Chapter 68 Soul torture

After Guo Ziyi received the news, he also let out a secret breath. Yi Luohe's combat power cannot be underestimated. Even under such an advantage, killing Yi Luohe who had five or six thousand still made the Shuofang Army pay the price of more than 10,000 soldiers.

In fact, Guo Ziyi didn't want to really fight for Yi Luohe, so the price he paid was too small, so he ordered: "Don't forcefully stop them, let them escape, but you have to cover up and kill them until the gate of Chang'an City, so that those soldiers fighting on the battlefield can see that even the rebels' ace Yi Luohe has been beaten up. I want to see if the rebels have the courage to fight with us again then!"

Soon, the Tang army followed Guo Ziyi's general order and allowed the remaining thousands of people in Yiluohe to break through. Of course, they could not join the battle group again, but went straight to the north gate of Chang'an City as Guo Ziyi imagined.

The Tang army also covered the killing all the way, followed him to the near north gate, and had just arrived at a single arrow before retreating.

An Shouzhong is indeed safe for the time being, but the soldiers on both sides who are fighting fiercely in the formation have seen them.

"Brothers! Our army has defeated the elite of the rebels! The rebels are at the end of their strength at this time!"

I don’t know who shouted this first, and then in a very short time almost all the Tang soldiers knew about Guo Ziyi and Shuofang Army killing Yi Luohe.

This obviously has a very important impact on morale.

For a moment, the Tang Dynasty warriors seemed to have a sense of strength again, but more and more people on the rebels began to retreat, and some people even began to throw their weapons to the ground.

Indeed, just as Li Qing imagined, they were about to win.

During this period, Li Qing did not continue to show off his strength to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. On the one hand, it was because after the fierce battle with An Shouzhong before, he had lost all his strength. Whether it was physically or mentally, he needed to ease it.

On the other hand, the result of this battle can basically be seen. The Suiyang cavalry is still killing the enemy under the leadership of Nan Jiyun and Zhang Xun. Whether Li or not will have any impact.

"Deputy Marshal, the enemy's defeated prime minister has become. Should we just chase them, or do we try our best to see if we can take down Chang'an City directly?"

Li Neng had never spoken before. He was observing every order given by Guo Ziyi. As a famous general of a generation, at least in the current view, Guo Ziyi was still much better than Li Neng in strategizing in the battle.

Li Yi knew that this was a very rare learning opportunity. Although he had the goods in his head, there was too much to learn whether it was his experience or skills.

At this time, seeing that the momentum of victory had gradually formed, Li Yan finally couldn't help asking.

Guo Ziyi did not answer Li Yi immediately, but looked back, then looked at Chang'an City from afar, and then said: "We have been fighting for a whole day today. If we take advantage of the night, even if we take it down, the loss will not be small. After this Chang'an City, Luoyang needs to be taken down. Let's not take this risk! First set up camp under the city, and then discuss with the Grand Marshal's elder brother!"

After Guo Ziyi said this, Li Qing understood what it meant. In fact, if he attacked the city now, although the enemy troops in the city might have resisted it for a while, it would be difficult to have any substantial impact on the result. The probability of the city breaking is quite high.

But one thing is, if the city is broken now, wouldn’t Li Yu, as the Grand Marshal of the World, be very embarrassed?

Because he was ambushed by the enemy at the beginning, Li Yu was always following Wang Sili in the rear army and watching the baggage and food. It can be said that he did not command or participate in this battle at all.

If we only break through Chang'an City like this, the matter of entering Chang'an City first is bound to be the case with Deputy Marshal Guo Ziyi, and of course Li Yan, the King of Jianning, is very unfavorable to the position of Grand Marshal Li Yu. Of course, it is even more unfavorable to Li Heng's behavior of making Li Yu the crown prince.

Li Qing understood the key point and couldn't help but sigh, then nodded slightly at Guo Ziyi. Although he was also a prince, he was just the responsibility of the pioneer here. Of course, it would be possible for Guo Ziyi to decide.

When Guo Ziyi saw Li Qing's serious and slightly disappointed expression, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he said softly: "I did this, in fact, for the sake of King Jianning's goodness. King Jianning's performance in this battle is indeed obvious to all. Now it seems that if our army can successfully capture Chang'an City tomorrow, half of the credit will be from King Jianning. You know, I know, these tens of thousands of soldiers also know about this, but I can't go to His Majesty to say this. If I say it, it will be harmful to King Jianning but not beneficial!"

Looking at Guo Ziyi, who was over 60 years old, with a slightly helpless look at this time, Li Qing also understood his intentions.

"The wood is fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Li Yan still understands this principle. The deputy marshal has done a good job, so Li Yan will naturally not let it go. However, before the rebels were eliminated, what I thought in my heart was to suppress the rebellion, make the government of the Tang Dynasty stable and the people live in peace! Other things are not among what I think."

Since Guo Ziyi was all exclaiming his thoughts, Li Neng naturally expressed his thoughts to Guo Ziyi.

"What if King Jianning's military achievements have reached its peak after the rebellion, what would it be like the King of Qin?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Ziyi did not let Li Yan go. When he asked, he directly asked Li Yan's heart. Li Yan took a deep breath and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Well! It's getting late, King Jianning will follow me to rush for a while before going to meet with the Grand Marshal!"

Li Li frowned after hearing this. Although he didn't understand what Guo Ziyi meant, he still followed.

At this time, the rebels had completely shown signs of defeat and rushed to the city gate.
