Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 405 Shi Siming Comes Back?

Even if Shi Siming and his son are in decline, as long as they are not completely dead, they are still bloodthirsty tigers that have eaten people, not grasshoppers after autumn.

It was less than a month before the Tang court accepted the request to surrender, and then ordered a large army to encircle and suppress it, which made Shi Siming's rebel army very angry.

Instigated by Shi Siming, the generals at all levels of the anti-army united against the enemy, and they were united like never before.

Because they felt that since the Tang court could not tolerate Shi Siming's inconsistency, it must also be unable to tolerate them anti-army generals. If Shi Siming was wiped out, their fate would not be much better.

Furthermore, it was Peiping King Li Fei who was afraid of the rebels, but now that Li Fei ordered the Anton Army to withdraw from Jianghuai, what they were facing was only the army of the Tang Dynasty, not the Anton Army that Li Fei feared.

They couldn't beat Li Fei's Anton Army, but they still didn't pay attention to the army of the Tang Dynasty.

The combined army of Jiedushi in Yangzhou, Ezhou, and Jiangxi has a total of 15 Tang troops. However, after a period of respite, Shi Siming has grown to more than [-] rebels, and his strength is not weak.

On December 29, the second year of Qianyuan, the day before New Year's Eve, 15 Tang troops fought a decisive battle with Shi Siming's more than [-] rebels in Chuzhou.

Although the Tang army has a large number of people, the three Jiedu envoys are not people who are good at fighting, but very mediocre. Two of them became Jiedu envoys by fawning on Li Fuguo. train.

As for Shi Siming's anti-army, although the number is small, the anti-army generals are all bloodthirsty and fierce men who have experienced hundreds of battles. Moreover, Shi Siming was defeated all the way from Hebei, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops were completely lost by Li Fei. There are still thousands of elites left.

The three Jiedu envoys of the Tang Army relied on the large number of soldiers on their side, thinking that they could crush grasshoppers like Shi Siming, so they were very arrogant and careless.They imagined that they wiped out Shi Siming and continued to increase their ranks with great contributions.

Shi Siming did not take the initiative to defend, but took the initiative to attack. With the most elite thousands of rebels as the tip of his sword, he suddenly attacked the army that stormed the Yangzhou Jiedushi, and used a destructive strategy.

The three Jiedu envoys of the Tang Army did not belong to each other. The Ezhou Jiedu envoys and Jiangxi Jiedu envoys saw the sudden attack of the rebel army, and they only attacked the Yangzhou Jiedu envoys but ignored them. They didn't know how to react for a while.

This has to be said that Suzong Li Heng made another stinky move. Just like the original Xiangzhou battle, nine Jiedu envoys were gathered, but there was no chief general, and only one eunuch was used to convey military orders.

This time, the three Jiedu Envoys of Yangzhou, Ezhou, and Jiangxi were mobilized. They also did not set up a chief general, and let them fight on their own. They thought that there would be no problem in destroying Shi Siming with the absolute superiority of the number of troops.

It is said that eating a pit can gain wisdom, but Suzong Li Heng didn't believe that the generals were deep in their bones. In order to limit the generals, the same mistakes were made again and again.

Although Ezhou Jiedu Envoy and Jiangxi Jiedu Envoy quickly reported fatigue, they did not immediately lead their troops to help Yangzhou Jiedu Envoy attack Shi Siming together, but "sit on the sidelines and watch the tiger fight".

They thought to themselves, Shi Siming is a big traitor, he once called himself the 'Emperor of Yan', and anyone who defeated Shi Siming in the end would be enough to confer the title of duke or even county king!Among the three Jiedu envoys, the Yangzhou Jiedu envoy is the strongest, with a full [-] soldiers and horses, and the two of them together only have [-]. The first achievement must be the Yangzhou Jiedu envoy Yes, now the rebels are mainly attacking the Yangzhou Jiedu envoy. If the Yangzhou Jiedu envoy is still consumed before the rebel army, and they attack in one fell swoop, wouldn't they win the first prize with fewer troops than the Yangzhou Jiedu envoy?
Out of such a heart, the Jiedu Envoy of Ezhou and the Jiedu Envoy of Jiangxi "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight" for more than an hour.

