Chapter 931 Defense Change
Starting on August 19, the offensive against Chang'an suddenly became intense, but most of it was concentrated in the north of the city.
When I heard that King Liang was coming, I was no longer stupid enough to cheat. Even if it's just a show, you have to work hard, otherwise you never know what will happen next.
The King of Liang claimed that "all Yi and Xia are safe", but he was merciless when he attacked the Xiongnu in Henan and Hebei, and his hands were very dark when he attacked Tuoba Xianbei. If he catches the mistake and attacks your tribe, it may not be possible. How many people are fighting for you?
On the morning of the 19th, Feng Yi and Di Qiang took the lead in launching an attack. They fought repeatedly with the Huyan tribe and were defeated.
This time, someone really shouted "Our army is defeated."
Fortunately, this is a siege, and each unit has its own camp and is independent of each other. The collapse of one unit can only cause a small-scale commotion.
The most important thing is that there are those who are eager to make progress, such as Di Chief Pu Hong.
He personally led five thousand cavalry to attack and drove back the Huns' attack.
The Qiang Yao Yizhong tribe took advantage of the situation and killed Runan King Liu Xian before Pu Hong. The remaining two thousand people of the Huyan tribe abandoned their camp and clamored outside the city, demanding to enter the city.
Guanglu doctor Hu Xun was ordered to deliver grain and grass. After hearing the news, he suggested that the remaining soldiers be put into the city and stationed in Xiaoyao Garden. Strictly speaking, Xiaoyao Garden did not belong to the scope of Chang'an City. It was just a place for the royal family to play. That's all, even though it has walls.
Jin Ming, who was guarding the gates of the North City, suppressed the commotion and refused to let him go on the grounds that Xiaoyao Garden was directly connected to the palace city.
In despair, the Huyan tribe mounted their horses and circled to Dongcheng. They were intercepted by Liang Xun's tribe outside the Qingming Gate. More than half of them were killed and wounded, and the rest were captured.
During the battle, there was another episode: Pu Hong was very dissatisfied with Yao Yizhong's behavior of grabbing credit. It could even be said that he was extremely angry. For this reason, he shot Yao Yizhong on the spot and missed.
Of course, he denied it afterwards, and Yao Yizhong didn't mention it, so he just pretended that it never happened.
As for whether it really didn't happen and whether he holds a grudge, only God knows.
In the afternoon of the same day, a fierce offensive was also launched in the south of the city.
Zhao Gu, who had been silent for many days, led his troops and horses to fight repeatedly with the Huns in the densely populated residential area, trying to advance to the outside of Anmen and Xi'an Gate.
Zhao Gu was a tough guy back then, worse than Wang Mi, and his troops were severely damaged many times, but after so many years of war experience, he has made great progress.
In particular, a group of old thieves have lived with Zhao Gu until now and have rich military experience. When they serve as officers at all levels, they can teach newcomers how to fight. In addition, Zhao Gu's troops have not suffered a devastating blow in recent years, and the newcomers have slowly grown up, so their real strength is quite good, and may be on the same level as the Yellow Head Army.
The 5,000 men of the Xubu tribe guarding the south of the city could not be defeated in the residential area, so they sent cavalry to intercept Zhao Gu's retreat.
Zhao Gu sent a second group of men and horses to advance in formation and force the Huns cavalry back.
Some of the miscellaneous cavalry took advantage of the situation to pursue and made considerable gains.
When the battle ended in the evening, the Huns retreated to their camp in the south of the city and stopped attacking.
After nightfall, Tu Gebu in the west of the city selected two thousand elite soldiers to attack at night, and tens of thousands of people were defeated by the besiegers who besieged the city.
Lu Shuihu guarded the camp carefully, neither escaping nor attacking.
The soldiers of the wealthy families in Anding and Xinping counties were indistinguishable, thus avoiding larger-scale chaos.
They did not send troops out of camp until after dawn. They encountered hundreds of Huns soldiers who had strayed during the night, and surrounded and killed them all.
The heads were piled in front of the formation, looking like they were showing off their power.
