Chapter 3908 Defeat is decided


Chapter 3908: Defeat is Determined

Yu Suigu commanded his private soldiers to line up and rush towards the oncoming heavy infantry of Youtun Guards. The two armies collided head-on on the long street outside the West Market Gate. The menacing Yu family's private soldiers were like waves hitting the rocks. On the ground, blood splattered and limbs flew everywhere. The enemy stood still and still advanced slowly and steadily, but his private soldiers suffered heavy casualties and their momentum was frustrated.

Yu Suigu almost went crazy. His soldiers slashed at the opponent's armor covering his body with horizontal swords. Sparks were seen shooting out, but they could not hurt the enemy at all. However, the enemy's swords could easily break through the clothes and leather armor of his soldiers. Cut off limbs.

How to fight this battle?

Yu Suigu was a little dumbfounded for a while. In the past, the Guanlong army had never won against the Youtun Guards and was beaten to a disgrace. He always thought that although the Youtun Guards had good combat capabilities and were a powerful army that swept through Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun, they could not It may not be as shown, but most of the Guanlong army is still a mob and even more unbearable.

If it were him who led his soldiers into battle, he would definitely be able to curb the momentum of the Youtun Guards. Why would he be restrained everywhere and lead to a rotten battle?

However, at this moment, Yu Suigu finally realized that it was not that the Guanlong army was incompetent, but that the Youtun guards were actually too strong...

When Fang Jun was in charge of Jingzhao Yin, the West Market was renovated, and now countless shops are opened on the street. Although every household has closed its doors on this plywood for nearly a year, the grandeur has not diminished at all. Now, the two The soldiers and horses started a bloody battle in this most prosperous place in the world.

Although the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, they watched the private soldiers of the family being killed and torn to pieces by the heavy-armed infantry of the Youtun Guards like moths to a flame. The soldiers who were alive and kicking one moment turned into a puddle at the enemy's feet the next moment. There was blood and a pile of minced meat, but Yu Suigu still gritted his teeth, waved his sword, and kept urging his soldiers to move forward, forward!

He was very aware of the serious consequences if the West City was captured by Youtun Guards and advanced to Yanshoufang. At that time, he would have to withdraw the troops from the Taiji Palace to return reinforcements, allowing the East Palace Liuliu, which was currently on the verge of destruction, to take a breather. opportunity.

Especially the impact on the morale of the entire army is immeasurable. Once Changsun Wuji is forced to evacuate from Yanshoufang, it is very likely to lead to a devastating defeat...

At this time, although Yu Suigu felt sorry for the death of every family private soldier, he had to take the overall situation into consideration, hoping to use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to block the enemy's steel-like advancing array.

……

The atmosphere in Yanshoufang was extremely tense. Even the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be weighing heavily on people's hearts. The drizzle not only failed to make people feel clear, but instead clung to them in a sticky and cool way.

In the shops facing the street, scribes and soldiers were coming in and out. Everyone looked solemn and walked hastily. The sudden change in the battle situation made everyone feel deep pressure, and they knew that if they were not careful, everything would be lost. and the resulting serious consequences.

That is something Guanlongmen Valve absolutely cannot bear...

In the side hall, a group of Guanlong bosses looked gloomy and discussed how to solve the current situation.

Linghu Defen was holding a cup of tea in his hand, but he didn't take a sip for a long time. He muttered: "The Youtun Guards are very powerful. Yu Suigu alone may not be able to resist them. We need to mobilize additional troops from outside the city to support them." That’s it.”

The reputation of Youtunwei was gained through fighting. Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun, Tujue, and Dashi were all powerful enemies in the world, and they prostrated themselves under the sword of Youtunwei one by one. Their awe-inspiring and mighty spirit was so powerful that even if they were against Fang Jun had some prejudices and had to admit that Guanlong's army could never match him.

Yuwen Shiji shook his head and said: "How to do it? We don't know what is going on outside Xuanwu Gate now, otherwise the Youtun guards wouldn't have suddenly discovered it when they came to Jinguang Gate. Now if we want to mobilize troops into the city, we can only use Chunming Gate. We are dispatched, but what if Fang Jun has backup and attacks Chunmingmen again?”

I used to think that Changsun Wuji's desperate move to mobilize the troops outside Jinguangmen to enter the city was a stroke of genius, because the risk was certainly very high, but in fact no one thought that Fang Jun would notice this and seize the troops who were empty of combat power outside Jinguangmen. Opportunity to attack.

But now, the divine general stationed on the right side has broken through the defenses of Jinguang Gate and entered the city with lightning speed. Who can guarantee that Fang Jun will not repeat his old tricks and wait until the troops outside Chunming Gate enter the city and send cavalry again? Raid?

Once both Jinguangmen and Chunmingmen fall, the Guanlong army will not even think about defeating the Sixth Army of the East Palace and overthrowing the East Palace. The big guys here can only quickly pack up their luggage and withdraw from Chang'an City from the Mingde Gate in the south, and then go into exile incognito. ……

Linghu Defen didn't know much about military affairs, so he thought it made sense, so he stopped talking.

