It was the basic operation of the generals of the Tang Army to use the mourning soldiers to defend against the enemy, and if they didn't even know this, it would be impossible to cross the ceiling of the captain in their lives.

Since he knew that the mourning soldiers would defend against the enemy, it was definitely not strange to think of putting the remains of the Emperor Taishang on the battlefield as mourning soldiers.

It's just that when I think about it, I don't dare to really say such an idea, and I really dare to put the body of the former emperor on the battlefield...... At least Zhang Guangchao didn't have the guts himself.

This is not only because he is an outsider from Lulong Town, even if he is an old Guanlong nobleman, he will never dare.

However, he admired Pei Zhi from the bottom of his heart for daring to make such a decision. With a solid foundation, enough courage, precise decisions, and a deep foundation, coupled with the age of less than thirty, Zhang Guangchao has to admit that it may not be an exaggeration to surpass Pei Xingjian's evaluation.

Li Yan is good at scheming, Meng Qian is good at foot fighting, Pei Zhi is good at strategy, and Han Xiang is good at regular soldiers, which is spread in Chang'an

"The Four Heroes of Changying", as well as the characteristics of the four. Judging from Pei Zhi's performance, the characteristic of being good at Tao Strategy can be called refined.

Since Pei Zhi's reputation is well deserved, Zhang Guangchao believes that Pei Zhi's fame Li Yan, Meng Qian, and Han Xiang should not be in vain.

Such four young junjie turned out to be from the disciple of one person, how could Zhang Guangchao not be envious. The problem is that these four people are definitely not the only ones who have come to prominence in the Changying Army.

Mo Lingjun, who is good at cavalry and raids, already has the title of champion Hou No. 2. With his own identity, he checked the series of brilliant achievements in Jiaodong and the Central Plains under the command of Mo Lingjun, and the lightning-fast offensive, Zhang Guangchao was ashamed of himself.

Wang Zheng, a marksman, is good at harassment and raiding. A sharpshooter is enough to prove his worth, fledgling, firing sixteen arrows in a row, arrows and arrows cut off the thief's head, Zhang Guangchao felt that his back was cold.

Yu Qian and Degang are good at searching, pursuing, and hiding. In the words of all the generals of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, these two bad sour and thief smoky guys are absolutely talented in the field of scouts, and if these two guys are not their own people, then they must be killed after seeing them.

Moreover, Zhang Guangchao also heard that now the nobles, wealthy families, and high-ranking officials in Chang'an City are trying to send their heirs to Guo Rong's side, even if they can't become Guo Rong's disciples, they can become Guo Rong's personal guards, follow Guo Rong's side, and learn from Guo Rong.

If there are only the so-called four masters, Zhang Guangchao still thinks of envy, but so many talents, such crazy families, door valves, and people who take the initiative to send their children to Guo Rong's side, what they show makes Zhang Guangchao feel terrifying.

Not to mention that Guo Rong also has a close friend and ally Li Yu who has long been famous all over the world. As a former general of Lulong Town, Zhang Guangchao understood Li Yu's great sense of oppression and deterrence over the three towns of Hebei better than the generals of the imperial court.

If it weren't for such a deterrent, with the rampant nature of the three towns in Hebei, how could it be possible to go to great lengths to lure Li Yu to Liaodong.

In Chang'an City, above the court, it is the world of the main battle faction, those guys who seem to be polite and polite, when they really kill people, they can be more ferocious than the generals, these main battle factions may not have a direct connection with Guo Rong, but the tacit understanding and mutual support between the civil and military are more terrifying.

Not to mention that among these civil officials, there are also Wei Guanzhi, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi, Cheng Yi and other close friends.

In a moment, too many things flashed in Zhang Guangchao's mind, but the more things flashed, the more fear Zhang Guangchao felt in his heart, and the whole person even had a trance, until Zhang Guangchao's ears heard Zhang Yuyi's inquiring voice.

"General Zhang? General Zhang? ”

"I'm sorry~"

"General Zhang must be too tired, now that the enemy army will attack Chencang, it is a foregone conclusion that the enemy army will attack Chencang, and the responsibility of guarding Chencang can only be pinned on General Zhang, General Zhang still needs to take care of his health, as for Pei Zhi's suggestion, brother may wish to think about it again, after all, ......"

"The general is modest, after the general is Deng Guogong, he has followed the emperor for a long time, and his loyalty and courage are admired, which is really ......" is the so-called thousands of wears, sycophants are not worn, just now I found that I lost my mind because of shock and fear, this series of true or false praise more or less eased some embarrassing atmosphere.

