Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 585 The city is broken...

All horses and horses in Tongguan City were silent.Following the news of Tongzhou's destruction, Liu Fa's first reaction was to order Sun Zhaoyuan to lead his troops to retreat westward.

The latter led Yao Qing to the rear of the Five Thousand Army, but it is a pity that among the five thousand troops, the real Western Army is only about two thousand.

Sun Zhaoyuan led the rest of the soldiers back to the west quickly. How can the morale of the soldiers in Tongguan City be high?They were all left as human shields for death, who still has the heart?
However, Yao Qing was really a hero, he led a group of elite western troops to attack that day, and brought back fifty heads of rangers from the Heluoliangshan Army.You don't care how much his own loss is, this will also boost the morale of the entire remaining Song army.

But the next day, the forward of the Liangshan Army arrived at Linzhiyuan, and a small group of scouts peeped at the city defense.Yao Qing led [-] troops to deploy defenses in the main city and Linzhiyuan respectively, waiting in full force.At noon on the second day, the entire Tongguan city seemed extremely quiet. All the troops had already taken their positions in battle. On the head of the city, there were soldiers with swords and guns in their hands, all staring out of the city solemnly.

Yao Qing was dressed in military uniform, as usual, still without a helmet, only wrapped in a big red scarf.High nose and big eyes, leopard head and swallow jaw.With broad shoulders and a round waist, with a fan knife in his hand, he looks calm and majestic.Lead a group of people to mount Linzhi Yuan on horseback.Seeing this area, Zeng Suo was in charge, but seeing that both the officers and soldiers were sticking to their posts and orderly, he secretly admired him. Zeng hated the Liangshan Army three times to the bone, and held back his bad breath for several years, just waiting for this day.

The sky was surprisingly dark, just after noon, but it was like evening.The dark clouds were pressing down on the city, making people feel oppressed invisibly, as if a big stone was pressing on their chests.

Standing on the Linzhi Plateau and looking east, you don't need to see with your eyes, you can feel the momentum of the enemy just by listening to your ears.The sound of the beating drum, like thunderstorms, gradually approached, although it was not loud, it was breathtaking!

What's more, there are a lot of dark army horses and cavalry, and I don't know how many thousands of horses came, and it is boundless as far as you can see.The valleys and fields to the east of Linzhiyuan have been filled with it.Crowded, densely packed.The sound of the horse neighing and roaring could be clearly heard even on the plateau.Yao Qing quietly watched the Liangshan Army spread thousands of paces away like a flood. Looking in front of him, any experienced general should understand that this is definitely not a small fight of 2 people!

"There are many soldiers on the bandit side of Liangshan." Yao Qing thought of the '30' Liangshan Army that defeated the "20" Xixia Army in Suide Army. The Huainan army and the Liangshan army expanded so quickly that people were speechless.

Yao Qing looked up at the darkening sky for a while, and said with a light smile, "Could it be raining heavily, God help me."

"General. Monk Hua is the general of Liangshan. The left and right arms of the land thieves must not be underestimated. Even if God helps, even if it rains heavily, we must not underestimate the enemy. Look at the battle outside, the thieves must have made up their minds. . And our army... The army is panicked and has low morale. The young general is really worried..." Beside Yao Qing, Zeng Suo frowned and said with worry.

After hearing this, Yao Qing looked back at him and asked in a deep voice: "Zeng San, are you trying to persuade me to run away? Or surrender?"

Hearing this, Zeng Suo's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "The young general and the Lu thief country hate their family feud, and they cannot share the sky! How dare you have such an idea!"

Yao Qing was naturally not blind, otherwise he would not have taught Zeng Suo to defend important areas like Linzhiyuan.The latter is the first commander.

As long as he was talking to Zeng Suo, a big banner had been erected in a Liangshan military camp not far away, and it wasn't Lu Zhishen.This general of the Liangshan Army actually came to the front line in person.

But thinking about it, it should be.This Liangshan Army has never played tricks. If they really want to risk their lives and fight hard, it is natural for this general to just come to the front line.

They didn't send anyone to surrender, they just didn't bother to waste their words, and they just saw the real trick under their hands!In this way, it can be seen that the thief Lu is determined to win the relationship.

