Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3896 Reinforces the East Palace
When Li Siwen entered, he saw Li Jing standing in front of the map, and hurried forward two steps: "Commander, the front line of Chengtianmen is under a lot of pressure, the rebel army is huge, and the soldiers can't hold on anymore! That stubborn Cheng Chubi would rather bend than bend, die!" To save face, if you wait for him to ask for help before sending reinforcements, I am afraid you will miss a big deal!"

"Bastard!"

Li Jing reprimanded, and shouted: "I am the commander in chief, how can I allow you to point out?"

Li Siwen looked upset, and didn't dare to say more.

Li Jing's face turned pale, and he tapped the East Palace on the map, saying: "The East Palace and Taiji Palace are separated by a wall, but due to the limited force, the defense is insufficient. Once the Guanlong army cannot attack Chengtianmen for a long time, it is inevitable. If the target is changed, it may be aimed at the East Palace. In case the East Palace falls, the rebels can launch a fierce attack from the east and south directions to show their superiority in strength to the greatest extent. We are restrained everywhere, and the situation is unimaginable. I order you now Lead [-] soldiers to reinforce the Chongming Sect, don't worry about other things, just nail this commander here! Can it be done?"

"Yes! Commander, don't worry, as long as the last general survives, the rebels will never even step into the East Palace!"

Although he still wanted to go to Chengtianmen for reinforcements, he was afraid that Cheng Chubili would lose the battle and would not retreat and be trapped in the army, but Li Jing's orders could not be stopped, so he held his head high and held his chest high, accepting the general's order.

Li Jing looked solemn, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I know your intentions, and I am afraid that my friend will die under the Chengtian sect... It's not that this commander is ruthless, but that the battle is at a critical juncture. The army will be defeated, and all will be lost. Personal life and death, honor and disgrace, are insignificant in this war. Cheng Chubi's life is like this, your life is like this, and so is my commander's life. If we can use our lives To win this battle, to maintain the integrity of the empire and the integrity of the country, death will be honorable!"

"Here!"

Li Siwen's blood was surging, and he promised loudly.

I am still narrow-minded. This war is related to the inheritance of the empire, and there is a deeper power struggle. The difference between victory and defeat can be described as worlds apart.The generals and school of the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace had already set their positions and stood firmly on the side of the crown prince who represented the Zhengshuo of the empire. They could only win but not lose, even if they exchanged their own lives for victory in this war.

Personal life and death, what is it in righteousness?
Li Jing nodded heavily and said, "Go!"

Li Siwen knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, then got up and strode out of the command post, to the reserve team stationed on the square of Tai Chi Hall, counted two thousand soldiers, and set off immediately.Go east along the Taiji Hall, pass through the Tongxun Gate, enter the East Palace, and immediately arrive at the Chongming Gate.

Before arriving at Chongming Gate, he saw soldiers rushing towards Tongxun Gate. Li Siwen ordered someone to stop him and asked, "How is the battle at Chongming Gate? Where are you going in such a hurry?"

The soldier was sweating profusely, and said in a loud voice: "General Qi, the rebels suddenly stepped up their offensive and dispatched a force of five or six thousand people. They are very fierce. The Chongming Gate is in danger! The last general is about to go to the Taiji Palace to ask for reinforcements." !"

When Li Siwen heard this, he secretly admired him. As expected of a military god, he was able to predict the enemy's plans first, see through the plot of the rebels to attack east and west and divert their main attack direction, and sent himself to reinforce them first.It's a pity that the rebel army is powerful and has almost endless backup, but the Sixth Commander of the East Palace has only a few major generals, one death is less than one, and the continuous half-year fierce battle has almost exhausted the morale of the generals and soldiers. What's wrong with the rebels?

He said to the soldier: "Just go to Tai Chi Palace and report the battle situation of Chongming Gate to the commander in chief. I am the reinforcement sent by the commander. I will rush to fight in Chongming gate first!"

The soldier couldn't help but bid farewell and left.

Li Siwen waved his hand: "The commander-in-chief predicted the enemy's attack first, and it has been calculated that the rebels will turn to attack the Chongming Gate. We have been ordered to reinforce, and the timing is just right! Everyone, follow me to the Chongming Gate, and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious service!"

The two thousand soldiers screamed excitedly. Although the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace is under control everywhere and is in danger, this kind of master's ability to plan for a rainy day has indeed boosted the morale and confidence of the soldiers. Under the leadership of Li Siwen, they rushed to the Chongming Gate.

When they arrived at Chongming Gate, the fighting became more intense.

