Tiantang Splendid

4229--Andrew
Even though Cheng Chubi's troops did not retreat in the deadly battle, they were completely defeated without even being able to resist for half an hour under the superiority of troops commanded by Yu Chigong himself and the impact of more than ten thousand elite soldiers with superior combat power. , Crushed and captured in groups, even the main general Cheng Chubi was defeated and captured.

Armed with the power of a great victory, the guards of the Right Marquis rushed to the camp of Bisuo's troops and rushed upstream for a certain distance. With the help of boats and wooden rafts coming from Tongguan, they quickly crossed the Guangtong Canal and went straight to the rear of Li Siwen's troops on the opposite bank. .

And at this time, Li Siwen was about to return to the camp, and the scouts also passed on the news of Cheng Chubi's defeat...

Li Siwen suppressed the panic in his heart. He knew that since Yu Chigong personally commanded the troops to launch the surprise attack this time, the purpose was definitely not just to destroy their two partial divisions. Once they were allowed to drive straight to Chang'an, the situation would change drastically.

Not only did he lose his camp, but he should also bear the serious crime of leaving his post without authorization.

I scolded all eighteen generations of Yuchi Gong's ancestors in my heart, when do you think you can't make a surprise attack, it must be when I just left the camp to go to Cheng Chubi's side?
He knew that he was driven to a dead end and had no choice but to fight to the death.

Immediately braved the rain to command the soldiers to line up, while resisting the rain of arrows from the enemy on the river, while arranging Juma and Luzhai in front of the formation.

After the chaos at the back, and knowing that Yu Chigong actually took a detour to cross the Guangtong Canal, it suddenly dawned on Yu Chigong that he would not give him a way out...

The escape route is cut off, what else can be said?

The only fear in his heart was firmly suppressed, and he hurriedly dispatched troops to change the front formation to the back formation, and the rear formation to the front formation, trying to block Yu Chigong's surprise attack.But it is easy to change the army formation, so how can those Juma and Luzhai easily be moved to the rear for defense?

When the entire army was in turmoil, Yu Chigong had already led his Qing cavalry to charge...

Li Siwen also became ruthless, and shouted: "We bear the emperor's order. Even if we are buried here, we must stop the rebels. We must not flee and surrender. Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

He was also considered brave, leading his own soldiers to charge forward at the head of the horse. Under his encouragement, the whole army faced the enemy cavalry charge without any fear, and went forward one after another, fighting to the death.

But still the same sentence, the victory or defeat of a war is not just a determination to die. When the enemy's strength is strong enough and the tactics are absolutely correct, any courage is in vain...

The light cavalry of the Youhouwei rushed into the formation, and the formation was scattered and chaotic. The head and tail could not look at each other, and the left and right could not respond. The arrows on the river rained down on the two wings. The whole army quickly collapsed, and the defeat was only in an instant.

When Li Siwen swung his knife and knocked an enemy soldier in front of him to the ground, he saw countless enemy soldiers rushing up to surround him like a tide, and the troops behind him had been interspersed and cut into several broken formations, just waiting to be crushed one by one. Encircling and annihilating, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, threw the horizontal road to the ground, and said loudly: "Don't make unnecessary resistance, surrender quickly!"

Let the enemy rush up and drag him off the horse, fall into the muddy water, and hold him down firmly.

Seeing that he was captured, the soldiers on the left and right dismounted and surrendered. I don't know who shouted "Li Siwen has surrendered." Equipment, squat down with your head in your arms.

Morale is invisible and qualityless, but it does exist. It is extremely difficult to condense it, but it is easy to vent it...

……

In the heavy rain, the victorious You Houwei did not have too much delay, leaving a group of soldiers to collect the prisoners and treat the wounded. The rest of the troops assembled and reorganized on the spot, and then set off one after another, stepping on the muddy road, and rushed towards Chang'an and go.

Yu Chigong took a bamboo hat and put it on his head, rode to the captured Li Siwen, and looked down from a height.

Although Li Siwen was pressed in the muddy water, he still tried his best to raise his head, looked at Yu Chigong on the horseback, and said with a playful smile, "Since they all surrendered, they probably won't be beheaded, right? Anyway, my nephew also called you uncle. "

Yu Chigong's expression was as usual, and he said indifferently: "You and I are masters, now that the victory and defeat have been divided, shouldn't you kill me? Many of the boys under my command died at your hands."

Li Siwen's complexion changed, and he forced a smile and said: "It is said that each is the master, but in fact it is not a family? Your Majesty and King Jin are brothers, and I am your nephew. Since the victory and defeat have been divided, why bother about it."

He believed that Yu Chigong would not kill him. After all, his father was still in a neutral attitude until now. If his father was furious and supported Li Chengqian with all his strength because of his death, how could Li Zhi have the slightest chance?

However, it was a matter of life and death, and he dared not be very sure.

After all, since the army was defeated, his own life and death depended on Yu Chigong's thoughts, what if this black-faced god lost his mind and went crazy?
So he could only bear the humiliation with humiliation, and had to show a nonchalant expression on his face, begging for mercy with a nonchalant attitude.

