Longmen City is not a big city, the city wall is not high, or an earthen fortress, it is the seat of Longmen County, close to the Yellow River, the most important function is actually on a Yellow River crossing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jindi connects one of the two large ferries in Guanzhong, and its importance is self-evident.

Longmen City, like Pucheng in Hedong County, is set up for the Yellow River Ferry, which is almost a transit place, whether it is a caravan or an official government, as long as you take the Longmen Ferry, you have to pass through Longmen City.

Therefore, Longmen City occupies a large area, but there has always been a lack of permanent residents in the city.

In short, this is a place very similar to the border town, where soldiers are stationed all the year round, and in the early years of the great cause, business and travel are very prosperous.

But now, since the defeat of the Tang army, Li Po waved his army south and captured Longmen, and this place has also become a standard barracks.

In July and August of this year, in order to prevent the Tang army from attacking, there were more than 10,000 garrisons in the city.

But at the beginning of winter, the defenders returned to Jiangxian for the winter, and the most important thing was the cavalry, and they would definitely not be able to stay here in Longmen, so they all went back to Jiangxian.

Now the defenders in the city are actually not small, Zhang Lun and Chen Li each led 2,000 infantry troops, plus 1,000 cavalry to find the appearance, almost 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Longmen City.

Originally, Wei Chixin and Wang Zhibi were the main forces stationed in Longmen.

At the beginning, it was also very good, and the two of them took turns guarding the dragon gate.

But then Wang Zhibi was promoted to the head of the Daizhou march, and led his henchmen to Jinyang.

Then Wei Chixin got the order of General Li Po and led the soldiers and horses to welcome Xiao Hou's return to the south, and both the left and right guards and Li Po himself were preparing and considering the military rewards at the end of the year......

Well, in a word, although there are many defenders in Longmen City at this time, they have a very fatal shortcoming, that is, no one has the qualifications and gets the exact military order to command them in a unified manner.

And the origins of the three leaders are also very different, Zhang Lun is Li Tang's general, so there is no need to say anything, Chen Li is Li Po's wife, and Xun Xiang is Wei Chigong's henchman.

Three people from different backgrounds, not to mention making friends with each other, usually feel that words are not speculative when they see each other and say a word.

The difference between factions in the army was particularly evident at this time.

It is a bit similar to the Tang Army that guarded Jiexiu back then, but the difference is that the generals in the army have not yet reached the point of desperation, and they do not have the strong gate valve color of the Tang Army.

Moreover, several of the people who led the troops were experienced in battle and knew how to restrain their men, and of course, the most important point was that there was no conflict of interest in several people.

If they want to dominate the Dragon Gate military power, they don't have that qualification, and guarding Dragon Gate City is not a merit, so there is no need to fight for merit.

Therefore, the garrison was divided into three parts, Zhang Lun was stationed in the south city, Chen Li was in the west city, taking care of the north city, and Xun Xiang led the cavalry to be stationed in the east city.

It can be regarded as a clear distinction, each performing its own duties, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

………………………………

Longmen City was quiet like a sleeping giant beast in the wind and snow, and in the darkness outside Longmen City, thousands of Tang troops led their war horses patiently around and turned to Dongcheng.

As for why, it's too simple, the most threatening class to cavalry is always cavalry, so the phase search department must bear the brunt.

Where did such a detailed military intelligence come from? Naturally, it was from the Tang envoy who had returned to the west bank of the Yellow River before.

The low city wall is not difficult to climb, Li Shimin just looked around in the dark, and then asked people to go up to the city and open the city gate as quickly as possible.

Because he couldn't wait any longer, the weather was getting colder and colder, and if the night passed, Li Shimin was not sure how many people would be able to wield swords and guns to fight the enemy.

No one was watching from the top of the city, and the guards of the city walls had retreated into the towers or barracks at the base of the city.

There were no ice and snow guards, and no matter how strict the military discipline of the army was, it was not strict enough to force the soldiers to go up to the city to look out in such weather, because this was not wartime at all.

If it were a normal time, this slack would certainly not be a big deal, but the sudden arrival of the enemy made this slack fatal.

The Tang soldiers, who were frozen, gritted their teeth and climbed the city wall, cleared the two city towers first, and then quietly went down to the city and pushed open the east gate of Longmen City.

But this is not Lucheng after all, and the rebellious army stationed in the city is not the chaotic army in Luzhou, and the subordinates who seek the appearance are the most elite of the defenders in the city.

Although their sense of danger is not as good as that of wild beasts, they have carried out more bloody killings, and naturally they have cultivated an intuition.

The gates were just ajar, and the sound of shouting and questioning rang out from the inside of the walls.

Then came the sound of warning trumpets and hoarse shouts, which were clearly heard in the winter night.

It kicked off the prelude to the battle of Longmen City.

"Kill, kill in."

Li Shimin drew his steel knife, shouted loudly, and urged the war horse to take the lead.

The soldiers of the army, who had already lined up the black pressure array outside the city, kicked and beat the belly of the horses one after another, and rode forward.

The sound of horses' hooves finally shattered the silent winter night, and the army spread like a shadow towards the gates of Longmen City in the light of the hazy moonlight.

Xunxiang doesn't have the same problems as Liang Jiuchun, he has always slept very soundly.

But when the sound of the horn just faintly came, Xun Xiang had already jumped up on the bed like a corpse, so he shook his head a little dazed, listened attentively, and his expression had changed greatly.

Because he knew that no one dared to play by blowing the horn at the third watch in the middle of the night.

And at this time, he wouldn't think about where the enemy came from, and how he would attack Longmen City at this time.

He didn't care about dressing, grabbed the steel knife on the bed, and almost kicked open the door with his upper body and rushed out.

In a short time, a dozen soldiers had gathered around him, and more disheveled soldiers had escaped from the barracks outside.

The chaotic sounds and scenes did not make Xun Xiang lose his judgment, he led people to run quickly in the direction of the city gate, and asked the soldiers to pass the order to the two battalion lieutenants, so that they could quickly gather the soldiers.

But after a moment he stood up, tilted his head in confusion and listened, and suddenly he leaned over and fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye he jumped again.

"Quick, quick, go to the stables, get on the horses, get on the horses, it's the cavalry, it's the cavalry."

At this time, he was more similar to Liang Jiuchun who died in battle, and he had an accurate reaction to the battle, but it was still too late.

The Tang army had swarmed in from the east gate, and the sound of horses' hooves clearly reached the ears of the defenders in the city.

It's all too familiar to them......
