Chapter 54: People always don't see coffins and don't cry

"How is this possible?" Liang Shidu really couldn't believe it, with the solidity of Tongwan City, how could Chen Ying enter Tongwan City silently? Liang Shidu asked angrily, "What's going on?" ”

"The generals under Jihu Liu Nu, He Yuepan, the guard of the South City Gate, Feng Duan, and the champion general Li Zhengbao all surrendered without a fight!"

In fact, it's not just surrendering without a fight.

and acted as a leading party, leading the Tang Army soldiers into Tongwan City.

At this time, Liang Shidu stood on the terrace of the palace, looking out.

I saw that a large number of Liang soldiers were walking in front of the Tang army soldiers, each of them with two large meat buns, or using helmets as rice bowls, filled with rice, soup cakes, and leading the way while eating.

There is no need to fight at all, when encountering the Liang soldiers, the Tang soldiers directly picked up a big bamboo basket on the spear, which contained big meat buns or steamed buns, and the Liang soldiers looked at the big meat buns, and invariably put down the blades, and reached out to grab the steamed buns, in front of the Tang army soldiers, these Liang soldiers fought for me, very lively.

After snatching the big meat buns, these Liang soldiers were not shy to act as the leading party.

The soldiers of the Tang Army opened the way with big meat buns and white-flour steamed buns, and everywhere they went, the soldiers of the Liang Army along the way all passed on the handover, and the efficiency was staggering.

Chen Ying's trick is called a red heart, two preparations. If the Liang army can't be smashed by food, the officers and men of the Tang army will take a strong attack. Although Chen Ying wanted to appease Liang Jun, he didn't want to continue to bleed. After all, there were too many people who died at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and if they could die as little as possible, they would die as little as possible. After all, the human head is not a leek, and it can't grow after being cut. Although he wants to appease, Chen Ying will not tolerate the diehards.

What kind of appeasement conditions are offered, he must have the final say, and Liang Shi has no capital to bargain with him!

The Liang division did not have time to arrange defenses at all, and the soldiers of the Tang Army and the soldiers of the Liang Army who defected, more than 30,000 people, all the way to the palace of Tongwancheng.

The imperial palace of Tongwan City accounts for almost a quarter of Tongwan City. Like the Chang'an Imperial Palace, it has a complete city defense function.

From the time the Tang army entered the city, the Liang division received the news. By the time the Tang soldiers surrounded the Tongwancheng Palace, it took only two quarters of an hour before and after, and the Tang soldiers almost trotted all the way forward.

The soldiers of the Liang army and the Liang division standing in the palace city were surprised to find that hundreds of trebuchets appeared in the Tang army's array at this time.

In this era, trebuchets, like bed crossbows, all have no wheels, and when they move, they are carried by people. However, Chen Ying was all transplanted to the four-wheeled carriage, especially the eight-ox ballista, and if the winding was completed, it could be fired even in the process of advancing.

Of course, there is no way to guarantee accuracy at all.

In addition to more than a hundred trebuchets, there are also hundreds of eight-oxen ballistae...... These vehicles Liang Shi can understand, after all, Chen Ying will definitely be ready to attack, but the dozens of Saimen knife carts that appeared outside the palace city made it difficult for Liang Shi to accept.

These Saimen knife carts were built by the Liang division themselves to prevent the Tang army from breaking through the city gate, so as to stop the Tang army soldiers in the city, but the Liang soldiers who surrendered immediately pushed the Saimen knife cart and blocked all the nine palace gates of the palace city.

The steps of the officers and men of the Tang Army Dingyuan Army were uniform, like a huge machine moving forward, their silence was palpitating, and the neat and powerful steps seemed to have some kind of hypnotic magic, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of them, as long as Chen Ying did not shout to stop, they would all walk over in the dark like now, until they were swallowed.

Such an army was the most terrifying, and thin beads of sweat appeared on Liang Shidu's forehead.

