The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 68 Light Cavalry Raid
Li Dingshan sits firmly in the middle army, in the distance, Li Dingshan's men and horses have rushed to the tower of Zhuquemen, fighting with the Yulin army defending the city.

There are still a steady stream of people climbing towards the city wall below the city, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before the city breaks.

"Get on the siege engine!"

Li Dingshan ordered.

The general situation of the Habayashi Army is over, now is a great time to break through the city gate and enter the imperial city!

The army retreated in an orderly manner, and Chong Yu Qianjin's siege vehicle drove out slowly, heading towards the Suzaku Gate.

On the city tower, Wen Zhehan chopped down a person who was approaching in front of him, and watched the siege vehicle crashing towards the city gate, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

Li Dingshan even moved out such a heavy siege weapon!
The fine iron fangs at the front end of the siege engine hit the city gate with a "crack", and the thick gate made a tooth-piercing creaking sound. The entire city wall felt a shake, and the city gate was even more crumbling.

The generals defending the city retreated in front of Wen Zhehan, guarding Wen Zhehan behind him, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness! We can't defend anymore! Let's retreat?!"

withdraw?
The imperial city is the last defense. Once the city wall is breached, where can they retreat?

The generals who defended the city did not understand this truth.

What he said about withdrawing was not just to give up the city, but to give up everything he had as a child of the royal family.

He was trying to persuade himself to escape!
"Your Highness! Keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

Seeing that Wen Zhehan didn't speak, the generals guarding the city persuaded him again, with an anxious look on their faces, "If you fall down here, you'll lose everything!"

Wen Zhehan was silent for a moment, but finally his heart sank, and his eyes were firm: "Set up the traffic barriers, and be sure to stop the siege vehicles at the Suzaku Gate!"

The generals guarding the city felt cold, but seeing Wen Zhehan's firm expression, he obviously planned to fight to the death at Suzaku Gate. The words of persuasion swirled around his mouth and swallowed again. .

The siege engine retreated three to five meters, and hit the city gate for the third time.

With a sound of "bang", the entire city gate was knocked and flew backwards.

The city gate fell heavily, but failed to hit the ground.

Through the gap in the door leaf, the soldiers who attacked the city saw that on the palace road behind the door, there were several solid wooden fences half a person's height and one person's thickness, which were full of giant spikes.

This is the traffic barrier specially designed to prevent the siege vehicles from breaking through the city, using their thick body to rampage in the city and become a big killer.

The siege vehicle is tall, but heavy, with many wheels and low. These thick and short barriers can just get stuck on the chassis of the siege vehicle, so as not to damage the wheels of the siege vehicle, so that the siege vehicle cannot move forward.

The siege engine is huge, and the wide palace road looks awkward even after a siege engine is crammed into it.

Since the siege vehicle could no longer move forward, and the wheels were stuck and could not retreat, the charging soldiers had to bypass the siege vehicle, but they were blocked by several layers of vehicle barriers and the half-broken city. The door was blocked on the palace road.

The low traffic barriers were not enough to stop them from advancing, but it took some time to climb over the traffic barriers, not to mention that the archers who had been guarding the city wall retreated, and at this time they were aiming at the attacking attackers on the towers on both sides of the palace road. soldiers.

With heavy shields, low traffic barriers are enough for them to overturn.

The charging soldiers never expected that the vehicle barrier, which had no effect other than blocking the siege vehicles, would become a hurdle they could not overcome!

When the news was sent back to the Chinese army, Li Dingshan suddenly realized that he had made a common sense mistake.

He has fought in the frontier for decades, and he can't fight many siege battles. The siege engine has always been a siege weapon. Once it enters the city, it is almost invincible, and it will be pushed flat wherever it goes!
Even if they are blocked by traffic barriers, lose the protection of the city gates and walls, and soldiers rush in, the wide garrison field is the best slaughterhouse.

But he forgot that behind the gate of the imperial city, there is not a military field that is wide enough to train soldiers, but a palace road that can only accommodate four cars in parallel!
The palace road with four chariots running parallel to each other is not narrow, but after the siege chariots enough to occupy the width of three chariots are filled, it becomes extremely narrow.

Moreover, there are thick and tall palace walls on both sides of the palace road, and the car barriers are scattered all over the palace road. With archers defending, it is enough to prevent his people from breaking through for a while.

In this way, either those who climbed the city wall killed the archers, and the people under the city cleaned up or climbed over the traffic barriers to take a step closer to capture the imperial city;

But no matter which one it is, there is no doubt that it will take a long time.

This is not good news for Li Dingshan who is eager to win the imperial city, but right now he has no better way.

After all, he had been in the frontier for too long, and the inertial thinking formed made him suffer a lot!
Fortunately, even if it takes longer, he will definitely be able to take down the imperial city before Guo Youning's reinforcements arrive!

Thinking of this, Li Dingshan was not in a hurry again.

Steady progress right now is the best situation.

Li Dingshan thought so, but there was a sudden scream and wailing from behind.

Li Dingshan frowned and looked behind him, only to see that the soldiers of the rear army were in chaos.

"What's going on?!" Li Dingshan asked.

Before the words fell, a person hurriedly rushed over from the rear army, shouting loudly: "Report!"

When they got close, the messenger soldier knocked on one knee, clasped his fists and shouted: "Report to the Marshal! There are cavalry sneak attacks from the rear of our army!"

"what?!"

Li Dingshan couldn't believe his ears, "Where did they come from?!"

In this month, the troops he transferred from southern Xinjiang have also arrived in Beijing. Except for the Tianshuwei and Longyawei who went to intercept the Xiangyawei and the Black Bannerwei, his troops plus the hussars have a total of nearly 8 troops. [-] horses were divided into four groups to attack the four gates of Kangdu.

Although his army is mainly attacking the south gate, the soldiers and horses in the other three places are enough to hold back the guards at the gates, and they may even break the city and attack the imperial city together with the army!
Under the suppression of the absolute number of people, he should not have led the whole army into the city to attack.Camping in the outskirts of the city, sitting firmly in the barracks tent, giving orders and strategizing, is the best choice.

But Guo Youning's army has already started to return to help, and Xijiang and Dongjiang have also heard the news, so he can only fight with all his strength to send Wen Zhemao to the throne, so Xijiang and Dongjiang will naturally die down, and Guo Youning will be left alone, which will not make a difference!
And once Wen Zhemao came to the throne, as the biggest contributor to supporting him to the throne, he was still his uncle and grandpa from afar, and he dared not face it openly due to emotion and reason.

A new emperor with little power and unstable foundation, what's the difficulty in handling him?
The opportunity was so good that he couldn't miss it.

He thought that this matter was a certainty and an easy task, but he didn't expect to make mistakes repeatedly, and now there are even cavalry raiding the rear of his army!
Li Dingshan still couldn't figure it out, under such circumstances, how dare Wen Zhehan call out soldiers from other gates to support him?
How could he draw out soldiers to make a surprise attack? !
