Chapter 343: Breaking Chang'an (1)
Liu Qi got Zhang Fei's promise, and his heart was full of joy, just waiting for the night of the next day, he had already led more than 100,000 troops under his command to the Luocheng Gate, staring at the dark and secluded city, waiting for Zhang Fei to raise fire on the city and cooperate with him to attack the city. top-point novels,
But this time Liu Qi waited for a long time, and felt that the time was about to pass, and then he saw a burst of light appear on the city, and soon after, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and the drawbridge was lowered. ”
"Thank you, I don't know who this general is?" Liu Qi nodded and asked with a smile.
"The last general is the left Sima Jin of the Hubu battalion under the command of General Zhang, and he is not injured." The general said without hesitation.
"Okay, Jin Sima, you have made a meritorious contribution to opening the city this time, I remember you, and when you break Chang'an, you will definitely be rewarded."
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Xu solemnly, and then led the army into the city gate.
When Jin Wushu saw Liu Qi leading the army into the city, a trace of coldness inadvertently flashed in his eyes, but he didn't notice that Jia Xu, the mastermind who had always been inseparable from Liu Qi, did not enter the city this time.
Jin Wuxian followed Liu Qi's army into the city, estimated that he had entered more than 20,000, and immediately took out a small horn from his arms and blew it whining.
It was the dead of night, and the sound of the horn alarmed half of the city, and by the way, several pigeons outside the city, which flapped their wings and flew into the inner city, but no one noticed their existence.
Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Jin Wuxian, what are you doing?" ”
As he spoke, he rushed over. Wielding Fang Tian's halberd is a thorn.
But when he heard this, Jin Wuxian laughed and said, "Liu Qi, do you really think that General Zhang will betray the lord?" Hehe, let's not hide it, just after your people returned, General Zhang reported the details to the lord, and this time the general was so cooperative. Mainly to get you into the city, Liu Qi, today you are besieged by our army, which will definitely make it difficult for you to fly. ”
As soon as Jin Wuxian's words fell, he saw a loud bang not far behind him, and a stone gate fell from the sky, blocking Liu Qi in the city.
It turned out that after years of research, Zhuge Liang actually built a stone gate in the gate cave of Chang'an City, called the Qianjin Gate. This gate is controlled by the soldiers at the head of the city with a winch, and in the event of an emergency, it can land this object to seal the city gate and prevent the enemy from entering.
When Liu Qi heard this, he shouted, came over on a horse, and lifted Fang Tian's halberd. stabbed Jin Wushu with a halberd, stabbing Jin Wushu to death on the spot. Then he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, now that the city gate is sealed, we have no way to live, so we have to fight for our lives and capture Chang'an City, so that everyone has a chance to live." Those who are not afraid of death come with loneliness. ”
Liu Qi's command is full of loyal and brave personal soldiers, and now he sees that he is in danger, who can not fight hard? Immediately, no one had the slightest hesitation, and immediately followed Liu Qi to the inner city to kill.
Zhuge Liang, who was ambushed at the head of the city, couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart. Because in this case, the general situation is to attack the city gate in order to take the road and go, but I didn't expect Liu Qi to do the opposite and attack the city directly, and he is really a master who loves to make dangerous moves.
However, Zhuge Liang was not worried, because Zhuge Liang had already built several more city gates in the outer city of Chang'an, leaving an urn-shaped square between the inner and outer cities, which was conducive to gathering here when sending troops in peacetime, and was conducive to trapping the invading enemy troops here.
Now Liu Qi's 20,000 army has entered the city gate, in fact, it is only the outer city gate, if you want to enter the city, you still need to attack the city gate of the urn city, but now Zhuge Liang has already ambushed the crossbow soldiers on the surrounding city walls, even if Liu Qi is the most elite Praetorian Guard and Xiao Guard, it is not so easy to attack.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that there were crossbows poking out on the three city walls, revealing cold and faint crossbow arrows, just waiting for an order, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows would shoot at Liu Qi's army, turning them into hedgehogs.
Zhuge Liang sneered, and said secretly: "Liu Qi, Liu Qi, you didn't expect it, right?" Although Zhang Fei really wants to help you, but he is powerless, because he has already been intoxicated by the lord who drugged in the wine, and now he is in a cold dungeon, hehe, Zhang Fei and my third brother are friends, I don't know the truth? In fact, I deliberately sent the third brother to make friends with Zhang Fei, and then spy on the intelligence in the army, this time Su Ze went to your army to persuade him to surrender, how could I not know such a big thing? Therefore, I asked the third brother to drink at Zhang Fei's place after Su Ze left, took the opportunity to find out the secret, and then planned the plan, laid an ambush in the city, and taught you a lesson. ”
"If Liu Qi can be shot to death this time, the Chu army will definitely be in chaos for power and profit, and at that time we can easily subdue Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and even further occupy Hanzhong and Bashu, hehe, this time it is really an unexpected gain."
