It was late at night, and a fierce battle was going on. Taiyuan City was engulfed in flames of war on all sides. The sound of killing could be heard in all directions and could be heard ten miles away.
A few miles southeast of the city, in the rear camp of the rebel army, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and other staff looked at the war-torn Taiyuan City with sneers on their faces, talking in low voices from time to time, with relaxed expressions.
But Li Zicheng in front of them had no expression on his face, just looking at the war on the distant city wall with extremely sharp eyes.
He and his staff worked hard to plan this wave of attacks. They first besieged the city on all sides to contain the officers and soldiers and make it difficult for them to understand their true intentions. Then, to everyone's surprise, they raided the Zhenwu Gate in the West City and successfully boarded the city. They almost broke through the west gate, but in the end they succeeded in attracting the main force of officers and soldiers despite regrets.
At this time, he secretly drew all his troops back to the south city. While storming the east gate, he suddenly concentrated his firepower to seize the south gate, catching the officers and soldiers by surprise, and finally climbed into the city in one fell swoop. This was the critical moment, and success or failure depended on this.
The officers and soldiers who were beaten in this wave were in such a state of confusion that they had been angry for many days. Thinking of Zhou Yuji and the dead eunuch in the city, Li Zicheng felt extremely refreshed.
But he also knew that it was too early to be happy at this time. The protective strength of the officers and soldiers was astonishing. Zhenwumen had successfully climbed to the city before in a surprise attack but was defeated. This was quite beyond his expectation. He was secretly surprised by Zhou Yuji's strength. powerful.
Even though Dongcheng's attacking troops successfully boarded the city later, the officers and soldiers actually resisted the tsunami-like offensive. Although they did not suppress them immediately, their own attack wave was resisted by the officers and soldiers, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. War, even the rebel army has shown signs of decline.
The only hope now was the Great South Gate. First, he was able to successfully board the city by surprise as quickly as possible. Second, he mobilized all the fire support and the most elite main force to attack the city.
This move was indeed very effective. Although the fierce fighting on the city could not be clearly seen, the densely packed soldiers clinging to the city wall were continuously pouring up. You knew that your side was now in control of the battle situation and was using firepower to open up a longer gap. battle front.
This battle can be said to be the most enjoyable battle in recent times, and also the one with the most certainty of victory. Of course, the credit of the think tank behind him is indispensable, but the bravery of the soldiers is also indispensable.
Why did these soldiers suddenly become so fearless and brave?
Li Zicheng made a promise to them: after the city was destroyed, they could enjoy themselves for three days, and the proceeds would not be confiscated!
People died for money, and birds died for food. Not to mention the soldiers, even the cannon fodder felt excited.
Looking at the battle in the distance, Li Zicheng felt mixed emotions in his heart. Although he had the upper hand at this time, the losses were extremely heavy. Not to mention the cannon fodder and the assisting surrender troops who were surrounding and waving flags to use as a feint attack were some of his main forces. More than half of the elite troops were killed or injured.
He had already expected heavy casualties in this battle. No matter how many cannon fodder and surrendered troops died, he didn't feel bad, and even secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But the damage to the main force was equivalent to hurting the foundation, which made him very gritted.
I hope that taking Taiyuan City will compensate for his losses.
"Send the order, step up the offensive, and we must break the city before dawn."
Li Zicheng held the steel knife at his waist tightly. When the city was defeated, he would kill Zhou Yuji with his own hands, and he would also personally peel off the eunuch who died of cramps.
The Great South Gate tower was ignited with raging fire, illuminating the city so brightly that even the ferocity on the faces of the soldiers on both sides of the bloody battle could be seen clearly.
On a pile of stones near the tower, there was a sound of blood stains. Chang Yu, who was sweating profusely, couldn't help but shuddered. Not far away, Cai Maode called him several times but was ignored. In the end, the old man turned around in anger. Directed the soldiers to put out the fire.
It's not that Chang Yu didn't hear it, it's that he really didn't have time to talk nonsense with him at this time. It was the time when the rebel army's offensive was at its most intense. A steady stream of rebel troops and officers and soldiers were descending on the city and fighting bloody battles at the top of the city. It was chaotic, dangerous and overcrowded.
Fortunately, in order to avoid accidental damage to friendly forces, the rebels' air strikes began to move elsewhere in an attempt to open up an expanded front line for the city. This also allowed the soldiers to no longer have to worry about being hit by flying rock rockets and artillery shells, and could focus on fighting the enemies in front of them.
The firepower of the rebel army began to move east towards the small south gate, trying to repeat the same trick of suppressing the firepower on the city to cover the enemy's entry into the city. However, at this time, Zhou Yuji's counterattack firepower had gradually gained momentum and began to effectively counterattack. Moreover, the red-coated soldiers at the southeastern city head The cannon also started firing angry shells in revenge.
Niu Yong, who was on the west wing, also organized firepower to contain and assist, causing the rebel army's firepower network to gradually show its decline.
