The last three kingdoms

Chapter 431 Fierce Street Fighting

In addition to the first wave, the Shu army invested in the three battalions of Yang'an, Wudangzuo, and Wudangyou, and then invested in the Hubu Left Battalion and Hubu Right Battalion. It can be said that the Shu Army invested in the initial offensive. With a force of 5000, all [-] rushed in from the gap in the southern city wall, forming an unstoppable torrent.

Hu Shi led hundreds of people to rush up, and soon he found sadly that his actions were nothing more than a mantis arm, how could he resist the wolf-like tiger attack of the Shu army with only such a small force.Knowing that nothing could be done, Hu Shi had no choice but to give up his attempt to intercept, was defeated in despair, and led the remnants to withdraw in the direction of Changle Palace.

After Zhang Le entered the city, he couldn't hold back his excitement, danced and danced happily. Chang'an, you must know that this was the first big city in the true sense conquered by the Shu army. In order to achieve this goal, the Shu Han has gone through generations of unremitting efforts. Efforts have been made, but for more than forty years, this goal has been elusive.

But today, Zhang Le took the lead in attacking Chang'an City, fulfilling the dreams of several generations of Shu people, and Zhang Le was the first to set foot in Chang'an City. This pride and glory is enough to give him a bragging point for the rest of his life Capital.Look, did you see that Chang'an City was captured by your Lord Zhang first, and this banner of restoring the Han Dynasty was also carried by your Lord Zhang alone.Bull or not?Thinking of this, Zhang Le couldn't help laughing.

However, for the Shu army, the battle was far from over. In the city of Chang'an, there were still more than 4 Wei soldiers of Sima Wang.Therefore, Zhang Le's celebration was just enough. He, together with Zhao Zhuo, who then entered the city, led the army to advance into the city of Chang'an.

Although Chang'an City is only the imperial city of the former Han Dynasty, since the Later Han Dynasty, until Cao Wei, the palaces of Chang'an City have been well preserved as a companion capital.

The palaces in Chang'an City include Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace, Beigong Palace, and Mingguang Palace. As for Jianzhang Palace, it is located in the western suburbs of Chang'an, so it obviously cannot be counted in the city.The palaces in Chang'an City are divided into two parts. Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are located in the south of the city, while Gui Palace, Beigong Palace, and Mingguang Palace are located in the north of the city. These palace groups occupy almost half of Chang'an City. The Wei emperors of all dynasties rarely came to Chang'an, but these palaces in Chang'an City were properly protected. The tall palace walls and the majestic walls of Chang'an City complement each other, and they are the exterior and interior of each other.

When Hu Shipai retreated, he did not flee indiscriminately, but chose to flee to Changle Palace purposefully, preparing to gather the Wei army stationed in Changle Palace and build a corresponding line of defense to resist the attack of the Shu army.

The news of the loss of the southern city wall quickly spread in Chang'an City, and the Wei army in the south of the city also began to abandon their inherent positions and began to gather towards the gap.

The city wall was originally a defensive barrier of a city, but now there was an inexplicable big explosion, and the entire city wall collapsed, and the Shu army poured into the city along the gap. The Wei troops waiting on each section of the city wall withdrew from the city wall, and rushed forward one after another to prevent the Shu army from attacking.

The troops guarding Chang'an were one of the most elite troops under Sima Wang's command. They did not become disorganized because of the fall of the southern city wall. ranks.

The Wei generals in the east and west of the city were shocked when they heard the news of the fall of Nancheng.

Soon, the Wei army had the advantage in numbers again, and the two sides launched fierce street fighting in the south of the city.

Liu Yin was not dazzled by the huge victory. Not only did he not capture Sima Wang's head, Chang'an City was not taken down. Now the resistance encountered by the Shu army after entering the city is a normal phenomenon. After all, it is Sima Wang. The elite teacher who hopes to save all the fruits will never collapse easily.

The street fighting was going on intensely in the southern city of Chang'an. Even if the Shu army wanted to advance a step, they would have to pay a high price.

Street fighting was originally a form of fighting in the most chaotic state. Most of the streets and alleys in the city were narrow. Wei Jun, who was familiar with the geographical situation of Chang'an City, did not lose his position just because their commander-in-chief was still in Beicheng. The buildings in the city blocked the Shu army everywhere.

Now the Shu army has invested [-] infantry, which is already the limit of the Shu army's ability to invest in infantry, and the city wall at the gap collapsed.The piles of earth and rocks on the original city wall were at least one or two feet high. The infantry could climb up the ruins, but the same road could not mobilize the cavalry troops into the city.

Liu Yin immediately ordered Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo to send troops to attack Bacheng Gate in the east of the city and Zhangcheng Gate in the west of the city. condition.

Together with Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo, and Ma Rong, Zhang Le led most of the troops from the Yang'an Camp to advance towards the Bacheng Gate in the east, and Zhao Zhuo led the Wudang Left Camp to advance to the Zhangcheng Gate in the west. Lead the Wudang Right Battalion to fight in the south of the city, and together with the Hubu Zuo Battalion and Hubu Right Battalion who came later as reinforcements, advance towards the Weiyang Palace of Changle Palace to eliminate the enemies in the city.

The left and right battalions of tiger cavalry outside the city are concentrated outside the Bacheng Gate in the east, while Yao Yikang's [-] Qiang cavalry are concentrated outside the Zhangcheng Gate in the west. After all, siege is not the strong point of the cavalry. , These cavalry really feel like a dog biting a hedgehog, with nowhere to go.

Fortunately, Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo slashed and killed in the city, and cut a bloody path in the chaos, and killed them at Bacheng Gate and Zhangcheng Gate respectively.

Regardless of the defense of that city, the external enemy is weak inside. After all, the city wall is external rather than internal. Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo went to Bacheng Gate and Zhangcheng Gate and easily broke through the defenders' barriers. Defend, kill and disperse the Wei soldiers, and open the city gate.

The Tiger Cavalry Battalion entered the Bacheng Gate first, and the Qiang Cavalry also entered the Zhangcheng Gate. With the addition of these two new forces, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Shu Army. Central China is not a stage for field cavalry to gallop freely, but the impact of the powerful cavalry on the Wei army cannot be ignored. Under the coordinated operations of the Shu army's infantry and cavalry, Wei's army has been retreating steadily. The line of defense is already on the verge of collapse.
