Because of an "accident", the time to attack Chang'an was postponed a little, which seemed to give those enemies who had fallen into a bad state a chance to breathe, and also wasted a lot of valuable time for the allies who were originally blessed by various buffs.

Wasting precious war time because of one's own love for children is not what a good leader should do.

However, I don't seem to regret it.

I always feel that I seem to understand the thoughts of those emperors who love the country and love beauty more.

It's a pity that those guys seem to be all famous in history...... Faint King.

In this way, under the strange gaze from the Ma family brothers behind him and the soldiers who originally belonged to the Ma family army, Princess Li Shuyong hugged Su Xiaololi's delicate body as light as a swallow, turned around and walked slowly.

He has to personally escort his lover to rest, and he has to do this in public and private, which is not only a reward for his lover's hard work, but also a responsibility in his heart to protect his injured lover.

Compared with such a mood, the eyes of outsiders are nothing.

Of course, what is completely different from Ma Jiajun's eyes when he looks at Li Shushi is that the soldiers of the old Bingzhou Army have understanding, encouragement and even reverence for Li Shushi's actions. In other words, compared to Li Shushi, Su Xiaololi seems to be more popular in the eyes of the old and state army, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her intelligence and ability. Of course, the suppression of the force of the one qiē and the cross-cutting faction of the Grand Lily Palace also established its unshakable status as the "Queen of Merge States".

However, although he has made up his mind to accompany Su Xiaololi. But Li Shushi still hasn't forgotten the most important task he shouldered tonight.

"Boom"!

With a huge bang, a huge fiery red fireball rose into the sky, and after a wonderful trajectory in the sky, it dragged a long flame tail like a meteor about to fall to the ground, accompanied by a huge strange scream, and rushed straight to the most central city gate in the west of Chang'an City-Zhicheng Gate.

One, two, three......

Although the Xiliang army sealed the city gate with wood and stone, in an attempt to prevent the Bingzhou army from attacking the city, the most vulnerable part of the city wall, the loud explosion proved how ridiculous the last struggle of the Xiliang army was.

The gates shook, the walls shook, and the earth trembled with terror at the sound of the explosion.

"The rest will be handed over to Gongming and Wen Qian, you two commands. 1. The situation is decided by the two of you. If you are not sure about eating, you can discuss with Shoucheng. Zhong Kang, you can take half of your personal guards to press the formation here, I don't need too many people on my side. ”

This was the order given by Li Shushi before leaving, and it reached the ears of the generals when the first "cannonball" fired by the golden canister cannon flew into the sky. Then wait for anyone to question or ask questions. He left the battlefield in front of him without looking back.

And when Li Shushi stepped on the road to return to the big tent in the army that belonged to him. The corners of his mouth were drawn with a cruel smile—an expression that would have been hard to see on his face in the past.

"Everyone, please prepare for an attack, if you continue like this, the city gate will not last long."

His brows furrowed, although he only glanced at Lejin. Xu Huang quickly gave the order to attack, but neither he nor Le Jin had the excitement of commanding a large army independently, but instead felt extremely unnatural in their hearts.

What's wrong with my father-in-law? Why did you suddenly run away and suddenly give such an order.

Li Shushi, as the leader of the Bingzhou Army, is naturally the supreme commander of the Ximen side, and no one will question this point, even if the number of Ma Teng's army in the west is far more than the soldiers brought by Li Shushi, and even if those heroes from Hanyang County are added, it seems to be the same in terms of combat effectiveness.

Now that Li Shushi has suddenly run away, according to common sense, the command should be handed over to Ma Teng, who is the strongest in the west, and as the descendants of the Bingzhou Army, it is enough to play a supervisory role, and I believe that Ma Tengjun will also accept such an arrangement.

Or let one or two of Le Jin or Xu Huangzhong serve as deputy generals, one commands the soldiers and horses from Bingzhou, and the other is responsible for managing Hanyang County, which not only respects Ma Teng's authority, but also does not let the Haoqiang of Hanyang County become the cannon fodder of Ma Teng's army, in any case, the personal relationship between many Haoqiang and Li Shushi in Hanyang County is far better than that with Ma Jiajun.

But now that Le Jin and Xu Huang were appointed as the commanders and Ma Teng was excluded from the command center, he just gave the other party a title similar to that of a staff officer, and the two of them couldn't figure out what Li Shushi's purpose was after thinking for a long time.

It can't be said that it is planning to force the Ma Jiajun to rebel.

Haha, hahahaha, no matter how you think about it, I think it's so funny.

"General Xu and General Le, please command the battle as usual, the only task of the two of you is to complete the orders of the adults and take Chang'an City together with friendly forces in several other directions, as for the rest of the matter...... There is no need to bother the two generals. ”

Just when the two of them were still a little confused, a slightly low voice sounded in their ears, but on this not too cold autumn night, it made the two of them feel cold down their spines, as if they were being targeted by something terrible.

It wasn't until the sound died off that the two dared to look back and see the back that was almost melting into the night.

"It's Jia Wen and the military advisor."

"It's Jia Wen and the military advisor."

