Chapter 288 Entering the city

The east gate of Xi'an City is called Changle Gate, which is a very typical Ming and Qing city gate with three layers and three floors.

There are three gate towers, arrow towers and main towers from the inside to the outside.

Among them, the gate building was built on the gate of Yuecheng City, and was named after the Qianjin Gate and Suspension Bridge.

It is also called the artillery tower because the soldiers stationed in the city tower have mostly firearms and cannons.

The Arrow Tower is a city tower located on the entrance of the Wengcheng City Gate. It is named because it has many design windows on it.

There are four floors of arrow windows on the front of Changlemen Arrow Tower, each floor has 12 windows, and a total of forty-eight windows on the fourth floor.

The gables on both sides of the Arrow Tower are also brick walls. There are no windows on the lower floor. There are three layers of arrow windows on the upper floor, each floor has three windows, and nine windows on each side, with a total of 18 windows on the left and right.

In this way, there are a total of 66 arrow windows on the entire arrow tower on three sides.

There are also matching rooms on both sides of the Arrow Tower. This matching room is like an enemy building on a horse's face, which can strengthen the defense on the left and right sides of the urn.

The main building is a common city tower in later generations, and it exists as the last barrier in the city tower defense system.

He Jin led his cavalry to rush straight and headed straight to the suspension bridge on the moat in Xi'an.

Unexpectedly, these officers and soldiers were used to being arrogant. The guards of Xi'an did not think it was strange. They didn't even pull up the suspension bridge, and just thought it was a defeat and returned.

The heavy horse's hooves stepped onto the suspension bridge, and the vibrating suspension bridge was trembling up and down, as if they would suddenly break at some point.

"Left Jin King" He Jin ignored this and stared at the Qianjin Gate in front of him.

For fear that it would fall with a loud bang, countless Yanamaru flew towards him, and then the rebels died everywhere.

However, none of this happened. The guards of Changle Gate yawned indifferently, without even the intention of stepping forward and asking.

These people are the most well-informed and have already spread among them. The officers and soldiers who went out of the city to attack at night "stolen chickens but lost rice". Not only did they lose many lives, but they even had many war horses stolen.

At this time, they are so many that they are not open to their eyes, so they dare to go forward and provoke?

As for the enemy attack, it is impossible to exist, right?

Not to mention that there was a 200-mile journey from Huayin to Xi'an, the thieves and officers and soldiers were running all the way, and they had already broken the soles of their feet and were trapped in the horses.

Not to mention that the officers and soldiers have been struggling for half a night now. I guess they haven’t even had a good sleep, so what can they do to attack the city?

In fact, this mentality cannot be said to be wrong. Even He Jin, who has a war horse, has already reached his physical limit.

As the war horses pounded, they seemed to have dispersed all over their bodies, and they felt that the armor on their bodies became heavier.

He Jin resisted the discomfort and suddenly re-entered the gate building, then tied the reins, which slowed down.

It turned out that after passing the gate tower, there was an arrow tower facing me.

A tall city tower of more than ten feet stood in front of him, staring at it by the dense shooting holes on it. Even He Jin, who was as brave as a fight, suddenly had goose bumps.

Although he knew that there might be no one on it, he still couldn't help but tremble.

If you attack the city normally, you will finally fill the trench and collapse the thousand-jin gate, and then you will encounter such a city tower.

No matter how heroic you are, you can still shoot you into a hornet's nest. He Jin is not afraid of being frightened.

Of course, He Jin slowed down not because of fear, but because of the problem of the city gate structure.

The door of the arrow tower and the door of the gate tower are not directly connected. The door of the arrow tower is located on the left and right sides of the wall of the Wengcheng City.

After He Jin led his rebel army into Yuecheng, he had to diversion along Yuecheng to both sides. When he walked to the base of the city wall, he saw a small door opened on the urn.

The reason why the Moon City is called Moon City is because it is wrapped outside the wall city, like a crescent moon, so it is called Moon City.

