Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 916 Entering the City

The east gate of Xi'an City is called Changle Gate. It is a very typical city gate of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with three floors and three floors.

From the inside to the outside, there are three towers: gate tower, arrow tower and main tower.

Among them, the gate tower is built on the gate of Yuecheng City and is named after the thousand-jin gate and suspension bridge.

And because the soldiers were stationed in the tower and there were many firearms and artillery, it was also called the gun tower.

The arrow tower is a tower located at the entrance of the Wengcheng city gate. It is named because there are many overlooking and designed windows on it.

There are four floors of arrow windows on the front of the Changlemen Arrow Tower, with twelve windows on each floor, for a total of forty-eight windows on the four floors.

The gables on the left and right sides of the arrow tower are also brick walls. There are no windows on the lower floor. There are three floors of arrow windows on the upper part. There are three windows on each floor and nine windows on each side, for a total of 18 windows on the left and right.

In this way, the entire arrow tower has a total of 66 arrow windows on three sides.

There are also auxiliary rooms on both sides of the arrow tower. This kind of auxiliary room is like the watch tower on the horse, which can strengthen the defense of the left and right sides of the urn city.

The main tower is a common tower in later generations, and it exists as the last barrier in the tower defense system.

He Jin led his cavalry in a rampage and rushed directly to the suspension bridge on the moat of Xi'an.

Unexpectedly, these officers and soldiers were accustomed to being arrogant. The Xi'an guards did not think it was strange. They did not even pull up the suspension bridge and just thought they were defeated again.

The heavy horse's hooves stepped on the suspension bridge, and the vibrating suspension bridge trembled up and down, as if it would suddenly break without knowing when.

"King Zuo Jin" He Jin turned a blind eye to this and instead stared at the thousand-jin gate in front of him.

I was afraid that it would fall down with a loud noise, and then countless arrows would fly towards me, and then the rebel army would be strewn with corpses and die here.

However, none of this happened. The guards at Changlemen yawned indifferently, not even intending to step forward to ask.

These people were the most well-informed, and it had already spread among them that the officers and soldiers who went out to attack the city at night "stealed chickens but lost rice." Not only did they lose many lives, but even many of their horses were robbed.

At this time, there are so many of them but they don’t open their eyes, so they dare to come forward and provoke?

As for the enemy attack, it is impossible to exist, okay?

Not to mention the two hundred miles from Huayin to Xi'an, the thieves and officers and soldiers had already broken through the soles of their feet as they fought all the way, and the men and horses were exhausted.

Not to mention that the officers and soldiers had been toiling for half the night. They probably didn't even get a full night's sleep. What could they do to attack the city?

In fact, this mentality cannot be said to be wrong. Even with a war horse, He Jin has already reached the limit of his body.

As the war horse jolted, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and he felt that the armor on his body was getting heavier.

He Jin resisted the discomfort and suddenly re-entered the gate tower, then tightened the reins and slowed down his pace.

It turned out that after passing the gate tower, we faced the arrow tower.

A tall tower that was more than ten feet tall stood in front of him, and being stared at by the dense shooting holes on it, even the bold He Jin suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

Although he knew there might be no one up there, he still couldn't help but shudder.

If it were a normal siege, it would be easy to fill up the trench, blow down the Thousand Jin Gate, and then encounter such a tower head-on.

No matter how heroic you are, it can turn you into a hornet's nest, and He Jin can't help but be frightened.

Of course, He Jin slowed down not because of fear, but because of the structure of the city gate.

The opening of the arrow tower and the gate of the gate tower are not directly connected. The opening of the arrow tower is on the left and right sides of the Wengcheng wall.

After He Jin led his rebel army into Yuecheng, they had to branch along the two sides of Yuecheng. When they reached the root of the city wall, they saw a small gate opened on the urn city.

The reason why the Moon City is called the Moon City is because it is wrapped outside the Urn City like a crescent moon, so it is called the Moon City.

