Chapter 400: Reinforcements Arrive
Although the bows and crossbows of the gatekeepers were very sharp, but due to the rules, they did not distribute too many crossbow arrows, coupled with the restrictions of the terrain, so it was difficult to form a dense attack, and the battle only lasted for a cup of tea, and the bows and crossbows of the defending side were exhausted.

At this time, the soldiers who besieged the city carried huge trees and rushed hard against the city gate, although the arrows rained down the city tower, but they still did not realize that after the people in front died, the people behind immediately went up.
Under the hard work of the siege soldiers, although the palace gate is very heavy, it can't withstand this kind of vigorous collision, seeing that the city gate is about to collapse, Huan Yanfan's heart suddenly sank, and after a little thought, he gritted his teeth and said: "Open the city gate, everyone will go up, and it is better to splash blood than let the traitor take a step forward!" ”
And beside Huan Yanfan, a man wearing iron armor nodded and said: "This is not bothering Huan Lang, I and the five hundred soldiers under my command will take the lead in the front, even if they are all dead, and they will never let the thieves enter a step, after we go out, you immediately order someone to close the city gate, and then use those few door jam carts to push it up, and then pile up the earth bags, completely block the palace gate, as long as you hold on for a short time, you can hold on until our reinforcements arrive." ”
"This, General Liu, how can you put yourself in danger? Let's let the end come, although the end will die, it is not a pity! Huan Yanfan couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw that the general who looked like a small soldier was going to die, and at the same time felt his blood surge, and said loudly.
But seeing the general surnamed Liu, he sneered: "You, no, Mr. Huan, in fact, you are more suitable to be a civilian official, this charge into battle is not at all something that people like you who have never been on the battlefield can do, let you go to fight against the elite of Cheng Wuting, and you can't hold out for half an hour." ”
As he spoke, the palace gate was opened, and the general surnamed Liu led the army to rush out, and immediately fought with the army under Cheng Wuting outside.
"You, aren't you also from a civilian background? Why can't you do it? Huan Yanfan watched the civilian general fight desperately like a tiger on the battlefield, and his heart was very uncomfortable, but then his complexion changed, although it was in the dark night, but the screams were constantly hitting his eardrums, and even he could smell the pungent smell of blood, the smell of blood became heavier and heavier, and within half a cup of tea, the heavy smell of blood hit his stomach heavily, although he forcibly held back, but finally couldn't help but vomit on the ground, In the end, he vomited and even bile, and he kept retching.
And that's it, it's still when he doesn't see the severed arms below, otherwise, it is estimated that Huan Yanfan will even be able to spit out blood in the end.
And when Huan Yanfan vomited, many of the strong and strong soldiers of the Yulin Army around him were also vomiting, most of these soldiers were of noble birth, and the reason why they joined the Yulin Army was not because they were the elite of a hundred battles, but because of their identity, but now in the face of the bloody massacre, identity did not play a role at all, but the strong smell of blood made them unbearable.
"Alas, it's a good thing that we didn't take the lead in killing, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't even have time to close the door, and we would have been rushed in by the other party, and General Liu only led five hundred people, and held on to the enemy army ten times his own until this time, and the other party was still the elite of a hundred battles commanded by the world-famous Cheng Wuting!"
A touch of shame suddenly appeared on Huan Yanfan's face, but he quickly made up his mind that once the palace gate was breached, even if he couldn't bear it anymore, he would definitely die with the traitors!
The battle outside the palace gate lasted for nearly two incense sticks, and it was still going on, although Huan Yanfan heard a lot less of the sound of weapons colliding, but the screams were still not stopped, which proved that some of the five hundred people were still alive, and they were still holding their positions outside the city gate.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the elite of His Majesty's East Palace, and it is indeed worthy of Liu Youqiu, who has experienced a hundred battles with His Majesty, such a powerful combat power is really embarrassing for us, such warriors can easily kill ten of us, but it is a pity that they met Cheng Wuting's elite, and it is also a pair of ten, in fact, if it is one-on-one, I believe that even Cheng Wuting's army may not be able to win, oh, no, it must not be able to win. But can we just wait here? This is really unwilling, but we know that the meaning of us guarding here is far greater than going out and being killed, but we are not afraid of death, brothers outside, please believe us, we will never retreat, even if we die, we will definitely die on the battlefield! ”
Huan Yanfan felt the fierce battle under the city through the night, and his chest was also surging, and he thought about it for a while, and he forgot where he was.
Just when Huan Yanfan was thinking a lot on the city tower, Liu Youqiu, who was fighting bravely with the soldiers under Cheng Wuting outside the palace gate, did not hesitate at all, and fought to the death with the enemy, they were all elites of the Tang Dynasty, so there was not much difference in combat effectiveness, the reason why they were able to hold on to the present day was that they occupied the convenience of the location, they fought on the suspension bridge outside the palace gate, the scope was relatively narrow, and at the same time only allowed a maximum of ten people to go in parallel, and even so, his five hundred people also suffered heavy losses, It can even be said that the casualties are exhausted, and the five hundred people can be intact, and twenty cannot be found, but even so, they have not slackened at all, and are still struggling to assassinate one enemy soldier after another, and even the seriously injured ones have not given up, but can pull an enemy soldier to support their backs when they are dying.
"Who the hell is the other party? This is by no means an ordinary Yulin Army soldier, because the average Yulin Army soldier does not have the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, this is definitely an elite team of a hundred battles, and the combat effectiveness is no worse than ours, from the beginning of the battle to the present less than two pillars of incense, we have killed more than 500 people! Seeing this scene, even Cheng Wuting couldn't help but be moved, and silently made guesses.
He didn't make a move, because he knew that time was running out, especially since Zhang Qianqiao's army had not yet come, and he might face the same situation as him, if he didn't capture Mingdemen quickly, what was waiting for them would probably be failure.
"Kill! Kill me, at all costs! Cheng Wu was very ruthless, no matter how brave and fearless the other party was, no matter how admirable he was, he was also an enemy, and only by killing them could he win victory for himself, so he shouted loudly, and in the end, he couldn't help but step forward in person, ready to completely kill those stubborn enemies.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind me, and then there was a loud shout: "Bold thief, dare to attack the palace gate overnight, my Wang Fangyi led the army to come to the rescue!" (To be continued.) )
