The combined forces of the Lower Tang and Western Liang did not give the Liang Dynasty much time to prepare, and the 200,000-strong army was 50 miles outside the city at the end of September. In order to escape the war, the people outside the capital fled and hid, and no one appeared on the street as far as the eye could see.

As Jin Chongwu's personal prisoner, Xuan Shaoning was allowed to be with the army on the day of the siege and watched the battle unfold before his eyes. In order to show his treatment for Xuan Shaoning, Jin Chongwu specially ordered someone to guard him and found an excellent viewing position for him.

When Xuan Shaoning stood on a high place and looked at the capital, there was a person who was also standing on the top of the city looking at the army, he was Yan Keran, but the two of them were so far away that it was impossible to see each other.

What's even more different is that one is that the prisoners are powerless in the face of the siege of the capital, and the other is shouldering the responsibility of defending the capital. Yan Keran's mind could not be calmed for a long time, just an hour ago, all the generals attended the pre-war meeting together, which was presided over by Shen Qianji.

Shen Qianji finally persuaded Emperor Liang to fight without retreating, and at the same time, in order to show his determination to resist to the end, he took on the heavy responsibility of defending the Beijing Division, on the premise that Emperor Liang agreed to hand over the entire army to him to command.

Tangtai Wengu was the first to stand up against it, and the reason was very sufficient: Shen Qianji was just a scholar, how could he understand the war? Moreover, he is the secretary of Dali Temple, and he has nothing to do with the war. How can such a man lead an army of 100,000?

The generals have stood on the side of Wengu, and at the same time, many Wenchen also think that Shen Qianji is embarrassed. At this juncture, the first person to take a stand in support of Shen Qianji turned out to be Yan Keran.

Yan Keran walked into the hall in a military uniform, and his words and deeds surprised all the ministers present and even Emperor Liang himself.

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the last general agrees that Lord Shen will lead the army. And the last general is willing to lead the royal forest guard to participate in the defense of the capital, and die to protect the capital! The safety of the Imperial City is to be handed over to the forbidden army with the permission of the Holy Lord! ”

Shen Qianji seized the opportunity to persuade Emperor Liang: "Holy Lord, it stands to reason that the deployment of the whole capital is the most clear in the military department, but since the death of Lord Cao, the position of Shangshu has been vacant, and in recent times, Weichen has been familiar with the deployment of troops in the whole city through the military department. The total strength of the three armies in the capital is only 100,000, and the combat effectiveness is only 50,000, and the rest are some old soldiers and remnants. ”

It was obvious that Wengu had put himself in too prominent a position, and the previous infighting with the Guangyuan army had led to the defeat of the war, and at this time he stood up and spoke just by virtue of Emperor Liang's last vestiges of confidence in the Divine Killing Cavalry. After all, he was too young, compared to his father, he was still too immature, and he was actually asked by Shen Qianji at this moment.

These have long been in Shen Qianji's calculations, and he is eloquent

"There are nine gates in the capital, but two of them will be the main targets of the enemy's attack, that is, Huayang Gate and Jinchuan Gate, which are not only the closest to the enemy, but also the two most spacious of the nine gates. Most of the enemy troops are cavalry and highly mobile, and they will definitely choose between these two gates as the main attack. ”

"So, how are you going to arrange your troops?" This time it was Emperor Liang who asked.

"The other seven city gates have been arranged, and the generals selected from the Divine Killing Cavalry, the Guangyuan Army, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion soldiers are stationed separately. As for Jinchuan, they will be handed over to Commander Yan, and Huayangmen will be handed over to Weichen! ”

Most people, including Tangtai Wengu, can only sigh that Shen Qianji is planning to exchange his life for power and wealth? Since it is the main gate of the enemy's attack, the danger factor is the greatest, and it is not handed over to his political enemies, but he takes the initiative to bear it, and this courage has to be admitted even if everyone is unwilling.

Wealth and danger are sought. Since Shen Qianji plans to send himself to death, it is inconvenient for me to stop it. Tantai Wengu thought so, and at the same time he looked at Yan Keran, this person really couldn't figure it out, when did he hook up with Shen Qianji? Is it also so fatal?

