Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 319 Intimidation and Coercion

'Boom!Boom! The polished cobblestone, the size of a human head, was thrown towards Yuanzhou City with a roar under the throw of the trebuchet.

After a while, the city of Yuanzhou was probably built during the Tang Dynasty, and the only remaining turret was completely destroyed.

In Yuanzhou City, people with knives and guns came and went, running around like panicked ants, crying even the Guiyi soldiers outside the city could hear.

In the northwest of Yuanzhou City, the [-] Dongshan Dangxiang cavalry, who were invited by Li Zhongchao, the leader of the Yuanzhou Party Project, to fight against the "Tuban bandits" gathered under a hill.

These party cavalrymen wore khaki and gray-brown leather robes, and about a few hundred of them wore some random armor.

Although everyone has a bow, there are not many excellent swords and guns. Some of them are braver, and a group of 30 people scattered around on horseback.

This was a defensive investigation for fear of being outflanked by Zhang Zhao and the others, but it seemed a bit late.

Confronting them were the Nestorian knights recruited by more than two hundred Ximi Qingqi and Suiye from Regret Mountain Capital.

From a distance, there is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of equipment.

These Mount Regret cavalrymen were all dressed in cotton-padded clothes, shiny chain mail coats, compound helmets with masks on their heads, shiny iron long knives in their hands, and the horses on their crotches were even more majestic and mighty.

The two sides confronted each other for about two quarters of an hour, regretting that there were more than [-] knights in Shandu, but the more than [-] people in Dongshan did not dare to come up, and they did not even provoke them.

A gust of yellow sand was blowing with the northwest wind, and Dongshan Dangxiang, who was already somewhat disgraced, felt even more inferior.

They feel like wild dogs on the side of the road, while others are gods in the sky.

Of course, the more important reason is that the Dang Xiang of the Dongshan Department did not dare to come forward at all, because they regarded the well-armored Zhang Zhao Guiyi Army as the army of the Central Plains court.

Although four years ago in 933, Li Yichao, the governor of the Dingnan Army, fortified the wall and cleared the country, exhausted the army of the later Tang court, and made various parties begin to despise the court.

However, the Dongshan tribe in Gyeongju is not as powerful as the Pingxia tribe of the Dingnan Army Jiedushi, nor is it as united as they are. Therefore, the Central Plains court is still a giant that cannot be offended by the Dongshan tribe.

When they saw that the Guiyi army had a large number of armors, generals and officials, they immediately scolded them. In their opinion, the party in Yuanzhou must have provoked the imperial court, which made the imperial court send a large army, but tricked them into saying that they would fight against Tubo. .

Cursing and cursing, Dongshan Dangxiang immediately froze when he saw something like a trebuchet appearing.

A young general came out of the army formation, and with more than ten followers, he galloped towards the Guiyi army with a gray and white banner.

"I don't know which road is handsome here? Li Yanli from the Dongshan Department is here to pay my respects!"

Zhang Zhao looked at the young general in front of him. He was tall and upright. At first glance, he was not one of those low-level party members who slept in the sheepfold all day long, and he was no different from Han people in terms of hair style, clothing and accent.

The hairstyle of the party members, the most impressive to future generations, is the kind of weird hairstyle with all kinds of bald heads.

That thing was actually created by Li Yuanhao. After this guy rebelled, he found that the Dangxiang people and the Han people had been integrated for hundreds of years, and there was basically no difference.

So in order to appear that he was justified in rebelling, he tried various methods to make the party members bald, just to make them different from the Han people.

But now, Li Yuanhao's great-grandfather, Li Guangyan, has not been seen yet. The Dongshan tribe said that it is a party item, except for the poor, and it is not much different from the Han people.

"Where are the lunatics who dare to lead the crowd to spy on the army, so you know that the laws of the country are strict? In front of you is the inspector Sikong, the governor of Hexi and the governor of the four states of Shanlan River, Zhang Sikong, and he still doesn't pay homage!"

Li Yanli was taken aback, isn't Hexi outside the country?What the hell is the Jiedu of the four states along the Shanlan River?Besides, these iron armors are not something Hexi can afford!

But Zhang Zhao didn't bother to explain to him, if he didn't see that Dongshan Dangxiang didn't submit to Pingxia Dangxiang, he would have killed them and ran away long ago if he needed to deal with Li Yiyin, the governor of the Dingnan Army.

"Inspector of Qingzhou, who are you?" Zhang Zhao asked slowly.

"It's my next father!" Li Yanli looked at this peer who was about the same age as him but had a good temperament, and for some reason, he felt a very strong sense of coercion.

"It was after the imperial court ordered the officials to follow the national edict to raise troops to quell the rebellion in Weizhou. Are you here to help me put down the rebellion?"

Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, and described these Dongshan Dangxiang who were invited by Dangxiang in Yuanzhou City to help him, as those who came to help him.

Just as Li Yanli wanted to kill him, Zhang Zhao's face darkened, "If you didn't come to serve the imperial court and help put down the rebellion, then do you want to go to Weizhou to join the rebellion?

