Chapter 643 Chapter 661: Night Attack on the Royal Court

It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. At this time, people were sleeping soundly. Although the city walls were densely covered with sentries, there were only a few patrols occasionally on the streets in the city. Other than that, there were no sentries.Why, because Yang Fan is smart. He thinks that Tang Jun released the Kongming lanterns to harass them and make them fearful and afraid to take a good rest.He thought he had seen through Tang Jun's plot, so he asked the soldiers to rest and crush Tang Jun's plot, as long as the city wall was well guarded. In the city, normal night patrols don't have to be too strict. Could it be that Tang Jun can still fly in?
This time he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness. Tang Jun really flew in. How could Li Hao's high technology be beyond Yang Fan's imagination? The ancients were full of fantasies about flying, but they never really realized it However, even though Zhuge Liang had invented Kongming Lanterns long ago, so many years earlier than in the West, no one has studied why Kongming Lanterns can fly, and no one has boldly tried to make Kongming Lanterns so big that they can carry people. Isn't that a hot air balloon?

The sages of our country did have many great discoveries and inventions, but they were all strangled by the feudal ideology. Those geniuses who studied equipment were regarded as heretics. Advocating reading, everything is inferior, but reading is high. They all study the thoughts of the ancients, thinking about inheriting the legacy of their ancestors, but never thinking about innovation. Even gunpowder was created by Taoist priests inadvertently during alchemy. Under such circumstances, how science survives and how technology progresses is the greatest tragedy of ancient China.

There were only 1000 Tang troops who successfully sneaked into the city this time, and nearly 200 people broke their legs, and some were even broken into bones. These wounded people all found a hidden and dark place to hide. The task of seizing the city gate is gone, but they have a new task, which is to hide themselves well and not be discovered.

On the street in front of the north gate of Wang Ting, two groups of patrols have been quietly eliminated. Eight hundred Tang troops gathered here. Xue Yinglong called the captains of each team to him and said in a low voice: "There is an urn at the north gate. Now most of the guard posts are on the top of the city. There are about 3 guards at the gate of the inner city. There should be 3 to [-] soldiers and horses stationed in the urn city, and [-] above the top of the city. Minutes, we must capture the two gates of Wengcheng within [-] minutes."

A captain frowned and said, "3 minutes? So short?"

"Don't worry." Xue Yinglong said, "There is an army of General Manager Fan outside the city to help us. We should cooperate internally and externally, and it should be soon. Later, when we see the general manager setting up a Kongming lantern outside the north gate, it means that General Manager Fan is ready. We Let the arrows sound like a trumpet, launch an attack, first kill the guards guarding the inner gate, send people to guard the inner gate, and others rush to the top of the city to seize the city wall, this is especially important, the inner gate cannot be opened from inside the urn, As long as we take down the city wall, we can shoot and kill the soldiers and horses in the urn city, plus the army of the general manager, the chances of victory are sure."

"Okay, let's do it!" Everyone nodded.

They waited for about half an hour, when hundreds of Kongming lanterns floated in the northern sky, Xue Yinglong excitedly said: "General Manager Fan is ready, let the arrows go!"

Immediately, someone took out a large crossbow, aimed it at the sky, lit the fuse with a match, and then shot the arrow into the sky.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and a big firework exploded over the royal court.

Fan Lihua looked at the fireworks above the royal court, raised her silver spear and pointed it at the royal court, and said heavily: "Siege the city!"

Tang Jun shouted and attacked the royal court one after another.

The huge explosion woke up everyone in the city. Yang Fan was currently inspecting the city wall on the east side of the city. Because the Tang army had been using the main force to attack the east gate, he paid special attention to the east gate.

When he saw the exploding fireworks, his heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted: "The whole army is on alert, the Tang army is preparing to attack at night!"

He did not order to blow the horn, because he was worried that this would be another strategy of the Tang army to disturb the enemy.

"Woo--" The low-pitched horn sounded and spread throughout the city. Yang Fan's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look north. The sound of the horn came from the north city wall.

"Could it be..." Yang Fan suddenly thought of a terrible thing. The Tang army might divert their combat power and attack the north gate at night. Unlike the east gate, the north gate was not blocked.

"Pass my military order! All the troops in the city quickly support the north gate!" Yang Fan said, and had strode towards the north city wall.

Thirty guards guarding the inner gate of the north gate are about to open the gate and let the soldiers and horses in the urn come out so that they can go up the city wall to participate in the battle. If there are 1 defenders on the city wall, it can withstand more than 30 sieges. The army, but just as they were about to open the door, countless feathered arrows hit them like raindrops. With only one wave of arrows, all [-] people fell into a pool of blood.

Xue Yinglong led the crowd and rushed to the inner city gate. The enemy at the top of the city found them, and someone shouted in Western Turkic: "Oops, there are enemies in the city! There are Tang troops in the city!"

So countless feathered arrows came at them, Xue Yinglong hurriedly led everyone to hide under the corridor of the city gate, and then said: "Seventh team, eighth team, you 200 people stay here and guard this gate. Without my permission, you are not allowed to open the door." , unless I die!"

"Yes!"

