"Oh?" Zhang Yang's face suddenly showed excitement, and said, "Where is it!" ”

Shang Chuang smiled mysteriously and said: "The lion regiment is a cavalry regiment, equipped with more than 2,500 war horses, now they have less than half of the personnel, although the war horses also have losses, but how to say that there are more than 1,000 free, although there are only more than 1,000 war horses, but how to say it is better than nothing, but now the dilemma is, how to ask for horses for the lion regiment, you must know that war horses are a scarce thing now, if you ask for horses for the lion regiment, then Liu Dazhuang will definitely not give it." ”

Zhang Yang listened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Shang, thank you, you first help me select three thousand good men, as for the matter of war horses, I have a way." ”

"Okay, it's not hard to pick a good recruit. It's just Xiao Yang, when will you go to the battlefield as a soldier? Shang Chuang looked at this ghostly child and said jokingly.

Zhang Yang pursed his mouth and said, "Give me three months, and I can turn them into an elite division!" ”

"Also, Uncle Shang, I'll write a letter to the general in a while, please send someone to help me deliver it."

Shang Chuang smiled: "Zhong, no problem!" ”

Outside the city of Xi'an, Liu Xia and the others were discussing in the tent, when suddenly there was a sound of smashing footsteps from outside, and then only one of the guards shouted: "The general's letter from the city." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xia was a little surprised, after all, he had just sent a scout to make them surrender not long ago, according to the scout, not only was no one willing to surrender, but some people even wanted to shoot him with bows and arrows, but fortunately the people around the man stopped him. Liu Xia received information that the people in the city would rather die than give in, so Liu Xia gathered all the generals together and then discussed the siege of the city tomorrow.

"Bring it and let me see it." After saying that, the soldier walked in, and then handed a sealed grass-colored envelope to Liu Xia, who immediately tore open the envelope and took out a neat chapter of paper from it, only to see that the paper was densely covered with words.

After reading it, Liu Xia smiled and said: "This is the people in Xi'an City who want to surrender, and they are also Lu Dingguo and Li Cunmao among the five tiger generals under Li Wentao." ”

After hearing this, Wang Shishi shouted: "What five tiger generals, it's just a group of rabble, and they call themselves five tigers, I think it's that little mouse!" Liu Xia smiled and shook his head, these five tiger generals are indeed weak, more than a little worse than Liu Bei's five tiger generals. Liu Xia smiled: "Stone, haven't you heard that the tiger is not in the mountain, and the monkey is the overlord?" ”

"Hehe, I really haven't heard of it," Wang Shishi scratched his hair and said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, now that Li Cunmao and Lu Dingguo want to surrender, the strategy we discussed before will have to be changed. Of course, Lu Dingguo and Li Cunmao can't be fully believed now, and now it cannot be ruled out that they are a trick to surrender. But we can also use these two men to help us open the gates. Regardless of whether Lu Dingguo and Li Cunmao surrender or not, we will start attacking the city tomorrow. In addition, Li Cunmao and Lu Dingguo were given orders, so that they could cooperate with the army to open the city gate tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"Yes," the guard received the order and hurried down.

The guard came to a wooded area, handed Liu Xia's military order to a scout sent out from the city, and the scout took the letter and nodded, and then rode away quickly.

It didn't take long for Liu Xia's military order to reach the hands of Li Cunmao and Lu Dingguo, and after Li Cunmao read it, his brows furrowed, and he said to Lu Dingguo: "This Liu Xia asked us to open the city gate when they attacked the city." After thinking about it, Lu Dingguo responded: "We have to do this thing, otherwise we won't be able to gain Liu Xia's trust, if we don't follow Liu Xia's orders, Liu Xia will treat us as a fraudulent surrender instead of a real surrender, if Liu Xia breaks through the city, then all our previous actions will be in vain." ”

"What Brother Lu said is that it just so happens that the guard of the south city gate will be the descendant of the younger brother, and it will not be difficult for us to open the city gate when the time comes. I'm afraid that Wang Chenghua will come to make trouble when the time comes. Li Cunmao feels uncomfortable every time he thinks of Wang Chenghua, and Li Cunmao is like a great enemy for Wang Chenghua. Lu Dingguo said in a condensed voice: "Brother, don't worry, I'll stop that Wang Chenghua when the time comes, and then my brother will go down and open the city gate, and then we will become the Pingbei Army, and the glory and wealth will be ours." Haha".

