Chapter 155: Shi Siming

―― An Lushan, who was escorted out by Yang Xi's own soldiers, scolded Yang Xi all the way to this "little traitor", but Yang Xi smiled disappreciatively, and smiled at Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who looked a little embarrassed and walked over to him: "Marshal Guo, General Li, it seems that no matter how many military exploits I make, I am still a traitor in the eyes of some people, hehe!" It's all stained with the light of my father, who was the prime minister!"

Yang Xi's self-deprecation made Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi even more embarrassed.

"I really didn't expect Marshal Yang to be so skilled, An Lushan has always been known for his bravery, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close, but Marshal Yang easily defeated him, it's really amazing!" After Guo Ziyi laughed twice, he stroked his beard and sighed to hide his embarrassment, "The last general has always felt that his martial arts are not bad, but he doesn't dare to compete with Marshal Yang at all, it's too far behind." ”

Yang Xi's blatant insult to An Lushan just now really embarrassed the two of them who were only slightly lower than Yang Xi, according to their feelings, they shouldn't treat An Lushan like this, but they couldn't accuse Yang Xi of anything in such a matter, let alone stop it, they could only use words to divert the embarrassment.

Guo Ziyi also knew that Yang Xi must not be in a good mood just now, just now they felt something strange from Yang Xi's self-reported sentence "Yang Xi, the youngest son of Prime Minister Yang Guozhong", and there should be very few people who will call their father by his name in front of so many people. Of course, they didn't think much about it, they just thought that Yang Xi was angered by An Lushan, so they had a harsh lesson and humiliation later.

After humiliating An Lushan fiercely, Yang Xi was in a good mood and replied to Guo Ziyi's words with a smile: "Marshal Guo has won the award, and the last general can only avoid the sudden attack of the thief by virtue of his youth and agility, and the last general also knows that Marshal Guo has outstanding martial arts, and ordinary people can't get close." With the courage of ten thousand people, in front of Marshal Guo, the last general can only admit defeat!"

Of course, he will not compete with Guo Ziyi, who is already in his fifties, and if he wants to learn martial arts, he can only compete with a few sons who are around Guo Ziyi. Guo Ziyi's sons have been fighting by his side all these years, and they all stayed by Guo Ziyi's side just now, and they all saw the fight between Yang Xi and An Lushan. Yang Xi knew that Guo Ziyi's sons were all extraordinary, and he sensed something from their excited expressions, but he was not interested in fighting them. Unless they come to the door and challenge him.

Guo Ziyi's eldest son Guo Yao did have the idea of competing with Yang Xi, but he didn't dare to mention it now that he was killed, after all, Yang Xi was the leading marshal, and his rank was slightly higher than his father, Guo Yao didn't dare to be abrupt, not to mention that his father Guo Ziyi was not on the side, and now the war has not stopped, if he brings it up now, even if Yang Xi will not blame. His father would have scolded him severely.

When Yang Xi was humble, Li Guangbi also came over and praised him sincerely: "Marshal Yang is too humble when he said this, and the general of the battle between Marshal and An Lushan just now was in his eyes. Marshal Yang's skills are really too many Gao An Lushan, and the last general believes that none of the people present can defeat Marshal Yang. The last general used to be proud of his skills, but today he saw Marshal Yang's skills. It's also a sigh of self-infliction!"

Li Guangbi's words were quite sincere, although he also felt that Yang Xi's humiliation of An Lushan was a bit excessive, and it also seemed a little bit unlucky. But Yang Xi's skills were still quite amazing to him, he really couldn't think of how the pampered son of Yang Guozhong learned such powerful martial arts. The generals in the army admire the most are those with outstanding ability, Yang Xi's performance in military strategy in the past year is very surprising and admirable, before seeing Yang Xi, Li Guangbi was amazed at him, and after actually seeing Yang Xi's people, he was even a little jealous, such a young man actually defeated hundreds of thousands of famous generals in the rebel array in a row, and captured Luoyang, so that he has been serving in the army, thinking that he is very powerful in all aspects.

Goodbye to Yang Xi's skills today, and he looked more and more impressed by this young commander.

Yang Guozhong, how can he give birth to such an outstanding son, it seems that the power of the Yang family will be further expanded in Yang Xi's hands.

It was also when several generals at the top of the Tang Army were embarrassed to divert Yang Xi's beating of An Lushan just now, a sergeant came to report, saying that the battle at Ximen was nearing the end, and a large number of Tang troops attacked the city.

After listening to the sergeant's report, Yang Xi immediately jumped on his horse and said loudly to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi: "Marshal Guo, General Li, let's go and have a look, the last general wants to see how Shi Siming was defeated." ”

The Anshi Rebellion in history was started by An Lushan, and finally Shi Siming and his son Shi Chaoyi, called the Anshi Rebellion with the combined name of the two surnames, and now An Lushan has been captured alive, and the west gate guarded by Shi Siming has also been breached, and he is ready to meet with another "legendary" figure to see how Shi Siming finally failed. What will Shi Siming do after the defeat, whether to kill himself or surrender, or to make the last struggle like a trapped beast.

