Chapter 145: The Twilight of Chang'an City (4)
Twilight in Chang'an City (4)
"The general's north gate is in an emergency! A large number of Han troops were found outside the city, no less than more than 10,000 people, and they were about to attack the city, please ask the general to decide! The northern garrison of the city, who had just come in a hurry, said. Because he was in such a hurry, he even forgot the most basic etiquette, but Xiahou Nan didn't have time to worry about him at this time.
Have you ever found out clearly, it's really the Han Army! There are more than 10,000 people! Xiahou Nan was really stunned for a moment and asked.
"General Hui, the words of his subordinates are true, the outside of the northern city is full of Han army people, stretching for several miles, at this time the trench bridge must have been erected, and they are about to attack the city, and they urgently need support!" The soldier said anxiously,
Xiahou Nan paused, although he guessed that it was the surprise soldiers of the Han army attacking the city, but he didn't guess that it would be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. "Got it! Go down! ”
"No"
In less than a moment, I was still sitting on the warm bed with tonight's sweet dream, but I didn't realize that I had reached such a situation at this time. pinched his thigh, and the pain passed to the bone marrow!
"Madame, pack your things! Chang'an City may not be able to be saved! Xiahou Nan said in a deep voice to the woman on the bed.
"Isn't there more than 10,000 soldiers in Chang'an City? How can it not be kept? If you lose Chang'an City, will you be able to take it? Princess Qinghe's fair face was worried, staring at Xiahou Nan and saying in a deep voice,
"The Han army raided, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not reckless, they must have been planning for a long time, all the previous moves are for tonight, do you think we can still hold it? Hurry up and pack up, and I'll send someone to take you out of town later." As for what will happen next, I will confess to Your Majesty! Xiahou Nan said helplessly.
"So what do you do!" Princess Qinghe's face was already clouded at this moment, and tears leaked out like a!
"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own way to get out!"
"Liu Qiang, take my armor," Xiahou Nan shouted!
Princess Qinghe nodded hesitantly! Tiptoeing began to pack up.
The courtyard where Zhuge temporarily lives in the south of the city is brightly lit at this time! As if it were daytime, there were soldiers in black armor outside the courtyard, about a thousand people, making final preparations, and the drums of the north gate were their orders to prepare to charge. Qin Hong stood in front of the entire army, Zhuge Qiao, Qin Shan, Fu Yan, Liu Yu, and the entire wolf-tooth soldiers were not in the ranks, but stood aside, as if they had nothing to do with themselves!
The war drums in the north of the city sounded loudly at this time, but Qin Hong still did not give the order to charge; Time passes by minute by second, and although it is cold winter and dark night, no one will feel cold.
When the sound of war drums continued for nearly a quarter of an hour, the city began to boil; At this time, Qin Hong finally ordered his subordinates to blow the horn of the charge. After the torture of the Meridian Valley and the severe cold in Guanzhong, the anger that had been held in his heart for a long time was finally released at this moment. Like a tiger descending from the mountain, he rushed towards General Anzai's mansion.
In the blink of an eye, the focus of the battle shifted from the north gate to the city, and it also completely woke up the sleeping city people.
"General, the general is not good! Inside the barracks was an empty barracks, and the military commander was nowhere to be found. In desperation, his subordinates sent the county army in the city to Beicheng, but the combat strength of the county army may not last long! Please decide," Xiahou Nan was already dressed and was about to go to the North City Gate to supervise the battle, but was stopped by the guards who had just been dispatched.
"What! Could it be that Peng Wen is reversed! Xiahou Nan was taken aback, and his mouth was so frightened that he couldn't close it. He knew that there were only 5,000 elite soldiers in the city who could fight, and the remaining 5,000 county troops were still new armies and had not yet formed combat strength.
Before Xiahou Nan could make adjustments, another panicked soldier ran over! "A large number of enemy troops have been found in the south of the general's city, and they are coming straight to the palace!"
Xiahou Nan almost didn't stand firm: "The South City Gate is broken!" "I can't help but ask!
"Back to the general; The South City Gate is still in our hands, and they have come out of a remote courtyard outside the South City, and it seems that they have been planning for a long time," the soldier replied in a deep voice.
"Unstoppable! Gather your troops and prepare to break out! Xiahou Nan's face was extremely solemn and said slowly;
The situation in front of him can no longer tolerate his superfluous thinking, although the Han army on the north city wall is powerful, but it will not be able to attack it for a while and a half across the city wall, but the sudden disappearance of the five thousand elite soldiers stationed in the city is unacceptable, and the ambush soldiers in the city who have been in ambush for a long time are also attacking the Anxi General's Mansion, everything seems to be premeditated, and the spearhead is directed at the Anxi General Xiahou Nan.
Xiahou Nan was not good at military affairs, and only relied on his own background to climb to the military position of General Anxi's garrison in Chang'an; But it's all going to stop tonight.
The killing cries of the Han army are getting closer and closer, and Xiahou Nan has already packed up his belongings and is waiting to meet his soldiers and horses! Just as he was about to leave the city with his family, another soldier ran over, but he was not as panicked as the guard just now, on the contrary, he did not have a trace of worry, and seemed to have a trace of pride.
"General, Peng Sima asked me to tell the general, he is fully prepared for the situation in the city, please don't worry about it!" The soldier clenched his fists and said in a deep voice,
It's just that Xiahou Nan couldn't hold his breath. "What! You said that Peng Wen did not surrender to the Han army, so where is he now! After being surprised and delighted, Xiahou Nan shouted excitedly.
"Sima is ambushing the enemy, please rest assured," the soldier replied with his fists clenched.
"Does Peng Wen know that the Han army is going to attack the city tonight! How did he know? Xiahou Nan thought about it carefully and couldn't help asking.
"Sima said that after the war is over, he will explain it clearly to the general, and his subordinates don't know the specific situation!" The soldier continued.
The army that was about to leave just stopped at this moment, and Xiahou Nan was no longer ready to abandon the city and flee, but was ready to wait for a miracle to befall him! Peng Wennai was sent from the Central Plains Imperial Court to assist his defender of the city Sima, and in the Yongzhou army, except for himself, he was the highest position, and there was no reason to rebel. And he has a prestige in the army, and is known for his loyalty, and he doesn't look like a traitor. Thinking about it, Xiahou Nan was relieved.
However, he still did not take any action, and the soldiers and horses who stayed in place and prepared to break through did not withdraw! It's not that he doesn't believe that Peng Wen can't resist the Han army, it's just that he feels that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will never give up this great opportunity easily.
Qin Hong led 1,100 people to go straight to the Anxi General's Mansion to kill, according to the previous plan, there will be a hundred righteous soldiers in the city, that is, the dart master of the Nagato Dart Bureau will answer on the way, but they have not been seen for a long time; Qin Hong felt more and more that the situation was a little abnormal, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, how could the taut bow be loosened at this moment.
