Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 673

The rebels swarmed to flee into the city.

Datang's cavalry and soldiers chased after him.

Some of the rebels escaped through the moat, and at this time, Han Yi had already fled into the city.

He stood on the tower, watching the battle situation below, and after concentrating his eyebrows, he immediately ordered: "Pull up the suspension bridge!"

Hearing that the suspension bridge was going to be pulled up, the expressions of the lieutenants beside him moved slightly.

"General, we still have a lot of soldiers who haven't escaped back."

"Pull up the suspension bridge!" Han Yi's words could not be refuted. He knew very well that if the suspension bridge was not raised, Dangyang City would really be unable to defend itself when the Tang family rushed over.

In this situation, they can only survive with broken arms.

He could only abandon those rebels who did not escape.

The suspension bridge was pulled up, and the moat was very long, directly blocking the Tang army outside the moat. As the rebels fled into the city, the city gate was also closed, and the sharp arrows of the rebels flew over the tower. , Stop Tang Jun from moving forward.

But at this time, those rebels who failed to escape into the city were dumbfounded.

They were suddenly disappointed and sad, they were abandoned by their general just like that.

They were abandoned, and at the same time, they felt betrayed, as if they sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy, it was simply a joke.

The mad army is still harvesting, and today's rebels have completely lost their resistance.

However, at this moment, Qin Tian suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop."

The Mad Demon Army was killing the enemy, but after Qin Tian gave an order, they still stopped.

The rebels were surrounded, they were somewhat desperate, they knew they were facing death, and they could die at any time.

"This Marquis knows that you are all refugees, and you turned to the rebels for your livelihood. But now, as long as you are willing to surrender to the imperial court, I will spare your lives and give you food. If you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded."

After these desperate refugees heard Qin Tian's words, their expressions suddenly changed, and then someone stood up: "Surrender, I surrender..."

When one surrenders, the others follow suit.

About a few hundred rebels all surrendered.

Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered people to take them away and organize them. At the same time, he ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

Although it was outside Dangyang City, the Tang army didn't have the slightest scruples. They took away all the rebels' weapons and everything, and the rebels on the tower looked distressed, but they couldn't do anything about it.

After the weapons were taken away, Tang Jun returned to the camp. By this time, it was already before dusk.

It was still very bright, and the heat was fading away, and the cicadas, who didn't know when to stop, suddenly rang out.

Qin Tian brought Hu Shiba and the others to inspect the weapons. Hu Shiba, Qin Wu and the others had obviously noticed something strange.

"Master Hou, these rebels are so rich." Qin Wu couldn't help but say something, Qin Tian smiled: "You also found out? I really didn't expect that these rebels are just a series of refugees. , but the King of Chu, Li Dongdong, distributed such weapons to them, so the rich have no place to spend them."

These weapons are all forged swords and long spears, each of which is made of solid iron, even the Tang court, nowadays there is not so much money to dare to equip every soldier of the government with high-quality weapons.

However, it is so strange that Chu Wang Li Hedong can do it.

It is impossible to say that Li Hedong is rich.

In the land of Jingchu, the climate is not particularly good, and because of the mountains, the transportation is inconvenient, the trade is not very developed, and the economy is not prosperous. How about the money from the King of Chu?
But Qin Tian also knew very well that it was probably because of these weapons that the King of Chu dared to take the opportunity to rebel, otherwise he would not have dared to borrow his guts.

"Master Hou, why don't you call those rebels who surrendered to ask what's going on?" Qin Wu suddenly thought of those rebels who surrendered, Qin Tian nodded, and soon, a rebel was brought up.

"Where did you get these weapons?"

When Qin Tian asked this question, the rebels thought it was a bit strange, but they quickly responded: "Master Hou, these are distributed to us by the King of Chu."

"Does everyone have it?"

"That's right, everyone has one. The [-] soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are also equipped with high-quality weapons."

Qin Tian's expression moved slightly, and he asked again: "Where did King Chu get these weapons?"

"This subordinate is not clear."

The king of Chu secretly forged the weapon and hid it very well. It is normal for ordinary rebels not to know about it. Qin Tian didn't ask any further questions. After nodding, he let the rebel back out.

Everyone stood in the big tent, looking at each other, all helpless.

Here, Qin Tian said after a while: "Okay, let's ignore him for now. In today's battle, we wiped out almost half of the rebels, and there are still five thousand rebels in the city. Now we have to think about how to defeat the enemy." Policy will do."

They had to break through the city as soon as possible. Only by breaking down the city gates could the rebels be put down as soon as possible. What's more, Qin Tian also needed the command right this time.

However, after Qin Tian finished speaking, none of the people could think of a way out. Most of them were military generals, so it was difficult for them to kill the enemy and make suggestions as military advisors.

Seeing this, Qin Tian's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Is no one willing to stand up and speak out?"

Everyone looked at each other, at this time, Luo Huang stood up: "Master Hou, I have something to say."

Since Luo Huang joined Qin Tian, ​​he has kept a low profile on weekdays. After all, he knew his previous identity, so he didn't dare to make it too public. Even though he was known for his strategy, he was not known by others.

However, seeing Qin Tian asking today, he boldly stood up.

Seeing that it was Luo Huang, Qin Tian didn't have the slightest intention of belittling him, and said: "Okay, Luo Huang, you can say what you have. If you can solve this problem in a good way, you will be the military advisor of this Marquis from now on."

Luo Huang was a little flattered to hear that he was a military advisor. He used to be a bandit and robbed the court of food, so it was pretty good not to be beheaded. Now Qin Tian still treats him like this, which makes him very moved .

Gathering his mind, Luo Huang said: "Master Hou, judging from what Han Yi has done today, I am afraid he is just an inexperienced person with little ability and a bit arrogant, working under such a person, It must be very uncomfortable. Maybe there are people under him who are bullied by Han Yi, and these people used to be officials of our Tang Dynasty. If we can sneak into the city, win over these people, and then cooperate with such people, Then it is not difficult to destroy Dangyang City."

Speaking of this, Luo Huang said again: "Master Hou, this subordinate is willing to sneak into Dangyang City, help Master Hou persuade such people, and make meritorious service for Master Hou."
