Chapter 352: The Fall of the City Tower

In the vast middle of the night, the Tang army camp at the west gate of Jincheng, for the soldiers guarding the second half of the night, the second half of the night is undoubtedly a tiring and hungry time, the closer to dawn, the more hungry they are, and their eyelids will fight up and down.

The soldiers in charge of the night vigil thought that it was another ordinary night to endure hunger in the second half of the night, but they didn't want to change the guard less than two hours later, and the sentry deployed outside the camp actually flew back to report: "Quickly report to the captain, the Silla defenders on the city of Seomon have started fighting by themselves......

After confirming that the situation was correct, the lieutenant who was in charge of leading the army to guard the second half of the night quickly rushed into the big tent to wake up his own general and ask for countermeasures.

The leader of the attack on the West Gate was the Qilin Wei Yang General Chengzhi, and his subordinates came late at night to report the internal strife of the Silla army in the West Gate City, staring at a cadre of generals with an incredible face.

"Quick, get so-and-so's armor!"

After clarifying the situation, Yu Chengzhi was anxious to get armor and weapons and strode out of the camp tent, and ordered the whole army to assemble in the camp in a quarter of an hour, otherwise military law would be involved.

Since the commander of the West Gate has served as the chief eunuch of Silla, Jin Bisu has secretly sent envoys to surrender with his own businessmen, and the two sides have reached a consensus in the past few days, and within two or three days, Jin Bisu will open the West Gate and lead the West Gate defenders to surrender.

But at this juncture, the Silla army of Ximen broke out in the middle of the night, and it was not necessary to think about it to know that the surrender of the army led by Jin Bisu must have been leaked, and the two sides were fighting for control of Ximen. At this time, if you don't take the opportunity to take the West Gate, Nuo is Jin Bisu failed, and Jin Cheng doesn't know when it will be broken.

The only thing that is strange is why Kimbisu didn't send someone to inform him to help him? So that now the incident happened suddenly, and the troops were hastily assembled.

The originally silent Tang army camp suddenly sounded the sound of war drums beating and gathering troops, waking up a group of soldiers who were still asleep, followed by the sound of drums followed by the big voices of the generals urging and scolding, and the soldiers who had just gotten up from bed ran to tie up the armor that they had not had time to tie, and rushed to the school field to assemble.

Yu Chengzhi climbed the watchtower, took out the binoculars and looked at the west gate five miles away, and the figures of the Silla army on the city tearing each other apart flickered under the light of the torches planted all over the city tower.

"To the general, the Qilin Guard has been assembled, and the Dangdi Army and the Pingxin Right Army are still being assembled."

Yu Chengzhi led his own Qilin Guard, the Dangdi army of Qibi Guang, and the Pyongxin Right Army of Sha Lu, the Silla army, and undertook the task of attacking the west gate of Jincheng.

The three armies of soldiers and horses camped outside the city in the shape of a pin, and the first to get the news to complete the assembly was naturally the Qilin Wei under the command of Chengzhi.

Fighters are often fleeting, and Yu Chengzhi doesn't want to wait for the other two troops to assemble before launching an attack, which may cause delays.

Immediately sent someone to inform the Yanwang that there was a change in the west gate, and ordered Qi Biguang and Sha Lu to quickly bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to join and attack the city, leaving only a regiment of soldiers to guard the camp, and the remaining soldiers and horses of the Qilin Guard entered and exited the camp. The siege equipment only has a ladder, and the heavy siege equipment is in the Pingxin right army camp, and the assembly of the Pingxin right army has not been completed at this time, and it is impossible to push the heavy siege equipment to the city in a short time.

(Li Yu's army establishment was born from the establishment of the Imperial Court Army, with 3,000 guards per army, and 3 battalions - 14 regiments - 30 brigades - 60 teams - 300 units - 600 units in order, 800 people in each battalion - 200 captains in each regiment - 100 people in each brigade - 50 people in each team - 10 people in each team - 5 people in each team - 5 people in each team - 5 people in each team)

At this time, on the tower of the West Gate City, Jin Dazhong's personal guards and the rebels fought together, and the battle for the city gate hole was even more intense, and the two sides piled up a pile of bones in the battle to the death.

There were only 800 of Jin Dazhong's personal guards, but all of them were not afraid of death, and they were as strong as the large number of rebels, so that the other party has not been able to take the city gate and open the city gate.

The sound of war drums came from the Tang army camp outside the city, and Jin Dazhong knew that this was the prelude to the Tang army discovering that the tearing on the city tower was gathering troops and horses to attack the city.

Thinking of this, Jin Dazhong hurriedly sent someone to gather the rest of the defenders of the West Gate to come to reinforcements, informed the king that there was a change in the West Gate, and quickly sent a group of soldiers and horses to help, so that the defenders of the cities would strengthen their defense.

When the rest of the defenders of the West Gate were ordered to come to support, they paused for a moment and joined the rebels to besiege Kim Dae-jung's personal guards.