"As long as we are firmly nailed to Tongguan, the Liangshan bandits want to break through? Humph." Yao Qing held the fence with his hands, a sneer flashed across his face.

He didn't believe that Kansai was really at a critical moment of life and death, and that Huan Qing Shuai Wang Si and Qin Feng Shuai Zhao Dian could really turn a blind eye and hear but not hear.

At present, only Xihe Road, Jingyuan Road, Yanyan Road and Yongxingjun Road are really doing their best.

Xihe Road is because of the old commander Liu Fa, Yanyan Road is because of the old general manager, Jingyuan Road is because of the small species manager, and Yongxing Army Road is the logistics base of the Western Army. This is Kansai. The main local source of money, food and military supplies, its importance lies in money, food and military supplies, not military combat power.

The real Western Army originally consisted of only the four roads of Huanqing, Jingyuan, Qinfeng and Yanyan, plus the newly opened Xihe Road on the Hehuangkai side. The Yongxing Army was just here to make up the numbers.

As a member of the Western Army General Yao's family, Yao Qing knew very well that he was doing his best there, and he was saving his hand there.

Yao Qing strolled around Linzhiyuan to calm down the army, then turned around and returned to Tongguan City.As soon as I boarded the tower, I saw someone on the opposite side waving a semaphore towards the top of the city.

China has had semaphore since ancient times, and as semaphore was widely used by Lu Qian, Song Jun also followed suit.

Soon someone came to report: "General, the thieves are taking advantage of the darkness to launch a car!" The words shocked everyone!Liang Shanjun is so impatient?I just arrived today, and I can't even catch my breath, so I want to start a car?Didn't he think that Tongguan City would be broken in three or five days, and rush to Guanzhong to make contributions?It's really his mother's spring and autumn dream!
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cool night wind dispelled a bit of the sweltering heat during the day.Zeng Suo didn't dare to relax at all, holding a three-pronged sky fork in his hand, he was welded to the defense line.In the middle of the night, the Liangshan army really came to attack and kill them at night.

The defenders who had prepared for a long time lit bonfires everywhere, and the lights filled the sky, reflecting Linzhi Yuan like daytime!
For a while, the sound of shouting and killing was loud.

A group of armored soldiers swarmed up, and the defenders on Linzhi Yuan were also rolling stones and raining arrows.

Lu Zhishen straddles Ma Lichen and beats the drum with his hands to get the fighting momentum together.The top and bottom soldiers are also excited, a hundred times more enthusiastic, with all their hearts and minds, each competing for his life.However, there are only two passages on the east side of Linzhiyuan, one of which is blocked by Sui Tongguan, and the other is controlled by Zeng Suo himself.

Lu Zhishen sent Zhai Jin, who had returned from Guanzhong, to lead his troops to knock on Fenjing Pass through Wangyuangou, and then asked Li Gun and Xiang Quan to lead his troops to attack Xundi Pass and Mayu Pass. It is one of the twelve cities.

The Song Army's strength was limited, but they still did not abandon the Twelve Company City, because once it was lost here, Linzhiyuan would no longer have to defend it.The Shimen Pass at the end of the Twelve Linked City directly cut off the back road of Hantong Pass.On the west side of Linzhiyuan, there is a road to Xiayuan. Hantong Pass is on the only way to Xiayuan. When you get off Linzhiyuan, walk north along the forbidden ditch for a certain distance to Shimenguan, and pass Shimen Passing through the forbidden ditch to the north, it is Tangtong Pass, which is the current Tongguan City.

There are only two roads from the east side of Linzhiyuan to Shangyuan. One is Sui Tongguan, also known as Nantongguan, because the Tongguan city is located south of Hantongguan.Thus, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Hantongguan was called Tongguan North City, and Sui Tongguan was called Tongguan South City.

Monk Hua would send heavy troops to attack Nantong Pass if he was stupid.Compared with Tongguan in the Sui Dynasty, he prefers to go north from Linzhiyuan to the plateau, after all, there is only a camp blocking it.Even if it has geographical advantages, it is far from being comparable to Nantong Pass.Therefore, when the fighting was fierce at the north entrance on the east side of Linzhiyuan, the Suitong Pass on the South Road was quiet, and only the two armies confronted each other.Then he sent the two-headed snake Jiezhen to find easy places at night and climb up the cliff.