At the same time, Peng Tian sent an envoy to Weibei to report the names of the several tribal nobles who escaped last night and asked them to be punished.
Shao Xun pressed down and did not reply.
But Peng Tianhu's behavior shows that the contradictions between the Hu people are very serious. After all, there is only such a small area in Guanzhong, barbarians from all over the country are still pouring in, the population is increasing day by day, and the per capita resources are decreasing day by day. It would be abnormal if there is no contradiction.
All day long on the 19th, there was no fighting around Chang'an except in the east city.
Liang Xun stayed in strict formation for a whole day, and found out that the Huns had been clamoring for a long time, asking for reinforcements to be sent from the city, or to be let into the city, but they never received a response.
I don’t know whether it was the decision of the Dongcheng garrison, or the refusal of the cavalry general Jin Zhun.
On the 20th, the fighting continued.
Someone proposed to transfer tens of thousands of Huns soldiers who surrendered at Pujin Pass and Tongguan, but this was also rejected.
These tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers were screened, and the Zhuangke from the Guanzhong gentry were recruited and released to reduce the food pressure.
The miscellaneous soldiers were divided into different situations, and some were released while others were placed under guard.
None of the real Huns were released, and they were guarded by the Huangtou Army and the Fubing Department.
Outside Chang'an, looting intensified.
Shao Xun sent envoys to various counties, asking the tribal soldiers to disband and return to their respective families.
Some people listened and accepted it as soon as it was good.
Some people didn't listen, and Shao Xun didn't intend to cause trouble for them for a while. He just secretly made a note to make a fuss after Chang'an was captured.
******
The situation in Chang'an City became increasingly chaotic.
Thousands of people from the Huyan tribe were almost wiped out, and their end was extremely miserable.
When changing defense, Hu Yanshi almost stared out of his eyes, wishing to eat Jin Ming.
"You still remember what happened back then!" Hu Yanshi put his hand on the handle of the knife and said angrily as he looked at Jin Ming who smelled of alcohol.
Jin Ming ignored him at all, and only ordered the sergeants to form a formation, preparing to take over Miyagi's defense.
He knew what Hu Yanshi was talking about.
To be precise, there was actually more than one. When Jin Zhun was at his peak, he served in the Central Guards and led the Xiongnu army to raid Henan, but was defeated by Shao Xun.
It was a big fall that time.
The people who slaughtered various clans and Huyan tribes made matters worse, and demoted Jin Zhun to manage Ma Zheng. He almost never got up again.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to join Liu Can and gave birth to two beautiful and beautiful daughters, Jin Zhun would have really had no chance.
The other is the death of the great craftsman Jin Ling.
He supervised the construction of the Wenming and Huiguang Halls for Liu Cong, but he was beheaded because he was a little slow.
In fact, there is an old incident from more than ten years ago, that is, Jin Chong and Bu Jue led their troops to fight and were defeated. As a result, Jin Chong blamed Bu Jue and killed him.
Liu Cong was furious after hearing the news and killed Jin Chong as well.
Jin Zhun, Jin Ling, and Jin Chong were all prominent figures in the Jin family. As a result, they were demoted and died. Do you think people hate them?
If we dig deeper, Liu Can heard that Jin Zhun's youngest daughter, Jin Yueguang and Jin Yuehua's sister, Jin Yueming, was the most beautiful, so he wanted to accept her.
Jin Zhun could only announce that the woman had died of illness, and then he gave up.
Liu Yao also met the daughter of Jin Zhun's younger brother Jin Kang by chance, so he never forgot her and wanted to accept her. But before he could take action, he died in Shangdang.
Jin Kang was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Liu Can heard about it and wanted to marry Jin Kang's daughter. Jin Kang could only claim that his daughter was Liu Yao's widow. Liu Can thought and hesitated again and again, and finally gave up.
Jin Zhun also had a younger sister who was a child of the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi and was executed for committing adultery with a servant.
Tuge Liuquan was a lustful ghost, and he would not let go of a beautiful woman. How can you give up after being so humiliated?
