The Tiance army and the Shatuo people on the outskirts of Chang'an are in full swing, and the Wang Houchun group in the northern city area is also anxiously waiting for the signal to attack the city, but this time the signal agreed by the two armies is no longer the flying horse transmission, nor the war drum and horn urging, but the loud sound of the hellfire brigade.

"Lao Jiu, it's almost time, why hasn't there been any news from the Chinese army? If you don't come to Xiaosi's arrangement in the city, you won't be able to catch up? We can't really blow up Chang'an City. Li Tianyi, who was assigned to the siege corps because he was injured, came over anxiously and said to Wang Houchun, who was standing still beside him.

"Wait—" Wang Houchun was about to speak, when he suddenly felt the ground under his feet shake, and then a huge fireball suddenly burst out of the air, and a deafening explosion shook the ground.

"Tianyi, you are responsible for commanding the battle in Beicheng, tell the soldiers that this is a critical moment to recover Chang'an, and you must show twelve points of courage to give you three hours, and you must take Chang'an City before sunset today. I am personally responsible for the East and South Cities. Wang Houchun showed a long-lost joy on his face, and said to Li Tianyi and Chai Jia beside him.

After saying this, he hurriedly returned to Nancheng with his personal guards, and the third battalion was already waiting in Nancheng and Dongcheng. As soon as Wang Houchun left, Li Tianyi immediately raised the flag, "The whole army listens to the order and immediately attacks the city." The war drum corps began to convey the general's orders, and the various troops were already ready, and almost at the moment when the drums sounded, the whistling catapults began to throw large stones and oil canisters towards the towers of Chang'an City.

And the archers who had long been in place also began to fire arrows towards the city tower under the cover of the sword and shield hands, and almost instantly suppressed the Shence army that had been stationed on the city tower, and in the rain of arrows, rows of rockets also began to participate in the attack, because the ballista brigade was transferred, at this moment the siege corps began to think of other ways, these rockets extending from the fire oil bombs flew up to the city tower from the hands of the archers.

After the archers overwhelmed the defenders, groups of infantry began to carry special ladders towards the walls. Chang'an City is the capital of the two great unified dynasties of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the city fortifications have been perfect, the city wall made of the original stone of the characteristics is five or six zhang high, and the ladder of Chang'an City siege needs to be specially lengthened, which is almost twice as long as the general ladder. And the appearance of the ladder also made another ancient siege weapon appear in front of the world's eyes, the battering ram and the cloud tower.

I saw a large group of soldiers pushing a huge battering ram and began to accelerate slowly, rushing towards the corner gate of the north city of Chang'an City, this weapon Tiance Army had been eliminated, and the few planes in front of me were still transported by the captured Shence Army, only to see that the battering ram crashed into the corner gate after accelerating, and the huge tooth-sour sound of metal resonating came out, and the walls of Chang'an City moved, but the corner gate was still standing there firmly, not moving at all.

However, there is no abnormality in the Tiance Army from the commander to the soldiers, if there is movement in Chang'an City at this time, it will not be Chang'an City, so if it doesn't work once, then continue, the battering hammer hit the city gate one by one, and the tooth-sour sound continued to resound throughout the audience.

Li Tianyi and Chai Jia, who were standing on the command platform, glanced at each other and waved their right hands, so that the cloud tower behind them began to join the battlefield, the cloud tower was actually an improved version of the siege tower, this strange weapon was one of the indispensable equipment for ancient siege warfare. With the appearance of the cloud tower, groups of soldiers began to lay thick wooden planks on the ground as a passage to pull the cloud tower. With the movement of the cloud tower, the archers who were responsible for the cover of the battlefield began to throw arrows at the city tower without money, and the dense arrow rain that roared through completely suppressed the city tower defenders did not dare to raise their heads, and also provided a safe passage for the advance of the cloud tower.

It's just that Chang'an City is too big, and the length of the city wall in the north city has reached seven or eight miles, and such a long city wall allows the Tiance army to concentrate near the city gate, so it is difficult to attack the city, which is also the reason why Hu Xiaosi entered Chang'an City in advance to make arrangements. However, all the arrangements need to be triggered by the development of the situation, so for the siege corps, the siege still needs to go all out.

