Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 172 Donghu’s counterattack

In an instant, a dense rain of arrows fell like a blanket, covering the attacking Tang Army cavalry.

A sharp arrow hit the armor of the Tang army soldier, making a muffled sound.

The Tang Army's cavalry were covered in dense rain of arrows and fell to the ground one after another.But these cavalrymen were not afraid of death and still rushed forward crazily.

"kill!"

Dongfang Tianya's face turned pale.

"kill!"

He also jumped up, stood on the shoulders of the Tang soldiers, and waved his spear.Suddenly, the speed of the Tang army soldiers increased dramatically and they quickly rushed into the Donghu camp.

"kill!"

Not to be outdone, Wang Xiaojie followed him in with his bodyguards.

"Protect the General!"

"Protect the general!"

Donghu's generals panicked, and a group of people rushed up to try to protect Dongfang Tianya.

"Get out!" Wang Xiaojie kicked a Donghu man away and thrust his spear straight through, directly piercing the Donghu man.

The rest of them also took the opportunity to break into the Donghu camp and fought all the way, killing many Donghu people.

"General, if this continues, our army will be in a tough fight."

The adjutant of the Tang Army looked worried.

Wang Xiaojie nodded, and he also understood that the current situation was extremely dangerous.

"withdraw!"

Wang Xiaojie made a prompt decision and ordered the army to leave Donghu Camp.

Dongfang Tianya looked at the fleeing soldiers of the Tang Army with great anger.But there is no way.

Wang Xiaojie led the army to retreat and quickly disappeared into the distance.

The killings committed by Wang Xiaojie and others just now attracted countless people to watch.

These common people were very excited when they saw that the Tang army was actually able to compete with the Donghu people.

Especially after seeing the costumes of Tang Army soldiers, they exclaimed and cheered.

"Are these soldiers from the Tang Dynasty? They are so powerful."

"This is the Tang Army, really the Tang Army. The Tang Army is here to save us."

"Long live the Tang Army, long live the Tang Army..."

The people were overjoyed.

Dongfang Tianya's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, this debt will be paid back."

………………

The Tang army retreated, but Wang Xiaojie led his men back to the army and immediately arranged for the Tang army to repair.

At the same time, Wang Xiaojie sent scouts to investigate the situation and look for traces of Zhang Shun.

Soon, the scouts discovered Zhang Shun's whereabouts.

Zhang Shun was imprisoned in the Donghu military camp and was seriously injured.

The Tang army packed up and charged towards the Donghu barracks again.

Dongfang Tianya was originally prepared to entertain Zhang Shun well and give Zhang Shun generous gifts, but Zhang Shun resisted, causing his plan to fail, and he was very angry.

When the Tang army attacked again, Dongfang Tianya ordered the entire army to resist the Tang army.

However, due to the heavy losses of the Dongfang Tianya army, it was actually unable to compete with the Tang army.

Soon, the Tang army broke through the defense line and entered the Donghu camp.

The Donghu people were horrified.Some people turned around and ran, while others chose to surrender.

"Capture all the prisoners and bring them back to Tang State to make His Majesty punish them."

Wang Xiaojie issued the order.

At this time, the recent wind direction in Chang'an City can be said to be changing day by day.

Yang Yanzhang didn't know what style he was following, but he actually established a college in the name of Wu Zetian, and the name of this college was actually the Royal University Hall.

Despite this, the things that Yang Yanzhang was doing were all done in his own fiefdom, so no one else could tell, except Yang Yanzhang's men and the censors.

There have been countless cases of collusion between censors and aristocratic families throughout history, not to mention now, even though Yang Yanzhang is their immediate boss, there are still people who impeach him.

In the early morning of this morning, a censor stood up and spoke uprightly: "Queen Mother, I have my own memorial. The censor Yang Yanzhang held a school in the name of the royal family, and also taught some unpopular things, which has completely ruined the literary style of our Tang Dynasty."

After Wu Zetian heard this, he looked up at Yang Yanzhang in the corner and said, "Yang Zhongcheng, is what Tian Aiqing said true?"

Yang Yanzhang was dumbfounded. He had never expected that he was just holding a school and he would be impeached. When he was busy, he stood up with great grievance: "Queen Mother, I am wronged."

Wu Zetian waved her hands and said, "You sit down first."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Yang Yanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yang Zhongcheng, please continue to tell me why you hold a school." Wu Zetian asked.

Yang Yanzhang hesitated for a moment and said: "I am reporting to the Queen Mother that I am here to take pictures of the entire Tang Dynasty and educate the people of the world."

Wu Zetian sneered and said: "In that case, then do as you say. Not only that, the Ai family also wants everyone in the world to know about this."

Yang Yanzhang was stunned. He never expected that things would turn out like this.

However, this matter was very involved, and he did not dare to disobey Wu Zetian.

"Yes, Queen Mother, I obey your orders."

Wu Zetian hummed, and then said to Li Chunfeng, Guo Jing and others: "Masters, I have decided to hold a grand event every six months starting from tomorrow to promote the Tang Dynasty. I also hope that all the masters can help me." .”

Su Liangsi nodded and said, "No matter what the Queen Mother orders, I will definitely do my best."

Guo Jing and others also expressed their stance: "I am also willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."

"Thank you very much, sir."

Wu Zetian smiled happily.

She has been proficient in politics since she was a child and naturally knows the importance of public opinion.

If we can use this to improve people's livelihood, that would be the best.

At this time, the censor who was the first to stand up and impeach Yang Yanzhang was confused. Weren't we talking about Yang Yanzhang just now? How could this be transferred to a grand event held every six months?

Could this be called shooting oneself in the foot?
It made him want to cry.

However, the censor was a censor after all, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and prepared to continue impeaching Yang Yanzhang.

But Wu Zetian issued another edict: "From now on, everyone who has participated in the study will be given a silver reward."

Now the censor was even more confused. Didn't he say that Yang Yanzhang was going to be impeached?Why did it become like this again?

However, although the censor was puzzled, he was very happy.Because they also participated in the study, and the learning effect was not bad.

The censors submitted the impeachment memorial again with full confidence.

But this time, he was refuted before even finishing a sentence.

In the end, the censors were completely desperate, and all their memorials turned into waste paper.

"Hmph, you are impeaching Yang Yanzhang. But you don't know that behind Yang Yanzhang is Shangguan Wan'er. Who is Shangguan Wan'er? She is the most favored minister around the Queen Mother. What are you using to impeach him?"

The censors are all dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, unable to express their sufferings.

The Tang army moved more and more frequently, attacking almost day and night.In just a few days, the Donghu people lost two cities and tens of thousands of horses.
