Chapter 808 Aftercare
What an eyeless guy!
Looking at Sun Sansheng's panicked old face, Li Xian was really a little angry - the emergency military situation is to report to the general, but it also depends on the occasion, isn't it? At this time, people's hearts are not completely stabilized, and they have been messed up by Sun Sansheng. If Li Xian didn't have prepared in advance, wouldn't it be a mess now?
Li Xian actually didn't expect that the army of the King of Yue would come so quickly at such a time of cold weather. It is naturally impossible to say that he is not nervous. You should know that the Tang Dynasty now implements the government military system. Although the Tibetan soldiers seem to save a lot of military expenses from the people, it has caused a bad result, which is the sudden state. However, when something happens, it is difficult to mobilize enough troops, even if it is the eastern capital Luoyang. The soldiers of the 100,000 South Battalion who have just returned from the Turks have now dispersed, and there are only a few left-behind officers and soldiers left in the barracks. Even if Li Xian issued an edict at this time, it will take at least ten days to summon the army. It is very obvious. However, this end can't be counted on.
If the army of the King of Yue comes quickly, Li Xian can only rely on Cheng, Li's two Yulin Army and the Donggong Guard. In total, there are only less than 10,000 troops. It can be counted as 3,000 standing troops in Luoyang Prefecture that can be temporarily transferred, and the total strength is only more than 12,000. After deducting the imperial city, etc. The number of troops who can really fight against the enemy will not exceed 10,000. As for the other end of the Hexi army, it is still on the way. It is hard to say when it will arrive. There is no doubt that the situation is obviously not so optimistic.
"Don't be nervous. I already know that the king of Yue wants to do evil things, but now Guanlong Tieqi has passed the Laoshan Pass and is coming to Luoyang at the same time. Thieves are rampant!"
No matter what the real situation is, the people who should be appeased must be calmed quickly. No matter how irritable the heart is, Li Xian will not bring it to his face, but smile, wave his hand, and announce very proudly.
"Your Majesty, there is no place for a thief to die!"
"Your Majesty is wise, and I am impressed!"
......
Most of the courtiers present were basically the former neutrals. They finally stood in the right team. Naturally, they didn't expect that the skill of the dragon that had just arrived would turn into a bubble. Regardless of whether what Li Xian said was true or false, they all climbed up the pole, and the words in their mouths were like a tide, and Li Xian was really serious. Some people have goose bumps.
"Go ahead and get busy!"
The military situation was like fire. Li Xian had no intention to chat with the courtiers. He waved his hand and went to the soft car. Zhang Mingwu led 2,000 guards to the Qinzheng Hall...
"See Your Majesty!"
Li Duozuo, who attacked the Qinzheng Hall several times and failed to enter the hall, was furious towards a group of generals. Suddenly, he saw Li Xian's soft car and came over. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He hurriedly led the generals forward and greeted respectfully.
"Let it go."
Li Xian slowly walked down the soft car, looked around at the worried generals, and then looked at the nervous and alert Sanwu Department of the Qinzheng Hall. He was quite impatient, but he did not blame Li Duozuo and others, but shouted indifferently.
"The last general is waiting to thank Your Highness Long, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Since Li Xian had already sent a message, the generals did not dare to neglect him. They thanked him according to the rules of the court and stood aside.
"Your Majesty, the thief is in the palace. The last general is incompetent and can't defeat the thief. Please punish him."
Seeing that Li Xian's face was cold, the nervousness in Li Duozuo's heart, who knew that the battle was unfavorable, couldn't help but be a little deeper, and he hurried to say something and pleaded guilty.
"It doesn't matter. It's not a crime of war. General Li has worked hard."
Although he was dissatisfied with Li Duozuo's delay in taking Sanwu, Li Xian did not bring it to his face, but smiled and gently comforted Li Duozuo.
"The last general will ask for orders to attack again, and he will definitely be a thief!"
