Chapter 91: The City Gate Opens!
Chapter 91: The City Gate Opens!
While Yu Jin led his soldiers to defend desperately, Liu He was secretly planning to attack Chang'an.
On the third night after Liu He rushed to Bashang, the [-] troops under his command had quietly arrived at Chang'an City, and surrounded Chang'an City from the east, south, and west directions.
This time, Liu He adopted the military method of "surrounding three queries and one", which is usually a method to wipe out the defenders without the strength or to reduce casualties. In fact, it does not mean that Liu He's army has no strength to defeat Chang'an The complete annihilation of the defenders, mainly because the encirclement of the city would do more harm than good to the current Liu He.
Because the siege on all sides will cause the defenders to panic, which will cause those defenders loyal to Li Jue and Guo Si to hijack the emperor and hundreds of officials and ministers in a hurry. The armies of Jue and Guo Si are close to Bashang, which will make the defenders more confident, guard Chang'an, and wait for reinforcements.
Therefore, if you want to occupy Chang'an, you must be fast. Even if someone cooperates with you, you must move like thunder to complete the occupation before the enemy troops in Ba Shang react, and quickly deploy defenses to successfully attract the attention of Li Jue's army. Let Li Jue's army attack Chang'an, and then attack front and back with the [-] defenders in Bashang to defeat the Xiliang army together.
"My lord, according to the news from Chong Shao and others, we are asked to wait outside the Yongmen Gate on the north side of the Fenxi city wall at the third watch, but it is already the third watch, why is the city gate still open? Is there some accident? ?”
Zhou Cang quietly came to Liu He, looked at the tall city wall in front of him, and said worriedly.
"Zhou Cang, you don't have to worry, just wait patiently. After all, Chang'an also has the cooperation of Yang Feng's army. I believe Zhong Shao and the others will open the city gate soon."
In fact, there is also a trace of worry in Liu He's heart. After all, this Yang Feng is not a strong-willed person, and apart from Chong Shao, Ma Yu, Liu Fan and others, the emperor and other officials are still under the control of Li Jue. In Guo Bang's barracks, plus Lu Fan and Jia Xu were brought to Bashang by Li Jue and Guo Bang to participate in the battle, there was no one in charge in the city, so as long as Yang Feng turned against the water, the attempt to attack Chang'an would immediately turn into a waste of water .
However, Liu He will not tell Zhou Cang these worries, not to mention that Liu He is not without countermeasures. Once the worries really become reality and he cannot attack Chang'an, he will immediately lead his army to attack Li Jue and Guo Si's main force from behind. Although the army failed to capture Chang'an in this way, it was only a matter of time before they also entered Chang'an.
It's just that the situation is changing, so I don't know who will get Chang'an. If I spend so much manpower and material resources this time, but end up marrying someone and giving away Chang'an, then this will be a great joy.
As time passed bit by bit, the patience of Liu He and his soldiers was worn away bit by bit.
"My lord, it's almost four o'clock. Why don't Chong Shao and the others come? Could something really happen?"
Zhou Cang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered to Liu He.
Liu He's complexion was also ugly, and Guo Jia and Xun You's complexion was also ugly at the same time, because they had already expected that Zhong Shao and the others were probably exposed this time.
"My lord, why don't we lead our troops to Bashang? I think we can reap a lot of money by attacking Li Jue's camp at this time." Guo Jia sighed secretly and persuaded in a low voice.
But at this moment, the sound of killing suddenly came from the city just across the door.
Everyone's spirits immediately lifted, which at least proved that someone had already started to find a way to deal with them, so they all stared at the city gate, waiting for the city gate to be opened.
In fact, Zhou Cang's crow's mouth worked. When Zhong Shao and the others were about to start their operations, the secret was revealed. It turned out that a soldier beside Zhong Shao and a soldier under Li Li's command were cousins. After hearing the news, this soldier was worried about his cousin's life, so he came to his cousin overnight and wanted to drag him away, but he didn't expect that his cousin was loyal to Li Li, so he immediately reported the news to Li Li. After Li Li was captured, Li Li didn't rest at all, so he immediately ordered Zhong Shao and others to be captured and killed on the spot.
However, Li Li did not expect that his actions of leading the army to capture and kill Zhong Shao and others alarmed Shang Shu Pei Mao.
In fact, after Pei Mao heard the news, apart from feeling worried and nervous, he didn't come up with any ideas.
But at this moment, Pei Mao's eldest son, Pei Qian, suddenly said decisively: "Father, we have nothing to hesitate now. Immediately order the Qi family generals, slaves, nurses and others to ride on Li Li's Before the sergeants arrived, we took the Yongmen first, but fortunately we live in the west of the city, the closest to the Ximen, as long as everyone fights hard, there is still hope of survival."
"But if we don't succeed, I'm afraid we will have the disaster of extermination..." Pei Mao still hesitated.
But Pei Qian said: "Life and death are always a struggle, and the opportunity is fleeting. We can't sit still. Father, you must know that if Zhong Shao and the others are captured, they may not drag us out. We will still die at that time." , and if we fight now, we still have a chance!"
"This..." Pei Mao thought for a moment, and seeing his son's firm attitude, he finally nodded and said, "That's fine, if that's the case, then I will listen to you. All the personnel in my father's family are at your disposal, life or death , all in one fell swoop!"
Pei Qian nodded in agreement, and then summoned a total of 300 generals, guards, servants, and slaves in the mansion, mobilized impassionedly, and gave them weapons. Those who did not have weapons took sticks and hoes and so on, and then solemnly said: "This action is a battle of our life and death, so everyone must move forward with one heart, otherwise, not only ourselves, but even our family members will die. As long as the matter is done, I will definitely ask for rewards for you, everyone, the success or failure of life and death depends on one move, listen to my order, everyone set off immediately!"
Afterwards, Pei Qian led this improvised miscellaneous army, and set off for the west gate in mighty strength.
Arriving at the west city gate, Pei Qian had no extra nonsense, and immediately led the 200 men under his command to attack the gate guards. Since it was night and it was close to the fourth watch, there were not many guards at the gate, only two More than a dozen people, not even wearing armor, almost without any defense, were suddenly attacked by these more than 200 people.
In order to guard against Yechang Mengduo, Pei Qian personally led the most powerful guards in the palace to kill under the city gate, opened the city gate with all his might, then cut off the rope on the suspension bridge, came to the moat, and shouted: "It is Liu Shi who is here!" Your Majesty? This is Pei Qian, the eldest son of Shangshu Pei Mao, who was ordered by his father to lead his slaves to open the city gate. Time is running out. Please don't hesitate to enter the city immediately, otherwise, if there is a moment of delay, Li Li's army may be killed. will come."
