It's Sun Hyo-cheol!

Those who are qualified to use the banner have no second person in the army outside the city except him.

"All the stone cannons, hit that flag!"

The weather was cold and could turn water into ice, but the stone artillery men were naked and sweaty, pulling ropes and bending their bow arms under the command of a unity soldier. Stone bullets tied with linen cloth were put into a round bucket, poured oil on them, and then ignited them with torches.

"Put!"

More than a dozen fireballs shot out, and more than a dozen bright arcs cut through the pitch-black sky, extending straight into the formation of the Tibetan army.

Qin Jin tried to hit Sun Xiaozhe's banner with a stone projectile, although the probability of hitting was very low, but the hit rate of hitting the pontoon bridge was not much higher, anyway, it was all luck, it was better to use it to bombard the banner.

Sure enough, a volley only fell at a distance of more than a hundred paces in front of the Fan army's formation, and this was almost the limit of the range of the stone cannon. The firing range of the stone cannon was close to four miles, and Sun Xiaozhe obviously calculated this, so he put up a banner and swaggered to watch the battle.

The stone cannon salvo did bring a riot to the Tibetan army at the beginning, and it was hit by this stone bullet weighing dozens of catties, but I was afraid that even the whole corpse would not be left. But after two rounds of volleys, the soldiers found that the range of the stone cannon was limited, and it couldn't hit them at all.

The soldiers who crossed the pontoon bridge had already climbed the second ice wall, and there would be no obstacle to move forward, and the most critical moment of the battle was coming.

Qin Jin, who had been trying his best to control his emotions, couldn't help but get agitated.

"Is there any room for improvement in the range of the stone cannon?

A stone cannon wiped his sweaty face, "I don't want a daughter, Shaofu Jun can award us a second-class medal!"

At this moment, don't say that it is the second class, even if it is the first class, as long as someone can hit the big flag, he will not be stingy!

……

To the east of Guancheng, at the mouth of the valley of the Saohe River, the fire oil and crossbow arrows on the city wall are all down, and the soldiers who defend this place have long been in chaos. Zheng Xianli led 500 united soldiers to block the mouth of the valley, and the firewood and grass piled up like a mountain were ignited, so that the rear road of the soldiers in the valley was cut off, and it was completely difficult to escape.

In this way, Zheng Xianli was still not at ease, and took people to dig the ice on the surface of the Soap River, but after the battle, Qin Jin immediately ordered him and the five hundred united soldiers under his command to immediately withdraw to the ice wall. There is a whole open area between the south of the Soap River and the Jiusaka woodland that shrinks in the direction of Xin'an in a fan shape, and the Soap River flows through it, and the ice surface alone is not enough to cover the entire open area, so this section was not planned when Qin Jin ordered the ice to be chiseled.

Just as Zheng Xianli was about to retreat into the ice wall, he saw a group of Tibetan army rangers coming straight here, so he immediately opened his formation and prepared to fight!

"Defend against the enemy with a spear formation!"

He was very uncomfortable with the spear formation of the Unity Army, but he also knew that it was the most suitable to use this formation at this time!

The battle is advancing step by step, Xin'an City's resistance to the donkey skills is poor, Sun Xiaozhe, who is sitting upright under the banner, is quite impressive, before there was a killing sound in the direction of Xin'an, and the 10,000 foot soldiers who wanted to use it for a sneak attack have already engaged the defenders, and the Tang army must be tired of coping with it now.

The rangers sent out to contact the leading general Li Cunzhong have not yet returned, but Sun Xiaozhe is not worried, the Tang army will definitely block the mouth of the Saohe Valley after discovering that the back road has been attacked. However, it has been to no avail, as long as Xin'an falls, the road from Luoyang to Tongguan will be smooth.

"General, the Tang army blocked the mouth of the Saohe Valley, and my rangers were repulsed!"