Although Zhuge Liang was proud in his heart, he still didn't dare to be careless, because he knew that Liu Qi was a person who was good at creating miracles, and he couldn't capsize in the gutter, but he escaped from Chang'an.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang, who thought about it, immediately ordered all the crossbow troops to attack immediately. I could only hear the sound of breaking through the air, and tens of thousands of crossbow arrows shot down the city like flying locusts.
But he didn't expect that in the short time he was delayed because of excitement, Liu Qi's army had already concentrated at the inner city gate in the north, and the crossbow arrows on the southernmost city wall did not cause much damage to Liu Qi's army because of the range, and only caused hundreds of casualties.
And because of the previous miscalculation, Zhuge Liang concentrated more than two-thirds of the crossbow soldiers on the south city wall, attacking 10,000 people, and the east, west and north sides added up to only 5,000 people, and only more than 1,000 people were deployed on the north urn city wall that could really cause damage to the enemy, although the power of the crossbow was very strong, but because the enemy prepared a shield, and then the soldiers in the front row took the body as a shield, the result only caused three or four hundred casualties in the front row.
Zhuge Liang didn't expect that his careful planning would only bring four or five hundred casualties, and he couldn't help but be very dissatisfied in his heart, and immediately ordered the army to move to the northern city wall.
But what I didn't expect was that I saw those soldiers under Liu Qi take out their bows and crossbows and attack the enemy troops on the wall of the urn city in the north.
At this moment, fifteen or sixteen black-clothed people suddenly appeared under the gate of the inner city, and these people took advantage of the cover of night to quietly come to the city gate, and then suddenly launched a sneak attack on more than a dozen Qin soldiers guarding the city gate.
These dozens of black-clothed people are Liu Qi's meticulous work in the shops in Chang'an City, these people are only responsible for spying on intelligence in the name of business on weekdays, and they are usually scattered, but today because they got the news that Liu Qi was about to attack the city, they gathered together, so as to be able to plan Liu Qi to break through the city. Not long ago, I suddenly received a message from Liu Qi from the flying pigeon, asking them to quickly go to the south gate to answer, kill the soldiers guarding the gate, and open the inner city gate.
Seeing that these details were orders from the lord, he immediately took his weapons and went to the city gate to answer them.
Because the soldiers on the city wall are busy dealing with Liu Qi's army in the outer city, there are only a dozen Qin army soldiers guarding the gate in the inner city, and these dozen soldiers are now attracted by the battle outside the city gate, and they are listening to the screams of the Chu army through the city gate. But there was no movement at the city gate.
Then a sergeant was heard shouting: "You, you see, are our men, who have been assassinated by several unknown men. ”
Everyone hurriedly turned back, but saw that fifteen or sixteen night walkers were returning to attack the robes beside them, and they couldn't help but be furious, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" Dare to assassinate officers and soldiers! Are you tired of living? ”
But the men ignored them and continued to slaughter with their knives, and the sergeants realized. These people were probably the Chu army who was responsible for responding, so they each took out their blades and fought against the enemy.
But where did they think of it? The enemy army has the sharpest Su iron knife in the Chu army, and his skills are not weak, and now he is desperate to meet Liu Qi, and he is already desperate, so they are all like crazy, wielding knives and slaughtering the enemy army, the Qin army can't resist at all, and they are killed one after another before they even hold on to half a pillar of incense.
After killing all the soldiers defending the city, these meticulous works immediately opened the city gate, and saw Liu Qi leading a large army into the inner city like a tide.
"This, what's going on? How did Liu Qi's army enter the inner city? Who opened the gates? Zhuge Liang looked incredulous, and hurriedly asked strangely.
The generals under his command also looked at each other, and even Zhuge Liang didn't know the reason, and they naturally didn't know.
"Chase, chase quickly, and at the same time inform the white-eared soldiers in Miyagi to prepare for battle." Zhuge Liang saw Liu Qi's army enter the inner city, and he was immediately shocked, because not far from the Luocheng Gate is Mingguang Palace, which is where the families of civil and military ministers are located, once it is attacked by Liu Qi's army, it will definitely have an extremely bad impact.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sergeant's report: "Shang Shuling, something is wrong, the Qin army has concentrated tens of thousands of people to storm the dam gate in the west of the city, because Shang Shuling has removed the crossbowmen to defend the Luo City Gate, the defense there is empty, and the Chu army has poured in, and now it has entered the Changle Palace, rescued Zhang Fei, and is engaged in a battle with the defenders in the palace." ”
"What?" After Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold, his face was pale, his throat was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a wow. (To be continued......)