Of course, this also shows that Jin's genes are good.
Jin Zhun's cousin was taken away by Liu Yi, and her two daughters were almost fought over by Liu Cong and Liu Can's father and son. The third daughter was almost lost. Even the daughter of his younger brother Jin Kang was attracted by Liu Yao, which shows that women Being beautiful is also a disaster, especially for aristocratic women with higher status.
In the eyes of outsiders, Jin Zhun's daughter was a queen, and he himself was a chariot-riding general who often intervened in state affairs. With such wealth and status, there should be no reason for rebellion.
No! You don't understand abstract human thinking.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these things would indeed make Jin Zhun angry, but are they really enough to constitute a reason for rebellion? It didn't seem like enough, but Jin Zhun felt it was enough.
I just want to kill Ge Liu, so what?
Not only must Liu Can be killed, but Liu Cong's bones must be dug out and beheaded. None of the Liu family's children will survive. This is his "minimum standard" for revenge...
Jin Ming only knew that his brother Jin Zhun wanted to rebel, but he didn't know how much he would do or to what extent he would rebel.
At this moment, he just ignored Hu Yanshi's words and ignored him. After finishing the team formation, he took the men and horses away.
As for who will open the city gate after Hu Yanshi takes over Beicheng, haha, there is no need to worry.
There are still people who are willing to follow the Jin family in rebellion, such as the Qiwu family, which is also a major Xiongnu noble, and like the Jin family, they have been bullied in the past and cannot get in.
"Rustling" footsteps sounded in the city.
After the two thousand people withdrew from the North City, they went all the way south, then turned east. When they passed Duanmen, they handed over to the more than a hundred soldiers stationed here.
The original guards rushed to Beicheng and returned to Hu Yanshi's place to build a camp. Jin Ming left a hundred of his confidants to garrison here.
The large group of people continued to move forward, and when they arrived at Xiyemen, they delivered again.
Afterwards, Jin Ming led his people in from Xiyemen, while some troops continued eastward to Dongyemen and other places.
Chang'an is slightly smaller than Luoyang, but the palace city is larger than Luoyang palace city, although it is very dilapidated.
The palace city experienced many wars and was built by Liu Han. It is currently divided into two parts, namely the Imperial Palace on the west side and the Prince's Palace on the east side, also known as the East Palace.
The Xiye Gate leads directly to the palace, and the Dongye Gate leads to the East Palace - where Liu Can's prince Liu Yuangong lives.
After entering Xiyemen, Jin Ming assigned his men to go to the Arsenal, Taiji Hall, Jianzhang Hall, Forbidden City, Harem and other places to replace the last batch of guards.
He personally led people to inspect the doors inside the Shenhu, Yunlong, Zhonghua and other palaces to ensure that they were all replaced by his own people.
As for the pavilions and pavilions in the palace, they were abandoned and there were not that many manpower.
After doing all this, he went into the Tai Chi Hall in person and asked to see the emperor Liu Can. However, he was told that the emperor was still drunk, so he gave up.
At this time, Jin Ming couldn't help but sneer secretly.
A large army besieged the city. Instead of going to the top of the city to boost morale, the emperor looked dejected and about to perish. How could he govern all directions?
Since you yourself feel that the chances of winning are slim and have given up, there is nothing more to say. I will help you make it real and make you really finished.
On the night of the 20th, the fighting outside the city not only did not stop, but in fact became more intense.
The soldiers on both sides risked their lives in the west, south and north of the city, and the killings continued, attracting the attention of many people.
In the middle of the night, more than 3,000 people lined up in neat queues and arrived outside Duanmen.
Not long after, the door was opened wide, all the people were put in, and then the door was closed again.
In addition to pavilions and pavilions, there is also an arsenal inside Duanmen.
Dozens of people stood outside the arsenal gate, urging.
More than three thousand people formed a military formation outside the arsenal and lined up to receive armor and other equipment.
At Yin Shi, the cavalry general Jin Zhun entered Duanmen, and a sudden but expected rebellion was about to break out.
