Chapter 1239
The intersection of the third section of Yingbin Avenue is the most important pass in the entire North City area. The Imperial Guard easily seized this key point from the First Division during the first charge. From here, you can directly penetrate into the hinterland of the North City, go east to enter the old city with small trails, and go south to the south to reach the imperial city along the wide Guifei Avenue, which is crucial. However, the Fifth Division of the Imperial Guard who had just had time to control it even before he even had time to take a breath, the counterattack of the city guards surged.
No one had ever thought that the two guards of the Empire would stage a life-and-death battle in the imperial capital when the Empire was about to overthrow. Yi Xuetao was a relatively cautious person. When he seized this critical pass, he keenly realized that this might become a focus. If he was an enemy general, he would control the place first, but once he controlled it, he would block the key to going south. The intersection is surrounded by large workshop buildings, and the entire northern city area is an important industrial area, which is no exception. After controlling this place, Yi Xuetao immediately ordered his crossbowmen to quickly seize the commanding heights around, try to expand the control range, and prevent the enemy from attacking him from being caught off guard.
Yi Xuetao's prudence played a considerable role. After taking control from the First Division, the City Guard rushed down fiercely to the south. Only by rushing into the center of the city could he truly control the situation in the imperial capital. This is what everyone understands. The officers and soldiers were even fantasizing about what kind of treatment they would enjoy once they control the imperial capital.
A group of black soldiers rushed along the Guifei Avenue, and even the streets and alleys on both sides of the Guifei Avenue were filled with soldiers of the City Guards who were rushing south. At this time, Yusufu realized that he was too overestimating his ability to control the troops. He found that what he could control now was the division commanders of various divisions, and the division commanders seemed to have completely lost control of the soldiers below him. They only received one order, which was to clear all obstacles and control the imperial capital.
During the Imperial Concubine Avenue, the ninth emperor of the Tanghe Empire specially named a north-south main road that he wanted to be a concubine he loved the most. The wide street was equipped with eight carriages in parallel without being crowded. Most of the streets were semi-processing workshops in front and back shops, and it was also the most important main road in the North City. The imperial capital was particularly developed, cotton textile, forging, processing and other industries were concentrated in this area.
There are several parallel alleys on both sides of the Guifei Avenue, but these alleys are much more twists and narrow, which is not conducive to the advancement of the army. Therefore, the Guifei Avenue naturally became the main channel for the city guards to move south. After Yi Xuetao controlled this important entrance, he quickly made a defensive arrangement. The commander of the army clearly told him his mission, and there was nothing else, just to block any army such as the Northern Army or the City Guards who were trying to move south, prevent the chaos from spreading to the central urban area and other urban areas, and limit the possible chaos to the northern urban area. At the very least, the central urban area and the southeast area must be preserved. This is the real essence of the imperial capital.
An extremely fierce battle immediately broke out at the intersection of Yingbin Avenue and Guifei Street. When the densely packed soldiers of the city guards howled and pressed down, Yi Xuetao's deployment had not even been in place. All kinds of debris vehicles had just been pushed to the center of the street and had not been neatly arranged, and the city guards had already rushed up. Fortunately, the crossbowmen who had already climbed on both sides of the street played a preemptive role at this time. The street that had already extended hundreds of meters northward was covered with crossbows, almost locking the entire street. The dense rain of arrows immediately made the city guards who had been burned red by desire to clear their minds. Only then did they realize that in order to achieve their goal, they still needed to cross the bodies of the imperial guards who had once stood with them.
At this time, the two sides had no friendship at all. To achieve their own goals, they had to step on each other's corpse and fight to the death.
The crossbowmen arranged by Yi Xuetao gave the city guard a sharp baptism. The arrow formation arranged in a staircase made the city guards the best target in the dark. I don’t know where the arrow rain comes from, and it is densely crowded together, and there is almost no aim. All of this unfolds. Except for the bloody breath floating in the air, mixed with screams one after another, the entire Guifei Street has become a Shura slaughterhouse.
