That night, Luo Tianchu lay on the roof, listening to the water of the Yellow River, looking at the vast Milky Way, and pondering the last words of Gao Qingyi in his heart. He got up and sat up, looked at the blurry lights of the golden camp on the other side, and muttered, "Victory or defeat may not be known on the battlefield. This sentence must have a meaning, and it may have something to do with the movements of Sticky Han, as long as it is broken, it will definitely be revealed.

If Gao Qingyi knew that his words would cause him to think so deeply, he would definitely regret it very much. Luo Tianchu calculated that the day of Sticky Han's departure was not short, and there must be some conspiracy brewing, and the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became, so he sorted out his thoughts at the moment, started thinking from the beginning, took out Sticky Han's letter, and read it carefully by the moonlight, reading and reading it in his heart, and silently recited, "The army is composed of 30,000 of my Jurchen elites, 50,000 troops of Bohai, Liao, and Song Dynasty, and 20,000 allied troops of Qi. "There are 20,000 Qi allied troops, but there is not a single Qi soldier in the opposite camp, where are they?" Luo Tianchu's heart immediately twitched, what a terrible thing it was for the 20,000 troops to disappear in the heart land.

He immediately went back to gather everyone and expressed the worries in his heart, Lu Fei looked at the map on the long case, and examined: "If you want to sneak attack us, the only way is the forbidden ditch, and the forbidden ditch has many broken walls, hundreds of zhang drop, rugged and difficult to travel, and the twelve beacon towers along the way are also guarded by sergeants, if Sticky Han marches from here, it is impossible not to be discovered." Luo Tianchu muttered: "What if Sticky Han's target is not Tongguan at all?" Lu Feiqi said: "If it's not Tongguan, where is it?"

Luo Tianchu said word for word: "Chang'an." Lu Fei was shocked: "Will he attack Chang'an?" Luo Tianchu said: "If it were me, I would definitely attack Chang'an." Because Chang'an is where our army's grain is located, and it is also the foundation of our fort. If Chang'an is lost, Tongguan will be unjust. Lu Fei said: "There is no way around the mountains of Qinling, and it is impossible to fly across it. Luo Tianchu said: "There is no road to pave the road, and no bridge can be built without a bridge." The cliffs can also be climbed over the rocks, the thorny mountain road can be opened and widened, and there are mountain springs and animals in the Qinling Mountains, and his troops do not need to send them at all. There are also all the materials for paving roads and bridges, and he must have advanced while building roads, so he delayed for a long time. Gu Yao said: "Even if they capture Chang'an, it will be a lonely city, won't it become a turtle in an urn?" Luo Tianchu sighed: "It's just the opposite." Chang'an is my granary in Guanzhong, and the only grain stored is enough for them to eat for a year. What's more important is that Chang'an is the only grain road leading to Tongguan, we have no food can only withdraw the army, at that time the army has no fighting spirit, the Jin army is only afraid of annihilation under the attack on both sides. Lu Fei said: "Chang'an has 70,000 garrisons, the walls are high and the city is strong, and 20,000 people can conquer it." Besides, the mountain road is rugged, and you will not carry siege equipment, so how can you attack the city?"

Luo Tianchu said: "Half of the soldiers in Chang'an are still new troops, and no one thought that the enemy army would fall from the sky, and it would be no different if they were defenseless. As for the siege equipment, it can be made of trees in the Qinling Mountains, as long as a few ladders and a few siege vehicles are built, and the city gate will be broken. Now the military division is seriously ill, and the officials of Chang'an do not understand military affairs, and they are not sticky opponents at all. Lu Fei said: "The castle master is thoughtful. So what should I do now?" Luo Tianchu said: "I will immediately take 10,000 soldiers to help Chang'an, and ask the master to continue to sit in Tongguan and hold on." Lu Fei said: "The subordinates receive the order." Luo Tianchu said: "Brother Dongguo and I led a thousand cavalry first, and Brother Gu and Brother Yan led the infantry to follow. Du Cai and the two assisted the master in defending the city. The generals answered in unison.

