The battlefield was almost one-sided, the rebels closed their gates, the suspension bridges hoisted high, the three trenches were filled with melted snow, and the stumps and severed arms that had not rotted completely floated on them, and the thick smoke of gunpowder quickly spread, and the stench of burning sulfur masked the smell of rotting flesh.

The foot soldiers raised all kinds of weapons in their hands high, and the shouting green tendons burst out, and the entire military formation seemed to be full of slingshots, as long as they let go of their hands, they would be unstoppable, and they could not stop moving forward and forward.

However, the flag holding around Guo Ziyi has not followed up for a long time, and the fighting mood on the battlefield is still constantly fermenting and expanding.

Thunderbolts were constantly being projected into the rebel camp, and the unfortunate ones would be blown off in an instant, and the rest would have to carefully duck backwards even if they were not injured, so as not to happen to themselves again.

"Doctor Goshi has arrived!"

With a shout, Qin Jin appeared on the city wall of Chang'an, and the soldiers watching the battle immediately cheered, and they couldn't help themselves with excitement.

At this moment, they raised their eyebrows, in the months that Chang'an was besieged, they experienced despair, hesitation and even prepared to die, and today's indiscriminate bombardment of the Shenwu army also officially sounded the death knell of Sun Xiaozhe's rebels.

Qin Jin looked at the clouds of gunpowder outside the city, his heart was unusually calm, he also waited for this moment too long, too hard, but really waited for this day, only more pressure and exhaustion were felt physically and mentally.

In these hundreds of days and nights, he has not enjoyed a moment of comfort, even in his sleep, he is thinking about the change of the situation.

At the beginning of coming to this world, Qin Jin always felt that he was a participant or manipulator of a game, but only now did he suddenly realize that he was clearly being pushed forward by an invisible force, and it was difficult to stop even if he wanted to. In other words, unless he is ready to be crushed to pieces by this invisible force, then he can only keep moving forward and forward.

Thinking of this, and then looking at the Shenwu army outside the city showing off its might, Qin Jin couldn't get the slightest excitement no matter what.

Of course, he came to the city this time not to see how majestic the soldiers under his command were, but to judge the extent of the rebels through the battle situation.

Judging by the current situation, since Sun Xiaozhe can't even send a harassing force, it is enough to show that his control and command of the rebels are on the verge of collapse.

The more than 100,000 people on the periphery of Chang'an City seem to be terrifying, but in fact they have become the end of the crossbow, and I am afraid that even the dry grass stalks will be difficult to penetrate.

Qin Yan, who was following Qin Jin, kept smashing his mouth, with his character, watching others fighting outside in full swing, how could he not panic?

"Boss, let me take the brothers out to have a good time, right?"

Qin Jin ignored Qin Yan, this person was too sharp, if he didn't think about it carefully, he was afraid that he would make a big mistake sooner or later. Therefore, he decided to hide it for the time being, at least the big war within Guanzhong will not have this person's share.

"Have you completed the task assigned to you?

In order to keep him calm, and at the same time to have more room for development in the future, literacy is an essential process. Qin Yan was born as a slave and didn't know a few big characters, so he couldn't even write his name until now.

I saw that Qin Yan's face was embarrassed, but he had to answer under the stern gaze, and after hesitating for a long time, he stretched out his right arm and spread his palm, and his rootless fingers were extremely eye-catching.

"Five, five ......"

Qin Jin sneered:

"After three days of hard work, I'm afraid that you will kill more than five hundred, how can you be so incompetent in literacy?"

Qin Yan shrunk his neck and said with a shy smile:

"I was born to hold a knife with this hand, and naturally I can't hold a pen! The lord tosses me like this, isn't it a duck on the shelf?"

Qin Jin couldn't help but sneer, but then his face tightened again.

"I can't read five hundred words, even if you kill people, don't think about sitting back in the brigade rate, and always squat in the right position!"

This is a bit true, but he wanted to say 5,000 characters at first, but it was only in a blink of an eye that he realized that he was afraid that not many people could know 5,000 Chinese characters at this time, so he changed his words to 500. Even if it is 500 Chinese characters, it is also an insurmountable suffering for Qin Yan.

At this time, Qin Jin's mind was attracted by the situation outside the city, and the rebels facing him were wide open, the suspension bridges were lowered one after another, and the rebels were like locusts, swarming out.

Seeing this, Qin Yan couldn't help but exclaim excitedly:

"The traitor can't stand it, please surrender when you open the door!"

However, Qin Jin's brows furrowed, even if the rebels in the gate couldn't stand the bombardment of the thunderbolts, they could still go in the direction outside the city, why did they come in the direction of the city?

Thoughts were swirling in my head, but the situation outside was changing rapidly.

Of course, Guo Ziyi would not turn a blind eye to such a large group of rebels, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to prepare, as long as these people dared to enter within 100 steps of the formation, they would be shot indiscriminately.

