Chapter 35: Seize the North Gate of the Royal City

Easily solved Han Sui, Liao Weikai and Wang Xiang joined forces, and approached the east of the Acropolis of the royal capital overnight, according to Zhang Xian's intentions, they did not hide their movements, lit torches and advanced with great fanfare, more than 60,000 miscellaneous troops, not to mention how much combat effectiveness there is, the momentum alone is incredible, one torch per person, more than ten miles of land is clear, no need to scout close to investigate, dozens of miles away, standing on a high place can see clearly.

Zhao Wu got the military report, which made him, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, a little confused, and studied it with Zhao Fei, a military officer, and came to two conclusions: first, this reinforcement general was an idiot, and second, he was suspicious of the army's plan.

"Could this be all the reinforcements?" Zhao Weiyi wondered.

"The scouts came to report, these are some reinforcements, and some are still nearly a hundred miles away from here, and there are a lot of people but they are in a mess, and it will not be possible to see the situation for a while. Zhao Junshen looked at the disc newspaper and sneered.

"There has been no war in the north for a long time, the standing army of the four cities is only more than 50,000, the Tuntian army is calculated according to 40,000 per city, 160,000, plus the standing army of 210,000, more than double us, but it is a group of rabble, there is no need to worry, the most important thing now is to pay attention to the 100,000 horses in the west of Yunnan City, if they advance lightly, they can reach in five days, we have been here for almost 20 days, and we have lost a third of the people, but we can't resist the elite of the western Yunnan city. ”

Zhao Wu didn't care about the four northern cities coming to help, he had only left Wangcheng for five years, he knew very well about the deployment of the four northern cities five years ago, even if it changed too much after five years, one is that there are no good generals in the four northern cities, and the other is that Su Yu does not pay much attention to the four northern cities, if the four northern cities have some background in the army, it belongs to Dansu City, where after all, it depends on the Li State, but Han Sui was arranged to be the city lord, so an idiot and greedy person, not only will the strength not increase in five years, but will fall.

"I don't know what happened to the uncle, what progress has been made in the men and horses sent by King Su (Zhao Su, the lord of the Southern Barbarian State) to support, the Wa State in the east is afraid that it will not be able to count on it, and the Wuwei State in the west is still holding its troops, alas..."Zhao Weiyi sighed.

"Well, your uncle doesn't have to worry about it, after operating for so many years, he can't deal with the brave and unscrupulous prince, then he has also failed your grandfather's expectations (Zhao Su and Zhao Wen, Zhao Wu are half-siblings, Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu are concubines), as for King Su's soldiers and horses, don't expect too much, they are out of the rainforest, and they have no combat power in the plains, Wuwei Kingdom is beyond reproach, we successfully capture Basu City, they will quickly send troops, otherwise hehe.." Zhao Wu analyzed thoroughly, and Zhao Fei nodded in agreement.

"It seems that we are involved in the whole body, Su Wei's reinforcements are coming, although they are a rabble, but if Zhang Xian, the first warrior of Shunyi City, also comes, he will have to guard against it. "Zhao Weiyi is not a gentleman, he has been training on the battlefield with his father for five years in his twenties, wise and strong.

"Hehe, that kid is a fierce enemy, but don't worry too much, he was seriously stabbed, the revenge army suffered heavy losses, and it is not a short time to recover. Zhao Wu didn't care about Zhang Xian.

"That's right, our spies lurking in Wangcheng reported, Zhang Xian came to Wangcheng for the first time, and it seems that he has completely recovered from his injuries on the surface, I think, he is doing it for Su Yu to see, he was so seriously injured, and he recovered in less than a month, that is really a god, his intention should be to get Su Yu's help, it seems that Su Yu was very disappointed in him, ignored him, and then returned to Shunyi City in a gloomy manner, haha.." Zhao Fei was right, on the surface, Su Xian did not see Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian stayed in Basu City for a long time, and then he brought ten guards with him when he left, which was indeed very desolate.

"Father, give me 10,000 men, and tomorrow I will eat those reinforcements. Zhao Weiyi said with a smile.

"Well, but don't be careless, you should understand the truth that ants bite and kill like this, tomorrow I will attack the south gate and the west gate with all my might, you transfer 5,000 people from the north gate and the east gate to support the east acropolis, it is better to solve the reinforcements, if you can't solve it, you can block them for half a day, if nothing happens, you should be able to break the city tomorrow." Zhao Wu agreed to Zhao Weiyi's request to fight.

At the beginning of autumn and August in the year 379 of the lunar calendar (according to the Chinese lunar calendar), the morning fog was very large, the Shenwei army marched after a night of rapid marching, although one-third of the people were left behind, but Zhang Xian was still satisfied with the result, after a short rest, he ate some dry food, and was about to prepare to encircle and annihilate the rebels of the two acropolises, suddenly there was a change, Zhang Xian urgently ordered Liu Yong to press the troops and wait to observe, the morning fog was full and he couldn't see what was happening, according to the plan Zhang Xian wanted to solve the danger of the two acropolis in the north and west, and open the north gate, but the scout came with news that the defenders of the west acropolis surrendered to the rebels, and there were a large number of rebels under the west city, if you want to meet others, not to mention that it will be crushed with one blow, it is almost the same, and the momentum is not as good as others, then concentrate on attacking one place with all your strength.

