Yang Xuangan nodded, turned his head and looked at the other side of the river, on the other side of the river, more than three hundred steps away, Yang Su, who was in golden armor, was sitting on a horse surrounded by more than a dozen guards, watching what happened here, and Hongfu also changed his armor, and mixed in the guards disguised as a man, but his petite figure was particularly conspicuous.

Yang Xuangan looked at the tall city wall of Puzhou City, the smile on his face slowly faded, and his brows began to lock deeply: "Wang joins the army, this big camp outside the city is easy to fight, but Puzhou City is high and deep, how can my five thousand cavalry attack the city, do you have any good plans?" ”

Wang Shichong thought for a while and said to Yang Xuangan: "I have a way, I can make the enemy army in Puzhou City surrender without attacking the city!" By the way, General Yang, can your iron-tired bow shoot at the city tower from a hundred paces away? ”

Wang Dan stood at the head of the north gate, looking at the big camp in the north of the city with a burst of movement, the camp gate opened, and a knight riding a tall black horse, with a beast face and chain armor, a silver helmet and a bloody tassel, and a golden demon face rushed out, and stopped four or five hundred steps away from the north gate.

The knight ran back and forth in the city a few times with a long lance in demonstration, the big mouth on the head of Su Dangui was open, and a long arrow was inserted in it, and his expression stayed at the moment before he died, and the state of horror was unbearable.

The knight held this pure steel horse with one hand, which weighed more than 100 catties, and did not look difficult at all, and even controlled the horse with one hand. From time to time, I do some difficult movements such as emergency stops, forward stands, and vaults, and show off my equestrian skills.

The guards at the head of the city were in a commotion, and some people began to exclaim in a low voice: "Yang Xuangan." This is Yang Xuangan, the fierce general who broke the Turks! And the captains at the head of the city were afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so it took a burst of whipping and kicking to silence these little soldiers.

Yang Xuangan heard the discussion at the head of the city, and for a while, he stopped his horse, took off his face, and shouted to the head of the city in a straight voice. The voice shook everyone's eardrums in the city: "The enemy general defending the city is Wang Dan? Talk back! ”

Wang Dan's face was gloomy, he stuck his head out of the city, and also shouted loudly: "Yang Xuangan." What's the matter with finding Ben? ”

Yang Xuangan said in a deep voice: "You are greedy for profit for a while, and you follow the Han King Yang Liang to make trouble, and now you have seen the heavenly power of the imperial court!" Ben will read that there is a good life in heaven, if Kaesong surrenders now. or you may be spared death. If you stubbornly resist to the end, this is your fate. ”

After Yang Xuangan finished speaking, he pressed the mechanism of the horse lance with one hand, and the body of the lance shrank, and Su Dangui's head suddenly lowered.

Yang Xuangan stuck his lance on the ground, held the shaft of the arrow, took off the head at the tip of the lance, and pulled up the six-stone iron-tired bow behind his back. Pierce the arm, take the bow and arrow. Mustering the strength of the dantian, he roared, and the wolf tooth arrows strung with human heads were like meteors, heading straight for Wang Dan.

Wang Dan was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head, only to feel a gust of wind in his ears, and half of his face felt as if he had been brushed by a red-hot iron rod, followed by a "ding" sound, which was the sound of a strong arrow into the wood, and there was an exclamation from the left and right.

Wang Dan looked back and saw that Su Dangui was staring at him with bared teeth, as if he blamed himself for not saving him.

There was a big chaos in the city, these generals had only heard of the legend of Yang Xuangan's seven arrows shaking the Turks, today they finally opened their eyes, this time they are even more soldiers have no fighting spirit, they will have no fighting spirit, if they are not afraid of the harshness of military law, many people want to throw down their weapons and flee now, and a few generals who came back to their senses are desperately pressing the soldiers.

Wang Shichong, who was standing at the gate of the camp, saw such a chaotic situation in the city, and knew that the fire was almost there, and he only needed to add the last handful of firewood, so he waved his hand, and more than 20 Xiaoguo knights who had been prepared for a long time rode out and ran in the direction of Yang Xuangan.

