Turbulent Times Chapter 1524: This is the treasure that King Qin An gave me
Under the joint efforts of Anzi and Yin Shishi of the Far Eastern Army in Chang'an City, the defenders of Chang'an City have already determined that if the Li Family Army breaks through the city, they will surely slaughter the city.
In particular, most of the defenders are local Guanzhong people, and many of them have family members and relatives in the city. Even if they have doubts about this rumor, it is better to believe that this kind of thing has nothing to do with it.
In short, with the offensive and defensive battles being fought to such an extent, many soldiers in the Chang'an City defenders thought that as long as they had breath, they could not tolerate their relatives being slaughtered by the Li family's army.
Li Yuan wants to lead the Li family army into the city, unless all the defenders in the entire Chang'an city are dead.
The third wave of attacks was quickly repelled without even using many grenades.
A dozen or so soldiers of the Li family army who had lost support and were struggling for time at the top of the city were pushed directly off the city wall by the angry defenders, and were smashed into meatloaf or shot into hedgehogs.
A guarding soldier with a big arm and a round waist raised a big axe, aimed at the ladder hooked on the top of the city, and slashed hard.
One axe, two axes, three axes, and several feathered arrows flew in the air, shooting them like hedgehogs. The dying axeman raised his arms again, roaring sharply, the **** blade glaring and chilling in the sun.
The ladder finally broke away from the city wall, turned over and fell to the ground, torn apart. The axeman laughed a few times, hugged the battlements with one hand, lowered his head and jumped off the city wall, smashed an injured Li Jiajun who was trying to escape under the city, and killed him alive.
Another wave of attackers was soon overwhelmed by the defenders of Chang'an City.
The 5,000 brothers under Li Anyuan's command had already suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and their morale was in jeopardy.
"Mr. Tang is watching everyone!" He yelled angrily, "Rush up, don't embarrass me!"
With the battle at this level, the motivational effect of this false language is very limited, but the heavy reward can still have some effect, so Li Anyuan had to keep increasing the reward.
However, even if he promised the biggest official position and rewards that he could give within the scope of his authority, the morale of the brothers was still very limited, and the overall situation was still sluggish.
The horrific scene of the grenade explosion before the garrison had a great impact on the morale of the Li family army. Immediately afterwards, the defenders were affected by the rumors that the Li family army would massacre the city, and their morale soared. This method of fighting, especially the reality of heavy casualties, made the attacking Li family army officers and soldiers really unable to summon up courage.
"Take it!" When Li Anyuan thought of Li Yuan looking at him from behind, especially when he thought of the consequences of being disappointed by Li Yuan, as if he saw that the founding hero had gone away from him, he threw the command flag to him with a determined face. Liu Yajun, his lieutenant general.
Without waiting for Liu Yajun to react, Li Anyuan held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and led his own soldiers towards the city wall, yelling, "It belongs to a man, come with me!"
While running, he shouted loudly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
In the back, Li Yuan held the binoculars that his second son Li Shimin had honored last year and saw that Li Anyuan had personally led his soldiers to charge the city. Although his face was ugly and gloomy, and he was also disappointed with Li Anyuan, he knew that the general who was attacking the city would personally attack the city. It was a great joy to attack and break the city, but it failed, and even died at the head of Chang'an City, which dealt a great blow to the morale of one's own army.
So Li Yuan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Blow the gong and trumpet, retreat, and stop here for today's attack."
"Dang Dang Dang Dang!" The crisp gong sounded from Li Yuan's position, and the messengers around him responded immediately, and the horn sounded immediately, spreading far away, ensuring that the Li family's army that was besieging the city from all sides would able to hear.
The sudden sound of gongs and horns from behind stopped Li Anyuan's desperate behavior, and also called all the soldiers of the Li family army who participated in the siege away from the battlefield.
In fact, when the retreating gongs and horns sounded, all the siege commanders of the Li family breathed a sigh of relief, and even many of them were ecstatic, because if they continued to attack the city, they might die immediately in the next step.
"The dog's Far Eastern Army, the dog's gunpowder weapons..." Li Anyuan cursed in a low voice, lowered his head in frustration, turned around with his soldiers, and followed the flow of people away from the city wall.
Contrary to the Li Family Army, the defenders on the top of the city saw the Li Family Army retreating, and burst into shouts resounding through the sky.