After waiting for a while, the neighing of horses outside the north gate gradually faded away, and the scout reported to Zhang Xian in great surprise: the rebels besieging the acropolis had withdrawn, and many people had also withdrawn from the north city gate, and it was initially judged that there were less than 5,000 people left in the camp.

Zhang Xian sent someone to contact the Acropolis guards, and after a while, Zhang Ge brought a middle-aged man.

After meeting, Zhang Xian inquired about the situation, this captain surnamed Peng didn't know much, they were 500 people, more than 1,000 people surrounded him, although the rebels have not attacked, but they did not dare to be careless, they have been nervous and vigilant, because they were surrounded, and they lost contact with the outside world, and they did not know the situation of the rebels around Wangcheng.

Zhang Xian was disappointed and waved him away.

About half an hour later, he vaguely heard the sound of fighting from the east, Zhang Xian patted his head and suddenly understood, it must be Liao Weikai and Wang Xiang Their actions had an effect, Zhang Xian didn't expect them to progress so fast, thinking that they would fall behind if they didn't get it, don't look at Liao Weikai who went first, but they made a detour and the road was still farther than them.

How did Zhang Xian know that Liao Weikai and Wang Xiang cooperated quite tacitly, both of them were very talented generals, since they were suspicious soldiers, they had to let the rebels know about them, so the two of them almost didn't beat gongs and drums, each of them had a torch, bright and bright, and they walked faster at night than during the day.

"Order, act as planned, and make sure not to let go of a single rebel. ”

"Wow. ”

Such a fog, the eagle pigeon is useless, the people on the eagle tower on the ground can not see the eagle, although the eagle eye is sharp, but it is useless to find the ground target, at this time you have to rely on people to pass the message, God-given opportunity, as long as you don't let go of the rebels to report the news, Zhang Xian can use this limited time to deploy and contact the defenders of the north city.

The siege and annihilation battle at the north gate ended quickly, and no one was let go, which mainly relied on the rapid action of the two pioneers of Tong Kui and Tong Ka, and before the rebels left behind understood what was going on, the two pioneers rushed into the camp, Liu Yong led people to surround the rebel camp in time, nearly 100,000 people against more than 5,000 people, without the enemy's knowledge, without a complete victory, then the collective hit the city wall and died.

Dong came to the north gate to call the city, because of the fog, Zhang Xian did not dare to let others approach, and it would be troublesome to cause a misunderstanding.

"Listen, I'm Dong Yidao, the general of Turin Hou Yang Wu, and I asked you Captain Yuan to come to see me, well, don't go quickly. Dong Yidao saw that the defenders in the city were stunned, and shouted.

During this time, the rebels in Beicheng made a feint attack on the North City Gate from time to time, making them frightened birds, the sound of the fight came suddenly, and it ended quickly, and they vaguely heard the noisy voices outside the North Gate, as if there were many people, and the defenders of the North City showed a look of despair, Dong Yidao appeared inexplicably, which really made them stunned for a while.

"It's really Marquis Dong, great, reinforcements are coming. Yuan Hui was actually in the city gate tower, Dong scared him out with a knife and a throat, and when he looked at it, he was really out of the city to ask for reinforcements, and he was in a good mood.

"Don't open the gates yet. ”

"Yes, go and open the gates. ”

The name of Marquis Dong is better than any token, and if he were someone else, Yuan Hui would not dare to open the city gate rashly.

The city gate was opened and the drawbridge was lowered, and Yuan Hui led people to greet him, and at this time, Zhang Xian and the generals also came behind Dong Houye.

After being polite, Yuan Hui invited Zhang Xian into the city, but at this moment, a herald hurriedly came; ”

"What's wrong with the South Gate?" Yuan Hui was shocked.

"The outer city of the south gate has been broken by the rebels, and the inner city is also in danger, the king personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and was wounded by a stray arrow, please send troops to help quickly. The herald said urgently.

"Report, Captain Su urgently ordered the North Gate Army to assist the West Gate. ”

"Simon..."

"The outer city of the West Gate has been broken, and Taiwei Su has retreated to the inner city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold. ”

"Master Hou, look?" Yuan Hui was stunned.

"General Shenwei, please quickly allocate 20,000 men to me, and I will go to support the South Gate. Hearing that Su Yu was injured, Dong Yidao was anxious.

"Zhang Ge, there are horses' guards left, you quickly take 20,000 Chinese troops with Hou Ye to support the south gate, Liu Yong, there are horses' guards left, take 20,000 people to support the west gate. Zhang Xian waved his hand and said, leaving the cavalry Zhang Xian useful, anyway, after entering the city, a few cavalry will not play a role.

Dong took the lead with a knife and a horse, Zhang Ge followed, 20,000 Chinese troops passed through the city gate, and rushed to the south gate, followed by Liu Yong's 20,000 followers.

"Captain Cheng is here. ”

"In. ”

"Quickly gather all the cavalry in the army, leave half behind, and all the rest make a detour to Xicheng to harass the rebels. ”

"Wow. ”

"General Fang (Fang Ming) organized the rest of the people to build a defense based on the rebel camp and contain the rear army. ”

"Wow. ”

Waiting for Fang Ming to transfer the people away, the remaining people were less than 500 cavalry and his more than 200 guards, Zhang Xian personally led these people to the east gate to meet Liao Weikai and them, and asked Yuan Hui to inform the guards of the east gate before leaving, and receive reinforcements in time.