"This, Brother Guangchao praised it falsely,......" Seeing the change in Zhang Zhiyi's expression, Zhang Guangchao felt a lot more relieved, and he also had an idea about Pei Zhi's suggestion, which was a little bold no matter how you look at it.

Pei Zhi's suggestion is a good suggestion, there is no doubt about this, and it is also true that Li Yu and Li Chun's father and son are not bad to themselves, but who dares to guarantee that there will be no problems with the remains and coffins on the battlefield!

Zhang Guangchao believes that Li Chun will not blame himself for this, but after all, this is an unforgivable sin, and being okay now does not mean that he will be okay in the future.

You must know that your role is to contain Guo Rong, not to mention whether this role can be achieved, even if it is really achieved, you will become the opposite of the forbidden army.

Li Chun will protect himself when he still needs him, but if he doesn't need it one day, then this is the sin of raiding the family and destroying the clan.

This is the case for himself, but Zhang Jieyi is different. This guy's ability is average, but no one can doubt the loyalty of the emperor, this kind of person is destined to be regarded by Li Chun as a model of loyalty.

Even if something goes wrong in the end, Li Chun will never blame Zhang Jieyi, but may praise Zhang Jieyi for loyally fulfilling the emperor's last order and helping the emperor fulfill his oath.

Between the lightning and flint, Zhang Guangchao decided that this kind of suggestion that it is possible to break the bones and scatter ashes and destroy the nine clans should not be chosen by himself, or let a person like Zhang Yiyi with strong shoulders resist, so he said directly.

"General, for Pei Zhi's suggestion, the general has already made a decision in his heart." Hearing this, Zhang Yiyi frowned, and he had a feeling that listening to the words of the king was better than a seat.

However, just when he was wondering, Zhang Guangchao's words had already followed.

"After all, the emperor's last order is to guard Chen Cang with his body, guard the Tang Dynasty, and once swore that the Son of Heaven will guard the country, and the king will die in the ,......" As Zhang Guangchao recited the emperor's quotations endlessly, Zhang Yiyi also dispelled the doubts in his heart.

With the completion of the most difficult decision, everything entered the regular rhythm, and after confirming the defense, layout, and countermeasures of Chen Cang, the two separated.

Zhang Zhiyi was a lot safer, but after bidding farewell to Zhang Zhiyi alone, Zhang Guangchao's heart was full of helplessness, and he felt a trace of remorse, if he refused Li Yu's invitation, he would stay in Lulong...... Zhang Guangchao admired Li Yu very much, and he was also very clear about the reason why Li Yu dug himself from Lulong to Chang'an, and Zhang Guangchao had also worked hard at first.

When he was ordered to command such an elite team to support Chen Cang, Zhang Guangchao was even more confident. However, at the moment when Zhang Jieyi asked himself about Pei Zhi's suggestion, the belief and confidence in Zhang Guangchao's heart were completely gone.

Guo Rong, and the forbidden army represented by Guo Rong, are not at all a force that he can touch. That night, Zhang Guangchao remembered his hometown, drank alone, and when he was drunk and hazy, he remembered his hometown, and then wrote a pen: The door is in the west of Ditang, and the pond is high and He Lianlian.

In the past, the location was advantageous, and there was no idle land near and far. Under the pollution of the water country, the rain will become a river. The seedlings are submerged, and the township is a bumper year.

The family fat is to be affectionate, and the people are happy to think about the orchestra. The sun can start to rise, rinse and watch the kitchen smoke. The wine is cold and ripe, and the fish is long and fresh.

The dusk bell has not yet sounded, and the rest has long been asleep. What is the meaning of a long city, the middle edge of the lonely hills. Pitch in color, mediocre room.

When recalling the Yan Han in the past, he knew Qi Jixian. Silence can not be done, and the pension will end in Nanshan. …………………………………………………………………………………… No one in Chencang City cared about the sorrow in Zhang Guangchao's heart, but leaving Li Yu on the city tower became the spiritual pillar of the entire Chencang City.

For the Tang people in the whole world, the Emperor Taishang has become the first emperor. However, everyone in Chen Cang City knew that the Emperor Taishang never left...... As the opponent's attack began, the originally silent west tower quickly became busy.

began to keep going in and out, and then passed on the situation everywhere, and Zhang Zhiyi quietly guarded in front of Li Chen's coffin, and gave orders at the same time.

Although the action is swift, every military academy, sergeant, and soldier who enters and leaves the city tower will try their best to maintain a sense of silence.

Wave after wave of stone bullets kept smashing on the head of Chencang City, and the smashed city wall thumped. Although it was not as dense as the previous attacks, the continuous attack in front of him still made Nima Bazar excited.

