Chapter 3919 Jedi Counterattack
Yu Suigu stood in the back line, watching the private soldiers under his command being killed like dolphins by heavy-armed infantry. His heart was bleeding and his eyes were split. He just wanted to retreat quickly to save the last bit of vitality of the private soldiers. . But the order from Changsun Wuji was very firm, and once again the life and death of the entire Guanlong clan rested on his shoulders. No matter how much he cursed in his heart, there was nothing he could do.
However, no matter how much he continued to throw his troops into the battlefield, the heavily armored infantry still moved forward firmly and unstoppably, charging to the beginning of the connection between West City and Yanshoufang.
Seeing that he had already rushed in front of him, Yu Suigu cursed Changsun Wuji in his heart, drew his knife in his hand, and shouted: "Follow me to kill the enemy!" He rushed forward with his own soldiers.
However, his leading the way did not bring much boost to the morale of his troops. He rushed forward to kill left and right for a while, and then was buried in the waves of heavily armored infantry.
……
"It's not good!"
"How could it be?"
"The West City side can no longer stop them. The Youtun Guards are coming to kill them, and they are about to reach Yanshoufang..."
"Oh, what should we do?"
"Let's evacuate quickly. If we don't evacuate, it will be too late."
……
There was a lot of discussion outside the hall, and it was very noisy. Sun Wuji, the eldest son in the hall, frowned, called Yu Wenjie in, and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Wenjie said: "The momentum of the Youtun Guards is too strong and unstoppable. News came from the West City just now that Yu Suigu took the lead and led his own soldiers into the battlefield. He was already trapped by the rebel army, and his life and death were unknown and he disappeared without a trace. ”
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing.
Linghu Defen, who had just arrived here, raised his white eyebrows and yelled: "Stupid! As a general, how can he show off the courage of an ordinary man? The war is not going well because he is incompetent. He should ask for help to increase the army. If he is killed in the rebel army at this moment, What a serious blow to the morale of the army! ”
Yuwenjie opened his mouth but said nothing.
It’s not that Yu Suigu didn’t ask for help. Changsun Wuji asked for help several times but did not send many troops. At present, all the private soldiers of the Yu family in Luoyang were killed or injured. Yu Suigu went into battle in person out of grief and anger. He should be commended for his bravery whether he died or lived. How can the word "stupid" be added together?
But when it comes to Changsun Wuji, he can't say much...
Changsun Wuji was also embarrassed. He knew that the Youtun Guards were very powerful and could not be stopped by Luoyang Yu's private soldiers alone, so he also mobilized many troops from outside Chunming Gate to come for reinforcements. Although they were not elites, they were at least in number. The battle situation is absolutely advantageous. Even if we lose, we won't be defeated so quickly, right?
So he thought he was just complaining about Yu Suigu, and couldn't bear the heavy casualties among his private soldiers...
As a result, they personally raised their troops and went into battle without knowing whether they would live or die.
You must know that Yu Suigu is the eldest son and grandson of the Yu family in Luoyang. He will inherit the position of the head of the family in the future. Even his uncle Yu Zhining will respectfully call him "the head of the family" in the future, but now he is outside the West Market. On the battlefield, the reason was that his eldest son Wuji refused to increase his troops in time, let alone withdraw from Suigu.
This feud has become serious...
But at this time, the battle situation in West City cannot be allowed to completely collapse, otherwise the troops in Taiji Palace will not be able to withdraw and can only continue to reinforce.
"Mobilize an army from outside Chunming Gate into the city and rush to the West City for reinforcements. We must block the Youtun Guards before the troops in Taiji Palace withdraw."
"Here!"
When Yuwenjie went out to deliver the order, Changsun Wuji looked at Yuwenshiji and Linghu Defen, sighed softly, and said, "Let's withdraw too."
Guanlong Gate has been entrenched in Guanzhong for decades, with industries everywhere, and there are countless manors in Zhongnan Mountain. Many of them are backed by mountains and facing water, and are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They can be used as temporary strongholds. Even if the East Palace army rushes and attacks, they can still hold on. When Li Ji returned to Chang'an.
Yuwen Shiji and Linghu Defen were all sighing, shaking their heads and sighing.
Today's withdrawal from Chang'an not only means that the war situation is unfavorable and that it avoids its sharp edges, but this withdrawal also means that the time when the Guanlong Clan was in charge of the Tang Dynasty came to an end. From now on, only the Li Tang royal family will have nothing to do with the Long Clan. If you want to maintain the inheritance of a family, you have to work hard and rely on others. If you want to make a comeback and take charge of the court again, you don't know how long it will take.
