Chapter 548: The Imperial Court Begins to Surrender

Originally, Li Yu, the king of Guangping, had all his attention on Guo Ziyi, but now he suddenly heard a shout, and he set his eyes on this amazing long history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Cao and Guo Ziyi followed one after the other, Li Yu noticed it from the beginning, but he only thought that this person should be Guo Ziyi's staff or cronies, but he never imagined that it was the chief of the Shenwu Army.

For example, in the Shenwu Army, only those who are different from ordinary people can hold the position, otherwise the Shenwu Army will be able to do general affairs and coordinate internally and externally, how can it be in an orderly manner, and there has not been the slightest mistake? Since Li Yu has been trained in the United Army and the private sector, he has had direct or indirect dealings with the Shenwu Army on more than one occasion, and he has been deeply impressed by this, and he has long secretly admired this capable man behind the scenes.

"It's Li Changshi?"

As he spoke, Li Yu was about to bow down again, but Li Cao opened his body intentionally or unintentionally, directly explaining his intentions.

"The subordinate is here to take charge of military affairs, and on the orders of Dr. Shi, he wants to select and transfer 100 people from the private camp. ”

Hearing that there was official business, Li Yu immediately came back to his senses, and it was naturally not a place for deliberations in front of the public, and now everyone in the camp was excited, and there was a risk of order collapsing, although it would not cause a big chaos, but in the eyes of the important figures of the Shenwu Army, who were known for their military discipline, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not see themselves clearly because of this.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Yu immediately ordered people to restore order, and those who had nothing to do were in place.

"General Guo, Li Changshi, please come into the main hall and speak!"

Seeing that Li Yu's military order was neat, Guo Ziyi and Li Cao were slightly surprised. It seems that King Guangping not only has some seniority in the army, but also has some talent, and he also has the heart to do.

After entering the main hall and taking their seats, Li Cao got straight to the point.

"In fact, the selection criteria are very simple, there is only one one, the louder the voice, the bigger the better!"

"Loud?"

Li Yu was puzzled, the private and united soldiers exist as a supplementary force and reserve source of the Shenwu Army, and there is already a set of mature criteria for selecting those who are excellent, and it is the first time that those with loud voices can be qualified.

Unlike Li Yu, Guo Ziyi had already had a brief communication with Li Cao on the road, and also roughly understood Qin Jin's intentions, so he was not surprised by this selection criterion, and only drank the tea soup calmly.

"King Guangping doesn't know that the errand assigned by the imperial doctor can only be done by this loud person!"

For this, Li Yu was also aroused, but whether it is the Shenwu Army, the United Army or the private army, there is a rule, that is, those who do nothing are allowed to interfere with the military order without authorization, and the detailed rules of the military order are naturally not something that can be inquired at will.

Maybe it was Li Cao who saw the curious look on King Guangping's face, so he said:

"After the selection and transfer is completed, it will be sent to carry out military affairs, and if the king of Guangping is interested, he can go to the city to have a look!"

Li Yu had a smile on his face, which was used to hide his embarrassment, and being recognized by others made him feel passive.

"If you don't have military affairs, you must go and see it. ”

Soon, the selection of the 100 people with the loudest voice was completed, and Li Cao led these people out of the camp and headed towards the West Gate.

On the street, suddenly an officer in the army came in a hurry, and when he saw Guo Ziyi, he gasped and said:

"It can be regarded as looking for General Guo, the doctor has an order, and today he went out of the city in advance to drill, and designated the general to personally command. ”

Li Cao smiled when he heard this.

"Yes, today's military affairs must be cooperated by General Guo!"

Around noon, thousands of Tang troops marched out of the Jinguang Gate on the west side of Chang'an and lined up and beat drums 500 paces away from the rebel camp. This kind of behavior has been a necessary part of the drills of the city's defenders since the battle that night, but today the time has been brought forward, from half an hour before sunset to noon.

There were also more than 1,000 cavalry who went out of the city with thousands of foot soldiers, maintaining a distance of 100 paces from the foot soldiers, echoing each other from afar.

At this time, Duan Xiushi visited the Chang'an city defense accompanied by Cui Guangyuan, and when he arrived at the Jinguang Gate, he suddenly heard the sound of golden drums outside the city, and saw thousands of ** arrayed outside the rebel camp, shouting and shouting, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"What's this, isn't it ......?"

It is no wonder that Duan Xiushi, who has experienced a hundred battles, was surprised and incoherent, after following Li Siye from Anxi to return to Middle-earth, he also experienced the psychological process from disdain to facing up to paying attention to the Anshi rebels.

After several battles with the rebel rangers, Duan Xiushi had to face a cruel fact, the strength of the Anshi rebels was by no means comparable to the countries of the Western Regions, or even the Great Cannibals. The rebel camp besieging Chang'an, stretching for dozens of miles, was also shocked when I first saw it, until after entering Chang'an, I saw the face of the Shenwu army, and then I was a little calm.

How could he have imagined that the Shenwu Army would dare to shout and provoke the rebels with thousands of people, no wonder he was surprised.

Cui Guangyuan looked accustomed to it, and only smiled and asked Duan Xiushi to watch patiently.

