Chapter Eighty-Six: Storming the City
Even if everything is ready, Qin Huaiyu still can't rest assured, she must go to the city in person and supervise it.
Now that it has reached a critical moment, there is no room for a little carelessness, so Qin Huaiyu is cautious.
Beneath the city, in the darkness of the night, there were enemies in night clothes, small in stature, and swift in their movements, and in a moment they rushed to the bottom of the city walls.
Since Zhou Yuji returned to the city quickly, he was closely monitoring everything, and there were people in the city with good eyes staring at it, and shining with torches, and there was no room for negligence. As soon as there is an enemy situation, immediately warn!
"There's someone down there!" "There's someone over there, too!" Shouting one after another, this is a warning! At the same time, the arrows flew into the sky. Gunshots rang out!
The whole city is full of people! And the city is a mess. The voice that can be heard most clearly is: "Everyone, get up!" Meet the enemy! ”
The torches were raised in great force, and they shone like day, so that it was convenient for arrows and birds to shoot down the city.
Under the indiscriminate fire of guns and arrows, most of the Japanese who rushed to the city wall died before they could do bad things! It's just that there will be a few survivors who want to use gunpowder to blow up the walls.
They're digging holes so they can plant explosives, alas! Once discovered, they won't be given a chance! You are bending down and digging a pit, and this pit is the one that buries you, because many arrows swept in, and the corpses of the pirates with many arrows fell into the pit.
No way! Even if they couldn't dig a good hole, they had to blow it up first! The original plan was to dig a hole that could hold people, so that people could dig into the hole and dig it all the way to the bottom of the city, so that a lot of gunpowder would be planted and the walls would be blown down.
Although the idea is good, the defenders of the city are not slack at all, and do not let you have a chance, and in the end it can only end in failure.
Still, some explosives worked. "Boom" sound. It's ignited explosives! Because the enemy has nothing to do but ignite the explosives quickly.
Some of them have explosives in the pits, and when they blow them up, they really blow up a hole, and they will be able to get into the hole when they rush over.
There was a pit on the west side of the city that had been dug to accommodate a man, so there was a widow hiding there, and no matter how much he shot arrows and threw things down from it, he couldn't hit him.
He could only plug his ears with his hands and wait for the roar to pass. He'll do bad things again. After the pit becomes a hole. It then becomes a tunnel to lead directly into the city.
"Hey!" Sakai Tadashi was very angry, he thought that this time it would be easy to break through, but he didn't expect it to be a failure, how could he not be angry?
The generals around him said, "Elder." Immediately order the whole army to attack! Carry forward the spirit of bushido! Under the protection of His Excellency the Honorable General and His Majesty the Emperor, this battle will be our victory! ”
Of course, Sakai Tadashi knew, and he didn't say much more, he immediately gave the order, and the whole army began to storm! And he also gave special instructions that as long as he drilled into the hole that had been blown out or dug the hole, he would continue to dig tunnels. Be sure to open up the tunnels that lead to the city.
At this moment, the night turned into day, and the two sides began to attack and defend fiercely.
No matter how well you defend yourself, you can't guarantee that your enemies will burrow into a hole and die inside. Likewise, you have to have a good way to defend yourself against the enemy.
No, there was a loud cry from the city: "Beware, everyone! Someone is already in a hole! We've got to get them out! ”
Isn't it easy to get it out? You can use the grass that has just been cut, the moisture is very large, or the wet firewood, as long as it is burned, the smoke will be very large, and people will choke unbearably.
Yes! Pile after pile of lit things were thrown down into the pits or holes below, and immediately there was smoke below, not to mention the closeness, even if you were in the city, you could hardly bear such a large smoke! It's damning!
No, one by one the shrunken turtles came out helplessly, although the smoke was very large, and the people in the city couldn't see it clearly, but as soon as you showed your head, you had to give you a head-on heartbeat, and there would definitely be no fake!
Start attacking! Arrows and falling rocks fell one by one on the city, and the pirates under the city fell one by one. Even if you fall without an arrow, as soon as you enter the sea of fire, the fire will consume it.
Sakai Tadashi was shocked to see it, his teeth clenched, and he finally broke into a pit or hole after sacrificing many people, and you wiped it all out at once! You're so good!
Sakai Tadakiyo felt that he had no face, and he had to save the lost face if he died, so he wielded his katana more frequently, which made the Japanese army move forward without fear of death.
