#1159 world war (seventeen)
Wang Xuanjing was originally a general of Yuchi Gong. After the Battle of Loufanguan, he was promoted to Huya Lang General and was transferred to Wei Wentong's army. With his shrewdness and ability, he gradually gained the appreciation of Wei Wentong and became his right-hand man.
Wang Xuanjing was responsible for guarding the North City, which was closer to the East City. In order to gain time, Wei Wentong urgently ordered Wang Xuanjing to rush to the East City to support him.
Three thousand soldiers rushed towards the east city headed by Wang Xuanjing.
At this time, Dongcheng was already in danger, and all five nest cars were approaching the city wall, and Zhou army's arrows had no choice but to the nest cars.
One of the nesting vehicles had already arrived at the city wall first. When it was only one meter closer to the city wall, the thick wooden boards were placed down and smashed on the battlements. The gravel flew around. It formed a natural bridge. One hundred Tang army dead soldiers in the platform inside the vehicle rushed out of the nesting vehicle and rushed directly to the top of the city, fighting with Zhou soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, the other four nesting cars also leaned onto the city wall one after another, and nearly 500 soldiers rushed to the top of the city. The three thousand people led by Hou Junji were the elite selected by Li Shimin from tens of thousands of troops to attack the city wall for the first wave. Once they succeeded in attacking Dongcheng, a large number of Tang soldiers would continue to surge along the passage inside the nesting cars.
These five hundred soldiers were extremely fierce and unstoppable. They instantly broke out among the defenders. The Tang army under the city, led by Hou Junji, rushed to the top of the city along the nest car passage. More than 2,000 defenders were killed and retreated one after another. The situation of defending the city suddenly became tense.
The Lord of Dongcheng City Zhao Jun shouted anxiously: "We can't stand it if we go ask for help again."
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of Zhou troops came up from the city. At this time, they were defenders at the East City Gate. They were closest to the battlefield and the situation on the city wall was critical, so they also came up.
Hundreds of new forces came to ease the situation in Dongcheng a little, but because the support was too small, it could not change the critical situation in Dongcheng. However, the invasion of these hundreds of soldiers still bought some time for the Zhou army who came to Beicheng.
Just when the defense line of the Zhou army in Dongcheng was about to be torn apart, Wang Xuanjing led three thousand soldiers to finally arrive. Wang Xuanjing roared and led the soldiers into the battlefield.

Shortly after Hou Junji led five chases and soldiers to attack Dongcheng, Li Shimin also received news. The news made him overjoyed. He immediately led 10,000 troops to fight to Dongcheng. At this time, Wei Wentong also saw Li Shimin's intention. He had just sent Wang Xuanjing to support Dongcheng, and once again urgently ordered the six thousand reserve soldiers in the city to rush to Dongcheng to fight.
At this time, the army led by the Tang general Qin Qiong's attack on Xicheng did not weaken, but instead became more and more fierce in the battle. Xicheng was also dangerous, which made Wei Wentong have no time to take care of Dongcheng.
The fierce battle in Dongcheng was in a stalemate. Five hundred powerful Tang soldiers fought against the Zhou army at the front, and behind were more than 2,000 Tang soldiers led by Hou Junji. The city was slightly narrow and could not start a full-scale battle. Only when a group of soldiers were killed could the soldiers behind them step on the bodies of their companions and kill the enemy.
Hou Junji's goal was very clear. He killed him from the top of the city and opened the city gate to let the lord lead his army into Hedong City.
But the corridor in the lower city was blocked by the Zhou army, and the lower city on the other side was two miles away. There were also countless Zhou army rushing to the top of the city, making Hou Junji anxious. At this time, a loud horn sound came from afar. His Highness the King of Qin personally led the main force to fight.
The bloody and tense war finally stopped. Wei Wentong felt that he was exhausted and almost exhausted. Sweat made his inner and outer armor soaked, and his armor became particularly heavy, hanging on him like a big stone. He leaned weakly on a battlement and looked out of the city. The overwhelming camp in the distance suddenly became unreal.
This tragic fierce battle lingered in his mind like a nightmare, and he refused to leave for a long time. Seeing the bodies being moved away like wood, the Zhou army suffered such heavy casualties, he did not even think that the Tang army would attack from the East City.