Although the people in the city all had calm expressions, Duan Xiushi still couldn't think of why the thousands of ** under the city dared to provoke the rebels so grandiosely.

Soon, he saw hundreds of soldiers with shovels digging left and right in front of the battle, as if they had buried something down, and they all retreated in about half an hour.

The sound of the golden drum quickly dissipated, followed by a shout that was louder than the other, and although it was far away, Duan Xiushi could hear it clearly.

The content of the shouting shocked Duan Xiushi even more, this voice, every sentence was actually some words of persuasion.

"Could it be that the imperial court intends to recruit rebels?"

Cui Guangyuan nodded.

"This matter was proposed by the Imperial Doctor, and His Majesty has allowed it, now it only depends on how many traitors are willing to surrender!"

Hearing this, Duan Xiushi was silent, since arriving in Chang'an, many cognitions have been subverted in one day, and the weak Tang army is actually trying to persuade the powerful rebels to surrender in a decent manner. Even if the rebels run out of food, with human breast as military food, it is not impossible to fight against it.

At the beginning, Duan Xiushi was a little disappreciative of Qin Jin, but now he feels that this person is outrageous, and he doesn't know where this person got his confidence to engage in these carving tricks.

At this moment, Duan Xiushi's emotions in his heart were contradictory, hoping that everything would go smoothly in the imperial court, and he wanted this somewhat self-indulgent and whimsical imperial historian to get the lesson he deserved, and he was responsible for the world, how could he be so frivolous and reckless?

There was nothing wrong with persuading them to surrender, but was it too child's play to put thousands of soldiers in danger because of this? Thinking of this, Duan Xiushi's face became more and more ugly, and he was only worried about the fate of the thousands of soldiers outside the city.

After shouting and persuading for about an hour, the rebel camp finally reacted, only to see the gate wide open, the iron suspension bridge falling, and thousands of rebels swarming out, and another iron infantry with thousands of men rushing from the north.

Seeing that it was a situation where two sides were about to be attacked, Duan Xiushi clenched his fists, his palms were full of cold sweat, on the surface, the rebels' men and horses were already twice as large as the Tang army outside the city, even if he ordered to retreat now, he was afraid that it would be too late, as long as he was bitten by the rebels, it would be a situation of heavy casualties.

He glanced at Cui Guangyuan, who was still the old god, and didn't feel angry, how could there be such a group of fools in the court?

"Da Yin, don't you send troops to help?"

Cui Guangyuan replied nonchalantly:

"Don't say that Cui has no authority to transfer troops, even if there is, there is no need to do more, do you know who is leading the troops in the city?"

Duan Xiu's heart moved, and he asked:

"Who?"

"Guo Ziyi!"

Cui Guangyuan said Guo Ziyi's name word by word, but Duan Xiu actually felt faintly disappointed.

He had heard of Guo Ziyi's name, and he had always been a well-known figure in the Shuofang army, and if this person really had a general, how could he not make a name for himself in the land of Shuofang in Hexi, where there were endless battles? Although this person's official position was not low, he could also come up from the camp through seniority.

"Don't worry, with the support of a thousand cavalry from the Tongluo Department, Guo Ziyi can't be defeated!"

"Tongluobu?"

Duan Xiushi was surprised again, as far as he knew, Tongluo had already been taken under the command of An Lushan, and had become the elite cavalry in the Anshi rebels, when did he defect to the Tang Dynasty?

Cui Guangyuan finally sensed the unkindness in Duan Xiushi's expression and tone, so he didn't say anything more, and only watched the progress outside the city with concern.

Since the rebels had a roar, Qin Jin's use of troops was no longer as conservative as before, and every time he was tempted, there would always be some unexpected gains.

I saw thousands of rebel soldiers from the north suddenly accelerating when they were about three hundred paces away, which was the prelude to hand-to-hand combat, as long as they were blocked by several rounds of crossbow arrows before, they were half successful. Duan Xiushi has been in battle formations for a long time, and he can't be more familiar with these battle formation routines.

But the reaction of the Tang army was too surprising, they didn't release the arrows when they should have released them, and now the rebels were less than 1500 steps away from them, and there was no hope at all if they continued like this.

Duan Xiushi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, feeling sorry for these soldiers who were about to die innocently, and hated those superiors who disregarded people's lives, and hated the roots of his teeth itching and aching.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, violent noises came and went like thunder, and the Tang Army's array was suddenly enclosed in a thick white smoke, and Duan Xiushi only felt that the city walls and the earth under his feet were trembling.

"The earth moves?"

Duan Xiushi had seen the earth shake once in Longyou, the earth trembled like this, the house collapsed instantly, and the ground cracked several feet in the blink of an eye, and there was no bottom......

At this time, Cui Guangyuan's voice came into his ears.

"General Duan, don't panic, it's not that the earth moves, this is the thunderbolt cannon of the Shenwu Army, it can be eroded as soon as it explodes, look at it, those rebels who rushed to the front have every ...... of it."

A gust of north wind blew suddenly, blowing away most of the white smoke, and I saw that the original white snow was already blood-red......
