When Li Xuanqing returned to his big tent, it was already unitary time, and the daylight time in the northwest winter was very short, and the sky had already darkened, so Li Xuanqing ordered the disbandment of the team, arranged for the soldiers to rest in the tent, and at the same time arranged for the soldiers in the rear camp to prepare meals, and then anxious Xu Tianxiang and others to enter the account for a meeting.

Li Xuanqing was a little out of breath when he saw Hu Xiaosi finally enter the tent, and asked, "Did the scout team hear any news today?" Originally, Li Xuanqing didn't expect the scout team to make any achievements, after all, the time was too short, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaosi to really bring a big news.

"Report to the brigade commander, his subordinates have found out that Li Keyong, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, and Zhu Quanzhong, the envoy of the Xuanwu Jiedu, have already divided the victory and defeat. Li Keyong defeated more than 30,000 people under Zhu Quanzhong's command at Bajiao Mountain, and the whereabouts of Zhu Quanzhong's generals Zhu Zhen and Ge Cunzhou are unknown. Hu Xiaosi heard Li Xuanqing ask, and he hurriedly stood up and reported.

When this sentence came out, the others didn't react, but Li Xuanqing was stunned, how long did it take for Li Keyong to defeat Zhu Quanzhong? Doesn't history say that every time the two rivals fight, they fight for several months? Did Lick take the wrong medicine? In other words, this Zhu Quanzhong is too useless, so many soldiers, plus such a good general as Ge Cunzhou, how can you hold on for a while, you will be defeated this time, it will be a tragedy if Li Ke uses his brain to take the cavalry to attack again.

Li Xuanqing rubbed his eyebrows, suppressed his disdain for Zhu Quanzhong, and continued to ask, "How did you find out?" Is the message reliable? To be honest, Li Xuanqing still doesn't believe it, you must know that according to the historical records, although Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong lost more and won less, but in fact, Li Keyong didn't take much advantage every time, the most important of which is that the Turkic population is too small, Li Keyong fights back and forth, and Zhu Quanzhong is slowly accumulating strength in one big war after another, but Li Keyong's troops are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, so the initiative on the battlefield is in his hands, he can fight if he wants, and if he doesn't want to fight Zhu Quanzhong, he can only stare dryly.

"It should be reliable, I met several groups of people who fled from Hedong in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, including deserters from the Xuanwu Army, and I caught a few information after individual interrogation." Hu Xiaosi saw Li Xuanqing's face groaning, thinking that he felt that his news was unreliable, so he told his source.

"Little Four, how do you know that he is a deserter from the Xuanwu Army? It is also possible that the defenders of Chang'an City deliberately confuse you, and maybe you have been deceived. Hou Yong couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he saw Hu Xiaosi's chatter.

"You've been deceived! The brigade commander said that Zhu Quanzhong's soldiers were tattooed on their faces, and the deserters I caught had the word 'Liang' written on their faces, and they were still locked up in the back camp. Hu Xiaosi was annoyed when he heard this.

"Okay, whether this matter is true or not, it is far away from us, so leave him alone for the time being. I'll now talk about tomorrow. Li Xuanqing waved his hand to interrupt the argument between the two, no matter what, Li Keyong is now far away from Chang'an, and even if the cavalry is fast from Bajiao Mountain, it will take several days, and he would have already captured Chang'an at that time. Chang'an, and then welcome Emperor Xizong back, it doesn't matter if Li Keyong is overwhelmed by the army. Therefore, Li Xuanqing decisively didn't care about this matter, but told the plan that had been discussed in Zhang Tianhu's tent before.

"Tomorrow, Chen Yu, Chen Fan, Wu Huan, Yang Tiancheng, Li Tianyi, Wang Houchun, Liu Baoliang and Su Yang will follow me to the city for the first time. The rest of the people were unified under the command of Xu Tianxiang. As soon as we go up, Hou Yong will lead the personal guards and the team directly under the Wei Shuai to ascend the city along the passage we opened up as fast as possible, and after climbing the city wall, they will be commanded by Chen Yu and attack and advance in the direction of the inner gate of the urn city in the south. Su Yang and I are responsible for opening the main gate of the west city of Chang'an City at the same time, Tianxiang, you have to lead all the people of the Fourth Brigade and the iron spears sent by the commander to rush into the city gate as quickly as possible after Hou Yong went up for a tea time. Do you understand? Li Xuanqing saw Su Yang walk in at this time and motioned for him to sit down.

Xu Tianxiang saw that after Li Xuanqing finished speaking, he couldn't help but say: "Brigade commander, I think I will lead the charge of the team, you can command." I ......"

