Chapter 125 Capture the city gate

On the morning of September 11, 17th year of Jianping, just at Si, at Yongchang Gate west of Jinluo City, there were many people coming and going, with traffic and traffic, which was very lively.

At this time, a convoy coming from afar attracted the attention of a deputy team of Jin Luo Imperial Army at the city gate. The main reason is that more than ten people in front of the convoy were too tall, and they all looked like powerful generals fighting on the battlefield.

"You guys, come with me to check the convoy that transports grain!" The deputy commander of the Jinluo Imperial Army said to the seven and eight Jinluo Imperial Army soldiers behind him.

More than ten people who aroused the suspicion of this Jinluo Imperial Army deputy were Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Chu, Lu Zhishen and eight wolves generals.

There are six city gates in the four directions of Jinluo City, southeast, west and northeast. There is only one Yongchang Gate to the west. Yongchang Gate will open every day to allow people inside and outside the city to pass through. The army will not enter and exit through Yongchang Gate. It needs to go to Wansheng Gate to the north and exit Jinluo City. Wansheng Gate is usually closed.

Li Bin selected 200 warriors and 300 powerful men from the 280,000 Fuzhen soldiers gathered, and led by Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Chu and Lu Zhishen to drive dozens of carriages filled with grain, dressed up as a caravan for transporting grain, and rushed to Jinluo City first.

Li Bin hopes that Pei Yuanqing and the others can seize the Yongchang Sect and allow the 280,000 Fuzhen soldiers he led to directly enter Jinluo City through the Yongchang Sect.

Seeing a team of Jin Luo imperial guards coming over, Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Chu and Lu Zhishen looked at each other, and suddenly lifted the tarp on the carriage, revealing the weapons under the tarp.

"Brothers, let me kill you!" Xiong Kuohai picked up two axes and shouted loudly.

"Kill - take down Yongchang Gate!" Pei Yuanqing also picked up a pair of silver hammers on the carriage and shouted loudly.

The Jinluo Imperial Guard who came over was killed by Pei Yuanqing and Xiong Kuohai. Then the two of them took the lead in killing the Jinluo Imperial Guard officers and soldiers at the city gate.

Xu Chu, Lu Zhishen, and the eight wolf generals who obeyed Lu Zhishen's orders followed and rushed towards the city gate.

Five hundred soldiers from Fujun also pulled out weapons under the tarpaulin of the carriage and shouted and rushed towards the Jinluo Imperial Army guarding Yongchang Gate.

In fact, at this time, the imperial court of Jinluo had already learned of the mutiny in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth towns of the servants, and was studying which Jinluo troops to quell the rebellion.

The monarchs and ministers of Jinluo Kingdom never expected that the four rebellious soldiers of Fuzhen dared to attack Jinluo City, so Jinluo City did not impose martial law.

At this time, there were only more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Jinluo Imperial Army guarding the city gate, and the 500 Fuzhen soldiers who seized the city gate were all elite soldiers selected from the 280,000 Fuzhen soldiers, not to mention the leaders of the four men, Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Chu, Lu Zhishen, and the eight wolf generals.

As soon as the battle was met, the Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers near the city gate could not stand it. At this time, Xu Chu shouted to Lu Zhishen: "Monk! Take the wolf generals to seize the gate behind the city gate!"

Behind Yongchang Gate, there is a urn city built. The gate of the urn city is about 100 meters away from the main city gate. Once the gate of the urn city is closed, even if Pei Yuanqing and others seize the main city gate of the Yongchang Gate, the army led by Li Bin will not be able to directly enter Jinluo City.

In a hurry, Li Bin did not make someone to build siege equipment, and even the simplest long wooden ladder was not prepared. If the main city gate of Yongchang Gate and the urn gate behind him could not be taken down, then Li Bin's plan to attack Jinluo City would be a joke.

Lu Zhishen immediately rushed to the urging gate with eight wolves generals and some soldiers of Fujun, holding the bows and arrows of the Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers on the wall between the main city gate and the urncheng gate.

Although the Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the city had tried hard to close the gate, the heavy gate was not so easy to close. When Lu Zhishen led his men to kill, the gate of the city was only half closed.

With the battle between Lu Zhishen and eight wolves generals, the remaining half of the city gate had no chance to close.

Just as everyone seized the Yongchang Gate, the Fujun soldiers lit several carriages mixed with food and dry cow dung, and thick black smoke rose, sending signals to the army in the distance.

The Jinluo army stationed at Yongchang Gate was not only the Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers guarding the main city gate and the urn city gate, but soon a large number of Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers came over and tried to recapture the two gates of Yongchang Gate.

However, under the desperate battles of Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Chu, Lu Zhishen, Eight Wolf Generals and Five Hundred Elite Soldiers of Fuzhen, the fierce battles at the two city gates were in a deadlock. In a short period of time, the officers and soldiers of the Jinluo Imperial Army were unable to regain the two city gates.

The army led by Li Bin was worried that it would be exposed to approach Jinluo City too early. When Pei Yuanqing and Xiong Kuohai captured Yongchang Gate, Li Bin's army was about twenty miles away from Yongchang Gate.

