PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

In September, the golden autumn has arrived, the sun sets, and the dappled scenery of the forest mountain road is sprinkled on the mountain road, the mountain spring is murmuring, the birds are chirping, and the wild flowers are dotted, which is a unique scene.

Xiao Qu sick one person and three horses, walking through this mountain road, this era is no better than the later generations, there are many wild beasts on the mountain, from time to time there are one or two small beasts from the shrubs on both sides of the mountain road from which they burst out, and there are two or three birds that are frightened to fly, rubbing the treetops, fluttering and flying away.

Farther away, there was a faint sound of tigers howling and wolf howling, and the little red horse was fine, startling the two Arab war horses from time to time.

But Xiao Qubing naturally will not be afraid of these mountain beasts, Ma Tong is human, the master is calm, they are not so afraid, and they carry Xiao Qubing to the west.

Xiao Quai's illness is to climb over the Taihang Mountain, go to the hinterland of Hedong, one person and three horsemen through the enemy formation, march in the Youzhou army, camp, rest, the whole process of three ~ accompaniment, waiting for the opportunity to kill the general or something.

The hinterland of Hedong in the Tang Dynasty is roughly equivalent to Shanxi in later generations, and the easternmost side of Hedong is the towering Taihang Mountain as its natural barrier, and there are many horizontal valleys in the east-west direction in the Taihang Mountain, which is called 陉.

The famous ones are the military capital, Puyin, Flying Fox, Jing, Fukou, Bai, Taihang, Yiguan, etc., which are the eight throat passages of Hebei Province and Dugi River South Road through Taihang Mountain to Hedong Road.

Generally speaking, if the Great Army wants to enter Hedong from Hebei Province, the best choice is Jingcheng. This passage leads directly to Taiyuan. From Taiyuan, you can go south along the Fen River. The terrain is extremely flat.

However, the passage that Xiao Quzhi walked was Fukou to the south of Jingcheng, which was from Cishan in the west of Handan to Shexian in Hedong, and after entering Hedong Road, he had to cross the mountain road between Taiyue Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain in order to enter the Fenhe Plain and have close contact with 100,000 Youzhou rebels.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, an Arab war horse had begun to gasp for breath, and Xiao Quzhi jumped on another Arab war horse. I thought I could hurry up and travel a little more.

Time is pressing, in early September, Sanjing Pass and Yanmen Pass were broken by Youzhou rebels on the same day, and on the same day, Youzhou rangers entered Hedong Road to open the road; On the fourth day of September, the two Youzhou armies in the east and north, totaling 100,000, entered Hedong Road.

Taiyuan is only more than 300 miles away from Yanmen Pass, and only a little more than 400 miles away from Jingcheng Pass, so I think that the 100,000 army should have arrived in Taiyuan at this time.

I don't know how many Youzhou soldiers Nan Jiyun and the remaining Hedong Army can hold? I have been doing three ~ accompaniments along the way, how long can I hold back the Youzhou Army going south?

Thinking of this, Xiao Qubing couldn't help but burst into tears, damn it, the Youzhou rebels only went south from Taiyuan to the Linfen area for only five hundred miles. And all the way is the plain, and Lao Tzu entered Linfen from here. It's almost 600 miles away, but nearly 500 miles are mountain roads, which is the rhythm of forcing Lao Tzu to hurry day and night.

When he was depressed, he heard three war horses neighing together, and two Arab war horses even jumped up, Xiao Qu looked around, and saw a big tiger with white eyes and white forehead pounced down from the mountain, Xiao Qu was sick and comforted the three war horses loudly, and at the same time took off the ten-stone strong bow on his back.

Sou! Sou! A swishing sound sounded in the sky, and I saw hundreds of feather arrows coming out of the string, raining down on the majestic and strong Taiyuan City.

The one who shot these feathered arrows was a group of more than a hundred Youzhou cavalry, in addition to this cavalry, there were more than a dozen such cavalry squads, scattered and chaotic around this majestic city, galloping across the country.

Beijing, as the Tang Dynasty, is also the third largest city, Taiyuan City, which is composed of Jinyang County on the west bank of the Fen River, Taiyuan County on the east bank of the Fen River, and Zhongcheng across the Fen River connecting the east and west cities.

