Chapter 264: Breaking Chang'an

"The Han army is mighty!"

In front of the army, Gao Shun shook his arms and howled.

"Victory is won!"

Two thousand armor soldiers responded with three calls, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Although the Han Dynasty has died, the immortal military spirit of the Han people has not been extinguished.

In the past, he fought for the Han Dynasty, but now he is fighting for the Han nation.

Gao Shun has always been influencing the soldiers under his command, whether it is fighting for the Han Dynasty in the past, or how to fight for his ideals, Gao Shun and the soldiers he brought out are as determined as ever.

The 2,000 infantry soldiers were well-equipped and well-armoured, no worse than the regular army under Luo Zheng's command that specialized in warfare.

In fact, although the 20,000 tuntian soldiers had to plough the fields and cultivate the land, their training never slackened.

As a soldier under someone like Gao Shun, the soldiers can't relax.

As soon as he has time, he will be pulled out to practice, and even resist the invasion of the Huns and the Liangzhou rebels, although he has not experienced a large-scale battlefield, but he is no longer a recruit, and he has a certain experience in battle formations.

As for these two thousand foot soldiers, they are even different from other Tuntian soldiers.

Among the 20,000 Tuntian soldiers, these two thousand foot soldiers not only received the most rigorous training, and even called it cruel, but also experienced the most battle formations, the Xiliang Rebellion Army under the command of Guo Yan often rushed into the north, Anding two counties to plunder, responsible for the frontal blockade are this foot soldier, originally there were 3,000 people, after the big waves washed the sand, and finally Gao Shun left 2,000 people.

As for the weapons and armor, they were used by Gao Shun to give priority to equipping this foot soldier.

It can be said that Gao Shun thoroughly implemented the concept of governing the army with noble soldiers and not many soldiers.

Although these two thousand foot soldiers were Tuntian soldiers, they were armed to the teeth by Gao Shun.

The strict discipline and the momentum of Ruhong are not worse than the professional soldiers stationed in Longxian under Luo Zheng.

With the sound of a loud trumpet, under the cover of five thousand archers, two thousand foot soldiers quickly rushed to the city. The dense shield array parted on both sides, and ten ladders with barbs were immediately put on the head.

"Up!"

Gao Shun waved his hand, and the first one climbed the ladder with a shield.

Arrows rained down on the city. The Turret Guards raised a huge shield and stood in the forefront. The rest of the sword and shield soldiers held their shields and formed a dense formation, which was not chaotic, firmly protecting their heads from the rain of arrows pouring down from the city.

"Smash, smash Lao Tzu."

At the head of the city, there was a small colonel waving his arms and roaring vigorously.

The soldiers of Guo Yan, who were standing in a row, immediately lifted the rolling wood and stones under their feet, lifted them over the battlements and smashed them down.

"Stop!"

Gao Shun roared, and casually hung the ring knife on the hook specially installed on the ladder. The body shrunk, half-squatting on the ladder, one hand with a shield to protect the top of the head, one end propped on the ladder, and the other hand stubbornly climbed the horizontal wood of the ladder.

The sword and axe soldiers who climbed behind were also like a school, hanging dead on the ladder.

Bang bang bang......

The rolling log stones that fell from the top of the city smashed hard against the shield and rolled down from the left side.

Gao Shun resolutely did not move, and he didn't even shake his body.

The rest of the soldiers did not have such courage, and a few of the more unlucky ones were smashed down.

"Up!"

When the rolling wood and stones on the head of the city rested, he immediately shouted. took the ring knife and flew up like a knife.

Without saying a word, the axemen who followed immediately took off the ring knife and climbed up after him.

"Good!"

The Chinese army is in the main formation, and Luo Zheng has already come to the front of the formation.

When seeing this scene. I can't help but applaud with a hard hit.

Between this stillness, he showed amazing discipline and tacit understanding deep into his bones, and the soldiers who climbed up the ladder were like a whole, and they could all stop when they stopped, but this was not something that ordinary people could do.

You know, everyone is a different individual.

It's not difficult for dozens or hundreds of people to be uniform, and those volunteers may do even better than that.

But the problem is that it can be done on a bloody battlefield. It's amazing.

At least so far, Luo Zheng had never seen an army with such an astonishing appearance. This is no longer a matter of discipline, but a test of life and death. A challenge to death tolerance.

You know, this is a battlefield of flesh and blood, not a playhouse.

Even if it is a professional soldier who specializes in war under Luo Zheng, he will not do better than this foot soldier.

Maybe the elite of the Northern Army can also do it, but the former elite has either been broken up and become the most basic army commander, army commander and other low-level officers, or they are too old to fight, and they have taken off their armor and retired for the elderly.

