- No prisoners were taken in this battle. Before the night attack was launched, Wang Xun had already issued an extremely cruel order to the entire army. In the entire Anxi army, no one had the courage to disobey.
He wanted to use the blood of his supporters to break the morale of the rebels inside and outside Chang'an City. Let the rebel soldiers be frightened when they hear his name Wang Xun, and let the rebel soldiers take the initiative to retreat when they see the banner of the Anxi Army.
Indeed, at the moment he does not have enough troops, and there is nothing he can do about Chang'an, a fortified city that has stood for hundreds of years. However, he can completely turn the area around Chang'an into a forbidden area. The rebels in the city will not be able to get out, and they will no longer be able to cause any harm to surrounding states and counties. It also prevented reinforcements from other areas from entering, and could not provide any effective support to Sun Xiaozhe.
Indeed, he was besieging the city to call for reinforcements. He didn't even want to besiege the city. He clearly told others that he wanted to use Chang'an City as bait to intercept and kill all the enemy's reinforcements. Unless military leaders like Cui Qianyou and Shi Siming abandon their own foundations and raise their entire army to help Sun Xiaozhe. Otherwise, if one unit is sent, one of the Anxi Army will be wiped out; if two units are sent, one pair of Anxi Army will be wiped out.
Until the rebels in the city could not bear the pressure and torture, they abandoned the city and fled for their lives.
This plan continues the consistent style of the young Anxi Army since its establishment, which is bold, crazy, and incredible on the surface. However, if you look into the details, there are mysteries everywhere. According to a secret report sent from Chang'an City, An Lushan was seriously ill. The entire country of Dayan, both at home and abroad, is now in a very confused and manic state. An Lushan himself started out as a rebel and was wild and untamable. He promoted effective subordinates and minions, and was also extremely ambitious and unruly. While the tiger in An Lushan could still pounce and bite, Shi Siming, An Qingxu, Cui Qianyou, Cai Xide and other powerful generals with heavy troops did not dare to act rashly. Once the tiger An Lushan falls completely, the wolves under his command will immediately show their cold teeth to each other for the power position vacated by An Lushan.
Therefore, at this moment, any veteran general under An Lushan who holds a heavy army does not dare to waste too much energy and strength on Sun Xiaozhe. Not only did they have to guard against counterattacks by Tang generals such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, but they also had to guard against interference from other forces in the same camp. And they couldn't completely abandon Chang'an City. After all, this was the former capital of the Tang Dynasty and a symbol of the world's destiny. Once lost, it means that the offensive and defensive momentum between Datang and Dayan is completely reversed. The losing side will be completely abandoned by the sky and may fall apart at any time.
In this way, Chang'an City and the fifty miles surrounding it became a huge whetstone. The team sent by Dayan State to reinforce Sun Xiaozhe would run the risk of being chopped into pieces by the Anxi Army as soon as they entered this area. The Anxi Army took advantage of the opportunity that no rebel army dared to attack in full force, and wiped out the enemy forces that appeared near Chang'an one by one. Use their heads and corpses to sharpen the sword in your hand.
There is only one way to break this tactic. That is, the reinforcements and Sun Xiaozhe can coordinate carefully and work together. The party that came to support rushed toward the city of Chang'an at all costs along the road from Tongguan to Chang'an. The defenders in the city used all their strength to provide support for the army. However, this tactic also runs the risk of Anxi's army taking the opportunity to seize the city. If something goes wrong, there is not even the slightest chance of recovery.
Sun Xiaozhe did not dare to take this risk unless it was absolutely necessary. Unless he was defeated cleanly by the Anxi Army several times outside Chang'an City, no leader of the rebel army would believe that Wang Xun could not leave them even a single opening to enter the city. At least, Cui Yunqi didn't believe this tonight. Therefore, even though he guessed Wang Xun's true intention, and even though he tried his best not to jump into the trap set by Wang Xun, he still could not escape the fate of the entire army being annihilated.
Besieging a city and calling for reinforcements is not just a way of fighting. Traps are not immobile either. The horses brought back from both sides of Yaochashui provided the Anxi Army with sufficient long-distance attack capabilities. Once it is activated, it is like lightning, leaving no room for the other party to cover their ears.
The giant dragon composed of blood and fire continues to rush into the depths of the camp. Wherever he passed, corpses were everywhere, as if the portal to hell had opened. The bull-headed and horse-faced devils led a group of imps, constantly pulling the souls and lives facing the door inward. On both sides of the road leading to hell, those rebel soldiers who were trampled but not trampled to death rolled, struggled, and screamed, each sound more desolate and more desperate.
