In the following days, the war entered a fever pitch.

Bianjing City is like a woman scratching her head and posing, fiercely stirring up the fire of the rebels. The weak defenders on the tower of the city were like the last fig leaf for women, but they could not be torn apart by the rebels' dirty hands hysterically.

The more this is the case, the more anxious and exciting it is.

Break through these four gates, and all of them will make a contribution to the dragon! What is the threat of the Xia Kingdom in the west, and what is the threat of the Qi Kingdom in the east?

If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed!

"Kill, !!"

The loud shouts proved that their morale was like a rainbow, and they should be relieved to have such a group of people who were willing to serve the dead. But the loss of two sons in just a few days made him fall into deep sorrow.

No queen is the most vicious punishment for a careerist who vainly wants to leave a name in history.

Dongfang Yuanxing now only wants to break through the city gate and attack the imperial city. Even if the Oriental family can't be immortalized, they can be contaminated with a trace of dragon energy and leave their names in the history books, at least they can talk about themselves. Comforted.

The bearded Nie Wancheng was overjoyed, lifted the curtain from the tent and looked out, ignoring the cold wind that invaded, and laughed and said: "Congratulations to Lord Xiangguo, according to the current offensive, the city will definitely be broken in three days!" ”

Congratulations to me or to you? A hint of mockery flashed in Dongfang Yuanxing's eyes.

The biggest support for this rebel army came from Nie Wancheng's southern troops, and he was the first person to follow him. Now that he has lost his son, who is the person most likely to ascend to the throne? Even fools can see this.

Nie Wancheng is a rough man, which can be seen from his inability to control his emotions freely. But what makes Dongfang Yuan very unhappy is: no matter how strong your desire to be an emperor is, can't you bear it? Do you have to smile so heartily in front of an old man who has just died of his son?

Of course, at this juncture, it was impossible for him to expose Nie Wancheng, but he said: "The old man has carefully calculated that Xi Yuwei was bitten by Xia Guo at the border. Beard must have thought that it was a matter of national security, and the defenders of the Western Regions would definitely come back to help, so that Beard would be able to make a lot of money in the Western Regions. It's a pity that they still don't understand us Han people, maybe we play with good intentions and tricks, but in the face of national justice, foreign enemies will always shoot before internal enemies. Even if the country changes hands, it is our own business, so even if they fight hard, they will not let the Xia people invade half a step. ”

Nie Wancheng thought for a while, and said in a rough voice: "Yes, it's such a reason." ”

Dongfang Yuanxing said: "Even if the Northern Xuanwei can withdraw some reinforcements, the Northern Hu people have to be guarded, and it would be good to be able to transfer back 20,000 people." The east is adjacent to the Qi country, this neighbor who was with us at the beginning, Qin Tian would really be so relieved? As the old man expected, there will only be fewer people who can be transferred back by Dong Lingwei. ”

Nie Wancheng said with a smile: "Yes, in this way, Qin Tianxiao'er should be thankful that he can gather 50,000 horses." Coupled with the influence of Lord Xiangguo in the capital, how long can they hold out? ”

"You can't say that." Dongfang Yuanxing frowned. "With the old man's understanding of Qin Tian, this son is good at forbearance, if he doesn't have any back-up, how can he give up all resistance along the way and let us attack Bianjing City smoothly?"

Nie Wancheng said: "There are many of us, maybe he doesn't want to make more senseless sacrifices." But if he thinks that he can stop us with a majestic city, he is too naïve. ”

"Newspaper—"

Outside the door, a fast horse came at a fast speed, and the sentry said in front of the door: "Generalissimo Qiyu, I just received a report from the south that 10,000 iron cavalry of Donglingwei attacked the city and burned the granaries of Luonan and other four towns, and our baggage team was also intercepted. ”

"What!"

Nie Wancheng's face was startled, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the east.

Dongfang Yuanxing squinted his eyes and said, "How long can we eat our food?" ”

Nie Wancheng's face was heavy, and he said, "It can probably last for about ten days." ”

Dongfang Yuanxing smiled slightly and said: "This kid is really calculating, he really dares to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and take out Dong Lingwei under the nose of Qi Guo." But... He still thinks too simply. ”

Nie Wancheng scratched his head and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Dongfang Yuanxing explained: "He knows that our ultimate goal is to occupy Bianjing City, and he is afraid that he will transfer back reinforcements, so we must speed up and seize the opportunity." So he simply gave up resistance and let us drive straight into it lightly. But the problem is - it is impossible for us to leave a large army of men and horses to garrison the city we occupy, and it is precisely because of this that he took the risk of sending Donglingwei to intercept our back road, so that we can live without food in the cold season. He relied on the solidity of Bianjing to fight a war of attrition with us, and slowly dragged us to death. ”

Nie Wancheng suddenly realized and said, "I didn't expect this yellow-haired child to have such a poisonous mind. ”

"Calculation is good calculation, but he must also be able to keep it." Dongfang Yuanxing said leisurely, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face: "Can General Nie do it to capture Bianjing City within ten days?" ”

Nie Wancheng laughed and said, "If you can't do it, you have to do it!" ”

****************************************

The fighting is getting fiercer, people are dying every day, families are broken every day.

