Volume 1 Heavenly Pole Eight Pillars Chapter 157 The Black Tide is surging
"Chao was ordered by Ma Sui to come to the rescue of Mr. Bu!" Chao Yongzhi said.
"As far as I know, Master Ma is trapped in An Lushan's camp, life and death are unpredictable, I'm afraid it's ......" Bu Yunfei didn't say anything.
For this Ma Sui, Bu Yunfei is a love-hate relationship!
Forcing Qin Xiaoxiao to return to Changshan must have been Ma Sui's idea, Yan Gaoqing is loyal, even if he has this idea, he can't say it. Only Ma Sui, who has identified things, must do it, in Ma Sui's view, justice can be unscrupulous, even if it is a reversal and sacrifice the weak!
However, Ma Sui could completely let Chang Shanjian send Qin Xiaoxiao to the An Lushan camp, stay out of the matter by himself, and even, pass through Jingcheng Pass, and leave!
However, Ma Sui chose to enter the An Lushan camp with Qin Xiaoxiao!
He's sending himself to a dead end!
An Lushan hates horses to the bone!
In this way, Ma Sui is not a ruthless and unrighteous person!
"Last night, Lord Ma escorted Princess Yinyao in a car, and before entering the An Lushan camp, he ordered the general to lead his troops to lay in an ambush ten miles southeast of An Lushan's camp, waiting for answers."
"Answer?"
"Master Ma knows that An Lushan will definitely not spare him, once he enters the camp, he will inevitably encounter accidents! However, he will let Yan Quanying take Chang Shan Jian and try to find the place where Li Riyue, the king of Tongluo, is imprisoned and rescue Li Riyue. Li Riyue is the king of Tongluo, the Tongluo cavalry under An Lushan, many of them are Li Riyue's old troops, as long as Li Riyue is out of the cage, he can contact the old department, rescue Princess Yinyao, and kill An Lushan's camp! Master Ma said that as long as Princess Yinyao is rescued, he will be able to start Mr. Start! ”
Ma Sui's intelligence is extraordinary! In such a short time, you can think of such a wonderful plan!
Princess Yinyao Qin Xiaoxiao is the princess of the Tang Dynasty who was promised to Li Riyue, An Lushan snatched people's wives, slaughtered Tongluo women and children, imprisoned Tongluo Wang, Li Riyue and An Lushan have a common hatred!
Once Yan Quanying releases Li Riyue, he will definitely go to the soup and rescue Qin Xiaoxiao!
"On the fourth watch, Li Riyue really led a hundred Tongluo cavalry to kill the camp of An Lushan, he not only rescued Princess Yinyao, but also snatched Master Ma out. The end will be as planned, and Ma Daren converged, not long after, met a group of people who escaped from Changshan, a inquiry, only to know, Mr. Bu and his party out of Changshan, to the west to Jingcheng Pass. Master Ma didn't even say that it was good, Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye had ill intentions, but he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to Mr. Bu! Master Ma immediately ordered the last general to chase after Mr. Bu. The last general hurried, fortunately it came in time! ”
Bu Yunfei looked up to the sky and sighed!
Ma Sui is really a genius in the world!
He not only calculated Li Riyue, but also Wang Chengye!
"General Chao is hard!" Bu Yunfei said: "In that case, where is Lord Ma now?" ”
"Changshan Mountain, Cangyan Mountain!"
"Cangyan Mountain?" Bu Yunfei asked: "General Chao said just now that you met ten miles southeast of Changshan Mountain, why did you go to Cangyan Mountain in the northwest again?" ”
Chao Yongzhi said: "Master Ma said, south of Changshan, is the road to the south of An Lushan's army, west of Changshan, is the Jingcheng Pass where the Taiyuan army is stationed, north of Changshan is the Taihang Mountains, there is no way to go, and east of Changshan, is Hebei, which is the territory of An Lushan. The four directions of east, west, north and south are all dead ends, only in the southeast, there is a road that leads to Jianghuai, which is the only way to live! ”
"It turns out that there is still a road in the southeast! That's it! Fang Ruoxu said.
Just now, the brothers were worried, they only knew that there were roads in the west, south, and east, and these three directions were dead ends.
"In that case, why did Ma Sui turn back to Cangyan Mountain in the northwest?" Bu Yunfei asked.
Chao Yongzhi said: "Master Ma said, An Lushan will definitely think that if we escape from the camp with Princess Yinyao, we will definitely take that road, and we will definitely send fast horses to chase after us!" That road was criss-crossed, muddy and difficult to walk, and if you couldn't go far, you would be caught up by Fan Yangbing. Therefore, after Ma Daren and Li Riyue rushed out of the camp, they first galloped to the southeast, creating the illusion that we were going to flee from there, and then turned around and went to Cangyan Mountain. The Cangyan Mountain is thirty miles north of Jingcheng Pass, and behind it is the Taihang Mountain, the mountain is high and densely forested, you can take refuge for a while, and then try to leave after the An Lushan army goes south. ”
"Yes, yes, Cangyan Mountain!" Bu Yunfei muttered: "The rebels would not have thought that not only did we not flee far away, but we hid under their noses!" ”
Ma Sui and Bu Yunfei can be described as heroes!
Bu Yunfei also thought of Tumen north of Changshan, which was not far from Cangyan Mountain.
The intention of the two is the same - to temporarily hide at the foot of Taihang Mountain north of Changshan, avoid the edge of An Lushan's army, and then look for opportunities!
