The city gate leader blocked a group of yellow gates at the gate. "Bold, now that you have seen the token and dare to disobey, don't you all want to live?" A group of yellow gates in the palace were gathering around the city gate, and scolded the officers and soldiers who were smiling at the city guards.
Among the officers and soldiers guarding the city, the military academy is about thirty or forty years old, with a smile on his face, not at all disturbed by the domineering tone of the Yellow Gate, still respectful and polite: "I said that my lords, there are people outside the city who are making trouble, and the city gate cannot be opened at this juncture, and tonight the Shangguan gave a death order, there is no Wen Hou's edict, no one is allowed to go out of the city, the small one really has no way, or you old people rest here for a while, the little one will send someone to report to the wait, as long as his old man gives an order, There is no disobedience, the small one leads the stirrup to the nobles, and sends the big guy out of the city, do you think it will be successful? ”
"Where's the money? Let him come to me. "Someone in the Yellow Gate has spoken, and the person who wants to see him by name is the city gate leader.
"Money pass? What money? The military academy looked surprised and asked in a daze.
"Pretend to be confused, isn't Qian Tong your superior? Specifically responsible for guarding this city gate? "Huangmen is not laughed at by this military school, nor is he angry.
"Hey, my lord, don't you know, the generals guarding the city gate are changed every day, and they come in turn, when the villain comes, he takes over General Wu's class, and tomorrow the villain should change the guard, as for who will take over, the villain doesn't know. So, the money you are talking about, the villain really doesn't know. The military academy was not in a hurry, not impatient, tepid, and just replied with a smile on his face.
Many Yellow Gates actually knew in their hearts that this gate would definitely not be able to open tonight. However, the current situation between the DPRK and China is becoming increasingly tense, and it is necessary to open this gate. Listening to the sound of bows and crossbows above the city, and the roaring of horses and neighing of people outside the city, everyone's eyes looked at a young man wearing a cloak and his face was covered by a hood, as if they were waiting for him to come up with an idea. The man waved his hand to the city gate leader and said, "Okay, knowing that you are faithful, we will not be difficult for you, you can go." ”
After the city gate was taken away, the first person in the yellow gate said eagerly: "Master, you have to hurry up and make up your mind, the prince and they are just outside the city gate, as long as the city gate is opened, we will win." If it drags on, the consequences can be unimaginable. ”
The young man thought for a moment, as if he had made a lot of determination, gritted his teeth and said: "This city gate has been temporarily replaced, maybe Wen Yang has already noticed it, but there is no turning back arrow when he opens the bow, and he can't do it in the dark, so let's come with a sword and a gun, point out everyone, and join forces with several princes outside the city to take this city gate together." ”
When the army of the vassal king outside the city receded like a tide, all the soldiers guarding the city walls breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, bursts of screams and fighting sounded, leaving everyone stunned. Because the enemy is outside the city walls, and these voices are clearly coming from inside the city, to be precise, at the gates of the city below the city walls. Many unknown and inexplicable soldiers gathered around the onlookers, trying to figure out what was going on.
"The prince is here, pass the will of long live, open the city gate, and those who resist the decree will not be killed........ "A group of thousands of people, dressed in the clothes of palace guards, fully armed, surrounded by a young man wearing a crown court dress and a golden crown, rushed to the city gate, and shouted loudly. Caught the defenders of the city gate by surprise.
Those who didn't have time to dodge were immediately cut down to the ground, and the remaining city gate guards watched these people rampage, but they didn't dare to fight, but it was the prince who rushed to the front, in case he accidentally injured him, he would be punished by the nine clans must be appropriate. Therefore, no one dares to grab its edge and avoid it. In this way, these people have a sense of invincible expansion. Seeing that he was about to rush to the city gate, he was about to rush to the winch.
The moat suspension bridge of Luoyang City is very strong and heavy, because it is the defense facilities of the capital, it is naturally not comparable to the general city, even if it is equipped with a winch, it takes five or six strong men to work together to put down or raise the suspension bridge, once the suspension bridge is put down, and then open the city gate, the door of Luoyang is naturally wide open. Therefore, the winch and the city gate were also guarded by hundreds of soldiers, and when the two armies were fighting, it was specially used to prevent spies from carrying out a surprise attack from the inside, and to cooperate with the siege troops outside to open the city gate.
Seeing that the other party's thousands of troops were pouring over like a tide, the city gate leader who was still smiling and nodding his head just now seemed to be a different person, his face was pale, and he whispered a few words to a soldier beside him, and the soldier immediately left the team in a hurry. The city gate leader immediately shouted loudly: "Without a military order, even if the prince is here, don't be afraid, big guy, put on a shield, give me a shield, don't hurt the prince." ”
The crowd responded with a bang, and they formed layers of human walls with shields, densely lying on the road to the winch and the city gate. The young man's eyes were about to turn red: "Those who dare to disobey the order, rectify the law on the spot, and rush with me......" Under his leadership, thousands of troops rushed towards the shield wall composed of the defending troops like a surging wave.
The forbidden army in Gyeonggi has always been the most elite troops, whether it is training, equipment, morale and military discipline, it is not comparable to the ordinary local army, and the same is true of these city gate defenders, who know that they cannot fight back, and can only resist with shields, which is not much different from sending them to death, but they still hold on. The other party did not have these scruples, desperately slashed with a gun bayonet from the gap in the shield, especially the power of the gun barrel is very amazing, one shot at a time, the effect is immediate, but a stick of incense can not be done, dozens of people in the front rows have fallen in a pool of blood, and the screams are endless, according to this kind of passive defense and not fighting back, it will not take long for hundreds of city gate defenders to be reimbursed immediately.
"Head, it's not okay to go on like this, if you don't fight back, the brothers all have to explain here, you give orders......" Several veterans who were close to the city gate leader were experienced, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they yelled impatiently at the city gate leader. This style of play is indeed aggrieved, and it is completely a live target to die.
The city gate leader gritted his teeth, and his eyes were about to drip blood: "No, don't fight back, if you hurt the prince, it won't be our brothers who will die, and all of us will be exterminated." You can only grab the opponent's blade, and you are never allowed to fight back........"
This one-sided battle was not suspenseful, in less than half an hour, hundreds of defenders were almost killed and wounded, lying on the ground, the shield array was naturally completely broken, the other party's people have been divided into two ways, all the way to the winch, all the way to the city gate hole, the winch is crunching and wheezing, the drawbridge has begun to be lowered little by little. The barriers used for defense in the city gate are gradually being emptied, and if the horizontal bolt on the gate is removed, the gate will be completely opened, and the situation has reached a critical moment.
