Thousands of armored men were riding rampant in the passage between cities and towns, their horses' hooves flying like thunder. Lan
It is not impossible to resist the group charge of armored cavalry.
But that requires a complete queue.
There must be many fearless soldiers in the front row, holding five-meter-long anti-horse dragon spears to reduce the cavalry charge.
Behind them are the elites holding Mo Dao, who dare to face the cavalry group directly, and the elites who go forward will be crushed.
In addition, there must be powerful crossbowmen, armed with armor-piercing crossbows and heavy arrows to carry out range attacks.
Only by doing this can one be able to withstand the impact of the armor-breaking cavalry.
The thieves who entered the city were blocked by the high walls of various cities and towns. They continued to divide their troops and fight fiercely with the defenders in the cities and on the blocked roads. The formation was already in chaos. Lan
Soldiers, crossbowmen, and auxiliary troops are scattered everywhere, and there is no time and opportunity to gather together to form a formation.
And those who rush the fastest are also the ones who retreat the fastest.
They turned around and ran towards the city gate like crazy, not only disrupting the friendly troops behind them, but also waving their weapons at the soldiers and horses behind them in order to escape.
Not surprisingly, the fight started naturally.
Li Yunze skillfully led the armored cavalry group, controlled the speed to squeeze and drive away the defeated troops, and played a beautiful reverse bead curtain tactic.
Just like this, they pushed all the way, leaving corpses, wounded soldiers and prisoners all over the long street, forcefully penetrated half of Chang'an City, and pushed back the thieves who rushed into the city back to Yanxing Gate.
At the same time, the defenders on the city wall also began to launch counterattacks from the direction of Chunming Gate and Furong Garden on both sides. They drove down the thieves on the tall and spacious city wall and recaptured the gate tower of Yanxing Gate. Lan
When the excited Huang Chao sat in a newly built golden sedan chair and prepared to enter Chang'an City from Yanxing Gate to realize his lifelong dream, what he saw was a large group of defeated troops escaping from the city gate like a flood.
The furious Huang Chao ordered Li Chu, who was accompanying him, to lead his men forward to stop the retreating troops.
As soon as the unlucky Li Chu passed by, he was washed away by the defeated troops, and even he himself was submerged under the feet of the defeated troops.
Huang Chao was still angry, but Li Yunze, whose armored stomach was dyed vermilion, rushed out with the armored knights.
"General, leave quickly!"
The people around Huang Chao hurriedly pulled him off the golden sedan and fled wildly on horseback.
When Li Yunze saw the golden sedan, he immediately smiled and said, "You gave me another one."
He led his armored cavalry to drive the defeated troops around the city wall of Chang'an and swept away the attacking soldiers. During this period, when passing through Guanghua Gate and Myeongde Gate, he entered the city twice to change horses.
The thieves who attacked the city were completely defeated, all the siege equipment was destroyed, and the overwhelming attack was directly defeated.
There is no doubt that this is a huge victory.
After the war, an inventory was conducted and it was found that tens of thousands of thieves who had entered the city were killed, and countless more were killed outside the city.
The total number of captured traitors annihilated should be around 100,000.
In addition, dozens of well-known generals such as Shang Ru, Huang E, Xu Jian, Pi Rixiu, Shen Yunxiang, Pei Zhe, Mi Shi, etc. died.
Although Huang Chao claimed to have an army of 600,000, in fact, almost all the elites who could fight were wiped out or defeated in this battle. Lan
By the time Li Yunze led his troops out of the city the next day, the besieging soldiers had abandoned everything and fled without a trace.
The mighty Huang Chao came all the way from Lingnan and conquered Luoyang, the eastern capital, with great momentum. Countless Tang troops along the way bowed to him and recognized him as their eldest brother.
When I broke through Tongguan and went straight to Chang'an City, I was even more energetic and heroic, with the heroic attitude of having the world in my hands.
But no one expected that the defeat would be so quick and miserable.
In this troubled world, only by having soldiers, money and food in hand can you have everything.
Huang Chao first lost his elite cavalry in martial arts, and then lost his main force when attacking Chang'an City.
So when he fled, the various officers and soldiers who had been wandering around immediately surrounded him and bit him like tigers descending from the mountain. Lan
With a smile on his face, Lu Xie suggested that Li Yunze pursue Huang Chao. After all, killing the enemy chief was the first achievement.
But Li Yunze responded calmly, "Prime Minister, what will the wolf do if he can't eat meat?"
Lu Xie was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously responded, "Eating sex?"
"They will eat people if they can't eat meat." Li Yunze's face darkened. "They will kill good people and take credit for their merits, they will rob the people, and they will vent their anger on everyone."
"It's better to let them fight for Huang Chao's head than to go around doing evil without a goal."
Now Lu Xie understood. He praised Li Yunze repeatedly, saying that Li Yunze was like an ancient sage.
Giving up Nuo Da's credit was just to protect the people from being harmed by warriors. Such high integrity was simply the reincarnation of a saint from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. Lan
"Don't talk nonsense. During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, we were beaten to death. Where did the saint come from?"
Li Yunze raised his brows and signaled to Lu Xie, "Send good news to our Majesty."
In high spirits, Lu returned to the city to write a victory report, while Li Yunze was checking the loot in Huang Chao's abandoned camp.
The two captured gold sedans have been melted down by Li Yunze and brought back to the modern world to exchange money for supplies.
