Not long after Zhao Ziliang gave the order, a firework shot into the night sky to the west of the military camp, which attracted everyone's attention.
Xuan Shiba beside him said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, this is a signal from the Huya Army.
They have sneaked in Xuan Jiu and others were found in the camp, and the rescue is now underway."
This signal will undoubtedly attract Sha Zhali's attention.
The rescued Huya Army team will probably be discovered.
A battle is probably inevitable.
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "I also asked Zhang Bi to come over and ask him to order the infiltration The small detachment in the camp cooperated with the main force of the army.
Now it seems that it is too late.
Shazhali dared to encourage the sergeants to fight against the imperial court.
Death will not be enough to forgive his crime.
Please pass on the order and the whole army is ready to launch an attack."
Li Mi quickly stopped him and said, "No, Your Majesty.
The whole Fengxiang Army cannot be held responsible for Sha Zhali's crime alone.
Please think again, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to stop others from trying to dissuade him, "The soldiers and generals of the Fengxiang Army are all living people with heads.
They are not domesticated animals.
Although obeying military orders is a soldier's bounden duty, it also depends on the orders of the superior generals.
If he lets them rebel, will he really rebel?
Are they pigs?
It is clear that Shazhali's order is wrong, but they still want to rebel with him.
They are no longer our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
They are rebels and rebels should be wiped out.
Nowadays, the national situation is difficult and the court's prestige is weak.
If we wait here today Compromise with the rebels here, then the rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty will become far away No time limit, or even just an empty talk.
From now on, the imperial court will say no to all acts of rebellion.
It will never condone or condone such acts.
It will resolutely crack down on them.
The most brutal punishments will be imposed on the generals and officials who launched the rebellion.
No need to Killings and heavy rituals are not enough to deter these demons.
Send people over to shout, within a quarter of an hour, if anyone in Fengxiang's army kills Sha Zhali and leads his troops, he will be promoted to one rank and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a hundred acres of fields; he will capture Sha Zhali alive and lead his troops.
Anyway, if you want to be promoted to three levels, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of land, a mansion, and a hundred slaves, so go ahead."
"Yes" Ma Sui agreed and immediately arranged for a school captain to go and shout.
A quarter of an hour after the shouting, no one in the military camp escorted Sha Zhali out, but shouts of killing came from the military camp, and Zhao Ziliang immediately decided: "attack" Ma Sui received the order, drew his sword and pointed forward: "All officers and men obey the order, attack the first echelon and attack."
After hearing the order, the cavalry in the first row rode forward and passed by.
After the horses started running at a faster speed, everyone disappeared on the horse's back.
Zhao Ziliang knew that these soldiers were hiding under the horse's belly, and the Fengxiang Army in the camp But they only saw some war horses rushing towards them, with no one on their backs, which made them a little bit at a loss.
"General, this" The generals couldn't help but look at Shazhali when they saw this situation.
Shazhali frowned, "What the hell are they doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw cavalry figures suddenly appearing on the backs of these originally empty horses.
They saw these people raising their arms, and the horse ropes flew towards the wooden fence.
While the horse ropes flew over, the horses The knights on their backs turned around one after another.
By the time it was finished, the lasso had been put on the wooden fence.
As the knights on horseback pulled them, rows of wooden fences blocking the front of the Fengxiang Army soldiers were pulled down one after another.
Seeing this, Ma Sui cupped his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost done."
"Then attack, let's begin" "promise" Ma Sui shouted: "Soldiers, all follow me and prepare to attack with bows and arrows.

Charge!"
"Come on!"
The cavalry guards beat their horses and followed Ma Sui into the military camp.
The sudden change left Fengxiang's army at a loss as the only barrier in front was gone, and the cavalry had a natural offensive advantage over the infantry.
The sound of a large number of horse hooves rumbled out, and as Ma Sui shouted: "Disperse," the originally dense and neat formation of the escort cavalry dispersed in the shortest possible time.
The Tang Army's bow and arrow attack is no joke.
Of course, there are a large number of archers in the Fengxiang Army.
They are not the barbarian soldiers and horses, nor the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions.
Their bow and arrow range is not inferior to the cavalry of the Western Qin Army.
Bows and arrows, if the hussars are in line A dense and neat formation will inevitably become a living target, but if it is spread out, casualties can be minimized.
Although Sha Zhali's deployment in the military camp cannot be seen clearly, Ma Sui's command is absolutely correct. , Zhao Ziliang is extremely satisfied with this.
"Fire arrows!"
As Ma Sui roared again, the guards and cavalry fired their bows and arrows into the camp one after another.
Screams were heard, and a large number of arrows flew from the camp.
Although the guards The cavalry and horses were all wearing armor, but some people were still falling down after being hit by arrows.
Fortunately, the sprint distance is not far and the time is not long, and the firing time of the infantry bow is much longer than that of the cavalry bow.
The cavalry guards have already fired five rounds of arrows, while the Fengxiang army in the barracks has only fired two rounds in front of them.
With the arrows fired, Ma Sui took the lead and rushed into Fengxiang's army in the camp.
