    In early April of the second year of Chenghe in the Tang Dynasty, the final battle of the Persian annihilation war began. The start of this battle meant many things, such as the beginning of a large number of losses to the rebel army.  On the real battlefield, there is no place for a rabble. An army that does not understand military formations, mutual cooperation, and coordination of arms is a rabble. No matter how large the rabble is, it cannot be an opponent of an elite army. An elite army knows how to obtain military power at the lowest cost.  The biggest benefit, but the mob only knows to swarm together and either die together or live together.  Therefore, the battlefield was cruel. Before the Tang army arrived at the Persian Imperial City, the rebel army had basically assembled. The furious rebels looked at the shameless government troops threatening them with Issam's life, telling them not to do so.  Attacking the Imperial City, Issam laughed loudly and told the rebels not to pay attention to him and must attack the imperial city. Then Issam struggled desperately, seemingly regardless of his own life. What happened next was unknown to the rebels.  I know, because in a rage, the siege began, and whether Issam was dead or alive has been ignored on the chaotic battlefield.  The siege battle began amidst this chaos, and the first line of defense of the imperial city was destroyed. Issam could no longer be relied upon to limit the movements of the rebels, so the imperial city defenders were forced to start a counterattack.  Conduct a defensive battle, and since ancient times, the losses of the defending side will be less than the losses of the attacking side. If the attacking side does not have six times more troops than the defending side, they cannot attack the city hastily. The consequences of the siege  It would be very miserable, but the rebels obviously didn't know this principle. They came all the way, and people took the initiative to open the city and surrender, but they never captured the city.  So the result is obvious, it¡¯s just the first day of siege.  The chaos within the rebel army and the weaknesses of basically zero military quality were clearly exposed. The rebel army suffered an unprecedented defeat. Corpses beaten by bows and arrows and rolling logs and stones were everywhere, but they did not even climb the city wall.  Several weak rebel armies were wiped out, and several powerful rebel armies also suffered serious blows.  The leaders of the rebel army were heartbroken, and they finally realized how important their previous victory was.  But the other party only has this city, and Issam doesn¡¯t know whether he will live or die. If there are so many people here and they can¡¯t even take this city, wouldn¡¯t it be too shameful?  How are you going to hang out in the future?  How can you raise your head in front of others?  Obviously, no one can accept this kind of humiliation, and the leaders of the rebel army are naturally unwilling to accept it, so what should we do?  Someone said, there are many of us.  They have few people, so let's fight. Sooner or later we can break in!  They thought about it and thought it was true. There were at least 500,000 to 600,000 people surrounding them here, and how many officers and soldiers were there?  There are only so many people, can the five of us fighting against them not be able to fight against them?  If that is not enough, we will summon all the people of Persia to deal with them.  Take care of that damn emperor, it¡¯s just a city anyway.  One person can drown it with a mouthful of spit. There is strength in numbers, so willful!  Ever since, a more willful siege began.  ¡°Perhaps even the old generals in the city have not thought that there is no need for siege weapons, and there are no such things as ladders and wells.  They actually used their flesh and blood to fight against the majestic city. This was a rhythm that was destined to be turned into meat pies, so it was no surprise that all these rebel soldiers who fought bravely were turned into meat pies and their blood flowed like rivers.  Corpses strewn across the fields were no longer enough to describe the horror of this war. Three days later, the old general began to have headaches over the lack of weapons to defend the city and how to deal with so many corpses outside the city.  Weapons for defending the city, such as arrows, may be made up for by trees and dismantling wooden buildings. The arrows shot in by the rebel army can be used for a second time. As for iron, then step up the forging.  All iron items have been confiscated and turned into military supplies. Private possession is not allowed. As for food, there is no need to worry about drinking water. These are all preserved, and the only thing that needs to be worried about is so many corpses. If they are disposed of  If it is not started to rot in time, it may lead to a terrible famine.  With so many corpses, where can the defenders in the city dispose of them?  So is it necessary for the old general to send out men to tell the rebels that they need to dispose of the corpses quickly, lest a plague breaks out and we all end up together?  The climate here is relatively dry and cold, and it is not so easy to rot. However, the experienced generals who have been in battle for a long time understand the horror of the plague that occurs after the corpse. Naturally, the Tang army also understands this very well, so,  The bloody spies of the Zongheng Department hidden deep within the rebel army began to take action.  After the leaders of the rebel army, who did not understand these things at all, heard such rumors, they were so frightened that they quickly began to order the disposal of the corpses. Those who could be buried would be buried, and those who could not be buried could only be burned. They couldn't keep them anyway, that's it.  It was at this time that they realized how serious and disastrous the losses were. In just three days,Although so many people died and so many people lost their lives, the rebel army once again suffered huge losses and failed to breach the city.  Without ladders and wells, what¡¯s the point of this kind of attack?  The city gate had been ordered to be blocked long ago. They were unable to destroy the gate and enter the city. They could not use the tricks Suning had used, and they had no raw materials to use.  Therefore, before the Tang army arrived, these rebels staggered step by step despite heavy losses, and actually learned how to attack the city. Cloud ladders appeared, and rolling logs that hit the city gates were born.  Relying on the rules of experience they had summarized themselves, they actually scaled the city wall for the first time and inflicted heavy casualties on the city's defenders for the first time, although the price they paid was even heavier.  