Huang Chao's soldiers and horses were indeed unable to compare with the powerful soldiers of the feudal town. When Li Yunze led the armored cavalry into the camp, chaos immediately arose.
Countless people were running like headless flies, and almost everyone was screaming meaninglessly. It was as chaotic as it could be.
Fortunately, Li Yunze didn't pay attention to them. At most, he would throw a torch when he passed the tent and knock any unlucky guy out of the way.
Their targets were numerous siege engines.
He rushed over and killed the guarding sergeants, and then smashed the jars filled with kerosene he carried on his horse.
When the jar was smashed, the kerosene sprayed all over the siege equipment.
Wait until the torch is thrown over, wait until the torch is thrown over, and today's business is finally done.
The mighty armored cavalry rushed out of the chaotic camp and returned to the city, leaving behind them the Shura field with flames rising into the sky.
Huang Chao was furious when he heard the news. He sent all the unlucky ones who were guarding the siege equipment to the grinding house, which was a place where stones were used to make food raw materials.
I have clearly told you many times to be careful about night attacks, but you were still burned by the army. What's the use of keeping such a piece of trash?
Apart from occasionally paying attention to whether the siege of Chang'an City was lifted and when they could go back, they never thought that the traitors would pursue them to Wugong Mei County.
After a brief resistance, the Jingyuan Army and Shuofang Army quickly chose to flee.
After questioning the concubine, she found out that Li Zhan was playing polo with the prince and eunuchs outside the city.
This winter is so cold and tiring, I don’t even know how much I have died from exhaustion and freezing.
What made Huang Chao angry was that after searching the entire county, several of the emperor's concubines were caught, but the emperor was not found.
Xia Houyuan was able to run five hundred miles in three days. Huang Chao was not as good as Xia Houyuan, but it only took him one and a half days to run two hundred miles.
Then, Huang Chao's cavalry arrived, and everyone no longer had to worry about this.
We have no soldiers and horses in our hands, so we have no way to solve the problem!
He, Zhuge Shuang, wished that Li Yunze fell from the top of Chang'an City!
"Okay, okay." Huang Chao was overjoyed, "You have done a good job, and you will be rewarded heavily by the Emperor if you kill the dog."
In order to fight for the treatment, Zhuge Shuang happily presented another important piece of news to Huang Chao.
They gathered at the martial arts side and were still busy fighting for power and profit all day long, fighting cocks, dogs, and polo.
A lot of soldiers and horses had gathered during these days, but most of them were sent out to relieve the siege of Chang'an City.
Zhuge Shuang, who was angry and frightened, immediately chose to surrender when he saw Huang Chao's troops approaching.
The reason is not complicated. For Li Zhang, Chengdu is far less interesting than the city of Chang'an that he is familiar with.
Moreover, in order to preserve precious animal power, human hands were used to cut and drag the crops.
At this time, there were not many soldiers and horses left on Wugong's side. Apart from the accompanying Shence Army, there were only those led by Cheng Zongchu and Tang Hongfu.
After all, according to the historical information he knew, Li Xuan at this time had already followed in the footsteps of his ancestor Li Longji and fled all the way to Chengdu. He just lacked a fat girl to perform in Maweiyi.
Huang Chao's cavalry's surprise attack came very suddenly, or it could be said that the Jingyuan Army and Shuofang Army were all focused on causing trouble and did not take warning at all.
Li Yunze was puzzled for a long time and couldn't figure out what Huang Chao meant.
In Wugong Meixian County, not only Li Xuan was there, but many nobles and nobles who had previously paid Li Yunze's exit fee were also gathered around their emperor.
Now Zhuge Shuang finds that his troops are missing, which means he has lost his life.
All his favorite things to play were left in Chang'an City.
It was true that it escaped the observation of the defenders, but it could not escape Li Yunze's drone.
What to do if the siege equipment is burned? Of course, continue to build it.
But he was unwilling to go back like this. If he went back, he would probably be killed by his own tooth soldiers on the way.
Although it was not clear what Huang Chao was going to do, since the big thief chieftain was personally dispatched, there must be something important.
Zhuge Shuang has no moral integrity. Surrendering the rebels and betraying the emperor is as easy and simple for him as eating and drinking.
Many cavalrymen were rushing back and forth, trampling under the flying hooves of horses, and the whole street was in a mess.
When marching normally, the speed of the cavalry is not as fast as expected because they have to maintain their horsepower.
Under this situation, Huang Chao skillfully dispatched troops and horses to spread around Chang'an City and plunder further away.
Zhuge Shuang is not happy at all, he is very angry now.
Looking at the splendid clothes of these people, Huang Chao's eyes were red and he roared: "Kill, kill, kill! Killing one is a crime, killing ten thousand is a hero! If you kill nine million, you are a hero among heroes! Kill them all!"
"
After some operations, the morale of Huang Chao's troops dropped greatly.
As soon as the thieves appeared, they immediately reached the center of the temporary line.
Huang Chaojun, who had to do it all over again, was filled with complaints.
When the drones were flown again for reconnaissance, they were surprised to see Huang Chao sitting on the golden chair actually going there in person, and immediately ordered all the cavalry to assemble.
Li Zhen, the eunuchs, and the officials and nobles were as unreliable as ever.
