Chapter 39: The strange phenomenon in Chang'an

Just as Mochu was gasping for cold air, several Tang troops emerged. Tang troops appeared one by one, without any signs in advance, as if they fell from the sky. Mochu's depression was beyond the description of his pen and mo. He kept shouting in his heart: "It's over, it's over! We surround the Tang army!"

Another advantageous reason why Chen Wanrong dared to confront the 200,000 army of 30,000 Tang troops and Mochuo was that the Tang army was extremely mobile. As long as the cannons were fired, they would come to the place where the cannon sound came. Even if the 30,000 Tang troops led by Chen Wanrong could not gain the upper hand, as long as these Tang troops arrived, they would be invincible.

As expected, looking at the Tang army coming like a tide, Chen Wanrong was very excited: "As long as you arrive, Mochu will be unable to escape!"

With a wave of the saber in his hand, he cut over a Turkic soldier and shouted: "Brothers: avenge the brothers and sisters who died unjustly in the Five Episodes! Kill! Revenge! Revenge!"

"Avenge! Revenge!" The artillery soldiers shouted in unison and rushed around the Turkic right wing.

Artillery alone is enough to bear the Turkic army. Once reinforcements arrive, the Turkic soldiers are not willing to resist and are busy running for their lives.

However, they could not escape. Tang Jun was shouting for revenge from all sides, and the horizontal sword in his hand was slashed to death.

This is simply one-sided killing. The Turkic army has no power to fight back. It is either killed by the Tang army or trampled to death. The army is defeated like a mountain, and the Turkic army is crowded with me, and countless people are trampled to death. In order to survive, they cut and kill each other. There are tens of thousands of people who die in the hands of the Turkic people themselves.

When the battle ended, Chen Wanrong looked around and saw corpses everywhere within dozens of miles, and the tragic level was not inferior to the decisive battle of Tubo. The corpses were stacked layer after layer, piled up like mountains.

A Turkic army was running for life in a hurry in the distance. Chen Wanrong waved his hand and shouted, "Chase!"

"Supervisor, stay tuned, you can't chase after me!" A familiar voice sounded, and it was Zhang Shougui who rode his horse.

Chen Wanrong said a little annoyed: "Why can't I chase after me?"

"I have sent someone to these things." Zhang Shougui rode his horse to the front, flew off the horse, and stepped on it, and happened to step into a pool of blood. The blood splashed high: "Supervisor, look at what you look like."

"What's wrong with me?" Chen Wanrong was stunned and joked, "Isn't it very mighty?" A stream of warm blood flowed into his mouth, and he quickly spit out, and used his hand to apply a helmet. The place where he started was warm, and then he looked at the palm of his hand and saw a handful of blood.

Chen Wanrong encountered this kind of thing for the first time and couldn't help but be surprised. When he looked at the blue and white horses, he was no longer a green horse, but a red war horse.

Zhang Shougui pointed to the blue and white flowers and said, "Military Supervisor, you are not much better than blue and white flowers. You are all red. Go and wash it."

As soon as he mentioned it, Chen Wanrong felt very uncomfortable. His close-fitting clothes were soaked in blood. They were sticky when worn on his body, and they were very uncomfortable.

"How many people have escaped?" Chen Wanrong shook his head, still in excitement, his voice a little high.

"Less than 10,000 people!" Zhang Shougui replied, helping Chen Wanrong dismount: "So, you are, you will personally fight. If there is a big deal, how can I explain to the emperor?"

"You are the same!" Chen Wanrong retorted.

"I can rush, you can't! I am the commander, I can rush morale. You are the supervisor, you should rest!" Zhang Shougui has two standards.

Chen Wanrong said, "Go to your nonsense and sip?"

"Escape! But he can't escape." Zhang Shougui replied: "Go to the city first and get some water to wash you. If you don't wash, the blood will clot together and it will be difficult to wash."

It is reasonable that Chen Wanrong and he entered Zhongshoujiang City side by side. When the army was defeated, the Turkic soldiers tried to rely on Zhongshoujiang City and resisted stubbornly. Wang Zhongsi did not say anything and ordered the artillery to bombard Zhongshoujiang City with one blow, breaking up several gaps, and the Tang army poured in like a tide.

The Turkic soldiers in the city raised their hands to surrender, but the Tang army was inspired by hatred. They didn't care whether they surrendered or not, and they killed them all.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw corpses everywhere, which were not much better than the fields outside the city.

Zhang Shougui ordered: "Build the pot of hot water and let the artillery brothers wash it well, and be sure to wash off the blood on their bodies!"

The artillery and Chen Wanrong rushed together. Like Chen Wanrong, they were soaked in blood. It is no exaggeration to say that they were really taking a bath in the blood.

