Chapter 496

"Mr. Ye, why don't you arrange to take advantage of the opportunity to sleep in the middle of the night, ignite gunpowder, explode the city wall, and take advantage of the situation to attack the city, so that the thieves are not prepared enough?"

Ye Chang was about to use gunpowder to explode the city, and it was no longer a secret at this time. Therefore, when Ye Chang gave the order, Chunming beside him asked curiously.

"If we face a strong enemy, it would be better to choose the second half of the night, but are there any strong enemies in the city now?" Ye Chang laughed and said, "A group of scared people are just using the station to strengthen the courage of the city. If I peeled off their seemingly solid shell in front of them, how would they choose?"

There are nearly 200,000 rebels in the city, but it does not mean that these 200,000 people are An Lushan and Shi Siming's confidant death soldiers. Although most of them are subordinates who can rebel with them, if they really cannot do anything, they may not be willing to die with An Lushan and Shi Siming.

Even if An Lushan could control the generals' families to threaten them, he could not control every soldier. If the city wall was broken, how could these soldiers have the will to fight to the death? They had already been fat in Chang'an City. The only idea was to put on makeup and escape back to their hometown to be a rich man.

And all the soldiers fled, and what's the use of leaving only those generals?

"Also, Bian Ping received the news that An Lushan was also prepared in Chang'an City. He wanted to give me a fire city. If I were An Lushan, I would definitely choose to break through and escape before bombing the city and abandon my tail to survive. Like you, he must have thought that I was bombing the city in the second half of the night, and would never have thought that I would take action just after noon."

Speaking of this, Ye Chang stood with his hands behind his back, and Chang'an City stood like a mountain in front of him.

"It's almost done." Ye Chang murmured after taking out his pocket watch.

Pocket watches are also new products of Liaodong Watch Workshop. Their current size is still relatively large, with a palm square. And because only the best craftsmen can make their accuracy by hand, the output is extremely low. If you sell it on the market, you will be worth tens of thousands of cents.

The time displayed on the pocket watch is 12:14 noon.

When the time of the pocket watch was twelve and fifteen, the rumbling sound of the underground sounded, and Chang'an City began to shake violently. The people in the city, whether they were soldiers or civilians, were panicked and scattered. After the shaking of the earth was over, they looked around in a daze, wanting to know what had just happened.

If you are close to the North City of Chang'an and the East City, you can see that a large section of the city wall collapsed on the north and east of Chang'an City, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

The gap in the city wall is more than ten feet long, and the collapse is several times higher than that. Such drastic changes have scared those who see this scene, both soldiers and the people.

All the rumors about Ye Chang came to their hearts again.

Especially the soldiers of Anshi and his men, in the news of the loss of Tongguan in Chang'an City a few days ago, there was a saying that Ye Chang summoned heavenly thunder and smashed the gatehouse. What happened today is so similar to the rumors. It was a thunder underground, and then the subway city swayed and the city wall collapsed.

Not only that, at that time, there was also a general Cai Xide in Tongguan who was killed by lightning. This time, there were hundreds of soldiers who were killed or injured in two sections of the city walls on Chang'an City, and even turned into powder and bones without any remaining.

As the city wall collapsed, the Tang army began to attack. An Lushan and Shi Siming were not unprepared. Although they were wrong about the time when Ye Chang started, they arranged reserve troops on the edge of the city early, and just waited for the case that these reserve troops would block the gap. However, the city wall collapsed so much that even the moat outside the city was filled with collapsed stones. How could these ordinary soldiers be shocked?

How much does it cost to block such a big gap? Moreover, Ye Chang also has powerful soldiers like grenades. In addition, if they go to block the city, if Ye Chang summons the divine thunder again, wouldn’t it be for nothing?

Originally, there were only two spiritual pillars of the defenders in the city, one was the awe of An and Shi Zhi, and the other was the confidence in the Chang'an City. But now, almost in a blink of an eye, one of the pillars had collapsed, and the previous internal strife in Anshi also caused another pillar to shake.

Therefore, I don’t know who took the lead, but these rebels almost didn’t hesitate and fled. There were only a few people going to block the gap in the city wall.

Even if there are still a few loyalists who are loyal to An and Shi, they have to escape after seeing that only a few of them are left.

An Lushan was watching his confidant pack up his things. He had made up his mind to set fire to the city tonight and then break through and flee far away.

