Chapter Fifty-Seven: Is This What Li Jie Left Behind After His Death?

The prestige of the Tang army was in full swing, and King Shou was dead, and most of the granaries in the city were burned, which was already a fatal blow to the opponent in Huang Chao's opinion.

In this way, the results achieved by the loss of nearly 50,000 troops are already extremely significant.

He wanted to take advantage of the low morale of the entire Tang Army and the high morale of his own side to persuade him to surrender again, after all, the other side basically had little strength to fight again.

But when he gradually approached the city wall, he was still taken aback when he saw that the Tang army in the city was wearing white silk on their heads, dozens of white flags were erected at the head of the city, and everyone was in a sense of slaughter.

"According to the report, this Shouwang only received the military power half a month ago, and there was no sign of being close to the north and south in the past, how could it become like this?"

The two armies fought to win their commanders, which naturally could greatly damage the morale of the army, and often had the effect of defeating the whole army.

But there is also a special case in the art of war, that is, the main general has great prestige in the army, which can make everyone swear to the death, and the army of mourning soldiers cannot be taken!

If a person really abandons everything and is not even afraid of death, then such combat power is extremely terrifying.

Huang Chao stood silently on the car, but he had no idea for a while.

He couldn't say the words of persuasion that he had been slapping all the time.

This is tantamount to pouring another bucket of oil on the anger that the other party has already ignited, which is absolutely counterproductive.

At this time, the city wall changed again, and a young man wearing golden armor and holding a golden horse lance in his hand walked to the battlements surrounded by many military generals.

"It's the old thief of the Yellow Nest? You continue to assassinate the Chinese Wu of the DPRK with dirty tricks, and you actually killed Li Jie, the beloved brother of Shu, last night, which is very good! ”

Li Yi also had a white silk tied to his left arm, and the horse lance in his hand pointed directly at Huang Chao's building car.

"Is this the current son Li Yi?"

Li Yi suddenly stood on the top of the city regardless of the danger, not only did Huang Chao look carefully for a long time, but the eyes of the soldiers under him were even brighter, revealing extremely curious eyes.

"It turns out that the Tang Emperor is so young, I thought he was a white-bearded old man!"

"Is his armor made of gold, how much gold is used for this!"

"It's really majestic, no wonder King Huang also thinks..."

"Sitting on the world's money and land, what is it to build a golden armor, if we become emperors, the crotch cloth will be made of gold!"

"Haha, brother, you're not afraid that the little brother will have an opinion!"

For a while, the people of Huangchao were talking, after all, the word emperor was too far away for these peasants who used to dig stones in the soil, and now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were extremely curious.

"Silence!"

Huang Chao shouted, then turned his head to look at Li Yi and gave a salute,

"Your Majesty, the two armies are fighting, and the right strategy has been a common method used by soldiers since ancient times.

Although he now calls himself the Yellow King, and his banner is similar to the "Qingjun side", now he has hit the feet of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, but he never admits that he is a thief.

Therefore, even if I disdain it in my heart, I have done a lot of etiquette.

And when Li Yi heard that Huang Chao was coming to break through Tongguan, he was so frightened that he almost cried on the spot, but then Li Jie's continuous amazing actions gradually regained his original heart as an emperor, and now he looks at Huang Chao with great contempt.

"Clever tongue!"

Li Yi snorted coldly, picked up the large iron horn left by Li Jie, and shouted to all the soldiers in the city: "The yellow thief thinks that killing my seventh brother will move the heart of fighting to the death, do you think? ”

"No, we are deeply favored by His Majesty and King Shou, and we will defend Chang'an to the death and avenge Your Highness!"

There was an earth-shattering shout over the city wall, and all the soldiers waved their weapons and flags in their hands, and their faces showed a look of determination, as if they had to express their determination through shouting.

Li Jie said again:

"Very good, King Shou is still martyred in order to protect the people in Chang'an City, but my brother is still there, from today on, I will sit in the city tower, eat and live with you, and live and die with Chang'an!"

"We are willing to eat and live with Your Majesty, and live and die with Chang'an!"

"The four seas are the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years;

Rong Yi is not even more missing, today is a success, looking back at Qin Sai as low as a horse, and gradually see the Yellow River flowing straight north..."

Suddenly, someone sang the Tang Dynasty war song of "King Qin's Breaking Array Music",

Li Yi waved the horse lance in his hand and sang along with an excited expression.

"Tianwei rolls up the jade door stopper, and the Hu people are all singing for thousands of miles!

The four seas are surrounded by the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Rong Yi is not even more weary, and it will be successful today.

The Lord is holy and opens, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; After you look at the Yange, it is the Taiping Autumn! ”

Huang Chao stared at Li Yi without saying a word, his face was cloudy, and he was reluctant to give the order to attack the city.

