Chapter 1955: Emperor Wen of Zhou fights against Duke Xiao of Qin
East gate.
"Report... General Qi, something bad has happened. Qin Hai rebelled and opened the north gate. The Tang army has invaded the north gate. General Qin Gao is resisting with all his strength. He will send reinforcements to the north gate personally."
"What?"
Mu Guiying, who was in charge of city defense, stood up excitedly after hearing the news.
Like Ying Gao's reaction, after hearing the news of Hu Hai's rebellion, Mu Guiying's first reaction was disbelief. After all, how could anyone rebel in his own family?
In addition, Hu Haiwen was incompetent in military affairs, and his military rank was not yet that of a school captain. How could he open the north gate and let the Tang army in just based on his status as a descendant of the Qin family?
But you must know that this news came from Hu Hai's brother Ying Gao. If Hu Hai hadn't really rebelled, not only betrayed the Qin family, but also cheated his own brother, how could the always loyal Ying Gao have framed Hu Hai like this? Woolen cloth?
Mu Guiying suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly prepared to mobilize troops from the remaining three gates to support the north gate and force the Tang troops entering the city out of the city. However, he did not expect that a large number of Tang troops also appeared outside the three gates of the southeast and west.
Obviously, this was a conspiracy to frighten Mu Guiying so that he would not dare to mobilize troops from the three gates of southeast and west.
Once Mu Guiying removes too many troops from the three gates in the southeast and west, the defensive power of the three gates will be greatly reduced. If they are breached by the Tang army, it will be like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Overall, not only It won't help but will make it worse.
Mu Guiying saw through Li Shimin's sinister intentions at a glance, and after a moment of contemplation, he ordered: "You cannot transfer too many troops from the three gates, otherwise the security of the three gates in the southeast and west cannot be guaranteed.
Let's do this, transfer a battalion of 3,000 troops from each of Dong Nan's three west gates, and then let General Qin Jian lead his troops to support the north gate. "
Qin Inspector led two thousand aristocratic families to reorganize their troops and went to massacre another three thousand unarmed aristocratic family soldiers. This task must have been completed by now, so this force became one of the few mobilizable forces in the city, so it was natural to join them. During the battle to defend the North Gate.
Each of the three gates in the southeast and west had a battalion of three thousand each, plus Qin Jian's two thousand, which meant that Mu Guiying mobilized eleven thousand troops to support the north gate.
But even so, Mu Guiying was still worried. She ordered the Detachment of Women who had completed the task of putting out the fire to immediately support the North Gate after the imperialist rebels were wiped out, and decided to personally lead the East Gate First Battalion to the North Gate to take charge.
After Mu Guiying left, the blame for guarding the east gate was handed over to Sima Cuo. The leaders of the three battalions supporting the north gate were Qin Liang of the east gate, Qin Ji of the south gate, and Di Qing of the west gate.
Qin Jian, who successfully massacred all the family soldiers in the new barracks, was originally going to lead the army to stabilize the situation in Daocheng, but after receiving Mu Guiying's order, he decisively led the army to the north gate.
All of a sudden, all the troops in the city began to gather towards the north gate.
Qin Liang was worried about the situation at the north gate and led 300 troops to advance first. However, when he arrived at the north gate, he found that a large number of Tang troops had swarmed into the city.
Since arrows and stones were fired from the city tower, if the Tang army wanted to enter the city, they had to withstand the baptism of Qin army's crossbow stones. This undoubtedly limited the number of people who could enter the city. Nearly half of the Tang army died on the way to the charge.
As a master of military art, Li Shimin naturally could not tolerate this kind of thing continuing to happen, so he simply commanded the army to attack the city.
Li Shimin's behavior obviously increased the casualties of the entire army, but it also made the Qin army at the top of the city unable to pay attention to the city gate, which indirectly shared the firepower of the army entering the city. The number of Tang troops entering the city increased sharply, and the Tang army attacked the north gate. The level of strategy has naturally increased greatly.
