Chapter 171: Bloody Chang'an City (12)

Although the speed of the soldier is a famous saying of the soldiers, it also depends on the occasion, and it is not applicable at any time, at least in this kind of melee tonight, it will not work very well, without him, Li Zhen has long known that the brothers have sent people to monitor the whereabouts of their own troops, and they also know that Hou Junji will definitely lead the army to appear in the area of Chengtianmen, where the army is empty, but well, Li Zhen knows better - Hou Junji's main attack direction will definitely not be in Chengtianmen, but another ambush, besides, in Li Zhen's opinion, How could a veteran soldier like Hou Junji not think that if he launched a siege war, he would definitely be attacked by reinforcements, and how could he not defeat the ambush soldiers killed from Dongdajie first, since Li Tai wanted to grab the credit, then simply let him grab it, and after Li Tai and his group touched the ashes, it would be too late to make another move, right? Therefore, after Li Zhen and Li Su, the king of Shu, divided their troops, in addition to the first part of the road was in a hurry, the back was leisurely walking, unhurriedly towards Chengtianmen, sure enough, when Li Zhen led his troops out of the East Street, he happened to see the soldiers and horses of the Wei Wangfu being beaten and fled, and immediately laughed in his heart, which was much happier than eating a popsicle in the dog days!

Fucking fourth, look at your turtle grandson and dare to calculate Lao Tzu, hehe, this time you will lose all your blood, haha, what you didn't say, just one word "cool"! Li Zhen was proud in his heart, but his face was faint, not even expression, and he did not urge his subordinates to speed up the horse, but slowly led his troops into the square in front of Chengtian Gate, leisurely and leisurely in the distance of about 100 meters from Hou Junji's department, slowly and methodically reorganized the queue, as if the Hou people did not exist, and Hou Junji was depressed for a while - Li Zhen's department was all cavalry, and the mobility was ridiculously strong, if Hou Junji sent troops to attack, the whole army could not catch up with Li Zhen's department, and he sent cavalry to go, Obviously, he was going to die, after all, how strong Li Zhen's soldiers and horses were, Hou Junji still had a good idea in his heart, and he had no choice but to watch Li Zhen arranging troops there, not to mention how greasy it was.

Tsk, an old monkey is an old monkey, it's really not covered, you can bear it, damn it, don't be fooled? Ha, if you don't attack, you're welcome! Li Zhen deliberately slowly formed the team, just to see if Hou Junji would not be able to resist the urge to shoot, and led the army to attack, but he didn't expect that he had been grinding for a while, but he had never been able to deceive Hou Junji. If Li Zhen's troops attacked rashly, once they were entangled by Hou Junji's infantry, the cavalry in the inner circle could rush out from the inner ring along the gap specially left in the infantry formation and attack Li Zhen's troops from the flank. It is indeed difficult to attack, but it is still necessary to attack, and if Hou Junji's department is not defeated as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will affect Li Zhen's next plan, so not only must we attack, but also attack fiercely, attack skillfully, and strive to defeat the enemy army here as soon as possible.

Li Zhen put the bright silver spear in his hand on the victory hook, called the captain of the guard, Chen Liang, to his side and whispered a few words, then took out the big iron bow from the quiver, drew out three feather arrows, and said: "The whole army listens to the order: the arrow is wound, follow the king!" As soon as the words fell, he took the lead towards the position of the Hou family's army, but he did not directly kill the enemy formation, and suddenly turned the horse's head halfway, roaring to the right, and at the same time, he raised the big iron bow in his hand and shouted: "Let go of the arrow!" Immediately, he quickly sent out the three feather arrows with a series of arrows, and the cavalry that followed behind did the same, and in an instant, more than a thousand feather arrows roared like locusts towards the circle of the Hou family's army.

