In the early morning, the sky was twilight, and the rebels who attacked the city once again gathered under the city of Chang'an.

Standing on the tower, you can clearly see that the rebels below the city are divided into three forces, they belong to King An, King Rui and King Xing respectively.These three people had long been disobedient, but the emperor quickly secured the military power through victories after he ascended the throne, so they have never dared to act rashly.Until this time the emperor suddenly attacked the aristocratic family, in their view, he was digging his own foundation, so he was ready to move.

Just in time for the reoccurrence of the witchcraft case, the aristocratic family was greatly implicated, and those who were dissatisfied took refuge in the Three Kings.Later, it was learned that the emperor was cursed, and his health was getting worse day by day. The news reached the ears of the three kings, and they felt that this was an opportunity.

The three kings hooked up and made frequent moves in private.On the one hand, he was preparing to raise troops, on the other hand, he was contacting the gentry. At the same time, for insurance, King An even stole the border defense map through the hidden lines in the palace, and colluded with the remnants of the northern barbarians and sent troops southward at the same time.This is how the northern barbarians moved southward like a broken bamboo, and Wen Fei took orders in danger, and took away most of Chang'an's garrison as a last resort.

The three kings who got the news were overjoyed, and rushed to Chang'an to kill them.And this attack was actually very smooth. Apart from meeting a few resistances, it also gathered a lot of vassal forces.

Up to now, there are not only three kings standing under the city with the rebel army, but seven vassal kings.It's just that the rest of the vassal kings joined after they raised their troops, and they were attached to these three people respectively. Now it seems that they are still three forces.

Of course, they are all standing under the city of Chang'an, and the three kings who once focused on rebellion now have their own thoughts.

Standing in front of the army on horseback, looking at the towering towers and closed gates of Chang'an.King An was no longer as smug as before, and rarely frowned: "Is there something wrong in the city? Yesterday, I clearly saw the signal in the city, and agreed to open the gate of the city at night, so that the army could enter the city. Why did we wait for this city in the middle of the night?" The door didn't even open?"

King Xing looked at him lazily, flicked the whip in his hand, and sneered, "What's the point of guessing? Now that there's a war going on, the city gate must be heavily guarded, maybe he was caught on the spot."

This is really not a good thing to say, especially now that Chang'an City has not been destroyed, and the emperor in the city is still safe and sound, it is really not the time to tear your face into internal strife.King Rui hurriedly smoothed things over: "King Xing is right, maybe he didn't find an opportunity, so King An don't need to worry too much."

The three kings were talking about the missed appointment last night, but in fact, even the frowning Wang An was not too worried.After all, as long as they are not stupid, those sent out to do this kind of thing must be dead soldiers. Even if they are caught when they sneak open the city gate, they will kill themselves quickly to keep the secret.Afterwards, there is no proof of death, and none of the aristocratic families in the city is easy to provoke. At this critical moment when the soldiers are approaching the city, the emperor must not dare to act rashly.

In this way, at worst, they will just wait for the next opportunity.And even if they can't open the city gates to cooperate with each other, the aristocratic families in the city only need to set a few fires in the city and cause some troubles to help them.

Together, the three decided to let go of what happened last night and continue to attack the city today.

With the order of the military, the assembled rebels rushed towards the towering tower again like a tide.It's just that before the first ladder was placed on the city wall, the defenders on the tower suddenly hung something on the top of the city, which was not clear from a distance.

Wang An was a little old, and he couldn't see clearly after squinting for a while, so he asked the general beside him, "What is hanging on the top of the city?"

The general raised his eyes, distinguished from a distance, and then replied: "My lord, what hangs on the city seems to be a row of human heads."

King An was startled when he heard this, and turned his head to look at King Xing and King Rui, all three of them had some bad premonition inexplicably.At this time, King Xing couldn't care less about provoking troubles. He looked around and found a spy who had been in Chang'an for many years. Whose heads belong to it."

The man was also unambiguous, and immediately led the order to ride away.It's just that he was unlucky. As soon as he got close to the battlefield, before he could see the heads hanging on the city, he was shot by a stray arrow, and he died on the spot.

King Xing watched helplessly, cursed angrily, and pointed to another person to go.

This time the spy had good eyesight, he rode his horse forward and looked at the fresh heads in the city from a distance, his expression changed drastically in shock, and he rode his horse and ran back.From a distance, he shouted: "My lord, what's wrong with my lord, the heads of the whole family of Wu are hanging on the tower."

As soon as these words came out, King An was the most excited, almost fell off his horse in shock - he was the one who contacted the gentry in this uprising, and he also arranged for the northern barbarians to be behind.He felt that he had made great contributions, and after he entered the city, the Wu family led the crowd to vote.No matter how unconvinced King Xing and King Rui were, he must be the one who ascended the throne in the end.

But now that the Wu family has been exterminated, wouldn't his advantages be gone, so maybe he has to make wedding dresses for others? !

King An's face turned blue, he rode his horse on the horse himself, and grabbed the spy by the collar: "What did you say? How could it be the Wu family? The Wu family is powerful and has countless in-laws. How dare the emperor dare to talk to Wu here? Shi?!"

