Wang Xuanjing was originally Wei Chigong's general, after the battle of Lou Fu Pass, he was promoted to Huya Lang general, and at the same time was transferred to Wei Wentong's army, he gradually won Wei Wentong's appreciation with his shrewdness and ability, and became his right-hand man.

Wang Xuanjing was responsible for guarding the northern city, which was close to the eastern city, and Wei Wentong urgently ordered Wang Xuanjing to rush to the eastern city to support in order to gain time.

3,000 soldiers, led by Wang Xuanjing, rushed towards the head of the eastern city.

At this time, Dongcheng was already in danger, and the five nest cars had already approached the city wall, and the arrows of the Zhou army were helpless against the nest cars.

One of the nest cars has been the first to arrive at the city wall, when it is only a zhang close to the city wall, the heavy wooden plank is put down, smashed on the battlements, the gravel flies, it forms a natural bridge, the car platform in the hundred Tang soldiers rushed out of the nest car, directly rushed to the city, and the Zhou soldiers fought together.

Immediately after the other four nest cars also leaned on the city wall, nearly 500 soldiers rushed to the city, Hou Junji led 3,000 people are Li Shimin from tens of thousands of troops selected elite, for the first wave of impact on the city wall, once they attack the east city successfully, a large number of Tang soldiers will continue to pour along the channel inside the nest car.

These 500 soldiers were fierce and unstoppable, and instantly rushed through a bloody road in the defenders, and the Tang army under the city under the leadership of Hou Junji swarmed towards the city along the Chaoche passage, and more than 2,000 defenders were killed and retreated, and the situation in the city suddenly became tense.

Zhao Jun, the lord of the East City, shouted anxiously: "If we go to ask for help again, we will not be able to withstand it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of Zhou soldiers killed from the city, and at this time it was the defenders of the east city gate, they were the closest to the battlefield, and the situation on the city wall was critical, and they also killed them.

Hundreds of fresh troops killed to ease the situation in Dongcheng a little, but because the support was too small, it could not change the critical situation in Dongcheng, but the entry of these hundreds of soldiers still bought a little time for the Zhou army killed in Beicheng.

Just when the defensive line of the Zhou army in Dongcheng was about to be torn apart, Wang Xuanjing led three thousand soldiers to finally kill, Wang Xuanjing roared and led the soldiers into the battlefield.

．．．．．．．．．．

Not long after Hou Junji led five nest cars and soldiers to attack Dongcheng, Li Shimin also got the news, which made him overjoyed, and he immediately personally led 10,000 troops to kill Dongcheng. At this time, Wei Wentong also saw Li Shimin's intentions, he had just sent Wang Xuanjing to support Dongcheng, and once again urgently ordered the six thousand reserve soldiers in the city to rush to Dongcheng to fight.

At this time, the attack of the army led by the Tang general Qin Qiong in Xicheng did not weaken, but became more and more ruthless, and Xicheng was also in danger, so that Wei Wentong had no time to take care of Dongcheng for a while.

The fierce battle in the east city was in a state of stalemate, 500 strong Tang soldiers fought with the Zhou army at the front, and more than 2,000 Tang soldiers led by Hou Junji in the back.

Hou Junji's goal is very clear, kill from the city, open the city gate and let the lord lead the army into Hedong City.

But the road to the lower city was blocked by the Zhou army, and the other side of the lower city was two miles away, and there were also countless Zhou troops pouring up to the city, making Hou Junji anxious, at this time, there was a high-pitched horn sound in the distance, which was personally led by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to kill the main force.

Hou Junji was excited and ashamed, and he shouted loudly: "The one who breaks through first, the bounty is one hundred taels!" ”

Driven by the heavy reward, the attack of hundreds of strong armies became even more frenzied, groups of soldiers fell, and groups of soldiers stepped forward, desperately trying to open a bloody road.

"Press it up! Annihilate them all...."

Wang Xuanjing brandished a big knife, shouted loudly, his voice was hoarse, thousands of soldiers swarmed up, divided and surrounded, and pressed the five hundred fierce Tang troops to the death in the places where they each landed in the city, preventing them from converging together, and the Zhou army also fought back desperately, although the five hundred elites of the Tang army were fierce, but after all, there were not many people, and in the face of the dense encirclement of the Zhou army, they could not rush out for a while.

