The morning light penetrated the thin clouds, slowly came from the east, spread over thousands of mountains and wilderness, left the earth, and shined towards Kyoto, delicately and gently brushing through the sea of blood and corpses outside the towering city wall.
Countless refugees stood in the countryside, on the official roads, and on the mountains. They were far away from the range of the crossbows and looked at the corpses spread out on the carpet under the city wall.
The towering, endless city wall was like an insurmountable mountain. The soldiers on it stood in a long row in an orderly manner, solidly surrounding Kyoto.
The backlit north wind blew a numbing smell, whistling across the sky and the earth. The refugees did not disperse. They stood there stubbornly, looking at the city wall across the vast space.
Lin Cao rested against the turret wall, surrounded by people from the Xiaohu Camp, who were responsible for the entire city wall.
After staying up all night, Lin Cao was tired and sleepy, but he couldn't sleep. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the street not far away. The soldiers beside him didn't know what he was thinking.
A fast horse suddenly came running from a distance.
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
The people on the horse shouted in the distance.
The soldiers on the road moved to both sides, and those sitting on the ground looked up with uneasy expressions on their faces.
The person who came here is so panicked. Is there something going on with this look?
General? The soldier reined in his horse and stopped, shouting, "Where is General Lin?"
Lin Cao stood up from the ground, patted the snow on his silver armor, and said: What do you want to see me for?
The soldier turned around to see him and jumped off his horse: General!
The soldier strode over, almost crying: Something happened to the general, something big!
After running closer, the soldier almost lost his footing and knelt directly on the ground, shouting quickly: General Song Lang took five hundred soldiers and horses to the gate of Dongping Academy to stop the Xuanwu Army who was following the emperor's instructions. The two sides fought fiercely, causing countless casualties.
!
Lin Cao's eyes widened, suspecting that he was too sleepy and had auditory hallucinations: What did you say?
Everyone around Lin Cao was stunned. The supervisor and several captains stood up, while the paralyzed soldiers were all stunned.
General, go and have a look! The soldier added, it took me a long time to get here from Dongping Academy, and I don’t know what’s going on there now.
This Song Qingtang! Lin Cao yelled, he thought the head on my neck was too annoying, didn’t he!!! He would only be happy if I had my head chopped off!!!
The last time I led someone to break into the Yanyun Guards Mansion, I haven't finished yet, and now I've set off such a big trap again!
Lin Cao was completely sleepless. He picked up the saber leaning on the corner and strode towards the mount on the other side. He said angrily: I will chop off his head right now! I will chop it off with my own hands!
·
More and more people are coming to Dongping University.
Corpses lay all over the ground in the morning light, and the blood eroded into the snow, dyeing it a bright red, which was shocking.
The crowd was talking in an uproar, and more and more noises were heard.
Song Qingtang held a long spear and stood upright in front of the crowd, looking at the Xuanwu Army from a distance, as if he was still in the wind and rain.
Du Yide led his troops and stood on the other side, the look on his face becoming more and more wrong.
He looked at Song Qingtang, at the people behind Song Qingtang, and then at the literati who died tragically on the ground, his face gradually turned pale.
The Xuanwu troops are still standing there. They have the emperor's orders. They will not leave without receiving orders. Even if they die in the battle to the last man, they will stay here.
However, at Jinfeng Lake Bridge last night, Captain Chen sent the troops to look for General Feng when something happened. Why was there still no movement?
Even if General Feng doesn't move, then, where are the others? Where is the palace? Where is the Jingzhao Mansion? Where are the other patrol guards?
Why is there no movement?
At this time, the noise from the crowd behind Song Qingtang became louder and louder, and someone could faintly be heard scolding them loudly.
The soldiers raised their heads and looked over there. Many people pointed at them with angry and fierce expressions.
Get out of Huaizhou Street and Dongping Academy!
Get out! You beasts!
Killer!
There were also cries from the crowd. An old woman knelt on the ground and slapped the heavy snow. She howled and looked at a lifeless soldier with half-open eyes on the snow in front of her. There were many people around her helping her, and her eyes were covered in tears.
Eyes flushed.
The curses became more and more loud, and the unpleasant words gathered together. Finally, everyone shouted in unison, telling them to get out, which resounded through the sky.
Lin Cao came towards Huaizhou Street with a team of about ten guards. When he heard the sound in the distance, he cursed a few words and speeded up.
But at this moment, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot from a distance. He was startled and hurriedly reined in the reins. The galloping horse was instantly ordered to stop, and he immediately stood up. Then, as the snow gradually melted under the sunshine,
The skid was so serious that he and his horse fell to the ground.
The crossbow arrow struck five steps to his left, and the tail of the arrow was still buzzing with force.
Lin Cao cursed a few curse words, his weak heart beating wildly after a sleepless night. The guards stepped forward to help him and drew out his weapons.
Lin Cao raised his head and looked around, not knowing who it was.
General! His subordinates suddenly shouted, stretching their hands and pointing forward.
In a secluded alley, several wild dogs were digging in the snow.
It's a corpse! The men shouted.
Go over and take a look. Lin Cao said, got up and walked away.
General, danger! Another guard stopped Lin Yao.
Dangerous ass! Lin Cao shouted, even if you are afraid of this, I still act like an ass general! If you attack this general again, I will definitely know which bastard did it, and I will chop him to death!
Three or four wild dogs were digging through the snow, and snow particles were flying. When they heard someone coming, they looked up.
Woof woof woof! The wild dogs barked crazily and backed away while barking.
Lin Cao drove them away, but when he looked up and saw the alley behind them, Lin Cao was completely stunned.
The guards came running over and were dumbfounded.
This is a very narrow alley, near the intersection of a street extending in all directions.
Looking inside the corpse that the wild dogs dug up, there were piles of corpses, all of which were Xuanwu soldiers wearing black armor. All the weapons were there, and there was no trace of blood on the ground.
Some corpses were buried in the snow, and some were piled up like hills. It was estimated that there were nearly fifty corpses.
This, this is what General Song Lang did? Konoe said.
Impossible, another person said, Song Langjiang went to Dongping Academy early.
Then, Konoe lowered his voice, could it be that someone couldn't stand the Xuanwu Army's evil deeds at Qingshan Academy, so
Before he finished speaking, Lin Cao turned around and gave him a hard slap on the forehead: "Fuck your mother, what do you mean by evil deeds?"
Konoe was stunned and looked at him with stupid eyes.
Lin Cao was furious, and all his soldiers were thoughtless.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said: It's still early, maybe no one will notice. You are divided into three groups, go all the way to find the Xuanwu Army people, all the way into the palace, and all the way back to the mansion to dispatch people. I am alone at Dongping Academy.