The circumference of the main city of Taiyuan alone is more than 40 miles, and the moat outside the city is wide and deep; In addition to the main city, there are five acropolis guards, and all kinds of defensive equipment are also extremely complete, which can be described as extremely majestic and strong.

However, despite this, the more than 30,000 Youzhou cavalry who arrived first were full of confidence in capturing Taiyuan.

There are two reasons, one is that more than 100,000 Youzhou troops were trapped in Hebei and had fallen into a dead land, and suddenly they turned around, broke through Jingcheng Pass and Yanmen Pass, and wiped out 50,000 Hedong troops with a very small battle loss ratio, which is simply a miracle, this is the miracle of the Great Light God!

The second is that after entering Hedong, there was no resistance all the way, and the burning, killing and looting along the way and seeing the dawn of victory again made the morale of these Youzhou soldiers extremely high again.

On the other hand, the Hedong Army behaved too much, and along the way, they also encountered a lot of sentry horses of the Hedong Army, all of whom fled without firing a single arrow, which was obviously frightened.

The range of the riding bow is not enough, these Youzhou cavalry can only ride a horse to quickly rush to the moat, with the speed of the war horse to throw the feather arrows far into the city, at the same time, from time to time out of all kinds of strange shouts, show off their might, shock the defenders at the head of the city, and hit the morale of the other party.

The vanguard of more than 30,000 Youzhou cavalry has surrounded Taiyuan City!

On the morning of the fifth day of September, Gao Xiuyan arrived at Taiyuan City with 13,000 Youzhou cavalry, and at the same time of burning and looting around Taiyuan, he sent someone to shoot a letter of surrender into Taiyuan City, saying that 100,000 Youzhou troops are coming soon, and Taiyuan should be surrendered as soon as possible, so as to save the lives of the people in a city, otherwise after the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and the chickens and dogs will not be left.

In the afternoon of the same day, nearly 20,000 vanguard cavalry from Jingcheng Pass arrived in Taiyuan, joined forces with Gao Xiuyan, and launched an attack on Taiyuan City.

"The Hedong Army has lost its heart, and Taiyuan is just around the corner."

In the humble camp of the Youzhou Army in the eastern city of Taiyuan, Gao Xiuyan looked at the main city of Taiyuan under the sunset, and said with a light in his eyes.

Beside him, Cai Xide was also proud: "According to our scouts and the captured people, Du Qianyun has escaped a day ago.

Now Taiyuan City is Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye a literati commander, the military and political slack, and after the defeat. Morale is gone. The festival commander fled again. If he doesn't surrender, what else can he do? ”

As he spoke, a group of cavalry galloped into the camp, led by an extremely burly man with a dark complexion, who was Zhang Xiaozhong, a confidant of An Lushan from the Xi people, and at this moment he rode a horse like a gust of wind and seemed to run to the two of them, turned over and dismounted. laughed and said: "General Gao, General Cai, good news, Taiyuan City shot a letter, indicating the surrender." ”

Cai Xide took the letter handed over by Zhang Xiaozhong, looked at it twice, and laughed loudly: "This Wang Chengye thinks very well, saying that he was originally surrendered to the city, but he wants the lord to promise him two conditions, one of which is that he will still guard Taiyuan." and reserved for him five thousand soldiers and horses; Second, after the sovereign is done. He wants to do things for the middle book. ”

"He even said that he must wait until the lord himself agrees before surrendering, otherwise he will fight to the death!" Gao Xiuyan saw the letter and said with a mocking face: "He really treats himself as a piece of material, and he still wants to be our prime minister, and he will fight to the death, what will he fight to the death?" ”

Cai Xide said coldly: "I will write a reply letter to him, if he really wants to surrender, he should personally welcome my Youzhou Heavenly Soldiers." Our army has already won the victory, and now if we don't attack the city, we just want to kill fewer people, and if we really want to storm this Taiyuan, it will be a finger to break!

