Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 478 Finale
Yang Yanzhang said sternly: "An Lushan has an elite force in the army called black armored soldiers, known as the Thousand Guards. These people are usually hidden in various military camps and only listen to An Lushan's orders.

Yang Yanzhang decided to start preparations to attack Shanhaiguan.

He believed that as long as he captured Shanhaiguan, he could march straight into Luoyang City and capture the rebel An Lushan.

Of course, the most important thing is how to avoid harming innocent people in this process.

Therefore, he ordered all the people to ensure the success rate of each operation and absolutely did not allow any casualties.

However, Yang Yanzhang also knew that some things could not be done just because he wanted to, so he still arranged for a few close friends to be ready to help him evacuate Shanhaiguan at any time.

At this moment, news suddenly came from Shanhaiguan: "Report! Commander, the bandits have occupied Shanhaiguan, guard Zhang Wenyuan has been killed, and the food and grass in the city have been burned!"

"What? What did you say? Zhang Wenyuan died in the battle?"

Yang Yanzhang looked at his men in shock. He never thought that the good situation that was originally a sure victory would be reversed overnight.

"Yes, Commander, Zhang Wenyuan died under the sword of the traitor."

Immediately afterwards, another scout rushed back and reported: "Commander, the bandit chief Gao Shun has occupied the Huanghua Ferry in the southeast of Shanhaiguan, and the bandit army is setting off from the ferry."

"Quick! Send people to Huanghua Ferry to stop the attack, and at the same time mobilize troops to seize Huanghua Ferry!" Yang Yanzhang shouted eagerly. He felt that the only thing to be thankful for now was that the enemy was still unclear and Shanhaiguan had been lost.

Therefore, he must seize Huanghua Ferry first in a short period of time. As long as he can block the rebel army, he still has a chance to reverse the defeat.

The scout hurried over again to report: "Commander Qi, the bandit army has captured Huanghua Ferry!"

"What?" Yang Yanzhang's face suddenly turned pale. He knew in his heart that if Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of thieves, he would not be able to evacuate calmly. Because the bandit army will definitely pursue him and fight until he is annihilated.

Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhang immediately issued a new order: "The entire army listened to the order and rushed towards Huanghua Ferry!"

He knew that he could not afford to delay now. If he continued to stay in Shanhaiguan and wait for reinforcements, then by the time the reinforcements arrived, Shanhaiguan would have changed hands long ago.

"Commander, Huanghua Ferry is too far away from us. It is difficult for the cavalry to rush over. The general suggests using infantry to resist the thieves!" A general stood up and retorted. He felt that the cavalry could not rescue Huanghua Ferry now.

Yang Yanzhang shook his head and said, "No! Although the thieves have just captured Huanghua Ferry, their actual control area is wider than ours. If we send infantry there, once we are attacked, our soldiers will be attacked from both sides."

"Besides, Huanghua Ferry is a natural danger and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if we use infantry to forcefully cross the river, there is no point. Therefore, we must rely on cavalry."

As the commander-in-chief, Yang Yanzhang considered the issue very carefully. Therefore, he concluded that after the bandits captured Huanghua Ferry, they would not give up easily, because once they gave up Huanghua Ferry, a defeat would be waiting for them. Therefore, we must strike while the iron is hot and strive to capture Huanghua Ferry.

Seeing that Yang Yanzhang had already made a decision, everyone did not dare to refute. So, Yang Yanzhang took more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, took a boat up the river, and went straight to Huanghua Ferry.

Huanghua Ferry is about three thousand miles away from Yang Yanzhang and the others. This mode of water transportation is actually similar to the train, but more flexible.

After all, ancient people's utilization rate of water was still very low.

Half a day later, Yang Yanzhang finally led his troops to the vicinity of Huanghua Ferry.

"Report! Commander, we found a large number of rebel soldiers gathered at the ferry." The scout's urgent voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

Yang Yanzhang frowned slightly: "Bold thief! You dare to surround us. You are simply seeking death! They are all here. Let me kill them all!"

Yang Yanzhang led an army of more than 100,000 people and rushed toward Huanghua Ferry.

However, Yang Yanzhang did not notice that there were countless crossbowmen hidden in the woods outside Huanghua Ferry.

When his army appeared outside Huanghua Ferry, arrows flew out like raindrops.

Countless blood splashed out, accompanied by bursts of screams. In an instant, thousands of Han troops fell into a pool of blood.

"There's an ambush! There's an ambush! Get out of here!"

Yang Yanzhang was immediately taken aback and hurriedly waved his spear to resist the dense tidal wave of arrows. However, there were too many arrows.

Yang Yanzhang was stabbed with several feather arrows.

Then the giant tree was pushed out of the woods and hit the shore hard.

Countless soldiers were buried under the giant trees, their flesh and blood mutilated.

"Commander, leave quickly! There are too many enemies, and we can't hold on for long!" the deputy general reminded anxiously.

Yang Yanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "There are so many of us, even if we only have one arm and one leg left, we must fight to break through this line of defense, otherwise we will definitely die when reinforcements arrive!"

"The whole army is charging at me! Kill!"

Yang Yanzhang roared loudly and led the troops forward bravely.

Rebellious traitor An Lushan, die!

Yang Yanzhang roared crazily and led his soldiers to charge towards the opponent.

Yang Yanzhang also raised the spear in his hand and chopped it down hard.

A huge momentum emerged on the battlefield, and Yang Yanzhang's anger turned into a ball of blazing flames, burning everything around and swallowing up everything.

This scene also infected the other soldiers, and they all followed suit, fusing their anger and hatred together to form a monstrous rage, and then killed the enemy.

Yang Yanzhang and his party finally broke through the enemy's blockade.

Soon, Yang Yanzhang occupied the camp.

Yang Yanzhang raised his sword high and shouted: "Chase the enemy commander for me!"

The Ming army rushed out of the camp like wolves and tigers and began to look for the enemy general.

Soon after, An Lushan was finally forced to show up, but was hit hard and killed on the spot.

Yang Yanzhang ordered people to tie An Lushan's body with a rope, and then escorted him outside the camp to be watched by officials and people.

Yang Yanzhang also specially arranged for someone to put up a big sign next to the big tent, and wrote a letter saying: "The rebels have been destroyed. Now I, Yang, personally kill An Lushan. If you dare to rebel, An Lushan will be your fate."

When this news spread, the remnant rebels who had fled completely collapsed.

At the same time, Yang Yanzhang sent someone to hang An Lushan's head on the city gate to warn the other rebels: whoever dares to make mistakes will surely die without a burial place.

After this incident spread all over the world, Yang Yanzhang became even more famous.

There were no more resisters in Datang's territory.

From then on, there were no more wars in the Tang Dynasty, and the people lived a comfortable, prosperous and healthy life.
