Chapter 741: The two armies clash head-to-head
Seeing that it was getting late, Yin Ziqi became more and more unsteady, and always felt that there would be something big tonight. After dinner, he took care of military affairs in the Chinese military tent, and it was difficult to calm down no matter what. The general Zhong Ruhai suddenly hurried over, and his expression was very panicked.
Yin Ziqi was shocked, Zhong Ruhai was his most trusted general, this person has always been calm and calm, what kind of terrifying thing can make him so panicked?
"General, the last general has just received a secret letter from Luoyang, and it has been spread wildly by the government and the opposition, and the emperor has collapsed ......."
An Lushan is dead? Yin Ziqi jumped up from the military couch in a hurry, but then sat back down. Since the Emperor Taishang has already taken the throne, even if he dies now, no one can shake the position of An Qingxu and the Son of Heaven. But he immediately felt that something was wrong, if it was just this kind of news, why was Zhong Ruhai so panicked?
Yin Ziqi looked at Zhong Ruhai, but saw that Zhong Ruhai's expression was still panicked:
"The death of the Emperor Taishang is not a good thing for today's son. The only thing to worry about now is Shi Siming who is stationed in Hebei, is Shi Siming the opposite?"
Halfway through the words, he was almost certain that Shi Siming must have heard of An Lushan's death and immediately raised troops to rebel.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Ruhai shook his head again and again, and said:
"If it was just Shi Siming's rebellion, it would be fine, but now the government and the opposition are spreading wildly, and the emperor is killed by His Majesty!"
Before the words fell, Yin Ziqi's body shook a few times. This matter may not be groundless, An Lushan's sudden meditation position without warning is already strange, and now such shocking news has suddenly been exposed, which just explains the doubts in the hearts of the world.
At this moment, Yin Ziqi is almost eighty percent sure in his heart that An Lushan's death must be inseparable from An Qingxu. If this is the case, An Qingxu is a traitor and rebel son who killed the king and killed his father, and everyone will be punished. And this just gave Shi Siming an excellent excuse to raise troops, so that the rebellion became revenge for the monarch's father, how dignified and righteous!
Stinky chess, faint moves!
Yin Ziqi kept scolding in his stomach, but what could he do? He was just a general who led the troops abroad, his qualifications and prestige were still shallow, and his influence on the Luoyang Dynasty was extremely limited. However, fortunately, he and Prime Minister Ashina Chengqing were escorted inside and outside, and Ashina Chengqing was in charge of the court, and he believed that he would be able to survive this crisis.
However, Yin Ziqi beat a drum in his heart again, such terrifying news, why didn't Ashina Chengqing ventilate him?
was secretly puzzled, but heard Zhong Ruhai say again:
"There is also bad news, Your Majesty listened to Yan Zhuang's slander and sent Ashina Xianggong to Fanyang to transfer troops!"
Hearing this, Yin Ziqi's heart suddenly sank, Yan Zhuang, the treacherous and cunning fox, was clearly using An Qingxu's hand to squeeze Ashina Chengqing out of Luoyang, and he could just take advantage of the new Son of Heaven's accession to the throne to gather people's hearts and stabilize his power. Now that Ashina Chengqing has gone to Fanyang, this also explains his previous doubts.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, Yin Ziqi jumped up from the military couch again, startling Zhong Ruhai on the side.
"Why is the general so ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Yin Ziqi slapped his palm on the desk.
"Ashina Xianggong is going to die nine times for life!"
"Nine deaths?"
Zhong Ruhai was dumbfounded, but immediately suddenly, could he have been poisoned by Shi Siming?
Yin Ziqi was upset and gasped for breath.
"If the expectation is good, Ashina's dispatch of troops is just a pretense, and the real purpose is to kill Shi Siming and control Fan Yang!"
Zhong Ruhai clapped his hands excitedly.
"Why is the general pessimistic? With Ashina's ability, this matter may not be impossible? Once Shi Siming is killed, it will be a great good thing to remove the hidden danger for my Dayan!"
As for Zhong Ruhai's optimism and self-confidence, although Yin Ziqi couldn't say anything, he always felt in his heart that Shi Siming was so easy to deal with? But after thinking about it again, Zhong Ruhai was afraid that what he said was not wrong, who said that Shi Siming would definitely kill Ashina Chengqing? Could it be that Ashina Chengqing couldn't kill Shi Siming? Perhaps, as Zhong Ruhai said, he was too pessimistic.
In the past few days, Yin Ziqi's right eyelid has always jumped suddenly, and the fox tide has been wiped out, so he is always suspicious.
"Can the ambush be arranged?"
No matter how much you think about these messy things, it's useless, Yin Ziqi doesn't think about it, and instead focuses on the current situation.
"10,000 elite foot soldiers, 5,000 cavalry, have been arranged. Why was the general sure that the Tang soldiers were coming to attack at night?"
Yin Ziqi felt a little relieved and nodded.
"It's not a certainty, it's a gut feeling!"
Zhong Ruhai no longer had the panic when he first entered the account at this time, but laughed.
"Although the whole army of Linghu Chao was wiped out, the general was too careful......"