Even a murderous guy like Ashelanda felt like he was going crazy at this moment. A feeling of joy suddenly surged in his heart, and he was glad that he wisely chose to surrender instead of becoming an enemy of the Hammer King. The Hammer King back then was still immature, and there was still a softness in his heart. Today's King of Hammers, his heart has been grinded cold and hard by the cruel fate, and he no longer retains any compassion that belongs to young people.
Several people are nakedThe stupid rebels ran past Asilanda's horse like a headless fly. He urged his mount and trampled one over from behind. Then he waved his machete and made a long gash on the other person's back, and blood was spread all over the floor. The third rebel soldier has not yet fully grown up, and his courage is still in the midst of a rout. Hearing the screams from behind, he was so frightened that he turned around, knelt down towards Asilanda's mount, held his hands on the ground, and kowtowed.
¡°Where¡¯s Ruohutula, Nataya, and brother Ize¡¡± While kowtowing, the naked little deserter cried and begged for his life. He spoke the language of the Shiwei people, which was very similar to the language of the Tuqishi people. Ashelanda understood what he meant, and the scimitar she held high obviously paused. At this moment, the little deserter suddenly raised his arm and stabbed a broken wooden spear into the neck of Asilanda's horse.
The poor war horse didn't even have time to cry out in sorrow. It tilted its body and threw Asilanda under the saddle. The little deserter laughed ferociously, rushed towards her crazily, pulled out the broken spear from the horse's body, and poked Ashelanda directly in the eye. None of the surrounding tribal warriors expected this change, and wanted to ride their horses over for fear of trampling their own king. He wanted to dismount and fight but couldn't get rid of the stirrup. For a moment, no one had time to come to his rescue. He watched Asiranda rolling in a pool of blood, constantly dodging the spear tips that were getting closer and closer.
"How dare you, thief!" Just when Ashelanda was about to lose her soul, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears. The commander of Huya Camp, Wanqi Yuxue, swooped down from mid-air like a goshawk and swept across with his long sword, slashing the crazy enemy soldiers and sending them flying backwards.
Angry and ashamed, Ashelanda jumped up, grabbed a scimitar and chopped at the soldier's body. Wan Qiyu Xie stretched out his hand and slapped him, and then shouted loudly: "Okay, the man is already dead. It's useless if you chop him into mincemeat! Why are you so careless? You almost died with a naked butt." Guy¡¯s hand?!¡±
Silanda put away the bloody scimitar, her face flushed. This was the only time in his life when he was soft-hearted, but it almost cost him his life. He didn't know how to explain his mistake to Wanqi Yuxie.
"Hurry up, don't let the brothers see the joke!" Wanqi Yuxie was very considerate. Seeing Axilanda's embarrassed expression, she stopped asking further questions. He turned around and found his mount, jumped up, and continued to rush towards the place where the rebels were with Axilanda. He said loudly: "There must be a reason for what the general ordered you to do. You and I just follow it. Yeah, don¡¯t think too much!¡±
"General" Ashelanda repeated hoarsely, swallowing the words that had already reached her lips. The general is no longer the general he used to be, and he is not the Asilanda he used to be. Even the savior, Wan Qi Yu Xie, is not the same Wan Qi Yu Xie as before. Everyone has been involved in the torrent of fate. Even if they return to the Yaocha River in the future, they may never be themselves again.
With the help of the Huya Camp swordsmen led by Wanqi Yuxue, Axilanda and others' attacks became more and more sharp. One tent after another was set on fire by them with torches, and the rebel soldiers one after another were turned into powder under the cross swords and iron hoofs. The rebels deep in the enemy camp used the time gained by their brothers on the outside in exchange for their lives, and hastily organized several attack teams. Axilanda led the tribal warriors and rushed forward, smashing these teams into pieces. Wanqi Yuxie led a group of Huya Camp heroes to go around from the side and hacked to death the guy who looked like an officer first. The rest of the broken troops were driven under the horses of Asilanda and others like sheep.
With the skillful cooperation of the two teams, the defeated troops were killed one after another. Wanqi Yuxie and Axilanda once again reorganized their formation and moved forward together. Suddenly, several rows of feather arrows flew down from mid-air, shooting down several tribal warriors who could not escape from their mounts. Immediately afterwards, dozens more spears flew into the air, their cold blades pointed directly at everyone's chests.
