The enemy attacks made Zhao Kang realize how strict the guards at Lingyuan Pass were now.
He was still a hundred meters away from Lingyuan Pass, but the group of scholars guarding the dilapidated city wall shouted and picked up the torches one after another.
The people around me picked up the powder keg.
Zhao Kang squinted his eyes to see more clearly, stopped his progress, and looked at the group of nervous scholars.
The group of guys at the forefront were basically two in a row, one holding gunpowder and the other lighting the fire.
There was no fear on anyone's face, so he understood.
Facing such a group of people, even if he is eloquent, it is of no use.
They all fought against Jingjun with one spirit, that is, they would never let an enemy enter the pass.
I originally thought of revealing my identity and trying to reason with these guys, but in this situation, if I said I was Zhao Kang, I would be surrounded and bombed.
"Let's go."
After Zhao Kang thought about it clearly, he turned around and Chen Maokai asked, "What do you think about that, Marshal?"
It is impossible for Jingjun to shrink back just because he admires the will of these mourning troops. It would not take even a day to destroy them.
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "It's a pity to kill them. One day, I'll shoot them off at this time tomorrow."
"As commanded."
Watching Zhao Kang go away, Gao Yuan thought for a while and called his deputy general, "Send someone to shout that if you don't surrender, our army will attack with all its strength in one day."
Jing Jun's men began to stand outside Lingyuan Pass and shout loudly.
But no one responded.
Within the city.
Several scholars who were loading gunpowder stopped what they were doing when they heard the people in front coming to convey the news.
"Lin Xiu, Jingjun is going to attack tomorrow, what do you think?" one person asked.
The scholar who was questioned calmly said, "Since I came here, I have not thought about living. Tomorrow will be nothing special."
Just give it a try."
One person yelled angrily, "It's a shame that the imperial court is so incompetent that we can't support a single tree!"
"Yes, the imperial capital has not sent troops to support it for such a long time. I am afraid that those officials have surrendered long ago. They should be killed a thousand times!"
Lin Xiu smiled and sat down on the ground, completely losing his usual gentlemanly demeanor.
I took out the books I found from a bookstore in the city and looked through them.
The owner of the bookstore ran away a long time ago, which gave him an advantage. He had wanted to buy this book for a long time, but he had never been able to afford it.
At this moment, I no longer care about whether taking it without asking is a thief.
While reading, Lin Xiu spoke again and again.
"If our death can awaken the bloody spirit of our countrymen, then why should we fear death? The imperial court does not have military support, but there will definitely be people who will support us."
"The Academy, as well as Dean Gongsun, as long as she issues orders, students from all over the world will definitely follow her call and work with us to protect our homes and our country!"
Others couldn't help but nod after hearing his words.
"Yes, the dean has said in lectures in various places that the fire of firewood can start a prairie fire! We are the trees in the fire!"
"As long as we can defend this Lingyuan Pass, the Chinese people will never sit still and wait for death!"
Everyone's will was high again and they did what they should do.
The long night finally fades, and day finally comes.
Jing's army formed a formation, the three armies joined forces, and more than a hundred artillery were aimed at Lingyuan Pass in front.
Everyone in the mourning army had already known the power of cannons, and many of them held gunpowder barrels and faced the cannon fire.
I hope I can outrun the artillery fire and rush into the enemy crowd.
Zhao Kangqi
He was riding his war horse among the crowd, looking at the group of scholars who were leaving the city and preparing to resist desperately.
There is also some pity in my heart.
At the same time, I understood more clearly what Zhang Shenghe said to himself in Yuanjiang County.
As long as Gongsun Yunxiu, the dean of the academy, gives an order, countless scholars will rush to the battlefield.
Now I have seen it.
Although he didn't understand why Gongsun Yunxiu didn't stop this group of people as agreed, Zhao Kang was not prepared to wait any longer.
Just when he was about to give the order, a white horse appeared on the horizon.
The white horse carries a fairy in white, from far to near, just like the person walking out of the painting.
Without any fear, he just appeared in front of the two armies.
Zhao Kang felt happy, this guy is finally here!
Among the mourning troops, some also recognized Gongsun Yunxiu, and excited shouts came out.
"Dean!"
"It's Dean Gongsun here!"
Lin Xiu even put down the powder keg in his hand and called Gongsun Yard excitedly.
Zhang Sheng once told Zhao Kang that among the academy deans he had ever seen, Gongsun Yunxiu was the purest.
At the same time, there is still a sentence left unsaid, which is also the most recognized by countless students of Zhou Dynasty.
Because compared to the previous high-ranking president of the academy, Gongsun Yunxiu only spent a short time in the academy in recent years.
In the three years after taking over as dean, she gave lectures in various parts of the Zhou Kingdom and sat and discussed Taoism with the great Confucians from various places.
Regardless of their status, everyone can listen to her and seek advice from Gongsun Yunxiu.
She will also answer them one by one. She once stayed up for two days and two nights to answer questions for students in Bianzhou.
She completely conquered the students of Zhou Dynasty with her own talents, learning and conduct, breaking those who said that she was a woman who could not be allowed to do anything.
Questions from the Academy Dean.
Therefore, there were quite a few students from all over the Zhou Kingdom who had seen Gongsun Yunxiu, and now they were all excitedly calling for their spiritual symbol.
But little did they know that today the god in their minds was coming to destroy the city they were holding on to.
During the call, Gongsun Yunxiu got off his horse and stood in front of Lin Xiu and a group of mourning soldiers.
His face was calm and his voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears. "Nearly a year ago, my Gongsun Yunxiu went to Qianguo as an envoy and then returned."
"During this period, I surrendered to the state of Qian and betrayed the state of Zhou like Wu Xiong."
"Today, I, Gongsun Yunxiu, will lead the army behind him to enter the pass. Whoever stops him will die!"
Zhao Kang was stunned, and all the mourning soldiers were also stunned.
The whole place was silent!
Gongsun Yunxiu's words were like a sharp sword piercing the hearts of all the students.
Everyone looked at her blankly.
They, the scholars, had been holding on to Lingyuan Pass for nearly ten years, and in the end they were still confident that they could save the country.
I even believe that the gods in my heart will call upon scholars from all over the world to resist Jingjun.
Now the gods have come, but they did not bring reinforcements.
He even stood with the enemy and destroyed them on behalf of the enemy!
Turning around calmly, Gongsun Yunxiu said, "Please invite Jing Jun to enter the pass."
After saying that, she walked towards the mourning army in front, and the crowd dispersed automatically, just like when she was giving lectures in various places in the Zhou Kingdom.
Everyone greeted her as the dean respectfully.
Only this time, the scholar's eyes were filled with confusion and confusion, and the energy in his eyes was also lost.
No one knows that Gongsun Yunxiu is an unparalleled swordsman.
This time, he used himself as a sword and cut off the soul of the mourning army with his own hands.