In fact, if you look into it in depth, this Yuecheng will be just a specialized urn.

After entering the urn city, the situation became more and more dangerous.

The so-called urn is a pottery with big belly and small mouth. This urn is called a urn because its shape is quite similar to that of a urn.

This urn city is connected to the arrow tower in front and the back tower. There are city walls on the left and right, all of which are more than ten feet high.

He Jin stood in the urn, like a poor ant standing in the urn.

He couldn't help but look up and could only see a small sky above, where depression can be imagined.

"Which team are you?" He Jin was anxious and uneasy when someone suddenly asked loudly.

"Zhi Niang, you're blind!" "Zuo Jin King" He Jin cursed instead of answering.

It happened that he was furious because of fear, and was almost the same as the officers and soldiers who were defeated by defeat. He was originally from Yansui and had a similar accent to the Shaanxi general Zuo Guangxian.

When the man heard this, he only thought that they were the chief officers' direct subordinates, so he did not dare to ask in depth. He honestly opened the gate of the main building and asked the rebels to enter.

As soon as He Jin entered the city gate, he felt his vision wider and his tense heartstrings couldn't help but relax.

Soon after the rebel army entered the city, He Jin shouted: "Kill, divide me into two teams and kill them from the left and right sides!"

This is not because He Jin can't wait, but because the officers and soldiers went out of the city to attack the camp this time, only more than 2,000 cavalry. Although his raid this time was less than 2,000, there were still 1,500 cavalry.

The guards of Xi'an city gate are not blind. Although they can't see clearly in the darkness, can't they count them?

"Left Jin King" He Jin did not dare to hesitate at all, and the officers and soldiers found a flaw.

He quickly turned over and dismounted, and personally led his soldiers along the stairs behind the main building to the top of the city tower.

The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and suddenly became in chaos.

He Jin took the opportunity to rush up to the city tower, killed people when they saw them, and chopped them when they saw soldiers. He was ruthless and soon seized the main building of Changlemen.

At the same time, the rebels under the city also took the opportunity to seize the city gate below the main building.

Then both sides attacked up and down, and reversed the arrow tower and gate tower.

Although the design of Xi'an Changle Gate is dangerous, how could you expect the enemy to emerge from the inside?

Soon, the rebels fought from beginning to end, and except for some surrender and escape, most of them were killed on the spot.

"The King of Left Jin" He Jin didn't care about resting, so he quickly ordered the director of the department to lead 500 people to guard Changlemen, and brought more than a thousand people down the city, and rushed straight into the city along Dongmen Street.

Along Dongmen Street, from east to west, Xi'an Zuowei, Zhenguo General's Mansion, Xianning County Government and General Mansion.

The Zuo Guard in Xi'an was already unbearable, and the elite troops were also drawn by Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo and Shaanxi General Zuo Guang first. Where can they have any resistance?

When he heard the rebels coming, he was frightened and immediately dispersed without any resistance.

It was Zhu Cunji, the prince of Qin, who was the governor of the State, and heard the news. He hurriedly took the guards to escape to the Qin Palace. He also sent someone to notify Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi who lived in the General Office.

The Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo was sleeping peacefully. He heard the sound and couldn't help but lift the quilt up. He didn't care about his disheveled clothes and headed straight to Jingzhaoyi next to him to find the Shaanxi General Zuo Guangxian.

Zuo Guangxian was originally at the post station to scold You Zhaiyuan for not doing anything effective, but failed to attack at night and was defeated by the thief.

Suddenly, he heard the noise and quickly dressed neatly and led two or three hundred personal guards out to check the noise. Just as he was about to see the Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo, he couldn't help but ask: "Fu Jun, I don't know what's going on outside?"

"Not good, no good! The thief entered the city and killed him when he saw him. Xi'an City is about to be finished!" Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo was at a loss and couldn't help but shout.

Zuo Guang couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart, and immediately reacted to a famous saying by Emperor Wu of Han:
Chapter completed!
