Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4420 The bloody battle begins

Facing the tide of rebel offensives, the defenders retreated steadily, finally making Wudemen face the rebel front, and the rebels fought more and more bravely under the command of Yu Chigong, who not only hit the city gate with giant trees, but also The entire defense line was in jeopardy due to the violent attack within hundreds of feet on both sides of the city gate regardless of the cost.

Gao Kan entered the duty room angrily, shook his body from the rain, and said anxiously: "Marshal, the rebels' offensive is too fierce, and they can't resist it!"

Once the Wude Gate is knocked open, the rebels have found a breakthrough in the entire defense line, and they are bound to attack on a large scale.If you want to stop the rebels, you can only mobilize soldiers and horses to concentrate on Wudemen to deal with it with all your strength, but this will make the defenses elsewhere empty, and the rebels will break through if you are not careful.

This battle has been fought until now, and it is impossible to rely on defense to hold the Hall of Wude...

Fang Jun wiped the horizontal knife with a piece of handkerchief in his spare time: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, why worry about it? Let the reserve team better prepare, when the palace gate falls, we will fight out together."

While talking in his mouth, he wiped the horizontal knife repeatedly several times, then put the knife back into the sheath, tied it tightly to the armor around his waist with a silk ribbon, and took a horse lance in his hand and weighed it...

Gao Kan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The general obeys orders, but let the general lead the reserve team's charge later, and you, the commander, sit here to dispatch and command."

It seems that Fang Jun plans to go into battle in person, which makes him feel uneasy and a little ashamed. Fang Jun has always spared no effort to cultivate him, from a personal soldier to one of the de facto sixteen generals. What kind of kindness is this?In the end, when it was time to risk his life, Fang Jun was asked to take the risk himself...

Fang Jun put Ma Qian aside, took a sip from his teacup, and said with a calm smile: "Don't argue with me, you can't grasp the task of leading the reserve team to charge into battle."

When on the brink of desperation, turning defeat into victory requires not only disregarding life and death, but also maximizing the morale of the army. This army was formed by him alone, and he led the northern expedition to conquer the world. obedience.

As long as he charges at the forefront, everyone will follow him closely, and this is the key to victory.

What's more, at this point, there is not much room for command except for a last-ditch fight. As long as the enemy's formation can be overwhelmed and the morale of the enemy army can be destroyed, they will definitely be able to persist until Li Jing and Xue Wanche enter the city.

Gao Kan looked confused. He wanted to replace Fang Jun in the battle, but he also understood that Fang Jun's words were very reasonable. In the end, he sighed and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Commander, the general will live and die with Wude Palace in the end. People are in the palace." !"

What else is there to say?As the commander-in-chief of an army, he can still go into battle and take the lead. Naturally, the soldiers under his command cannot let the efforts of the commander-in-chief go to waste.

Fang Jun got up, took off the pockets hanging on the wall and put them under his armpits, took two steps forward and patted Gao Kan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It may not be possible to reach that step, the main thing is that this commander can defeat Yu Chigong's middle school." The army, the rebel army is bound to collapse, and Cui Xin's Shandong private army may not be able to stop Liu Rengui. Maybe we can destroy the rebel army without Wei Gong and Xue Wanche entering the city for reinforcements. This is an eternal and immortal feat, not only you The title of General of the Sixteenth Guards cannot be lost, maybe all the middle and upper-level officers of the Right Tunwei can fight for a title! Now, this commander will go out and take you to fight for a brilliant history and a beautiful wife!"

After saying that, he went to the door and kicked it open, looking at the heavy rain outside, he firmly put the pocket on his head.

Gao Kan's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he quickly took Ma Li and handed it to Fang Jun, then knelt down on one knee and shouted hoarsely: "The last general is here, waiting for the commander to return!"

Many scribes, Sima in the duty room, and the guards outside the door all knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "Waiting for the triumphant return of the Commander!"

The roaring sound pierced through the wind and rain and echoed in Wudemen. The soldiers of various arms gathered here were stunned at first, and then there was a crowd of people like the wind blowing wheat waves. They all knew that as a reserve team, they would be the last defensive gate. Even when they dispatched, it might not be to defeat the enemy, but it was most likely just to buy time for His Majesty and ministers in the Hall of Wude to retreat.

But at this moment, knowing that Fang Jun would be leading them in the battle, he suddenly felt his blood rushing. Even in the cold wind and rain, his whole body was still hot and his eyes were red.

In Youtunwei, Fang Jun is the totem representing victory. Since the day when the army became an army, Youtunwei has conquered the north and the west, and has conquered everything. Playing out means that victory will be within easy reach.

Even now that it is on the verge of extinction and the rebel army is overwhelming the city, everyone has the idea of ​​victory in their hearts!
Fang Jun stepped on his horse, holding a lance in his hand, and walked slowly to the front of the formation surrounded by his own soldiers. As far as he could see, three thousand iron cavalry and heavy armored infantry were waiting in the heavy rain, motionless. Fiery worship and obedience burst into their eyes.

