Chapter 269 Guarding the Capital (Part 1)
Chen Qianji's expectations were indeed correct. The first choice for the attack location of the army in the Tang Dynasty was Huayang Gate. Facing thousands of troops, there were only 30,000 people behind Chen Qianji, but this was the most elite 30,000 people after all.
When the enemy entered the land of one arrow, the feather arrows on the top of the city began to attack one round after another, causing most of the vanguard troops to lose halfway. The cavalry was fast enough that after paying the first round of losses, the second wave of enemies had already rushed to the city gate.
Chen Qianji raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it up to the sky. He was the first to rush out of the military formation. With his encouragement, the soldiers behind him dared not to fail to fight. If Dan Tai Wengu saw this scene, he would regret his underestimation of Chen Qianji.
As a scholar, he can play conspiracies and also go to the battlefield. Chen Qianji is agile. Although there is a big gap between him and his professional generals, it is still more than enough to protect himself from being cut and killed. His original purpose was to lead the soldiers behind him to fight. As long as his purpose was achieved, he began to retreat rhythmically and hide himself into the back of the army.
The Tang Pioneer Army encountered tenacious resistance, which was very different from what they expected. The resistance they encountered when they entered the 12 states of the Central Plains before were not too strong. Except for the first few states, the rest were almost all without blood. Before the war, Wu Weihu repeatedly told them not to be careless, but unfortunately most generals did not listen. In their opinion, the 200,000 army would definitely be able to destroy the Liang Dynasty in one go.
The power to put it to death was still very powerful, so powerful that even Chen Qianji himself began to be happy. The 30,000 soldiers were the elites in the remaining army. With the leadership of the commander, they were also cut off their backs by their own people. They could be said to have used 100% of the courage to kill the enemy. The two armies fought in a melee, and facing the enemy several times that of them, the Liang army outside the Huayang Gate did not retreat at all. For two full hours, they built the last line of defense with their lives.
Since Huayang Gate encountered resistance, he turned to attack other city gates. Wu Wei ordered the right army to start attacking Chengtian Gate, and at the same time ordered the left army to attack Jinchuan Gate. Jin Chongwu led the left army to fight, and all the warriors under him were warriors like him.
The left army rushed out, and Xuan Shaoning saw it. The capital was not about to collapse at once, which gave him a lot of safety. Although the emperor sitting in the capital was someone he did not want to be loyal to, the people in the capital were innocent and they should not bear this disaster. He didn't know who was guarding the Jinchuan Gate. He only hoped that the Jinchuan Gate could be kept, but at the same time he also had such a little selfish desire to hope that Jin Chongwu could come back alive.
Here comes! Yan Keran saw the approaching Yan Chen, who had already been ready to fight to the end. At the same time, he admired Chen Qianji's strategy even more, and could even predict the enemy's attack route. At this point, he would definitely have to show off his real skills to the world.
Feather arrows on the top of the city begin to fire
At the same time, the bows and arrows from the Lower Tang army also shot towards the city head. It became lively. The attacks of the two sides of the feather arrows mixed together, causing casualties to both sides. However, the feather arrows on the city head were constantly connected, and the crossbows of the Lower Tang army were not replaced so frequently. In fact, there was no need to be replaced frequently. Once the two armies fought, the crossbows would lose their function. After all, neither side dared to shoot at will, and those who accidentally hurt themselves were their own people.
Jin Chongwu threw out three flying knives, and the knife was broken into pieces, and he solved the three guards beside Yan Keran at one time. He had seen clearly that this man was the commander of Liang's army, and if he killed him, he could break through the Jinchuan Gate in one fell swoop.
Yan Keran is neither blind nor stupid. The military rank can be seen from Jin Chongwu's moves and attire. He also determined to kill the enemy commander first. Yan Keran's skills are all masters of Qingshan Academy. After leaving the academy, he did not slacken. He practiced every day. Now that he is not inferior to that of the past, and he has even improved.
The Liang Dynasty's practical force was enough to stand out for the heroes, and his ability to fight alone was among the best in several countries. The martial arts of Qingshan Academy inherited the most useful combat techniques in the army. In this regard, Ke Ran had enough confidence in himself. So every move he made was the result of planning and then taking action.