"What sound?"

When the explosion came, he jumped up suddenly, frightened.

Because of Shi Siming's internal strife, he moved from Xingqing Palace to Daming Palace. The Daming Palace was in the north of the city, not far from the bombed wall. The vibration came, and with the loud noise, An Lushan already understood that Ye Chang had exploded the wall in the daytime.

Shouldn't it be at night? Ye Chang's dog thief has never claimed to be loving the lives of soldiers. Is it more beneficial to siege the city at night?

An Lushan was completely confused. After a while, he suddenly realized: Now is not the time to reflect on his mistakes, but to find a way to get out of it.

"Yan Zhuang, the man Yan Zhuang, call him here quickly," he shouted repeatedly, and then called out the names of his trusted generals. These people are the ones he trusted and the core force he is ready to escape from Chang'an. Since he has made up his mind to cut off his tail and survive, he is ready to give up everyone except these people.

After clicking these names, he remembered another thing: "Where is Qingxu, let him act, let him act quickly."

He roared and shouted, and the warriors in the yard were in chaos. He lost his calmness at this moment, waved the whip he had grabbed from somewhere, and whipped whoever he saw, making the yard even more chaotic.

After shouting for a while, I saw a familiar figure rolling over, but it was An Qingxu.

"Father, it's bad, it's bad, the North City and the East City were blown up at the same time. Now the Tang army has entered the city. Although our army is still resisting, it can't hold on for long..."

"Where is Yan Zhuang, where did this dog thief Yan Zhuang go?"

"It ran away. The child heard that he had already run away and the personal soldiers couldn't find anyone."

"What, Yan Zhuang ran away?" An Lushan finally woke up a little while after hearing this and asked blankly.

"Father, now we still care about what he does. We have to leave!"

"Come here, find Yan Zhuang for me. I want to kill his whole family. I want to eat meat and sleep with his skin. Of course, if it weren't for his instigation, how could I plan to rebel and rebel!" An Lushan was furious again. He felt the blood surge and his eyes turned black. He could have seen a little vision in a vague way, but now he can't see anything.

The reason he was yelling wildly was that he was very clear in his heart. He knew that he had no way out this time. His original plan to survive was completely invalid because of Ye Chang's abnormal siege time. Ye Chang was already ready, but his preparation for escape was not yet ready, and even if he wanted to leave, it would be difficult to escape.

"Father, don't worry about Yan Zhuang, what should we do? Make a decision." Although An Qingxu was speechless on weekdays, he spoke smoothly at this time.

"Yes, yes, make an idea... Qingxu, do you remember what I arranged for you? I ignite the fire, ignite me everywhere in Chang'an. Even if I die, I will let Ye Chang and me be burned to death. Li Longji, you can't get anything."

Hearing his father's voice as crazy as he was, An Qingxu finally understood that he was still counting on his father to make a decision at this time, and that was purely waiting for death. He was about to leave without saying a word, but An Lushan grabbed his neck.

"Father, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go." Feeling that his father had completely lost his judgment ability, An Qingxu shouted.

"Also, kill them all, Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er, kill them all, and then you die too, accompany me to die!"

An Qingxu shivered suddenly: "Father..."

"Kill quickly, kill the pigs, come here and kill me!"

An Lushan, who could not see anything in his eyes, was filled with fear at this moment. The more he understood in his heart, the more crazy he became, and even thought about pulling the world to destroy it with him.

Li Zhu'er was trembling and looked at An Qingxu begging for mercy. An Qingxu was thinking about how to get rid of An Lushan. At this moment, An Lushan shouted: "Why don't you take action? Yes, yes, you want to rebel too. I should have killed you long ago, and I should have killed you long ago. Make Qingen the crown prince. He is much better than you, you... "

An Lushan said, while jamming An Qingxu's throat, intending to strangle him to death. Although he was suffering from injuries, he was fat and powerful. An Qingxu struggled with all his strength, but he couldn't break free. He was unable to speak and had difficulty breathing. He was anxious and uneasy, so he could only look at Li Zhuer who was standing aside.

Li Zhu'er was so scared that she was trembling there, facing his eyes, and suddenly understood what he meant.

An Lushan is already crazy, killing his son or slave, he will kill anyone

If An Lushan killed An Qingxu, how could he, Li Zhuer, survive?

