The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 996 Fireworks as the number, the whole army attacks

At the middle of the night, Yang Tong was sleeping with his arms around Yinmingyue, Yang Qinfang rushed in without avoiding suspicion, and shouted playfully, "My lord, fire, big fire."

"What, what fire? The camp is on fire?" Yang Tong was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out, and Yin Mingyue next to him also had phoenix eyes, and sat up almost at the same time as Yang Tong.

"It's not the big camp, it's the flames and the sound of killing in the city of Chengdu." Yang Qinfang corrected, she saw that the two were neatly dressed, and there was a little regret on her face.

"Then you are in a hurry." Yang Tong fell down again with a bang, and when he was about to continue sleeping, he suddenly jumped up again and asked, "What did you say?"

"The flames in the city are soaring, and the sound of killing is loud." Yang Qinfang smiled.

"I have to go out and have a look." Yang Tong picked up a coat and put it on, Yin Mingyue and Yang Qinfang stepped forward to help, tied his hair up and tied it with a purple gold crown.

After a while, the well-dressed Yang Tong walked out of the back tent, and saw that the direction of Chengdu City in the north was indeed full of flames.

When he boarded the watchtower and looked through the binoculars, he found that the place where the fire was on Zhuque Street between the imperial city and the private houses. That area was also where the Long Live Army was stationed. At this time, the fire burned rapidly, and the red flames of the tents flew up, forming a fire circle several miles long, and spreading to the left and right sides at a speed visible to the naked eye. The raging flames were blown towards the palace wall by the night wind. The city towers, Duolou, Quelou, and corridors also burned, and the entire palace wall seemed to be engulfed by the fire.In the raging fire on the side street, some soldiers trampled each other and rushed for their lives.

"Isn't this too fast?" Yang Tong said to himself in surprise, "How long did it take for the leaflets to be spread? It's less than three hours?"

"Normal!" Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing also boarded the watchtower. Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "Since our army entered the Chengdu Plain, the puppet Tang soldiers feared the Sui Dynasty like a tiger, and then there was a food shortage. Riots, celestial changes, etc., the soldiers of the puppet Tang Dynasty have lost their morale and are unwilling to fight anymore. Although Li Shimin wanted to compete with our Great Sui Dynasty to the end, the soldiers were generally war-weary, and our army's meticulous efforts to fuel the flames led to this result. "

"Your Majesty, what Xuanling said is very true." Ling Jing pointed to a large Sui flag waving in the wind in the city, and said: "The soldiers in the city have already set up flags to signal, and the Holy Majesty should dispatch troops quickly. If Li Shimin calms down, Not only are the soldiers in the city dangerous, but this battle is also difficult to fight."

"Yes, Your Majesty! This opportunity must never be lost, and it will never come again." Du Ruhui also agreed to send troops.

Yang Tong nodded slightly, and saw that the crowd gathered under the watchtower in full armor, so he said to Luo Shixin, "Luo Shixin, you and Mai Zhongcai brought [-] soldiers from the first army called Kaimingdemen to kill them along the long street of Zhuquemen. To the imperial city. Let the soldiers bring [-] honeycomb crossbows, and if they are stopped by the Tang army, no matter who they are, they will all be shot into honeycombs."

"The last will obey."

"Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanbei, you two will lead [-] soldiers of the First Army from Anhuamen Long Street to the imperial city, and you will also bring [-] cellular crossbows."

"The last will obey."

"Yichi Gong, Fan Qin, you two lead [-] Fifth Army soldiers from Qixiamen Long Street to the imperial city, and at the same time bring [-] beehive crossbows."

"The last will obey!"

"Du Fuwei, when the city gate opens, you immediately bring your soldiers to occupy all the key points."

"The last will obey."

"Wang Fubao, Yao Junsu, and Qian Jie, you three will each lead [-] heavy soldiers, bring siege equipment, and prepare to storm the imperial city."

"The last will obey."

After arranging the attacking army at the three gates of the southern city, Yang Tong said to Yin Mingyue who was leading the team under the tower and obeying orders: "Yin Mingyue."

"The end is here."

"Light the fireworks and order Li Jing to divide his troops to attack from Yanxingmen, Chunmingmen, and Tonghuamen in the east city. Order Xue Wanjun to divide his troops to attack from Yanpingmen, Jinguangmen, and Kaiyuanmen in the west city; Gwanghwamun, Sulinmen, Xuanwumen, and Zhidemen in the northern city launched an attack." Since Xinying would not fly at night, the other three armies could only order in a more traditional way.Fortunately, the tasks of the generals have been arranged before, as long as their sentries see the fireworks in the south city, they will launch an attack.

"The general obeys orders." Yin Mingyue responded, and took a group of little girls to the high platform where the orders were given to set off fireworks.

After a while, only a sound of "tom" was heard, and a string of sparks and smoke rushed into the sky.

The fireball was sprayed by gunpowder, and it kept going up until it reached a height of more than ten feet, and then exploded with a "bang", and the light bomb containing alkali bloomed a yellow flower in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, there was another "tom", and a light pill rose into the sky again.

"Bang" beautiful flowers bloom.The previous yellow flower has not fallen and dissipated, but when this green flower is dotted on it, the yellow and green are alternately enchanting.

