Chapter 478: The Siege
No matter how strict the military discipline is, it can't restrain a group of soldiers who are almost crazy, especially when these former guardians of the Tang Dynasty become marauders.
What Tang Dynasty decrees, what fathers and sons, monarchs and ministers, are not as good as a jade cup, a golden hairpin, and a silver pot in front of them......
In the face of these innumerable treasures, any fear of imperial power will no longer be fear, but will turn into jealousy, greed, and endless hatred.
This is a kind of morbid madness, far from being the madness that can be controlled by a pale and feeble military order, and at the same time it is far beyond Qiu Shiliang's expectations.
However, this madness was gradually extinguished in front of the heads of more than a dozen bloody Shence soldiers, and when fear haunted the hearts of the soldiers again, when everyone picked up the discarded feather arrows again and put them back into the quiver, Qiu Shiliang had been delayed in the imperial city for several hours.
If you want to arrive at the back court of Daming Palace in the shortest possible time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to go out of the West Inner Garden through the Hanlin Gate, and to enter the West Inner Garden, you must pass through the Xuanwu Gate.
This time, Qiu Shiliang did not hesitate, because he knew that time was already a luxury for him.
Xuanwu Gate.
Xuanwu Gate is located in the north of Taiji Palace, south of Daming Palace, a city gate just separates the two palaces, different from other gates, Xuanwu Gate has only one city gate, respectively by the left and right Yulin Army of the left and right battalion flying cavalry to serve as the guard, a total of about 10,000 people, each set up a hussar general, which shows the importance of the status of Xuanwu Gate.
Although Li Chen's trip to Lishan had taken away most of the Yulin army, he did not dare to relax for a moment for a choke point like Xuanwumen.
Even if such a shocking thing happened in the capital, for the 10,000 defenders of Xuanwu Gate, it was just a matter outside the door, all they had to do was to firmly guard this gate and never let others step into it.
Of course, this is also true for Li Mo, who has infiltrated the West Inner Garden.
Li Mo looked at the heavily guarded flying cavalry camp in front of him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
A dead soldier looked back at the people accompanying him, and said with some hesitation: "Shaolangjun, in such a situation, don't say that you are killing the enemy Shiliang, we are afraid that we will not be able to get out of the Xuanwu Gate at all!" ”
"If you kill the past, will it work?" Li Mo said without thinking.
The accompanying dead soldier smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "If you talk about the method of killing, the villain is proficient, but if you talk about the way to lead troops to attack and defend on this battlefield, you don't know anything!" ”
"Then find someone who understands!"
When the dead soldier heard this, he immediately shouted at the generals behind him: "Which of you knows how to siege the city, come forward and speak!" ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, they had followed Xiao Liang for a long time, although they had learned the methods of killing people on the battlefield, but they had no knowledge of the tactics of arranging troops and attacking cities, and when asked about this matter, they could no longer answer anything except at a loss.
After seeing this, the dead man scolded stupidly, and then shook his head helplessly at Li Mo.
Li Mo immediately gritted his teeth, turned around and was about to give the order to attack the Xuanwu Gate, but unexpectedly, the dead man next to him looked at the Xuanwu Gate in front of him and exclaimed.
"Shaolangjun is slow!"
Li Mo looked back when he heard this, and saw that the defenders who were originally only on guard at the head of the city suddenly increased several times, and the defenders under the city were still pouring up the city, although there was no sound because of the distance, but just looking at the posture of those defenders, he knew that someone must have come to attack the city.
"It must be Qiu Shiliang who is here!" Li Mo was overjoyed.
......
If the people of Chang'an felt fear before, then at this moment, all they felt in their hearts was despair.
In the first year of Dazhong, on the 25th day of the first month, at noon.
A total of 80,000 troops from the Heshuo Coalition Army, the Shuofang Army, the Fengxiang Army, the Jin Shang Army and the Dongdu Shofang Five Roads respectively poured into Chang'an City, Zhuque Street, and various roads from Kaiyuanmen, Yanping Gate, Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate, Yanxing Gate, and Chunming Gate, and finally surrounded Taiji Palace and the Imperial City into a solid iron barrel, which was impermeable.
Even with such momentum, only half of the total army really entered the city, and there were still 80,000 troops guarding the periphery of the capital, surrounding this vast ancient and modern Tang capital into a lonely city.
For the people of Chang'an City, no one knows what is going on, let alone which is good and which is bad.
Deep despair is like a wild beast, destroying the body and mind of the people of Chang'an in the roar.
And what everyone didn't expect was that what caused all this was just a small Youzhou Governor Shi and Marching Sima.
When a huge fear enveloped the entire capital, Li Zhen's heart was not easy, although he lost contact with Li Mo, he knew that he still couldn't do more.
"Zeyuan! Is Erlang really in Taiji Palace? ”
Zheng Jin, who came in a hurry, was a little skeptical that Li Zhen's judgment was correct, after all, it was impossible for any person in his right mind to take more than a thousand people to vain the absurd idea of trying to kill Qiu Shiliang within tens of thousands of divine troops.
What's more, this person is also Li Zhen's brother who grew up since childhood.
Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I won't go if I were you, but Erlang ......" Saying that, Li Zhen looked at Zheng Zhen and said helplessly: "Do everything!" ”
After hearing this, Zheng Ji thought about it, and said quietly: "Erlang is brave, maybe it's really ......."
"Have you seen him?" Li Zhen interrupted.
Zheng Zhen shook his head and said, "I've never seen it!" ”
"And how do you know he's brave?"
"Those who can do this are either stupid or brave, since they are not stupid, they must be brave!"
Li Zhen: "......"
While the two were talking, they saw Gao Biao and Gu Duoda running over panting through the layers of surrounding troops.
Without waiting for Li Zhen to speak, Gu Duoda gasped and waved his hand again and again: "Shorty...... General Lee, I have a high ...... But...... Way...... Run! Sometime...... Don't forget to talk to me...... Please! ”
When Gao Biao heard this, he immediately complained: "I don't know which fool's order actually let 80,000 troops into the city, and I and Lao Gu will not be able to ride horses when they enter the Tonghua Gate!" If it weren't for Shao Yi's order to lead the way, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get here in two or three hours! ”
Zheng Zhen smiled bitterly when he heard this, raised his chin at Li Zhen, and said, "The stupid person you said is standing in front of you!" ”
Gao Biao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in surprise: "Zeyuan, this ...... How so? Do you know that once these 80,000 troops enter the city, they will not even be able to exert thirty percent of their usual combat strength! ”
Li Zhen immediately pointed to the imperial city behind him and said, "Qiu Shiliang is here, plus the divine army of the imperial city and Taiji Palace, I am afraid there are as many as 100,000!"
"One hundred thousand?!" Hearing this, Gao Biao immediately shouted bitterly: "Zeyuan, in vain, you have experienced a lot of battles in Youzhou, how can you commit such a taboo!" Street fighting in the city is not as good as ...... outside the city"
"Who said I wanted to fight Qiu Shiliang?" Li Zhen said directly.
"That'...... So what exactly do you want to do?! ”
