The Buddhist in-laws of Hongchen Shitai and Squid Zen Master are always in the same bed, and most things cannot reach a consensus, so quarrels have become their daily routine. Small things are noisy, and big things are naturally noisy.

It is a big deal in the matter of whether to let go or not, so the squid Zen master and the Hongchen master are so noisy that they completely forget about the precepts in the Buddhist gate. The next day, when they woke up, they were still arguing, and it was not until they saw An Qingxu's rebels departing from Luoyang that they finally stopped arguing. I don't make noise because I'm angry to the extreme, and I don't have to make any more noise. Yan Zhuang, who was let go by the squid Zen master, actually rode a horse and walked in front of the team.

Hongchen Shi felt that the squid Zen Master was a typical tiger returning to the mountain, and it would not be so easy to kill Yan Zhuang again. So I hate the squid Zen master to the core. The result was that their two in-laws broke up again.

After listening to the narration of the squid Zen master, Liang Xingfa couldn't help but feel that the two of them were really good things and grinding, maybe they were not together but had complete merits. Now is not the time to think about other people's families, but how to retreat from the enemy. An Shouzhong's army would arrive in Yangcheng in two days. And the defenders here are less than 20,000 people, and the inhabitants of the city are about 100,000, but these people can't go to the battlefield, at most they can only help defend the city, throw some stones from above and so on.

An Shouzhong was quite ambitious, he always thought that as soon as his army came to this small Yang City, there was no need to fight at all, and it would open the city gate itself to meet him. In fact, it was exactly what he thought. Many soldiers and residents don't want to hit a stone with an egg, so why not surrender without dying.

In this regard, as the highest defender of Yangcheng, Liang Xingfa held many emergency military meetings, and first had to boost their morale and tell them that all the military actions of the rebels were paper tigers. Wars against the people are unjust wars, and rulers who violate the will of the people will perish.

Mere verbal encouragement is of little use, and the most important thing is to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. In fact, Liang Xingfa has been preparing for battle these days and has been unswervingly improving the army's weaponry.

An Shouzhong and the solemn army finally came to the vicinity of Yangcheng, but the situation in front of them made them very confused. Because in their opinion, those Tang troops who did not dare to confront them head-on actually dared to put their troops outside the city wall to conduct military exercises, putting on a posture of fighting to the death with the rebels led by An Shouzhong.

An Shouzhong, Yan Zhuang and others were a little weak-minded, and always thought that it was always not worth fighting with those crazy people. It's like if you let a mad dog bite you, even if you end up biting the mad dog to death, it's not a hate, and you have to pay to heal the venom.

An Shouzhong's and Yanzhuang's thoughts are consistent, but they are not consistent with their emperor An Qingxu's thoughts. If they didn't get any benefits and returned to the court like this, their emperor would scold them for being useless even if they didn't punish them. An army of more than 100,000 attacked a lonely city, but there was a reason why it could not be attacked.

Yan Zhuang told An Shouzhong: "We don't have to use all our forces to rush up, we can divide a part of our forces to test the opponent's combat effectiveness, if they are weak and can be bullied, we will defeat them in one fell swoop." If we can't be bullied, we won't lose much. And a city always has several directions, and when we come in one direction, we can always find out which direction they are weaker. ”

An Shouzhong laughed and praised Yan Zhuang as a generation of military advisors, and his ability to fight with soldiers is definitely not inferior to Zhuge Liang. The other generals under him also felt that Yan Zhuang was their biggest idol.

So, Yan Zhuang sent 5,000 men to attack the south of Yangcheng. Because according to Yan Zhuang's observation, the defense in the south was the worst in the entire Yang City.

Liang Xingfa really admired Yan Zhuang's observation, I don't know if he thinks Liang Xingfa is very good at fighting. Because the guard here happens to be Liang Xingfa. He placed 5,000 soldiers in front of the rebels, so the situation now is that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Judging from the current morale, the morale of Liang Xingfa's side is relatively high. Because they are both the defending side and the injured side. Because the Anshi Rebellion caused the family breakdown of countless civilians, many people especially hated the rebels, thinking that they were man-eating demons, and wanted to kill the rebels with their own hands. So the soldiers on Liang Xingfa's side are more crazy.

So, before the rebel soldiers could react, the soldiers on Liang Xingfa's side attacked the rebels with anger, and for a while the sand and dust were rolling, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth. Although the rebels are also shouting and shouting to kill, their momentum is obviously different from Liang Xingfa's side, and they are much weaker. In addition, almost every soldier on Liang Xingfa's side has a musket, and he uses a musket to fight against the rebels' knives and guns, and the advantage is obviously on Liang Xingfa's side.

Originally, the soldiers of the rebel army thought that there were so few people on the Tang Army's side, and they were not equivalent to tigers and wolves in front of them. As a result, they miscalculated, and the Tang Army was not a sheep but a wolf. Viciously showed his sharp fangs to the rebels, and for a while, killed the rebels on their backs. Many threw away their armor and fled in disarray. Many more died tragically at the hands of the soldiers of the Tang Army. There are corpses all over the ground, and even those who flee back will fall into psychological shadows.

An Shouzhong and Yan Zhuang were taken aback, how could they think such a lonely city could have such great lethality. Could it be that there are ghosts and gods to help? Yan Zhuang didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he said to An Shouzhong: "They just won by luck for a while, the strength is still on our side, if we continue to fight, we will still win, but the price paid can be reduced as much as possible." ”

An Shouzhong asked Yan Zhuang if there was anything else he could do? If you have one, let's do it as soon as possible, after all, so many people are hanging here, and the food consumed every day is equivalent to a small mountain.

Yan Zhuang smiled and said to An Shouzhong, "You don't have to worry too much. We've got a killer feature. ”

An Shouzhong was very pleasantly surprised and asked Yan Zhuang what it was, at this time, he must not hide it, and take all the credit back alone.

Yan Zhuang smiled and said to An Shouzhong: "It's all thanks to your soldiers." You don't usually restrain them, so they burn and loot all the way. They also arrested dozens of women. Fortunately, I forbade them to kill these lovely women. Now we can use these women as bargaining chips. ”

An Shouzhong didn't quite understand what Yan Zhuang meant, and thought that dozens of women could be of any use? Yan Zhuang continued to smile and said, "How could it be useless. We can pretend to tell Tang Jun that we will release these hostages if we give some benefits, and when they open the city gates, we will take the opportunity to cover up and kill them, and then we will not be afraid that we will not be able to capture such a city. An Shouzhong laughed heartily after hearing this. (To be continued.) )