Compared with Gao Nima Bazaar, who had never seen the world, Liu Pi's face was a little more proud, after all, they were able to complete the construction of these siege equipment, including catapults, in just a few days, which was basically the credit of their Jiannan Army.

Although the craftsmen in the Jiannan army were not as good as the forbidden army opposite, they were enough to crush the Tubo people, just as the techniques of the Tubo people were so crude in their eyes.

Although they have their own ideas, although they have also prepared ladders, chariots and other equipment for climbing the city at close range, Nima Bazar and Liu Pi have the same opinion, and the small Chen Cangcheng simply cannot withstand this level of bombardment.

In order to enter the city as soon as possible, Nima Bazar and Liu Pi, who were both cooperating with each other and intriguing, were ready to attack the city and send troops to charge.

However, as time passed, under the bombardment for an entire hour, no structural damage was done to the walls except for the sound.

Obviously, the strength of the Chencang city wall exceeded Liu Pi and Nima Bazar's expectations. Before the official attack, Nima Bazar and Liu Pi made full preparations for the siege of the city in line with the principle of sharpening knives and not cutting wood, and prepared more than 100 catapults alone.

In order to continue the attack, at first Nima Bazar only placed thirty catapults in front of the city walls, and the rest were placed in the back as a backup.

However, as time went on, it seemed that the effect was not obvious enough, and Nima Bazar increased the number of catapults placed on the front line to fifty, and if there was any damage, it was immediately moved from the rear to replenish.

In order to maintain a stable intensity, the personnel in charge of the operation are also changed every half an hour, and for everything, Nima Bazar and Liu Pi have obviously made complete preparations.

The bombardment lasted from early morning to mid-afternoon, for three full hours. However, the offensive looked fierce, but it did not cause any cracks in the walls, except for smashing a lot of ash and smashing the surface of the walls.

On the contrary, under the high-intensity projection, the spare catapults of the coalition forces have been exhausted, and only thirty catapults are left on the positions of the catapults outside the city.

Looking at the only remaining catapult, and then looking at the immovable Chen Cangcheng, Nima Bazar and Liu Pi habitually glanced at each other, and saw the same embarrassment and disappointment in each other's eyes as themselves.

However, in fact, it is not that Nima Bazar and Liu Bi have not improved, it is just that the entire Tang Dynasty is constantly changing, and Chen Cang is no exception.

In fact, if it was placed half a year ago, their idea may not be realized, because the good Chencang city wall is still built of traditional rammed earth in Guanzhong, and there is a real possibility of collapse.

With the development of Fugu, starting from Guanzhong, coal has begun to replace firewood as the main fuel for civil and industrial use.

Although the road from Fugu to Chang'an has been widening, the amount of coal used in Guanzhong is getting bigger and bigger, and Fugu is too far away from Chang'an after all.

In order to meet the needs of Guanzhong and the entire Tang Dynasty, the Mineral Supervision Department was created, and its main task was to discover resources including coal, iron, copper, and silver.

Then, the prospectors of the Mineral Supervision Department discovered more than one coal mine in Chencang. Then, located in the western part of Guanzhong, in the upper reaches of Weishui, where the mountains and the Guanzhong Plain meet, the low-rise Chencang became the base for the production of ordnance and armor in the imperial court's planning.

In order to ensure the safety of this important ordnance base, the imperial court began to strengthen the city defense of Chencang from that time.

The material of reinforcement is cement - cement, which is a by-product of the accidental production of the firing glaze test of the Dunhuang Princess's Mansion.

It's just that at this stage, cement is a new thing for the entire Datang, and the yield rate is extremely low, so all the quality that is not qualified is used to strengthen the defense of Chencang City.

For more than half a year, countless kilns burned countless inferior cement, and then the Chencang city wall, which was not a special one, was thickened by six feet and raised by three feet.

Although it is of inferior quality, it can also guarantee a certain degree of sturdiness in a short period of time. Three hours of continuous bombardment failed to cause major problems on the walls, and it would be wasteful to continue to bombard them with catapults.

Learning the Tang Army to play with firepower coverage is actually just their attempt, one wave is the best, and one wave can't be taken, so just take the lives according to the conventional tactics.

With the sound of the horn and the delivery of the order, the catapult finally stopped the attack. However, the next moment, the drums beat again, and the infantry of the coalition army pushed, carried, and used various instruments to start attacking Chen Cangcheng.

Hearing the information coming from everywhere and making sure that the other party began to attack the city with ants, Zhang Jieyi just felt a little regretful, regretting that the other party didn't really hit the south wall and didn't look back.

On the first day, due to the impact of the catapult attack, there were less than three hours left for the attack.

From the next day, the offensive began early in the morning and ended at sunset. From the fifth day, the offensive began around the clock,......
