Before he ran out of the shadow range of the western city wall, Yu Wenshi saw a war horse on the opposite side hurrying towards him. The person on horseback was Zhang Xiu, and when he saw Yuwen Shiji, he didn't even care about the courtesy, he lay on the saddle and shouted breathlessly: "Yu, Lord Yuwen, the general asks you to hurry up, hurry up and bring people to reinforce the city, the east of the city, the enemy army, the enemy army, kill, you are about to kill in!" ”

"Ahh Yu Wenshi shook his body in shock, and almost fell off his horse. "Where's General Lee?" He pointed at Zhang Xiu with a horsewhip and asked loudly, "Where is General Li?" What else did he say? ”

"Li, General Li has already gone with his own soldiers to block the city gate, let, let me ask for help, fast, fast, it's too late if it's slow!" Zhang Xiu wiped a handful of sweat, shouting, and turning the horse's head.

Fierce shouts of killing were heard outside the west city, and the enemy army began a third strong attack. Yu Wenshi didn't care about turning back, and followed Zhang Xiuma and rushed straight to the center of the city. Near the county office, there are also more than 1,000 brothers from the Xiongwu Battalion. That was the last thing he and Li Xu left in the spare house. Except for Li Xu, who could not rush back to transfer troops in person, only he, the supervising army, had the right to send this wave of soldiers and horses.

"Why am I so stupid, I don't even see such an obvious plan!" Yu Wenshi thought with remorse as he galloped wildly on his horse. Yesterday, Li Anyuan was assigned a defensive task, and Li Anyuan took the initiative to ask for help and won the most arduous task of the defense of Xicheng. Zhao Ziming, the chief historian with the worst actual combat ability among the core generals, was arranged in Dongcheng by Yu Wenshi and Li Xu. Everyone thought that Li Mi was in a hurry to grab food, and he would never give up the near and far, and attack the east of the city instead of attacking the west of the city. Who would have thought that the anti-thief Li Mi was best at playing conspiracy, and his "west" attack on "east" this afternoon not only successfully attracted the idea of the defenders in the city, but also happened to hit the weak point of Liyang City's defense.

Yu Wenshi knew that he had despised Li Mi too much, since this person could provoke Yang Xuangan to rebel, he would definitely have more strength than he showed in the afternoon. If it weren't for Xuzi's quick reaction, I'm afraid that Liyang City would have fallen into the hands of the enemy by now. In a hurry, Yu Wenshi planned to transfer men and horses from the north and south gates, and just gave this order to his general, Zhang Xiuran, who was running in front, turned around and shouted loudly: "Li, General Li ordered you to bring only reserve soldiers and horses. No troops may be withdrawn from other walls! ”

"I know, you hurry up and protect General Li!" Yu Wenshi replied in a very impatient tone. Zhang Xiu used the word command in his words, which made him feel very harsh. Whether according to the military regulations of the Great Sui or the current official position, Li Xu, as the chief general, is not qualified to give orders to Yu Wenshi and this supervising army. But at the moment, there is no need to fight for these false courtesies, and it is important to defend the city. Once the East City Gate was breached by the enemy, everyone faced defeat, and no matter what the main general and the supervising army fell into the hands of Li Mi, it would be difficult to escape.

Li Xu's judgment is reasonable, and he is a master of useful soldiers among the rebels. If the soldiers and horses that appeared outside the east city were also feints, and the enemy's focus was near the south or north gates, the withdrawn soldiers and horses would never be sent back. Thinking of this, Yu Wenshi frowned, withdrew his chaotic order to transfer troops from the north and south gates, and rushed straight to the county office. Fortunately, at this moment, the people in the city were strictly ordered by Li Xu to be locked up at home, otherwise it would be difficult for him to run so fast on the long street. The war horse was still hundreds of paces away from the entrance of the yamen, and I saw that more than 1,000 brothers from the Xiongwu Battalion, who were in reserve, were already standing in a line on the long street.

"The team has been assembled, please give the order to the Warden!" Qin Gang, who joined the army in the Ming Dynasty, saw the figure of Yu Wenshi, stepped forward, and reported loudly.

"Brethren, follow me!" Yu Wenshi and pointed to the east of the city, shouting at the robes. "Reinforcement General Lee!"

"Reinforcement General Lee!" More than 1,000 brothers shouted in unison, took steps, and galloped wildly in the direction of the east gate after the warhorses of the Yuwen scholar and his warhorse.

From Liaodong to Liyang, Li Xu, the heroic general who is the first in every battle, has already become the backbone of everyone. Even if the scholars did not arrive, the brothers would have to risk being punished by military discipline to rescue the general. Lord Lang refused to leave a robe on the field, and everyone naturally couldn't turn their backs on him at a critical time.

