Chapter 694 Battle in Xiliang ([-])
After Guo Zicheng's men left, Guan Shanyue stood up, walked out of the big tent and said to Zhang Qing beside him: "The morale is available, gather the whole army and attack Xiliang."

"Take the order." Zhang Qing bowed and cupped his hands to accept the order.

All the officers and soldiers of the new army were filled with indignation, worrying that they had no place to vent their anger. At this moment, the army was full of drums and trumpet battalions, and everyone understood that this was the general's order to go to battle.

Many soldiers of the new army quickly assembled in front of the gate of the camp.

Looking at the trembling soldiers, Guan Shanyue nodded, with Lin Ang, Zhang Qing, and Gu He on the left, and He Xiangning and Gao Chengyi on the right.

"Marshal, don't you stay behind in the army?" Lin Ang couldn't help asking when he realized that Guan Shanyue had gathered the whole army.

Guan Shanyue shook her head: "Today we must attack Xiliang with all our might, otherwise the soldiers will lose all their vigor."

Again and again, again and again, Lin Ang also understands this truth, so he didn't continue to say more.

However, after gathering the whole army, Guan Shanyue was not in a hurry to send troops, as if she was waiting for something.

The lieutenant officers were trained by Guan Shanyue himself. Naturally, the military discipline was strict, and no one made a sound after waiting for a long time. All of them were looking directly at their commander Guan Shanyue, waiting for Guan Shanyue's order.

Not long after, one person and one rider in the army slowly walked out.

Hearing this voice, Guan Shanyue could finally let go of the boulder that was raised in her heart.

Li Tianshan came to Guan Shanyue's side on his horse, He Xiangning and Gao Chengyi immediately gave Li Tianshan a seat to sit side by side with Guan Shanyue.

Seeing Li Tianshan approaching, Guan Shanyue cupped her hands with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Lord Superintendent, for your help."

"It's all about doing things for the imperial court, not helping others." Li Tianshan still had a lukewarm attitude towards Guan Shanyue and others.

Regarding this point, several generals of the new army are familiar with it, and they have nothing to say, let alone they have promised to help, what else can I say?Moreover, no one can fault Li Tianshan's words.

The new army attacked Xiliang City for the sake of the imperial court's face. No one would be so stupid as to lead a mighty army into Xiliang without the imperial court's will. , You can’t die in Xiliang, and when you go back to the court, regardless of the outcome, you will definitely be convicted and beheaded according to the law. After all, this involves leading the army privately, whether it is the royal family or other ministers, this is the most dreadful thing.

If you don't deal with it strictly, someone might lead troops to attack the capital next time.

Guan Shanyue nodded with emotion, he finally understood Li Tianshan a little bit, a person who works for the court thoroughly, although Li Tianshan has been staying in the palace, but the tip he got from Guo Zicheng, he learned that Li Tianshan was not He is not a person attached to the powerful. After he became the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army, he practiced the Imperial Forest Army day and night, which increased the combat power of the Imperial Forest Army several times. hello.

Although many people thought that Li Tianshan did this just to show courtesy to the Empress Dowager, but Guan Shanyue understood it, as if he saw a young self, a young man full of passion who only wanted to serve the country.

However, when I was young, I was much worse than Li Tianshan, whether it was martial arts or luck; at that time, I had no way to serve the country, and only my wife knew this sadness.

Turning her head, Guan Shanyue looked at all the soldiers with a serious face, and shouted loudly: "Today, Lord Supervisor will fight side by side with us and capture Xiliang City together. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes... yes... yes" the soldiers of the new army roared loudly. For them, Li Tianshan's joining was undoubtedly a powerful and powerful helper. Li Tianshan's skills were widely circulated among the soldiers of the new army.

Li Tianshan was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army. Tens of thousands of imperial forest troops besieged Li Tianshan with their bare hands and none of them could hurt Li Tianshan.

"Let's go." The orderly shouted.

The whole army turned back together and walked towards Xiliang City.

At this time, Guan Shanyue didn't know what Tianyinke had done on the left and right gaps in Xiliang City.

Because, there is a sharpshooter in Xiliang City, once Tanqi intends to approach Xiliang City to investigate, he will be shot and killed with one arrow, and he will hit a hundred shots from a thousand meters away, making all the Tanqi in the new army tremble.

Therefore, the only news that was brought back to Guan Shanyue was that the Xiliang army repaired the city wall overnight, but it was only half the original height.

It is not surprising to Guan Shanyue that the Xiliang army repaired the gap in the city wall. If it were him, he would speed up the repair of the gap in the city wall, so Guan Shanyue's plan is to break through two gaps.

Originally, Guan Shanyue was going to make four gaps yesterday, but the armor-piercing arrows in the army had been exhausted. However, Guan Shanyue didn't think the city wall repaired overnight would be strong. As long as Gao Chengyi or his wife It only takes two or three blows to break through such a temporarily repaired city wall.

