In the case of wumahua's tricks, although it was very difficult to defend Chang'an City, it also reduced a lot of losses.
At least, it hasn't broken the city yet.
For example, he made a cylindrical revolving crossbow, which only needs to be placed at the corner of each wall. As long as the crossbow and arrow are enough, it doesn't need the army to risk exposure at all.
There is also the array in front of the city gate, which always makes the rebels inexplicably lost in the array. It is clearly less than a hundred feet away from the city gate, but they can't walk through it.
The rebels used fire and human life to dig a path of blood, and Xiao mubai's military strength was gradually exhausted. After seven or eight days, there were only more than 10000 left.
King Mo's army is decreasing day by day. Although the rebels die more in battle, they have more and more confidence in attacking Chang'an.
At the same time, the situation in the west is also very bad.
The Marquis has joined Gu Weiyi, but it's not because they rushed too fast, but because Gu Duanfei came back too fast with Gu's army!
Even if the Marquis sent letters to the neighboring cities all the way, he couldn't stop Gu Duanfei from commanding back to Beijing with 200000 troops.
Lord Hou and Gu Weiyi meet in Shangyang, while Gu Duanfei and his army have occupied another city, Linshun, which is only a hundred miles away from here.
Shangyang's Garrison Army was only 20000. Gu Weiyi stood on the tower and looked at Linshun in front of him. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly. Seeing that the Marquis looked at him suspiciously, he couldn't help but say, "I just think this scene is deja vu."
Hou ye had never experienced the battle of Hanyang, so he naturally looked puzzled.
Gu Weiyi then said, "at the beginning of the year, it was also relying on the 20000 garrison troops in Chongqing to resist the 200000 Hu army. At that time, it was thought that the worst war was just like this. I didn't expect to use the 20000 garrison troops in Linshun to resist the 200000 Gu army."
He didn't say the following words, but the Marquis knew it in his heart.
At that time, Gu Weiyi and them still had a hope. Although no one knew whether the Mexican King's army could come to help in time, at least there was a hope.
But now their situation is worse than then.
One step back is the loss of territory.
Further, it is absolutely impossible.
The Marquis pursed his lips and patted hard on his shoulder. Gu Weiyi was filled with emotion. He didn't expect to fight side by side with the man he hated most. Fate is really annoying.
The Marquis suddenly opened his mouth and said to him, "you know you can't fight. If you don't prepare quickly, go to the camp by yourself."
Gu Weiyi, the boss with his mouth open, thought he would cheer each other up and say something. I'll accompany you even if you die in battle.
As a result, as soon as the Marquis opened his mouth, he let himself attack the enemy alone?
"Well, you old fox, even if I hate you to the bone, I won't take the opportunity to kill you at this time. Are you still not human?" Gu Weiyi's mouth is straight.
"After so many years, I finally admit that you hate me... I still pretend to be free and easy on the wedding day. I wish us a happy marriage for a hundred years." The Marquis hissed and squinted at him. He looked like he knew you were small-minded.
"What else? If Lansheng is willing to go with me, I will run away if I rob someone. If she is with me, she will never lose her beauty..." Gu Weiyi suddenly stopped here.
The Duke's face was full of grief. He also knew that he had said something wrong. It was not that the Duke treated Zhao Lansheng badly, but that she chose to save the emperor with her own life.
Even if he was replaced, what could he do
Gu Weiyi coughed softly: "well, you shouldn't let me die."
The Marquis followed his words and put aside the previous topic: "I'm not here to fight with you."
Gu Weiyi was so offended by him, and the trace of guilt that had just risen in his heart suddenly disappeared: "if you don't fight, go back to your Hou's house and enjoy happiness. I'm not rare."
The Marquis hissed: "chu'er didn't tell you in his letter that you can't fight this war at all? You can only find a way to recover your military power."
When Gu Weiyi heard him mention this, his anger became more and more intense. Until the officers and men of the army jointly wrote the letter posted to Dali Temple by Xiao mubai, Gu Weiyi knew that the original Yi Dao was the beginning of summer.
At that time, he reflected why old general Zhao changed his temperament after interrogating Yidao alone in the account. He booed Yidao and showed more care.
At that time, he thought he had enough face. For his sake, old general Zhao took Yi Dao lightly.
Really? He's amorous and disgraced
Gu Weiyi held back the sullen anger that he had been cheated by his masters, and shouted at the top of his voice, "your son has a virtue with you. His letter is light in a few words. How to take back the military power? Will I wave the flag and shout and let him give it with both hands?"
The Marquis wiped the spittle on his face and wiped it on his robe. Disgusted, he said, "for so many years, only a long age does not grow a brain."
Gu Weiyi was even more angry. As soon as he was about to open his mouth, he heard the Marquis then say, "Gu's army has been staffed. Wei Feng pretended to surrender and secretly united with the old department. Only one person can take over Gu's army in a fair way."
Gu Weiyi calmed down after hearing the speech. Gu Jiajun is different from Zhao Jiajun.
General Zhao is a young man's son. He is the only one who can serve. He is not stingy of military power.
But Gu Jiajun has been handed down in one continuous line over the years. It is difficult to be a general without Gu's surname, and the soldiers in the army recognize their lineage.
Prince Hui has two sons. Now Gu Xingyun's life and death are unknown, and Gu Duanfei is still in the city of installation. Although Gu Duanfei was deprived of the title of Duanwang by the emperor and demoted to common people.
But after all, he is also Prince Hui's own son. As a collateral branch of the Gu family, how can he compete for military power with his legitimate son.
Sometimes soldiers are too loyal and will not argue right and wrong. They will only follow blindly, otherwise they will not fly down to the western regions with Gu Duan.
They stayed in Ancheng for many years, and they had long regarded Prince Hui as more important than the emperor.
Even with Wei Feng's conspiracy, as a collateral, he is no different from other generals in Gu's army. How to serve the public is the problem.
Seeing that he was silent and looked dark, the Marquis joked: "why, I just sprayed spittle on my face, but now I'm mute?"
Gu Weiyi glanced at him: "the general surnamed Gu, Gu's army has a large number of people. Why do they still follow Gu Duanfei? The noble blood is irreplaceable. You were very warm with Gu Shiqing in those years. You don't know the shit custom of Gu's army."
After listening to his words, the Marquis sighed and nodded in agreement, but then he suddenly said, "chu'er gave you the orchid hairpin...?"
