"Xue Yang, you don't plan to rush forward so directly without putting on a formation?" Hu Xiaosi was dumbfounded when he saw that Xue Yang didn't have any formation, and he directly planned to use two battalions to shake the opponent's nearly 100,000 army.

"Don't worry, the combat power of the first battalion and the third battalion can definitely be one as ten, and when the time comes, let the first battalion resist the frontal impact, and I will lead the third battalion to act as a light cavalry to break into the army and take Wang Yan down, don't worry." Xue Yang gave Hu Xiaosi a reassuring look.

Hu Xiaosi felt that his thinking was already rough enough, but he didn't expect to meet a more daring one, and he immediately stopped talking.

"Boss, when the time comes, you will help me press the command platform of the Chinese army, and end the battle in two hours." Seeing that his team was almost ready, Xue Yang began to let the war drum corps change the drums, and he also left the command platform and came to the front of the big array, pulled out the bright silver Tang knife given by Wang Houchun, and roared angrily: "Brothers, this is our last battle to recover Dongchuan, let us show the greatest courage to give the lord a New Year's gift." God bless the Tang Dynasty, and the Han army is mighty. ”

The 20,000 Tiance Army Mountain shouted like a tsunami, making the drums behind him more passionate and louder, urging the soldiers to move forward bravely. Xue Yang raised his long knife forward and led the army to assault forward, and the team of men and horses instantly swarmed up.

"The ballista brigade will fire immediately, whether it is an explosive pack or a crossbow arrow, I will shoot three rounds first." Xue Yang just moved the crossbow arrows of the support troops commanded by Hu Xiaosi to fly out, and the piercing metal whistling sound accompanied the crossbow arrows flew out, knocking over the tower shield erected on Wang Yan's front line to the ground, and then the second round of crossbow arrows was fired again, and all the ballistas were replaced with explosive packs and quickly launched, and more than 30 explosive packs rose into the air for a while, and went towards Wang Yan's large array from afar.

At this time, although the tower shield of Wang Yanjun's front army was destroyed, but the other formations were basically intact, seeing Xue Yang's troops rushing up, the archers began to step forward and bend their bows and arrows, the pikemen were also ready with guns, and the follow-up sword and shield men were also ready. Although Wang Yan's military ability is limited, this platoon of troops is basically clear and meticulous.

"All shields march." During the running, Xue Yang's voice sounded from the front line, and the Bagua Shield was carried above the head by the soldiers of the third battalion, and at the same time, the footsteps under him became faster again, it can be said that the third battalion at this moment can even be comparable to the cavalry charge, which is also where Xue Yang's capital lies in this battle, and it is also the reason why he ranks the third battalion in front of the first battalion. Compared to the all-round type of the first battalion, the third battalion is faster and more suitable for charging at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom" violent explosion sounded on the battlefield, thick pillars of smoke covered the sky, completely disrupting Wang Yanjun's forward, the archers just shot the first round of arrow rain was blown to pieces by explosives, the frontal corps because it was a firepower concentration point, it was even more messy, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the third battalion quickly crossed the obstacle in front of it, and Wang Yanjun collided head-on.

Hu Xiaosi saw that the two armies had been in close combat, and began to let the ballista brigade begin to suppress the forces pressed by the two wings, and mobilized some ballistae to snipe at fixed points to assist the forward troops to complete the task.

However, Xue Yang did not stop after rushing into the opponent's battle formation, but almost stared at the opponent's impact all the way forward, and directly launched a counter-charge in the first wave. Moreover, after the first battalion arrived at the battlefield, he ignored his own rear and took the third battalion and began to go towards the opponent's Chinese army, throwing all the tasks of the front army to the first battalion. The result of this was that the entire battlefield was messed up by him, and the outflanking troops on both wings of Wang Yan's army were able to rush over and besiege the first battalion after being blown apart by explosives. At this time, the third battalion was like a loach in the water, and it was impossible to catch his traces, and in the face of the speed that had been trained for many years, the speed of these short-distance charges of these humanoid cavalry was not at all something that Wang Yanjun could compete. Soon Xue Yang was already close to the last line of defense of the Chinese army, that is, the troops directly under the Chinese army. Usually, in the course of the campaign, the troops directly under the Chinese army are equivalent to the reserve of the campaign, ready to support the front line at any time, but at this time they act as Wang Yan's escort.

Xue Yang didn't bother to pay attention to this direct subordinate army, and plunged directly into it. This time the chaos of the Chinese army made the formation of the entire Wang Yanjun also reversed, and the entire army began to run around the Chinese army in an orderly manner, and many of the generals in front began to find ways to withdraw troops to support the Chinese army, but more of them were still bombed by one explosion after another and began to run aimlessly on the battlefield, which further aggravated the chaotic situation.

In fact, if it were Xue Yang to command this battle, he would definitely not be so passive as Wang Yan, speaking of which, the on-the-spot command of the battlefield is the embodiment of a real test of a general's command art. After the Chinese army was attacked, Wang Yan himself was completely panicked, and only cared about commanding the troops directly under him to encircle and suppress Xue Yang, but neglected the command of his entire army array.

