Chapter 165: Bloody Chang'an City (6)
The comparison of the war is not entirely the strength of the two sides, but to see who has the initiative, the party with the initiative is often the ultimate winner, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign examples of how many weak defeats the strong have proved this, at this moment, the battle of Beijing has been fought for more than half an hour, although the final winner has not yet been distinguished, but there is a Li Zhen can be determined, that is, the initiative of the war is slowly moving from Hou Junji to the old man's side - at the beginning of the war, the old man is in the light, Hou Junji is in the dark, when to fight, How to fight, the decision is in the hands of Hou Junji, but as time goes by, although Hou Junji is fierce, but may not be able to achieve an overwhelming advantage, with the passage of time, the old man secretly arranged those means will slowly surface, as long as Hou Junji still can't capture the palace at dawn, this battle Hou Junji and his gang will lose. Of course, these are all analyses of the overall situation, specifically for Li Zhen herself, if she wants to gain the capital to gain a foothold in this war, the prerequisite is also to have the initiative, whether it is to attack in time to reinforce the palace, but the initiative to decide when to attack must be grasped in your hands, so that you can attack and retreat.
War is never a child's play, a small careless negligence can cause a fiasco, this Li Zhen knows very well, the reason why Li Zhen let Dou Fulin's department deploy at the entrance of Orange Street, in fact, it is not really to ask Dou Fulin's department to cover the back road of the whole army, but is just worried that the gang will not be able to send a useful Yulin army to fight and drag his own hind legs - in Li Zhen's opinion, the Han King and Hou Junji will never have too many people even if they add the Shu King Li Su's department, after all, now the east of the city, The north of the city, the west of the city, and even the Tongxun Gate and Xuanwu Gate of the palace have already ignited the flames of war, how can it be possible that there is still the strength to copy the back road of their own side, as for the Lin Yaowu department in the south of the city, it is by no means to participate in the attack on the palace, but it seems to be specially used to delay his own rush to the palace, and it is basically impossible to send any more troops to deal with his more than 2,000 men, but now he heard that Dou Fulin's department was attacked, which really surprised Li Zhen.
To tell the truth, to be able to successfully kill Lin Yaowu, Li Zhen has already taken a great risk, and also paid the price of blood, and finally cleaned up the hidden dangers of his own back road, but he didn't expect that there would be a thief army on South Street, so that Li Zhen's initiative that he had finally obtained was about to fly away - Dou Fulin's department is very virtuous Li Zhen is like a mirror in his heart, once those garbage old soldiers are attacked, if there is a danger to defend, maybe they can hold on for a while, and they can fight street battles on this street, It must be a situation of collapse at the touch of a button, it doesn't matter if they are defeated, but the shortest path for Li Zhen to return to the palace for reinforcements will also be cut off, unless Dou Fulin's troops can resist Li Zhen and lead his troops to arrive, taking advantage of the situation of the two armies to fight in one fell swoop, and strive to defeat the enemy in front of him, otherwise whether it is a detour or breaking through the enemy's interception, it is an extremely troublesome thing for Li Zhen, and how can Li Zhen not be in a hurry.
In a hurry, Li Zhen did not recklessly play Shizi to go to the meeting again, the reason is very simple: Lin Yaowu's soldiers are Nanya soldiers, not the private army of any general, even if the main general is reversed, those soldiers below will not follow the rebellion, only eliminate Lin Yaowu and others who are the leader, everything can be controlled in the hands of Li Zhen, after all, Li Zhen is a prince and a squire of the military department, and he still holds the holy decree in his hand, and his grasp is not small, but this time the enemy is unknown, and Li Zhen is injured, so he will not act rashly, can only keep urging his subordinates to hurry up and rush to the entrance of Orange Street, even if the thighs are bleeding nonstop, they can't care so much.