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a loud popping sound. Both of them were jumped, and not only that, but they felt that even the ground under their feet trembled faintly.
"Is the earth moving?"
Zhong Ruhai was fast-talking, but Yin Ziqi suddenly thought of the rumors of defeat brought back by the Xin'an rout, and the most mentioned thing was the earth moving. What earth moved, the city wall collapsed, and Tang Bing invited Lei Gongdian and the like abounded. At that time, he only thought that this was nonsense from the defeated soldiers in order to shirk their responsibilities, but for some reason, at this time, he suddenly heard Zhong Ruhai shouting and moving, and he felt that it was not necessarily false.
After being stunned for a moment, Yin Ziqi immediately left the Chinese military tent. Torches were everywhere inside and outside the barracks, and the eyes were bright as if it were day. It's just that under the light of this area, there are soldiers running around everywhere.
"What happened?"
Yin Ziqi was a little angry, when did the discipline in the army get so bad?
At this time, a captain rushed over with a panicked face.
"Report to the general, it was the Tang soldiers who attacked the camp, and they made the loud noise just now. ”
"Where is Tang Bing at this time?"
Hearing that it was an attack on the camp, Yin Ziqi was a little relieved, his own side was on the defensive, and the other party was attacking. In addition, they have been strictly guarded for a long time and have arranged ambushes, and if the Tang soldiers do not come, they will pay a heavy price as long as they come. As for the rumors of the earth moving and the thunder and lightning mother, I have never seen it with my own eyes, and they are only regarded as nonsense.
"The general can rest assured, thanks to the ambush arranged in advance, Tang Bing crashed in, and he didn't even touch the edge of the barracks. Only the general is invited, do you want to send more people now?"
Yin Ziqi waved his hand.
"For the time being, there is no need, the Tang soldiers are attacking at night, there must not be many people, wait and see, the battle is clear!"
Yin Ziqi judged correctly, the main general of the night attack was surnamed Yang Mingzhen, this person was Yang Xingben's nephew of the same clan, he had been following him for more than a year, and he could already lead the troops alone and take charge alone.
Yang Zhen was also careless, he didn't expect that the rebels had already set up an ambush, opened their pockets, and waited for him to crash in. However, after all, he has experienced several major battles in Guanzhong, and even several times are cruel battles in which the enemy is strong and I am weak.
After Jue Zhongfu, Yang Zhen immediately ordered the killer weapon of the Shenwu Army, the thunderbolt cannon. This thing is both lethal and deterrent, especially for people who have never seen such a sharp weapon, as long as the explosion sounds, no one is not afraid.
He hadn't planned to make a killer move so early, but he didn't have time to think about it, and if something happened to him, more than 10,000 people might all be confessed here.
Thousands of thunderbolts exploded at the same time, and the ambushes that swarmed up suddenly eroded, especially the huge explosions that came one after another, and they were on the verge of collapse in the blink of an eye.
People are born with an instinctive fear of the unknown, and if these rebels had seen the thunderbolt cannon a long time ago, they would not have been so unhelpful, but they had not participated in the battle of Guanzhong or the battle of Xin'an.
Yang Zhen's decision reversed the situation on the battlefield in an instant, and the arrogance of the rebel ambush was instantly suppressed. Knowing that the opportunity could not be missed and never come again, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack.
The thunderbolt cannon is too heavy, and each person can only carry one, so after using the killer weapon, he can only fight the real ability.
The Shenwu Army has always been not afraid of death, and as soon as the military order was delivered, it suddenly strode forward in a neat formation.
At this time, Yin Ziqi came to the battlefield in person, and it was the first time he had seen such a charge. In the current battle, all charges are won by degrees, and with the power of victory, they charge up and crush the enemy, which is the most commonly used method. However, at this time, the progress of the Shenwu army of the night attack was not much faster than walking, and under the light of the fire, the only thing that was amazing was that although they were in motion, they could still maintain a horizontal and vertical formation.
The successive strange things were strange, and for a while, Yin Ziqi couldn't figure out what the path of this Shenwu Army was.
But no matter what path he takes, he is always a human being, and he fights in close combat, how can these Tang soldiers who rushed to the army be the opponents of the soldiers of Dayan? Yin Ziqi still has full confidence in this point, you must know that the soldiers under his command are all brought from Youzhou, which one of them has no experience in battle for three or five years? Moreover, the opponent at that time was the Khitans in the north, how could they be compared with these Tang soldiers in front of him?
"Form a formation, kill these Tang soldiers who don't know whether they are alive or dead!"
The boss arrived and quickly calmed down the panic caused by the big explosion, and returned to normal The elite of the rebels burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.
The two sides immediately fell into a fight, and at this time there was no trick to be desired, all that was fought was strength and a little luck.
Yang Zhen stared at the battlefield, and he had already conducted countless drills against the battle. But there is rarely a chance to fight a tough battle face-to-face, and the Shenwu Army has always advocated the use of clever tactics to exchange the smallest people for the greatest results. Today is helpless, crashing into someone's ambush circle, I have to grit my teeth and fight!
