Invincible son

May 21, just before dawn, the darkest hour of the day.

The sky and the earth are completely silent, even though the Taimiao rebellion the day before yesterday and the subsequent siege of the Beijing army made the young and old in the capital uneasy, at this time most of them are in a state of deep sleep, except for the garrison soldiers on the city wall.

More than [-] troops from the two battalions of the Beijing Army surrounded the city on all sides, and the soldiers from the North Battalion were never seen. In such a situation, even if Xiao Jin was not around, the defenders everywhere did not dare to relax.Originally thought that yesterday would usher in a tragic battle, but the Beijing army outside the city has been standing still, as if it was true what those envoys said, Wang Pingzhang would give everyone in the city enough time to think for three days.

Naturally, Xiao Jin would not naively believe this kind of nonsense. After night fell, she climbed up the city wall and checked the city defense repeatedly to make up for the omissions.

He is well aware of Wang Pingzhang's scheming and methods, so he not only made a complete arrangement for the enemies outside the city, but also prevented and responded to possible turmoil in the city.

In Xiao Jin's view, the reason why Wang Pingzhang made the promise not to use weapons for three days was to paralyze the guards on the one hand, and on the other hand to wait for the inner and outer forces of the capital to mobilize.

After discussing with Gu Liang and Shen Moyun, and after obtaining the consent of the Prince Jian Guo, a restricted area with a width of nearly one mile was delineated along the four city walls in the capital, and a line of defense was also erected inside. shoot to kill.In this way, even if Wang Pingzhang's meticulous work in the city stirs up the wind and rain, it will not affect the stability of the city defense.

The guarding of the nine gates of Kyoto is the most important thing. Xiao Jin issued a series of military orders, so that the defenders of each gate are composed of several teams of soldiers that are not related to each other. Cross-surveillance by officials of the Five Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief.

Even if some people are Wang Pingzhang's confidantes, it is impossible for him to open the city gate quietly.

Although the composition of the defenders at the city gate is complicated, there will be no situation in which multiple parties will lead to chaos, because Xiao Jin has given everyone a death order, and the city gate cannot be opened at any time, and no one else is allowed to approach.

For Xiao Jin, who has guarded Hucheng for ten years and has never made any mistakes, these arrangements are just a small test, and one day is enough to complete all the assignments.

But he was not complacent, because the war had not yet started, and even small-scale temptations and frictions had not occurred.Wang Pingzhang's means should not be underestimated. The history of the past few decades has already proved that anyone who underestimates him will end in dismal.

Walking on the south wall where the torches were brightly lit, all the generals and soldiers saluted and greeted Xiao Jin reverently along the way, and the soldiers behind him involuntarily raised their chests.

When they came to the bottom of the city tower, Mao Xiang, the commander of the garrison division Nancheng, greeted him and saluted: "See Lord Hou."

Xiao Jin looked around, nodded slightly and said, "There's no need to be too polite."

Mao Xiang straightened up and was about to report on the situation in Nancheng when his expression changed drastically.

Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes and looked at the south, only to see a large number of torches appearing in the distance, followed by an elite army rushing in.

At the second quarter of Yin time, about an hour before dawn, the two battalions of the Beijing Army, who had been recharging their energy for a long time, launched an offensive in the misty night without any warning!

……

From point to point, the shouting and killing gradually converged into a raging and roaring wave, easily tearing apart the dark sky before dawn, like a casual scolding from a fairy above the nine heavens, falling into the world is the thunder that resounds through the world.

Countless people woke up from their deep sleep, shivering under the covers.After two full days of gestation and fermentation, even those who were late realized that this time was different from the bloody night 17 years ago, but an outright rebellion.

Once the city is broken, the capital will definitely become a hell on earth with corpses everywhere.

Regardless of the besieging Beijing army or the soldiers defending the city, when they kill red eyes, street fighting will become a nightmare for ordinary people.

For the vast majority of people, they can only listen to the noise outside, and then pray to God devoutly, hoping that the situation will not develop in the worst direction.

However, the garrison soldiers on the city wall did not have extra time to think about these problems, and the siege battle had already been extremely tragic just after the outbreak of the siege.

Wang Pingzhang adopted the strategy of attacking three and one lacking one. The west battalion of the Beijing army mainly attacked the west city, the south battalion mainly attacked the south city, and at the same time selected elites from the two battalions to attack the east city.

This is the first time in 19 years that he personally took command of the battle again.

Famous generals in the world all have their own styles. If Xiao Jin is the strongest city defender in the world and can be called an unbreakable shield, then Wang Pingzhang is an old, tough and extremely sharp spear.Most of the people in Kyoto don't know how fierce he used his troops, and even many officials forgot how tyrannical and domineering this old man was on the battlefield, but the generals and soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty who had experienced the battles of that year would never forget it.

Traveling across thousands of miles, regaining the land of the three states in the south, this is Wang Pingzhang's proud handwriting, even Xian Chunqiu and Fang Xiexiao can't stop him.

Sleepless in Kyoto tonight.

In less than half an hour, there were several dangerous situations in Dongcheng. Fortunately, Xiao Jin was decisive and calm, and mobilized the reserve soldiers three times to block the gap, forcing the Beijing army back.When the news came that Gu Liang had climbed the east wall, Xiao Jin's slightly frowning brows relaxed.

At the same time, as if responding to the offensive of the rebels, fires were lit in many places in Zhongnan City and Xicheng, but soon people from Taishitai Pavilion and Luanyiwei appeared, and small-scale fights took place in the night Expand.

Xiao Jin turned a blind eye to this, and put all her energy on defending the city, never giving the opponent a good chance from the beginning to the end.

The situation gradually turned into a stalemate.

……

Xicheng, Commander Peicheng stood behind the wall, facing the almost crazy offensive of Xidaying, he took the lead and fought extremely bravely, like an indestructible needle that can stabilize the sea.

After hacking to death a rebel soldier who leaped to the top of the wall, Pei Cheng braved the cold arrows that might be shot at any time, and pressed down on the wall with one hand to look down. Although he didn't see it very clearly, his His brows furrowed quickly.

The rebels below used wooden mantles and Lügong chariots to cover them, and made trench bridges with long logs and planks. This is a necessary procedure for siege, and there is nothing surprising about it.However, behind the wooden curtain is not a battering ram, but a large number of heavily armored infantry with long knives and big shields!
The question is how can these heavily armored infantry enter the city if there is no battering ram to break the city gate?
At this moment, Pei Cheng's thoughts turned, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately shouted sharply: "Yin Dao, Gu Zong!"

The two responded loudly: "Yes!"

"Each of you brings a hundred people, go to the city gate and watch immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

"Follow the order!"

Although the two of them didn't understand why Pei Cheng suddenly issued this order, they acted extremely quickly, because after so many years of sharing weal and woe and tempered by the battlefield, they trusted Pei Cheng's judgment from the bottom of their hearts.

At the same time when Yin Dao and Gu Zong led the core elites to run down the city wall, behind the storeroom, which was only a few tens of feet away from the west gate and stored military supplies and grass, the ground covered by green grass seemed to suddenly sag, and three squares about three feet wide appeared. of the hole.

One after another, vigorous and vigorous figures jumped out of the hole.

They are like souls of the dead in the dark night, with a palpitating death aura all over their bodies, rushing furiously in the night, rushing over a distance of tens of feet like lightning.

In an instant, the blade had arrived.
