"Where's the reinforcements?" Wei Chisheng was skeptical.

"Jiannan." Li Sheng said loudly: "Military envoy, as far as I know, 10,000 elite soldiers under the command of Cui Yuan, deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, are stationed in Xiangji Temple in the southern suburbs, and I hope that the military envoy will go in person to persuade Deputy Envoy Cui to focus on the overall situation and send troops to help. ”

"Isn't Su Yejun going to retreat?" Wei Chisheng sneered again and again.

"Good!" Wang Fei was overjoyed: "Your Royal Highness Wei Chi, General X and Li Bei will take two hundred soldiers to meet Deputy Envoy Cui, and the rest of the Suye army will be led by Sima Luqi on the march and act according to His Highness's orders." ”

"You're welcome!" Wei Chisheng saw that Wang Fei had put all the cavalry battalions of the Suye Army on the line, and finally believed in his sincerity.

The stars are like clouds, and the arrows are falling for the first place.

When Su Ye's heavy cavalry and Khotanese light cavalry rushed to Lantian County like a turbulent wave, Wang Fei and Li Sheng had already ridden their horses to the west. The journey went very smoothly, but he didn't expect that Li Renzhi, who was lucky enough to escape from Huazhou under the desperate protection of Li Zhuang, was also in Xiangji Temple.

The clouds are dark, the stars and the moon are dark, and the willows are shaking.

"Listen to the meaning of Fei Langjun, the rebels are storming Lantian, and the chaos in Chang'an City is all done by the prince's party." Cui Yuan pondered: "Then Fei Langjun came at night, why did he come here?" ”

"On the order of the high privy, please ask Deputy Envoy Cui to send troops to Lantian City to encircle and annihilate the rebels!"

"The saint is in danger, wouldn't it be safer to go to King Qin in Daming Palace?"

"Entering Beijing without an edict will be a big deal in the future."

"For a minister, but to seek a piece of loyalty to the sun and the moon, how can you spare your life." Cui Yuan said righteously.

"Vice Envoy Cui Geng Geng is loyal, respectable and lamentable, but in case the East Palace succeeds to the throne, I don't know if the crown prince will praise Your Excellency for your actions as King Qin." Wang Fei sneered: "Everyone wants to get from the dragon's skill, but the greater the reward, the higher the risk. And no matter who kills the deer in Chang'an City, the credit for cutting off the rebels who invaded Gyeonggi cannot be erased......"

"This ......" Cui Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "A certain is the right minister who pulled it up with one hand, and if he sees death, it will hinder my reputation if he doesn't save him......"

"Didn't Deputy Envoy Cui discover that the fireworks in the sky over Chang'an City were ignited from the area of Xuanyangfang?"

"Cui Jieshuai, don't fall for this thief, there is something important to tell you." Li Renzhi saw that Cui Yuan and Wang Fei had a long conversation, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Please come here." Cui Yuan beckoned, and the Jiannanya soldiers let Li Renzhi approach.

"Cui Jieshuai......" Li Renzhi pretended to be close to Cui Yuan's ear, leaned over and pulled out a short dagger from his boots, and stabbed Wang Fei in the chest with his backhand.

"I can't help myself!" Wang Fei turned sideways, dodged the cold and shining blade, and snatched Li Renzhi's dagger with a smooth Tai Chi Yun hand, and then wiped it, leaving a shallow blood mark on his neck.

"Li Renzhi, compared with Li Xiang, you are no less than the difference between the heavens and the abyss......" Wang Fei only wanted to teach Li Renzhi a lesson, but before he finished speaking, he had already died of his breath.

"Poison on the dagger!" Li Sheng, who came in a hurry, explained the reason.

"Heaven is evil, it is still violated; and thou shalt not live. Wang Fei threw the dagger to the ground.

The captives rode around Lantian and surrounded the lonely city.

When Wang Fei persuaded Cui Yuan to send troops, a fierce battle was raging outside Lantian City. Because Lantian Pass was only more than ten miles away from the county seat, the rebels took a short rest, and Tian Qianzhen had already transported dozens of counterweight stone cannons.

