Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 293 Solving the Siege of Nanyang ([-])

As the gold, silver and jewels still on the ground of the Khitan and Xi people were collected and counted, the eyes of Li Fei, Wu Sheng, Lu Xin and every other Andong cavalry general widened.

Not to mention other rare treasures, there are more than 18 taels of gold ready-made, more than 56 taels of silver, and copper coins may be too heavy, but there are not many and less than 20 taels.But all of these are now worth nearly 260 million guan. If those rare treasures are added together, the total value may not be less than 500 million guan!

"I'm going, the Khitan people and the Xi people have grabbed so many!" Li Fei clicked his tongue. No wonder the Khitan people rose again so quickly after the Anshi Rebellion in history, and they were out of control, and finally even established the Liao Kingdom. The reason why such a huge amount of wealth was plundered from the Central Plains was returned.

However, Li Fei is now cheaper than him.

"Pass down the order, each soldier will be rewarded with a hundred guan! The generals will be doubled according to their ranks!" Excited, Li Fei waved his hand, and directly rewarded a large amount of wealth without hesitation.

The most ordinary soldiers can get one hundred guan, 200 soldiers added together, more than 100 million guan is gone, basically all the cash rewards have been rewarded, although it is a bit extravagant, but [-] Anton cavalry followed him Intimidating Li Heng at Maweiyi, and counting Tang Xuanzong's people, after all, they are the former princes, and now the new emperor Tang Suzong and the Supreme Emperor. The Tang Dynasty has ruled for more than [-] years, and the imperial power is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although Li Fei is confident that he came from Anton The Anton iron cavalry officers and soldiers of the Duhu Mansion are definitely more towards him, but Li Fei is not at all uneasy. Now that he can use a windfall to further unite people's hearts, Li Fei feels that it is worthwhile to reward them all.

"Long live my lord! Long live!" Sure enough, as soon as Li Fei's order was passed on, the [-] soldiers shouted excitedly.

After a short rest, Li Fei led another [-] Anton cavalry to kill Nanyang.

Before launching a surprise attack on the rebels under Nanyang City, Li Fei asked A Niu and other members of Jinyiwei to try to tell the news to Lu Jiong, the governor of Shannan Road in the city, so that he could prepare to lead the army out of the city to respond.

"What, have reinforcements finally come to rescue the siege?" In Nanyang City, Lu Jiong could hardly believe it when he suddenly received the news that Li Fei would lead [-] cavalry to rescue the siege.

For half a year, he had been looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements all the time, but he was disappointed. The others were all soft-hearted people who were afraid of rebelling against the army, and no reinforcements were willing to come to relieve the siege of Nanyang.Now that the grain and grass in the city have been exhausted, if no one comes to relieve the siege, or send a batch of grain and grass into the city, he will not be able to survive.

"Li Fei, that noble concubine's adopted son Wu Guogong, Anton Jiedushi. A hero born a boy!" Naturally, Lu Jiong has also heard of Li Fei's name. The Battle of Khitan and the Battle of Bohai Kingdom have all proved that Li Fei It is not because of the relationship with Concubine Yang that he got the high position, but because he has real talents and real learning. What is even more surprising is Li Fei's age. Even now Li Fei is only 21 years old, which is even more important. Rare.

"So, I will also rectify the army and horses, and go out of the city at any time to flank the rebels!" Lu Jiong was excited and immediately went to rectify the remaining soldiers and horses in the city.

Outside Nanyang City, this was the first large-scale attack on Nanyang City by the rebels after the Khitan cavalry and Xi cavalry left.

"Attack!" Wu Lingxun ordered.

"Kill!" Thousands of anti-army soldiers rushed towards the city wall of Nanyang, climbing up the city wall like ants through the ladder to fight with the defenders on the city wall.

If the more than 6000 rebels under Wu Lingxun's command were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles, Nanyang City would have been captured by him long ago.It's a pity that the real elite is only the [-] troops who marched south from Luoyang City at the beginning, and nearly [-] people were killed or injured in the Battle of Yingchuan. Now Wu Lingxun's truly fierce elites of hundreds of battles are no more than [-] people, the so-called [-] Yu Dajun is more of a mob without much training.

In half a year, except for the continuous onslaught in the first month, the military orders in the following months were mainly besieged, supplemented by small-scale sieges.

This large-scale siege of the city was only done by Wu Lingxun because he wanted to test the specific situation of the defenders in the city.

Telescopes are a sharp tool for observing the enemy's situation from a distance, and they have already widely appeared in the anti-army or Datang army.

Wu Lingxun also used binoculars to clearly observe the situation of the defenders on the city wall. From the mental outlook of the defenders, the agility of raising their knives, etc., he analyzed the morale of the defenders, the situation of food and grass in the city, and so on.

It has to be said that after all, Wu Lingxun is a general under An Lushan's command who is as famous as Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Cui Qianyou, etc., and he has a certain level.

After a fierce siege for more than half a day, the rebels still failed to break into the city, and instead killed and injured thousands of soldiers.

Although they failed to enter the city, Wu Lingxun could tell that the shortage of food and grass in Nanyang City had reached its limit. Perhaps it would not take many days for the city to surrender without a fight because of the exhaustion of food and grass.

In order to boost the morale of his own side, Wu Lingxun deliberately asked people to let the defenders in Nanyang City run out of food and grass. Then he rushed into Nanyang City and took a good plunder.

At night, most of the anti-army soldiers were resting, and the whole day of siege battles during the day really made them tired.

Wu Lingxun also took off his armor to rest. Compared with ordinary soldiers, Wu Lingxun's tent was full of beauties waiting on him. These were all given to him by his subordinates in Yingchuan and around Nanyang.

After half a year, these beauties, Wu Lingxun, were a little tired of playing, and they thought about changing to a few 'new ones' after they broke through Nanyang City.

Wu Lingxun and most of the rebel soldiers were resting. They didn't realize at all that an elite cavalry had already taken advantage of the darkness and quietly killed them less than ten miles away from their camp.

Several elite squads of Anton Iron Cavalry kept besieging and killing the anti-military scouts who were patrolling the night.

call out!
what--
The arrows of the God Arm Crossbow shot into the fleeing rebel scouts, killing them and falling off their horses.

In the rear, [-] Anton cavalry were also approaching the rebel camp.

Soon, a large anti-military camp appeared in front of Li Fei.

"In the past half a year, no support army came to rescue Nanyang, which made the rebel army a little too conceited, and let my cavalry directly touch their camp so easily." Li Fei sneered, this sneak attack Most of the success has been achieved, and now the only thing that can prevent Anton's cavalry from rushing directly into the rebel camp is a wooden fence surrounding the rebel camp.

"The whole army charges, kill!" Li Fei no longer hesitated, and directly ordered Anton's iron cavalry to charge towards the anti-army camp.

"Kill!" The [-] Anton cavalry stabbed out of the dark night like sharp swords,

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The anti-army soldiers who were patrolling the night in the camp found the Anton iron cavalry who suddenly charged out of the dark night, immediately widened their eyes in horror, and roared in panic.
