Chapter 796 City Gate
The black sky gradually fell, and the people in the city fell asleep early.In this chaotic situation, they have nothing to do at home, instead they have to worry all the time, so they might as well rest early.

However, in the vast city of Chang'an, there will always be some people tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night.And the undercurrents hidden under the night sky seemed to be on the verge of erupting.

Countless torches were lit up, illuminating the night outside Chang'an City as bright as day.

On the wall of the west city, Yang Lin felt his scalp tingling as he watched the Jin army lined up neatly outside the city.During the day today, the Jin army uncharacteristically did not attack the city.Originally, Yang Lin thought he could stop for a while, but he never imagined that the Jin army would attack the city at night.

In the siege battle, the night vision ability of the soldiers is limited, which is not conducive to finding out the defenses on the city. They can't see anything. How can they hide?
And the soldiers below the city were frightened by the bright torches that burned, and they didn't know how long they would have to fight to end this war of attrition.

Another reason is that in ancient wars, the needs of soldiers were arranged according to the degree of urgency. Before going to bed, they were tired after a day. Who wouldn’t want to sleep well?

Therefore, it is not suitable for siege at night.But the more this was the case, the more Yang Lin felt that there was some kind of plot by the Jin army, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more intense.

Moreover, tonight is different from the Jin army attacking on three sides in the past, only the west city gate where he is located is about to face attack.The other gates, although the same large army was assembled, were only used as a deterrent, and they did not directly engage in serious actions like his side.

"Attack!" Bai Qi gave an order, tens of thousands of troops set out, even Jia Fu, Luo Ren, Luo Cheng, Kuafu and other generals also mixed in the army and launched an attack with the army.

"Ding, Bai Qi's Wu'an skill effect is activated three times, greatly increasing the military strength, morale, and speed of the entire army..."

"Ding, once the effect of Baiqi Rentu's skill is activated, the force of all enemies will be reduced by 1, and the current force of Yang Lin will drop to...,
Hou Qing's military force dropped to...

......"

"The whole army listens to the order and prepares!" Yang Lin held up the long sword in his hand, and when the long sword in his hand fell down, it was the time when thousands of arrows were fired from the city wall.

"Let go!" Following Yang Lin's order, on the walls of Chang'an City, thousands of archers held their bows like a full moon. With just one round of attack, thousands of arrows were shot at once, turning into a rain of arrows. In the position of the Jin army, but the Jin army has long been prepared for this.

The Jin army, who had been prepared for a long time, erected giant shields one after another, forming a shield wall, blocking most of the arrows coming from the air. Only a few soldiers who were too late to erect the shield were unfortunately killed by the Sui army. shoot dead.

After the Jin army built the defensive means by the shield soldiers, a large number of archers immediately emerged from the rear, hiding behind the shields, and shooting at the defenders on the tower.

In addition to the archers, the siege equipment of the Jin army, such as catapults, well rails, and bed crossbows, also once again showed their power as always.However, after all, they were still fighting at night. Whether it was the Sui army or the Jin army, the accuracy of their long-range attack methods was much worse.

Outside the city, the battle between the Jin army and the Sui army was extremely fierce at this time, but at this time inside the city, a turbulent event that had been brewing for a long time was finally about to begin.

"Brothers, give it to me!" Two hundred soldiers wearing Sui army uniforms suddenly rushed towards the gate of the city. They were part of the aristocratic family soldiers captured by Yang Jian before.Yang Jian's grasp of these clan soldiers is still in place, and several aristocratic families in Chang'an City worked together to only control these 200 people again!

And in some houses or shops around the west city gate, another [-] people with steel knives rushed out.Together with the two hundred soldiers, they attacked the Sui army at the city gate together.

As I said before, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Although Yang Jian has strictly ordered the soldiers of the aristocratic families to be confiscated, the various aristocratic families are not fuel-efficient lamps. Although they dare not resist on the surface, they all pretend to be slaves The method retained a small part of the clan soldiers.

These aristocratic families were quite capable, so they hid the small group of soldiers they kept near the west city gate without making a sound, making sufficient preparations for this scene tonight.

"Defense, don't let the enemy approach the city gate!" Wei Chenghu shouted, commanding the [-] elite soldiers under his command to form a defensive formation around the city gate.

The old Huadao general Wei Cheng was indeed mature and prudent, when suddenly faced with a sudden change, he chose the safest method at the first time, did not underestimate the enemy at all, and took the defense of the city gate as his first priority.

Moreover, in order to prevent accidents, Wei Cheng immediately sent someone to ask Lao Yang Lin on the city wall for help.

However, Wei Cheng was guarding the city gate, while Yang Lin was right on the city wall.There was a surprise attack outside the city gate, how could Yang Lin not notice it at all.

Therefore, before the soldiers sent by Wei Cheng to ask for help had even set foot on the city wall, Yang Lin had already ordered the lieutenants around him to dispatch [-] soldiers to prepare for the battle.

"General Yang, those aristocratic families have already started to attack, should the general also leave!" Not long after the soldiers of those aristocratic families launched an attack on the west gate, Mao received the news from his subordinates. Xiang hurriedly said to Yang Xuangan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mao, Xuangan will not disappoint you!" Yang Xuangan said slowly after sighing deeply in his heart.After all, from today onwards, he is afraid that he will completely part ways with the forces of the Sui army whom he has been loyal to before.Thinking of this, Yang Xuangan couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Tonight, whether it was Bai Qi's attack on the city, or the aristocratic family's sneak attack on the west city gate, it was just a suspicious formation to attract the attention of Yang Jian and the entire Sui army.

It was an attack on the city, and a sneak attack on the west gate. The formation of the Jin army seemed to be a posture of breaking the city in one fell swoop.When the battle in the west city attracted Yang Jian and the others' attention, if Yang Xuangan made another move at this time, his success rate would definitely increase greatly.

As for those aristocratic families, obviously, like Yang Xuangan and Qin Hui, they are the result of Mao Xiang's busy work during this time.

At this moment, even some people in Yang Jian's forces want to find a way to find a good next family as soon as possible, let alone these families who have never really relied on Yang Jian.

At this time, it was really normal for them to be persuaded by Mao Xiang to turn back against Yang Jian.

However, these aristocratic families have clearly been regarded as abandoned children by Mao Xiang, or as a bait to attract the attention of Chang'an City, so as to provide cover for Yang Xuangan's actions.
