Seeing that the situation in the city was unfavorable, Luo Dingyuan dared to be sloppy, and hurriedly ordered: "Luo Qing, immediately pull the reserve team up to two thousand." No, pull them all up and drive Zhao Jun down. ”

Luo Qing frowned and said: "General, the reserves are used at once, if there is anything bad about it, then we will have no back." In addition, the Zhao army is not a whole army, so we can't do without arrangements. ”

Luo Dingyuan said in a condensed voice: "How can I not know what you say? It was already evening, and it was not far from dark, and the whole army was fighting, and if the Zhao army could be repulsed, today's battle would be over. But if the stalemate lasts too long, the Zhao army may fight at night, which is very bad for us. ”

Luo Dingyuan knew very well that among the defenders, in addition to the soldiers, the rest of the recruits and young and strong people were only holding on now, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to their side.

The Zhao army relied on the corner of the city wall to gradually expand its range on the city wall and cover the subsequent soldiers to enter the city. As soon as the nearby defenders came into contact with the Zhao soldiers who had ascended the city, many of the soldiers panicked, and many of the new soldiers of the defenders did not even see what the enemy looked like, and their heads had been cut off by the horizontal knives and iron axes of the Zhao army's siege warriors, or their stomachs and chests were shot by the arrows and crossbows of the Zhao soldiers.

The siege soldiers are naturally not ordinary foot soldiers, these siege soldiers are all warriors. Some of them were also prisoners on death row in various parts of Xiyongzhou, and the Zhao army exchanged their exploits for the destruction of the city in exchange for their pardon, making them fight for their lives, money, and wealth.

Therefore, this small battle queue composed of more than ten days or dozens of people rushed back and forth in the ranks of the defenders, invincible, and the defenders shouted loudly, not only failed to defeat the Zhao soldiers who climbed the city, but on the contrary, let the other party occupy more and more territory.

Luo Dingyuan arranged thousands of reserves to fight on the city wall, wanting them to cooperate with the defenders to drive the Zhao army down. Although his idea is good, the strategy he has set is also correct. However, his reserve is not only the soldiers of the Han army under his command, but also some new soldiers. The reason why this is so is also because the city of Chang'an is too large, and the reinforcements of the Han army under its direct jurisdiction are not enough to be responsible for the four gates of the guard and the reserves.

Therefore, when thousands of reserves were thrown into the city wall, and 2,000 of them went straight to the place where the Zhao army landed to meet the Zhao army, the situation not only did not improve, but some of them got worse.

Some of these newly joined soldiers naturally moved forward bravely and prepared to fight against Zhao's soldiers. However, there were still some people who saw the combat situation of Zhao's sergeants and soldiers, and they immediately panicked and had no fighting spirit at all. The officers and men of the Zhao army, who had already landed, quickly formed a combat team, shouted and rushed into the dense group of enemies, fiercely brandished swords and guns to frantically slash and stab, and specially picked and killed the officers of the Han army and wounded those recruits.

As a result, needless to say, when the officer was killed, and the robes around him were in a terrible roar, these Zhao soldiers were all scattered, and they escaped faster than one another, and those old soldiers who were reinforced by the Han army also hated it, but they couldn't do anything about it, so they could only watch them scatter the entire army formation and be killed by the Zhao army from behind. Not only that, but it also had a very bad impact on the city walls, causing the defenders in other places to begin to retreat.

"Uh...... Damn it! Seeing that these recruits not only failed to change the unfavorable situation, but even made the situation worse and worse, Luo Dingyuan's face was gloomy and about to drip, and he couldn't help but scold angrily.

"General, didn't you notice? Are these retreating soldiers not only new to the city, but also some of the old soldiers? These should all be people who are related to the big clans in the city. Lin Shucheng, who was beside Luo Dingyuan, said lightly.

"The big people in the city? How dare they? Luo Dingyuan's teeth creaked.

"General, I don't know if you dare, but I'm more worried about whether the new pawns on the city wall and the soldiers of the original Chang'an family will withdraw directly because of these big clans."