Meng Kai, who was standing beside him, was extremely decisive, and waved the black flag in his hand.

"Generals and brothers, don't be frightened by the words of this little emperor, now that Chang'an's grain and grass have been destroyed, they are at the end of the crossbow, the order of the Yellow King will not be changed, after the city is broken, three days of looting, drumming!"

He knew that if the two armies fought bravely, his morale would be extremely high, and if Huang Chao retreated without a fight, it would definitely be a taboo on the battlefield, and it would even affect the morale in the future.

Zhang Guiba was still carrying the three-pole recognition flag on his back, and his horse swept in front of the formation.

"Huang Wangling, three days after the city was broken, looted three days later, the gold and jade of Chang'an full of cities were taken by Ren Er!"

...

With this burst of encouragement, the thieves who were originally a little shocked by the Tang Army immediately threw it behind, and their minds were full of Chang'an City, which was full of gold.

"Rush, Feng Hou worships the general, the beauty and money are right in front of you!"

"Roar!"

Dozens of stone throwers began to fill the stones, the ladder was pushed to the front of the formation again, and nearly 10,000 bows and crossbows pointed at the head of Chang'an City, just waiting for Huang Chao's order.

Seeing this, Huang Chao suddenly laughed "haha".

What mourning soldier will win?

Bullshit!

In front of the powerful and beautiful, everything is just floating clouds.

He took his black flag and waved it vigorously.

"This king is true to his word, and the nest wishes to be rich and noble!"

"Xie Huang Wang reward!"

As the banner of the Yellow Nest fell, hundreds of thousands of troops wrapped in various siege equipment, like wolves, rolled up the dust, and swept in an instant!

The stone thrower continued to scatter countless stones of different sizes over the city wall, and hundreds of Qianniu guards in the city held heavy iron shields more than two meters high to firmly protect where Li Yi was.

A dense curtain of trees was erected on the city, blocking the strength of the falling rocks, but there were still people who were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, screaming miserably.

It was the first time that Li Yi had really seen the enemy attacking the city, and his mind was inevitably taken away by this extremely shocking scene.

This is the natural reaction of anyone who is new to the battlefield, and Li Jie, who has watched many film and television dramas about siege warfare, was so excited that he almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

A quarter of an hour later, the pre-battle trivia of the stone thrower stopped attacking, and the thief's archers raised their crossbows again, ready to start the next round of backfire.

Although this kind of upward shooting abandons some of the power of the arrows, it can avoid the range of the condescending Tang army archers in the city, and there is not much danger in comfort.

But Li Yi put aside the iron shield beside him, looked at these archers from afar, and silently calculated the distance in his heart, and waved the ochre yellow dragon flag representing the Son of Heaven.

"King Wei's crossbow prepares!"

Behind the battlements, nearly a thousand gods bent down together, and when they got up again, each of them came with a crossbow in his hand that was new to everyone.

This crossbow bow is three feet three feet long, and the string length is two feet five, and it is made of tough mountain mulberry wood as the crossbow arm, and solid sandalwood wood as the crossbow body, hemp as the string, light and strong.

Moreover, its arrow box and buckle mechanism are made of stainless steel, which is extremely durable.

After a flurry of winding sounds, the tips of the triangular armor-piercing arrows pointed at the thief crossbowmen who were three hundred paces away.

Huang Chao and the others were far away, and they couldn't see what the other party was holding at all, but after thinking that Tang Jun might be repeating the old trick and playing the trick of interfering with the line of sight with smoke and WU bullets, he didn't take it too seriously.

"This can't be the strange thing left over from Li Jie's death, right? But at such a distance, I'm afraid it's those things that are not enough to be exposed to the left and the right! ”

After all, the so-called one-arrow land is only one hundred and twenty steps at most, and only a bulky bed crossbow can break through this limit.

Almost at the same time, both sides gave the order to shoot arrows, and then a brief but amusing image appeared in the sky outside the city of Chang'an.

The arrow on Huang Chao's side made a beautiful arc and soared into the sky, and then quickly fell.

However, the arrow path of the Tang army formed a straight line from top to bottom, heading straight for the thieves and archers under the city.

If someone were standing in the middle of the battlefield at this time, they would notice that two arrows with different directions formed a bow shape.

The Tang army is the bowstring, and the thief army is the bowarm!

Since the arrows were fired at the same time, this sign is very clear who was the first to hit the arrow.

"A direct shot one hundred and eighty steps away, without Li Jie, these Tang troops are really in chaos!"

This idea only stayed in the minds of Huang Chao and the others for less than half a second, and reality slapped them in the face...
