Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Chapter 288: Scholars Are Not Weaklings

On a low hill near Pianling River.

Li Chengqian, who was standing on the sedan chair, saw the army successfully break into the city. He spoke loudly with excitement on his face.

"Du He, stand up quickly and look! The army has already entered the city!"

"I didn't expect Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai to be so brave. They are indeed my subordinates!"

When Li Chengqian first saw two of his brave generals jumping off the wall, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

If he had not seen them charging out from the left and right, Li Chengqian would have suspected that his two trusted generals would be beaten to death by the defenders of Anshi City.

You are so brave!

Du He said solemnly, "Your Highness, the battle has just begun. The most dangerous thing is to engage in close combat with the 6 enemy troops in the city!"

"I believe that our mighty army will be able to annihilate all the enemy forces in the city."

Li Chengqian was very confident in the fighting ability of his soldiers.

The tens of thousands of soldiers attacking the city now are all Han people. The armor and weapons they wear crush the defenders in Anshi City.

And with a group of brave generals here, there is no reason why we can't capture Anshi City.

Li Chengqian sighed, then looked around and asked with a somewhat puzzled tone.

"Du He, where is Shou Yue?"

"Why can't I see him all morning?"

Du He said with a complicated expression, "I don't know what's wrong with Shouyue. He also joined the battle to attack the city."

"Hou Junji has included Shouyue in his team. He may have already entered the city with the army."

When Li Chengqian heard that Pei Xingjian, a counselor, was actually going to fight with the army, he exclaimed in surprise.

"what!"

"Is Shouyue also going to participate in the siege?"

"He is a weak scholar, who would give him the courage to fight?"

It's no wonder that Li Chengqian was surprised, because Pei Xingjian's behavior was really too absurd.

Li Chengqian got Pei Xingjian, a rough diamond, and wanted to train him into a counselor like Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. But now Pei Xingjian has done this, and Li Chengqian is in trouble.

Du He shook his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, although Pei Xingjian is a scholar, he is different from the two of us."

"Pei Xingjian has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Although he cannot compare with the generals, he is probably better than most of the soldiers."

"Besides, Pei Xingjian has Hou Junji, his future father-in-law, to look after him, so nothing can go wrong."

The scholars of the Tang Dynasty were not weak bookworms. They could pacify the world with a pen and decide the outcome of the world with a gun and a horse.

While the two were chatting, a fierce battle broke out in the city.

Pei Xingjian, who was mixed in the crowd, took advantage of the enemy in front of him blocking the spears coming from other directions, and he quickly thrust his spear forward.

Soon the enemy's body fell to the ground powerlessly.

"The fifth one!"

Pei Xingjian muttered to himself.

The spear in his hand was already stained with the blood of the enemy.

In the front formation of the Anshi City defenders.

When the veteran general Gao Minxing saw that his soldiers were defeated again and again by the Tang army, he shouted loudly.

"You can't retreat, follow me and press forward!"

"Whoever kills the Tang general will be promoted five levels and rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"

In order to motivate his frightened soldiers, Gao Minxing increased the reward again.

Except for a small number of soldiers who rushed forward fearlessly, most of the soldiers retreated again and again.

Not only were these Tang army generals and soldiers very powerful, the heavy armor they wore was harder than bluestone slabs. The spears piercing through the armor could not cause any damage to the Tang army at all.

Gao Minxing's personal guards shouted loudly: "General Gao, the Tang army is wearing heavy armor that is too tough. It is difficult to kill them without maces and maces."

"We need General Yang to send blunt force soldiers to break the armor!"

The weapons held by the people who were responsible for defending the city were bows and arrows and spears, and they did not have any blunt weapons that could penetrate armor.

At first they rushed forward desperately for the reward, but in the end they found that their spears could not pierce the armor of the Tang army, while the spears and horse lances of the Tang army could easily pierce their bodies.

This led to the army being beaten and forced to retreat.

Gao Minxing looked at the soldiers in front of him being killed and fell in large numbers by the Tang army, and all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.

"If this continues, we will be defeated sooner or later!"

Seeing that the Tang army was about to rush over, Gao Minxing gave orders to his guards in a deep voice.

"Go back to the City Lord's Mansion now and ask General Yang to send blunt weapon soldiers to support us!"

"As ordered!"

The guard responded, then struggled to squeeze into the crowd with his spear in hand.

Gao Minxing looked in the direction of the Tang army, with a look of determination on his face, he said: "All the guards will follow me to meet the enemy and drive the Tang army out of the city!"

"kill!"

The guards on Gao Minxing's left and right shouted in unison.

Xue Rengui, who was rushing in the front and killing everyone, saw an old enemy general wearing general's armor leading the charge, so he went to meet him with his Fang Tian Hua Ji.

"Dang~"

Xue Rengui's powerful chop directly knocked the iron spear out of Gao Minxing's hand, and the Fang Tian Huaji quickly changed direction, and the sharp blade pierced straight into Gao Minxing's throat.

"General Gao, be careful!"

Gao Minxing's personal guard shouted.

Before they could rush forward to rescue him, Gao Minxing's throat had been pierced by the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

As Xue Rengui pulled back the Fang Tian Hua Ji, Gao Minxing's huge body fell heavily to the ground, and he instantly lost all life.

"The enemy general is dead!"

Xue Rengui roared.

Soon Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai, Xue Wanbei, Yuchi Huan and others followed suit and shouted.

"The enemy general is dead!"

"Take down Anshi City and get the reward!"

Hearing their shouts, the morale of the Tang army soldiers, who were already advancing in high spirits, became even higher.

In order to kill the enemy and get reward, all the Tang army soldiers rushed forward fearlessly.

"General Tang killed General Gao!"

"Let's avenge General Gao!"

The sacrifice of their commander did not scare away these guards. They rushed towards Xue Rengui, howling.

It’s a pity that in the face of powerful strength, their anger is a joke.

"remarkably brave!"

Xue Rengui let out a low shout, but the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand did not stop at all.

Faced with a group of people who came forward to die, Xue Rengui easily killed these more than 30 personal guards.

On the south wall.

Li Ji and Hou Junji stood side by side, watching the battle below from a high vantage point.

When they saw Xue Rengui kill the enemy general with two moves, Hou Junji laughed and said.

"Hahaha, Xue Rengui is truly a great general!"

"Too fierce!"

Li Ji said with envy: "Duke Weiguo has a good eye. The two disciples he accepted are both good seedlings!"

Although Su Dingfang's performance was not as eye-catching as Xue Rengui's, his command ability was stronger.

Among the younger generation of generals, Su Dingfang is the only one who can currently carry the banner.