But the rest of the seizures are still like mountains and seas.
The uprising between Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao has been going on for many years. They have fought all over the world and conquered countless cities. Naturally, they have collected countless good things.
Copper coins, silk and silk are all measured in carts, enough to hold hundreds of carts. Lan
Gold and silver are also calculated in boxes. Boxes of gold and silver are placed in front of you, which has a great visual impact.
All kinds of gemstones, agates and pearls, that's a decent amount for the car. I opened a bag and it was filled with treasures.
As for antique calligraphy and painting, there are not many, after all, these things are worthless in troubled times.
Among these treasures, Li Yunze unexpectedly found a good thing.
Yan Liben's "Xiao Yi earns money at Orchid Pavilion".
After careful identification, it is definitely Yan Liben's original work, and it is an orphan that has long been lost in later generations.
Li Yunze immediately accepted it and collected it, planning to hang it at home the next time he went back. Lan
Ordinary goods have long been unable to attract his interest. Even if there are boxes of gold and silver in front of him, to him they are just goods for exchanging materials.
Only rare treasures and antiques are good things that can attract him.
Antiques were taken away, as were gems, agates and pearls. In addition to the rewards given to the sergeants, the rest of the money and cloth were collected and prepared as start-up capital.
In addition, the large amounts of food, bacon, wine, etc. were distributed directly to the sergeants. If there was any leftover, it was distributed to the people in the city.
As for weapons, flags, tents, carts and other military supplies, Li Yunze looked down upon them and selected the good ones to keep while preparing to trade the others with other vassal towns.
Li Yunze, who had always been in a good mood, didn't look down until he saw Shi Nian.
Huang Chao was cruel and often learned from Cheng Yu in making military rations, and these stone mills were his tools. Lan
Looking at the stone mills covered with dark red bloodstains, Li Yunze, with a dark face, called to the Ya soldiers, "Speed up the screening of the prisoners. Anyone with blood on their hands will be disposed of."
Losing the intention to continue reading, Li Yunze stood with his hands behind his back and looked eastward, "Huang Chao, don't die too easily."
There were no clouds in the sky, and the warm sunshine fell on the earth, making people feel warm.
At this time, the Huayin County government office was filled with blood.
Huang Chao, who was remembered by countless people, was vomiting blood at this time.
He wasn't so angry that he vomited blood, but someone pierced his lungs, and he was vomiting blood between breaths.
"You...you..." Lan
Huang Chao, who was trembling all over, raised his finger desperately and pointed at the person in front of him.
Huang Chao's eyes widened with anger, and he hated heaven and earth. He hated himself for being blind and mistaking the person in front of him!
"General."
Zhu Wen, who looked sad, shed tears and said, "For the survival of our brothers, please go on the road."
What Zhu Wen said was sincere. If the sharp blade in his hand wasn't still dripping with blood, he would have looked like a loyal person.
"Beast~~~"
Huang Chao, who was only breathing out but not taking in, finally shouted these words. Lan
Zhu Wen, who looked miserable, stepped forward and said softly, "General, we are at the end of our rope. All the officers and soldiers who voted for us have turned against us. Now there are enemies on all sides, and the brothers just want to survive."
After saying that, regardless of whether Huang Chao could understand it or not, he still said to himself, "General, you insisted on attacking Chang'an City and killed all the elites. It's the general's fault that the brothers have ended up like this. Now brothers If you want to survive, just ask me to do it
Borrow the general's head for use. They are all good brothers who have shared life and death for so many years, so the general will definitely not refuse. "
Huang Chao wanted to refuse, wanted to scold, and wanted to hack Zhu Wen to death.
But he really couldn't do it anymore. His chest hurt more and more, his breathing became more and more rapid, his vision became darker and darker, and his mind became heavier and heavier.
In the end, the famous poet who single-handedly set off the craze that destroyed the Tang Dynasty completely died out of endless pain and unwillingness.
Zhu Wen, who gripped the sharp blade tightly, stepped forward and said, "Well done, General. I'll borrow your head for now." Lan
Just like Zhu Wen said, Huang Chao's army was on the verge of destruction after losing its elite.
The loss of a large number of core generals led to the rapid promotion of Zhu Wen, who was originally only a middle-level officer.
Although Zhu Wen was very capable, he was unable to do anything when faced with siege from all directions.
At this time, if you want to avoid the fate of destruction, the only option is to betray the enemy and take Huang Chao's head in exchange for a way out.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
After killing Huang Chao, he immediately asked for surrender from the imperial court and received the support of Zheng Wei, the former prime minister and the current commander-in-chief of all the Taoist camps around the capital.
】
Zheng Tian felt that enough people had died. Since the thief chief was dead now, he should not continue to kill him. He really couldn't bear it. Lan
It can be seen from this that the scholar-bureaucrats are really not good at it.
At such a critical moment, instead of eradicating the roots, they actively protected the remnants of the bandits and gave them a chance to breathe.
No wonder there will be weird scumbags like Sima Guang in the future who are not satisfied with ceding land and paying compensation, but have to take the initiative to send back the land they conquered.
When the news reached Li Yunze, he immediately took out his notebook and marked Huang Chao's name with a big cross on it.
Then his eyes fell on another name with a bold and enlarged font and a circle drawn to show attention.
"Zhu Wen!"