However, when Li Bin saw thick smoke rising in Jinluo City, he immediately sent Lu Bu to lead more than 1,800 cavalrymen to quickly support Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai and others who captured Yongchang Gate.

Most of the war horses of these more than 1,800 cavalrymen were seized from the Jinluo officers and soldiers in the five towns, and some were brought by Li Bin and others from Dayan territory.

Lu Bu and more than 1,800 cavalrymen rushed to Yongchang Gate in less than a quarter of an hour and joined the fierce battle, which immediately relieved the pressure of Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai and others.

At this time, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Jinluo Imperial Army had gathered near the two city gates of Yongchang Gate, and more officers and soldiers of the Jinluo Imperial Army were rushing over.

When the Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers on the city wall saw the army appearing in the distance, the competition between the two gates of Yongchang Gate became even more tragic.

Xu Chu killed a soldier who was frightened by the fierce fighting with one knife. After turning around and running away, he shouted loudly: "The person who retreated will die! Hold on! The general led hundreds of thousands of troops to arrive every day. If we guard the city gate, we can capture Jinluo City!"

Li Bin led the army to run wildly. In just half an hour, Li Bin personally led the vanguard troops to Yongchang Gate.

At this time, although the more than 2,000 Fuzhen soldiers led by Lu Bu, Pei Yuanqing and others had already suffered all casualties, even the eight wolves led by Lu Zhishen were killed in battle, the two gates of Yongchang Gate were still open, and Li Bin led the army immediately rushed in.

The battle near Yongchang Gate continued, and Li Bin ordered Huang Zhong beside him: "Hansheng, quickly lead troops to capture the city tower of Yongchang Gate and the entire city city, and be sure to guard the two city gates of Yongchang Gate. If you cannot capture Jinluo City, Yongchang Gate is our only way out!"

"Yes, lord! I, Huang Zhong, will defend Yongchang Sect even if I fight for my life!"

Then Li Bin Yang Zaixing ordered: "Xuanwu, immediately lead the troops to the place where my Dayan officers and soldiers are imprisoned in the city. Be sure to rescue my father and second uncle!"

"Don't worry, lord, I will rescue Mr. Li and Mr. Li Er!"

After Pei Yuanqing and others seized the two city gates of Yongchang Gate, there were less than 7,000 Jinluo Imperial Army who could enter the battle of Yongchang Gate in time.

When the army under Li Bin rushed into Jinluo City, nearly 7,000 Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers from Yongchang Gate fought only more than 4,000 people, and were soon swallowed up by tens of thousands of soldiers who were pacified.

After Li Bin entered Jinluo City, he also learned from the prisoners that excited Li Bin. It turned out that there was only the second town of Jinluo Imperial Guards stationed in Jinluo City. The first town, third town and fourth town of Jinluo Imperial Guards stationed in Jinluo City. Yesterday, he left Jinluo City and went to Luoqu County on the capital road of Jinluo Kingdom to quell the rebellion, while Luoqu County was on the east side of Jinluo City.

Just a few days ago, the first, second, third, fourth and fifth towns formed by Dongcong soldiers suddenly changed together, killing nearly 300,000 Jinluo officers and soldiers who served as officers and in charge of the military commander, and also captured the county town of Yaling County, Luoqu County.

The first, third and fourth towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army were ordered to rush to Yaling County to quell the rebellion.

The reason why the Jinluo court was anxious to send the elite troops of the three Jinluo Imperial Army to quell the rebellion was that the Jinluo Emperor Xiahou really hoped that the rebellion could be quickly quelled before the prisoner ceremony was held, so as to avoid the tribe leaders of the barbarians and the envoys of Moji, Shisu, and Zheng who were laughing at it.

This place was held to offer prisoners, which represented victory, but there were hundreds of thousands of rebels causing trouble. Emperor Xiahou felt embarrassed himself.

In addition to the above-mentioned first, third and fourth towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army, the Jinluo imperial court also mobilized the imperial army from the other two towns and the 50,000 wing troops, and rushed to Yaling County to participate in the suppression of the rebellion.

However, the imperial guards of the other two towns suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with the Da Yan army. Now the two towns have not recovered their vitality. The total number is less than 50,000 people, most of which are new recruits.

The first town of the Jinluo Imperial Army has been stationed in Jinluo City and has not participated in the previous battle with the Dayan army. Although the third and fourth towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army participated in the previous battle with the Dayan army, they all joined in the later stages, and the losses were not large. Now the losses of the troops of the Third and Fourth Towns have been replenished.

The three elite troops of the Jinluo Imperial Army were suddenly missing in Jinluo City, which made Li Bin overjoyed. He immediately changed some of the combat plans and sent Lu Bu, Pei Yuanqing and others to lead troops to seize the other five gates of Jinluo City first.

To be honest, even Li Bin himself had never thought that he could really capture the entire Jinluo City before attacking Jinluo City. Li Bin only hopes that he could take advantage of this siege to rescue his father and second uncle in the chaos.

Now that Li Bin learned that the entire Jinluo City was only one town of the Jinluo Imperial Army, he immediately felt that it was not impossible to capture Jinluo City.
