Li Guiren's solo escape put Zhang Tongru and Sun Xiaozhe in a desperate situation, and the two of them were all exhausted foot soldiers, how could they resist Li Siye's attack.

In order to survive, they could only follow Li Guiren's example, abandon the car and leave a battalion of troops to resist the break, and the Zhonglang general, who was ordered to be in danger, knelt on one knee, and his words were sincere and choked in his throat: "Zhang Liushou, General Sun, humbly received the great favor of the two generals, how dare you not repay each other with death, as long as there is still one person alive in the Zhongwu Battalion, it will definitely not let the Hexi Army advance half a step!" ”

"Okay, please get up, I will return to Fanyang, and I will definitely take care of the general's family."

After Sun Xiaozhe arranged to replace the dead ghosts, he immediately urged the soldiers to go on the road. Who knew that this Zhonglang general turned around and surrendered directly to Li Siye.

"The sin will see the king of Xiliang County, I am willing to take the credit as the leader of the county king, and take a shortcut to encircle the rebels!"

Li Siye nodded, and instructed the generals beside him: "Change him a horse and lead the way to pursue Zhang Tongru." Duan Xiushi, you led the Han Navy back to Lantian County to intercept and outflank the rebels. ”

……

Not long after Sun Xiaozhe led his troops into the Lantian County area, the team exploring the road in front quickly turned back, and the team was kneeling on one knee and panicked: "General, it's not good!" Li Siye's Han navy was already blocking the front. ”

At this time, another detective came to report and knelt on one knee: "General Sun! Li Siye's Flying Tiger Rider had already outflanked Lantian from three sides. ”

"What!" Sun Xiaozhe suddenly beat his chest and wailed: "What! Dog's day, the bastard raised by the son of a bitch has defected to the enemy! Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough! ”

Zhang Tongru also sighed loudly: "Are you and I going to die here today!" ”

He suddenly turned his head again and asked, "What is this place?" ”

A general stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Zhang stays behind, this is Bashang in Lantian County, also known as Bailuyuan, the terrain here is slightly higher and can be defended." ”

He slowly sat down on the ground in a decadent manner, and said helplessly: "Now that the soldiers are tired and can no longer fight, how can they hold on?" ”

The general replied: "There is a high ground in the northwest, which is the commanding height of the Paoli Plain on the White Deer Plain, and there are slopes and ravines washed out by rain on all sides, and the cavalry is at a disadvantage when attacking from the back, as long as the defense is done properly, he will not be able to attack it with thousands of troops and horses." ”

Sun Xiaozhe hurriedly added on the side: "Yes, yes, hurry up to the high ground to form a formation!" ”

The rebel army of 15,000 people retreated to the Cannon Plain to form a four-sided phalanx, surrounding Sun Xiaozhe's several carts of belongings and female dependents in the center. At this time, the north wind was bleak, and most of the rebel soldiers were thinly clothed and shivering in the cold wind.

Li Siye and Zang Xiye led the Flying Tiger Cavalry to encircle this high ground on three sides, and Duan Xiushi led the Han Navy to surround the north, but they were not in a hurry to attack, and only waited at the bottom of the slope.

……

Sun Xiaozhe got into the thick plate ink car driven by two horses, and there were three or four colorful women sitting in it, and when they saw Sun Evil Ghost entering, they all shrank and hid in the back compartment, only one woman from the clan looked down at the carriage board, as if she was indifferent.

Sun Evil Ghost spat and scolded: "Give Lao Tzu a stop!" You come with you and take off your clothes! ”

Moments later......

Sun Xiaozhe put on his clothes again, tied his robe and pinched the chin of one of the women and said, "This may be the last time in my life, what Lao Tzu can't take away, and he can't leave it to Tang Jun!" Don't look at me like that, do you think I'll survive if I don't kill you? As a woman of the clan, your innocence is tarnished by me, a traitor, and it insults the majesty of the Li Tang Dynasty, even if you return to Chang'an alive, you will end up with death. ”

He took out the quenched short knife from his arms, gently pressed it against the woman's skin, and sneered: "I really can't help it." ”

Moments later, Sun Xiaozhe climbed out of the carriage and rubbed the blood on his feet with the soles of his feet.

At this time, three generals came to him, all of them were so cold that their lips were blue, and they knelt on the ground and said with their hands crossed: "General Sun, the soldiers are hungry and cold, and seven people have been frozen to death in the cold wind last night, and now most of them can't even hold knives and guns steadily, and please General Sun have mercy on us, and think of a separate way for everyone to survive." ”

Sun Xiaozhe raised his triangular eyes and was darkly frightened, and the three generals took half a step back in fear, and then he asked with a relaxed smile: "Have you asked Zhang Tongru?" ”

"We've already asked, Zhang Liushou said he didn't dare to be self-conscious, let us ask you."

"Oh, that's right," he rubbed his fingers against the black mustache at the corner of his mouth, and asked the leader who took the lead, "Do you say that you have surrendered to the other way to live?" ”

The general didn't hear the yin and yang weirdness in his words, and bowed his head and crossed his hands: "Now that there is no point in resisting, it is better to surrender first, and the life left is long-term in the body." ”

"You have a point. But ......" Sun Xiaozhe suddenly stepped forward, gritted his teeth fiercely and held the short blade into the general's chest, this sharp blade was made of something, and it could easily cut off the armor.

