Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4364
Fang Jun looked at the fierce Xuanwu Gate, and ordered: "I leave it to you. As long as you break through the city within an hour, I will allow you to be a lieutenant general."

Master Sun Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then his face flushed with excitement, and he shouted loudly: "The last general has orders!"

Turning around, he yelled at the nearby soldiers: "Siege the city with me!"

"Here!"

His personal troops are also very excited. Since he followed Sun Renshi to join Youtunwei, although he has been highly valued by Fang Jun, he joined halfway and the original team of Youtunwei is a little unfamiliar, and there is inevitably some estrangement between them.

But if Sun Renshi can break through the Xuanwu Gate and make great achievements, and become a deputy general, he will be slightly lower than Gao Kan in the army, and he will be completely integrated into the right guard.

Who wouldn't want to truly blend in and become a part of such a powerful army that can last forever and last forever?

The dense battle drums shook the entire battlefield like thunder, and the tall and towering Xuanwu Gate was crumbling under the tide-like offensive of Youtunwei.

*****
The battle to the south of the Weishui River attracted all the attention of all parties in Guanzhong. Numerous scouts witnessed the onslaught launched by the Zuo Houwei after crossing the river, and naturally they also saw the tragic defeat of the army under the artillery bombardment. These scouts didn't care about the shock in their hearts, and hurriedly passed the news back to their respective forces.

All of a sudden, countless scouts ran wildly between the mountains and dense forests, spreading the news of Zuowei's defeat to all directions...

The military camps under the Circular Mound stretched for several miles. Hundreds of thousands of troops lingered here for many days. All kinds of domestic garbage and sewage waste piled up like mountains. Although many of them had been buried on the spot, the pungent smell had already filled the entire camp. Messy and dirty.

This is an unavoidable situation when a large army is stationed. If the permanent camp is good, all kinds of canals and ditches are complete, and the camp is set up reasonably, the garbage generated by a large number of soldiers can be disposed of in time. It's also easy to say, after all, if you lose it all the way, you won't be hoarding it in a certain place.

But now that the [-] troops stay near the Circular Mound for too long, the rubbish is unavoidable. Fortunately, it is already autumn and the weather is getting colder every day. Otherwise, if it is midsummer, mosquitoes and flies will already be breeding and diseases will be rampant...

Towards dawn, there was a rumbling wind in the camp, the soldiers came and went in a hurry with dignified faces, and the lights in the tents of the Chinese army were as bright as day.

The atmosphere is extremely depressing...

When the news of Yin Qinzhou's defeat came, the entire army fell silent.

Who would have imagined that the full-staffed and menacing Left Guards had just crossed the Weishui River to attack the Right Guards, not only failed to defeat the Right Guards who had suffered heavy losses in the two-sided battle, they didn't even have the strength to resist, and they were killed in a single charge. After a round of artillery, he was completely defeated...

The sudden dash of hope that has just been kindled is a very cruel thing, and it is even more shocking than no hope.

Yu Chigong punched hard on the case table, and said angrily: "I have long seen that Yin Qinzhou is not capable of success, but I really didn't expect it to be so unbearable. It's nothing if he can't beat You Tunwei. Could it be that for a day and a half? Can't hold on? It's just trash!"

Everyone was silent, each frowning.

Yin Qinzhou raised troops across the Weishui River to attack Youtunwei, which opened a hole in the current stalemate. It is conceivable that the rest of the army and clans who waited for the opportunity with ulterior motives will follow and swarm up, turning the situation in one fell swoop.

But who would have expected that Yin Qinzhou would lose so quickly and so badly?

Before the armies and elites from all over the world could take action, this side had already been defeated, and the rising trend came to an abrupt end, and was cut off by pinching the neck...

Xiao Yu sighed from the side, and said something fair: "It's no wonder Yin Qinzhou, who would have thought that Fang Er had hidden so many cannons in Youtunwei? Judging from the scout report, in just half a year Within an hour, the right guards fired at least a few hundred shells, blowing up the area where the main force of the left guards was located from the beginning to the end. Who can be invincible under the power of artillery? It is not a crime of war."

Even if Li Jing or Li Ji stood here and let the artillery bombard them indiscriminately, the ending would be the same.

It's not that Yin Qinzhou is incompetent, it's that the power of firearms is too tyrannical...

Feeling emotional, he was also depressed in his heart: this situation went round and round, bright and dark, but it seemed to be completely contrary to his wishes, but those who deviated from him would gradually get better, while those he was inclined to eventually fell into decline.

Is it his bad luck and everything is against him, or is there a problem with his intelligence and strategy, and he can't always choose the correct answer?
The situation is not good...

Li Zhi's face was extremely ugly. This "crime of non-war" just pierced his heart. Huangtu's hegemony requires not only ability, but also a bit of "God's favor". , often times of desperation turn around, which can more and more prove the importance of destiny.

