak a reason to step down, at least for the current situation, Shabak is difficult to have a way to consume it in the short term, once it continues to lose, the shock will be greater, I am afraid that the military will be insufficient, which Shabak is not unaware of.
So Shabak's eyes rolled, and the bloodthirsty look swept around the group of people again, he hadn't spoken yet, waiting for Ergart to make a real decision, Erbat gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "My lord, otherwise, you will take back the iron cavalry in front of you, immediately divide the troops into two ways, and go straight to both sides of the west gate, the soldiers of the Eagle Clan and the Deer Clan on my side rushed up, if you can meet the inside and outside, it is not impossible, what do you think?"
The credit for the division of troops still rests on the head of the leopard clan, and Shabak nodded with some satisfaction.
So Shabak waved his hand, and the command team under his command began to divide the troops, and the iron cavalry retreated like a tide, and then the iron cavalry of the Eagle Clan and the Deer Clan rushed up again, and the formation of the two sides changed, so that the people on the bell tower felt a little puzzled, and the iron cavalry once again carried various weapons and went directly to the city gate!
Liu Hao, who was on the city tower, saw this scene, and felt as if the two sides had carried out a rotation, and the smoke was diverted to both sides, but he didn't have much experience, so he stretched out his hand and motioned for Wang Mingxuan, who was busy below, to go up to the city tower to watch, Wang Mingxuan couldn't help but gasp when he ran up!
"General, it's bad, they've divided their forces!"
Liu Hao didn't feel terrible about the division of troops, but what were their intentions? Why did the troops that attacked first withdraw and divide their troops into two ways, and directly alternate from the reinforcement team, Wang Mingxuan twisted his beard and thought, "Probably because the front attack was not effective, and he was worried about serious damage, so he exchanged with the troops behind, and then carried out the two wings, I am afraid that there is still a suspicion of attacking the West Gate!"
Striking Simon, this thing is really interesting!
Liu Hao smiled coldly, "Okay, this stupid Shabak has decided that Ximen must enter tonight, right? If that's the case, then his attack will probably continue into the night, it seems that we don't need to urge him to sleep tonight!"
Wang Mingxuan twisted his beard and said, "I'm afraid this Shabak can't take care of the fatigue of his subordinates, and he is bound to take the corner of the West Gate, even if it is tonight or tomorrow morning, he will definitely prepare to break through the West Gate and enter Chang'an City!"
"Their choice is not wrong, the west gate is an oblique diagonal, and the distance directly from the royal city is not far, but it depends on how they clamp it from the two wings!"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Mingxuan looked at Liu Hao and said, "According to the previous map, one of the two wings of the West Gate that is not easy to attack should be the strong Xuanmen!"
"And on the other side, it should be Xizhi Gate, Xuanmen should not be a big problem, and it is still the base camp of the team, but this Xizhi Gate is probably very dangerous, General!"
Liu Hao nodded and said, "I haven't been to Xizhimen, but I heard that the gate there is also building the city wall, the good news is that the city wall has been built, and the signal given by the beacon tower is that the enemy situation has not yet been discovered, and the increased troops have been in place, but I don't know if I can resist this kind of strong attack!!"
Wang Mingxuan pondered for a moment and waved his hand, "General, you need to quickly lead your troops and horses to Xizhimen to resist there, and see what strategy they adopt, could it be that the two sides are just feints, and they plan to take the attack of Ximen by internal and external attacks?!"
Liu Hao sighed and said, "Are they overestimating themselves or underestimating us? Besides, there are defenses there, and they know that the enemy is coming, so don't they care?"
Wang Mingxuan shook his head and said, "The general doesn't know anything, there are people supervising the war and no one supervising the war, I'm afraid the situation is different! Now this defensive force, the veteran I don't dare to make any guarantees!"
Liu Hao nodded, he knew that although the entire Chang'an City was now aware of the attack, he had no experience in actual combat for a long time, coupled with the lack of veterans, there were too few soldiers who could have so-called experienced defense at all gates at the moment!
In this case, if there is no real supervision, I am afraid that there will be a lot of problems, at present, half of the 30,000 iron cavalry are still concentrated in attacking the west gate, and the two wings have begun to attack the flanks with thick smoke, it may be a feint, or it may be a veritable attack, in essence, if there is a gate from the two wings that can be breached, then there will inevitably be problems!
Xuanmen Liu Hao has been there has been completely closed by the army, it is estimated that the short-term iron cavalry will not take any advantage, but Xizhimen is afraid that it will be very dangerous, Liu Hao is ready to decide to personally lead the brigade to go, but Wang Mingxuan clenched his fists, "General, I think you have a more important thing now than going to Xizhimen to increase the number of troops, I don't know if you agree or not?"
Liu Hao nodded, he and the city lord walked under the city tower, looked at the inside and outside of the city where the shouting and killing sound shook the sky, turned his head to look at Wang Mingxuan and said, "Are you asking me to go to the official department in person?"
Wang Mingxuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you shouldn't be in such a hurry to go to the Ministry of Officials, I believe that little official should be able to do his job, after all, it has the role of a military talisman! But even if there is a military talisman, with the information of the Ministry of Officials, you have to send a large number of people to find these veterans and veterans, I'm afraid it will be a very difficult job!"
"If you want to be able to assemble at the fastest speed, I am afraid that you need to ring the alarm bell of the entire Chang'an City, and I dare to suggest that the general go to the foot of the royal city to ring the bronze phoenix bell of the royal city! Once the bell rings, it will inevitably alarm the whole city, and it would be better if it was assembled under the bronze phoenix bell!"
The location of the bronze phoenix bell in the royal city is the place where the emperor will divide the generals, and this place will extend to the depth of the entire country, once it rings, it means that the entire Chang'an City has been prompted by the highest level of alarm bells!
But there is also a problem here, that is, once the bronze phoenix bell is ringed, although a large number of soldiers and generals can be gathered, it will also cause chaos in the entire Chang'an City, especially the chaos in the royal city!
In that case, there would be a huge panic in the entire royal city, so Wang Mingxuan also had some hesitation when he came up with this idea, but Wang Mingxuan knew that now that the emperor was by Liu Hao's side, whether this idea was good or bad, and no one had considered more costs now.
If the Xizhi Gate is breached, the distance between the West Gate and the Xizhi Gate will form a huge volume buffer zone, even if the iron cavalry no longer extends to attack the royal city, or directly enters Chang'an City to burn and plunder, it is likely to cause huge problems in the entire northwest corner.