The higher the city, the more difficult it is to attack, and the soldiers who climb the ladder to attack have to take greater risks. There is no other reason. Let alone fear of heights, who can complete such a long distance safely?  If a bad person is seen by others, someone will knock off the top of the ladder. Not only one person will die, but also not one person will be climbing on the ladder. In addition, the quality of the ladder is lacking, so the rebels  Losing troops and generals, tens of thousands were killed in one day.  The loss ratio was horrific, but they had to accept it. They surrounded the city.  The officers and soldiers were not allowed any chance to break out, but it seemed that the officers and soldiers did not intend to break out. They just defended the city and had no other ideas. This made the rebels somewhat depressed, compared to the inexperienced siege battle.  They are better at field battles where they can fight more with less, and they prefer to do so, which has a greater winning rate.  Of course, although the leaders of the rebel army mobilized troops and horses to attack the city every day, the excessive casualty rate was really unacceptable to them. We are all human beings, with emotions and desires, and we all eat whole grains. Who is willing to kill all his troops?  Light.  And then wait for others to enjoy the fruits of victory?  No one is stupid, and those who can become the leader of a rebel army are not ordinary people, so no matter who they are, they are not willing to stupidly let their own people die, let themselves lose their strength, and indirectly achieve success for others.  So after an initial period of rapid attack, their attack actually stopped, leaving only the siege.  No more attacks, no one wants to be taken advantage of.  So no one wanted to be taken advantage of, so no one attacked the city. The direct consequence of no one attacking the city was that small-scale frictions began among the rebels, and they gradually tended to expand.  The old general couldn¡¯t help laughing after learning about it, saying that these people were indeed a mob.  It is precisely because of these rabble that we have a chance to win. This general expected it to be true. These so-called rebels really did not attack because they wanted to preserve their strength, because of Issam's relationship.  They are arguing with each other again, so there is friction. Sure enough, they are just a mob. After a while, these people will definitely break out into a large-scale civil war. Hahahaha, we have a chance, we have a chance, God will not destroy our country!  The development of events in the next few days indeed followed the old general's guess. The mob outside the city began to attack each other on a large scale, and the civil strife began. The defenders on the city hid in the city and watched the exciting real-person battle with a smile.  , seemed particularly happy, laughing and cheering continuously, feeling happy that these people were killing each other. They were worthy of being a rabble, and they were totally shabby. The temporary success could not cover up the humbleness of these short-sighted people!  While things are getting more and more dramatic in the Persian Imperial City, Suning's investigation into the assassination of His Majesty Li Er has also made progress. The main concern is that the suspicions of the servants with families in the palace have basically been ruled out. They have been determined not to be suspected of committing the crime.  Yes, the entry and exit records of the recent period also show that no one left the Su Mansion at night, and the servants who left the Su Mansion during the day also had legitimate reasons. Judging from the time, they are all reasonable.  With their respective families in Chang'an City or surrounding counties, there was no reason to hate the Su family and the emperor.  Obviously, the servants are not suspicious, at least those who have families are not suspicious. As for those very few servants who have no parents or whose hometowns are far away, there are also people who specially go to investigate, at least to confirm their hometowns.  Origin, as long as a person has no ghosts in his heart, he will not tell lies or make up his hometown to arouse suspicion. From this point, you can also try to exclude some people and discover some suspicions.  Of course, this will take time. Suning believes that Xiao Xiazi can do it, and he will definitely be able to do it.  As for another person whom he absolutely trusts, Suning also has high hopes for Cui Xiaoyi, hoping that Cui Xiaoyi can also find out some things so that he can be more stable. There are constant rumors in Chang'an City these days, and there is no clear news of punishment from the court, but  It seems that some people really want to see Suning stumble over this matter, and Li Chengqian seems to be under a lot of pressure. Although the Supreme Emperor Li Shimin publicly announced that this matter was caused by a despicable, shameless and daring villain??, it has nothing to do with the emperor, but it seems unconvincing to say this at this time.  After all, how can one speak clearly about this kind of thing?  There are 10,000 Hamlets in the eyes of 10,000 people. Suning no longer cares about rumors, and such rumors have no substantial harm to Suning. They can only make Suning know more clearly who wants to make him unlucky.  , who is the person who wants to make him suffer? In the past, if they did not stand up, Suning would not know, but now that they stand up, Suning will know.  Of course, Suning also has its own bottom line. At this time, it doesn't matter how you say yourself, but you can't talk about the emperor, you can't talk about the ongoing war, the war that the Tang Dynasty just launched with an army of 150,000  You can't talk nonsense, this is a national policy, a long-established national policy, a century-old national policy line that has been determined long ago, and it is unshakable. If anyone wants to shake the national policy, Suning will fight them at all costs.  The battlefield in the Western Regions is raging with flames, and the battlefield in Chang'an City seems to be filled with smoke. Although they cannot be seen or touched, everyone can clearly feel the helplessness and sorrow they are in. There are two wars, one external, and one war.  Internally, it seems that no matter what time, there are always so many centrifugal forces within Datang. Although Suning understands that they must exist, he still feels very unhappy.  ¡°Then you can only kill a batch of them when they appear, that¡¯s all (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
