This chapter counts number 17

Shangyang Palace, between the Provincial Courtyard and the Luyin Palace, a temporary garrison of the Northern Army also suffered an unexpected raid.

Yang Keshi, the general of the Northern Army in the battle, had just pierced a soldier, but he was desperately caught by many parties and couldn't break free for a while, so he could only watch the oncoming Xueliang knife fan, which slashed heavily from the blades of the shoulder armor he had conceded, and the tooth-sore cutting cut off several nail pieces and leather linings, and finally left a slender wound that oozes blood when castration is exhausted.

At the same time, he also stabbed the handguard short knife drawn by his other hand into the opponent's stomach, stirred a large circle, and used the corpse that was not yet dead to cover it, blocking the stabbing and slashing of the other three enemy soldiers on the left and right.

At this time, the guards who followed behind him finally rushed forward, one left and one right with their hands to block and cover, and Yang Keshi, who was a little too prominent, relieved himself and retreated, and returned to his own battle array.

This sudden encounter came and went quickly, and after the southern army attacked and failed, and after leaving behind hundreds of corpses, they quickly retreated among the ruins of the palace.

Yang Keshi didn't give the order to pursue too much, and after leaving the sentry, he retreated to the temporary station, where the green smoke was already curling up, and he had obviously prepared food for the interval between battles.

Then an iron helmet filled with hot food was sent straight to Yang Keshi,

Inside is minced meat strips and dried dried meat, together with the porridge made of aged beans and wheat, which is so hot and thick that people feel full of energy just by asking about the smell.

These are all the grains sent from the imperial city, rice, flour, wine, meat, oil, firewood, and salaries are readily available, enough to support their use for more than a month, according to what they went to accept, including the major warehouses of Jiacang City and Yuanbi City, all kinds of materials are piled up, and countless.

This unexpected news is certainly encouraging to the morale of the army, but compared with the fatigue and hardship of the previous military horses on all fronts, the soldiers who were abandoned in the name of "broken queen" along the way, plus the miserable situation of the citizens in the city of Luodu, it is a little unpleasant.

Today's Xiyuan land on the northwest side of Luodu, with Shangyang Palace as the center, from Tixiang Gate to Yuri Tower to Jiuzhou Pavilion, the vast old site where the original Sui Palace Sixteen Gardens developed, has been transformed into at least sixty or seventy thousand horses, and the chaotic battlefield of repeated battles and battles has been made.

As one of the main directions of attack on the southern front, the imperial city under the protection of the relatively high walls and thick cities, and the large number of remnant defenders gathered in a corner of Shangyang Palace, are undoubtedly the target that must be uprooted first.

Therefore, as the main general, Zhang Shuye can only rely on the only troops and resources at hand, and relatively flexibly fortify layer by layer according to the local formation.

Relying on the terrain trend in Xiyuan to be deep and rushing, fighting with the invading enemy in some important places, so for a while, with the southern army that came to attack, the dogs and teeth were staggered to form dozens of large and small battlefields that were connected or influenced by each other.

The flowers and trees of considerable age and origin have long been trampled and cut down, and the once magnificent palace rooms have been torn down in pieces in the fierce battle, and dismantled to become materials for camp fortifications.

And under the right Yintai Gate of the Imperial City,

For Tan Guochen, the right-wing general of the New Army, who is dressed in a full body and is in full swing, it is a moment of some kind of glory and the closest to achieving fame.

Even if the soldiers and horses on the eastern front of Beicheng were chaotic and lost, they could not have any direct impact on their next strategy and determination......

Because

Compared with the delay and twists and turns of the soldiers and horses on the eastern front, these soldiers and horses in the middle of the road did not spend too much effort and spirit in those cities of Nanguo under the supervision or "encouragement" of the army in front of the palace.

Without encountering too many twists and turns, he was able to transport some heavy equipment used for attacking the fortified positions along the central axis of Nanguo and across the two Tianjin Bridges, and quickly threw himself into suppressing and killing the imperial city attack.

As a result, the attack on the Imperial City was also quite clean and unobtrusive, and only the next day, there were already attempts to climb the walls, although they were soon driven down by the defenders.

In the afternoon of the same day, the right front of the new army concentrated most of the heavy equipment, and finally broke open the heavy city gate, and then pushed the torn city gate to the ground.

Therefore, with an order from the rear, these elite athletes from at least four military orders, who chose to move and jump, quickly cleared the obstacles on the ground and other obstacles behind the door, and rushed in one go.

