In the middle of the night, the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was no moonlight or stars in sight. This should have been a time of silence, but at this moment, it is shouting to kill the sky, and the black shadow is longing. Countless torches were lit on the top of the city, and countless dead wind lanterns were lit under the city, although they may not be able to illuminate the battlefield as if it were daylight, but it was enough for the warring sides to see each other's faces clearly.

According to the meaning of An Shouzhong, who led his troops to help from Fuyang, instead of making a big noise, it was better to sneak attack in the middle of the night and take down this Zhending lonely city in one go, but for his simple idea, Cai Xide, who had besieged this place for more than a whole month, did not agree. At this moment, he and An Shouzhong stood side by side under the central handsome banner, pointing to the scene of the fierce battle at the head of the city, and sighed softly.

"Now, General An knows what I mean? In this way, it is clear that the strength is used to force the force, and it is a night battle, but the head of the city is still holding on to the present without falling into decline, which shows that those soldiers and horses in the city are not to mention how brave they are, but if they want to compare tenacity, they are really impeccable."

An Shouzhong put down Yejun Anyang City this time, and quietly passed through the three counties from Fuyang to the three counties, and joined forces with Cai Xide, hoping to make a real decision in the fastest time. Therefore, hearing Cai Xide praise the enemy so much at this moment, he couldn't help frowning. Cai Xide knew what he wanted to say, and immediately smiled hesitantly: "Do you think I haven't tried a sneak attack in the middle of the night?" Do you know how many sneak attacks I have made during the 43 days of the siege? Fourteen times, each time the leader of the army swore to me that he would take the city, but all of them were driven down by the human wolf. If it weren't for the weakness of the regimental training recruited in the city, I would have lost far more than 6,000 men here. ”

A full 6,000 people, the rebels who were lost in this Zhending City have a full 6,000 people, and the wounded are more At the moment when the Tang army is pressing, these brave people who died in battle can simply make people's hearts hurt to the point that blood can not fall, and those states and counties that have now returned to their hands may still rebel, and it will affect the movement of the army as long as the nail of Zhending is removed, the states and counties of Hebei can quickly be connected into a line, even if it has not been able to get it before.

An Shouzhong and Cai Xide were not good enough to wear a pair of pants in the past, and they were a little embarrassed, but now that they plan to work together to lay down a real decision, so as to connect Hebei, he naturally will not suspect Cai Xide of exaggeration. However, he still had to remind: "Since Shi Siming has returned to Youzhou to sit in town, why doesn't he soldier?" Although the soldiers and horses in Anbei occupy Juyong Pass, the strength is only 20,000, and Youzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"Be quiet, don't forget that most of my soldiers and horses here are Shi Siming's subordinates." Cai Xide hurriedly reminded him, but he didn't mutter about what An Shouzhong said, but now the more important thing is not to question Shi Siming, so he can only shake his head and say, "The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Juyongguan are still second, and the Pinglu Rebellion is a big disaster." Besides, there are many new troops in Youzhou City, and they can't be transferred. In short, this nail must be removed. Lay down here within three days, and then I will go to Ye County with you depending on the situation. Regardless of whether His Majesty is dead or alive, we have to keep this piece of Hebei before we talk about anything else."

The Anshi Rebellion in history, the civil strife among the rebels, An Lushan father and son and Shi Siming father and son killed each other successively, and other generals sometimes surrendered and sometimes rebelled, which should have been a good time for the Tang Dynasty to break through, but the reason why it was protracted was because the emperor did not have enough ability, and he was suspicious of the generals who led the troops. The result of solving Guo Ziyi's military power is that the vitality of the Tang Dynasty is exhausted, and the feudal towns are lined up in the north and south of the Tang Dynasty, and the whole world is ruined, and the people are not happy.

And now, the Tang Dynasty can still take care of itself, Helong is still there, there is no new force rising in Mobei, only Shuofang, Hedong, Anbei three roads of troops and horses to quell the rebellion, all obey Du Shiyi's command, although Li Longji is still sitting on the throne, but because of the loss of prestige, he was temporarily overturned by Du Shiyi's series of means, which also prevented the use of troops from being constrained. But at the same time, this situation also caused changes among the rebels who had lost An Lushan - the rebels who were originally lined with mountains had to put aside the previous contradictions and fight against foreign enemies first. Although it is said that Du Shiyi is willing to surrender Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, Sun Xiaozhe, from the original intention of Cai Xide to An Shouzhong, what they hope more is to be able to keep Hebei, and then come to negotiate terms with the Tang Dynasty Emperor, or Du Shiyi.

Otherwise, it is a man-made sword, and I am a fish

Because of this, when the night passed and the sun rose in the east, there were dead and wounded all over the city, but even so, Fu Gudang still couldn't give birth to the slightest ease. In the past, although there were night attacks, the enemy often retreated only in the middle of the night, and did not immediately reorganize the offensive in the early morning. But now, just listening to the sound of war drums and shouting for slaughter, the rebels have reorganized a wave of fresh troops, as if they are about to storm the city again in the next moment. In these siege battles, he had organized the dead several times and destroyed the three rushing cars that Cai Xide used to storm the city gates, but now another one has been launched among the enemy troops

But now, can he still personally lead the army out of the city to meet the attack? Moreover, if he took away all the bravest soldiers and failed to come back alive, would the regimental trainers who were temporarily recruited at the head of the city withstand this wave of high-altitude and seemingly never-ending siege frenzy?

Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian only slept for a short time in turn, but in the shouting and killing that resounded in the sky, the moment they fell asleep was not even an hour. But compared to this physical exhaustion, what is even more difficult is the mental exhaustion, at this moment, they all saw the hesitation, and after the two glanced at each other, they tacitly made up their minds to die.

"General Fugu."

Fu Gudang turned his head and glanced at Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian, and forced out a smile and said: "You don't have to panic, as long as I still have a breath of air, I will definitely keep Changshan true and not lost."

"I also ask General Fugu to focus on dealing with the rushing car first, as he did before. You must know that Zhending City has been besieged for so long, and the city gate has long been overwhelmed, and it will definitely not be able to withstand a few blows from the rushing car. Seeing that Fugu's face changed, Yan Gaoqing took two steps forward, shook it deeply, and said in a very low voice after getting up, "General Fugu will attack in person, bring everyone who can be brought, and wait until the car is destroyed...... Break through and go to Jingcheng Pass"

The frown was raised when he stepped up. But before he could object, Yuan Luqian followed Yan Gaoqing's words and whispered: "We will continue to work hard to garrison Zhending, hoping that General Fugu can bring reinforcements." ”

"You know that if there were reinforcements, you would not have been trapped for many days. I dare to guarantee that the reason why the Hedong partial division did not move forward in Jingcheng Pass must not only be Cai Xide's soldiers and defeated the Hedong soldiers and horses for a time, but Shi Siming must also force the flying fox, with the intention of entering the Hedong from the west, which makes the Hedong soldiers and horses dare not act rashly After all, Cheng Qianli's festival is lucky, but I am afraid that there are still many people who are not convinced, and Du Dashuai's situation is not clear now, and the Hedong side can naturally only look at the situation first

When he said this in one breath, he saw Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian looking at each other and smiling, as if he had let go, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You two might as well join our army and kill together."

"I'm Changshan Taishou, and it's also because I just got the Zhending army and civilians involved in this war, if I just get out of here, and the rebels really retaliate and slaughter the city, even if I steal my life, how can I have the face to see people again? Life is too guarded, death is martyrdom, but once you die, what are you afraid of? Although Yan Gaoqing's voice was low, it seemed to cry blood. Seeing that Yuan Luqian showed an expression of approval, he added softly, "General Fugu, the two of us once said that it is a great blessing to be able to fight side by side with your Fugu warriors in Changshan, and to see a real good man, please ...... Precious"

Fu Gudang was involuntarily held tightly by Yan Gaoqing, and when Yuan Luqian also shook his hand like this, he has lived for more than 20 years, and he has always been sweaty and bloody, never crying, but he only felt that his nose was sour, his heart hurt, and his voice was choked unconsciously.

"You two...... The two stubborn stupid guys knew that this was the case, and I shouldn't have listened to Madame's advice to return to help."

Seeing that Fu Gudang withdrew his hand violently, and went down the city wall without looking back, Yan Gaoqing looked at his hands stained with sweat and blood in a daze, and then he understood that Fu Gudang was able to return to Changshan because of Wang Rong. Thinking of the exhaustion of the past month or so, and the bloody struggle of the past month or so, he saw someone carrying a corpse from his side, and the old soldier of the servant was clenching the steel knife in his hand until death, he suddenly shouted to stop the person, and then slowly stepped forward, stared at the corpse covered in bruises for a long time, and finally reached out to cover the still round eyes.

After a long while, Yan Gaoqing moved his hand, and he didn't know if it was because he used some strength or the heat in his hand, the dead old man finally closed his eyes, but the knife in his hand was still clenched. He bent down, broke off the fingers one by one, and then held the blood-covered knife in his hand, and then said in a low voice: "After the thick burial, as before, I will offer the spirit card in the Taishou Mansion." ”

Before, he also wanted to fight with the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city, but he was half ridiculed and half tough by Fugu Dang, and he rushed to the city tower to supervise the battle, but now, the Fugu Iron Army, who is really sure to be protected for a month, is about to break through the city, how can he, the Taishou, still hide behind everyone? He had also learned to mount and shoot, and he had learned to use the sword, and even if he could only kill one or two rebels, he would hold out to the end of the city

The Yan family is a descendant of the seventy-two sages and Miao of the Confucian sage, and there is no unscrupulous descendant who bends the knee to surrender to the rebel thief

Just as Yan Gaoqing pursed his lips and made up his mind, there was another person holding a sword beside him. He looked sideways at the other party, but saw that Yuan Luqian's face was also calm and calm.

"The two of us fought side by side in this last battle, all the years of love, but also our loyalty"