Li Siwen commanded the soldiers to climb up the city wall, then grabbed a soldier who was running past, and asked, "Where is the guard here?"

Seeing that they were coming for reinforcements, the soldier hurriedly pointed to the gate tower not far away: "The general is directing the defense."

"Take me there."

The soldier brought Li Siwen downstairs to the city gate, and a general was giving orders in a hoarse voice, organizing the soldiers to defeat the rebels who kept climbing up the city.

When Li Siwen came to the front, the first thing he did was to deprive the commander of the general: "I am ordered by the commander-in-chief to come for reinforcements. From now on, I will take over the defense of the Chongming Gate. Do you have any questions?"

As he spoke, he took out the military order from his pocket and threw it over.

The general said to Li Siwen's luggage first, "The last general has seen General Li!"

After receiving the military order, he inspected it carefully, then handed it back with both hands, and let out a long sigh: "There is nothing wrong with the last general!"

Fortunately, the main attack direction of the rebels was on the front line of Chengtianmen, and there was not much pressure here, but just now five or six thousand soldiers joined the siege, which immediately caused a great impact on the defense, and was climbed by the rebels several times. At the top of the city, although they were all repulsed one by one, the casualties of the defenders increased greatly. Facing the tide of rebel offensives, he was helpless as a general, so he could only send someone for help.

Now that the commander-in-chief has sent Li Siwen here, he is naturally willing to hand over the command and enjoy it easily...

Li Siwen nodded, and ordered people to convey the military order for him to take over the command, so as not to be unclear about the power and responsibility at the time of command, and to delay the military aircraft.Then in the face of the fierce offensive of the rebels, he dispatched troops calmly and calmly, leaving 500 of the [-] soldiers he brought with him to be placed under the city as a reserve team, and the rest were placed at the top of the city to resist the rebel attack.

With the addition of this fresh force of more than a thousand people, the morale of the defenders at the top of the city was greatly boosted, and they took a head-on blow to the rebels who were constantly launching offensives.However, the rebels were not afraid of death, and climbed up the ladder one by one towards the top of the city. Someone pushed an archery tower in the distance.

With the horizontal knife in his hand, Li Siwen watched as his own soldiers beheaded a rebel who climbed up to the top of the wall and then kicked him down. Then another rebel jumped up to the top of the wall and knocked a defender to the ground with the horizontal knife in his hand. , Even after being picked up by a few spears, he asked with a frown, "Which army is this, so aggressive?"

Pianjiang wiped the blood and sweat splattered on his face, gasped and said, "It's Yuwen's private soldier from Woye Town!"

Li Siwen suddenly said: "No wonder!"

Every child in Guanzhong has heard of the name of "Woye Town Private Soldiers". They think that they were the most powerful army among the Guanzhong Clan back then, and they have made great contributions to the inheritance of the Guanlong Clan for a hundred years.It's just that Yu Wenhuaji hanged and killed Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangdu, and later supported Yang Hao, the son of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, as emperor, and claimed to be the prime minister, but was defeated by Li Mi. The emperor was defeated and beheaded by Dou Jiande, and there were tens of thousands of "Private Soldiers in Woye Town" out of ten.

However, the Yuwen family has served as the military leader of Woye Town for more than a hundred years, and the entire Woye Town is equivalent to the Yuwen family's private property. Afterwards, they recruited children and filled them into the army. .

After all, it has a tradition of being brave and good at fighting. Even if it suffers heavy losses, it is still a powerful army with first-class combat strength in Datang except for the regular army.

Right now, the "Private Soldiers of Woye Town" are charging bravely without fear of death, and the defenders on the city are struggling to fight against each other. Li Siwen can imagine that this powerful army was repeatedly defeated by the Youtunwei outside Chang'an City. One time almost wiped out its entire army, and even the commander was captured, which shows how powerful the Youtunwei's combat power is.

This also aroused Li Siwen's competitiveness.

Back then, the dandies who lived with the hawks and walked the dogs together, and acted recklessly, now that Fang Jun has trained into a powerful army like Youtunwei and the Navy, and has made countless military exploits, how can he be willing to stay behind?Although the brotherhood has not changed, if the shoulders are not aligned and the status gap is too large, this friendship will gradually fade, and no matter what, we have to work hard to catch up.

However, not long after his lofty aspirations rose, the ferocious offensive of the rebels made him burnt out. He continued to command the defenders to support each other and move back and forth, repelling more and more rebels who climbed to the top of the city.As time passed, the rain continued and the sky gradually became brighter. Instead of stopping the rebels' fearless charge, it intensified.
