The enemy and us are fighting hard to distinguish between the enemy and us on the city wall in front of them, outside the city wall, Li Siye is riding on a war horse to observe the siege situation, all the siege infantry that can be used behind him are all ready, and each thousand people are a siege echelon, ready to replace the previous team at any time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The time has passed, and Li Siye immediately ordered: "The fifth echelon is ready to replace the fourth echelon and attack!" ”

"Kill-" The soldiers of the fifth echelon of the Tang Army rushed to the city wall in a neat horizontal line under the leadership of a captain, they quickly rushed to the city wall, and the soldiers of the fourth echelon who were still under the city wall began to retreat after being replaced, and the soldiers of the Tang Army who had climbed the city wall were still insisting, and they had to wait for their comrades in the fifth echelon to climb up to replace them before they could evacuate.

The Tang army's siege echelon was replaced every quarter of an hour, and this kind of intensive and maximum force that could be invested quickly made the rebels unbearable, they had adapted to the siege rhythm of the Tang army a few days ago, but at this time the Tang army suddenly changed the siege rhythm and intensity, and the rebels were overwhelmed, the formation was chaotic, and there were loopholes everywhere in the defense line.

It was at this time that Li Siye carried the extremely lethal Mo knife and led the Mo knife team to personally lead the siege of the city, because the Tang soldiers had already climbed the city wall to fight the rebels, Li Siye and his Mo knife team easily climbed the city wall and quickly formed a Mo knife formation lined up to cover a section of the city wall, and began to slowly advance forward.

"Hack!" Li Siye roared, and the Mo knife in his hand was slashed, and the front row of Mo knife hands also slashed, and the rebels in front were suddenly split in half.

"Cut!" With another shout, a flash of knife flashed, and the rebels in front of them were cut in two, and all their intestines and stomachs flowed out.

This kind of crushing attack made the rebels collapse on the spot, "Mom, don't fight, run!" Some of the rebels immediately turned around and ran, and the rebel soldiers in the rear were scattered before they could react.

Li Siye relied on the Mo knife array to run from one end of the city wall to the other, and everywhere he passed, the rebels were either cut to pieces or squeezed off the city wall, and more rebels fled one after another.

The rebels on the city wall will soon be wiped out, and the rebel defender Li Guiren, who is still resisting, is still stubbornly defending, but he is forcibly pulled by his own soldiers to flee into the city.

After the rebels on the city wall were cleared, Li Siye quickly rushed down the city wall with the soldiers, and it didn't take much effort to kill the rebels guarding the city gate, and open the city gate.

On the handsome platform outside the city, Zhao Ziliang saw the city gate open, a smile appeared on his face, and he got up and said to the generals and colonels around him: "Pass the order, the cavalry will stay outside the city, and the other departments will prepare to enter the city!" ”

"No!"

After all, the rebel army is a rebel army, after all, the organizational ability can not be compared with the Tang army, and the military spirit is also extremely unstable, once there is a defeat, the soldiers broke and fled very thoroughly, a large area, the surrender of the formation was soon formed, Li Guiren even only had time to escape from Tongguan with more than 300 people to the east, the soldiers and horses left in Tongguan and the materials for defending the city, as well as weapons, armor, grain and grass, etc., were all captured by the Tang army, Duan Xiushi, Wang Sili and others also quickly took several fortresses in the south to join Li Siye, and Tongguan returned to the Tang army.

On the afternoon of the third day of October, Zhao Zi left the cavalry to be stationed outside the city, and moved to Tongguan City with the Chinese army, and the infantry also entered the city to take over the defense points.

In the afternoon of that day, after Zhao Ziliang had deployed all the defenses, he ordered the whole army to be rewarded, and even the cavalry units that did not participate in the battle were all rewarded.

On the fourth day of October, Zhao Ziliang ordered that, in addition to the soldiers and horses who had the task of arming the city, the troops that had previously participated in the siege entered a period of recuperation, and the other departments practiced as usual. Subsequently, Zhao Ziliang asked his staff to write a memo and sent someone to report the victory to the imperial court.

An Lushan sat on the dragon chair and looked at Li Guiren who fled back in embarrassment, and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted: "I gave you so many soldiers, horses and armaments, so I trusted you, but you lost Tongguan, what is the use of me keeping you?" Come on, drag Li Guiren out and behead him! ”

Outside the hall, several armor soldiers strode in and dragged Li Guiren to leave the hall, when the prime minister Gao Shang hurriedly stood up to stop: "Wait! ”

I saw Gao Shang saluting An Lushan and said: "Your Majesty, General Li can't be killed, the loss of Tongguan is a crime of war, Tongguan's defense in the face of the enemy army coming from the west is not strong, and the Tang Army commander Zhao Ziliang is scheming, and his generals Li Siye and Duan Xiushi and others are all fierce generals in ten thousand, in fact, Your Majesty also knows that the loss of Tongguan is only a matter of time!" Now that I have established the dynasty, it is the time to employ people, and now I kill Li Guiren, Your Majesty will not only lose a general, but also make Tang Jun applaud, in the words of a businessman, this deal cannot be done, and it will be a big loss! Weichen heard that General Wu Lingxun, who was now attacking Nanyang, was seriously ill and could no longer command the troops, so it was better to transfer General Wu Lingxun back to Luoyang and let General Li Guiren go to Nanyang to lead the troops to attack Nanyang defender Lu Jiong with Bi Sichen! ”