"I seem to understand something, but I still don't understand anything."

"Seconded."

The final battle finally kicked off in such a strange atmosphere.

"The enemy army near Nagimen will be handed over to the Hanyang army, I hope you can cooperate with the Ma Jiajun and the Shuozhou army in the north and capture the flag."

"The main attack task of the straight city gate will be handed over to the Ma Jiajun, after this series of changes, the enemy army should not have much fighting spirit left, but Li Guo and the two thieves are extremely stubborn, so please be more careful when attacking to the center of the city."

Because my heart is filled with all kinds of feelings. Xu Huang and Le Jin didn't enjoy the pleasure of commanding the army, and it could even be said that they didn't seem to plan to care about anything other than giving the order to attack. In fact, even the only attack order given, Cheng Dù, who seemed to be simple and even rudimentary, had an extremely perfunctory attitude.

Well, it seems that even God seems to see that the attitude of the two is not pleasing to the eye.

"Report to the general, Yin Feng of the Hanyang Army sent news that Li Meng, the deputy general of the Ximen garrison, because of Li Wei's injustice, and because of Li Ying's affairs, he always remembered that he wanted to kill him. Wishing to surrender to our army and willing to open the two protrusions to the west. ”

The so-called protruding door. It is a secret gate built on the city wall, which allows the defenders to go out of the city to raid, hence the name.

It sounds like the originally monolithic Xiliang Army in Chang'an City seems to have begun to collapse under all kinds of strong pressure.

But. In the face of such news, it may seem quite exciting. Neither Xu Huang nor Le Jin had any special expression. Just nodded and allowed the other party to surrender, but handed over the power of how to operate this matter to Ma Jiajun.

Although Li Meng's defense area should be within the scope of Ma Jiajun's attack, it was connected by Hanyang Haoqiang. It can even be said that if it weren't for the secret persuasion from Hanyang Haoqiang, I am afraid that Li Meng, who is also from Hanyang Chengji, would not have surrendered so quickly.

I have to say that Hu Feng, who trusts the guards of the West Gate, is still a good general, in the face of Li Meng's rebellion, his reaction is very fast, even if nearly a thousand soldiers of the Ma Jiajun have poured in from the secret gate, and at the same time, the Xiliang Army in the city is still tormented by various negative states, but he still organized manpower, and used the rolling wood and stones on the head of the city at hand to hit the wooden fence set up on the inside of one of the protrusions to prevent the enemy from breaking in, cutting off a passage for the Ma Jiajun to assist.

It's just that that's all he can do.

Although Li Shushi's previous actions did delay the time of the attack, it was not really no benefit at all, although the time of the buff on his side became shorter, but the Xiliang army in the city not only suffered from various debuffs, but more importantly, the cold brought by the heavy snow froze the Xiliang people who were caught off guard.

Stiff fingers, stiff arms, stiff body, stiff legs, even the mind seems to become stiff.

In the face of the physical and mental torture of the state army outside the city, and now there is this miracle-like "natural disaster", and the Xiliang army in the city has been reduced to the lowest point from morale to physical function.

And what about their enemies?

Not to mention the preparation and high morale, it can be said that the time and time are completely in their hands, and even the geographical advantages that were originally unfavorable to them seem to have little power to block them.

Even though he resisted desperately, Hu Feng was still beheaded by the rebel Li Meng, and the head was full of unwillingness and exhaustion.

In the farther field, the shouts of killing gradually spread to the city, and as the heavy snow stopped at some point, the torches burning on the city also became more numerous, and it seemed that only a matter of time was left for the last stronghold of the Xiliang army to be breached.

At the right time.

"General, those people who have merged with the state obviously don't trust us. And after watching it for so many days, it's really better to be famous than to meet, and the state army is just like that, but there are a few fierce generals to support the scene, but there are few people who are really good at fighting. There is also that Li Xue, who blows it very mysteriously, but he is a pustule who likes to hold the stinky feet of girls. If it weren't for the murder of Master Taishi, then Li Guo and the others were ungrateful and excluded their colleagues, how could the dignified Xiliang Army fall into such a field. ”

"Yes, General, if it weren't for our Xiliang Army to open the way for him, how could they come here so quickly."

"That's right, it's because I know that I don't have enough strength, so I don't hesitate to come all the way to recruit us. It's a pity that he was exposed too quickly, and if he doesn't have the strength, he will only end up like this. ”

"Yes, him! I heard that the people of Bingzhou are very rich, and it just so happens that the brothers had a hard time a while ago, and their hands were a little tight. Also, I heard that the little guy's women are very beautiful. The prettiest is for you. Let's divide the rest. ”

"Hahaha, when I think about those little ladies with fine skin and tender meat, I feel that I have become hard~"

"Hahahaha, the two of us can change when the time comes, and we can also play some difficult actions...... Aha! ”

"Count me in, count me in. Let's come together, what is the good saying: 'Joy alone (le) is not as good as crowd (le)happiness'. ”

Although the battle continued, the voices that wrapped around Ma Teng became more and more.

Ma Teng's heart was extremely conflicted about these words, because he didn't know how he should choose.

