Chapter 827: Return to the Horse Gun

(Thank you for the 588 tip of Treading Wave 54, thank you!) The fourth is sent! )

May, Midsummer!

After a thunderstorm, the weather starts to get hot.

This is in the gradually hot weather, and it is even hotter than the Guanzhong battlefield.

Huang Chao faced the courage to be the first, surrounded from all directions, and wanted to be the first to enter Chang'an, the first to achieve the first merit of the Guanzhong towns, the heroes did not suffer the immediate losses, and took the initiative to withdraw from Chang'an very decisively, and set a fire in Chang'an City, directly burned half of the imperial city.

I have to say that Huang Chao is treacherous, he expected that Chang'an City was a piece of fat, and all the towns of the coalition army wanted to rush into the city first and make this great contribution to recovering Beijing.

On May 4, Huang Chao left the Daming Palace and led the Qi army to withdraw from Chang'an from the east.

As soon as the news came out, it was like throwing a piece of fresh pork in front of a pack of wolves that had been hungry for a winter. The Tang armies closest to Chang'an heard the wind and did not wait for the orders of the commander of the coalition forces, Zheng Jin, and rushed to Chang'an.

The first to rush into Chang'an was the deputy commander of the coalition army of Guanzhong Zhuzhen, the deputy commander of the Northwest Zhudao Camp and the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, Cheng Zongchu, the first to enter Chang'an from the Yanqiu Gate, the west gate of the Chang'an Forbidden Garden.

The few people left in Chang'an City saw countless red banners, and they all thought that Huangchao was finished, and this terrible day under the rule of Great Qi was finally over, and they would resume Wanghua in the future and return to the peaceful years, and they all ran out excitedly to meet the Jingyuan army, and even helped to carry kitchen knives and flat shoulders, and helped to search for some of the Qi army stragglers who were still in the future and withdrew, and opened and took out some arrows, knives and guns that the Qi army had not had time to take away, and opened and took them out of the secret storage warehouse. It was given to the Jingyuan Army for use.

Cheng Zongchu had just entered Chang'an. The second one who arrived was the hero of the battle of Longweipi. Shuofang Jiedu envoy Tang Hongfu, because he still needs to cross Weishui from Chang'an City, he is one step later than Cheng Zongchu.

When night fell, the general of the Shence Army who came all the way from Chengdu, Wang Chucun, the newly appointed envoy of the Yiwu Festival, also took 5,000 elite soldiers of the Xinxance Army and ran all the way from Dongwei Bridge into Chang'an, becoming the third Jiedu envoy to recover Chang'an.

All of a sudden, the soldiers and horses of the three towns poured into Chang'an, and there were suddenly more soldiers than people in Chang'an City.

The deputy commander of the coalition army and the Jingyuan army made Cheng Zongchu see more and more people. I feel that in this way, the credit for recovering Chang'an will be much thinner. At the moment, he resolutely ordered to block the news from other friendly troops in Zhuzhen who had not yet arrived, especially to the commander of the coalition army, Zheng Jin, so as not to let him know the news that Huangchao had withdrawn from Chang'an, and in addition, Li Xiaochang, Li Sigong, and Li Quanzhong were also kept strictly confidential. The more people come, the smaller the credit.

Of course, blocking the news is not Cheng Zongchu's idea alone. There are already three towns of troops in Chang'an City. If Wang Chucun and Tang Hongfu don't agree, this matter will not be kept secret. And in fact. This decision was made by the marshals of the three towns together.

They rushed into Chang'an so quickly, in addition to competing for credit and showing their heroic posture of beating the water dogs, they also had more important small abacus.

This is Chang'an, the three-hundred-year-old imperial capital.

Even though this place has been occupied by the salt seller Huang Chao for a while, it is still very oily and watery. Grain, gold, beautiful women, and even young people. Now, Huang Chao has run away, in the eyes of the three towns, Chang'an City is now a huge trophy, such as a shopping mall of their choice, and it is free, they can take whatever they want. Not only are the materials left behind by Huang Chao theirs, but they are also the things of the people in Chang'an City, as long as they add a crime of arresting the remnants of the bandits, or add a crime of gangsters to the master, then all of this is theirs.