Liang Shidu looked at it and muttered, "What a strong soldier...... How did they do it? ”

Liu Sheng's face turned pale, and Ai Ai said: "Fortunately, we didn't meet them before, otherwise the bones would have been beating!" ”

Liang Shidu said with a gloomy face: "Didn't the prince of Liu Renliang say that they plan to appease us?" Why did they send a large army to attack us? They don't talk much! ”

As he was talking, the officers and men of the Tang Army had stopped about fifty steps away from Dazhai, and made it clear that there was no bed crossbow for bullying Liang Shi. In fact, there are a lot of bed crossbows in Liang Shidu, all of which are placed on the outer city wall of Tongwan City, at this time, the Tang army soldiers are busy disassembling the bed crossbows, and after simple modifications, they immediately converted the vacated baggage into a four-wheeled ballista gun truck.

The infantry of the Tang Army were separated on both sides, and Liu Renliang rode a horse Shi Ran over, bowed his hand to Liang Shidu on the wall in front of the gate, and said, "Lord Liang, we meet again!" ”

Liang Shidu was shocked and angry: "The surname is Liu, what do you mean?" Didn't you say that you want to appease us, why take advantage of our unpreparedness to send a large army to attack? Don't you think you're too deceitful? ”

A young general, also dressed in black armor, rode up and said loudly, "This is my idea. ”

Liu Sheng asked, "Who are you?" ”

Liu Renliang explained: "The contemptible surname is Chen, the name is Ying, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the Duke of Liangguo, and the hussar general. ”

Liang Shidu actually thought that Chen Ying was out, after all, he was once chased by Chen Ying like a rabbit to the sky and no way to enter the ground, and he couldn't know Chen Ying if he didn't want to. Liang Shi pointed to the army that was black and oppressive, and he was panicked in his heart, and asked in a cold voice: "General Chen, this is how you appeased?" ”

Chen Ying nodded and said seriously: "That's right!" ”

He looked around at everyone proudly and said, "On the condition of ensuring your life safety and the future of your children, this great general asked you to surrender unconditionally, but you refused, I have to say, this is not a smart approach. ”

Liu Sheng shouted: "Let go of your mother's stinky fart!" Lao Tzu led tens of thousands of brothers to crisscross the northwest, eating fragrant and drinking spicy food, what a carefree day it was! But if you accept your appeasement, there is nothing, what is it? It's better to continue the rebellion! ”

Chen Ying pursed his lips and said lightly: "My mouth is really stinky......

Just then, a loud bang rang out.

Chen Ying didn't have to look back at all, only to see a few eight-bull crossbow operators, who had already aimed at the eight-bull crossbow on the city gate.

With a piercing sound of breaking the air.

Twelve six-foot-long ballistas, like a wall, flew towards the city gate.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only more than fifty steps, and the speed of the eight-bull crossbow was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he flew to the city gate tower, twelve crossbow guns, three of which accurately hit Liu Sheng.

The half-crescent-style arrow directly cut off Liu Sheng's left and right arms, and killed him on the city wall, and there was no life in an instant.

A general of the Liang army wanted to say: "If you really want to appease us, give us an official like a general manager!" ”

However, seeing that Chen Ying didn't agree with a word, he directly ordered the Eight Bull Crossbow to shoot, and he forcibly held back the words in his heart.

Chen Ying smiled playfully and said: "General Ben asks you to surrender unconditionally, you must surrender unconditionally, as for how to settle after surrendering, General Ben said it, you are not qualified to bargain with me!" ”

Liang Shidu said angrily: "Then you still appease a fart, just start fighting, who is afraid of whom!" ”

Liu Renliang hurriedly said, "Everyone...... Don't be impulsive...... If you can't win, don't struggle......"

Chen Ying raised his hand to stop Liu Renliang from continuing, choked and pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, threw it to the ground, and the sharp high manganese steel horizontal knife was nailed into the ground, swaying from side to side, and a cold light like autumn water shone dazzlingly.