In fact, if we take a closer look, this Moon City is just a specialized Wengcheng.

Entering the Wengcheng, the situation became increasingly dangerous.

The so-called urn refers to pottery with a big belly and a small mouth. This urn city is called the urn city because its shape is similar to an urn city.

This urn city has an arrow tower in front, a city tower behind it, and walls on the left and right, both of which are more than ten feet high.

He Jin stood in the urn, like a poor ant standing in the urn.

He couldn't help but look up. He could only see a small patch of sky above, and one could imagine the depression in it.

"Which team are you in?" When He Jin was anxious and uneasy, someone suddenly asked loudly.

"Straight bitch, you're blind!" He Jin, "King of Zuo Jin," didn't answer and scolded him instead.

It happened that he was angry because of fear, which was almost the same as the anger of officers and soldiers because of defeat. He was originally from Yansui, and his accent was similar to Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province.

When the man heard this, he just said that they were the direct descendants of the chief military officer. He immediately did not dare to ask further questions and honestly opened the main gate of the city and invited the rebels to enter.

As soon as He Jin entered the city gate, he suddenly felt that his field of vision was much wider, and his tense heartstrings could not help but relax.

Not long after, as soon as three to five hundred rebels entered the city, He Jin shouted: "Kill, I will divide into two teams and kill them from the left and right sides!"

It's not that He Jin couldn't wait any longer, but that the officers and soldiers only left the city to attack the camp this time with only more than 2,000 horses. Although the number of his troops out of camp this time was less than two thousand, there were still fifteen thousand.

The Xi'an city gate guards are not blind. Although they can't see their faces in the dark, can they still count them?

"King Zuojin" He Jin did not dare to hesitate for a moment, but the officers and soldiers spotted his flaw.

He quickly got off his horse and personally led the soldiers along the stairs behind the main building straight to the top of the city tower.

The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and there was chaos.

He Jin took the opportunity to rush up to the city tower, killing people on sight and chopping up soldiers on sight, without mercy, and soon captured the main tower of Changle Gate.

At the same time, the rebels under the city also took the opportunity to seize the city gate below the main building.

Then the two sides attacked from above and below, rolling back the arrow tower and gate tower.

Although the design of Changle Gate in Xi'an is dangerous, how could you expect that enemies would come out from inside?

Not long after, the rebels fought from beginning to end. Except for some who surrendered and fled, most of them were killed on the spot.

He Jin, the "King of Zuo Jin", did not want to take a break and quickly ordered the chief of the First Division to lead 500 people to garrison Changlemen. He led more than a thousand people down to the city and rushed into the city along Dongmen Street.

Along Dongmen Street, from east to west are Xi'an Zuowei, Zhenguo General's Mansion, Xianning County Government and the General Mansion.

The left guard of Xi'an has long been out of use, and the elite among them have been deployed by Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo and Shaanxi Chief Military Officer Zuo Guangxian. How can there be any resistance?

When they heard that the rebels were coming to kill them, they were greatly frightened and immediately dispersed without any resistance.

Zhu Cunji, the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, heard the news and quickly fled to the Qin Palace with his guards. He also sent someone to notify Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi who lived in the headquarters.

Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi, was sleeping peacefully. When he heard the sound, he couldn't help but get up from his bed. He ignored his disheveled clothes and went straight to Jingzhao Station next to him to find Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi.

Zuo Guangxian was originally scolding You Zhaiyuan for his incompetence at the inn, but the night attack failed and was broken up by thieves.

Suddenly hearing the movement, he quickly dressed up and led two or three hundred personal guards out to check the movement. Just as he was about to ask Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi, he couldn't help but asked quickly: "Fu Jun, I wonder what's causing the noise outside?"

"It's not good, it's not good! The thieves have entered the city and they kill everyone on sight. This city of Xi'an is going to be finished!" Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi, was at a loss and couldn't help shouting.

Zuo Guangxian couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and he immediately realized a famous saying of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty:

The thief can go, and so can I!