From the battlefield to repel the defenders of the South Gate to the entrance of Orange Street is not close, Rao is Li Zhen and his party galloped wildly and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to arrive at the scene, but as soon as they arrived at Orange Street, Li Zhen saw the battle situation, and suddenly some people couldn't cry or laugh - the battle was very fierce, but it was all based on one mouth, whether it was the officers and soldiers of Yulin or those who came to attack the enemy, they all pulled their throats, and they scolded endlessly with shrews scolding the street at a distance of more than 30 meters, and the sound was so loud that even the distant fighting and crying were all suppressed, The streets were full of scolding, and it was also thanks to the outstanding "ability" of the Ziyu Lin Army, and it was not good to fight, but the scolding streets were more than one cowhide, and they greatly gained the upper hand.
Fuck, this is what Fat Dou said about being attacked? No way! Li Zhen rode up to the front, his heart was furious, and he broke off and said, "Shut up!" This roar Li Zhen was full of true yang tricks, and it was really like a thunderbolt, and immediately suppressed all the shouting and scolding on the street.
"Your Highness, you are here, but the lower officials have always been worried about His Highness, hehe, Your Highness has returned from a great victory, congratulations!" Seeing that Li Zhen led his troops to arrive, Dou Fulin didn't speak well, so he hurriedly ran over, wiping his sweat with his sleeves and saying with a flattering smile.
Damn, this fat man dares to lie about the military, damn dog! Li Zhen saw Dou Fulin's fat face in the light of the torch, and suddenly became angry, but for the sake of Yulin Jun is old man's own soldiers, he didn't want to embarrass Dou Fulin too much, with a cold face, he glanced at Dou Fulin, and said calmly: "What's the matter?" ”
Although Dou Fulin has no ability, he still knows the military discipline and military regulations, and he also knows that he lied about the military situation in front of his head, and it is a big crime to follow the law, at this time, seeing Li Zhen's face is not good, his legs can't help but tremble, his eyes turned several times, he bowed down, and said with a little fear: "Your Highness, it's like this, you have confessed before, no military horse is allowed to pass, and the last general will not dare to slack off, and immediately arranged a defensive formation according to His Highness's instructions, but His Highness has just left, and a group of people and horses have arrived, Said that it was the people and horses of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, claiming to have an appointment with His Royal Highness, to see His Royal Highness, the last general did not know the truth, and he did not dare to let go, that group of people and horses broke through for a while, and was killed and injured by the last general, and the gang of dogs scolded the street recklessly, and the last general could not fall into the piece, so he scolded back, and then ......, hehe, and then His Royal Highness saw it, hehe, the last general will do according to His Royal Highness's orders, and will never let anyone pass through here, this article will dare to take the life guarantee. ”
Damn, the damn fat guy is really fucking going to shirk responsibility, it's worthy of being mixed up in the Yulin Army! Li Zhen saw Dou Fulin's order one by one, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, but he knew it in his heart - this must be the sixth child who couldn't wait for himself, and sent someone to find out the situation, the Yulin Army, which was all soldiers, must have fired arrows indiscriminately without waiting for anyone to speak, and injured the sixth person, which caused this war of words, if the sixth man's men and horses really want to break into battle, how can they stop this group of waste-like Yulin Army, but it is clear that Li Zhen will not blame Dou Fulin at this time, after all, although Dou Fulin is useless, can be regarded as his own people, and it is difficult to say whether the sixth man is now an enemy or a friend.
"Yue Wang Li Zhen is here, can the sixth brother be on the other side?" Since Li Zhen arrived, the Yulin army had stopped scolding the street, and the people and horses on the opposite side were also quiet, although Li Zhen's words were not loud, but they could be transmitted far away, but seeing a commotion in the opposite formation, Li Su, the king of Shu, walked out surrounded by several guards who lit torches, and arched his hands and said: "Eighth brother, my brother is here." ”
"Sixth brother, the younger brother is one step late, look at the sixth brother Haihan." As soon as Li Zhen saw Li Su coming out of the crowd, he also led Yan Shibai and the others to step forward on horseback, and said hello with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, it's good to come, it's good to come." Seeing Li Zhen showing up, Li Zhen smiled as if he was relieved, as if he didn't mind Li Zhen's appointment or even the conflict with Yulin Jun just now, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, how about taking a step to speak?" ”
Li Zhen's wound on her thigh has not been treated at the moment, and she is choking enough, but since the sixth child asks to talk in private, Li Zhen will not refuse, after all, now the sixth man also has more than 500 people, and there are many masters inside, which is a lot of strength, if he can't figure out his true movements, Li Zhen is really not at ease, therefore, when he heard the sixth man open his mouth, he didn't say anything more, just smiled and led the ** war horse towards the orange alley on the street. Riding a horse and walking silently beside Li Zhen, neither of the two brothers spoke first, just walked all the way.
