"With a thunderbolt!"

The men came to the city gate with a thunderbolt in their hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Didn't you run out?"

"Maybe it's the confusion that didn't notice ......"

At this time, Pei Yun still had the heart to investigate why the thunderbolt was not used up, so he snatched it away, stuck it between the copper lock and the city gate, and covered it with a burlap bag, wrapped it tightly, and left the fuse outside.

"Torch!"

The people handed over the torches, the fuse was lit instantly, white smoke rose, sparks sizzled, and everyone fell backwards. There was a loud bang, and the thick smoke filled the city gate in an instant. Pei Yun, who was lying on the ground, only felt a hot pain in his back, and he didn't care about the pain, got up from the ground and ran through the smoke to the city gate, only to see that there was a big hole between the two city gates, and the thigh-thick bolt had been broken into two. The city gate, which had lost its restraints, trembled and trembled, and he didn't have time to think about it, and he pulled the knocker with all his strength to the inside.

The thick and heavy city gate slowly opened, and the cavalry iron stream poured in, hitting the Yan army that was crowded on the inside of the city gate, like a sharp sword cutting through the fat meat.

Because the Yan army crowded at the door mistakenly thought that the thunderbolt cannon was the thunderbolt mother, they were frightened and demoralized, and they were forced to attack by the overseers, and they had no resistance in the face of the impact of the ironclad heavy cavalry.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Jing also rode into the city, at this time Pei Yu was standing outside the city gate in order to make way for the heavy cavalry, and the tense nerves before seeing the clan brother coming over finally relaxed.

"Shiro, where is the injury? Why is there blood all over your body?"

Pei Jing asked with concern when he saw the blood stains on his brother's body, and Pei Yu reacted that his back must have been injured by the fragments after the explosion of the thunderbolt. In an instant, he only felt that all the bones in his back had been broken, and he couldn't even straighten his waist.

……

In the city, the commander of the Wuwei army, Tian Chenghe, a general of the armed forces, couldn't sleep all night, and the attack of the Shenwu army on the grain road in Henan seemed to be a disease of scabies, but in fact, if it was not handled properly, it was likely to become a problem in the heart, which was why he sent his right-hand man Li Baochen to lead 20,000 elites to Shaanzhou to meet the grain transport team.

In the final analysis, it was because the Tang army burned down the Taiyuan warehouse in Shaanzhou last year, and this year before the fall of Tongguan, it emptied the Yongfeng warehouse by the Weishui River. The few warehouses closest to Chang'an had no grain, and the Yan army could only transfer grain from Yongjiacang in Luoyang for thousands of miles.

The long grain road stretching for thousands of miles not only adds countless variables, but also consumes a lot of money along the way, and the price paid in order to transport grain from Luoyang to Chang'an is staggering.

"Big handsome, big handsome, it's a big deal, Tang Jun broke into the city, already, has been killed outside the Shuai's mansion!"

Tian Chengsi was shocked, and then furious, he thought he had heard it wrong, and angrily reprimanded the panicked relatives:

"Don't be a fool, Tongguan Guancheng is solid, how can it be ordinary and breakable?"

He knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice:

"It's true, the Tang army broke the city gate and rushed in while the chaos was there, the heavy cavalry of the Tang army was so powerful that no one could stop it!"

Tongguan Guancheng was built for the garrison, so the avenue leading to the east and west can be ten carriages in parallel, wide and straight, Tian Chenghe's marshal mansion is on the side of the avenue, and the heavy cavalry can reach this place by pushing it along the avenue.

"Breaking the city?"

Only then did he suddenly remember the faint thunder just now, could it be that Tang Jun was playing tricks in order to break the door?

"Gather the people and drive the ** out!"

After the shock, Tian Chengsi immediately regained his composure, Tongguan Guancheng was his territory after all, and there were his men and horses everywhere, and he knew the troop allocation everywhere with his eyes closed, and he was confident that it would not be a problem to drive out this Tang army that was stealing the city.

It's just that when he saw the Tang army rushing into the city with his own eyes, he changed his mind in an instant.

"Take back the West City Gate, close the door and beat the dogs!"

For this reason, Tian Chengsi specially mobilized heavy troops to besiege the West Gate, and on the other hand, he used heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Tang army that entered the city.

Soon, the Tang army's entry into the city was frustrated, and most of the men and horses were blocked outside.

"Report, the north gate is lost!"

Tian Chengsi's body trembled suddenly, he couldn't imagine that he was designing Tang Jun, and Tang Jun was actually calculating himself.

The plan fell short, Tian Chengsi immediately changed his mind, from closing the door to fighting dogs, to recapturing all the city gates, and only a small number of people were clamped into the city, and most of the rest made every effort to recapture the north gate and west gate that lost control.

Tian Chenghe's teeth were clenched, if it weren't for Li Baochen taking away 20,000 elites, he wouldn't be overstretched at this time.

In any case, the first thing to do is to take back control of the city gate, so that the Tang army that entered the city in advance will become a turtle in an urn, and can close the door and beat the dog.

However, it backfired, and the bad news came again.

"Reported! The South Gate Has Fallen!"