Compared to the half-truths and half-truths outside the West City, the shouts coming from near the East City Gate were particularly depressing. The closer you get to the city gate, the stronger the shouts of killing, accompanied by the noisy sound of weapons crashing and feathered arrows breaking through the air, which makes people's scalps tingle. When Yu Wenshi finally rushed to the gate with his men, he could already see the armor of the enemy through the heavy human wall.

The rebels did not know what method they used, but they actually broke through the two gates of the urn city and the main city in an instant. At the moment, a large number of rebels were pouring in from the city gate, and Xiongwu Lang General Li Xuzheng and his hundreds of soldiers were blocking the streets near the city gate in three directions.

To Yu Wenshiji's relief, the boy Leng, who usually likes to rush ahead alone, finally has the appearance of a master this time, and does not personally raise a knife to fight against people, but sits sensibly and commands about sixty steps away from the city gate. It's just that when dispatching soldiers and horses, Leng Boy didn't forget to kill the enemy. I saw him holding a bow and standing with an arrow. The pro-soldier team standing beside him was Zhou Da Niu, holding half a pot of feather arrows, and was ready to hand arrows to the general at any time.

"Ahh A rebel general screamed miserably and was shot down by a cold arrow sent by Li Xu. The enemy's offensive stalled, and the officers and soldiers defending the city immediately rushed forward. Cut down several rebel soldiers who were distracted by the tragic death of their general, and pushed the line forward by four or five steps. Soon, a new rebel flag was raised under the city gate, and the rebel soldiers, who had recovered their morale, shouted and once again forced the officers and soldiers defending the city from near the city gate.

The equipment and combat effectiveness of this group of rebels are simply very different from those who are serving as feints outside the West City. Each of them used the same Great Sui horizontal knife in their right hand, and the Great Sui Infantry Shield, which was known for its heavy and solidity, was carried in their left hand, and the helmet on their bodies was an iron helmet made during the Kaihuang period, and even the leather armor was the Great Sui military armor thickened by multiple layers of cowhide. As soon as the weapon advantage was lost, the defenders, which were composed of the veterans of the Xiongwu Battalion and the soldiers of Liyang City, could no longer stop the opponent's attack. Although they were three times as numerous as each other at the gate of the main city at this moment, they were forced to retreat one after another by the rebels. If it weren't for Li Xu, who was the main general, personally leading people to supervise the battle behind him, I am afraid that the inner gate of Liyang City would have already fallen into the hands of the rebels.

Although he is usually stupid by Li Xu, and his rustic demeanor is angry. Seeing that the other party was safe, Yu Wenshi and his spirits were still perk. Seeing that his defense line was tight, he hurriedly quickened his pace, rushed to the vicinity of Li Xu, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, reinforcements are coming!" ”

"Brothers, don't panic, reinforcements are behind you!" The more than 1,000 veterans who followed Yuwen and behind him shouted in unison. The space near the city gate was too cramped, and everyone couldn't rush forward to help for a while. Therefore, they can only show solidarity with their own robes. Hearing the shouts from behind, the morale of the officers and men who were engaged with the enemy was greatly boosted, and they worked together to push the enemy troops to the city gate again.

"You quickly take 500 people to the city, the head of the city is in danger!" At this time, Li Xu also saw Yu Wenshi and ordered loudly.

"Okay, be careful!" Yu Wenshi agreed, called out to the veterans of the two regiments, and went straight to the city along the horse road, not caring about who should command whom he and Li Xu should command.

Changshi Zhao Ziming fell on the horse road that connected with the city wall, surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Most of the veterans wearing the uniforms of the Great Sui Xiongwu Battalion were squeezed down and stood helplessly on the horse road. Recruits who had lost their courage kept running down from the city, and they were blocked by the veterans on the road. "Why aren't we allowed to go down to town!" The desperate recruits cried and squeezed forward desperately. The veterans of the Xiongwu Battalion who blocked the road were unceremonious, and directly answered their questions with their blades.

"Stop!" Yu Wenshi and drank. led the generals and quickly squeezed to the junction of the road road and the city wall. "What's going on?" He questioned loudly, and before the soldiers around him could answer, a group of recruits were already screaming and squeezing towards him.

"Lord Overseer, don't you say that you are not to blame for the past?" The recruits who took the lead cried and blamed. "You don't count. Kill with a knife! ”

"What?" Yu Wenshi was asked, only to find that there were no enemy troops and ladders he expected on the city, only countless recruits of the Xiongwu Battalion dressed in the color of the people's strong uniforms and slashed at each other with kitchen knives and wooden sticks "Ping Pong", "Ping Pong" and "Ping Pong". No one cares who their opponent is, as if they don't cut down everyone around them, they have no way to live.

