Chapter 729 Hearing from afar
Near the walls of Nanguo City in Chang'an, something suddenly squirmed under the ruins of the arrow tower, and then stretched out an arm full of filth and blood stains. Then he pulled away the rubble fragments pressing on his head, and then he barely squirmed and popped up a head with a dusty face.
Amid the familiar whistles and horns of Zuojin, Wang Qiu, who thought he would die, felt that he would suddenly come alive; this was really not easy. You should know that they had already resisted the official army's attacks in three days and three nights on the corner of this city tower without closing their eyes.
Some soldiers were too tired and were almost running around and fighting. The moment they had their weapons or tools, they were fighting with each other, and they were shouting and fighting. The next moment they relaxed and fell head-on on the ground, and they could no longer stand up without warning. Therefore, they retreated again and again, and their comrades around them changed one after another.
Now, except for Wang Qiu, the old captain Chen Guanshui, who always spoke dirty jokes and vowed to take him to Pingkangli as a person who had experienced it, and had a good experience with the glory of the three songs of the north and south, and now he is no longer there. Because he fell at the last moment after the reinforcements arrived.
When they retreated to this Arrow Tower stronghold, the swords and guns broke and rolled, the arrows were used up, and the crossbows were smashed, Chen Guanshui used his last little force to knock down and saw off most of the last support of the Arrow Tower, and buried himself and more than a dozen officers and soldiers as a temporary burial place.
Then he was sent out for help on the grounds that he had not seen many women yet. Then, after walking a distance, he thought something was wrong. Wang Qiu, who turned around and wanted to come to rescue, was instantly knocked out by an unknown object that affected the fish in the pond. However, he escaped the search and killing of the officials after they came up.
But after escaping from death, listening to the familiar trumpets and whistles from far and near, Wang Qiu suddenly wanted to cry out loudly as a memorial service, but found that the corners of his eyes and lips were dry and split, and he could not squeeze out many tears and mouths. When he opened his mouth, he could only smell the sour and fishy smell of the mouth, which made him unable to make any sound he wanted.
He was half buried in the ruins and waited for a while before he could move his footsteps and voices toward him; soon as the figure in the blue-gray robe kept shaking in his vision, Wang Qiu was dragged out by someone for the last bit of fatigue, and someone shouted loudly:
"Medical Soldier, there's still someone to breathe..."
Then he put a pot of sweet tea soup like a rain to his mouth, and was swallowed greedily and poured it in. Suddenly, a sore and swelling air that was blocked in his chest suddenly vomited out with many fine blocked blood, and became much more open and clear. Only then could Wang Qiu try his best to pronounce a few words:
"Under...under...and..."
Not long after, Wang Qiu, who was placed on a clamp stick, was carried across the street and sent to the rear to resettlement, also vaguely saw the gun flags that were pouring out from the city gate and quickly flooding the streets and alleys. Then, amid the sound of long and short trumpets that were urging to attack, he stood up in a panic, trying to join them, but fell to the ground with a heavy blow.
However, this huge change in the south of Chang'an City was a bad news for the official army camp to take a sudden turn. Especially as the Yiwu Army envoy who was eager to commit crimes and make meritorious service in front of the formation, Wang Chuzhi was attacked by the light cannon ambushed in it when he led the way to attack the inside of Qixia Gate.
The result was that Wang Chuzhi, who was clamoring for a fierce battle, was beaten and torn into many flesh and blood indistinguishable pieces of each other in an instant in front of everyone. The remaining officials and infantry teams following him were even more frightened and rushed to retreat.
When the Hedong Army, who was in charge of the formation, intercepted them and killed dozens of generals and escaped at the last minute, they thought that the police officers were solemnly reorganized their remnants and drove them back. However, after such delay and retreat, they found that the Taiping thieves who had rushed in from Qixia Gate were recaptured and set up the formation.
Then, as more and more dense firearms continued to be put into use from the city, under the city and the city gates. The follow-up offensive organized by the government army on the long street opposite Qixiamen was also shattered and defeated again and again, becoming increasingly weak and weak.
Then, these Taiping Army, who succeeded in counterattacking in Qixiamen, did not satisfy and remained at the status quo. Following the gaps and voids of defense left by the official army when the counterattack failed to retreat, they divided the new force with Wang Yanzhang as the leading leader and attacked the front line of Mingdemen in Wang Zhonglu.
As a result, the Zhongwu Army, Shence Army, Taining Army, and the three guest troops, as well as the Zhaoyi Army who were fighting fiercely at Mingde Gate, were cut off by a sudden blow;
As a result, the troops of these government troops were not in good condition for a while, and with the double-team fight between the new forces from inside and outside Mingde Gate, they were easily disrupted by the original cooperation and coordination, and became a chaotic situation of fighting on their own;
Then, Meng Qian, the deputy envoy of Zhaoyi Army who came forward to respond, was killed by the cannon on the spot. The soldiers under his command retreated along the Suzaku Long Street in horror, and eventually turned into a major chaos in which the three guest troops rushed to break through.
Therefore, Shi Keji, the Fengzhou defense commander who was fighting continuously in Guanghua Gate, and his Tiande Army under him also saw the opportunity. Before the reinforcements from Mingde Gate and Qixia Gate came together to attack and attack. Without hesitation, the Zhenwu Army, which was fighting in concert, left behind and retreated regardless of the losses.
As a result, Qi Zixin, the military envoy in front of the Zhenwu Army (son of Jiedushi Qi Zizhang), and more than a thousand Zhenwu soldiers, were besieged on the spot. They fought hard to wait for assistance and were killed and injured until half of the time until dark before giving up completely and began to flee in all directions; Qi Zixin was also injured and captured by muskets.
Therefore, through several days of repeated offensives and hard battles, the government army advanced to the city walls of the Nanguo, Chang'an. In a short time, the new forces from outside the city lost all their losses quickly under the counterattack of the new forces, and then retreated back to several cities before the fire, and the initial attack starting line was arranged.
When the commander of the camp Cui Anqian got the news and stood back at Danfeng Gate to supervise the battle, he could only see the official army flags that were rolling back like a tide in the fireworks. He couldn't help but break the third hand-held whisk and roared at the left and right:
"Why is this the situation? Why are the official army's spies and prosecutors in the south of the city? Why no one responded or reported in time!!!"
"Where are the Fanluo army of Shatuo and Dangxiang? Are Tuoba Sigong and Zhu Xieyisheng all dead people who are ignored by the enemy?"
