Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Although Li Chengqian had no idea, since Du He and several generals said so, he had no choice but to agree.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise!"

The generals' faces lit up with joy, and they stood up and shouted in unison.

Li Ji continued, "Your Highness, the battle is about to begin. Let's go down and make some preparations."

"Go ahead, and be sure to be fully prepared!"

Li Chengqian said with a serious expression as he waved his hand.

Li Chengqian had a group of generals and the Black Armor Army serve as the vanguard. He was more nervous than anyone else, fearing that they might make mistakes.

"I will take my leave first!"

Before leaving the tent, the generals all looked at Du He and gave him a meaningful smile.

"Hey~"

Looking at this group of smiling generals, Du He sighed inwardly.

It's really unpleasant to be used as a gun by a bunch of killers.

After all the generals left the tent, Li Chengqian's face changed. He quickly turned his head and stared at Du He, questioning him in a deep voice.

"Du He, when did you and the generals discuss letting a group of generals and the Black Armor Army serve as the first batch of death soldiers?"

"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

He trusted Du He so much, but he didn't expect that he would even hide it from himself.

Du He said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, this morning several military commanders rushed to my tent and surrounded my bed and started nagging me."

"At first, I didn't agree to let the Black Armor Army serve as the first batch of death soldiers, but a bunch of old killers put all kinds of pressure on me."

"I am just a small deputy chief of the army. What else can I do if he doesn't agree?"

Having said that, Du He spread his hands helplessly.

"Your Highness, I was forced to do this!"

These generals knew that the Black Armor Army was regarded as a treasure by Li Chengqian. If they made this suggestion to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian would definitely not agree.

But what Du He said was very effective. If he were to convince Li Chengqian, it would be basically a sure thing.

So a group of generals set their sights on Du He.

Li Chengqian glanced at Du He and said while smacking his lips.

"Du He, don't think I don't know. As long as it's not something you want to do, who can force you to do it?"

"You probably agree with this decision, too!"

The two of them have been friends since they were young and are very familiar with each other's personalities.

Only a woman can make Du He bow his head and bend down!

"Hehe." Du He touched the tip of his nose angrily.

He said with a serious face: "Your Highness, if you want to reduce casualties and break through Anshi City, it is most appropriate to send the fierce generals and the Black Armor Army as the first to attack!"

"Besides, the generals are all confident of victory. We two outsiders can only trust them."

When it comes to direct siege warfare, Du He is a complete layman.

Since both super commanders Li Ji and Hou Junji made the same decision, he had no reason not to support it.

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Letting a group of generals go as the first batch of death warriors, aren't you afraid of losing a few generals?"

As the saying goes, one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Even if a war results in the loss of thousands of soldiers, as long as the main general is fine, it is not considered a big failure.

But once the main general is killed, even if the casualties among his soldiers are not heavy, the battle will be considered a failure for the court.

Du He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I was also worried at the beginning. Generals Li Ji and Hou Junji all said that they had made all the necessary preparations."

"They have fought for decades, so they must be absolutely sure to make such a decision."

The decision had already been made, and Li Chengqian knew that there was no point in saying more.

He curled his lips and said, "Next time Du He has such a big event, remember to inform me in advance, otherwise I will not be mentally prepared at all."

"As ordered!"

Du He responded with a smile.

Two days later.

The earthen hill that tens of thousands of Tang soldiers had painstakingly built for half a month was finally connected to the city wall of the south gate of Anshi City.

After the earthen hill was built, all the Tang army's craftsmen quickly evacuated.

The Tang army transported all the catapults to the foot of the city, and thousands of soldiers were still carrying large stones.

The big commotion made by the Tang army made the defenders in Anshi city nervous.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Veteran General Gao Minxing reported in a panic: "Reporting to General Gao Nuosa and General Yang, the Tang army has transported all the siege equipment to the city. I'm afraid they will attack the city today!"

"So urgent?"

Yang Wanchun and Noosa Gao Hui felt nervous.

Now with the scorching sun overhead, the Tang army chose this time to attack the city. Could they be crazy?

The soldiers wore iron armor and had to fight hard. Being exposed to the sun for a few hours could be fatal.

Could it be that Tang Jun’s bodies are also made of iron?

Yang Wanchun stood up and said, "Let's go and check on the city wall!"

The Tang army is best at using conspiracies and tricks, so who knows, they might really choose to attack the city at this point.

When Yang Wanchun and Gao Huizhen arrived at the south city wall, they found that there were densely packed siege weapons under the city.

Yang Wanchun and Gao Huizhen thought that the Tang army would attack the city soon. They were so scared that they put on armor and held spears and stood on the city wall, waiting for battle together with tens of thousands of soldiers.

But after waiting for half a day, the sun was about to set, but the Tang army not only did not attack the city, but smoke rose from the tents.

At this time, a soldier standing on the lookout tower quickly walked up to the few people and reported.

"Report to General Gao Nuosa and General Yang, the Tang army is slaughtering pigs and sheep to reward the troops, and the Tang army's troops are all in the camp, so I'm afraid they won't attack the city today!"

Upon hearing the news, the generals who had been standing on the city wall for half a day all became so angry that their faces turned red.

Gao Huizhen's face turned pale and he said, "Damn the Tang army, they fooled us!"

"They have waited for so long but have not attacked the city yet, and they are still thinking about killing pigs and sheep. It is obvious that they do not take us seriously!"

"Bennosa wishes he could lead his army out of the city and destroy them all!"

The generals standing behind him secretly curled their lips when they heard Gao Huizhen's incompetent and furious remarks.

If he really had the courage to charge out, why would he turn pale with fright when he heard the slightest movement of the Tang army?

Yang Wanchun shook his head slightly. The Tang army was not trying to trick them. They were just nervous and stood in the sun for a long time.

A moment of silence.

Yang Wanchun said in a deep voice: "The Tang army is best at night attacks. They are now killing pigs and sheep to reward the soldiers. They may attack the city tonight!"

"Arrange more soldiers to defend tonight, and everyone should keep their armor on when resting!"

The generals standing behind the two men looked stern, and then responded in unison.

"As ordered!"

Yang Wanchun squinted his eyes and looked towards the Tang army's camp. Looking at the hundreds of plumes of smoke rising up, he spoke loudly to the generals behind him.

"Let's kill a few more pigs to reward the soldiers!"
