Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1667 The end is coming
"The rebels are retreating!"

At midnight, the artillery that had been blasting for a long time had already stopped, and the scouts responsible for observing the enemy's situation passed the news to Pei Xingjian's flagship.

Pei Xingjian lay down in his clothes, got up immediately and went to the bow of the boat, looking at the dark Songping County, asked: "Have you confirmed it?"

"It has been confirmed that the traitors began to retreat at [-]:[-] pm, and it has just begun."

"Log in now!"

Pei Xingjian made a prompt decision.

"Here!"

The scouts got the order, and immediately raised the flaming lanterns of World War I on the flagship, and the scouts on the mast quickly waved the lanterns and made a semaphore.In an instant, dozens of warships parked on the river all hung up their lanterns, responded with semaphore, and then slowly approached the shore.

A long gangplank sticks out from the deck. The draft of a sharp-bottomed ship is too deep to land directly on the shore. Therefore, the front section of the gangplank directly presents a slope into the shallow river. Countless soldiers stepped on the gangplank into the waist-high boat. In the river, dense crowds ran towards the river bank.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the long river bank seems to have countless crabs rushing to the river beach...

By the time Pei Xingjian got off the boat and landed, the soldiers in front had already climbed over the crumbling city wall and entered Songping County.

Pei Xingjian frowned, the reaction of the rebels was somewhat beyond his expectations, he thought that since these people claimed to restore the Wanchun Kingdom, they would not give up Songping County so soon, because that would mean losing the most complex and affluent city in Annan, From then on, he will wander in the southern barren land.

From both sides of the Red River to the Hengshan Mountains, the land in between is flat, even if there are mountains, they are low hills, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there is no place to defend...

Pei Xingjian did not send troops to surround Songping County in advance, lest the rebels see that they could not escape, they would smash the cans and smash the boat, and push the entire Songping County into the flames of war.Now that the traitor is so decisive, he has earned a living...

Walking quickly along a gap in the collapsed city wall and entering the city, he heard the shouts of killing Zhentian from the south of the city. The next group of dead soldiers stopped us, and the last general has sent troops to pursue with all his strength."

Pei Xingjian nodded, his eyes flickering: "Then Li Zhuangzhi is really a character. With such a foundation, he will abandon it as soon as he says it. He does not hesitate at all. He is courageous. You personally lead the troops to pursue along the way, but don't underestimate the enemy and rush forward. This is Annan after all. , The rebels are familiar with the terrain of mountains and rivers, so don't be careless. Someone stayed here to appease the people, this place is the center of Annan, so don't mess it up."

"Here!"

Liu Rengui strode away, yelling repeatedly, and led his soldiers to pursue south.

The rebels in the city were quickly wiped out. Pei Xingjian personally sat in the town and ordered the soldiers to beat the gongs on every street to reassure the people in the city. The rebels have already fled the city and can live and work in peace and contentment. .

After hearing this, the common people were relieved and went out to wait and see. They saw groups of well-armed Tang troops patrolling in neat steps on the street, and they all praised it.

Can live a good life, who is willing to toss around with the traitor?
The notice shot into the city during the day played a big role. Knowing that the rebels wanted to coerce the people of the city and force the Tang army to throw rats and dare not attack the city, they naturally hated it to the bone, and there were endless voices of abuse.Thinking that Tang Jun possessed the "Thunder God's Weapon" but only bombarded the city wall, and never bombarded an inch of the city, everyone knew that only Tang Jun valued everyone's life and property...

Otherwise, the "Thunder God's Tool" that is powerful enough to break mountains and crack rocks will bombard it one after another, and the whole city will be reduced to dust in an instant. How can it be threatened by traitors?

This is Master Wang!
Most of the people in the city were Han Chinese, so they were naturally very close to the Tang army. At this moment, they were moved by the fact that the Tang army did not storm the city in consideration of the overall situation, and offered food and drinks to reward the soldiers.

The so-called "tan food pot pulp" is nothing more than that...

The common people have no demands, they only want a stable regime and a peaceful society, so that everyone can live and work in peace and enjoy prosperity. The grand plans and hegemony are the business of the nobles. Who wants to ruin the peaceful and happy days of the big guys because of some people's ambitions?

Now the Tang Dynasty is full of beautiful flowers in the country and invincible in the outside world. This is the best way of life!

rebel?

free you...

*****
The bright moon is in the sky, and the mountains are foggy.

There was no wind at night, and in the dense forest on the top of the mountain, the leaves and grass stems were all wet and crystal clear by the dew, and wisps of mist floated like a dream.

A rush of horseshoes sounded far away, which was very clear in the silent night.

"Hoohoo!"

The rebels hidden in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road woke up one after another, each nervously clenched their weapons...

Tang Jun is here?

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not Tang Jun!"

The scouts in charge of the night watch repeatedly comforted them. The sound of hooves obviously came from the northern mountain road, and it was impossible for Tang Jun to bypass Hengshan Pass and appear behind him.

Only then did the rebels in the dense forest relax, and when they were awakened in their sleep, they found that they had a false alarm. Naturally, they complained...

