Chapter 26 The East and West Gates are Broken
Chapter 26: The East and West Gate
At the time of the battle between the south gate of the capital, at the same time, a siege battle occurred in the west gate and the east gate...
Before the start of the royal capital strategy, Tang Xian had divided the various armies evenly in the military and political council, and Li Nan led 300,000 to attack the south gate!
Ximen Wei Yancheng's veteran general: Liu Yang led 200,000 troops to attack!
The east gate is the lord of Nanyang City: Lin Gui leads 200,000 troops to attack!
Compared with the ground battle between Li Nan's army and the defenders in the south city, there were obviously fewer defenders at these two city gates, and they were all closed to guard against each other! They just couldn't come down, and they were just waiting for the righteous army to enter the range and then counterattack!
Because the law enforcement team members in the city have all gone to the main battlefield in the south, there are no law enforcement team members here at the east and west gates. The defenders at the two city gates all use the city walls as bunkers, and the attacks are mainly made of bows, arrows, sulphurs, and catapults...
At the west gate of the imperial city: Liu Yang's battleground
This is the fifth wave of attacks by the siege troops. Hundreds of cloud ladders were placed on the city walls, and the siege soldiers rushed up the cloud ladder fearlessly... Rain of arrows roared past his ears...
Smoke was everywhere on the city wall, and fire arrows were still shining with fire. There were corpses everywhere on the city wall.
Some soldiers even had an arrow in their chests, hung on the city wall, with their eyes open before their death...
A soldier was shot in an arrow in his left eye, without a scream, and raised his sword and rushed towards the enemy...
Some siege soldiers were pushed off the ladder by the enemy and fell down. Some were caught in arrows on their bodies. As long as they were still alive, they stood up without hesitation. As long as they could still climb, they climbed up the ladder again...
From the beginning, they fought for their meals, for their homes, for their killing of the law enforcement teams! for their glory!! At this moment... they fought for revenge!!!
Fight for comrades who had played and played!
Fight for those strange comrades who were killed by the enemy!
In order to avenge them!! Even if the battle is until the last moment!
For those brothers who have drunk together!
For the strange comrade-in-arms who helped me up when I fell to the ground, but he was killed by several arrows!... Because of the strange comrade-in-arms, he shouted "Kill!!!" before he died.
Even if I am already disabled!
Even though my body is already shaking!
Even if it flows to the last drop of blood!
Brother! As long as I can still wave the big knife!
Let me take your will and kill... the city wall!!
At this moment, the soldiers of the Justice Army only have one belief in their hearts! That is: Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill...
Under the firm belief in revenge, the siege soldiers who were fearless of death finally climbed up the ladder, stepped onto the city wall, and fought with the defenders on the city wall...
"Comrade-in-arms, I'll cut you one more time!"
More and more siege soldiers climbed up the city wall... The battle situation was overturned, and the righteous army attacked like a beast. Often, after an enemy died, they would have to cut three or four more knives before they would put away their knives and kill the enemy elsewhere!
"Defend it for me, I'll keep it for me!" General Zeng Er shouted on the defender on the city wall. While speaking, he also killed two siege soldiers.
"General Zeng! Let's retreat quickly! They are about to attack completely. The enemy is like a broken bamboo. I'm afraid it's hard for us to stop it! General, why not retreat!" A confidant soldier said anxiously to the general.
"During the war, evil words confuse the masses and disrupt the morale of the army! Deserve death! You must be a spy of the enemy!"
After hearing the soldier's words, Zeng Er held a long sword and stabbed the soldier in the stomach! The surrounding defenders were shocked and they did not dare to claim the words of retreat.
"Those who escape at the battle will be killed without mercy! Those who disrupt the morale of the army will be killed without mercy! If you don't defend it, kill me!!" After Zeng Er said that, he stabbed a deserter with a long knife in his hand, he slashed at the siege soldiers who were standing on the wall...
The light flashed constantly, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of siege soldiers were killed!
"General! The left side of the city gate was broken by siege soldiers!"
"General, the right side of the city wall was broken by the siege soldiers, and the defenders were killed and injured! General! They are all wild beasts! Madmen! They are not even let go of the dead bodies. After the killing, they would have to smile and cut a few more...!" A soldier ran over and said with a staggering foot.
After saying that, the soldier looked fearful and frightened. When he thought of the siege soldiers, his mind was shocked and creepy. He probably would never forget those cold and harsh eyes! They... are messengers climbing up from endless hell! They didn't care about the pain on their bodies, and they didn't even let go of the corpse when they treated the enemy! They wanted to tear them apart! Every time they killed one person, they laughed, and they were simply... devils!
At this time, a confidant beside General Zeng Er gritted his teeth, walked to General Zeng Er, and said nervously: "General! The left and right city walls have been broken! I... might as well escape!"
General Zeng Er looked at the left and right sides of the city wall exhausted, and felt sad! The left and right sides of the city wall were already broken! Only the battle was still fighting in the middle of the city wall where he was located! Seeing the righteous army on both sides coming here, he was heartbroken! The battle situation was already overwhelmed!