How does this spy know?He could only reply tremblingly: "This, I don't know, the villain just looked at Patriarch Wu from a distance a few times. Also, there are several gentlemen of the Wu family. They often walk on the street, but they are familiar But now, now they are all on the top of the city..." There are hundreds of heads neatly, and all the children of the Wu family he knows are inside.

After hearing what he said, King An felt no luck, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

King Xing glanced at him gloatingly, and King Rui tugged at his sleeve when he saw this, so he didn't let him say anything to destroy the alliance.King Rui himself looked serious, and said: "There has been a change in the city, and we can't cooperate with the outside. It seems that we have to attack."

The rebel army attacked the city for several days. Although there were countless casualties on both sides, King An and the others were still worried about the fact that there was a Wu family in the city to cooperate with the outside, so they always kept some restraint when attacking the city-they were reluctant to part with the soldiers they had worked so hard to raise. Therefore, once the casualties are too heavy during the siege, they will choose to withdraw their troops.Rather than saying it was a siege a few days ago, it was better to say that it was attracting the attention of the defenders and waiting for the cooperation in the city.

However, now that the internal forces in the city are gone, they can only choose to attack by force.Then who will be the main attacker, who will preserve their strength, and how to distribute the benefits after the invasion of Chang'an in the future, we have to make it clear in advance.

****************************************************************

A strong attack was agreed, but the rebels' offensive on this day was still insufficient compared to the previous few days.In the past, the siege battle was always fought from dawn to dusk. On this day, the rebels withdrew before the sun set.

The garrison commander in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and many people immediately lay down without strength, ignoring the corpses or stumps lying beside them.

Xiao Bing was lucky. He survived another day today. He held a bloody and greasy gun barrel in his hand, turned his head and looked around for a long time before he found his fellow veteran.So he dragged his exhausted body and crawled over: "Brother, are you okay?"

The old soldier was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and it took him a while to turn his gaze to the soldier.He was not well, he was stabbed in the stomach, and although he was protected by armor, he was not cut open, but the blood flowed "crash".He just felt dizzy and weak at the moment, and the rebels withdrew, but if it was an hour and a half in the evening, he should see Hades by now.

The little soldier quickly discovered his injury, threw the gun away in fright, and covered his wound with both hands.Crying while covering it, the tears kept flowing, and two marks rushed out on his blood-stained face.

The captain who was cleaning the battlefield quickly found them, looked at the veteran's wounds, reckoned that he could be rescued, and ordered him to be carried down the tower.The little soldier couldn't follow him to the wounded barracks, and held the old soldier's hand tightly before parting.

The veteran gathered his strength for a while before uttering four words to him: "Tomorrow, be careful."

The two still separated, and the little soldier, who had been taken care of by the veteran all this time, seemed to have lost his backbone, and suddenly became panicked.He began to be afraid of tomorrow, afraid of war, and didn't know how many days he could live.

It was night, and the night wind was the same as before, and the wind was full of blood and rancidity.

Holding his gun, Xiaobing leaned against the tower alone, closing his eyes and trying to force himself to fall asleep and rest.However, although his body was exhausted to the extreme, without the veterans he was accustomed to relying on, he was so tense that he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

I don't know how long it has passed, and the night is probably already very deep. The patrolling sergeant walked past him lightly, and suddenly woke up the soldier who had just fallen into a light sleep.He woke up in a jerk, with a panicked face, and subconsciously turned his head to look for the figure of the veteran, but he couldn't find it after searching.His unconscious mind made him forget about the veteran's injury, and he got up in a hurry to continue looking for someone.

However, before he could find someone by the dim light of the fire on the tower, when he raised his head, he suddenly found that the dark sky in the distance was dyed with a red glow at some point.He stared blankly for a while, then suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "Fire, fire, it's on fire..."

At this time, the night was quiet, and the city tower was full of defenders who were ready to fight, and the sudden shout suddenly awakened everyone.They jumped up with their knives and guns in their hands, and before they could understand the situation in front of them, they shouted, "Enemy, where is the enemy?"

Naturally there are no enemies.

The defenders who calmed down soon also noticed the flames in the sky.The general guarding the city was also quickly alarmed, looked around from a distance, a little surprised: "That is the direction where the rebels are stationed."

Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, the entire camp might be on fire, right?But they obviously didn't send troops to attack at night.

The general defending the city quickly realized that reinforcements might have arrived, or the rebels were playing tricks to lure them out of the city.

These are two completely different judgments, and they also represent completely different situations-if reinforcements arrive, they should go out of the city to cooperate with the reinforcements, and it is best to wipe out these rebels and take down the anti-king.But if it wasn't, but the rebels were using mystification to lure them out of the city, and if they made a mistake in judgment, the city gate might be breached.At that time, Chang'an falls, and everything will stop.

The general guarding the city looked at the flames ready to move, but with Chang'an City under his feet, and the emperor who trusted him behind him, he dared not take any risks.So he stood on the city tower with his sword in his hand all night, looking at the fire on the other side of the day, he did not dare to give the order to leave the city.

Until dawn, the messenger with the "Qi" military flag appeared at the foot of the city.

The author has something to say: Wen Fei (applause): Uncle is powerful, uncle is mighty, uncle is the most reliable!

Qi Taiwei (...): Don't flatter me, I heard that you got engaged secretly while I was away? !
