Chapter 720: Fierce Battle Xuanwu
Zhang Yun led nine hundred soldiers to crawl on the inner city wall, and the Danfeng Gate tower was about one hundred and fifty steps away from them, he beckoned the deputy general Zhang Yuanzhi to call up, and whispered to him: "You lead four hundred brothers to seize Danfeng Gate, I will go to Xuanwu Gate, see the rockets I sent, and then start at the same time?" ”
Zhang Yuanzhi nodded, "I understand the humble position, but how can the commander pass?" ”
Zhang Yun glanced at Danfeng Tower, if he passed from the city wall, it would inevitably alarm the defenders, he looked down, and said, "I'll go from the city!" ”
The army immediately divided into two ways, Zhang Yuanzhi led 400 soldiers to stay in Danfeng Gate, Zhang Yun led 500 soldiers from the soft ladder down the city wall, along the root of the wall quickly passed through Danfeng Gate, there were soldiers patrolling back and forth on the tower of Danfeng Gate, but they didn't know that under their feet, one after another soldiers rushed by, disappearing into the darkness.
After about three miles after passing the Danfeng Gate, there is a city tower in front of it, here is the Xuande Gate, not the Xuanwu Gate, the Xuande Gate is another city tower where the West Inner Garden enters the Taiji Palace, but the gate has been sealed, and there are no soldiers guarding it, there is a road here to go up to the city.
Everyone went up the city along the Yongdao, continued to rush to the west, two miles away, the towering Xuanwu Gate City Tower is clearly visible, this Xuanwu Gate City Tower is the place where the Xuanwu Gate Incident took place, the history has gone away, but the Xuanwu Gate is still standing.
To describe it with idioms, it is called a thing is a person, and it is described with a poem, that is, the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year.
Xuanwu Gate is also an urn city, slightly smaller than the urn city of Chunming Gate, two city gates inside and outside, the city gate is a thick wooden gate, wrapped with a thick layer of iron sheet, after the army enters the Xuanwu Gate, it will not enter the Taiji Palace, generally along the sandwich road, quickly go to all parts of the city.
Zhang Yun led five hundred soldiers to stop a hundred steps away, carefully observing the situation on the head of the Xuanwu Gate, there were obviously more soldiers on the Xuanwu Gate than the Chunming Gate, about a hundred people, a small number of them were distributed above the inner city gate, and most of them were above the outer city gate facing the West Inner Garden.
Zhang Yun said to a school captain: "You take fifty brothers to clear the enemy troops in the inner city, you must be decisive and ruthless, and I will come to the outer city!" ”
"Obey the order!"
Zhang Yun immediately said to the three soldiers: "Launch the rocket!" ”
Three rockets soared into the air, drawing out three bright red fireworks, which were particularly eye-catching in the night sky, and the entire Chang'an City was clearly visible, which was the order of action.
At the same time, the Chunming Gate was also opened, torches were lit on the city, and Yao Jin led 10,000 cavalry to rush from miles away and enter the city.
Zhang Yun led 500 soldiers to pounce on the Xuanwu Gate, and the defenders immediately discovered them, and some soldiers shouted and asked, "Who is it!" ”
What answered them was a storm of arrows, and dozens of soldiers at the head of the city screamed one after another, and Zhang Yun shouted: "Kill!" ”
The Chunming Gate can be a little merciful, but the Xuanwu Gate does not have the time to grind, and it must be clean and neat to destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time.
Five hundred soldiers pounced on the north and south towers like fierce tigers, and the soldiers who were not hit by the arrows turned and fled, and after not running far, another burst of arrows came at them, and the remaining seven or eight soldiers were all shot.
Zhang Yun kicked open the gate of the city tower and took the lead in killing it, and there were nearly a hundred soldiers sleeping inside, and before they woke up, all of them died under the Jin saber.
"Collect spears and get ready for battle!"
Zhang Yun shouted, and the soldiers quickly collected more than a hundred spears, and several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists untied the small iron fire thunder they were carrying.
They transported a total of ten small iron fire mines into Chang'an, just to use them at this moment.
The garrison of Xineiyuan was alarmed by three rockets, and immediately a soldier reported to the main general Zhu Jinqing, Zhu Jinqing walked outside the door and looked at the Xuanwu Gate in the distance, a strong uneasiness surged in his heart, and he immediately shouted: "Go to the Xuanwu Gate to inquire about what's going on?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a general stumbled over and hurriedly reported: "General Qiyu, Xuanwumen has been attacked by an army of unknown origin!" ”
"What?"
Zhu Jinqing was taken aback, where did the army come from, how could it be in Xuanwumen?
He couldn't figure it out, it was possible at any city gate, how could it not happen Xuanwu Gate, this is Miyagi!
"General, maybe it's an internal rebellion." There was a pro-soldier next to him whispering.
One sentence reminded Zhu Jinqing that it should be an internal army rebellion, and it could not be an external army.
But who it really is, it doesn't matter for the time being, what matters is that they must recapture the Xuanwu Gate.
