Chapter 700
Mount Li is surrounded by mountains and rivers,
Mountains and rivers are still as old as ever.
Foxes and rabbits are sad, and grass and trees are autumn;
The Qin Palace and Sui Garden are stinking,
Where is the Tang Dynasty's Que'an and Han Mausoleum?
The mountains are empty and sad;
The river flows by itself.
"Hillside Sheep·Chang'an Nostalgia"
Yuan Dynasty: Zhao Shanqing
——I am the dividing line—
When the sun rose again the next day, Zhao Ziri, who was covered in dust and had only one trousers, sat on the ground with his hands, because like many people who failed to escape from the battlefield, he had become a prisoner of the imperial government army.
After all, the Great Qi army and horses who attacked and surrounded by three routes from Chang'an City had originally planned to set up an ambush to take down the commander of the official army, Cui Anqian, but he did not expect to win first and then lose, and he defeated the official army.
As a result, among the three armies, the people who came out of Chunmingmen on the South Road were defeated first; under the pursuit of the Hu cavalry from the official army, they either died or surrendered, or fled missing, and most of them were unable to escape back to the city.
Then the collapse was the northern troops who were surrounded by foreign aid from the Chongxuan Gate of the Daming Palace. Although they fought and moved closer to Longshouyuan under the leadership of Li Guang, the veteran who had always been good at fighting, they still couldn't escape the disaster of exhaustion.
In the end, only a small group of people turned on their own initiative and unexpectedly broke through the inner defense line of the government army, and joined with the middle troops in the frontal battle, so that they could temporarily get rid of the collapse.
At this time, the brave warriors who came forward from the middle lane even approached within twenty steps before Cui An was invaded, leaving only the last thin front consisting of the sonic slaughter and the guards of the camp.
However, the new force that came from an official army recently was still a hundred steps away from a single arrow. Therefore, at this moment, both the official army and the rebel army had already been fighting crazy, and the final courage and momentum burst out.
They were entangled together at all costs, grabbing the bowstrings in their hands and flags, anything that could be used as weapons, and even like the most primitive beasts, they used their nails and teeth to fight each other until they completely died.
However, just as it was a time when we were struggling to disturb each other's life and death, the sky still favored the government's army's subordinates. The gust of dust blowing from east to west affected the vision of the rebel warriors in the momentum of advancing.
Then, there was no more. Because they were within ten steps of the army's army, they were pushed back; and then, in the exhaustion of exhaustion, they fell into disintegration layer by layer.
If it weren't for leading the jumping army and the daring warriors, Meng Juehai, the commander of the Tongzhou who had already broken into the enemy's formation, would have thrown with an accurate hand axe and killed two soldiers holding the flag together, causing the flag to fall suddenly;
He took the opportunity to shout "Cui An is in a lurking execution", which caused the official army's offensive to cause a moment of chaos and stagnation in the melee; he was afraid that all the soldiers and horses in the middle line would be destroyed in the encirclement of the official army.
In the end, only Meng Juehai, who was seriously injured in the outbreak, was able to lead a small number of the most elite soldiers who were used to fighting back to the edge of the moat in Chang'an; and under the cover of the walls, he successfully retreated to the city with all his battles and retreats.
As for the others, they can only become corpses that are covered in the wilderness and have their heads cut off one after another; or Zhao Ziri is usually stripped of her armor and naked and waiting for her to fall.
Of course, more people were able to escape into the countryside outside the city, and temporarily hide and hide under the cover of night; however, under the pursuit and search of the subsequent official army cavalry, their fate could not be consumed.
After the day was completely bright, Zhao Ziri and others, who were more hungry, finally came to a time to decide their destiny when they smelled the scent of the cooking fires that came out of the temporary camp.
The officers holding swords, guns, and crossbows, pointed and guided their love in some timid figures, and quickly brought out the leaders of them one by one; then they pressed them down to the ground and chopped off their heads in front of them.
