Everyone in Guanlong has a sufficient understanding of the crisis of the current situation. Everyone knows that if they cannot capture Taiji Palace, they will not only face the backlash from the Sixth Army of the East Palace and the Youtun Guards, but they will also have to withstand Li Ji's hundreds of thousands of troops. A devastating blow to Chang'an.
Since ancient times, on the road to Mount Huashan, when everyone is willing to fight against the odds, this group of noble disciples who have been in Longguan for more than a hundred years will naturally be able to unleash a tyrannical fighting force far beyond ordinary times.
Everyone is lucky, and no one fishes in troubled waters. Countless Long disciples, who were involved in the battle that was about the survival of the family, the life and death of their wives and children, finally at the last moment, took out the courage to risk their lives and survive, and like the tide, they moved towards Chengtianmen launched a fierce attack on the front line.
All the soldiers braved the arrows at the top of the city. When the comrade in front of them fell, they stepped on his body and continued to charge. The robe beside them fell and they didn't even look at it. Everyone had red eyes and launched a wave of waves without fear of death. Waves of offensive, the solid walls of Tai Chi Palace are like rocks under the stormy waves, trembling and crumbling under the impact of blood and fire.
…
The Sixth Army of the East Palace was also furious. Although they had been trapped in the Taiji Palace for half a year, the number of soldiers was severely reduced, and the ordnance was damaged countless times. In particular, the psychology of the entire army was under unparalleled pressure. However, after holding the position for such a long time, the rebels continued to attack again and again. They were all dismantled one by one, and it took a third of the battle damage to hold on to this day. Who would be willing to be broken through the defense line and fall short?
Countless soldiers stood at the top of the city and fought bloody battles. The rebels climbed up the city top time and again along the ladder, but were repelled time and time again. Blood flowed and pooled on the dilapidated city head, and corpses were piled on top of each other. Nowhere to stay.
Every battlefield was spattered with blood and flesh. When the heavy rain stopped suddenly, the cruel war became intense in an instant. The two sides fought repeatedly around every city wall and every city brick.
Among them, the one with the greatest pressure is naturally the front line of Chengtianmen.
Twice, they lured the enemy deep and laid gunpowder in advance to severely injure the enemy. However, at the same time, the city wall near Chengtianmen was also seriously damaged. Although the entire army worked tirelessly to strengthen the city wall during the storm, the temporary blue bricks could not be piled up. The use of cement for bonding is only superficial and cannot fully play the role of defensive fortifications.
The rebels were obviously aware of this. When Changsun Wuji dragged his sick body back to supervise the battle, he immediately used Chengtianmen as the main attack point. Under his command, countless Guanlong troops launched a tidal wave of offensive towards Chengtianmen. With rising momentum, he vowed to conquer the Chengtian Gate, not only to avenge Changsun Wen who died here in battle, but also to use this as a breakthrough point to break into the Taiji Palace and completely crush the defense of Liuli in the East Palace.
Cheng Chubi sat under the Chengtian Gate and commanded his soldiers to fight bloody battles. However, the rebels had sufficient fighting strength. Round after round, the rebels launched a fierce attack on the Chengtian Gate without fear of death. At first, they accidentally rushed to the top of the city and were repulsed one by one. , until later, more and more rebels came, and they used the city head as a battlefield, where they fought fiercely.
The two sides fought over and over again for the top of the city, each suffering extremely heavy casualties. When the rebels set up ladders one by one under the Chengtian Gate, countless soldiers swarmed up to the top of the city like ants. Cheng Chubi smashed the tea bowl and put on his pocket robe. , with the sword in hand, he shouted at the left and right soldiers and the final reserve team with red eyes!
"As imperial soldiers, it is our duty to defend our country and die on the battlefield! Now that the rebels are raging, trying to overthrow the imperial court and overthrow the East Palace, we must be loyal to the death! The empire is in a state of panic. How can it be treason?
Can the army trample and humiliate you? Everyone, please join me on the top of the city to kill the rebels, protect the Tai Chi Palace, and serve the country with your death!"
The blood of the soldiers on the left and right was rising. They raised their swords one after another, raised their arms and shouted: "Serve the country with death!"
The voice was as dull as thunder, and the man was so angry!
Cheng Chubi ordered his men to report the situation of the battle to Li Jing who was stationed in Taiji Palace, and asked for reinforcements. Then he took his own soldiers and the final reserve team to the top of the city, rushed into the enemy group in person, and fought bloody battles without fear of death.
!
The rebels thought that since they had stormed the city and killed the defenders to the verge of collapse, the victory of "first to the top" was almost firmly secured. However, they were unexpectedly counterattacked by Cheng Chubi's troops. Due to their carelessness, they suffered heavy casualties.