When he came to the house, Zhang Shougui helped Chen Wanrong remove his armor. He took off his helmet and saw that blood kept dripping from his helmet and hitting the ground, making a tick sound. He took it off one by one, and it was all like this.

The clothes he wore turned into bloody shirts, wet. Chen Wanrong was a little disbelief. He lifted his pants and looked down. His eyes widened and joked: "My God, that place has turned red. Fortunately, my wife was not here, otherwise he would have thought I like to play alternatives!"

Zhang Shougui laughed and pointed at Chen Wanrong and said, "Military Supervisor, you really know how to say it, you dare to say it even."

Chen Wanrong's excitement had not passed yet, and his tone was very high: "We are man, I dare not say anything!"

"I guess the artillery brothers are the same as you, so you shouldn't be beautiful!" Zhang Shougui teased.

When the hot water was boiling and the soldiers brought it in, Chen Wanrong took a beautiful shower. What surprised Chen Wanrong was that he had washed three large buckets of water before he could clean it.

After changing his clothes, he felt refreshed and very comfortable. As soon as Chen Wanrong came out, he stopped Chen Zairong and smiled and said, "Brother, I washed four buckets of water. Each bucket was red, the same as blood."

"Another Rong, is there any red in that place?" Chen Wanrong asked an unexpected thing.

Chen Zairong's face turned red and he was a little annoyed: "Brother, what are you asking about this? It's not serious at all!"

Wang Shaohua slapped Chen Wanrong's shoulder and said, "Brother Chen, your place is also popular, right? Mine is also popular! I went to ask, brother's thing is very popular. Haha!"

"You are so bored, you actually go and inquire about this kind of thing?" Chen Wanrong punched Wang Shaohua on the shoulder.

Wang Shaohua shook his head and said, "I have fought in the north for several years, but I have not been as happy as I am today. If the general did not allow us to pursue him, I think the place would be even more popular!"

"You have made great contributions and scored some credits to others." Zhang Shougui teased a little, "You should rest first. I guess Mochuo will escape in the direction of Yinshan. He wanted to rely on Yinshan to build a village. One is to deal with us, the other is to find a way to hit the passage and then escape north."

When they talked about the serious matters, everyone stopped joking. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "It's time to report the victory to the emperor. If they don't report the victory, they still don't know what will happen!"

The strategic position of Zhongshoujiang City is very important. No one can say when Li Longji can stand it. Chen Wanrong's words were agreed by everyone. He was about to write a good news when a small school came in to report: "Report to the Grand Commander, Xishoujiang City defeated the Turkic army and annihilated 30,000. The remaining troops are fleeing north."

Mocui passed Yinshan and immediately reinforced and attacked the two surrendered cities of the east and west.

As soon as he finished speaking, another small school came in to report: "Report to the Grand Marshal, the East Shoujiang City annihilated more than 20,000 Turkic people, and the remaining troops are fleeing north."

Zhang Shougui waved his hand and said, "Okay! The victory was defeated by the Turkic army in one day. This is a bit interesting! The enemy was annihilated at the Zhushoucheng City, and the two cities in the east and west were more than 50,000. This battle killed more than 240,000 enemies. There are still 150,000 or 60,000 fled. We should postpone the march and let Mochu gather them together and annihilate them in a battle."

This idea is very correct. If Mochu is not allowed to be closed, there will be scattered soldiers everywhere, which is difficult to pursue. It is better to slow down and let Mochu be closed. It only takes one battle to solve the problem.

"I agree!" Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "However, the road entrance and the direction of Tieshan to the west must be strengthened. Mochuo cannot escape north, nor can he escape west."

Zhang Shougui knocked on the table with his knuckles: "What the military supervisor said is very reasonable, I have sent someone."

"Then let's rest here for a few days!" Chen Wanrong asked with a smile.

Jianchun Gate in Chang'an is as lively as ever, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.

However, what is different from the past in Jianchun Gate is that many people are talking about it, and only hear someone say: "The battle in the north is not going well, and even the city of surrender was lost."

"The person surnamed Zhang is incompetent, and the person surnamed Chen is useless. He has been in vain to roll in the sea of ​​blood!"

"The military supervisor was so capable in Tubo last year. It was the first time we went on a war, which made us really happy for a while. This year, huh, it was useless. Once he went to the north, he even lost the Zhongshoucheng."

Since the news of the loss of the Suicheng City came, the people of Chang'an complained and cursed, and the spearheaded Chen Wanrong and Zhang Shougui were already polite enough to say that they were incompetent.

The relationship between Zhongshoucheng was very important, and the people were talking a lot, and they were talking a lot, gritting their teeth and yelling endlessly.

As he was speaking, a sudden sound of horse hooves sounded, and a small school rushed over and shouted loudly: "A great victory in the north! The city of Zhuang Zhuang City is restored! Annihilated 240,000 enemies!"

