Chapter 3893 Reinforcement of the East Palace
Li Siwen entered and saw Li Jing standing in front of the map. He quickly took two steps forward and said, "Commander, the front line of Chengtianmen is under heavy pressure. The rebels are so powerful that the soldiers can no longer hold on! That stubborn Cheng Chubi would rather die than bend." To save face, if you wait for him to ask for help before sending reinforcements, you may miss something important!”
"Asshole!"
Li Jing reprimanded and shouted: "How can I allow you to point fingers at my actions?"
Li Siwen looked unhappy and didn't dare to say anything more.
Li Jing's face brightened slightly at this moment, he pointed his finger at the East Palace on the map, and said: "The East Palace is separated from the Taiji Palace by a wall, but due to the limited strength of the troops, the defense is insufficient. Once the Guanlong army cannot attack Chengtianmen for a long time, it will inevitably Shift the target, maybe to target the East Palace, and if the East Palace falls, the rebels will. However, they can launch fierce attacks from the east and south to maximize their military superiority. We are restricted at every turn and the situation is unimaginable. I now order you to lead two thousand soldiers to reinforce Chongmingmen. Don't worry about other matters, just leave them to me. Stick it here! Can you do it?”
"Yes! Don't worry, Commander, as long as the general is alive, the rebels will never even take a step into the East Palace!"
Although he still wanted to go to Chengtianmen for reinforcements, fearing that Cheng Chubi would be defeated and refused to retreat, and would be lost in the army, Li Jing could not stop giving orders, so he held his head high and accepted the general's order.
Li Jing looked solemn, patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I know what you are thinking, and I am afraid that my friends will die in the battle under the Chengtian Sect... It is not that I am ruthless, but that the battle situation has reached a critical moment at this moment, and if I am not careful, I will You will suffer a military defeat and lose everything, personal life and death, honor and disgrace. , is insignificant in this war, Cheng Chubi's life is so, your life is so, and so is my commander's life. If we can win this battle with our lives and maintain the integrity of the empire and the orthodoxy of the country, Then death will be glorious!”
"Here!"
Li Siwen was full of enthusiasm and promised loudly.
I am still narrow-minded. This war is about the inheritance of the empire, and there is a deeper struggle for power. There is a huge difference between victory and defeat. They, the generals and commanders of the Sixth Army of the East Palace, have already made up their minds and stand firmly on the side of the prince who represents Zhengshuo of the empire. They can only win but not lose, even if they have to sacrifice their own lives in exchange for victory in this war.
What does personal life and death mean to the great righteousness?
Li Jing nodded heavily and said: "Go!"
Li Siwen knelt down on one knee to perform a military salute, then stood up and strode out of the command post. He came to the reserve team stationed in Taiji Palace Square, ordered two thousand soldiers, and set off immediately. Go eastward along Taiji Hall, pass through Tongxun Gate, enter the East Palace, and immediately arrive at Chongming Gate.
Before arriving at Chongming Gate, he saw soldiers running towards Tongxun Gate. Li Siwen ordered someone to stop him and asked: "How is the battle at Chongming Gate? Where are you going in such a panic?"
The soldier was sweating profusely and said quickly: "General, the rebels have suddenly stepped up their offensive and mobilized a force of five to six thousand people. They are very fierce. Chongming Gate is in danger! The general is about to go to Taiji Palace to request Reinforcements!”
When Li Siwen heard this, he secretly admired him. He was indeed a god of war. He was able to predict the enemy's planes first, saw through the rebels' plot to attack east and west and divert the main attack direction, and sent himself to reinforce in advance. It's a pity that the rebels are powerful and have almost endless backup. However, the Sixth Army of the East Palace has only a few soldiers and few generals. One of them died. Moreover, the fierce battles for half a year almost exhausted the morale of the generals and soldiers. Otherwise, with Li Jingzhi's military ability, he would be a mere Why do the rebels care?
He said to the soldier: "You can go to Taiji Palace and report the situation of the battle at Chongming Gate to the commander-in-chief. I am the reinforcement sent by the commander-in-chief, and I will rush to the battle at Chongming Gate first!"
The soldier couldn't help being happy, said goodbye and left.
Li Siwen waved his hand: "The commander expected the enemy to attack first, and he had already calculated that the rebels would turn to attack Chongmingmen. We were ordered to reinforce, and the timing was just right! Everyone, please follow me to Chongmingmen and kill the enemy to make a contribution!"
"Kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service!"
Two thousand soldiers screamed in excitement. Although the Sixth Army of the East Palace was currently under control and in danger, the commander's uncanny ability to plan ahead did boost the soldiers' morale and confidence. Under the leadership of Li Siwen, they marched quickly to Chongmingmen.
When they arrived at Chongmingmen, the fighting became increasingly fierce.