"Eighth brother, the eighth brother promised what my brother said at noon, and now that the time has come, it's time to do it?" At the end, it was Li Zhen who took the lead and couldn't hold his breath, and looked at Li Zhendao with a solemn face.
Damn, this kid is still thinking about the fisherman's profit, hey, a bastard, I don't want to think that the palace is still fighting fiercely at this time, obviously Hou Junji does not have the absolute certainty of attacking the palace, even if he still has a back hand, but he may not be able to beat the old man's back move, this battle will come down, I am afraid that Hou Junji will lose a fine shot, hey, you want to die, Lao Tzu will not be accompanied! Li Zhen was already able to conclude at this time that Hou Junji was basically going to lose, even if there were still some twists and turns, there would definitely be no chance of victory, how could he still go with the sixth child to do those nonsense things without salt and vinegar, besides, Li Zhen didn't believe that Li Yuanchang would be stupid enough to hide in his own palace, and running to the Han Palace's mansion would definitely be an empty ending.
"Sixth brother, now that the palace is trapped, and my father is still in danger, if you can capture the thief and capture the king first, it will be a good way to solve this game, but you have to find the thief chief to put it can work, right? Now the top priority is to go to the palace first, and then make plans after relieving the siege of the palace, Uncle Seventh can't run. Although Li Zhen doesn't have much affection for a group of brothers, but for the sake of the same father after all, after thinking about it, he still mentioned it, and the meaning of that sentence is that at this time, your sixth brother sent troops to save the palace, and everything is still salvageable.
Li Zhen is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, Li Zhen said it vaguely, but he can still hear the meaning of the words, but the translator can still turn back to him is not sure in his heart, moreover, he does not have Li Zhen's keen sense of smell on the battlefield, and he can't immediately determine who can win in the final victory in this turmoil in Beijing, of course, he still knows Li Zhen's overall view, seeing that Li Zhen's words clearly revealed the information that Hou Junji will be defeated, for a while, some people were undecided, and their faces changed non-stop. But he never spoke again, but stood there silently on horseback.
Li Zhen didn't speak, but Li Zhen didn't have the patience to stand with him, after all, the wound on Li Zhen's thigh was still bleeding at this time, even if he had to send troops, he had to deal with the wound first, didn't he? Therefore, as soon as he saw that Li Su fell into deep thought, Li Zhen did not speak, turned the horse's head, returned to his own queue, jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand to call Yan Shibai to his side, and instructed him to immediately contact all the people and horses to understand the battle report, and then ordered two personal guards to come forward to help remove their armor, and half-lay on the ground to let the guards help deal with the knife wound on the thigh.
At two o'clock, the battle of Chang'an City has started for more than an hour, but it still does not stop, the fighting everywhere is still fierce, the sound of shouting and killing in the city has never stopped, except for the quiet south of the city, the rest of the place is still in flames, chaotic, maybe the heavens can't stand such a human scandal, a muffled thunder sounded, it rained in the sky, no longer the common drizzle in spring, but a downpour, bean-sized raindrops poured down, After a while, Chang'an City was submerged in the water curtain, and the fire in the city was also extinguished by the heavy rain, and both the offensive and defensive sides had to slow down their pace in this heavy rain, and the intensity of the battle was significantly reduced.
There is no doubt that this unexpected heavy rain is a headache for both sides, not to mention that the movement of soldiers is restricted, that is, the decision-makers of the battlefield have lost full control of the overall situation of the battlefield for a while due to heavy rain, it is obvious that accidents often mean the emergence of changes, but whether you can seize the fighter plane, the confusion caused by the heavy rain into an advantage or even victory is the time to test the ability of a front-line commander, this is similar for both sides, of course, in such a situation, The Tang Army, which was originally fighting on its own, took advantage of a lot, especially for veterans with rich combat experience, and Qin Huaiyu was undoubtedly the best among them, and his soldiers and horses took the lead in making breakthroughs.
