This chapter counts as No. 17

A temporary garrison of the Northern Army was also encountered an unexpected surprise in Shangyang Palace, between the Guest Provincial Courtyard and the Luyin Palace.

Yang Keshi, a general of the Northern Army in the fierce battle, had just pierced an armored soldier, but was pinched by many parties and could not break free for a while. He could only watch the snow-lit knife fan that was slashing towards him, and it cut off many armored pieces and leather linings, and finally left a thin blood-seeking hole.

At the same time, he also stabbed the short sword of his other hand into the other party's stomach, stirred up a lot of hard work, and used the body that had not yet died as a cover, blocking the poking and slashing of the other three enemy soldiers on the left and right.

At this time, the guards following behind him finally came forward, using their hands to block the cards from left to right. Yang Keshi, who was too prominent, recovered and retreated again, and went to his own battle formation.

This sudden encounter came and went quickly. The Southern Army failed to attack and left hundreds of corpses, and soon retreated among the ruins of the palace.

Yang Keshi did not order too much pursuit, but left the police whistle and retreated to the temporary station. Here, there was already a curling smoke, and it was obvious that the food was ready for the battle.

Then an iron helmet filled with hot food was sent straight to Yang Keshi.

Inside are chopped meat strips and jerky, and mixed porridge made of aged beans and wheat, which is so hot and thick that it makes people feel full of energy just by asking about this smell.

These are all Zibo grains sent from the imperial city, including rice, flour, wine, meat, fat, and firewood, which is enough to support their use for more than a month. According to the major warehouses and warehouses in Jiacang City and Yuanbi City, various materials are piled up like mountains and countless.

Although this unexpected news encouraged the morale of the army, compared with the fatigue and difficulties of the troops on all sides, the soldiers who were abandoned by the name of "cutting off the rear" along the way, and the tragic situation of the citizens in the Luo Capital City, it feels a little uncomfortable.

Today, the Xiyuan area on the northwest side of Luodu is centered on Yang Palace, from the Tixiang Gate to the Yuri Tower to Jiuzhou Pavilion, the vast old site developed by the Sixteenth Garden of the Sui Palace has been transformed into at least 60,000 to 70,000 people and chaotic battlegrounds that have been repeatedly fought for and fought.

As one of the main attack directions of the southern line, the imperial city protected by the high walls and thick city, a large number of remaining defenders gathered in a corner of Shangyang Palace are undoubtedly the targets that must be given priority.

Therefore, Zhang Shuye, as the main general, could only rely on the only troops and resources at hand to set up defenses layer by layer according to the ground formation.

Relying on the terrain trend in the West Garden, it is in depth and storm, fighting with the invading enemies at some important points. Therefore, it temporarily intersects with the southern army and the ones that are attacking, forming dozens of large and small battlefields that are connected or influential.

The flowers, plants and trees of a long history have long been trampled and cut down. The once-magnificent palace was pushed down in large numbers during the fierce battle and demolished to become materials for tents.

And under the gate of the Right Yintai in the Imperial City,

For Tan Guochen, the right-forward general of the new army, who was wearing a legitimate commander and supervising battle, it was a certain moment of glory and closest to success.

Even the chaos and missing troops on the eastern front of the North City were not able to have any direct impact on their next strategy and determination.

because,

Compared with the rapid and twists and turns of the Eastern Front soldiers, these middle-road soldiers did not spend too much effort or spirit in the city of Nanguo under the supervision or "inspiration" of the front army from the palace.

Without encountering too many twists and turns, some heavy equipment used to attack the key points were transported across two Tianjin bridges along the Central Axis Street of Nanguo, and quickly put them into suppression and damage to the imperial city attack.

Therefore, the attack on the imperial city was quite neat and without any delay. Just the next day, someone tried to climb the city wall, although he was soon driven down by the defenders.

On the afternoon of that day, the New Army's right front unit concentrated most of the heavy equipment, and finally opened the thick city gate, and then pushed the split city gate to the ground.

Therefore, with the order from the rear, these elite athletes who chose the front and jumped from at least four military orders quickly cleared the obstacles on the ground and other obstacles behind the door, and rushed in in one go.