But now the phrase "non-war crime" almost doubts that Li Zhi has not been favored by God, so even though the situation seems to be favorable to him, it is hard to be God's will, and he encountered an incredible failure where he was least likely to fail... …

Chu Suiliang on the side had never been involved in such a meeting. Even if he sat next to him, he kept his eyes on his nose and his heart on the sidelines. But now seeing the solemn scene and the oppressive atmosphere, he couldn't help but asked aloud: "The most important thing now is not to discuss how Yin Qinzhou failed and how powerful the artillery is, but what to do next?"

Even if it is "destiny's destiny", can't it just do nothing and just wait for the pie to fall from the sky?

After all, although he was forced to board the ship of King Jin, he didn't want the ship of King Jin to sink. After all, he wrote a "confession" back then. Once King Jin was destroyed, he wanted to If you want to continue your official career, you have to return to His Majesty's side, so the "confession" may be exposed by Xiao Yu at any time.

Who wants to have a knife hanging over their head all the time...

With a word that awakened the dreamer, Li Zhi lifted his spirits, nodded and said: "This statement is reasonable! The current situation is quite unfavorable to us, and the expected reinforcements may not come. Do we continue to be trapped here?"

Yu Chigong scratched his beard and looked sad: "It's natural to be stuck here, but now the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace is standing still, Cheng Yaojin's position is unclear, and behind him there are Xue, Liu, and Zheng allied forces watching, once we have something to do No one knows what kind of accidents will be caused by the action, so I really dare not move."

Even Yu Chigong, who is brave and good at fighting, said so, which shows how bad the situation is.

Li Zhi frowned with sword eyebrows, he didn't dare to move, and he couldn't do it, what should he do?
He now regrets that he followed the advice of Yu Chigong and others and came straight to Chang'an. Although the soldiers approached the city, he was one step closer to victory, but at the same time he lost his mobility, leading to a stalemate and a dilemma.

If he didn't fall into such a death situation, he would return to Tongguan again and fight with Xue, Liu, and Zheng's allied forces. There may not be no chance of winning...

Facing Li Zhi's expectant eyes, Xiao Yu murmured, knowing that he had become Li Zhi's backbone, and as one of the "masterminds" who supported King Jin's army, he had to come up with ideas at this moment, instead of panicking and panicking. helpless.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "In the current situation, there is no way to retreat. Since you have already fallen into a dead end, why not put yourself to death and live later?"

Everyone in the tent was shocked.

Cui Xin, who hadn't spoken much, asked, "What does Song Guogong mean by this?"

Xiao Yu said: "Fang Jun has completely wiped out the outside of the Xuanwu Gate now. As long as the Xuanwu Gate is captured, they can chase after Li Daozong's rear army and attack. But Li Daozong has been storming the Wude Palace for a long time now. Is it Li Daozong who broke through the Wude Palace first?" To control His Majesty, or should Fang Jun capture Xuanwu Gate first and form a pincer attack on Li Daozong? In my opinion, both are possible. However, to achieve a major event, you have to rely on some luck. If Li Daozong is defeated and Taiji Palace is safe, His Highness will also We can only flee to the end of the world; on the other hand, what if Li Daozong enters Wude Hall first? As long as His Highness can lead the army to capture Mingdemen and enter Chang'an City in time, and the troops go straight to Chengtianmen along Tianjie, the overall situation may be settled .”

Li Zhi was silent, his eyes were a little anxious and hesitant.

He understood Xiao Yu's meaning, as long as he could break into Chang'an City and join forces with Li Daozong, he would be considered invincible. Even if the emperor escaped from Chang'an City, at best the empire would split and the east and west would confront each other.

If you are lucky enough to control the emperor, you will naturally win a big victory.

Of course, the risk of doing so is extremely high. Although you are in a deadly situation now, if you intend to break out, with the strength of the [-] troops under your command, you can still break out. Whether you are exiled to the end of the world, or fled back to Shandong to regroup, you will still be able to survive. points of vitality.But once they break into Mingde Gate and fall into the city of Chang'an, there will be no way out.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

There is absolutely no room for turning around...

Do you want to be so resolute and self-defeating, to live to death?

Yu Chigong stood up, lifted the hem of his battle robe, knelt down on one knee, and his voice was like a bell: "The final general is willing to lead his elite troops into Chang'an, clear the way for His Highness, and welcome His Highness to the Chengtian Gate!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, their eyes fixed on the generous and dignified Yuchi Gong.

Li Zhi was shocked, and subconsciously stood up and walked forward, holding Yuchi Gong's shoulders tightly with both hands, and was extremely moved: "'The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the toughness knows the loyal officials', the Duke of E is loyal and courageous, and the country is unparalleled , the king's humerus!"

Yu Chigong wanted to commit suicide, let Li Zhi stay outside the city, if things fail, he can wait for the opportunity to escape and save his life, but he himself has no possibility of surviving.

Everyone sighed, only Xiao Yu blushed, as if he had suffered endless humiliation...
