Xin'an, the western section of Guancheng was dusty, and countless people were shirtless, shouting trumpets, like swarms of ants. The guard general Ling Fox Chao led a large number of subordinates and walked two laps from south to north, even if the people almost used their strength to eat, he still felt very dissatisfied with the current progress.

At present, the Tang army is less than 100 miles away from Xin'an, and we only hope that they will be able to build the Xin'an city wall a few feet higher for a few more hours.

A few days ago, a bold and reckless Tang army actually sneaked from the river valley north of Guancheng to the east of Guancheng, and not only burned the grain supplied to the army, but also attacked the grain routes everywhere, which made him very annoying. However, fortunately, Xin'an is less than 100 miles away from Luoyang, and although the grain has been burned, it can still be supplied from Hanjiacang in time, which does not pose a fatal threat to the guards of Xin'an.

In the past few days, the group of men and horses has disappeared, and gradually no longer attacks the regimental soldiers near Xin'an. Therefore, Ling Fox Chao proudly concentrated all his energy and did his best to make full preparations, intending to let Qin Jin, who was rumored to have never been defeated, collapse under Xin'an City.

Since killing Zhang Xun, Ling Huchao has been extremely appreciated by the King of Jin, and even jumped to the same level as Yin Ziqi, an old general of the An family. Therefore, along with the glory, there is also pressure, once this battle is lost, those self-proclaimed old generals of the An clan will kill them mercilessly.

As the saying goes, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, Ling Huchao is an official who is good at drilling camps, otherwise it would be impossible to switch from the county orders of the Tang Dynasty to the Yan Army.

Since ancient times, the defense of the city has relied on the high and deep pools of the city, the soldiers and horses are complete, and the grain and grass are sufficient. At this moment, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass can be continuously supported by Luoyang, and only the section of the city is high and deep is a headache. Since Ling Huchao was appointed as the general of Xin'an, he has gathered a large number of people to build the city wall in the western section of Guancheng. This section of the city wall is about three miles from north to south, and it has been increased by more than five or six feet in ten days.

The Xin'an city wall is now nearly two zhang high from a distance, but don't underestimate the five or six feet of the city wall, which is often a small section of height, which will cost the attacking side tens of thousands of lives.

"Report, report!"

The war horse galloped, from west to east, and came from the dust. Immediately, before the knight entered the city, he had already begun to shout the urgent report!

This urgent report made Ling Huchao's heart suddenly tighten, and the secret passage was finally here.

What he expected was true, and sure enough, the Tang army pulled out the camp and marched eastward.

"Herald, call it a day!"

The people received the military order, but they did not rejoice. For them, repairing the city was only the beginning of suffering. Because even if the city is repaired, once the two armies fight, the black-hearted general surnamed Linghu will drive them to the battlefield to fill their lives.

Rather than die tragically under the ** sword soldiers, these people would rather die of exhaustion on the construction site. After all, as long as you grit your teeth and hold on, there is still hope of survival, and once you are on the battlefield, under the bow and sword, it is really a life of death.

Ling Fox Chao began to order people to drive away the people, but the direction of the drive was not in the city, but outside the city. When tens of thousands of people gathered outside the west gate, the thick city gate was closed, and at the same time, people began to fill the prepared sand and gravel into the city gate hole. This was to completely cut off the possibility of the Tang army breaking the gate and to build the gate of Xiguancheng to death.

A military official looked at the crowds of people outside the city, and felt a little unbearable.

"General, there are so many people, it is better to select some strong ones to fill the regiment......"

Ling Fox Chao waved his hand absolutely.

"Don't you want to expand the number of men and horses? However, the supply of grain and grass is only enough to sustain 30,000 people, and if there are more, you can only starve to death in vain!"

After that, Ling Huchao was reluctant to say more. As a matter of fact, the grain of these people was scavenged from various local villages, but the amount was limited after all, and even if the Tang army did not come, it would only be enough to last for four or five days.

After a long time, so many people have run out of food, and I am afraid that they will not obediently wait for death. Instead of staying and becoming a hidden danger, it is better to let them exert their last residual heat and consume the strength of the Tang army as life-fillers!

According to the inference of Linghu Chao, the Tang army should arrive at the city early tomorrow morning at most, and then before sunset, the shadow of the Tang army began to appear outside the city of Xiguan one after another, at first it was a group of cavalry, followed by a large number of foot soldiers, the sun has not yet set down the mountain, and the outside of Xin'an City has already been lined with flags, covering the sky and the sun!

Xin'an is a closed city blocked between two mountains, and the river valley in the north is blocked by the Linghu tide, and the people who are congested outside the city have been chaotic and noisy.

Some military officials in the city were worried that the people who were blocked outside surrendered to the Tang army, but Ling Huchao was very determined.

"Fang Xuan killed tens of thousands, who still has the courage to take the initiative to give his life with both hands?"