Hou Junji, who was nervously watching the dynamics of Li Zhen's department, originally thought that Li Zhen would rely on the courage of blood and qi to launch a strong attack, and had already ordered the archers in the outer circle to stand by, planning to give Li Zhen a baptism of arrow rain, but he never thought that there was still a hundred and twenty steps away from the circle Li Zhen's department suddenly turned a corner, and when he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a bowstring trembling sound, and immediately knew that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Release the arrow, release the arrow quickly!" In an instant, a rain of arrows also roared out from the round formation of the Hou family's army, which was already ready to fly, and covered Li Zhen's department.

Distance, damn distance! It stands to reason that the bows in the hands of the cavalry are all riding bows, in terms of bow power, they are not as good as the big bows used by the infantry, and if the two sides shoot at each other, the cavalry may not be able to take advantage, but Li Zhen's troops are all carefully selected battlefield masters, everyone has a hard bow, and the worst guards use a three-stone bow, in terms of range, compared to the two and a half stone conventional bows used by most soldiers in the Hou family's army, it is farther and not much, that is, twenty or thirty steps, but the problem is precisely in such a small gap, The rain of arrows on both sides flew out almost at the same time, but the effect was very different - the soldiers of the Hou family were all elite soldiers trained by Hou Junji, and the elite soldiers in this place were the elite soldiers, the archery skills were quite good, and the amount of anything in advance could be counted as a ** not far from ten, and the shooting was also very accurate, but this rain of arrows was about to shoot out, except for a few dozens of feather arrows that fell into the rampaging Yue Wangfu cavalry queue, killing and wounding more than a dozen people, most of them fell to the side front of the cavalry array, Except for smashing the ground paved with stone slabs, there was no effect, but the rain of arrows in Li Zhen's department was different, and almost all the dense feather arrows fell into the Hou family's army array, and they immediately shot down a large area, and the screams of the dead and wounded resounded in the sky.

In the first round, Hou Jiajun suffered a big loss, but the matter was still not over, but seeing Li Zhen's department rushed along the arc for a while, and then went around again, it was still the same technique, and once again shot the dense arrow rain at Hou Jiajun, this time Hou Jiajun who was in chaos couldn't even shoot a bow to counterattack, he could only take a fat beating in vain, two rounds down, Hou Jiajun suffered heavy casualties, more than 300 people died under the arrow alone, and there were even more injuries, let Li Zhen come a few more times, There is no need to fight this battle anymore, and it is better to sit back and wait for death.

"Cavalry attack!" Hou Junji naturally understood that there would be no defeat or victory if he continued to fight like this, and he couldn't care about it so much, seeing that Li Zhen's department was going around in circles, he did not hesitate to issue an order to attack, and suddenly the four hundred cavalry who had been on standby for a long time immediately rushed out of the circle formation along the gap soldiers specially set aside in the circle formation, and then combined the troops in one place, adjusted into a conical cavalry assault formation while rushing, and rushed towards Li Zhen's department, trying to take advantage of Li Zhen's department when it was turning around, cut into it horizontally, and divided Li Zhen's department into two, once successful, If Hou Junji commanded the infantry to rush forward, Li Zhen's department in the melee would be able to win, but he was afraid that the loss would not be small.

Ha,, it's finally out! When Li Zhen saw that the cavalry of the Hou family army had attacked, he was not surprised but rejoiced, and shouted: "Chen Liang, you command the rear army, and the front army is with this king!" As soon as the words fell, he casually threw aside the big iron bow in his hand, took the bright silver spear from the victory hook, set up a red horse, and led the front army to meet the Hou family army that rushed over, and only more than 500 cavalry immediately followed behind Li Zhen and rushed out, while Chen Liang led the rear army to rush out horizontally in the same direction, and made a circle not far away, from the side to the back of the Hou family army cavalry, and rushed straight to the Hou family army infantry in the whole team.

Kill! Kill! Kill! Blood is burning! At this moment, Li Zhen has nothing in his heart except for a killing intent, and there is only the cone that the cavalry of the Hou family army is getting closer and closer in his eyes - Li Zhen, who is familiar with cavalry tactics, knows very well that the triangular cone formation is not good for defense, and the strongest attack is the cone head, if you want to defeat the Hou family army as soon as possible, there are only two ways: one is to attack from the flank, but the problem is that now the two sides are facing each other, and there is no way to attack in a roundabout way, so you can only use the second method, that is, a strong attack, with the strongest against the strongest, as long as you can break the tip of the cone, ** cone formation, this formation will be broken! Of course, it is by no means easy to do this, how can someone who has no extraordinary ability cut in?