Yan Keran got up and said, "Holy Lord, the Great Liang has already experienced a shock, and it is absolutely impossible to suffer another fatal blow in such a short period of time." Although the last general is only a commander, the last general is willing to take on the responsibility of guarding the Beijing division, even if the last general dies in battle, it is also loyal to the country! ”

said it frankly, and even Emperor Liang was unconsciously infected. Could it be that they are the loyal ministers and good generals that Danyan said? Yes, definitely!

Emperor Liang took over Shen Qianji's military general selection arrangement, and immediately nodded in agreement after reading it carefully.

"Holy Lord, Weichen still has three military regulations that need to be explained."

"It doesn't hurt to be straight."

"First, every guard will lead his soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy; secondly, as soon as the army leaves the city, the gates are to be closed immediately, and the enemy cannot open them as long as he does not retreat, and no one can order them; Thirdly, archers were arranged at the head of the city, on the one hand to help the army under the city fight, and on the other hand, to shoot and kill soldiers who dared to retreat. ”

Not to mention those opponents, even Yan Keran didn't expect Shen Qianji to come to such a hand, and there were no these three military regulations when he discussed it with him before. Those generals who are about to go to the battlefield are opposed, isn't this equivalent to fighting to the death? Once out of the city, everyone has no choice but to fight to the death of the enemy.

"The last general is against it!" Yang Zhong had to stand up, "Holy Lord, in this way, all the soldiers have been driven to the brink of life and death, and the battle should be adjusted in time according to the battlefield situation, how can the city gate be closed as soon as possible?" ”

"General Yang, are you scared?" Emperor Liang asked, his question made Yang Zhong's face very embarrassed, this is definitely not a denial

Yes. "The heroic deeds of the old general Yang Jie are still in front of me, I believe that you will not disappoint me and the people of the capital after you become a famous general."

"Holy Lord, the last general ........"

"The last general obeys!" Yan Keran gritted his teeth and shouted: "The last general must lead the Royal Forest Guard to kill the enemy desperately outside the city, and if he can't retreat from the enemy, he will promise the country with his body!" ”

Emperor Liang's eyes lit up, he looked at Shen Qianji and Yan Keran excitedly, and said to all the ministers: "At this moment when the survival of the capital is at stake, I will personally beat the drum for everyone on the lark platform!" ”

A sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Keran's mouth, and at the same time, he had already noticed that Shen Qianji had already led 20,000 elite soldiers towards Jinchuan Gate. This guy has really gone overboard, he's so sure he'll be able to retire smoothly? Of course, now we can only hope that he can retreat from the enemy and come back alive.

Yan Keran turned around and walked towards the city, the autumn wind began to blow on his body, the blood-colored cloak was unfurled, and he took a steady step, but Yan Keran couldn't help but look in one direction. There was a faint sound of drums in that direction, and that direction was the Skylark Terrace, which was the location of the imperial city that Yan Ke was most familiar with.

"Yun Xuan, are you also looking this way on the lark platform now? Do you know I'm about to go to war? If I don't come back alive, will you shed a tear? If I come back alive, you will ......."

Forget it, everything is unknown, let's order the troops first! Yan Keran made a generous statement in the face of 3,000 imperial guards and 10,000 additional troops, raising the meaning of his family and country to a new height, and explaining the responsibilities of the generals more and more thoroughly, and finally told everyone about Shen Qianji's three military regulations. Sure enough, someone started to stir.

"In this battle, there is no life and death, but once we win and come back alive, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth. I'm not going to force you, once you get out of the city, you won't have a chance to regret it. Now I give you a chance, those who are willing to fight will stand still, and those who are greedy for life and afraid of death will take a step back! ”

A few people hesitated, they wanted to retreat but the people around them didn't move, and finally one of them planned to make the first bird to retreat first, but as soon as he took a step back, the tip of the knife immediately hit his waist. The man didn't dare look back, for the tingling sensation at the tip could not have been clearer.

"Excellent! Since you all have the heart to kill the thief, go out of the city with me!" Today, we are brothers in bloody battles, advancing together without retreat, until we defeat foreign enemies! Kill the enemy and serve the country! ”

"Kill the enemy and repay the country!"

"Kill the enemy and repay the country!"

The soldiers shouted as they walked towards the Jinchuan Gate, and they were all afraid in their hearts,

It wasn't until the gates were completely closed behind him that the fear turned to despair. If you want to live, you can only rely on the sword in your hand, and if you want to become famous, you can only fight hard.
