Chapter 374: Admiral Tiance
Chen Xuanli watched all this happen with a telescope on the city tower, dumbfounded, and sighed: "What kind of weapon is this, it has such power?" ”
Yun Fei played with the telescope and said, "What you have seen is only a part, and there are some things you have not seen, so I guarantee that you will be more shocked." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info What our king has done can already be described as a miracle, how can you people understand. ”
Chen Xuanli couldn't refute it at all at this time, he felt for the first time that Li Shan was a god-like existence.
This battle, the most disparity in the number of troops in history, was won by 200 men against 30,000 men.
captured the enemy's main general, Cui Qianyou, killed thousands, more than 10,000 surrendered, and more than 10,000 fled.
All the people in Chang'an City, whether they were soldiers, officials, or ordinary people, were boiling. The victory in this battle is incredible, but the victory is convincing and reassuring. After this battle, no one in Chang'an City questioned Li Shan's authority, and Tang Suzong also personally issued an edict appointing Li Shan as the general of Tiance, responsible for all matters related to the conquest of the rebels.
was also shocked by the news, of course, there was Li Chengwei, who was in Luoyang and had become an emperor.
Li Chengwei is now in a yellow robe, and he has become the emperor in the palace in Luoyang, spending all day long in debauchery and pleasure, indulging in beauty. When the news of Cui Qianyou's defeat reached Luoyang, Li Chengwei was rolling in the fat powder pile.
"What? Cui Qianyou was defeated? Hasn't Chang'an become an abandoned city? How could it be defeated? Where is he? Let him come to me, no, see me. Li Chengwei said.
"Your Majesty, General Cui Qianyou was defeated and captured, most of the 30,000 elite soldiers were captured, and only 2,000 remnants of our army escaped. It is said that it was Li Shan who led the army in Chang'an this time, with very strange weapons, which were extremely powerful, and our army had no ability to parry at all. "The one who came to report was the deputy general who fled back from Chang'an.
"Li Shan? Li Shan of Dali? Li Chengwei was also surprised, no one thought that Li Shan, a dignified Dali monarch, a person wanted by the Tang Emperor, would appear in Chang'an at this time.
"Exactly."
"That's just right, since this person is here, it's the opportunity God gave me." Of course, Li Chengwei wants to see Li Shan, as the so-called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, now Li Chengwei finally has the courage to confront Li Shan head-on. And he is very confident now, the 200,000 troops of the Tang Army have been defeated by him, and now the momentum is like a rainbow, and a mere Li Shan is just a mantis arm as a car.
Li Chengwei said: "This time, I want to drive the expedition and take Chang'an in person." ”
He couldn't wait to see Li Shan kneeling and begging for mercy, not only that, but he also wanted to dominate the Tang Dynasty, and then conquer Dali, so that Li Shan could see everything he had destroyed by himself. Just thinking about it already made him tremble with excitement, Li Shan had always been out of his reach, so that Li Chengwei's hatred for Li Shan was buried so deep that he himself didn't realize how eager he was to kill Li Shan.
When this opportunity came to him, this impulse was enough to make him lose his mind, enough to make him desperate to defeat Li Shan. Besides, he didn't believe that Li Shan had a chance to defeat him at all now, and Chang'an's battle report had already been sent. Li Chengwei knew that Li Shan was good at using troops, and Cui Qianyou's defeat this time was nothing more than a rash attack by the enemy and an ambush by Li Shan, so he would not be like Cui Qianyou.
"Pass the order, gather troops, and prepare for battle. Ten days later, I will go on a personal expedition to let everyone know that I am the true Son of Heaven. ”
At this time, Chang'an City also ushered in two groups of people.
The first batch was naturally the Dali army brought by Yunfei, with a total of 10,000. These 10,000 soldiers and horses are the elite of Li Shan's army, and the 2,000 elite soldiers that Li Shan brought before were selected from here, and these people are proficient in guns, artillery, and even airships. Now Li Shan's soldiers are all modernized, and there are already mobile tanks, although they cannot launch long-range missiles, but the range of shells of several thousand meters has far exceeded the level of the Tang army's artillery.
The second group was an army led by Guo Ziyi that fought against the rebels in Henan, totaling more than 20,000 people.
Guo Ziyi disagreed very much with General Li Shan's Tiance, but he didn't have anything to do. Li Shan's Dali army has now been stationed in Chang'an City, and the entire Chang'an City is impregnable under the control of the Dali army. Guo Ziyi's 20,000 elite soldiers could only be stationed outside the city and were not allowed to enter.
Li Shan has now completely controlled the situation in the Tang Dynasty, because of the rebellion, many ministers in the court have fled, Yang Guozhong died, and the traitorous ministers who originally relied on Yang Guozhong to ascend to the throne were even more scattered, and those who did not escape were also screened by Li Shan one by one, and they were directly driven out if they were useless.