"Blackland Victory?" The people coming and going didn't take it seriously at all and pulled the corners of their mouths disdainfully.

Suddenly, they understood and asked in surprise: "What? A great victory in the North? Restoration of the Zhuangcheng in Zhongcheng? And annihilated 240,000 Turks?"

I was just saying that Zhang Shougui and Chen Wanrong were incompetent. Now I heard the news of the victory in Beidi. It is not difficult to make them turn around in a row, but it is a bit difficult!

However, the joy of this school sounded again: "The victory in the Northland! The revival of the Central Suicide City! Annihilation of 240,000 enemies!"

Now I have to believe it even if I don’t believe it. The people at the gate of the city suddenly became happy, jumped up, and shouted: “A great victory in the north! A great victory in the north! Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Tang Dynasty!”

In an instant, Jianchun Gate was boiling again, and the people were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. After a while, the sound of firecrackers sounded.

There were hundreds of people in front of Chen Wanrong's mansion, and they kept shouting loudly: "Chen Wanrong ruined the country and was lost and surrendered to the city!"

"Treacherous minister! A traitorous minister who ruined the country!"

The scolding was so loud that stones and bricks kept throwing towards the mansion. The Longwu Army soldiers at the door rushed over to stop them and forced them back. This kind of thing has been going on for several days. Since the news of the loss of the Zhongshoucheng City came, the people of Chang'an complained, and pointed their soft heads directly at Zhang Shougui and Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong was so famous in Chang'an. The people knew exactly where his home was. Some angry people came to scold him all day long. Ge Fushun was ordered to send Longwu Army to take care of him, otherwise they would have rushed into the mansion long ago.

Zheng Qing and Qing'e stood in the yard, looking at the stone bricks that were smashed in, and their faces were pale: "They are too much! My husband is killing the enemy at the border, and they are scolding me!"

Qing'e hurriedly advised: "Miss, they don't know the truth. If you want to scold, just let them scold you."

Zheng Qing bit her lip tightly: "My husband will never ruin the country! I lost the surrender city in Zhongshu. There must be a reason, so I can't blame her husband!"

"I believe him too! But the truth is not something we can know. Miss, don't worry, you will understand it in a few days!" Qing'e was about to pull Zheng Qing into the house, but the earth-shaking sound broke out outside the mansion: "A great victory in the north! Restoration of the surrender city in the middle! Annihilation of 240,000 enemies!"

"A great victory in the north! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

Zheng Qing and Qing'e were so surprised that their eyes hit the ground. They would never have imagined such a dramatic change. After a while, Zheng Qing and Qing'e hugged each other and jumped happily: "A great victory in the Northland! My husband and others won a great victory!"

Chen and his wife stumbled out of the house, blinked their eyes and asked, "Wife, Wanrong and others won a big victory?"

"Yes, mom!" Zheng Qing was so excited that she said: "It's annihilated 240,000 enemies! This is something that hasn't been there for many years!"

Only Pei Xingjian's Battle of Black Mountain can compare with the great victory that annihilated 240,000 Turks. That was already thirty years ago.

Chen Laoshi slapped his face and said, "Oh! The hard days have finally passed, and we can go out! These days, they yell outside the door every day, making it impossible for them to go out to the streets! Woman, let's go and celebrate!"

Regardless of Chen Wang's reaction, he pulled him away.

Zheng Qing and Qing'e hurriedly followed behind him. As soon as the door opened, they saw more people in front of the mansion. As soon as they saw Chen Laoshi and the others, Bogong knelt down and kowtowed, "We offended so much, please forgive me!"

"Hmph!" Zheng Qing asked angrily: "What are you offending?"

A study person blushed: "We don't understand the truth and disturb us in front of the house is really a serious crime for us. Please forgive me!"

"Have you made enough trouble? There are still many stones and bricks in our house! I have to keep them. When the military supervisor comes back, I will show them to him!" Zheng Qing asked proudly: "Is the military supervisor a treacherous minister who ruined the country?"

"Madam, please calm down. It's because I'm not sure about the truth!" The scholar's face flushed. When he waved his hand, a group of people rushed into the mansion, hurriedly picked up the stone bricks in the mansion, and hurriedly went there.

"Hey! Just leave like that?" Qing'e was very dissatisfied: "See if you dare to talk nonsense?"

Chen Laoshi hurriedly comforted him: "Miss Qing, don't talk about them. They are also for the good of the Tang Dynasty. When I heard the news about the city dig, I was also worried!"

Chen Wangshi shook his hand and said coldly: "Is Wanrong such a futile person? Wife, go, don't pay attention to him!" He took Zheng Jing's hand and left angrily.

Chen Laoshi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Woman, how angry are you? I was just worried, but I didn't say that Wanrong is not good! Wanrong is the pillar of our family, and it is the most promising!"
