Chapter 205: The Terrible Nation

The Gaochang army at the head of the city was shocked when they heard this, and the camp was robbed, which was a big deal, and now their rear was empty, if the commander was killed or captured, their woolen combat achievements were gone, so the Gaochang sergeants returned to the defense and went down the city tower.

Looking at everything in front of him, Li Hao couldn't believe that this was true, almost thinking that he was dreaming, and the other soldiers also felt this way.

At this moment, it was almost evening, Li Hao ran to the female wall and looked at the enemy's formation, only to see a thousand elite cavalry rushing to kill in the enemy formation, as if entering a no-man's land, brave and unmatched, it can be seen from the armor and military uniforms that it is the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, although the Gaochang army was embarrassed by the day of the battle, there were three or four thousand people in the array, and they were killed by them, and Zhang Meng was so frightened that he fled wildly, but fortunately, more than 5,000 soldiers who retreated from the city came at this time, which made him feel a little relieved.

"Tang Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang General Chen Bin is here! Who dares to step forward! Chen Bin stood proudly on his horse, his spear pointed directly at the Gaochang army that had retreated from the city, silver spears and silver armor, scarlet cloaks danced in the wind, and he shouted violently, and all the five thousand troops were shocked, and no one dared to move.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng was furious, stretched out his hand to Chen Bin, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing in a daze, kill them!" ”

"Kill!" Hearing this, the Gaochang army in the rear and in front rushed towards the 1,000 Zuo Wuwei, forming a flank attack in front and rear, in a vain attempt to engulf the 1,000 Zuo Wuwei in one fell swoop.

"Humph! Bring about one's own destruction! Chen Bin was like a spear, and shouted deeply: "Kill!" With that, he took the lead and rushed towards the Gaochang army that had retreated from the city.

The Tang cavalry, invincible in the world, this sentence is not blown out, but killed. Zuo Wuwei is the elite of the Tang Dynasty, even if there are five thousand Gaochang cavalry in front of him, Chen Bin is fearless, not to mention five thousand infantry, and it is five thousand infantry who have been fighting fiercely for a day.

The cavalry entered the battle, such as destroying the withering and decaying, rushing directly to the end, only one round of rushing and killing, the enemy was scattered, and the corpses were left all over the ground, on the other hand, Zuo Wuwei, did not dare to say that he was unscathed, but no one fell off the horse.

A burst of killing, it called the Gaochang army is broken, the disparity in strength, not at all at the same level, Zhang Meng also found that something was wrong, without saying a word, turned his head and fled, with the personal guards riding horses and galloping, those soldiers saw that the commander had fled, and immediately screamed in panic, lost their armor, and fled in all directions.

"Captain Zhang Qingle of Zhenwei! Take 300 men and chase them east! ”

"Yes!"

"Captain Zhenwei Chen Xiangyu! Take 300 men and chase them west! ”

"Yes!"

"Captain Chen Chao of Zhenwei! Take 300 men and chase them south! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Bin ordered his three lieutenants to pursue the enemy in separate directions, and he himself came to the city gate with a hundred left guards and rode his horses, and shouted: "The holy decree has arrived!" Tingzhou stabbed history, Tingzhou folded and rushed to the lieutenant Li Hao to receive the order! ”

Everyone in the city was excited when they heard this, this Chen Bin actually brought the emperor's holy decree, Li Hao stood on the city wall at the moment, according to the rules, when receiving the decree, he must not stand higher than the person who announced the decree, otherwise it will be regarded as a great disrespect, except for one point, that is, on the city wall.

Li Hao led everyone to kneel on the ground, and replied loudly: "Weichen Li Hao takes the order!" ”

Chen Bin unfolded the holy decree and recited it with full vigor: "If the sky does not give birth to Yao Shun, it will be like a long night for thousands of years, and if the earth does not produce Yu soup, all the people will be like it." The sage of the sage, open the road to reason, admonish future generations, say loyalty, say serve the country, say etiquette, say honesty, the people are still like this, and the king will add more. Or say, the people also carry the boat, and the people also overturn the boat......"