The city is still in a fierce battle, the ladder is overturned, the siege soldiers are shot and fall into the city, the screams and roars come and go, the Tang army under the city is also like arrows, and the Zhou army is constantly falling to the ground with arrows, and the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides have entered a white-hot state.

"General Wang!"

A soldier rushed to Wang Xuanjing and shouted at Wang Xuanjing from afar: "General Wei ordered you to destroy the nest car, and you must not let the main force of the Tang army go to the city!" ”

Wang Xuanjing suddenly realized that the biggest threat was still the five nest cars, which were like five convenient passages to the city, from where a steady stream of Tang troops ascended to the city.

Wang Xuanjing was so anxious that his eyes were red, "Shoot the nest car with a rocket!" He yelled.

Dozens of soldiers of the Zhou Army fired rockets at the nest car, but it had no effect, the nest car was covered with a layer of cowhide, and the rocket could not be ignited.

"General, it would be better to burn it with high slave oil!" A soldier reminded in a low voice.

Wang Xuanjing was stunned for a moment, he slapped himself hard, he actually forgot such an important weapon, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Use fire oil!" Kerosene! ”

Hundreds of soldiers rushed up with clay pots filled with fire oil, and threw the clay pots at the nest car, the clay pot shattered, and the black fire oil flowed all over the car. The ground burned, flames flew, and in a matter of moments, the flames engulfed the four nest carts one after the other.

Hou Junji saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and jumped into the last nest car, and rushed towards the city, and the soldiers behind him also fled downward.

At this time, more than 100 clay pots hit the last nest car, the black oil flowed on the nest car, dozens of rockets shot at the nest car at the same time, and suddenly the flames burned, burning faster and faster, with thick black smoke spreading downward.

Without the support of backup, the hundreds of fierce troops who rushed to the city first fought less and less, and finally all of them were annihilated by the Zhou army.

At this time, the Zhou army invested another 6,000 soldiers also rushed to the east city, so that the defensive strength of the eastern section reached 9,000 people, and the battle flags and soldiers of the Zhou army were all over the city.

Li Shimin led 10,000 Tang troops to Dongcheng just now, but when he saw Hou Junji, who was covered in blood, he was in a mess, Hou Junji knelt down and cried: "I can't hold on to my humble duties to the end, so I ask Your Highness for my guilt!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji, who was scarred, and then at the nest car that was burning, and after a while, he sighed and ordered: "Order to collect the troops!" ”

'When! While! While! ’

As the bell rang to collect the troops, the besieging Tang army retreated like a tide, leaving behind corpses, broken ladders and burning nest carts, and the first tentative attack of the Tang army was over.

This battle lasted nearly two and a half hours, the Tang army was destroyed 12 nest cars, 83 siege ladders, more than 7,000 dead and wounded, and the Zhou army also killed and wounded nearly 3,000 people, the city began to get busy, the people went to the city to clean up the bodies of the dead, carried the wounded down on stretchers, cleaned up the arrows on the city, hundreds of soldiers took thousands of people out of the city to clean the battlefield, and brought back to the city the Tang soldiers who were lying on the ground and could not escape, and recovered the arrows.....

The bloody and tense battle finally stopped, Wei Wentong only felt that he was so tired that he was about to collapse, sweat soaked his inner and outer clothes, the armor became extremely heavy, hanging on him like a big stone, he leaned weakly on a battlement and looked out of the city, and the overwhelming company camp in the distance suddenly became unreal.

This tragic battle haunted his mind like a nightmare, and he refused to leave, watching the corpses being removed like wood, and the casualties of the Zhou army were so heavy that he didn't even think that the Tang army would sneak attack from Dongcheng.

At this moment, Wei Wentong suddenly felt that he would not be able to defend the city, and he had an indescribable uneasiness in his heart, wondering if he would be able to defend this city again when the Tang army attacked the city again? (To be continued.) )
