When Zhou Huaian supported Cao Hongyao, who seemed to be in the cotton-like clouds, was faintly dazed and unable to stand steadily, got off the boat, and saw Yu Hou Changmibao standing aside and bowing his hands and saying:

"Master, the latest battle report in the pass..."

"... From Dachang Pass, Lantian City and Bailuyuan, Wuliuyi won several battles, defeated five Western troops, killed more than 10,000 people and captured half of them, and seized about 40,000 cows, horses and sheep. "

"As of the noon the day before yesterday when the news was issued, Cao Zhonglang's second reinforcements had successfully advanced to the southern suburbs of Chang'an City; and he repelled the troops of the Langzhou Governor Li Mingzhen, who was the governor of Guiyi Army; and the remnants of Wang Xingkong who was guarding at Mingde Gate, and obtained preliminary contacts..."

Upon hearing this news, Cao Hongyao, who was sore and unable to stand steadily, couldn't help but let out a "ah".

However, at the same time, in the camp captured outside Mingde Gate, the army that was stopped and turned to a state of renovation and consolidation, Cao Shixiong, who was a pure and thin person, summarized the experience and lessons of the generals and recorders around him at the corresponding briefing meeting on the scene:

"Build a strong village and fight a stupid battle; do more homework and be good at placing a formation; although our army relies on the benefits of equipment and provides sufficient supplies, and is the biggest guarantee for the continuous battle to overcome all changes."

"However, there are many cavalry in the Western Army. Our army can still defeat and defeat them. However, once the enemy is defeated and fled, it will be impossible to catch up with it and not do its best."

"So, we still need to use the horse team and cavalry more actively, thinking that cooperation and restraining means can achieve greater results..."

"In addition, there are many corresponding subordinates in the Guiyi army, which is certainly accused of uneven quality; but the northwest areas have always been mixed with vassals and Han people, and the people are brave and brave, and they are mostly village party members and children of the same clan as their ranks;"

"This formation battle is indeed a great battle of blood and courage, and in the chaos, it is like a fish in water and fighting together to fight for the killing. Even if you are at a disadvantage and flee, you can still be spontaneously cut off the back and slowly retreat and scatter."

"So, after encountering these suspected people in front of the formation, you can no longer stop and lure the enemy like you are dealing with those vassals, or deliberately try your best to entangle and annihilate them. Instead, you should try your best to fire the cannons and guns before the battle, and kill more, and in the shortest time, you can destroy the morale and spirit of the first formation of those generations in one go...

"Otherwise, after letting these people take advantage of the momentum and rush into the formation, the soldiers of this army who fight with guns and tools will easily fall into a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, and will even be scrambled to break up the formation, blocking and affecting the shooting range of friendly troops, and losing the greatest advantages and advantages of fighting with fire tools."

"...There are several regiments on both sides of the front wings. They did not notice that they were taken straight by them and lost more than a dozen generals and schoolmen, including the chief and deputy captains, on the spot, and had to disband the formation and retreat and reorganize them in their respective teams."

".As a lesson learned from the past, in the next array, in addition to the generals who must be arranged in the previous guide, it is necessary to ensure that the other 30% to half of the assistants should be waited for in the third and fourth columns to be substituted..."

Speaking of this, Cao Shixiong suddenly shouted a name and said:

"Zhou Mengnan,"

"The villain is..."

Zhou Mengnan, the cruising team officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a faint appearance of Hu people, walked up dejectedly.

"You have been chasing the enemy without authorization, and even missed the fighter opportunity to support and cover our regiment, which in disguise caused the enemy to be shaken and chaotic. You should be dealt with by military law. If you violate the order, you will be punished with severe punishment."

Cao Shixiong said in a deep voice with a cold face:

"The villain...the villain has nothing to say."

Hearing this, Zhou Mengnan, the great man, responded dryly, but he couldn't help but hunch over. He lamented in his heart, will his journey of revenge end here?

"However, right now, just as the army is employed, you are a former member of the army and have made meritorious performances. You cannot waste your skills in vain. You will be punished with thirty whips and seize all the ranks and treatments, and you will be sent to the dance team to redeem yourself in front of the formation with white body... Are you convinced?"

Cao Shixiong said again:

"The villain is convinced..."

Zhou Mengnan gave in a complicated expression and was then taken out to serve his sentence, which turned into a thrust sound of being beaten.

Then Cao Shixiong called out another name:

"Li Yuyuan!"

"Subordinate is..."

