Chapter 1524 This is the treasure that King Qin An gave me
With the joint efforts of the Far Eastern Army Anzi and Yin Shishi in Chang'an City, the Chang'an City defenders had already concluded that the Li Army would massacre the city if they broke through. Therefore, the defenders were completely angered and their morale suddenly skyrocketed.
In particular, most of the defenders are local Guanzhong people, and many of them have family and relatives in the city. Even if they have doubts about this rumor, it is better to believe it than to believe it.
In short, when the offensive and defensive battles reached this level, many soldiers in the Chang'an City garrison thought that as long as they had breath, they could not tolerate their relatives being slaughtered by the Li family's army.
Li Yuan wanted to lead the Li family's army into the city unless all the defenders in Chang'an City were killed.
The third wave of attacks was quickly repulsed without even using many grenades.
A dozen soldiers of the Li family army who had lost support and were languishing at the top of the city were directly pushed off the city wall by the angry defenders, and were smashed into meat patties or shot into hedgehogs.
A tall and round-armed city guard raised his axe, aimed at the ladder hooked on the top of the city, and struck hard with all his strength.
One axe, two axes, three axes, and several feather arrows flew in the air, shooting him like a hedgehog. The dying axe-holder raised his arm again and roared fiercely, the bloody ax blade dazzling and cold in the sun .
The ladder finally broke away from the city wall, rolled over on its side and fell apart. The axe-wielder laughed a few times, hugged the battlement with one hand, lowered his head and jumped off the city wall. He smashed an injured Li Jiajun under the city wall who was trying to escape, and killed him alive. .
Another wave of attackers was quickly defeated by the defenders of Chang'an City.
Li Anyuan's five thousand brothers have suffered more than two thousand casualties, and their morale is in jeopardy.
"Tang Gong is watching everyone!" He shouted angrily, "Come forward, don't embarrass me!"
When the war reached this level, the motivational effect of such false words was very limited, but a heavy reward could still have some effect, so Li Anyuan had to keep increasing the reward.
However, even if he granted the maximum official position and reward within his scope of authority, the morale of the brothers had only improved to a very limited extent, and the overall situation was still sluggish.
The terrifying scene of grenade explosions before the defenders had a huge impact on the morale of the Li family army. Immediately afterwards, the defenders were affected by rumors that the Li family army would massacre the city, and their morale increased sharply. Some of the defenders even almost exchanged one life for another. This style of play Especially the reality of heavy casualties made the attacking Li Jiajun officers really unable to muster the courage.
"Take it!" When Li Anyuan thought of Li Yuan looking at him from behind, especially when he thought of the consequences of being disappointed by Li Yuan, as if he saw that the founding hero had moved away from him, he threw the command flag to his with determination. Lieutenant General Liu Yajun.
Without waiting for Liu Yajun to react, Li Anyuan held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, leading his own soldiers to rush to the city wall in person, shouting: "It belongs to a man, come with me!"
As he ran, he shouted loudly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
At the rear, Li Yuan took the telescope that his second son Li Shimin had used to show his filial piety last year and saw that Li Anyuan personally started to lead the soldiers to attack the city. Although his face was ugly and gloomy, and he was disappointed with Li Anyuan, he knew better that the commander of the siege on the other side personally attacked the city and attacked it. , it was natural to be overjoyed when the city was broken, but it failed and even died on the top of Chang'an City, which was a huge blow to the morale of one's own army.
So Li Yuan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Blow the gongs and trumpets, and retreat. We will stop here for today's attack."
"Dang, dang, dang, dang!" A clear gong sound sounded from Li Yuan's position. The soldiers around him reacted immediately, and the horn sounded immediately, spreading far away to ensure that the Li family's army attacking the city from all sides could hear it.
.
The sudden sound of gongs and horns from behind stopped Li Anyuan's desperate behavior and also called all the soldiers of the Li family army who participated in the siege away from the battlefield.
In fact, when the gongs and horns of the retreat sounded, all the siege Li family commanders breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them were even ecstatic, because if they continued to siege the city, they might die immediately in the next step.
"The incompetent Far Eastern Army, the incompetent gunpowder weapons..." Li Anyuan cursed in a low voice, lowered his head in frustration, turned around with his soldiers, and followed the flow of people away from the city wall.
Contrary to the Li Jiajun, the defenders on the top of the city saw the Li Jiajun retreating and burst out with shouts that resounded through the sky.
