"The lord rest assured, the lower officials have already made contact with the prince of Tongguan, and our army can pass through Tongguan unimpeded.
"Good! In this way, the army can be freed up to launch a full-scale war to destroy Chen and unify the Chinese country. ”
When all the generals in the palace heard this, they were all very excited, and their eyes were full of desire to win fame in the war.
Three days later, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Jin army gathered here in the military field of Nuoda, and at the same time, there were as many as 300,000 soldiers outside the city who were ready to attack.
On the high platform, Yang Er stood majestically and quietly, and he looked at the boundless more than 100,000 soldiers. He knew that his speech could not be heard by everyone, but he still had to speak loudly.
"Soldiers, for the early peace of the Great Sui Empire, for your parents and wives to reunite with you as soon as possible, and for your descendants to live happily without military disasters. Today we have to fight, this is our last battle, and a strong Great Sui will be created by you. Today I order you to take the capital for this king and destroy the rebel party, can you do it? Yang roared loudly, almost bursting his throat.
"King Jin is mighty--- a hundred battles are victorious--- all the soldiers in the audience stood up and shouted, and their voices resounded in the sky.
"Good! This king commands --- to go! ”
"Roar ---"
Like a military parade on campus, a column of majestic teams walked in front of Yang Er's high platform. Even the commander Yu Wenhua rode through the high platform calmly, no soldier was on foot, more than 100,000 troops were neatly dressed and well-equipped, and the mechanization of mules and horses had been realized, which Yang Er wanted to see, and even saw nearly 100 iron cannons supported by tall mules and horses in the military formation.
The army that came out of the school field went directly out of the West Gate, and together with the 300,000 troops waiting in the wilderness outside the city gate, they embarked on the long journey of the west to conquer the capital.
Not long after Yang Er returned to the mansion, a good news from General Hua Gongyi was delivered to him, which made Yang Er very happy. It turned out that under the sweep of tens of thousands of Jin troops from the south of General Hua Gongyi, the states of the Central Plains surrendered when they heard the wind, and there was almost no battle. At this point, except for the two counties of Hongnong and Shangluo and Xiangfan in Nanyang, all the areas north of the Yangtze River were included in the sphere of influence of the Jin king, and a total of 500,000 people who originally belonged to the anti-king people in each state were surrendered. A total of 200,000 horses and horses of the Great Sui River Defense Army, which were originally scattered in the Yangtze River border defense in Jiangbei Prefecture, also attached to the King of Jin, for these Jiangfang troops, Yang Yong in the capital was too far away, and Yang Guang, the King of Jin, was in front of him, and he was also the Prince of Great Sui, so it didn't matter who he belonged to.
When the Western Expeditionary Army went to Hangu Pass, the encirclement and suppression war against King Tangbi of Jinan was also in full swing.
Wu Tianxi besieged Yuncheng but did not attack, so that not a single soldier could rush to the aid of Tangbi, Jinan Prefecture, which was being attacked by the Jin army from the east and south.
The Jin army, which was attacking from the east, under the command of Lu Zhaolin, was attacking the cities of Zhangqiu and Tingshan.
Under the leadership of Xue Wanche and Du Fuwei, the South Route Army went straight to Jinan Mansion, and did not encounter a threatening resistance along the way, and had arrived at the city of Jinan Mansion on this day, which made Tang Bi and other Jinan Mansion civil and military forces in the city panic, and the people in the city were also panicked.
"General Chu De, you mean that there are 200,000 Jin troops outside the city? Could it be that Lu Zhaolin broke through the Zhangqiu and Tingshan of the mansion? Tang Bi asked Chu De, the general in charge of military affairs, in a panic.
"My lord, Zhangqiu is guarded by Mr. Yin Yue, and there will be no obstacle in the short term; Tingshan also has a certain general's brother, Chu can guard it, and he can also guard it for a while. The Jin army that suddenly besieged the city was a man from Lu County in the south, and the leading generals were Xue Wanche, the general of the Jin army, and Du Fuwei, the former Jianghuai Haoqiang! Chu De exclaimed.
"In this case, can the Jinan City of this government still be defended?" Tang Bi asked Chu De in fear.
"Lord, now the defenders in my city are 80,000, and we can hold it for a while, but it is very difficult to drive away the enemy outside the city!" Chu De said bitterly.
"Humph! This mansion is not incapable of fighting, thinking that my 80,000 people will stick to Xiongcheng, how can he Xue Wanche and Du Fuwei's 200,000 horses be easily defeated. The government will personally go to the city to fight to boost the morale of the army. Tang Bi's triangular eyes widened and shouted angrily. In fact, this Tang Bi is also a military general, and his gun and horse kung fu is not weak, and he also won the title of King of Jinan with his military exploits earlier. It's just that after a few years of stable life, some of them are wasted and immediately work hard.
"The last general is going to be like this, and I have enough grain and grass in Jinan City, and there are all kinds of materials to defend the city, if the army's morale can be greatly boosted, it is enough to defend this city for a year!" Chu De also said excitedly, and Situ Xu beside him also nodded again and again, after all, in the eyes of these generals, the defenders with 80,000 combatable soldiers were still sure to hold the city in the face of 200,000 enemy attacks.
