In the first month of 752 A.D., in early spring, flowers bloomed, but the Central Plains, a ruin, the impact of the war on the economy can be said to be fatal, but the Guanzhong under the rule of the Tang Dynasty is a different scene, the seedlings are strong, the people are happy, as if and the outside of the Guanxi are two worlds.

On this day, a caravan came from outside Tongguan, there were about 100 people, led by a man with a green cloth Baotou, about 30 years old, very light and swift between steps, escorting more than 100 mule carts, and went straight to Tongguan.

……

In the Chinese military tent of An Lushan, all the generals gathered, but they were all silent.

Everyone can feel the wrath of the Great "Yan" Emperor.

"Three days, I give you a three-day deadline, if you can't capture Tongguan and behead them together, have you all forgotten?"

His ring-like eyes looked over one by one.

Including Shi Siming, nearly 100 generals had already knelt under the tent, and some of them trembled one by one when they thought that they would be beheaded.

There is no way, Shi Siming did his best to attack Tongguan, but what was the use?

Tens of thousands of people and horses were lost, and the corpses were piled up under Tongguan, but Ge Shuhan was desperately holding on, he controlled the condescending terrain, and was fully prepared, three days passed in a blink of an eye, but he still couldn't attack, so he had to return to the Chinese army tent and kneel down one by one to plead guilty.

……

In Tongguan, Ge Shuhan laughed and said to the generals under him: "Shi Siming, I thought that if I intercepted a few secret letters from the emperor and the prince, I would be afraid that he would surrender, he was dreaming." Fortunately, I did not let my guard down, but strengthened the guards, so that we could win this battle, otherwise, with Shi Siming's fierce attack this time, we might lose Tongguan if we were not careful. ”

These three days of fighting to the death can make Ge Shuhan's heart shake.

He had always thought that Shi Siming was not enough to be afraid before, but this time the battle. Shi Siming actually didn't want his own life, and dozens of light martial arts masters under his tent directly attacked the Tongguan City Tower, and cooperated with the offensive of his army, if he wasn't also a master of the transformation realm, resisting the most powerful Shi Siming, and at the same time putting out a large array of water and fire to besiege Shi Siming, this guy would not retreat.

Perhaps, just like that, Tongguan will be lost.

It turned out that although the first two days of the three-day battle were fierce, Shi Siming could be said to be helpless. It wasn't until the third day that he knew that if he didn't die again, he would definitely face the catastrophe of being beheaded, so he attacked desperately.

But no matter how strong Shi Siming's martial arts are, it is of no great use, after all, he can go high and high, and he has won Tongguan with his own martial arts, and there are only about thirty people in the entire army, and nine of them have been killed when they stormed Tongguan and fell off the city wall.

The remaining 20 people, under the leadership of Shi Siming, although they can't die for a while, but look at Ge Shuhan's water and fire array, no matter how strong their martial arts are, they will definitely be besieged and killed. Shi Siming had to retreat in advance to avoid the fate of being besieged. Originally, when Shi Siming led the light master to break into the city tower, it was possible for the army of the city tower to break through in one fell swoop and occupy Tongguan by taking advantage of the situation, but Ge Shuhan in view of the situation, he had long expected that Shi Siming would have this move, and he was properly assigned in advance.

In this way, the fierce battle was unsuccessful for a day and a night, and An Lushan, who was supervising the battle in the rear, knew that it was impossible to take Tongguan in a hurry, so he ordered the troops to be collected and ordered the generals from all walks of life to gather the Chinese army tent together.

At this time, An Lushan had already received the news - Sun Xiaozhe was defeated at Taohe, and the three thousand forwards were all wiped out.

……

"Sonorous!" An Lushan suddenly pulled out his sun and moon golden knife, his face was red with blood, and pointed to the generals kneeling on the ground: "Rice buckets, you are all rice buckets!" Just a Tongguan stumped you powerful figures, ah? ”

Click! The sun and moon swords in An Lushan's hands struck each other, emitting dazzling sparks.

"However, not all generals are rice buckets, Siming, you get up, you don't want to attack Tongguan, regardless of life and death, all of you must learn from him."

"Your Majesty." Shi Siming stood up with relief. He knew that this time he was desperate, and he was right, if he didn't die, he knew that An Lushan might really want to kill himself.

At this time, An Lushan's tone softened a little: "You, you, and your ......" He pointed to the heads of some generals in the tent one by one: "You are all good, one by one, you sacrifice your life and forget to die, whether you are on the city tower or under the city tower, you are fighting desperately, but there are still some people, when you attack, you know that you are hiding behind, you know that you are bluffing, this time, you could have captured Tongguan in one fell swoop, it is because of you rice buckets, Tongguan can not be broken, all for me to die!" ”

Ahh......h

An Lushan's golden knife passed by, and a series of dying cries were heard.

Nine people!

He cut off the heads of nine generals with a single sword, and laughed: "This is the end of not obeying orders!" You have all remembered to me that when you fight in the future, if there are those who are afraid to move forward and bluff, this is the end! ”

There was a thick anger burning in his chest, and he wanted to kill all these rice buckets, but reason told him that he must not kill them all, otherwise, who would die for him in the future?