"The army is assembled at once!" Zhu Jinqing ordered loudly.
'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums in the barracks sounded loudly, and the 30,000 soldiers of the Zhuzhu Army woke up in their sleep, and they rushed out of the barracks to assemble.
At this time, Guo Song personally led an army of 50,000 to the periphery of the West Inner Garden, and the soldiers pulled down a section of the wall dozens of zhang long, and the cavalry poured into the West Inner Garden.
Suddenly, dozens of torches were lit on the head of the city of Xineiyuan, the torches waved, Guo Song saw it very clearly, this was Zhang Yun's success, the rockets on the Danfeng Gate also took off, and the Danfeng Gate was also taken, Guo Song immediately shouted: "Kill in!" ”
50,000 cavalry like three dragons out of the water, left and right two 5,000 cavalry galloping in the east and west, they were responsible for cutting off the retreat of Zhu Zhu's army to break through to the east and west, in the middle was Guo Song's main force of 40,000 cavalry, he was responsible for defeating the enemy.
Zhu Zhu's army was still gathering, and suddenly there was a shout in the north, and someone rushed to him, shouting: "The cavalry of the Jin army is coming!" The Jin army is here! ”
Zhu Jinqing was taken aback, it turned out to be the Jin army that was killed, and it seemed that it was too late to assemble, so he immediately shouted: "Attack the Xuanwu Gate!" ”
The 18,000 soldiers who had been assembled rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate, 10,000 people covered behind the palace, and the other 8,000 people stormed the Xuanwu Gate.
They had no siege ladder but to think of another way, and the soldiers dismantled a long pavilion and obtained a beam about five feet long, which was two feet in diameter and very stout.
Five thousand crossbowmen formed three teams and fired arrows at the city, and the arrows rained down on the city, so that the scouts on the city could not lift their heads.
"Bang the door!"
A general shouted loudly, and a hundred soldiers rushed to the city gate with a giant log.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the city gate shook violently, but it was not smashed open, and at this moment, five or six iron fire thunderbolts were thrown from the top of the city, which exploded in a series of waves in the crowd of enemy soldiers.
The explosions were so loud that hundreds of soldiers were injured and killed, and the giant trees were blown up, but they were not broken.
The soldiers were so frightened that they retreated, and Zhu Jinqing shouted: "Don't retreat, press up and continue to bang on the door!" ”
At this time, Guo Song heard the explosion and was worried that the city gate would be lost, so he immediately said to Pei Xinling: "Lead 3,000 people to kill it and relieve the siege of the city gate!" ”
"Obey!"
Pei Xin shouted, "Follow me!" ”
He led 3,000 cavalry like a sharp sword, making a hard cut in the dense enemy army, and the 3,000 cavalry killed it.
Pei Xin took the deputy general Yang Xuanying to wield two spears, like a pear blossom rainstorm, such as falling Ying, constantly overturning the enemy troops who rushed up, the two of them opened a bloody road, and rushed to the city gate first, and the cavalry behind killed the five thousand crossbowmen.
A hundred soldiers just picked up the giant tree, ready to hit the wood for the second time, Pei Xin rushed like a whirlwind, killing more than a dozen people in a row, he was extremely brave, blocking the way of the giant tree, the spear flew left and right, the soldiers holding the wood could not resist, and were forced to retreat.
Zhu Jinqing was furious and shouted: "Kill him together!" ”
Yang Xuanying caught a glimpse of Zhu Jinqing, shouted, and urged the horse to rush towards Zhu Jinqing, as soon as he arrived in front of him, the dragon golden gun stabbed at Zhu Jinqing like a storm, Zhu Jinqing was caught off guard, was killed in a hurry, desperately brandished a big knife to resist, and Leng Buding stabbed into his lower abdomen, 'Poof! The spear stabbed him in the abdomen, twisted his wrist, and suddenly picked it up, Zhu Jinqing screamed, his intestines were broken, he was picked and dismounted, the person was still in mid-air, Yang Xuanying stabbed back, the spear pierced his chest, Zhu Jinqing fell to the ground, and he had become a corpse.
Zhu Jinqing was killed in battle, Pei Xin's men captured the giant tree and guarded the city gate, Zhu Zhu's army was in chaos, and at this time, the deputy general Zhang Xiaolong ordered the whole army to surrender.
The soldiers ran and shouted: "General Zhang has an order, the whole army surrenders!" ”
"General Zhang has an order, the whole army surrenders!"
Thousands of soldiers wanted to break through, but could not break through the cavalry defense line, Zhu Zhu soldiers had no backbone, they were surrounded by regiments, cornered, first Zhang Xiaolong's 5,000 troops surrendered, triggering the surrender of the whole army.
In less than half an hour, more than 27,000 troops in Xineiyuan surrendered to the Jin army, they put down their weapons, took off their armor, and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Guo Song ordered to accept the surrender, and the Jin cavalry stopped fighting and escorted out groups of prisoners of war.