It's closer, it's closer, although it's in the dark night, you can already see the hideousness on the face of the enemy general on the cone through the moonlight, Li Zhen shouted violently: "Kill!" "Kick the horse's belly, the body and the horse are one, the hand holding the bright silver spear like a sharp arrow off the string rushed up, the wrist shook, the bright silver spear gently swung, opened the enemy will stab the spear, homeopathic send, the gun has accurately pierced the enemy general's chest, both hands forced, the gun body lifted, the enemy general was thrown to the enemy's rear, smashed in the chaos, and then shouted loudly, the gun body shook and stabbed several spears in the face, and the men and horses rushed into the enemy formation, The guards who followed Li Zhen immediately rushed in through the gap opened by Li Zhen, and smashed the cone-shaped formation of the Hou family's army into pieces.

"Death to those who stand in my way! Kill! Li Zhen roared wildly and killed in the chaos of the army, the bright silver spear in his hand danced fast, blocking, picking, stabbing, sweeping, teasing, and killing the Hou family cavalry who rushed to his side one by one, and in an instant he had killed from the front of the formation to the back of the formation, and the enemy soldiers who died under his guns were as many as ten, five, or six horsemen.

At the same time that Li Zhen attacked the cavalry cone formation of the Hou family's army, Chen Liang, who was killed from the left flank, also led his troops to brave sporadic feather arrows to kill the infantry of the Hou family's army, which was in the Hou family's army formation like a dragon in the sea, and the Hou family's army, which had no formation and no cavalry cover, suddenly became a mess, but the Hou family's soldiers were indeed a strong army, although they were rushed into the formation by Chen Liang, they did not collapse, they still gritted their teeth and resisted desperately, and rushed to Chen Liang's department one after another. At the cost of hundreds of lives, the speed of Chen Liang's troops was restricted, and Chen Liang's troops, who could not maneuver, had to fall into a bitter battle, and the two sides were strangled together, although the casualties of the Hou family army were far greater than those of Chen Liang's troops, but they also caused Chen Liang's troops to lose a lot of men and horses.

Shit, shit! Li Zhen's eyesight is very good, as soon as he saw that Chen Liang's department was in a bitter battle, he couldn't help but be anxious and angry, these more than a thousand guards were all picked out by Li Zhen for seeds, once the damage was too big, the future days would not be easy, and he had the heart to continue to rush forward and go straight to the infantry camp of the Hou family's army, but he never thought that the remnants of the Hou family's cavalry that had been broken that the three hundred people and horses who could not ride were gathered together in the distance, and killed his side again, if Li Zhen rushed into the infantry formation of the Hou family's army, then these three hundred cavalry outflanked from behind, Li Zhen not only couldn't rescue Chen Liang's department, but he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the situation of falling into a bitter battle, and in desperation, Li Zhen had no choice but to grit his teeth, ignoring the war on Chen Liang's side, and shouted with a war horse, holding a bright silver spear in his hand: "Follow this king, kill them all!" He led his troops to go around not far from the infantry camp of the Hou family's army, and regardless of the sporadic dark arrows shot in the Hou family's army's formation, he turned around and killed the Hou family's cavalry who were rushing in a hurry......

