Chapter Ninety-Four: Xuanjia Siege

Jianye City in Dongyue was busy for a while, and a large number of scouts were constantly checking the whereabouts of the enemy around Jianye City.

In the evening of the next day, Shan Chenwei had a simple dinner, and discussed countermeasures with Xiao Cheng, Liu Yanzheng, Gu Xutang and Han Jing overnight. Although Shan Chen Wei judged the direction of the Xuanjia Army's march, he didn't expect it to come so quickly. In this way, I am afraid that the Xuanjia army will not stop, and will immediately attack the city. When Han Jing heard the news, he pondered whether the Xuanjia Army of the Western Wei Dynasty had something to do with the Jiuli clan this time, he had already guessed that it was Chen Fan when he heard the battle situation in Xuancheng earlier, but he didn't know the situation of Chen Fan's several people at the moment. Xuancheng's puppet army and this Xuanjia army seemed to be cooperating, but they couldn't figure out what the connection was. Shan Chen Wei decided to enter the palace immediately to inform Emperor Wen that the enemy was coming, and he even planned to persuade Emperor Wen to withdraw from Jianye and rush to Huiji.

Almost at the same time, Xuandong received the previous order from the Ministry of War, and ordered the Xuanfu to send troops to support the war in the area of Xuankou and go to Xuancheng first. The sergeant who gave the order was blocked by Tian Li on the road for two days, so Xuan Dong was very puzzled when he received the order, Ye Zheng had not returned to Huiji, and he did not know what happened in Xuancheng. The military intelligence department of the policy government just reported that there was a battle in Xuancheng, and the puppet was repelled by a mysterious scholar, and then looking at the order of the military department, it did make him a little difficult, but he still ordered the sergeant of the policy government to prepare for the war, and waited for Ye Zheng to decide to send troops in two days.

The soldiers in Jianye City immediately got busy, and the ordnance was constantly transported to the city wall, and the common people also saw the abnormality, and they heard that there was an attack from the Western Wei Dynasty, and they were all hiding at home, not daring to come out easily, it seems that this year is not good.

Emperor Wen learned that Shan Chenwei had entered the palace overnight, and knew that something must have happened, and when he heard that the Xuanjia Army had arrived, he was a little flustered, forcibly calmed down, and asked Xiang Shan Chenwei: "Do you want to stay?" ”

Shan Chen Wei's face was embarrassed, he thought for a while, and boldly suggested to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, do you consider withdrawing Huiji first, and then come back after the Xuanjia army outside Jianye has been annihilated." ”

"What, you want me to escape?" Emperor Wen listened to Shan Chenwei's words, and immediately became furious, the capital of Dongyue was built in the past dynasties, and no emperor had ever left, and he categorically refused to withdraw from Huiji.

When Shan Chen Wei saw that Emperor Wen was angry, he had no choice but to continue: "The minister tried his best to defend the city. ”

Emperor Wen listened to Shan Chenwei's words, he didn't speak immediately, but walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a softened tone: "Please, during the defense of the city, you can use and dispatch all the soldiers in the city." ”

Shan Chen Wei quickly knelt down and replied with affirmation: "People are here in Jianye City, please rest assured, Your Majesty." With that, he got up and took his leave. Emperor Wen looked at Shan Chenwei who was leaving, and he said to the interrogator on the side: "Tell Long Yuan to get ready, if you really can't keep the house, then withdraw the meeting." ”

The trial was a little wooden, and Emperor Wen said that he was preparing to withdraw Huiji at this moment, and his previous attitude was completely different, and it seemed that the emperor's mind was really difficult to understand. The judge agreed, and also turned and left.

Not long after Shan Chenwei and Xingan left, Gu Xutang walked in from a dark place outside the door, and Emperor Wen seemed to have expected it, and said lightly: "Can Jianye hold it?" Gu Xutang replied with a heavy face: "It's difficult, Shan Shangshu mobilized a group of soldiers in the city, and it depends on the offensive of the Xuanjia Army." ”

"Where is Han Jing who has been to Chen Lin now?" Emperor Wen suddenly asked Han Jing's whereabouts.

