Chapter 1341

With the order of the Tang Dynasty, fifty stone catapults successively fired stone bullets at the Yangcheng wall of Xi'an, and dozens of stone bullets flew away towards the wall. Although more than half of them fell inside and outside the wall, in each round, nearly 20 accurately fell on the wall, and each stone bullet smashed the wall to pieces.

In the Yangcheng city of Xi'an, behind the west gate tower, Zeng Sheng hid in the cangbing cave. From time to time, he leaned out and looked towards the south wall. From his position, he could see huge stone bullets falling from the sky and behind the wall. In a moment, he had heard several houses collapse under the attack of stone bullets.

What surprised him was that most of the Tang army's stone bullets were concentrated in the southwest corner of the city wall. On the contrary, only a few of them deviated from the location of the West Tower, which was the reason why he dared to go out to see the situation in the south.

When he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a bodyguard beside him saying, "why did the Tang army waste all the stone bombs on the southern wall instead of focusing on the tower and gate?"

"Who knows? Maybe the generals of the Tang army don't even know if they are mentally ill!" Another pro guard replied casually;

"I don't know who the general with the surname of Tang is outside..." Another one said,

"Tang..." Zeng Sheng didn't look back, but flashed an idea in his mind, thinking about which generals of the Tang family name were in the Tang army. You know, they were the most powerful generals in Zhang Liao's army. Therefore, Zhang Liao had told them about the main generals of the Tang army more than once.

Of course, these generals are mainly from Sizhou. The generals in Yanyu and Henan are not so clear. But Zeng Sheng clearly remembers that there seems to be no generals with the surname of Tang in the Tang army. Looking at the soldiers outside the city, Zeng Sheng knows that the soldiers outside the city are all the soldiers of the Tang army. According to the arrangement of the Tang army, they can command more than 5000 soldiers He is definitely not an ordinary person, but Zeng Sheng can't remember which Tang general he is.

Suddenly, a name came out of his mind, "Tang style! By the way, it must be the Tang style, the former commander of Yangcheng in Xi'an, and one of the three alien lords in Wuyuan County, a general under Xiaojie. "

Since it's Tang style, he certainly won't be aimless. As the former chief General of Xi'an Yangcheng, he absolutely knows the situation of Xi'an Yangcheng. In this way, it means that the direction of Tang army's attack must be the loophole of Xi'an Yangcheng's defense.

Thinking of this, Zeng Sheng rushed out of the cave of Tibetan soldiers and ordered his own guards, "come on, send orders quickly. The two thousand soldiers who have taken turns to rest in the city will come to the west of the city immediately. Instead of going to the city tower, he will go directly to the southwest direction where the catapult of the Tang army is attacking."

When he yelled at the guard, he didn't react. Zeng Sheng didn't care about anything else. He slapped the soldier and knocked him to the ground. He yelled again: "what are you doing? Come on, pro guard camp, follow ben to make a detour to the back of the southwest wall! That's the main attack direction of the Tang army! "

With that, he rushed out of the cave and walked around the southwest corner of the wall.

The soldier got up from the ground with a scratch, but he didn't care to wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth. He saluted Zeng Sheng's back and rushed to the barracks in the city.

The rest of Zeng Sheng's soldiers also responded. Under the leadership of the general, they followed Zeng Sheng and ran to the southwest of the city wall.

Unfortunately, Zeng Sheng's reaction has been slow. By the time he reacts, nearly half an hour has passed. At this time, the catapult of the Tang army has projected more than ten rounds of stone bombs on the southwest corner of the city wall. More than 30% of the nearly 1000 stone bombs hit the city wall, and a crack has been found on the wall. But at this time, neither the Zhao army behind the city wall nor the Tang army outside the city wall found the existence of this crack.

When Zeng Sheng led his own troops to the back of the city wall, the city wall finally could not bear the attack of stone bullets. In a "boom" sound, the new city wall wrapped in the outer layer collapsed in both internal and external directions. Countless stones and soil fell on both sides of the city wall, forming a natural ramp for the Tang army's attack.

Zeng Sheng just stood a hundred steps behind the wall and watched the wall collapse in a loud noise. The smoke almost enveloped the whole wall.

"Good!"

"Great!"

Unlike Zhao soldiers in the city, Tang soldiers outside the city gave out a burst of cheers. Tang Shi was even more excited and jumped up. On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to prepare for the siege, on the other hand, he ordered the catapult to continue to attack for two rounds, and then extended to the back of the city wall for five rounds.

In the Tang army, Tian Yu and FA Zheng looked at each other and laughed. The victory of the first battle was a great help to the morale of the army. Contrary to their happiness, Xu Huang and his generals laughed bitterly. It seems that this round will not turn for himself.A quarter of an hour later, the catapult began to project into the city, and the Tang style also led thousands of troops to rush towards the city wall. Originally, the catapult was ready to launch several rounds of projection. When they saw that the Tang style led the army to close to the city wall quickly, Tian Yu immediately ordered the catapult to stop attacking, so as not to hurt his soldiers.

Half an hour later, the Tang style led the army into the city and captured the Xicheng tower of Yangcheng in Xi'an from the Zhao army. Then, the gate was opened by Tang soldiers. With Tian Yu's command, Xu Huang immediately sent his 10000 soldiers to enter the city from the Xicheng tower.

In the afternoon, the Tang army occupied the Yangcheng city of Xi'an. Of the 6000 Zhao troops in the city, less than 1000 died, and the remaining 4000 were all captured.

After Tian Yu got the report of Tang style, he laughed and said to FA Zheng, "military strategist, you don't have to be frozen in the cold field any more."

"What the general said is true. I don't think you are as strong as the general. If you can have a room to sleep in, it would be the best." Fazheng did not shirk, but answered;

"OK, order the army to enter the city. Before dark today, all the food and materials will be sent into the city and kept." Tian Yu ordered that he was about to enter the city. He suddenly stopped and said, "give an order to general Tang. He is the first one to win the battle. However, he broke the wall, so we have to trouble him to repair it. Otherwise, Zhang Liao's army will attack. I'm afraid..."

With that, Tian Yu, in a good mood, laughs with a clip of horse belly and goes to the city to fight the horse.

FA Zheng followed the others with a smile and went to the city of Yang in Xi'an. To be honest, he was a civil servant. He suffered a lot with the army these days. Now he can have a yard for him to have a good rest.
