    "Mr. Ye, why don't you arrange it in the latter half of the night, when the thieves are asleep, and then ignite the gunpowder, blow open the city wall, and take advantage of the situation to attack the city so that the thieves are unprepared?" Ye Chang was about to use gunpowder to blow up the city. At this time,  It¡¯s no secret.  Therefore, seeing Ye Chang giving the order, Chunming beside him asked curiously.  "If we are facing a really strong enemy, it would be better to choose the latter half of the night, but are there any strong enemies in the city now?" Ye Chang said with a smile: "A group of frightened people are just taking advantage of the strong city to strengthen their courage. If I should be  Their faces have peeled off their seemingly solid shell. How do you think they will choose? "There are still nearly 200,000 rebels in the city, but it does not mean that these 200,000 people are An Lushan and Shi Siming?  Although most of the close confidants who died were subordinates who could rebel with them, they might not be willing to die with An Lushan and Shi Siming if things got too hard.  Even if An Lushan could control the generals¡¯ families to threaten them, he could not control every soldier.  If the city wall is broken, how can these soldiers still have the desire to fight to the death?  They had already enriched themselves by plundering the city of Chang'an, and their only thought was how to disguise themselves as ordinary people and escape back to their hometown to become rich men.  And the soldiers have all fled, leaving only the generals, what's the use?  "Moreover, Bian Ping received the news that An Lushan was also prepared in Chang'an City. He wanted to give me a city of fire. If I were An Lushan, I would definitely choose to break out and escape before blowing up the city, abandoning my tail to survive. He  Just like you, you must have thought that I was going to blow up the city in the middle of the night, and you would never have thought that I would do it just after noon." At this point, Ye Chang stood with his hands behind his back, and in front of him, the city of Chang'an stood as tall as a mountain.  "It's almost done." Taking out his pocket watch, Ye Chang murmured.  Pocket watches are also a new product of the Liaodong Watch Factory. The current size is still relatively large, about a palm in diameter, and because only the best craftsmen can hand-make them to ensure their accuracy, the output is extremely low, and they are sold in the market.  One is worth tens of thousands.  The time shown on the pocket watch is 12:14 noon.  When the time on the pocket watch reached 12:15, there was a rumble in the ground, and the city of Chang'an began to shake violently. The people in the city, whether military or civilian, were panicking and running around. After the shaking of the earth ended,  They looked around blankly, wanting to know what had just happened.  If you are close to the North City and East City of Chang'an, you can see that a large section of the city wall has collapsed on the north and east sides of Chang'an City, leaving only broken walls.  The gap in the city wall was more than ten feet long, and the length of the collapse was several times that. Such drastic changes frightened everyone who saw this scene, whether they were soldiers or civilians.  Various rumors about Ye Chang reappeared in their minds.  Especially the subordinates of An and Shi. In the news about the fall of Tongguan circulated in Chang'an City a few days ago, there was a saying that Ye Chang summoned thunder from the sky and smashed the gate tower. The scene that happened today is very similar to the rumors.  There was a muffled thunder in the ground, then the earth shook and the city wall collapsed.  Not only that, at that time, Cai Xide, the general in Tongguan Pass, was also killed by lightning. This time, hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured on the two sections of the city wall in Chang'an City, and even turned into powder with no bones left. Followed closely.  The city wall collapsed when the Tang army began to attack.  It was not that An Lushan and Shi Siming were unprepared. Although they had misjudged the time for Ye Chang's attack, they had already deployed reserve troops at the edge of the city. Just in case, they would let these reserve troops plug the gap.  But a large section of the city wall collapsed, and even the trenches outside the city were filled with collapsed stones. How could these ordinary soldiers not be horrified?  How much does it cost to close such a big gap, and Ye Chang also has powerful soldiers like grenades. In addition, if they go to block the city, if Ye Chang summons the divine thunder again, won't they die in vain?  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  But now, almost in the blink of an eye, one of the pillars has collapsed, and the previous internal strife in Anshi also caused another pillar to shake.  Therefore, we don¡¯t know who took the lead. Almost all of these rebels did not hesitate, turned around and fled. There were not many people who blocked the gap in the city wall.  Even if there are still a few people who are loyal to An and Shi, they have to flee when they see that only a few of them are left.  