Therefore, although there were many casualties on the north road, the Liangshan Army still wanted to attack.You can't give the defenders time to breathe, you can't give them any free time, you have to fully involve their spirits. Only in this way can you create the greatest convenience for the secretly prepared Jie Zhen Department.

The long ditch on the North Road is Zeng Suo's most powerful fortification. Pushing down a piece of wood can overwhelm an entire area.And the rolling stone, rolling down gruntingly, is even more difficult to deal with than the rolling log.

What's more, there were Song troops defending on both sides of the ditch. Seeing that there were too many piles of wood, a few torches were thrown down.That end is cheap defense.

Zeng Suo looked at the fire burning below and laughed coldly. "There are as many soldiers as thieves, and they are not as good as our army holding the natural danger."

Are Liangshan soldiers good?The natural soldiers are fine and strong.Otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty would end up in such a miserable place?The soldiers below, holding their strong bows and crossbows, shot hard, but the formation was scattered, and the soldiers retreated.This is really elite.

Just now he ordered people to send all the crossbows on the bed together, so the one who was aimed at was not Zhai Xing himself?Zeng Suo had seen Zhai Xing with his own eyes when he fled to Heluo.At that time, Zhai Xing was the general manager of the Western Beijing Rebel Army, he was going to join the Western Army by chance, but now... Zeng Suo was afraid when he thought about it.Who would have thought that the well-known General Manager Zhai Xingzhai was actually a spy who secretly communicated with Liangshan bandits?

Shi Caifei was Zhai Xing's personal guard, this land bandit's military commander of the Central Plains, he would be injured if he didn't die.

And as a general, Zhai Xing dared to fight in person, or was he within the range of the crossbow, so it can be said that he was afraid of death?Officials are not afraid of death, so how can soldiers be afraid of fighting?
And after the fire earlier, a big black man jumped out of the bandit army below, but his hair was visible under the light of the fire.

But his face is as dark as lacquer, and his body grows up.Wearing a wrought-iron helmet on his head, a pair of wrought-iron chain chain mail on his body, lined with a soap robe, tightly bound with a sash.Carrying two four-sided iron maces, they are vigorous and mighty.Leading hundreds of armored soldiers, holding long shields and heavy shields, they rushed upwards.Zeng Suo could see clearly that the black servant was at the forefront.Had this man been holding a pair of iron maces, Zeng Suo would have thought he was Black Whirlwind.

This Hei Si was also not afraid of death, he picked up five rolling logs, and was exhausted until he was assisted by his own soldiers to get off.

The Liangshan Army has such elite soldiers and brave generals. If it does not rely on the natural danger of Tongguan, the 5000 people here may be swallowed by others in a nap.

Zeng Suo was very emotional.Does he hate Liang Shanjun?This is natural.It was the Liangshan Army who ordered his family to be ruined, his wife and children to be separated, his father died and his brothers died.This sea of ​​blood and deep feud is gone, and it cannot be solved.But he couldn't help but praise Liang Shanjun's strength.

Since the first watch, it's been the third watch, and he has gone on and on, but he still hasn't retreated, which makes him feel embarrassed. "Such an elite soldier is thrown here like this. The Liangshan bandit is calling someone to come and die!"

Laughing loudly, he asked someone to report to Chengguan, "Let the general know that this Linzhiyuan is firmly on Mount Tai."

I really didn't think of anything else.He doesn't have that kind of mind yet, even though he has experienced a lot of things, but after all, he is lacking in talent.

At the top of Tongguan City, after receiving Zeng Suo's letter, Yao Qing first laughed, and then felt something was wrong.An old general beside him said: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The Liangshan bandit never taught his own soldiers to die. Zeng Sanlang was careless."

This veteran has been with the Yao family for decades, and has experienced more battles than Zeng Suo has eaten, so he subconsciously feels something is wrong.

"There are only a few roads in Kelinzhiyuan. You and I both know how dangerous the other places are. This..." Yao Qing really couldn't think of that cliff that was as straight as a knife, and that someone could climb it!

