It was past nine o'clock in the morning.

On the wall of Yanxingmen, in addition to the soldiers of the north and south ya, almost all the officials of the court and the central government stood on it.

Everyone's face is not good-looking, and even their legs tremble, if it is not for someone to help them, they are afraid that they will be paralyzed on the spot.

Li Jie was wearing a pair of leather armor and only a heart guard on his chest, which looked very thin.

But there was no way, his body was emaciated, and although he was more than one meter six, he didn't find a pair of iron armor that fitted.

He didn't care, for all his attention was focused on the dense, ant-like peasant army in the distance.

Yesterday, Chai Cun only brought 5,000 cavalry to show off his might for a while, and the roar of people and horses had already hit people's hearts, making his heart palpitate.

But it's completely different from what it is now.

If the 5,000 cavalry is a torrent that can break through the dike,

Then, at this time, Huang Chao with 600,000 troops poured into the nest is a monstrous tsunami!

Before the army arrived, the murderous aura that filled the space outside the city alone would make the psychologically fragile people collapse directly.

His fingers gently pinched the white fox fur of Da Yu, silently calculating the contrast between the forces of the two sides in his heart.

The Sixteen Guards were originally less than 20,000 people, but after this day and night of recruitment, the number of middle-aged athletes and martial artists in the city has also increased to more than 40,000, but they are all recruits who have never been on the battlefield, and the bravery is extremely worrying.

Qin Ruoshui and the young master of Lu Xian's family disappointed him a little, and overnight, one day and one night, they mobilized the civilian garrisons of the state capital and military towns within a radius of sixty miles from Chang'an.

I originally thought that so many state capitals and military towns could gather tens of thousands of people to increase their defensive strength.

As a result, when the envoys and defense envoys of these military towns heard the news of Huangchao's incoming in, they expressed their loyalty impassionedly, but on the other hand, they ran into several passes in the Qinling Mountains with their generals, which was called to contain the rear of Huangchao and relieve the pressure on Chang'an...

As mentioned earlier, at this time, the military system of the Tang Dynasty was basically finished because of the serious land annexation, and if it was really calculated, I am afraid that only the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya would be regarded as adhering to this tradition, and the father and son inherited it.

And the others, the Shence Army, and the soldiers under the command of the local festival are all recruited with money, and if there is milk, it is a mother.

At this time, Chang'an will be broken by Huangchao at a glance, this group of people is not stupid, where are they willing to enter the city?

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the people he sent changed from a requisitioning officer to a grain officer, and swept away the granaries of the nearby state capitals, except for a few grain teams near Huainan that were robbed by the people of Huangchao, and had been transported into the city one after another.

Qin Ruoshui's white face was slightly red, and he didn't know if it was caused by shame or freezing.

"Your Highness, in fact, in addition to the people who ran away, there are still a thousand people stationed in Mukden, but..."

"But what? Aren't they going to go into the city to help defend it? ”

Li Jie looked at the approaching enemy army, and his mood was a little irritable.

"Well, those 1,000 people are the keepers of the mausoleum, and you know whose mausoleum it is..."

Mausoleum guards?

Li Jie tapped the blue bricks on the battlements with his fingers, and thought for a long time before finding out whose tomb it was from the memory of the original owner.

The joint burial tomb of Gaozong Li Zhi and his mother-in-law Wu Zetian - Qianling!

He really doesn't have the power to mobilize these people.

And even Li Yi estimated that he would not dare to easily mobilize this thousand people.

He wanted to stop there, and a thousand people would not make a big difference.

But Qin Ruoshui's words made him change his mind.

These 1,000 people are the former envoys of the Yicheng Army, the former commander of the Zuo Qianniuwei General Kang Chengxun, who has experienced a hundred battles and participated in the suppression of the Pang Xun Uprising.

Although ten years have passed, most of these soldiers are over thirty years old, and for some reason they have not been disarmed and returned to the field, and they still retain the structure and personnel.

What Li Jie is most worried about is that although the entire Chang'an garrison is in the prime of life, because his duty is to guard Chang'an, he has no combat experience at all, and most of them are about killing....

Maybe you haven't even killed a chicken, right?

Plus those recruits who came in...

And if these 1,000 people can be transferred over, set an example, veterans lead new recruits, and the real life-and-death struggle, we can definitely train qualified soldiers in the shortest possible time.

Thinking of this, he looked back at a young man caught in the middle of the hundred officials, thinking about how to convince the little emperor.

At this moment, an arrow rushed into the sky with a piercing sound.

A group of cavalry appeared outside the gate of Yanxing Gate, and the leader was riding a blue-maned horse and holding a five-phoenix Chaoyang knife, which was Chai Cun, the forward general of the peasant army who ran to almost cut Zhang Zhifang yesterday.

Chai Cun came all the way to the smoke and dust, stopped a stone's throw away from the city, and pointed at the hundred officials on the city wall with the big knife in his hand and shouted,

"Phew! Huang Chao, the general of my family, ordered a certain person to say, you big officials of the imperial court, those who open the city and beg to surrender are not guilty, and those who resist are full of rumen! ”

Huang Chao attacked the city all the way, and the cities he passed through were basically after seeing hundreds of thousands of troops, he either opened the front door and surrendered, or fled from behind.

It can be said that in front of them, there is basically no talk of attacking the city.

The tooth soldiers of these local festival envoys were all recruited by them with a lot of money, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch was extremely weak, in order to preserve their strength, they would not be secretly stumbled by other festival envoys, and the old bottom would be consumed, and their officials would come to an end.

This is also one of the reasons why Huang Chao was able to go all the way north from Guangzhou in less than half a year, and forced Luoyang to stay and surrender so quickly and break through Tongguan.

This time is no exception, the reason why Huang Chao came to the nest is to surrender the army without a fight, and take the largest city in the entire Tang Dynasty territory without a single soldier.

Chai Cun shouted loudly, so shocked that all the officials standing in the city couldn't stop talking, and they all turned their eyes to Li Jie.

Li Jie looked at the two eyes below, how to see how the Qingyun beast was pleasing to the eye, just like the dick of later generations looking at the top supercar.

Seeing that the other party didn't take out a bow and arrow, he straightened his waist, pointed at Chai Cun and sneered,

"You barbarian thief, first killed my famous Tang Dynasty general Zhang Lin, and then defeated my Jin Wuwei general Zhang Zhifang yesterday, can you dare to fight with this king?"

Zhang Zhifang, who was standing not far away, hung his left arm on his chest with a bandage, and when he heard this, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and squinted at Li Jie,

"Don't open any pot and mention which pot!"

And Chai Cun below was stunned when he heard this.

He has already learned through some information that this prince is currently in Chang'an, and it can be said that he is in power, and the survival of Chang'an is only between this person's thoughts.

It stands to reason that such an important person can climb the city gate tower and come to the front-line battlefield is already an adventure, and yesterday he was almost killed by his own arrow, why did he dare to jump out and fight himself alone?

His eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

If this person can be killed or captured, the morale of the Tang army will inevitably fall again and again, and it is really possible to surrender the city, so wouldn't he have made the first contribution?

seems to have seen himself open a mansion in Chang'an, and the plaque of "General Zhenguo" on the door of the mansion is shining.

There are also those colleagues who usually laugh at him for relying on nepotism with Huang Chao,

"Lao Tzu relied on his ability to climb into the bed of the Huang family's lady, this general, let's sit down!"

Thinking of this, he pointed a knife at Li Jie on the city wall,

"A certain campaign has killed countless court generals so far, but has not killed any princes, you come down!"