When An Lushan heard the noble words, he also felt that his words were very reasonable, so he followed his proposal and said to Li Guiren: "Since Gao Xiang intercedes for you, I will spare you this time, let you make meritorious contributions, and order you to go to Nanyang to replace Wu Lingxun to attack Nanyang's guard Lu Jiong's department!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Prime Minister Gao!" Li Guiren hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Another prime minister solemnly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that Tongguan is in danger of being taken by the Tang army, our army has fallen into passivity, the top priority is to strengthen the line between Shaanxi County and Lingbao, as well as the defense line north of the Yellow River, especially the Lingbao and Anyi areas, Lingbao is long and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Tang army is now occupying Pujin Pass, we should send additional troops to Cui Qianyou to strengthen the garrison of several surrounding cities such as Anyi!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!" For a while, the ministers stood up and echoed.

An Lushan also felt that it was reasonable, so he ordered Neng Yuanhao, who was stationed in Shaanxi County, to strengthen the garrison of Lingbao on the front line, and sent an additional 20,000 soldiers and horses to Cui Qianyou in Anyi.

On the Mobei grassland, a knight galloped all the way to the north, followed closely by three sturdy war horses, which were all horses used for transfer, in order to maintain the speed of the road.

After entering within two hundred miles of Mobei City, the knight found himself being targeted, and after another two hours, dozens of elite cavalry surrounded the knight from all directions.

The knight immediately stopped and raised his hand and shouted: "I have no malice, I was ordered to come to see General Zhang Shouyu, please take me to General Zhang Shouyu!" ”

A leading cavalryman stepped forward to look at the knight for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you from?" What do you want to see General Zhang? ”

The knight said: "You don't need to ask who I am, you just need to hand over this thing to General Zhang Shouyu, and he will know who I am, if you delay or conceal it, the consequences will be very serious!" As he spoke, he took out half of the bronze token and threw it to the cavalry on the other side.

The leading cavalry took half of the bronze medal and looked at it repeatedly, but found nothing special, pondered for a moment and then ordered the other cavalrymen: "Take him, let's go back!" ”

Seeing this, the knights who were hurrying breathed a sigh of relief, and followed these cavalry to rush in the direction of Mobei City.

That night, they rested for the night in a camp where shepherds gathered, were warmly welcomed, and the next morning, they continued on their way, arriving at Mobei City at noon.

Today's Mobei City has been very different from more than ten years ago, the area of Mobei City has now expanded twice due to the fact that although the city wall has not increased in height and thickening, it has been expanded and maintained every year, there has already been a prosperous and lively big market here, here is the largest cargo distribution center in the entire Mobei grassland area, with a resident population of 200,000 and a floating population of 200,000.

The Mobei City Lord's Mansion and Shan Yu's Duhu Mansion are both in the same place, and Shan Yu's Deputy Duhu and Mobei City's advocate Shouyu are dining with his wife and children in the mansion.

At this time, the old butler walked in and reported: "Master, General Xue Song said outside the gate of the mansion that he had an urgent matter to see!" ”

"Let him come in and serve tea in the front hall!" Zhang Shouyu commanded, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to his wife and children: "You eat first, I'll go see General Xue!" ”

Xue Song, the deputy general of the Mobei Army, kept drinking tea with a teacup, and his heart was obviously not calm, he was only in his early twenties when he came to Mobei to join the army, and now more than ten years have passed, and he has passed the age of his establishment, and he has several children.

Hearing the heavy footsteps, Xue Song knew that Zhang Shouyu was coming, and immediately put down the teacup, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Shouyu coming from behind the screen, he quickly stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "General!" ”

"You're welcome, sit down!"

"General Xie!"

Zhang Shouyu asked, "What's the matter with such a hurry?" ”

Xue Song said: "Yesterday afternoon, a patrol found a person two hundred miles south of Mobei City, who claimed to have been ordered to see the general and took out this!" ”

After speaking, Xue Song took out half a bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Zhang Shouyu, and said: "If the last general remembers well, this is the troop transfer token used by General Zhao Ziliang when he was still the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Lord of Mobei City!" ”

Zhang Shouyu took the token and looked at it, his pupils suddenly constricted, his expression instantly became excited, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is this person?" Bring him to me! ”

"It's in the barracks outside the city, and the last general will send someone to bring him!"

It didn't take long for the person to be brought, this person was wearing a cloak, his whole body was wrapped in a cloak, and after seeing Zhang Shouyu, he took off the cloak and hat on his head, revealed his true face, hugged his fists and bowed and saluted: "I've seen General Zhang!" ”

Zhang Shouyu hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Why is there such a half bronze medal? ”

The cloaked man smiled and took out a letter from his bosom and said, "The general doesn't care who I am, as long as the general reads this letter, he will know what is going on!" ”

Zhang Shouyu was about to pick up the letter, and the soldiers next to him hurriedly reminded: "The general can't be, the villain is cheating!" ”

Another soldier immediately stepped forward to take the letter and examine it carefully, but the cloaked man smiled and did not move.

The letter finally arrived in Zhang Shouyu's hand, he opened the envelope and took out the letter and began to look at it, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and after reading it, he closed the letter and looked at everyone with a firm expression: "Pass my order, all the personnel of the Mobei Army are fully armed and immediately assemble on standby!"