"General Xue, do you have a good plan to break the city?" Du Fuwei, who was outside the city of Jinan Mansion, asked Xue Wanche, the general of the Jin army on the side.
"Huh! The army led by a certain institute was originally the elite of Baima Yicong, and he had attacked the desert with General Wu Yunzhao. The city of Jinan is not enough in the eyes of this general. General Zuo Tiancheng ---"
"General Xue, the last general."
"General Zuo, do you still have many grenades in your army?"
"Huh! General, there are no more, only 10 per person, and they have not been used all the way. ”
"Good! General Zuo, General Ben ordered you to rashly 200 white horse soldiers sneak into the city gate when our army is attacking Jinan City, and blow up the city gate for me with a grenade, I don't know if you dare to go? ”
"General, why don't you dare, but please give me cover."
"Du Qianhu, how about you lead 3,000 archers out of the city and use bows and arrows to cover General Zuo to blow up the city gates?"
"General Xue, rest assured, there are many people in my Jianghuai army who are good at shooting. Where is General Chen Liu'er? ”
"The last general, Lord Du, please command."
"Select 3,000 strong men, go forward 200 steps under the city, release arrows to suppress the Jinan army at the head of the city, and cover General Zuo's commando to blow up the city gate."
"The last will obey."
Immediately, Chen Liuer went to the rear army, and Zuo Tiancheng also went to the army to choose people who dared to die.
"Lord, the enemy army is about to attack, please go down to the city!" The situation of Chu De at the head of the city was critical, and he couldn't help but persuade Tang Bidao, who was still watching the enemy's situation at the head of the city.
"Humph! But I want to see how he conquers my city. "Tang Bi is worthy of being a military general, and he is still somewhat sure of defending this fortified city, and the army defending the city is all veterans who have followed him for many years.
"My lord, please avoid the arrows. Thousands of archers of the enemy army came. ”
"Hmmm! Order the whole army not to show their heads, and see what he wants. ”
Outside the city, 3,000 archers lined up in a neat queue slowly came to a distance of 200 steps away from the city, and the defenders of the city had already seen that these were archers with bows and arrows, and they all hid their bodies according to the orders of the officials, ready to meet the rain of arrows under the city.
"Ready--- release!" With a shout from outside the city, the archers all began to fire their arrows.
For a time, a continuous rain of arrows fell on the city. Some of the soldiers who did not hide well were caught in a rain of arrows, or were wounded or killed by arrows. The defenders of the city were so frightened that they did not dare to show their heads, and let the rain of arrows pass overhead
Taking advantage of the precious time that the archers had created for him, Zuo Tiancheng was shirtless, holding a bag full of grenades in one hand and a large shield in the other, covering the top of his head to prevent random arrows from falling from the city. A group of more than 100 people, all dressed like Zuo Tiancheng, all shirtless, holding a bag in one hand and a shield in the other, all without weapons. Under the cover of Duvowe archers, they ran straight to the city gate.
"General, look. An enemy army rushed to the gate of the city. Suddenly, a small colonel on the upper floor of the city gate exclaimed.
"Huh?" Chu De held a shield and arrows in one hand, and while poking his head out to look down at the city, he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Shoot me arrows down, shoot these Jin soldiers raised by bitches." ”
After listening to the commander's order, the archers in the city could no longer care about the random arrows that kept shooting, and one by one, with the assistance of the shield players around them, they opened their bows and released arrows and shot straight at Zuo Tiancheng and others who were about to rush to the city gate hole.
Despite the protection of shields, more than a dozen soldiers of the White Horse Battalion were wounded by arrows, but they were defended by large shields, and most of the arrows were on their legs and feet, which did not hinder their lives.
"General, there are solid stones behind the door! This can't be exploded! A personal colonel said to Zuo Tiancheng.
Zuo Tiancheng didn't believe it, hurriedly looked inside from the gap in the city gate, and suddenly shouted: "Ah? And so it was. Anyway, blow up this gate first, and then say, quick, ready. ”
Zuo Tiancheng ordered, and the troops did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly put the grenade bags they brought under the city gate. Zuo Tiancheng saw that there were almost dozens of bags of grenades, and it was estimated that it was almost, so he took out a thin rope and tied one end to the pull ring of a bag of grenades, and then hurriedly retreated dozens of steps away under the cover of the army's shields, and then pulled the rope suddenly, and after a while, only a loud noise was heard, and the tall solid wood city gate was blown into slag, and more than a dozen pieces of stones were lifted together with the stones piled up behind the city gate. It's just that the stones that remain behind the city gate are still enough to block the soldiers outside the city, especially the cavalry, who can't pass through.
"Give it to me again, and make sure to blow all the stones to smash it all and clear a way into the city." Zuo Tiancheng destroyed the city gate but it was still impassable, so he immediately shouted.
Immediately, the more than 100 soldiers of the White Horse Battalion once again ignored the bows and arrows shot down like rain above their heads, and cooperated with each other to cast a turtle's back on the top of their heads with a big shield, and let the arrows on the city rain down, they could still slowly rush to the city gate hole again.