At three o'clock, the east, north, and south directions of the imperial city were raging in the war, and the battle was in full swing, but the west side of the imperial city was always calm, and it was not attacked by the war at all, which made the soldiers of the Yulin Army who defended the west gate feel very lucky, and they couldn't help but relax a little - although because of the tension of the war, there were also many sentinels patrolling back and forth on the west gate of the city, but the number was small, and there was no spirit, just to deal with errands, without him, the west of the imperial city was the palace where the palace maids and eunuchs lived. There are also some low-level palace maids and little eunuchs who are not of much grade, but all the people with grades generally live in the inner court, only those who do rough work live in the Yeting Palace, and there is only one palace gate in the west of the entire imperial city - West Gate, that is, West Gate, not even a formal name, there is another name - dung door, which is used for dung removal in the palace, the door is very small, not even one-third of the Chengtian Gate, in front of the door except for the Jinshui River that winds along the palace wall, there is no square. There is only a small bridge one zhang wide leading to the outside of the palace, entering the west gate is a large area of low stone houses, the road is complex and tortuous, and it is very narrow, if you are not familiar with the terrain, you may not be able to find the way out of it all day long, in the past, there were only more than 100 Yulin officers and soldiers guarding the west gate, and they were all thorns who offended people and were relegated to here, now the war is tense, the Yulin army sent to the west gate is a little more, but the full fight is five or six hundred troops, most of the officers and soldiers are lazy at the moment, Sleeping and sleeping, nonsense, there are less than 100 officers and soldiers patrolling the city gate.

It is true that the Yulin army guarding the west gate is lazy, but there is a sufficient reason to be lazy - the only area around the west gate that can attack the imperial city is such a narrow area of more than ten zhang near the city gate tower, and there are more soldiers who can't line up in formation, and they can't board the palace city, besides, even if they can take the west gate, the chaotic army enters the Yeting Palace, and they must be lost in those chaotic paths, and it is difficult to enter the outer court smoothly, not to mention that if you want to rush into the inner court from the outer court, you have to pass the checkpoint of the Qianhua Gate, so Although the battle outside the imperial city was raging, the officers and soldiers of Yulin guarding the west gate were always at ease, and did not pay attention to the fierce battle outside the palace.

Negligence always has problems, this is an eternal principle, and it is also the same at this time - just when Li Zhen led his troops to rush into the square in front of Chengtian Gate, a group of black-clothed masked people with strange actions emerged from the slums outside the West Gate, quietly approached the Jinshui River under the cover of night, and slid into the river silently, and after a while, the palace wall of the imperial city was pasted from the river on the right side far away from the city gate tower, and then several black-clothed people climbed up silently like geckos along the city wall, and soon went to the top of the city, and then followedDozens of ropes hung down from the city wall, and sixty or seventy black-clothed men climbed up the city wall along the ropes, covering each other and touching the city gate.

"Who, who's there?" A soldier of the Yulin Army, who was standing bored at the gate tower of the city, suddenly heard a sound in the darkness at the far end of the city wall, and thought that it was a colleague who ran to the other end to make it convenient, but he just asked casually, but he never thought that it was a dart that answered him, and the soldier of the Yulin Army who was hit in the chest by the dart immediately screamed miserably and fell from the top of the city.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Several sharp-eyed Yulin officers and soldiers found that the enemy had touched the city gate tower, and immediately shouted in panic, and the silence of the west gate was broken in an instant, and the panicked Yulin officers and soldiers rushed out of the city gate tower in a chaotic manner, and each sword and gun attacked the black-clothed masked man who rushed to the city gate tower, and the two sides immediately became a ball.

Masters, all masters, don't look at the attack of less than seventy people in black, but all of them are masters of the rivers and lakes, not at all this Yulin Army can compete, not to mention that the officers and soldiers who were sent to Ximen are the group with the worst combat effectiveness in the Yulin Army, don't look at these guys rushed forward with a courageous look, but as soon as they fought, dozens of people were immediately killed by the men in black, and even the Yulin Army General who was in charge of guarding the city was killed by someone with a knife, so, A group of old soldiers immediately retreated several times faster than rushing up, spread their legs and fled in all directions, the group of black-clothed people did not chase after the fleeing Yulin officers and soldiers, but divided more than a dozen people to rush down the stairs next to the city gate, the door bolt on the west gate was removed, more than a dozen people shouted, the thick palace gate was slowly pushed open, not long after, a rush of footsteps sounded in the darkness in the distance, more than three hundred black-clothed people rushed out of the slums, along the small bridge into the palace of the court......