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Sun Xiaozhe frowned slightly, and a trace of shadow clouded his heart, but looking at the army advancing step by step, he was not half out of the ordinary, and he was relieved.

"Send troops and beat the Tang army back to the city!"

At this time, letting a Tang army wander on the edge of the woodland may bring them a lot of trouble.

Seeing that the first wave of siege foot soldiers stepped on the pontoon bridge to cross the Jianhe River and climbed over the ice wall more than one person high, he resolutely ordered to press on the 5,000 foot soldiers again. Up to now, nearly 20,000 siege infantry have been invested in front of the Xin'an Dong Guancheng, and it is true that it is impossible to deploy so many soldiers in front of the relatively narrow Guancheng, but he just wants to let the Tang army defending the city see the strength of the Yan army, and let them understand that in the face of absolute superiority, any cunning and cunning tricks and resistance will be futile, and it is a mantis arm as a car.

A boulder with smoke and flames suddenly fell from the sky, and the canopy of the nearby war carriage shattered in all directions!

"Quickly protect the general, protect the general......"

The stone projectile with rage fell again......

……

"Hit!"

The unity soldier who was in charge of watching exclaimed, and saw from afar that the general's banner had fallen. The stone gunners jumped to their feet and cheered excitedly, bending the stone cannon bow arm to the limit, not wanting to increase the range by a large margin.

Previously, they had carried out dozens of rounds of salvo bombardment of the pontoon bridge on the surface of the Jianhe River, and only one bomb was hit. Now after four rounds of volleys, four or five stone bullets accurately hit the target, smashing the rebel flag, and even Sun Xiaozhe, the commander of the Tibetan army, may not be killed!

Isn't this God blessing!

Qin Jin was excited for the first time, the thief captured the king first, the man shot the horse first, and Sun Xiaozhe's flag was smashed, which was a great opportunity for Xin'an.

"All the armies shouted in unison, Sun Xiaozhe is dead!"

The united soldiers at the head of Xin'an City began to shout in unison according to the order, "Sun Xiaozhe is dead! Sun Xiaozhe is dead!"

The soldiers who crossed the ice wall did not believe it, and the banner of General Ming was still standing tall in the Chinese army, and such a trick was too despicable. But when someone looked back in the direction of the Chinese army, his heart was half cold.

The commander Xuqi, who has been towering all the time, has disappeared at this moment, and he can be seen faintly from a distance, and there has long been chaos underneath.

"The Tang Army stone cannon hit the handsome car!"

I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice, and the soldiers of the Fan army, who were still like a rainbow, suddenly fell hard, and the sound of gold did not sound, so they could not withdraw their troops, and could only continue to attack the Xin'an city wall. Like rain crossbow arrows swishing down, a group of soldiers immediately fell to the ground, and in an instant, the morale was very different!

Soon after, the banner was raised again in the rebel army, and the rumbling of the war drums that inspired the attack intensified, and the trumpets whined, and five thousand more men pressed up!

Qin Jin's mouth was dry, he knew that the crucial moment had come!

"Shaofujun, is it true that the rebel commander is not dead?" asked an adjutant officer nervously.

"Don't talk nonsense, the arrow is on the string, how can there be no reason not to send it, withstand the attack of the rebels, when the sun rises in the morning, it is the time for the rebels to retreat!"

Qin Jin rebuked loudly, and now he didn't dare to be sure whether Sun Xiaozhe was dead or not! At the critical moment of the battle, he could only preach that the other party's boss was dead, and he would fight to the end!

"Report!" A hurried and heavy voice came from the inside of the city wall, and ordered the united soldiers to rush up to the city, "Report to Shaofujun, Xiguan City has a great victory, and kill the leader of the Tongluo tribe......"

Half an hour later, Qibi He also sent someone to report the victory, more than 10,000 soldiers in the valley were burned and trapped, and tens of thousands of rebels were annihilated in a battle.