Seeing that Li Xian brought the army of the East Palace Guard, Li Duozuo was afraid of losing the opportunity to make contributions, so he peeked at Li Xian's face, gritted his teeth, and shouted for a war.
"Well, General Li's loyalty and courage are commendable. I am very gratified, but now that things have changed. The King of Yue has turned around, and his army is rushing to the east. I still need General Li to lead his troops to stick to Luoyang for me. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be overworked. In this way, I'll let the Donggong Guard to cooperate with General Li's troops to break the thief."
Li Xian is in a hurry to deploy combat matters. There is not so much time for Li Duozuo to waste. Among other things, if Li Duozuo's troops can attack, he will not be defeated repeatedly. At this time, I'm afraid it won't be much good. Of course, this is not the incompetence of Li Duozuo's department, nor is it a general. Using life is really limited by the terrain. In the case of not being able to set fire, it is indeed difficult to break through the densely defended door. Because of this, Li Xian did not say anything to blame Li Duozuo. However, he would not agree to his request to attack again, so he pondered for a little and made a debious tone.
"No, the last will obey the order!"
Li Xiandu has said this. Li Duozuo did not dare to insist any more, so he could only bow his head reluctantly to lead the order.
"Zhang Mingwu."
Seeing that Li Duozuo did not have any more objections, Li Xian didn't want to talk more nonsense, so he raised his voice and drank.
"The end will be!"
Zhang Mingwu has been wandering with Li Xian for most of the day today. He has never been able to get to the battle. He has been idle for a long time. When Li Xian called his name, how could he not quickly stand up and respond?
"I ordered you to send a team of soldiers to cooperate with General Li's troops, and take down the Qin Zhen Hall for me within three quarters of a time. There is no mistake!"
Li Xian glanced at Zhang Mingwu, who rubbed his eyes and wiped his palms. His face was solemn, and he made the will in an unquestionable tone.
"No!"
As soon as he heard that there was only one team of soldiers in his department, Zhang Mingwu was quite unwilling, but he never dared to bargain here. He bowed down, hurriedly answered the promise, and went to arrange people without mentioning it.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The last general is going to arrange a strong attack."
If Zhang Mingwu is not satisfied because he sent too few troops, Li Duozuo doesn't think so. In his opinion, the first team of soldiers is only more than a hundred people. He can't use it, and he also divides the credit of his own troops in vain. However, Li Xian has made the will. Even if Li Duozuo is dissatisfied, he has no courage to raise objections. He can only He bowed to beg for his life, and then strode back to this array, roaring and ordering the last blow.
"Don't panic. The Empress has sent people to transfer troops outside the city. The soldiers of the Southern Battalion must come in a flash. As long as we can stop the thieves, we are all social meritorious officials. The Empress will never treat you badly!"
Li Xian was dispatching troops and generals, and Wu Chengsi in the Qinzheng Hall was also desperately cheering for the remnants of his army, and made a lot of promises with empty mouths and white teeth.
"That's right, what Wu Shangshu said is that we are all benefactored by the Empress. When we fight to the death and fight to the end, who dares to retreat and kill without mercy!"
Like Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi is also very clear about the fact that whether they surrender or not and fall into the hands of Li Xian, it is absolutely a dead end. Instead of dying in vain, it is better to resist to the end. In view of this, he fully cooperated with Wu Chengsi to sing a white face, waved a horizontal knife, and fiercely. Words of coercion.
"Blood battle to the end, blood battle to the end!"
Wu Yizong is not as eloquence as black and white as the two brothers. However, the leader in shouting slogans is still quite enthusiastic. The disabled officers and soldiers have seen the arrival of Li Xian. They do not believe the words of Sanwu, and the echoing voice seems to be a little weak.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
Before Sanwu's mobilization farce came to an end, in a sad horn, Zhang Mingwu personally led a team of East Palace guards to start the front pressure.
"The archers are ready to shoot them!"