The other knights each threw down a round stake as thick as his forearm, and stood on the ground as tall as a horse, and the knights stabbed it down with their lances, and nailed the stakes into the ground without moving.

The knights with the captives dismounted one by one, and tied the captives, who were already half-dead and covered in blood, to the stakes, and a few sharp-eyed soldiers at the head of the city recognized the identities of these people and whispered: "Hey, isn't the third one on the left Wu Teamzheng!" ”

"Yes, I know the second one on the right, it's Team Li, who went into the city yesterday to discuss matters, and I was on duty at the city gate at the time, this guy is horizontal!"

"The one in the middle is Vice General Liu, and he came to my township a few days ago to pull me into the team!"

The officers in charge of suppressing the soldiers at the head of the city, most of these people are colleagues and dead friends, and they have been drinking wine, eating meat and visiting the kiln together in the past two days.

Yang Xuangan put on the golden demon mask, which is strange to say, as soon as the face was worn, the people in the city suddenly noticed the blood stains on the battle armor and battle robe on his body, and they didn't know how many people died under him in the battle just now, and the body of the stainless steel lance was already stained with blood, only the part of the gauntlet was not red.

I only heard Yang Xuangan roar sharply: "The generals in the city, don't be lucky and resist the heavenly soldiers for the sake of your selfish desires, these ten military academies are all diehards who tried to fight against Tianwei when the army arrived, and they were stubbornly resistant. ”

After Yang Xuangan finished speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the city, the long lance in his hand, and sprinted forward with all his might, in a burst of exclamations, the long lance held high suddenly flattened, and the head of the first person was like a broken watermelon, blood and brains flew together, and the Yellow River was the same color as the sky.

Li Xiaofei, who was behind Wang Dan, couldn't hold back anymore when he saw this scene, turned his head and vomited heavily, while Wang Dan's face seemed to be washed with sweat, flowing into rivers, and both eyelids were beating violently.

The Knights let out a burst of cheers, and a few of them even pulled out their trumpets and blew them. Suddenly, hundreds of knights in iron helmets and iron armor rushed out from the camp north of the city, and quickly lined up behind the wooden stakes. Each of them held a lance in one hand and a crossbow in the other, like a phalanx of steel, standing on the side of a stake.

Yang Xuangan laughed, and ran wildly from the other direction again, this time he didn't poke the skull violently like last time, and the tip of the blood-dripping lance flashed past the neck of the first person on the right.

A human head immediately moved from the neck. With the inertia of the warhorse's sprint, it flew out more than a dozen steps before it fell to the ground, and the headless body could not be planted because it was tied. The blood on his neck rushed up three feet like a fountain.

Wang Dan's weak voice came from the city: "General Yang, don't kill it, I'm willing to surrender!" I will surrender! ”

Half an hour later, the high suspension bridge was lowered heavily. The gates were wide open. Wang Dan took off his helmet, like a frosted eggplant, and walked out of the city gate with a bitter expression, followed by a group of soldiers, each of whom had sorted and discarded his armor and weapons as he passed through the open space in front of the city gate.

The dejected warriors sat down with the bound captives on the banks of the river, watched by hundreds of horse-mounted and lance-wielding knights. Since they surrendered voluntarily, they were not tied up like the soldiers.

Wang Dan and more than a dozen generals walked to Yang Xuangan and Wang Shichong's horse heads, who were standing side by side. He knelt down and untied his swords from his waists.

Yang Xuangan remembered what Yang Su said, his heart moved, put on a smiling face, jumped off the horse, helped Wang Dan up, and said: "General Wang has lost his way and returned to the court, thanks to the court, and the general will definitely play to the court." This king joined the army, but he was sent by the imperial court to supervise the army, and he was responsible for dealing with the aftermath of the war. ”

Wang Dan originally thought that if he didn't die, he would be sent to the capital to be beheaded, but when he heard Yang Xuangan's words, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said to Wang Shichong: "Wang joined the army, I heard me right, you said I have merit?" ”

Wang Shichong on the side touched his goatee with a smile, and said with a smile: "Yang Liang raised troops, unpopular, and will be defeated sooner or later. ”

"This time, you have also seen how fast the actions of the imperial court are, how powerful the thunderous blow during the counterinsurgency is, if you are still lucky, it will be the same fate as Su Dangui, if you are so familiar with the current affairs with General Wang, and even fight against the thieves and help the officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion, then not only is it not guilty, but also a heavy reward!"