At this time, Xue Yang didn't take these into account, he only had one thought, that is, to take Wang Yan and then force him to surrender, only in this way could he turn the entire battle situation in one fell swoop and win the opportunity and bargaining chips for the next negotiations, so after the third battalion was intercepted by the direct troops, he directly led his own personal guards to continue to charge forward, and the most elite troops of the third battalion rushed directly from the army to Wang Yan under the personal leadership of the main general.

Xue Yang saw Wang Yan's figure moving slightly, and the war horse under his feet also turned his head, as if he was about to leave the command platform, and immediately ignored it anymore, and shouted: "The king thief is leaving." Like a harrier, he rose to the sky, stepped on the heads of seven or eight people in a row, jumped directly onto the command platform, and waved the Tang knife in his hand to sweep several generals around Wang Yan off the horse. followed by a pause, appeared on Wang Yan's horseback, grabbed Wang Yan's armor with his left hand and lifted him horizontally, and the strong voice also spread in all directions, "Wang Yan has been captured, and those who descend will not be killed." ”

Xue Yang's actions were seen by Hu Xiaosi in the rear, and he immediately laughed happily: "Change the drum beat immediately and tell the soldiers that those who surrender will not be killed." ”

The rapid drum beat and Xue Yang's roar made the entire Wang Yanjun collapse, the capture of the commander meant the complete fall of an army, the directly subordinate troops near the Chinese army began to slowly lay down their weapons under Xue Yang's strong coercion, and some of the people who were unwilling to surrender and resisted were slaughtered on the spot by the soldiers of the third battalion, and the bloody human heads made these Wang Yanjun soldiers who put down their weapons chill.

And Wang Yan, who was captured by Xue Yang, also reacted, and stopped his soldiers from continuing to resist and asked to negotiate with Xue Yang.

"Lord Wang, this is not the place to negotiate, let your men surrender immediately, and then I will give your lord a chance to negotiate." Xue Yang sneered.

Wang Yan nodded, and after being put down by Xue Yang, he immediately asked his personal guards to send separate orders to start gathering the front-line army and laying down their weapons.

The headquarters of the first battalion was also sent by Xue Yang to monitor to prevent accidents, and the ballista troops did not dare to delay, and dozens of explosives were directly placed on top of the ballista in front of Wang Yanjun, just waiting for an order. There is no way that there are too many people on the other side, and there are still more than 60,000 people who did not die after the count, which is more than twice as many as Xue Yang's troops, so they can't help but take it seriously.

The 3rd Battalion also joined the surveillance after hastily clearing the battlefield. However, all the Wang Yanjun soldiers did not look at these soldiers of the Tiance Army who were watching them around, but Wang Yan who was negotiating with Hu Xiaosi on the spot.

To be honest, Wang Jian's army is the last essence of the Shence Army, and those who can compete with the Tiance Army without collapsing the whole army, only Wang Jian's army can generally do it among the various branches of the Shence Army, and others such as Yang Shouliang are not worth mentioning, and Li Maozhen's troops can only meet the requirements of those troops directly under the generals who can fight habitually.

"Lord Wang, this general didn't come to negotiate with you today, to be honest, although you Wang Yan is the younger brother of Wang Jianjie's envoy, it is not enough for me to let Tiance Army take the initiative to negotiate with you." Hu Xiaosi didn't bother to scare him anymore when he saw Wang Yan's polite appearance.

"Your Excellency wants to talk to my brother and let him lead the army to surrender?" When Wang Yan heard this, he immediately understood what Hu Xiaosi meant, and instantly understood why he actually encountered the attack of the other party from the south to the north in the north, and sighed: "You guys are really a good means, cut off all the support lines in Tongzhou, and let my brother fall into a helpless situation." But compared to you, you also know that my brother is arrogant and has a strong personality, so I'm afraid he may not be able to move. ”

Hu Xiaosi smiled slightly, Wang Jian's personality is similar to being arrogant, but it may not be strong. So he ignored Wang Yan and continued: "Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, there has been a hundred years of civil strife. The national strength is declining, and there is not one out of ten people. Since the establishment of the army in the northwest by General Tiance, our Tiance Army has always taken it as its mission to unify the world and rebuild the Tang Dynasty. My lord said that the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. It's time for reunification. This time, we were ordered to come to persuade you to surrender, but also because of your two brothers' outstanding achievements in Dongchuan and indeed brought benefits to the people, so we will open up and persuade them to join the great cause of the Tiance Army and work together to do their best for the people of the world. ”

"Lord Wang, as the younger brother of the Jiedu envoy, should naturally consider his future and the future of your Wang family, instead of stubbornly resisting, hitting stones with eggs, and in the end, the clan will be wiped out, and will be swept away by the general trend of history." Hu Xiaosi's words with a faint tone suddenly hit the key point in Wang Yan's heart, making him silent for a long time.

"I have one condition, if the general agrees, I will do my best to persuade my brother to surrender, and promise that no matter what my brother decides, I will serve the Tiance army and be loyal to the general of Tiance."

