Chapter 3732 Ambitious
Wang Fangyi disagreed: "Otherwise? As you said, we can't hold on with such a small force. The only difference is that we can delay a little longer and try to buy some time. I hope that General Gao Kan can quickly defeat Yuwen. Longbu. But if the armored cavalry suddenly attacks and defeats Changsun's private army... it will make a lot of money!"
More than just making a fortune?
That is simply an unparalleled achievement! A thousand armored cavalry defeated 60,000 rebels. I'm afraid they are destined to go down in history... Tsk, tsk, this captain is not old, but his ambition is quite big.
Liu Shenli licked his lips, suppressed the excitement in his heart, weighed the left and right, stroked his palms hard, nodded and said: "It's worth a fight!"
Seeing that he agreed, Wang Fangyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is the commander of this army, he is transferred from the Anxi Army after all. He is unfamiliar with the place and his words may not be effective. Once Liu Shenli has a conservative personality and does not dare to take risks, then this idea is bound to be dead - we can't have internal strife when the army is pressing down, right?
Fortunately, Liu Shenli is also a bold person. After hearing this, instead of objecting, he strongly agreed and even volunteered: "If there is a chance to launch a surprise attack later, I will lead the team!"
Wang Fangyi smiled and said: "That's great!"
Not far ahead, a soldier was shot in the shoulder by a cold arrow. In pain, he failed to stop the rebels who were climbing up the ladder. He was slashed on the neck with a knife, and blood spurted out. The rebels also successfully climbed to the top of the city. , achieved the feat of "climbing first", but before he could gain a firm foothold, Wang Fangyi had already marked out with an arrow step, and stabbed his rebel body through with the horizontal knife in his hand, and then drew the knife and kicked the rebel corpse. Kick aside.
Wiping off the blood on his face, he said "Bah" and turned back to Liu Shenli and said: "The commander-in-chief sent us to guard here. It is a helpless move. If we want to break the current passive situation, we can only join forces in one place." , choose a group of rebels to attack them hard. In fact, I am afraid of the commander. We have made the worst preparations for all of us to be killed and Changsun Jiaqing's troops to successfully occupy the Daming Palace... If we can fight to the death in a desperate situation and drag Changsun Jiaqing to this Yamato Gate, just imagine what the commander-in-chief will do How gratifying is it?”
More than just happy?
If this is true, I am afraid Fang Jun will be ecstatic!
The rebels are strong and powerful, and the two armies are advancing together. This poses a great threat to the Youtun Guards. If they are not careful, they will break into the camp, or even directly under the Xuanwu Gate. If that's the case, all the past efforts and countless sacrifices will be meaningless. Xuanwu Gate will be broken and the East Palace will be destroyed. Even if Li Jing controls the Sixth Army of the East Palace, it will be difficult to recover.
But if the Yamato Gate really held back the eldest son Jiaqing, preventing him from occupying the Daming Palace, and when Gao Kan defeated Yuwenlong and turned around to reinforce the Yamato Gate, the situation would be turned upside down.
The East Palace no longer has to worry about the rebels seizing the back door of Xuanwu Gate. Instead, the rebels are afraid that the Youtun Guards will take advantage of the victory to pursue them and attack their camp outside Tonghua Gate.
Offensive and defensive changes can only be made between turning the palm of the hand.
Liu Shenli was so excited that he was gearing up and warned Wang Fangyi with his eyes: "We agreed that whenever there is a chance, I will equip my cavalry to go out of the city and raid, but you can't rob me!"
Wang Fangyi rolled his eyes: "Do I need to fight with you? Now in this Yamato Gate, I am the commander of an army. Have you ever heard of a commander charging into the battle? Go ahead and I will watch the enemy formation for you. If you take it seriously I will give you credit for severely injuring the rebels!”
"Bah! Damn coach, have you grown all your hair yet?"
Liu Shenli muttered, looking unhappy.
There is no way, although this Wang Fangyi is not old and has a low official position, he is a close confidant of the commander-in-chief. He was personally brought back from the Western Regions and entrusted with important tasks. How can I compare?
However, in the military, merit is used to determine the superiority, and I am not incompetent. As long as I make great achievements, wouldn't I still be the commander's confidant?
……
At the foot of the city, looking at the soldiers who were constantly climbing up the city but being driven back, the eldest grandson Jiaqing was filled with worry and anxiety.
It's just a few thousand defenders. If I can't take down the 60,000-strong army in one go, how can I lose face? It’s not just a matter of face. The two armies advanced together and mobilized almost all the main forces of the rebels outside the city. If our side is blocked from the Daming Palace, we will not be able to completely capture Longshouyuan and occupy the north of Chang'an. The geographical location is favorable, and Yuwenlong's side is defeated by Gao Kan and even completely defeated. The situation Guanlong is about to face is simply unimaginable.