General Zeng Er rarely killed the soldier who said escape, but said to a thousand confidants in front of him: "You have been following me for many years! I can't bear it! You... run away!!"
"General, why don't you leave?" asked in confusion.
"I, Zeng Er, both of my parents died since childhood! I was blessed by the great commander Chang Gang, and raised me, gave me food and clothing, and taught me martial arts! I have become an official position... Now the great commander just wants me to guard this gate! I will fulfill my mission! I will repay you with a gratitude!" Zeng Er said with a heavy expression.
"You should leave soon! If you are a little late, you can't escape. Go away quickly! This is my last order to you! I still don't obey the order!" Zeng Er scolded angrily and shouted.
"Yes, general... general!" After the confidants said sadly, they burst into tears. They jumped off the city wall one by one and stayed away from here...
"Grand Commander, let Zeng Er fight for you until the last moment!" After Zeng Er said that, he held a long sword and rushed to the siege soldiers attacking on the left...
The sound of shouting and killing...the sound of weapons colliding...the roar continues!
The veteran Liu Yang and the generals were covered with blood at this point. The third general was the most brave, and they destroyed all the way, killing thousands of enemies. Wherever the sword passed, there was no more surviving! A few steps rushed to the middle of the city wall and fought with General Zeng Er, the second general, who defended the city wall. The third general became more and more brave and his offensive became more fierce! Zeng Er was about to lose...
"Grand Commander! Student Zeng Er!! I have already repayed you for your kindness!!!"
During a few breaths, the third general held high the head of the city-guarding general Zeng Er and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, and you will not surrender yet!"
Seeing that the defender General Zeng Er was dead, the soldiers guarding the city had no fighting spirit anymore. After one or two enemy troops threw down their weapons, surrendered like a plague, spreading on the battlefield. More and more defenders threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground one by one...
At the East Gate of the Imperial City: Lingui Battlefield
At the same time, the situation on the battlefield here of Lin Gui is no less than that. The battlefield is stained with blood, the horses are wrapped in corpses, the city walls are already shattered, the city gates are wide open, and the soil outside the city has long been dyed reddish brown by blood, blood is soaring into the sky, and corpses are everywhere...
Not long ago, there were still fighting and shouting here, but the silence at this moment seemed extremely ferocious.
The soldiers cleaned the battlefield with their heads down, and some helped their comrades to bandage. At this moment, the righteous army was filled with joy and sorrow and dissipated. Occasionally, some soldiers were holding a corpse, crying in tears, and crying to the sky!
At this moment, Lin Gui stood on the city wall, looking at the entire battlefield, feeling heartbroken. His deep eyes looked up and looked at the imperial city again. He was filled with mixed feelings and couldn't help but sigh: "Sounds are sad, tears are sad, one general's success has been undone! Many families will not return! The children will not return..."
"Generals do not have to be sad, wars will inevitably lead to death and injury. Our people, serve the country and take pride in death in battle! Life, see the Lord's Hall of Loyalty, die, see the Lord's Hall of War." A general said.
"How many people are damaged by our army in this battle?" Lin Gui asked.
"Qi Bicheng Lord, this time we attacked the East Gate, our army killed 30,000 people, seriously injured 40,000 people, and slightly injured more than 60,000 people..." The deputy general replied.
"They are all good men of the Kingdom of Great Zhao! Let the military doctors do their best to treat the wounded! None of them can be left behind. Even if I bring them here, I must take them back! If the treatment is not timely and the death of my soldiers, I will ask you!! Also record the list of dead people! After the war, I will give them twice the pension to his family!" Lin Gui said solemnly without saying a word.
"The general is so kind and righteous! He loves soldiers like his sons, and the soldiers will definitely be grateful! Thank you Dai! The last general will personally supervise the military doctor and do his best to treat the wounded!" said a general.
"There is now the palace, the final battle with Chang Gang! It should be an explanation for many dead heroes!"
Retracting his thoughts, Lin Gui said in a deep voice: "Deputy General, immediately dispatch 50,000 soldiers to follow me into the palace, and the rest will guard this place! No one must be allowed to leave the imperial city! Keep guarding the city gates tightly, and no mosquito can be released!"
"Yes, the city lord!" After saying that, the deputy general hurriedly stepped down from the city wall and immediately went to mobilize troops.
Several generals also retreated. They wanted to treat the wounded, arrange defenses, and strictly guard the city gate! The division of labor is even!
After a while, 50,000 soldiers gathered together. Lin Gui took the lead and led 50,000 soldiers towards the palace and walked quickly.
At the same time, Li Nan, the Marquis of Nanzhen, Nanmen and Liu Yang, the veteran general of Ximen, resolutely led 50,000 soldiers to the direction of the palace, while the remaining soldiers closed the city gates with a solemn expression and were strictly guarding them.
The reason why the three city gates are strictly guarded is because there are 40,000 law enforcement team members in Zhao State, who are probably rushing back at this moment, and are also to deal with the rebels and escape so as to deal with emergencies at any time.
Three directions are like three giant swords, heading towards the palace... At this moment, the solemn and murderous aura in the imperial city is getting stronger and stronger...