The morale of the retreating Li family army became even lower when they heard the cheers.
Yin Shishi supported the battlement with one hand, panting heavily. If the enemy organizes another attack, they may have to use grenades to repel them again, and he doesn't know how many gunpowder weapons the Far East Army secretly sent in. If they run out, Chang'an City will still be unable to defend!
"Mr. Huang, could it be that your Far East Army has received the information? Is it true that Li Yuan is really going to massacre the city!" Looking at the enemies retreating like a tide, he asked without looking back, because he knew that Huang, his most trusted aide, Mr. stands behind.
Mr. Huang carefully wiped off the blood on his saber, inserted it into the scabbard, smiled and said in a low voice: "Of course this is fake."
"Mr. Huang, you should know that although this kind of rumor can boost the morale of the soldiers and even save the entire army at a critical moment, it is extremely difficult for this rumor to continue to spread, especially if it spreads to Li Yuan's army outside the city. It may cause Li Yuan to turn this matter into a reality, to truly massacre the city." Yin Shishi's voice was also very low, but when he was speaking, he glanced enviously at Mr. Huang's precious knife inserted into the scabbard. I noticed that Mr. Huang used this knife to cut off the swords of several soldiers of the Li family army who attacked the city. Although it can't be regarded as cutting iron like mud, it is clearly almost the same. This is a real treasure knife!
"General Yin, don't worry, our Far Eastern Army's military intelligence office has a big data analysis of Li Yuan's character, although we dare not
It is 100% correct, but some major events are also almost inseparable. With Li Yuan's character, in order not to become a vicious tyrant, he will never give the order to slaughter Chang'an City. "Mr. Huang was very confident when he said these words.
"That's good, that's good! With your words, I will feel relieved." Although Yin Shishi didn't know what big data analysis meant, he also knew the information of the Far Eastern Army's Military Information Office. Great, knowing that since the Far Eastern Army has come to such a conclusion, there should be no mistakes, and it is also a long sigh of relief.
When Mr. Huang was talking just now, he felt Yin Shishi's gaze, so he handed this precious sword to Yin Shishi, and said: "If the general likes this sword, I will give this sword to the general."
Master Yin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and took the treasured sword handed over by Mr. Huang, suddenly his heart moved, his eyes flickered, and he said: "Such a precious sword is rare in the world, could it be that His Royal Highness Qin An gave it to me?" Will the gift?"
Mr. Huang thought to himself: Master Yin, you take yourself too seriously. Although the plan for Chang'an City was personally approved by the prince, the specific operation was fully implemented by Shen Guoer and the Military Intelligence Department. After the arrangement was made, even Commander Shen Guoer followed the prince to the Central Plains. In short, the role of Yin Shishi was not in the prince's eyes.
In fact, Yin Shishi regards this sword as a precious sword, but although there are not many people in the Far East Army, there are officers above the middle level and people with special status, and there are probably thousands of them in total. .
Of course, Mr. Huang would not tell the truth to Master Yin, and following what Master Yin thought he was right, he nodded inscrutablely and said: "General Yin's eyes are like torches, and our prince has long favored and subdued General Yin." It's just that the prince wants to plan the Central Plains himself, and deal with the 400,000 troops of Wagang led by Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others, otherwise he would have come to accept General Yin's surrender. But just as General Yin thought, the prince ordered him to bring this The treasured sword came here and sent to General Yin, with the intention of letting the general protect himself so that he can serve under the command of the prince in the future."
Although Yin Shishi's talent is much lower than Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong and others, but with the support of his family these years, he can be regarded as a prosperous official, so he has developed a rather conceited character, and has no respect for Mr. Huang's words. He was a little skeptical, thinking that he should also have a certain place in the eyes of the famous King Qin An.
So, when he heard Mr. Huang's words, he didn't have the slightest doubt. Instead, he was ecstatic and swore loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I will swear to the death to protect the city of Chang'an for the prince and never let the prince down." /
After a pause, Yin Shishi asked again: "I just don't know how many gunpowder weapons our Far East Army transported into the city?"
Mr. Huang smiled and said: "General Yin, don't worry, as long as you don't abuse it, it will be enough for a month. And after a month, my Far East Army will definitely make some moves, and Li Yuan may retreat by then."
