Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3733 The battle of defending the city
Li Chengqian understood Li Jing's meaning, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Duke Wei, I know the severity."

He is indeed a person with no opinions. He has a soft personality and is easy to listen to people's words, but it does not mean that he is a fool. At this time, the people he should trust most are Li Jing and Fang Jun. Since Li Jing is determined not to rescue the outside of the city, Fang Jun will They didn't ask for help at all, so naturally the opinions of these two people are the main ones, and the words of others can only provide reference.

Of course, if Li Jing disagrees with Fang Jun, His Royal Highness will be scratching his head...

Li Jing heaved a sigh of relief, stood aside, and kept silent.

He has confidence in the combat power of Youtunwei. Although most of Yuwenlong's soldiers are "Woye Town" soldiers, they are brave and good at fighting, but that was 20 years ago. Today's "Woye Town" soldiers are lax in training and disciplined. The wealthy thugs are good at bullying and benevolent in the countryside, but when they actually go to the battlefield, they don't have much chance of winning against a mighty army like You Tunwei.

Of course, risks still exist, and there is no such thing as absolute victory on the battlefield.

In particular, the Gao Kan Department must always pay attention to the battle situation on the side of the Dahe Gate. Once the Dahe Gate falls, the entire Daming Palace and even the Longshouyuan will fall, and the geographical advantage will be captured by the rebels. Facing the disadvantage of the rebels condescending and swooping down.Therefore, once the Yamato Gate falls, Gao Kan must leave the battlefield and quickly return to the Xuanwu Gate so that Fang Jun can transfer the battalion troops to Daming Palace.

Compared with the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, Gao Kan is subject to too many restrictions, and it is impossible to go all out for a battle.

Even if the Gao Kan tribe can win, it must be decided quickly. If the Yuwenlong tribe cannot be wiped out or defeated in a short while, the battle situation will fall into anxiety, and the victory or defeat will depend on the battle situation at the Yamato Gate...

The situation of Youtunwei is really too difficult.

However, as the saying goes, "the greater the risk, the higher the benefit", as long as they survive this round of fierce offensive by the rebels, even if they do not suffer heavy losses, the situation will be completely reversed, and the Eastern Palace, which is on the verge of destruction, will usher in a real turning point.

*****
Daming Palace, Yamato Gate in East Neiyuan.

This place is located in the southeast corner of the Daming Palace, with the East Inner Garden to the south, and the Forbidden Garden to the east and north. The lush forest stretches endlessly until the rolling Wei River in the north.There are several military camps built under the Yamato Gate, and there are caves for hiding soldiers under the city wall. It was designed as the focus of defense on the east side of the entire Daming Palace. Therefore, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Countless torches gathered from the city to form a "fire flow", from far to near, almost filling the tens of miles of forbidden gardens under the city that had been cut down for the construction of the Daming Palace. Waiting for the siege equipment to rush in, the sound of shouting and killing is overwhelming.

Wang Fangyi stood on the top of the city tower with his armor on. He held the parapet wall and looked down the city. Seeing the densely packed rebels coming in like a tide, instead of showing much timidity, he licked his lips excitedly, and his eyes sparkled.

Liu Shenli beside him also looked down, with uncontrollable worry on his face, and sighed softly: "There are too many enemies..."

Right now, there are only [-] infantry, [-] musketeers, and [-] armored cavalry in the city waiting for battle in the entire Yamato Gate defenders.In terms of combat power, these are the elite of the Right Tunwei. It is definitely not a joke to count one as ten, but the enemy army in front of them is not only ten times that of the defenders?
"Hey!"

Wang Fangyi retracted from the female wall, stood up straight, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said loudly: "What's the matter with so many enemies? A man has made great achievements, and he should be the leader of a general among thousands of enemy troops. Miracles are created in the middle! If every battle is passed flatly, where can there be unworldly feats, where can the wife and son be sealed and shine in history?"

When he shouted, the soldiers on the left and right were stunned for a moment, and then they were all aroused by him and became excited.

This is true, the enemy is endless, and it is almost impossible to defend the Yamato Gate.But things in the world are like this, if everything is simple and easy, how can you stand out and leave others behind you?

Not to mention others, the reason why his own commander-in-chief Fang Jun has the status he has today is because he wins more with less, and wins with desperate situations time after time. At the age of more than ten years old, he stands as a military leader, and is favored and valued by His Majesty and Prince.

