Chapter 6 Entering Chang'an(2/2)
But the knife was cut so soft that it was not dead. She was captured by Xue Jingxian and was in prison in Guanzhong. But she was not afraid and calmly asked who was arresting her. Soon, she died of suffocation due to her injuries and bleeding and suffocation in her throat. She was buried outside Chencang.
Xue Jingxian sent someone to inform the matter.
This lady of Guo State was also apart from Li Longji. Li Longji was sad when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Wang Hua immediately exposed the food to the sun because he was in a hurry and encountered a heavy rain on the road, which was wet. But it was better than having no food.
The five trenches gradually took shape, and there were many small longitudinal trenches between them, which could be moved to each other. These trenches were like natural trenches under the slope of the horses, and gradually everyone's hearts settled down.
On the eighth day, Wang Hua welcomed another good news, and the large troops in the rear were worried about his safety. However, the trip was too fast, and he brought a large amount of supplies, weapons, ammunition, and food. Therefore, he raised five thousand war horses in Longyou, two thousand horses as pack horses, and another three thousand war horses, with three thousand soldiers and fifty mortars, and rushed over.
This made Wang Hua feel more confident.
It was a headache. The artillery he left for the Tang Dynasty that he had become his biggest opponent today.
Two more days later, Gao Lishi, Wang Yuanmu and Liu Yang came back.
An Lushan did not expect that Li Longji was so afraid of death. After all, Chang'an City was tall and difficult to attack, but Li Longji escaped before he saw the shadow of the enemy. It was only after receiving the "repulsion" of Bian Lingcheng, a left-behind official in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty that he realized that there was no leader in Chang'an City. Therefore, it was only ten days later that Cui Gan was allowed to stay in Tongguan. Sun Xiaozhe led his troops into Chang'an and appointed Zhang Tongru as Xijing, and Cui Guangyuan as Jingzhao Yin. These two were Tang Dynasty officials, but Cui Guang's head and rat ended, but Zhang Tongru had completely fallen.
Not only Zhang Tongru, but also Zhang brothers and Chen Xilie and others, An Lushan was appointed as prime minister. Then he captured court officials, eunuchs and palace maids. Whenever hundreds of people were caught, he sent troops to Luoyang. He killed all the princes and generals who followed Li Longji to take refuge but his family was still in Chang'an, including infants. Under both grace and threat, all the officials left behind were subdued. For a moment, the rebels were in great strength, threatening Longzhou and Fengzhou in the west, and invading the Jiangnan and Han River basins to the south, and capturing half of Hedong Road to the north.
However, at this time, Sun Xiaozhe's army had not yet entered Chang'an.
But the situation in Chang'an City is very bad. Fortunately, Cui Guangyuan maintained order, otherwise it would be even more chaotic.
In this chaotic atmosphere, it is so difficult to find two people, especially Wang Wei, who is just a small job.
After searching for a few days, they finally found the two of them. But Gao Lishi saw a group of princes and grandchildren very pitiful. There were so many. Although he secretly entered the capital, he still reported the news that the emperor had received strong help from Mazaipo. If he wanted to survive, he would immediately escape to Mazaipo.
The news spread very quickly because Gao Lishi's vocation was very secret. He originally wanted to find Bian Lingcheng to bring out the artillery, but later he heard that Bian Lingcheng rebelled and did not dare to ask for it. He found the person and left immediately. The ministers were either believe or doubtful. Some had accepted the fake post and stayed, while others did not believe it, but there were many ministers and people, as well as princes and grandsons, who fled to the West together.
When I arrived at Mazaipo, I realized that the weather had changed.
But Wang Hua has already been controlled by all. In order to keep it secret, even the people are controlled behind Mazaipo.
But there are still too many people coming, and the food is in tension again.
It was noisy until the end of the month.
Sun Xiaozhe finally heard about this. He arrived in Chang'an and was blinded by the prosperity of Chang'an and the wealth of the palace. He was only concerned about robbing. Even Li Longji's disciples of the Pear Garden, musical instruments and dance clothes were sent to Luoyang. The rest of the soldiers thought they were successful, and they only cared about their feelings and sex, drinking and having fun day and night.
So the precious time was dragged by day by day, and they were all unaware of it.
When Sun Xiaozhe heard that Li Longji was still staying on Mazaipo and refused to leave, he didn't believe it. He had such courage, so why should he let go of Chang'an and escape?
But I heard more news, so I sent a scout to investigate. Sure enough, I really stayed in Mazaopo and asked how many troops there were. I also answered truthfully that there were not enough ten thousand people.
Sun Xiaozhe was a little confused. If there were 100,000 people, perhaps Li Longji would dare to fight on the sidelines, and thousands of people would dare to stay on the Mazai Slope and not leave?
I asked the scouts to inquire again. The result was that I heard that more and more fleeing people gathered on Mazaopo. In addition to Li Longji, there were countless disciples of the royal family, generals, prime ministers and kings.
While sending someone to report to An Lushan, Sun Xiaozhe sent his general An Fu to lead 5,000 elite soldiers and bring fifty cannons to Mazaopo.
So the battle was delayed until the tenth day of July before the curtain was officially kicked off.
Although the rebels thought they were successful and began to be arrogant, the military discipline was still there. When they arrived at the Mazai Slope, An Fu looked at it with a telescope. He found that the number of Tang troops was indeed not very large, but they were just hiding behind the trench. He began to line up, dragged the cannons out, and opened fire at the trench.
In fact, the range of the gun is now close to 400 meters, which is no less effective than the cannon. What is really threatening is the week-class artillery currently researched in Oceania, with a range of more than 4,000 meters, and even the largest cannon in the Xia class has reached nearly 2,000 meters. This kind of artillery named after the dynasty has become the prototype of postmodern artillery.