Li Xuanqing interrupted him, didn't let him continue, and took over the conversation: "No, your skills are not good, it is impossible to call the city gate in such a short time, I have already discussed this matter with Wei Shuai, no need to say it again." All you have to do is to get the timing right and don't let the whole rhythm get out of touch, and at the same time you have to make sure that all the soldiers must attack in strict accordance with the formation of the arrows, whether they are in a team, a team or a group, when attacking, they must strictly follow the formation of the arrows, the pikemen and the long knife men must cooperate closely, and the archers shoot backwards, so as not to let this group of recruits mess up as soon as they enter the battlefield, and then add casualties. ”

Li Xuanqing stood up and exuded a strong fighting spirit, "Tomorrow this battle is inevitable, I don't care what others think, but my Fourth Brigade must ensure that it goes all out, even if it is death, to take Chang'an City and capture the little emperor alive." ”

"Take Chang'an City and capture the little emperor alive." Everyone in the tent was excited by this sentence, and got up and yelled. In the final analysis, the Fourth Brigade has an advantage in that all the officers and men are young men in their twenties, and once the enthusiasm is aroused, the danger is ignored.

"Everyone go down and prepare, Tianxiang, you go with Su Yang to distribute the weapons and equipment I just ordered to be used to the soldiers under your command, and then order everyone to rest early and strengthen the sentry, there must be no mistake." Li Xuanqing finished the matter, explained a few more words, and asked everyone to go back to prepare.

At this time, the other troops of the Lingwu Army seemed to have received orders, unlike the new recruits who were disorganized and panicked when they were about to fight, although the veterans of the Lingwu Army were demoralized, whether it was preparing for war or resting, everything was so natural and orderly. Li Xuanqing looked at the actions of the veterans for a while, sighed slightly, and walked into the tent to rest, with these veterans here, tomorrow's big battle should not be too bad.

At the third watch of the next day, Li Xuan was neatly dressed early in the morning and walked out with the Hengshuang Sword in his hand. The Fourth Brigade has already begun to assemble on the school grounds. Li Xuanqing nodded, at least yesterday's training has improved the military discipline, and the assembled soldiers were silent after they stood up, although it was cold and cold outside, but these soldiers were still standing firmly on the school ground.

Not long after, the news that the food was ready came from the rear battalion, Li Xuanqing waved his hand, and the Fourth Brigade began to line up to eat. Li Xuanqing nodded while eating while looking at everyone's appearance.

Since there was a war today, the food was much better than before, so Li Xuanqing smiled slightly after eating. Seeing that the rest of the camp had also begun to gather, he didn't say much, and the whole team went out of the camp to meet Zhang Tianhu.

The Third Guard, totaling more than 10,000 men, occupies the middle of the troops participating in the siege today, with other troops surrounding the Third Guard. And the iron spear that Zhang Tianhu said was also opened to Zhang Tianhu's side at this moment, but these people were extremely unsociable, wrapped in black armor, and the spear was raised obliquely, exuding a thick murderous aura, this cold murderous aura made the recruits around him extremely uncomfortable, and even took the initiative to pull away a distance.

After all the troops were assembled, Zhang Tianhu waved his right hand, and the long-lost war drums began to rumble, and the cowhide drum urged the blood of all the soldiers, and the drum shook people's hearts and boosted morale. Li Xuanqing thought for a while, knowing that this drum sound was similar to his previous use of internal force to transmit the sound.

Since the third guard belongs to the second attack echelon, after the assembly is completed, the forward troops in the first attack echelon have already rushed towards Chang'an City with a noisy, and the archers, car crossbows and bed crossbow troops responsible for covering also began to adjust the firing distance, and the thick crossbow arrows roared towards the defending troops on the city with a piercing wind breaking sound. As the siege troops continued to approach, the counterattacks of the defending troops also began to be fierce, and crossbow arrows, masonry, and wood began to be thrown down from the five- or six-zhang high city walls, taking away the lives of each one.

Li Xuanqing couldn't help but sigh secretly as he watched the waves of Lingwu troops go up and retreat, and the corpses began to spread all over the city walls. Sure enough, China's thousands of years of war, the offensive and defensive sides have long interpreted the war perfectly, all kinds of weapons you have to attack and I will have defense, unless there is such a qualitative change of weapons as gunpowder, otherwise the offensive and defensive war consumes human lives, consumes the vitality of the Central Plains.

Seeing the first wave of attacks, it can be regarded as a test of the opponent's strength in defending the city. Zhang Tianhu began to change his ways, and the drumming became more rapid at this time. Li Xuanqing and Xu Tianxiang glanced at him, and then he also took Chen Yu, Su Yang and others to stand at the front of the third guard, silently counting down in his heart, and preparing to set off.

And with Li Xuanqing's movements, Chen Yu and the others all unsheathed their long knives and raised their shields diagonally, making the final preparations.

