The next morning, just after dawn, the rebels regrouped.

At the front of the huge battle formation, Zhan Wushuang was riding on his war horse, with a confident smile on his face, it seemed that he had not only rested well last night, but also was in a good mood.

Relying on the advantage of a large number of people, they could sleep peacefully all night, but they constantly sent troops to harass the Tang defenders, so that the soldiers at the head of the city could not understand the truth and did not dare to slack off.

One side is full of energy, and the other side is physically and mentally exhausted. In the long run, the outcome of the war can be imagined.

It's just that Zhan Wushuang didn't expect that in such a tense situation, Tang An still dared to let his sons and daughters take turns to sleep. If the rebels really did not feint, but actually attacked the city, it would be too late to regret it.

He's guessing people's hearts.

No smart general would want his soldiers to hold grudges against him. After several days of fierce battles and cold weather in the north, it was enough to make those southern soldiers complain. His gamble was that he would not dare to take risks in case of mutiny.

There was no doubt that he had won the bet.

The soldiers couldn't guess Lord Tang's thoughts. The night before, Rao is Chen Buping had full confidence in him, but he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, the rebel offensive is getting more and more fierce, let the big guy rest... Can it really be done? ”

"Why can't it be done? After fighting for a day during the day and again at night, it is strange that those who are soldiers do not rebel. If the veteran general is here, with the appeal of his old man, the soldiers will definitely have no complaints, but unfortunately Zhan Wushuang is not his grandfather, he is still too young, and he is not qualified enough in the rebels. ”

Tang An smiled calmly and patted Chen Buping's shoulder to show relief: "You are here to command the battle, but when it comes to conspiracies, you still want me to come - you look at them." ”

On the high city wall, with the faint lights in the city, Chen Buping could vaguely see that the people in the city were migrating on a large scale.

An unknown army carried a heavy burden and shuttled back and forth in the houses, and from time to time there was a sound of "clanging bells", and I didn't know what they were doing.

These days, this mysterious unit has always existed. Their task seemed to be only to evacuate the people, and then to get busy in the empty house, but as for who they were and what they were doing, Chen Buping did not know anything.

He only knew that these people were cold-looking, well-armored, tall, and the momentum exuded from their bodies was the same as that of the Avengers.

In other words, they are elite soldiers who have seen blood, not embroidered pillows that hide in the walls all day!

The fact that such people are put on the battlefield will certainly greatly alleviate the increasingly difficult situation at present, but the imperial court chooses to hide them and do something that only craftsmen do.

Following Tang An's fingers, Chen Buping could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and asked, "Lord Tang, the imperial court obviously still has soldiers, why don't you send them to defend the city?" Will they not remember that they are soldiers until the gates are breached? ”

"Of course they are soldiers, and they are the key divisions that can turn the tide of the war at a critical moment." Tang An sighed, knowing that he was a little speechless, and said after a moment of silence: "Brother Chen, if one day you find out that I have lied to you, will you hate me?" ”

Chen Buping was slightly stunned, and said: "My old Chen's life is all an adult's, you just want my life, and I won't say a word." If you don't say it, I'm sure you have a point. ”

"It's enough to have your words."

Tang An nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the atmosphere was a little depressing, revealing a sinister smile, and turning his head to look at the busy troops: "Let them go into battle to kill the enemy, it's still too early, but let them help dig a big pit, Lao Tzu should still have this face." ”

"Dig... Digging a pit? ”

Chen Buping blinked, and found that although he had been with Master Tang for so long, he still couldn't keep up with the adult's thinking. No wonder Ji Chen, a bastard boy, always said that the ideas of adults are as untraceable as wild, damn it, Lao Tzu just read too little back then, and he couldn't see through the minds of adults, and he couldn't pat himself on the back.

Tang An had no intention of explaining, and said: "Hurry up and rest, tomorrow morning, you and I will go up to the city tower together, and everything will be clear." ”

***********************************

Now, Chen Buping is standing on the city tower.

He and Ji Chen guarded Tang An in the center like two Dharma protectors.

At this time, Tang An had already changed into snow-white clothes, tied up his hair in a high bun, and looked like a generation of poets from a distance, a dusty mess.

Ji Chen knelt down on one knee with a sincere face and said, "Big brother, junior brother, I implore you to take ten steps back!" ”

Tang An was curious: "Why is this?" ”

Ji Chen explained: "With your appearance and temperament, big brother, you can't find a second one in this world. Usually you can use the cover of armor afterwards to confuse the enemy's sight, but now that you are dressed so handsomely, you can't hide your brilliance at all, and even a blind person within a mile can see that you are our backbone. What if the other gang of grandsons have any bad intentions? The subordinates dared to propose: For the sake of the soldiers, please move the eldest brother! ”

Fuck, this kid has only been in the capital for a few days, and his sycophant kung fu is progressing as fast as riding a rocket. The sycophants that used to be rigid and rigid are now as nowhere to be found as antelope hanging horns.

