0680: Nightfall
The sun sets and the moon rises, and night falls, but the city wall of Chang'an is still brightly lit, and the huge shouting and killing sound soars into the sky.
Yes, the war is still going on, on the north and south city walls, Hao Meng, Wei Xu and others, who have already rushed to the city wall, have joined forces with Zhang Liao and Zhao Yunbu, constantly trying to expand the advantage of Li Jun in the north and south city walls. It's just that the Taiping army naturally can't easily give up the city wall.
Under the command of Huang Da and Huang Si, as well as the butcher's knives of their personal guards, the soldiers of the Taiping Army, although demoralized, still struggled to resist the enemy's attack. And the steps of the city wall are already full of soldiers, and as long as there is a gap in the city wall, they will quickly fill it. At the same time, Zhang Ren of the East Gate, also under the protection of the archers of the city wall, began to lead the army to expand the territory outward.
Only Guan Yu of the West Gate had to stop the siege because there were no friendly troops on the city wall and it was already night. But apparently, this is only temporary. Looking at Guan Yubu's appearance of being waiting outside the range of the Taiping Army, you can see that he is just waiting for the opportunity. As soon as the friendly forces occupy the north and south walls, he will launch another fierce attack.
In this case, the city wall of Chang'an City has become an efficient meat grinder, and there will be a large number of casualties at every moment, but in this regard, Li Yi and Ma Chao, as the commanders, have no effort to pay attention to it, they just keep deploying troops to try to expand their advantages or recover their disadvantages.
Because they all know very well that the war will not stop until one side completely takes the city wall.
"The front team retreats! The back team makes up! Zhang Ren and the others ordered again. I don't know how many times they gave such orders, although there were many casualties in each rotation, and sometimes they were even forced back by the enemy, but they had to do it. Because of the long and fierce fighting, the physical strength of the soldiers decreased too quickly.
In fact, even Zhang Ren and other generals who did not directly participate in the war now feel very tired. After all, it is also very exhausting to concentrate so much for a long time.
On the other hand, the Taiping army never had any rotation, perhaps because their military advantage was too great? Or maybe it's because they're at a disadvantage, and the situation simply doesn't allow it. All the soldiers of the Taiping Army only followed one after another, and there was no retreat at all. Because there is only one fate for the soldiers who have retreated, that is, they are directly killed on the spot by the overseer team.
Time passes slowly......
"My lord, it's already time." Lu Wen reminded on the side.
"Really? It's going by so fast......" Li Yi said suddenly when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Dian Wei and said, "Zigang, look at your performance." ”
"Please rest assured!" Dian Wei said loudly when he heard this, and there was excitement in his tone that could not be concealed. Well...... Maybe it's because this guy hasn't experienced any war in a long time?
In a short time, Dian Wei led the trap camp into the east gate, and then quickly divided into two parts, and began to launch a strong attack on the steps of the north and south gate walls.
"Is that the trapping camp in the four battalions under Li Yi's command?" Through the firelight, Ma Chao looked at the heavily armed troops and muttered to himself.
Under his gaze, the trapped camp continued to charge towards the north and south stairs, although under the command of Zhang Heng and Cheng Gongying, the soldiers of the Taiping Army continued to block, but in the face of the heavily armored and well-equipped trapped camp, each of which was one of the best warriors in a hundred, their resistance looked so weak.
Almost instantly, the Taiping army's position was torn open by the trapped camp A huge gap, and as time passed, this gap continued to expand. Tiger into the flock? It seems like an exaggeration to describe the offensive of the trapped camp.
But in this regard, Ma Chao doesn't have much to do, support? At this time, a large number of Taiping troops had already gathered around the trapped camp, but they still couldn't stop the trapped camp from constantly approaching the stairs. Although a large number of arrows caused some casualties to the trapped camp, they were only a handful. Most of the time, the arrows didn't hurt the soldiers in the camp at all.
You must know that in order to create heavy armor for the trapped camp, it cost Li Yi a considerable amount of money, and it may be easily shot through by this kind of arrow? Not to mention the countless trapped soldiers, holding their shields high for protection.
That's when it happened.
"Your Majesty, grain, grass, military supplies and other materials have been transferred to the imperial city, and the fortifications have been arranged!" Yang Fu and others rushed to report.
"Hmm......" Ma Chao nodded when he heard this, but his eyes were still fixed on the trapped camp that was constantly advancing. Especially in the northeast, because Dian Wei personally led the army, he had already led the army to the north gate stairs, no matter how Zhang Heng attacked, he couldn't break through the formation of the trapped camp at all.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the palace and rest first?" At this moment, Wang Yi on the side suddenly said.
"It's okay, Yuanwu, I'll leave it to you here." Ma Chao glanced at Wang Yi when he heard this, then nodded, and turned to Han Qian beside him.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
At the same time, outside the city.
Listening to the reports from everywhere, the corners of Li Yi's mouth once again hooked a smile, "In this way, it seems that you only need to work harder to be able to occupy the city wall." ”
"Lord, let the last general lead the flying cavalry camp!" Hearing this, Cao Xing on the side immediately asked for his life.
If there is anyone who is the most depressed in this attack on Chang'an, I am afraid it must be Cao Xing, because from beginning to end, he and his flying cavalry battalion have been staying in the camp and staring dryly, and there is no chance to go into battle at all.
Although there are also the Suzaku Battalion and the Wushuang Battalion with the same treatment, the Wushuang Battalion is a unit commanded by Li Yi himself, and the Suzaku Battalion is a group of female soldiers......
"Hmm...... Then send some men up the wall, but you are not allowed to face the enemy, but only with bows and arrows. Li Yi said after hearing this.
Li Yi naturally knew Cao Xing's depression, but the flying cavalry battalion was a cavalry unit after all, and it was of no use at all on such occasions. Just like Ma Chao's side, he didn't send cavalry troops at all. After all, what role can a cavalry that cannot rush play in the face of countless enemies?
"No!" Hearing this, although he was not very satisfied, Cao Xing still quickly took the order and left. Although it's just pulling a bow and shooting arrows, it's better to kill some enemies than watching the show all the time.
"Lord, the last general and the Vermilion Bird Battalion, are they ......" Seeing this, Lu Wen on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and looked at Li Yi with a look of anticipation.
"Hehe, you want to go into battle too?" Li Yi chuckled when he heard this.
"Hmm!" Lu Wen's little head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, even if she knew that Li Yi would basically not agree to her request.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Li Yi actually nodded. "It's okay, in this case, it's a good time for you to appear!"
"Really?!" Lu Wen looked at Li Yi in disbelief, as if she didn't believe what she heard.
"Of course~" Li Yi chuckled.
