Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of Weinan (6)

Looking at the chaos in the city, for a while, the soldiers on the city couldn't help but be in a commotion.

I yelled, "Calm down! How can it be that the whole city is full of spies? A curfew alarm was issued, and the chief of each pavilion was ordered to return to the middle of the house, close the inner door, and not go out. If a thief invades, defend himself, and rest until death! Whoever is still on the street after an hour will be punished as a traitor! ”

The construction of Chang'an City is based on the unit of li, five households are a first, fifty households are a mile, each mile is high and towering, the walls are strict, such as a small city similar, for the residents, can prevent the invasion of rape and thieves, for the ruler, but can prevent the people, and it is beneficial to defend in the city defense war. Therefore, at that time, all countries inherited this system, which remained unchanged, and has always been regarded as a tradition by later generations.

Bells and drums rang in Chang'an City, and a curfew was issued. Chang'an City is not allowed to go out at night, otherwise it will be beheaded. In addition to being available at night, this signal is also available during special street closures. The order was given, and in an instant, the streets were empty, and only the people who made trouble remained. Climbing high on the city tower and looking down, the thieves split into two roads, all the way to the palace, all the way to the north gate.

Li Yan was suddenly taken aback and said, "Wuwei Battalion! ”

Outside the gate of Jianzhang Palace, the enemy army has gathered in one place, raised the banner, wrote the word "Wuwei", and is storming the palace, my father and hundreds of civil and military officials are in Jianzhang Palace, those people are only five or six hundred, but they are all strong and strong. --Some time ago, Cao's army entered the Kou, and a large number of displaced people poured into Chang'an, I was kind for a while, and did not deal with it in time, they must have mixed in with the displaced people at that time -- Wuwei Battalion is one of Cao Pixin's five battalions, and its predecessor was the Tiger Guard of Huhou Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang, and the history books say that each of these people is a "chivalrous man", and they are very skilled. Thankfully, I was able to make them visible in time, for the horror of the Assassins lies in the fact that they are in the shadows, and in the open, they are not necessarily much stronger than the well-trained army.

Immediately under the north gate of Chang'an, there was also chaos, more than 100 thieves in front of the army, a person with a big knife, such as flying, it seemed that he was going to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and answer Sima Wang into the city. When the Han army blocked it, it was split into two sections with a single sword, and it was unstoppable.

However, if more than 100 troops want to grab the city gate, it is too self-sufficient.

Li Yan shouted, "Protect the city gate." "He himself has rushed down to the city.

The man and Li Yan faced each other, and between the few knives, they were evenly matched. I know Li Yan's courage very well, he has fought against Huang Hansheng for dozens of rounds without winning or losing, and his skills are by no means under Wei Yan, and now this enemy is so good. Who is he?

"Let's get the name together!" I shouted.

The man raised his head and shouted: "I am the nephew of the Tiger Marquis Sect, Xu Hun is also!" ”

Sure enough, it is a descendant of Xu Yu. The Xu family is a large family, and has gathered thousands of young people and clans, which has greatly helped Cao Cao to raise troops. Although the tiger marquis Xu Yu died, the Wuwei battalion was still the main force of the Xu family. I'm so stupid, Kong Ming told me to be on guard, I only thought that it might be some small work to enter the city, why didn't I expect it to be this "chivalrous" group. Also, apart from them, who can make me give up the outer city of Chang'an and hold on to the palace.

At this time, Sima Wang and the Wei army had already rushed over. They had few siege equipment, but they swam across the moat and climbed it with their bare hands, regardless of their lives. Rushing ahead were some bandits, light and very good. It's a pity that Chang'an is not a quail, the city is more than ten zhang high, although it is built of earth, but it is rammed as hard as iron stone, although the guards are few, but they have the advantage of standing at ease and waiting for work, the continuous rain of arrows pours down, the huge rolling stones smash them into meat mud, pour hot oil on their heads, climb to the halfway of the enemy army will scream and fall down the city, and then the rocket shoots out, ignites the oil, and the city is a sea of fire. Sometimes someone climbs up and stabs with a knife and spear, and the person is knocked to the ground from a high place.