Luo Tianchu and others went down to the city tower to gather military horses, and there were only 1,000 cavalry, and they were quickly assembled. Luo Tianchu and Dongguo Wendao led the cavalry to rush out of the west gate and went straight to Chang'an. Chang'an is nearly 300 miles away from Tongguan, and it can be reached in three hours if it is fast. Luo Tianchu already had an ominous premonition on the horse, and he couldn't go back with wings. Although his black lightning is fast, he can't travel at full speed in order to walk with the soldiers, and Dongguo Wendao also hopes to fight with the Jin army.

After galloping for an hour, I suddenly saw a horse on the avenue walking slowly, and the soldiers on the horse drooped their heads and staggered. Luo Tianchu said in a loud voice: "Who is ahead?" The knight shuddered, looked up wearily, and dismounted.

Luo Tianchu saw that he was riding a war horse, signaled the troops to slow down, and flew to the front to dismount, and saw that the man was wearing the clothes of the Blood Knife Castle, covered in blood, and with two arrow feathers tied on his back, his heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother, what happened?" The knight was not very old, his face was covered with blood, and when he saw Luo Tianchu, his eyes were shining again, and he said, "You...... Are you the lord of Luobao?" Luo Tianchu said: "It's me, brother, you are safe." The knight endured the pain and said, "I...... I broke through to ask for help, Chang'an has been attacked by the Qi army, the city gate has been smashed open, the two families are engaged in street fighting, and we have suffered heavy casualties. Luo Tianchu only felt that his head was clouded, and the most feared thing still happened, and at this time, he needed to be firm-willed, think of resolving the crisis, and beat his spirit: "Thank you for your hard work." He said to the soldiers behind him: "Leave one person to take care of this brother and return to Tongguan, and everyone will spare no time to reinforce Chang'an at full speed!"

They galloped at full speed for two hours, and finally arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, where they heard the sound of killing in the city from a distance, and the firelight reflected the sky red. There was a mess at the gates of the city, and two damaged siege engines were parked. The bodywork, rams, wheels, handles, deflegates are all made of tree trunks, simple and familiar. The wide city gate was black and scorched, and there were piles of charred corpses lying in the caves of the city, among which there were many people in the bloody knife fort, and there were few soldiers, and the streets were full of blood and limbs, and many houses were on fire, and the homeless people fled in all directions.

Many people were already injured, and a child trapped in a fire room cried loudly and begged his parents to come and rescue him. The parents wanted to rush into the fire to save people several times with tears in their eyes, but they were forced out by the flames, listening to the child's tearing screams, the parents couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in desperately, but at this moment the house collapsed, and no one came out again. Luo Tianchu was like a knife, secretly hating himself, if he had discovered the conspiracy of Sticky Han half a day earlier, such a tragic scene would not have occurred, and he would have to bear all the responsibility.

The streets and alleys were full of small fights, or dozens, or hundreds, killed in the dark, and people turned on their backs. There was a large-scale battle in the middle of the avenue, and 200 Qi soldiers were besieging dozens of volunteer troops, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties, and they were about to be completely annihilated. Luo Tianchu suddenly led his troops to kill, cut melons and vegetables for a while, and slaughtered the two hundred Qi soldiers. When the rebels saw reinforcements from the castle owner, their morale was greatly boosted.

Luo Tianchu asked them: "Who is in command of our army, and where is the main force engaged in the battle." A soldier said: "It was Cui Taishou who was in charge of the overall situation, and after the city was broken, he led the army to retreat into the imperial city." We didn't have time to retreat, so we fought in the streets. Luo Tianchu said: "Where is the main force of Sticky Han now?" The soldier said: "It is attacking the city under the imperial city." Luo Tianchu said: "Okay, you go to help the other brothers, and I will go to the imperial city for reinforcements." ”

When they first arrived in Chang'an, Luo Tianchu had traveled to the imperial city, but they never thought that the enemy army would attack Chang'an, so they did not renovate the walls of the imperial city, which is now dilapidated, and there are no equipment to defend the city. However, it occupies an extremely wide area, and Qi soldiers can only concentrate their firepower to attack the east and west gates. Thousands of torches under the city illuminated the surroundings as bright as day, the soldiers were climbing the ladder to attack the city, and the city gate was also being bombarded by the collision car. The soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort resisted bravely on the city wall, overthrowing the ladder of Qi soldiers again and again, and then chopping the enemy who attacked the city tower into pulp, and Cui Xing could be heard from a distance commanding the soldiers to release arrows to the city, but the Qi soldiers were equipped with shields, and the lethality was limited.