Tang Anxin was happy, but on the surface, he waved his hand lightly: "Hey-I've been worried about this matter for a long time, but do you think that others can't see it when you wear armor?" Zhan Wushuang's grandson has shot Lao Tzu's seven arrows in the past few days. People like me, since they can't hide their identity if they can't change their clothes or not, what are they worried about? ”

Ji Chen laughed, but secretly thought in his heart: Damn, on the road of stinky shamelessness, the eldest brother's pursuit is really endless.

"Vomit—"

Chen Buping, who had a straightforward temperament, listened to such a shameless conversation between the two, his chest and abdomen rippled, and when he saw Tang An and Ji Chen looking at him together, he coughed and covered up: "The last general ate too much last night, please punish the adults." ”

Tang An waved his hand disapprovingly, and sat down on the square stool that had been prepared a long time ago, and there was a zither in front of him that he had searched for from nowhere. The fingers gently plucked the strings, making a strange sound that had no beauty to speak of.

On the city wall, the three thousand defenders frowned in unison: Damn, don't play if you can't play, it's really hard to hear!

Among the rebels, Zhan Wushuang looked at Tang An's appearance of playing treasure, and secretly frowned.

Above the city tower, white-clothed Fuqin, he really thought he was Kong Ming's rebirth?

Vice General Zuo was full of suspicion and said, "General, isn't this guy making an empty plan?" ”

The right lieutenant general was immediately dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Empty your mother!" If you don't have culture, don't open your mouth, if he puts up an empty plan, what will happen to those defenders on the city wall? ”

"Guard your second uncle! Don't you see that there are a lot fewer defenders today than there were a few days ago? The left vice general scolded him very facelessly, and counterattacked: "The general thinks twice, and the last general thinks that there must be fraud!" ”

"Lie to your mother!" The right lieutenant general also clenched his fists and said: "Judging by the general, this kid must be deliberately pretending to be a ghost and delay time!" ”

"Don't make any noise!"

Zhan Wushuang's eyes flickered, looking at Tang An, who was still intoxicated with the harsh sound of the piano on the city, and muttered: "I know this guy better than all of you, if it comes to insidious and cunning, no one in the world can beat it." In the past few days, we have been harassing day and night, and the troops defending the city have long been exhausted, and this bastard must want to let the soldiers take turns to rest and recuperate. How could General Ben fall for his tricks? ”

"Squeak!"

As soon as Zhan Wushuang finished speaking, he found that the dilapidated heavy city gate was opened for the first time, revealing a slight gap.

The door opened, and the sound of the piano stopped.

Tang An, who was dressed in white, stood up and pointed lightly, and Ji Chen, who was on the side, immediately raised the "megaphone" and sent it to Tang An's mouth.

"Zhan Wushuang, I'm setting up wine in the city, do you dare to come?"

Dare to come?

This is nothing short of a blatant provocation!

All the rebel perspectives turned their eyes on the boss, only to find that the latter's face was pale.

"Hmph, at this point, I still want to mess with my army!" Zhan Wushuang had a gloomy face and shouted: "Zhang Shenzhou, I ordered you to take eight thousand men and horses to attack the city!" If you attack the city gates, I will take credit for you! ”

The right lieutenant general's face was full of joy, it is said that none of the four city gates have been broken yet, and if he is the first to rush in, he will definitely go down in history.

"The last general commands!" Zhang Shenzhou's eyes lit up, and he felt that he was not as energetic as he was now, and waved his big hand: "Sons, rush into the city with me and open the way for Lord Xiangguo!" ”

"Kill!"

Under the cover of a rain of arrows, the 8,000 black-armored soldiers galloped wildly, like a herd of wild horses on the loose. Tang An, who was dressed in white, moved the fastest, and was the first to hide behind the giant shield, how could he look like he was out of the dust at all?

Some of the 3,000 soldiers carried their shields, while those without shields hid behind the wall, and the difference in numbers determined the weakness of the counterattack.

After a few breaths, the rebels rushed in front of the West Xuanmen.

This gate that the Murong Fairy once walked through was of great significance to the rebels. Zhang Shenzhou endured the agitation and shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

The process went unexpectedly smoothly.

When he saw the light coming out of the crack in the door, Zhang Shenzhou's ugly face smiled like a flower.

How many days and nights of anticipation, how many dreams of the picture of the marquis and the prime minister, now it is finally coming true!

In addition to being happy, he also sympathized with the legendary Lord Tang in his heart: in the face of absolute strength, what is the use of playing some intrigues? If you honestly close the city and hold on, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, who would have thought that he would actually open the city gate by himself.

Ah, it's too big, right? Regret it, right?

The two city gates were completely opened, and the soldiers at the front looked at the corridor, slightly stunned, and said, "My lord, a few pieces of cloth hang down at the other end of the city gate, and I can't see the appearance of the city clearly." ”

Well?

Zhang Shenzhou looked at the call, and sure enough, he saw several large white cloths hanging down at the other end of the road, covering the scenery in the city.
