Chapter 396: the city wall is broken
Chapter 396 The city wall is broken
According to Xie's formation of troops, the general in charge of defending the city of Dazhou arranged the imperial guards in the city with emphasis on the four walls and various gates.
Although there are people everywhere on the city wall, the most people have always been the small sections of the city wall closest to the city gate.
On the hollow city wall that Li Jing and the others found to be problematic, there were only a few Dazhou soldiers on it who were always paying attention to every move of Xie Jiajun.
When they saw Xie Jiajun pushing the siege vehicle straight towards this section of the city wall, they thought that this group of people was planning to pretend to attack the east gate and actually attack the north gate.
After all, no normal person would have thought that someone would use a siege engine to attack the ridiculously thick and hopelessly strong city walls of the capital.
Didn't even know how many moths existed in their own camp. The poor soldiers of the imperial guards who gave Xie's army a **** assist sent a message to the north gate at the first time.
Then, they saw that the Xie family soldiers who they had guessed would go to the north gate suddenly gathered their strength and pushed the siege vehicle to hit the city wall under their feet again and again.
The first thought that flashed through the minds of those Imperial Guard officers and soldiers was that there might be something wrong with these guys, right?
Thinking about this, they subconsciously poked their heads out of the city wall, intending to see the expressions of these idiots who hit the rock with eggs.
To their surprise, Xie Jiajun actually looked elated.
They were wondering, but their eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the gravel, sand, and straw at Xie Jiajun's feet.
The Ban Xie who was guarding that section of the city wall was dumbfounded, so what happened?
We can still understand the gravel, after all, it is built with small pieces of bluestone under the city wall.
But why, our city walls that were supposed to be entirely made of bluestone, are leaking sand and straw outside?
Who the **** would use sand and straw to build the walls of the capital? It's not the old peasants in the countryside who used mud bricks when they built their houses. Those **** are actually filled directly with sand and straw, how dare we dare to be more foolish?
Those thoughts just flashed out of the minds of the Jin Xie soldiers for a moment, and soon we had the leisure to curse and pursue.
Because, Tu Songxiao hadn't relied on his foresight to dig out a very small hole under that section of the city wall.
The outside of the city wall is like the city gate, and there are soldiers of the Xie family guarding the city wall at all times.
In order to be able to block that hole in time, we must rush to pass the news to General Xiao Zhou who is in charge of defending the city after the Xie family army has flooded back from the capital like a tide.
The forbidden Xie family under the city wall was slow to understand the urgency of the matter. The two of us stepped forward almost as soon as Xie's army moved away the siege vehicle. I whispered, "The city wall is broken!" , while rushing towards the position where his general was.
However, Tu Songxiao on the city wall rushed back to the hole under the city wall against the few arrows shot by our companions against the clock.
The gate of the city was opened, and there was another hole under the city wall that the soldiers of Xiao Zhou didn't expect.
The generals defending the city were the same as the soldiers of the Forbidden Xie family who discovered the breach of the city wall at the first time. Although they hadn't scolded these corrupt officials who are human beings, they still had to bite the bullet and go ahead. Deal with the back of the eye.
It's a pity that we haven't missed the opportunity yet, and the opponent is a well-known guard with weak soldiers and strong horses. We have no hope of turning the situation around.
The generals defending the city are well aware of this, but what is my duty, I can continue to lead my troops to fight fiercely with the guards.
However, at the moment when I was trying in vain to prevent Xie Jiajun from retreating from the city, the west gate of the capital was quietly opened.
The one who opened the city gate was a dark thread planted by a certain royal family member of Xiao Zhou early on. Our mission is not to help these royal family members of Xiao Zhou escape from the capital at a critical moment.
The generals defending the city, who knew about this, were still desperately bringing their men with them. On the contrary, the Taiqian Party, who had also planned to escape, dismounted at this time and prepared their chariots, horses and bags.
Those people searched a lot for people's fat and people's anointing in those years. Although we haven't been as heavy and simple as possible because we are fleeing for our lives, the things we have to bring are still several times less than those of the royal family.
Fortunately, we walked through the west gate instead of the south gate, but these clan children who crowded at the west gate to fight for the priority to leave the city might want to collectively turn themselves into puffer fish.
"General!" Xiao Zhou banned the Xie family to fight the Xie family army who had entered the city. The lieutenant general who was sent to the palace by the general defending the city to ask the emperor to send more troops beat the horse at an extremely slow speed that was beyond the opponent's expectations. Come here.
I passed by these soldiers who were running around to deliver orders, and then Xiao Bu Meteor rushed directly behind my general.
"General, there is no chaos outside the palace. The Queen Mother and His Majesty have all been seen, and the Jin Xie who guards the palace are also seen."
The general defending the city thumped in his heart, "Who did he say he met?"
"The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty." The lieutenant general can understand the mood of his general, because after a long time, my general and I are also in the same mood.
My face was gray and anxious, "General, what are you going to do next? Shall we still fight that battle?"
The well-fed soldiers were holding weapons that should not have been replaced long ago, and were fighting to the death with the better-equipped and weaker Xie Jiajun. If the news spread, the blow to morale would not be devastating.
But we can always hide the news, so we just watch our soldiers die, right?
The lieutenant general was afraid that the generals defending the city would misunderstand that Taiqian and the emperor were captured by the guards or someone else, so I added with a blank face: "Are there any traces of fighting outside the palace, and are there any corpses and bloodstains? I asked a few court men and eunuchs who looked familiar, and we all said that the Empress Dowager and His Majesty left by themselves."
The palace men and eunuchs who were left behind were all in panic at this time, and the eight gods had masters. Seeing the lieutenant general in armor, we seemed to have found the first backbone.
Xiaojiayu spoke coherently about what he knew, and then begged the lieutenant general to save us and protect us.
At that time, the deputy general couldn't care less about those eunuchs who were temporarily in danger of their lives. I asked us to find a place to hide ourselves.
I have to tell my general the news as quickly as possible, so that my general can decide whether we should flee or surrender.