It's just that Bu Yunfei didn't understand the geographical environment around Tumen, and this thought once flashed in his mind, but he didn't dare to be sure.
"In that case, the whole army set off and headed for Cangyan Mountain to join Master Ma!" Bu Yunfei said.
"Yes!" Chao Yongzhi arched his hand and said.
……
On the eastern horizon, the morning light is shining.
Outside Changshan City, wolf smoke is everywhere.
The faint morning light was divided by wisps of wolf smoke, and the earth was dark after night.
Under the wolf smoke, the war drums are like thunder, the flags are like clouds, the swords and guns are flashing, and the armor is shining to the sky.
To the sound of rumbling war drums, ten infantry phalanxes surged from the eastern horizon towards the Changshan city wall.
In each phalanx, hundreds of strong men pushed huge rushing carts, and the huge wheels crushed the snow and ice, leaving deep ruts in the field, as if they had cut wounds in the earth.
After rushing the car, there are dozens of ladder cars, each ladder car is also equipped with a giant wheel, carrying two long and two zhang ladders, and there are rotating shafts connected between the two ladders, which can form a four-zhang high ladder. The ladder cart and the cart were covered with cowhide, and the attacker concealed inside the cowhide to resist firearms and bows and arrows, and could directly push the ladder and cart under the city wall and throw them into the attack.
Behind the phalanx of infantry, there were thirty watchtowers eight feet high. The watchtowers are taller than the Tsuneyama Castle Tower, and each watchtower has dozens of archers on each tower who can condescend and fire bows and crossbows at the defenders on the city walls.
Behind the watchtower, there is the world-famous Fanyang cavalry. The equipment of the Fan Yang Iron Cavalry was not glamorous, in order to gain mobility, the Fan Yang cavalry gave up the heavy armor, and all the cavalry were only equipped with leather fish scale armor, and the horses were not armored. However, it is such a light cavalry, but in the bitter cold land of the northeast, walking like flying, invincible!
The Yuyang army was like a black frenzy, surging towards the small Changshan City.
For the sake of a small Changshan city, and the remnants of a thousand Changshan soldiers in the city, An Lushan's 180,000 troops poured out!
This is no longer a war, and it is impossible for a war to be waged between two sides with such a disparity in power!
It's a show-off! Or, a mandala ceremony!
An Lushan wants to use the blood of the soldiers and civilians of Changshan to complete a bloody mandala and officially declare his break with the Tang Dynasty!
An Lushan has put Changshan on the altar! Now all you have to do is pull out the sacrificial sword, cut the city and its people with a knife, chop them up and crush them into powder, and throw them into the fire!
An Lushan will smell the smell of a city burning, in Liaodong, he has smelled the smell of burning skin and flesh with masonry countless times, and every time he smells this smell, he will produce an incomparable pleasure!
However, the settlement of the Hu people in the bitter cold land of Liaodong is too small, and the smell of burning jade is not strong, and he is not too happy to smell it!
Changshan is different, this city located in the Central Plains is a model of a wealthy city in the Tang Dynasty, where all the characteristics of a thriving dynasty are concentrated: dense population, bustling street markets, wonderful silk and bamboo, mellow wine, and the red lantern of Oiran Fang, which almost never goes out!
Cutting such a city and its people into flames, An Lushan felt extremely excited just thinking about it!
What excites him even more is that Changshan is just a starting point!
In the future, there will be more desirable metropolises than Changshan, Luoyang, Chang'an, Chengdu, those huge metropolises, will become a bloody mandala in front of An Lushan!
An army of 180,000 was surging in the field, and the walls of Changshan were trembling slightly.
Yan Gaoqing held a long sword in his arms and sat under the eaves of the South City Gate Tower, facing the black tide rolling outside the city, his long white beard fluttering gently in the morning breeze.
There was no one around him.
The thunderous sound of war drums, the sound of tidal steps, and the snow on the eaves of the gatehouse shook off one after another, falling on Yan Gaoqing's sideburns, but his old rickety back was not moving.
There is no white snow on the city wall, the fierce battle yesterday evening, the blood of death, the snow in the south of Changshan City baked and melted, and the cold wind of the night, and the snow and blood water, condensed into red ice, covering all the city walls, Changshan City Wall, became a blood city!
Footsteps sounded behind him.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Yan Gaoqing looked out of the city and asked lightly.
"Father, Chang Shan Jian is willing to live and die with Chang Shan!" Yan Quanming was still wearing a scholar's robe, standing in front of Yan Gaoqing, bowing his head and saying.
"I wish to live and die with Taishou!" On the city wall, more than 1,000 Changshan soldiers, armed with knives and guns, full of energy, under the leadership of Zhang Xing, bowed down to Yan Gaoqing, but turned a blind eye to the tide of enemy troops outside the city.
Yan Gaoqing stood up and bowed to the soldiers: "Thank you!" ”
Yan Quanming waved his hand, and a thousand Changshan soldiers quickly entered their respective posts.
Zhang Xing clutched the sword and stood beside Yan Gaoqing.
"Izumiaki, why don't you wear armor?" Yan Gaoqing asked.
"Father, son is a scholar, he doesn't know how to fight, he only knows poetry!" Yan Quanming was a little ashamed.
"Being able to understand poetry and books is the pride of my Yan family!" Yan Gaoqing smiled faintly.
"It's just that there is one thing, my son is unwilling!"
"What?"
