“Preparing for war…”

Li Cunxian, who came to his senses, wanted to neigh and shout, but because he was filled with the smell of dust, he had only had time to spit out two words and lost his voice for a while. Most of the people near him didn't know where to go, leaving only dozens of dirty-faced soldiers surrounded him.

However, he could no longer make a sound, without hesitation, pulled out his sword and rushed towards the gap of the city wall that had been missing half of the pieces and was poured out of the collapsed pieces of soil to rush towards the gap of the city wall that was low and sloped;

Before he could run up and climb a few steps, his legs and feet were already trapped in the soft sand, and he had to grab a few traces and slide down; the next moment, he was helped up by his personal soldiers who followed him and stepped onto the slope again.

However, among the defenders running around on both sides of the gap at the city entrance, loud roars and uproars sounded violently again, and the trajectories that were bombarded by the bombardment. The city throw was hit and splashed and broke into the broken limbs and arms. There were many black spots, which suddenly threw in the whistling sound and rolled down to Li Cunxian.

"Be careful with the Lord..."

With the fierce exclaims and forceful pulls, Li Cunxian, who was still a little confused, rolled on the ground. He watched several personal soldiers blocking his side, and rolling into the ground in a loud bang of big smoke and trembling sounds.

Amid the violent explosions near the corner, Li Cunxian, who was also shocked by the air waves that were leaking from his face, raised his head again, and could only see that the remaining personal soldiers had become scattered, and fell to the ground one after another to fade out of large pieces of blood, and struggled to no longer get up.

The next moment, Li Cunxian, who was still buzzing in his ears, seemed to hear some sharp and marked whistle; and in the morning light that shone into the city, they roared with signs and guns at the gap in the city wall, and those blue-gray figures with helmets and armors were whistling.

Li Cunxian just wanted to find his fallen sword, but then he was trampled by the enemy troops who rushed down like a surging tide on the top of the slope and stepped on it for countless feet, and then he fainted completely with blood spray from his mouth.

When Li Sizhao (Han Jintong), who was wearing armor and waiting for the plane in nearby Ximenyue City, got the news, he looked at each other in shock, but pretended to be calm and laughed:

"It's just right. The city has long been laid out in the heavy walls. It is time for the thief army to learn how to fight with the children of Hedong every step of the way..."

However, the subsequent battles were again unexpected to most people; because most of the arrangements of the defenders in the city were carried out around the six city gates, east, west, south, and north; and because the western wall was only narrow and long adjacent to the Fen River, it invested the least garrison force.

As a result, the Taiping Army, which quickly poured into the city from the gap, defeated the defenders who rushed to reinforce from all directions in the relatively narrow street battles up and down the city walls with swords, spears, muskets and grenades. They also defeated the defense line that had been arranged on the inside of the west gate from the rear of the side that was lacking in defense.

When Li Sizhao (Han Jintong) personally led the left and right Yaneidu in heavy armor to fight and successfully blocked it with a strong bow and crossbow on the top of the city and a big-name spear. He was about to shout and push it back.

The next moment, there were two loud noises one after another, and two gaps of varying sizes collapsed near the gates of North and East City. And more Taiping soldiers flocked into the collapsed natural gentle slopes;

This time, the defenders who were obviously missing each other and could no longer maintain basic order and morale. They began to flee from the city walls and the preset defense line on the inside in amid the uproar of wavering and chaos.

Although, later, the Houya Duke Yu Hou, Li Cunzhi, who rushed out of the inner city, led a leisurely new force to support him; but after killing hundreds of deserters in succession, it was still difficult to restore the declining situation in the east of the city.

On the contrary, the defeated soldiers who were rushing into the city yard were rushing to retreat like a tide under the bombardment of Taiping munitions. Then they were shot near the flag by a cannon that stretched across the city wall. After jumping in the street, several people were smashed and then broken the flagpole.

Therefore, the reserve team and new force, which lost the guidance and backbone of the flag, was unable to be the panic of the army, and Li Cunzhi himself was forced to turn around without hesitation and retreated back to the inner city to continue to "stay".

The defenders located in the north city were even more unbearable because their commander, Kuang Ba Army, led a group of generals and soldiers, just walked to the vicinity of the broken city wall, and were injured by the rocks. They died of blood on the spot.

Therefore, the remaining survivors will be without a leader and will do their own things; some will lead their troops into the gap to block them, and some will run down the city tower and quickly retreat to the inner fortifications; but more defenders will run around without anyone's restraint.

Therefore, the Taiping Army engineers who rushed into the North Gate Tower easily blasted the city gate that was nailed from the inside, and almost no obstacles broke through the Moon City (small city) on the inside, and attacked the soldiers with the comrades who broke into the city at the gap in the inner wall defense line...

Under the rising sun, the Taiping Army rushed into the city with fireworks, and new movements finally appeared in the sky with the continuous mountains in the distance. It was the Yindi Pass in the north, led by Li Siyuan, who was late to come.

While chasing and exploring the Taiping Army's ranger's whistle, they tried every means to dodge and deal with each other and release all kinds of false news; they thought they were hiding the main cavalry; now they finally waited for the most suitable fighter jet in their minds.

As the saying goes, tens of thousands of defenders in Linfen City are used as pawns and bait. When the bandit army is about to break through the city and go all out, it suddenly attacks to attack more than half of them, and force them to take the side and back so that the head and tail cannot be looked at each other. This is the biggest chance of victory.

Therefore, I saw countless people trotting around the mountains and fields. The smoke that was exhaled for a while was even above my head, condensed into a thick and undispersed low-pressure cloud of smoke. Even the whistling mountain wind in the fields could not be blown away; and as the first sun shining on the armor, many shining spots appeared.

Looking at the several fireworks of different colors rising on the low mounds in the distance; Meng Kai, the deputy general who was responsible for the Central Army in the north of the city, was the first to be attacked, was worthy of being the old general who had been fighting in adversity and in the disadvantages for a long time. He was surprised but not surprised and shouted:

"At four points in the north, a large group of enemy cavalry rushed over, with a scale of more than 10,000..."

"All the living mouths that can move will follow me to fight against the enemy. If you die, you will not retreat. You should start from me."

"The surprise troops went out to the edge to restrain the enemy, re-align the formation for the artillery regiment, and try to gain time;"

"The gun soldiers are waiting to be launched, the white soldiers are licensed into the trench, and the grenadiers are lined up in the second line... The civilians build inner walls and fortifications, and auxiliary soldiers transport equipment, preparing for corresponding impacts..."

For the Taiping Army, the biggest test and challenge after heading north to attack Hedong was about to break out at this moment.

——I am the dividing line—

In Chang'an City, a trend of internal purging is still in progress. As all kinds of people and problems are constantly being implicated, the spies and spies from various forces (mainly the Kanto region) are also swept out by the disaster.

The reason is also very simple. After two wars within the pass, the official army and the rebel army were over and over again, and there were almost no spies or spies who could survive the fierce attacks and massacres, as well as subsequent famines and disasters and continue to play a role.

Therefore, what has been cleared out now is almost the result of the Taiping Army re-sent in various identities after entering Chang'an, or lurking among immigrants and filling households; therefore, they cannot escape the Taiping Army's household registration and management system in any case.

Therefore, once this system is launched at any cost, those who usually have suspicious signs or have suspected strangers in their homes will easily be placed on the table.

Although there are many false alarms and false recognitions, or some people are over-indignant and gossiping, secretly suspicion, or even purely false accusations; but more often they can still be alarmed and various large and small fish and shrimps are blown out from under the water.