The war horse under his crotch felt a strong murderous aura and stood on the spot pawing its hooves. Fang Jun held the rein with one hand and said loudly: "Outside the door, the rebel army is raging and poisoning Emperor Que. As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, we should protect the How can one turn a blind eye to the country, to be loyal to the emperor and to serve the country?"

Thousands of people raised their weapons and raised their arms and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill!"

Fang Jun raised his horse, his voice stopped, and the audience was silent: "This commander was ordered by His Majesty, and at this critical moment, I will lead you out to fight bloody battles to help Zhengshuo. You should sacrifice your life and strive to be the first, and fight for a history. Hang down your name and confine your wife and son!"

The eyes of the three thousand soldiers became more and more intense, and they shouted: "Kill, kill, kill!"

Since the founding of the country, the Tang Dynasty has followed the example of the Great Qin Dynasty and implemented the military merit system. Only military merit can be promoted, only military merit can be exempted from taxes, and only military merit can be granted land.Under such an incentive system, the soldiers of the entire army are naturally extremely enthusiastic about meritorious service. Military merit is not only a tool for promotion and wealth, but also a way to change classes.

Now Fang Jun, who is brave and invincible in the three armies, takes the lead and leads them out to fight the rebellion in person. All of them are full of confidence and morale is soaring.

Fang Jun saw that the military spirit was available, and Ma Qianping pointed at the palace gate with his hand held high: "Open the door! Kill the enemy!"

Three thousand soldiers roared in unison: "Kill the enemy!"

Huge sound waves soared into the sky, covering all directions, and even the rain in the air was stirred by the turbulent sound waves, so it scattered and splashed in the air.

Murderous aura straight to the sky!

*****
Outside the Wude Gate, Yuchi Gong put on his helmet and put on his armor and rode his horse in front of the palace gate. It was only an arrow away from the city tower, and many arrows shot from the top of the city exhausted and fell to the ground not far in front of him. , the heavy rain washed the feathers of the arrow clusters and trembled slightly.

The sound of killing was loud all around, and the rebel army, under the personal supervision of Yu Chigong, was full of fighting spirit, launching a fierce offensive like a tide.

Dozens of death squads carrying giant logs against the palace gate have already died, and there are only five or six teams left. However, under the spur of the supervising team, they dare not retreat. The heavy palace door covered with iron sheet and riveted with copper nails was knocked into a creaking sound, the iron peeled off in many places, the boards were broken, and the cracks in the door were knocked back and forth. will break.

Yu Chigong raised his head and squinted at the fierce battle on the top of the city, knowing that it would not be possible to reach the top of the city and capture the palace gate in a short while, but the opportunity of the battle cannot be delayed, so he waved his hand and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "You guys! Go up, carry a huge log and hit the city gate! As long as you break through the city gate, you will be rewarded with a thousand coins and promoted to three ranks!"

"Here!"

Hearing such a heavy reward, the soldiers' eyes turned red, they jumped off their horses one after another, tidied up their armors, and asked for shields from the pawns behind them, raised them to protect their heads and faces, and rushed forward with the arrows above their heads. When they reached the gate, each team of ten people lifted up the giant wood discarded on the ground, and slammed it towards the palace gate with all their might.

boom!boom!
Under the huge impact, sawdust flew across the palace gate, crumbling.

Finally, under the persevering impact, there was a "click" sound, and the three latches behind the door were all smashed, and the huge palace door suddenly opened to both sides...

Yu Chigong could see clearly from the front of the palace gate, his heart was overjoyed immediately, he stretched out his arms and pointed at the open palace gate, hissing loudly: "The palace gate is broken, rush in! rush in!"

Behind him, the war drum sounded like thunder, and the rebels near the palace gate rushed towards the palace gate like a tide. The defenders had no time to stop them, and more and more rebels poured in from the palace gate.

Knowing that victory or defeat is at this moment, Yu Chigong hastily ordered the captain beside him: "Pass the order down, and everyone shouts 'The palace gate is broken'!"

The lieutenant immediately carried out the order, and immediately the order was conveyed. More and more rebels began to charge while shouting "the city gate is broken", hoping to kill the last morale of the defenders. , this victory is also in the bag.

However, contrary to Yuchigong's expectations, although the Wude Gate was breached, and more and more troops rushed towards the gate like a tidal wave, the defenders above and below the city did not suffer from the fall of their struggling defense. Frustrated, they still performed their duties and defended the various fronts in an orderly manner.

Yu Chigong was rich in experience, seeing this scene inevitably sank in his heart, he knew that the defenders had already prepared and made a plan, even if a certain line of defense was breached, they would not lose their morale and collapse without a fight.

He quickly ordered the left and right: "Set up your formation, don't make commotion, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

He knew that Fang Jun's reserve team was coming.

……

Fang Jun rushed towards Wudemen with three thousand elites. Before reaching the gate, he heard the bang of the palace gate had been breached, and the rebels rushed into the gate. , Straight forward, the horse lance in the palm is like a poisonous dragon coming out of its hole, picking up a rebel captain, the horse's castration continues, and directly hits the three rebels until they vomit blood and flies out, and then swings the horse lance to kill the door opening , followed by three thousand elites.