Thirty Zhuge Divine Crossbows guarded the city wall, and the semi-automatic repeating divine crossbows were almost as tall as dozens of guards. Prevents enemy troops from advancing. Although the crossbow arrow was small, it was smeared with tiger medicine, and it was poisoned immediately after shooting, and the wounded soldiers screamed miserably under the city.

Sima Wang didn't know where to get a few stone machines, but unfortunately across the moat, his strength was too weak, even if he barely smashed the city wall, it didn't play a big role. What's more, as his stone generators moved, there were always people in our army who hung large pieces of raw cowhide to guard the key points of the city wall, making it difficult for these stone generators to make meritorious deeds.

The Huns did not move, they were cavalry, and it was a joke to attack the city across the river, and the same problem existed with the soldiers and horses of Liaodong. The main force of the siege was only Sima Wang's bandits.

Looking at this situation, I couldn't help but think of how dangerous it was for Wei Yan to plan to leave the Meridian Valley and attack Chang'an with five thousand military horses in another world. If the defenders of such a fortified city are attentive, what is the fear of the 100,000 army? If it weren't for the fact that our army had Pang De mixed into the city, cut down the rope and opened the city gate, where could this Chang'an City fall into the hands of his father?

Looking at the situation outside the city, I made up my mind. Although Sima Wang had some talent, he actually gathered these many soldiers and horses out of nothing and came to the outside of Chang'an City, but he could not solve the shortcomings of his chaotic command, disorderly actions, and lack of preparation. There is no need to worry, the most important thing at the moment is the internal troubles of the armed guard camp.

The first is not to let the Wuwei battalion capture the city gate, and the second is not to let them hurt the palace. Third, this battle needs to be resolved quickly, otherwise after a long time, the news will come out, causing the front line to collapse, and our army will be in danger.

The only way to do this is to quickly defeat the Wuwei Battalion.

At that moment, I ordered Pufa to replace Li Yan to fight against the Wei general, and let Li Yan command the defense of the city, there was Li Yan at the head of the city, and there was Pufa at the city gate, I no longer worried about the loss of the city gate, but I went to Jianzhang Palace. There are mostly civil officials in the Jianzhang Palace, and if the city is broken, it is a huge loss to hurt one person at will. The Li brothers escorted me and rushed down to the city and rushed to the Jianzhang Palace. When the siege guards saw me, they rushed towards me, and I held the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, commanding and firing arrows. Although there are many masters in the Tiger Guard Battalion, it is difficult to resist the power of crossbow arrows, and they can't get close for a while. Behind the back, I suddenly heard a broken cry of Pufa, and when I turned around, it was Pufa who knocked down Xu Hun's knife head with a demon giant pestle, and several armed guard soldiers rushed up to prevent Pufa from continuing to attack, Pufa waved the giant pestle, roaring again and again, and it was unstoppable.

In a blink of an eye, I came to the gate of the palace, only did I see that the palace door was not closed tightly, but it was opened. What surprised me even more was that my father sat at the head of the city in a high-end manner, commanding Ruyi. Under his command, the old ministers and generals who had shouted that their backs and legs were sore in the previous dynasty were all wearing helmets and armor, holding bows and crossbows, and arranging the two compartments majestically. Hesse and the guards formed an eight-array diagram, making it difficult for the Tiger Guard Battalion to move an inch. The family members of each province and department gathered together, guarded under the palace, and tore apart with the military guard battalion. Occasionally, the enemy broke through the resistance and rushed to the city gates, where they died instantly under the bows and crossbows of these veterans. The father was holding two swords, directing the battle, and laughing.

In the crowd, there was a woman, riding a red horse and holding a spear, rampage, and everywhere Wei Jun went, he avoided everything. Behind her, dozens of women finished their strong outfits, and their voices were not weaker than men.