"He's an expert!" Wanqi Yuxiao turned sideways to avoid the flying spear that was about to stab his chest, reached out to grab the handle of the spear, and then threw it back with all his strength. He heard a shrill scream and then spotted the sneak attacker. About two hundred rebels, under the command of a general wearing Mingguang armor, blocked the Tang army's cavalry with cold arrows and thrown spears, while covering each other and retreating.
"Kill the officials!" Ashelanda was holding back a breath of bad breath that could not be spread. When she saw this scene, she immediately rode her horse and rushed away. Although the small formation temporarily organized by the rebel generals was neat and tidy, it could not withstand the large number of tribal warriors under Asilanda's command. After knocking over a dozen war horses, Axilanda quickly broke through the gap.
"Datang!" The rebel general who organized a defensive array roared out of habit, raised his spear, and rushed towards Axilanda on foot. Ashlanda was startled by the opponent's shouts and did not dare to respond. He turned his mount and retreated to the flank of his own team. "Datang!" "Datang!" the rebel general shouted a few more times, hot on the heels of Asilanda. Wan Qi Yu Xie flew down from the horse and once again rescued Asilanda, raising her swordPush away the opponent's attack.
This time, it was the rebel general's turn to be stunned. I saw him using his long spear to resist Wanqi Yuxue's attack, while shouting loudly, "You, why are you? How come you are with the Anxi Army."
"Yang Xiwen?!" Wanqi Yuxie's offensive slowed down and he asked with a frown. "Are you Yang Xiwen? Is it really you?!"
The two stopped their weapons almost at the same time and looked at each other with wide eyes. Seeing this, Asilanda knew there must be a reason. He quietly gestured and ordered his subordinates to move their mounts a few steps away, and formed a small circle with Wanqi Yuxie and Yang Xiwen as the core.
"That's right, it's Yang!" Yang Xiwen blushed and nodded at Wan Qi Yu Xie with a sad smile. "I didn't expect the two of us to meet here again!"
Wan Qi Yu Xie smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say. Back then, Yang Xiwen served in the Longwu Army and was one of the people Wang and his son tried their best to win over. And Wanqi Yuxie, who possesses unique skills, was once trained as a confidant by the Wang family and his son. However, Wan Qi Yu Xie later realized that Wang Zhi and his son's plans were too big, so he fled Chang'an on the pretext that he was defeated by Lei Wanchun and had no face to face his boss. However, Yang Xiwen was too utilitarian and was implicated by the Wangs and his sons. From then on, he had no hope of promotion until he met Fang Guan and Fang Dadai and became the latter's confidant
No one expected that when they met again, one of the two old acquaintances would become a minion of the rebels, and the other would become a fierce general of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty. In an instant, all kinds of feelings surged through each other's hearts.
After being foolish for a while in front of the old acquaintance, Wanqi Yuxie came to his senses first, waved the horizontal sword in his hand, and persuaded with a smile: "You put down your weapons and surrender? Brother, I can still speak in front of Wang Duhu, I will definitely I can save your life!¡±
"You" Yang Xiwen looked at the other person with a sad smile. Wanqi Yuxie was wearing the uniform of a fourth-grade military general and should have a certain status in the Anxi Army, but he no longer had the face to be demoted again. "Forget it, Yang has already surrendered once. I'm not in the mood, either. I have no energy! Thank you"
After saying that, he fiercely grabbed the long tree and threw it at Wanqi Yuxiao, "Datang¡ª¡ª"
Wan Qi Yu Xie quickly stepped back half a step, and then quickly avoided half a step. Finally, gritting his teeth, he raised the knife and slashed it down against the pole. Yang Xiwen grinned, suddenly let go of the stick, and faced the direction of the blade with his chest.
"Poof!" The red light flew, and the horizontal knife struck more than half a foot from the shoulder, splitting Yang Xiwen's chest and armor into two pieces. The corpse swayed with the blade between it, swayed, took a few steps, and fell down.
Wan Qi Yu Xie shook his head and sighed, picked up the body of his old acquaintance from the pool of blood, and slowly placed it in a tent that had not yet been set on fire. Then he grabbed several other tents and piled them into a pile of cloth around the body. Immediately, he grabbed a torch, lit it and threw it into the tent.
"Canopy!" The flames soared into the sky, illuminating his red eyes. to share
