Chapter 277: The Battle of Chang'an (3)
Chang'an City at night looks silent, and the Chang'an City Wall like the Shura Slaughterhouse during the day looks so solemn except for the smell of blood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The captain guarding the city saw that Jiang Sheng had been running around and was tired, so he persuaded: "Tai Lieutenant, you have also fought for a day, it is better to go down and rest, there are us in the city." ”
The surrounding soldiers also echoed and persuaded Jiang Sheng to go down and rest.
Jiang Sheng said: "Tonight is the hardest, we must make sure that the emperor leaves safely!" At the moment of the great enemy, I can't be negligent, I can still hold on! ”
Jiang Sichai and Jiang Wuchai also followed Jiang Sheng to kill the enemy in the city during the day, at this time Jiang Sanchai and Jiang Liuchai came to the city, Jiang Sheng ordered the fourth and fifth hairpins to rest first, but they did not listen to the arrangement.
"The general is still at the head of the city, how can we ignore the general?"
"Xiao San and Xiao Liu are here, you are responsible for my safety, how can you all be tired? Make sure both of them are in good shape! Go and rest! ”
Seeing that Jiang Sheng said seriously, the two went back to the Taiwei Mansion to rest, Diao Chan had already prepared dinner in the mansion, and accompanied the two hairpins to rest after eating.
Diao Chan was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and she looked tired, during the day she showed up, and mobilized young and strong women from house to house to take up arms to defend Chang'an, and at night she was also responsible for the food of the Taiwei Mansion, she was originally a singer, and now she will not mention the old business after being with Jiang Sheng, and she has become a housewife at this time, who almost never cooks.
The moonlight was hazy, and the city of Chang'an was as silent as death, and after a while, the moon was covered by a thin layer of clouds, and the night went dark.
Jiang Sheng leaned under the battlements, and was napping, when suddenly Jiang Sanchai exclaimed: "General, general!" There's a fire in the city! ”
Jiang Sheng was excited, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the fire, only to see thick smoke billowing and flames soaring into the sky.
The lieutenant beside him hurriedly said to Jiang Sheng: "Captain, do you want to organize someone to put out the fire?" ”
Jiang Sheng said: "No! This is the enemy wreaking havoc! Quickly inform all the soldiers defending the city that they must not leave their posts without permission! The enemy army is likely to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city! ”
The lieutenant hurriedly sent people to travel around to ensure that all the soldiers defending the city were in place. Sure enough, the shouts of the Xiliang army came from far and near, countless torches illuminated the city of Chang'an, and thousands of Xiliang soldiers carried the ladder to attack the city wall.
Jiang Sheng made people beat the drum to warn, and the soldiers who took turns resting at the head of the city all woke up and waited for the battle, and the Xiliang soldiers who attacked the city were quickly killed by the Pu Dao array, and the screams were endless, and the Xiliang army seemed to be crazy, attacking the city at any cost, this weather is really not suitable for attacking the city!
Jiang Sheng felt that the strategy of the Xiliang army could not be so simple, put a few fires in the city, and start desperately attacking the city?
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he ordered several soldiers around him to go separately to inform the volunteers guarding the city gates everywhere that they must watch the city gates and kill all suspicious people.
There are many fire points in the city, large areas of private houses are connected, and they spread quickly, Wang Yun is organizing the officials and people of the city to extinguish the fire, but Jiang Sheng can't care about these at all, running around the city, and directing to let go.
Jiang Sheng's judgment was right, arson and siege are both tricks, and the real killing move is at the city gate. In the name of fighting the fire, dozens of Dong Zhuo remnants went straight to the south gate of Chang'an City with buckets, and the people in the city were busy putting out the fires.
These people gathered from all about the south gate, and the volunteers guarding the city gate were a little vigilant when they saw these people gathered, and then the head of the city came down to tell the people who were paying attention to the city gate to come.