Blood always brings people rationality and soberness. The City Guards, who have emerged from the sea of corpses and blood, soon woke up from this stick. The crossbowmen arranged by the Imperial Guards on both sides of the street had to start shrinking. The soldiers of the City Guards had already rushed up along both sides of the street. Only by solving these damn assassins can they move forward with confidence and boldness.
As the crossbowmen retreated, the infantrymen on both sides immediately intertwined together, without any unnecessary nonsense. On the one hand, they wanted to use this battle to gain capital to escape, and on the other hand, they wanted to defend their homes from infringement. Both sides had no choice. The brave ones won when they met on a narrow road. The wide road of imperial concubines seemed too narrow at this time. Two black waves hit head-on, blooming endless dark red blood flowers.
This is just a microcosm of the entire North City. In the entire North City, the city guards swarmed in from the north gate have squeezed into the city without reservation. The entire North City is already a sea of soldiers, full of the collision of leather boots and armor, and various accents are filled with the sound of orders issued in various accents. The soldiers entered their respective combat posts under the orders of their respective direct superiors. The entire city guard and the imperial guards have all come out in full swing, without any reservation. Yusufu knew that if he could not defeat the imperial guards, the final outcome of trapping the imperial guards in this North City would be to wipe out the Western Army, which might soon arrive, without any mercy. Ma Yuanzeng also knew that the gang of crazy people had already broken through their blockade line, the imperial capital that had lost control would become a naked lamb in front of these soldiers who had lost their minds.
Bayinzhuo has never faced such a difficult problem. He and Zhebu were ordered to lurk in this area. The purpose is very simple, which is to completely solve the First Division of Tielongping. The First Division of Tielongping is known as the First Division in the World. Its combat effectiveness is sufficient. Moreover, the light and heavy divisions of this division are evenly matched, and both attack and defense are excellent. It has always been the focus of Situ Tai's full support. Even Cui Wenxiu dared not underestimate the high combat power, so he decided to let himself and Zhebu sway in this area to prevent the First Division from slipping back to Cangzhou from here.
This is a task that is not easy to grasp. It is impossible to let the First Division realize that its two corpses are ambushing here, avoiding being alerted, and not being too far away to prevent the First Division from slipping through the gaps between the two corpses. Fortunately, the two Rangers have such a large-scale force after all. Although the southern part of Cangzhou is vast, a team of ten thousand people, as an attacking unit, can still entangle the opponent even if it cannot take advantage for a while.
However, Bayinzhuo did not expect that when encountering such a problem, Tielongping actually opened the North Gate of the Imperial Capital and let the guards enter the capital. This is an extraordinary event. Although Cui Shuai did not explicitly ask him to inquire about the affairs of the Imperial Capital, he still reminded himself to pay close attention to the changes in the situation in the Imperial Capital and to make necessary temporary solutions according to the changes in the situation. So is it time for the current situation to be dealt with decisively?
But at this time, there was no time for me to consider more. Ma Yuan sent a call for help in all directions. Logically speaking, he should have asked for help from the nearest Jinzhong and Luyang first. But perhaps because he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, this guy actually sent a letter of help to the northern cluster headquarters in the direction of Qinghe. Otherwise, he would not have been encountered by his own group of rangers who had been wandering on the edge of the imperial capital.
If there was no news that Zhebu's 10,000-man team was wandering in this area, Bayinzhuo might have to hesitate whether to rush into the imperial capital. After all, their main task was to wipe out the First Division, and they must not let the First Division escape. However, after knowing that Zhebu's 10,000-man team was right beside him, Bayinzhuo immediately made up his mind. His First Ranger Regiment and the Second Ranger Regiment had division of labor in the battle of the First Division, which was preparing to ambush the Iron Plate. The Three Ten Thousand Cavalry Team of the Second Ranger Regiment were divided into three guerrilla clusters, responsible for discovering and finding and blocking the First Division. His First Ranger Regiment was the main force of attacking the Second Ranger Regiment, and kept in touch at any time. Once there was a situation, he could launch an attack immediately. In this way, he could not only discover the First Division in time, but also launch an offensive in the shortest time, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a thing.
