It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the people were sleeping soundly at this time, and although the city walls were densely guarded, there were only a few patrols in the streets of the city, and there were no other sentry posts. Why, because Yang Fan is smart, he thinks that Tang Jun put Kong Ming Lantern to harass them, so that they are afraid and dare not take a good rest. He thought that he had seen through the Tang army's plan, so he asked the soldiers to rest well, smash the Tang army's conspiracy, as long as the city wall was guarded, the city was in the city, the normal night patrol, it didn't have to be too strict, could the Tang army still fly in?

He was smart this time but was mistaken by being smart, Tang Jun really flew in, Li Hao's high-tech is not what Yang Fan can imagine, the ancients were full of illusions about flying, but they have never really realized, even if Zhuge Liang invented the Kong Ming lantern a long time ago, so many years earlier than the West, but no one has studied it, why the Kong Ming lantern can fly, and no one has made a bold attempt to make the Kong Ming lantern bigger, big enough to carry people, isn't that a hot air balloon.

The sages of our country do have many great discoveries and inventions, but they are all stifled by feudal thoughts, those geniuses who study equipment, are regarded as sideways, even if they are recognized by the emperor, they will be excluded by the ministers of the court, and are looked down uponThis is the greatest sorrow of ancient China.

There were only 1,000 Tang troops who successfully infiltrated the city this time, and nearly 200 people broke their legs, and some even broke their bones, all of them found a hidden and dark place to hide, although they were not able to complete the task of seizing the city gate, but they had a new task, that is, to hide themselves and not be discovered.

On the street in front of the north gate of Wang Ting, two groups of patrols have been quietly resolved, eight hundred Tang troops gathered here, Xue Yinglong called the captains of each squad to his side, and said in a low voice: "There is an urn city at the north gate, now most of the guards are above the city head, there are about thirty guards at the inner city gate, there should be one to two thousand soldiers and horses in the urn city, two thousand above the city head, it takes about three minutes for the men and horses in the city to support the city head, we must take the two gates of the urn city within three minutes." ”

One of the captains frowned, "Three minutes? So short? ”

"Don't worry." Xue Yinglong said, "There is an army of the chief manager of Fan outside the city to help, we should be together inside and outside, it should be very soon, and I will see the chief manager put the Kong Ming lantern outside the north gate, which means that the general manager of Fan is ready, we will sound the arrow as a signal, launch an impact, first kill the guards guarding the inner gate, send people to guard the inner gate, and others rush to the city to seize the city wall, this is particularly important, the inner city gate cannot be opened from the urn city, as long as the city wall is captured, you can shoot the soldiers and horses in the urn city, plus the army of the chief manager, the victory is in hand. ”

"Okay, that's it!" Everyone nodded.

They waited for about half an hour, and hundreds of bright lights floated in the northern sky, and Xue Yinglong said excitedly: "Chief Manager Fan is ready, let off the arrow!" ”

Someone immediately pulled out a large crossbow, pointed it at the sky, lit the fuse with a match, and fired the arrow into the air.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and a large firework exploded over the royal court.

Fan Lihua looked at the fireworks in the sky above the royal court, raised the silver spear and pointed directly at the royal court, and shouted: "Siege!" ”

The Tang army shouted and attacked the royal court.

The huge explosion woke up the whole city, Yang Fan was inspecting the city wall at the east of the city at the moment, because the Tang army had been using the main army to attack the east city gate, so he attached great importance to the east city gate.

When he saw the exploding fireworks, his heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted: "The whole army is on alert, the Tang army is ready to attack at night!" ”

He did not give the order to blow the trumpet, because he was afraid that this was another tactic of the Tang army to harass the enemy.

"Woo-" The low sound of the horn sounded, spreading throughout the city, Yang Fan's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look north, and the sound of the horn came from the north city wall.

"Could it be ......" Yang Fan suddenly thought of a terrible thing, the Tang army might transfer its combat strength and attack the north gate at night, the north gate is not like the east gate, it is not blocked.

"Pass my military orders! All the armies in the city quickly support the North Gate! Yang Fan said as he strode towards the northern city wall.

The thirty guards guarding the inner gate of the north gate were ready to open the city gate and let the soldiers and horses in the urn city come out, so that they could go up to the city wall to participate in the battle, if there were 4,000 defenders on the city wall, it would be enough to withstand more than 10,000 siege troops, but they were just about to open the door, countless arrows rained down, only a rain of arrows, and all thirty fell in a pool of blood.

Xue Yinglong led everyone to run wildly and came to the inner city gate, and the enemy at the head of the city found them, and someone shouted in Western Turkic: "Oops, there are enemies in the city!" There is a Tang army in the city! ”

So countless feathered arrows attacked them, Xue Yinglong hurriedly led everyone to hide under the city gate, and then said: "Seven teams, eight teams, you two hundred people stay here, guard this gate, without my permission, don't open the door, unless I die!" ”

"Yes!"

"Others! Follow me! Xue Yinglong shouted, and led everyone to brave the rain of arrows and rushed to the city head from the stairs on both sides, at this moment the Tang army outside the city had begun to approach the city wall, and the defenders at the city head had to aim their bows and arrows at the Tang army outside the city to prevent them from approaching.

