Chapter 861: Knocking on Chang'an (8)

On the city wall of Chang'an, the gong of the alarm sounded loudly!

In the sudden situation, the soldiers defending the city did not have any sharp weapons in their hands, and the rolling stones and sassalwoods were still stacked in the middle of the city wall.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the defenders, these people brought by Fan Chou were not armor-piercing, and under the bow and arrow, there was almost no defensive ability, and a few of them were shot by the bow and arrow, and they fell under the suspension bridge with a scream, and the splash caused by it was dyed red in the blink of an eye.

But more Xiliang soldiers took advantage of the fact that the defenders of Chang'an were caught off guard, and rushed in after Fan Chou, shouting and fighting bravely, killing all the panicked defenders.

Between Fan Chou's slashing and slashing, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he immediately reacted, he had already killed out of the door hole of Zhangping Gate and rushed to the city wall of Chang'an City!

In order to accommodate more people, but also because of the limited land in the city wall, even many people's squares were forced to be built outside the city, even the original Changxin Palace, but also had to demolish a section of the city wall before it was placed in the north.

What's more, in order to solve the problem of the growing population of Chang'an, as well as in order to solve the problem of the local heroes of the Han Dynasty, there was a pioneering initiative from Liu Bang, and the rich people from various regions were constantly moved to the capital, and the city walls could not be put down, so they built a mausoleum in the periphery, especially by the emperor's own cemetery, which also had a city wall and basic urban functions.

Even after the rebellion of Wang Mang, the imperial mausoleum system of Chang'an City still survived, and even after several wars now, these mausoleums still play the function of a satellite town of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in fact, the current Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty was not a city, but a huge and incomparably urbanized commercial, economic, and political aggregate formed by seven small mausoleums and a main city. Among the seven mausoleums, there are five larger, more prosperous, concentrated on the north bank of the Wei River, at that time gathered all over the country of the rich many, fighting for each other is not uncommon, so in the poem left in the "Wuling youth" words are derived from this.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a city scale, at the time node of about 200 AD, has a huge population base and advanced urban structure, and stands at the peak of the whole world.

Therefore, the so-called city defense of Chang'an is not only the defense of a big city, but also the defense of a total of eight cities scattered on both sides of the Wei River.

Overall, Chang'an City is the only super city in the world that does not have an outer city wall!

And now the city wall of the main city attacked by Fan Chou is equivalent to the inner city of Chang'an, and the city wall around Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace is the imperial city......

Therefore, after breaking through the Zhangping Gate, it is the inner city of Chang'an City!

The Xiliang Rebellion Army actually stepped into Kyoto in the Han Dynasty with one foot, Great Chang'an!

Fan Chou was suddenly in a trance, and he came in so smoothly that even he was a little surprised.

Suddenly, a black light came from the corner of Fan Chou's eyes. Fan Chou, who was experienced in fighting on the battlefield, turned his body instinctively to one side before his brain gave the order!

But the speed of the arrows was still too fast, and Fan Chou, who was a little distracted, was not completely able to dodge, the arrows slashed across his chest, and the sharp blade cut through Fan Chou's Ge Buyi, and also cut a bloody hole, and blood gushed out immediately.

Under a round of arrows above the city, several guards around Fan Chou suddenly had no time to dodge, some were shot in the limbs, screaming in pain, and some were directly shot at the vital point, and immediately fell to the ground with a muffled snort.

Fan Chou almost didn't think much about it, he immediately grabbed a corpse from the ground, blocked it in front of him like a shield, and quickly rushed towards the city wall next to the city gate, while shouting: "Grab the city wall!" Kill them all! Chang'an City is broken! Chang'an is broken! ”

On both sides of the wall, one side is a gentle but long road with a military road, which is steep but with stairs going up.

Fan Chou's corpse shrank behind it, only to hear a popping sound, I don't know how many arrows were shot on the corpse for a while, and the elite who followed up around him were shot from time to time, and they fell down the stairs with a shout.

The Xiliang soldiers who rushed to the city wall, everyone knew that this short section of the road was the Huangquan Road between life and death, where would there be the slightest hesitation and relaxation, each of them opened their legs, and ran up in three steps and two steps!

The blood of the dead flowed down the stairs, and Fan Chou rushed to the city with the corpse like a wounded beast like a wounded beast!

As soon as Fan Chou stepped on the top of the city wall, he violently pushed the corpse to the pikemen lined up in front of him, and then hid behind the corpse and crashed into the spear array guarding the city!

The pikemen who were close to him were almost instantaneous, and they were slashed and chopped by Fan Choulian, and they were crushed, and the blood flowed everywhere as if they didn't want money, and a gap was suddenly opened.

The Xiliang soldiers who followed closely behind Fan Chou rushed into the gap frantically, regardless of the desperate fighting, in such a small area of the city, the defenders who were in chaos were gradually suppressed by Fan Chou's Xiliang soldiers, and the continuous casualties gradually consumed the morale of the defenders, so they gradually retreated......

Every time the guards of the city took a step back, they gave more space to the Xiliang soldiers who rushed to the city wall, and with Fan Chou's bravery, it didn't take long for these soldiers on the city head to be cut down or turned around and fled.

The second group of Xiliang soldiers who were hiding behind rushed up, and Fan Chou's strength was immediately strengthened.

Fan Chou commanded the soldiers to directly start burning the city gate tower, on the one hand, it means that Chang'an City has been breached, creating greater chaos, and on the other hand, it is also a signal to notify the troops in the distance......

At this moment, the defenders in the rest of Chang'an City were also alarmed, and there were gongs everywhere, and an urgent call to call was sounded, but with the loss of Zhangpingmen, many unknown people ran in panic, and the streets were full of panicked people running, headless flies, overturned cargo burdens, knocked down rack cars, and all kinds of sundries, scattered everywhere.

I don't know if it was man-made or unintentional, there were also a few fires in the neighborhoods in Chang'an City, and suddenly thick smoke billowed out, which increased the riots of many people, screaming, running wildly, and trampling, and many people did not even die under the blade, but were trampled to death by the originally friendly neighbors......
