Chapter 150 The Battle of the City Gate
"What? The Yuyang Tuqi rebelled before?"
After hearing this news, Shi Si was obviously a little disbelief. Although he did not attach great importance to Yuyang Tuqi, following An Lushan over the years made him feel confident in his heart that Yuyang Tuqi and Yiluohe could not rebel.
But now, this has obviously become another slap in the face.
"Yes, hundreds of people have captured the east gate of my Fanyang City. The leader is Chen Zhibao! There are also Yuyang Cavs in the city on the city wall to take care of them. Obviously, they have already been working inside and outside. Your Majesty should order it quickly! In my opinion, there will definitely be Tang army or two aliens outside the city to approach!"
"Hurry up! Touch troops to the east gate, and you must close the city gate. Those who block it will kill you!"
Shi Siming's forehead was filled with cold sweat. If Chen Zhibao and the others really got together with Tongluo and the Pugu tribe, he wouldn't be very worried. If there was really something about the Tang army in it, Shi Siming would not expect what the consequences would be now.
After sitting on the chair for a moment, Shi Siming stood up again and shouted loudly: "Come on my armor and weapons!"
Obviously, by this time Shi Siming had already attached great importance to this matter. He had to personally wear a battle and rushed to the east gate to see how things had developed.
However, if you have a mindful calculation and unintentionality, most of the time, the unintentional side will naturally win the final victory.
Li Qing tried his best to use the Pugu tribe and the Tongluo tribe, of course, not just to attract tens of thousands of people to escape. Another important purpose was to attract the attention of the defenders and attract Shi Siming's attention, so that they could make a little wrong judgment about what happened in the East Gate.
Even if this judgment can only affect their incense stick of time, for Li Qing, his chances of winning will increase exponentially.
Now, this plan has been successful.
Because Li Neng, who was carrying five thousand men, had already seen the east gate of Fanyang City and the Yuyang Tuqi holding weapons outside the east gate.
"Soldiers! Once and for all, it's time tonight! Kill all the rebels who are still resisting in front of you!"
At this moment, Li Yi was really red in her eyes. The open east gate of Fanyang City became closer and closer in front of him. At this time, it seemed like the gate that led to the Tang Dynasty to a new world. No matter how dangerous it was, Li Yi was about to rush in.
Even though he knew that Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi were carrying infantry behind him, they might arrive later, Li Qing did not hesitate at this time. This was the first time he had put the five thousand cavalry he had worked hard to bring out from Suiyang in such a dangerous situation, and it was also the first time he felt it was necessary to do so.
Chen Zhibao was already covered in blood at this time. If Li Yan had less than half an incense stick, they would be killed on the spot by the rebels who were swarming in. However, at this time, the Tang army entered the city.
Chen Zhibao looked back and then wiped the blood from his face, and said loudly: "Send the order to let the brothers outside the city come in, and let the brothers in the city meet with King Jianning as soon as possible! Kill!"
It was a long time to talk about it, but it was so fast at that time!
While speaking, Li Yan had already arrived inside the city gate, and five thousand cavalrymen flocked to him, and they were facing Shi Siming who had already reacted and the rebel archers who had arrived.
That's right, even though Shi Siming had not reflected all this before, he knew how to close the city gate as soon as possible at this time. Fighting is not advisable, and bows and arrows are definitely the best choice under such circumstances.
However, Shi Siming was still one step late. What he saw was the scene where the Tang Dynasty cavalry were following Li Qing into the city. He was shocked by such a scene. Shi Siming's eyes were bloodshot at that time.
He suddenly seemed to understand why the leader of Tongluo and the Pugu tribe led his men outside the city but did not really attack the city. After Shi Chaoyi went out with 50,000 men, they ran away. This was obviously planned for a long time, and it was obviously the Tang army who planned these matters.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and shoot these cavalrymen and go to the city gate!"
At this time, the Tang army was like a flood in Shi Siming's eyes. If they could not stop them from the source, Fan Yangcheng would be in trouble today.
On the other hand, for Li Qing, what they fear most now is shooting arrows, because they are still in the process of moving into the city. Doing so will become a living target for the enemy in an instant, and a lot of losses will occur after a rain of arrows.
"Quick! Hold up your shield and follow me into the roads on both sides. Don't fight with the enemy. Just wander on the roads in this city, harass them so that they cannot get close to the city gate! Minimize losses as much as possible, and wait until the infantry arrives!"
With Li Yan's order, Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, who had already arrived, were impressed at that time, and each led his troops to the left and right streets.
It was already late at night. The city of Fanyang is already quite large because of An Lushan's years of operation. The streets in the market are also very wide. The cavalry rode their horses and ran wildly on the empty streets. Although the rebels sent people to chase them, the effect was obviously not good, and Li Yan and the others led the cavalry to kill many of them along the way.
Where can the people living in the houses still sleep? An Lushan attaches importance to Fan Yang over the years. Those who can live in Fan Yang City are almost already well-known figures on Hebei Road.
However, on this night, many of them heard the shouts of killing outside and had a premonition that not only Fanyang City, but also the entire Hebei Road might be about to change.
Li Ren, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and Chen Zhibao each brought some cavalry, while avoiding the enemy archers, while trying their best to stop the enemy troops who were going to approach the city gate and close the city gate.
The opening and closing of the east gate of Fanyang City can be said to be the winner of this battle by this time.
Originally, Shi Siming had a glimmer of hope. He hoped that because of the hasty arrival of the Tang army, Li Qing might have arrived first with thousands of cavalry. Even if he had rebelled more than 10,000 Yuyang Cavalry, there would be only about 20,000 people. As long as the gate could be closed, they could still easily destroy these cavalry.
But Shi Siming once again underestimated the conciseness of Li Yong's plan. His men were just approaching the city gate and not halfway there. A team of infantry began to push the city with their shields. Yes, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi would not waste much time on this mere five miles of road. They arrived on time.