The ladder of the soldiers climbed the head of Xin'an City and began to climb the city wall. After the cheers of the solidarity soldiers, they were once again in a bitter battle.

The eastern sky was faintly white, the gold and iron strikes echoed over the battlefield, and the sea water receded and rolled away. The stone gunners in the city did not intend to let them go, and the stone bullets fell one after another among the soldiers.

"Shaofu Jun is really a god, and the soldiers will withdraw their troops tomorrow!"

At this time, Qin Jin had basically determined that Sun Xiaozhe must have had an accident in the attack of the stone cannon, and even if he was not stoned to death, he should have been seriously injured and difficult to see.

The Tibetan army stopped attacking the Xin'an city wall, and the rebel company camp, which stretched for several miles, was already billowing with smoke.

Looking at the city, there were corpses everywhere, and the two ice walls were also destroyed and broken. A detail attracted Qin Jin's attention, the pontoon bridge on the Jianhe River had been washed by the flowing water, floating on the water indiscriminately.

As for the fire in the soapy valley in the south of the city, it burned for a whole day, and the smell of burnt barbecue filled the sky over the entire Xin'an. Thousands of Tongluo soldiers were captured, and the rest scattered and fled, and they no longer posed a threat to Xin'an Xiguancheng.

After surviving this day and night, the united soldiers suddenly discovered that the rebel company camp that stretched for miles outside Dongguan City had disappeared.

After a long time, someone reacted and cheered loudly: "Hu Gou withdrew, Hu Gou escaped!"

……

Chang'an Xingqing Palace, this day is a common Shuowang court meeting in the middle of the month. The ministers waiting for the upper hall gathered outside the Datong Gate, their faces solemn and trembling. When the Anshi rebels first emerged, the government and the opposition were very optimistic, believing that Anshi's generation was just clowns, and believed that it would not take long to be pacified.

But after the time entered the wax moon, bad news came one after another, first Hebei Province fell one after another, and then even the famous Feng Changqing in the Western Regions was defeated in successive battles, and the eastern capital Luoyang fell into the hands of thieves. It was only at this time that the ministers panicked, and there was a feeling that the end was coming, and the Tang Dynasty in the glorious and prosperous era had the momentum of the building in an instant.

The shrill voice of the inner eunuch sang from inside the Datong Gate: "The saint is not hesitating, stop the court today!"

At the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, is rarely absent even if he is over the age of old. Now that the dynasty is stopped, the dynasty will be stopped, is it because the emperor is really in bad health, or is there another palace change in this stormy imperial center?

Since Tianbao, the ministers have long been accustomed to the authority of the Holy Son of Heaven, and today's decline is like this, which makes people even more panicked and at a loss. Originally, I hoped to explore the prospects of the imperial court's measures at the imperial meeting, but I didn't even see the emperor's face.

Among the ministers who withdrew from Xingqing Palace together among the hundreds of officials, one was an exception.

Wei Jiansu's mansion is located in Shengye Fang, west of Xingqing Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that his eldest son Wei Qi had already returned first, waiting under the porch.

"Grandpa!"

Since ** came back from Xin'an, he has been looking for her brother all day long to make noise in his ear.

But today, Wei Jiansu solemnly called Wei Wei into the study.

"What is the name of the county court official that you are nagging all day long?"

Wei Qiguan is an important position under his subordinates, and he has the power to review and refute the edict, but he is still cautious and cautious like a child in front of his father.

"My son also thinks that what my mother said is inappropriate, and I don't see her anymore!"

Wei Jiansu's originally expressionless face stretched slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Wei Wei was obviously insincere, he had always been close to this sister, how could he refuse to see him? But he didn't say anything.

When His Majesty saw the saint today, the emperor took out a letter for Yang Guozhong to watch with him, and it was actually this county lieutenant. Li Longji also said a Chinese poem with a deep meaning: "The white horse is decorated with gold bonds, and it gallops northwest." By asking whose son is it, the ghost and the ranger ......"
