Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 270

"Yan Gaoqing, you betrayed His Majesty, I will escort you to Luoyang, and let His Majesty cut you apart!" Shi Siming shouted looking at the captured Yan Gaoqing.

"Damn! An Lushan is a rebel who dares to call himself His Majesty, and has been ridiculed by the world!" Yan Gaoqing sneered, not caring about her fate at all, only cursing An Lushan.

Shi Siming was furious, but he didn't bother to argue with Yan Gaoqing, a defeated general, so he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Yan Gaoqing down.

After capturing Yan Gaoqing, Shi Siming and Cai Xide continued to kill the remaining defenders in the city.

Affected by An Lushan's pioneering practice of condoning soldiers in Luoyang for rape and looting, Shi Siming, Cai Xide, and a large number of anti-army generals were Hu people, who were already violent and bloodthirsty. The mountain city turned into hell.Not counting the defenders who were killed, there were over ten thousand ordinary people in the city who were slaughtered by them, and the corpses of innocent people were everywhere.

Over there, Wang Chengye learned that Changshan City had fallen, so he didn't wait any longer, and immediately led [-] soldiers under his command to attack Changshan City, intending to take advantage of Shi Siming, Cai Xide and other rebels who were exhausted and suffered heavy losses from the continuous attack on the city. , Sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Report!"

"Two generals, Wang Chengye's Tang army has been dispatched and is heading towards Changshan!" The rebel scouts who had been monitoring Wang Chengye's army reported the news to Shi Siming and Cai Xide.

"Good time, we can take advantage of the prestige of breaking Changshan and defeat it in one fell swoop!" Shi Siming and Cai Xide knew that Wang Chengye had hidden a large army thirty miles away from Changshan City.

If it wasn't for Wang Chengye's delay in standing still and watching them attack Changshan, and their main purpose was to capture Changshan first, they would have ignored Wang Chengye.

Now that Changshan has been captured by them, Wang Chengye came to kill at this time to reap the benefits of the fisherman, which was exactly what they wanted, and defeated Wang Chengye's [-] Tang troops in one fell swoop.

Wang Chengye thought that Shi Siming and Cai Xide and other rebels would be exhausted after attacking the city for several days, and the loss was not small, so he wanted to take advantage of it. Didn't Shi Siming and Cai Xide know that he led the army to hide in that small town, and they didn't let him go at all. in the eyes.

Immediately, Cai Xide continued to search for the remnants of the defenders in the city with [-] rebels, and captured the family members of Changshan officials such as Yan Gaoqing, while Shi Siming led other rebels to meet Wang Chengye's [-] Tang troops.

Although there are [-] soldiers under Wang Chengye's command, in fact, just like Yan Gaoqing's, most of them are newly recruited mobs who have not received any training, and they don't have much combat effectiveness at all. root cause.

On the other hand, Shi Siming and Cai Xide's rebellion, although they attacked the city for three consecutive days, did lose more than 4000 soldiers, and the other soldiers were indeed a little tired.

However, the elite of the hundred battles is the elite of the hundred battles, and the exhaustion has long since been exhausted after venting for a while after breaking Changshan City and raping and looting.Today's rebel soldiers are like a rainbow.

More than 1 rebels faced Wang Chengye's [-] Tang troops. As soon as the two sides met, Shi Siming ordered the rebels to take the initiative to attack.

"Kill!" Shi Siming's more than 5000 rebel cavalry and [-] rebel infantry rushed fiercely towards Wang Chengye's [-] Tang troops.

"Defeat the rebels!" Wang Chengye was a little dazed by Shi Siming's rebellion, and then he also ordered his Tang army to fight.

After each round of arrow rain, the rebel cavalry rushed into Wang Chengye's Tang army first.

Most of the Tang army under Wang Chengye's command were newly recruited untrained mobs, and they couldn't form any army formation. The 100 soldiers were all scattered and fought on their own. Just one meeting made Shi Siming rush into [-] with the anti-army cavalry. Duomi, and Shi Siming and other anti-army cavalry continued to rush forward, and they turned out to be planning to cut through Wang Chengye's [-] Tang troops in one fell swoop.

Soon, seven thousand anti-army infantry also killed Wang Chengye and Tang Jun together.

To deal with a mob like Wang Chengye, the anti-army infantry didn't bother to form an army formation. They opened and closed the Mo Dao and Heng Dao in their hands, and they killed Wang Chengye's Tang soldiers with heavy casualties.

"The anti-army is so fierce!" Wang Chengye's face was extremely ugly. It took less than half a stick of incense between the two sides to fight, and he knew that he was careless. Compared with the soldiers of the Tang army who had only been recruited for a few days, they were still too fierce.

Wang Chengye's [-] Tang soldiers were smashed by Shi Siming's anti-army cavalry, and together with [-] anti-army infantry, they killed his Tang soldiers' corpses all over the field.

He fell into a disadvantage from the very beginning of the confrontation, and Wang Chengye found out in horror that if he continued to fight, he would also be in danger of being wiped out.

"Pass my military order, retreat, the whole army retreats!" Frightened, Wang Chengye also made a wrong decision, and actually issued an order to the whole army to retreat under such circumstances.

Not only that, Wang Chengye also left the army with his own soldiers, and fled towards the east first.

Wang Chengye's stupid decision, coupled with his first defeat and escape, directly led to the collapse of the entire [-] Tang army under his command.

Manshan is also a soldier of the Tang Army who was defeated and fled.

"Hahahaha, kill!" Shi Siming laughed contemptuously. If Wang Chengye's [-] Tang troops attacked Changshan City with Yan Gaoqing inside and outside when they attacked Changshan, they might be able to contain them, but Wang Chengye actually waited for Changshan to be captured by them. After that, he led the army to fight them in the field, which was simply courting death.

In terms of field battles, they are not even afraid of the Khitan and Xi people, not to mention that Wang Chengye's mob is only a few thousand more than them, even if they are three times their size, they will definitely lose!
Under the pursuit of Shi Siming and other rebels, Wang Chengye's 3000 Tang troops were almost wiped out. Less than [-] people were able to follow Wang Chengye into Hedong, and they caused only about [-] casualties to the rebels. Yan Gaoqing was even more miserable!

However, because of Wang Chengye's defeat, Yan Quanming, the second son of Yan Gaoqing who was under house arrest in the army, took the opportunity to escape.

Due to the capture of Changshan City, the capture of Yan Gaoqing, and the defeat of Wang Chengye's [-] Tang Army, Shi Siming, Cai Xide and other counter-army forces were greatly shaken.

After Shi Siming and Cai Xide left only a few soldiers and horses to stay in Changshan, they divided their troops into two groups, recruiting troops continuously, and sweeping other counties at the same time.

Yecheng, Guangping, Julu, Shanggu, Boling, Wen'an, Xindu, Weizhou, Zhaozhou, etc. were successively recaptured by Shi Siming and Cai Xide and other rebels.

The anti-army such as Shi Siming and Cai Xide not only captured the city, but also let the soldiers plunder every time they went to the city, which brought endless disasters to the people in various states and counties. A large number of people were displaced to escape the war.

Hebei, which was originally in a good situation, suddenly deteriorated completely.