It's just that the military quality of the Japanese army is poor, and if it were some long-trained troops, maybe the situation would be very different.
Fortunately, the number of defenders is not large, otherwise how could they fight so hard? They probably wiped out the Japanese army. Now that the garrisons in the city are decreasing, the garrison is getting weaker and weaker, and the people have to be called on to go to the city to defend!
And the husband had already followed Qin Huaiyu's orders, and they all began to beat gongs and drums in every street in the capital, loudly announcing the great victory of the grassland, focusing on saying that the main force of the Tang army would soon be killed, and then the capital would be safe! As long as you hold on for a few more days, everyone will be able to live happily and peacefully as usual.
Everyone was excited to hear the news, and no, someone else shouted: "Come with me, everyone!" We're going to go up to the top of the city to defend! ”
"That's right! We want to defend our homeland! No one will be allowed to occupy our homeland! "It's all men! Come on! ”
A group of men shouted, and together they ran fast towards the city.
This is a performance among the men, and the women say, "Let's move!" Our men have gone up to the city to fight to protect us! We have to help them! ”
Others say, "Sisters, either our man is in the city, or our brother or father, or our son is in the city!" Our loved ones shed their blood there to protect us! If the city is broken, we will be humiliated! If we want the whole family to survive, we must stand with our men and the government to defend the city! ”
Yes! These words are all encouraging everyone to unite and defend the city together, so that the Japanese can not break the city.
On this side, the army and the people are united, and if the Japanese want to break the city, they are doomed to fail. It's just their hope, can Zhang Biwu come quickly? It is impossible for the new Xuan Ye to make Zhang Biwu easy.
Xuan Ye and Terry were together, and most of Terry's cannons were aimed at the road to the capital from the north, and at the same time, he also sent more Hou cavalry to reconnoiter to see which direction the Tang army was coming.
Xuan Ye also had a serious face, he looked in the direction of the capital again, and at the same time, the situation in the capital, he also asked the soldiers to report to him quickly.
After hearing the incompetence of the Japanese army, he was constantly stomping his feet, and this last attempt may have ended in failure.
Including Terry is also unwilling, if they can't break through the capital, and they are waiting here, if they can't eliminate Zhang Biwu, the final loser can only be them.
Now the best result they think of is that Zhang Biwu will personally lead troops to rescue Beijing first, and then they will intercept Zhang Biwu on the way, so as to kill Zhang Biwu.
They were waiting for the news to arrive. At that time, they will also spread out, they want to go all out to break through the capital first, and know that their troops are in the capital, so that Zhang Biwu can eagerly march to achieve their goal.
Their assumption was that even if Zhang Biwu guessed that they would set up an ambush on the way to Zhang Biwu's march, it was because he was too anxious and too concerned about the safety of the capital.
He has to march, and if he doesn't, he can't do it! You have to be able to get him inside, kill him, or seriously injure him. Naturally, it is the best, no, it can only be to strike at its vanguard.
The arrival of the army behind may be a bitter battle, or it may be a failure.
So Xuan Ye and Terry's hearts are very heavy, they are waiting, looking forward to the news from Hou Qi's side! Xuan Ye and Terry kept praying in their hearts that Zhang Biwu would come in person and let their artillery send Zhang Biwu to the western sky!
Hou Qifei reported: "I saw the other party's yellow cover!" There is also Zhang Biwu's Daxu! He must have arrived! ”
In this way, it is naturally refreshing! Zhang Biwu personally came as a striker? That's great!
Man your posts! They all ordered the gunners to load the shells and fire them at any time. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the news in the capital, whether there is good news.
Not to mention, they really heard the good news, because Xuan Ye sent E Shuo to participate in the battle there, although the Japanese army was incompetent, E Shuo and his Eight Banners were quite effective, they were bombarded by artillery, and the Japanese army was used as cannon fodder, they rushed into the outer city, of course, only in the outer city, and there was no guarantee to continue to move forward!
It's just that there is such a good thing, which is a great good thing for the Japanese Kou! Isn't it a surprise for a soldier to attack it? Therefore, the Japanese are also more desperate, and they also launched an offensive towards the city, delusional and majestic. The news of this news made Xuan Ye so happy, and the breakthrough of the capital was just around the corner!
