As the capital of many dynasties, Chang'an naturally has the characteristics that the imperial capital should have, wide and huge. However, no matter how wide and huge it is, it is only relative after all. Now, when the Li army and the Taiping army attack and defend around this city gate, this city gate seems extremely narrow.

"Spearman on top! Shieldman Protection! Ballista Triple Shot! Archers throw freely! Zhang Ren stood not far from the city gate, constantly shouting orders. His expression suggested, his eyes were fixed on the city gate, and if there was any problem in the formation or in some way, he would quickly find it and deal with it.

Under the command of Zhang Ren, although the Taiping army in the city had an absolute numerical advantage, and under the command of Bao Zhu, it continued to launch fierce attacks on the Li army at the city gate, but the Li army still seemed to be rooted and guarded at the city gate.

Yes, Li Jun only guarded the city gate and did not try to enter the city. However, it is no wonder, after all, when the city walls have not yet been captured, it is undoubtedly necessary to pay a greater price if you want to enter the city from the city gate alone.

"Haha, the eldest brother seems to be more sophisticated in terms of command and response~" By Zhang Ren's side, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao couldn't help but praise when they saw Zhang Ren's performance.

"Hehe, the second brother and the third brother are not bad, I have heard a lot of your deeds over the years." Zhang Ren chuckled when he heard this, but his eyes were still fixed on the city gate.

The three of them kept chatting, but most of the time, it was Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao who talked, but they didn't bother Zhang Ren too much. Well, they are indeed a little idle now, although they were ordered to attack the east gate, but unlike Zhang Ren's task of guarding the city gate, they are mainly responsible for extinguishing the fire on the city wall, and then occupy the east gate wall.

It's just clear that they really didn't have anything to do while the fire was still on. After all, they commanded the firefighting, but in reality it was just a matter of letting the soldiers pour sand and dirt on the city wall along the ladder cart.

At the other three gates, the fighting was much more intense. Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Guan Yu and even the soldiers under their command had already held back their strength, and now they finally got the order to attack, and suddenly like a tiger descending from the mountain, the Chang'an city wall launched a fierce offensive.

In this regard, although Huang Da and others continued to command the soldiers to resist, because the East Gate was breached, the morale of the Taiping Army has declined wildly, which has made the pressure on defending the city more and more great.

Many times, when the war is fought to the end, it is all about morale, even if it has an advantage in terms of equipment, troops, and even all aspects, but once the morale collapses, it can only be slaughtered by others. It may sound mysterious, but it's just the way it is. For example, Xiang Yu's ruin in the past is the best embodiment of morale in the war.

Of course, if there is one explanation that must be given, then perhaps it can be explained by concentration, that a soldier with high morale forgets life and death in battle, and only thinks about killing the enemy. Everyone strives to be the first, and naturally conquers everything. Soldiers with low morale often can't concentrate, they will be afraid, they will be frightened, they will not help but retreat, and therefore they will show all kinds of flaws, and even dare not fight the enemy.

And now, this is the case, although the soldiers of the three gates are constantly resisting the enemy army, their attention can always involuntarily think of the situation on the east side of the gate. Even though he knew that he might die if he lost his mind at this time, he still couldn't control his thoughts.

In this regard, Huang Da and the others were also very helpless, although they used high-ranking officials to motivate morale, and even killed several soldiers who were cowering in a row, but they could not lift up the low morale.

But even so, Li Jun only has the advantage, and if he wants to take the city wall in one go, at least at present, it is still impossible.

But Lu Bu and the others were not in a hurry, just maintaining the current fierce offensive and maintaining pressure on the enemy army. Because they knew that the moment when the fire at the east gate was extinguished was the time for a real general attack.

At the same time, Ma Chao stood on a temporary high platform on Chang'an Street, his eyes also staring at the city wall of the East Gate. Like Li Jun's side, he was waiting for the fire on the city wall to be extinguished. He had already sent Zhang Heng and Cheng Gongying to lead the army to garrison the steps of the city wall, and as soon as the fire was extinguished, he immediately climbed the city wall to block the enemy army.

It's just a pity that Li Yi can't give Ma Chao a chance to recapture the city wall. Soon, the fire in the middle of the city wall was extinguished, and Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun immediately led their troops to climb the city wall, and while letting the soldiers continue to extinguish the fire, they directed the soldiers to start attacking the enemy forces at the east gate.

"Retreat! Out of enemy range! I don't believe they would dare to storm the city! Seeing this, Bao shouted helplessly. He then retreated to safety with his troops, but remained surrounded by the east gate.

"The front team retreated to the camp to rest, and the rear team stepped forward and continued to guard the city gate!" Seeing this, Zhang Ren hurriedly ordered. But he still doesn't plan to take the opportunity to enter the city.

"Bastard! Are all the people under the command of Li Thief so greedy for life and afraid of death?! Looking at Li Jun's actions, Ma Chao slammed his fist on the wooden fence in front of him, and scolded with murderous anger.

"Steady and steady, never in a hurry, even if you miss the fighter, but in the end you can still gradually grasp the ......advantage with your strong strength," Hearing this, Wang Yi on the side sighed faintly.

Her tone was full of helplessness, because this kind of dignified way of using troops really didn't have much to crack in this situation. I know what the other party is going to do, but I can't do anything, this kind of feeling is quite uncomfortable.

"Damn!" When Ma Chao heard this, he looked at the east gate angrily and muttered to himself. He naturally understood what Wang Yi meant, but like her, Ma Chao couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

"Go! Tell Ziping and Zihua that no matter what the price is, they can't let the enemy rush to the north and south city walls! Even if you fill it with your life, you have to block the enemy for me! Ma Chao yelled murderously.

"No!"

Time flew by, and soon, the fire on the wall of the east gate was completely extinguished.

"Yuanda! Give you 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city walls from the northeast corner with friendly forces! Be sure to attack me! Seeing this, Lu Bu immediately ordered loudly.

"Please rest assured, General!" When Hao Meng heard this, he hurriedly answered in a loud voice, and then led the troops out of the formation.

At the same time, Gao Shun at the south gate also reacted almost at the same time, ordering Hou Cheng and others to lead the elite to start attacking the city wall.