"Stop! Who?"

The scout hidden in the forest suddenly jumped out and stopped the knight who was going straight up the mountain.

"Herod!"

The knight hastily reined in the reins, stopped after slowing down, and said loudly: "Where is the young master? I am here to deliver the order by the order of the master!"

From this title, one knew that he was a servant of Li Zhuangzhi's family.

The scout went forward to check the token, and then took the knight for a trot along the mountain road, and found Li Xuancheng who had just woken up and was still angry...

Li Wuqing was also awakened, and trotted over to check the situation, of course there was unavoidable flattery in it.

Li Xuancheng rubbed his eyes, and said angrily: "If it's not an urgent matter, be careful that this young master cuts off your head! Damn it, disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night, it's really not a thing!"

The knight galloped for a day and a night, and his whole body was about to collapse. Standing on the ground, he could kneel down at any time. Hearing what Li Xuancheng said, he almost cried. Temper?

"My lord, at noon the day before yesterday, the Tang army sailed up the river and went straight to Songping County, bombarded the city wall, and the city wall collapsed in many places, so the owner had to lead his soldiers back into the city. Marching to the south in a hurry, order the young master to immediately lead the army down the mountain to meet up and discuss big plans together!"

Li Xuancheng's mind was still in a daze, and he couldn't believe it: "You mean... Songping County fell?"

The knight who reported the message said: "Yes."

Li Xuancheng's eyes widened: "Just one day? Didn't you keep it all day?"

"Yes."

Li Xuancheng was dumbfounded: "Doesn't this mean...not only is there no hope of restoring the country, but even going into exile?"

knight:"……"

There is no way to answer this question, no matter how you answer it, it is wrong.

Li Wuqing at the side felt as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt!
What's going on here?

I thought I had earned a bright road for the tribe, and from then on I could be on an equal footing with the Han people, and generations of tribesmen would regard me as the sage and sage who led the tribe to glory... This battle has not yet been fought, and suddenly Are you going to become a tribal sinner?

He knows the virtues of the Han people too well. These people in front of him are all descendants of the Han people. They have the blood of the Han people. If they throw away their weapons and turn around and surrender, they can probably survive. But the indigenous monkeys in the eyes of the Han people dare to rebel Datang, what will happen to him can be imagined.

It is impossible to kill the whole family, but it is very possible to kill half of them...

Li Wuqing almost cried, why is life so hard?
Seeing Li Xuancheng's distraught appearance, the knight hurriedly urged: "Young Master, don't delay! The Patriarch has an order, ordering you to go down the mountain to meet him. It is very likely that Hengshan Pass has been monitored by the Tang army. If you stay a little longer, you will be able to join him." A Danger!"

Li Xuancheng shuddered, and lost his voice: "Is there danger?"

Didn't you come here to ambush Tang Jun?

How could he be in danger all of a sudden?
"Hurry up, hurry up, order the soldiers to get up quickly, don't sleep, if you sleep again, you will lose your head! Go down the mountain, let's go down the mountain!"

Li Xuancheng hurriedly gave orders, the whole forest rustled and the leaves trembled, and the soldiers who had been ambushing for a day and night came out in a panic, but no one complained now, everyone knew that Songping County had fallen, and heard that Hengshan Pass is probably not safe. They came to ambush the Tang army, but it is very likely that they have already been ambushed by the Tang army. How dare they wait longer?
When Li Xuancheng gave an order, tens of thousands of people ran down the mountain road...

Li Wuqing is also lost. At this time, it is impossible to go back and surrender to the Tang army. He can only follow the rebels all the way to the dark. He has already greeted Li Zhuangzhi's ancestors for eight generations in his heart. When you said that you were arrogant when you rebelled, So impatient right now?
Not daring to hesitate, he followed Li Xuancheng down the mountain with his own indigenous people.

When the army was about to run away, Li Wanshan yawned and led his soldiers to form a team on the mountain road.

"Young master, we have to hurry up, what if we are ambushed by Tang Jun?"

Seeing that no one else was there, the soldiers under his command were very anxious.

Li Wanshan glared at him, and shouted: "Why panic? Follow this young master, can you let you die in vain? Hmph, don't worry, everything is under the control of this young master! Running fast may not be enough." If you can escape, sometimes whoever runs faster will be reincarnated first..."

Seeing the ignorant look of his subordinates, he couldn't explain it at the moment, but ordered in high spirits: "Everyone keep the queue for me, no matter what the situation is, you have to obey my orders, don't panic, let alone run, offenders , Kill Unforgiven!"

The soldiers under your command responded feebly, just thinking about running, Songping County has fallen, how can you hold on?

Li Wanshan didn't bother to talk much, run away?
Hehe, once they get down the mountain, you will know what kind of horrible ending will be waiting for them...

On the north side of Hengshan Mountain is an endless wilderness, where the sand and gravel are all over the barren land, which is not suitable for the growth of rice, but it is a natural pasture.

Under the night under the stars, a group of dark cavalry was waiting in formation, Xiao Sha's evil spirit permeated the whole land...
