Chapter 1290 Blow open the city gate

Arrows are constantly shooting down from the city wall, but the people below are also brave and fearless. They understand the current situation very well. If the city gate can be set alight from both inside and outside, then the chance of getting in will be greater.

What's more, even ordinary soldiers know that they don't have much food. Although they have obtained the support of the Tang Dynasty army in the north, if you don't have any results, the support of the Tang army will be cut off soon, and you people will also Just wait until you get hungry.

Nowadays, you are not ordinary people. If you were a deserter in the past, the most you could do was run away. But now you are all rebellious officials and traitors. No matter where you go, as long as someone reports you, you will be punished. Then the Piao court will pursue him to the end.

So in this case, they have no other way out. They can only follow General Mi Peng and kill them hard. They hope to overthrow the court, and then they will transform directly from rebellious ministers and traitors to meritorious ministers. .

A few barrels of lamp oil were thrown up, and then fire set the city gate on fire from the outside.

Although the weather was relatively humid during this period and it rained frequently, due to the lamp oil, the fire got out of control and burned directly from the bottom to the top.

"Hurry up and find a way to put out the fire."

The defenders on the city wall are also very anxious. If the city gate is opened, then these people will be punished with death first. In addition, the resistance just now was very fierce. Once the general rushes in, none of them can escape. , including family members, may be killed by the general.

Others don’t know why General Mi Peng wanted to rebel. After all, his family members were executed secretly, but these generals on the city wall all know very well that General Mi Peng’s family was executed by the court. If this general is allowed to Everyone who rushed in and had something to do with the imperial court was in trouble. He would definitely kill these people to pay homage to his family.

Although the people inside poured water one basin after another and extinguished the fire on the inside of the city gate, it was impossible to do so on the outside. Unless the people outside put out the fire and poured water down the city wall, they would not be able to pour water at all. On the gate.

"The cavalry is ready. The gate will become extremely fragile later. You can just rely on the charge of the horses to knock the gate down."

General Mi Peng said very happily, he knew very well how much this gate weighed, and who made it belong to the general in the city.

Now they only have less than 500 cavalry. This is all the horses they can collect. A large number of cavalry have been damaged on the battlefield. For a small country like theirs, it would be impossible to find another cavalry. Still difficult.

After burning about half a bag of cigarettes, the cavalry here was ready. The general gave the order, and the five hundred cavalry rushed out. According to their imagination, when these people rushed to the gate, they took advantage of the The impact force of the war horse should be able to directly collapse the door. After all, the inside and outside have been burned for a while, and the wood inside should be almost like dust.

Something depressing happened to them. After a large number of war horses rushed over, they all hit the gate. The gate still did not move. Instead, dozens of cavalry were shot to death, and the soldiers on the city wall were not idle either. Seeing you people coming on horseback, if they don't seize the opportunity to shoot you, then their brains will be filled with water.

"How is this possible? This door has been repaired for so many years. It has been bitten by insects. How come it can't be broken through after being burned by fire on both sides?"

Not only did the general feel strange, Wu Thein Sein next to him was also confused. Has this door been reinforced again? It's impossible. They used this gate when they went on the expedition. When many people saw this gate at that time, they felt that the court should allocate funds to repair it. Otherwise, how much would this gate be able to withstand when others attack? Where are the enemies?

"Keep pumping for me."

General Mi Peng can no longer control so much. Now he is standing on the edge of the cliff. Apart from this method, he can't think of any other method. Although doing so will cause many soldiers to lose their lives, there is no point in fighting. As for the immortals, as long as they win the final victory, who can remember to issue such an order today?

Although the cavalry behind them were unwilling, seeing that the archers had pointed their arrows at them intentionally or unintentionally, they could only get on their horses and continue to rely on the impact of their horses to attack the city gate.

About a few miles away from the general, Changsun Ze also led his people to watch all this.

"Let our people prepare and help them. Looking at what they are like now, they are at the end of their strength. If they can't kill them tonight, this army will probably cease to exist at dawn tomorrow."

After Chang Sunze's order was issued, his men immediately found two ballistae. In fact, they had already arrived around the capital, but there were not many people, only three or four hundred people.

Li Xiang didn't trust General Mi Peng at the beginning. After all, they were all defeated generals, and the assembled army was not elite enough. They might be able to find a way to attack the city, but if they really wanted to break in, damn it. They have no chance.

So Li Xiang ordered Chang Sunze to lead an elite team. If these people are really likely to break in, then find a way to help them. If they do things out of control, Chang Sunze and the others will kill themselves. There is no need to expose yourself while lurking, just wait here for the Tang army to come.

Now Changsun Ze can see very clearly that the people under the general are also capable of fighting. From the time they climbed to the city wall to kill them now, if they had not had any ability, they would have been wiped out long ago. Now as long as the city gate is opened for them , at least the entire royal city will be in chaos. As for the future, there is no use thinking about it so much. Let’s finish the immediate things first.

"All out of the way... all out of the way."

Changsun Ze rode his famous Turkic horse and waved the Tang army flag in his hand.

"Get out of the way."

There is no need to explain at this time. Although I don't know where this Tang army came from, the general knows this person. He must be a famous Tang general standing next to Li Xiang that day.

When he saw the two ballistas behind him, General Mi Peng finally understood what he was doing. He was going to help us blow open the city gate... (End of this chapter)
