Yuan Fu was also out of the way, and asked stiffly:

"Doesn't Zhang Xiang want to protect the children of the clan?"

Zhang Yan burst into laughter again, and then high-fived and said:

"Yuan Xianggong is really a handsome man, how can Zhang not protect the children of the clan?"

Yuan Fu originally thought that Zhang Yan would refuse, but he didn't expect it to be this long-awaited answer.

"When, really?"

"When did Zhang have a joke!"

"Okay, okay, since Zhang Xiang has said this, the old man will go back to the Son of Heaven now, and let the court be fully prepared. ”

Just as he was about to leave, Yuan Fu turned back and asked:

"With the current situation in Fan Yang City, can you still send an envoy?"

"Rest assured, anything is possible!"

……

Before the sun set, Shi Siming's troops launched the largest and most powerful assault in recent days, and it was clear that they were determined to succeed, or if they did not succeed, they could only fail. The main elites that had been retained for a whole day were finally all sent out, and they took turns to launch a suicidal assault on the city wall, with only one purpose, that is, to take Fanyang City before dark.

In a mountainous area less than five miles away from here, tens of thousands of Hedong Shenwu troops have long been gearing up. After Lu Qi received the report from Tanma, he immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to divide into two routes, left and right, and attack alternately.

At this point, the first major battle of the Shenwu Army after arriving on the outskirts of Fanyang City began.

Shi Siming made all the preparations and estimates, but he never expected that he was stabbed from behind. All the elite main forces were almost pinned down on the battlefield in a section of the city wall,

As a last resort, Shi Siming had to personally take the guards and entourage to the top. However, he immediately found that he was too optimistic about the reality, the attack launched by the Shenwu Army was obviously extremely fierce, and this time it was almost impossible to repel the opponent's attack with the weak and the strong.

"Luo Yue, where is Luo Yue?"

To this day, Luo Yue is the only one Shi Siming can still trust, and it is also an old department that still follows him.

"Your Majesty, the Tang army is strong, let's withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out!"

Shi Siming burst into laughter.

"Can it still be withdrawn? What is the difference between withdrawing now and not withdrawing?"

All the elites have pounced on Fanyang City, even if it is broken now, what is the point? The Shenwu Army can follow behind and eat them cleanly.

"Report!, it's been killed, and the city is broken......"

The good news came too late, Shi Siming looked up to the sky and smiled, does it still make sense now that the city is broken?

"Kill, kill it, fight to break the net!"

He repented, he hated, and both sons betrayed him one after another. If Shi Chaoyi's betrayal only pushed him into the quagmire of anger, and the betrayal of his most beloved son, Shi Chaoqing, made him fall into the abyss of despair.

The attack of the Shenwu Army was like a pair of iron pincers, slamming along the sides of Shi Siming's department, so that Shi Siming's department was cut into two sections with little room for resistance. And Shi Siming was caught in the middle by a pair of iron tongs, he and Luo Yue tried to forcibly break away from the siege of the Shenwu Army, but at this time they had reached the end of the crossbow, and they were not the opponents of the Shenwu Army at all.

The Hedong Shenwu Army is equipped with relatively few types of firearms in the Shenwu Army sequence, but it still has a large number of * as the basic weapon, such as the Thunderbolt Cannon, which can be thrown with just your hands.

After several years of improvement, today's thunderbolt cannon is different from the past, on the one hand, it greatly reduces the weight of the thunderbolt cannon, and on the other hand, increases its power.

The two rounds of throwing of the grenadiers completely disrupted Shi Siming's troops.

The originally invincible Youyan Iron Army was like a mess of mud at this time, and it was no longer the brave warrior of the past.

Lu Qi saw the Shenwu army rushing into the Yan army's formation, and he couldn't help but sigh greatly, he led the Shenwu army to support in Hedong for four years, and was almost powerless to fight back by Shi Siming's Yan army, and today's decisive battle was actually won in a one-sided situation. It gave him the illusion of a punch in the air.

However, no matter what, fewer dead people is the best situation for the Shenwu Army.

"Report! Qiu Sima sent a messenger in the city!"

"Great, bring me to see me!"

Lu Qi had been waiting for Qiu Bai's reply for a long time, and now he felt the need to receive a complete Fanyang City, not Fanyang City that Zhanshuo had destroyed.

Therefore, he told the messenger sent by Qiu Bai that he must keep Fan Yang City, and he must not let the puppet Yan court break the net and destroy Fan Yang City.

……

In Fanyang City, the soldiers and horses besieging the city broke through the defense line at the gap and rushed into the inner side of the city wall in one fell swoop, and they rushed to the city gate like a tide, intending to open the city gate and let in the large number of men and horses outside the city. However, when they arrived at the inside of the city gate, they found that the city gate had long been masonry and could not be opened in a short time.

The thieves who had lost their target began to rush indiscriminately, and Zhang Yan's men and horses were in charge of the last line of defense, and he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot with all their might, so as to kill all the thieves who rushed in.

