The battle of the Suzaku Gate of Daxing Palace came very suddenly, at least the ordinary people thought so, but at this time, no one thought about the people. Fortunately, the tense atmosphere during the day caused people to take refuge in their homes early, so that no innocent people were affected.

The loud sound of the horn resounded in the sky, and the bloody breath permeated outside the Suzaku Gate, but the dead soldiers of the Guan Long family did not stop, and launched an attack overwhelmingly, and the corners of Pei Renji's mouth showed a cold smile.

"Crossbowman, prepare!" Bae In-gi gave the first order.

Crossbowmen and archers march in the front line, crossbowmen in front and archers in the back, crossbowmen are long-range, archers are close attacks, and far and near are staggered.

The crossbowmen were lined up in three rows, the first row of strong crossbows pointed diagonally downward, the second row was at eye level, and the third row pointed diagonally to the cloudy sky, and the spear-like crossbow arrows pointed coldly into the night sky.

The dead man is getting closer and closer, and the monstrous murderous aura seems to destroy everything in this world, Li Gaoqian, the general of Li Tang Hussars, raised his sword and shouted, "Break through Daxing Palace, the women and treasures in the palace belong to you, kill!" ”

"Kill."

The dead soldiers carried simple ladders, and under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, they instantly rushed to the range of the Sui army's strong crossbows.

Pei Renji waved the war knife in his hand fiercely and said loudly: "Third row, shoot." ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Three hundred strong crossbows were suddenly launched, and three thousand giant arrows formed a cloud of black arrows, roaring towards the night sky.

Suddenly, the dead soldiers turned over on their backs, nearly a thousand people were shot down, and then the second row of crossbow arrows of the Sui army came, and the dead soldiers continued to scream and fall to the ground in the charge, and the first row of arrow clouds roared again, and the dense giant crossbow arrow array was like a storm, shooting through the shields and leather armor of the dead soldiers, and after the big arrows often pierced one person, the powerful strength and pierced the second and third people were exhausted, and the dead soldiers rolled to the ground one by one, and were trampled into flesh by the dense crowd.

The three rows of Sui crossbowmen skillfully operated, methodically on the crossbow, into the crossbow, the crossbow, the crossbow, the fire in turn, only three rounds, the dead lost nearly 10,000 people, the heavy losses made the dead soldiers quickly fade a lot, the formation has been a little messy, but the forward has rushed to a hundred steps away.

The archers who have been waiting for a long time began to shoot vigorously, the first row of archers used longbows, the arrows were two feet five long, the steel clusters were very sharp, they shot out at an elevation angle, thousands of arrows were as dense as a torrential rain, the strength was strong, even people and horses could shoot through, this wave of arrow rain, the dead soldiers who rushed through the front fell to the ground with arrows, the dead bodies piled up, the Sui army's arrows were extremely fast, so that the dead soldiers rushed forward and were shot over, plus the crossbowmen cooperated with the launch, the dead soldiers never rushed within 100 steps, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

However, the reason why the dead are called dead soldiers is that they are people who dare to die without dying, and some of them are for glory and wealth or to repay their kindness, and they can not even want their lives; More people were cultivated by the Guan Long family when they were young, after a series of cruel training, they completely forgot about betrayal, and only loyalty in their hearts, in the actual combat of real swords and guns, they have long been numb to the threat of weapons, and they have the spirit of not being afraid of death, which also achieves the purpose of training "dead soldiers" in each family.

The 'house slaves' of the Guanlong family who attacked the Vermilion Bird Gate in front of him are undoubtedly this kind of people. And those 'soldiers' in Fufeng County and Beidi County don't even have the qualifications to be dead soldiers.

The aristocracy did their utmost to provide for the dead and satisfy all their wishes, in order to make them die on such occasions. Therefore, the dead soldiers knew that the front was a dead end, and they also rushed forward to kill one after another, regardless of life and death!

A pair of eyes are full of indifference!

Full of indifference—

Ignoring the lives of others is also disregarding one's own lives.

"These people are really not afraid of death." Fan Ze, who was beside Pei Renji, was amazed.

"That's the horror of the dead!" Pei Renji's voice was overflowing with a strong sense of cruelty, and said: "This battle is not so much a fight with Li Tang, but a fight with hundreds of families in Guanlong, because these dead soldiers are also one of the most terrifying backgrounds of the family. Therefore, these dead men must die. Otherwise, the Great Sui, Your Highness, you and me, and your children and grandchildren will have endless troubles! ”

"Whoa!" Fan obeyed the order.

"Give Shen Guang and Cheng Yanjin an order, tell them the horror of the dead, and they will do their best to kill them all, dare to have a trace of mercy, and there will be no mercy." Pei Renji instructed the soldiers on the side.

"General, this is not in order, is it?" The commander of the pro-soldiers was a little hesitant.

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson."

"Whoa!" Facing Pei Renji's angry gaze, the commander of the personal guard was clever and hurriedly arranged for the soldiers to go to Hanguang Gate and set up the door to give orders.

Bae In-ki's guards passed through the city walls, and soon arrived at the Anmenmen, which also became a place of killing, only to hear the wailing and screaming outside the city gates

Under the firelight, the dust flies, the yellow dust fills the sky, obscures the heavens and the earth, makes the bright moon colorless, the drums and shouts of killing are earth-shattering, the corpses are all over the field, the blood flows like rivers, and the tragedy of the war makes every soldier struggle as if he is struggling in front of the gates of hell

"General Cheng......" The guards finally found Cheng Yanjin, and told Cheng Yanjin about Pei Renji's worries and orders one by one.