The firepower of the thief army was gradually countered, but the situation at hand was not optimistic at all. After all, when we were caught off guard previously, a hole was torn open by the firepower network of the thief army, allowing the thief army to pour in like a tide. Think about it. Putting it out is easier said than done.
Looking at the thieves who kept turning in, Chang Yu suddenly let out a breath, feeling that it was too boring. He couldn't kill them all, he couldn't cut them all, and he just chopped them, without any technical content.
"You fucking straight bitch, kill all of you..." The bloody battle was in full swing, and the sounds of killing and cursing never stopped, but this voice sounded familiar.
Chang Yu squinted his eyes and looked around, and suddenly took a breath of cold air. Zhu Shenxuan held the knife in both hands and slashed wildly with the knife like crazy, shouting and cursing.
It was a miracle for them that they could survive alone in such a chaotic battle without a servant.
Seeing how crazy this guy was, Chang Yu jumped down from the pile of rocks, kicked one of the thieves over, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Shenxuan out.
But he didn't expect that Zhu Shenxuan was possessed by the devil at this time. He waved his knife and struck at Chang Yu, while he shouted that he was a thief.
Chang Yu was startled, turned around and grabbed the back of his knife: "It's me...fuck..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Shenxuan started to lift his vaginal legs again.
In a hurry, Chang Yu raised his leg and kicked him away. Zhu Shenxuan took a few steps back and finally woke up: "It's you."
"Nonsense, go down to the city quickly" Chang Yu shouted angrily, but unexpectedly Zhu Shenxuan suddenly swung his knife and stabbed him again...
"Are you fucking crazy?" Chang Yu was furious. Just as he was about to kick him again, he suddenly heard a scream behind him. A thief was stabbed in the neck by Zhu Shenxuan, and blood spurted out for several meters. .
"I've killed one more, I've killed four!" Zhu Shenxuan's eyes were wide open and he laughed wildly.
Is this all fucking okay? Chang Yu had no choice but stretched out his hand to pull him to the inner city wall: "This place is dangerous, the sword has no eyes, and you have no guards by your side. Get down to the city quickly."
"Aren't you the same?" Zhu Shenxuan breathed heavily, and his energy gradually became clearer. Seeing that Chang Yu was also alone, he felt dissatisfied.
"Me? You compare with me, I can fight ten, can you?" Chang Yu shouted angrily. The situation was critical at this time, and he really had no time to care about Zhu Shenxuan's comfort, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Why can't I do it?" Zhu Shenxuan also yelled, but when he saw the murderous look in Chang Yu's eyes, he immediately gave up. He turned to look at the battle situation and changed the topic: "It's such a critical situation, what should we do?"
"Wait!" Chang Yu took a long breath.
wait? Zhu Shenxuan was puzzled.
"There is such chaos right now. Apart from fighting hard and cutting these thieves off the city, the only thing that can prevent them from continuing to climb the city is to wait for the firepower counterattack from Commander Zhou. Once our firepower network suppresses the firepower of the thieves in the main city, they will lose Without cover, the rebel army's offensive will naturally be blocked, and control will slowly return to our hands."
"Why don't you use your interception tactics like the one at the east gate?" Zhu Shenxuan asked again.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Just take a look. Not to mention the fierceness of the offensive here, the melee is far more brutal than that of the east gate. I also have generals that I can use at this time."
Indeed, there are two leaders of the Jinwu Guard in Dongcheng, as well as the general Wang Yongkui and the deputy general Ying Shisheng. Even Zhou Yuji was there before. You must know that these generals all have personal soldiers, that is, a ready-made As long as Chang Yu gives an order, the combat team will go through fire and water to fight wherever they want, and can arrive at the combat position as soon as possible to carry out combat missions.
However, at the South Gate at this time, Zhou Yuji was busy organizing counterattack firepower, Niu Yong was assisting on the west wing, Cai Maode, who was half-dead, was directing the firefighting, and the rest were almost all fighting alone. Who do you want Chang Yu to give orders to? , Not to mention that it was difficult for him to find low-level military attaches in such a melee. Even these low-level military attaches were unable to quickly organize a combat team to play an effective role.
"So we can only wait and wait?" Zhu Shenxuan looked around. The bloody battle in front of him and the fighting in the distance made the local leader shocked, scared and anxious.
"You can also wait while you are wet." Chang Yu's face gradually condensed with murderous intent.
Zhu Shenxuan understood this trick immediately, which was to let the blood of the rebel army stain the armor, and Chang Yu's fighting spirit arose again.
"You don't have to rush me down to the city anymore. I am willing to fight side by side with you. If I live this life without regrets, if I die, I will leave it to my fate!" Zhu Shenxuan suddenly looked at Chang Yu with unusually firm eyes and said.
Chang Yu was very surprised. It was unexpected that this dude had grown so much in such a short period of time.
As expected, boys and men sometimes grow up overnight.
"Okay!" Chang Yu nodded heavily: "Let's fight side by side so that we can have no regrets in this life!"
The two looked at each other, with murderous intent in their eyes, and turned around and rushed into the battle group with fighting intent.