Wang Dan stood aside and was told by Wang Shichong like this, but he didn't blush at all, but also had a happy face, and said: "So Wang joins the army and is willing to let me go back?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered in his heart, but he still pretended to think about it a little, and said: "This is not good, if you go back like this, Yang Liang will not let you go, but directly let more than 10,000 people enter the customs, I am afraid that the emperor will not be too relieved, I think so, you first prove your loyalty to the imperial court, and then cross the river to the river beach in front of Tongguan and set up camp, wait for the imperial army to arrive and organize you into the official army, and then make meritorious service and crusade against Yang Liang." ”

Wang Dan's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he exchanged glances with more than a dozen generals around him, only to see that these people were also at a loss.

So Wang Dan turned to Wang Shichong and asked cautiously: "Wang joins the army, how can I show my loyalty to the court?" We've already gone out of the city and surrendered, isn't that enough? ”

Wang Shichong smiled "hehe": "General Wang, you are a smart person, your surrender at this time is because you were forced by the force of my Xiaoguo Iron Cavalry, if after we leave, Yang Liang will send a large army over, will you still be able to guarantee your loyalty to the imperial court?" ”

Wang Dan immediately looked loyal, raised his hand and was about to swear, but was stopped by Wang Shichong with a smile: "No need to be like this, General Wang, these ten officers of Su Dangui killed two of them for me just now, and there are eight of them, and you have exactly a dozen people, go up and cut them down with a knife, so that you can prove your loyalty!" ”

Wang Dan was speechless for a while, and looked at Wang Shichong in surprise, but found that there was a faint killing intent on his face that was still smiling just now, although it was just a flash of blue light in his eyes, it still scared Wang Dan into a clever fight.

Wang Dan swallowed his saliva and squeezed out a smile: "Wang joins the army, and the execution of military law should be the business of the executioners, you see that we are all generals, it doesn't seem to be appropriate!" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head. The smile gradually faded from his face: "This is not military law, but national law, and these people are the first to make trouble." Later, in the face of the heavenly soldiers, he still resisted to the end, and he was desperate to step on the ground, and there was no cure, even after the rebellion was quelled, it was the life of the clan annihilation, and the so-called rebellious ministers and thieves were punished by everyone. Don't you understand? ”

Wang Dan and several generals behind him looked at each other, all with a difficult look on their faces, and Wang Dan changed into a smiling face again. said to Wang Shichong: "Wang joined the army, it's not that I don't understand this truth, it's just that you see, the family members we are waiting for are still in Yang Liang's hands." If things are done too much. I'm just afraid ......"

Wang Shichong's voice suddenly became as cold as the ice on the Tianshan Mountain: "What are you afraid of? I'm just afraid that Yang Liang will kill your whole family, right? He turned his head to look at Yang Xuan.

Hearing only the sound of "choking", Yang Xuangan suddenly pulled out the saber that Wang Dan had just dedicated to himself, and as soon as his right arm was forced, the sword body shook for a while, making a "buzzing" sound, and Wang Dan and the others were so frightened that they all took a few steps back.

Yang Xuan said sharply: "Yang Liang can kill your family, but Ben Jiang can kill you now, hum!" You follow Yang Liang to raise troops. The crime should be beheaded, and Wang Senjun and the general Gu remembered that God has the virtue of a good life. I just let you go once, but you still want to step on two boats here, really we don't dare to kill people, right? ”

Yang Xuangan roared, carried the qi of the dantian, and the arm suddenly penetrated the strength of a thousand catties, grabbed the tip of the sword with his left arm, and said goodbye forcefully, only to hear the sound of "horn", the sword made of stainless steel was shocked into more than a dozen pieces, and fell to the ground with a "crackling mile".