Li Siwen directed his soldiers to climb the city wall, then grabbed a soldier who was running by and asked, "Where is the guard here?"
When the soldier saw that he was coming for reinforcements, he pointed to the city gate tower not far away: "The general is commanding the defense."
"Take me there."
The soldier took Li Siwen downstairs of the city gate, where a general was shouting orders in a hoarse voice, organizing the soldiers to defeat the rebels who kept climbing to the top of the city.
When Li Siwen came closer, the first thing he did was to deprive the general of his command: "I came here for reinforcements on the order of the commander-in-chief. From now on, I will take over the defense of Chongming Gate. Do you have any questions?"
As he spoke, he took out the military order from his arms and threw it away.
The general first asked Li Siwen for his luggage and said, "I have seen General Li!"
He took the military order and looked at it carefully, then handed it back with both hands and let out a long breath: "There is no problem with the general's side!"
It was fine before that the main attack direction of the rebels was on the front line of Chengtianmen, and the pressure on this side was not great. However, five or six thousand soldiers suddenly joined the siege, which immediately caused a huge impact on the defense and was climbed up by the rebels several times. At the top of the city, although they were all repulsed one by one, the casualties of the defenders increased greatly. Facing the tidal wave of rebel offensives, he, a partial general, was helpless and could only send people for help.
Now that the commander-in-chief has sent Li Siwen, he is naturally willing to hand over the command and feel relaxed...
Li Siwen nodded and ordered people to pass on the military order for him to take over the command, so as to avoid unclear authority and responsibility at the time of command and delay the military aircraft. Then, facing the ferocious rebel offensive, he calmly deployed his troops, leaving 500 of the 2,000 soldiers he brought with him under the city as a reserve force, while the rest were placed at the top of the city to resist the rebel attack.
With the addition of this new force of more than a thousand people, the morale of the defenders at the city head was greatly boosted, and they were able to fight head-on against the rebels who continued to launch offensives. However, the rebels were not afraid of death and climbed up the ladder one by one towards the city. Someone pushed an arrow tower from a distance. The archers climbed onto the arrow tower and fired arrows at the city. The defenders suffered constant casualties.
Li Siwen held the horizontal sword in his hand and watched as his own soldiers beheaded a rebel who climbed to the top of the city and kicked him down. Then another rebel jumped up to the top of the city and knocked down a defender to the ground with the horizontal sword in his hand. , even though he was picked up by several spears and fell to the bottom of the city, he frowned and asked: "Which army is this, so powerful?"
The general wiped the blood and sweat splattered on his face and gasped: "They are the Yuwen family's private soldiers in Woye Town!"
Li Siwen suddenly said: "No wonder!"
Every disciple of Guanzhong has heard of the name of the "Woye Town Private Soldiers". They remember that they were the most powerful army among the Guanzhong clans and made great contributions to the inheritance of the Guanlong clan for hundreds of years. It's just that Yu Wenhuaji hanged Emperor Sui Yang in Jiangdu, and later proclaimed Yang Hao, the son of King Yang Jun of Qin, as emperor and claimed to be the prime minister. He was defeated by Li Mi, and the "private soldiers of Woye Town" accompanying him suffered heavy casualties, and then he established himself as the emperor. The emperor was defeated and beheaded by Dou Jiande. Tens of thousands of "Woye Town private soldiers" were not left alive.
However, the Yuwen family has served as the military leader of Woye Town for more than a hundred years. The entire Woye Town is equivalent to the private property of the Yuwen family. Later, they recruited their children and joined the army. The "Woye Town Private Army" once again shined in helping His Majesty Li Er to fight for the world. .
After all, it has a tradition of bravery and fighting. Even if it suffered repeated heavy losses, it was still the strongest army in the Tang Dynasty except the regular army.
At present, the "Woye Town private soldiers" are launching a charge without fear of death, and the defenders on the city are struggling to fight. Li Siwen can think of this army with high combat power, but it was repeatedly defeated by Youtun Guards outside Chang'an City. The recent one One time, his entire army was almost destroyed, and even the commander was captured. This shows how powerful the Youtun Guards are.
This also aroused Li Siwen's competitive spirit.
Back then, Fang Jun was a dandy boy who spent time walking dogs and doing whatever he wanted. Now, Fang Jun has become a powerful military force like Youtun Guard and Navy and is running rampant in the world. He has made countless military exploits. How can he be content to be second to others? Although the brotherhood has not changed, if the shoulders are not aligned and the status gap is too big, the friendship will gradually fade away, and you have to catch up no matter what.
However, not long after his heroic ambitions arose, he was overwhelmed by the fierce offensive of the rebels. He constantly directed the defenders to support each other and mobilize back and forth to repel more and more rebels who climbed to the top of the city. As time went by, the rain continued, and the sky gradually became brighter. The rebels' fearless charge not only failed to stop, but intensified. (End of chapter)