When they roared with their red eyes and fought with their decisive enemies, they fought one after another, defeated the defenders who rushed to block the enemy, and rushed out of the door and saw the sky again.

However, some kind of smooth touch under my feet deflected the balance and direction. They were either tripping and rolling to the sides in groups, or squeezing and hitting the newly emerging trenches, horse-rejecting horses and other preset obstacles, and then being squeezed and watched as they were pierced on those sharp objects.

Only then did someone notice that the ground was covered with slippery oil-like objects similar to asphalt. He couldn't help but scream nervously.

"Be careful at your feet..."

"There is an ambush..."

“Distract quickly…”

It’s a pity that these sounds were buried in the noise of roaring and screaming. And there was already a spontaneous disagreement among the front team,

Some people support their bodies back to back, hoping to climb over each other and rush over. Some people are desperately pushing to both sides, trying to cut obstacles and rush out a way of life.

Then they were squeezed out by more people who flocked to the scene and continued to push forward involuntarily. With loud cursing and roaring and calling, they also stepped on their injured companions and corpses, pushing the obstacles into a shaky way.

Then, these sounds suddenly stopped briefly, and countless dense trajectories of fireworks rose above the city wall, which immediately caused them to fall into the double hell of burning flames and shooting arrows.

The terrifying roars in desperate situations were wailing one after another, and even overwhelmed the sound of attacking the city. The soldiers of the Southern Army who were striving to climb the city could not help but hesitate and shock for a moment. Then the enemy, whose morale was greatly boosted, re-pushed the city and the ladder.

The city gate was rising straight up with the flames and smoke, which was like opening some key signal and switch.

In several directions of the imperial city, a huge noise echoed suddenly. With a heavy clanging sound from the inside out, countless armored iron streams rushed out of the city gates, and suddenly rushed into the siege army under the alert state.

This is the direction of the imperial city, and he actually sent all his troops to fight back. This is not like the style of the Lingbaogong in the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

The head coach Zhang Shuye of Shangyang Palace and Yang Keshi who came to report the situation were both surprised and looked at this scene in a covetous manner.

Then, he couldn't wait to face a subordinate who came to repay him.

"Is the General's Mansion decided to take the initiative...

"No, it was Dashe who personally led the soldiers of the army to fight to the death with the foreign enemy."

The military general who was so angry that he ran out of breath, said with a flushed and somewhat fanatical look.

In front of Heyang Bridge, a war has just ended with the figures scattered and scattered.

I don’t know if it was because of the poor transmission of the news or because of different ranks, the enemy troops gathered near Heyang Bridge did not seem to have received news of previous failures or setbacks, but retreated or avoided our fronts.

Instead, they gathered again under the call of the horn, arranged the arrays and made the wave impact, trying to win the battle with our army on the spot.

The next result was naturally unexpected. The dense array of gunfires and layered artillery were taught a hard lesson. The basic principles of being a human being are about rashly attacking the dense arrays and barrage with flesh and blood.

Now, a long-lasting smoke pillar has risen in Nanguan City. It is the defenders before withdrawing, burning down the equipment and bulky objects that cannot be taken away.

After meeting with Wang Gui's troops who rushed out of Nanguan City and gained corresponding coordinated command, my troops under my command increased to 24,000 again, which was even more confident.

At this time, we met the messenger sent by Luodu City. It was vaguely said that it was the Eastern Front army and horses. They encountered some difficulties in the city and needed to wait for us to come and join forces.

Of course I was not that easy to fool, but I just threatened it a little. After the probability of the messenger disappearing in the war, the other party was completely convinced and told everything he knew.

Only then did I realize that after we were far away from the battlefield, there were still such a series of twists and turns and changes. Now the troops in the city have suffered another difficulty and difficult situation.

After a brief military discussion, I decided to rush to the east gate with all my strength. On the one hand, it was the basic principle and overall view of the loss of lips and teeth. On the other hand, from a private standpoint, does it still have a chance to return to Luodu City? I had already given up and felt a little excited.

It’s a pity that ideals are full and reality is skinny.

When we approached the east gate in a vast and vast way, we were stunned to see the scene of the city gates opening in groups of people fleeing out.