They were thrown into disarray and were actually driven off the city wall, allowing the defenders to retake their positions.
Below the city, Changsun Wuji, who was looking at the Chengtianmen battlefield from a distance, thought that he was almost certain to break through this section of the city wall. When he saw countless soldiers falling from the top of the city like dumplings, even he, who was in charge of the city, could not hold back his anger and shouted angrily.
He scolded: "The supervising team came forward and concentrated their forces to attack Chengtianmen fiercely. Anyone who dares to step back even half a step will be killed without mercy!"
This battle is a matter of life and death. Seeing that the city has been attacked, how can we endure the loss again?
Immediately, Linghu Defen, who had not been in battle for a long time, wore a helmet and a long snow-white beard fluttering in the wind. He personally led the supervising team to the city. More than a hundred people lined up in a row, and the steel swords were filled with murderous intent.
Suppress the somewhat scattered Guanlong army.
After all, this is a real boss among the Guanlong clan. The last time there was any story about Linghu Defen going into battle was during the legendary Wude period. Now even this great Confucian who is destined to set up a banner in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty has personally
Risking arrows and stones, what room for others to be greedy for life and afraid of death?
In particular, the more than a hundred soldiers under Zhang Sun Wuji's command were murderous and lined up to block the retreat. Linghu Defen jumped on his horse and wielded his sword to kill a defeated soldier with his own hands. He stared angrily, raised his arms and shouted: "This
The battle is either life or death. I will advance and retreat with you all together, either to fight into the Tai Chi Palace or to die here!"
It's really heartening.
After the supervising team killed dozens of defeated troops, the momentum of the retreat was finally stopped. All the soldiers once again boosted their morale and launched a fierce attack on the city head.
Cheng Chubi, who had just defeated the rebels, had not had time to take a breath when he saw the ant-like rebels launching an offensive again. The intensity was even greater than before. For a time, the front line defense of Chengtianmen Gate Tower was completely blocked.
We are in danger of being attacked by rebel forces that are several times our own.
…
In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Jing was taking command, and emergency battle reports from various positions came like snowflakes. But after all, he was a figure known as the "God of War" and had commanded countless battles. Even if the situation was so urgent, he still commanded calmly and continuously.
He mobilized troops and sent generals to supplement the defences. Orders were issued from his mouth one after another. The captains and clerks under the tent hurriedly conveyed the orders to the army. The entire command center was in chaos.
At this time, although the heavy rain has stopped and the light rain has not stopped, the entire Tai Chi Palace is like a copper cauldron with a burning fire underneath. The water in the cauldron has dried up and the flames are rising.
"Bang"
The door of the room was pushed open. Li Siwen, who had been withdrawn from the Western Front by Li Jing before the war started and was reorganized as a central reinforcement of the reserve team, quickly came to Li Jing, wiped the rain from his face, and said quickly: "The Great Qi."
Commander, the front line of Chengtianmen is about to be undefeated, so I would like to ask for reinforcements!"
Li Jing looked haggard. He looked at the map hanging behind him. It was covered with arrows representing the enemy and ourselves, as well as the deployment of various troops led by Donggong Sixth. Then he glared at Li Siwen and yelled: "Asshole! Whether to reinforce or not should be under the overall control of my commander.
An order must be made after careful consideration. How can you be allowed to make your own decisions? Moreover, it is not just the situation at Chengtian Gate that is critical, the entire Taiji Palace is in crisis everywhere! Let me ask you, has Cheng Chubi asked for reinforcements?"
Li Siwen said: "No!"
Li Jing said: "Since Cheng Chubi has not asked for help, it means that we can still fight and the defense line of Chengtianmen is still stable. As a captain of the reserve team, you will sit in the middle of the army and wait for my general to come.
Can!"
Li Siwen argued loudly: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know what he is doing. That guy Cheng Chubi is a fool! It's probably impossible for you to expect him to ask for help. It's very likely that the guy died in the battle under the Chengtian sect, and you can't wait."
His cry for help!”
As a good gay friend who usually hangs out together, how could Li Siwen not know Cheng Chubi's temperament? That guy is indeed a little clever sometimes, but overall he is still stubborn and stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt. Now that the war situation is dangerous, the East Palace
The Sixth Army is short of major generals, and the reinforcements are stretched thin. That guy is even more unwilling to show weakness. No one else asks for help, so he is the only one asking for help?
I can't afford to lose that person!
Therefore, it is very likely that they will not find out that their position has been lost until the rebels march straight into Chengtianmen and that guy has died in the battle under Chengtianmen...
Li Jing was also surprised when he heard this.
Cheng Chubi was the same as Fang Jun back then, one was stupid and the other was naive. He was simply the "crouching dragon and phoenix chick" among the second generation of distinguished nobles.
