Chapter 93: Chang'an Rebellion (7)

"Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, Guo Rong should not be arrogant, why do you think Ju Wenzhen can win the favor of the emperor? Why was Ju Wenzhen able to bring all the eunuchs around him? Why did I go from being an emperor to an emperor? ”

"In terms of grasping people's hearts, I have never seen a more powerful character than Ju Wenzhen!"

"And you didn't actually lose to Ju Wenzhen today!"

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"I didn't say it deliberately to boost your confidence, with the absolute advantage that Ju Wenzhen occupies now, if he feels that he has the chance to win, why bother to set up such a cautious person's attack?"

"You will only be crowned next month, and Ju Wenzhen is older than me, and more experience is beyond your reach, you are definitely not an opponent when you play psychological warfare with him, be your general well, and I will be the rest!"

After saying what he wanted to express, Li Yu turned around and walked towards the main building, handing Miyagi back to Guo Rong.

Originally, Guo Rong prepared a large number of braziers on the south side of the palace wall, so that the south wall was like day at night, under the attack of the rebel three-wheeled catapults, a large number of destruction, the south side of the city wall, which was much darker, returned to its normal state.

The current light is the original brightness of the palace wall of Xingqing Palace, feeling a lot darker, looming firelight, staring at the firelight on the south side of Xingqing Palace, Guo Rong began to unconsciously distracted.

Now that a question has arisen in his mind, what would happen if Li Yu hadn't reminded him, his mentality fluctuated?

Staring into the distance, Guo Rong's fingers began to tap the battlement sharply, and his mind began to spin rapidly.

After thinking about it, calculating, and figuring it out, after standing on the palace wall for a whole hour, Guo Rong finally came to the conclusion that he would take a risk to boost the morale of the defenders.

Li Yu is right, fighting with Ju Wenzhen, ten of them are not opponents, rather than considering small tricks, it is better to directly play the hole cards that the other party already knows to the limit.

"Come on, bring Yu Qian, Degang, Wang Zheng, and Mo Ling to me!"

"Whoa!"

The herald left in a hurry, and Guo Rong continued to stay on the palace wall to observe the enemy's situation.

Guo Rong knew that the battle of Xingqing Palace would be more cruel and difficult than he imagined. However, at this moment, Guo Rong is already full of confidence in himself.

"Captain!"

From low to high, Degang, Yu Qian, Mo Lingjun, and Wang Zheng appeared side by side in front of Guo Rong.

And Guo Rong stood still, standing behind the siege, looking at the dense firelight on the square.

After a while, he suddenly turned around and said to the four young people in front of him with a calm expression.

"The number of rebels is more than we expected, and the rebels are ready to fight a protracted war, and while the rebels have brought us huge casualties in an indiscriminate round of catapult shooting, the morale of ordinary soldiers will inevitably be affected, and it is already an absolute disadvantage, if the morale is low, this Xingqing Palace will not have to be defended!"

"There are at least five thousand elite Shence rebels in the square outside, on the edge of Guangcheng, if I guess correctly, the rebels are using the materials that have been prepared long ago to build catapults and other siege equipment, I ask you if you dare to take two hundred cavalry out and wave now?"

"Our purpose is also not to kill and injure, but to deter those rebels, Ju Wenzhen used some of the enemy's crazy slaughter to beat our morale, then we will use stronger means to tell him our determination ......, of course I need you all to come back alive!"

Under the firelight, Wang Zheng and Degang were eager to try, Yu Qian's face looked a little harsh, and Mo Lingjun looked at the firelight in the square below.

Mo Lingjun, whose ancestral home is Hebei, is not good at riding and shooting, but he does give Guo Rong the best horse lance among the two hundred people, and with this kind of close-range raid now, several people's eyes finally focused on Mo Lingjun.

"Captain, I think I can give it a try, I found some vests and war horse equipment from the treasury of Xingqing Palace, although it is a few years, but it can still be used, under the surprise attack, it is enough to resist the enemy's arrows and crossbows."

"I'll see if I can come up with thirty or fifty sets, as long as I can have thirty sets, I'm eighty percent sure that I can bring all the brothers back, but after the raid is over, I need someone to help us stop the pursuing enemy army, otherwise we won't be able to return to Xingqing Palace!"

"Okay, it's enough to have your words, I'll personally guard the back road for you, go and prepare!"

Time passed minute by minute, and when the time passed midnight, the wailing sound under Miyagi completely disappeared, and those who could crawl back had already crawled back, and those who did not crawl back would no longer have pain and trouble.

Approaching midnight, the school field on the south side of Xingqing Palace was brightly lit.

Hundreds of soldiers of the New Army and the Shenwu Army surrounded the south campus.

In the middle of the school field, forty Mo swordsmen, sixty crossbowmen, and two hundred cavalrymen were standing quietly, waiting for the final order to attack.

Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Guo Rong, who was wearing heavy armor and holding a Mo knife, took Mo Lingjun in a vest and climbed on the Dianjiang platform together, and saluted the Emperor Li Chan, who was in the Dianjiang platform with both hands.

"Chen Guo Rong/Mo Ling both ask to fight!"

As the sound of the two asking for a battle came out, the entire school field was instantly silent, only the torches crackled and burned under the breeze.

One by one, the soldiers held their breath, waiting for orders and declarations from the Emperor.

"I will fight for you on the palace wall, beat the drum for you, I want to personally witness your triumph, the glory is there, the Tang Dynasty is here!"

As Li Chen's voice fell, the glory was there, the Tang Dynasty was there, and it reverberated in the school field.

"Expedition!"

As the word "expedition" came out of the mouth of Emperor Taishang Li Chan, several teams gathered in the school yard dispersed in turn.

Soon, the cavalry attacking, the broken infantry, the crossbowmen on the palace walls ready to provide support for the retreating defenders, and the emperor Li Yu, who was ready to beat the drums for the cavalry himself, performed their duties.

Soon, the southeast corner of Xingqing Palace, which had been closed, was quietly opened, and a group of cavalry slowly left the protection of Xingqing Palace from Mingyi Gate under the cover of night.

At the head were thirty horsemen dressed in horse armor, horses with armor, and armed with spears and lances.

After a simple formation, with thirty mounted cavalry as arrows, a sharp arrow formation slowly appeared on the edge of the south square of Xingqing Palace.

At the front of the front of the array were thirty meters of cavalry, followed by dozens of archers with horn bows in the center, and finally more than a hundred cavalry armed with short spears and Tang swords to expand the victory.

After completing the formation, they began to wait quietly, waiting for the sound of drums from Xingqing Palace and from the Emperor Taishang himself.