Li Yuyuan, who had been transferred from the commander of Guoyi to the commander of Zhechong since the Battle of Huainan, couldn't help but his scalp numb and quickly bowed out. He heard Cao Shixiong's solemn order:

"As the left-wing commander, you have never restrained your subordinates from attacking without authorization, and you are also obviously hesitant and slow in the subsequent situation. You should be subject to military law; you should be punished with twenty military sticks, first ten sticks, temporarily record ten sticks, and be demoted to the second level to the rank of lieutenant, waiting for the army to perform in the future and subsequent performance!"

"promise.."

Li Yuyuan was frowning and felt relieved when he saw Baon accepting it, and turned around without hesitation to receive the punishment. However, Cao Shixiong continued to shout the next name:

"Liu Jiwei!"

"The humble one..."

The former general of Huqiu Town, Suzhou, Jiangdong Road, and the current commander of the White Soldiers, Liu Jiwei, came forward and responded:

Seeing him, Cao Shixiong's expression couldn't help but slow down, and said in a steady and peaceful tone:

"You have responded properly in the Mingde Gate and promptly responded to and protected the people who were driven into trenches. You should praise them as the example of being preached in the army. You should first remember the merits of Class C and Class III, and leave them to the war and discuss the rewards together."

"Thank you for your kindness..."

Liu Jiwei couldn't help but thank him happily:

"This is not my kindness, but the regulations of the governor's constitution and system...

However, Cao Shixiong frowned and scolded:

"Thank you for the reward and punishment of the Grand Governor's Office, thank you for the King..."

Liu Jiwei also quickly changed his words and shouted:

After Cao Shixiong announced several names with different rewards and punishments on the spot, he saw Wang Xingkong, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight and had deep eye sockets, and his exposed hands and feet could not hide the cracks and burning marks, was also attracted. Cao Shixiong stopped and took the initiative to greet him:

"But thank you for your hard work these days...

After all, after Cao Shixiong arrived at the city and called the gate to open the city, there were less than a thousand defenders who could stand and barely walk, and most of them were injured to varying degrees. As for the organization of the auxiliary soldiers and armed civilians, they had been broken up and reorganized countless times; even the young and strong women and older children who were protected during the period took up swords and swords as if they were decent, which shows the tragic level of the offensive and defensive battles.

"I wish to create peace again, and I am fortunate to fulfill my mission!"

However, Wang Xingkong bowed his hand hoarsely and said: You can vaguely see his little fingers that are damaged by his left and right hands.

"But, the remaining soldiers in Chang'an City can be replaced and rested, but I have to work extra to stay and continue to help me."

Cao Shixiong continued to say straight to the point:

"This should be a perfect match. Just practice the emptiness and work hard to cooperate..."

Wang Xingkong agreed without hesitation: He was mentally prepared for this. After all, the second reinforcements came from afar, and also needed a person who was familiar with the environment of Chang'an City and had some connections within the Xin Dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty as a team of injuries at the subsequent tactical level. Now who should he choose?

And at the other end of Chang'an City, there are fireworks everywhere in the Daming Palace in the North Nei.

Under the continuous offensive of the government troops, they retreated from the Zhuque Gate in the Imperial City to the Chengtian Gate in the Palace City; they retreated from the Chengtian Gate in the Anti-Chief Gate in the Tai Chi Palace; and then retreated from the Tai Chi Gate step by step to the Zhuming Gate in the Later Inner Court; and then retreated from the East Palace adjacent to the inner court, all the way to the Daming Palace in the Longshou Mountain, and they were also trying hard to listen to something in the rare attack and defense gap.

However, it turned into several Danfeng Gate, which was rushing down the smoke and fire, and climbing towards Hanyuan Hall, the highest point of Longshou Mountain. After only a while, Huang Chao, who was still being carried on the imperial chariot but became more and more depressed, also got some reward, suddenly flipped his eyes and danced to stand up, but after several failed efforts, he screamed with passion:

"Haha, the Taiping Army is here, the reinforcements are really here... Haha... Hahaha."

"Come on, wear my armor with me. I want to lead the army to fight through the old dynasty dogs all over the city. It's great to......"

However, whether it was the palace servants and eunuchs waiting by the side, or the several strong men in charge of carrying the carriage, they looked indifferently in the other direction, where there were Empress Cao and her group who rushed from the Mingtang after hearing the news. She saw her hanging down her long sleeves of brocade without moving, covering her palms that were also excited and trembling, and her face was as usual and ordered to the left and right:

"You are still very confused. Go and wash and prepare for the emperor!!!"