"You can rest assured, General Ben has already dismantled and reorganized your army of the original Chang'an family, and even if they have problems, it will be difficult for them to play a big role."

Listening to Luo Dingyuan's words, Lin Shucheng did not have a trace of relaxation, but his face was full of worry.

Xue Ran, a partial general under Luo Dingyuan, saw that the recruits in the city began to retreat before they could fight, so naturally they couldn't sit idly by. Besides, he has an impatient personality, and when he treats this situation, he naturally can't see it at all.

"A bunch of idiots, what to run? Above. Drive Zhao Jun down for me. Can you outrun Zhao Jun's pursuit? Can you outrun the Inspector of the Overseer's Warband? Whoever dares to escape again will be killed! Xue Ran hurriedly took his personal guards to intercept near the head of the city where Zhao Jun appeared, preventing those scattered soldiers from escaping.

"Brothers, kill me! They don't want to give us a way to live! They are from Hanzhong, not to mention that they killed several big clans in our city, and they are ready to let us fight to the death with the Zhao army! Kill him for me, he is the mastermind of destroying the eight clans in the north of the city! The retreating soldiers met Xue Ran, and after Xue Ran shouted angrily, these soldiers did not reflexively fight as he expected, but rushed directly to kill him, the general.

"Bold! You are looking for death! Seeing this, Xue Ran was furious and roared, "Come on, kill them all!" ”

"Brothers, kill! The Hanzhong army wants to send the Chang'an army to death! The Hanzhong army wants to send the people of Chang'an to death! Brothers, kill these Hanzhong bastards for me! In the midst of the rout, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

Not only here, but also in other places, such shouts have been heard one after another. At the same time, in many places in the city, some soldiers of the first series of Chang'an suddenly attacked the soldiers of the first series of Hanzhong around them and carried out surprise attacks.

"You ...... Damn you! Seeing that there was chaos above the city, and seeing that these new soldiers dared to rush to kill him, Xue Ran's face was so blue that he couldn't even finish his words.

When the Zhao army attacked the city, these people first began to start civil strife. Some of them naturally deliberately went to these Hanzhong officers to kill them, and the rest of the recruits and routs were all driven by these chaotic troops. These people are naturally the result of the detailed actions of the various divisions of the Zhao army arranged in the city earlier.

Xue Ran was besieged by hundreds of chaotic troops and fell into the encirclement. Although Xue Ran was accompanied by personal guards, his combat power was extraordinary. However, after these routs were agitated, more and more. It made Xue Ran feel very bad.

"It's the general, you are so bold that you dare to attack the general? Brothers, kill me and support General Xue! In the midst of the chaos, a group of soldiers from the Hanzhong family rushed out of the rear and went straight to the battlefield.

Because they were wearing the armor of a series of soldiers in Hanzhong, Xue Ran and his guards did not pay special attention to them. But after these soldiers rushed out of the rear of Xue Ran's department, they did not assist Xue Ran in counterattacking the rebels, but directly attacked Xue Ran and his personal guards. These soldiers were all old soldiers, Xue Ran suffered from the enemy on his back, and after holding on for a while, he died on the spot.

What makes people feel strange is that among these defeated soldiers, under the order of the officers, they did not take action against this group of Hanzhong soldiers who killed Xue Ran for some reason. In addition, the heads of both sides glanced at each other and rushed to the battlefield.

Although the soldiers below are not clear, those Chang'an recruits are very clear, these people are all people planted by the Zhao army, and they all entered the city with the Xianyang rout, mixed in the army, and participated in the action.

It was also an accident that Xue Ran would appear in the chaos with his own soldiers. Little did he know that the situation in the city would become so unpredictable. Ben went forward to intercept the routs, only to lose their lives.

Xue Ran died, because it was in the melee, except for a few people who knew that he was killed by the Han sergeant, the rest thought that he died in the chaos. It would be nothing if it was just his body dead, but as soon as Xue Ran died like this, the area he was in charge of was suddenly leaderless, and of course, now the insects were leaderless.