Cheng Yanjin, who still had a trace of pity, let out a cold sweat, thinking of the scene when he and his family were secretly killed and preparing to assassinate by a group of poisonous snakes, he felt terrified and shuddered.

Lao Cheng no longer dared to have the slightest pity, and immediately ordered: "Throw fire oil at Lao Tzu." ”

One after another, trebuchets were pushed up, and a jar of fire oil was thrown into the air, and then it rained down like a shower of hundreds of paces.

The street of Chang'an City in the east-west direction is wider than the north-south direction, among which the horizontal street in the south of the Imperial City of Daxing Palace is the most, it starts from the Chunming Gate of Chang'an (the middle gate of the east wall), passes through the door of the Daxing Palace, the Vermilion Bird Gate, the Hanguang Gate, and reaches the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an (the middle gate of the west wall), which is as wide as 500 steps. Therefore, the range of the trebuchet used now is calculated, and if it is farther, it will hit the Wubenfang, Xingdaofang, Shanhefang, and Taipingfang across the street.

However, the enemy mainly came from Anmenmen Street, which ran north-south in front of him, so Cheng Yanjin also had a lot less worries, and for the safety of his own life, he didn't care about letting people smash fire oil.

After a few jars filled with oil, rockets poured down from the sky, and in an instant, the flames burst into flames, and many dead soldiers were swallowed up at once.

At the same time, Pei Renji and Shen Guang saw that the dead soldiers had already arrived on the street, and immediately took the same means as Cheng Biting Jin, throwing out a large amount of fire oil.

In a split second.

At the feet of the dead soldiers, the fire burned bigger and bigger, spread rapidly, and on the palace wall, there was a jar of fire oil constantly thrown down, so as to increase the fire, in an instant, nearly six miles long and five hundred steps wide in front of the imperial city of the side street turned into a sea of fire, everywhere there are fire people running away, people who fell down in the fire struggled, the terrible screams resounded throughout Chang'an City, the side street south of the imperial city became a human purgatory, many Sui soldiers could not bear to look at it anymore, they turned their heads one after another.

Such a tragic scene, even Li Gaoqian, the general of Li Tang Hussar who was in charge of the battle here, couldn't stand it, and some couldn't hold on, the casualties were too heavy, and they hadn't approached the palace wall, these dead soldiers had already died six or seven percent, how could this battle continue?

He climbed the temporary ten-zhang high command tower, looked at the area of Longshou Plain, which was still dead and silent in the north, and became more and more anxious, he couldn't hold on here, why didn't the damn Dou Cong attack? With such a big movement, aren't you afraid that Yang Tong will run away?

"Damn bastard!" Li Gaoqian struck each other with his fists heavily, and shouted at the people below: "Pass the order, let all the dead soldiers in Shanhefang carry sandbags to extinguish the fire." ”

"Whoa!" Orders came down one after another, and soon they arrived in the Shanhe Fang.

The dead soldiers carried sandbags and rushed out of the open wall, braving the rain of arrows and arrows to extinguish the fire with sand one after another.

"Hum~"

A rain of arrows fell, and a large number of dead soldiers were killed by the clusters of arrows falling from the palace wall as if they were mowing grass.

"Ladder up, archers, suppress!" Li Gaoqian, who was in the rear, saw that the raging fires were extinguished one by one, and immediately gave orders.

Commanding the Dead to attack, bows and crossbows began to rain down arrows on the palace walls, making it impossible for the defenders to kill the Dead with impunity.

What's going on?

On the city wall, Fan Ze dialed the cluster of arrows that were shot, and looked at the archers who appeared behind the opponent, these people were more than one grade stronger than the charging troops, and the military formation was strict, and more importantly, these people didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers in front of them, just poured arrow rain on the palace wall, and let the army of dead soldiers in front fall down in pieces under the wanton blows of their own archers, a soldier shot an arrow, and before he could take another arrow, a crossbow arrow that broke through the air shot directly through his chest.

"Quick, knock down their ladder!" Pei Renji angrily commanded the soldiers to stab to death the dead soldiers who had just emerged, these people were not afraid of death, and after they came up, they still had it?

"General Pei, what now?" The battles experienced by Fan Ze were all hard-fought white-knives battles, this kind of battle to defend the city, it was the first time to participate, and I was a little panicked when I saw these dead soldiers rushing up without dying.

These people have become so numb that they don't care about their own life or death, and the death of the robe can't have any effect on them at all, and they only have one thought, which is to rush forward, even if they know that it is death.

At this moment, he finally realized the feeling of the Tang Army who guarded Xiangwu City in Longxi County in the past, how tragic was the 'human ladder' composed of 80,000 corpses? And these people in front of them are probably no worse than those Turkic slaves.

"What should I do?" Pei Renji said coldly: "Since they want to let all the dead die, why should we be polite!" Just annihilate one of them in one fell swoop, and remove this big trouble for my Great Sui. Pour the oil down the ladder and set it on fire, and I will see how they will be extinguished this time. ”

When the order was laid, countless oil had been poured on the city, and torches were thrown from the city.

With a 'boom', a flame appeared on the ground, which quickly spread to all sides, and soon spread, and the fire became bigger and bigger, and spread again.

The besieged dead began to panic, and a fire also ignited on their bodies, and the screams and screams resumed.

"Pause!" Pei Renji ordered: "Don't be too ruthless, give them hope, so that you can lure out the dead soldiers in the city and kill them one by one." ”

Fan Ze's mouth twitched.

You're old, you're so ruthless and black. I really don't know where your word 'benevolence' came from.