Until this moment, Tian Chengsi suddenly realized that the target of the Tang army, which had already entered the city, was not his marshal's mansion at all, but the four gates of the city.

Thinking of this, Tian Chengsi was angry and anxious, and stomped his feet again and again. He felt remorse for his trust and contempt for his enemies, but what was the use of remorse at this moment.

It is possible to divide the troops to capture the two city gates, but if the third division is divided to capture the south gate, it will be absolutely difficult to take care of them at the same time with the existing forces.

Thinking left and right, he found himself in a dilemma.

"Dashuai, Dashuai, how should I deal with it?"

In the face of the urging of the subordinates, Tian Chengsi suddenly felt powerless, and suddenly he lost control of the three city gates, all of which was like a dream, but no matter how unbelievable it was, this was a real existence.

"Fight to the death! Concentrate all your efforts to recapture all the gates one by one!"

Tian Chengji found that it was really an unwise choice for him to divide his troops with limited troops, and that he should concentrate all his forces to capture the city gate with an advantage.

However, he soon learned the taste of thunderbolts.

"Thunder Male Lightning Mother, Thunder Male Electric Mother!"

The explosion and the huge lethality have been fully exerted in the dense Yan army, and with each explosion is a flesh erosion, people have an instinctive fear of the unknown.

Although Tian Chengsi didn't believe in such a strange thing as Lei Gongdian's mother, it was real that the flesh and blood flew after the explosion.

Tang Jun had this kind of sharp weapon as a defensive purpose, and while sighing, he was a little desperate to find that he had concentrated his superior forces, and it was difficult to recapture even a hole in the city gate. Moreover, at this moment, after experiencing the blow of losing the city gate and Lei Gongdianmu, the morale of the Yan army was low, and the combat effectiveness was not even half of the usual time, and there was no certainty of victory under the hard fight.

Is it really going to be broken here?

Tian Chenghe's chest was a voice asking himself.

No, of course not!

Joining the army is only to make a fortune in the army of ten thousand horses, but it is absolutely impossible for him to die and die for the country.

"Gather the men and horses, and withdraw!"

At this time, there were still more than 10,000 people in Tongguan, except for those scattered all over the city, and the dead and wounded who were difficult to move, only five or six thousand people could be collected and taken away.

……

** The heavy cavalry swept across the avenue that ran through the east and west, and after clearing all the targets that dared to resist, it stopped outside the Shuaifu.

This heavy cavalry was carefully built by Pei Jing, and in order to withstand hundreds of pounds of iron armor and more than 100 pounds of knights, the war horses were all one in a hundred. Therefore, the number of people was not large, and there were only 300 people who could do their best. But three hundred men were enough, and anyone who dared to stand in the way of the heavy cavalry would be mercilessly crushed into meat sauce.

"General, now only the East Gate is left, why don't you take the East Gate down in one go?"

Pei Jing forgot to glance at the east, where in addition to the east gate of the city, there was also the wall of Tongguan.

"If the rebels are completely trapped in the city, they will inevitably fight the trapped beasts, and now they can be driven out by keeping the east gate. ”

In doing so, it can not only take Tongguan, but also reduce unnecessary casualties.

"The defenders have concentrated five or six thousand men and are storming the West Gate!"

Pei Jing said categorically:

"Let's go, go and disperse them!"

The heavy cavalry rested for a while, and after accumulating their strength, they started again.

The rebels gathered at the west gate suddenly saw the heavy cavalry rumbling and immediately split into two routes, fleeing to the north and south.

Pei Jing ordered the pursuit to be stopped.

"Keep a close watch, let them go, it's best to escape before dawn, let's just wait for the sun to rise before cleaning the battlefield!"

Sure enough, Pei Jing's prediction was right, the Yan army in the city found that the east gate was still under control, so they fled out of the city through here one after another, until the sun rose in the east, the fish belly turned white, and even the people guarding the gate escaped completely.

After daylight, Pei Jing sent a number of small groups of cavalry out of Tong Guandong to clear the remnants of the Yan army scattered within a radius of thirty miles outside the pass.

After capturing Tongguan in World War I, Pei Jing not only did not feel the slightest joy, but the pressure was even greater. The capture of Tongguan is just the beginning, and the next counterattack is the biggest test for him.

At this time, the east of Tongguan was under the control of the rebels, and the west of Tongguan was also under the control of the rebels.

The heavy snow stopped, the sky was blue, the sun was shining on the snow, and the shining people couldn't open their eyes, Pei Jing climbed the city wall that had just been cleared, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, but he looked worried in his eyes to the snow field in the west.

After a long time, he muttered:

"Tongguan has arrived, and the rest depends on whether all parties can follow the plan!"

"Is it too risky for my brother to do this, and if one of the people involved in the plan makes a mistake, won't we give our lives for nothing?"

At some point, Pei Yoo appeared behind him.

Pei Jing answered the question.

"How's your injury?

Pei Yu said:

"It's all flesh wounds, you can't die! I only persuade my brother, now that the rebels haven't had time to react, it's still too late to change their minds, and once the army is in the city, it's too late to regret it!"