Gu Xutang didn't hide it: "It's in the military department." ”

Emperor Wen continued to ask, "What do you think of this person?" ”

"The people of Qinggu should have some ability, but they don't seem to practice martial arts, his goal is Jiuli, or Zhang Jue, and it should have nothing to do with Western Wei." Gu Xujiao has always been Emperor Wen's henchman, and he is very deeply hidden, and he is quite close to Shan Chenwei, Xiao Cheng and others, also to facilitate the monitoring of the whereabouts of several people.

"Zhang Jue took away a large number of sergeants, I saw the wrong person, Jiu Li's hand, I wrote it down, as for Han Jing, observe it for a while, let them fight." After Emperor Wen finished speaking, Gu Xujiao nodded, turned around and was about to leave. Emperor Wen suddenly stopped him again: "By the way, did Jin Huiqun find anything there?" ”

Gu Xujiao turned around and replied: "He hasn't come out since he returned home, and as for the swordsman battalion's attack, most of it was instructed by him, and the purpose has not yet been clarified." ”

When Emperor Wen heard Gu Xujiao's judgment, he said coldly: "Find a chance to get rid of him." ”

"Okay." After finishing speaking, Gu Xujiao disappeared outside the door.

Outside the city, the Xuanjia army of the Western Wei Dynasty has arrived, and there are some small groups of sergeants harassing along the way, but they are all quickly swept away, Shu Zhenghe came to the north gate of Jianye City, looking at the majestic city wall, he suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, Jianye, Lao Tzu is here." The Xuanjia army around him also echoed, and they were all ready to attack the city at any time.

Zhong Xu slowly walked out of the rear army formation, he called Shu Zhenghe, and ordered: "Hurry up and prepare the siege equipment on the spot, and then launch the offensive at midnight." Shu Zheng and Ying Nuo, turned around and led people to the woods outside the city to cut down the giant trees needed for the siege. Zhong Xu was thoughtful, and said to himself: "Xuan Dong, I don't know if this Jianye City can be guarded until you come." ”

The scouts kept going in and out of the military headquarters, and Shan Chen Wei learned that the Xuanjia soldiers were approaching the city and were already preparing siege equipment, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, and ordered the soldiers of the city to defend it strictly.

At midnight, the Xuanjia army lined up outside the north city gate to form a military formation, and Zhong Xu and Shu Zhenghe stood together. Shan Chen Wei was also on the city wall at the moment, and he yelled at Zhong Xu: "Bold Zhong Xu, dare to come to attack my Jianye, I advise you to retreat immediately, otherwise you will be beheaded in a different place." ”

Zhong Xu didn't answer, he snorted coldly, and then waved his hand, and the Xuanjia Army charged directly in the front, targeting the north gate of Jianye City.

Shan Chen Wei was a little depressed, this Zhong Xu, as a famous general, seemed to be quite self-conscious, seeing the Xuanjia army attacking, he hurriedly ordered a salvo of bows and crossbows to resist the incoming army.

The Xuanjia Army is different from ordinary sergeants, they are equipped with the unique Xuanjia of the Western Wei Dynasty, this kind of battle armor, the appearance is dark, the sturdy is abnormal, and what is even more rare is that it is extremely light, which not only improves the defense but also does not affect the actions of the sergeants. The Xuanjia army rushed to the city gate very quickly under the rain of arrows, and the giant tree behind him also arrived very quickly, the Jianye city defense army, never seen such a rapid offensive, a group of people kept shooting the bow and crossbow, but except for a small number of arrows in the Xuanjia army, the rest of the people have lifted the giant tree and hit the city gate.

"Bang, bang, bang" The giant tree hit the city wall, and there was a sound of impact, which was like a death knell in the dark night, and the people in the city were woken up, and the siege sound of the north city gate was clearly heard, and there was a panic in Jianye City.