When the group arrived at the direction of the West Gate, the battle was not completely over, but most of the rebels had been annihilated or surrendered with weapons, only a small number, about one or two thousand rebels were still resisting, this rebel army was pressed on the wall under the city gate, and the Tang army that pressed over fought desperately.

Commanding the battle at the head of the city is Guo Ziyi's general Gu Huaien, after he attacked the city, he was arrogant, and after forcing Shi Siming to surrender to no avail, he also ordered the sergeants to kill the rebels, without shooting arrows, to kill the heroic spirit of the Tang army, so there is a scene where the two sides are still fighting in the city.

Seeing this, Yang Xi let go of most of his heart, but he didn't want too many soldiers to be injured or killed in the battle, so he immediately ordered to shoot the rebels who were unwilling to surrender with bows and arrows and grenades.

With Yang Xi's order, the Tang army that had pressed over slowly retreated, and the follow-up sergeants immediately formed a formation, and the dense arrows and grenades were thrown into the rebel array, and after inflicting heavy casualties on the remnants of the rebels, the Tang army sergeants who had just retreated pressed up again.

The rebels, who were originally about 1,500 people, lost about 500 men and horses in this wave of Tang army's arrows and grenade attacks, and many of them were wounded, and many people no longer had the courage to fight and chose to surrender.

In the end, less than 500 sergeants remained. The recalcitrant men and horses were Shi Siming's personal soldiers and guards, Shi Siming was unwilling to be defeated like this, and he was even more unwilling to surrender to Yang Xi, a "little traitor", so he resisted desperately. The Tang army did not attack with the firearms during the siege, and even the arrows were not fired, which made Shi Siming feel tragic, he knew that the opponent wanted to fight with him on an equal footing, to see which side was more brave, so that the more than 2,000 closest and most elite men and horses under his command resisted desperately and fought with pride.

However, in the process of fighting, the Tang army suddenly retreated, and then a large number of arrows and grenades flew over, so that his remnants of the men and horses also suffered heavy losses, and a large number of sergeants could not resist and surrendered, and in the end, only their own guards were still desperately resisting. The grief and indignation in Shi Siming's heart was indescribable, he was defeated, but he also laughed at the cowardice of the Tang army, and he didn't dare to fight directly with his men, and he must use firearms and arrows to destroy them.

Even if he was defeated by the Tang army in this way and finally eliminated, he was not convinced, and even he felt that if the Tang army did not have powerful weapons, his troops would not necessarily be defeated.

Just now, when the Tang army was attacking the direction of the West Gate, he gave the Tang army a lot of damage, because the connected city walls were blocked, the Tang army could not rush from the direction of the city wall, and could only attack the city from two directions. The condescending bow and arrow shooting caused the rebels to pay a lot of casualties, and finally the Tang army used the remnants of dozens of "mighty general cannons", and also threw a large number of explosives and grenades with throwing speculation before attacking the city. Shi Siming believes that his failure and Dayan's failure are only because the Tang Army has such a powerful firearm, otherwise it would not have failed.

And like An Lushan, he extremely hates Yang Guozhong, the "big traitor", and Yang Xi, the "little traitor", and he will never surrender to Yang Xi, even if he fights to the last person.

Therefore, after only a few hundred people were left around him, Shi Siming still ordered the sergeants to continue to resist and not surrender.

His guards were all loyal to him, and with his orders, no one was willing to surrender, but these people were slowly killed by the Tang troops who rushed up one after another.

Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Wang Sili, Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and other generals all stood not far away, quietly watching Shi Siming lead the remnants to make senseless resistance. However, after watching it for a while, Yang Xi and the others all admired Shi Siming's bravery and unyieldingness, but no one knew that Shi Siming was just unwilling to surrender to Yang Xi, the son of the treacherous Yang Guozhong.

Finally, under the frantic rush of the Tang army, Shi Siming's personal guards were wiped out, and among the pile of corpses, only Shi Siming, who was covered in blood and holding a war knife in his hand, and his two most loyal guards.

The besieging Tang army also received Yang Xi's order at this time and stopped the attack. And slowly step back.

When the Tang army was frantically attacking, Shi Siming had been guarded by personal guards in the middle, basically not injured, and there were not many opportunities to make a move. However, the few opportunities to make a move also allowed three Tang Army sergeants to die under his sword, and two were seriously wounded.

When the attack stopped, the whole city fell silent, but the corpses and the bloody blood on the ground gave people a terrible feeling. Shi Siming and his last two guards were almost bloody, but the swords in their hands were still held horizontally, ready to continue the battle.

Shi Siming didn't throw a knife and surrendered, and his last two guards wouldn't surrender either.

Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Pang Zhong, Wang Sili and others stepped on the blood all over the ground and walked towards Shi Siming after drinking the sergeant to retreat. (To be continued......)