In this way, five waves of grenades were carried out in a row to blow up the city gates. The gates of the city were gradually blown open, and the rocks that stood in front of them finally revealed a path that two horses could pass through in parallel. It could be seen that thousands of Jinan troops were setting up a position at the end of the road, waiting for this assault team to rush into the city.
"And grenades?" Zuo Tiancheng asked anxiously about the daredevils, most of them had arrow wounds, and there were more than a dozen soldiers who were killed by arrows, which made Zuo Tiancheng's heart ache.
"General, there are less than 100 grenades left in the hands of more than 100 of my people." A small colonel reported behind Zuo Tiancheng.
"That's it! Find 5 people with enough arms, throw these 100 grenades into them, blow up these dogs, and go. ”
"Yes, General." After the colonel agreed, he quickly selected a few of the soldiers who had not yet been injured to throw grenades the farthest and came to Zuo Tiancheng's side, and at the same time each of them held a grenade bag in their hands, which contained the grenades in the hands of all the daredevils.
"You 5 go in and blow up, blow up the enemy troops inside, remember to throw it leisurely, and buy some time for Lao Tzu."
"Yes, General." The five veterans of the White Horse Battalion agreed, and then rushed into the gap in the city gate and began to throw grenades at the enemy troops not far inside
As an explosion sounded, Zuo Tiancheng hurriedly shouted to the junior colonel beside him: "Quickly signal the cavalry behind, let them rush into the city gate quickly, don't look stupidly there." ”
"General Xue, look at General Zuo's signal."
"Good! The cavalry charged me and rushed into the city. Xue Wanche heard the reminder of the little colonel with good eyesight beside him, so he didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly ordered thousands of white horse cavalry behind him to attack.
"Lord, the city gate is occupied by the enemy, although our army is numerous, it is not inferior to the firearms in the hands of the Jin army, and we can't kill the enemy troops who enter for a while." Chu De shouted to Tang Bi, who was supervising the battle, with a panicked expression.
"Lord, look, the cavalry of the Jin army is coming to grab the city gate." A lieutenant colonel exclaimed.
"Huh? Let me shoot arrows to stop the enemy from entering the city. The Chud Mansion orders you to take back the city gate at any cost, go quickly. Tang Bi shouted.
"Yes, my lord." Chu De said yes and hurried down the city.
Just between the two sides at the city gate, as the grenades thrown by Zuo Tiancheng's daredevils gradually became sparse, the Jinan army in the city gradually relied on the large number of people, and gradually forced Zuo Tiancheng and others to the gap in the city gate, and they were about to be driven out of the city.
"Lao Zuo, dodge away, come some!"
At this critical moment, thousands of soldiers of the White Horse Battalion led by Xue Wanche personally arrived, and Xue Wanche took the lead in jumping into the gradually open city gate and rushed into the city, and then thousands of cavalry followed into the city with a lance, and immediately fought with thousands of Jinan infantry in the city gate.
Fortunately, all the cavalry brought by Xue Wanche was the elite White Horse Battalion, and this rush scattered the thousands of infantry in Tangbi. This gate was firmly occupied, and Du Fuwei followed and led tens of thousands of cavalry to rush into the city from this gap.
The loss of the east gate of Jinan is like pushing the dominoes, and the other three city gates have no intention of defending anymore, and the 80,000 defenders in the city are panicking.
The Jin army that entered through the east gate had reached 100,000, and the defenders in the city could no longer resist.
Tang Bi was in a hurry, and the prancing horse came to fight Xue Wanche who rushed into the city with a sword. When Xue Wanche was about to raise his gun to fight, he didn't want Zuo Tiancheng to rush out with a gold-backed machete in his hand and shouted: "Don't move, general, wait for the last general to go to battle." ”
Zuo Tiancheng rushed to Tang Bima as soon as he spoke, and did not answer, but slashed with a knife. Tang Bi was terrified, raised his knife to meet him, and the two generals fought in the alleys in this Jinan city.
"General Xue, this person is Tangbi, the king of Jinan." Du Fuwei caught up with Xue Wanche and whispered.
"Huh! This little man with triangular eyes is the king of Jinan? If Lord Du didn't say it, would General Ben still think that the general behind him would be Tang Bi? "It turned out that Chu De in the Tangbi army was coming here with thousands of pro-troops. The Chude people are tall and big, with good looks and bright armor, and they have the posture of a general at a glance, and they are not like the Tang Wall is short and thin.
"The general can use his body to block a certain block, and see a certain arrow to help General Zuo take Tang Bi's life." As he spoke, Duvowe was about to take his bow from the saddle.
"Wait, why don't you capture this thief alive?" Xue Wanche was suspicious.
"Huh! The general doesn't have to stop him, as long as the lord dies in Tang Bi, he doesn't want Tang Bi to live. With that, Du Fuwei had already mounted a carved arrow and began to aim at Tang Bi.
Xue Wanche was about to speak, when he heard the ringing of the bowstring in his ears, and then looked at Tang Bi in the battle, screaming and falling off his horse on his back.
