On that day, after Jiang Sheng went to persuade Emperor Xian to evacuate and was refused, he began to organize the defense of Chang'an City, and the people in the city organized a volunteer army of 5,000 people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoJiang Sheng was based on the 3,000 Northern Army left behind, and carried out basic tactical skills training according to the special training methods of later generations.

Jiang Sheng personally took more than 5,000 people out of the city to run, the people of Chang'an were eye-opening, and there were also good people who spontaneously participated in the running training, after nearly half a month of training, the volunteers already had basic combat skills, and now the Xiliang army is in the city, just in handy.

While the defenders were carrying out intensive training, the carpenter and blacksmith shops around Chang'an were also working overtime. Jiang Sheng drew out the drawings of the crossbow and trebuchet guarding the city, and then handed over each part to different locations for processing to prevent someone from stealing the technology.

Although there are not many accessories collected in the city now, it is better to assemble dozens of crossbows and hundreds of trebuchets than nothing.

Jiang Sheng personally went to the west tower of Chang'an to command the defensive operation, and the crossbows and trebuchets were also moved to the city, and the people in the city took the initiative to move a large number of crossbow arrows and stone bullets to the city.

Jiang Sheng played a great role in the propaganda of the people, and the people also understood that if the Xiliang army broke through Chang'an, it would be the people who would suffer, so they actively mobilized to help defend the city.

The Xiliang army was divided into four routes, attacking at the same time from the east, west, south and north gates of Chang'an, thousands of soldiers flocked to the city, hundreds of ladders were erected on the head of the city, and the young and strong people operated crossbows and trebuchets to shoot the enemy's middle and rear formations, while the northern army and the volunteers were responsible for killing the Xiliang soldiers who forcibly landed in the city.

The battle of Chang'an City was unprecedentedly fierce, the Xiliang army was not afraid of death, stepping on the corpses and blood of their comrades to attack the city head one after another, the defenders poured hot tung oil from the city head, and the soldiers who had just attacked the city head were scalded by the hot oil, and the smell of burning skin carried the smell of meat to fill the city head.

The main force of the Xiliang Army of the Chinese army ushered in the rain of arrows in the sky, and the destructive power of the thick crossbow arrows was huge, nailing the corpses of more than 1,000 Xiliang soldiers to the ground, the scene was unbearable, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to avoid the crossbow arrows were smashed by the stone bullets that fell from the sky and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Seeing the heavy losses, Li Wei of the West Gate first withdrew his troops from Mingjin, and then the Fan Chou army at the East Gate retreated and attacked, and the two armies of Guo Yan and Zhang Ji were still desperately attacking, Jiang Sheng personally came to the North Gate and commanded the counterattack against Guo Yan's army.

Jiang Sheng ordered the defenders to listen to the fire of crossbow arrows and stone bullets, but to lie down under the battlements with a simple knife, and when the enemy attacked the city, they suddenly rose up and slashed together.

This kind of uniform fighting is quite effective, hundreds of people were cut down in a few seconds, after attacking twice, Guo Yan felt bad, it was people who went up, and people who came down with heads and headless torsos, but this kind of slaughterhouse-like miserable situation was already chilling, and the morale could be imagined, so he also withdrew.

Zhang Ji could hear the movement, the battle of Sanmen had stopped, and he was no longer fat, and he was also Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The first full-scale siege of the Western Liang Army ended in failure, and the defenders of Chang'an also paid the price of nearly 2,000 casualties, but fortunately, most of them were volunteers, and they did not hurt the foundation of the Northern Army.

As soon as the battle stopped, Jiang Sheng arranged for the fighters to take turns to rest, he didn't know how often the siege was, so he had to cherish all the time to ensure the rest of the soldiers, while the people took advantage of the truce to transfer supplies to the city.

Wang Yun went to the city to check the situation of defending the city, and was also greatly shocked, the people of the whole city mobilized to help defend the city, and the streets were full of people in a hurry, carrying arrows, stone bullets, dry food and other materials, either carrying or carrying, and even the women moved.

Wang Yun reported this matter to Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian was also deeply moved, so he asked Wang Yun to convene the ministers of the court and mobilize them to participate in the defense of the city.

Everyone still understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, so Wang Yun took the lead in sending 160 people, and the rest of the officials who lived in the city also sent families ranging from 10 to 200 people to help.

Soon, the second round of attacks of the Xiliang army came up again, this time it was different from the first attack, this time it was a concentrated onslaught, the west gate was the attack point selected by Jia Xu, and the troops besieging the city were not like the previous intensive charge, but were divided into dozens of roads, attacking the west city wall of Chang'an together.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng felt that there was no need to waste resources, so he ordered the defenders to prepare with their swords, and the defenders of the other three city walls were also divided into half to fill the west city wall.

Seeing that the crossbow arrows and stone projectiles at the head of the city were no longer fired, Guo Yan said: "The defenders must be lying in ambush behind the battlements, and our troops have suffered greatly!" ”

Jia Xu said: "There is no other way but to let the back hurry up and keep up, so that the defenders can't slash and kill!" ”

Li Dao ordered the march to the beat of drums, and ordered all parts to attack and ascend the city in a dense manner.

The tung oil and rolling stones in Chang'an City are insufficient, and they have been exhausted after supporting for two quarters of an hour, and the Xiliang army has not been able to capture the city after paying more than 20,000 casualties, and the northern army in the city is only less than 1,000 people, and the volunteers have lost more than half.

Both armies have reached the point where they have run out of oil and dried up, and as long as Li Daojun works harder, he can take the western city wall, but the time has come to hone his will, and the Xiliang army can't stand it and retreats again.

Jiang Sheng saw that it was hopeless to defend the city, so he sent someone to ask Emperor Xian to go out of the city to hide, Wang Yun planned to wait for it to get dark before quietly going out of the city, Jiang Sheng thought about it, and did not force it again, hoping that the Xiliang army would not attack again for the time being.

The Xiliang army lost nearly 40,000 people in two sieges, and the corpses under the city of Chang'an were piled up, and the blood flowed like a river, and some of the corpses watered by tung oil were still burning, emitting a pungent smell.

The people who sent supplies to the city saw that Jiang Sheng was covered with blood, and his hair was scattered, and the high position of the etheric lieutenant was still on the front line to kill the enemy, and they were greatly shaken, and they went back to pass ten or ten to hundred, and the people praised Jiang Sheng's merits, and more people joined the city defense team one after another, among which there were many women, it turned out that Diao Chan was mobilized in the city, and those strong women were encouraged to participate in the work of defending the city.

Finally stayed up until nightfall, Jiang Sheng was still shuttling around the city, the soldiers were resting in turn, Jiang Sheng was still working, the people in the city sent food and drink, Jiang Sheng asked the soldiers to eat first, but he only took two nests and ate them with cold water.

In this way, the soldiers of the defenders were moved, and the people of the city were also moved, and the whole city was mobilized, and some of the people demolished their houses and sent bricks and stones to the head of the city to be used as stone rolling logs.

Jiang Sheng was also moved by the people, the city is really the same as the army and the people, and they share the same hatred, but history is not so easy to change, although the people are different, but things still happen according to the footsteps of history.
