Late Tang

(Thanks to the support of the captain of the cavalry school and the half knife zsz, thank you!)

Huang Chao's proposal is very tempting, but today's Li Keyong is no longer the brat he was back then.Even three years ago, when Huang Chao was the most powerful, Li Keyong would not necessarily be tempted by his words, let alone now when Huang Chao is clearly about to be destroyed.

The current Huang Chao is hard to save even if it is a god. If he gets mixed up with him at this time, isn't that a lack of brain?

Li Keyong's reply to Huang Chao's envoy was very simple and clear. He took back his clansman, and then accepted all the precious money Huang Chao sent, and then distributed it to his soldiers. Finally, he gave Huang Chao's imperial pen The letter was burned, and the head of Huang Chao's envoy was directly cut off, and he took it to sacrifice the military flag.

After sacrificing the envoy's head to the flag, Li Keyong personally led the main force from the east of the river to cross the Yellow River from the Heyang Ferry upstream of the Pujin Bridge and stationed in Tongzhou.

When the Hedong army entered the pass, Zhang Juyan, a general of the Qi army who had repeatedly created miracles before, suffered a defeat this time.He fought with Lin Yan and the Hedong Army in Shayuan in the East of Chang'an, but they were defeated because of insufficient troops, especially Li Quanzhong and Zhuge Shuang in Tongguan, Li Sigong, Dongfang Kui in the north, and Wang Chongrong in the north. Seeing that the situation was going well, they suddenly swarmed in and beat the dog in the water. Zhang Juyan and Lin Yan faced the Eastern Allied Forces with more than 10 people, and finally lost again and again until they reached Chang'an.

Wang Duo, the governor of the capital, was very happy, seeing that Huang Chao was about to be wiped out under his command, but at this moment, brother Yang Fugong suddenly led his troops close to his barracks.into a siege situation.Then Yang Fugong served as the envoy of the Tenth Army and the Twelve Guards, the envoy of the Privy Council, and the lieutenant of the Shence Army.In the name of the emperor, Wang Duo, the commander-in-chief, was dismissed.Yang Fugong's reason was that Wang Duo had been the governor of the capital for a long time, but he hadn't made any achievements in size. Jiedushi Li Ke used it.

It should be said that Wang Duo will be dismissed sooner or later.After all, he was appointed and dismissed by Tian Lingzi. In the current situation where the eunuchs are divided, how could the Yang brothers allow Tian Lingzi to sit in such an important position all the time.Even if Wang Duo had fallen to them, he was not really one of his own after all. Now that the situation was clear, they no longer needed Wang Duo.Giving the position of the capital to Li Keyong is also to see Li Keyong's strong performance, which is much stronger than Zhuzhen.This made them even more determined to win over Li Keyong. A position in the capital is an excellent bargaining chip.

In Chang'an City, Huang Chao was afraid that Huang Chao was now desperate.He wants to break through the blockade and jump out of the cage of Chang'an.The plan to continue the previous rogue operations has completely failed.Facing the coalition forces oppressing from the east, west and south, Huang Chao made a decision to fight to the death with the Tang army in Chang'an City.

In August, both sides were doing their best to mobilize troops and generals.

In the middle of the month, the final assembly of the two sides was completed, and the Qi army assembled the last elite 15 people. The troops left Chang'an City and stationed in Liangtianpo, [-] miles west of Huazhou. Zhao Zhang, the servant, and Zhang Juyan, the new privy envoy, were the deputy commanders. Lin Yan, the military envoy, Jing Zhaoyin Wang Fan, and the two princes Huang Ye and Huang Kui all participated in the battle.

Opposing it was the Hankeng Tang Dynasty coalition army stationed in the west of Shayuan. Li Ke used 25 troops, Wang Chongrong [-], and Yang Fuguang brothers commanded [-] troops. In addition, there were several towns of soldiers and horses. It reached [-] people.The number is almost twice that of the Qi army.

On August [-]th, Li Keyong, the newly appointed governor of the capital, personally led the Shatuo cavalry to take the lead. Wan's main force formed an array to meet the enemy. Yi Shangrang commanded the central army, Wang Fan and Lin Yan commanded the left wing, Zhang Juyan and Zhao Zhang commanded the right wing, and fought desperately with Li Keyong and other Tang troops. A battle—the battle of Liangtianpi started!

The general battle lasted from noon to dusk. The outnumbered Qi army finally couldn't support it, and the whole line collapsed. The Tang army took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill. The crowd, including Zhao Zhang, the third figure in the Daqi Dynasty, was among them.

The Qi army was completely defeated. After hearing the news in Chang'an, Huang Chao immediately ordered Chang'an to be burned, and then led the troops left behind in Chang'an to break through to the southwest overnight!

At this time, Huang Chao's two brothers led the partial division but won the victory. They captured Huazhou and gave Huang Chao a chance to escape.

However, Huang Chao's retreat plan was unsuccessful. Just when Huang Chao was about to withdraw from Lantian via Wuguan, Zhu Quanzhong, Qin Zongquan, Zhou Ji and other towns stationed on the southern line had a total of [-] troops. At that time, under the command of Zhu Quanzhong, he quickly rushed to Wuguan, took Wuguan in only one day, and then went straight to Guanzhong. Huang Chao had just left Chang'an, and Zhu Quanzhong had already killed Lantian.

