Chapter 849: Agitation (12)

seems to confirm the judgment of Zhu Youzhen, Dai Chao and others, after two days of calm, under the city of Chang'an, the waves rose again. And this time the offensive was very different from the previous one. If Zhu Youzhen seemed to be expecting some action in the city before, looking forward to the forbidden army in the city backlash, after such a long battle, he seems to have given up this fantasy, and many weapons that had not appeared before were used in actual combat for the first time.

For example, a fierce fire oil bomb.

After learning that the Northern Tang Army had an outstanding record in using fierce fire oil bombs, Zhu Youzhen has been seeking this thing for several years, but it is a pity that he can't get the Northern Tang Army's fierce fire oil refining method, which is a fierce fire oil bomb made by it, and the power is completely incomparable with that of the Tang Army, but for the Liang Forbidden Army guarding Chang'an at this moment, it is still quite threatening.

Because this is the first time they've seen something like this.

Large-scale siege equipment such as siege ladders, building cars, inclined ladders, etc. are no longer scattered as before, but appear in groups under the city.

More importantly, the banners of Zhu Youzhen and Xu Fu moved directly to a place only a few miles away from Chang'an City.

This means that the superior is bound to win this siege.

The west wall is straight to the city gate, the south wall is Xi'an Gate, and the east wall is Qingming Gate, which has been almost indiscriminately attacked, and only the direction of the north city has become the only side of the quiet land.

Zhu Youzhen's lonely throw surprised both Dai Chao and Zhu Youzhen, and in addition to being surprised, the pressure doubled. Both of them came to the front line to direct the operation.

Hao Ren at Xuanping Gate.

Naturally, this place has also been attacked, but compared to the Qingming Gate, the intensity of the attack here is much smaller. As Xu Fu judged when he planned earlier, as the attack on the Qingming Gate on the east wall continued to increase, the Xuanping Gate, which was under less pressure, began to mobilize elite main forces towards the Qingming Gate one after another.

The main force has decreased, and it is natural that other troops need to be replenished. Hao Ren's mastery of the people was naturally replaced.

The attack on Xuanping Gate was a forbidden army from Tongguan that had submitted to Zhu Youzhen, and Wu Kai, the leader of Xuanping Gate, was very familiar with the general who was commanding the siege below, and it was from Xuanping Gate that this general was transferred to Tongguan that year. At that time, the two of them also said goodbye warmly, as the generals of the forbidden army, they were both born in Xuanwu, and they were very familiar with each other.

Two years have passed, and when we meet again, they have become enemies of each other, and they want to take each other's lives and give up.

Wu Kai had no way back.

He was promoted by Zhu Youyu, and his family members were still in the palace at the moment, and Zhu Youyu took all their families into the palace as hostages on the grounds of taking care of the families of these generals so as not to distract the generals from him.

Whether it's for himself or his family, he has no reason to take a half step back.

"General Hao, go to the reserves!" Looking at the steady stream of enemies coming from under the city, Wu Kai turned his head and shouted at Hao Ren under the city wall.

"Yes!" Hao Ren pulled out the horizontal knife inserted in the ground, turned around and looked back at the more than 1,000 people sitting on the ground and shouted: "It's time for us to go up, guard the city wall, and each person will be rewarded with ten yuan." ”

"Kill!" More than 1,000 people cheered and followed Hao Ren and ran up the ramp of the upper city.

Wu Kai's subordinates have been fighting fiercely for an hour, and most of them are tired at this moment, and they must withdraw some of them to rest, looking at the appearance of the enemy outside, today, I am afraid that they will not give up easily.

For this group of people under Hao Ren, Wu Kai is still very relieved. said that it was Minzhuang, in fact, it was those gangsters under Hao Ren, compared to ordinary Minzhuang, these people have basically seen blood, and their personal force is extremely brave, after these days of conquest, they have already had some elite appearance.

"General Wu, how to fight?" Hao Ren strode towards Wu Kai, followed by two of his followers.

"The same old way." Wu Kai took a few steps back and slammed his knife on the ground, "For half an hour, let my sons breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Okay!" Hao Ren agreed very cheerfully.

At this time, he was only more than ten steps away from Wu Kai.

When Wu Kai was talking, his eyes did not leave the battlefield on one side, but he glanced at Hao Ren from the corner of his eye, but it was this glance that made him stunned.

The eight-foot-tall man behind Hao Ren looked familiar.

He jerked his head away.

At that moment, he only felt that the boiling blood in his body was frozen in an instant.

That tall man, he is just familiar.

He is very familiar.

Xu Chong!

The son of Xu Fu, the former general of the Praetorian Guard.

Xu Fu is only six feet tall, he is short, but his son is more than eight feet tall, but he is an out-and-out big man, the father and son stand together, the contrast is stark, giving people an extremely profound image, ordinary soldiers, or not familiar with Xu Chong, but a general like Wu Kai, how can he not know Xu Chong?

He screamed, and as soon as he raised his knife, Xu Chong behind Hao Ren had already rushed in, kicking his toes on the ground, and a half-cut iron spear that fell to the ground flew towards Wu Kai with the sound of the wind.