The city gate of Jianye City is quite solid, and the city defense army is also on the other side of the pillar of a giant tree, the Xuanjia army has been hit for a long time, and the city gate is still firm except for the slightest shaking. Xiao Cheng, Liu Yanzheng and Gu Xujiao also hurried to the city wall, looking at the attacking Xuanjia army, several people were quite worried, Xiao Cheng didn't say a word, personally walked down the city wall to the inside of the city gate, commanded a group of sergeants to desperately resist the city gate, and must not let the Xuanjia army break through.

Shu Zhenghe lost his patience, he raised his knife and quickly led a team of Xuanjia soldiers to rush over, Liu Yanzheng saw that the bow and arrow failed to stop the Xuanjia army, he ordered the sergeants to drop the boulder, after a burst of boulders rolled, many of the Xuanjia soldiers in the front row were injured by the boulder, Shu Zhenghe let the injured sergeant withdraw first, and then a group of sergeants stepped forward, and the siege attack continued.

Liu Yanzheng once again let the city defense army drop the boulder, this time the Xuanjia army dodged in advance, and the boulders fell one after another, failing to hit many Xuanjia troops. The siege giant tree slammed into it for a while, the north gate shook more and more, and there was a slight cracking sound, Shu Zheng and Daxi, he stepped forward quickly, let the Xuanjia army step up, and broke the city gate in one go.

The sergeants of the Xuanjia Army struggled to lift the giant tree and slammed into the city gate, and Xiao Cheng clearly saw several giant trees suddenly breaking apart on the inside of the city gate, and he quickly asked the sergeants to step forward to support him, and he must not let the Xuanjia Army break the door.

There was a stalemate on both sides for a while, and bows and arrows kept flying from the city wall, rolling down boulders, but they still failed to stop the Xuanjia Army's breakthrough attack.

Shan Chen Wei was on the city wall, flustered, Gu Xutang looked at it for a while, and suddenly said to him: "Fire oil." When Shan Chenwei heard Gu Xujiao's words, he hurriedly asked the city defense army to bring the oil barrels, and the sergeants were in a hurry, just pushing the oil barrels onto the city wall, ready to throw them. There was a sudden loud bang in front of the city gate, and the north gate of Jianye City was broken.

Zhong Xu saw that the city gate was broken not far away, and immediately ordered the whole army to rush into Jianye City. Shu Zhenghe was under the city wall, when he saw that the city gate was broken, he jumped up with his sword, rushed into Jianye City in the first group, and met Xiao Cheng, the commander of the forbidden army. Shu Zhenghe waved the big knife and slashed directly at Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng's heart was cold at the moment, seeing Shu Zhenghe attacking, he raised his sword to block, and the two fought together. Shu Zhenghe is comparable to Xiao Cheng's martial arts, and it is difficult to distinguish victory or defeat for a while.

The morale of the Xuanjia army that rushed into Jianye City was great, and the Dongyue City Defense Army and the Forbidden Army were desperately resisting, and Shan Chenwei and Gu Xujiao on the city wall saw that the Xuanjia Army had rushed in, and they were desperate to let the soldiers go down to the city to resist.

The two armies were strangled together in the north city gate, and the individual combat ability of the sergeants of the Xuanjia Army was obviously better than that of the city defense army, and the Xuanjia army advanced step by step, and the city defense army and the forbidden army retreated again and again. Xiao Cheng didn't care about fighting with Shu Zhenghe at the moment, he forced Shu Zhenghe back with a sword, and leaned against the forbidden army very quickly, struggling to resist the advance of the Xuanjia army.

Zhong Xu did not rush into Jianye City with the army, he looked around silently, asked the entourage sergeant to record the terrain in front of the city wall, and when it was finished, he slowly walked to the north gate under the escort of his entourage.

Shan Chen Wei didn't expect that Jianye City would only resist being broken in such a short time, he was depressed, and he really didn't know how to explain to Emperor Wen. Xiao Cheng and Liu Yanzheng led the city defense army and the forbidden army to continue to fight against the Xuanjia army, while Gu Xujiao took the opportunity to leave very quickly and went to the palace.

The siege of the Xuanjia Army made Jianye City at midnight a mess, and the people did not dare to go out, Han Jing stayed in the military department, and when he learned that the city gate was broken, he got up and left the military department.