It is no longer a question of one person taking responsibility, because it involves the future of the entire Guanlong clan and the lives of countless Guanlong disciples, and no one can afford that responsibility...
"Continue the attack and attack the city at any cost! Supervise the formation of the battle line, but if there is a push from behind, kill without mercy!"
"Charge up, charge up! Where is the arrow tower? Push it to the bottom of the city and suppress the defenders on the city."
Changsun Jiaqing flew into a rage and constantly commanded his soldiers to charge at the risk of death and capture the Daming Palace. Now that the entire Longshou Plain is under control and the geographical advantage of Longshou Plain is occupied, the Youtun Guards will no longer be as stable as before. All they have to do is send cavalry on their own. As Longshou Yuan went down, it was difficult for the right guards to resist.
Xuanwumen was also placed under the front of the Guanlong army.
But if we can't take the Daming Palace, we'll be in big trouble...
However, not all soldiers can understand the current situation in Guanzhong, and even if they can understand it, what does it have to do with slave labor like them? They are currently the slaves of the Changsun family. If the Changsun family falls in the future, they will just become slaves of other families. Their children and grandchildren will work for them. There is not much difference now.
The most important thing is, even if you can only become a servant or slave who sells your life, you still have to have a life to sell, right? If even his life is lost, the parents, wives and children at home may be even more miserable...
If it weren't for the Changsun family's private army who rushed to the front as the backbone, and the supervising team carrying bloody swords behind them, I'm afraid most of the soldiers would have turned around and ran away at this moment, completely collapsing.
There were not many defenders on the city, but they were all brave and good at fighting. In addition, the thunderbolts were constantly thrown down, and soon there was a layer of corpses under the city. When the soldiers charged forward, they stepped on the corpse of Pao Ze, feeling in their hearts. The fear and anger are beyond words.
Morale is inevitably low, and as the battle drags on, this fear will become more and more concentrated until the soldiers are overwhelmed and have a complete psychological collapse...
The eldest son, Jiaqing, had led the army for many years. He could naturally see that the current situation of the army was extremely unstable, and he became more and more eager to conquer the Yamato Gate and occupy the entire Daming Palace.
He kept urging the army to charge, and even sent his own troops to attack. More than 60,000 people performed their duties and all participated in the siege. He didn't even need the reserves. He just wanted to capture Yamato Gate immediately to avoid the army's prolonged attack. No less than a complete morale collapse.
……
The eastern sky has gradually become brighter.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, corpses piled up like mountains and rivers of blood flowed up and down the Yamato Gate. Both the attacking and defending sides suffered heavy casualties. The defenders were short of troops. If one person died in battle, the defense of the city would be weakened. By this time, the city's defenses were almost exhausted. City or only the next moment.
On the contrary, more than a thousand armored cavalry were always on standby inside the city gate. Even though the city was climbed several times by the rebels for fierce battles, and the rebels were driven back at great sacrifice, Wang Fangyi never allowed the armored cavalry to go up to the city to participate in the defense.
He knew that blind defense was useless. Even if a thousand more people joined the defense of Nuo Da's city wall, the inherent disadvantage would still be irreparable. In this case, it would be better for the troops to make a dangerous move and take a risk.
The armored cavalry held the reins and led the horses. They stood silently beside the horses, staring at the battle-torn city gate tower. The battle in their hearts was like a raging fire, but they had to suppress it. Everyone knew Wang Fangyi's intention, and naturally understood that if they wanted to defend the Yamato Gate, pure defense would not work at all. The greatest hope was whether their armored cavalry could deliver a fatal blow to the rebels.
Everyone knows that they shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the Youtunwei camp. Once the Daming Palace falls, all the robes will face the condescending charge of the rebel cavalry, and even the impregnable Xuanwu Gate will fall one after another. The commander-in-chief's final decision The ending will also be death in battle.
Therefore, the cavalrymen stood silently at the foot of the city without saying a word, not letting any of their physical strength go to waste. All their strength was accumulated in their bodies. They just waited for the moment the city gate opened, then they mounted their horses and used Try your best to rush out and hit the rebels hard!
They will never allow the worst scenario to happen. Even if they fight to the last drop of their blood, they vow to defeat the rebels and defend the Yamato Gate!
Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed down from the city, went straight to the city gate, removed the heavy door latch, and slowly pushed the city gate open a gap...
A team quickly came to the front of the armored cavalry and shouted: "The captain has given the order, the cavalry will attack, break the enemy's formation, and go straight to the Chinese army!"
"Wow!"
More than a thousand people jumped on their horses at the same time. They had been waiting for a long time. Their movements were uniform and fast. They didn't even want to waste the energy to speak. They rode forward one after another. When the city gate opened, the rebels outside the city suddenly shouted to kill. When it increased several times and shook the eardrums, it suddenly accelerated and rushed away from the city gate like a torrent. (End of chapter)