When he finally arrived at Yueyang, he was shocked to find that all the more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command had been taken away by Li Yunze!
Zhuge Shuang saluted respectfully, "How dare you talk nonsense in front of the general. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to flee to Sichuan, but for some reason he stopped near Wugong. He sent an envoy the day before yesterday, ordering the general to send troops to relieve the siege of Chang'an."
In order to avoid alerting the defenders, he took a long detour.
After hearing Zhuge Shuang's story, Huang Chao stood up from the golden seat and asked, "Is this true?"
Presenting the news about Xia Suiyin's troops and horses being taken away by Li Yunze was just enough to save Zhuge Shuang's life.
Seeing the large number of rebel cavalry detouring to the west, Li Yunze was a little confused for a moment and didn't understand what they were doing.
When the enemy is doing something important, stop him!
It took a long time to finally gather the cavalry scattered throughout the city. Li Yunze led thousands of cavalry to open the Yanping Gate and rushed out in a mighty manner.
But when it comes to truly hasty marching, the speed is terrifying in comparison.
"What, the Dog Emperor is doing martial arts?"
There are at least 10,000 cavalrymen on Huang Chao's side, maybe even more. It would be unsafe for Li Yunze to lead less people.
Cheng Zongchu was the military governor of Jingyuan, and Tang Hongfu was the military governor of Shuofang.
"Thank you, General."
For thieves, morale is always the most important. When morale is low, it is normal for them to collapse at the first touch.
Without any hesitation, Huang Chao immediately mobilized the elite cavalry and personally led the troops around Chang'an City and headed straight for Wugong in the west.
You don’t have soldiers and horses in your hands, but you still want benefits? This is a waste of money!
The ministers wanted to run, but how could their legs outrun the cavalry horses?
Although the Jiedushi envoys in the late Tang Dynasty were often killed by the imperial court, their subordinates, other Jiedushi, their own sons and adopted sons, and
But after all, he was a Jiedushi at the peak of martial arts, a real emperor of one land.
Without money and food, the warriors would naturally make trouble.
Li Yunze didn't know that he had defended Chang'an City, so Li Xuan stopped and wandered near Wugongmei County, and did not go straight to Chengdu.
They thought Li Yunze was here to kick the camp, so they ignored them and took a detour to the west.
If Jiedushi wanted to avoid being killed and to be a good local emperor, he had to hold the wealth in one hand and the soldiers and horses in the other hand.
They stationed thousands of soldiers and horses here to protect the emperor, but their soldiers and horses were busy fighting for pay and food, and they were constantly in conflict with many ministers.
It’s not that I don’t dare to fight, it’s that I don’t want to fight.
The auxiliary soldiers naturally complained, and then Huang Chao ordered them to shut up with a knife.
No one would work in vain without money and food. If they didn't switch sides and surrender on the spot, Huang Chao would be worthy of the court.
The entire Wugong County was turned into a bloody slaughterhouse inside and outside, and the streets across the county were covered with the corpses of officials.
Li Guochang and Li Keyong, father and son, who had previously gone with Wu Shitai, the governor of the Zhenwu Army, to attack the rebellion, were recalled halfway to deal with Huang Chao's attack on Guanzhong.
Cheng Zongchu and Tang Hongfu resisted desperately, but they were unable to block the surging cavalry charge and were soon submerged under the iron hoofs.
He had no way to go to Chang'an City, and he only had a group of tooth soldiers and cronies around him. If he entered Chang'an City rashly, he would be chopped up by Li Yunze immediately.
This was a common occurrence in the era of separatist vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty.
It seems that as long as the city of Chang'an has not fallen, those traitor soldiers will stay outside the city and attack the city like sand sculptures.
The bandit soldiers who blocked the Yanping Gate were shocked and shouted, closing the camp gate tightly and getting ready for battle.
Zhu Wen's troops were ordered to go to Yueyang, but unexpectedly they met Zhuge Shuang, the governor of Xia Suiyin, who surrendered.
Li Zhang escaped, so he couldn't take the treasury with him.
You must know that the raw materials for building siege equipment have to be brought back from the distant Qinling Mountains.
In the past, this kind of work was done by captured cannon fodder, but now that we can't capture enough cannon fodder, we can only use auxiliary soldiers to do it.
There are rumors that he is a descendant of the Zhuge family. If Zhuge Liang knew that his descendants were in such bad shape, he would probably not even be able to cover the coffin.
If life is lost, no one will be angry.
The ministers who defected to the emperor were even more unlikely to dig into their own pockets to subsidize. After all, there are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year dynasties. Once the dynasty is gone, they can just kneel down again. Yan Shenggong has already set the example, and he will learn from it.
That's right.
If you want to get more benefits and rewards, don't even think about it.
Many nobles and nobles who fled from Chang'an City ran away crying and screaming in an unknown place like Wugong, but they were overtaken and slaughtered mercilessly by the bandits.
At this time, Li Zhang had already learned that the county seat had been captured by bandits.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Mei County.
Naturally, Tian Lingzi and others would not go to the county seat, but took a few bewildered princes with them and hurriedly rode away.
As for the people in the county, who can control them?
Huang Chao was busy massacring officials in the county town, but he gave Li Xuan enough opportunities to escape.
When the furious Huang Chao was about to gather his troops again, Li Yunze rushed to the battlefield with his cavalry.