Changsun Wuji picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then put down the tea cup. He was about to beat up these Guanlong bosses and ask them to take out all their property and fight hard to survive. Suddenly, there was a rush outside the door. The footsteps interrupted him, and he looked with a frown, before Yu Wenjie quickly stepped inside.

This made Changsun Wuji feel "thumped" in his heart. He used to admire Yuwenjie very much, but recently there was no good news almost every time Yuwenjie came in. I hope this time it will be different...

However, the world is like this. Sometimes when you drink cold water and stuff it between your teeth, the more you fear something, the more it will come.

Yu Wenjie quickly walked in, his eyes turned around the big shots, and he pondered for a while, but he felt that the news could not be concealed, so he simply said: "Just now, news came out from the palace that Zhang Shigui opened the Xuanwu Gate, and the prince has led his people out of the city. Arriving at Youtunwei Camp, Fang Jun personally went to Xuanwu Gate to greet him..."

You can hear a needle drop in the hall.

Zhang Shigui opened the Xuanwu Gate and allowed the prince to leave the city. This was almost the worst outcome, but it still happened.

Is it true that God is going to destroy Guanlong?

Even people like Zhang Shigui, who are loyal to His Majesty Li Er, have given up on carrying out His Majesty Li Er's edict and have acquiesced in the fact that the Crown Prince will inherit the throne. This will have a huge impact on the direction of the government and the public. Everyone will regard the Crown Prince as his successor. Put it in a supreme position, and with it, Guan Long's "rebellious" behavior will be endlessly condemned...

Changsun Wuji was the first to react and asked a very important question: "How does Zhang Shigui express his position?"

Yu Wenjie said: "Zhang Shigui wants to defend the Xuanwu Gate for the prince and block our attack."

"..."

All the Guanlong bosses wanted to tear Zhang Shigui into pieces and eat him raw with sauce. This man was known as His Majesty's humerus and was the most loyal. Now he not only violated His Majesty's last edict, but also knelt down in front of the Crown Prince and vowed to serve to the death. He was simply deceiving the world and stealing his reputation. It's abominable. The ultimate!

But apart from resentment, what makes everyone feel even more pessimistic is that the worst-case scenario has finally emerged.

The walls of Xuanwu Gate City are high and thick, and the "Bei Ya Forbidden Army" are all fierce and powerful. It is difficult to break through Xuanwu Gate if they are huddled and defensive. It is definitely not a day's work. However, the sixth rate of the East Palace is still undefeated. Can fight, plus The Youtun Guards have already reached the West City. I don’t know how long the Luoyang Yu family’s private soldiers under Yu Suigu can resist. If they are not careful, the Youtun Guards will block the army that is attacking Taiji Palace. They will attack from both sides and catch turtles in the jar. .

Everyone is looking at Changsun Wuji. Over the years, whether active or passive, Changsun Wuji has become accustomed to controlling the direction and presiding over the overall situation. His status as "Guanlong Leader" is well deserved and unquestionable.

And when it comes to this life-or-death moment, as a leader who has to make a decision in a difficult situation, Changsun Wuji does his part.

He pondered for a long time, weighed the left and right, and said solemnly: "In my opinion, withdrawing troops at this moment will not only fail to preserve strength and stabilize the situation, but will completely lose the initiative. They will be chased and killed by the sixth leader of the East Palace and the Youtun Guards. With the morale of our army, The morale is fine if we fight with the wind, but once we retreat and face an attack, it can easily lead to a complete collapse.”

These words are not to make other people's ambitions destroy their own prestige. Everyone has a clear recognition of the private military power of their respective families. Even if they didn't before, they have gone through several fierce battles, were wantonly killed by the Youtun Guards, and hit their heads in front of the Sixth Leader of the East Palace. Even if the blood is broken, it is impossible to remember to eat and not to fight.

If you hold on to the end, you can still fight; if you retreat, the morale of the army will inevitably fluctuate, morale will plummet, and a massive defeat is not impossible.

Yu Wenshiji asked: "Continue to attack Tai Chi Palace?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "That's all we can do. The Sixth Army of the East Palace has only one breath left. If we can see them completely defeated in one go, our army's morale will be greatly boosted, and the Xuanwu Gate may not be able to stop us. As long as the breakthrough is completed, If we fully occupy the Taiji Palace, we still have a chance, whether we go out of the city to pursue the prince, or rely on the defense of the Taiji Palace. Of course, the most important thing is to send people to Tongguan quickly and ask Li Ji to send his troops to the capital."

When he said this, his mouth was full of bitterness.

He had planned for a long time, exhausted all his energy, and even risked the entire Guanlong family to launch this mutiny. In the end, he had to endure the humiliation and beg Li Ji to return to Beijing for rescue, and gave up the fruits of victory. He was so depressed that he almost vomited blood again. .

But at this point, Guanlong's defeat has been decided. If he doesn't want the entire army to be annihilated, he can only count on Li Ji to come to the rescue in order to balance the court and prevent the Shandong and Jiangnan alliances from flooding into the court and seizing power...

For someone as ambitious as Changsun Wuji, this is nothing less than a heart-breaking act! (End of chapter)
