Chapter 802: Crossing the Divine Martial Force
The fierce battle on the tower of the Shenwu Gate City continued, Ouyang Fenglan and a group of masters of the Ouyang Private Army desperately tried to control the situation of the city tower, and the Yulin guards frantically wanted to recapture the Shenwu Gate City Tower and annihilate the rebels who dared to come to rob the city tower on the city tower.
Of course, more importantly, if the Yulin guards lost the Shenwu Gate Tower, it would be equivalent to losing a passage. As Ouyang Fenglan led his troops to seize the city tower, more and more Ouyang private infantry and cavalry poured into the palace like a tide from under the Shenwu Gate, and under the personal leadership of Ouyang Changkong, they advanced towards the palace group in front.
If the Yulin guards can recapture the Shenwu Gate Tower, one is naturally to cut off Ouyang's private army and cut the army into two; the other is because they have recaptured the Shenwu Gate Tower, the Yulin Guards can quickly rush to the aid of the palace, otherwise they can only go along the city wall to the east and west gates and then enter the palace city to kill the thieves. In this way, it is bound to delay a lot of time, and the palace group in front will naturally be affected.
Shenmu Gate is the north gate of Miyagi, and those gates after entering from Shenwu Gate are all low castle towers or even small gates without castle towers like the north gate. Among the city gates, the Shunzhen Gate with the city tower, the Chengguang Gate and the archway gate surrounded by the Chengtian Gate, Yanhe Gate, and Jifu Gate can also play a certain role in blocking the enemy on the high ground, and the Tianyi Gate and the Kunning Gate a little further south are all walled gates without city towers, once the gate is breached, the inner court and the three palaces will be directly exposed to the blade of the Ouyang family's rebels.
The elite 2,000 people of the Yulin Guards were set up in the Qianqing Palace, and the Taihe Hall of the first hall of the three major halls was also set up with the main force of the 2,000 Yulin Guards, and the four major gates of the palace city, the Wumen, Shenwu Gate, the Donghua Gate, and the Xihua Gate were also arranged with 2,000 soldiers, so that only these six areas had already occupied the entire 60% of the Yulin Guards, and the remaining less than 8,000 people were scattered throughout the palace, so that the guards on the front line from the Shenwu Gate to the Qianqing Palace were too weak.
Ouyang Changkong once served as an official to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Governor of the Left, the Governor of the Metropolitan Mansion, and the secretary of the Commander's Department, who was ranked first among the top ten Governors of the Chinese Army, and was naturally clear about the defensive arrangements of the palace. And since he retired for a year or two, the deployment of the Yulin guards has not changed much, so he took advantage of the fact that the Yulin guards of the Shenwu Gate were dragged by Ouyang Fenglan, and the guards of the South Gate were insufficient and the Yulin guards were inconvenient to move, and led the army of Ouyang's private army to attack the Shunzhen Gate, which was not far from the Shenwu Gate.
Shenwu Gate and Shunzhen Gate are not far away, but the distance of more than 20 zhang, when Ouyang Fenglan led the troops to attack Shenwu Gate, there were also sporadic arrows shot at Shenwu Gate on the side of Shunzhen Gate, but the Yulin guards of Shenwu Gate and the masters of Ouyang's private army fought together, and the Yulin guards on Shunzhen Gate were afraid of shooting and injuring their own people, but they didn't dare to release arrows too hard.
However, now that the Ouyang private army is crowded with the open space between the Shenwu Gate and the Shunzhen Gate, the Yulin guards on the Shunzhen Gate are naturally no longer afraid, and use the bows and crossbows in their hands to face the Ouyang private soldiers under the city tower, and they don't aim anymore, they shoot directly with arrows, but it really works.
The soldiers of Ouyang's private army fell to the ground one after another, but with more and more of Ouyang's private army pouring into Shenwu Gate, coupled with the fact that the garrison on the tower of Shunzhenmen City was really weak, only about two or three hundred people, plus the consumption of arrows, the defensive position on the tower of Shunzhenmen City became more and more decadent, and the soldiers of Ouyang's private army carried more than a dozen long ladders that they didn't know where to grab, and they actually leaned on the wall of Shunzhenmen, and the soldiers of Ouyang's private army climbed along the long ladder towards the city wall.
Shunzhen Gate is located in the palace city, is a large inner land, generally no one will attack here, so this castle tower is not prepared any fire oil wood rolling stone to defend the city. The Feather Forest guards on the castle tower only allocated a part of their manpower, and they used their manpower to push those ladders, trying to knock them down. However, under each ladder, there are dozens of Ouyang private army soldiers to support, although the masters of the Yulin guards can use a dozen or ten Ouyang private soldiers, but in this wrestling with the long ladder as the battlefield, the Yulin guards are completely at a disadvantage.
The soldiers of Ouyang's private army climbed very fast, and there were only sporadic arrows above their heads, which posed no threat to them in the slightest. On the contrary, the spears poked down from the top of the city wall always caused great trauma to the soldiers of Ouyang's private army. Groups of soldiers of Ouyang's private army climbed the long ladder, but one by one they had to be killed by the spears and knives above, and fell off the long ladder and smashed straight down, smashing a group of their peers along the way.
However, with the excessive physical exertion of the defenders above, the threat faced by the soldiers of Ouyang's private army is getting smaller and smaller.
Finally, after a wrestling with a stick of incense, a soldier of Ouyang's private army turned onto the top of the city wall with the enemy's sword and gun. Although he was immediately stabbed to death by indiscriminate gunfire and his body was thrown down, it was like a signal, and more and more soldiers of Ouyang's private army climbed to the top of the city wall and engaged in a fierce battle with the Yulin guards of the imperial guard.