The imperial court is not mean to your Dongshan tribe. A certain person who hates disloyalty and unrighteousness the most in his life, if he hears about it, he will go over and kill him thousands of miles away! "

"Ah! Uh! This." Li Yanli was tongue-tied for more than ten seconds, and suddenly heard bursts of exclamation.

It turned out that another well-equipped light cavalry with at least 500 people galloped over from a distance. The 1000 people alone could make their 4000 people suffer a lot.

"That's right! My father is also a loyal minister of the imperial court. Hearing that there is chaos in Weizhou, he specially dispatched his elder brother Yansi and his subordinates to help wipe out the rebels!"

Li Yanli wiped off a cold sweat, although there are strange things everywhere, but he still needs to stabilize the handsome Jie in front of him before talking.

"Since it is to help suppress the rebellion, then the various ministries in Yuanzhou City are domineering and rude, blocking the passage of the counter-rebellion army. Please also invite this Li Langjun to lead the army as the vanguard of the army! Breaking this city, I must ask the saint for your credit !"

Fuck!Li Yanli froze suddenly, he was invited by Li Zhongchao in the city to help him, and they were relatives by marriage, if he turned his head to attack Yuanzhou, he would be torn apart and eaten by the big and small leaders of the tribe.

After wiping away the ticking sweat again, Li Yanli finally knelt down on one knee.

"Reporting to Sikong, Li Zhongchao in Yuanzhou has been loyal to the imperial court for several generations. There must be a misunderstanding today. I wish to go to the city and say that Li Zhongchao will come out to explain."

"Boom!" While the two were talking, the Ximen of Yuanzhou was finally knocked down by a large part.

Zhang Zhao smiled lightly, and grabbed Li Yanli's arm, Li Yanli was shocked and wanted to pull it back, but he couldn't pull it back, his face turned pale with fright.

"Explanation? I don't think it's necessary. Let's go to the city with me and let Li Zhongchao explain to a certain long knife!"

Li Yanli, who couldn't pull back his arm, was a smart man after all, he saw that Hexi soldiers didn't rush in while the city wall was collapsing, and he immediately understood something.

"I would also like to ask the Marshal Jie to be magnanimous. Our Dongshan Dangxiang in Gyeongju and the Wonju Dangxiang are both loyal to the imperial court."

"In a quarter of an hour, if Li Zhongchao can restrain himself and surrender, I will save his life. Of course, I will spare your lives too!"

Zhang Zhao giggled, looking a little tired, but his eyes revealed fierceness.

Because Bai Congxin's subordinate, who spared a big circle, finally bypassed the Qingshui River and suddenly appeared behind Dongshan Dangxiang.

These party members scattered scouts to the left and right, but Zhang Zhao had already arranged for people to come around from the upper reaches of the Qingshui River.

The equipment gap between the two sides was too large, and they thought that the Guiyi Army was an imperial army, so they were at a psychological disadvantage. As soon as Bai Congxin walked around to the back, with more than [-] riders from Dongshan, he began to flee to the west.

"Please Sikong show mercy! Someone is willing to enter the city!" Li Yanli finally knelt on his knees. Others have better horses and bows than them, and they seem to be very familiar with this kind of chasing battle between light cavalry.

These four thousand riders are thirty percent of Dongshan's party members, and even if they lose one or two tenths, they can't afford it.

. . . .

Li Zhongchao, with gray beard and hair, cried and fell into the dust, kowtowing non-stop to Zhang Zhao. In front of him, the head of the Li clan chief of the Shatuo tribe in Lanzhou was covered with dust and still dripping blood.

"If it wasn't for the urgent call of the imperial court, I would definitely kill your whole family today!" Zhang Zhao snorted coldly, but he would not kill Li Zhongchao's family, he wanted Yuanzhou to be a logistics center, so that he could enter Weizhou with peace of mind to quell the chaos .

"Li Yanli, ask your brother to send a thousand riders, Li Zhongchao, Yuanzhou Dangxiang, at least two thousand riders, you and your sons and grandsons will go south with someone to quell the chaos. If you put your heart into it, you will be rewarded."

The lives of the two Tuoba Li clan leaders are in Zhang Zhao's hands, how dare they resist!

Especially Li Yanli from the Dongshan Department, his intestines were full of regrets, he thought it was the imperial soldiers here?I naively thought that I could use four thousand horses as the capital to come to make a deal.

As a result, he didn't know that what he was facing was not one or two thousand elite cavalry, but more than five thousand elite cavalry in full armor.

Zhang Zhao let out a sigh of relief, and entered Yuanzhou smoothly. Zhang Zhao's looted proceeds along the way were also stored somewhere.

In addition, he also extorted a large sum of corn, cattle and sheep from Li Zhongchao. Since the situation in Guanzhong is critical, Zhang Zhao can't take it slowly step by step.

He decided to turn Yuanzhou into a logistics base, coercing the local party item to go south with him to quell the chaos, and then let Liu Zaisheng lead an army of [-] and more than [-] volunteer cavalry to stay in Yuanzhou, and he would go south day and night.

Zhang Zhao felt that the scale of the Weizhou mutiny might not be small, otherwise Shi Jingtang would not be so anxious.
