Chapter 583: The City Head Changes the King's Flag
It was quiet outside Chang'an City, but inside the city the atmosphere was solemn and the situation was tense.
Ma Teng was stationed outside, and the soldiers in the city had already learned the news.
At this time, the soldiers responsible for the defense of Chang'an City were very alert and watched closely what was going on outside the city. As long as there were soldiers outside the city, the Xiliang soldiers on the city tower would beat the war drums and summon the people in the city.
Xiliang soldiers resisted Ma Teng's army. As a result, the sound of footsteps on the city tower continued all night, non-stop, and it was very tense.
All the soldiers had tense faces and solemn expressions.
No one knows what will happen next moment, and no one is sure whether they can survive after the war begins. Everything is unknown, and the soldiers are worried and very nervous.
Time passed and the stars in the sky disappeared.
The moon also gradually disappeared, and a flash of fish belly white suddenly appeared on the horizon.
"Tap! Tread! Tread!..."
As soon as the sky dawned, a group of soldiers quickly ran to the bottom of the city gate from inside the city gate.
This group of soldiers has a fierce momentum and uniform movements. There are 600 people in total. At the front of the soldiers, there are two generals. One of them is tall and burly, but his appearance is a bit wretched. The other is a strong man with a dignified manner.
It's daunting. These two people are Yang Feng and Xu Huang.
After Yang Feng was persuaded by Xu Huang, he planned how to open the city gate and control the power of the city gate.
In the end, Xu Huang gave Yang Feng an idea and asked Yang Feng to go to the palace. Then Yang Feng hurried back to the camp. When the sky was just getting dark, Yang Feng and Xu Huang took 600 people with them.
The soldiers arrived at the west gate of Chang'an City. This gate was where Ma Teng's army was going to attack.
If Yang Feng wants to welcome Ma Teng into the city, he must capture the west tower.
Only in this way can Liu Xie's mission be completed.
The army stopped, and Yang Feng ordered: "Gongming, you lead the soldiers and wait below the tower. I will go to the tower to discuss with the guards stationed on the tower." After saying that, Yang Feng led more than ten soldiers to the tower.
.
Xu Huang stayed under the tower and led the troops in formation.
He was wearing armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and holding a nine-foot-long giant ax in his hand. The axe's blade was sharp and emitted a cold light that made people feel slightly chilled.
"Tap! Tread!"
Yang Feng walked quickly and ran quickly to the tower.
He had to hurry up, because once Ma Teng led his army to attack the city, he would not have enough preparation time, and the difficulty of opening the city gate would suddenly increase. Therefore, when Ma Teng climbed up the tower, he almost jogged quickly.
On the city tower, Yang Feng quickly calmed down again. Although he had a hint of gangsterism, he had been in a high position for a long time, but he also had a sense of majesty and was not angry.
As soon as Yang Fenggang walked up to the city tower, a captain who was leading the patrol came over, cupped his fists and said, "General Yang, you led the troops to the city tower. What's the important matter?"
Yang Feng looked serious and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order to immediately find the general responsible for the defense of the city tower."
"promise!"
The captain replied and turned to ask the guard of the tower.
The little emperor Liu Xie did not have much weight in the eyes of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, nor did he have much face, because Liu Xie had no military power. However, Liu Xie still had a lot of weight in the eyes of the Xiliang soldiers, so Yang Feng took the title of little emperor, and the captain
The lieutenant immediately went to report it. After a while, a burly and fat middle-aged man came over, clasped his fists and said, "General Yang, what is your Majesty's order?"
While speaking, the middle-aged man yawned, with a tired look on his face.
After staying up all night, his eyelids were already fighting, he was very tired, and he was about to ask another group of soldiers to change the defense.
This man's name was Xiong Shi, a general sent by Fan Chou to garrison the west tower.
Chang'an City has three gates in the east, west, south and north directions. The towers in the east are Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate and Bacheng Gate; the towers in the west are Yongmen and Zhicheng Gate.
Zhangcheng Gate; the towers to the north are Luocheng Gate, Chucheng Gate, and Hengmen; the towers to the south are Fu'anmen, Anmen, and Xi'an Gate.
The towers in the four directions, the east and south towers were defended by soldiers led by Zhang Ji's general, and the north and west towers were garrisoned by soldiers led by general Fan Chou.
Yang Feng looked serious and said loudly: "Your Majesty said that Ma Teng is stationed outside, and both the people and officials in the city should try their best to defend Chang'an, and ordered this general to come and replace the defense of the city tower. However, this general is only responsible for the defense during the day.
Your soldiers will still be stationed at night, and this is why His Majesty allows you to have enough rest time and recuperate to resist Ma Teng."
After hearing this, Xiong Shi's face showed a hint of joy.
He didn't have any wariness in his heart, because he heard from Fan Chou that the young emperor was very concerned about the safety of Chang'an City, and had summoned Fan Chou and Zhang Ji several times to discuss Chang'an's defense.
The little emperor was so concerned, of course he wanted to protect Chang'an.
With this idea in mind, Yang Feng must be reliable when he is sent by the little emperor to switch defenses.
Xiong Shi thought for a while, but still followed the rules and asked: "General Yang, you are leading the troops to take over the defense. Do you have His Majesty's order? If not, please go back."
In fact, when there was no army to attack the city, Xiong Shi would definitely not be willing to meet Yang Feng who was only responsible for garrisoning during the day and left him to garrison at night. However, Ma Teng was about to attack the city and was responsible for garrisoning during the day.
Xiong Shi's defense was very dangerous, so Yang Feng came to replace him, which played into Xiong Shi's mind.
Yang Feng was well prepared. After hearing Xiong Shi's order, he immediately took out a piece of bright yellow cloth from his sleeve. This piece of cloth was also embroidered with various patterns, with Liu Xie's order written on it, and added
The seal was stamped.
Seeing this, Xiong Shi felt relieved and no longer had any worries in his heart.
Xiong Shi said: "General Yang, call the soldiers up and prepare to change defenses."
Yang Feng was overjoyed, turned around and ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Let Xu Huang take five hundred soldiers to the city tower to change the defense, and leave another one hundred soldiers to guard the city gate. Once Ma Teng's army attacks the city, the city gate will be a fortress and cannot be tolerated.
There is a mistake. You must let Xu Huang select elite soldiers to garrison the city gate, go ahead!"
After speaking, Yang Feng dismissed the soldiers.
Xiong Shi stood aside and listened to Yang Feng's arrangements, feeling very happy.
Yang Feng was so conscientious in his duties that nothing went wrong. In this way, he could go back and have a good sleep without having his soldiers come to guard the city gate.
After a while, Xu Huang led the soldiers to the tower and arranged for the soldiers to be stationed on the tower.
When Xiong Shi saw that the soldiers had been replaced, he said hello and took his soldiers down from the tower and returned to the camp to rest.
At this point, Yang Feng relied on the little emperor's edict to easily take control of the west tower.
Yang Feng looked back at Xu Huang and whispered: "Gongming, you are really my right-hand man. With a little trick, you easily took down the defense of the city tower. Well, you are worthy of Xu Gongming. Wait for Ma Teng to attack
After Chang'an, I will gain glory and wealth, and your share will definitely be indispensable."
Xu Huang didn't look happy, he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General!"
The two stood on the city tower, staring at the direction where Ma Teng's army was camping, and waited quietly.
Time gradually passed, and a red sun had risen in the east.
Suddenly, a dark spot appeared in the distant sky. The spot moved very fast and became clearer and clearer. In the end, Ma Teng and his army could be seen in sight.
Ma Teng, from Xiliang, is here to lead the troops.