There are a lot of things in Chang'an City, but no matter how many things there are, there are more people, and there will definitely be fewer things to be shared. The three towns are better than the eight towns in Guanzhong, plus the two Yiwu Jie Du who have no Yiwu territory, so that Wang Chucun and Li Quanzhong, and the ten towns are stronger together.

Therefore, blocking the news is not only to grab merit, but also to grab money.

The three marshals had a brief meeting, and then immediately divided their respective occupied territories.

Rob!

The marshal of the three towns gave orders to their respective armies almost simultaneously.

Grab money, grab food, grab women, grab men, as long as it's useful, grab it.

Robbery is the built-in skill of almost all the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers of each town are quite familiar with it. With an order, the troops of each town rushed into the streets of Chang'an like wolves. They don't need to be motivated, they don't need to mobilize, they don't have to do ideological work. One by one, they fought bravely to break into pieces, rushing into every square and alley, looking for the thieves who could be looked down on by them.

And every thing that they looked upon was called a thief, and of silver and gold, and of brass coins, and of jewels, and of brocade, and of grain.

Of course, it could also be a woman.

Anyway, the officials and soldiers who recovered Chang'an have the final say on this.

Of course, in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire to rob, pretending to be the heroes of the recovery of Chang'an, the soldiers who collected the thieves, the former general of the Shence Army, the millionaire in Chang'an City, and now the righteous army festival makes the king cunning, and it is very smart to let his soldiers wrap white turbans and rob.

Anyone who does not have a white turban on his head is not allowed to rob, and those who violate it will be punished as thieves.

However, his thoughts were good, but unfortunately the white turban he issued was nothing special. Those ruffians and hooligans also took the opportunity to wrap their heads in white cloths, pretending to be Tang Army, and joined in the vigorous robbery action. Originally, the Tang Army was only robbing, but with the troubled waters of these people, the robbery operation gradually robbed and controlled. Robbery, and finally turned into kidnapping and adultery, and then, people began to rob and kill people in Chang'an City, and then, some people simply killed people and set fires.

The people in Chang'an City painfully found that these new officers and soldiers who had entered the city were not as good as the Huangchao Army who had just left. After all, after the initial robbery and murder, Huang Chao has been quiet during this time.

Outside Chang'an City, on the southeast side.

Emperor Huang Chao of Great Qi did not go far, he stopped at the Bashang Post Station at this time, and was hiding here. The Three Towns army that entered Chang'an, although they sent scouts, were all left behind by Huang Chao. Originally, this should have aroused the vigilance of the three town marshals, but at this time, the three marshals, who were busy robbing, did not notice this small matter.

However, Huang Chao has been sending sentry spies to investigate the movements of the Tang army in Chang'an. It's like an experienced angler staring at a buoy on the water.

"Report!"

Another scout horse galloped to report.

"Your Majesty. The soldiers and horses of the three towns that had entered the city were plundering in all directions. And they did not pursue. Moreover, the three towns blocked the news and did not pass the news to Zheng Zhen and other town marshals. ”

"Report!" Another horse arrived.

"Under Your Majesty, the men and horses of our army hidden in the city have been mixed into the soldiers and horses of the three towns in the city."

"Report!"

"The brothers of the Dead Soldiers Battalion are pretending to be the soldiers and horses of the Three Towns to kill people and set fire to Chang'an!"

"Report, the brothers of the Dead Battalion have successfully provoked the infighting of the soldiers and horses of the Three Towns, and the soldiers and horses of the Three Towns have begun to merge."

The news of the continuous return made Huang Chao's face finally smile again. The actions of the Don Army. His most optimistic predictions were confirmed. They are already scattered in the city, and there is no military discipline organization to speak of. Moreover, the army of the three towns also began to commit suicide and kill each other under the provocation of the death squad hidden in the city by the Qi army.