Then, some people tried to struggle to resist to delay the fate of slaughtering like animals; then they called out that a few more arrows were inserted into their bodies and continued to behead their heads on the still warm corpse.
This time, driven by a certain desire to survive, Zhao Ziri stood up desperately and shouted to the officers and soldiers: "I want to know Xunduo people anyway... I can serve the official army..."
However, his confession was exchanged for a burst of laughter and ridicule with different accents, and the follow-up action of kicking him on the bend of his leg without hesitation.
"Don't kill me, I'm useful to the court. I know a lot about the thief army."
Even though he shouted so hard, he waved his thick back machete without hesitation and finally fell down.
However, another sudden sound was blocked by a short spear suddenly thrown out, and the ears that were pressed against Zhao Ziri fell into the soil on the side of his cheek, and a large piece was raised. Then a voice coming from behind said:
"Let's do it slowly, listen to him tell me how..."
At this moment, Zhao Ziri, who had been on the verge of life and death, suddenly said with great blessings to his heart:
"I also know the peaceful thieves in the south... so this generation destroyed my home, wrapped up my relatives, and fought against the court for the tiger."
Soon after, Zhao Ziri stood in front of the rebel leaders who had been identified by him, facing their various resentful, resentful and threatening hatred eyes. Then, he relaxed.
No matter how good the women and wealth in the capital were, could they survive the life they could survive? Then he waved his knife without hesitation and cut down the heads of Shangguan and his colleagues who had enjoyed the same woman together one after another.
In an instant, the blood surging from the head was cut off, splashing her head and face, without affecting his will and determination. He cut until the fifth person, and was stopped by someone.
And amid the screams of exclamation in the gatehouse in Chang'an City; as the stripped armor appeared, the general Meng Juehai, who was covered in blood-spraying wounds, suddenly fainted completely under the pain and fatigue.
At the same time, Chai Ping, the Third Army General who had just crossed the Lantian Pass and expelled a small group of anti-rebels who occupied Lantian County. During the period when he was officially led his troops, he was slowly recalling the instructions of the Grand Commander before departure:
"The territory of the Taiping Army is large enough now, so it takes more time and manpower to absorb and digest it before it can be transformed into available potential forces and basic platforms."
"At least before the expanded training center system can cultivate enough officials and students, occupying more places will only become a burden and burden on the Grand Governor's Office; whether it is Jiangdong, Shannan, or Xiajiang, the same is true for it."
"There is no sufficient governance of grassroots personnel in the local area and the military deterrence to maintain control will complement each other. It will only give the soldiers to the territory and achievements with great painstaking blood, and then give them to those ambitious speculators who take the opportunity to emerge, and make their careers more complicated in the future."
"So, the purpose of our troops this time is also very clear. It is not about the temporary gains and losses in the fight for and obtaining land, population, wealth, or the pronunciation of status and authority, but the focus is on how to crack down and eliminate it, from the old dynasty's dead without being stiff;"
"The second is to support and support the rebel forces within the pass, and to help them overcome the current difficulties and crises with the conditions and choices; in order to continue to serve as a buffer and excessive force for the northern goodwill forces, to gather strength for the rest and reproduction under the rule of the Taiping Army, and to gain more time."
"Of course, if you have the opportunity, you can declare your army's majesty and strength. Memory will continue to spread the ideas and demands of our Taiping Army; to continue to win over and attract those truly knowledgeable people in the rebel army, or those who have the desire to save the nation and survive..."
However, they had just stopped in Lantian County, when Chai Ping walked up to the city tower north of Lantian County and began to look at the Guanzhong land in his sight. He saw Chen Duer, the Yu Houguan who hurried over to the city and reported in a low voice:
"Empress Cao in Chang'an City is here to go..."
"It is said that the Gyeonggi defenders had just encountered a major setback in the Battle of Longshouqu in the north;"
"There are now very empty troops in the capital. I would like to invite our army to settle in to defend the three gates of Anhua, Mingde and Qixia in the south...."