An Lushan was watching his cronies packing up their things. He had already made up his mind to set fire to the city tonight and then break out and escape.  "What's the sound?" When the explosion came, he jumped up suddenly, horrified.  Because of Shi Siming's internal strife, he moved from Xingqing Palace to Daming Palace. Daming Palace was in the north of the city, not far from the collapsed city wall. The vibration and loud noise made An Lushan understand that Ye  Chang actually blew open the city wall during the day. Shouldn't it be at night?  Ye Chang, that dog thief, always prides himself on cherishing the lives of soldiers. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to attack the city at night?  An Lushan¡¯s mind was completely confused. After a while,Son, he suddenly realized: now is not the time to reflect on his mistakes, but to find a way to escape. "Yan Zhuang, where is Yan Zhuang? Call him quickly," he shouted repeatedly, and then named a few of his trusted generals.  These people are the ones he trusts, and they are also the core force he is preparing to take to escape Chang'an.  Now that he has made up his mind to cut off his tail to survive, except for these people, he is ready to abandon everyone else.  After calling out the names of these people, he remembered one more thing: "Where is Qingxu, let him act, let him act quickly." He roared and shouted, and the roaring continued, and the warriors in the courtyard were also in chaos.  He lost his cool at this moment, swung the leather whip he grabbed from nowhere, and hit whoever he saw, making the yard even more chaotic.  After shouting for a while, I saw a familiar figure rushing over, crawling on the ground, but it was An Qingxu.  "Father, it's not good, it's not good, the North City and the East City were blown up at the same time. Now the Tang Army has entered the city. Although our army is still resisting, it can't hold on for long" "Where's Yanzhuang, this thief Yanzhuang  Where did he go?" "He ran away. I heard that he had run away, and the soldiers could not find him." "What, Yan Zhuang also ran away?" Hearing this, An Lushan finally sobered up a little.  asked blankly.  "Father, it doesn't matter what he does now, we have to go!" "Come here, find Yan Zhuang for me, I want to kill his whole family, I want to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Of course, if he hadn't instigated me, how could I have done it?  Conspiracy to rebel!" An Lushan was furious again. He felt blood rushing upwards and his eyes turned black. He could still see vaguely, but now he couldn't see anything.  The reason why he yelled crazily was that he was very clear-headed and knew that he had no way out this time.  The original plan of cutting off the tail to survive was completely scrapped due to Ye Chang's abnormal siege time. Ye Chang was already prepared, but he was not ready to escape. Even if he wanted to leave, he could not escape.  "Father, leave Yan Zhuang alone, make up your mind as to what we should do." Although An Qingxu was usually slurred in speech, he spoke smoothly at this time.  "Yes, yes, make up your mind Qingxu, do you remember what I arranged for you? Light fires. Light fires for me everywhere in Chang'an. Even if you die, Ye Chang and I must be burned together. Li  "Longji, you won't get anything." Hearing his father's crazy voice, An Qingxu finally understood that relying on his father to make decisions at this time was simply waiting for death.  He said nothing and was about to leave, but An Lushan grabbed him by the neck.  "Father, I'm going, I'm going," An Qingxu shouted as he felt his father holding on to him tightly and completely losing his ability to judge.  "Also, kill them all, Yan Zhuang, Li Zhu'er, kill them all, and then you can die too, and die with me!" An Qingxu suddenly trembled: "Father" "Kill quickly, quickly.  Come here and kill the pig!" An Lushan, who could not see anything clearly, was filled with fear. The more he understood in his heart, the crazier he became, and even thought about destroying the world with him.  .  Li Zhuer was trembling at the side, looking at An Qingxu pleadingly.  An Qingxu was thinking about how to get rid of An Lushan. At this moment, he heard An Lushan shout: "Why don't you take action? Yes, yes, you are a bastard who wants to rebel. I should have killed you long ago.  I should have killed you a long time ago and made Qingen the prince. He is much stronger than you, you idiot" As An Lushan said, he grabbed An Qingxu's throat, intending to strangle him to death.  Although he was suffering from injuries, his body was fat and extremely strong. An Qingxu struggled with all his strength, but he couldn't break free.  He was speechless and had difficulty breathing. He was so anxious that he could only look at Li Zhuer who was standing aside.  Li Zhuer was so frightened that he shivered. When he looked into his eyes, he suddenly understood what he meant.  An Lushan has gone crazy, killing his sons, slaves, anyone. If An Lushan kills An Qingxu, how can he, Li Zhuer, survive?  At this time, Li Zhuer did not know that An Lushan was completely blind due to the surge of energy and blood. He only knew that An Lushan would never let him go.  