Chapter 619: Chaotic Chang'an City

In Chang'an City, Tongjifang was almost tragically destroyed, all the residents were almost spared, Wang Teng left more than 1,000 imperial city guards, almost all the army was wiped out, only a few people took advantage of the chaos to flee Tongjifang, and the original residents of Tongjifang could not be like those imperial city guards, because their home was in Tongjifang, their everything was in Tongjifang, in the face of the fierce and inhumane Chang'an City defenders, the unarmed and powerless Tongjifang residents became the object of their anger.

Almost every mansion that seemed to be relatively wealthy was broken into, and the puppet Qi defenders who rushed into it quickly washed it out, and then carried large bags of loot, either behind their backs or tied to the saddle, and then quickly regrouped together and rushed to the next target again.

Anyone who dares to resist will end up in a different place and die with hatred. Even the old man and the child, in front of the pseudo-Qi defenders who have lost their reason and even their humanity, all their consciences have become insignificant, even if they are still infants, they will never frown or blink their eyes. In their eyes, their demands were very simple, money, treasures, women, but anyone who dared to stand in their way would be brutally persecuted.

In the streets and alleys, there are unclothed people running around, and then behind them, there are often a group of wild beasts with fangs and claws and hideous faces, and even some bloodthirsty cavalry, galloping war horses everywhere, but anyone who can see a living person who is still alive will not hesitate to urge the horse forward, and fill his inner desire with the blade in his hand.

Although Tongjifang is not large, there are probably thousands of households, and such a huge number is not even one-third of the original in just a few hours. And those residences, shops, wine shops, teahouses, and green buildings in Le Fang, in the sky-high firelight, gradually turned into ashes, and with the howling of the night wind, they quickly disappeared.

Hundreds of men were killed or captured, hundreds of old people and children's lives were ruthlessly tortured, hundreds of women were insulted and raped by the inhumane pseudo-Qi defenders, this night was destined to be a catastrophe in Tongjifang, from a quarrel between several people fighting each other, and finally evolved into a confrontation between the two armies, and recently brought a catastrophe to the entire Tongjifang.

Wang Teng left, the final choice, Wang Teng chose the first path given by Lin Feng, took Zi Yao, and immediately left Chang'an City with Lin Feng, completely giving up all his identity and fame and fortune, and leaving this hell on earth.

As for leaving, Lin Feng and the others had already prepared, in the secret room of the purchased mansion, Feng Kill's brothers had already dug a secret passage to the outside of the city, which was enough to ensure that everyone left Tongjifang and even Chang'an City safely. Lin Yan, who confronted Chen Wansan, Yuan Biao and Li Xiaofeng, did not dare to act rashly in the end, of course, this smart decision also saved his own life.

Before Lin Feng and the others left, Lin Yan learned Lin Feng's identity and understood the role Wang Teng had always played, but he didn't get angry, nor did he blame Wang Teng, let alone hate. It's not just because of the presence of Lin Feng and others that he doesn't dare to come nonsense, but he understands Wang Teng, and it seems that it is completely reasonable to do such a thing.

Lin Feng took all the people Feng killed and left Chang'an City through the secret passage that night, and Wang Teng's henchmen had no way out, so they chose to continue to follow Wang Teng. Lin Yan, on the other hand, took his only henchmen, remounted his war horse, rushed out of the house, vented all his anger on the rebels in Tongjifang, and at the same time, avenged the brothers who had died not long ago.

The melee in Tongjifang lasted until dawn, Zhang Li and his descendants had occupied the entire Suzaku Street, and nearly 200,000 defenders followed the general trend, temporarily following Zhang Li's troops, occupying every square of Chang'an City step by step, and the leading generals had begun to discuss the division of their respective forces on the table.

The original Chang'an City can be said to be divided into three major parts, except for the imperial city, that is, with Zhuque Street as the central axis, the east belongs to Wannian County, and the west belongs to Chang'an County. But now, Chang'an's one hundred and eight squares are divided into five major blocks by Zhang Li, the boundaries on both sides of Zhuque Street are directly under the jurisdiction of Zhang Li, and then the two sides originally belonged to the boundaries of Wannian County and Chang'an County, and then there are East City and West City as the boundary between north and south, that is to say, Chang'an County and Wannian County are almost divided into two large blocks, and the Middle City and West City are jointly owned, and they are divided together.

This series of measures, of course, was made by Zhang Li in order to win over a few generals with military power in his hands, and it was extremely fast, just before the sun completely rose, such a division had been implemented in the hands of the generals of all armies, and the entire Chang'an City began another great chaos a few years later.

On the adjacent streets of their respective territories, there are countless rebels stationed, and due to the division of forces, the defense of the city walls in their respective territories is naturally divided, but at this time, an extremely important question arises, who will attack the imperial city?

Among them, Zhang Li's number of soldiers and horses is the largest, plus the strength of his henchmen, it has reached 100,000 people, and the other four forces that are temporarily united with each other can only surpass Zhang Li, but the largest number of troops is only more than 40,000 people, in addition to maintaining the order of his own territory and maintaining the defense of the city wall, the general can pull out more than 10,000 usable soldiers.

And Zhang Li's defense task is the least, after Zhang Li and his generals discussed, if they attack the imperial city, the available troops are as many as 70,000 people, but in the face of the imperial city with 50,000 or 60,000 guards to defend the imperial city, these 70,000 people are obviously a little less, just to surround the imperial city, these people are almost useless, not to mention want to capture the imperial city. Moreover, there are not many siege equipment in Chang'an City, especially heavy weapons, which are almost negligible.

And in the imperial city, not only is there a lot of troops, but even the grain and grass stored in the treasury of Daming Palace are enough to sustain it, and more importantly, there is also a very deterrent figure in Daming Palace in the entire Daqi, that is, the emperor of pseudo-Qi, Huang Chao! For this alone, the rebels in Chang'an City have not dared to make up their minds to take the lead in attacking the Imperial City, and many of them are generals who followed Huang Chao back then, although it seems that Chang'an City seems to be under the control of Zhang Li, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and there are too many uncertain factors.

In addition, Li Yan, who had just followed Huang Chao back to Daming Palace the afternoon before and was appointed as the deputy guard of Chang'an, Zhang Li won an overwhelming victory in Tongjifang, so he sent his henchmen and generals to the military camp where Li Yan lived that night, and directly surrounded and suppressed them all, including Li Yan's henchmen.
