Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 719 Han Sui Withdraws His Army (2)

Faced with the current situation, Han Sui naturally didn't dare to stay in Chang'an City and fight with Zhu Wei and Ma Teng's coalition forces.

So Han Sui decided to withdraw without hesitation, but the withdrawal is not a one-off thing, it still takes some time to arrange, for example, if you retreat, you must bring the necessary food and grass, and all kinds of money and materials need to be sorted out. The car is delivered first.

In addition, Han Sui also had to notify the palace lieutenants and the troops stationed in other places to prepare to withdraw. Of course, during the withdrawal process, various arrangements for breaking up the troops also needed to be made to block the pursuit of Zhu Wei and Ma Teng's army, otherwise they would Not a retreat, but a rout.

However, when Han Sui was arranging the withdrawal of troops, Chen Qun, who was originally stranded in Ma Teng's army, also returned to Zhu Wei's army under the protection of a group of Ma Teng's soldiers.

Chen Qun was sent back after seeing Ma Teng's army entering Changxin Palace with his own eyes, so he actually came to inform Zhu Weijun that Ma Teng's army had entered Changxin Palace.

For Chen Qun to explain the situation, on the one hand, it can ensure the authenticity of the information, and on the other hand, it can also convince Zhu Weijun of Ma Teng's sincerity.

So after Zhu Weijun knew that Ma Teng had entered Changxin Palace according to the agreement, Wei Yan would naturally not continue to fish in the frontal battlefield. He wanted to put more pressure on Han Sui, so that Han Sui could not easily withdraw Out of Chang'an City.

Therefore, under Wei Yan's command, Zhu Weijun finally launched a final assault on Changxin Palace.

At this time, Wei Yan arranged for the next batch of soldiers who had already recharged their batteries for a while, and stepped forward to replace the soldiers who had been fighting for a long time on the battlefield ahead. Also following Zhu Weijun's offensive, he pushed forward to the battlefield ahead.

With Zhu Weijun's sudden change, the new force who replaced him quickly killed the unprepared soldiers of Han Sui's army on the battlefield ahead to collapse.

Han Suijun's soldiers couldn't help retreating quickly, trying to put Zhu Weijun within the range of the rear archers, and use the cover of the rear archers as before to dispel Zhu Weijun's aggressive momentum, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack back.

But this time, as Han Sui's army retreated, Zhu Weijun didn't go after him directly, but stopped in place to reorganize the army.

Immediately, the siege equipment such as cave carts, tiger carts, knife walls, and wall-climbing ladders were also pushed up, so under the protection of the shield formed by swords and shields, Zhu Weijun slowly approached the Changxin Palace ahead. .

Not far from the outer wall of Changxin Palace, Zhu Weijun used the tiger cart knife wall as a barrier and the cave cart as a passage to form a mobile barrier, thus protecting the Zhu Weijun soldiers in the rear and allowing them to fight to the Changxin Palace more safely. The outer wall of the Shingong Palace is near.

At the same time, a large number of crossbow archers and archers in the Zhu Wei army, under the protection of the wall formed by the tiger cart knife wall, came to Changxin Palace and threw crossbow arrows and feather arrows on the palace wall and the rear wall, suppressing the enemy. Han Suijun's defensive and counterattack capabilities.

Then a large number of sword and shield fighters rushed to the outer wall of Changxin Palace, set up a series of ladders, and began to climb and charge towards the wall of Changxin Palace.

For a time the fighting became brutal.

The feathered arrows of both attackers and defenders cross each other in the air. The feathered arrows with sharp arrows are like the eyes of death. Once the target is selected, people will bleed to death. However, it is impossible to take everything into account after all.

So casualties are naturally happening all the time, whether it is offensive or defensive, they may be killed or injured by feather arrows and crossbow arrows falling from the sky at any time.

At this time, for Zhu Weijun's soldiers, the only way to end the catastrophe as soon as possible is to kill the wall of Changxin Palace and enter Changxin Palace, so they rushed forward bravely.

At this time, most of the soldiers Han Suijun had killed from Changxin Palace and Gongwei to the street outside had been forced by Zhu Weijun to retreat to the intersection of Changxin Palace and Gongwei.

At this time, outside the east wall of the entire Changxin Palace, there were no soldiers of Han Suijun who could stop Zhu Weijun from charging up the wall, and only on the east wall of Changxin Palace, the defenders of Han Suijun still used spears, falling stones, and rolling logs to attack. Looking at Zhu Weijun who was trying to climb up.

Fortunately, the east wall of Changxin Palace is only as high as two or three people. After all, it is not a real city wall, so putting the ladder up can completely form a slope for the attacking Zhu Weijun soldiers to step on and run up. In this way, they can climb ninety degrees. Climbing is easier to attack the top of the wall.

Of course, Han Suijun's soldiers still have a geographical advantage and have various defensive preparations, so if Zhu Weijun's soldiers want to kill the wall, they still need to pay a high price.

At this time, in order to block the right side of Shangguan Back Street leading to Changxin Palace, the Gongwei stronghold occupied by Han Suijun continued to send troops to counterattack. Zhu Weijun also formed a row of tiger carts and knife walls here to block Han Sui's soldiers counterattacked and charged.

If you look down from the high altitude of the battlefield at this time, on the battlefield north of Chang'an City, the area occupied by Han Sui's army looks like a horizontal 7, and the horizontal line above the 7 is where Changxin Palace is located. The wall, and the side direction is the area of ​​the palace guard and the Chang'an city wall behind.

The focus of Zhu Weijun's attack was the horizontal line area above the word 7, and then blocked the side with a tiger car knife wall. However, although Zhu Weijun could block the counterattack of Han Sui's soldiers, he still had to face the attack of Gong Wei and Han Sui's archers on the Chang'an city wall. Feather arrows threatened.

But at this time, Wei Yan didn't care about the feather arrows shot by these archers. This was an unavoidable loss, so Wei Yan just commanded the soldiers to attack the Changxin Palace in front, and prepared to enter the Changxin Palace as soon as possible.

Of course, if there is no flanking attack by Ma Teng's army in Changxin Palace, then Han Sui can send a large number of troops to resist it from the front, and then send generals to lead the attack from the side, so as to forcefully break through Zhu Weijun's blockade, kill Zhu Weijun's cave chariot , Tiger Cart Knife Wall, so that you can still take advantage of the geographical advantage occupied by Han Suijun to repel Zhu Weijun's strong attack.

But as Ma Teng's army entered from the west area of ​​Changxin Palace, it was naturally impossible for Han Sui to continue to fight Zhu Weijun here.

Therefore, Han Sui now only sent a part of his troops to continue to block Zhu Weijun's attack in front of Changxin Palace.

From the side, Han Sui had already begun to arrange for his troops to withdraw from Chang'an City from the city gate where the 7-character horizontal and vertical angle was located. This way, Han Sui naturally could not send troops to counterattack Zhu Weijun's offensive against the Changxin Palace in front.

At the same time, with the withdrawal of Han Sui's army on the flank, the archers of Han Sui's army who were originally on the palace guard and the north wall also gradually withdrew, so that the pressure on Zhu Weijun's side was also weakened.

Of course, it wasn't that Han Sui didn't want to take the opportunity to kill more Zhu Weijun, but Han Sui was worried that if the delay continued, the palace guards and the troops on the north wall would be blocked by Zhu Weijun and unable to evacuate.

The current battle situation has left Han Sui no time to delay, so he can only speed up the retreat...