On the morning of the 27th, the low and desolate horn sounded continuously, which was the horn of the attack of the Pingbei Army. The Lion Regiment is a cavalry regiment, and now there are more than 1,000 people left to be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and now because it is a cavalry regiment, there is no need to attack the city, and the task of the cavalry is to pursue and sweep the enemy. It was the soldiers of the Second Lion Regiment and the Guards Regiment who attacked, and Liu Xia was standing on top of the chariot at this time, with the protection of the guards beside him, and the remaining men and horses of the Eagle Yang Guard behind him.

The Guards Regiment and the Second and Third Regiments were all musketeers, but because the muskets were not mature enough, these soldiers were also pikemen or broadswordmen. The soldiers pushed six or seven ladders to the tower step by step, and at the same time a row of more than twenty cannons that stayed not far away were facing the tower, and once the order was given, the more than twenty cannons would bombard it in unison.

"Woo woo woo ~ ~~" The horn still sounded continuously, and the soldiers approached the city tower step by step with neat steps, and the solemn military appearance made the enemy soldiers above the city tower look timid.

"The Pingbei Army is going to attack, it's going to attack. They have cannons! ”

"Let me see, there are really cannons, there are more than 20 cannons, the cannons on our city tower have long been damaged, and there are a few intact, but there are no shells. How can this give them a war! ”

"Everyone, don't talk about it, prepare the wood rolling stone and the golden juice, and let the Pingbei army taste the taste of this golden juice in a while."

On the other side, Liu Xia looked at the city gate in the distance with a telescope, and now the city gate has not been opened at this time. However, Liu Xia saw Li Cunmao walking down the city tower. Liu Xia immediately waved his hand, and the commander beside him understood Liu Xia's gesture, so he waved the command flag, and then the more than 1,000 cavalry quickly rushed to the battlefield.

Now that the city had not yet been opened, the cavalry rushed first, which confused the enemy troops above the tower, but they soon learned what the problem was, because the gate of the tower had been opened.

Wang Chenghua shouted angrily: "Hurry, stop that traitor!" Fast! He must not be allowed to open the gates. Saying that, Wang Chenghua was about to run down the city tower with his weapon, but at this time, Lu Dingguo came over and blocked Wang Chenghua's way. Wang Chenghua then said angrily: "Lao Tzu knows that you two are uneasy and kind, and that's the case." Now it's a goddamn thing to collaborate with the enemy, watch me kill you! Saying that, Wang Chenghua killed Lu Dingguo. At the same time, the soldiers on the tower were also in a mess, and these soldiers did not know whether to surrender or continue to attack the Pingbei army.

"Crunch, squeak, squeak!" The gates of the city were opened, and then the galloping cavalry rushed into the city first, and then the guards and the second and third regiments also entered it, and the sound of killing was everywhere.

"Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! ”

Liu Xia put down the binoculars in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have already taken the city, Yu Mingjun, you go and arrest Li Wentao for me." ”

Yu Mingjun immediately led the order to lead the soldiers of the Eagle Yangwei to ride war horses into the city of Xi'an.

"Driving"

Despite the chaos outside, Li Wentao was still sluggish in his bed at this time, and the maids and servants in the house were already in a mess, running around like headless flies. There was no one to take care of him, so although the house was littered with vomit, no maid came to clean it up.

A lot of good things in the governor's palace were put in their bags by those maids and servants, and then they wanted to escape from the palace and run outside, but at this time, the city was in chaos, full of soldiers, where was there a safe place? As soon as many maids ran out of the house, they were stopped by a few ruffians and hooligans, and then carried them to a dilapidated small courtyard, stripped them of their clothes, and raped them.