When they fought with the resolute face of the enemy with an indomitable momentum, roaring with red eyes, and fighting with the resolute enemy in close combat, they fought back one after another to defeat the defenders who hurried to block it, and rushed out of the door to see the light of day again

But they were deflected by a certain slippery and greasy touch under their feet, and they were not tripped and rolled into pieces on both sides, or the trend was unabated and squeezed on the preset obstacles such as new trenches and horse rejections, and then they were squeezed and watched themselves being pierced on those sharp objects.

Only then did someone notice that the ground had been poured with a slippery, asphalt-like ointment. I couldn't help but scream nervously.

"Watch your ......"

"There is an ambush ......"

"Spread out ......"

It's a pity that these voices are buried in the cacophony of wild yelling and screaming. And in the team that has rushed to the front, there has also been some kind of disagreement spontaneously,

Someone was supporting their bodies back to back, hoping to climb each other and rush over. Others are desperately squeezing to both sides, trying to cut through obstacles and rush out of a way out.

Then they were crowded by the influx of more people, and they involuntarily continued to push forward, scolding and shouting loudly, and also stepping on the injured companions and corpses, pushing the obstacles to the ground.

Then, all of a sudden, the sounds stopped briefly, and countless dense fireworks trails rose from the city's head, instantly plunging them into a double hell of burning flames and rain of arrows.

The terrible and miserable wails of being in a desperate situation, one after another, and even overwhelmed the sound of the attack on the city for a while, so that those soldiers of the Southern Army who were struggling to climb the city could not help but hesitate and be shocked for a moment, and then the enemy, whose morale was greatly boosted, pushed back and cut down the city head and the ladder.

The smoke of the fire went up to the city gate, which was like opening some kind of key signal and switch,

In several directions of the imperial city, there was a sudden echo of some kind of loud noise, and with the heavy clanging sound from the inside out, from the multiple city gates, countless armored iron streams rushed out, and suddenly the besieging army that was on alert was rushed to pieces.

This is, in the direction of the imperial city, he actually sent troops to counterattack with all his might, which is not like the style of the Lingbao Gong in the Generalissimo's Mansion

Uncle Zhang, the coach in Shangyang Palace. and Yang Keshi, who came to restore his life, were a little surprised, and looked at this scene with covetousness

Then, he couldn't wait to say to a subordinate who had come to report back

"Is it because the Shuai Mansion has decided to take the initiative......

"No, it's the Great Regent who leads all the soldiers and soldiers to fight to the death with foreign enemies."

The general, who was out of breath, said with a flushed face and some fanatical expression.

Heyang Bridge, in front of Nanguan City, a battle has just ended with the figure of scattering away.

I don't know if it was because of the poor transmission of information, or because of different subordinates, the enemy troops gathered near the Heyang Bridge did not seem to have received the news of the previous defeat or defeat, and retreated or avoided our front.

Instead, they regrouped under the call of the trumpet, and made the wave impact in a number of formations, trying to win a decisive victory with our army on the spot.

The next result, naturally, was unsurprising, and was bombarded by the dense artillery array and layered shelling, which taught a hard lesson, and the basic truth of being a human being was to rashly impact the dense array and barrage with flesh and blood.

Now, a long-standing pillar of smoke has risen in the city of Nanguan, which is the defenders before the withdrawal, burning the equipment and bulky objects that cannot be taken away.

After meeting with the former army Wang Guibu who rushed out of Nanguan City, and simply obtained the corresponding coordinated command, the number of men and horses under my command increased to a little more than 24,000, which can be said to be more confident.

At this time, we were met by a messenger sent from the city of Luodu, who said in an unclear way that the military horses of the Eastern Front had encountered some kind of difficulty in the city, and that we needed to wait for us to go and join forces.

Of course, I was not so easy to fool, but I was slightly threatened, and after the question of the probability of the messenger's disappearance in the war, the other party was completely convinced, and told everything he knew about the situation.

Only then did I know that after we were far away from the battlefield, there was still such a series of twists and turns, and now all the people in the city have suffered such difficulties and difficulties.

After a short military discussion, it was decided to go all out to help Shangdongmen, on the one hand, because of the basic truth and overall situation, and on the other hand, from a private standpoint, is there still a chance to return to Luodu City? , I had already given up in my heart, and I couldn't help but be a little agitated.

It's a pity that the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny,

When we approached the Upper East Gate, we were stunned to see the city gate wide open and a group of people fleeing outward.

Subsequently, from the intercepted deserters, they got the news that the friendly forces in the city had been suddenly defeated, that they had completely lost the command of the Chinese army, and that all kinds of dragons were leaderless.