When the retreating Li Jiajun heard the cheers, their morale became even lower.
Master Yinshi held the battlement with one hand and breathed heavily. If the enemy organized another attack, they would probably have to use grenades to repel it. And he didn't know how many gunpowder weapons the Far Eastern Army had secretly sent in. If they ran out,
, Chang'an City still cannot be defended!
"Mr. Huang, has your Far Eastern Army received intelligence? Is it true that Li Yuan wants to massacre the city?" Looking at the enemies retreating like a tide, he asked without looking back, because he knew that his most trusted aide, Mr. Huang, was behind him.
Stand.
Mr. Huang carefully wiped away the blood on his sword, inserted it into the scabbard, smiled and whispered: "Of course this is a lie."
"Mr. Huang, you should know that although this kind of rumor can improve the morale of the soldiers at critical moments and even save the entire army, if this rumor continues to spread, especially when it spreads to Li Yuan's army outside the city, it is very likely to cause
Li Yuan turned this matter into reality, a real massacre of the city." Master Yinshi also spoke in a low voice, but when he spoke, he glanced enviously at Mr. Huang's sword inserted into the scabbard. Just now he noticed that Huang
The gentleman actually used this sword to cut off the swords of several soldiers of the Li family who stormed the city. Although it cannot be regarded as cutting iron like clay, it is clearly close to it. This is a real treasured sword!
"Don't worry, General Yin. Our Far Eastern Army Military Intelligence Bureau has a big data analysis of Li Yuan's character. Although we dare not
It is 100% correct, but it is true on some major matters. With Li Yuan's character, in order not to lose the reputation of a vicious tyrant, he would never issue an order to massacre Chang'an City." Mr. Huang was very confident when he said these words.
"That's good, that's good! With your words, I can rest assured." Although Master Yinshi doesn't know what big data analysis means, he also knows the power of the Far East Army's Military Intelligence Office.
Now that the Far East Army has come to such a conclusion, there should be nothing wrong with it, and they are relieved.
When Mr. Huang was speaking just now, he felt Master Yinshi's gaze, so he handed the sword to Master Yinshi and said, "If the general likes this sword, I will give it to the general."
Master Yinshi was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the sword handed over by Mr. Huang. Suddenly his heart moved and a light flashed in his eyes. He said: "Such a sword is rare in the world. Could it be a gift from His Highness King Qin An to this general?"
?”
Mr. Huang thought to himself: Master Yin Shi, you take yourself too seriously. Although the plan for Chang'an City was personally approved by the prince, the specific operation was fully implemented by Commander Shen Guoer and led by the Military Intelligence Bureau. However, after the specific arrangements were made, After that, even Commander Shen Guoer followed the prince to the Central Plains. In short, a character like Yin Shishi could not catch the prince's attention.
In fact, this sword is regarded as a precious sword by Yin Shishi, but although not everyone in the Far East Army has one in their hands, there are mid-level and above officers and people with special status, and there may be thousands of them in total.
Of course, Mr. Huang would not tell the truth to Yin Shishi, and he followed Yin Shishi's self-righteous words and nodded enigmatically: "General Yin has a burning gaze. Our prince has long been interested in favoring General Yin. It's just that the prince He must personally plot the Central Plains to deal with the 400,000-strong Wagang army led by Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others. Otherwise, he would have personally come to accept General Yin's submission. But just as General Yin thought, the prince ordered me to bring this precious sword. The purpose of sending it to General Yu Yin is to let the general protect him so that he can serve under the prince in the future."
Although Yin Shishi's talents are much inferior to those of Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong and others, with the support of his family over the years, his official career has been prosperous, so he has developed a rather conceited character. He has no doubts about what Mr. Huang said. He believed that he should also have a certain position in the eyes of the famous King Qin An.
Therefore, when he heard Mr. Huang's words, he did not have the slightest doubt. Instead, he was overjoyed and said loudly like an oath: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I will defend the city of Chang'an for the prince to the death, and will never let the prince down."
After a pause, Master Yinshi asked again: "I just don't know how many gunpowder weapons our Far East Army has transported into the city?"
Mr. Huang smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Yin. As long as you don't abuse it, it will be enough for a month. And after a month, our Far Eastern Army will definitely make some moves, and Li Yuan will probably withdraw by then."