At this moment, the first wave of attacks finally collapsed, although he had already known the result, Li Xuanqing still heard a helpless sigh. The army has been fighting for a long time and cannot attack the city, so this situation will probably occur, and this kind of impatient atmosphere will appear at the slightest setback.

But this is not the time to think about this, taking advantage of the fact that the first part of the people began to retreat sharply, Li Xuanqing's figure suddenly burst out, like a ghost across the sky, and at the same time, the Hengshuang Sword was also unsheathed at the same time, and the crisp sound of the sword even overshadowed the rumbling drums on the battlefield in an instant.

And when Li Xuanqing's figure was raised, Chen Yu and others also followed out at this moment, although their light skills did not float through the sky like Li Xuanqing, without a trace, but between the fluttering figures, they swept towards Chang'an City like a night eagle, and even in order to catch up, several people did not have time to avoid the retreating defeated soldiers, and stepped directly from the top of these people's heads.

This surprise mutation made the offensive and defensive sides stunned for a moment, except for a few people, everyone didn't know that there would be such a thing on the battlefield, only to see Li Xuanqing in the sky, pure yang true qi whistling through the body, driving the body across the sky, and quickly swept to the city in an instant, only to see Li Xuanqing on the ground slightly, the next moment he had already appeared in the middle of a cloud ladder that was still standing on his own, and the next moment his figure flickered, and he actually reached the city wall without everyone reacting.

And Chen Yu and the others also used Li Xuanqing's body to make everyone not come back to their senses, and their steps moved rapidly, and their bodies were like lightning and flint, running towards the city wall.

But at this moment, the general who was defending the city standing in the middle of the city tower finally reacted, and the long knife was unsheathed and was about to lead people to surround and kill Li Xuanqing, but he saw a flash of brilliance, and his huge head rose to the sky.

Li Xuanqing swung his sword and cut off the general's head, and with a twist, the long sword was like a meteor around him, only to see the soldiers around him being killed in an instant.

However, this time it also stabbed the hornet's nest, and all the enemy soldiers on the city wall reacted at this moment, only to see that in an instant, the soldiers around Li Xuanqing raised their spears and swords and beckoned towards Li Xuanqing, and even the soldiers who were far away from Li Xuanqing also rushed towards this side.

What Li Xuanqing wanted was this kind of chaos, at this time Chen Yu and the others had already climbed the ladder, so they didn't hesitate, the Hengshuang Sword was like a soul-inducing impermanent ghost, every swing brought boundless blood rain, and everywhere it went, the severed limbs and wreckage, whether it was the body or the weapon, were broken with one blow.

However, Chang'an City is worthy of being the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the city wall is not only towering, but also extremely wide, Li Xuanqing was instantly surrounded by more than a dozen people. There was even room on both sides of the city wall, and at a cursory glance, there were almost five or six carriages running in parallel.

Li Xuanqing's floating light and shadow figure method was used, his body was erratic, and there was no enemy in every place where the long sword went, and the soldiers around him fell to the ground one after another, and the blood sprayed out quickly dyed Li Xuanqing into a bloody man.

"Third child, we're coming up." Almost at the same time that Li Xuanqing started killing, Chen Yu laughed, jumped onto the city wall, waved the Tang knife, and a head was cut off and fell directly outside the city. And with his voice, the others also appeared on the city wall in an instant, only to hear the sound of "poof" endlessly, and almost all of these guys chose to cut off their heads so violently.

"Chen Yu is handed over to you, Su Yang will come with me." After Li Xuanqing saw Chen Yu and the others coming up, a long roar penetrated the sky, and the strong internal force sent the sound far away, even though it was separated from the noisy battlefield, but the majestic voice still spread outside the city. He Su Yang's body flickered, relying on his outstanding body skills, forcibly walked through the crowd, and headed towards the urn city in the city.

At this time, there was a mess on the city wall, and after the general defending the city was killed by Li Xuanqing, the others suddenly had no backbone, and after the deputy general finally organized an effective response, he rushed up a few killing gods, and the one in front was not inferior at all. I didn't know what to do for a moment, so after the lieutenant general led people to surround and kill in advance, the herald began to rush towards the camp in the city.

At this time, Xu Tianxiang, who was guarding outside the city, raised his long knife forward after hearing Li Xuanqing's whistle, and roared angrily in his mouth: "The pro-guard team charges." As soon as the words fell, Hou Yong rushed forward with a deep roar like a tiger out of the mountain, and the personal guards and direct teams also followed closely.

"Knock knock" Zhang Tianhu personally took over the drummer, the drum sound resounded in the sky at this moment, this kind of drum beat faster than the heartbeat suppressed all the distractions in the hearts of the soldiers in front, and called on the soldiers to move forward bravely. And with the sound of drums, everyone in the second echelon made all their preparations, waiting for changes in the battlefield and waiting for the order to send troops.