Chen Ying pointed to the horizontal knife and said, "I'll give you one last chance, it's too late to change your mind before this horizontal knife stops swinging." ”

In response to him, there was an earth-shattering trumpet, and several leaders who were so angry were already blowing the trumpets to gather their elites.

Liu Renliang asked Chen Ying in a low voice: "Does it have to be like this?" ”

Chen Ying said a little helplessly: "Liang Shidu's subordinates, either rogue bandits, or habitual bandits for many years, or the leader of the Hu clan, have done too many things to kill people and set fire to the state government, and they are wild and untamable. ”

Liu Renliang also understood this truth, but he knew very well how terrifying the combat effectiveness of Chen Ying's subordinates was, once the fight started, it would definitely be a river of blood, thinking of those hungry Liang Jun, he really couldn't bear it.

But what can you do if you can't bear it, if you don't subdue Liang Jun first, once they suddenly make trouble after being placed in the place, there will be more dead people!

The swing of the horizontal knife became smaller and smaller, but the Liang army assembled was more and more, the palace gate opened, and the elite soldiers of the Liang army in the brigade came out with swords and shields in hand. There is no need to wait for the horizontal knife to stop, their actions have already given the answer.

Chen Ying sighed: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears!" ”

patted Liu Renliang and motioned for him to follow, and the two rode back to the middle of the army. At this time, the Liang army, which led the way for the new army of the Tang Army, also showed signs of instability, after all, it was after so many years of licking blood with a knife, and as soon as the stomach was full, there was a different kind of thought...... This army is only six or seven thousand people at most, and they have tens of thousands, so it is not difficult to eat them......

At this moment, more than a hundred trebuchets began to speak first.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The clay pots were flying from the air and smashed towards the soldiers of the Liang army.

These elites of the Liang army were suddenly in chaos, but they calmed down and found that these trebuchets were actually embroidered pillows, which were useless.

After all, the main lethality of trebuchets relies on the kinetic energy of stone bullets, as long as the ricocheting projectile is formed, the stone bullet will set off a flesh alley in the enemy's formation.

However, these clay pots fell to the ground and shattered, and lost their kinetic energy in an instant. Although the fragments also killed and injured many elites of the Liang army, this was only a few after all.

A strong smell of fire oil came from the air, and Liang Shidu's face changed greatly.

Almost at the same time, a rain of meteors came out of the Tang army's array.

That's right, the trebuchet is emitting a canister of oil, and it is a fire oil that has been refined by the Chen Ying Earth method. When this oil meets a rocket, it immediately forms a sea of fire.

Within thirty steps in front of the palace gate and fifty steps on the city wall, a sea of fire was formed.

The soldiers of the Liang army in the sea of fire screamed miserably, struggled, and let out a terrible howl.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Liang army, including the Liang division, were all frightened and froze in place and did not dare to move.

The soldiers of the Liang army hesitated, they were stunned, but the soldiers of the Tang army were definitely not idle.

The trebuchet troops continued to fire oil canisters, and the crossbowmen fired rockets.

As the trebuchet's oil tank moved backwards to the ground, as the sea of fire continued to grow, more and more Liang soldiers were swallowed up by the sea of fire.

Liang Shidu's lips trembled slightly, but his tone was still very hard, and he shouted loudly: "Rush out and fight with them!" ”

However, none of the surrounding Liang soldiers dared to move.

Those Liang Jun troops who were originally fluctuating in their minds were as docile as kittens at the moment.

The Tang army had no intention of fighting with the Liang soldiers at all, they only cared about firing crossbows at the palace city with bed crossbows, and this kind of crossbow guns flew towards the palace wall like a flying wall.

The soldiers above, like wheat that had been cut down, were laid down on the ground in rows.

A ballista is not like a crossbow arrow, the power of a crossbow gun is extremely high, and if a human body is shot by a crossbow arrow, how can a whole corpse be left. However, the crossbow gun is different, the flat arrow of the half-crescent type, when it hits the arm, the arm is directly cut off, and when it is shot in the waist, it is directly cut in the waist.

Countless soldiers of the Liang Army were shot by the crossbow of the Eight Bulls and shot into a pile of minced meat.

