Chapter 963 Battle of Taiyuan (4)

Three rope ladders more than ten feet long were thrown down from the top of the cliff. The soldiers who had been waiting on the top of the mountain began to climb down quickly. All the soldiers had trained many times and were very skillful in their movements. In just a moment, the first batch of dozens of soldiers rushed to the top of the city. ★

Seeing that the time had come, Wang Xuanjing immediately ordered the capture of the southern city gate. Eighty Sui soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed to the southern gate.

Both the south gate and the north gate of Loufan Pass are key protection places for the Turkic army. Although it was only the third update at this time, there were still 200 soldiers guarding the south gate.

The reason why the southern city gate is crucial to the Sui army is that there is a Turkish army of more than 10,000 people stationed one mile away in the southern city. They are responsible for blocking the main Sui army's attack on Loufan Pass from the south. Once the Sui army cannot take the southern city gate, Turkic reinforcements will enter the city. This sneak attack is likely to fail.

The south city gate is divided into two parts: the downstairs gate and the city tower hub. The city tower hub is generally responsible for the suspension bridge. Although there is no moat in Loufan Pass, in order to prevent the attack of the city hammer from the attacking gate, there is still a relatively wide suspension bridge outside the south city gate, and there is also a trench that is ten feet deep under the suspension bridge.

In addition, the hub on the city tower is also responsible for an iron door bolt at the top of the gate, which is also the most solid door bolt on the city gate. The city gate hub must be opened first before the city tower can be opened.

Therefore, the target of the Sui army's attack was the hub on the city tower. Compared with the city tower, there were fewer soldiers guarding the hub on the city tower, with only more than 30 people. Most of them were sleeping in the city tower. Only three soldiers stood guard outside the city to pay attention to the movements under the city.

At this time, a Turkic patrol team walked quickly towards the city tower. The three soldiers standing guard by the city wall didn't care. They still looked at the city gate and did not say hello to the patrol team. The soldiers of the patrol team turned a blind eye to the three soldiers and walked behind them with their chests raised.

At this moment, an accident suddenly occurred. The soldiers who were patrolling rushed from behind, covered the mouths of the three sentrymen, and pierced their hearts with one knife.

Du Ping, who was hiding in the corridor of the upper city, saw his companion succeed, waved his hand, and led dozens of soldiers to come, kicked open the door, and rushed into the city tower, but an unexpected situation arose. There were more than 30 people in the city tower, but more than 100 people were hiding here to sleep. Du Ping ordered without hesitation: "Kill me!"

Sui soldiers rushed in and killed the Turkic soldiers who were sleeping.

To the west of Guancheng, more than a thousand Sui troops who were ambushing on the top of the mountain had already climbed off the cliff. The sentry tower blocked the gathering of Sui soldiers, but in just a short section of the city wall could not accommodate more than a thousand soldiers. The soldiers began to move down the city, but at this moment, a fierce shout of killing sounded at the south gate, and then the alarm bell on the head of the north city sounded rapidly.

The Sui army soldiers finally fought head-on with the Turkic army. The fierce battle and screams in the city tower alarmed the defenders under the city. A centurion led more than a hundred soldiers to rush to the top of the city and fought fiercely with the Sui army that had just controlled the city tower. The patrol of the North City also showed an abnormality on the westernmost cliff, which sounded the alarm bell.

Wei Wentong immediately made a decision to Wang Xuanjing and said, "You lead 500 soldiers to the South City Gate. The South City Gate is responsible for success or failure, and you must firmly control it in our hands anyway."

"Abide by the order!"

Wang Xuanjing shouted, "First Battalion comes with me!"

The first battalion of 500 soldiers were the first to go up the city. They followed Wang Xuanjing toward the south city gate. At this time, the alarm bells sounded at the top of the city alarmed the sleeping Turkic soldiers. The soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed towards the city. In order to be a centurion, he rode a horse and led hundreds of soldiers to the sentry to the tower.

Wei Wentong jumped off the whistle tower, waved his sword and split the centurion into two pieces. He turned over his war horse and shouted sternly to the Sui soldiers: "Kill with me!"

Sui soldiers shouted and followed Wei Wentong to the influx of enemy troops.

The 10,000 Turkic troops stationed outside the southern city of Loufan Pass were commanded by the ten thousand men, Broza. He was a confidant general of the Luo Khan and was responsible for extremely important tasks to protect the Turkic army from the south to the north.

At the fourth update, the Turkic soldiers woke Broza up, "General, there seems to be something abnormal in the city, and there seems to be a shout of killing."

Broza reacted for a while and asked quickly: "Is anyone here to deliver a letter in Guancheng?"

"No!"

Broza was a little hesitant. It was normal for Guan Cheng not to send him a letter. The chief general Zhuole was Kang Shuoli's man, and the garrison was also Kang Shuoli's army. If something happened to Guan Cheng, the defenders would definitely send a letter to Kang Shuoli for help, not to himself.