"Stop it all!" The Yu Wenshi puffed up his breath and cut off his drink to the head of the city. Bombing the battalion, this is the most unfortunate thing that happens to recruits when they are about to fight, but today all the bad luck was caught up by the Xiongwu battalion. Before he could make any further moves, several recruits who had crowded around him suddenly raised their kitchen knives at the same time.

"Look for death!" The general of the Yuwen family drew his sword and cut off the head of the city by the recruits who tried to murder the prison army. "The prison army has come to kill us, everyone is fighting with them!" On the city wall, there was immediately a loud noise. Approaching the horse road, the recruits who witnessed the killing of the Yuwen Shi and his family gave up fighting with their companions and rushed over with red eyes.

"Brothers, don't be fooled, there are small works, and there are small works to stir up from them!" The Scribe and loudly defended himself. At the moment of life and death, who would listen to his explanation, more and more recruits abandoned their opponents and rushed to the horse road with bloody knives.

What a discordant plan! Yu Wenshi immediately understood why the enemy army had successively breached the two gates of the Urn City and the Main City in such a short period of time. Li Mi took advantage of the Xiongwu Battalion to recruit a large number of recruits, and officers at all levels were unfamiliar with the faces of the soldiers, so they inserted a large number of detailed works. In other words, these fine works were originally hidden in the Liyang defenders, and after Yuan Wuben surrendered, they had to surrender with them. But when they saw Li Mi and Han Shixu leading the army, they immediately took the opportunity to turn back.

"Anyone who comes close to the horse road will be killed!" Yu Wenshi and shouted orders. At this time, he had no choice but to kill a thousand people by mistake rather than rush to the city gate with a single fine work. The guards beside him raised their swords to meet him, and fought with the rebel army rushing down from the city. The pawns who did not have weapons in their hands were naturally no match for the veterans of the Xiongwu Battalion, and in an instant, dozens of them were hacked to death, and the rest let out a wail, and retreated to the center of the city wall in chaos.

"Order the other city wall guards, if there are restless ones, kill!" Yu Wenshi did not hesitate to convey the massacre order to the entire army. "If there are also small works lurking on the other city walls, I don't know if Li Anyuan can shake the scene." Listening to the screams of the nearer, he thought bitterly. "Zhao Changshi must have given the same order just now!" Yu Wenshi suddenly realized why when he came up just now, he found that all the veterans were blocked on the road. This is already the best way to deal with it, although Zhao Ziming failed to defend the city head and the city gate, he has found an emergency solution in the shortest possible time.

"Ziming, you must not die!" Yu Wenshi and silently begged in his heart. Holding back the remorse in his heart, he raised his head, and he saw the rebels on the city wall slashing each other again. Countless people died in a daze under the knives of their companions, and countless people cut down the robes around them in despair, and then were chopped into meat sauce by others. Someone was tormented and crazy by the despair in his heart and jumped directly off the city wall. Others dropped their weapons and squatted at the battlements. But this plea for mercy did not bring them more security. The red-eyed robe rushed over and hacked him to death without saying a word.

"Kill!" "Kill him!" "Kill!" Kill!"" Kill!" The shouts of killing under the city walls were higher and higher, and it was impossible to tell whether it was from the enemy army or from himself. The scholars and the scholars were so anxious that their eyes roamed the city as if they were on fire. The east city gate is divided into two layers inside and outside, between the two city gates, is the urn city with a radius of ten zhang, if the situation on the city wall is not as chaotic as it is now, the Sui army standing at the head of the city can be condescending, and strike at the enemy army that rushes into the urn city on all sides. Now, he could only stand on the road and watch the brothers kill each other.

Suddenly, a huge iron part came into view. It was the iron wheel that controlled the inner gate, and only by shaking it up would the iron fence that served as the inner gate be hoisted. The enemy army rushed into the city in such a short time, and it was certainly not because the iron fence was smashed with force. Yu Wenji felt a flash of light before his eyes, and his gaze swept through the crowd towards a group of rebels near the Iron Wheel, and found that the group was not killing each other, but calmly standing beside the Iron Wheel, looking around vigilantly. Each of these guys had a strip of black cloth tied to their left arm. Although they are not very eye-catching against the dirty step armor, they are enough to recognize each other.

"You line up and push forward, order everyone to put down their weapons, and those who don't put down their weapons will be killed!" Yu Wenshi and Yu Wenxin, who had called his own pro-soldier captain, ordered loudly.