People who have not experienced war can never imagine the horror and cruelty of war. The people of Bianjing live every day in the sound of shouting and killing, and they don't know when their relatives who have been requisitioned will return, and they don't know how long the crumbling Tang army can hold out.

There were fewer and fewer servicemen in the four large battalions, and in order to prevent the plague, corpses were destroyed every day. There was a smell of burnt flesh in the fire, and who could remember what these nameless young people had done for the country?

There were fewer and fewer weapons to use on the towers, and the hoarding of stones and arrows was running out, and they had to fight for their lives in the face of an enemy who was still relentlessly attacking.

On a snowy night in Bianjing, when the soldiers broke their souls.

The defenders of the Tang Dynasty had become crumbling in the enemy's onslaught for five days and five nights, and on several occasions, in the face of the enemy who killed and injured the head of the city, the soldiers wanted to simply give up, at least they could save their lives. But watching the robes die bravely, they didn't dare to show such a depressed mood.

Fortunately, on the sixth day, the pressure in the east and north directions suddenly eased, and the defenders, who were already on the verge of collapse, were greatly relieved.

It is impossible for the rebels to give up for no reason. Full of suspicion, the defenders of the east and north searched around, and finally learned the original intention of the rebels to relax their attack on the second gate in the northeast.

Because of the West Xuanmen!

The defenders led by Tang An showed amazing combat effectiveness in the battle. Zhan Wushuang is by no means a mediocre person, and he can hold an important position at a young age, not by the signboard of the "Golden Sword Warrior", but by his extraordinary bravery and outstanding leadership skills.

is such a person, but he has been repeatedly frustrated in the hands of Tang An and has suffered heavy casualties.

The "Avengers" force of only 3,000 people under his command broke out with combat effectiveness that exceeded everyone's expectations.

When stationed at the border, in order to be able to compete with the brave beard, Zhan Lingyun was very strict with his subordinate Erlang, and practiced day and night. They fought with their beards, fought with bad weather, fought out a body of copper skin and iron bones, and fought out a strong tiger courage.

During the period when Gucheng was broken and the yellow earth was destroyed, they had to face the crisis of death every day and every night, and exercised an iron will.

The hardships they have endured have made them shine the most brilliant in Bianjing City.

The rebels who climbed to the top of the city thought they had seen the dawn of victory, but when they faced these fearless people, they found that they were facing a group of killing gods who were not afraid of death.

The knife in his hand had obviously slashed at them, but they seemed to not know what the pain was, and they could actually cover the wound and send the halberd into the opponent's heart. Even in the narrow city tower, they can still maintain a rigorous formation and tacit cooperation, once there is a gap, the comrades around them will immediately fill in and replace the robes that have fallen to the ground.

And the little man who had been hiding in the shadows and suddenly unleashed cold arrows, and the rebels hated him to the core.

You'll never be able to see him, but when you're engrossed in battle, you'll be coldly pierced by arrows shot out of nowhere, and you'll see a small, black-faced man with a wicked smile and white teeth when you're unwilling to fall to the ground.

Under the leadership of such an army, neither the Yulinwei nor the Praetorian Guards dared to call themselves the division of kings.

In addition to being ashamed, they also aroused the desire to win: how could they, who came from the frontier and were so fearless of death, known as the elite of the elite, hide behind others like a group of cowards?

Fight!

Greatly boosted in morale, they cheered each other up with shouts of killing, and proved their worth with the corpses of their enemies. They tirelessly wield their weapons, obscuring the enemy's ferocious attacks one after another.

Looking at the figure of the rebels retreating in despair every day as the sun sets, everyone realizes the glory of being a soldier - that is the pride of being invincible in a division of a hundred battles.

Of course, manpower is sometimes exhausted.

Compared to the rebels, they can't afford to consume. Although they annihilated their enemies many times their size, they still suffered heavy casualties. What's even more terrifying is that because of the limited number of people, they have no chance to rest at all, and they have to watch out for enemy sneak attacks at all times.

They are human beings, and they will also be tired. But for the sake of Bianjing, they actually slapped each other when they were about to close, just to keep a clear head.

Such a group of people is respectable.

After several days of fighting, their physical strength and spirit have reached their limits. If Tang Anqiang hadn't forced them to rest, maybe they would have continued to persevere.

Tang An ignored the soldiers' request to fight, but took advantage of the night to let people scavenge the arrows that had come these days. Although there were less than 7,000 of the 10,000 men in his hands, he still ordered half of them to return to the camp to rest.

The forbidden army in the capital was shocked. Although the unparalleled army suffered more casualties, and there were about 30,000 people left, could it be that this Lord Tang wanted to block the attack of nearly 30,000 people outside with a mere number of 3,000?

What did you say about Lord Tang's words? The brain show is funny!

They didn't have a chance to ask, but they saw that the Avengers were walking away without looking back, as if they only knew the obedient machine.

They didn't understand where these Elm Pimples of the Western Regions came from with their confidence in Tang An, but even Tang An's own soldiers looked like this, what did they worry about? What's more, they are so tired.

That's it, when the city gate was breached, it was a big deal to fight for his life and die for the country.