The soldier shouted: "The captain has an order, whoever approaches the city gate without permission will be killed!" ”
The volunteers guarding the city gate were immediately alert, the group of people gathered here was not a good type, and before the volunteers could act, these people suddenly attacked, and at first glance they were people who were good at assassination, and dozens of volunteers fell in a pool of blood in an instant.
Dong Zhuo Yu opened the city gate, and Fan Choujun, who had already been ambushed outside the city gate, rushed in, roaring and killing into the city.
When the defenders at the head of the city saw that the gates were wide open, they blew a hasty trumpet, which was a predetermined signal to blow the trumpet whenever there was a major problem.
Jiang Sheng heard this kind of horn coming from the south gate, and his heart fell into the bottomless pit, the south gate must have been breached, and the enemy army had already entered!
The lieutenant beside him asked, "Captain, what should I do?" ”
Jiang Sheng immediately made a decision and shouted: "Leave half of the people at the head of the city to block the enemy's landing on the city, and the rest of the people will follow me to the city to kill the enemy!" ”
There were originally patrolling southern troops in the city, but the strength of Fan Chou's army was too much, and those southern army guards were all killed, and some of the soldiers and horses sent by Zhang Ji firmly controlled the south gate, and the Xiliang army continued to rush into Chang'an City.
Fan Chou's army was divided into pieces, and a team of one or two hundred people began to clean up the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
After Jiang Sheng learned the news, he immediately ordered a team of 300 people from all departments, as long as they encountered the Xiliang Army, they must be annihilated!
The originally quiet Chang'an City staged a massacre again, Jiang Sheng led a team to the palace first, during the day, Jiang Sheng asked Wang Yun to escort Emperor Xian to evacuate, but Wang Yun planned to withdraw at night on the grounds that it was not safe during the day, but he did not expect Chang'an City to be broken in an instant, and Emperor Xian definitely did not withdraw.
Jiang Sheng asked Jiang Liuchai to look for Zhen Yan, and Zhen Yan was also looking for Jiang Sheng at the moment, both of them were wandering around the city, and it was difficult to meet for a while, Jiang Sheng didn't bring Tiangang Liang Silver Gun when he came to Chang'an, so he took an ordinary iron spear and started a street battle with people!
None of the Xiliang soldiers who met Jiang Sheng were spared, they were all killed, and a few Xiliang soldiers surrendered on their knees after being surrounded, Jiang Sheng was never soft, and he was killed.
After Jiang Sheng defeated more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers, Zhen Yan came panting.
"Zhen Yan, you quickly go and escort the emperor and Diao Chan out of Chang'an!"
"My lord! The enemy army is strong, Chang'an City can't hold it, hurry up and retreat!"
"If I withdraw, Chang'an City will really be finished! Don't be verbose, get to work! Jiang Sheng shouted, and as he was talking, another group of Xiliang soldiers came over, Jiang Sheng didn't give Zhen Yan a chance to speak, and waved an iron spear to meet him.
Zhen Yan gritted his teeth, turned around and ran, and ran directly to the Taiwei Mansion, Jiang Sichai and Wuchai were guarding the gate, Zhen Yan directly pushed the door and rushed in, Jiang Sichai's short sword had already crossed Zhen Yan's neck.
Zhen Yan shouted: "I'm Zhen Yan!" ”
Jiang Sichai hurriedly stopped and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Quick! Come with me! ”
"Leave? What about the generals? ”
"The captain is killing the enemy, and he can't get out, so let me escort you to leave first!"
"Little lady go with you, let's go help the general!" Jiang Wuchai turned around and ran into the house and dragged Diao Chan out.
Because Jiang Sheng's wife and concubine are undecided, Diao Chan is the latest to get started, so they call Diao Chan the little lady.
Diao Chan exclaimed: "Xianggong didn't come back, and I won't leave!" ”
Jiang Sichai was extremely decisive, knocked Diao Chan stunned with one palm, and said to Zhen Yan: "I'll leave it to you!" After speaking, he ran out with Jiang Wuchai.