Jin Dazhong trembled with a long knife dripping blood and watched his guards fall one after another under the siege of the rebels, only to realize how stupid it was to summon the rest of the defenders of the West Gate to help just now. After the death of the original guard general of Ximen, Jin Bisu, who was originally in charge of supervising the army, concurrently served as the guard general of Ximen and had an affair with the Tang army outside the city for half a month.

These people have long been in cahoots with Jin Bisu, and they pity themselves and use a lot of money to appease them.

At this time, the Qilinwei rushed to the west gate of the city at the speed of a rapid march in less than half an hour, and saw the continuous sound of tearing and tearing from the castle tower, and from time to time the corpses of the Silla people fell from the city. All the soldiers liked to be in shape, and they quickly filled in several sections of the moat with shovels, put the ladder on the city wall, and the soldiers bit the horizontal knife and climbed up with their hands and feet.

The reinforcements sent to ask the king had not yet arrived, and the ladders of the Tang army were built on the city wall one by one.

Jin Dazhong leaned against the wall sadly and stared at the night sky where the stars and moon gathered, facing the situation that almost all the defenders of the West Gate rebelled, even if the reinforcements arrived, it would be useless.

A Tang soldier dressed in Xuanjia climbed the city wall and swung his horizontal sword into the Silla army. With the addition of more and more Tang army soldiers, the castle tower suddenly became full of flesh and blood, and both the rebels and Kim Dae-jung's personal guards became the targets of the Tang army's attacks, and one by one the Silla people fell under the Tang saber with shocked expressions.

The battle for the gates came to an end, and the rebels paid heavy casualties and finally captured two of the three gates. The rebel soldiers could not hide the excitement on their faces and opened the closed city gate for reinforcements, but outside the city gate as far as their eyes could see, there were a group of frightened Tang army soldiers.

After the eyes of the two sides met for a short time, Captain Tang Jun raised his sword and shouted: "What are you waiting for, brothers? Why don't you take the city gate quickly? ”

The officers and men of the Tang Army, who reacted to the "killing ......", were extremely excited and excited, and in the stunned eyes of the Silla rebels, they rushed into the city gate with swords and guns, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the ghosts and wolves that were killed by the rebels who were crowded in the city gate cave cried wolf, and fled backwards in a hurry.

The rebel generals were puzzled, didn't they open the city gate to surrender the city? Why did the Don Army attack them?

Ordinary soldiers were even more confused, except for a few people who knew why they rebelled tonight, most of the soldiers just blindly followed the orders of the generals to slash and kill Kim Dae-jung's personal guards guarding the city gate, and were ordered to open the city gate.

When the city gate was opened, he saw a group of Tang troops outside the city, and before the leading rebel generals could explain to the Tang army, the Tang army rushed to kill.

A rebel general pleaded in the face of the Tang soldier who kicked him down and stabbed him down, "I led the army to open the door and surrender, don't kill me......"

Tang Bing did not stop the knife in his hand because of his pleading, did not hesitate to stab him in the chest, and quickly drew the bloodstained horizontal knife to capture the next target.

Leaving behind him foaming at the blood foam, he stared at the thief's big eyes and watched the Tang Jun who stepped past him one by one, full of joy.

Kim Dae-chung's personal guards died in battle under the attack of more and more Tang troops, and Kim Dae-jung himself was wounded several times, but he still fought two Tang army soldiers alone with a knife without falling behind.

Yu Chengzhi, who climbed the city tower, saw that Kim Dae-jung, a Silla general, was still resisting stubbornly, and pulled out a Tang-like broadsword that was one size larger than the horizontal knife-barrier knife and pounced on it, swinging the knife head-on and slashing it head-on.

With a bang, the heavily injured Kim Dae-jung swung his knife and failed to block the opponent's blow, and Yu Chengzhi's barrier knife slashed deeply into Kim Dae-jung's shoulder blade. Without waiting for the other party to react, his hands jerked violently, the barrier knife was withdrawn, and blood gushed out from Kim Dae-jung's shoulder, who was unhindered.

Kim Dae-jung covered the bleeding wound with one hand, unable to suppress the huge pain in his body and mind, and let out a hoarse howl.

Yu Chengzhi stabbed backhand, and Jin Dazhong's unwilling head fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood gushing from his neck splashed Yu Chengzhi's body.

"Find a captive to identify who this person is? If it's a Silla general, I'll keep my head for so-and-so. ”

Yu Chengcheng swung his knife, and the blood on the knife flew on the wall, and he said to his subordinates casually.

"Whoa"

At this time, the battle on the castle tower ended in warp, and both the Silla rebels and Kim Dae-jung's personal guards were either killed in battle, surrendered, or fled to the city.

Most of the soldiers of the Kirin Guard had followed the defeated army of Silla towards the city, and the Dangdi army and the new right army, which were one step late, continued to swarm into the city through the corpse-strewn city gates.

The fall of Jincheng was a foregone conclusion.