So he gritted his teeth, rushed over, pulled out the sword from An Qingxu's waist, and stabbed it into An Lushan's belly. An Lushan felt an unbearable pain in his belly, loosened his hand, took two steps back, and went towards  When I touched my abdomen, it was wet and full of blood.  "It must be a traitor who harmed me." An Lushan sighed and fell to the ground.  An Qingxu, who broke free, rubbed his neck and looked at An Lushan on the ground with horrified eyes.  An Lushan was not dead yet, lying on the ground panting.  An Qingxu looked up and saw that all the warriors in the yard had already fled when An Lushan went crazy.  "What should I do?" he thought to himself.  Although he is good at archery, horseback riding, and archery, he has always had a low self-esteem because of his stutter. Before, the person who made the decision was either An Lushan or Yan Zhuang, but now he is asked to make his own decision. Suddenly, his brothers and sisters are inevitably confused.At a loss.  "By the way, there is one more person you can ask for" After pondering for a moment, he suddenly remembered someone and immediately stepped out. He realized that Li Zhu'er had followed him out, and he couldn't help but sigh.  With so many rebels and relatives separated, he finally gathered hundreds of soldiers and horses. After taking to the streets, he captured the stragglers running around in the streets, gathered more than a thousand people, and then ran towards the east.  Along the way, they caught the retreating defeated troops and asked them. They learned that Shi Siming had retreated to the south of the city, so they turned south.  At this time, there were killings all over the city of Chang'an. An Qingxu looked around and saw that few of the people who arranged the arson were following the orders.  He knew in his heart that those dead soldiers might have their own plans at this time, but they could not pursue them.  Although Chang'an City is large, it has an end. It didn't take long before An Qingxu arrived at Shi Siming's side.  Shi Siming's army was also in disarray, and there were not many more people around him than him. When he saw his troops approaching from a distance, he immediately took a defensive stance.  An Qingxu stepped forward to shout in person, and Shi Siming came out to meet him. An Qingxu was shocked when he saw Shi Siming's appearance.  Shi Siming was by the city wall when the explosion occurred. Zhengming continued to monitor the movement underground, so the collapsing rocks hit him.  Although he was lucky enough to save his life, most of his head was wrapped in gauze. At this time, he was frightened and angry. When he saw An Qingxu, he said sternly: "Where is An Lushan? Could it be that he cut off his tail to survive, and he doesn't even want your son?"  "An Qingxu didn't dare to say that An Lushan was stabbed by Li Zhuer and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He cried: "My father is seriously ill and can no longer support me. I was ordered to come to Uncle Shi and asked him to take him in." Shi Siming  Shocked, he was originally ready to refuse, but when he saw the soldiers behind An Qingxu, he suddenly changed his mind: "In that case, you and I might as well join forces. Now I still have a city gate in my hand. Let's leave the city immediately." What he said  The city gate he was talking about was actually the water gate of Qujiang Pool. There were fewer Tang troops here. After nearly 3,000 troops rushed out, they did not dare to go east. They could only go south, towards the continuous peaks of Nanshan Mountain.  go.  But after they had escaped less than a few miles, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, and smoke covered the sky, indicating that a large army was chasing them.  Seeing this situation, Shi Siming turned to An Qingxu and said, "The matter is urgent. If we want to escape today, we can only act separately." An Qingxu was stunned: "How can we act separately?"  " "You and I each have our own headquarters, and we can escape as many people as we can.  "Shi Siming said. "But" "If you don't agree, we will have a fight now." Shi Siming said sternly: "All the disasters are caused by your father and son. If you dedicate your first achievement to Ye Chang, maybe you can still protect it.  "My life is mine." When he said this, he had a fierce look in his eyes, which made An Qingxu retreat in horror, and he could only lead his own way. Seeing that he was still facing south, a sharp light flashed in Shi Siming's eyes, and he looked back at him.  A close friend said: "Duan Qinu, how should I treat you?  " "The general treats me with great kindness, and I am willing to die for the general," Duan Qinu said. "In that case, you choose a lame horse, leave some wounds for yourself, and wait here. When the pursuers come here, they will ask you  Where did I go? You said where I went.  "Shi Siming pointed in the direction An Qingxu left. When Duan Qinu heard this, he immediately understood his plan. This was a plan to escape from the golden cicada, and only someone deeply trusted by Shi Siming could do it. He nodded vigorously, sighing with emotion.  He responded: "I know, I will definitely live up to the general's trust."