The real strength of the state army, to be honest, Ma Teng is not very clear. From the beginning of his joining the army to the beginning of the Battle of Guanzhong, he never had the opportunity to observe the strength of the state army up close, either as an opponent or as a teammate.

When he defected from the imperial court in the northwest to join the Qiang coalition led by Han Sui and Bian Zhang, Li Shushi was having a good time with the Bingzhou army in Hanyang County. When he followed Han Sui and others to fight 300 rounds with the various officials and troops of the Han Dynasty, Li Shushi was fighting with the Xianbei people in Xihe. When he was guarding the rear for Dong Zhuo, Li Shushi was fighting a fierce battle with the allied forces of the princes in the land of two rivers. And when he went south to Wuguan. Li Shushi is taking the Bingzhou Army and the Flying Bear Army away from the Western Regions.

So the intelligence of the state army. All Ma Teng got was hearsay, or chasing after the wind.

As a soldier, Ma Teng will always be skeptical about that kind of news, because in order to win on the battlefield, the warring parties always habitually spread the "battlefield fog" on the battlefield that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Sometimes, even what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the most real situation. Not to mention something that is simply taken from someone else's mouth.

Not to mention that those words were already mixed with countless parts that were magical but also nonsense in Ma Teng's eyes.

Until the people of Bingzhou suddenly and forcefully inserted themselves into the chaos in Guanzhong.

Under the leadership of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, who were originally powerful figures in the Xiliang Army. With the assistance of Li Kan and candidates who have lived in Xiliang for many years, the attack of the Bingzhou army can be said to be overwhelming. If it weren't for the sudden rainstorm, maybe Li Dao and Guo Yan would have been dumplings made by the people of Bingzhou before they had time to gather their troops.

And this also caused the dilemma that Ma Jiajun was trapped in Yixian County and could not advance or retreat.

Originally, according to Ma Teng's idea, he let go and fought to the death.

He had little to do with the state army. Although Li Guo and the others were a little wary of him, they were not too crowded, and even agreed to his request to change Zuo Fengyi before the invasion of the state army. Not to mention the Guanzhong area at that time, except for Li Guo, the two largest ones, he seemed to be the only one who did not surrender and joined the state army.

Even if you want Liwei to cut him, it seems to be the most logical.

It's just that those rumors about the strength of the state army, even those rumors that Ma Teng considered to be exaggerated, still plagued Ma Teng and made him unable to make up his mind. Especially the former good brother, Han Sui Han Wenyue, who had been killed by Dong Zhuo, also thought that the Bingzhou Army was an opponent that must be treated carefully.

Han Sui is much smarter and more knowledgeable than Ma Teng, and Ma Teng himself admits this.

Even if there is still some moisture in these words, if you add those Xiliang troops who surrendered and merged with the state...... Ma Teng didn't think that he and his soldiers would be safe and sound after a vicious battle, and it could even be said that a few of them could survive.

He is old, and his experience over the years is enough to live, but what about his lovely children?

People, if there is no time of despair, how can they seek death lightly? Not to mention a drag like Ma Teng.

Ma Teng has been hesitating, and he has been hesitating until one day, his good son came to his house with Li Shushi himself.

His eldest son, who was very pleased with him, didn't say much, just told him that there were only two ways in front of him - surrender and merge with the state army, and let himself follow Li Shushi; Carrying the death with the Bingzhou army to the end, he wanted to break with his father and follow Li Shushi.

This is really unbearable!

Isn't this like a lovely daughter who has been raised by herself for more than ten years, and suddenly one day she took a strange boy ♂ paper that she didn't know to find from that corner and said to herself, "We're getting married"!

How can this be endured!

But just like most fathers who control their daughters, in the face of their daughters who are so resolute that they would rather break with themselves, in the end they can only cry and send blessings to their daughters, and by the way, point a gun at that bastard stupid boy and make a threat like a defeated dog.

Li Shushi was also generous, and the "bride price" given was also kind, so Ma Teng chose to surrender on the donkey.

But in the military, what has been spreading propaganda against the people of the state has been spreading before. Even if this kind of propaganda was stopped because he became a friendly army, Ma Teng did not immediately promote "Bingzhou Xiliang Family" in reverse.

First, Ma Teng thinks that he is a disciplined character, and secondly, because he is still sulking at his son's choice.

Well, how to look at the latter is the point.

Not to mention, Xiliang people advocate the strong. But Li Shushi's Guanzhong Battle this time either relied on leading the party, or adopted various strategies, even the final battle. This will inevitably attract some people's contempt for the combat strength of the state army.

Moreover, it is too much to ignore the army for the sake of a woman, even if that woman is beautiful. How many original Ming monarchs in history have become the lords of the dead country because of their greed for women.

For example, business, business, and business.

Ma Teng is not willing to fight with a guy who has a sign of the death of the country, so wouldn't that force him to surrender again...... Or even many times.

But......

Stroking the cold and piercing bricks in front of him, Ma Teng hesitated again.

Are all the rumors, the claims that he once considered exaggerated, really just exaggerated legends?

This time, how should he choose? (To be continued......)