Speaking of this, perhaps the battle between the two should be inclined, and Yan Keran should have the upper hand. However, in fact, most of Yan Keran's moves have been captured by Jin Chongwu, and they have already made corresponding moves to disassemble them. What surprised Yan Keran even more was that Jin Chongwu was not only familiar with his move routine, but also could find out his move flaws in the tense battle and then counterattack.
Yan Keran took a few steps to take a breath, and also began to examine the enemy in front of him. This was a young man with a good appearance and strong force. Although he was a soldier from the Tang Dynasty, he had a good understanding of the fighting skills of the Liang Dynasty. This young man combined the martial arts of the Liang Dynasty with his own fighting skills to create a new move routine. Although he was not mature enough at present, it was still no problem to deal with Yan Keran.
Yan Keran was determined to fight to the death. He always believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he would always get rewards. Who would have thought that the other party's command ability was so strong that once he showed signs of retreating, it would be a fatal blow to the entire army. At that time, he would have to sacrifice his life for his country.
No, absolutely not! Yan Keran secretly encouraged himself, "No matter who he teaches, I must not retreat, even if they die together!"
Jin Chongwu didn't have so many concerns or thoughts at all. His idea was very simple. He first killed the enemy commander in front of him, then led his brothers to kill all the Liang army, and finally rushed into the city to complete his mission. At least for now, the battle with Xuan Shaoning for so long was still very effective. The opponent's moves were indeed all included in his own pocket, so he was considered a good move.
head.
The sand flew up, fascinating Yan Keran's eyes. Jin Chongwu didn't want to waste time at all. He rushed to Yan Keran and waved his arm and immediately shone with dazzling sparks. Yan Keran touched it casually and noticed a crack in his armor, which was caused by the opponent's weapons.
Jin Chongwu's weapon is also unique enough. It is not worn with you or controlled by your hands, but connected with the armor. A thin and sharp blade extends from the shoulder to the wrist, just like it grows on the arm, both arms are like this. As long as he waves his arm, the blade will cause considerable casualties in a certain space. As long as his arm moves, the blue blade will flash a deadly light.
Compared with Jin Chongwu's weapon, the ordinary saber in Yan Keran's hand seemed much weaker. So what? Master Shiraishi said that the most important factor in fighting is people, and everything else is just auxiliary. Yan Keran still believes in himself. He wants to complete this task and become a national hero that people rush to celebrate. Then he stands in front of Yun Xuan with glory and tells him that he is far better than Xuan Shaoning and that he is worthy of her!
Crazy! The blade met the sword, and both tried their best. The blade left a thin cut on the sword's blade, and at the same time wanted to seize Yan Keran's life. Fortunately, Yan Keran's throat was protected by armor, and his reaction was also very timely, so he avoided the fatal blow. However, Jin Chongwu had always used one move, and the last three moves were already in place. Another blade cut open Yan Keran's leg armor, and then kicked Yan Keran's lower abdomen with one kick.
"Fighting requires enough concentration! No matter how much you think, it is not as good as taking action. It is worth it to exchange your life for a lesson today!"
Jin Chongwu jumped up and took action. At this moment, a feather arrow shot out to block his attack. Yan Keran took the opportunity to retreat into the army. He turned around and looked at the city gate. The city gate was closed and he had no way out.
No! No! Even if you die, you can't bear the shame and insult of deserters! Yan Keran stared at the city gate for a few more glances and then turned back to face Tang's army and the young man who took the ruthless action.
After Jin Chongwu temporarily lost his target, he started to deal with the enemy. Fighting and killing were obviously events that he liked very much, and he did not hesitate at all. Under the leadership of the commander, the soldiers of Tang of Xia pressed step by step, allowing the bodies of Liang soldiers to accumulate at the gate of the city, and also forced them into a situation where they could not retreat.
A spear came down from the sky and plunged into an inch of Jin Chongwu's feet. The pause at this moment dissolved the offensive momentum of the Tang army and stabilized the morale of the retreating Imperial Guards.
Yan Keran stood in front of the army again, held the saber tightly and made a desperate battle. "If you want to break the door, then step on my body!"
