Before the rebels appeared, even if he was fully prepared, Guo Rong was still nervous, and even needed Emperor Li Yu to help him calm down.

However, with the emergence of the rebels, everything is moving towards a conventional offensive and defensive battle, Guo Rong's nervousness disappears, and his confidence grows stronger.

When the second round of catapult projectiles of the rebels ended, standing in front of the main building, staring at the Shence army marching towards Xingqing Palace with torches, shields, blades, armor and simple bamboo ladders and wooden ladders, Guo Rong suddenly became very calm.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath of the cold air of early autumn, a thought suddenly popped into Guo Rong's mind:

Lao Tzu seems to be a virgin in his life, and it will be a great loss if he dies, and he will wait until the war is over......

After more than a dozen breaths, when Guo Rong opened his eyes, he could already faintly hear the rebels under the palace walls shouting and scolding to build a bamboo ladder.

The defenders above Miyagi were prepared for battle with swords under the command of their respective commanders and captains.

Just as the rebels under Miyagi had set up their ladders and had just begun to climb, a rapid drum beat suddenly sounded in the distance, and a roar of roars rang out in the square.

"Put!"

Densely packed across the square, a total of nearly thirty catapults that had been erected began to be projectile in a neat manner.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

The stones and timber slammed into the palace wall, and a series of loud noises accompanied by bursts of tragic wails came into Guo Rong's ears.

Guo Rong's face changed instantly!

The rebels attacked indiscriminately while their own people were attacking the city!

It's so ruthless!

This time, the density of the projection was much higher than the previous two, and most of them attacked near the palace wall, and the palace wall at this time was full of defenders preparing for battle!

The defenders who were caught off guard suffered heavy losses under the indiscriminate projectiles, and only two or three steps to Guo Rong's left, a commander of the new army was hit by dozens of catties of stones, and his entire right shoulder was directly broken.

Another ordinary soldier was directly hit in the chest by a stone, and at that moment, the whole person was smashed out by the flying stone, and smashed heavily on the back wall.

Almost instantly, wailing was everywhere, and the entire palace wall became extremely chaotic.

Looking at the scene on the city wall, as well as the stones and wood that kept flying, Guo Rong's eyes were on fire.

At the moment, there is no need to think about defense, the defenders above the palace walls are still like this, and those rebels who have just arrived under the palace walls will be wiped out.

Picking up a shield from the edge of the palace wall and holding it on the front, Guo Kai directed his soldiers to dodge as he walked along the battlement.

"Everyone, dodge!"

After a dozen waves of high-intensity attacks, the projection density of catapult attacks dropped dramatically, and soon scattered attacks disappeared completely.

When the last stone bullet slammed into the palace wall with a loud bang, the palace wall and the palace wall were already filled with screams and wails.

Suppressing his emotions, Guo Rong began to direct the defenders to treat the wounded and deliver supplies and supplies.

Guo Rong has seen similar tactics, and more than once, this kind of indiscriminate design when attacking has only one purpose, to consume the strength of the defenders!

But Guo Rong didn't expect the rebels to be so ruthless, and they would use such murderous tactics when they came up!

And this tactic is not without drawbacks, morale!

Isn't Ju Wenzhen afraid of a morale breakdown?

The war strategy is dead, the key lies in people's understanding and application, Guo Rong was really taught a lesson by Ju Wenzhen this time.

The reality is often more cruel than imagined, looking at the wailing wounded on the palace city, the chaotic scene, Guo Rong once again felt that he was still too naïve.

The tactical literacy and strategy of the Tang people and the Tang army are not comparable to the Tubo people, and they are likely to be against the eunuch leader Ju Wenzhen, who can force the emperor to abdicate.

About a quarter of an hour later, the casualty data had been counted, and more than 80 people were killed and more than 40 were seriously injured in a completely unguarded situation!

You must know that the entire Xingqing Palace New Army, Shenwu Army, Jin Wuwei, Modao Soldiers, and Cavalry add up to only 2,500 people, and this wave alone killed one-twentieth of the number in Guo Rong's hands.

In this wave just now, Guo Rong visually estimated that there should be nearly a thousand people, and these people still have the main building, and there are palace walls that can barely be dodged, and the following Shence army has no place to dodge, just now, the projection density just now, if the more than 1,000 people below can survive half of them, even if their lives are big!

The problem is that although the casualties of the rebels are large, they can afford to lose, and as far as the scene seen tonight, the number of rebels has exceeded expectations, and the strength in Guo Rong's hands is to lose one less one!

Under the advantages of one another, Guo Rong felt that the pressure on his shoulders had increased a lot.

After suffering a loss, Guo Rong did not dare to be careless, while sending people to transport the wounded and supplies, and after learning from the experience of this wave, Guo Rong readjusted the deployment, reducing the number of front-line personnel on the palace city, but speeding up the frequency of rotation.

About half an hour later, Guo Rong received a clear return.

The rebels have completely blocked the four palace walls and eight palace gates of Xingqing Palace, and Guo Rong has just received the news that Xingqing Palace has been completely surrounded, and a group of rebel cavalry under the palace city galloped with torches in hand.

"Li Xuan, the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom, has a grudge and plots to kill the Uighur Huaixin Khan, and now she has sent Uighur cavalry to move into Chang'an, and now Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang have been held hostage, and the Shence army has been ordered to enter the city to quell the rebellion!"

Hearing the declaration of the rebels below, Guo Rong was forced to look at it, and the Emperor Li Xu, who reappeared in the city, was also amazed.

If Li Yu is not in Xingqing Palace, it may be a little useful, and it may affect morale, but now who in the entire Xingqing Palace does not know that the Emperor Taishang Emperor is guarding the country and the king is dead, and these two sentences are absolutely impossible to have any impact on the morale of the defenders of Xingqing Palace.

Similarly, there is an emperor in Daming Palace, and there is a prince in Taiji Palace, although it is also a way to shake the army's heart by relying on a few rumors, it is inevitably a little naïve, Guo Rong's anxiety on his face has decreased a little, and his face is slightly happy.

However, soon, Guo Rong and Li Yu couldn't laugh, because after these cavalry shouted under the Xingqing Palace, they did not stop, but left, passed through the open fangmen, and chanted in Chang'an City.

"Li Xuan, the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom, has a grudge,...... His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang have been held hostage, and the Shence Army has been ordered to enter the city to quell the rebellion! In order to ensure the pacification of Chang'an, Chang'an City has a curfew for three days......"

It turned out that the rebels wanted to incite the people in Chang'an City, so I am afraid that the war could not be resolved in a day......

"This Ju Wenzhen's methods are still so sharp, and they are really clever ,......"

Emperor Li Chen's words immediately attracted Guo Rong's attention, and looking at the puzzled Guo Rong, Li Yan smiled.

"Let me ask you, do you think this battle is not easy to fight?"

"Uh...... Be! ”

"This is where he is clever, do you think Xungui, Gongqing, and Zaifu will be confused by this rumor?"

, Li recited a little, Guo Rong understood, the dog said that the object of the attack was the defense commander of Xingqing Palace!

Good hand psychological warfare.