"It's really an elite!"

Jia Xu praised it, and couldn't help but praise it.

Cheng Ying, Zhang Liao, Yan Xing, Xu Chu and other generals also nodded involuntarily, their eyes showing amazement.

Luo Zheng also nodded again and again, to be able to bring a non-professional Tuntian soldier like this, Gao Shun does have a hand.

There are many generals in the world, but I can't find a few who can do this.

Luo Zheng couldn't do it, because it needed to constantly influence the soldiers for the general's body, so as to forge a truly invincible strong will and an invincible belief that he would win in battle, rather than relying on training to do it.

Gao Shun is very strict with himself, and he can even be said to be a little perverted.

There is not a single person like this among the 10,000 generals who lead the troops.

Human character is innate, and it is not something that can be imitated if you want to.

Except for Gao Shun, Luo Zheng has never seen a military general with troops like Gao Shun.

There are thousands of generals in history, and perhaps the strong soldiers brought out by famous generals are not bad, such as Huo Quai, a famous general of the former Han Dynasty.

The soldiers brought out by Luo Zheng are also elite in a hundred battles, such as the three thousand old troops, who also have tenacious will and invincible faith, but in terms of discipline and uniformity of action, they are much worse than this infantry under Gao Lu.

The style of the generals is different, and the soldiers brought out are also different.

However, there is no doubt that Gao Shun's 2,000 foot soldiers are an elite.

The city wall of Chang'an is only three zhang high, just after two rounds of rolling wood and stones, Gao Shun took the lead in jumping onto the city, and the ring head of more than five feet long will be opened, and the three Guo Yan soldiers who are about to pounce on him will be cut in half.

By the time the soldiers behind jumped up to the city, Gao Shun had already found a place to stay.

"Lined up on the spot. Hold on to both sides! ”

Gao Shun shouted, his majestic body moved to the side at the same time, and his left arm poked out like lightning. He grabbed all the spears that had been pierced and clamped them under his armpits, and then sent them violently. The soldiers who pounced on Guo Yan immediately turned on their backs.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the eight soldiers who jumped onto the city immediately divided into two groups, a group of six people rushed to the back, leaning on each other to resist with shields, and at the same time holding their positions and struggling to resist the slaughter of the defenders.

The other group of two rushed to Gao Shun's side and worked with Gao Shun to defend the other end.

More and more soldiers climbed up the ladder to the top of the city and joined in the fierce fighting.

However, Guo's counterattack was also unprecedentedly fierce. Although Gao Shun fought bloodily, he also felt very difficult.

Fortunately, more and more soldiers climbed up the ladder to the top of the city, and finally stabilized their position. At the same time, the soldiers in charge of the siege on the other ten ladders also killed the head of the city under the leadership of the military marquis, and fought bloody battles with the defenders.

"Kill, kill Lao Tzu!"

Guo Yan's eyes were red, and the tenacity of this foot soldier was beyond his expectations.

I thought that Luo Zheng was still just a tentative attack, and the siege armies in the north and south gates were thundering loudly and raining little, what could Luo Zheng do with just 2,000 foot soldiers. I didn't want to be killed in the city in less than half an hour.

What's even worse is that more and more Luo Zheng soldiers climbed onto the top of the city.

Hundreds of steps away. The main formation of the Chinese army.

Jia Xu's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Lord, since General Gao Shun has stabilized his position, he can quickly order the army to attack the city with all his might, and seize this rare opportunity to break through Chang'an in one battle, so that Guanzhong can be determined!" ”

"Please give the order quickly!"

Zhang Liao, Yan Xing and other generals also asked for battle, and they all saw rare fighters.

Luo Zheng thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "Good, just follow the words of Wenhe." Command the army to attack the city with all its might! ”

"Yes!"

Some heralds had already gone in response to the call, and they climbed the high platform to pass down military orders with flags.

The roaring sound of bull horns and deafening war drums burst into the sky. This was the sound of the clarion call for an all-out attack, and the tens of thousands of troops who were waiting in formation instantly boiled. Under the leadership of the commander of the corps, he quickly pressed on.

At this time, there were no locust-like arrows on the head of Chang'an City, and the rolling wood and stones were smashed.

After Gao Shun stabilized his position, more and more soldiers killed the head of the city, the war has entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, where can the Guo Yan army defending the city still care about throwing arrows and stones, the only thing to do is to fight for their lives.

In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, tens of thousands of troops launched a comprehensive general attack on Chang'an City.