The general covered his chest and widened his eyes, the green tendons on his forehead gradually blackened, and he slowly fell to the ground.

The other two hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, saying, "We are confused, we should die!" General Sun spares his life! ”

Sun Xiaozhe wiped the blood stains of the dagger on his cuffs, and said coldly: "Go down and bring good soldiers, whoever dares to mention surrender in the future will be your fate." ”

……

Li Siye, who surrounded the rebels on the plain, was not helpless, the enemy was already the eighth king in the urn, and it was up to him whether it was braised or fried, and he couldn't hurt the soldiers for this last feast.

He had already sent people to mobilize Yan Xiaosi's artillery battalion that was staying near the Bahe River, but because the Xuanwu cannon was too heavy, it seriously slowed down the speed of the march. Yan Xiaosi then sent more than 20 small Xuanwu cannons over. The small basalt cannon is light and easy to move, and can be easily towed by a horse with only one wheel.

In the afternoon, the more than 20 guns were pulled to the cannon field and placed under the gently sloping earthen plateau, and the range of 800 meters allowed them to easily throw the shells onto the high ground.

He ordered people to shout at the bottom of the hillside, urging the rebels to surrender quickly, and after shouting three times, it was considered a final warning.

"It's useless to shout, so let's bombard."

Li Siye directly ordered the small Xuanwu cannon to aim at the high ground, and the muzzle of the cannon sprayed out white smoke in this winter day, and then exploded thick smoke on the high ground, and sometimes the screams of the rebels could be heard one after another. After five volleys of artillery, Li Siye immediately ordered two battalions of the infantry corps to test the attack, but the rebels still had some resistance, and the Tang army quickly withdrew.

Soon the sun rose and the moon set, the stars rose into the sky, the sky changed from light blue to pitch black, and due to the cold wind raging the clouds and mist, only a few lone stars flickered, like the embers of a bonfire about to be frozen out in the cold night.

Sun Xiaozhe was lying in the carriage of the ink car, sitting on his right and holding two or three female corpses that were already cold, and he was able to snore and dream.

The perverted gloom in the army has changed color, but when they are cornered, there are still people who are willing to volunteer. Two generals approached the carriage with six soldiers, one of whom stepped on the wheels with a big stick in his hand, squatted at the entrance of the carriage and struck a few sticks in the direction of the sound.

Who knew that this person was too panicked and frightened, he didn't hit the first few sticks, and the last stick hit Sun Xiaozhe's shoulder. The Sun evil ghost jumped up with a scream, slammed forward without thinking, and rushed out of the carriage with this person in his arms and fell to the ground.

The soldiers hurriedly rushed up to hold Sun Xiaozhe down, and tied him with hemp rope to tie him up strongly. The generals simply didn't do anything, and tied up Zhang Tongru who was sleeping.

In the early morning, as soon as the sky dawned, the rebels threw their flags and blades down from the high ground, and the two rebels walked downhill with Zhang Tongru and Sun Xiaozhe, who were tied up as zongzi, to surrender in person.

"We have long heard that the king of Xiliang County loves soldiers like sons, and is sympathetic to his subordinates, and today we are willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the king of the county, and we hereby offer these two thieves to show our sincerity."

"Very good, you two can serve under my account, and you will definitely be reused in the future."

The two of them stood up and stood sideways, and ordered the soldiers to escort Zhang and Sun in front of Li Siye's horse.

Li Siye stared at the two and smiled coldly: "You two are both cronies of the traitor An Lushan, and now that you have been captured by me, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Tongru stood tall and said proudly: "Emperor Shengwu dares to act, he is a generation of saints. And you are just a lackey of the Tang Court, how can you compare to Emperor Shengwu? ”

Tian Zhen, who was beside Li Siye, was furious, lifted the Mo knife in his hand, and just waited for Li Siye to give the order to split him in half. Siye waved his hand but smiled without saying a word, and looked at Sun Xiaozhe.

Sun Xiaozhe knelt on the ground with a thud, and knocked his head to the ground five or six times in a row before he raised his face and said: "The dog thief An Lushan is just a dead dry bone, how can you be the king of Xiliang County, you are like the sky, the king of the county, you will calm the world, and establish the merit of eternal admiration, and the thief will also be awarded the head and your sword." The humble general is not talented, he is willing to dedicate the treasure in the car to the king of the county, and he is willing to lead the way for the army to attack Luoyang, and I know all the treasures of the thief. If the king of the county does not give up, he is willing to worship you as his father. ”

The former arrogance on his face disappeared, and he was replaced with a servile appearance, kneeling up and kneeling in front of Li Siye's horse, and actually raised his head to kiss Li Siye's Liuhe boots, which was the most humble gift that the Hu people exercised to the noble.

The two generals who surrendered were taken aback, they couldn't imagine that Zhang Tongru, who seemed to be a weak scholar, straightened his spine and refused to surrender, but Sun Xiaozhe, who was usually fierce and domineering, knelt so thoroughly.
