Chapter 840: Attack the Imperial City at Night
Shang Chengze was chased back, and Qin Jin told him bluntly the news he got from Da Xixun, and Shang Chengze couldn't help but shudder after hearing it. But the reason why he trembled was not that An Qingxu wanted to burn hundreds of thousands of people in the city, but that Qin Jin was so solemn that he must have a fatal errand for him to do.
Moreover, even if it was a fatal errand, he had no reason to refuse, even if it was to send him to death.
"The doctor has a life, and the last general will fight to the death!"
Shang Chengze has always been a cowardly person, and his statement surprised Yan Zhuang. Qin Jin's understanding of this person may not be comprehensive because of the short days, but Yan Zhuang can even see his bones thoroughly.
"General Shang, there is no joke in the army, don't say anything in front of the doctor!"
"Please rest assured, the last general has been timid all his life, and now in the face of major rights and wrongs, he still has a clear distinction between the importance and the seriousness, and when he sees that he has made a promise, there will be no room for repentance!"
Such an answer made Yan Zhuang's heart awe-struck, even a timid person like Shang Chengze was willing to risk his life to serve the Shenwu Army, it seems that the Tang Dynasty really has a lot of energy, but the Great Yan is afraid that it will be exhausted! This thought surged out in his heart, and an indescribable feeling spread, and I don't know whether it was sadness or joy.
Qin Jin saw the change in the expressions of the two, so he smiled and high-fived:
"General Shang has great righteousness, no matter whether he succeeds or fails this time, Qin will ask the Son of Heaven for credit!"
This sentence just gave Shang Chengze a reassurance, regardless of whether he was merit or not, what he was most concerned about was his wife and children, and now with Qin Jin's promise, even if he died on the battlefield this time, the Tang Dynasty would definitely sympathize with them.
"I am willing to die for the doctor!"
The previous words were half-true and half-true, but this time it was sincere. Qin Jin has never been stingy with rewards, as long as it can be beneficial to the situation, even if he promises a reward of gold and silver.
"Ji Wu had a bad idea, he could have dragged him to make plans again, but now the plan has been disrupted, he has to kill this person before An Qingxu burns the city, General Shang is here, this person may not be able to fortify, just find an opportunity to kill this person, and it will be a big deal!"
As soon as Ji Wu died, the Shenwu army attacked the city at night, and the dragons in its headquarters were leaderless, so it was naturally difficult to resist. The difficulty in this matter is only whether Shang Chengze can suddenly use the killer and successfully kill Ji Wu.
Shang Chengze had long expected the danger of this trip, and at this time the expectation was confirmed, and his heart was still up and down, although his face was pale with fear because of this, he still gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, doctor, the end will be desperate!"
Shang Chengze looked like he was about to take justice, but Qin Jin comforted him and said:
"This time there may not be no return, Qing Xuzi will order a stake more than one person high under the city in advance, which will be used to stretch the net, and the camera can jump down after the move. Rest assured, this kind of net has been tested by their firearms battalion a long time ago, and they jumped down from a height of five or six feet, and they were unscathed!"
These words came from the mouth of Qin Jin, Shang Chengze still believed it very much, and immediately replied:
"Doctor, don't worry, the last general will fight to the death, and he will also kill Ji Wu, the thief!"
The plan to seize Hanjiacang City was completely at the mercy of heaven, Qin Jin could not pin all his hopes on one battle, and at the same time, opening a breakthrough from Xuanhui Gate was also in full swing.
Yan Zhuang volunteered, saying that he knew everything about the siege of Luoyang, and he could let him lead the way, and maybe there would be a miracle.
However, Qin Jin did not have hope for this, the palace city had long been destroyed in the fire, and the fire in some of the temples had not been extinguished until now, and the people who had not escaped had already died in the fire.
The crux of the matter lies only in the walls of Miyagi leading to the Imperial City. The rebels in charge of guarding the Imperial City followed the law of security and loyalty, and killed several gates leading to the Imperial City with bricks and stones, and smeared them with lime clay, which was really a headache.
There was originally a partition between the outer outline where the Xuanhui Gate is located and the palace city, but the partition city separated the connection between the palace city and the imperial city, perhaps this is one of the purposes of the original construction of the partition city. Otherwise, enter the city from the Xuanhui Gate, and the imperial city will be close at hand.
"From the direction of Miyagi, you can attack in the direction of Changle Gate and Yingtianmen, and at this time there will be chaos in the city, maybe there will be a miraculous effect of destroying the withering and decaying!"
Originally, Qin Jin's plan was to rest overnight and relaunch the offensive at dawn the next day, but the situation was urgent, and in order to make a breakthrough as soon as possible, he had to risk increasing casualties.
The main attack in the direction of Miyagi is Xue Huan's department, the terrain of Hedong is mountainous, and the Shenwu army from Hedong is good at fighting in complex terrain, because it is difficult to transport large equipment into Xuanhui Gate, so the risk they take is also the greatest.
At this temporary military meeting, Qin Jin invited several of the generals involved to the Chinese military tent.
"It started in a hurry and the preparation was not sufficient, I hope you will overcome the difficulties and fight hard!"
