"Have all the pacification soldiers been sent out from all the districts in the city?" Jia Qu asked, standing at the north gate of Huguan Pass, frowning at the dead soldiers in the city gate.
"They have all been dispatched." The military commander on the side replied with his hands raised.
Jia Qu nodded.
Such a large formation will definitely cause panic among the people in the city. There are no soldiers patrolling and shouting. Maybe these people are hot-headed or want to fish in troubled waters...
Now patrols have begun to take to the streets, forcing every household to stay at home. Anyone seen moving around on the street will be shot without mercy.
Chengnan was handed over to Colonel Huang Chenghuang to handle. Although he was a little worried, there was no way to take care of that side now. He could only settle the matters here first.
Yang Zan still needs to be dealt with.
This is an opportunity that Yang Zan has been waiting for. Isn't it an opportunity for him?
In a night of chaos, only the winner is qualified to comment on this inexplicable riot, while the loser will be buried under the loess with the truth forever.
Although Jia Qu had some guesses just now, they were just general guesses. Based on the actual situation, there were only a few ways to send out signals from inside the city gate cave.
Judging from the reaction of the last person, it seems that my guess is right, but...
After all, Yang Zan is a calm person, otherwise he would not have waited outside the city until now before launching his attack. Therefore, a simple signal may not be able to trick them all in, and some other arrangements are still needed.
Jia Qu scratched his eyebrows, pondered for a while, thought of something, and then began to give orders.
At this time, outside the north city, Yang Zan was waiting with his troops a little anxiously. The hustle and bustle in the south of the city and the soaring fire were like thousands of kitten paws, scratching in their hearts, but they had to wait here quietly.
.
Yang Zan knew that his men were different from Fang Yue's soldiers. At least Fang Yue's soldiers had been on the battlefield, but most of his men were recruited some time ago, that is, they had undergone some superficial training.
I haven't had any actual combat experience yet, so I can't be careless.
Time passed little by little, and just when Yang Zan thought that Yang Sanlang had failed, and began to think about whether to take advantage of the chaos to attack, suddenly a sharp-eyed soldier shouted happily: "Please look at the city!"
The door seems to be open!"
Yang Zan rubbed his aching eyes and looked carefully. Under the firelight in the south of Huguan City, some light seemed to shine through the dark northern gate of Huguan City.
There was a man who seemed to be half rickety, struggling to get out of the city gate while holding a torch, and then shook the torch left and right a few times, but did not send the signal agreed with Yang Zan, and then suddenly fell to the ground.
The torch also fell to the ground...
"It seems... a fight... started!"
Some sharp-eyed soldiers in the front saw figures and firelight flickering in the city gate, as if someone was fighting inside the gate, and they couldn't help but shout out in a panicked tone.
"Marquis Wen Jun, bring two hundred people... no, bring four hundred people forward to meet Saburo! If there is any incident, send someone to report it!" Yang Zan didn't have time to think too much, and immediately ordered people to go to support. After all, the city gate
It is the top priority. Whether or not the city gate can be opened smoothly is a huge difference for Yang Zan.
Wen Junhou is a member of the Wen family and was once a member of the army stationed at Huguan, so he has some understanding of the terrain of Huguan. More importantly, the Wen family also hopes to capture Huguan to wash away the shame of the past, so
Naturally, the goals of Yang Zan and Yang Zan are the same, so Yang Zan does not have to worry about Wen Junhou having any second thoughts in it.
Therefore, even without the agreed signal, Yang Zan saw the fighting inside the city gate and sent his soldiers up. However, Yang Zan was somewhat cautious and only sent one-third of his troops.
Four hundred people are enough to support Yang Sanlang in a battle for the city gate. On the other hand, they can also fully detect the situation of the city gate...
Marquis Wen Jun ordered four hundred soldiers, shouted, and rushed towards the north gate of Huguan.
Waves of alarm gongs also sounded above the North City Gate, and then some people shouted in confusion and shot some arrows from the top of the city.
"Poof! Poof!"
"Ahhhhh!"
"I've been hit by an arrow! I've been hit by an arrow!"
Although there were not many arrows, their accuracy seemed to be good. From time to time, soldiers on Marquis Wen's left and right were struck by arrows and fell down, screaming in panic, causing a commotion in the queue.
"Go forward! Run quickly! It will be safe once you enter the city!" Wen Junhou waved his sword and shouted loudly to the left and right, "Shoot at the slow ones!"
Encouraged by Marquis Wen, these newly recruited soldiers regained order. Each of them spread their legs and ran towards the city as fast as they could.
Wen Junhou rushed to the city gate and took a look. He saw a corpse lying on the ground in front of the gate, with several arrows stuck in his back, and the torch rolled aside...
"Hurry up! Close the city gate quickly!"
Before Wen Junhou could make a careful identification, he heard some chaotic footsteps coming from the other side of the city gate, and some people were getting closer and closer, shouting and yelling.
Marquis Wen Jun was so excited that he quickly raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Come here! Kill us! Seize the city gate! Whoever enters the city first will be the first to do so!"
After hearing the order, the soldiers rushed towards the city gate with cheers and cheers, and met the defenders of Huguan head-on.
The city gate opening is actually not big, about the width of two and a half carriages. The half-open city gate has become the focus of competition between the two sides. The defenders of Huguan are blocking the city gate opening, and there are all spearmen and more than thirty long spearmen.
The spears kept poking, and the first batch of Marquis Wen who rushed into the city gate had all kinds of weapons. Naturally, short weapons suffered a big loss, and a group of them were stabbed down in an instant.
A Yang Zan soldier holding a saber frantically used the saber to strike at the spears that kept coming, and tried his best to dodge backwards. However, he was forced to change direction by the crowd coming from behind, and he had no choice but to change the direction.
Step by step, he approached the killing range of the spear. Facing more and more sharp spear points, he couldn't help but let out a desperate roar. He was immediately stabbed in the abdomen by a spear and fell to the ground.
Above the ground...
Although the spear soldiers caused great damage, after all, Wen Junhou had many people, so he had to fight and retreat, and finally withdrew from the city gate cave, forming an arc-shaped siege outside the city gate cave.
Yang Zan's twenty or so soldiers wanted to rush out of the door together, but most of them were shot down by a burst of arrows. The remaining soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated back to the door, causing an impact.
Many other soldiers did not dare to rush forward rashly, but huddled behind their comrades with shields...
"Come on! Come on!"
Marquis Wen Jun was so angry that he almost vomited out his blood. These new recruits were so scared! They retreated at every turn. They only knew how to sell ditches, so how could they win Huguan City?!
Wen Junhou, not Wen Hou... I used to read a book written by Wen Daxia... and there was a Wen family in the book who specialized in poisoning... and a Tang family... At that time, I thought Wen Wen and Tang were the surnames of the Sichuan and Yunnan generations...
...but the Wen family originated in the north...The surname Tang was very widespread at that time, perhaps related to the Tang Dynasty. Even many ethnic minorities later changed their surname to Tang...
