Li Xingchen nodded slightly, and Wang Qian and Yuchi Jiong most likely had made an appointment to advance and retreat together.
"Approximately how many enemy troops are there in the city?"
"There should be about a thousand people, and most of them are Xianbei troops, so it is reasonable to intend to resist stubbornly." Zhang Xutuo explained, "Especially Da Xi Qixin and others under Wang Qian's command are likely to put them
The fighting turned into street fighting."
Li Xingchen narrowed his eyes: "Street fighting?"
They have so much courage.
It depends on how long they can persist in resisting.
Whether it's Da Xi Qixin or Gao Anagong, they are not really very capable people in history, otherwise they wouldn't be completely defeated in front of Yang Jian's army. After all, the battle presided over by these two guys is
A rare battle in history where the northern army marched south into Shu and easily broke through Jianmen Pass and fought directly to the gates of Chengdu.
As for the reason, they didn't realize the importance of Jianmen Pass at all. Instead, they were still trying to clear out the small resistance forces around Chengdu. They were even defeated by them, and finally let Liang Rui drive straight in through the open door of Shu Road.
Therefore, Li Xingchen did not think that these two mediocre people could cause any trouble.
Of course, judging from the current situation, even if the Soldier Saint is reincarnated, there may be nothing he can do. The Han army has already formed an absolute advantage.
Luoyang, General's Mansion.
This place was once the military core of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is close to the Luoyang Palace and is one of the hearts that cannot be ignored in the world.
Many political orders have been issued from here, leading the Xianbei cavalry from the north to trample the Central Plains, but now this place has fallen into a dead silence.
The rain poured down on the eaves, and then fell into the ditch after sliding off the eaves. The pond was full of ripples.
Yu Chijiong and Wang Qian's personal guards stood outside the lobby, staring closely at the door. They could still hold up the swords in their hands, but the nervous expressions on their faces and slightly trembling hands undoubtedly showed that they were worried at this time.
Extremely nervous.
The Han army has entered the city. The few generals who were still loyal to the Northern Zhou Dynasty commanded the remaining defeated soldiers to resist. The General's Mansion was almost located in the center of the city. The Han army could not rush here for a while, but this was just
It's just a matter of time. Facing the Han army with powerful crossbows and firearms, street fighting is not a good choice. What's more, the Han army now has the latest thunder. A black iron lump is enough to make the hiding
On the roof, behind the earthen wall, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were left dead and injured.
If it weren't for the fact that the Northern Zhou generals with Xianbei blood, such as Gao Anahu and Da Xi Qixin, led their troops to fight to the death, they were afraid that their dark history of resisting the Han army and their identity as Xianbei people would eventually lead to the liquidation of the Han Dynasty, so they might as well fight with
If the enemy fights to the end, at least he can gain a name in history. I am afraid that the Han army can now knock on the door.
Yu Chijiong and Wang Qian were sitting in the lobby. There was nothing in the lobby. All the tables and chairs had been dismantled into parts and sent to the top of the city to be used as wood and rolling stones. However, even so, they still could not stop them.
The Han army can be defended.
Both of them were soldiers, so of course they were not that particular, so they just sat on the floor with a wine flask and a wine glass in the middle.
After raising his glass, Yuchijiong smiled and said, "I am incompetent, and I have brought trouble to Brother Qiwan."
"Brother Bo Juluo, why did you say this? It was XX who dragged you down." Wang Qian forced a smile, "If XX's subordinates are more courageous, we can fight out even if the city wall collapses."
In fact, the collapse of the city wall is not completely fatal. Historically, it is not an insurmountable difficulty to encounter the collapse of the city wall in the battle to defend the city. As long as the defenders can build a line of defense and use things like gates, swords, carts, and shields, then
Shooting arrows from a high position on both ends of the city wall to suppress it is not that simple for the enemy to break through from here, and the enemy will definitely concentrate their superior forces to attack the gap, which will naturally reduce the pressure on other city walls, but will increase the pressure on the defenders.
Not as big, and scheduling is more flexible.
But the premise of all this is that this gap can be plugged.
The Northern Zhou army still failed to do so, although they fought tenaciously.
The two people looked at each other.
They are all defeated, and there seems to be no point in pushing them back and forth.
Picking up the wine glass, Yuchi Jiong looked at Wang Qian, then turned to the north, and raised his glass respectfully, which was a tribute to Yu Wenxian.
Wang Qian smiled and said: "Your Majesty doubts you so much and even listens to the slander. Brother Yuchi, don't you forget to pay tribute to your Majesty?"
Yuchi Jiong said calmly: "Since you are a minister of Zhou, you should do so."
Wang Qian nodded and raised a toast.
There were sounds of killing outside, and the guards were a little surprised as to why the two generals were still in the mood to sit in the lobby and drink. Could they be planning to surrender after drinking? What's the point of this?
"If I wasn't afraid of pain, I wouldn't need Brother Yuchi to accompany me like this. It might be more refreshing to use the knife and swing it."
Wang Qian thought of something.
Yuchijiong smiled self-consciously: "I am also quite afraid of pain."
"real?"
"Why lie to you? When we get old, we can't make up our minds. It's still convenient like this."
"Then drink!"
"Drink!"
The two drank the wine in one gulp.
Their conversation finally made the guards realize something and they turned around hurriedly.
Two people had fallen to the ground.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Xingchen, who was standing under the south gate, looked at the figure slowly walking out of the wind and rain. Li Ping beside him had already taken a step forward, pointing the long sword in his hand at the person coming: "Stop!"
The figure knelt down directly on the ground, raised his hands, and held a tray in his hand, with two large seals on it: "Zhong Dafu Zhao Zhongqing was ordered by the two generals to see His Majesty the Han Dynasty. These are the seals of the two generals and are presented to Your Majesty.
."
Li Xingchen frowned. Zhao Zhongqing was also a famous legal official in the early years of the Sui Dynasty. He was known for his strictness. However, in history, his fame was only due to Wang Qian's rebellion. He was reused because of his merits in putting down the rebellion. At this time, he was just a
A small middle-level doctor was nothing in the Northern Zhou Dynasty when official positions were abundant. Yang Jian had a circle of middle-level officials around him.
What's funny is that in history, Zhao Zhongqing became famous for pacifying Wang Qian, but in this era, Yu Wenxian was originally good to Zhao Zhongqing, and he was an official in Luoyang, so Zhao Zhongqing naturally followed Yu Wenxian, and even
Became Wang Qian's partner.
Now they come here on behalf of Wang Qian and Yuchi Jong.
"Where are Yuchi Jiong and Wang Qian?" Li Xingchen noticed something.
If you don't surrender on your own, are you going to show off?
Zhao Zhongqing took a deep breath and said: "The two generals know that Your Majesty is so powerful that they cannot do anything except die to serve the country. They specially ordered their subordinates to send the general seal to ask Your Majesty to treat the people well."
"Be kind to the people, they don't need to tell me, I'm not a tyrant." Li Xingchen snorted coldly, "Then are they planning to resist to the end?"
To serve the country with death, what do you want to do and fight until the last moment?
