Chapter 937: Soldier's Might Breaks the Curtain (Continued 2)

To the southwest of Chang'an, because the Han Dynasty Hengduwei Zhong Guan ordered the minting of coins, it was also the Zhongguan City (now northeast of Hu County, Shaanxi Province) left by one of the three minting officials of Shanglinyuan. Wang Jian, the general of the Shu army, with a tall eyebrows and a tall face, looked a little handsome, and the governor of Lizhou and the vanguard military envoy, was also complaining helplessly to the envoy who urged the brigade from the Xiangji Temple camp:

"I would like to ask Mr. Ming to see that our Shu army has always been unfavorable to the winter war in the snow!"

"What's more, I've tried my best to attack Chen Cang, Jincheng and other places all the way!"

"To date, there are many people in the army who have frostbite, and they are short of medical treatment and cannot be cured. Even if they are in a hurry, they may not be able to help much. Instead, they are burdened by Master Wang..."

It is indeed rare for the visitor to listen to his old tune and replay complaints patiently, and then he slowly spoke to Wang Jian, who looked helpless:

"When I came here, my husband naturally realized the difficulties of Wang Xianbing. However, this time the matter was different. He just invited the Shu army to settle in Chang'an and thought that he would help defend the retreat."

He paused and said in a meaningful tone:

"Can't it be that the Shu army is so weak that it is even weak in the power of the garrison?"

"Please report back to the old man, since he is loved, why dares to say more? Even if he climbs, he has to climb to Chang'an City..."

Wang Jian couldn't help but feel erect when he heard this:

"Then I'm in Shangjing, waiting for the style of the Shu army soldiers..."

The visitor smiled unmovedly and bowed to say goodbye. However, looking at the disappearing figure of Wang Jian, the commander of Zhongwu, Xu Cun, could not help but say:

"When I first do it, why did I agree with those people so easily..."

"Otherwise, what can I do? How many times do you think I can shirk it? How did Xiao Yang Dujian explain at the beginning? There should be a limit if you want to save yourself for a while!"

Wang Jian retorted disapprovingly:

"Are you not enough to plunder the whole way since you took down Chen Cang Camp? Or are you not enough to seize the thief Zibo? This time, the people have divided the revival of the resurrection of the Beijing. Even if there are many relationships and difficulties, you have to accept it. Even if you still want to push the three obstacles, are your subordinates willing to take some men? Are the Huangtou Army, Shenji Camp, and those who suddenly general the capital have been willing to?"

Therefore, after half a day, the Shu army, which gathered together with the rumbling war drums, began to carry large and small bags with all kinds of thoughts, longings and expectations. With many loads of cars and horses, they stepped on the road and became thinner and turned into gray-white muddy snow, and headed towards Chang'an City.

In the city of Chang'an under the gloomy sky, Huang Chao, standing on the Zhuque Gate of Daming Palace in the north, was also raising his eyes to look at the direction of the south of the city. With the fireworks rising from the city gates from south to north, he struggled to hold on to Chang'an for most of the winter, as if he had already fallen into the middle of the two days.

The only thing that was still fighting was probably facing the direction of Mingde Gate at the end of Danfeng Gate Street, the Taiping Army was fighting, and there were still the troops of the Taiping Army who were fighting vaguely. It was like a scene that happened similar to last year. It was just that the Taiping Army occupied Mingde Gate was still the Taiping Army; but the one standing here was changed from Cui Anqian to himself. Is this an unknown sign?

However, Huang Chao did not imagine that Cui Anqian gave up like this, because he had nearly 30,000 troops who retreated to the three major cities of the North City with all his might, and there were several times more military and civilians who followed him in advance to the vicinity of the three major cities for refuge. Whether it was the Western Army who came from afar or the Shu Army who had traveled north for a long distance, after this series of attacks, he should have exhausted his might to the end of his strength.

Therefore, even though someone had persuaded and suggested around him, most of the old and weak in the city were left to cut off the rear and lure the enemy. The Huang King secretly led the elite part to take advantage of the opportunity that Chang'an could not completely encircle, and then broke north into Tongguan, and then returned to the Kanto land that was still under the name of Daqi. It would be better to start a new trend in the eastern capital Luoyang.

However, he refused without hesitation, and refuted it on the spot on the grounds that he must not give up easily and died with the city. However, behind these glamorous slogans and determination, the real reason was also very sad. Because he found that his body could no longer withstand the long-distance marching, even took a bus. Or if he insisted on breaking through, he would probably die suddenly on the road, and everything would be over.