……

The Shenwu Army marched extremely fast, and Yan Tong, who was traveling with the army, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He has experienced a lot of big scenes in the land of Youyan, but it seems that the marching speed of the Shenwu Army is unprecedented, unheard of. Even the most elite foot soldiers around An Lushan were not as fast as the Shenwu Army.

Yan Tong was shocked and secretly speculated, it seems that the rumored Shenwu Army may not be exaggerated, if it is not for his own eyes, who can believe that the mileage of nearly 100 miles has only taken one day's effort.

Set up camp that night, and early the next morning, Qin Jin issued a military order to storm Xin'an City.

At this time, the people who gathered outside Xiguan City and shrunk into a ball became a human defense line in front of the Shenwu Army.

The sun was dazzling, and the war drums were rumbling. Qin Jin immediately slashed, and beside him was Prime Minister Fang Xuan. Although this person's fate was already doomed, Qin Jin still gave him enough respect.

Fang Xuan found the people blocked outside the city last night, if they were all killed with crossbow arrows according to their previous temperament. But since he experienced all kinds of troubles in setting up a private enterprise, he also began to look at the problem from another angle. For example, these people are all local people, and killing one person may offend ten people.

Therefore, Fang Xuan had suggested that Qin Jin should mainly recruit these people last night. Unexpectedly, Qin Jin rejected his suggestion, and concluded conclusively that those people would not surrender even if they died.

Today's fact is true, several shouts and persuasions in exchange for a few responses, but no one comes.

All the efforts that should have been made have been made, and Qin Jin resolutely ordered that the whole army should shout for these people to flee for their lives within an hour, otherwise they would face each other with arrows, swords and guns.

In fact, the only way for the people to escape for their lives was the steep mountain road, and tens of thousands of people wanted to pour into the mulberry forest, where was the easy task?

The sound of drums and horns, and as time passed bit by bit, beads of sweat appeared on Fang Xuan's head, crackling and rolling down.

At this moment, a shocking scene appeared, those people who felt that there was no hope of escaping turned out to wield hammers and shovels, and rushed over with screams and shouts.

This kind of courage to hit a stone with an egg shocked Fang Xuan's heart, and he suddenly understood why the people would rather fight to the death than surrender. When he led his troops eastward, he slaughtered the surrendered regiment soldiers several times in a row, so that everyone was afraid of him, and no one dared to surrender easily.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, and he made trouble for a long time, which was all the evil cause he planted at the beginning.

He glanced at Qin Jin again, obviously this person had already understood the reason for this, so he just didn't break it. In the end, I still saved face for myself.

Thinking thoroughly, the more embarrassed Fang Xuan became, in front of someone Qin, who he had always regarded as a tiger and wolf, his earlier psychological advantage and arrogance were gone.

But I heard Qin Jin sigh:

"I don't know how to survive, but I want to rush to die, don't blame the sword and arrow for being ruthless!"

At this point, Fang Xuan suddenly realized, don't look at Qin Jin's cold face all the time, in fact, it was not until this moment that he completely moved his murderous intentions against those people.

The crossbow arrows rose and fell like rain, and the rabble composed of the people was like a chicken, tile and dog in front of the Shenwu army, and before they could touch the front of the Shenwu army, they had already been hit by the crossbow arrows. However, after all, there are many people, and after the rewind like a tide, they will fight back......

For most of the day, the Shenwu army was repeatedly tugging with these people, but the rebels in Xin'an Guan City became spectators.

However, the rebels were not completely lively, and several times shot into the Shenwu army with powerful bed crossbows, and nearly 100 people were killed and seriously injured as a result. However, the number of bed crossbows is limited, and there is no way to achieve more results otherwise.

Seeing the sun slanting in the west, Ling Fox Chao stretched his waist comfortably, and his eyes showed undisguised pride and excitement.

In today's battle, the role of tens of thousands of life-filling people was brought into full play, and Qin Jin, the commander of the Shenwu Army, did not have the ruthlessness of Prime Minister Fang Xuan, and he spent most of his day with these life-filling ghosts, and he had always gained and lost at least half of his sharpness.

"Go back and recharge, tomorrow is the time for you to show off your skills!"

As long as the sun sets, the Tang army can only withdraw its troops, so Ling Hu Chao is sure that Qin and Jin will soon withdraw their troops and stop fighting.

He guessed correctly, about half an hour later, the sound of rapid gold and iron knocking sounded in the Shenwu Army's array. This is the order to withdraw troops that prevail on the battlefield.

The generals of the Shenwu Army were all depressed, and the soldiers were also physically exhausted and listless.

Fang Xuan didn't expect that the originally majestic Shenwu Army actually lost the first battle, and it was a big loss to a group of people who filled their lives. But he also discovered from this that although Qin Jin has a bad reputation, he actually loves the people in his bones.

One rhetorical question after another was repeatedly tapping on his chest, could it be that he had misseen this person from the beginning? Could it be that this person was not a traitor in the mouth of the government and opposition officials?

As night fell, the Shenwu army retreated to the camp five miles away from Guancheng. At this time, Fang Xuan was surprised to find that there was another group of people with a large scale out of the camp......
