On a snowy night, east of Chang'an, Ba Bridge in the wind and snow were shining with fire, and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. The Zhou army broke through Lantian, chased the broken Sui army, and chased them all the way to fight with the Ba Bridge garrison. They were going to rush across Ba Bridge to attack Chang'an.

The Ba Bridge is the key to Chang'an, and it is the throat of the traffic east of the capital. In the second year of Kaihuang, the stone arch bridge was built next to the old bridge to withstand the endless stream of cars and horses every day. However, the situation is urgent but cannot be removed.

Early this morning, the prince led his army to Lantian, and the Baqiao Post at Baqiao also increased its garrison. As a result, Lantian fell and Baqiao became the last line of defense in Chang'an. If the Baqiao could be cut off, it would directly cut off the idea of ​​Zhou's army passing through the Ba River quickly, but now it can only defend.

The Ba River and the core flowing from the Qinling Mountains to the south gather here. The Ba Bridge across the Ba River is a bridge between the east and west banks. The Zhou army did not fight here. They fought for the two forked rivers upstream to build wooden bridges at the same time to prepare for both hands.

In the middle of winter, the river water was cold, but many Zhou soldiers carried the wood directly down the river to build bridges. They nailed the wood directly with door-shaped iron nails, which was extremely fast.

The bridge has been set up on the Ba River.

The Zhou army is now rushing to build a nuclear bridge. The Sui army, who left Chang'an to reinforce, fought at the Zhou soldiers who landed in the Hanyoutar team, and the two sides fought desperately around the Ba Bridge. One side had to delay time, and the other side had to fight for time.

The commander of the Zhou army, Yu Wenliang, stood on the east bank of the Ba River, staring at the two battlefields in front of him, and then at the Chang'an City in the distance, with an impatient look on his face. The Sui army's tenacious resistance was expected, but if he dragged on like this, the variables became bigger and bigger.

Yuwen Liang took out a pocket watch from the cloth pocket on his belt, looked at the time in the fire, looked at the direction of Chang'an, and then signaled to his subordinates: "Build the bridge faster!"

The war horses galloped, and the Zhou cavalry advanced towards Chang'an under the torch held by the vanguard. When the main force attacked Lantian, they went west to Bailuyuan. After finally walking through the gullies, the river beach turned into the official road and rushed to the south side of Chang'an according to the command of the commander.

The moon was covered with dark clouds, and the surroundings were pitch black. The wilderness was gone before. Many war horses accidentally broke their legs. Fortunately, they prepared enough horses and did not delay their trip. However, after passing Bailuyuan, most of the horses were lost.

If it was a normal marching, it would never do this. On the one hand, it would be useless to lose the war horses, and on the other hand, the logistics could not be guaranteed and it would be easy to cut off the food route. However, only by dividing troops to encircle the troops can it be possible to add a little weight to the final success.

The army broke through Lantian, and the cavalry chased and attacked the defeated soldiers all the way, and at the same time attacked in Chang'an. However, it is still unknown whether they can break through the Ba Bridge east of Chang'an, so their journey has become the key.

Next to the official road were scattered villages and manors. Even though the Zhou cavalry was very active, it caused dogs to bark in the village, and no one dared to show up and see. The outline of Chang'an City appeared vaguely in front of them, and the towering city walls were like a mountain range in front of them.

Chang'an is right in front of you!

"Stop!! It's here!"

The leading cavalry suddenly slowed down, and a series of cavalry behind him stopped. When the first person took out a piece of paper, he looked at it in the light of a torch. There was a scene on the paper, which was somewhat similar to that in front of him.

On the left side of the road is a small independent courtyard, which looks a bit out of place from other houses in the village. The cavalry got off the horse and looked carefully in front of the courtyard gate with the light of fire.

A peach talisman was hung on the left side of the gate, with a strange symbol engraved on it. The soldier looked at the symbols drawn in a corner of the paper, and the two were exactly the same.

According to the paper, the soldier slapped the door with a frequency of three long and one short. A moment later, a man opened the door. Seeing the piece of paper presented by the soldier, he immediately said, "It's finally here."

"Shut off the engine, hurry up!"