Qin Gao was not a reckless man. Although he personally went down to the city tower to recapture the city gate, he also considered the consequences of the Tang army's attack on the city, so he asked his other brother Qin Lu to be responsible for defending the city.
It was precisely because of Qin Lu's command that the North Gate did not fall completely, but it was not far away from that step.
On the other side, when Qin Gao saw that Hu Hai was protected out of the city, he could only put down the idea of cleaning up the door and drive out the Tang troops who entered the city first. However, the difficulty of this group of Tang troops was beyond his expectation.
The high quality, strong combat power, and ruthless attacks are not inferior to the main force of the Qin army. The two new battalions of 6,000 soldiers transferred by Qin Gao are obviously difficult to block such elites. They can only risk their lives, but the effect is But it's not very good.
Qin Gao was anxious, as the North Gate would surely fall if this continued, so he wanted to kill Yuwentai to undermine the morale of the Tang army. However, as the founder of the Northern Zhou regime, Emperor Wen of Zhou, Yuwentai, was not so easy to kill.
Yuwentai noticed that Qin Gao was eager for success, so he deliberately hid his strength and exposed his flaws, waiting for Qin Gao to take the bait.
Qin Gao didn't know Yuwentai's depth, and because of his impatience, he was fooled. As a result, Yuwentai's heavy blow knocked the weapon out of his hand, and then his right arm was cut off.
"ah……"
Qin Gao screamed in pain, but Yu Wentai had no intention of letting him go. He hit the breastplate with a direct blow, cracking the armor, and Qin Gao also vomited blood and flew out.
"Gaodi."
Seeing this, Qin Liang was furious. He drove back Yuwentai who was about to hit him with an arrow. He used the sword in his hand to chop Huashan with force and roared at Yuwentai's head.
[Ding dong, Qin Liang's skill 'King of Swords' is activated, force +3.
Qin Liang (Ying Quliang): 96 commander, 99 force, 95 politics, 83 intelligence, 90 charm. Equipment: Zhen Qin Sword;
The current Qin and Liang military strength has increased to 103. 】
Among the kings of the pre-Qin Dynasty, apart from King Wu of Qin, the king who was famous for his military bravery was undoubtedly Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang.
Ying Quliang not only rescued Duke Xian Ying Shixi from the rebel army, but also captured the prime minister of Wei, Gong Shucuo, alive under extremely unfavorable circumstances.
At that time, in terms of personal martial prowess, Ying Quliang was perhaps second only to his elder brother Ying Qian.
Of course, in addition to personal force, Qin Xiaogong also had strong military command capabilities.
Gongsun Cuo has served as the prime minister of Wei for more than 20 years. Since Wu Qi left Wei, he has often served as prime minister and commander of military expeditions in the north and south. He has defeated Korea, Zhao, Chu and the Zhao-Han coalition. He has outstanding military exploits, but against Ying Quliang, who was silent on the stage, was repeatedly frustrated.
In the Battle of Shimen, in the duel with Qin Xiangong, Gongsun Cuo lost Hangu Pass and lost more than 60,000 soldiers;
In the Battle of Shaoliang, Gongsun Cuo lost even more embarrassingly, and even himself was captured by Ying Quliang.
Not to mention the political aspect, without Qin Xiaogong appointing Shang Yang to carry out reforms, there would be no Qin Shihuang who could unify the six countries.
Of course, it was precisely because the impact of Shang Yang's reforms was so great that it overshadowed Ying Quliang's political achievements.
Seeing Qin Liang slashing at him with his sword, Yu Wentai decisively blocked it with his sword, facing Qin Liang with hard steel.
nail.
After the blades collided, they made a sharp impact sound.
Yuwentai groaned, his arms aching from the shock. He obviously didn't expect Qin Liang to be so powerful. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have had a head-on confrontation.
