Chapter 429: Fierce Street Fighting

In addition to the first wave, the Shu army invested the strength of the three battalions of Yang'an, Wudang Zuo and Wudang Right, and then put the left battalion of Hubu and the right battalion of Hubu into it, it can be said that the initial offensive of the Shu army invested 25,000 troops, and these 25,000 people all rushed in from the gap in the southern city wall, becoming an unstoppable torrent.

Hu Shi led hundreds of people to rush forward, and soon he sadly found that his actions were just a mantis arm as a car, with only such a small number of troops, how could he resist the wolf-like attack of the Shu army. Knowing that nothing could be done, Hu Shi had no choice but to give up the attempt to intercept, defeated in disgrace, and led the remnants to retreat in the direction of Changle Palace.

After Zhang Le entered the city, he couldn't hold back his excitement, dancing and jubilation, Chang'an, you must know that this is the first big city in the real sense conquered by the Shu army, in order to achieve this goal, Shu Han has gone through several generations of unremitting efforts, but for more than 40 years, this goal has been unattainable.

And today, Zhang Le took the lead in attacking Chang'an City, which fulfilled the dream of several generations of Shu people, and Zhang Le was the first to set foot in Chang'an City, this pride and glory were enough to give him a bragging capital for the rest of his life. Look, do you see, this Chang'an City was the first to be taken by your Zhang Ye, and this banner of restoring the Han family was also carried by your Zhang Ye alone. Cow or not? Zhang Le couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

However, for the Shu army, the battle is far from stopping, and there are more than 40,000 Wei soldiers in Chang'an City, which are still far away from Sima Wang. Therefore, Zhang Le's celebration was also in moderation, and he would join Zhao Zhuo, who then entered the city, and led the army to advance into Chang'an City.

Although it is said that Chang'an City is only the imperial city of the former Han Dynasty, since the Later Han Dynasty, it has been until Cao Wei. The palaces of Chang'an City have been well preserved as the existence of the accompanying capital.

The palaces of Chang'an City include Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace, North Palace, Mingguang Palace, and as for Jianzhang Palace, it is located in the western suburbs of Chang'an, which obviously cannot be counted in the city. The palace of Chang'an City is divided into two parts, Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are located in the south of the city. And Gui Palace, North Palace, Mingguang Palace is located in the north of the city, these palace groups almost occupy most of the Chang'an City, although since the Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi ascended the throne, the Wei emperors of the past dynasties have rarely come to Chang'an, but these palaces in Chang'an City have been properly protected, the tall palace wall and the majestic city wall of Chang'an City complement each other, each other is the inside and outside.

When Hu Shipai retreated, he did not flee indiscriminately, but purposefully chose to flee to Changle Palace. Prepare to gather the Wei army stationed in Changle Palace and build a corresponding defense line to resist the attack of the Shu army.

The news of the loss of the southern city wall quickly spread throughout Chang'an, and the Wei army in the south of the city began to abandon their established positions and began to converge towards the gap.

The city wall was originally a defensive barrier for a city, but now there was a sudden and inexplicable explosion, and the entire section of the city wall collapsed, and the Shu army poured into the city along the gap. At this moment, it has become insignificant to wait on the city wall, so the Wei troops waiting on the city wall in each section have withdrawn from the city wall. They rushed forward to stop the offensive of the Shu army.

The troops guarding Chang'an were among the most elite troops under Sima Wang's command, and they did not become scattered because of the fall of the southern city wall, on the contrary, they were under the leadership of commanders and colonels at all levels. Joined the ranks of blocking the Shu army.

When the Wei generals in the east and west of the city heard the news of the fall of the southern city, they were not only shocked, but also deeply felt that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold, and they all sent troops to reinforce the defenders in the south of the city.

Soon, the Wei army had another numerical advantage. The two sides engaged in fierce street fighting in the south of the city.

Liu Yin did not get carried away because of the huge victory, not to mention that he did not capture Sima Wang's head, Chang'an City was not taken down, and now the resistance encountered by the Shu army after entering the city is a normal phenomenon, after all, it is Sima Wang's elite army, and it will never collapse easily.

Street battles were staged nervously in the southern city of Chang'an, and even if the Shu army wanted to take a step forward, it had to pay a lot of price.

Street fighting was originally a form of battle in the most chaotic state, the streets and alleys of the city, most of them were narrow, and the Wei army, which was familiar with the geographical situation of Chang'an City, did not mess up at the moment because their commander-in-chief was still in the northern city, but relied on the buildings in the city to block the Shu army everywhere.

Now the Shu army has invested 25,000 infantry, which is already the limit of what the Shu army can invest infantry, and the city wall at the gap collapsed. Originally, the piles of earth and stones on the city walls were gathered together, at least one or two feet high, and the infantry could climb the ruins, but the same road could not mobilize cavalry troops into the city.

Liu Yin immediately ordered Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo to immediately send troops to attack the Bacheng Gate in the east of the city and the Zhangcheng Gate in the west of the city.

Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo and Ma Rongyi combined, Zhang Le led most of the men and horses of the Yang'an camp to advance to the Bacheng Gate in the east, Zhao Zhuo led the Wudang left battalion to the west of the Zhangcheng Gate, Ma Rong led the Wudang right battalion to fight in the south of the city, and together with the reinforcements that came later, the Hubu left battalion and the Hubu right battalion advanced in the direction of Changle Palace Weiyang Palace to clear the enemy in the city.

Outside the city, the left and right battalions of the tiger cavalry are concentrated outside the Bacheng Gate in the east, and Yao Yikang's 30,000 Qiang cavalry are concentrated outside the Zhangcheng Gate in the west, after all, siege is not the strength of the cavalry, in the face of the towering city wall, these cavalry are really a bit of a dog biting hedgehog, nowhere to bite the feeling.

Fortunately, Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo were slashed and killed in the city, and they fought their way out of the chaotic battle, and killed them respectively to the Bacheng Gate and the Zhang City Gate.

Whether it is the defense of that city, it is weak from the outside enemy, after all, the city wall is external rather than internal, Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo killed under the Bacheng Gate and Zhangcheng Gate, and easily broke through the defense of the defenders, killed the Wei soldiers, and opened the city gate.

The tiger cavalry battalion first entered the Bacheng Gate, followed by the Qiang cavalry also entered the Zhangcheng Gate, with the addition of these two new forces, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Shu army, although the streets and alleys are not the stage for the field cavalry to gallop wantonly, but the impact of the powerful cavalry to the Wei army is still not negligible, under the coordinated operation of the Shu army's infantry and cavalry, the Wei army has been defeated and retreated, and the defense line in the entire south of the city has tended to collapse.