And in the royal court, there were torches everywhere at this moment, and those torches converged on the north city gate, and on the north city wall, the horns blew more and more urgently.

The defenders of the city head are tired of dealing with the Tang army outside the city, Xue Yinglong they naturally have a chance, rushing to the city wall is a fight, due to the innovation of Tang metallurgical technology now, the exquisite Tang knife has become the standard weapon of the Tang army, the Tang knife is known as the pinnacle of knife casting technology in the history of our country, its forging skills have been lost in the future world, the power of the Tang knife is very terrible, and the current group of Tang army, after strict training, the most important thing is that they are not afraid of death, afraid of death with a ball, do not take the royal court, they have to starve to death, I'm still afraid of hair.

After the six hundred Tang troops rushed to the city wall, they actually killed the two thousand defenders at the head of the city, but fortunately, more than two thousand defenders came to support on the east and west city walls, so as to stabilize the position, but at this moment the Tang army has begun to climb the city, countless ladders appear next to the battlements, and the huge rushing vehicles are gradually approaching the city gate.

The countless torches in the city were already very close to the north gate, and all the people of the seventh and eighth teams turned their backs to the city gate, picked up strong crossbows, wound their arrows, and aimed them outside.

A team of more than 500 people appeared, rushed towards this side, and fired a volley of crossbow arrows, and immediately more than 100 people fell to the ground and died, and those Western Turkic soldiers immediately rushed towards them, and they wanted to take the city gate and release the 2,000 soldiers and horses in the urn city, and at this moment, if there were more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, it would be enough to turn the tide of the war.

How could the men of the seventh and eighth teams let them get their wish, and they wound again, salvo, wind, salvo, four rounds of shooting, and there were only 100 of the 500 Western Turkic soldiers left, and they rushed to them and fought for a while, and all of them died under the Tang sword, and a large number of torches appeared at the corner of the street, and someone came again, and they all wound up again, and waited for the battle.

At the head of the city, Xue Yinglong led more than 600 people, only half of them were left at the moment, but the number of people they killed was definitely more than 800, and they successfully dragged the defenders at the head of the city, and there were already more than 200 Tang troops climbing to the head of the city, this number is still increasing, if the local reinforcements do not come to support, it will not take more than three minutes, and this city wall will be lost.

"Boom! Bang! At this moment, the two thousand Western Turkic soldiers and horses in the urn city were extremely anxious, but they were helpless, no one opened the inner city gate for them, they were the turtles in the urn, and they could only do it in a hurry.

A large number of soldiers and horses of the Western Turks are converging at the north city gate, there are two thousand people, rushing towards the inner gate, the people of the seventh and eighth teams are heartbroken when they see this, there is no way, it seems that they are going to die here, even so, they still keep shooting, they can kill one to earn one, kill two to earn a pair.

At this moment, countless arrows flew from the head of the city, shooting hundreds of these people, and the Western Turkic army was blocked, only to find that countless Tang troops were rushing down on the city, there were as many as seven or eight hundred, and the city wall had been taken by the Tang army in half.

This group of Western Turkic troops roared wildly and rushed towards the Tang army, they must take back the north gate, otherwise the royal court will be finished.

"Kill!" The Tang army also roared, there were bows and arrows, and those who did not have bows and arrows rushed to the inner gate to defend the inner gate together, they must hold here, as long as they hold on for a while, the overall situation will be decided, otherwise all of them will die.

Yang Fan personally rushed to the north city wall with 2,000 men and horses, and the Tang army fought on the top of the city, but no one went to stop the Tang army from ascending the city, and tens of thousands of Tang troops outside the city continued to go up the city wall, and there were more and more Tang troops on the city wall, gradually forcing back the Yang Fan army, occupying the entire north city wall, and countless archers shot arrows into the urn city, and shot all the 2,000 men and horses in the urn city.

"Open the door!" Xue Yinglong ran to the city wall and shouted downward.

"Roar!" The only remaining four hundred Tang troops guarding the city gate let out a beastly roar, a roar of excitement, because they knew that their mission was accomplished.

More than a dozen people braved the rain of arrows to push the door latch, the inner door slowly opened, with the light of countless torches, it could be seen that in the urn city, there were corpses everywhere, and each corpse had at least seven or eight arrows tied to it, like a Shura slaughterhouse.

Yang Fan originally wanted to be dying, but when he saw such a situation, he immediately sighed, and said without hesitation: "Quickly send an order to all the troops to retreat from the West City Gate with me!" The royal court couldn't hold it. ”

At this moment, there was chaos in the royal court, and hundreds of people gathered in front of the west gate and asked the defenders to open the door, but the defenders did not allow it, because they were not allowed to open the door without the order of the commander.

A team came in a hurry, led by Ashina Helu, followed by the civil and military ministers and his thousands of guards, Ashina Helu shouted under the city: "Open the door to Ben Khan!" ”

"Khan forgiveness!" Yang Xing, the gatekeeper at the head of the city, saluted and replied in a loud voice, "Yang Dashuai has orders, and he is not allowed to open the door without his consent!" ”

Ashina Helu was furious when he heard this: "Bastard! I'm a Khan! I'll let you open the door! ”

Yang Xing said loudly again: "The Khan forgives the sin, without Yang Dashuai's order, you can't open the door, even if the Khan is there in person." ”