With siege weapons in hand, Cui Qianyou regrouped and encouraged the rebels to launch an increasingly ferocious offensive. The rain-dense stones smashed on the slightly thin city wall of Lantian City, and dozens of gaps were bitten out in a moment's effort, and many defenders who could not retreat were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood by the stones, and merged with the broken city wall. The East Gate Tower, which suffered the most attacks, collapsed and fell into ruins.

"Disperse into the inner square to hide!" The hoarse voice of Wei Boyu and the panicked Shi Chaoyi were beckoning Anxi and Pinglu Yabing to retreat, and a boulder fell from the sky to attack them.

After walking outside the Ghost Gate, Wei Boyu, who is a martial artist, is inevitably a little afraid. Suddenly, he felt as if he had forgotten something, but the terrible situation of the battle made him have no time to think about it.

"There will be no more festivals in the future!" Shi Chaoyi lay on the sticky ground panting heavily, exhausted by a series of encounters on the third day of the third month of the third month of the 14th year of Tianbao (755).

"I knew that it was so sinister, I shouldn't have come to Lantian with Su Yejun......" When he was pulled up by Wei Boyu, Shi Chaoyi was full of chagrin: "But if you don't follow Wang Feibo to do some military exploits, where can you go?" King Sheng is dead, the court is in chaos, where should I go......"

The sword shines on the waning moon, and the remnant flag blows the night wind.

"Lusima, when will the Chariot Regiment and Engineer Battalion of the Suye Army arrive?" Feng Changqing, who assisted Gao Xianzhi in commanding the soldiers and horses through the handsome banner on the watchtower, was full of anxiety: "There is no decent city defense equipment in the arsenal of Lantian County, if there is no stone cannon and bed crossbow to help you, there are thousands of cavalry and you can't avoid the fall of the city!" ”

"Feng Jieshuai, although our army's chariots are extremely exquisite, but the night mountain road is not as fast as a light horse after all." Lu Qi spread his hands and said: "Why don't you send Khotan light cavalry out of the city to rush out of the city to fight for some time." ”

"How many people can do it against the stone cannon?" Feng Changqing's face was angry: "You don't know that the Fan Yang army is relying on cavalry to run rampant in the world, and sending Khotanese cavalry to fight is just to die in vain." ”

"Don't quarrel with each other!" Gao Xianzhi, who stood on the rocks of the mountain, was not angry and arrogant: "Spread my military order, send additional people to build a low wall in the city, and prepare to meet the enemy's short soldiers." Remember to leave a passage for the cavalry to counterattack, and you don't want to be beaten blindly as a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

"No!" Feng Changqing turned around and ordered the soldiers of Anxi to go downstairs to give the order, and said in a low voice: "The rebel army is hoarded in the east and north, if the Jiannan army comes, it will definitely appear in the west of the city. ”

The Anxi soldiers in charge of the order were descending the ladder, and suddenly heard the sound of cars and horses. He followed the sound and saw a convoy out of sight pouring out of the official road in the north of the city. Nearly 100 chariots formed a long snake formation, and under the wings of the horsemen, they galloped towards the north gate.

The rebels besieging Lam Tin had already been alarmed, and they turned their horses around and raided the convoy from Sam Bread to the convoy. Without waiting for the rebels to approach, the front wheel of the chariot that was at the forefront turned and ran in an arc to the northeast. The carriage changed direction, and the serpent swirled and turned into a dragon connected from end to end.

The dragon's body sprayed a dense barrage of crossbow arrows, reaping the lives of the rebels. The soldiers of the escort convoy retreated into the circle in an orderly manner, slowly approaching the north gate of Lantian City.