Wang Dan and the others gave Yang Xuangan such a roar, and they were so frightened that they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly at Yang Xuangan's murderous eyes.

Wang Shichong snorted heavily and said, "Actually, you should feel lucky, if it is you and not them who are outside the city, it will be the turn of these people to kill you." ”

"Besides, I'm doing this for your good, you have raised an army to make a rebellion, and you haven't made an inch, when the imperial army arrives, eighty percent of the generals led by you will also behead the flags to set an example! Wang Dan, you have been in the army for many years, have you never seen a general kill people? If you want to kill Liwei, who will you kill if you don't kill you? ”

Wang Dan's face was cloudy when he heard this, and after Yang Xuangan finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you Wang for joining the army for your guidance, Wang dares to disobey his fate!" Before he could finish speaking, he snatched the saber from the forehand of one of the teams beside him, and walked straight to the person closest to him on the eight stakes.

The man stuffed a walnut in his mouth and couldn't speak, Wang Dan recognized that this person's name was Zhu Ling, he was the deputy general of Su Dangui, and he had drunk with him the day before yesterday, which could be regarded as a small friendship.

Zhu Ling heard the conversation between Wang Dan and Wang Shichong just now, and he had already lost any hope of living, his face was like ashes, he looked at Wang Dan, and he didn't say a word (and couldn't speak).

Wang Dan said in a low voice: "Brother, I'm sorry. With that, a sword pierced through his chest, he closed his eyes and drew out his sword, bringing out a puddle of blood, while Zhu Ling tilted his head and died directly.

Wang Dan started, and the rest of the generals had nothing to say, so they stepped forward one after another, and swords were added to these comrades who had been drinking together for the past few days.

In less than a moment's effort, the eight people became eight bloody corpses, especially the last ones, each of whom was slashed and stabbed by several people, and their deaths were much more painful than Zhu Ling's.

Wang Shichong looked at Wang Dan and the others with a gloomy face and killed these eight people, and said to Wang Dan: "Isn't this the end?" Ben will report to the imperial court, and say that you took the initiative to kill these rebels who took the lead in the rebellion, and led the army to submit to the imperial court, even if the army arrived, it would not kill you again. ”

Wang Dan said with a wry smile: "I also hope that General Yang, Wang will join the army and make a lot of good words to the imperial court and forgive us for our sins." ”

Wang Shichong glanced at Yang Su on the other side of the river, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that the thousands of defenders of Puzhou City have been here now?" ”

Wang Dan hurriedly said: "There were more than 2,000 defenders in Puzhou that day, and four or five hundred were killed on the spot, and the others either surrendered or were captured, and more than 200 people were unwilling to surrender, no, no, no, they were unwilling to rebel and make trouble, and were ordered to be killed by Pei Wen'an on the spot, and the others surrendered and were incorporated into my troops defending the city. ”

Yang Xuangan repeatedly recited the name "Pei Wen'an" twice, and asked, "Who is this Pei Wen'an?" ”

A lieutenant general beside Wang Dan rushed to say: "This Pei Wen'an is the military Cao of the Han Palace, and he is also the King of Han, no, no, no, he is one of the brains of the anti-thief Yang Liang when he raised his army, and this raid on Puzhou is this Pei Wen'an's plan." As soon as the words fell, Wang Dan, who had stolen the conversation, glared at him fiercely, and the deputy general was so frightened that he quickly kept silent.

Yang Xuan sighed "oh", he didn't grasp this new situation, so he asked: "Isn't the military advisor of Han King Yang Liang that Wang Fei?" Who is this Pei Wen'an? ”

Wang Dan hurriedly replied this time: "Pei Wen'an is a member of the Pei family in Hedong, because he is the concubine of a tributary, he has no Yin Jue, and he is not allowed to enter the court as an official, so he entered the Han Palace's mansion as a subordinate. There are dozens of people of his level in the Han Palace, and I didn't pay attention to this person until he personally formulated and implemented the plan for the raid on Puzhou this time, and our generals were all impressed by him. ”

Yang Xuangan muttered: "This person seems to be quite talented, but he must be guarded against." (To be continued......)