According to the habits of the Shenwu Army, it was originally not to fight unprepared battles, but at this time, it was imminent, and if you were not prepared, you had to bite the bullet.
In addition, from the Xuanhui Gate to the south is the right door, the south of the right gate is adjacent to the canal to guard the waterway exit between Luoyang City and the outside world, it is extremely important, if you can take this gate, Luoyang City will be a foregone conclusion. It is precisely because of this that the rebels arranged a large number of men and horses at the right gate, and the rebels as early as the beginning of the war in order to prevent accidents, built a partition wall on the city wall between the gates, at this time there is a wall on the city wall between the Xuanhui Gate and the right gate, if you want to launch a strong attack from the city wall, you must cross this partition wall.
"In the past few days, there have been frequent battles, and the sergeants, whether morning or evening, have half of the military food, and they can cope with the big war at any time. Estimating the time, now the battalions have already eaten one after another, and the overnight raid is not completely uncertain!"
Yang Xingben suddenly explained a few words about the current basic situation of the Shenwu Army, and Qin Jin nodded.
"If you really can't do it, let the reserve soldiers and horses go up, they have been recuperating for many days, and they have long been screaming, and now they are lined up, maybe it can have a miraculous effect!"
Qin Jin immediately made a decision, sent out Sancheng's reserve soldiers and horses, and attacked the right gate from the front. It is thought that there is a spacious river beach outside the right gate, which can be placed with large siege equipment, and the soldiers will be guaranteed to the greatest extent in the siege process, and the difficulty of the siege is much lower than the first two places.
"Caught between two sides, I don't believe I can't take the right door!"
About half an hour later, fireworks rose in the direction of Deyoumen.
It was the location of Hanjiacang City, Qin Jin and the others stood on the watchtower and looked into the distance, only to see that the fire was getting stronger, and they thought that a big war had begun.
As for Shang Chengze's life and death, and whether Ji Wu had already lost his life, it didn't matter now, because no matter what their outcome was, tonight's battle would be inevitable.
Since the confirmation of the news requires a lot of delay, and the news will not be sent for the time being, Qin Jin is still a little worried.
If the assassination of Ji Wu is unsuccessful, Ji Wu is likely to become angry and give the order to set fire to Hanjiacang City when it is not guaranteed. However, setting fire to the city is not a hasty blink of an eye, at least a day and a half of work must be spent on arranging flammable materials and fire points, especially the fire point, if the selection is not in place, the fire is likely to be saved in a short time.
He only hoped now that Ji Wu had never had the intention of setting fire, even if he set fire in a hurry, it might not be able to cause much loss to Hanjiacang City.
"Doctor, the storming of the right door has begun, the night is cold, go back to the military tent, save the cold!"
This is a voice that is both strange and familiar, but when I look back, it is a long history.
For several years, Qin Jin has kept Chen Qianli in the Shenwu Army, and Chen Qianli also fought several beautiful battles last year, dragging a large number of rebels in Fengling Pass with a lone army, and Tian Chengsi was dragged down outside Fengling Pass.
"Okay, go back, stay outside, even if you worry about it, it won't help. ”
After breathing a sigh of relief, Qin Jin and Chen Qianli returned to the private tent next to the Chinese army side by side.
The Chinese military tent is only used to raise the account on weekdays to convene military generals to discuss the military, because it is too large and too empty, Qin Jin would rather dispose of official affairs in the private account.
Looking at the mountains of official documents in the tent, Chen Qianli said with emotion:
"The doctor is still so busy with military affairs day and night!"
Qin Jin smiled:
"I can't wait to give birth to two pairs of hands and feet, I always feel that it is not enough!"
Although the words were said lightly, Qin Jin deliberately did it in order to maintain a relaxed atmosphere after all, so there were some traces, and both of them felt uncomfortable.
Chen Qianli is no longer the straight black fat man he was at the beginning, and the vicissitudes of life over the years have made his originally bulging stomach dry up, and his face has many more marks and wrinkles because of years of wind and frost.
For a long time, I only heard him sigh:
"When I was in Xin'an, I never thought about it...... There is today. ”
"Forced by the situation, if it weren't for this catastrophe, maybe Qin would still be a county lieutenant in the court of Xin'an County, wasting his ...... years."
"Qianli still hopes to be an unruly soldier under the doctor!"
Qin Jin was silent, the war drums outside the tent were bursting, and the roars and shouts of killing gradually began to sound. This sudden conversation was not what he expected, and he never even thought of having an open and honest conversation with Chen Qianli. In the end, it may be that it is difficult to be calm, but in this case, avoiding it is the best result.
If you follow Chen Qianli's words, it will be dry and unnutritious clichés, but it is better to be silent than to be more real.
Chen Qianli and he once shared hardships and hardships, and experienced that thrilling battle in Xin'an. But this person has a heart of ice in his heart, and when it comes to it, Qin Jin also knows that he is not as pure as Chen Qianli, and the contradiction between the two is getting farther and farther away from this crack.
However, Qin Jin's mind suddenly became clear, and he was somewhat disturbed at first, which affected his judgment to some extent, but now after his mind stabilized, he immediately realized that Chen Qianli found himself tonight, he must not be gossiping, maybe there is something important about this person?