For such a group of rabble, if you don't kill them and teach them a lesson, then you are really sorry for the sincerity of these pigs.

But the only thing that worries Huang Chao a little is that. Zhu Mei, the deputy envoy of the Suining Jiedu, seems to have received the news and is leading his troops to advance to Chang'an. Want a piece of the pie.

After a moment of silence, Huang Chao made a quick decision.

"Where is Meng Kai?"

The left servant shot Meng Kai forward, "The minister is here!" ”

"I ordered you to be the vanguard, immediately lead 3,000 elites, disguise themselves as the Suining and Jingyuan armies into the city, first control several main gates of Chang'an, and then enter the city with the army, this battle, be sure to annihilate Cheng Zongchu, Tang Hongfu, Wang Chucun three towns of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City!"

Meng Kai was also the head of the Salt Gang back then, and he was an old friend of Huang Chao, and he has been Huang Chao's right-hand man for several years. After receiving the order, the action was very fast. They preempted Zhu Mei and rushed to Chang'an under the banner of Zhu Mei.

Meng Kai's army went all the way smoothly, and when he arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, he was even mistaken for the Suining army by the people in the city. Not only was the gate of the city open, and no one intercepted it, but even the city came out to greet it.

"Take the gates!" As soon as he entered the city gate, Meng Kai immediately turned his face and drew his knife to cut down the 'friendly army' who was leading the way.

Almost effortlessly, Meng Kai's vanguard elite captured a city gate, and then quickly rushed to the other city gates.

Huang Chao also arrived quickly, and at this time of survival, Huang Chao's Qi army showed its original fierce nature. One by one, they took the lead and poured into Chang'an City like a tide.

The Tang army of the three towns in the city has been scattered everywhere, and there are even fights everywhere.

They robbed too many things, and even the people and horses were almost unable to walk, and it was even more difficult to assemble quickly.

Even when someone told Cheng Zongchu the news that Huang Chao had been killed, the deputy commander of the Guanzhong Coalition Army, who was visiting the Daming Palace, even mistakenly thought that it was just the people below who were fighting. Today, he has received countless news of mass beatings by soldiers in the three towns within an hour. Therefore, he did not arouse alarm in the slightest.

As a result, the Huangchao army was like no one, and the Tang army in the three towns was defeated.

When Cheng Zongchu and Tang Hongfu reacted, it was already too late, and both of them died under the Huang Chao Army's ten thousand arrows, and the soldiers and horses of the two towns were almost wiped out. Only Wang Chucun has been more vigilant because of the small number of soldiers he brings, but he is wary of the two friendly troops in the city, but unexpectedly, this made him the first to discover Huang Chao's return horse gun, and led the soldiers and horses all the way out of the bloody road, and luckily broke out of the city.

And until this time, Zhu Mei, who wanted a piece of the pie, had just arrived.

As a result, what was waiting for him was not the splendid gold and silver beauties of Chang'an City, but the murderous Huangchao Army who was chasing and killing the remnants of the Three Towns everywhere. Zhu Mei was forced to get involved in the battle, and fought with the Qi army in the west of the city, but the Suining army was outnumbered and defeated, and even Zhu Mei was shot through the neck by Lin Yan, the general of the Qi army. Fortunately, the soldiers of his subordinates desperately rescued, and the defeated soldiers retreated all the way to the west of Chang'an one hundred and sixty miles away in Xingping Dingguo to settle down, and the Ningning army stopped five times out of ten, fortunately, the handsome Zhu Mei was stabbed in a hole in the neck, and after arriving in Xingping, he actually woke up and came back to life.

But Chang'an City, which has just been recovered, has fallen into the hands of Huangchao again, and the ten towns of the coalition army have been defeated by four towns, the second marshal was killed, the first marshal was seriously injured, and the other marshal escaped by luck!
