Smoke was everywhere outside Taiyuan City, wars were raging, and the sound of killings could be heard for more than ten miles, but the people inside the city were silent, not even daring to take a breath.
Even the refugees below the city who had been requisitioned to provide logistics were looking at the fierce battle in the city, with panic, determination, and confusion in their eyes, but mostly helpless.
Helpless about the world, helpless about the situation at hand, helpless about the unknown life and death in the future.
But the soldiers on the city were not so helpless. They only saw blood, the blood of the enemy. Only by killing the enemy in front of them could they save their lives and the people of the city.
Li Zicheng encouraged his thieves to fight by plundering for three days without confiscating the proceeds.
In addition to the heavy reward promises made by Chang Yu and Zhu Shenxuan, the officers and soldiers on the city also have a sense of responsibility that they had not realized before... This is the kind of military glory and sense of responsibility that Chang Yu has subtly instilled in them in recent times.
Sense of responsibility.
It is our duty to protect our country and our country, and this is the duty that a soldier should have!
Of course, this sense of responsibility has just sprouted and has not yet been deeply rooted. Their level of consciousness is only: I am a decent person, you are a villain, and I will kill you!
No matter what, both the enemy and ourselves were as if they had been beaten to death. The battle was so brutal that even veteran Zhou Yuji, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was horrified.
At this time, he was blocking fire counterattack near Xiaonanmen, and it was effective.
A large number of trebuchets and nearly a thousand archers cooperated with artillery from the southeast to concentrate their firepower and attacked the rebel army behind the formation. After a stalemate for half a stick of incense, the officers and soldiers finally took advantage of the condescending geographical advantage to suppress the rebel army's firepower and broke through.
Its attempt to expand the front of the city.
Niu Yong's firepower on the west wing also began to carry out targeted strikes against the rebel siege troops, effectively curbing the rebel offensive and mitigating the tide of rebel troops who boarded the city.
At the same time, Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin, who were guarding the North City, began to gradually transfer their troops to the East and West cities. After all, as the Nancheng rebels launched the final blow, the cannon fodder outside the North City didn't even bother to show off.
The guards at Yinghui Gate in the East City and Fucheng Gate in the West City have also begun to send troops towards the South City, because the only one still conducting a decent feint attack is the Zhenwu Gate in the West City, and almost all the rebels at the other city gates have been defeated.
They were transferred to the main city gates, namely Yichun Gate at the east gate and Yingze Gate at the south city!
The forces of both sides began to gather towards the main attack gate, launching the most intense and brutal fight in history. One was determined to break through Taiyuan City without leaving any chickens and dogs behind, while the other wanted to use the Taiyuan City defenses to consume the opponent's strength and strength to the maximum extent.
War preparation.
The fierce battle in the east city is still going on. Chang Yu's interception tactics effectively control the situation, but it does not only prevent the officers and soldiers from being passive. The rebel army's offensive continues, and there are still intermittently enemy troops boarding the city. In order to cooperate with the fierce attack on the South Gate, the rebel army at Yichun Gate
The commander should be willing to go all out and hold on to it, trying his best to hold off the officers and soldiers here to reduce the burden on the South Gate and gain time.
The section of Nancheng, from the Xiaonan Gate in the east to the Southwest Corner Tower in the west, was where the bandits attacked the most fiercely and fought fiercely. At the same time, I don’t know how many people died and how many people bled...
Chang Yu and Zhu Shenxuan fought side by side, without any guards or soldiers. The two joined the battle with knives, killing and slashing back to back. At first, Chang Yu was in a hurry to take care of Zhu Shenxuan, but as the two of them cooperated tacitly,
Afterwards, it became much easier.
It was during this process that Zhu Shenxuan realized why people are so different.
After a cup of tea, Zhu Shenxuan was exhausted. Chang Yu had to protect him from the battle and hid in a corner of the inner city wall to breathe heavily.
"How long do we have to wait? If this continues... I'm just afraid of danger!" Zhu Shenxuan breathed heavily, with a worried look on his face.
Chang Yu looked solemn, looking at everything in front of him, looking at the east gate in the distance. Suddenly, as if he had made a decision, he clenched his fist and said, "Go to the city!"
"I don't..." As soon as Zhu Shenxuan opened his mouth, Chang Yu picked him up with one hand.
"Let's go down together," Chang Yu said, and Zhu Shenxuan stopped struggling.
The passage to the upper city was crowded with officers and soldiers taking turns, and the two of them finally squeezed in. The city under the South Gate was crowded with people. There were reinforcements from other city gates, and there were also exhausted soldiers who had just come down from the city.
"Sir" Chang Yu was stopped as soon as he left the city. It was Jia Waixiong and several soldiers from the Tengxiang Guard. It turned out that they had been ordered to go down to the city to rest, but they never dared to go far.