Seeing that there were more and more thieves entering the city, Zhang Yan's heart gradually cooled, knowing that the defenders on the city wall were already difficult to resist Shi Siming's attack, and if there was no turnaround, he would have to give his life here.

However, the urgent situation no longer allows him to regret it, and if he can stop it for a moment, it will be counted as a moment.

At this time, Qiu Bai's general flag was suddenly erected on the city wall, and a rain of arrows was thrown from top to bottom, chasing the tail of the thief soldier is three rounds, and the pressure faced by Zhang Yan was immediately reduced a lot.

As a result, Zhang Yan, who was already close to despair, regained his confidence, as long as Qiu Bai still stuck to the city wall, there must be hope.

Suddenly the soldiers in the city shouted in unison:

"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!"

Zhang Yan's spirit suddenly perked up, and he knew that this so-called reinforcement must and could only be the Shenwu Army.

If the Shenwu Army has successfully arrived at Fanyang City, Shi Siming will never have a chance to turn over, thinking of Yuan Fu's previous statement, he feels that he can mobilize these old guys and add a strength is a strength.

Just thinking of this, he saw a group of brightly armored Yulin troops running on the street in the direction of the palace.

The leader is a former official of the Acting Palace, and Zhang Yan is very familiar with him.

"Zhang Xiang, Your Majesty ordered me to wait for someone to help!"

"It's time to kill all these fish that slipped through the net!"

The addition of this group of new forces made Zhang Yan breathe a long sigh of relief, he knew that if there was no cooperation from all parties, maybe today would be a hurdle that could not be overcome.

However, Shi Siming's diehard loyalists in the city have been killed by Qiu Bai, and the heads of Cao Dun and others are still hanging at the head of the city.

Only Shi Chaoqing, he was Shi Siming's most beloved son, Shi Siming poured almost everything into him, and even tried to kill Shi Chaoyi several times to pave the way for him. As a result, Shi Chaoqing not only failed to hold the Fanyang City that Shi Siming handed over to him, but instead usurped the throne in a daze, causing Shi Siming to fall into a desperate situation.

How can such a dim and incompetent person rule the world?

The misfortune of the pseudo-Yan, the luck of the Tang Dynasty!

About half an hour later, the thieves who rushed into the city were basically killed, and the offensive outside the city came to an abrupt halt. Qiu Bai went down to the city covered in blood, and he couldn't tell which of the blood stains on his body belonged to him and which ones belonged to others.

"Shi Siming can't do it, the Shenwu Army has already torn them apart outside, and they are about to be wiped out!"

Qiu Bai must have a lot of wounds on his body, and I saw the corners of his mouth twitch a few times unconsciously when he smiled, obviously touching the wound.

"When will the army enter the city?"

"We have to wait, Shi Siming's remnants have not been completely cleared, and if he rushes into the city, there may be some accidents!"

"That's right, let's guard Fan Yang!

At the right time, Yuan Fu rushed over regardless of the knife and gun, and was inexplicable by the conversation between Qiu Bai and Zhang Yan.

"Dare to ask, General Qiu, where is the so-called Wang Shi?"

Without waiting for Qiu Bai to answer, Zhang Yan smiled and said:

"Where else can it be, naturally it is the Tang Dynasty that the old minister wants to vote for!"

"This, this...... The old man was confused......"

He wanted to question why Tang Bing came so quickly, but after all, he was active, and immediately understood that Zhang Yan must have been in contact with Qiu Bai and Tang Dynasty for a long time, but they were all kept in the dark.

However, if you know these words, you know them, but there is no need to say them, anyway, the current result is the most appropriate result in his opinion, as for what someone in the middle did, so what does it matter?

Yuan Fu has been confused all his life, and now he is confused to the end, which is a consistent way to protect himself.

After making up his mind, Yuan Fu smiled and congratulated Qiu Bai and Zhang Yan.

At this time, Qiu Bai noticed that Zheng Jing, who had never left him, was missing.

So I had to arrange someone else to quickly clean up the dead bodies on the city wall, and at the same time found a large number of broken stones and bricks to simply fill the gap, and there must not be any mistakes.

Yuan Fu is responsible for all these tasks, and he is about to defect to the Tang Dynasty, so he has to have some credit for it, right? He is old and frail, and he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, so it's still okay to do what he can.

So, he immediately organized those improvised patchwork of feather forests to go to the city to clean up after the war, and it was not until he personally went to the city that he knew the tragedy of today's battle. The true color of the masonry was no longer visible on the corridor of the city wall, and the foothills were full of black-brown viscous blood that had not yet coagulated, staining the soles of the boots.

The strong smell of blood filled his mouth and nose, and Yuan Fu finally couldn't help it, and vomited wildly like most of the Yulin, and spit out the food in his stomach like turning over the river and the sea.

Fortunately, Yuan Fu didn't just care about vomiting, but also spared his time to observe the enemy situation outside the city, but this look almost made him vomit again.

I saw that countless corpses were densely stacked on top of each other, and they were paved into a slope that went straight up to the city wall......