And as the siege weapons of the Tiance army appeared on the battlefield one by one, the Shence army in charge of defense, under the leadership of the general Li Shunjie, began to avoid the area where the Tiance army was concentrated, and attacked with bows and arrows from the side. This move did not surprise the Tiance Army at the beginning, and a large piece was shot down by the bow and arrow in an instant. But Li Tianyi's counterattack quickly made up for this piece, the catapult began to bombard the area where the Shence army was concentrated, and even in order to increase the power, he directly poured the fire oil on the stone and ignited it and launched it, this time the north city of Chang'an City was suddenly filled with thick black smoke again, and the huge stone smashed on the city wall with flames, driving the surrounding Shence army soldiers to fly up instantly, and the huge waves fueled the raging flames. This directly disintegrated Li Shunjie's offensive, and also allowed the other groups to carry out smoothly.

At this time, the cloud ladder has been erected on the city wall by the front-line soldiers, and a group of Tiance Army soldiers holding shields and Tang knives began to rush up along the cloud ladder, and the five huge cloud towers also began to slowly test the city wall, and from the top of the cloud tower, a narrow wooden board was released directly on the city wall. On the other side of the cloud tower, the stormtroopers personally selected by Chai Jia were also ready, and they began to quickly ascend the cloud tower along the stairs, preparing to go directly to the city wall from the cloud tower.

"Order the archers, increase their efforts to cover the soldiers to enter the city, and we must find a way to transport the soldiers up." Chai Jia waved his hand to let the herald quickly convey the general's order, and then said to Li Tianyi: "Tianyi, you are in charge of commanding, I will go to the city wall, I estimate that if it goes well, it may not be necessary for Xiao Si's arrangement." ”

Li Tianyi shook his head and said, "Yang Fugong is not incompetent, it is impossible for him to be defenseless when we attack the city with great fanfare, so you better be careful." If you can hold out for more than a quarter of an hour, I will send a signal, and then his lurking men will find a way to solve the problem for you, and you must concentrate your men to open the city gates. As long as the city gate is opened, even if Yang Fugong transfers all the 100,000 Divine Ce troops in Chang'an City, there is no way to block the impact of our Heavenly Ce Army. ”

When Chai Jia heard this, he immediately understood what Li Tianyi meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as my personal guards go up to the city tower, there will be no problems." You just wait to command the army to rush into the city and carry out the mission. I'll take someone to pick up Houchun when the time comes. After speaking, he jumped off the command platform and roared: "The personal guards set off with me, and we will go up to the city wall." ”

Chai Jia's dispatch meant that the siege battle of the Tiance army had reached a critical moment. The siege strategy formulated by Wang Houchun was to use the siege momentum outside the city to disturb the sight of the Shence army, and cover the Xuanying Guard inside the city to open the city, so as to reverse the situation. And for the sake of insurance, in case the dark guard is unable to complete the task and needs the siege corps to complete the task independently, they can also quickly open the city gate, and the dark guard of the Xuan Ying Guard has done a trick at the right corner gate of the northern city, and this trick and foot needs someone to break into the city to start this step.

This method of double insurance is the best way to ensure that the city gate is taken on time, after all, Xuan Yingwei has arranged too many links in Chang'an City, and many of them even involve the post-war period, so there is no room for error.

Besides, Chai Jia led his guards to the edge of the city wall at a rapid pace, and then began to climb up a ladder quickly. In order to cover Chai Jia's movements, Li Tianyi specially sent a team of archers to track and cover the attack and block the attack of the defenders on the city tower.

Speaking of which now, under the coercion of Li Shunjie, these Shence troops are stubbornly closing their eyes and letting the city defense equipment be thrown down the city one by one. All kinds of boulders and trees continued to roll down the ladder, smashing the soldiers of the Tiance Army to the ground. These methods of using the cover of the female wall to evade the archers' attacks gradually began to work wonders. This time, however, Chai Jia was the first to climb up, holding a heavy copper shield against the stones thrown down from it. And those stormtroopers who were already standing on the cloud tower saw their general Dutong personally ascend to the city, and immediately put down all their burdens, regardless of whether the Shence army was blocking in front or not, after going to the cloud tower, they jumped directly along the wooden plank that was diagonally attached to the city wall, and finally someone successfully landed on the city wall after sacrificing more than a dozen soldiers in a row.

The stormtroopers were Li Tianyi and their carefully selected warriors with high martial arts, so almost as soon as this soldier of the seventh battalion named Xue Yang stepped on the city wall, the Tang knife in his hand was instantly swung out, and he directly hacked to death a soldier of the Shence Army who rushed towards him. The shield that landed on the ground in his left hand slammed on the ground, and his body flew up, desperately smashing on the head of another soldier, directly blasting the head in front of him, and the red blood mixed with the yellow and white things sprayed out, scaring off the others who tried to surround him.