When the new army got closer and closer to Xiliang City, Guan Shanyue frowned: Why is the gap red?

But it is only a momentary doubt, whether it is red or white, it will be destroyed later.

However, without waiting for Guan Shanyue's order to stop, the army in front stopped and stared at the two gaps in Xiliang City in a daze.

"What's Gao Chengyi doing?" The front army stopped, and the army behind naturally couldn't move forward and had to stop. Guan Shanyue was in the middle army, and felt a little displeased when the whole army suddenly stopped.

"Marshal, I will go and have a look." Lin Ang was about to drive his horse to see what happened, but he saw Gao Chengyi galloping towards him.

"What happened?" Guan Shanyue's first thought was that something happened to the former army when he saw Gao Chengyi galloping towards him anxiously.

"The commander is not good, the Xiliang army built the city with the corpses of our soldiers..." Gao Chengyi also had a look of surprise when he said this.

"Corpse... build a city with corpses? How is this possible?" Guan Shanyue looked at the two gaps in Xiliang City again. They were indeed bright red like blood, but she had never heard of such things as building a city with corpses, even for the older generation of generals. Never heard of such a thing?

"With him here, nothing is impossible." Li Tianshan could see from a distance that the gap was indeed a corpse, but he did not tell Guan Shanyue, because Xiliang City had to be breached, and the matter had been delayed for several days. It has been a year, and the imperial court has spent a lot of money in the new army. If it does not get an ideal result, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will have objections.

Although the empress dowager was respected by the ministers in the court, the imperial party members still supported the new emperor to take charge of the government in person, and they only wanted to invite the empress dowager who listened to the government back to the court, otherwise she would interfere in the government.

Therefore, Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui, two members of the imperial party, hooked up with Guan Shanyue. Their ideas were simple, but vicious.

If Guan Shanyue won, they would recruit Guan Shanyue to become a royalist faction to fight against the empress dowager. With an army in their hands, they would naturally be much more confident.

If Guan Shanyue is defeated, they can make use of the issue to push the new emperor to be in charge as soon as possible.

Of course, Li Tianshan wanted Guan Shanyue to win. After all, the victorious Guan Shanyue was much easier to deal with than the defeated Guan Shanyue. If Guan Shanyue lost, the public opinion would attack the Empress Dowager, and there was nothing to stop her.

If Guan Shanyue wins, Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui will all die in Lin Shihao's hands.

The two giants of the royalist faction can be eradicated without the empress dowager acting personally.

Over the years, Guo Zicheng, who served as the commander of Jinyiwei, joined forces with Liu Rui to continuously strengthen the strength of the imperial party members, forming a royalist faction, no longer just a lonely and helpless imperial party member.

Regarding Guo Zicheng's actions, the Empress Dowager was naturally aware of them, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, what they were doing was to consolidate the imperial power, and if they were to deal with them, it would undoubtedly set them on fire.

Originally, the empress dowager wanted to use Lin Shihao to suppress Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui, but Lin Shihao always had an attitude of not worrying about his own affairs, and he didn't care about the disputes in the court at all.

This also made the empress dowager a little confused about Lin Shihao's mentality, that is, he did not draw close to the royalists of the imperial party, nor surrendered to himself, and seemed to want to maintain a neutral and on the sidelines attitude.

Regarding the empress dowager's doubts, Li Tianshan gave an answer: Lin Shihao was guarding the family business for Cao Zhuo and Tian Yinke.

For Lin Shihao, Jinyiwei is already his home, Cao Zhuo is like this, Tianyinke is even more so, but Tianyinke is not a family guard, but a person who strengthens the family business.

After Tianyinke became the acting commander, all the dignitaries and generals in the country could only swallow their anger and dare not contend with what they did to Jinyiwei. This is enough to prove that Tianyinke has developed the strength of Jinyiwei. to what extent.

Therefore, to deal with Jin Yiwei, it must be Jin Yiwei.

The cronies of Guo Zicheng who conveyed the news to Guan Shanyue before had already been brainwashed by Li Tianshan, otherwise Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui would never have done anything to provoke Lin Shihao with their prudence. The people inside made Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui know that this was Lin Shihao's bottom line.

Twenty Jin Yiwei were shown to the public, but there were no bones left; for Lin Shihao, it was undoubtedly Guo Zicheng and Liu Rui's declaration of war on him, and the capital was about to turmoil.

Guan Shanyue hurriedly drove to the front of the army, and carefully looked at the gap. It was indeed the corpse of a soldier of the own army, and it was frozen, no wonder the city could be built.

Frozen, you don't have to think about who did the good thing.

Immediately, Guan Shanyue became anxious and spit out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the blood, Guan Shanyue hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, not wanting to be seen by the soldiers.

Gao Chengyi and Lin Ang looked worried: "Marshal, take care of yourself."

Guan Shanyue shook her head, and looked at the soldiers behind her. The previous indignant morale had long since disappeared without a trace.