At this time, Li Zhu'er didn't know that An Lushan had completely blinded due to the surging blood. He only knew that An Lushan would never let him go. Therefore, he gritted his teeth, rushed over, pulled out the sword from An Qingxu's waist, and stabbed into An Lushan's abdomen.

An Lushan felt the severe pain in his abdomen, so he relaxed his hand and took two steps back. When he touched his abdomen, he felt wet and covered in blood.

"It must be the inner thief who harmed me." An Lushan sighed and fell to the ground.

An Qingxu, who broke free, rubbed his neck and looked at An Lushan on the ground with horror. An Lushan was not dead yet, and was lying on the ground panting. An Qingxu looked up at the surroundings and found that the warriors in the yard had all escaped when An Lushan was crazy.

"What should I do?" he thought to himself.

Although he is good at archery, horse riding and shooting, he has been feeling inferior for a long time because of some stuttering. The one who made the decision before was either An Lushan or Yan Zhuang, but now he has to make his own decisions. For a moment, he can't help but be at a loss.

"By the way, there is still one person to ask for..."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered someone and immediately stepped out the door. He found that Li Zhuer was following him, and couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone betrayed their relatives, but they ended up being this

He finally gathered hundreds of troops, and after going to the street, he captured the scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers running around, gathered more than a thousand people, and then rushed to the east. He grabbed the retreating defeated soldiers along the way and asked, and learned that Shi Siming had retreated to the south of the city, he turned south. At this time, killing sounds were heard everywhere in Chang'an City. An Qingxuhuan looked around and there were not many people who arranged for arson to carry out the orders. He knew in his heart that the dead soldiers were probably already having their own plans at this time, but they could not pursue them.

Although Chang'an City is large, it has an end. Not long after, An Qingxu arrived at Shi Siming's side. Shi Siming's army was also uneven, and there were not many people around him. Seeing his troops coming from afar, he immediately took a warning attitude. An Qingxu came forward and shouted in person. Shi Siming came out to meet him. An Qingxu was shocked when he saw Shi Siming's appearance.

Shi Siming was next to the city wall when the explosion occurred. He ordered people to continue to monitor the movements underground, so the collapsed rocks hit him. Although he was lucky enough to save his life, his whole head was covered with gauze. At this time, he was frightened and angry. When he saw An Qingxu, he sternly said: "Where is An Lushan? Could it be that he had his tail cut off and wanted to survive, even your son?"

An Qingxu didn't dare to say that An Lushan was stabbed by Li Zhu'er and didn't know his life or death. He cried: "The father was seriously ill and could no longer support him. I was ordered to surrender to Uncle Shi and ask his uncle to take shelter."

Shi Siming was shocked and was about to refuse, but when he saw the soldiers behind An Qingxu, he suddenly changed his mind: "Since that's the case, you and I might as well join forces. Now there is a city gate in my hands, so we will leave the city immediately."

What he said was still in his hands. In fact, the gate of Qujiangchi was the water gate. There were fewer Tang troops here. After nearly 3,000 of their troops rushed out, they did not dare to go east, but could only go south and escape to the continuous peaks of the Nanshan Mountain.

But after only a few miles away, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and smoke and dust covered the sky, and it was obvious that the army was chasing him. Seeing this, Shi Siming turned to An Qingxu and said, "It's urgent. Today, I want to escape, but I can only do it separately.

An Qingxu was stunned: "How to act separately?"

"You and I will take the headquarters, and you can escape as many as you can." Shi Siming said.

"But……"

"If you don't agree, we will fight now." Shi Siming said sternly: "All disasters are caused by your father and son. If you give your first prize to Ye Chang, you may be able to save my life."

When he said this, his eyes showed a fierce light, which was so shocked that An Qingxu retreated repeatedly and could only take his own headquarters.

Seeing that he was still facing south, a sharp light flashed in Shi Siming's eyes. He looked back at his side and said to a relative: "Duan Qinu, how should I treat you?"

"The general treats me as much as a mountain of kindness, and I am willing to die for the general," Duan Qinu said.

"Since that's the case, choose a lame horse and leave some injuries to yourself. Wait here. When the pursuers come here, they will ask you where I am going. You said you are going there." Shi Siming pointed in the direction where An Qingxu left.