After all, I don't dare to say a half word of cruelty at this moment, and I have to smile apologetically. I really have no integrity...

"Ho!"

Yu Chigong sneered, did not dismount, and continued to look down at Li Siwen, who was pressed into the muddy water, with a slightly disappointed expression on his face, shook his head, and said calmly: "Since you know I won't kill you, why don't you just pretend Be tougher, so that you can flaunt the integrity of seeing death as home in the future? After all, you still have no idea in your heart, and you are afraid of death, so you dare not gamble my thoughts with your own head. Tsk tsk, it seems that you are in the face of life and death Talking and laughing happily, but actually as timid as a mouse, not only has you lost your father's prestige, but also not as many as others."

Li Siwen trembled all over, his face was stiff, he opened his mouth to speak, but he held back his mouth, and under Yuchi Gong's burning gaze, he couldn't help but lower his head.

Those words above are nothing more than that, what's the point of being ridiculed by someone like Yu Chigong?Just stay alive.But the latter sentence pierced into his heart like a thorn.

His father, Li Ji, was not only No. 1 in the military, but also the head of ministers and ministers. Both military and government were "No. 1 in the world".

He himself has always looked down on his well-behaved elder brother, thinking that he could not inherit his father's power just because he was born a concubine, and he was unwilling.But what I have done today, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the reputation of "greedy for life and afraid of death". Not only did it fail to honor the family, but it also discredited the lintel.

And the sentence "Not as many as others" is undoubtedly comparing him with Cheng Chubi. Obviously, after Cheng Chubi was defeated, he was either captured or killed, but he never had a single inch of weakness, life and death. In front of him, he was as firm as a rock.

And myself...

From now on, when we see Cheng Chubi again, how can we have the face to call them brothers and be close?
A wave of remorse grew and spread in his heart. If he had been tougher just now, perhaps the situation would have been completely different.

Seeing him bow his head, Yu Chigong waved his hands and said: "Send someone to escort you back to Tongguan, so I can take care of you, don't wait too long."

"Here!"

The soldiers pulled the dejected Li Siwen out of the muddy water, tied his hands with ropes, and escorted him to a distant place.

Yu Chigong glanced at Li Siwen's back, then turned his horse's head around, whipped the horse, and shouted loudly: "Follow me to attack Chang'an, one battle will determine the world!"

"Attack Chang'an!"

"One battle will determine the world!"

Numerous soldiers surrounded Yu Chigong, braving the pouring rain and galloping towards Chang'an, their morale was like a rainbow.

The soaring water of the Guangtong Canal is rolling and galloping, and countless boats, sampans, and even wooden platoons carrying soldiers and equipment are moving upstream under the combined force of wooden paddles and trackers.

Bingfeng pointed directly at Chang'an.

*****
The night is low and the rain is pouring. The majestic and majestic Chang'an City is peaceful and quiet under the rain curtain. The lights everywhere bloom a halo of yellow and blurred in the wind and rain. The flag on the city wall is wet by the rain and hangs down against the flagpole. On the alley, groups of soldiers wearing helmets and armor were patrolling and wandering, and the sound of the watchmen's clappers was inexplicably melodious in the rain.

Hibiscus Garden, the residence of Queen Seondeok.

The lanterns hanging from the four corners of the embroidery building sway slightly in the wind and rain, and there are blurred reflections on the bluestone floor wet by the rain. Tick, drip, drip.

Just like the rhythm in the building at this time...

After a long time, there was a soft moan that became more melodious obviously due to depression.

The rain stopped inside the building, but the rain outside the building did not stop.

On the dark bed, a white carcass trembled for a long time before it calmed down slowly. The slender arms supported the bed and raised its upper body. It groped for the fire folder at the head of the bed, pulled off the cover and took a breath, a cluster of flames ignited. , Lighted the candle by the bedside.

The orange candlelight illuminates the surroundings, casting a halo on the fair skin, making it more hazy and soft...

Handing a cup of warm water to Fang Jun beside him, his black hair was scattered on his white and clean back, his waist was like a bundle, and his soft voice was slightly hoarse: "Jin Famin has arrived in Chang'an with 'Hwarang' for a long time, why is it so late? Haven't seen you mobilized late?"

Fang Jun drank the warm water in his cup in one gulp, put the cup on the bedside, raised his hand to stroke Her Majesty's slender waist, but was patted off by the Queen because she was ticklish...

He was not annoyed, he rested his hands on the back of his head, calmed down the breath after the intense exercise, and said casually: "I have other arrangements for Jin Famin's 'Hwarang', so I told him not to worry, keep it hidden, and don't let others find out. But Speaking of it, I would rather worry about it than I would ever use it."

The current situation in Chang'an is not as calm as it seems on the surface. Although Li Chengqian has successfully ascended the throne, and Li Zhi who is guarding Tongguan is also far inferior to the number of troops that the center can control, there is an army in the court and in the clan. An undercurrent is gathering and brewing, and there is no telling when it will surge.

Although we don't know the source of this undercurrent for the time being, but as the saying goes, "If you don't forewarn, you will fail." How could Fang Jun not make preparations in advance?