"Captain Lei and Captain Liu have arrived!" Lu Qi stroked his palms and laughed: "There is no need to break the enemy." ”

"Good!" Gao Xianzhi clapped the column and ordered: "Please ask the Suye cavalry and the Khotanese light cavalry to go out of the city to respond!" ”

"Using a chariot to cast a car suspension formation, Wang Fei'er really has a lot of ghost ideas." The skillful change of formation of the Suye chariot made Tian Qianzhen amazed: "However, I have already prepared!" ”

Tian Qianzhen raised his horizontal knife and shook it, and the ten counterweight stone cannons that had been hidden behind the river and had not moved for a long time let out a sky-high roar to the north. After the huge stones rained down on the rebels besieging the chariot formation, they smashed over the two Suye chariots, and the perfect formation suddenly revealed a gap.

"Attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son!" Tian Qianzhen looked up to the sky and laughed.

The rebel light cavalry was about to rush up, and a team of strange swordsmen came out of the gap in the car formation, and they ran wildly, and before the second wave of stones landed, they rushed into the cavalry queue that had not yet increased their speed with arrows and long lances, and danced their knives like a circle, and used their flesh and blood to resist Fan Yang's light cavalry, buying time for the gap in the car formation to close.

"Damn." Tian Qianzhen hesitated slightly, and before he could make up his mind whether to let the stone cannon annihilate Su Ye Mo's swordsmen and Fan Yang's light cavalry, several stone bullets flying out of Su Ye's army chariot formation roared. If it weren't for the swiftness of the guards who dragged Luohe, and grabbed Tian Qianzhen's war horse and ran, he would probably have died here.

"It's troublesome, the stone cannon was originally used by the Beiting Army, and the Su Ye Army's stone cannon is fast and far, and our army can't take advantage of it at all, how can this be good?" Tian Qianzhen, who fled to the range of the stone cannon, missed Tian Chenghei who was far away in Hebei Province at the moment, and he wanted to imitate the shield car to destroy the enemy during the Battle of Heyang, but he couldn't care about cutting down trees and building a shield car in a hurry.

"Ah Hao, when facing the enemy, making a judgment of life and death, the most taboo is to hesitate." Cui Qianyou came to Tian Qianzhen's side: "I once heard Secretary Gao Zhang's words: Two rats fight in the hole, and the brave wins." Those who are not afraid of the dead may not live, but those who are afraid of the dead will die. I see that the Anxi army is already tired, and the Suye army is not much, so why should our army be afraid? ”

"What Cui Bingma said is very true! Sons, kill the enemy with so-and-so! Tian Qianzhen didn't care whether the stone cannon could suppress the other party, he shouted loudly and rode in the lead, personally killing the Suye chariot formation that was being gathered.

Flames and crossbows slashed their heads and faces, and if the wind blew through the wheat fields, it would instantly blow dozens of people off their horses. The brute strength and bloodiness of the river were stimulated by the bravery of the main general, and under the cover of stone cannons and arrows, they jumped over the violently burning flames, repelled the Su Ye Mo swordsmen who had killed hundreds of Fan Yang's light horses, and then repeatedly attacked the Su Ye army array in an evacuation formation. When the war horse falls to the ground with an arrow, it fights on foot with a lance, and the crossbow arrows are hung in the gaps of the armor leaves, but it still moves forward fiercely.

The Trailing River attracted most of the crossbows, fire, and stone bullets in the Suye car formation, buying enough time for the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers to line up. Cui Qianyou personally led 1,000 Fan Yang heavy cavalry and thousands of light cavalry to hedge with Su Ye and Khotanese cavalry outside the north gate of Lantian City, making it impossible to meet the chariot formation.

Outside the city, Huang Eyang, the battlefield is blue and bloody. The fierce battle is red, and the atmosphere is yellow with stars and moons.

"Quickly put away the Tingzhou cannon and the pivot of the counterweight trebuchet, and the medical battalion will all get on the car." Liu Xiao saw that the situation was not good, so he had to use a killer move: "Change the wedge-shaped formation, use the ironclad chariot as the arrow, kill!" ”

"The regiments of the infantry battalion are on their horses and marching together with the chariots." Lei Wanchun understood.