This holy decree is not too difficult, Li Hao can understand it, the general meaning is that if the holy lord like Yao Shunyu Tang does not appear, then the world will be in chaos, the sages of the Holy Ming have created a great truth to warn future generations, to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, to understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, the people have already understood, so the emperor should understand these truths, some people have said, the people can support an emperor, can also overthrow a dynasty, so I want to be a good emperor, very, very good emperor, since I want to be a good emperor, I must reward and punish clearly, Now there is a young hero, Li Hao, the assassin of Tingzhou, he is very good, very good, he is wise and brave, wins glory for the country, and all kinds of good, so I want to reward him, restore Li Hao's title of Lantian County man, and be promoted to a guerrilla general from the fifth grade, and be awarded the rank of martial arts lieutenant from the seventh grade.

This is actually a holy decree dedicated to rewarding Li Hao, the front is all nonsense, Li Hao is used to it, after the mountain shouts long live, Li Hao got up and said: "General Chen Bin, the city gate has been blocked by the soil, you wait for a while, the official will send someone to remove the dirt bags piled up behind the city gate." ”

"Master Li doesn't need to be tired." Chen Bin said, "The humble post is to go up on your own." ”

After he finished speaking, he asked the soldiers to erect a ladder, and then stepped on the ladder on the wall, the almost vertical ladder must be used with both hands and feet to climb up, but in order not to stain the holy decree in his hand, Chen Bin only used his feet, as if walking on the ground, Lu Yun couldn't help but praise when he saw this: "Good skills, this person's martial arts are no less than Li Yuanzhong." ”

Li Yuanzhong covered the wound on his arm with his hand and nodded slowly: "General Chen Bin is a first-class master in the Chang'an army, I have studied with him, and I regret defeat." ”

Just as they were talking, Chen Bin suddenly jumped, jumped on the city, and handed the holy decree to Li Hao, who bowed down and took the holy decree with both hands and handed it to Lu Yun.

Chen Bin had no holy decree in his hand, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said: "The rescue of the lowly duty is late, so that the adults are frightened, and the lowly duties are guilty, please punish the adults!" ”

Li Hao was taken aback and wanted to reach out to help him, but found that the other party's strength was too great, and he couldn't lift it at all, mainly because he had lost too much blood and was very weak at the moment.

"Hurry up, hurry up, please get up." Li Hao called urgently, Li Yuanzhong stepped forward at the right time to pull Chen Bin up, Chen Bin saw Li Yuanzhong, and then saw Peng Hai, and suddenly said with a slight surprise: "General Li and General Peng are also here!" ”

Peng Hai nodded and said: "The two of us are ordered to protect the safety of Lord Li, where Lord Li is, we will go, where the duty is, we dare not slack off." ”

Hearing this, Chen Bin arched his hand and said: "I am responsible for escorting 3,000 armaments to Tingzhou this time, but in fact, I also came to defend Lord Li by His Majesty's secret order, which shows how much Your Majesty values Lord Li." ”

Li Hao was moved for a while when he heard this: "Li Hao, how can he be so gracious, he is really flattered by His Majesty's grace." ”

At this time, Chen Bin said again: "When we passed through the sandbank, we happened to meet the messenger sent from Tingzhou in the post house, and learned the news of Gaochang's invasion of Tingzhou. ”

Li Hao said gratefully: "General Chen, this time you saved the lives of the people of Tingzhou, thank you very much, this official will definitely ask for credit to Your Majesty for you." ”

"You don't have to do it." Chen Bin waved his hand and said, "Lord Suwen can brew immortal brewing, but my family is shallow, I only taste it a few times occasionally, and it feels like drinking elixir, carefully calculated, the last time I drank immortal brewing, it seems that it was in February last year." ”

Li Hao raised his head and laughed when he heard this, patted Chen Bin's shoulder hard, and said happily: "General Chen is open-minded, and he is also a member of my generation, I invited this wine!" ”

Chen Bin grinned when he heard this, he was very happy, Li Hao had great insight, and immediately saw that this Chen Bin was a very pure person.