Hum! If he repeatedly takes Joe, he annoys us, and after breaking the city, kill his whole family! ”

"I want him to go out of the city and surrender tomorrow, and then send people to my camp to reward the three armies." Gao Xiuyan added, in fact, what he wanted more was to ask Wang Chengye to find him a few little daughters-in-law, little ladies and quilts.

Soon, a reply letter was written, and Zhang Xiaozhong, who was also a marksman who could shoot a three- or four-stone strong bow, tied the letter to the arrow, rode his horse to the city, and shouted twice and shot back the letter.

After going back and forth, the two sides negotiated the conditions, Taiyuan City after dawn, the whole army surrendered out of the city, and then Wang Chengye still guarded Taiyuan, but the Youzhou army could enter the city to rest (loot); Tonight, Taiyuan City sent people to send wine and meat to reward the three armies.

So at two o'clock, the east city of Taiyuan City opened the city gate and sent out more than 30 four-wheeled carriages carrying wine and meat. The meat is sheep meat raised with grain and feed after gelding, and the wine is the fairy drunk produced by the Shikai Trading Company.

What made Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan and others even more satisfied was that Wang Chengye even prepared a cut mutton roll as thin as a piece of paper for them, as well as a matching hot pot base, hot pot dipping sauce, and cut coriander.

After letting people try these foods, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan, and Zhang Xiaozhong smelled the fragrant aroma of mutton hot pot, and they also moved their index fingers and began to feast.

The three of them talked and laughed, and while eating, they laughed at how Wang Chengye took Qiao before, and how he was filial now, he knew each other so well, and after he surrendered, it was not impossible to say a few good words for him in front of the lord, and it was not impossible for him to guard Taiyuan and transport materials and husbands for us.

So, that night, more than half of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army were happy to eat and drink.

The night is getting deeper, counting, the time is also late autumn, in the evening, the temperature quickly dropped, only ate meat and did not drink alcohol was arranged to patrol at night My Youzhou patrol cavalry on the horse hugged the leather robe on the body, listless patrol, behind them, in the military camp of the Youzhou army, there are still a few people, still around the bonfire, drinking wine and eating meat, whispering or singing.

In such a night, two cavalry teams of 3,000 people, with horses and hooves, secretly went out of the east and west cities of Taiyuan City, marching quietly, and there was a fire jumping in each eye, which was a little campfire in the Youzhou camp.

And in addition to the cavalry team of 6,000 people, there was an even more inconspicuous infantry detachment, each of them wearing the best armor that only the captain of the Tiance Mansion had, and they wore a blue-black battle robe outside for fear of reflection.

The first person was handsome with a little vicissitudes of life, and he was carrying two swords on his back, and it was Ye Wei, the owner of the three villages of the Tibetan Sword Villa, who came from Hangzhou West Lake to help in the battle.

Under the cover of night, the forty-nine Tibetan Sword disciples had already lurked like ghosts at this moment to a distance of less than fifty steps from the Youzhou camp, hiding their bodies in the dark, and the forty-nine people at the same time pulled out the heavy sword weighing either thirty catties or more than twenty catties on their bodies, clubbed the tip of the sword on the ground, and began to carry the qi and blood of the whole body, stimulating the speed of qi and blood.

On the other side, An Lushan's henchman Cai Xide woke up from his sleep because of thirst, and he screamed twice in the tent, but several of his guards outside the tent also squatted on the ground and fell asleep at this time, drooling for a long time.

Cai Xide had no choice but to lift the blanket, stumbled up from the leather cushion, and scolded while groping for the water bladder: "Rabbit cubs, one by one, you can't control your mouth when you have wine, see if you don't break your legs tomorrow...... But this drink is really strong......"

At this moment, he vaguely heard a bang, as if it came from the sky, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, and the drunkenness of his whole body turned into a cold sweat, Cai Xide hurriedly rushed out of the tent, and then was instantly frightened.

It was a sight he had never seen before, a procession of what appeared to be only a few dozen men, rushed into the barracks, marched at a rapid pace, and the momentum was overwhelming, and everywhere he passed, all the people were stopped and cut in half; Inside the camp, the sneak attackers were like bamboos, thousands of Youzhou soldiers howled wolves, scattered and fled, and outside the camp, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves rang out.