Times limited his thinking.With the cooperation of bed crossbow and mountaineering pick, unless Linzhiyuan changes from "Loess Plateau" to "Shi Gandang" in the blink of an eye, otherwise, the height of hundreds of feet is really not a problem for people who are used to seeing things in the mountains. Son.

There are some special talents of this kind in the mountain camp.Go up to the top of the plateau, let down the rope, and wait until the five hundred elite soldiers are all waiting, Xie Zhenqin leads them to kill and rush to Tongguan in Sui Dynasty.

Crossing the heavy ditch, swift as flying.The fire is on the upper hand, the soldiers are rushing to the smoke, the bows and crossbows are fired at the same time, and the arrows are raining...

Once the Sui Tong Pass is broken, Linzhi Yuan will be destroyed without attacking itself.Yao Qing eagerly led his troops out of Shimen Pass to meet the defeated soldiers on the plateau. Later, he didn't even guard Shimen Pass and withdrew directly to Tongguan City.

Liang Shanjun chased to the bottom of the city, and Tongguan had closed the gate and raised the suspension bridge.Dozens of Song soldiers fell at the gate of the city, but they were all killed by their own people.The three or four hundred defeated soldiers outside the city gate had no fighting spirit at all. When they saw the Liangshan army, they rushed to surrender.

It was already dawn.Zhai Xing asked someone to pick out delicious food and drink, so that the surrendered soldiers would have enough to eat and drink, and then yelled at the head of the city.Monk Hua doesn't have Lu Qian's 'Sky Eye', otherwise he would have attacked the city in the morning.Instead of waiting until the afternoon, that time has already arrived.

As soon as Zhai Jin received the military order, he immediately moved the weapon in his hand: "Brothers, go up! It's time to make achievements." He is now the military envoy of Ruzhou, and Lu Qian is also very kind to the Zhai family.But Zhai Jin himself is obviously not satisfied with this, otherwise he wouldn't be jumping like this.

We are also on the front line at this moment.

The soldiers under Zhai Jin swiftly pushed trench bridges, goose carts, flying bridges and other equipment, and rushed towards Tongguan City with loud roars.At this moment, the Liangshan army was like a flood that had opened its gates, rushing and surging!

Yao Qing naturally knew that the morale in the city was low, so in order to close the city gate as soon as possible when he was responding to Zeng Suo, he not only left hundreds of people outside the gate, but also made his subordinates merciless, which really hurt the morale of the army.But what can he do?Who would want to stay outside if they don't do something dangerous?If the city gate cannot be closed and the suspension bridge cannot be pulled up, Tongguan will be lost.

"Quick! Let the arrows go, let the arrows go! Those who retreat without permission die!" Zeng Suo also yelled hysterically, but he didn't see the eyes of many guards at the top of the city looking at him with indifference.

It was his incompetence that caused countless deaths and injuries to the brothers outside.It was also because of him that Yao Qing had no choice but to take cruel measures.Linzhiyuan was defended not only by the Western Army, but also by the local volunteers.Not to mention the former, but the latter breaks the bones and connects the tendons.The backbone of the brave people and soldiers is always their relatives and friends.

The bow is like a thunderbolt!The sharp short arrows whizzed out from the arrow grooves, and at the same time as the sound of strings, many soldiers rushed to the front of the Liangshan Army's siege troops!Who would dare to underestimate the accuracy and power of the Divine Arm Bow?Even cotton armor and armor to resist, can still penetrate more than half of the body.

The bowstrings rang together!In the siege army, there were many people who fell to the ground with arrows, but this could not stop the Liangshan army from attacking.

The moat cannot stop them at all, and the moat bridge is prepared for this.

The Liangshan Army moved extremely fast. As soon as the trench bridge was laid, the goose carts and flying bridges followed one after another!

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!" Yao Qing waved his saber and roared loudly.

However, it was not expected that fires broke out in many places in Tongguan City.And on the top of the city, I don't know who it is, when the ladder was just put on the city wall, they shouted: "The city is broken, run away, run away..."

Then Tongguan City was really broken.