"Bang bang bang bang..." Fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another, and the dazzling fireworks were like colorful clouds!
At the moment when the second firework exploded, everyone inside and outside the city, regardless of enemy or friend, looked up at the beautiful flower. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be silent.And when the fireworks disappeared into the sky and the earth, the horns of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomatic" resounded across the field

In an instant, the sound of shouting and killing was overwhelming, like thunderclaps on the flat ground, and the sudden momentum and footsteps of hundreds of thousands of troops also made the ground tremble. Under the bonfire, the soldiers were like huge black waves. Sweeping towards Chengdu City.

Since Li Yuan was in charge of the southern city, the soldiers guarding Anhuamen, Mingdemen, and Qidemen were all Sui soldiers. When the fireworks disappeared, the soldiers had already put down the drawbridge and opened the city gates without Li Yuan's order. The three armies headed by Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, and Yu Chigong were welcomed into the city, and the three cavalry rode northward along the three long streets without stopping.

Immediately behind was Du Fuwei's army. After they entered the city, they separated according to the prior arrangement, and marched along the roads to the various lifangs. Siege echelon.

Compared with the three southern armies advancing to victory, Li Jing, Xue Wanjun, and Yang Yichen, Yang Shanhui, Yang Lun, and Pei Renji in Beicheng encountered tenacious resistance, but the soldiers of each army knew that this was a key battle for the unification of the world, and they all showed great more brave than ever before.

Moreover, they did not attack the heavily guarded city gates at all, but launched an attack against the weakly defended city walls. Under the cover of roaring and mighty breaking army crossbows, city breaking crossbows, and honeycomb crossbows, Push the boarding cars one after another outside the moat, and then pull the ropes, so that the high ladders on the boarding cars cross the moat and directly rest on the opposite wall. He wanted to push down the ladder because of the danger, but because the ladder was firmly fixed by the climbing car, manpower could not move it at all.

I could only watch helplessly as groups of Sui army soldiers in bright armor rushed up like walking on the ground. The sparse arrows could not cause substantial damage to the surging siege troops, but were shot by the opponents. The longer and more powerful Liannu scrambled away.In less than a quarter of an hour, the siege troops from all sides have successfully killed the top of the city, and fought with the soldiers of the Tang army on the city wall. After killing all the soldiers, they went to both sides along the gaps one by one. After the soldiers from all directions completely occupied the outer city wall, they seized the inner city wall in a similar way, and the fierce shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

In terms of city defense, Li Shimin adopted a strategy of loosening the outside and tightening the inside. The city defense army is all weak, and the Long Live Army, which Li Shimin relies heavily on, has internal strife again, and the defense of Chengdu is at its most chaotic and weakest. At that time, and the Sui army did not follow the normal routine to attack the city gate, but avoided reality and attacked the city wall. When the army guarding the city gate was ready to support, all sections of the city wall had already been occupied by the Sui army.

The combat power of the Sui Dynasty army is not only reflected in the equipment, but also in the aspect of personal combat power, cooperative combat, combat experience, and fighting will. From the beginning of the fight, the defending Tang army was beaten. An ordinary soldier in the Sui Dynasty showed stronger combat effectiveness than the captains and brigade commanders of the Tang Army, and even worse than some captains.

This is also the evil result of Li's father and son's large-scale cleansing of the army. The massive losses of the low-level generals directly affected the combat effectiveness of the army. What's more, the Tang army lost once every time it trained. There is no army of hundreds of battles, so what? Is it the opponent of the main soldier of the Sui army who has experienced many battles and calculated carefully?

The most important thing is that Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Yu Chigong, and Du Fuwei have already led their troops into the city. The shouts of more than [-] soldiers in the city made the guarding soldiers frightened, fearing that they would be attacked on both sides, and fled one after another.Although the generals at all levels were full of morale, they collapsed after less than half an hour of support.

There were fewer and fewer Tang Army soldiers on the city wall, and more and more Tang Army soldiers either fled or surrendered, and various city gates were opened one after another.

So far, the three strongest defenses of the moat of Chengdu City and the inner and outer cities have completely fallen.

After the various armies seized the city, according to the tasks arranged in advance, they gathered in the direction of Taiji Palace along the North and South Eleven Streets and the East and West Fourteen Streets. Du Fuwei's 109 soldiers, With the help of various forces such as the Black Ice Terrace, he was responsible for clearing out the Thousand Cavalry Army distributed in the [-]th square of the city, killing some rebels and hooligans who took advantage of the chaos in a timely manner, and effectively protecting the lives and property of the people in the city .

"Quickly occupy all the squares, check the streets and alleys one by one, and check the remnants of the soldiers. Whenever you encounter disturbers, you will be decisive regardless of the enemy or yourself!"

Du Fuwei, Kan Leng, and Wang Xiongdan, father and son, commanded various soldiers and horses, and methodically seized important places and gates in the city, and asked the common people to close the doors and not come out.

[To be honest, the last few chapters are really too difficult to write and finish.The written content was deleted over and over again, and then I smoked one cigarette after another in front of the blank document. I always felt that there were still many, many people and things that were not explained clearly, and various clues came one after another. For the ending, I can't even sleep comfortably.Whether there will be one chapter or two next chapters is not yet conceived. 】

I recommend you to listen to three old songs:

Tang Baoru: It’s definitely a dream

Grasshopper: Kiss of Red Lips

Lin Shanshan: Get rid of the body