With a bang, Wu Kai just flew the flying iron spear, Xu Chong had already jumped up, holding the horizontal knife in both hands, and in the roar, a knife slashed down from the air.

Wu Kai barely blocked the knife, and with a muffled snort, the back of the knife pressed down and fell heavily on his shoulder, and the huge force immediately made his legs weak and he knelt on the ground.

Wu Kai is actually not weak, at least Hao Ren can't beat him face-to-face. But at this moment, he was at his weakest, and it was Xu Chong, who was known for his bravery, who attacked him, and he lost the upper hand with one move.

A knife forced Wu Kai to kneel on the ground, Xu Chong swiped the knife, and blood rushed out of Wu Kai's neck in an instant. Xu Chong didn't look at him again, his body rushed forward, Wu Kai's blood stained on the knife flew in the air, and he slashed several guards around Wu Kai in a row.

The drastic change abruptly broke out, and the Praetorian Guards, who had just relaxed, were stunned, and more than 1,000 people who had come up to the city had already occupied this section of the city wall in an instant.

Xu Chong rushed to the head of the city, Hao Ren lifted two axes from the ground and threw them to Xu Chong, the two of them broke off and the drawbridge fell down.

More than a dozen people rushed to the winch, grabbed the crossbar on the winch, shouted the trumpet, and began to turn the winch, accompanied by the sound of iron chains, the jack gate blocking the city gate slowly rose.

It was only at this time, above the city, that Wu Kai's subordinates reacted, and Hao Ren rebelled.

Enraged, the Praetorian Guards in the city, led by one officer after another, launched a frantic counterattack.

But at this moment, among the more than 1,000 people in the city, there are 500 people, who are the brave soldiers selected by Xu Chong, although there are not many people, but the combat effectiveness is extremely amazing, the two sides are fighting fiercely in the city, and for a while, it is difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

The fire on the top of the city rose up, and the Liang army, which was attacking the city under the city, took advantage of the momentum, and more and more soldiers climbed the city wall, while the other troops of Hao Ren who remained under the city had already opened the city gate, just waiting for the jack gate to be completely raised.

Outside the city, farther away, a heavy cavalry had already begun to start, with a loud rumbling sound, rushing towards the Xuanping Gate.

In the Beicheng Tower, Dai Chao's expression was solemn, not because the enemy in front of him made him feel overwhelmed, but at this moment, at least dozens of fire heads in the city suddenly appeared.

And that's just what he saw.

There had been a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the snow in the city had not melted so far, and if it weren't for the deliberate arson that someone had carefully prepared, it would not have been possible to suddenly ignite such a fire.

It didn't take long for more pillars of smoke to rise from inside Chang'an City, at least hundreds of points, and now they were burning.

Dai Chao gasped, how many Zhu Youzhen's people are in the city, and the front division of the palace has been clearing for so long, and there are still so many fish that have slipped through the net.

Standing in his position, he could see that groups of Praetorian Guards were rushing towards the place where the fire started, and the enemy set fire to it just to create chaos and create fighters for the enemy besieging the city, so there must be a point, which is the place where the enemy is focusing on attacking today.

But where is the point?

This question was quickly answered. A horse came galloping from the east.

"General, the Xuanping Gate is broken, and Xu Fu has come in!" The knight of the castle roared hoarsely.

Suddenly, like a basin of cold water poured down from the top of his head, Dai Chao rushed down to the city: "How did Xuanping Gate break?" ”

"Hao Ren is the internal response, Hao Ren is the enemy's internal response!" The knight said: "Xu Fu came in with five thousand heavy cavalry and went straight to the direction of the imperial city. ”

"You, immediately report to His Majesty the Emperor and ask His Majesty the Emperor to lead the cavalry to intercept Xu Fu's cavalry."

"Yes!"

"Zheng Tai, this place is handed over to you, I will go to Xuanping Gate and drive the enemy out of the city!" Dai Chao turned around and said to a general.

"Whoa!" Zheng Tai shouted his order.

When Zhu Youyu received the report, he was also shocked, and immediately led a group of thousands of cavalry under his command as the last reserve and rushed towards the direction of the imperial city.

Half an hour later, the two cavalry suddenly met on the Suzaku Avenue.

The short Xu Fu looked at Zhu Youyu opposite, laughed cruelly, raised the big knife that was completely disproportionate to his height, and roared angrily: "Kill your father and child, take your life!" ”

Outside the city, Zhu Youzhen immediately noticed the great changes in the city, and finally showed a rare smile on his face. He knew that Chang'an City was finally his.

"Order the soldiers, loudly proclaim that Chang'an has been broken, Zhu Youyu Daichao is dead, this king entered Chang'an this time, is to clean up the house, only punish the evil, and the rest will not be investigated!" He said with a deep breath.

The morale of the Liang army outside the city was greatly boosted, and the offensive was even more crazy, but the Liang army in the city, suddenly, found that they could not see the generals of Dai Chao and Zhu Youyu, and they were immediately panicked, and the morale of the army plummeted in an instant.

On the north and south sides of Chang'an, they were immediately in danger everywhere.