Most of my heart was relieved, and it was even more relieved to see my father's spirit getting better at this time. But his spirit is always good and bad, and he doesn't know how long his body can last this time. And those female soldiers surprised me even more, I only suspected that Sun Shangxiang's female barracks had reappeared, and then pointed to the female general and asked: "Where did such a powerful woman come out?" ”

Li Sheng was surprised: "Your Highness, what are you talking about?" You don't know? That's the crown princess! ”

"Constellation!" I opened my eyes wide, it was not my newlywed crown princess, she looked so heroic in makeup, not at all like the delicate little daughter in front of me, the spear flashed, like ten thousand silver threads, those Xu men knights actually trapped her.

Counting, until now, I have only a handful of time alone with her, many times I am busy with military and political affairs in the palace, occasionally go back, but also the night is quieter, tired and fall asleep, I have never seen her in the daytime, and I don't know that she still has such skills. At this moment, my heart couldn't help but pound. Good Xingcai, she really deserves to be the daughter of the third uncle, and she is worthy of being my Liu Chan's wife.

"Close! Don't let the thieves escape! I yelled, loaded ten short arrows into the box, and shot towards the people of the Wuwei camp, and the guards around me lined up in eight formations and stepped forward, and the Li brothers protected each other left and right. The Wuwei battalion was attacked on both sides, and they were caught off guard for a while, and they were in chaos.

Suddenly, an enemy shook his hand, and a chain hammer flew out of the crowd and struck Starlight. I was so shocked that my heart almost flew out. Xingcai was like a long eye behind his back, and the back of the spear was horizontal, and with a bang, the hammer flicked away. I aimed at the enemy general with a crossbow, and the crowd was chaotic, hitting the general in the back of the heart. That will pounce on you. Starlight's eyes flashed, and when she saw me, her face turned crimson. The spear stabbed at the enemy again.

The defeat of the enemy army is inevitable, the guards I brought are the first to bow and crossbow, and the military guard battalion advocates light and fast, without thick armor, at this time was forced to be in a small place in front of the city gate, a skill is difficult to display, under the fire of ten thousand arrows, one after another arrow fell to the ground.

They shouted and struck forward like moths throwing themselves into flames, and their feelings were extremely tragic.

I shouted, "There is no way back, and if you don't surrender quickly, when!" ”

The first person said: "I am waiting for the grace of the country, today's major events will not be successful, and there will be death, why bother to say more!" ”

With a wave of my hand, a round of arrows was fired, blood splattered, and the enemy army was less than a hundred. I paused, stopped releasing the arrow, and shouted again: "You also have parents and brothers, wives and children, put down your weapons, I can spare you and not die!" ”

The man was covered in blood and had several arrows in his body, but he didn't hear my words, and his mouth was still angry and shouted, "Rush! ”

I turned around and walked towards the gate of Jianzhang Palace, and Hesse's voice behind me was as stiff as iron: "Release the arrow!" ”

Walking past Xingcai, I stomped slightly, and said, "You, very good." ”

Xingcai blushed and lowered her head.

I walked up to the city quickly and came to my father: "Father, the son is not filial, so he made the thief enter the city, shocked the father, and asked the father to punish the crime." ”

The father laughed and said, "You did a good job. It was beyond my expectation that the civil strife would be leaning towards Russia, and that the thieves would be in a hurry, risking arrows and stones, and not being afraid of difficulties. Get up. He took my hand, asked me to get up, and whispered in my ear: "Ji Han is in your hands, I am completely relieved." Take me back to the palace if I haven't done any nonsense. ”

The two of us walked back hand in hand, and my father waved to his ministers: "Do a good job, don't alarm me with anything." Ji Han's big ship is very stable! ”

When the ministers heard this, they showed a look of relief and excitement, as if they were not afraid of anything. My heart was also grounded in that moment. Behind me, there is still my father, although he is old and confused, but he will always be like a big mountain, firmly behind me, standing up when I need it most, so that I can let go and fight without worries.

"And," said the Emperor to his ministers, "your generals have done well this time, and they are all good men. Don't take it back, let Adou use it for a few days. ”
