Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 353 Under Chang'an City
On November [-], Li Fei's entire army crossed the Yellow River and continued southward.

Two days later, Lingwu, which was parallel to more than 200 miles away, passed by. Li Fei was too lazy to go to Lingwu to meet Suzong Li Heng because he believed that Suzong Liheng would not welcome him anyway, so he went. On the contrary, there was a lot of intrigue and exhaustion.

When Li Fei took An Dong cavalry across the Yellow River in Jiuyuan, the news reached Lingwu, and Suzong Li Heng kept paying attention to Li Fei's movements.

Knowing that Li Fei passed Lingwu and would not come to see him, Suzong Li Heng was very angry and cursed out loud.

"Your Majesty, there are not many soldiers and horses left behind in Lingwu. It would be better if Li Fei didn't come." Li Fuguo was beside him, and his words directly extinguished Suzong Li Heng's anger. Word.

"Your Majesty, anyway, Li Fei has already crossed the Yellow River, and it is as if he has entered an urn. After regaining Chang'an City and the Eastern Capital Luoyang, he will not escape!" Li Fuguo sneered to appease Suzong Li Heng.

I didn't expect that Li Fei really came. Although Li Fei brought a full [-] Anton iron cavalry, it was quite stressful when I first heard about it. However, the iron cavalry may be powerful in combat, but it has the disadvantage of not being good at attacking the city. Imagine that after the recovery of Chang'an City and the eastern capital of Luoyang, Emperor Suzong Li Heng ordered Li Fei to be killed in the Central Plains. Li Fei's men were all iron cavalry, and the city gates along the way were closed. Zhimu, how long can it last!

Suzong Li Heng nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, full of chill.

Chang'an City.

Although the siege battle was not as intense as it was in the first half month and was mainly based on consumption, two or three thousand soldiers still died every day. Up to now, Guo Ziyi and other Tang Fan coalition forces have lost more than nine Thousands of soldiers, but still failed to capture Chang'an City.

Countless corpses, some of which have rotted in the dead moat, piled up at the foot of the city wall. The rebels threw some hay and firewood from the wall, and set fire to some of the corpses piled up at the foot of the city wall. With a disgusting burnt smell.

Whether it is an anti-army soldier or a soldier of the Tang Army, watching such a scene, their faces turn pale and their legs tremble, especially the soldiers of the Tang Army, because most of the countless burning corpses are their former comrades. I don't know if I will end up like this next time.

After such a long period of see-saw, the Tang and Fan coalition forces no longer had the high morale they had when they first reached the city of Chang'an, and they were unable to attack Chang'an City for a long time. Thousands of people died in battle every day. Can't keep up morale.

Guo Ziyi looked expressionless, but her mouth was bitter.

Don't look at the fact that the Tang Fan coalition army still has nearly 17 people, which is 2 more than when they first reached the city of Chang'an. But when they first reached the city of Chang'an, almost all the soldiers were elites. Excluding nearly [-] Huihe cavalry, [-] Tubo soldiers, and the remaining [-] Tang soldiers, there are only more than [-] elite soldiers left in a hundred battles. It is purely for consumption.

As a general, Guo Ziyi knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted, but these were real human lives, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he couldn't be completely indifferent.

Guangping Wang Liyu directly expressed the sorrow in his heart on his face.

The Tubo people came to fight soy sauce. Because the siege battle lasted too long and the casualties were too heavy, the Tubo people didn't even keep their promise as archers, and they stepped aside, almost no longer participating in the siege. King Ping and Guo Ziyi had nothing to do with these Tubo people. They were not fools, and they would not really think that the Tubo people were wholeheartedly helping Datang wipe out the rebels. Put it on the neck of the Tubo people to force the Tubo people.

On the contrary, the Uighur cavalry led by the Uighur Prince Ye Hu were quite sincere. At least when the soldiers of the Tang army attacked the city, they still participated in the support of the archers.However, it was also for the purpose of entering the city with the Tang army as soon as possible and fulfilling the promise Suzong Li Heng had made to them to return to Hehe. The gold, silk and children in the city were allowed to return to Hehe to "get what they wanted"!
in the city.

In fact, An Shouzhong and other rebels were not happy. There were nearly 1 soldiers who retreated into the city, but now there are only more than [-] left, more than half of them lost, and the morale of the army is unstable.Although the young and strong in the city could be forcibly recruited to participate in the defense of the city, it is impossible for the young and strong in the city to be united with the rebels. Even if they are forced to climb the city wall, they will not be able to help.

"'Your Majesty' will not be able to re-open Tongguan, how many days can we last?" An Shouzhong's face was gloomy. If he is not cleared by 'Da Yan', and without reinforcements, he will not be able to hold on.

"No matter what, we still have to stick to it first, one more day counts as one day, hum, with me, An Shouzhong, the Tang army can never take back Chang'an City!" An Shouzhong gritted his teeth.

"Da da--"

Riding a fast horse, he suddenly came to the Tang army camp. It was a messenger sent by Lingwu Suzong Li Heng and Li Fuguo.

He leaned close to Yu Chaoen's ear and whispered to Yu Chaoen for a while.In addition to telling Yu Chaoen that Li Fei's An Dong army had crossed the Yellow River and was about to arrive at the city of Chang'an, there were other calculations.

Yu Chaoen's face was overjoyed, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately came to the side of Guangping King Li Yu and Guo Ziyi.

"My lord, we don't have to worry, someone will take our place to fight the rebels in the city." Yu Chaoen said with a smile.

"Oh? What's going on?" Guangping Wang Liyu asked.

"Li Fei, King of Beiping County, led the elite Anton army, and he will arrive at the city of Chang'an soon. He will replace us and consume the rebel army in the city." Yu Chaoen's smile was full of calculations when he said this.

Yu Chaoen already knew about Suzong Li Heng's plan, and he also had resentment towards Li Fei. Back then at Mawei Station, Li Fei threatened to kill Li Fuguo and him, making him and Li Fuguo useless for a while. If Li Fei loses the opportunity, he is willing to cooperate.

"Your Majesty asked Beiping County King Li Fei to lead an army from Anton?" Guo Ziyi's expression was startled. He didn't think too much about it. He only felt that with Li Fei's elite Anton army participating in the siege, Chang'an City would be recovered as soon as possible.

Although Guo Ziyi has never been in contact with the Anton Army, he has heard of Li Fei's record with the Anton Army. For Li Fei, Guo Ziyi has admiration in his heart. In his impression, the Anton Army is an absolute At the same time, Guo Ziyi also wanted to meet the famous Beiping County King Li Fei who was only 23 years old.

"Boom--"

About an hour later, with the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the ground seemed to tremble, and an iron horse slowly entered everyone's field of vision.
