Chapter 341: Old Guys (5)
They believe that the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty will not be so boring, especially the old fellows who have made good deals with them.
As the distance closed, they vaguely saw the figure of the city head.
The gates were closed, and there was a lot of confusion with the sound of fighting inside.
The man behind Fan Rao took out a strange drum and made a gesture to knock it, but Fan Rao raised his hand and signaled a pause.
"Don't knock," he said, "something is wrong, wait a minute." ”
He took the lead away from Chang'an City, frowned at the firelight inside, and listened to the sound of fighting inside, staying for a long time.
In the end, he confirmed the facts, cursed, and said, "Go back, something happened." ”
In the dark night in the distance, it seemed that there was a long mountain in the crossing, so heavy and oppressive.
As the distance closes, you can gradually see that those are actually people, countless people.
The Thousand Crow's Crossbow pointed at them from afar, and when it was confirmed that it was Fan Rao, the crossbow machine was slowly lowered.
Fan Rao walked unhindered all the way, and finally came to the depths of the army, facing a young man who was still a little pale.
"Grandpa, you look very injured and haven't recovered yet, how do you feel?"
Jin An waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to worry about this, and asked, "What's wrong, failed?" ”
"It's very wrong, it should be Long He and Xu Jingyi's gang that failed." Fan Rao sighed.
The opportunity to reduce casualties and take the city is just slipping through your fingertips, and this feeling is really not comfortable.
Jin An frowned.
"What now, do you want to retreat?" Fan Rao's watch looked a little annoyed.
Jin An groaned.
"No," he said without question, "give the order to the whole army, and attack the city at once, tonight, is the best chance!" ”
Fan Rao looked at him in shock.
……
……
At the moment when Li Zenan swung his sword and cut off his head and fought with the city guard, Xu Jingyi immediately took a few steps back and left his original position.
After him, more and more city guards followed Xie Jun's orders to cross him and kill Li Zenan.
He has no combat effectiveness at all, so he has no need to be a pioneer, otherwise in addition to sending him to death, it will also add to the chaos.
Xie Jun's city guard has five or six hundred people, and because he has to hold the city, his combat effectiveness is very strong, Li Zenan has his back to the city gate, and he has been surrounded, Xu Jingyi was still a little calm at first.
But the moment the horse under Li Zenan's crotch ran and swung his sword again, he suddenly became afraid.
The sword is like the wind, and it has the potential to sweep across the South Mountain.
Li Zenan's second sword slashed horizontally, so it was like a mountain moving over.
Five or six people flew out sideways, and the sound of blood and howls was endless.
Li Zenan's sword momentum was not easy to resist at all, and in a short period of time, he broke through the first encirclement of the city guards by himself and one horse.
Here, Xie Jun has a huge majesty, and the matter has come to this point, there is no way to retreat at all, so despite this, those city guards still put on a desperate posture that is not afraid of death.
"Kill, kill them all."
Li Zenan's voice was low and did not carry any feeling, he felt unprecedented frustration because of the betrayal, but he didn't care about the posture of these jumping clowns.
Hearing his order, Xu Jingyi's face turned cold, he had always thought that he was ruthless, but now it seems that Li Zenan is even more ruthless.
In any case, Xie Jun and the city guards here can deal with the existence of Jin'an outside the city, and now the soldiers and horses of the entire Chang'an, including all the old, weak, sick and disabled, are less than 5,000, so the more than 500 experienced city guards here are not expensive combat effectiveness, at this critical juncture, if Li Zenan gives a little favor, saying that as long as he surrenders, he will not blame Yunyun in the past, maybe many people are still willing to sell their lives, but Li Zenan has no such idea at all, he does not accept those who have betrayed him, so he decided not to leave one behind, and kill them all!
This is really a madman, Xu Jingyi thought, and then he smiled bitterly - at this juncture, everyone is desperately trying to protect their own interests, even Xu Jingyi, why didn't he go crazy?
Seeing that his subordinates had an irresistible appearance, Xie Jun personally raised his knife and went into battle.
With Li Zenan's movements, the horsemen behind him all followed invinciblely, and for a time they were extremely damaging to the city guards.
Xie Jun faced a person, turned his hand and slashed off the horse, his face was blank.
The Xie family is a family of generals, his father died on the battlefield in his early years, he Xie Junnian is standing up, one is courage, nothing has made him afraid, even today's situation.
The Tang knife flew up and down, Xie Jun stabbed step by step, knife by knife, and when Li Zenan rushed out of their encirclement with that group of people, seven people had died under his knife.
He looked back at the young man who had betrayed them, and smiled contemptuously.
Yuan Sanwen felt his gaze.
He was powerless, in this chaotic battle, he didn't dare to stay away from Li Zenan at all, and when he saw Xie Jun's sword skills, a little fear appeared on his face, he had reason to believe that if Li Zenan was the person here who wanted to kill the most, then whether it was those city guards, or Xie Jun and Xu Jingyi, he was the second person he wanted to kill.
The imperial dragon was unstoppable, and the city guards suffered heavy casualties along the way, but Li Zenan's sentence of "kill them all" cut off their way, so despite the fear in their hearts, no one stopped attacking.
The chaotic war could not end in a short period of time, and at the same time, it was clear that Xie Jun's goal was on Yuan Sanwen.
In the night, the firelight surged, dividing the whole black, a generation of emperors personally shot, and the rebellious city guards bloody battle, I have to say that the history of the Northern Tang Dynasty has developed to this field, it is really full of tragedy.
In the face of Li Zenan's fierce offensive, although the city defenders were superior in numbers, they were still at a disadvantage very quickly, and gradually there were signs of rout, and only Xie Jun was struggling to support himself.
Xu Jingyi slowly retreated, then suddenly turned around and ran away.
He wasn't a fool, he didn't have any combat power, and when he saw that the general trend was gone, he wanted to retreat, which was an instinctive reaction.
Xie Jun's face was covered with blood, and he didn't know how many people he had killed, but the knives were blunt and his hair was scattered.
With a cold sword, he raised his sword to block, and his body flew out upside down as if it had been hit by a boulder from a siege machine, and he slammed into the city gate with a "bang", spitting out blood.
He snorted, looked up, and saw Li Zenan looking at him with a smile.
He closed his eyes and sighed, he Xie family Jiangmen family, he has always been loyal, and now in order to protect the family, he betrayed the Li royal family, but after all, he still failed, fame and fortune were defeated, it was really a failure.