This time, hundreds of doors were brought here, but because they were heavy, they were still in the back and it was still a while before they could reach the Mazai Slope.
Seeing the cannons coming, the soldiers did not fire under Wang Hua's command, but because of the trench covering it, the losses were not large.
An Fu frowned and felt a little trouble, but he didn't take it to heart.
Since the artillery attack was ineffective, save shells. He didn't believe that after he got the artillery, Oceania continued to provide shells for them. This was reserved for siege. So he ordered an attack. First, use the shield army in front, then put the long bow hands behind. Without cavalry, these five trench cavalry would not play a role.
Step by step, the long bow was like rain, but the other party was lying in the trench without showing his head, so he had no choice. So he waved the order flag and the army strode forward. At this moment, one by one, one tube-like object stretched out, and the sound of densely fried broad beans sounded.
The rebels immediately fell down in rows, and the speed was so fast that they exceeded An Fu's reaction.
Immediately afterwards, dull sounds came out, and then sparks flew out of the trench and landed in his own position, and smoke and dust rose again, and even the turf was lifted into the sky. This time, the shooting almost covered the entire rebel position.
Then, an army of about a thousand people came out from the dense forest behind, with the strange weapon still in their hands. They seized all the retreats for the rebels to flee east.
The battle ended very quickly, and no one missed the net, and all were annihilated on Mazaopo.
He was also very angry with Wang Hua. He did not stay and all shot dead.
However, Wang Hua was very dissatisfied. He did not expect that the rebels were so rampant. He knew that Li Longji was here, but only sent five thousand troops to him. He only used one of the prepared trenches.
Li Heng was humming at first, but after standing on the top of the slope to watch the battle, his legs were terrified and he didn't dare to say a word.
Li Mi was also sad. The Tang royal family had officially announced their withdrawal from history since this war. Unless Wang Hua made serious strategic mistakes, it could be taken advantage of by the Tang royal family. However, thinking about Wang Hua's previous military use, this possibility is even smaller than the chance of losing gold bricks in the world.
But in Chang'an, Sun Xiaozhe thought An Fu was able to send troops and was able to capture them easily, so he didn't pay any attention.
Somehow, An Lushan refused to go west and stayed in Luoyang and never went to Chang'an. Therefore, the fighter plane was moving towards Wang Hua step by step.
In Chang'an City, after obeying An Lushan's orders, Princess Huo, Princess, Princess, Princess Concubine, and others who had not had time to escape, were killed in Chongrenfang and sacrificed to An Qingzong. All Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi's followers and An Lushan's usual hatred were killed. However, because Gao Lishi informed him, the number of people died was a little less than in history, with a total of fifty-nine people. They even used iron hoops to lift the head cover, and blood flowed all over the street, and the bitter sounds spread several miles away.
However, this news is a good thing for Wang Hua. After hearing this, the angry princes on the Mazai Slope were all at peace. No matter what, Wang Hua gave them a way out and continued to let them enjoy wealth and glory. It is tens of thousands of times better than this method of death.
Moreover, Wang Hua did not even kill Li Chongjun, which allowed him to have a good end in Oceania. Besides, these people have no hatred or hatred for him. On the contrary, because he married several women from the Li clan as his wife, he still had a layer of uninterrupted relationship.
Seeing the rebels so violently, officials from Tongzhou, Huazhou and Shangzhou surrendered one after another, but the rebels were also even more intense.
It was only then that Sun Xiaozhe heard the news that An Fu's entire army was wiped out.
He was a little disbelief, so he sent a scout to inquire, but this time there was no such good thing.
When it comes to using scouts, Wang Hua is the founder. Even Zhang Shougui learned the ability to use scouts, let alone An Lushan, who learned military knowledge from Zhang Shougui.
The enemies that the Oceanian army fought may not be as powerful as the rebels, but the terrain is ten or a hundred times more complex than here, with tropical rainforests, boundless deserts, bitter and cold lands, and deep mountains and swamps. Moreover, the weapons in their hands are far better than those of the rebels.
The scouts were sent out, but they didn't come back one by one.
Finally, Sun Xiaozhe began to suspicion. This situation was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Reported to An Lushan immediately, but this incident changed again.
If An Lushan came to Chang'an and went west with the trend. Wang Hua did not take action, then the Tang Dynasty would end. But he stayed in Luoyang without any intention of making progress and was blocked at Mazaopo. So he followed An Lushan and rebelled Tongluo and Turkic chief Ashina to join forces to lead 5,000 cavalry, steal 2,000 stable horses and fled to the Jiashuofang, and joined forces with other Hu people to occupy the border areas of the Tang Dynasty.
The two people fled immediately, and the chaos in Chang'an was in chaos. Officials fled and hid, and the prisoners in the prison also fled on their own. Cui Guangyuan thought the rebels were going to retreat, so he sent someone to guard Sun Xiaozhe's residence, preparing to make a great contribution and submit to the court again.
While reporting the matter to An Lushan, Sun Xiaozhe fought back. Cui Guangyuan realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment and immediately led more than ten officials to flee to Mazaopo with Chang'an County Magistrate Su Zhen.
At this time, August is coming.
Wang Hua's vanguard troops arrived at Mazaipo. After hearing the news of Cui Guangyuan, he immediately said, "It's time."
Although the rebels' tyranny made him unable to bear it. Without such comparisons, the people might also think that he was a rebel and rebel. He had no psychological barriers to raise his knife and chop the rebels, and even the royal family members. However, if he raised his knife, he would not be able to deal with the innocent people.
On the tenth day of August, Wang Hua placed Li Longji and his royal disciples under house arrest. These people could not be released, otherwise it would be very troublesome for generals from all over the country to pull the tiger skins to make big banners.
Then lead a large army and attack Chang'an.