As for trebuchets, it's even simpler. A canister weighing 50 catties smashed over, which is enough to form a sea of fire of more than 100 square meters, and the key is that it is too late to run.

This is not a battle at all, but a one-sided slaughter.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Liang Army who surrendered knelt neatly in front of Chen Ying's war horse, howling and crying: "General, don't fight, let's go and persuade you to surrender!" ”

China is a society linked by human affection, and most of the soldiers of the Liang army have some connections, relatives and friends, or relatives and friends, and it is certainly impossible to be indifferent to their senseless and tragic deaths.

Chen Ying did not stop, but waved his hand.

Thousands of Tang Army soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Surrender unconditionally, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

Liang Shidu and the others were separated by the sea of fire, listening to the roar like thunder, and immediately responded: "Don't fight, we surrender, we surrender......"

Listening to the sound of a mountain crying for mercy from the opposite side, Chen Ying ordered to stop.

Of course, these corpses are the corpses of the soldiers of the Liang army, who were shot to death by crossbow guns, or stoned to death by trebuchets, burned to death by fire oil cans, horizontal and vertical, the twisted corpses, and the wounded soldiers who fell in a pool of blood, all made the rogues face like earth, and the two sides trembled.

The vast majority of those who died were the elite of Liang Shidu when he started. They died so many people, but the casualties caused to the officers and men of the Tang Army were pitiful!

If it weren't for the fact that a soldier smashed the oil canister to form a sea of fire and burned two trebuchet, I am afraid that the casualties of the officers and men of the Tang Army would have remained in single digits.

In just a quarter of an hour, at least more than 3,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured, and such a disparity in battle loss ratio could not be more intuitive to reflect the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides.

While cleaning up the battlefield, the officers and men of the Tang Army disarmed these surrendered troops on the spot.

More than 100 generals of the Liang Army, both large and small, knelt in front of Chen Ying together with Liang Shidu.

Chen Ying looked at Liang Shidu condescendingly and said, "Liang Shidu, don't you mention the conditions?" ”

No one was silent.

The example is in front of you, and whoever goes to put forward the conditions must have his head in water. Chen Ying demanded that they surrender unconditionally, this iron will could not be changed, they had already paid a terrible price for disobeying this will, and they were not qualified to bargain with Chen Ying.

"Alright, it's time for me to make the conditions." Chen Ying looked around at everyone, and almost none of them dared to face his gaze directly. He held up a finger: "First, you must hand over all your mules, horses, and wealth, and we will leave you three months' living expenses, and how you live in the future depends on your ability!" ”

The soldiers of the Liang army could only accept it in silence.

"Second: you must hand over all your weapons, and you must not leave any of them!"

"Thirdly: your troops must be disbanded, and not a single soldier will be left. We will scatter and resettle you, maybe to Liaodong, maybe to the Western Regions, or some to Jiannan, Huguang, anyway, no matter where you are settled, there will always be food for you, provided that you must cooperate, but also be able to endure hardships, we don't raise idlers! ”

The Liang division responded silently, and other appeasement ambassadors dared to propose to disband their troops and disperse them, they had already bombed the camp, but now they nodded like chickens pecking rice. With an army that can crush itself to death like ants, that is to die.

Chen Ying said: "Since everyone has no opinion, then ......" pointed to a row of four-wheeled carriages, "line up, put weapons on the cart, then eat something, and then go with us to wait for the placement." ”

The soldiers of the Liang army looked blank, walked over in line, and threw their weapons into the car.

Shields, swords, spears, swords, hammers, ...... All sorts of guys, all sorts of guys, loaded car after car.

More than a dozen cooking trucks drove over, and the gang leader army pulled out a drawer of steaming buns and steamed buns from the car, beckoned the people of Tongwancheng, and distributed them according to the head.

It's still the old rule, women and children are given priority, young and strong go to the back, and the soldiers of the Liang army are the last, and whoever cuts the line will wait to be beaten.