"The overseer has an order, all recruits lay down their weapons, and those who don't lay down will be killed!" Yu Wenxin shouted loudly, and rushed directly to the city with three hundred personally soldiers in bright armor.

"Lay down your arms, don't let go, you won't be killed!" The pro-soldiers shouted. Many of them are samurai who have been trained by the Yuwen family for many years, and their skills are far stronger than ordinary people. On the narrow city wall, the untrained rebels were the opponents of this group of star-killing soldiers, and in an instant, a bloody path had been pushed out on the city wall. The pawns who insisted on not laying down their weapons, and the pawns who did not have time to lay down their weapons, were all cut down by the Yuwen Shi and his own soldiers, and blood and rivers flowed down the city walls.

"Don't be fooled, everyone, they're going to kill everyone!" In the midst of the rebellion, there were loud protests. He didn't wait for his call to be echoed by others. Yu Wenxin threw out a spear and directly nailed the person to the battlement.

The shock of blood made the rebel army slowly restore order, and most of the rebels found that they did not have the strength and skillful cooperation, and the well-armed and well-armored pro-regiment confronted, and obediently laid down their weapons. A few refused to obey and were cut down one by one by their own soldiers. Slowly, the pro-soldiers took the initiative and slowly moved forward, little by little, closer to the center of the city wall.

"Take someone up and catch someone with a strip of black cloth on their arm." Seeing that his emergency measures were working, Yu Wenshuang called the general Yu Wenshuang and ordered in a low voice.

Yuwen Shuang was originally clever, and after listening to the words of the young master, his eyes glanced at the city wall again, and he immediately understood where the source of the chaos of the soldiers was. With a wave of his hand, he ran to the city with more than twenty members of the Yuwen family, and pulled out several people with black cloth strips wrapped around their arms one by one among the chaotic soldiers who had already squatted.

"Brothers, they lie and deceive, and the autumn queen settles the score!" The people who were pulled out cried out loud and tried to create chaos again. The family of the Yuwen family quickly knocked him down, tied it with ropes, and then untied the black cloth strip that marked his identity from his shoulder.

"It's these people with black cloth strips wrapped around their arms who are thieves, and they are in the nest, killing so many people!" Yuwenshuang held up the black cloth and announced loudly. The panicked recruits turned around, saw the black cloth strips in Yuwen's hands, and then looked at the left arms of several guys who were pulled out, and immediately understood what was going on.

"General Han is just outside the city, brothers, fight with them!" The rebels guarding the iron wheel saw that their identities had been recognized, and they didn't wait for Yu Wenxin to bring people to kill him, so they didn't admit themselves.

"Lay down your arms, don't let go, you won't be killed!" Yu Wenshi and his own soldiers chanted again. Stopped the recruits who wanted to step forward and work hard, and strode towards the iron wheel.

The recruits dropped their weapons and took the initiative to make way of a passage. Yu Wenxin led people to rush up and quickly hacked the largest group to death. Seeing that the general trend had gone, a few fish that slipped through the net quietly untied the strips of cloth on their arms before the soldiers could kill them. This slight action was hidden from Yu Wenxin, but it was not hidden from the people around them. Several red-eyed recruits dropped their weapons, grabbed him, and pushed him off the city.

The rebels outside the city noticed the new changes on the city and fired a rain of arrows in an attempt to perpetuate the chaos. However, Yu Wenshi and the Bunji had stabilized the situation on the city walls, and the feather arrows could only cause damage, but they could not create new chaos. Braving the rain of arrows from the enemy, Yu Wenshi and constantly issued orders to replace the new recruits on the city wall with the veterans of the Xiongwu battalion, and ordered the frightened recruits to be escorted to the houses near the horse road to rest. The veterans of Xinshangcheng are all the elite of the Xiongwu battalion who have experienced the battle in Liaodong, although there is still a certain gap between the training degree and the soldiers of the Great Sui Prefecture, but the confidence built on the victory in the last two battles ensures their morale. Holding their shields high, they walked up to the city wall one after another, controlling each battlement and controlling the sharp weapons of the city around the urn city.

"Nail shoot ready!" Yu Wenshi pointed at the enemy troops gathered in the urn city with his horizontal sword, and ordered loudly.

I don't know if it was out of self-confidence or to save time, but the rebels didn't assume a ladder outside the eastern city wall. "Li Mi, if you lose today, you will lose in self-confidence!" Yu Wenshi thought viciously, and the horizontal knife slashed out a golden light in the setting sun.

Note 1: For the protective facilities on the urn city and the ancient city wall, see the example of the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi. The city was built in the Han Dynasty, rebuilt in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and in the early eighties, because the place was too poor, the ancient city has not been demolished by the local government, so it has been well preserved.