"What conditions do you say?" Hu Xiaosi was interested and nodded.

"Please treat our army's soldiers and families well, Wang Yan is here to thank you." Wang Yan stood up and bowed deeply.

Xue Yang and Hu Xiaosi glanced at each other and nodded, "Lord Wang, please rest assured, my Tiance Army will treat everyone equally and will not bully any innocent people." ”

"In that case, you will follow me to Bizhou City to hand over the city defense, and then I will go to Tongzhou with you." Wang Yan was very happy and said directly.

When Xue Yang heard this, he took people and Wang Yan to join the directly subordinate battalion that was ambushed in the north of Bizhou City, and then entered the city to handle the handover, temporarily guarding Bizhou with the first battalion, and he took the third battalion and the directly subordinate battalion to follow Wang Yan south. And Wang Yan found that the other party actually had the ability to ambush an elite army while fighting with him, and was ready to take Bizhou at any time, and he was also concerned about his defeat.

Hu Xiaosi rushed to Tongzhou one step ahead of time to meet with Qian Ning, and then activated the secret guard to sneak into the surrounded and solid Tongzhou City, and Xue Yang and Wang Yan also released messengers after arriving, and knocked on the city gate with Wang Yan and entered the city. At this point, the Hanzhong Group Army has basically recovered the entire Dongchuan, quietly waiting for Hu Xiaosi and Wang Yan's actions.

It has been the most idle few days since the formation of the Hanzhong Group Army in the camp outside Tongzhou, Xue Yang and Qian Ning have nothing to do and began to think about the gifts prepared for Hu Xiaosi's wedding during the New Year, but both of them are big singles, this kind of thing is really embarrassing for the two of them, so they can only secretly write a letter and send it to Hexi, wanting to ask Wan Yi to help prepare, which is also a strange thing.

And Hu Xiaosi entered the city and checked the information gathered by the secret guards in the early stage, and was thinking about how to talk to Wang Jian, and Wang Yan had already entered the city. Hu Xiaosi simply followed in and secretly began to contact Wang Jian.

At this moment, Tongzhou was besieged heavily, the surrounding states and counties were almost uprooted, and other distant ones were also spread by the Tiance army, and Wang Jian really reached the end of the road. At this moment, I suddenly heard that Wang Yan returned to Tongzhou alone, and roughly guessed what was going on.

After the two brothers discussed in the secret room for a long time, Wang Jian and Hu Xiaosi, who accompanied him, had a secret conversation again. The result of the discussion between the two was not Wang Jian's own problem, but Wang Jian's request that the Tiance Mansion not carry out reforms similar to those in other places in Dongchuan. This made Hu Xiaosi categorically refuse, and directly stated that this is the basic national policy of the Tiance Army, and it will not be changed because of any forces and obstacles. However, considering that the wealthy clans on the Dongchuan side should have been frightened by Li Jipeng's bloody suppression in Chengdu Mansion before, Hu Xiaosi said that Dongchuan's reform actions can be considered to be carried out by moderate means, but all land must be redistributed, so that the people at the bottom have their fields and their houses for the residents, which cannot be changed.

Wang Jian originally thought that he had put life and death aside, and it should not be difficult to fight for a little benefit for these wealthy families attached to him, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the other party, and suddenly felt that this negotiation could not go on. Wang Yan on the side hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "My brother and I understand your army's concern for the people very well, but the Dongchuan roads are clogged and mostly mountainous, the land is poor and the people are weak, and the arable land itself is not much, so I hope your army will think about it more." ”

"In fact, the two of them didn't think about it right, and even the whole world except for the people in the jurisdiction of our Tiance Mansion couldn't see this, and the means of accumulating wealth was never by farming. The distribution of land is only to enable the people to have no worries about food and clothing, and to free the industrial and commercial development that has lasted for thousands of years. Everyone, please look at the area ruled by the Tiance Mansion, after the land redistribution, will those big landlords have no room to survive? No, now the growth rate of the business wealth in the Guanzhong area is several times that of the previous one, deducting other factors because they have shifted all their energy to industry and commerce themselves, and the laws and policies formulated by our Tiance Mansion are all in all aspects to ensure their interests, so in fact, these policies are conducive to their development and growth. Hu Xiaosi couldn't explain the truth of economic operation for a while, so after explaining a general situation, he continued: "If the two of you are included in Tiance Mansion in the future, you might as well have more contact with the Department of Industry and Commerce." Now the director of the hall is Murong Hanhai, and their family itself is a wealthy businessman. ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "The Murong family is famous, and there are five wealthy businessmen in the world." There is a chance to visit from now on. ”

"Don't stick to the old rules and bad habits of the past, the policies promulgated by the Tiance Army are unprecedented, what my lord wants to do is not to be prosperous for a moment, but to be determined to lay the cornerstone of eternity and make the land of China immortal for thousands of years."

Wang Yan glanced at his brother Wang Jian, and when he saw that the other party was also looking at him at the same moment, he immediately nodded.