Without the help of Ezhou Jiedu Envoy and Jiangxi Jiedu Envoy, Yangzhou Jiedu Envoy himself was not much more than Shi Siming's anti-army, and he was beaten by Shi Siming's anti-army.

When the Ezhou Jiedu Envoy and Jiangxi Jiedu Envoy realized that something was wrong, the [-] Tang Army of the Yangzhou Jiedu Envoy had already been defeated.

Seeing the defeat of the largest Tang army, Shi Siming's anti-army morale was greatly boosted. Shi Siming deliberately drove the rout of Yangzhou Jiedushi to attack the Tang army under the command of Ezhou Jiedushi and Jiangxi Jiedushi.

Defeat is contagious. When the Yangzhou Jiedu envoy's rout soldiers rushed into the Tang army under the command of Ezhou Jiedu envoy and Jiangxi Jiedu envoy, and Shi Siming's rebel army chased after them, Ezhou Jiedu envoy and Jiangxi Jiedu envoy The Tang army under Dushi's command was also coerced and defeated together.

The armies of the two Jiedu envoys were coerced and defeated before even a single battle.

When the two Jiedu envoys came back to their senses, it was too late, they were so frightened that they turned and ran away desperately.

The two envoys also fled, and Tang Jun's military morale became even more chaotic, and he hated his parents for not giving him two extra legs.

The great defeat in the mountains and plains was really like a mountain falling. Shi Siming's anti-army continued to chase and kill fiercely. The 15 Tang army was defeated like a slaughtered lamb. After chasing and killing them in one day, the area around Chuzhou was killed like a river of blood.

With the three major envoys, the 15 Tang army was defeated!
With the defeat of the three major envoys and the power of 15 Tang troops, Shi Siming's anti-army swept across Lai'an, Dingyuan, Fengyang, and Shouzhou around Chuzhou, and even approached the city of Yangzhou. , Half of Huainan was captured by Shi Siming again, and the rebel army grew to more than 10 people.

All of a sudden, Shi Siming seemed to be resurrected with full blood, and he was likely to sweep the entire Huainan and rise again.

The south of the Yangtze River was shaken, for fear that Shi Siming would lead the rebels to kill the Yangtze River.

When the news spread to Chang'an City in Guanzhong, Guanzhong and Chang'an City were equally shaken, and Suzong Li Heng's face was livid with anger.

The people were in an uproar, and the 15 imperial army besieged and suppressed the desperate Shi Siming rebels, but they were defeated, causing Shi Siming's rebels to sweep half of Huainan in an instant.

You know, Peiping King Li Fei took only 20 Anton troops all the way to conquer Hebei and regain Luoyang and other places. He defeated Shi Siming's 70 million army back and forth, and forced Shi Siming to Chuzhou. He was about to be completely wiped out.

However, the imperial court accepted Shi Siming's surrender at this time, and even appointed Shi Siming as Chuzhou Jiedu Envoy.
What kind of tragic scene is this? Could it be that the imperial court will not be able to wipe out the rebels without Li Fei, the king of Peking, even if the rebels have nowhere to go?
The court is so incompetent?
The doubts from the people made Suzong Li Heng so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

At this moment, even Suzong Li Heng couldn't help but doubt whether the imperial army was really so incompetent.

Li Fei's 20 Anton army was able to beat Shi Siming's rebels at their peak in less than a month like a bereaved dog, and could only live in the Chuzhou area.The imperial court's 15 troops couldn't even beat a dying Shi Siming, and allowed Shi Siming to rise again, sweeping half of Huainan again.

This is not just incompetence, but too incompetence!

All the shame!