With so many enemies in front of us about to launch a siege battle, it is indeed a narrow escape for the defenders, but as long as they overcome this hurdle and successfully defend the Yamato Gate, all of them will achieve incredible feats, ranks, official positions, and rewards ... One battle can lay the foundation for future generations to have no worries for three generations.

How many opportunities does a person have in this life to get rid of the status of a commoner and jump up the social class?

It's worth the effort!

Wang Fangyi glanced around, saw that the morale was good, he calmed down a bit, and said loudly: "This battle has a lot to do with it. Everyone must know what victory or defeat means, so I don't need to go into details here. Just say the same thing, we are right guards. Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, he fought across the world, swept away powerful armies from all walks of life, and destroyed countless countries. His meritorious service is enough to shine in history! If you lose here today, the Dahemen will fall, and the commander-in-chief and countless guards on the right will sacrifice their lives and blood The supreme feats earned will be tainted, and all the honors will go to waste! I just ask, are you willing?!"

"Not reconciled!"

"Not reconciled!"

"It's just a mob. No matter how many people there are, how can they be our opponents?"

"That's right, we destroyed Xue Yantuo and defeated Tuyuhun. Even the 20 cannibal army is nothing more than chickens and dogs under our sword, and they can only run for their lives with their tails between their legs! What a mere rebel army! ?”

"Where the city is and the people are, the city is lost and the people are dead!"

……

Under Wang Fangyi's instigation, the morale of the defenders at the top of the city skyrocketed. Instead of feeling timid and retreating because the enemy was dozens of times larger than themselves, they fought fiercely. Build a road for yourself to reach the sky, and from then on, you will leap into the dragon's gate and seal your wife and son!

If you want to get fame and fame immediately, why not die? !

……

woohoo-

The desolate sound of the horn echoed in the vast forbidden garden. It was the horn of attack. Countless rebels quickened their pace and rushed towards the city wall near the Yamato Gate.

"Boom!"

On the city wall, the defenders bent their bows and set up their arrows as soon as the rebels came into range, and finished shooting. After that, they quickly took out the arrows, put on the bowstrings, and did not aim. The clusters of arrows pointed obliquely at the dark sky. Finger, the arrow flew out of the string, drew a high parabola in the air, and plunged into the charging rebel formation.

"Puff puff"

A series of arrow clusters pierced through the leather armor softly, and many soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and were immediately trampled into meat paste by Pao Ze who was charging behind him before he had time to stop...

Round after round of arrows fell from the sky, and the defenders at the top of the city shot desperately, trying to shoot a few more rounds before the enemy arrived at the city, killing more enemies.The sharp arrow clusters easily pierced through the soldiers' bodies, causing great casualties, and at the same time making the well-organized formation gradually disintegrated.

When the rebels braved the arrow rain and rushed to within twenty feet of the city, the arrow rain stopped for a while, replaced by "bang bang bang" gunshots from the top of the city, and countless bullets poured from the city Then, more than a hundred people were killed in an instant, and the momentum of the charge was frustrated again.

In fact, within such a distance, the lethality of muskets is comparable to that of bows and arrows, but for ordinary soldiers, because they are used to seeing bows and crossbows, they have nothing to fear, and new things such as muskets do not have much knowledge , listening to the continuous explosion and the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, but I was terrified in my heart.In particular, as long as the crossbow is not shot at a vital point, there is still one life that can survive, but once it is hit by a musket, even the arms and limbs will have fire poison spreading to the internal organs, and the medicine stone is useless, and the gods are hard to save...

However, regardless of the crossbow or musket, due to the limited number of defenders, the lethality is not great. The rebels left a corpse under the hail of guns and arrows, and finally rushed to the city.

Before he had time to catch his breath, he encountered blows worse than those from crossbows and muskets.

Countless thunderbolts were thrown from the top of the city and fell into the ranks of the rebels...

Boom boom boom!
The huge sound was deafening. Although the power of the black powder was not enough to cause a strong shock wave, the prefabricated lines on the projectile made it burst into countless small shrapnel, which were pushed by the kinetic energy of the gunpowder to fly unscrupulously in all directions, easily They pierced through human bodies and horses, and splashed blood from stumps, which was horrible.