Huang Chao was forced to withdraw to Chang'an again, to fight the last trapped beast.

On August 27th, the No. 11 day after the Battle of Liang Tianpi, Li Keyong, who had completed his rest and replenishment, led his army back again, surrounded Huazhou, and trapped Huang Ye and Huang Kui in the city.Huang Chao returned to Chang'an, so after receiving the letter of help from his brother, he asked Shang Rang to regroup the defeated troops to rescue Huazhou, trying to keep this only way of retreat.

After hearing the news, Li Keyong adopted the strategy of encircling points to fight for aid, leaving only a small number of troops to encircle Huazhou, while he himself led the main force and Wang Chongrong's Hezhong Army to march westward to attack Shangrang's rescue Qi army head-on.On September [-]th, Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong defeated the Qi army and a hundred miles east of Chang'an.

In order to hit Huang Chao's morale, Li Keyong began to transfer him to the new Flying Tigers, which imitated Li Jing's Qin Army Yingyang Special Army, and divided this elite special forces into several small teams. They sneaked into Chang'an City at night and launched endless Intermittent harassing attacks, in Chang'an City, Qi army's government office, grain depot, and armory caught fire from time to time, and Qi officials and soldiers who were left alone were frequently assassinated.

On September 27, one month after the Tang army besieged the city, the isolated and helpless Huazhou was conquered, and Huang Chao's two brothers were captured.

In October, Li Keyong, Yang Fuguang and Yang Fugong ordered a full-scale attack on Chang'an in the headquarters of the Tang Army Camp, who felt that the time was ripe.

The Hedong Army used by Li Ke is still taking the lead, and the Hezhong Army and the Zhongwu Army are also involved. Those feudal towns that did not work hard, now see that the situation is very good, and they are not willing to miss out on beating the dogs in the water and taking the opportunity to make war fortune. Taking advantage of the good opportunity, they quickly sent troops to join the battle.

Huang Chao was in trouble at home and abroad, with strong enemies pressing down on the situation. The situation was extremely bad. Huang Chao, who knew he was finished, simply defended Chang'an.He built several lines of defense in the outskirts of Chang'an, and sent all the people he could catch to the battlefield, regardless of men, women, or children, and urged them to resist desperately.

The battle was extremely fierce, as many as more than 20 troops from feudal towns, the coalition forces with a total of more than 40 soldiers and horses violently attacked Chang'an.In just one day, the two armies of Tang and Qi fought three battles. The Qi army was defeated three times in three battles, and the Chengjiu defense line completely collapsed.

On October 100th, the various departments of the Tang Army assembled a huge force of a thousand capitals. According to the normal establishment, one capital of the Shence Army had a thousand people, and most of the ordinary towns had 20 people. The armies of more than 5000 feudal towns have different establishments, some have 100 people, and some have 40 people.The assembled more than a thousand capitals, collectively called Qiandu, actually included a total of [-] troops, including logistics auxiliary troops.

The Great Battle of Qiandu started in the morning and continued until the afternoon. Li Ke's Hedong Army was the first to break through the outer city, and then started a street battle with the Qi Army who refused to surrender.

Huang Chao also took off the gold-woven dragon robe, threw away the balance crown, and put on a golden battle armor. He rolled up his sleeves and commanded the Qi army to deploy in the Qionglou and Yuyu of the royal palace with a long knife. The favorable terrain of each royal road launched a fierce street battle with the intruding Li Ke's army.

But today's Chang'an is not Tongguan more than two years ago, and his "Royal Conquest" cannot save the defeat!

When the fierce battle reached dusk, Li Ke's vanguard had occupied the Wangchun Palace Shengyang Hall in the east of Daming Palace, and the Qi army's defense in the Forbidden Garden was defeated again.Although Huang Chao was unwilling at this time, he also understood that he had failed, a complete failure.

After a long sigh, he wiped the blood from his face and panted heavily. After several years of living in the imperial palace, he who was once brave was unable to do what he wanted with a sword.The battle just now had already left him out of breath.Those beauties and concubines in Chang'an Palace corrupted him.

Ruanrou Township is Hero Tomb, he suddenly remembered this sentence.

Looking back at the Daming Palace he was used to, he sighed again, "Farewell, Chang'an, my Yanjing!"

Subsequently, Huang Chao ordered to set fire to the Daming Palace and the surrounding forbidden gardens, and let the Qi army break through and evacuate Chang'an.

Huang Chao didn't leave. For Huang Chao, a former fallen scholar and private salt dealer, he was too old to escape.And this life, ending at this time, has already satisfied him.He used to be a lowly scholar and a private salt dealer, but he rang the death knell of Tang Dynasty. Concubines and beauties who were once so high and noble that they could not be looked up to, wealthy ladies conquered their crotches.

He put on the golden battle armor, the bright yellow dragon robe, the balance crown, the ninety-five supreme position, and the dragon chair.

Enough is enough, even if you die now, this life of rolling around in the world of mortals is not in vain.

The flames were rising, and the palace was already on fire, but Huang Chao stood proudly in the golden armor, smiling! . )