The chaotic rebels were disorganized, and they only rushed towards the Shenwu army at an extremely fast speed, blindly advancing like a mudslide carrying the rocks and muddy water.

"Crossbowmen volley!"

At the sound of an order, thousands of crossbow arrows burst through the air in unison, drawing shallow arcs and smashing down on the top of the rebels' heads.

In the blink of an eye, people turn their backs.

After three rounds in quick succession, the rebels seemed to have lost their direction and fled in all directions.

Qin Jin on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why this rebel army was like this should have been driven by the warlords, but because they had no will to fight, they scattered and fled after suffering three volleys of crossbow arrows.

It was such details that gave him a better understanding of the situation in the rebel camp. At least the defenders of the battalions were still struggling to maintain restraint on their subordinates, but there were only a few means left at their disposal, such as the Warlords.

Sure enough, the smoke gradually dissipated, and some rebels tried to flee back to the camp, but were all shot by random arrows from the camp.

The rebels who have been driven out have become outcasts, left to fend for themselves.

Guo Ziyi did not intend to exterminate these people, and the several volleys of crossbow arrows were only for the purpose of dispersing, preventing them from impacting the military formation, and the actual damage caused was extremely limited.

Seeing this, Guo Ziyi ordered the soldiers to shout and persuade them to surrender.

"Whoever will descend, the instrument, fall to the ground!"

Throwing away weapons can incapacitate the rebels, while lying on the ground can render them completely incapacitated.

Soon, the shouting and persuasion of surrender had an effect, and after scurrying around like headless flies for a while, they put down their weapons and lay down on the spot.

At the same time, the capture army under Changshi Li Cao came in handy again, and according to the custom, these people were counted and gathered one by one, and led to a designated place outside the city, waiting for specific examination, and only those who passed could enter the camp smoothly.

Today's big action was only thunder and rain in the end, and there was no further action except for the thunderbolt bombardment, which was much more fierce than usual.

However, the harvest was not small, and nearly 5,000 soldiers were collected in the First World War, which was also equivalent to the vitality of the weakened rebels.

However, after being silent for several days, criticism of Qin Jin resurfaced.

This time, it was a courtier who impeached him, deliberately stopping his troops and raising his own dignity.

To put it bluntly, it is dissatisfied with this extremely conservative counterattack, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is a motive behind it. But no matter what, a self-respecting hat was buttoned down, which made Guo Ziyi extremely nervous, and he found Qin Jin that night, so that he had to clear up this possibility no matter what, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

Prior to this, Guo Ziyi had been immersed in military affairs and rarely spoke about the disputes in the court.

This made Qin Jin also pay attention to it. When you think about it, there are a lot of intriguing things about it. Once the siege of Chang'an is lifted, it means that the crisis situation in the imperial court has officially taken a turn for the better, and the external crisis pressure has suddenly disappeared or decreased, so the forces against the Shenwu Army and himself will inevitably re-emerge.

In this regard, Qin Jin has long been surprised, in the Tang Dynasty to lead troops to quell the rebellion, you must be hard with both hands, the internal fighting is unmatched, and the external fighting is like a bamboo, only in this way can you ensure that you are not crushed by that invisible force.

Qin Jin closed his eyes and recalled various records, such as Wang Zhonghei, Yan Zhenqing and other loyal ministers and famous generals, didn't they all fail to die at the hands of foreign enemies, and finally died in the internal fighting?

Thinking of Yan Zhenqing, Qin Jin couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, this famous minister united with the fifteen counties of Hebei Province to fight against it at the beginning of An Lushan's rebellion, and stubbornly persevered to the end, but unfortunately thirty years later, he was framed by the traitor Lu Qi and killed him under the pretense of the hands of the feudal town. The tragic ending is really embarrassing.

And the "traitor" Lu Qi was in Hedong Road at this time, leading the main force of the Shenwu Army to fight desperately against the rebels of Shi Siming's department.

I hope that thirty years later, Lu Qi will not become a traitor again!

Qin Jin recited truthfully and silently!

"Do you want me to abandon the established strategy and launch a counterattack against the rebels at any cost?"

Although the thought in my heart was clear and clear, I still couldn't help but complain.

Guo Ziyi thought about it, but did not respond immediately, and finally hesitated and said:

"The key is not outside the city, but inside the palace!"

Qin Jin knew that he was hinting that as long as he obtained the understanding of the Son of Heaven, then everything would be solved.

But then, Guo Ziyi sighed again.

"It's a pity that in this matter, the Son of Heaven only looks at the results, and will not listen to the causes!"

……

"Marshal, don't hesitate any longer, today's Tang army just threatened, and collected thousands of my soldiers, if it really comes to attack, it will be the end of the day!"

Zhang Tongru persuaded Sun Xiaozhe bitterly.

"Escape, the shame of the defeated army will always be with me, and it is not more painful to live with this shame than to die?"

How could Sun Xiaozhe, who was arrogant and arrogant, tolerate this kind of humiliation, so he had already made up his mind at the beginning of the doomed defeat.