A group of officials brought by Li Shan from Dali were placed in the court one by one, and these people were all shrewd and capable people who had learned from Li Shan College and made achievements in Dali, and they were all Li Shan's henchmen.
In this way, Li Shan not only controlled the court situation, but also carried out a major blood change in the court. Most of these people were in their thirties and forties, and they received Li Shan's education since childhood, and their deep-rooted democratic ideas and scientific concepts enabled them to clearly carry out Li Shan's orders and resolutely support Li Shan's policy.
Although there are still some old ministers in the DPRK, they are very dissatisfied with Li Shan's series of drastic reforms, which no longer simply affect their interests, but impact on the social concept on which they live. But they have no way at all, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and all resistance in the face of absolute control is futile.
The reason why Li Shan is so anxious to stabilize the situation is because he must first settle the inside, and soon Li Chengwei will lead the army to come, and when the time comes, Li Shan will not dare to take it lightly, let alone cause trouble against Xiao Wall. Li Shan understood that in this life, this would be his best opportunity to change the world, and if he didn't succeed this time, he would never have a chance to return to the Tang Dynasty.
"Report, the rebels have gathered in Tongguan, with more than 100,000 troops, and they will invade the capital in a few days."
Li Shan looked at the battle report and said with a smile: "Li Chengwei, it's really a narrow road, I didn't expect to go around such a circle, and in the end we will meet in this situation." ”
Finally, Li Chengwei gathered his troops, a total of 150,000, claimed to be 200,000, set off from Tongguan and came to Chang'an City. And Li Shan also straightened out the internal affairs and was ready to face the battle.
Li Chengwei's whole army lined up and called for battle under Chang'an City, and Li Shan still rode out of the city alone to meet him. Li Chengwei also rode forward alone, and the two met in front of the position.
"Li Shan, it's been a long time. How did you get here? You don't let the emperor of Dali go, but you want to come to the Tang Dynasty to take this trip to the troubled waters, do you think you can be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? I have long heard that you also used intrigue and trickery in Dali to occupy the magpie's nest and usurp the throne of Nanzhao, but if you want to play this trick here, it is a miscalculation, I have an army of 200,000, how many do you have? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? ”
Li Chengwei was so happy, seeing that Li Shanfu could finally vomit his previous unhappiness, it was even more refreshing than when he ascended the throne in Luoyang.
Li Shan smiled contemptuously and said, "You are a wine bag and rice bag, and your start is just a group of wine bags and rice bags." I know that you will never listen to me now that I advise you to surrender, so I don't bother to talk nonsense with you and go to war directly. I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to talk to you. ”
Li Chengwei's expression was funny, and he smiled: "Let me surrender?" It's the funniest joke I've ever heard, don't worry, I won't kill you when I break through the city. I want to keep you, let you watch me walk step by step to the peak of Datang, and then take Dali and kill all your wives and children. Ruyan shouldn't have been with you at the beginning, she was with the wrong person, she should be mine, it's mine. ”
In the end, Li Chengwei's expression was a little crazy, gritting his teeth, eager to tear Li Shan alive.
Li Shan is now forty-six years old, he has experienced too much, and his mind is fully mature. It will no longer be as fierce as a thousand, and, in his opinion, Li Chengwei is not worth his attention at all.
Li Chengwei was still shouting, and Li Shan took out a pistol directly from his arms, which was very exquisite, but very powerful, and was made in imitation of the appearance of the Desert Eagle.
The gun was aimed at Li Chengwei, but Li Chengwei didn't know what this thing was, and he couldn't imagine that Li Shan would kill at this time.
"What is this? The tool you use to provoke? I see you ......"
"Bang Bang Bang"
Li Shan fired several shots in a row, and the two were more than ten meters apart, at this distance, even if Li Chengwei was wearing armor, it would be useless, and Li Shan's marksmanship was very accurate, and a fatal bullet directly hit Li Chengwei's head.
Li Chengwei's eyes were wide open, and he didn't believe that Li Shan killed him like this until he died, everything he fantasized about was just his fantasy. Reality is often much more cruel than fantasy.
"Your Majesty has an accident, hurry up and rescue Your Majesty." The people behind him suddenly fell off the horse, and they immediately panicked, they didn't know what Li Shan had done.
At the same time, shells on the city gates were fired, which were not made of gunpowder, but explosives, dozens of times more powerful than gunpowder. And the strikes are more accurate, all aimed at the lieutenant generals, command platforms, marshal flags and siege equipment.
"Boom Boom"
The airships in the sky also began to drop bombs, the same carpet bombing, no matter how many soldiers came. Such battles are completely unequal, so there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
And Guo Ziyi and other old ministers were arranged by Li Shan to watch the battle in the city tower at this time, they didn't see it before, but now everything is happening in front of their eyes.
Unparalleled shock, this is not a battle, it is a one-sided slaughter, it is a punishment of the gods.
When Li Shan returned to the city tower majestically, at this moment, everyone knelt down and surrendered. (To be continued.) )