But Broza remembered Khan's trust again. Loufanguan not only related to their logistics supplies, but also to their way home. Once something really happened to Loufanguan, he could not explain to Khan.

Broza immediately ordered: "Send a spy to Guancheng to check it out. I want to know what happened?"

The battle at Loufan Pass has gradually reached the end. Wang Xuanjing has completely controlled the South City Gate. The battle is mainly concentrated in the urn city. A total of thousands of people on both sides fought fiercely in the urn city.

The three thousand troops led by Wei Wentong were specially selected elite troops. They were extremely brave and good at fighting, especially at night battles. The Turkic army was good at cavalry, but the infantry fighting ability was a mess. The main reason was that they had no formation and were not cooperated with cooperative combat. The Turkic soldiers each formed their own formations.

When all the three thousand Sui soldiers came down from the cliff, their strength had greatly surpassed the Turkic army, which was also three thousand people, killing countless Turkic soldiers and retreating step by step.

Wei Wentong rushed around the Turkic army with a big sword in his hand. Wherever his war horse passed, blood splattered everywhere, and corpses were everywhere. The sharp sword was stained red with blood, just like a god of killing. Even the master general Zhule was slashed away by him. Whenever he saw him coming with a big sword in his hand, he was frightened to death and fled in the wind.

At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "General, there are enemy spies under the Nancheng City to inquire about the situation!"

"Just say that there was an internal strife in the city, and it was under suppression."

"As for order!" The soldier rushed away.

At this time, Wei Wentong carefully observed the enemy situation and saw that most Turkic soldiers had gathered under the North City Gate, with a total of 1,700 or 800 people. They desperately hit the city gate, but the city tower in the North City had been controlled by the Sui army soldiers. To open the North City Gate, they had to go to the city to open the hub.

Wei Wentong said coldly: "Don't let the enemy open the city, and order the Third and Fourth Battalions to go to the city and shoot me with crossbow arrows!"

A thousand Sui soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall. They were high above the city walls and shot arrows at the gates with the most crowded crowds. The arrows were like rain. The Turkic soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. At this time, hundreds of Turkic soldiers began to break through the siege, but what was greeted was the ruthless killing of the Sui soldiers.

At this moment, all the Turkic soldiers were desperate

Under the southern city, a team of Turkic cavalry was visiting the city at the bottom of the city. This was a spy sent by the main general Broza outside the city to inquire about the situation.

At this time, the shouts of killing in the city had subsided a lot, but the screams of soldiers could still be heard faintly, which made them suspicious. But if the Sui army had already captured the city, it was unreasonable. The key was where the Sui army came from? If it was coming from the north, why was there no news? At least there would be defenders to report to the Khan.

So the city was confused, and they didn't understand what was going on in the city?

On the city, Sui soldiers pretended to be Turkic defenders and came to ask for a whistle and whistle loudly: "You go back and report to General Broza, which is a conflict between the Tieler people and the Turkic people. Hundreds of Tielers rebelled and have been suppressed, and there is no enemy situation."

The Sui army soldiers at the top of the city spoke fluent Turkic language, and raided under the city and said, "Can we open the city gate? Let's go into the city and take a look."

"no!"

The defenders at the top of the city refused flatly, and someone whispered a few words next to him, and the soldier sternly said: "General Kang Shuoli said that he must have his order to open the southern city gate, and we must not open the city gate without authorization."

The escort had no choice but to turn around and return to the camp.

At this time, the ten thousand men's captain Broza was already wearing armor and helmet, waiting at the entrance of the camp.

When he came back from the ward, he immediately asked, "What happened in the city?"

"Report to the general, it was said that it was the internal strife of the Tiel people and the army was suppressing it!"

Broza frowned and asked again, "Have you ever gone in and checked?"

"They refused to open the city, and the defenders above said that General Kangshaoli had an order, and no one could open the South City Gate without his order."

Broza was furious. It was clearly his control. Kang Shuoli dared to overstep the authority and ordered him. He turned around and walked into the camp. He really didn't want to take care of it anymore. Kang Shuoli was responsible for all the consequences.

But after just a few steps, Broza suddenly felt something was wrong. Before leaving, Khan repeatedly instructed that there were no Tiel soldiers in the city, and all Turkic soldiers must be guarded. How could there be Tiel people rebellion?

Could it be that Kang Shuoli asked hundreds of Tielite people to participate in defending the city?

It is impossible. Although Kang Shuoli is bold and arrogant, he will not be able to fight against Khan's orders. Besides, either all the Tiel people will be allowed to defend the city, or there is no Tiel people, so there is no reason to arrange only a few hundred Tiels to participate in defending the city.

Broza immediately realized that there must be something wrong in the city, and something must have happened. He made a quick decision and ordered: "Send the whole army to assemble!"

Before Broza could gather, he personally led two thousand cavalry to the south city of Loufan Pass. (To be continued.)8