"The general is dead! The general is dead...... Run! I don't know who exclaimed, which suddenly made the soldiers of the Han army who were still desperately resisting the Zhao army lose their fighting spirit, collapsed, and fled in all directions.

When these soldiers retreated, the Zhao army, which was climbing along the ladder, did not stop, but quickly climbed the city wall, formed a team, desperately moved forward, picked the most dense place to charge, and desperately disrupted the ranks of the Han army.

"What? Xue Ran is dead? When Luo Dingyuan heard the news, he immediately stood on the spot, "How did he die?" He was a general of the First Army, how could he die so easily? What about his personal guards? What about his soldiers? Could it be that Zhao Jun could rush to his eyes? Luo Dingyuan roared angrily.

Xue Ran is one of the four generals under his command, one of whom has been killed in the land of Xianyang, and another one has been killed, and the remaining two are also in charge of commanding and supervising the battle at other city gates. These four generals are all old brothers who have been fighting with him for many years, and now they are dying in front of their eyes.

The soldier who reported the news hurriedly explained the situation in detail, which made Luo Dingyuan a little difficult to accept.

"Rebel against the new pawns? Someone in the army is deliberately causing trouble? Luo Dingyuan held the hilt of the sword in his hand with a creaky sound, he didn't expect that they did not die in the hands of Zhao Jun, but in his own hands.

"Hateful! Hateful! Luo Dingyuan immediately understood that the rebellious army in the city must have something to do with the big clans in the city. If it's just the defenders who break up, that's normal. However, if these routs attack the main general, this is definitely not a normal behavior, and someone must organize it. If you think about the shouts on the city wall, calling for the soldiers of the Chang'an family, the recruits of Chang'an, and the young men of the people to fight against the Hanzhong family, it is clear that this must be the action of the big clan organization in the city.

"General! Now is not the time to get angry, we should immediately kill the rebels who are rebelling on the city wall, and in addition, immediately organize people to counterattack the Zhao army, otherwise, once the Zhao army has gained a foothold on the city wall, it will be difficult for us to suppress them. Lin Shucheng saw that Luo Dingyuan's face was uncertain, and he scolded angrily, so he hurriedly frowned and said.

Luo Dingyuan said astringently: "Now, can we still hold on to the city wall?" It is not known how many of these recruits were bought by the big clans in the city. The inside should be combined with the outside, and it is difficult to stick to this city! ”

Luo Qing said in a deep voice: "General, even if the big clans in the city are planted with people, there will definitely not be too many, otherwise, the news will definitely leak during the half month of training recruits." As long as we immediately kill these rebels, sort out the situation, and appease these soldiers, we can let them continue to fight back. In addition, the materials for defending the city on the city wall are relatively sufficient, as long as they are united, it is not a problem to repel the Zhao army. ”

I have to say that Luo Dingyuan still has two brushes, and under the persuasion of Luo Qing and Lin Shucheng, he immediately arranged for Luo Qing and Lin Shucheng to come forward to clear the rebellious army, appease the soldiers, and organize them to continue to resist the Zhao army. Lin Shucheng and Luo Qing respectively represented the first series of soldiers in Chang'an and the first line of Hanzhong, and when they came out, they naturally quickly made the messy city wall standardized, and most of the routs who were making trouble in front were also killed. All of a sudden, the defenders above the city were united.

In this way, it was much more difficult for the Zhao army to attack the city, although the Zhao army occupied a small area in both places. However, they were also surrounded by defenders. Luo Dingyuan even asked a series of soldiers of the Hanzhong reinforcements to take the initiative to meet the battle in front of him, so as to inspire other defenders.

Even Luo Dingyuan personally rushed to the two places to cheer up the counterattack soldiers. Since then, the Zhao army's siege of the city has not gone smoothly, the city wall is like a rain of arrows, ash bottles and wood, and the fire oil torches are thrown frantically like money, and the defenders' desperate counterattack also makes the Zhao army lose a corner occupied at the head of the city.