Therefore, on the one hand, he ordered the medical officer who made such a diagnosis to be imprisoned, and on the other hand, he forced himself to walk up the city and chatted with the soldiers and chatted with them; he vowed to advance and retreat with them, which was very encouraging and gained a wave of people's hearts. For those generals of all sizes, he was full of confidence in his words, and as long as he waited for a while, he would welcome reinforcements from the south and east.

At that time, as long as the current front is stabilized and the attack on Chang'an city walls is coordinated, it will replicate the great victory and victory of the Hedong Army under Cui Anqian, the "Killing Master" of the previous year. He can even look forward to the great victory and victory of the Hedong Army under the command of the Northbound Camp. After repelling the Western Army led by Zheng Ting and joining the Shu army, the old dynasty would have no spare energy and would have even been unable to survive.

At that time, even if we maintain a situation of standing together with the Taiping Army as promised, we can not only enjoy the wealth and honor of Chang'an City, but also make progress in the empty Helong or Jiannan Sanchuan, and take up a foundation for establishing ourselves. However, it is the unpredictable end of Yuan Sheng who shakes his destiny to the enemy and gives his destiny to the enemy.

For this reason, he also executed a group of officials who had poor defense in the city. Therefore, after the city was broken, the people's hearts were shaken and calmed down; and the officials who invaded the city were once again blocked, outside several city yards near Da Nei. However, yesterday, Huang Chao also noticed the new changes in the situation, because the continuous advancement of the official army in the city was also slow and even stagnant.

No matter what the reason was, the breathing opportunity he had expected and claimed had appeared. This also made Huang Chao's prestige and morale rise again in a short time. During this long-lost time in person, Huang Chao also felt some improvement and change in physical and mental state.

Even though his hands and feet were still cold when he was sleeping, and no matter how hard his concubine could not cover him, he could feel obvious hunger when he got up, and he could drink half a bowl of thick soup more than usual. His mind, which was prone to sleepy at any time due to lack of energy, became clear again.

Unfortunately, in front of Huang Chao, he could no longer see the figure of Meng Kai, the "Flying Mountain Tiger" who was striving for the first place in everything. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little upset and unwilling to order again:

"Come here, send some death-death men to the city to explore Ambassador Meng's whereabouts..."

On the west road of Shannan, under Chenggu City to the northwest of Xingyuan Prefecture, Shannan Expedition Army also ushered in the most difficult moment in the battle. Amid the shocking drums and whistling sounds, the official army kept pouring in from the incomplete city certificates, making the Taiping soldiers led by Guo Yan unable to kill, and were broken into gaps one by one.

All kinds of swords and guns had already been cut and broken, and the muskets and crossbows that shot all the arrows were also broken. There were corpses stacked on the ground that made people have nowhere to put their feet. Many of the corpses were still in a state of being entangled in one place and fighting to the last moment. Guo Yan, who supported several guards back to back, also tried to open the red eyes that were condensed by the blood flowing from the forehead, and panted heavily, swung the knife to open the short spear that was pierced;

Then, after paying the price of being stabbed through armor and a piece of flesh on his shoulder, Guo Yan snatched the enemy soldier on the other side without hesitation, and then pressed his back with his other hand to pull the knife over the neck of another enemy soldier who was squeezed beside him. As the armor pieces collapsed and the blade rolled up, it also brought out a thin bloodline.

However, while Guo Yan cut down two enemies, he leaned against the guards who fought against him, and another man was stabbed into the thigh in the chaos. After losing the unilateral balance, he wanted to reach out and drag his companion's body to support him, but he grabbed a hand and fell to the ground in vain. Then, while using all his strength to cut off an enemy soldier's shin, he was also penetrated to the ground without hesitation.

As the flaws revealed by the fall of the guard, the small battle group was stabbed and chopped one after another, leaving only a relatively comprehensive and thick armor left. Guo Yan, who was chopped several times and failed to cause fatal damage. At this time, he leaned against the ragged inner edge of the city card, and Guo Yan also smiled and resolutely.

It seemed that he could not support that moment; he thought so calmly, but reached out to touch the rough edge of the city certificate. Looking at the officers and soldiers who surrounded him but were not in a hurry to kill the officers and soldiers who wanted to capture them alive, he couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth. Do he want to create a record of the highest level of the Taiping Army's captured generals here?

The next moment, a loud uproar came from the city. Compared with the sporadic battles and hoarse roars that had declined on the city, the clamor from the city was so harsh and clear:

"Reverse, reverse..."

"Jingnan Camp is in chaos..."

"Be careful of the rioters..."

"Back, back all,..."

"No access except Shen Ce Army..."

"A bastard, come forward to protect Yang Dujian..."

"How could Zhongwu kill the thousand swords?..."

"Stop, stop, don't move around in the spot... inspect the people yourself..."
