Chapter 1019: Siege
"Outside Zhennan Pass, the 800,000 army is in place, right?"
In the imperial city, on the wide square outside the two-story palace wall of the Taisheng Palace, a middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe asked in a deep voice.
"It has already been arranged, even if you have a little military power in your hands but are not satisfied with your three highnesses, you don't dare to act rashly at this moment."
An old man in battle armor with a sword at his waist replied.
"That's good, that is, only Eleven dares to come outside the Imperial City now, right?"
The Three Princes said.
"Yes, there are only 12,000 troops, Miyagi has been controlled by us, and their troops on their side, it is impossible to break the city in three days, and even if they come in, they will only be surrounded and suppressed."
"On the contrary, the three thousand Praetorian Guards are a little troublesome, and they will not be able to attack the Taisheng Hall for a while."
The old man said respectfully.
"This eleven is just a tendon, my father has sent him to the most remote northwest to garrison the frontier, if you treat him in addition, I can't imagine that he is loyal, it is really ridiculous."
The third prince smiled coldly, and continued: "It just so happens that if he doesn't come, even if the palace is on the throne, he will eventually have a reputation for seeking power and usurping the throne. ”
"The Praetorian Guard's ......"
The old man was a little worried.
"It's okay, General Liu, what kind of place is the Taisheng Palace, the place of the Yi Dynasty, the three thousand Praetorian Guards have been guarding it for a day, if we don't attack and only besiege it, what will be the result after three days?"
The corners of the third prince's mouth floated slightly, he has now invaded the imperial city, and there are 800,000 troops outside Zhennan Pass, which is only thirty miles away from the imperial capital of the Dasheng Dynasty, in fact, the plan has already succeeded, just waiting for the result to come.
"Your Royal Highness is wise!"
The old man clenched his fists and suddenly realized: "Three days later, the forbidden army in the Taisheng Palace, even if we don't attack, the injured will not be cured, and the living will be thirsty and hungry, so there is no need to worry at all." ”
"That's why I didn't launch an all-out attack on the Taisheng Palace, after all, there are three thousand forbidden troops, but the elites from all over the country, if we attack strongly, our losses will be very heavy."
The third prince showed a confident expression, signaling that the old man could go about his work.
On the other side, Su Yang led 12,000 troops to come to Shengyang Gate 500 meters away, 500 meters, guarding the city catapults and other long-range weapons, there is no way to take them.
"Your Highness Eleven, you have some soldiers to surround the imperial city, is this a rebellion?"
After a while, a cold cry came from above the city wall.
"Let the third emperor brother break the idea of seizing the throne, in this way, I will think of brotherhood and let him live."
Su Yang rode a white fierce horse, at the forefront, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"What?"
The voice on the city wall was startled: "I heard it right, His Royal Highness came to the rescue after hearing the news, fortunately in time, otherwise the Dasheng Dynasty at this time is estimated to have changed hands, right?" ”
"Siege the gates!"
Su Yang didn't want to talk nonsense with that person anymore, for fear that the other party was a delaying tactic, and once the Taisheng Palace was lost, everything would be over.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
At the sound of the order, 12,000 sergeants rushed forward in an instant, and the front rows held heavy shields to form a human wall, step by step.
"Shoot the arrows!"
When rushing out of more than 200 meters, an order was given on the city wall, and a long arrow path as dense as rain flew out, and the soldiers in the back row could only block with weapons, and the front row was advancing like a bulldozer, although there were losses, but there were not many casualties.
When they came to two hundred meters below the city wall, a total of about 1,000 people were lost, and when I looked back, I could see that the corpses were everywhere, and the blood flowed into small streams.
War is blood!
"Stop them, no matter how big or small the loss is, but someone must break the city gate, and besides, the eleventh prince must live."
On the city wall, the corners of the old man's mouth floated slightly, and he turned to leave.
Bang bang......
Huge boulders flew out of the city wall, and even the shield array could not resist this level of attack, but if it fell in a row, it would be made up in a row from behind.
And Su Yang's soldiers, to be precise, the soldiers of the Thirteen Princes, seemed to be not afraid of death, and charged forward.
"Put!"
When he reached a hundred meters below the city wall, Su Yang decisively ordered.
Long arrows with flames flew into the sky, and screams suddenly broke out on the city wall, and the remaining more than 10,000 people, one-third of whom were responsible for attacking, and the rest were pushing the siege vehicles forward.
At a distance of 500 meters, after half an hour of fierce fighting, the first group of men and horses finally came under the city wall, and the heavy wooden stakes bombarded the city gate at once.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble......
Within the city wall, after the soldiers blocking the gate guarded for about ten minutes, they all dodged away and avoided both sides of the gate, in the back row, the archers were already ready, Su Yang's army thought about this gate, and they must pay a heavy price.
Thundered!
With a loud bang, the heavy city gate fell, and soldiers rushed in one by one, Su Yang had already dismounted and was heavily protected to enter the city!
Brush!
Brush Brush Brush ......
However, as soon as the city gate was broken, the rain of arrows appeared again, and this time each branch was shot at the city gate, and the density made people frightened.
"Kill me!"
There was a shield, although the casualties were large, but someone still rushed in, and in an instant, the city wall was in close quarters, shouting and killing, and the screams were mixed together, and there was a sadness.
"Go straight to the Taisheng Palace!"
Su Yang's eyes were bloodshot, and the more than 12,000 people he brought with him were all veterans who had followed him on the battlefield for many years.
Almost everyone was soaked in blood, but at this moment, one by one, they fell, dead at the hands of the allies they once protected, guarded.
"How dare they be so afraid of death?"
Under the first high wall, several officers under the three princes were shocked, and the morale and military style of the Northwest Defense Army were really not in vain.
"So what, they have to pass through three high walls, and when they want to rescue the driver in the Taisheng Palace, they are foolish dreams."
An officer snorted coldly, and all the ambush soldiers outside the first high wall attacked, and for a while, more than 10,000 people in Suyang quickly decreased sharply, from nine thousand to eight thousand, seven thousand......
When the first high wall was passed, there were only more than 6,000 soldiers left, and they fell into a situation where there were battles in front and back, and if they went on like this, it was still two to say whether they could reach the Taisheng Palace, let alone extract the heads of the three princes.
"Die!"
Su Yang was holding a long sword in his hand, and at this time, his face was full of blood stains, and he didn't know if it was his own or the enemy's.
Laugh at!
Killing an officer, Su Yang reflexively turned around, and just happened to cut off the spear that was stabbing behind him with a sword, leaning forward, with a sword!
A head falls to the ground!
Sou......
However, at this moment, a long arrow flew coldly, caught off guard, and shot into his left shoulder!