The Fengxiang Army was in chaos on the spot.
The horses that had been replaced with long weapons began to kill quickly.
Afterwards, the cavalry guards rushed into the formation.
Screams, shouts of killing, and cries kept spreading.
The gathered Fengxiang Army sergeants were scattered, and the soldiers died and fled.
After the escort troops rushed into the camp, under the command of Ma Sui, they once again assembled into a neat formation at high speed and charged back and forth.
Fengxiang's army was in chaos.
At this time, it lacked military discipline, lack of training, and lack of courage. , the weakness of low combat effectiveness is revealed.
Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with Ma Sui's on-the-battle command.
In this series of commands, Ma Sui did not make a single mistake.
Even if he was replaced, he would not necessarily do better.
At this time, a school captain galloped over on horseback and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, the emperor has sent an envoy with an imperial decree."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang was stunned and asked: "Who is the envoy?"
"It's the eunuch Ju Wenzhen" "Is it him?
Does this old eunuch want to play another trick?"
Zhao Ziliang muttered and waved his hand: "Let them come over."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Ju Wenzhen quickly came over on horseback with two young eunuchs and a dozen Forbidden Army soldiers.
He cupped his hands to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Prince Regent, after hearing the news here, your Majesty was worried about the outbreak of military chaos, so he sent a special order from the Zajia family to ask the Regent to take over.
"It's your purpose" Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand and said: "Bring the imperial edict."
Ju Wenzhen shook his head to a young eunuch next to him.
The young eunuch rushed forward and handed the imperial edict to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang read the content of the edict under the torch held by the soldiers next to him, and immediately said to Ju Wenzhen: "Eunuch Ju, please trouble you."
Go back and tell your majesty that Shazhali has gathered a crowd to rebel.
The king has ordered the escort to launch an attack.
I am afraid that the imperial edict cannot be carried out."
Ju Wenzhen said angrily: "Prince Regent, you dare to resist the order.
Now you immediately order the escort to withdraw from the military camp and let Sha Zhali come out to receive the order."

Zhao Ziliang said: "The two sides are already at war and cannot withdraw.
We can only fight to the end."
"Hello, very good.
The Zajia family will definitely report your disobedience to His Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang was too lazy to pay attention to him, "Please do it."
The fighting ended after only half an hour, but cleaning the battlefield, capturing the fleeing soldiers, and gathering the surrendered troops did not end until after dawn.
Zhao Ziliang had breakfast in the Fengxiang Army's military camp.
It was made with Fengxiang Army's military rations.
It included a large tray of steamed buns and a roasted lamb.
He was full.
As soon as he dropped the last sheep bone, Ma Sui walked in and clasped his fists to report: "Your Majesty, all the fleeing soldiers have been captured, and all the surrendered soldiers and generals have been taken into custody.
The battlefield has been cleaned.
Shazhali is injured, along with his confidants.
More than ten people were all arrested Captured.
More than 3,800 people were beheaded, and more than 8,100 surrendered soldiers were captured and captured.
General Xuanjiu and others were safe and sound, waiting for the king's summons outside the tent.
Among them, more than 200 of our army's casualties were killed.
Eighteen people, one hundred and twenty-two injured.”
Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Strictly monitor the defeated troops and surrendered troops and generals, and do not slack off.
Order the soldiers to take turns eating and resting."
"Yes," Ma Sui said, clasping his fists and turning around to leave.
Zhao Ziliang ordered the guards standing nearby: "Let Xuan Jiu from outside come in, and then notify Gao Shang, Li Mi and others to come over.
In addition, send someone to the palace and ask Du Fu to inform the prince, prime minister Yuan Zai and the court in the name of the king.
Rank 3 or above When everyone comes here, send someone to the palace to report to the emperor that the Shazhali rebellion has been put down.
Please rest assured, your majesty, that with me here, no one can harm your majesty.
I will enter the palace later to report to your majesty.
State the whole story of this incident.”
"Yes, Your Majesty" Xuan Jiu walked in quickly.
He bowed down to Zhao Ziliang and apologized: "Wei Chen did not do his job well.
Not only did he fail to capture Sha Zhali, but he also caused the soldiers to be killed.
Wei Chen has embarrassed the king.
Please punish him."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Under the circumstances at that time, you could always lead the soldiers to confront Sha Zhali to attract his attention and prevent him from dealing with the escort wholeheartedly.
You have done a good job.
You are not guilty. , wake up, you guys haven’t slept all night, take your brothers to have something to eat and have a good rest, there are still things to do tomorrow.”
"Yes, Your Majesty" Soon, Gao Shang and Li Mi came in, and they saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Meet the king."
"Have you had breakfast, sir?
If you are right, I still have some here," Zhao Ziliang said, waving to the two of them.
The two of them said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.
I have both eaten it."
Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, and said: "The Sha Zhali matter has been basically resolved so far, but it is not over yet, and the aftermath needs to be dealt with.
There are more than 8,000 defeated troops, plus surrendered troops and generals.
How should we deal with these people, Shazala and his trusted generals?
And what should we do with them?
I want to hear your opinions