"Others! Come with me!" Xue Yinglong yelled, and led the crowd to rush towards the top of the city from the stairs on both sides despite the rain of arrows. Zhun Tang Jun outside the city to prevent them from approaching.

In the royal court, there were torches everywhere at the moment, and those torches gathered towards the north city gate. On the north city wall, the horns were blowing more urgently.

The defenders at the top of the city were tired of dealing with the Tang army outside the city. Xue Yinglong and the others naturally had an opportunity to fight when they rushed to the city wall. Due to the innovation of Tang metallurgical technology, the exquisite Tang knife has become the standard weapon of the Tang army. Tang knife Known as the pinnacle of knife casting technology in the history of our country, its forging skills have been lost in the future world. The power of the Tang knife is very terrifying, and the current group of Tang soldiers have undergone strict training. The most important thing is that they are not afraid of death. Fear of death has the ball, if they don't win the royal court, they will all starve to death, and they are afraid of shit.

After the 2000 Tang troops rushed up the city wall, they killed the [-] defenders at the top of the city in a hurry. Fortunately, more than [-] defenders came to support the east and west walls, and they stabilized their positions. Beside the battlements, the huge city-charging vehicle was gradually approaching the city gate.

The countless torches in the city were already very close to the north gate. Everyone in the seventh and eighth teams turned their backs to the city gate, picked up the crossbow, wound the arrow, and aimed it outside.

A team of more than 500 people appeared and rushed towards this side. A salvo of crossbow arrows was fired, and more than 100 people fell to the ground and died immediately. Of the [-] soldiers and horses, if there are [-] more soldiers and horses at this moment, it will be enough to turn the tide of the battle.

How could the members of the seventh and eighth teams let them do what they wished, and fired again, salvoed, fired, salvoed, and shot in four rounds. There were only a hundred of the five hundred Western Turkic soldiers left. They rushed in front of them and fought for a while. Underneath, a large number of torches appeared at the corner of the street, and someone came again, and they all wound up the strings again, ready for battle.

On the top of the city, Xue Yinglong led more than 600 people, only half of them are left now, but they definitely killed more than 200 enemies, and they successfully dragged down the defenders at the top of the city. More than 3 Tang troops have climbed to the top of the city. Yes, this number is still increasing. If the local reinforcements do not come to support, within [-] minutes, the city wall will fall.

"Boom! Boom!" The huge city charging vehicle was hitting the city gate, and every time it hit, the city gate shook. At this moment, the two thousand Western Turkic soldiers and horses in the urn city were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do. No one opened them. For the city gate, they are the turtles in the urn, so they can only be anxious.

A large number of Western Turkic soldiers and horses are gathering at the north city gate. There are 2000 people rushing towards the inner gate. In this way, they still keep shooting, and they can kill one to earn one, and kill two to earn a pair.

At this moment, countless arrows rained from the top of the city, killing hundreds of these people, and the Western Turkic army was blocked. Only then did they find that countless Tang troops were rushing down from the top of the city, there were as many as seven or eight hundred, Half of the city wall has been taken away by the Tang army.

This group of Western Turkic troops roared wildly and rushed towards the Tang army. They must take back the North Gate, otherwise the royal court will be finished.

"Kill!" Tang Jun also roared one after another. Those with bows and arrows shot arrows, and those without bows and arrows rushed to the inner gate to defend the inner gate together. They must hold here. die.

Yang Fan personally rushed to the north wall with 2000 troops, and fought with the Tang army on the top of the city. However, no one stopped the Tang army from ascending the city. Tens of thousands of Tang troops outside the city continued to climb the city wall. There were more and more Tang troops on the city wall. Forced to retreat Yang Fan's army, occupying the entire north city wall, countless archers shot arrows into the urn city, and shot and killed all 2000 people in the urn city.

"Open the door!" Xue Yinglong ran to the city wall and shouted down.

"Roar!" The remaining [-] Tang troops standing guard in front of the city gate roared like beasts. It was a roar of excitement, because they knew that their mission was completed.

More than a dozen people braved the rain of arrows to push the door latch, and the inner door slowly opened. With the light of countless torches, one could see that there were corpses everywhere in the urn city. field.

Yang Fan originally wanted to struggle to the death, but when he saw this situation, he immediately sighed and said without hesitation: "Quickly send an order to all the troops to flee from the west gate with me! The royal court can't hold it anymore."

At this moment, there was chaos in the royal court. Countless people gathered in front of the west city gate, begging the defenders to open the gate, but the defenders refused, because they were not allowed to open the gate without the command of the commander in chief.

A team rushed over, the leader was Ashina Helu, followed by civil and military ministers and his thousands of guards, Ashina Helu shouted from the bottom of the city: "Open the door for Ben Khan!"

"Khan, forgive me!" Yang Xing, the gatekeeper at the top of the city, saluted and replied loudly, "Marshal Yang has ordered, without his consent, the door is not allowed to be opened!"

Ashina Helu was furious when he heard the words: "Bastard! I am Khan! I let you open the door!"

Yang Xing said loudly again: "Forgive me, Khan. Without Marshal Yang's order, you can't open the door, even if Khan comes personally."