Although the Donggongwei rate is small, its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. This is clear to the Yulin officers and soldiers. Seeing Zhang Mingwu's troops walking slowly, Wu Yizong, who was responsible for commanding the battle, inevitably became nervous, so he hurriedly roared. For this, more than 200 bows and crossbowmen stood on the steps. Ma Qi raised the bow and arrow in his hand and nervously aimed at the approaching East Palace Guard.
"The crossbow is ready!"
Seeing that the bow and crossbowmen of the Yulin army were so nervous and alert, Zhang Mingwu curled his mouth disdainfully and shouted in a low voice. He immediately saw that more than a hundred guards of the East Palace on the way untied the crossbow machine hanging on his right waist and aimed at their targets.
"C shoot!"
With the gradual approach of the army led by the East Palace Guard, the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened to 60 steps. At this time, it was within the effective range of the continuous crossbows in the hands of the East Palace Guards, while the range of bows and arrows in the hands of the Yulin officers and soldiers was only about 50 steps, which was obviously a great opportunity for the East Palace Guard to lead the army to break the enemy. Well, Zhang Mingwu would not miss it, but under his roar, more than a hundred guards of the East Palace pulled the trigger together, and more than a thousand steel arrows roared out densely like locusts, cutting through the space at high speed, which instantly aroused a ghost-crying and wolf-like scream among the unprepared Yulin officers and soldiers.
"Gun out the gun, go!"
Under the robbery of the arrow rain, the bow and crossbowmen of the Yulin army, who were originally arranged on the aisle outside the hall, were basically shot to death on the spot. The rest were also scared by the dense arrow rain and lay on the fence. They didn't even dare to raise their heads. As soon as they saw this, Zhang Mingwu rushed and roared again, but he saw the East Palace guards who shot the arrows empty. He quickly dropped the crossbow, picked up the hand inserted in the left waist, spread his legs, and launched a wild charge.
"The crossbowman counterattacks, the shield knife is in front of him, and he is ready to fight!"
As soon as he saw that the East Palace Guard had launched a charge, Wu Yizong's eyes turned red, waved his horizontal knife wildly, and drove his generals to prepare for the strong attack of the East Palace Guards.
"Fire!"
Just as Wu Yizong panicked and transferred troops, the guards of the East Palace had rushed to the distance of only a dozen steps, but when they heard Zhang Mingwu's roar, the sound of gunfire sounded like a bean in an instant. In the smoke of gunpowder, bullets roared and crashed into the Yulin officers and soldiers who were in a mess, and immediately swept to Dozens of people.
"Sword, kill the thief!"
Not waiting for the Yulin army to come to his senses, Zhang Mingwu had already roared and pulled out the horizontal knife around his waist, rushed up the steps like a god and demon, rushed into the chaotic army, and killed several people in an instant, which shocked the Yulin officers and soldiers to avoid it. The already chaotic array was a little more chaotic, and then it was followed. As soon as the killed guards of the East Palace rushed, they immediately fell into a state of collapse and turned their heads and fled to the hall regardless.
"Fight, kill!"
As soon as Li Duozuo, who personally led the army as the second echelon, saw that Zhang Mingwu's department had only one impact, he had opened the difficulties of the door of the palace. For a moment, his heart was full of mixed feelings, nothing else, just because he asked Zhang Mingwu to play the vanguard was to let Zhang Mingwu suffer some hardships, so as to show his previous defeats. It was not a crime of war, but I never thought that the combat effectiveness of the army led by the East Palace Guard was so strong. In addition to being shocked, I didn't forget the business. I roared and rushed into the open door.
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Yulin Army was not good. The reason why they were able to break through the strong attack of Li Duozuo's army several times in a row in the early days was that they relied on the land advantage. Now the land advantage has been lost and the army's heart has been chaotic. How can they stop the attack of the elites of Zhang and Li? However, after a fight in a long time, the war has come to an end. All three martial arts were killed in the battle, and more than 800 remnants of the Yulin Army, except for more than 300 who died on the spot, all the rest fell. At this point, the whole imperial city has completely fallen into the control of Li Xian...