Although Qin Huaiyu's martial arts are inferior to his father Qin Qiong, there is one thing that is the same as his father, that is, loyalty! Since the fire ignited in the north of the city and a large number of swimming torches appeared outside the city, Qin Huaiyu knew that Chang'an City had changed, and originally just ordered the defenders in the north of the city to pay close attention to the movements of the chaotic soldiers, but since the fire ignited at the end of the palace, Qin Huaiyu couldn't sit still, seeing that the torches swimming outside the city never launched an attack, and immediately concluded that the people outside the city must be suspicious soldiers, regardless of the fire near the north of the city, leaving more than 800 people to be led by the deputy general to defend the city wall, and he personally led a thousand soldiers and horses along the north street of the city to the palace, Encountered the enemy's interception near Wangchun Lane, although Qin Huaiyu launched several strong attacks, but because of the thieves' arson on the street, and most of the men and horses in the department were infantry, they were never able to break through the interception of the thieves, but they injured a lot of people, but Qin Huaiyu never flinched, and continued to wave his army to attack, until the heavy rain fell from the sky and controlled the raging fire, Qin Huaiyu, who was already anxious, finally waited for the appearance of the fighter.
"The army listened to the order: remove the armor, kill with the general, and the first to rush to the palace is considered a great achievement!" Qin Huaiyu saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the Tang officers and soldiers covered in armor were all struggling to move, and immediately shouted, took the lead in taking off the armor on their bodies, and threw the helmet on their heads to the ground, and rushed towards the barricades piled up by the chaotic army in the first place.
Confronting Qin Huaiyu is Hou Junji's second son Hou Guoxiao, this person is among the four princes of Chang'an City, although he is also considered to have some ability, under Hou Junji's full cultivation, whether it is Wen Taowu is good, but he has never experienced a real battle formation, just with the opportunity to hide in the shadows and the help of the fire, this only blocked Qin Huaiyu's several strong attacks, and when the heavy rain fell, he didn't realize that the battle situation would change, and he didn't expect Qin Huaiyu to dare to go into battle shirtless. At this time, he was hiding on the upper floor on the side of the street to observe the movements of Qin Huaiyu's side, and did not make any contingency measures at all, until Qin Huaiyu led the army to launch a decisive charge, only to find that things were not good, and hurriedly rushed downstairs, while turning over and getting on the horse, while shouting and ordering the whole army to gather to meet the enemy, but unfortunately it was too late, Qin Huaiyu had led his troops to break through the rain curtain and kill to the edge of the barricade.
"Block, don't mess around, kill with Ben!" Hou Guoxiao saw that the decline had appeared, and couldn't help but get anxious, and then saw that Qin Huaiyu, who was shirtless, was wantonly slaughtering his subordinates, unstoppable like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and suddenly roared angrily, leading the personal guards to kill Qin Huaiyu, trying to take advantage of the chaos to kill Qin Huaiyu by surprise, and capture the king first.
Seeing that the barricade that had not even been approached several times had now been breached, Qin Huaiyu was extremely excited, and regardless of the knives and guns that were slashed in all directions and the cold arrows that came from time to time, he just cared about shouting and fighting, the spear in his hand was circling and flying, and the spear saw blood, how could he be happy, but just when he was killing, he suddenly sensed the approach of danger, and before Qin Huaiyu could react, he saw that one person and one horse had already killed at high speed, and a spear had already pierced the rain curtain, and in an instant, it stabbed Qin Huaiyu's approach, At this time, the gun in Qin Huaiyu's hand was still inserted in the chest of a chaotic soldier, and it was too late to return the gun to parry, not to mention parrying, it was too late to hide at this hour - this shot came extremely fast, with a strong roar, even the thunder in the sky could not cover the sound waves that erupted from the gun cutting through the air, the angle was extremely awkward, and the target was between Qin Huaiyu's waist and ribs, even if Qin Huaiyu wanted to lie down and avoid it, there was no room for movement!
Death is singing! In the face of this killer shot, Qin Huaiyu's face instantly lost blood, and his pupils couldn't help but show a desperate light......