Generals Zhang Liao and Yan Xing personally led hundreds of foot soldiers to the head of the city, blocking the fierce counterattack of Guo Yan's army for Gao Shun.

The fierce fighting lasted from morning to noon, and from noon until the sun went down.

Luo Zheng's face was solemn, staring at the city, as if he had forgotten about hunger.

Jia Xu, Cheng Ying and other literati also looked at the city nervously, they hadn't eaten for a day, and they hadn't even moved much, even though their stomachs were like thunder, but at this time, where could they take care of eating, if they didn't take Chang'an in one go, it would be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future, at this time, the competition was to see who could survive to the end.

The fierce and good fighting of the Xiliang army is not false, just look at the tragic battle situation at the head of the city.

Although the equipment of the Xiliang Rebellion Army under Guo Yan is not as good as Luo Zheng's army, and the discipline is not as good as Luo Zheng's army, its tenacious style and fierce fighting spirit are not bad at all, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to hold on to it until now.

The sun finally set, and it quickly got dark.

The 10,000 cavalry, hungry and waiting, had already lit torches.

Torches were also lit on the inner wall of Chang'an City, illuminating the inside and outside of the city as bright as day.

Under the firelight, the faces of the hideous or solemn flickered and dimmed, and everyone watching the battle was numb.

At this time, Yan Xing was covered in blood, regardless of the number of knives he wore and led hundreds of people to the top of the city gate tower, cutting the cable with one sword, and in the piercing sound, the drawbridge crashed to the ground and smashed on the pier.

"Raise the jack gate!"

Yan Xing struggled to cut the two soldiers in half with a single sword, and raised his arms and howled.

More than a dozen soldiers immediately rushed forward and struggled to turn the winch.

Whoa!

The chains tightened violently, and the tooth-aching sound of metal rubbing sounded, and the heavy jack gate finally began to rise slowly.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

The nearby Guo Yan soldiers rushed over without fear of death, and slashed at each other.

Yan Xing led the people to guard around the winch, fighting for his life.

"Okay, knock the city away!"

Hundreds of steps away, Luo Zhengkan's spirit perked up, and he immediately broke off.

"Yes!"

A herald had already responded loudly and quickly passed down the military order.

Soon, a bulky crashing car was pushed up by dozens of soldiers.

The structure of this crash car is very simple, a simple iron frame, with two iron wheels underneath, and a log thicker than Xu Chu's waist on top, which is fixed and dead on the iron frame.

The top of the log was sharpened, and even a huge iron cone was mounted, which was sharpened.

Dozens of soldiers grabbed the push rod specially set aside, pushed the crash car and quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, rushed across the drawbridge, and with a loud bang, the huge iron cone at the front end of the log slammed into the city gate.

In the flying sawdust, the masonry above the city gate hole shook violently.

Dust fell from above, confusing the soldiers' eyes.

"Retreat!"

The team leader at the front roared, and dozens of soldiers immediately worked together to drag the crashing car out.

It took more than fifty infantry to retreat before they shouted in unison again, pushing the crashing cart and running forward quickly.

The gate of Chang'an City is not ordinarily strong, and it has not been opened even after more than ten hits.

Luo Zheng was a little anxious, and said sharply: "Where is Xu Chu, quickly crash into the city gate!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Chuhu roared, immediately rolled off the horse, and ran over like a fly.

"Get out of the way!"

I saw this guy running to the back of the crash truck, casually pulling aside one of the soldiers at the back, and then grabbed the iron handle used to push the cart with both hands, and with a fierce force, the crash truck that was moving slowly immediately flew straight forward.

"Ouch!"

Some soldiers were caught off guard and were almost dragged to the ground by the city truck.

"Damn, work hard for Lao Tzu!"

Xu Chu roared, and the soldiers who were struggling to push the cart were in high spirits, and immediately gritted their teeth and pushed desperately.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the crashing car weighing thousands of pounds slammed into the city gate.

In the flying sawdust, the clicking sound kept sounding, and the heavy Chang'an City Gate seemed to be about to fall apart, but it didn't crash open.

"Open again!"

Xu Chuhu roared, and immediately dragged the crashing car out.

After only retreating more than thirty steps, he once again pushed the crashing car and ran.

The soldiers on the cart had already changed three times, but despite this, they were all tired and sweaty and panting.

In addition, I haven't eaten a grain of rice for a day, and I only drank some water, and my heart is close to my back when I am hungry, and my strength is really difficult to last.

When the crashing car was dragged out again, another group of soldiers immediately stepped forward.

After five strikes, there was a loud bang, and one of the gates on the left finally collapsed under the weight of the weight. (To be continued) R640