The Zhao army suffered heavy casualties, but they were still unable to expand the results of the battle, and the anxious generals outside the city walked back and forth. Even Zhao Xun was also very anxious, but on the surface he was quiet, and once came to the front line to boost morale, the morale of the Zhao army was aroused, the military prestige was greatly inspired, and once rushed to the city wall, although in the end the defenders were driven down the city wall by crowd tactics, but it also greatly encouraged the morale of the siege, and also made the defenders timid. What's more, more veterans died at the hands of Zhao soldiers, making the counterattack of the city wall weaker and weaker.

The sunset gradually sets, the night is gradually coming, but the siege battle of the Zhao army is still continuing, hundreds of Zhao soldiers pounced on the Chang'an city wall one after another, the attacking queue is as turbulent as the sea waves, hundreds of flying ladders continue to set up the city wall, the Zhao army soldiers who are all bloodstained and smoked traces step on the ladder and rush up the Chang'an city wall endlessly, and fall from the height screaming from time to time; The huge ladder truck struggled through the dense crowd, approaching the city wall with dense rockets and torches, one after another the ladder caught fire and burned, and the soldiers of the Zhao army on the ladder ran to avoid the fire, and the battle was so fierce that it could not be described with pen and ink.

However, one thing has not changed, that is, the Zhao army has occupied three strongholds at the head of the city, which has ensured that the soldiers will continue to climb the ladder.

"Damn! Why haven't the big clans in the city moved? The casualties are already high, and the time has come! Zhao Xunxin, whose face remained unchanged, was eager. If it weren't for the fact that the city didn't send a signal that the situation had changed, Zhao Xun would have doubted whether the city had been discovered by Lin Shucheng, Luo Dingyuan and others. Maybe the troops have been withdrawn back to the camp now, and they will attack again in the next day.

Zhao Xun did not withdraw his troops, and Luo Dingyuan and others were also anxious. After all, they didn't believe that Zhao Xun would start a night battle on the first day. Luo Dingyuan was convinced that the Zhao army would soon withdraw, as long as they could hold on.

However, before he waited for the news of the withdrawal of the Zhao army, he first waited for the news of the great changes in the city. Thousands of people in the city, with the support and leadership of the big clans in the city, began to rush towards the city gate.

No, it was the people of the city who rushed to kill them. They were all unqualified or dismissed from training when the city screened recruits. But at this moment, they were all armed and charged towards the defenders near the city gate.

For Luo Dingyuan, if two or three thousand people without armor are two or three thousand soldiers rushing to kill, he will not be too afraid. However, the people rushed to kill, and the effect was simply terrifying to him. Even Lin Shucheng was also pale about this.

These people rushed to kill, and the first people to be affected were not others, but the new pawns and people on the city wall. In addition to the city walls, there were also new soldiers and wounded soldiers who carried supplies for the defenders under the city, and they all received the influence of these people and began to attack the Han army defending the city for their own sake.

"The Zhao army has entered the city, they are attacking our rear!"

"The big clans and people in the city have descended to Zhao, and the new pawns have also descended to Zhao, run!"

Above the city, all kinds of shouts came and went. In addition, some Zhao sergeants who were mixed into the Han army moved in from it, which immediately made the defenders chaotic. After all, no one can turn a blind eye to the swords and guns that may be slashed at any time around them. In this tense situation, I don't know who took the lead, and the defenders on the city walls began to slash each other.

The Zhao army outside the city naturally saw these situations, and immediately the drums beat rapidly, and the speed of the soldiers' attack became even more rapid. I don't know who it is, it's not the new recruits of the defenders, or the sergeant of Zhao, who suddenly cut down the commander's banner in the center of the city tower on the head of the city and threw it off the city wall. Because Luo Dingyuan went everywhere in person, the handsome flag fell, and he himself was not on the spot, which immediately made the morale of the defenders who were still resisting collapse, screaming and screaming and scattering in all directions, and the chaos was inextricable.

"Do it! It's great that the brothers in the city and the big clans have done it! Zhao Xun, Situ Liang and others, who were waiting outside the city, were overjoyed. Zhao Xun even yelled: "Beat the drums, general attack!" In one go, take Chang'an City for me, and I will feast in Chang'an City tonight! ”