"Where are the others?" Chang Yu asked.
"Jiekou" Jia Waixiong said quickly.
Just like Xiaonanmen, which faces a street called Xiaonanmen Street, Dananmen also has a Dananmen Street.
After hurriedly squeezing through the chaotic crowd, I saw a group of people lined up neatly at the street entrance. The first few people were Li Tiezhu, Tu Yuan, Tang Poshan, Cheng Ming and others.
Chang Yu was very satisfied. In such a chaotic situation, his troops could still maintain such a formation, which showed that they were extremely disciplined and well-trained. Luo Hu's Zhenshan Battalion could be as immovable as Mount Tai in the face of a powerful enemy.
It's the same reason why it's stable.
"Where's the war horse?" Chang Yu asked again.
Tu Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed towards due north. The dark streets not far away were full of war horses.
Chang Yu turned his head and took a long breath, looked at them, and said solemnly: "The governor suddenly had a bold idea."
"Isn't the factory supervisor going out of the city to kill the enemy?" Jia Waixiong suddenly bit his lip in excitement.
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "This is a dangerous move. I will not force you to do so. Those who are willing to follow me out of the station will assemble immediately."
Hold the grass! Tu Yuan and the others suddenly couldn't help but swear, but the expressions on their faces were extremely excited. Only Tang Potian looked slightly sensible: "Sir, are we the only ones?"
You must know that these troops are Chang Yu's elite, but their total number is less than 2,000. Including the injuries from the previous fierce battle, it is still less than 1,500. And with such a small force, Chang Yu actually wants to leave the city, which is a bit big.
ah!
"Of course it's more than that. I have reinforcements, but we are the only ones who can resist Daliang. Do you dare to go?" Chang Yu sneered.
As soon as the words were finished, everyone dispersed and ran toward the horses as if they had been given blood...
Damn it, is this how birds of a feather flock together?
Everyone knows that Chang Yu is warlike, but he doesn't want all of his subordinates to be like this.
"I'll go too." At this time, Zhu Shenxuan already knew what Chang Yu was going to do. This daring eunuch was going to be in danger again!
"No, this trip is extremely dangerous" Chang Yu flatly refused!
That's right, he was about to cause trouble again. Seeing the stalemate in the city, he became very worried and decided to take the risk. He led a group of troops to fight out from Yinghui Gate in the east city. First, he killed the rebels by surprise, and second, he made a surprise attack from behind.
, the bandit army at Yichun Gate in the East City will inevitably be defeated!
Once the crisis at Yichun Gate, which is the main attack point, is over, the pressure on the South Gate will suddenly disappear.
Of course, the dangers involved can be imagined. Historically, very few people went out of the city to fight when the enemy was attacking the city. Even if they did, they would take advantage of the situation when the enemy troops retreated or were exhausted. And it must be during the day, and it is unique at night.
.
But at this time, opening the door and leaving the city to fight when the rebel army's siege is at its most intense is definitely a huge risk, because there is a risk of being captured as soon as the city gate is opened, not to mention the various risks in the dark night.
No one dares to do this!
Because it is too dangerous, but Chang Yu is a very adventurous person.
In fact, at this time, he was fighting calmly on the city. Although the rebel army was attacking fiercely, they could only resist it for half an hour. If they could not attack for a long time, they would lose their strength and they would retreat. But this boy couldn't sit still.
Now, let’s have a big adventure.
But he did not allow others to take risks easily, especially Zhu Shenxuan.
Chang Yu's expression of refusal was serious and firm, so Zhu Shenxuan, who originally wanted to be playful and cute, had to change his words: "I can bring my servants to help in the battle. You have witnessed their fighting power with your own eyes."
Zhu Shenxuan makes another final effort!
"It's too late" Chang Yu shook his head!
Zhu Shenxuan's servants were blocking the enemy on the east city at this time. When he arrived, they would withdraw, arrange and delay the fighting. Moreover, even with the protection of his servants, Chang Yu would not agree to let him take that risk.
Seeing that Zhu Shenxuan was feeling depressed, Chang Yu turned his head and muttered to him a few times. Without saying a word, the guy pulled a horse, got on it, and drove away.
"Go and inform Beicheng Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin..." Chang Yu called another personal guard and said a few words.
The personal guards left quickly, and then, Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong, Li Tiezhu and others had gathered their troops, and more than a thousand cavalry were ready to go with murderous intent!
Chang Yu got on his horse and glanced at everyone: "At this point, our family doesn't have much nonsense. We only say one thing: kill the thieves and defend the country!"
"Kill the thieves and defend the country!" Tu Yuan and others shouted, their faces began to turn red and their eyes gleamed.
"Come out!" Chang Yu roared and headed straight for Yinghui Gate. (To be continued)