And Xue Yang also took advantage of this rare moment to guard the follow-up Yunlou stormtroopers to the city wall. With the increase in numbers, part of the stormtrooper stayed in place to pick up the other brothers to climb the city wall, and the remaining part began to follow Xue Yang to pick up Chai Jia.

This change disrupted the counterattack that the Shence army had finally organized, and the fighting spirit of the Shence army was the worst, and the Shence army in Chang'an City was not so much a city defense army as a bandit hooligan, and such an army could not have any fighting spirit and ability. In the early stage, he was able to rely on the city wall to defend in front of the general's moderation, but at this time, when he saw someone on the city wall, he was in chaos.

Li Shunjie, who was downstairs in the central city of Beicheng, saw Xue Yang and others go up to the city wall, instantly broke his encirclement, and hurriedly rushed over with his personal guards to force the soldiers to fight back, but on the battlefield, he could not immediately organize this chaotic army to counterattack.

But fortunately, Xue Yang led people to rush over to support Chai Jia, so the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, the number of Shence troops is getting denser and denser, and the resistance encountered by Xue Yang is getting bigger and bigger. But fortunately, Xue Yang's rear cloud tower was supported by a steady stream of soldiers climbing the mountain wall, and this wave of offensive was finally not as successful as before.

Li Shunjie mobilized all his men to encircle and suppress Xue Yang, but he forgot that his biggest enemy, or that he could only deal with one enemy now. Chai Jia, who was on the top of the ladder, took advantage of this opportunity and almost rushed up, and the height of five or six zhang ended almost in an instant after no one interfered. Chai Jia smashed the shield in his hand at an enemy soldier who was standing on the city tower with a spear and was about to stab him, his body suddenly rose up, and a harrier turned over and went directly to the city wall, and the long knife in his hand in mid-air had already been swung out, and a huge human head flew into the sky with a flash of knife light.

"The brothers killed me, cut Li Shunjie, and entered Chang'an City." Chai Jia roared angrily, and the long knife in his hand slashed out, and several Shence troops around him were all killed in one move.

"Kill into Chang'an City and capture Yang Fugong alive." Chai Jia went up to the city wall, and Xue Yang's side and Chai Jia were united before and after, and they instantly cut off the opponents around him and joined Chai Jia. Xue Yang hacked a junior colonel to death while calling out Chai Jia's words.

The convergence of the two sides also temporarily relieved the pressure on the follow-up soldiers of the Cloud Ladder and the Cloud Tower, and at this moment, Chai Jia's personal guards also climbed up one after another, giving Chai Jia the strength and time to implement the plan. At that moment, Chai Jia did not hesitate, and directly ordered Xue Yang: "Xue Yang, you immediately lead the stormtroopers to defend this section of the city wall, pick up the brothers and come up, and the personal guards will follow me and cut down Li Shunjie." After speaking, the long knife stretched out and ran towards Li Shunjie.

Li Shunjie was originally Yang Fugong's appearance, because the three armies of Yongguan were given the surname Li by Zhaozong. At this time, seeing Chai Jia taking the initiative to run towards him, a trace of anger suddenly flashed on his face, and he pulled out a long knife and howled to greet his own guards, who also rushed towards Chai Jia.

"Dangdangdang" The two of them passed three moves like lightning, Chai Jia's face showed a hint of flushing, this Li Shunjie is obviously much higher than Chai Jia in strength, the two of them passed three moves, he didn't seem to have anything, just stepped back, and then pounced.

But at this time, a trace of ridicule suddenly flashed in Chai Jia's eyes, and in the next moment, a personal guard beside Li Shunjie suddenly made a move, and slashed at Li Shunjie's body with a thunderous momentum, and suddenly Li Shunjie's blood spurted out, and his body shook with a roar. And this guard did not hesitate to hide in the crowd after making a move, and a few dodges actually came to Chai Jia's personal guard.

Chai Jia saw that Li Shunjie was dyed red with half of his body, and smiled fiercely: "Who do you think you are when you die?" Today I will let you go to see Lord Yama. After saying that, his footsteps flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Li Shunjie, and the long knife in his hand slashed out, cutting off Li Shunjie's head with a knife.

This change made everyone's Divine Strategy Army stunned, and they didn't expect such a change at all. The fall of Li Shunjie also meant that the Shence army in Beicheng completely lost the will to resist, and was driven by Chai Jia to retreat frantically towards the city.

The city wall of Chang'an City was finally taken, but neither Chai Jia on the city wall nor Li Tianyi, who was in charge of the command below, did not relax in the slightest, but concentrated on the spirit of twelve points.