These generals, each of them, have poured a lot of his heart and soul into their bodies, how can they kill them if they say they will kill them.

Of course, to make him go against his will and finally decide not to kill these generals is to "humiliate" the majesty of his great "Yan" emperor, which is the defeat of Taohe.

The defeat of Taohe and the heavy loss of his most elite cavalry corps caused him to begin to reassess Li Heng's combat strength. He had never taken him seriously before, thinking that Lingwu could be captured at any time, but now that he looks at it, it is very different, although Li Heng now claims to have 400,000 troops is false and a rabble, but there are more than 200,000 elite soldiers, it is an indisputable fact. Now Tongguan is difficult, if Guo Ziyi leads the troops to attack Tongguan is Shi Siming, the inside and the outside should be combined, it may not be impossible to win, and when the time comes, Luoyang is not like Chang'an, there are dangers everywhere to defend, and then there is only to stick to Luoyang. But in the past few months, he has burned and robbed his own troops, and he has already hurt the hearts of the people of Luoyang, can he hold it?

Could it be that when the time comes, I will have to retreat to the north?

These thoughts quickly swirled through his mind. Although he doesn't understand culture, after all, he is a person who leads troops to fight, and these subtleties still can't escape his calculations.

Therefore, he quickly formulated a countermeasure to deal with the defeat in Tongguan, and killed a few people, otherwise, he would hurt himself.

"The rest of the people are all flat!"

"Thank you Emperor Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Only then did the ministers stand up tremblingly, and looked at the nine generals who had been killed, and their hearts were half cold—their heads were in different places, nine heads were rolling around, and blood was flowing everywhere.

These nine people are not battle-hardened generals, but before they die, they can't even see the slightest sign of resistance - An Lushan shot too fast!

Even Shi Siming's heart also rose with a strong fear, such a knife, thunderous kills him, in such a situation, he may not be able to resist.

Perhaps, with a single sword, he cut off his own head.

Why is that?

In the past, Shi Siming knew very well that An Lushan's martial arts were powerful, but he was also in the middle of the game, why is the eldest brother's martial arts improved a lot now.

With a keen intuition from the master of the Transformation Realm, he knew that he must be at a disadvantage when he was fighting with this Great Yan Emperor now, one-on-one, especially after the Tang Dynasty envoy seized his Xuantie Sword by cunning, he knew that he couldn't take a thousand moves under An Lushan's men. At this time, An Lushan was not only stronger in martial arts than him, but also stronger in weapons.

The sword on Shi Siming's body now, although it is worth 100 gold, is a rare weapon, but compared with the Xuantie Sword, it is a very different concept.

Of course he didn't know. The level of martial arts sometimes depends on momentum to win. At this time, Shi Siming, although his martial arts are in the realm, compared with Tian Qianzhen, Cai Xide, Cui Youqian, Hua Mingqing, and Tian Chenghei, they are one line higher, and they are close to the middle stage of the realm.

But it turns out that the level of martial arts is sometimes directly related to the level of momentum. For example, a literati has no power to restrain the chicken, but if he masters the army and is good at using it, he will condense into a strong murderous aura, and even the generals of the martial arts realm will feel a deep chill, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period is such a person. He can be said to have no martial arts, but he is a minister and uses soldiers like a god, which makes Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and other high-ranking officials and generals obey him.

An Lushan and Shi Siming's martial arts have always been between them, but since he ascended the throne, his momentum has completely dominated Shi Siming. Mencius said: I am good at nurturing my heroic spirit.

In debate, momentum is important, and in martial arts, momentum is still crucial, and sometimes it can make the difference between victory and defeat, life and death. This is one of the reasons why some people have very high martial arts and train hard, but when they go out to fight, they are defeated or die in people whose martial arts are obviously inferior to him, momentum.

Momentum can sometimes bring a person's martial arts to the fullest, on the contrary, the oath is frustrated, such as when the Tang Dynasty and the leader of Wasp Mountain, Huo Sheng, was defeated in the hands of the Tang Dynasty because the momentum was frustrated after the defeat was one of the important reasons.

Shi Siming's martial arts are skillful, but after all, he bows down to An Lushan every day, which causes him to suffer a serious setback in momentum.

"Siming, you are faithful to me. I put 200,000 troops in your hands, and I must capture Tongguan within three months, I don't care what method you use, in short, if the deadline is reached, within such a long time, if you can't capture Tongguan, come to me! ”

Shi Si was overjoyed, and secretly screamed in his heart: This is finally the right bet. In fact, just last night after the three-day deadline expired, he was still wondering if he wanted to escape and find a new place to live. But after thinking about it, he felt that the possibility of An Lushan killing him was extremely low. Once he leaves, it is impossible to come back, and when the time comes, he does not have enough men and horses in his hands, in this troubled world, what is the use of high martial arts, and what big lang can he afford?

He has always had a deep ambition in his heart, and he believes that maybe one day, he will also sit on the chair opposite him and respectfully receive the order: "Yes, the emperor, Weichen promises to complete the task!" ”