This withdrawal represents Guan Long's complete defeat in this mutiny. The foundation accumulated over the years has been lost in one fell swoop, and he can only survive...
Linghu Defen patted his legs and said with emotion: "Although you and I are a lot unhappy today, in fact, this day is just too late. The rise of the imperial examination system is an irresistible trend, and more and more poor scholars are Relying on the imperial examination to enter the court, enter the central government, and become a powerful person The previous monopolistic political structure of the aristocratic family will inevitably be broken. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, as long as every scholar can go through hardships and accumulate experience, he will become an emerging noble family... and the noble families will eventually be replaced by these noble families. "< br>
The birth of a clan requires the hard work and hard work of countless outstanding people from ancestors and generations, and it also needs to cooperate with the current situation and luck to take shape. This takes at least a hundred years. Therefore, once a clan is formed, it has a deep foundation that cannot be shaken even by changes in dynasties and political turmoil. It can even become a powerful force that can influence the ownership of the world in troubled times. It is relied on by kings and feared by princes.
However, the gentry did not use it.
If an outstanding person rises to prominence, and his descendants continue to work and study for two generations, and their career is smooth, they can create a noble family. If you rise too fast, your foundation will inevitably be shallow, and it will be difficult to withstand the political turmoil. It will often rise and fall with the waves. The clouds will be bright in the morning, but the flowers will be yellow at dusk...
But for the imperial power, the role of the existence of clans in stabilizing the situation was far lower than the benefits brought by the concentration of imperial power. Therefore, the king rejected them after using clans to seize power in the world. This has been the case since ancient times.
Because of their shallow foundation, the gentry could only rely on the imperial power to inherit their wealth and glory. They could easily become vassals of the imperial power, and were naturally pleased by the imperial power.
One has difficulty achieving success and is tabooed by the king; the other has risen to prominence and is a vassal of the imperial power... It is certain that once the imperial examination system fully rises, countless noble families will be born to replace the status of the clans and become the best support for the concentration of imperial power.
One goes down and the other goes up, it is not an exaggeration to say that the end of the clan is not far away...
This topic is somewhat heavy, even far heavier than the failure of the current mutiny. Today's army is defeated, and the Ming Dynasty can still make a comeback; but the family has declined and is gradually replaced by the nobles, but no one with good hands and eyes can resist this trend...
All insightful people in the government and the public can see one fact - the imperial examination has quietly broken the backbone of the family. What is waiting is for the family to subtly consume the last traces of their heritage, and then completely wipe out the family. Into the ashes of history.
……
Inside the heavy door.
"Commander, the rebels have weakened their offensive and are covering each other and withdrawing in an orderly manner."
Li Siwen, whose injuries were all covered up by armor, rushed to Li Jing to report the military situation. He looked at Li Jing eagerly, waiting for the order to counterattack.
Li Jing frowned, looked at him up and down, and said worriedly: "Can your body still bear it? Don't show off at a young age. Great achievements must be completed with a strong body. If the injury is serious, it will damage the root. , the gain outweighs the loss.”
Young people are always full of energy and are fearless when it comes to fighting and killing. However, they do not understand the priorities and often use too much force and regret later.
"Don't worry, Commander!"
Li Siwen patted his breastplate, grinned and said, "I'm not a weak woman waiting to be put on powder to arrange flowers. The bones in my body are beaten to the bone, and there are only superficial injuries. What can you do to me? Just give me the order. The last general is willing to be a pioneer! ”
Ambitious and high-spirited.
Li Jing stood up, patted Li Siwen on the shoulder, nodded in approval, and felt envious of Li Ji in his heart. As the "Military God" of the Tang Dynasty, he was superior to Li Ji in terms of merit and military ability. However, his two sons were not familiar with battle formations, especially the eldest son who liked to study strange skills and tricks all day long. Fang Jun regards him as his idol and dreams of joining the Foundry Bureau to demonstrate what he has learned in his life...
Wouldn't it be a relief if I had a son who could inherit the mantle?
"Go, you will lead the reserve team as the vanguard, let Cheng Chubi and Qu Tuquan advance on the left and right together, and launch a counterattack! Remember, don't be reluctant to fight, let alone entangle with the rebels, as fast as possible Rush to the gate of Chengtian Join the Youtun Guards and completely overwhelm the rebels! There is no need to worry about Neizhong Gate. Later, I will withdraw to Xuanwu Gate and guard the city gate together with Guo Guogong to block the rebels in Taiji Palace! ”
As long as the Youtun Guards raid Chengtianmen, the entire Taiji Palace will be a big "urn", and more than ten thousand elite rebels will become "turtles in the urn", unable to fly without wings.
It’s the 21st century, so don’t kneel anymore.