Amid a series of barking around, Zhou Bing dismounted one after another, leaving some people to watch the horses, and the rest entered the yard. The man led the man to the side room and moved a water tank away, revealing a dark tunnel opening.

Seeing that it was indeed as the commander said, there was an authenticity here, the Zhou soldiers couldn't help but look happy. The man was about to lead the person in, but the general asked, "How long will it take to go?"

"For the first person, it will take nearly one stick of incense. If everyone arrives, at least four sticks of incense will be there."

"Do you have any fragrance here?"

"have.

”

The general handed over the few incense sticks handed over by the man to the left-behind soldiers: "Now start to dot one by one, and the fifth incense stick is halfway through, send a signal."

"yes!"

The man explained: "The Sui army set up a ground near the city wall, and there were people on duty day and night, so we must keep quiet in the tunnel."

"knew."

Light a torch, the man entered the tunnel, and Zhou soldiers entered one after another. Except for some left-behind soldiers, a team of hundreds of people disappeared into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, several left-behind soldiers set up a few bamboo tubes, lit a stick of incense, and waited for the fifth incense to burn halfway through the fire.

A moment later, the harsh gong sounded, which was the village soldiers on duty in the village who mustered up the courage to beat the gong to report the enemy situation to the Chang'an defenders. The left-behind Zhou soldiers immediately rushed to the place where the gong sounded.

In the tunnel, the group of people walked forward quickly. What surprised the Zhou army soldiers was that the tunnel did not look like it was newly dug, which allowed a person to straighten his body and pass through it. There were planks on the top and sides, which showed that it took a lot of effort.

What is even more surprising is that there is light every distance, and the light source is actually night pearls. Although the distance is very long, the accumulated number is also quite large.

This made many people's eyes widen. If Ye Mingzhu hadn't been placed in a small iron cage, someone would have wanted to "take the ball with her hands".

"This...Ye Mingzhu has always been placed in the tunnel?"

"No, we only released it when we learned that the official army had broken through Lantian Pass early this morning."

We, these two words, reveal some information, but if you think about it, you can know that this scale of authenticity cannot be completed by one or two people overnight. However, it is a bit narrower. It seems that it was originally used for emergency escape, otherwise the main force could enter the city from here.

As vanguards, these Zhou soldiers have put their lives and death aside. Since the coach has arranged it in advance, the chance of success is much higher and their confidence is even greater.

The tunnel was straight, but the air was turbid. I don’t know how long I walked, a wall appeared in front of me, and the tunnel also tilted downwards. I saw bricks and stones supporting the wall. The general of Zhou army wondered if this was the southern city wall of Chang'an?

"There is the city wall above. I originally wanted to use the Sky Thunder to raise a coffin to make a fortune, but the Chang'an area is very tightly responsible for all kinds of medicinal materials. If you purchase more than a certain amount, someone will have to protect it and track down the amount. I really can't make enough Sky Thunder."

"So that's it. Can this tunnel lead to the bottom of the palace?"

"No, there was water seeping out of that area underground, and then I set up a ground to hear that I couldn't dig it."

"Then are you afraid of being noticed by the ground near the city wall?"

"This tunnel has been dug for a long time."

The general was surprised when he heard this: This tunnel had been dug long ago? It seems to be used to escape?

After finally getting around the wall, the generals thought that if they wanted to step on such a thick wall, they would probably use thunder to bombard the sky. With their light-speeding state, they really couldn't transport so many thunders.

Continue to move forward and finally come to the end. The leading man pulled a rope hanging beside the earth wall, and after a moment, the upper floor was moved away.

The group came out of the tunnel. Several men in civilians were waiting for a long time. Several Zhou Bings left the door, breathing the fresh air that had been missing for a long time, and found that they were in a large mansion.

Looking up, there were houses around it. It seemed that they had successfully entered Chang'an City. There were noises coming from many places in the city, as if someone was fighting.

The soldiers kept quiet and entered each room to wait. Several generals looked at a map in the fire. The man in a civilian pointed and whispered something.

Soldiers kept coming out of the tunnel entrance, and the rooms in the yard were gradually crowded with people. Just as the front and back yards were almost full, a whistling sound came from the south. The people in the yard looked up and saw several balls of fire flying into the sky, blooming with brilliant red, dyeing the snowy night into a bloody night.