At this moment, the three groups of men and horses galloped from the east, west, and south, raising dust in the sky, and it was the three captains sent by Chen Bin.

Li Hao saw that these three lieutenants were all fierce and fierce, and at first glance they were people with excellent martial arts, and he couldn't help but praise: "General Chen's subordinates are also so fierce, which is really admirable." ”

"Your Excellency has won the prize." Chen Bin looked at the three-way cavalry that was galloping wildly, and said slowly, "These three people have followed me for many years, and they were trained by me personally, Zhang Qingle is good at riding and shooting, Chen Xiangyu is good at horse fighting, and Chen Chao is the most powerful, almost omnipotent. ”

When he praised his subordinates, his face was full of pride, it can be seen that these three captains are his confidants, better than brothers, Li Hao also nodded and praised: "If my Tang Dynasty men are as heroic as them, who else in the world dares to invade my territory." ”

"What your lord says is very true!" Chen Bin said generously, "This time, the big man guarded the lonely city, and called the Gaochang dog thief to return, which is really happy, presumably they will not dare to make trouble for several years." ”

"Nope." Li Hao squinted, a cold glow bloomed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "It doesn't matter if they make trouble or not, because I must ask Your Majesty to destroy Gaochang!" Those who offend my Tang Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Everyone in the city was awe-struck when they heard this, and a fierce killing aura quietly enveloped the head of Tingzhou City.

"General! He led the soldiers to pursue ten miles, annihilated 1,300 enemies, and came to restore his life! ”

"General! He led the soldiers to pursue fifteen miles, annihilated 800 enemies, and killed 8 enemy generals! Coming back to life! ”

"General! He led the soldiers to pursue twelve miles, annihilated 1,000 enemies, killed three enemy generals, and captured the enemy commander Zhang Meng alive! ”

As soon as he heard that he had captured the enemy commander alive, Li Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked down with his hands on the battlements, and sure enough, he found that Chen Chao was leading a horse, and a general with a golden armor tied up on the horse's back was the commander of the enemy army, he had seen it from the telescope, and he couldn't be wrong.

Li Hao hammered the battlements with great force, and shouted: "Hang the enemy commander on the city gate!" After death, the body will be hanged for three days, and then the corpse will be exposed to the wilderness! ”

Chen Bin and everyone in the city were stunned, the Tang army has never killed prisoners, Li Hao's behavior is contrary to the national style of benevolence, Chen Bin just wanted to admonish, Li Yuanzhong suddenly raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, shaking his head at him.

Chen Bin was stunned and understood what he meant, but his brows slowly furrowed, he didn't dare to agree with Li Hao's behavior of abusing and killing the prisoners.

Chen Chao had already led the soldiers to carry Zhang Meng to the city through the ladder, Zhang Meng was tied tightly, his mouth was also blocked by a cloth, and he could only scream and struggle, but to no avail.

Li Hao ordered the soldiers to make a slipknot rope sleeve, put it around Zhang Meng's neck, tie the other end into the city tower, and then pull out the cloth blocked in Zhang Meng's mouth.

Zhang Meng shouted in fright: "You can't kill me, I'm Gaochang Jiaohegong, you can't kill me!" Can't kill me......"

"Huh." Li Hao sneered, and said in a cold tone, "I knew today, why bother in the first place, you besieged our Tingzhou for nearly two months, starving to death how many people in my city, do you know, even if the people starved to death, they didn't make any noise, they starved to death so quietly, in order not to make it difficult for me, not to let panic and riots in Tingzhou City, in order not to let you find out that we are in a food shortage, I sent people to distribute food to those hungry old people, and they quietly transferred it to others, because they thought they were old, It didn't work, so they gave the food to others and starved to death themselves......"

Zhang Meng was stunned for a while when he heard this, he also thought that Cao Tian had given him false information, it turned out that Tingzhou had already had a food shortage, but the Tang people were really too powerful, and they would rather starve to death than fight for the last chance for others, and he suddenly felt that the country of the Tang Dynasty, this nation, was too terrible.
